"Well, rebuild the Tang Dynasty. The previous Tang Dynasty collapsed, so we will build another one. It will be better and stronger than the original one!" Looking into Wang Xun's eyes, Jia Chang spoke very seriously, without thinking at all.
I was dreaming. "These days, Jia has been thinking about why the Tang Dynasty collapsed so quickly, and he has never come up with a definite answer! But Jia knows that it was not just An An who brought down the Tang Dynasty.
The rebels in Lushan are not just Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, the emperor, the prince, the imperial concubine, Gao Lishi, Ge Shuhan, Bian Lingcheng, you and I can't escape their responsibility! Don't shake your head in a hurry, I am
Seriously. Think carefully about what you did in Chang'an City back then! Although it is not extremely evil, he used his power to bully others and took advantage of others, so he definitely did not escape. The same goes for Jia. He accepted bribes, took charge of lawsuits, made connections, and helped others sell their official positions. At that time,
I still thought I was capable, but I didn’t expect that every time I did something immoral, I would dig my own grave deeper! So the purpose of Jia’s life now is to re-establish the Tang Dynasty with his own hands, otherwise
, even Jia’s bones will definitely not be able to rest in peace after his death!”
If he had heard these words half a month ago, Wang Xun would have definitely felt enlightened. But now, regarding the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, the picturesque rivers and mountains outside him, the soldiers and the people, he already has his own thoughts in his heart.
To some extent, it is similar to what Jia Chang said, but upon closer inspection, it is completely different.
Indeed, as Jia Chang said, the collapse of the Tang Dynasty was not unrelated to him, Wang Mingyun. Compared with people like Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi, the difference is just a big responsibility and a small responsibility! Those ridiculous things he did in Chang'an City back then
, if it were an ordinary person who had done it, he would have been arrested by the government long ago and sent to be his wife three thousand miles away. But at that time, he and his Qin family brothers, Yu Wenzhi, Ma Fang and others did not feel that there was anything wrong with what they did. Anyway, the whole situation
The noble disciples in Chang'an City all behaved in the same way, and no one had the right to blame the other.
Indeed, as Jia Chang said, it was these princes, princes, and grandsons who relied on the shadow of their ancestors and ate the support of the Tang Dynasty, and turned the Tang Dynasty into an empty shell from the inside. It was they who personally destroyed the sacrifice of their ancestors.
The foundation they had laid had destroyed the glory left by their ancestors and fathers with their own hands! Therefore, it was indeed their duty to rebuild the entire Tang Dynasty on the ruins! However, Wang Xun did not want the rebuilt Tang Dynasty to be exactly the same as the previous one.
! He hopes that the new Datang pedestal will have something completely different from the previous one, at least, not as cold and fragile as before.
This is his salvation and his new life!
"Wang doesn't agree with what Brother Jia said. But Wang also believes that the great rivers and mountains in front of him cannot be ruined by the rebels!" Wang Xun slowly squatted down and tried to keep his eyes at the same level as Jia Chang, "
If Mr. Jia needs Wang's help in any way in the future, just ask. Whether it's money or things, as long as you send someone to let him know, Wang promises to find a way to deliver it to you!"
"I'm not short of money. As for manpower, you are all full of warriors, so I can't use them!" Jia Chang smiled and reached out to hold Wang Xun's shoulders. "But if you can fight like this again,
It would be best to go outside Chang'an City a few times or take troops and horses for a while. The more critical the situation outside is, the easier it will be for Jia to muddy the waters inside the city!"
"This..." Wang Xun was once again shocked by Jia Chang's bold idea. He quickly looked behind him and smiled awkwardly. With the current strength of the Anxi Army, let alone attack Chang'an, which has complete defense facilities.
The city cannot afford a battle like today's a second time in a short period of time. Although on the surface, today's victory looks very brilliant.
"Could it be that you really have only 10,000 people in your hands as Sun Xiaozhe heard in advance? Oh my god, then you still dare to lead the army to fight? Are you Feng Changqing's disciple?" Jia Chang's reaction was not insensitive.
, seeing the embarrassment in Wang Xun's expression, he immediately guessed the nature of the matter.
For such an extremely smart person and a partner for future cooperation, Wang Xun did not want to hide his current predicament. He smiled and responded in a low voice: "To be honest, Wang's soldiers are still 10,000. The losses in this battle are still 10,000."
