Now that the Sui Dynasty is in turmoil, Fan Zigai is very optimistic about Duke Wu, so he has always had great goodwill. He really doesn't want Duke Wu to eventually embark on the road of "conquering the master with great achievements" and either die or rebel!
Just like Yang Su, King of Yue...
Among the nine kings of the Sui Dynasty, who is not the pillar of the Sui Empire? They have made great achievements and made outstanding achievements.
Nowadays, it is death and seclusion, which may not be without great merit.
King Yang Su of Yue, who was once known as the most famous general of the Sui Dynasty, first faked his death, then raised an army to rebel, and was finally killed by Duke Wu in Ji County, which is depressing!
Everyone around Fan Zigai was silent. Whether it was Fan Zigai or Wu Guogong, it was not something they could discuss easily. It was best to remain silent.
What everyone has to admit is that as soon as Wu Guogong shouted the command "surrender without killing", the resistance of the rebels dropped significantly. More and more rebels abandoned their weapons and surrendered, making the scale of victory quickly tilt towards the Sui side.
When Duke Wu led the military guards to the foot of the east city wall, the number of people who surrendered increased sharply. They still stayed at the foot of the wall, waiting for those who left through the ladder, and they basically chose to surrender.
If you don't surrender, you will die!
Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans!
"withdraw!"
Seeing that some Sui troops began to land on the wall ladder and continue to pursue the rebels, Wu Xin weighed it and gave the order rationally.
Now the wall ladder is crowded with rebels. Although the rebels at the top of the wall have not been indiscriminately bombarding them to prevent the Sui army from climbing. However, when enough Sui troops climb the ladder, the rebels will definitely counterattack, and then the Sui army will lose a lot of money.
Big.
Anyway, Wu Xin himself couldn't bear to let the silver-armored guards climb the wall and ladder, so he could only stop when enough was enough and ordered the withdrawal!
"When, when, when..."
The clear and melodious sound of golden gongs echoed through Huairen City and lingered over the bloody battlefield.
The Sui army, which was densely packed in Huairen City, retreated like a tide, leaving corpses and blood everywhere. They also took away countless prisoners.
The once prosperous Huairen City turned into a bloody ruin after this bloody battle.
The number of soldiers killed by both sides in the small Huairen City exceeded 500,000. The bloody battles took place everywhere. The buildings basically collapsed, and the beacon fire burned through half of the city. The corpses were piled on top of each other, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
¤♂¤♂, the tide-like Sui army pressed down hundreds of thousands of prisoners. With the joy and pride of the victor, they returned to the other side of Huairen City and were greeted by countless cheers and praises.
Suddenly, the cheers, praises and noisy atmosphere suddenly stopped, and they all looked at the back of the team, with expressions full of fear, admiration and joy...
The leader is the Duke of Wu, who is riding a golden lion and has disheveled hair and silk robes. He is wrapped in thick blood mist. He does not appear to be in a state of desolation and embarrassment, but rather has an oppressive power. This is the true general who has returned from hundreds of battles!
Behind Duke Wu, there are more than a thousand Wufu worshipers and guards in different costumes, basically covered in blood and turned into bloody men.
At the very end were the silver-armored military guards lined up in neat rows. The bright silver in their blood was as dazzling as the sun.
It was this group of troops with silver helmets who changed the entire situation of the war and reversed the outcome of the battlefield.
Now, the silver helmets and armor of this group of troops have basically turned into blood armor, covered with dust and debris, and covered with various traces of fierce battles. In this way, the bright silver that is occasionally exposed becomes even more dazzling!
This is the glory of these elite soldiers in silver helmets!
"Lord!"
When Wu Xin and others returned, Li Shimin was one step ahead of Fan Zigai, Eunuch Li and others. He was nervous, ashamed and excited and shouted inexplicably.
Perhaps, this is the most sincere time that Li Shimin has called "Lord", and it is a title from the heart.
Wu Xin and others are taking responsibility for his mistakes by acting like this!
"Wu Guogong!"
"Lord, stay behind!"
Fan Zigai, Eunuch Li, Cai Yan, Li Yuan and others all came forward to greet him respectfully and politely, not because of anything else, but because Duke Wu turned the tide of the battle with his blood. This is enough to be respected by everyone!
At this time, Li Yuan, who was in charge of all underground affairs, had withdrawn and brought out many great monks and Qi refining experts. He also transferred everyone from Li Tang over, especially Li Yuanba and Li Tang's cavalry. In addition, the Miyagi Forbidden Army
This is also one of the main reasons for the withdrawal of the rebel troops, and it is not just because of the silver-armored military guards.
However, with Zhuyu at the forefront, everyone subconsciously ignored those indirect factors!
After fighting for a long time, Wu Xin, who was quite exhausted, forced himself to nod to everyone and asked in a slightly hoarse voice:
"How is the situation? How is the arrangement? If the enemy attacks again, it will definitely be extremely violent. The other three enemy forces are coming soon. There is absolutely no room for loss at this time! If we lose another wall, it will be difficult to save the Eastern Capital!"
Li Shimin's face turned red, nervous and embarrassed, uneasy and ashamed.
The battle ended with a great victory for the Sui Dynasty.
However, the price for both sides is very heavy. It is really a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred losses to oneself.
Looking at the east city wall, the number of Sui soldiers killed in battle was as high as about 240,000. The number of civilians who were affected and died was also over 200,000. The details have not been checked yet, which is a real heavy casualty.
In the Huairen battlefield alone, more than 100,000 Sui troops died.
Even the 10,000 silver-armored military guards, more than a thousand people died in the battle. There were also five Wufu priests (big monks), and more than 200 Wufu guards died in the battle.
