Chapter 1339: Defeating Li Xuan(2/2)
"If the King of Qin takes action, Shi Gongming may be...unable to escape disaster!"
…
After Jianzhou learned that the Northern Xinjiang Army was besieging Yuezhou, some people were worried that Yuezhou would fall and the communication between the Guanzhong army and Laochao would be cut off.
"The king's army is about to leave the border. What can he do even if he captures Yuezhou?" Ashina Yanrong looked a little thinner, but became more and more calm.
"When he conquers Yuezhou, he still has to leave men and horses to defend it. If the decisive battle is defeated, the Yuezhou defenders will be alone and can attack with a single drum!"
Ashina Yanrong looked at his subordinates and said solemnly: "The king will personally direct this battle, and we will attack enthusiastically to avenge our previous shame!"
A clerk came in and said, "General, a messenger from Yuezhou just came to ask for some water and change horses. He said that the siege of Yuezhou was caused by Li Xuan's false shot, which was fired in the east and struck in the west."
Everyone was stunned.
Then, they all looked at Ashina Yanrong.
Ashina Yanrong drew his sword and cut off a corner of the case.
That old face turned red with embarrassment.
"Shi Gongming is in danger!"
…
The army marched slowly on the official road.
Ahead is Jiagu Pass, and the guard has already led his people to wait at the foot of the pass.
"I've met the king!"
Shi Zhongtang nodded, "Is there any change in the Northern Xinjiang Army?"
The guard said: "There was no movement, not even the scouts came."
"Jianzhou is the barrier of Jiagu Pass. It will be difficult for the Northern Xinjiang Army's scouts to spy on the pass!" Wei Ming was eager to try, "Your Majesty, please order me to attack."
"Wait a minute." Shi Zhongtang smiled calmly, "Let's see the movements of the Northern Xinjiang Army."
He went up to the top of the city, looked ahead, and said: "One man is here to guard the pass, and no one can open it. It is a dangerous pass in the pass. I could have stood firm and used the pass in the pass as my foundation, and slowly planned it. But the whole world is watching.
To the south, if I cannot hold on, the general trend will turn towards the northern Xinjiang army."
Shi Zhongtang looked at his subordinates, "Are you confident in this battle?"
"have!"
Everyone knows that this battle will determine the general trend of the world.
Victory, Shi Zhongtang's power to dominate the world is unstoppable.
And they are all the heroes of the new dynasty, and their children and grandchildren are rich and noble.
Just thinking about it makes everyone feel hot.
Someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Li Mi and his people are still fleeing to Shu."
He Zun said: "That man's courage is so cowardly that it is despicable."
"The founding emperors often went to battle in person, and they knew the sufferings of the people. Therefore, after they ascended the throne, they administered the government calmly and did not panic when encountering enemies. Later, the emperors grew up in the deep palaces, enjoying themselves all day long. How could they know about military and state affairs?"
Shi Zhongtang sighed: "Li Mi is good at power, but power is used by ministers. The emperor should be above him, overlooking the world like a god. Using authority and upright means is the way of a king. Li Mi, let's go
Derailed."
"Your majesty is what you fight for." Wei Ming said, "Then Li Bi is not even qualified to lead a horse for your majesty."
The corners of Shi Zhongtang's mouth curled up slightly, thinking of how he often held horses for Zhang Huan in order to please him.
"After defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army, the corner of Shu is nothing to worry about." Shi Zhongtang really didn't take Shu seriously. "The road to Shu is difficult. I only need to block the passage from Shu to the outside world.
Just think about it, most of the meat-eaters in the Tang Dynasty followed Li Mi in Shu, what will happen as time goes by?"
"Infighting!" He Zun's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, you are so clever!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Shi Zhongtang burst into laughter.
"The art of war is just about pondering people's hearts." Shi Zhongtang stroked his beard and smiled, showing his calmness, "Li Xuan is known as a famous commander, and I have long wanted to fight him. This is my chance."
"The king will surely win." A man who was demoted from an official position said flatteringly.
Wei Ming glanced at this man with disdain and said: "This time my army came out of the pass, the southern army was watching eagerly, and Shi Gongming attacked Lizhou. This was a three-pronged attack. Even if Li Xuan had three heads and six arms, he could only say nothing.
.”
The demoted official flattered him and said with a smile: "The traitor who dares to resist the king's master is seeking death! After the victory, I suggested that this person be thrown into the Gongling Tomb to guard the tomb of his deceased father. In this way, he can
Demonstrate the benevolence of the king."
For those who have competed in the world, if they lose, they would rather die than live.
This is not kindness, but humiliation!
I know that I am filial to the emperor, but I am afraid that the coffin boards will not be able to hold it down.
Wei Ming shook his head, feeling that once these demoted officials rebelled, they would be the cruelest to their original masters and have the most vicious ideas.
"When I was in Chang'an, I had a relationship with Li Xuan. At that time, Li Xuan was arrogant... Then, this battle will shatter his arrogance!" Shi Zhongtang had memories in his eyes.
What He Zun admires most is the attitude of strong men like Shi Zhongtang who treat strong enemies as if they are nothing.
When the army first started, many people were worried about a disastrous defeat, but Shi Zhongtang was always confident.
It was this confidence that inspired his subordinates and convinced them.
Now, a huge foundation is in front of us.
The country is right in front of you!
Within reach!
He Zun's breathing was rapid. He looked at the civil and military officials, most of them were like this. Wei Ming's eyes even turned red.
"Defeat Li Xuan and rule the country!" Ashina Chunyu said what everyone was thinking.
More than a hundred riders appeared in the distance.
Until the city.
"It's the Yuezhou messenger."
Someone below the city said.
"Is the king here?" the messenger asked.
"The king is at the top of the city." The sergeant said, "Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for?" The messenger was a little impatient.
"Self-search!" the sergeant said coldly.
After becoming king, Shi Zhongtang was heavily guarded.
After the search, the courier walked up the steps.
Shi Zhongtang was surrounded by everyone and looked at the messenger calmly.
Qian Song, Shier’s mother!
This is He Zun's idea.
That coward is probably here to ask for help!
"I have met the king."
The messenger salutes.
"Say!" Shi Zhongtang said calmly. At this moment, he was thinking about this battle in his mind.
Three armies are attacking together, how to coordinate?
Especially when it comes to Shi Gongming, this person does great things but cares about his own life. If he wants to induce him with benefits, he has to threaten him...
"Your Majesty, five days ago, Li Xuan led the Northern Xinjiang army to suddenly surround Yuezhou City."
If Yuezhou is lost, it is lost. It is not a bad thing.
Shi Zhongtang looked indifferent.
"Two days later, the envoy sent people out of the city to repel hundreds of cavalry. Only then did he realize that the Northern Xinjiang Army had already fled far away..."
He Zun's expression changed slightly.
"Shi Gongming!" Shi Zhongtang's eyes were slightly cold, "Quick, go find out the news!"
"King!"
A group of cavalry galloped over, looking disgraced.
Chapter completed!
