The power is in control, and the convenience of life and death is only in one thought.
Xue Chongxun said: As a general, he was proud of his death in the battlefield by marching a horse and corpse. Is it a pity to die in this room?Now that the Turks have invaded, I decided not to kill you and let you die on the battlefield.
No one said anything. Zhang Jiuling and other aides wanted to know how Xue Chongxun planned to let them die on the battlefield. These generals were all people who led their troops all year round. If they were let go back to the mountain, they would always be able to bring up a bunch of soldiers.
Xue Chongxun then said: When I lead the army to aid Xicheng, you will form a suicide squad to attack the Turkic camp first!After death, he will be considered a sacrifice for his country and clear of all his sins. His family will give him pensions according to the court's laws, and his descendants will be descendants of the heroes.I can only give you such a chance, are you willing to do so?
The surrendered generals in the three cities were silent for a moment, and soon someone stood up and said: The death of a real man should be more vigorous than Mount Tai. I don’t want to die in this depressing house!Thank you King Jin to fulfill your wish!
The generals stood up and clasped their fists and shouted: Thank you, King Jin, for your success!
Li Gui said: We are nearly fifty brothers, and we are forming a team. Please ask the King of Jin to give you fifty mates of swords and soldiers. I can guarantee that the casualties of the Turks will be more than ten times greater than ours!
Very good, this is how the Tang Dynasty men should be.Xue Chongxun said coldly, and when he got up and wanted to leave, "Would you die with dignity?" or "Would you like to live with servile kneeling and kneeling with your knees... You should do it yourself."
After saying that, he walked out through the back door and the followers around him followed him out.They also found another official residence to set up a case to discuss military affairs.The Turkic army's war to the south is about to break out, and this is the top priority.
Everyone found a seat to sit down, and Zhang Wulang first analyzed the military situation: Xicheng is 490 miles away from Zhongcheng, and it is probably a whole day before the expedition of the military newspaper from Xicheng.At this time, the Turkic soldiers had already approached Xicheng and began to attack. The current situation in Xicheng was probably lost.
Zhang Wulang has a handsome face, a tall figure, a moderate expression and demeanor, and has a very decent person. He has the same gentleman style recognized by the public. In contrast, Yin Ci seems to be less heroic and not brave, with a white face and too handsome. Although he has a handsome beard on his lips, he still looks like a little white face. However, he usually regards himself as a Confucian general, and usually keeps his military books, and he always carries a book with him wherever he goes.
At this time, Yin Ci also agreed with Zhang Wulang's estimate and made a suggestion: This time the Turkic invasion was in a situation where we were unprepared, and the West City was no longer able to do anything. The plan to protect the current situation should be to rectify the troops in the east city of Zhongcheng as soon as possible so that they can restore morale and combat strength as soon as possible. In particular, the maximum number of troops in Zhongcheng garrison was nearly 20,000, which was also the location of the Anbei Protector, which was even more crucial.By then, the Guanzhong army would be combined with another 30,000, and the total strength of Anbei region would reach 50,000 or 60,000. Relying on the fortresses in the middle and east cities as the fundamental opportunity to attack, the chances of defeating the Turks would be very likely to win.
The main thing in the military is that the two generals are talking, and the staff rarely interrupt. After all, they have the expertise to specialize in military generals, have the experience of leading troops and have the right to speak.
The culture and knowledge of the generals such as Bao Cheng and Li Kuiyong are limited, and their vision in the overall situation of the war is not as good as that of Zhang and Yin.
Xue Chongxun was silent as usual. Whenever the generals of the staff discussed things, he rarely spoke and listened and thought, and then made a decision. This was his usual habit.
However, his silence did not affect everyone's discussion, because they all knew that Xue Chongxun needed to make a decision to weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and explaining the relationships he might not have imagined in front of him will help to make more reasonable decisions.
Today is a little different from usual. Xue Chongxun didn't say anything for a long time, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Wulang and others also felt a little strange: In theory, there are not many choices in military information, and it should be easy to make a decision.
