Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Six years of innovation, April.  ?

    It¡¯s already spring, but it hasn¡¯t rained for several days.  Old farmers say that spring rain is as precious as oil, but few drops of rain fell on the ground in Guanzhong. The soil in the fields was cracked and there were patches everywhere.

    The people in Guanzhong feel like crying when they look at the land.

    It hasn¡¯t rained for a long time, and the weather here in Pujinguan is as hot as a steamer.

    The soldiers and watchmen of the Tang Army were sitting listlessly on the ground. On the left and right were the newly renovated forts. The earth-yellow city walls surrounded several forts.  The fortifications were impregnable, but the defenders had another thought.

    Cheng Zhijie, the general of the Tang Army, looked at the sawdust floating down the Yellow River from the upper reaches to the lower reaches, and couldn't help but feel worried.

    Lieutenant General Gao Zhengsheng walked to Cheng Zhijie, looked at the sawdust on the river and said: "These are all drifted down by Zhao Jun's boat building in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. I think they are almost the same. If Zhao Jun builds the boat, the next step is to fight.  Is it right?"

    "Lao Gao, do you think you can beat me?"

    Gao Zhengsheng was silent for a while and said: "Let's do our best to obey fate. If Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, does not surrender, we still have some confidence to fight Zhao Jun in Hedong, but now? Look at the morale of the army and the morale."

    Cheng Zhijie said: "No, isn't there also Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei?"

    Gao Zhengsheng shook his head and said: "You don't know that since the defeat of the Hedong War, His Majesty has already mobilized Duan Zhixuan's troops to enter the pass. It turns out that he has 30,000 troops under his command, all of whom are elites of the Hedong Army. But now I am afraid that even 20,000 men are under his command."  When the battle breaks out, Yuchi Gong's troops from Taiyuan attack him. I think he can't protect himself."

    Cheng Zhijie said: "Why are you saying these depressing words? Your Majesty treats us with great kindness. I, old Cheng, am a man who knows how to repay his kindness. If the Tang Dynasty reaches a point where it cannot hold on any longer, it will still count on us to help it."

    Gao Zhengsheng laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Give me a hand. You have to be able to help me move. You are a gold medalist. I think we brothers have to answer here."

    "You have to explain, you go and explain, I won't accompany you, and remember to call me Zhijie, don't call me Yaojin, I stopped calling you that a long time ago."

    The waves of the river were surging, violently beating against the hull of the ship.  Violent shaking.

    Li Jing was suddenly awakened from his sleep and jumped off the collapse.  Li Jing immediately stood up, pressed his sword and walked outside the cabin to see his own warship floating down the river. Everything was going well, and he was relieved.

    Another general, Zhang Zhenzhou, met Li Jing and said: "General manager, this ship has just arrived at Wu Gorge, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

    Li Jing waved his hand and said: "I had a nightmare. This dream was very bad and woke me up."

    Zhang Zhenzhou smiled when he heard this and said: "What kind of nightmare can wake up our manager. I want to hear about it."

    Li Jing pointed to the river and said: "Did you know? I dreamed that Zhao Jun's Jianghuai troops did not attack Xiangyang from land and water, but attacked Hanzhong from Shangyong, cutting off His Majesty's way to Shu."

    "It's impossible!" Zhang Zhenzhou said doubtfully.  "Zhao Jun has been training the navy in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for two years and built countless warships. If they don't march westward to Jingxiang, will these warships be built in vain soon?"

    Li Jing shook his head, looked at the river and said: "Do you remember? Back then, Zhong Hui built a large number of ships downstream to pretend to attack Wu. The state of Wu did not dare to help Shu to protect itself, but Zhong Hui used the dry road to attack Shu. This is  This is ancient wisdom, Li Chongjiu is familiar with military books, how could he not know it?"

    When Zhang Zhenzhou heard what Li Jing said, he was suddenly sweating and said: "Listening to what the manager said, it is indeed possible. If this is the case, Chang'an will be in danger."

    Li Jing said seriously: "Yes, if this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will immediately write a letter to Your Majesty, reporting this matter so that he can take precautions in advance."

    Inside Chang'an City.

    Pedestrians are in a hurry, people close their doors every day, most of the shopping malls are closed, and the few that are open are unpopular.  But on the same street, the rice shop and the pawn shop were extremely prosperous, with crowds of people at the door, revealing a somewhat chaotic scene.

    In front of Chang'an Mansion, hundreds of people gathered. The county magistrate had just posted a notice saying that this year's public debt would be postponed for three months.

