Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh father and daughter's persistence
At noon the next day.
The reinforcements of the Sui Dynasty, which were originally scheduled to arrive as soon as possible, did not arrive. Instead, Wu Xin and others got the information that the reinforcements of the Sui Dynasty were withdrawing.
This is normal. Even the Taiping King and the Taiping Army were defeated. Even the Taiping King was captured alive and then beheaded on the spot. When other Sui troops came, it was also a disaster. At least they were definitely unable to capture Hangu Pass, and there was no
Why did you come here to support the target? Are you going to die?!
When we received information about the evacuation of the Sui reinforcements, we soon learned that Yu Juluo, the king of heaven, had led his army to arrive and entered Pingjin Pass.
Wu Xin, Wu Yunzhao and others who wanted to lead their troops to rescue Pingjin Pass knew better than to rush there.
With Yu Juluo stationed at Pingjing Pass, the Li army could no longer capture it in time, trapping the Sui army in the Dongdu battlefield among the eight passes!
With the abilities of Yu Juluo and Qu Tutong, plus the Sui army led by them, they can support the Sui army in the pass until they arrive at Pingjin Pass. If they rush there now, it will just mean that the two sides will fight fiercely at Pingjin Pass, which is of little significance.
!
Of course, just not rushing there, Wu Xin would still lead his army to force the Sui army away from Pingjin Pass, completely control the eight passes of Dongdu, and complete the complete blockade of Dongdu.
The only solution now is to rebuild Hangu Pass as soon as possible to guard against the Sui army's counterattack and to prevent the Sui army from harassing the Eastern Capital. Then the troops forced the Jinguan Pass and finally completed the layout of blocking the Eastern Capital.
"What a pity! If King Taiping hadn't intervened, we would have had time to seal the Pingjin Pass! By then, the Sui Empire's vitality would be severely damaged, and there would be nothing to worry about!"
After getting the information about Pingjin, Wu Yunzhao sighed with great regret.
Master Yinshi, Wu Tianxi and others all nodded with regret and expressed their agreement.
Li Xiuning, on the other hand, was not very happy after the war came to an end and lived up to expectations by defending Hangu Pass. He was still worried and frowning.
Obviously, the Hangu war is over, and Li Guo will use all its strength to deal with Tang Guo. She is caught in the middle, and she must be in a dilemma.
Wu Xin shook his head and smiled without regret:
"There is nothing to regret. If King Taiping had not led his army here, with the ability of famous generals such as King Xuanxiang and King Yutian, he would have evacuated the Eastern Capital long ago. He would not have waited until now, let alone gathered a large army to storm the Eastern Capital before leaving. I
The Fang still couldn't encircle the enemy in time. On the contrary, because of the arrival of King Taiping, the Sui Empire lost two kings and millions of troops. We should be happy..."
"Well……"
The generals were startled, and after thinking about it carefully, this was really the truth.
Although this time King Li, Taiwei Wei Xiaokuan and Ce Tianfu, etc., had a huge layout for Henan County and the eastern capital Luoyang, which could be said to be the layout of the world, and even wanted to kill two birds with one stone and succeed in one battle. However, they wanted to completely hide it from the long-famous
The possibility of the kings of the Sui Dynasty is too low, so it is too small to underestimate the kings of the Sui Dynasty.
Think about it again, because of the arrival of King Taiping, the Sui Empire lost two more kings and nearly three million Sui troops. Half of them were lost in the Eastern Capital, so Li Guo made a profit!
Thinking this way, everyone feels much better!
"While we are rebuilding Hangu Pass, Gu wants to be promoted to the emperor first, and then attack the Sui Dynasty. What do you think, dear friends? With our country's current territory, population, resources, luck and other factors, it is enough to be promoted!"
Without waiting for anyone to think too much, Wu Xin looked around at everyone present and said. After a pause, he quickly continued:
"Of course, our army has been on its northern expedition for a long time. It's time to recruit more soldiers and restore the organization of various departments in preparation for the war!"