All the advice they should have been made, and everyone couldn't find the words for a while, and they turned to look at Xue Chongxun, who was sitting in the north without saying a word.He still lowered his head and said nothing.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was not the safety of the West City or the defense of the Middle East City, but the seal of the Shanyu Road marching chief executive hanging on his body.
The Chang'an court could not bear the burden of war and planned to temporarily negotiate peace with the Turks.
Discussing peace... He might have been too dazzled and made a sound of these two words he had been thinking about.
The generals were stunned and the staff were thinking.
At this time, Xue Chongxun raised his head and finally spoke: I have heard a saying: Peace is fought.This year we will try our best to reach a reconciliation with the Turks, but before peace talks, we must bite it and let it know the pain before we can understand the meaning of the word "he".
How did Xue Lang plan to teach the Turks a lesson?
Xue Chongxun sneered: Of course, it is an offensive and field battle. Defense is a matter of no roots. Grasping the initiative is the right way.
Wang Changling cautiously advised: The initial changes in Anbei Town made the army unstable, and the report said that there were no less than 100,000 Turkic troops, and the situation was clear at a glance.Wan Wang Xue Lang thought three times: If you stick to the important place and wait for an opportunity to attack, you can at least protect the northern border; if you attack in an unfavorable situation, you may lose the important place.
Xue Chongxun thought about it for a long time at first, but now hesitated: I have thought it through, just decide like this, right?
Everyone did not raise any objections. Although he used an inquiring tone, a group of acquaintances knew that there was no possibility of any change.
He pondered for a moment and said: To gather the war horses from the middle and east cities and the nearby units, use the Guanzhong army as the main force to form an army suitable for rapid marching to wait for the dispatch, and the soldiers guarding the city do not need too many military horses to give up the horses.At that time, several thousand Guanzhong troops were left to assist in the defense in Zhongcheng, and several generals were dispatched to Dongcheng to arrange the city defense; while our army mainly focused on offensive forces to prepare combat strategies.
After the decision was made, everyone worked separately in order to realize the idea of the Shanyu Road marching tent.
Xicheng has been found to be helpless, so naturally the reinforcements were not sent out, and only some scouts scattered to the northwest to inquire about military information. In the past few days, everyone has mainly mobilized troops and horses in Zhongcheng and Dongcheng to engage in internal rectification.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. After a few days, Xue Chongxun suddenly received a report from the Malaysians, and the west city was still unbreakable!
This news made civil and military officials below Xue Chongxun feel unbelievable.
Although the West City was built strongly, it was really unpredictable to resist the Turkic army with less than 100,000 troops without breaking it with a loose sand.
Without the central army and the centers of the various departments, under normal circumstances, not only is the battle chaotic, but it is normal to collapse once attacked...
Xue Chongxun reviewed his left and right and said: It may be that the civil servants in the city summoned low-level generals to stabilize the morale of the army, so that they could persevere.
He thought to himself that during the Song and Ming dynasties, civil officials led their troops. Although civil officials mainly compiled poetry, books and classics, they did not necessarily fail to command the army to fight.
Everyone nodded in confusion to deal with it. Someone said: What happened? You will know just when there is a messenger who broke out in the city.They were short of troops and were struggling to defend the city, so they would definitely find a way to send people to urge reinforcements.
Zhang Wulang said: Since there is still hope in the West City, we cannot sit idly by the truth and reason. If we can defend this town, our army will be more in depth and the situation will become more favorable.I suggest that troops be dispatched to reinforce as soon as possible, and to respond to the Xicheng defenders inside and outside to repel the Turks.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun agreed without hesitation: What Wulang said is exactly what I want, and having the West City as a stronghold will be of great benefit to our main force's attack and facing the enemy head-on battle.You can order the assembly of all the troops of the Ma army to reorganize the army!
