Chapter 975 Slashing Loulan with a Blade (continued)
However, at the same time, in Chang'an City, after receiving the news that wars broke out one after another and the peaceful thieves in the city had contracted, the prime minister Zheng Ting, with a purple robe and white head, was not very happy; instead, he sternly said to the generals who came to repay him:
"If you lose in the battle, you will be defeated. Don't say anything to me if you defeat the enemy for more than ten thousand and then lose your strength. If you have no choice but to go into twenty miles to reorganize and fight again, Wen Guowei's words are just a joke... "
"The old man in the hall knows that this is the situation where our army has its own victory or defeat in the bandits."
However, some of the generals present still tried hard to argue: it immediately attracted a lot of echoes.
"At that time, the official army was no longer bound by the gains and losses of fighting with the bandit army for each place. It was blossoming in many places. Under various attacks, the bandit army could only passively defend and dare not leave!"
"Each person has his own victory or defeat, more victory or defeat, more victory or defeat, and only one is equal, and more victory or defeat is also his own victory or defeat? Don't tell me that the eleventh group of troops will be launched one after another, so that the thieves outside the city will just turn to the defensive moment?"
However, Zheng Ting said unmoved:
"Mystery, the government army has suffered a lot of damage now, but the bandit army has also gone through all their hardships."
However, some people argued:
"To be honest, the horses of those who are low and impatient to rush, so they often travel with their own pace and dismount to fight before they are in the battle. This is where our army's chances of victory are...
"The old man from Qibingtang, although the thief army is known for its stubborn firearm formation battle in front of us, there are many flaws between running and fighting and rushing around, and the official army has repeatedly won it."
"You must call the old man to know that the firearms of the thief army are strange and sharp, but as long as they are approached, they will be useless and can only be clearly distinguished by swords and guns. If they enter the narrow and tortuous places where they cannot be used in the field of vision and formation, all kinds of methods will be useless."
"If there is no more camp or moat protection, even the light-fitting sprinting formation can fight against it for a long time..."
"It's a pity that our army is not able to lose money, and most of the cows and horses are weak. Even if they gain the upper hand against the thief, they are unable to take advantage of the victory and pursue more goals, and they have won more goals..."
"That's right, I dare to ask my husband when Sanchuan's loss will be the first time. We can also consolidate the army and regain the initiative of offensive and defense to change positions."
Soon, the temporary meeting became a live performance of their complaints and congratulations. In the end, Zheng Ting promised to allocate a portion of the thief army seized from the three major forces as rewards and incentives, and then comforted and sent them again.
"The superiors will be happy, and there will be no power. If there is too much talk, there will be no trust. If there is no grace, there will be no power. If there is no power, there will be no grace. This is the basic way of ruling,"
But after the generals parted, Zheng Ting suddenly walked in to Zheng Ningji and said:
"grown ups!!"
Zheng Ningji was a little surprised why he talked about this.
However, Zheng Ting, who was exhausted, had no intention of continuing to explain more to him. Because after this war, he found that his authority and control methods since he entered Chang'an still disappeared a lot without realizing it; so that these military generals who represented the strength of various families had already shown signs of joining forces to fight and argue with him in person.
However, he could not even point it out on the spot, so as not to shake the stability of the current situation against the enemy. Regardless of behind-the-scenes transactions and compromises in private, no rumors about disputes or differences between Taiwan and powerful military generals are allowed to appear; otherwise, it may become the beginning of a chain reaction that will affect the whole body.
Fortunately, the three direct armies he controlled were still intact. In addition to those vassal departments that fed by themselves, the main force of the Western Army headed by the Guiyi Army still had to continue to rely on the food and grass equipment in his hands. In addition, after breaking through the Danei and Beinei, they tortured many wealth and treasures obtained from the thieves, and searched the thieves to use for a large amount of food and grass to maintain, so the situation was maintained.
