Chapter 82: Obtaining a Death in the Narrow

November 5th

The Shuanglong Qi Scheme: Within the first three days after the successful implementation, the Later Tang Empire had almost no power to fight back.

The Later Tang Empire also prevented the possible attack on the Golden Dragon Kingdom in advance, but it was based on the fact that the Golden Dragon Kingdom could use up to two to three divisions of the 160,000 Northeast Legion to launch an invasion on the southwest county with empty troops after the main force crossed the river. The gathered Central Army of the Golden Dragon Kingdom followed up and reinforced the Northwest Army of the Later Tang Empire. As long as a Southwest County Division left by Jiangling Prefecture could defend for two days, the cavalry of the Central Army of the Later Tang Empire could reinforce. The main force followed up, which might cause the Golden Dragon Kingdom to burn out. The Later Tang Army took the opportunity to directly take Jiang'an County, which had also empty troops. By then, the southern legion of the Golden Dragon Kingdom that had crossed the Yulong River would be attacked by the Later Tang Empire and the Yulong Kingdom, and the chicken would not be able to steal the chicken and lose the rice!

But all this is just a wishful thinking based on the miscalculation of the relationship between the two dragons. The only point out the possibility of a large-scale attack by the two dragons. It is also strongly opposed to one of the four famous Hualong generals who went to war with the Daliang Kingdom. Dongfang Bai, the commander of the Central Army of the Later Tang Dynasty, was dismissed from his military post by suspicious Emperor Liu Piaoxu and was idle at home to rest.

With Dongfang Bai's age of only 28 and his outstanding martial arts, how can he need to recuperate? The real reason is that Liu Piaoxu, as the prince of the Liu family, led the rebellion of the Five Kings ten years ago. After taking away the throne of Liu Yufei's father, Liu Qinghua, was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, and his opponents were worried about their heavy troops.

Dongfang Bai was only eighteen years old ten years ago, and made his mark in the war between the Later Tang army and the Jinlong army. Over the past ten years, he made many contributions in many frictions with the Golden Dragon Kingdom. At the age of 28, he served as the commander of the Central Army. He is known as one of the four famous generals of Hualong. In addition, the Dongfang family has great influence and has a marriage relationship with the two or three legions of the Later Tang Empire. It is actually one of the most worrying internal worries that Liu Piaoxu fears the most. He is the current head of the Dongfang family and the younger brother of Dongfang Weiming, the right prime minister Dongfang Weixiao, is the head of the Jiange in the imperial capital. He is the senior brother of the current leader of the Jiange, Piaomiao Fairy, and Ling Hanyan! Liu Piaoxu just took the pretext that Dongfang Bai was intimidated by the pretext that Dongfang Bai was deceiving the public, opposed the expansion of the empire and unified the world, and cut off Dongfang Bai's military power.

Liu Piaoxu paid Gao Mao's price for his wrong judgment: the four reserve divisions of the Southern Legion secretly formed by the Jinlong Army in Jiang'an County, leaving only one division stationed at the base camp, and the remaining 120,000 people followed the main regular army into the southwest county of Hou Tang, responsible for supplementing the losses of the regular army, taking over the newly occupied areas of the regular army, and sweeping away small and medium-sized towns guarded by the guards with only some unworthy combat power. Soon, the situation in the vast area of ​​the southwest county was controlled by the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

Although Liu Xufeng urgently sent the Central Army to the southwest county, the Central Army, which was the most trained and most powerful among the eight main combat corpses, did not assemble in advance and was temporarily ordered. In addition, because the former commander Dongfang Bai was dismissed from office for no reason, Liu Piaoxu's new commander Liu Qingming was first appointed to the southwest county and had no prestige at all. The morale of the entire army was greatly affected. His actions were surprisingly slow. The Fifth Division, which arrived outside Hongya City, Hubei Province, first and forty thousand cavalrymen, who arrived half a moment earlier, retreated to Bao'an Town, a small town at the junction of Central County and Southwest County.

The southern legion of the Jinlong Army advanced to Zhibao'an Town and confronted most of the Central Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty that had arrived one after another until November 5th. The southwestern counties of the Later Tang Empire were all under the control of the Jinlong Army!

The Jinlong Army Northeast Army spent a day, and 30,000 people attacked Zhenhai Fucheng at the cost of 30,000 people. After annihilated the Zhenhai Division and the Guards of Houtang, the 80,000 troops were supplemented with the loss of troops and took over the entire Zhenhai Prefecture. The 120,000 troops rushed south and attacked Baotai City, where the Northwest County Prefecture was located, and the Jinlong Army was trying to form a 160,000 troops besieged Baotai City, which was only one division and guarded. Fortunately, the Northwest Army of Houtang was drawn from the 120,000 troops of Dingzhou Prefecture, and the Second Division rushed north and entered Baotai City before the Jinlong Army, and stood for help.

In this way, Dingzhou Prefecture, which is also in the northwest county, Huayang Prefecture, which is between Dingzhou Prefecture and Baotai Prefecture, is stationed by only two regiments and local guards respectively. The troops are empty, and the Central Army's vanguard cavalry sent by Liu Cao, the King of Golden Dragon, cut off the contact between the two prefectures and the outside world. The Imperial Army and the two infantry divisions followed, less than two hundred miles away from Huayang City!

