After resting for a few days, the army attacked Funing County.

It only took seven days to capture Funing County, which was said to have 200,000 defenders.

General Fang Xin fled in despair.

Zhao Changqing felt that capturing Funing was unusual and unreasonable. He discussed the matter with Zhuge Liang and others, but they all felt that there was no big problem.

evening.

Zhao Changqing hosted a banquet for the three armies.

All the officers and men are extremely drunk.

They knew that if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to drink more, they would be afraid that there would be no chance in the future.

Because, ahead is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Once a war starts, it will be a life-and-death fight. There will no longer be any days of entertainment. The greatest possibility is to die in this battle, so take advantage of this time.

Opportunity, drink as much as you can!

Zhao Changqing only stayed with them for a while, then left and came to the top of the city.

He was looking at the Tang capital not far away.

Zhuge Liang was good at observing details. After seeing the emperor leaving quietly, he stood up and left, following closely behind the emperor.

After arriving at the top of the city, Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to relax with the soldiers?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "I'm afraid if I stay there, they won't feel relaxed and happy."

Zhuge Liang smiled and agreed: "That's right. After all, they are all ministers loyal to His Majesty. They will feel a little reluctant to let go of His Majesty's presence."

Zhao Changqing asked curiously: "What about you? Why don't you go drink and come here to follow me?"

Zhuge Liang bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Seeing that Your Majesty is here alone, he seems to have something on his mind, so I wanted to come and talk to Your Majesty."

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "No one in the civil and military dynasties can be as good as you, Zhuge Liang, in terms of understanding people's hearts."

Zhuge Liang asked: "Now, your Majesty, can you tell me what you are worried about?"

Zhao Changqing said: "In a few days, we will attack the capital of the Tang Dynasty. I can't help but feel a little dazed. When I set out for the expedition, I never thought that we could attack the capital of the Tang Dynasty so quickly. When I first became emperor,

I never dared to think that one day I would be able to compete with the Tang State."

The Wei State at that time was indeed very weak.

So weak that in terms of comprehensive national strength, even Chu is twice as powerful as Wei.

But in just a few years, Wei State became so powerful that it owned three-fifths of the world's land.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

The people surrendered.

All of this was something that Zhao Changqing couldn't even imagine.

Even after receiving a task issued by the system? Zhao Changqing never thought about how far he was from the day when he would dominate the world.

But now? This step? It's just a stone's throw away.

Zhuge Liang said: "Attacking the Tang capital is bound to be a life and death battle? But, Your Majesty, even if we capture the Tang capital, there are still two-thirds of the territory of the Tang state waiting for us to capture. The only way is to destroy the Tang state?"

When we reach the last city and county, it is not too late for Your Majesty to sigh."

Zhao Changqing said: "Perhaps there have been too many victorious battles? I always feel that as long as the Tang capital is captured, the entire Tang country will be in the bag."

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty is right. This battle in the capital of the Tang Dynasty will actually be the last battle involving millions of people that we will fight on the land of the Tang Dynasty. After this battle, the Tang Dynasty will never be able to fight again."

We don’t have the strength to launch such a war.”

Zhao Changqing said sadly: "I remember that ten years ago, the Tang State already had nearly two million troops. At that time, the Tang State definitely had the power to sweep the world. Unfortunately, Li Qingcang did not grasp it. The following figures

During this year, I Pingliang and Duan Er Kingdom have reached the peak of their national strength, and finally have the strength to confront the Tang Kingdom head-on. Unfortunately, we suffered some losses in the battle of Niutoushan, but fortunately, we are still the final winners."

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty is saying that because Li Qingcang's defense has given us the opportunity to develop and grow?"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Actually, after the Battle of Niutoushan, Li Qingcang still had the strength to defeat our Wei State. Unfortunately, he was still not sure. During the Battle of Niutoushan, all our troops,

Almost all of them have been assembled, but what about the Tang State? There are still 700,000 to 800,000 troops idle in the country. If at that time, Li Qingcang goes to war personally at all costs, it is estimated that our vitality will be severely damaged in the battle of Niutoushan.

He missed too many opportunities, not just this one."

Zhuge Liang strongly agreed: "Back then, all the countries jointly sanctioned our Wei State. At that time, our Wei State was at its weakest. Unfortunately, Li Qingcang still failed to make up his mind to use Duan Dao to attack our country. Otherwise, the Tang State would also

It will not lead to the changes we have today.”

Zhao Changqing stretched out his finger and shook it up and down a few times, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Tang Guo missed many opportunities. It was obviously a good situation, but it was all messed up by Li Qingcang. If I had the foundation of Tang Guo back then,

, I guess they have already unified the world.”

Zhuge Liang laughed.

Tonight, many people are destined to be sleepless.

Li Qingcang is one of them.

In the imperial study room of the Tang Dynasty palace, Li Qingcang was talking with a minister all night long.

This minister is none other than Wang Yunhe, one of the Nine Dragons generals.

Li Qingcang was lying on the recliner. For some reason, he looked a little embarrassed at the moment. Even in his hair, there were a few more strands of white hair clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Fang Xin is a member of your Jiulong General. As the commander-in-chief of the country's military forces, how do you deal with the fact that he abandoned Funing County?" Li Qingcang closed his eyes and shook the recliner.

Wang Yunhe frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it is now the time to hire people. Although General Fang Xin has made mistakes, he cannot withstand the enemy's momentum, which is as fierce as a tiger. They have many masters. When they attacked the city, there were only land gods who invested in it.

There are more than a dozen of them, and it is really difficult for General Fang Xin to resist. Moreover, when General Fang was asked to defend Funing County, he never thought that Funing County could be defended."

Li Qingcang snorted coldly: "In the battle of Xianyang County, I sent all the masters of the land gods in the Tang Kingdom to you, General Jiulong, but what was the result? None of the more than twenty land gods survived. Now you are

, but there are too many land gods and masters who blame Wei Jun?"

Wang Yunhe clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty should be very clear about the defeat in the previous battle. You cannot blame me entirely."

After hearing what he said, Li Qingcang frowned, stood up from the recliner, and stared at Wang Yunhe.

He, on the other hand, looked at the emperor with his hands clasped in fists.

After a while.

The Emperor of Tang retracted his gaze and said, "In your opinion, how should we fight to protect the capital?"

Wang Yunhe said: "The general is incompetent and can only fight to the death."

"Fight to the death?"

Li Qingcang felt bad.

I don’t have the confidence to fight against the Wei army!

Wang Yunhe said firmly: "Only in this way can we have a chance of survival. Your Majesty can just stay in the palace. As for the war outside, Your Majesty does not need to worry about it."

He was a bit overshadowed.

But there is nothing we can do.

Only in this way can the morale of the military be unified.

Li Qingcang was a little surprised when he heard this.

Wang Yunhe said: "Your Majesty, it is already getting late. I will leave first."

After saying that, he left the imperial study room without mercy.

After he left for a while, Li Qingcang overturned the entire table in front of him, and then knocked down the vase shelf next to him. Not satisfied with this, he tore the curtains in the entire room to pieces.

The eunuchs and maids around him didn't dare to stop him, and they all remained silent.

After a long time, Li Qingcang cursed angrily: "Traitor! Traitor! With the national crisis at the forefront, our ambitions have been exposed! Huh! Sooner or later, I will kill all of you Nine Dragons generals!"

At this moment, he didn't know yet.

The entire palace, with three floors inside and three floors outside, was surrounded by soldiers.
Chapter completed!
