On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing. Even with an absolute advantage, it is difficult to say that victory is guaranteed. There are countless examples of battles in which the small defeats the large and the weak defeats the strong.
However, in summary, the factors that affect the outcome of a war are just a few factors such as timing, morale, and combat power. From these, we can form a complete theoretical system of war.
The Sixth Army of the East Palace mobilized troops from all over, with Cheng Chubi's troops fighting fiercely at Hongwen Hall as the main force, and suddenly launched a surprise attack at dawn. The rebels were caught off guard and immediately defeated. Cheng Chubi's troops continued to advance towards Chengtianmen.
Only then could we stabilize our position.
The rest of the Taiji Palace turned to defense due to weak troops, and Donggong Liu led a sharp counterattack, hoping to achieve the goal of forcing Guan Long to return to the negotiating table.
However, when Cheng Chubi's troops rushed to the Chengtian Gate and everyone in the East Palace was excited, the rebels quickly increased their troops. Thousands of soldiers broke into the Taiji Palace from both sides of the Guangyun Gate and Changle Gate, and then quickly gathered in the middle and joined Cheng Tianmen.
The rebels in Tianmen defeated Cheng Chubi's troops and completed the encirclement on three sides.
The situation changes instantly.
It is true that Guanlong's army was not as elite as Donggong Sixth, but relying on its absolute strength advantage, it quickly achieved comprehensive suppression. Countless soldiers swarmed up, and Cheng Chubi's troops struggled to support it. Due to the deployment of troops, various groups in Taiji Palace were
The Sixth Army of the East Palace at Cheng Chu had only defensive capabilities and no ability to counterattack. They could only watch Cheng Chubi's troops being surrounded by rebels, but were unable to rescue them in time.
There was a fierce battle under the Chengtian Sect, with blood splattering and the fighting situation extremely tragic.
A well-planned counterattack, the rebels were well prepared and quickly adapted to the situation, and soon fell into a bitter battle. Cheng Chubi led his troops to break through and fight to the death.
…
Changsun Wuji was sitting in the side hall of the shop facing the street of Yanshoufang, drinking hot tea. He put his injured leg on a stool aside and let the servants massage it gently. He felt very excited as he listened to the news from the Tai Chi Palace.
easy.
In terms of military strategy, no one in the world can compare with Li Jing. Therefore, from the day of the uprising, Changsun Wuji was very afraid of him. Every time he formed an army, he tried his best to crush the opponent with superior force and not give the opponent any advantage.
Moving around to find opportunities to offset the strategic and tactical differences between the two sides.
So far, it's been doing pretty well.
Li Jing's military skills are indeed unparalleled, but the East Palace is not monolithic. Even if he is the nominal commander of the East Palace army, it is difficult for him to follow his words. No matter what he says, there will always be people who act in their own interests and put more constraints on Li Jing's strategy.
.
War is never a simple matter of arranging troops, military strategy, and the military's vocation, which can only serve politics. When the army is defeated like a mountain, everything will stop, but even after a great victory, won't they cede territory and pay compensation?
, mourning the teacher and humiliating the country?
Li Jing's military strategy is unparalleled in the world, but when it comes to political literacy, he is really naive...
This time, Dong Palace mobilized troops to counterattack, but he was thwarted by him, and he took advantage of the situation to hit him hard, which was extremely important for Guan Long's future. Even if he hated the peace talks, he could not completely resist. After all, Guan Long was connected with the same spirit and became one body. If
He completely ignored the determination of the other clans to negotiate peace. Maybe the next moment will be when the Guanlong Alliance falls apart.
Profits are always pursued relentlessly, and even if one controls the entire Guanlong, it is impossible for him to swallow up all the benefits.
He naturally also understands that the real purpose of the other Guanlong clan is to prevent him from deposing the East Palace and supporting Li You to ascend the throne, thereby completely taking control of the government. By that time, the Changsun family will become a veritable "uncrowned king" and completely control
In this country's power, all relevant officials have to be reduced from "collaborators" to "dependants" and lose all initiative.
The people do not worry about the numbers but the inequality. When Guanlong is in danger of being suppressed by the imperial power, everyone can still work hard to cooperate sincerely. However, once the mutiny is successful and the power is in hand, everyone's mind will be on how to seize more money from the Changsun family.
Instead of allowing the eldest son's family to dominate, it has reached a state of greater prosperity than in the early years of Zhenguan, becoming "the first family in the world"...
Constraints and checks and balances are everywhere. Li Jing is like this, and so is himself.
The difference is just to see who can suppress the opponents around them as much as possible, maximize their own advantages, and win the final victory.
At this point, Li Jing is not worthy of helping him...