To the west of the Later Tang Empire, within a few days, the Jinlong Army dispatched 520,000 regular troops and 200,000 reserve troops. If there was no accident in the vast northwest plain and the wealthy southwest county, the two prefectures of Huayang and Dingzhou will fall into the hands of the Jinlong Army one after another. As one goes up and down, the central counties of the northwest county and the southwest county will be seriously threatened!

In the south, because the Shuanglong Alliance Navy controlled the water surface of the Yulong River, the four preparation divisions of the Sima Central Army and the First Guards' First Guards' Division were 200,000 people boarded the ship again and left the 1st Guards' Division in Jiangyin City, completely cutting off the 160,000 people from the Southwest Army of the Later Tang Dynasty. The 160,000 people from the Central Reserve Division continued to move south along the river and reinforced the Central Army of Yanbo Prefecture.

The Yulong Central Army, which received reinforcements, immediately sent 40,000 regular troops and 80,000 reserve troops. With the support of the 100,000 naval divisions, 220,000 people rushed straight to the Qingjiang Prefecture, the Nanhu Legion of the Tang army, which was adjacent to the downstream of Yanbo Mansion, to attack Daliang, and only one naval division stationed in Baisha City, Qingjiang Prefecture and the Fourth Division stationed in Qingjiang Prefecture to prevent the Ding City raid on the other side. If Qingjiang Prefecture is lost, the Yulong Army will take advantage of the situation to advance eastward and occupy only the reserve troops. Baijiang Prefecture and Nanhu County Detective, the guards stationed in Baijiang Prefecture and Changsha Prefecture, the Nanhu County Detective, and 160,000 Nanhu Legion will become an isolated army similar to the Southwest Legion. Not only that, Ruoyulong Army will then detour along the western foot of the Mount Everest Mountains from Changsha Prefecture, and the Mount Everest Legion, which faces the Yulong Army head-on with Yanbo Mansion, will also be in a hurry!

At this time, most of the Nanhu Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty in Donghai County did not dare to act rashly. It was not that they were reluctant to let go of the Lufeng and Haifeng prefectures of the Donghai County of the Daliang Kingdom that had already eaten, but that Zhu Wen, the King of Daliang, had sent 200,000 Central Army and 80,000 Baise Prefectures to approach the city of Haifeng. The Nanhu Legion had only 120,000 troops in Haifeng City. If they retreated rashly, they would be wiped out by being pursued and besieged! Even if they retreated safely, they might lead wolves into the house and lead the Daliang army into Nanhu County, how could Zhu Wen, the King of Daliang, not avenge his treason?

The Later Tang Empire, which had the largest regular army, suddenly had a completely passive situation because of the decision-making mistake of Emperor Liu Piaoxu. He also felt the distress of lack of troops. The crisis was almost the same as the Jade Dragon Kingdom when he was facing joint attacks by several countries. It was even better than that. Therefore, the Later Tang Empire was facing a real crisis, but at that time it was a shocking scam directed by the Jade Dragon King Sima Yuan and the Golden Dragon King Liu Cao!

Huazi said: War is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death, and must be observed... On the dragon throne of the Political Affairs Hall of the Zhongdu Palace, Liu Piaoxu silently recited the opening sentence of "Huazi Art of War", but in his heart he was thinking about the situation of the war and the map of the entire Later Tang Empire, the distribution map of the troops, and thought about how to solve the current crisis. Although "Huazi Art of War" was listed as a secret by Hua Yinghong, the son of Liberty, because the Free Army expanded its army too quickly, it needed a large amount of printing to train generals. It is not surprising that it was leaked out under the intention of spying and collecting of the world's famous Blood Guard. In fact, Hua Yinghong didn't care much about it. In the same military book, different people who commanded the army had different strategies and strategies. If you only use one military strategy, you can be called a military strategist or famous general, which would be too underestimated.

Xuan Dongfang Bai saw him! After hesitating for a while, Liu Piaoxu finally issued an imperial edict to summon Dongfang Bai. Is it just that the famous general Dongfang Bai has returned to the scene and can he turn the tide and solve the current crisis of the Later Tang Empire?

Jianghan City, Ding Family Ancestral Hall

Ding's patriarch Ding's clan leader sat high in the middle of the above meeting hall, and next to it was a slim old man about 70 years old and dressed in dark cloth. He closed his eyes and placed two rows of twelve chairs in the sanctuary hall. Except for one of them empty, there was an old man about 60 years old sitting in each of the rest.

This time, the temporary clan elders were held to alarm the elders. It was really impatient to be the one who was in the face of life and death. Ding Zixing faced the elders except his second brother Ding Zili, and he went straight to the point. These elders were not senior masters of the Ding family's direct lineage, or the clan leader of the side branch of the Ding family. The real power of decision-making for major events was actually in the hands of the clan elders. There was no decision-making authority for the clan elders. As the head of the clan elders, he had no right to make decisions on particularly important matters without authorization. As the head of the clan elders, he had no right to make decisions on particularly important matters without authorization.