The battlefield changes rapidly, and only by responding in time can we adapt to the needs of the situation.Xue Chongxun's army did not delay and simply sent troops decisively.
At that time, the Guanzhong army was 30,000, leaving 5,000 infantry troops to guard the Anbei Protectorate in Zhongcheng. The remaining 25,000 people and nearly 10,000 horse teams mobilized from Zhong and Dongcheng, formed an army of more than 30,000 people, led by Xue Chongxun himself, with Zhang Wulang and Yin Ci and other direct confidants as deputy, plus dozens of generals of the Guanzhong army to control various units, the group of people went out of Zhongcheng in a mighty manner and rushed straight to the west city to help.
The army camped for a day and met a small team of light cavalry protruding from the west city at night.
These people who reported the news were summoned by Xue Chongxun himself, and set up a reward of wine and meat in the tent to commend the soldiers of Xicheng for their tenacity.
One of them led the team clasped his fists and said: "Bei Qi was ordered by the Central Army in Xicheng to go out of the city for help. Now that we have already sent a large army to the west, our mission has been completed."
The Central Army in Xicheng?
Xue Chongxun asked with interest, "Are you presided over the city defense?"It is a talented person who can suppress the hard battles of all armies without any preparation and military power. It is really a danger that China shows its true nature!
When Xue Chongxun mentioned this, the messenger immediately became excited and his admiration was beyond words: Mr. Li is such a person, brave and resourceful, and Xicheng would have been broken this time without him!At first, the army thought that he was young and barely obeyed military orders on the surface, and he was not very at ease. However, within a day, Mr. Li was prepared for something as if he was a god. He said that he would pay attention to defense and attacked Turkic soldiers, and the generals were slightly convinced.Once, the North Gate fought very hard, and 60% of the brothers in the city died. The Turkic soldiers had already attacked the wall. Mr. Li led his soldiers to kill him and did not fear death, so he took the wall back...
Whose Mr. Li is?Xue Chongxun asked.
The messenger said: His name is Li Shizhi, and he is the descendant of the royal family.
This kid is really too perverse. Xue Chongxun can't remember the title of Siming Kuangke in history. He didn't remember which lineage of the Li family has a talent named Li Shizhi.He turned to look at Erling.
Zhang Jiuling said calmly: Great-grandson of Emperor Taizong, grandson of King Min of Changshan (Li Chenggan).King Min of Changshan was the crown prince during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and wanted to seize the throne, so he was dismissed from the crown prince. The lineage was in a slump and later he was not successful in various dynasties.
Sure enough, it is still a talent like Zhang Jiuling who is dedicated to the career of the government who has a deep understanding of contemporary politics and remembers all kinds of details clearly.
Oh... I understand.Xue Chongxun nodded.
The messenger had not yet had enough fun, so he talked about all kinds of big and small things, and even some stories were still difficult to tell the truth from the truth.
He was very excited, but Xue Chongxun's performance was not enthusiastic. He just listened with a smile, neither interrupting others nor praising them.
Xue Chongxun seemed very patient. After receiving the messenger, he asked them to have a full meal and drink before they could go down and settle down.It was already very late at this time, and the staff and generals also said goodbye to go to rest.
The moon is dark outside the tent, and there is no rain, but there is no star in the sky.
Zhang Jiuling and Wang Changling went along with each other and couldn't help but whisper: That person's vision is just like this, after all, his age is too young and his experience is limited.
Wang Changling himself was also relatively young. After hearing this, he felt a little unhappy and said: If the city is broken, his life may be lost. I guess there is nothing I can do about it.
Xue Chongxun said: As a general, he was proud of his death in the battlefield by marching a horse and corpse. Is it a pity to die in this room?Now that the Turks have invaded, I decided not to kill you and let you die on the battlefield.
No one said anything. Zhang Jiuling and other aides wanted to know how Xue Chongxun planned to let them die on the battlefield. These generals were all people who led their troops all year round. If they were let go back to the mountain, they would always be able to bring up a bunch of soldiers.