"Huh?" Everyone was confused and didn't understand what Wu Xin meant for a while.
Wu Yunzhao's thoughts changed, he glanced at the frowning Concubine Li Xiuning, and asked pretending to be confused:
"My King Shengming! But... what about the Eastern Capital? Now there is only one Eastern Capital left in the Tang State. It would be too easy for them to just let the Tang State go. It would also contain too much of our military strength, which would not be conducive to our army's attack on the Sui Dynasty."
?”
Li Guo's promotion is naturally a good thing, a great thing for Li Guo's people, especially Li Guo's civil and military officials!
As long as the promotion is successful, Li Guo will definitely undergo a qualitative change and make another comprehensive leap. Especially in terms of the army, the combat power will rise to another level. It is estimated that many more immortals will be born by then, and...
King!
As long as King Li is promoted to emperor, he will be eligible to be crowned king!
Hearing what Wu Yunzhao said, Li Xiuning's eyes lit up, thinking that King Li really didn't plan to attack Dongdu. Then his eyes dimmed again. This was obviously impossible. The reason was just like what Wu Yunzhao said!
Wu Xin responded with a smile: "I really don't want to attack Dongdu. As long as our army defends the eight passes of Luoyang, I will see how long Dongdu can support it..."
At this point, it is no longer a secret, Wu Xin is just saying it clearly now!
Although Luoyang, the eastern capital, is one of the three great capitals, it has never been attacked from the front. However, the daily food consumption is an astronomical figure. It was just tortured by the Sui army and was trapped for several months. Now it is separated again.
If the army besieged it for several months, both the people in the city and the Tang army would starve to death!
Of course, Wu Xin also thought about using the "skill of wind and cloud" to sneak attack on Dongdu. Otherwise, it would be a protracted war of attrition. The Li army would also consume a lot of money, with zero casualties and high consumption!
As the king of Li, Wu Xin rarely pays personal attention to people's livelihood and logistical issues, but he also knows that the people of the world, who have experienced wars for a long time, are persisting extremely hard. Even for this Northern Expedition, food and supplies were also mobilized from the south. Otherwise, it would not be easy.
Relying on Yuan Liguo, I really can't support myself now.
"My king is kind, I am my concubine..."
Li Xiuning perked up and bowed with great joy.
"Concubine De, wait a minute! You are not joking, the agreement between the two countries has been made, and the King of Tang has broken the agreement so far. Otherwise, it is not a delusion to trap the Sui army!"
Before Li Xiuning could finish speaking, Wu Xin raised his hand to interrupt, paused, stared at Li Xiuning and continued:
"Now that the battle in Hangu has come to an end, it is time for Concubine De to return to the court in triumph. Gu allowed Concubine De to reorganize the women's army and lead an army alone. As for the King of Tang... Concubine De has done her best to be benevolent and righteous. According to the Duke of Tang, every ten days
, Gu then demoted him to one level, and when there was nothing more to do, even if the king of Tang surrendered, Li Guo would not be able to tolerate him."
"this……"
Li Xiuning's face turned pale. She wanted to argue but didn't know where to start or how to refute.
After a pause, he looked at Wu Xin hesitantly, then lowered his head and said with erratic eyes:
"How about I exchange my merits... for...?"
Wu Xin's eyebrows were thickly furrowed, and even General Li who was present had their expressions darken, and even looked strange.
The truth is that Li Xiuning did a great job this time. Wu Xin now asks the concubine Li Xiuning to return to Jiangdu, which is somewhat suspected of burning bridges. However, this cannot be done, and there is no such rule.
If Li Yuan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was a man who left his country and made a mistake, Li Xiuning would use his own merits in exchange for Li Yuan's life. This would be reasonable, but it would also be against the rules.
Now that Li Yuan is a member of the enemy's country, every day of delay will cause great damage to Li's country, so we can't let it go.
According to the ratio of ten people to one soldier (food and salary).
The daily food consumption of the Northern Expedition was the labor of hundreds of millions of people at the rear, and it might directly or indirectly kill countless people. Who should be blamed for this?