There was no one in the hall for a while. These people have been in the position of elders for many years, have profound skills and extensive knowledge, and are used to strong winds and waves. Their expressions have not changed because of Ding Zixing's scary words.

The four major forces of the Jade Dragon Kingdom were originally in a balanced state. My Ding family lived in Jianghan County for generations, and was deeply rooted. They also became intimate with the eldest prince Sima Tai. They mastered the initiative. Therefore, the descendant of the sword, Lingbo Fairy Shui Xinyue, also visited. Ding Zixing saw everyone's expressions moving. Even the former patriarch of the old man who closed his eyes and rested his mind, Ding Chunqiu, had his eyelids moved and continued: I thought that when the Jinlong Army fought with the Sima family, both sides were injured, my Ding family could take the opportunity to make profits and take advantage of the king to occupy the three counties of the Sima family, Luo Lan and Yulong, and support Sima Tai as a puppet. Then wait for the time to be ripe and replace it, unify the Jade Dragon, and eventually achieve hegemony.

With just these few words, we can tell that Ding is ill-intentioned and is not a good-looking lamp. If it is really the King of the Golden Dragon, the King of the Jade Dragon. After the war between the two dragons, Ding's plan may not be without hope of success.

Seeing the elders further interested, Ding Zixing changed his mind and said: But the situation has taken a sharp turn recently. He was obviously a master who was able to speak. He paused a little, which made everyone feel more energetic. He said again: The Jade Dragon King Sima Yuan and the Golden Dragon King Liu Cao actually joined forces to create a surprising plan, playing with Liu Piaoxu of the Later Tang Empire in his palms, and the momentum was very prosperous...

Ding Zixing briefly explained the situation in Hualong Continent to the Presbyterian Council for a while. The thrilling points attracted most of the elders to listen. Only Ding Chunqiu and two or three elders still had their expressions as usual. Everyone's cultivation level was high and low. This shows how it can be seen.

Now, my Ding family confronts the Southwest Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty, which is cut off from its way back, like fighting against the trapped beasts in a cage. Although it can be fought and annihilated, it happened to be hit by the Jade Dragon King Sima's plan to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, and in vainly consume the precious life of my Ding family's son.

What is the topic of the head of the family convening a temporary clan elders? The person who spoke was Ding Ziru, the leader of the Ding family's largest side branch, who was the same generation as Ding Zixing.

Brother Ziruo, please do not worry. Ding Zixing continued to say: Sima Yuan led the Central Army as the commander of the Later Tang Dynasty with the seventh prince Sima Lang. With the reserve army and the navy, there are 400,000 troops. If he can join forces with the Jinlong Navy, attack and annihilate the Later Tang Nanhu Army and occupy Nanhu County, and seize Nanhu County. With the wealth of Nanhu County and the large population, the power of Sima Family will expand rapidly. Ding Family will be in the Sima Family. If the two families intend to join forces, I am afraid that our Ding Family will face the disaster of the Feng Family of Nanhu County, which is not far away.

Ding Ziruo couldn't help asking: Now that the Sima family has hundreds of thousands of troops, they are under the rule of Luolan County, Wuling County, and Yulong County, the only remaining troops are the Guards and the Imperial Guards. The second and third reserve divisions of the Guards have advanced eastward to take over the Tianshui County of the Qiu Family and Dongguan. Isn't it a good time for our Ding family to take advantage of the opportunity to enter?

Ziruo didn't know that Sima Yuan and Sima Cheng were so treacherous. How could anyone take advantage of the opportunity that our clan could expand eight preparatory divisions with four open and four secrets? Will the Sima family expand with four open and dark methods? According to family information, at this time, the Sima family was in the three counties, and there were still nine preparatory divisions in secret. 360,000 people scattered in various places for training. If our Ding family launched rashly, they could gather within a few days. Not only would they have very few chances of victory, but they were afraid that they would just give the Sima family a rebellion, and they took the opportunity to launch a large-scale conquest. Our clan currently, including the navy, has only 520,000 people. They have to face the pressure of the southwestern legion of the Later Tang Dynasty. The Sima family and the Daliang kingdom Long Feiyang were in Qingyuan Prefecture and Shunde Prefecture. Even the Sima army in Nanhu County can attack back with the support of the navy at any time. The disaster of extermination will come immediately!Ding Zixing sighed in his heart that Sima's family gained the benefits of orthodox benefits and the advantages of monopolizing the three counties. In addition, the Baiyi Kingdom has paid tribute every year but has not entered the treasury, but has only offered Jade Dragon King. The potential of Sima's family is really unpredictable.

So what is the suggestion of the head of the family convening a temporary clan elders' meeting? Ding Ziruo was a little confused by Ding Ziying's analysis of the situation of sometimes good and sometimes bad, so he had to return to the original question

At today's meeting, there is only one topic: Ask the clan elders to grant me the right to judge the situation and use the "Spring and Autumn Wuji Order" at any time! Ding Zixing said almost word by word the final purpose of spending half a day analyzing the situation!

The shocking effect of this moment even the elders who closed their eyes and rested open their eyes!