However, the next moment, I saw my eldest son Zheng Ningji go and return with a personal soldier and said anxiously:
"Sir, there is an emergency military situation in Wenmo Shiqilang in the eastern part of the world!"
"Don't be impatient, let's talk about it in detail..."
Zheng Ting said in a quiet voice:
"It is said that since Lu Yuyue, the general leader of the fourteenth tribe in the eastern part of Wenzhou, was lost in the formation, the six tribes still followed the leaders of each family to clamor on the spot, claiming that the clan members were withering and the cattle and horses were constantly resting, and they wanted to return to the Liangdi to cultivate themselves. Zheng Aipan was working hard to appease and delay, and pretending that there were still rewards in Xingtai."
The personal soldier also said in one breath:
"Shiqilang did a very good job, and quickly sent the right god general Qi (Kejian) to come..."
Zheng Ting said with a sharp look:
"Send someone to use my handwritten letter to inform the six tribes of Dongwen, and ask the leaders to come to the Xi Neiyuan for rewards."
Then, he explained to Zheng Ningji again
"My son will go to the Pangzi tribe of the Anxi Uighurs to cooperate with the children of Shence to take over the six tribes of Hezhenpingba Shangdongwen. Xu Uighurs also have their tribes, and the cattle, horses, food and fodder are all returned to Xingtai..."
"Sir...this!"
Zheng Ningji couldn't help but say in surprise:
"This is a military and national plan for the safety of the world. How can Dongwen let go of action without authorization to shake the situation! The oath of the white horses to reach the altar on Guzang Mountain is still vivid in my ears."
Zheng Ting said decisively without hesitation:
"I am passing on my order, whether it is the Pingyi army in Nanwen, the troops in Xiwen, the troops in Xiwen, the troops in Danghun, the Qiang, or the troops in various civilians. But those who dare to retreat by themselves will all use this example. Not to mention that I want to carry cattle and horses, even the troops will die for me in the great cause of defending the king and fighting against the thieves."
Speaking of this, this prime minister of the dynasty who was always gentle and handsome was a little bit crazy and cruel and resolute that people dared not look directly at and face.
In Xingyuan Prefecture, two hundred miles away, outside Nanzheng City, which had been successfully rescued, there were flags waving and guns and halberds like forests. The most eye-catching thing about the characters "Yang" and "Gao" are two battle flags on the characters "Yang".
"These peaceful thieves are too cunning. They are placed outside the Nanzheng City, just empty shells of bluffing... It's really a waste of my plan with Gao Junhou."
Yang Fugong, the only entrusted left and right Privy Councilor of the Tang Dynasty, was also complaining loudly to the left and right:
However, as the Nanzheng defenders who opened the city gates to welcome him again, the reprimand and accountable voices from Yang Fugong suddenly turned into loud crying on the spot. Because, his good brothers who had been supporting and relying on each other for many years were robbed back to Nanzheng City after the defeat in the Battle of Chenggu, they became more and more ill and could not bear to bear it. However, Yang Fuguang, who was patrolling the city and boosted morale, suddenly took his last breath a few days before the reinforcements arrived.
"I want more food and grass. Recently, several batches of food and grass transported by Xichuan have been to those... It's impossible for me to raise troops to fight against thieves while sitting down to eat the mountains, right? Why don't you ask me to go to Xichuan's main town and ask a question..."
In the west direction of the city, in another large tent of the central army, Gao Renhou, the governor of Xichuan, also urged with a solemn look on his face.
At the same time, in Jianmen Pass, the Longjian Army (Guard and Capture Envoy) in Jianmen Pass in the southern Xichuan area, Yang Shouzhen, who was responsible for supervising the food road, was also respectfully speaking to Tang Xizong and others who appeared in the pass:
"The little minister should be in everything, but he will follow the leader of the Holy Lord, and he will never be in harmony with the traitor party who is stolen..."
"Since Yang was a traitor, even if he had the title of kindness, the villain should be ashamed of being a subordinate. He also asked the Holy Lord to give him another name to the point of looking at him..."