We haven't had time to order people to count, so the casualties are estimated not to be too small. In the end, there will be 6,000 brothers left for Wang, who are already chanting Buddha's name. There are quite a few temporary recruits from various places, but they are all people who have never seen blood.
Those guys. If you force them onto the battlefield without going through a year and a half of training, you might as well just kill them!"
Hearing this, Jia Chang was disappointed and admired at the same time, with a strange expression on his face. He stared at Wang Xun for a while, then suddenly stood up on tiptoes and slapped Wang Xun hard on the shoulder.
After finishing, he looked at his palms and felt that they were not enough. He jumped up and patted them again, and then said with a smile: "That's enough! Jia has convinced you. There is no one more courageous than you, Wang Mingyun, in the whole world."
, even more so. Even if you are lucky, Sun Xiaozhe only has 25,000 soldiers in his hands. Because he is not worried about the situation in Chang'an City, he only brought more than 15,000 this time. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how.
dead!"
"Wang will have to fight this battle no matter how many people he comes. Otherwise, the surrounding counties and counties will definitely surrender to the rebels immediately!" Wang Xun nodded and told the whole story of his embarrassment.
He only has the title of Anxi envoy. No matter how far he stretches his hand, he cannot control the counties in Gyeonggi Province. In the past, he was able to ensure that the surrounding counties provided him with food, grass and soldiers, all based on the threat of force. If the enemy came,
If you don't even have the courage to fight, you will definitely be abandoned by the counties immediately.
Another reason that prompted him to step forward to fight without any certainty was that the current morale of the Anxi Army was very unstable. Morale that is solely inspired by words and hatred will not last long, and morale that is solely based on past prestige will not last long.
The team is not strong either. He needs to show his strength and let everyone see hope. Especially for the princes of Yaochashui, Wang Xun must let them see the benefits of following him, which is far higher than the consequences of abandoning him now.
Only in this way can the princes dare not violate their orders.
Jia Chang is a smart man, and he knows some things clearly. After thinking about it, he said very understandingly: "I don't understand much about leading the army in war. But I can tell you clearly that Sun Xiaozhe has very poor control over his soldiers.
Especially the tribal leaders, such as Ashina Congli and others, have long been dissatisfied with Sun Xiaozhe. In the past, Sun Xiaozhe could barely suppress them by relying on the Yiluohe and Youyan elites in his hands. Today's battle,
You killed more than half of the elite Yiluohe and Youyan, and after returning to the capital, they will definitely not want to follow Sun Xiaozhe's lead anymore!"
This information was very timely, and Wang Xun couldn't help but feel refreshed. Just as he was about to inquire about the details, he heard Jia Chang lower his voice and add: "I've been doing a lot of courtesy with Ashina recently. He saw me
He is a small man, so he is not very wary of me. Judging from his tone, he no longer wants to follow Sun Xiaozhe. The other tribal leaders have similar ideas in mind. The reason why they raised troops to support An Lushan in the first place
, the purpose is to go to the Central Plains to get a vote. Nowadays, almost every tribal warrior has made a lot of money, and if they continue to work for the rebels, the gains outweigh the losses. After all, these tribes have a small population, even if they are in the Central Plains.
Mao, I don’t even have the strength to control a big place!”
"You mean, you plan to divide and disintegrate them?" From Jia Chang's introduction, Wang Xun quickly came to a conclusion. "So you asked me to assume a posture of being ready to regain Chang'an at any time, forcing Ashina to obey the rites and Sun Xiaozhe
break!"
"It's not that simple, but it's close. The greater the pressure you create outside the city, the easier it is for me to take advantage of you. As for your current shortage of troops, Jia has an idea, but I don't know if it will work?"
"Tell me about it!" Wang Xun requested happily. What his subordinates currently lack most is Jia Chang, a talent who is good at conspiracy. If the other party hadn't kept asking to return to Chang'an, he would have wanted to keep him by his side and ask for advice at any time.
"Just locking the people in a military camp for training is definitely not the answer. Firstly, the effect may not be very good, and secondly, it cannot solve your urgent needs. You might as well separate them into a separate government, and bring some of them with the army every time you go to war.
To see the world, there is no need for them to fight with elites like Yiluohe. They can just fight the lower Sis against the lower Sis. For example, to deal with the counties in Gyeonggi Province that have surrendered to the rebels, you can let the veterans take the new soldiers to fight together. Anyway
The garrison troops in those counties are also temporarily raised. Their combat effectiveness may not be stronger than the people in your hands!"