The anger and sorrow caused by the death of Changsun Anye in my heart has dissipated. After all, after this battle, the morale of the East Palace will be greatly reduced. Even if it cannot completely dispel the peace talks of the Guanlong allies, it can also promote the peace talks to make great progress.
, so that this military remonstrance ends as soon as possible.
Changsun Wuji did not expect that the military remonstrance would develop to this point. Not only did the Guanlong clan go all out, without any reservations, and risked their century-old heritage, but even the clans in Hedong, Hebei and other places almost tied up and devoted all their efforts.
.
For the world's elites, this "battle" with the imperial power is a success or failure. If you win, it will establish the situation in which the elites will dominate the government in the next sixty years; if they fail, the world's elites will have accumulated accumulated wealth over hundreds of years.
The foundation will be swept away, and the imperial power will be supreme and unshakable.
Therefore, this is an unprecedented battle that directly challenges the imperial power. As long as we can win, we will not hesitate to pay no matter how high the price is...
Outside the door, Yu Wenjie walked quickly, presented the battle report in his hand to Changsun Wuji, and whispered: "Fang Jun is back!"
For a moment, Changsun Wuji was a little stunned...
He immediately came to his senses, carefully opened the battle report, and read it word for word, with a gloomy look on his face.
He sent two groups of cavalry one after another, and sent out all the remaining elite soldiers of the Changsun family. Based on the narrow terrain of the Shangyu Ancient Road, he intended to intercept and kill Fang Jun. However, they all failed. Fang Jun defeated them one by one and was completely defeated...
That's all. After all, Fang Jun's fame was not in vain. Each of his soldiers was worth ten, and it was a pity that he could not be intercepted and killed on the ancient Shangyu Road, but it was not unacceptable.
However, after Fang Jun returned to Chang'an, he did not immediately return to the Xuanwu Gate to enter the palace. Instead, he went around to the Jinguang Gate and fired provocations at the Guanlong troops stationed here...
This was like a slap in the face to Changsun Wuji.
Yu Wenjie looked at Changsun Wuji's livid face, fearing that he would get angry, so he continued to increase his troops into the city and intensify the attack on Taiji Palace, which resulted in empty garrisons outside the city. He was attacked by the Eastern Palace, which ruined the good situation.
And once the war escalates, it is very likely that this local battle of "counterattack" and "counterattack" will evolve into an all-out war in which both sides spared no effort. This is seriously against the interests of all Guanlong families...
He hurriedly remonstrated: "Fang Jun seems to be vulgar and unruly, and his actions seem to be unruly, but in fact he often makes decisions before taking action. If you really think that he is reckless and impulsive, you will easily suffer a big loss. Now that Fang Jun has returned to Xuanwu Sect,
The morale of the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, and the Tubo Hu Cavalry has been greatly boosted. If we continue to increase our troops to strengthen the Taiji Palace offensive at this time, resulting in an empty defense outside the city, we may give Fang Jun an opportunity to sneak attack. Please be careful, Duke Zhao.
."
Whether it's the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, or even the Tubo Huqi, they are good at sneak attacks. Moreover, the defense area of the Guanlong Army is too large, so it is inevitable to focus on one and lose the other. Once Fang Jun chooses a place to conduct a sneak attack, it will be difficult to defend.
.
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, waved his hand, and said: "Do you really think I've been carried away by hatred? Although the hatred is as deep as the sea, I will never put Guanlong's interests above personal hatred. The current situation is not good for us.
If it is beneficial, we will naturally not add any extraneous details or create any complications. We will pass on the order and the troops outside the city will be on strict defense to guard against sneak attacks by the Youtun Guards."
Guanlong's interests are indeed important. Interests are the bond that keeps Guanlong united. But for Changsun Wuji, he must not only maintain the unity of Guanlong, but also destroy the peace talks and eliminate allies as much as possible.
Seize greater benefits during peace talks.
Where the interests are placed, the total amount will not change. If there are more allies, the Changsun family will have fewer. In view of the fact that the Guanlong families are currently complaining about the Changsun family, they are constantly complaining that Changsun Wuji has dragged everyone into such a dangerous situation.
In the midst of a war that might even lead to destruction, Changsun Wuji had to consider whether the Changsun family would be ostracized and held accountable once peace talks organized by other families were successful.
All in all, it is really difficult for him to not only unite all the Guanlong families, but also try every means to sabotage the peace talks...
Yuwenjie was relieved to see that Changsun Wuji did not insist on his own way, and asked for instructions: "Now that Cheng Chubi's troops are surrounded and exhausted in the battle, should we mobilize nearby troops to cut off their retreat and completely annihilate them?"
