The remaining troops in Tanzhou have been assembled and are waiting for the news to come out before they attack.
"There are two places in Chenzhou that must be captured. One is Lin'an, which is the core of Chenzhou.
After taking Lin'an, Chenzhou became a headless snake.
The second is Taiping. Yang Xuan has been running Taiping for many years. There are countless supplies in the city, and there are many workshops and craftsmen. Winning Taiping will be of great benefit to our Tanzhou!"
Staff officer Kanazawa pointed at the map and calmly analyzed the situation.
He Lianrong said, "Having said a lot, it still depends on the situation on Xiao Manyan's side."
Jin Ze smiled, "I assert that Yang Xuan will lose in this battle for two reasons.
First, Zhang Zhuo and Chenzhou's army were fierce and attacked for several days. The Tiger Control Division must have suffered heavy casualties.
After this battle, it will take several years for the Yuhu Division to recover, but Yang Xuan will not give him a few years. At most, he will launch another attack next year. By then, Zhang Zhuo will be vulnerable.
Therefore, I thought that Zhang Zhuo would cling to Chen Zhoujun and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Secondly, Xiao Manyan's invasion was like a fire, so reinforcements from him along the way would have to be rushed and appear at an unexpected time for Yang Xuan.
Zhang Zhuo is holding Chen Zhoujun back, and Xiao Manyan is attacking fiercely. If Yang Xuan is undefeated, I..."
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." He Lianrong relaxed and stretched his neck.
The door opens.
No movement.
Um!
Kanazawa looked up.
Then, he opened his mouth with a look of shock.
"What's the matter?"
He Lianrong turned around.
The embarrassed Xiao Manyan stood outside the door.
Kneel down.
"Your Majesty, you are defeated!"
…
The spring in Taoxian County is getting warmer, and Huang Chunhui also leaves the duty room and paces slowly in the courtyard.
“The weather is pleasant!”
He looked up at the sky, "When people get old, they will cherish every moment, but if they are not careful, they will become greedy... I wish I could see everything in this world. Being greedy is the beginning of troubles."
Liu Qing stood under the tree, leaning on the trunk, enjoying the spring scenery very comfortably, "My husband is still in his prime years, so why talk about old age? Besides, those old people are basking in the sun and thinking about the north.
Major events in Xinjiang..."
"That's fear and despair." Huang Chunhui stretched out his hand to pull down the drooping branches and gently sniffed the young leaves on the branches. "They are afraid of death and feel that there are not many days left, so they recall the past every day. In the past,
Seeking youth in memories, seeking the taste of life...
In fact, if you think about it the other way around, aren’t you younger every day you live?”
"My husband's words are very true." Liu Qing himself understood it deeply, "If you have something to do, you won't feel old."
"That makes sense!"
After the gossip ended, Huang Chunhui asked: "Is there any news from Lin'an?"
Liu Qing shook his head, "Zitai sent a message once before departure, but there was no news again. But it's still early."
"Well! It's still early." Huang Chunhui said.
A clerk came from the front yard and said, "Ms. sir, someone from the Ministry of War is here."
"Too many things!"
Huang Chunhui finished his walk and returned to the lobby.
The man from the Ministry of War was a seventh-grade officer.
A seventh-grade official was nothing in the Tang Dynasty, but when this seventh-grade official was given the status of a representative, he had the prestige of a higher-ranking official.
However, Wei Feng didn't dare to attack Huang Chunhui.
The official said politely: "I have been ordered to come to Northern Xinjiang. There are orders from above for this trip..."
Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids and remained motionless.
The official said: "There is news from the mirror. Since last year, the Northern Liao Dynasty has been working hard to conquer the south. Therefore, everyone in Northern Xinjiang should be cautious and not attack easily."
This is cooking cold rice!
The same words he said last time were directly pushed back by Huang Chunhui. Because of this, the relationship between Chang'an and Beijiang was almost at a standstill.
But someone from the Ministry of War came again and mentioned this matter again. What does this mean?
Liao Jin narrowed his eyes, "There is no reason to be closed off!"
There is a hidden meaning in these words: Chang'an doesn't understand shit, so don't point fingers at Northern Xinjiang.
But why is the Ministry of War making such a fuss?
Who ordered this person to come?
Emperor, impossible!
The emperor was overthrown by Huang Chunhui last time. Taking the initiative to surrender would cause great damage to his prestige.
Zhang Huan, Minister of the Ministry of War?
Zhang Huan knows soldiers well and would not be so foolish as to say such things.
Then, the origin of this person is worthy of discussion.
Liao Jin thought of two people, Yang Songcheng and Liang Jing.
After the stalemate between the emperor and Northern Xinjiang, some people went to court and said that there was a risk of rebellion in Northern Xinjiang.
This memorial was jointly criticized by important ministers, and the momentum was not small.
This is clearly an attempt to gain the upper hand in public opinion.
But Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang have to relax, right?
Those two people are the ones who can take the initiative to do this for the emperor.
Yang Songcheng wanted to push the King of Yue into the East Palace. If Northern Xinjiang strongly opposed it, this would be a hidden danger.