"There are several places that are most suitable for you to train new soldiers!" Jia Chang picked up a broken spear and drew pictures on the ground. "Like several counties to the west and north of Chang'an, Yunyang, Wugong, Sanyuan
, and Hu County slightly to the south. Sun Xiaozhe did not have time to divide his troops and garrison them. After experiencing this defeat, he had no strength to take care of them. You only need to move your fingers a little to take them down. If Sun Xiaozhe
Send troops to fight. If the number is small, you can swallow him up. If he dares to go out in force, hum..., and lose to you in the field again, he will have no soldiers to guard Chang'an!"
"Then you need to be very clear about the movements of the rebels!" Wang Xun's eyes brightened the more he listened, nodded, and added in a low voice.
"I opened a new cockfighting parlor in the upper part of Chang'an City. The address is opposite Jinhua Building. The smelly fish and rotten shrimps under Sun Xiaozhe were so frightened by the windfall in their hands that they wished they could stay in my cockfighting parlor all day long. You
If you can find a suitable fighting cock, you might as well send someone to send it to me. The old and new nobles in Chang'an City are all waiting to see the fun!"
"You mean..." Wang Xun was overjoyed. He was so excited that he wanted to lift Jia Chang to kiss the two. When the two armies are fighting, the military situation is extremely important. The more you know about the enemy, the more confident you will be of victory.
"You were also in the cockfighting business back then, and you know what kind of cockfighting is the most popular. After you arrive at my place, as long as you say you are an old partner of Changlefang, someone will naturally come to receive you. Once there is a major deployment of the enemy's troops, I will also
On the pretext of urgently needing new goods, he sent people to the countryside to purchase fighting cocks. By then..." From the first day of the fall of Chang'an, Jia Chang was thinking about how to deal with the rebels all the time. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend money to fight with Sun Yat-sen.
The generals under Xiaozhe socialized, treated guests and gave gifts, flattered people, made jokes, pretended to be crazy, and tried their best to do whatever they could. However, the generals under Sun Xiaozhe saw that he was short and humorous, so they were not wary.
Come, so in a daze, the two sides started fighting fiercely.
Now comparing the specific situation of Wang Xun's department, the suggestions put forward by Jia Chang can be said to be a timely help. Wang Xun listened and took notes in his heart. When he encountered uncertainties, he would put down his face and discuss with the other party humbly.
.Soon, a series of practical information transmission plans were summarized.
If you follow this plan, even if you can't completely understand all the movements of the rebels, you can at least accurately predict the enemy's general strategic intentions, so that every step Sun Xiaozhe takes will not exceed Wang Xun's expectations. As long as Anxi
The army is fully prepared in advance, and every battle is guaranteed to win!
The two of them were talking about speculation, but before they knew it, the sun had set in the west. No one was shouting horses neighing on the battlefield, but the autumn wind was getting stronger, and the flags were blowing loudly.
Jia Chang raised his head and glanced at the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty above his head, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "Okay, everything Jia can give you has been cleared away. It's time to leave. If you don't leave, we'll leave before dark."
We can’t keep up with Sun Xiaozhe’s large army!”
"If you leave like this, will you be suspected? After all, someone just saw you being captured." Wang Xun waved his hand and ordered Wan Qi Yu Xie to bring Jia Chang a newly captured Liaodong horse, while expressing concern.
to ask.
"What are you doubting? They big guys lost the war, how can they blame me, a little dwarf?" Jia Chang smiled and pointed at the package containing gold ingots behind the horse with his finger, "You have old friends with me, don't you want to
They took my head to claim credit from the imperial court and gave me a large sum of money to go home and retire. But I couldn't bear to part with the cockfighting ring in Chang'an City, so I hurried back eagerly!"
This is a reasonable excuse. Wang Xun nodded. He stretched out his hand to help Jia Chang tighten the reins of the horse, "Then you must be more careful. To be honest, if there is a more suitable candidate, Wang really doesn't want Brother Jia to
To be in the den of tigers and wolves again!”
"Who better than Jia to do such a dirty thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself!" Jia Chang grabbed the iron ring on the horse's belly belt and climbed onto the saddle neatly. After that, he waved his fat little hand vigorously,
He turned his mount and galloped away! A series of crisp sound of horse hooves was left in the wilderness.
The wind is cold, and a few leaves are fluttering and falling.