    After hearing the news, the people picked up stones and threw them at the notice board.  After smashing the notice board, the people began to throw stones at the stone lions in front of the county government office. It turned out that the government officials who were showing off their power in the city went out to stop them, but they were beaten back by a burst of stones from the people.

    It was not until the officers and soldiers came and arrested dozens of people that the county government office became quiet.  Chang'an is calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging inside. If it weren't for the soldiers on the streets maintaining order, the city of Chang'an would have been in chaos.

    In the Wuji Palace in the north of the city, the atmosphere was solemn.  For the first time since he ascended the throne, Li Shimin announced the suspension of the morning court to allow ministers to wait for a while.bring.  The ministers of the previous court retreated from the court hall to the corridor, and they were all talking about it.

    "Your Majesty, the suspension of the court this time seems to be due to the large-scale mobilization of Zhao Jun!"

    "You heard it too."

    "Did Zhao Jun really fight?"

    "I can't believe it. After Li Chongjiu destroyed the Turks, he could have gone all out to attack the Tang Dynasty, but he endured it for a full year. After building up his troops, this time it may be a thunderous blow!"

    "Ten years of education, ten years of gathering, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu. I'm afraid Li Chongjiu has been waiting for this day for a long time. He plans his troops and then moves. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to resist this time."

    At this time, the main hall suddenly opened, and a minister came out proudly. Everyone saw that it was Changsun Wuji, the emperor's confidant.  Changsun Wuji walked up to the ministers and said: "My ministers, ministers, I want to announce good news to you. Just last night, my majesty reached an agreement with the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom. The Tubo Kingdom has reached an agreement with the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom.  We and the Tang Dynasty have formed an alliance. If Zhao dares to lead his army to invade Hexi, then Tubo will, as an ally of the Tang Dynasty, send troops to Hexi and fight against Zhao together with us."

    Hearing the news, the ministers in the corridor were silent for a while. At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live your Majesty!"

    Following Fang Xuanling, the ministers belonging to the King of Qin's party also cheered.

    Changsun Wuji said proudly: "We, the Tang Dynasty, are the seat of orthodoxy. Even the Zhao State, a country that has conquered other countries, dares to dream of stealing artifacts. It is simply a dream! Don't be intimidated by the Zhao people's momentum. The final victory must be on our side.  .¡±

    Gyeongju Prefecture.

    The front door of the mansion was suddenly opened by someone, who shouted with a loud voice: "Captain, Governor, this is a big deal!"

    This man was kneeling under the dripping eaves, while in the hall a man wearing the uniform of a Tang military general was sitting quietly on a chair to rest his mind. This man was Duan Decao, the governor of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty and a close confidant of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince.

    Duan Decao slowly opened his eyes and said with a tired tone: "If anything will be fine now, just tell me slowly. I am tall, if the sky falls, I will bear it first!"

    "Yes, yes," the man heard Duan Decao's relief, took a breath and said slowly, "Zhao Jun has given us an ultimatum. He wants us to surrender immediately, otherwise not a single tile of Qingzhou City will be left as soon as the army arrives."

    Duan Decao said: "There is no room for change in their tone?"

    "Yes, Master Liang told me personally that this thief's wings have hardened since he surrendered to Zhao State. In the past, I didn't even bother to look at Master Liang, but over there at Hengshan, there is a large army of Zhao State.  Yunji, I went there and saw their military appearance. There were so many people and horses that I couldn't even count them. I think Zhao Guo is really going to take action this time. Governor, the prince is not here anyway, that bastard Li Shimin  Not human beings, why don¡¯t we surrender the Zhao army, march into Chang¡¯an together, and then kill Li Shimin to avenge the prince!¡±

    Duan Decao stood up after hearing this. He shook his head and spoke slowly but firmly: "No, I am not Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang. Although I am not loyal to the thief Li Shimin, I, Duan Decao, am a minister of the Tang Dynasty.  It was His Highness the Crown Prince who promoted me, otherwise I, Duan Decao, would still be a groom today."

    "So I will neither surrender to Li Shimin nor to Zhao. I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. I want to guard the city of Qingzhou for the prince."

    "Captain, why are you doing this? This is just trying to block the car. We don't want to do this thankless job!"

    Duan Decao smiled bitterly and said: "There are enough rebellious officials and traitors in the world, so let me be a loyal and righteous man. Just answer Liang Shidu like this, this thief surrendered to the Turks and is not worthy of taking my Duan Decao's head."  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