Liang Jing, the emperor's favorite, was good at observing people's opinions and knew that Northern Xinjiang was a concern for the emperor, so he took action to ease the relationship.
The official smiled and said: "The war situation in Northern Xinjiang is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"
This was a bit of a rogue statement, and Liao Jin said calmly: "The war is so dangerous, how can we talk about victory or defeat lightly? We who defend the country and guard the borders can only serve the country with all our strength."
The official's attitude was very good, "Bei Liao is powerful, so it is always better to be cautious."
This attitude is very relaxed.
If the Northern Xinjiang side adopts a conciliatory attitude and the two sides continue to reconcile, it is possible that the relationship will continue to recover just like this spring.
Liao Jin glanced at Huang Chunhui.
It was Huang Chunhui who caused the matter, and only Huang Chunhui could make the decision.
Huang Chunhui coughed dryly.
The official was overjoyed.
"Ms. sir."
Zhang Du asked to see him.
"What's the matter?"
Huang Chunhui changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
At his age, he won't force himself for anything. If it feels good, then just do it.
Zhang Du looked happy and said, "Ms. sir, the envoy from Lin'an is here."
"Oh! Let him in."
A team was coming in. After saluting, they said: "Your Majesty ordered me to come and report to your husband that half a month ago, our army attacked the Yuhu Department..."
The messenger's face gradually turned pale.
The general just said to be cautious, so you attack the grassland. It's so outrageous!
"The Tiger Control Department is struggling to support..."
Liao Jin nodded slightly and whispered to Liu Qing: "The Tiger Control Department is powerful."
Liu Qing nodded, "Zhang Zhuo once said boldly that he could conquer an area with just the Tiger Control Division."
"On the fourth day, I left my camp empty, silenced all flags and drums, and rushed to the place where the reinforcements must pass through in Tanzhou..."
"Um!"
Huang Chunhui, who was thinking about this battle, raised his head, his eyes flashing, "Is he going to call for reinforcements?"
The team was saying: "Three thousand forward reinforcements were spared, and then Tanzhou General Xiao Manyan arrived with ten thousand troops. Shijun led his army to ambush and defeated the enemy in one battle. He beheaded more than three thousand and captured more than two thousand... Mr. Xianggong, this is
A great victory!"
I just said to be cautious... The official's face turned red and he said, "I'll take my leave!"
He hurried out, and the entourage waiting outside asked: "What's the answer here?"
The official said angrily: "I'm just going to be cautious, Lin'an will send someone to report the victory."
"Victory?" the attendant said, "I didn't hear the shouting!"
When you report victory, you have to shout and go through the market with swagger.
"Not shouting is humiliating!" The official gritted his teeth and said: "Not shouting is just being cautious, for fear of offending Chang'an. But think about it, a large tribe was wiped out in Northern Xinjiang, but they dare not celebrate openly... What will happen to outsiders if word spreads?
think?"
"Chang'an suppresses Northern Xinjiang!"
"Damn it! Damn it!" The official became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, "I am just asking for humiliation by doing this!"
The attendant asked: "Which tribe was destroyed?"
"Tiger Control Department!"
"Tsk! Isn't that the most powerful of the three major movies? It was destroyed? Whose handiwork?"
"Yang Xuan!"
"this……"
"During the Southern Expedition, he commanded Ruoding, and this time he destroyed the Tiger Control Division, which smeared gold dust on his title of famous general. Damn it! Also, Tanzhou sent more than 10,000 troops, but he set up an ambush and defeated them."
The entourage stopped and said in disbelief: "This...he actually defeated the Tanzhou Northern Liao Army?"
Datang has been at a disadvantage against Northern Liao in recent years, and its only impressive result was the last time Huang Chunhui led the army to defeat Lin Ya. But after the war, the Northern Xinjiang army retreated into the city.
So some people say that the Northern Xinjiang Army's battle was a fluke, otherwise why wouldn't they dare to attack again?
Now, they attack.
The more than ten thousand troops of the Northern Liao Dynasty were a force that could not be underestimated anywhere, but they were destroyed by a Tang governor. When the news spread to Chang'an, it was feared that it would cause a sensation.
"Go back to Chang'an!"
The messenger returned, and in the lobby, the team was explaining the battle in detail.
"...The envoy said that the Yuhu Division can be destroyed at any time, but the biggest enemy in Northern Xinjiang is still Northern Liao. The Northern Liao cavalry is famous. Although our Northern Xinjiang soldiers are not afraid, I am still a little nervous. Therefore, use it.
Let’s fight to destroy the morale of Northern Liao and boost the prestige of Northern Xinjiang!”
"So, he is fighting this battle just for the sake of the Tanzhou Army?" Liu Qing asked.
"yes!"
"Controlling the tiger troops, withered ears in the grave! What a spirit!" Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "I am even more happy that he did not limit his expedition to Chenzhou. The general's mind determines his future."
Only those who have the world in mind can enter the temple.
Liao Jin said: "He laid out this battle well, planned deeply, attacked like fire, and moved like lightning. It can be called a classic battle."
Little brat, you have really grown up... Liu Qing stroked his beard and smiled, but he was a little bit sad. The young man who came to him with saliva and begged for dried meat was gone.