Of course, the enemy's price was even higher. In the early stage, they used 100,000 rebel troops to confuse the Sui army. Later, when they attacked the city, they also killed about 50,000 to 100,000 people. Later, when they attacked the city, they also killed about 100,000 people intermittently.
The most tragic battlefield was the Huairen battlefield, because it faced the East City Gate and was the main battlefield in Dongcheng District. The enemy invested up to 600,000 to 700,000 troops, but in the end, only one of them successfully retreated.
Overall, the number of enemy soldiers killed was approximately 700,000, three times that of the Sui army!
"Ahem! Ahem! Let me tell you, the Lord Left Behind, that all the underground matters have been resolved. I used the remains of the temple to block all the passages. Later, I mobilized some molten iron for watering, and left a person who is good at listening to the earth to test. It should not be
There will be problems again!”
Li Yuan couldn't bear to see his son in embarrassment and was afraid of being punished. He coughed several times and took the initiative to answer. After a pause, he quickly added:
"Everything under the ground has been registered and sent to the government office. Please keep an eye on it, sir!"
Generally speaking, such a huge amount of treasure should be sent to the palace city and handed over to His Highness the King of Yue.
Li Yuan did this, obviously to please Wu Xin.
In addition, Li Yuan's title is the same as that of Wu Xin, but his official position is several levels higher. Although he is respectfully called "Lord Left Behind", he does not call himself a subordinate. Li Yuan is not that shameless!
Wu Xin thought for a while, pretending to be tired and handed over his hands and begged: "Well! Mr. Mingji, Master Shangshu and Eunuch Li can go and check this matter together. I am overdrawn in this battle and I am tired, so I am temporarily lazy!"
"Well……"
Everyone was startled. This move by Tang Guogong Li Yuan was obviously to please Wu Guogong and give Wu Guogong an opportunity to enrich himself and make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, Duke Wu, who was always known for being greedy, lustful, murderous and arrogant, would refuse such fat meat.
However, looking at how Duke Wu and the silver-armored guards looked now, everyone felt a little relieved, and guessed that Duke Wu wanted to avoid suspicion, otherwise they would not be so tired and would not even have the time and energy to "get money".
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
There are hundreds of people with different attitudes, and no one is perfect. No matter how greedy, lustful, murderous and arrogant Wu Guogong is, he must be unambiguous in business matters and that is enough!
"We really shouldn't trouble Duke Wu with our duties and trivial matters! We will live up to Duke Wu's expectations. Duke Wu can rest in peace to prevent the enemy!"
Fan Zigai's mind changed and he responded repeatedly, but looked at Eunuch Li vaguely, a little sad and bitter.
Duke Wu can go and get it without his lord, but His Highness the King of Yue cannot refuse to give it, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the King of Yue, and the Eastern Capital still has to rely on Duke Wu. But how to give it and how much to give is a headache!
"Well! Then I will temporarily retire. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible!"
Wu Xin responded and solemnly warned: "Besides, remember to guard the east city wall. This is the top priority! Also, urgently ask for help from the imperial court and urge reinforcements from all walks of life to speed up..."
What everyone doesn't know is that Wu Xin is also eager to leave here to sort out the treasures, but he is just sorting out his own treasures.
According to Wu Xin's estimation, the treasures in his "Fire Control God's Order" may be much less than what Li Yuan handed over, but they are more valuable. They are the true essence of the Emperor Beast Temple!
"Mr. Wu, please go slowly. Don't worry here. If the situation is like this and we can't stop the rebels, we should die to apologize!"
Li Yuan patted his chest and assured, and glanced at his son Li Shimin.
The benefits just given must be repaid immediately by Wu Xin!
Li Yuan risked offending the king of Yue, Yang Tong, and the court's Fengxian, and sent the treasure to the government office to indirectly please Wu Xin. The most important thing was to forgive his son Li Shimin for his dereliction of duty.
Wu Xin thought for a while and responded readily: "Dongcheng District is personally responsible for the affairs of the Dongcheng District, and is assisted by General Cai Yan, Monk Zhang Sunxuan, etc. General Li Shimin and Li are responsible for the people's livelihood affairs of the entire Dongdu. Tang Guogong, Marquis Jianzhong and others
assist!"
Li Shimin's face darkened. With this arrangement, Duke Wu obviously did not trust his ability. He was directly transformed from a commander in charge of military affairs to a civilian responsible for people's livelihood!
"Thank you, sir!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he thanked him happily, while he kept winking secretly at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is young at heart and a little depressed. In Li Yuan's view, how is this a punishment? It is simply a promotion!
In the past, Li Shimin was only in charge of Dongcheng District. Although he was in charge of the military and political affairs, he faced the main anti-military forces and Yang Xuangan. Now, although he is responsible for people's livelihood and civil affairs, he faces the entire Dongdu. He has greater power and is not in danger!
"Everyone has his own strengths, don't think too much!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and was about to say thank you, but Wu Xin patted Li Shimin's shoulder and comforted him. Before Li Shimin could respond, he waved everyone away.
In fact, the fall of the East Wall had nothing to do with Li Shimin's military capabilities. Wu Xin or anyone else would not have been able to defend it.
Wu Xin's arrangement was to subconsciously mislead everyone's thinking and secretly characterize Li Shimin.
Of course, Li Shimin himself is indeed very suitable for people's livelihood politics. Considering the chaos and bloodshed of the previous war, Li Shimin was able to evacuate the people in the eight cities outside the East City Wall in time and calm the emotions of the people. His ability was truly incredible and extraordinary.
This is Li Shimin’s genius talent... Anmin!
