The Su family's brutal purge was a fire that could not be contained by paper, and it quickly spread throughout the world.

Naturally, it reached Su Cheng's ears.

He was so distraught that he drank heavily every day.

Yao Pu didn't know how to comfort him.

Not to mention, since surrendering, he feels unusually safe.

When he heard that his mentor had been killed, although he was a little sad, it was far less sad than Su Cheng felt now.

Zhao Changqing also learned about this incident, but had no time to comfort him.

He is just a surrendered general, life or death does not matter.

After several days of fighting, Zhao Changqing successfully captured the three counties of Chiqing, Luowu, and Dingdong. He has merged with Jia Xu's tribe who stayed in Yangtong County, and gathered all the troops in Hucheng.

county.

After some discussion, the generals of the Wei army decided to divide their troops into three groups and attack Fengchang County, Heng County and Lincheng County respectively.

At the same time, Zhao Yun's Department and Zhao Changlin's Department have also begun to move closer to Zhao Changqing.

Because the war has been going on now, the capital of the Tang Kingdom is getting closer and closer. If you want to successfully attack the capital, you have to recall the scattered troops, unite them in one place, and attack decisively. Only in this way can you capture the Tang capital with thunderous momentum.

.

The Tang Army is also actively preparing.

Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace.

Early morning.

Li Qing sat on the Canglong chair and watched the battle reports of the past few days attentively. The more he read, the more intense his frown became.

Until the end, he threw the battle report to the ground and cursed: "The defenders from various places have no less than hundreds of thousands of troops, and more than 30 counties and cities have been united together, but they can't resist the enemy's footsteps for two months.

! In less than two months, we have already suffered heavy losses at the front. Tell me, how can we fight this battle?"

Currently, those responsible for dealing with Wei are mainly the Nine Dragons generals.

In the Battle of Niutoushan a few years ago, three Kowloon generals were killed, and one died of old age.

Currently alive are the Kowloon generals led by Zuo Buqun and Wang Yunhe.

The other three Kowloon generals, Ye Xiaochen, Xiao Changhe, and Fang Xin? They all followed him.

Hearing the emperor's angry voice, Zuo Buqun stood up from the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, we have been discussing military affairs. It is almost 100% confirmed that the enemy emperor Zhao Changqing's troops are coming from Xianyang County.

By marching in this direction, we can raise troops, launch an ambush in Xianyang, and fight the enemy."

Li Qingcang has everyone counting on a lot now? He can only count on General Jiulong.

After hearing Zuo Buqun's voice, his anxious expression gradually eased, and he said: "You mean to set up an ambush in Xianyang? Then I ask you, how sure are you that you can win in Xianyang?"

Zuo Buqun glanced at Wang Yunhe and could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, if we can repel the enemy, there is no guarantee, but it can cause heavy losses to the enemy's troops. At present, for the Wei State, the sacrifice of troops is more and more difficult."

If there are too many, they will be less able to take down our Datang."

Li Qingcang understood what he meant.

This approach is nothing more than damaging the Wei army's strength. As long as they cannot replenish new sources of troops, it will be difficult to win the final victory in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the troops who rebelled and surrendered did not count.

Because the troops who rebelled and surrendered often did not sincerely help the Wei army attack Tang because they were from the Tang state or for other reasons.

This is to a great extent.

"Once Xianwu falls, the capital will be in danger. Are you confident that you can defend the capital?"

Li Qingcang is very concerned about this issue.

He knew that the real battlefield, where large-scale conflicts broke out, must be here in the capital.

The goal of the Wei army from beginning to end was to capture the capital first, leaving other states and counties in a dispensable state.

Wang Yunhe interrupted at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will definitely defend the capital. As time goes by, the enemy troops will retreat."

Although he said this, he knew very well in his heart that it was estimated that the capital city could not be defended. However, the capital city could be used as a place to consume the Wei army's troops. It was nothing more than a capital city. After it was captured by the enemy, he would slowly

Slowly retreat to the south and consume the enemy's strength while fighting. Over time, the enemy will definitely defeat itself.

This is currently the most effective method.

Camp every step of the way and resist every step of the way.

Li Qingcang stroked his forehead and felt a headache: "How is the organization of King Qin's army in the south going?"

Wang Yunhe clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, we have organized an army of 500,000 troops and are on their way to the capital. After that, various important southern towns should be able to prepare hundreds of thousands more troops."

Not counting the two million troops recruited by the Tang State before, even judging from the troops recruited from the entire south this time, the Tang Dynasty was almost unable to make ends meet.

Fighting is a very expensive thing.

But now that Tang was suffering from domestic and foreign troubles, it was obvious that there was little money left.

After retreating from the court, after discussion among the soldiers, it was decided to let Ye Xiaochen and Fang Xin lead an army of 150,000 men each to prepare an ambush in Xianyang County.

Of course, Wei Jun didn't know about all this.

After Zhao Changqing broke through several counties one after another, the army finally attacked Xianyang County.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Zhao Changlin also responded one after another.

But what Zhao Changqing didn't expect was that he encountered an ambush on the way to Xianyang.

The officers and soldiers of the two armies were fighting together. Because the enemy had already planned, Zhao Changqing suffered some unnecessary losses.

But now that the matter has come to this point, there is no use talking about it anymore.

Zhao Changqing prepared to withdraw his troops first.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he left, the enemy army also left behind, it was Ye Xiaochen's army.

Zhuge Liang said: "This Ye Xiaochen can be regarded as our old opponent. Most of his troops are archers and crossbowmen. They can only fight at a distance, not at close range. After ambushing us here this time, he will definitely not stay far for fear of being attacked."

Our army counterattacked."

Zhao Changqing laughed and said: "It seems that the Tang army was really afraid of being beaten by our army. They clearly had the advantage, but after winning a trivial battle, they withdrew in time and did not dare to go deep. Such an army is already

If you are too cautious, you lose your military spirit and you are already vulnerable."

Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and said, "What your Majesty said makes sense. I just learned from the intelligence obtained by the scouts that Ye Xiaochen's troops have withdrawn to the north city of Xianyang County."

"Beicheng? Haven't entered the city yet?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Zhao Changqing realized the problem, "Which army attacked Beicheng?"

Qi Jiguang thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be King Changlin's army."

Zhao Changqing thought deeply: "They will definitely ambush there. We were ambushed this time because we felt that we were invincible here in the Tang Army, and they took advantage of our army's arrogance to deal with us. Send people immediately

Tell Zhao Changlin and Zhao Yun to set up camp a hundred miles outside Xianyang City and not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly."