He got up and walked out of the lobby.
People who feel the spring breeze are a little tipsy.
That young man became an indomitable hero!
Old man!
Old!
…
The spring in northern Xinjiang still has a hint of chill, but the people of Chang'an have put on thin clothes.
In the palace, the emperor and his concubine had just finished a song together.
The imperial concubine is intolerant to heat and is dressed in thin clothing. Her skin is looming, making her even more attractive.
Han Shitou came in with someone, "Your Majesty, the King of Yue sent people to deliver gifts."
The imperial concubine stood up and left.
The emperor nodded.
As an emperor, the emperor has no shortage of rare treasures, but the King of Yue is very considerate in giving gifts. For example, he gave a rhinoceros last time, which made the emperor happy for several days.
The gift list was delivered to the emperor's hands.
"Tortle dragon?"
The emperor looked up.
After giving the gift, Zhao Dongping, who was brought back to Chang'an to discuss the situation with Yang Songcheng and others, said, "Your Majesty, the dragon is a thing from overseas. This thing is huge and fierce..."
"have a look!"
The emperor stood up and said, "Let the noble concubine come too."
The dragon was locked in a cage and looked lazy.
"So fierce!" The imperial concubine approached the emperor, "She looks so cold."
Zhao Dongping smiled and said, "I'd like to teach you that this dragon is cold and cold. It usually shrinks and doesn't move, like a stone."
"Really?" The imperial concubine opened her mouth, surprised.
The red lips and tongue made Zhao Dongping's heart tremble, and he lowered his eyes slightly without any trace.
"yes."
"Is this thing fierce?"
The emperor asked: "How about fighting with others?"
Zhao Dongping said: "If you are an ordinary person, you can die with one blow. If you are an ordinary expert, you can boast of being able to escape."
"oh!"
The emperor became more energetic and asked, "Who can fight against this thing?"
Zhao Dongping smiled and said: "The king ordered me to bring a good player from southern Xinjiang. This person can fight against the dragon. I just want your majesty to smile."
"Sanlang is filial." The emperor nodded.
A short and stocky foreigner entered the palace.
"I have met His Majesty!"
"Where?" Han Shitou asked on behalf of the emperor, while standing in front of the emperor's right side without leaving a trace.
This position ensured that Han Shitou could block the emperor in time when encountering a surprise attack.
Zhao Dongping said: "This man is a foreigner from southern Xinjiang. He was originally bewitched by the rebels, but was later defeated and captured. The king's words made him wake up and he has followed the king since then."
"have a look."
The emperor has no shortage of such experts. As for safety, there are more than ten experts around him who are keeping an eye on Sha Jin.
"Open the cage!"
Zhao Dongping raised his hand.
The door frame of the cage was tied with a kind of concocted vine, and the two followers struggled to untie the vine. Sha Jin walked to the front, and one of the followers asked: "Are you ready?"
Sha Jin nodded coldly, "Open the door!"
The attendant suddenly opened the frame door.
Taolong raised his head and stared at Sha Jin with a pair of protruding eyes.
Sha Jin rushed in, and his two followers quickly closed the door and sealed it again with vines.
The wooden cage was very spacious, and the dragon flicked its tail violently.
Sha Jin avoided it, and the dragon's tail swept hard against the wooden pillar.
Boom!
The whole wooden cage was trembling.
"How scary!"
The dragon's casual blow made the imperial concubine's pretty face turn pale.
Zhao Dongping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam, this wooden cage is made of ironwood, a specialty of the south. It is as strong as fine iron!"
Before he finished speaking, the dragon suddenly jumped forward, and Sha Jin flipped forward. However, the dragon raised its head and opened its mouth, its sharp teeth gleaming.
Sha Jin put one hand on the dragon's forehead and turned it over.
The dragon flicked its tail.
Boom!
The wooden pillar was split in half.
"alert!"
Han Shitou's face was ashen.
More than ten skilled soldiers came over and surrounded the cage.
"Stay away!" The emperor was in a good mood.
Zhao Dongping's spine was wet with sweat, "Your Majesty, I mean..."
The emperor waved his hand and watched with interest as the dragon opened its mouth towards Sha Jin and bit it.
Sha Jin avoided it, and the dragon bit the wooden pillar, swinging it wildly.
Peng!
The wooden pillars were torn apart.
"What a vicious creature!"
The emperor praised.
Sha Jin rushed over and pressed on the back of the dragon's crest. He held the mouth of the dragon with both hands and pressed hard.
The dragon's huge body was swinging, but it couldn't shake off the sand.
Sha Jin released his right hand and hit Shaolong hard on the head.
Boom!
"Are you convinced?"
"Boom!"
"Are you convinced?"
Sha Jin took a deep breath, opened his mouth and shouted, "Kneel down!"
His right fist hit the dragon's crest hard.
The body of the dragon trembled heavily, and its high head dropped to the ground.
Directed at the emperor.
"Long live your Majesty!"
Sha Jin knelt beside him and shouted.
Emperor Long Yan was delighted, "What a vicious creature, what a vicious person! Hahahaha!"
