The current situation is extremely dangerous for the Guanlong clan, and there is a danger of overthrowing at every turn. To reverse this situation, the most important things are two points: first, the six rates in the East Palace must completely occupy the Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible; second, Li Ji needs to use The most important thing is to balance the situation of the court, and adopt a support strategy for the Guanlong clan to fight against the Shandong and Jiangshan clans.
Both are indispensable, so it is extremely difficult to achieve.
But this advantage is the only chance of survival for Longmen Vale. Even though he knows that there is little hope, he has to do his best.
Therefore, the Guanlong bosses gathered here nodded one after another and affirmed Changsun Wuji's countermeasures. In fact, everyone also understood that Changsun Wuji was already red-eyed at this time, and everyone just agreed with his strategy. If you dare to object, I'm afraid you will be stabbed by Changsun Wuji immediately...
Changsun Wuji looked around and was satisfied with everyone's expressions.
Although as long as the Yuwen family follows his footsteps, anyone who dares to resist his strategy will be severely suppressed by him, and he will definitely be able to completely defeat any clan, but he does not want to do that if it is not necessary.
Since everyone is aware of the situation, the Guanlong clan is still as solid as a rock and may not be unable to fight.
*****
When the Guanlong army put all its reserves into battle, the small area of Taiji Palace was almost crowded with soldiers from both sides. Everyone launched a crazy attack under the urging of their respective supervising teams. Countless soldiers died almost every moment, and blood was shed. It flowed on the ground and was diluted by rainwater and flowed into ditches and lakes. The corpses were densely packed in layers. Everywhere was repeatedly fought over by both sides. Every inch of the land was soaked in blood. The battle was so fierce that the sky and the earth changed color, and the mountains and rivers screamed!
Faced with the crazy offensive of the Guanlong army, the Sixth Army of the East Palace could only resist stubbornly and retreated steadily. Most of the Taiji Palace had been captured, and their momentum was suppressed by the rebels.
Li Ji's command post has been moved back from Taiji Palace several times and is currently located in Liangyi Palace. However, the rebel offensive is overwhelming like a tide. The Sixth Army of the East Palace is trying to resist it. It must be moved back again soon and placed next to it. Near the Ganlu Hall.
Panic has begun to arise in the army, but Li Jing remains calm and calm. Every time a general under his command asks for instructions or an orderly soldier delivers a message, Li Jing can be seen sitting in the command post with his big horse and golden sword, looking like "Taishan is collapsing in front of us." His calm demeanor without changing his face.
This is very important for stabilizing the morale of the army. The general is the courage of the soldier. As long as the general can hold on, the morale of the army will be stable. Even if it is on the verge of despair, it can still rise and fight.
Li Siwen, who was bandaged up like rice dumplings, asked in confusion: "Why didn't the commander pass on the news that the Youtun Guards had broken through the Jinguang Gate and killed them in the West City? At this moment, the bandits' army is strong and menacing, and our soldiers will inevitably lose their morale. It’s so scattered that we should release the news to stabilize it.”
Li Jing still sat firmly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said slowly: "Be calm! You are from a military family. You should know that your father has been marching and fighting for many years and has experienced many dangerous situations. But no matter how bad the situation is, can you imagine how your Majesty would be at a loss and at a loss of where to go or retreat?"
"this……"
Li Siwen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "If you are not a general, you will be inferior to me. My father has always been calm and composed, and he has wisdom at his fingertips. If he loses his position, it is almost impossible."
Li Jing said: "How can there be a real victorious general who can lead troops in war? The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and there is never a battle that is guaranteed to be won. As a commander, you must prepare for the worst at all times. The qualities of a commander. , not only to strategize and win thousands of miles, but also to be as gentle as a rock and become the mainstay of the entire army. No matter how powerful the enemy's offensive is, it can still stand still! Even if the enemy is already in front of you at this moment, raise the steel Knife, don’t even blink your eyelids!”
This is what he has learned from his many years of experience in the military, and he is willing to teach the young generals under his command everything he has.
For example, he has focused on writing books and literature in recent years. Compared with military achievements and power, he cares more about inheritance.
If you can pass on everything you have learned in your life, even if you return to dust a hundred years later, your thoughts, knowledge, and military strategies will still be active in the world, and will be passed down by word of mouth to future generations, that is a first-rate official residence. , the power lies in more glorious and glorious things.
Li Siwen frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "In other words, even if you are scared to death, you still have to look like you are ready to die, so as to frighten the enemy and appease the soldiers' morale?"
"...Mom!"
Li Jing held a breath in his chest and yelled angrily: "I'm so scared to death! A man walks in this world, but it only lasts for tens of years. Emperors, generals and generals are mortal, and there is a scar as big as a bowl on the head. What's so scary about it?" ?You coward!"
Li Siwen looked aggrieved, but did not dare to refute...
A school lieutenant walked in quickly from outside, with a happy face. He came to Li Jing and saluted, and said: "Commander Qi, we just sent news from the inner gate. His Royal Highness personally rode to the Xuanwu Gate and met with Duke Guo. When they met, the Duke of Guo had already led his "Bei Ya Forbidden Army" to surrender, and opened the Xuanwu Gate for His Royal Highness to pass through. The Duke of Yue led his army to meet His Highness the Prince outside the Xuanwu Gate and arrived at the Youtunwei camp. The Duke of Guo even asked more His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sworn that he is willing to lead his troops to defend Xuanwu Gate and never let the rebels get past the trap!"
"good!"
When Li Siwen suddenly heard the good news, he shouted and stood up, frightening Li Jing who was about to speak.
Li Jing was so angry that he yelled: "What's wrong with you, mother-in-law? Your father is a hero, how could he have given birth to such a coward like you?"
Li Siwen didn't care and said with joy: "His Royal Highness has left the Xuanwu Gate. Our biggest burden is gone. We can finally let go and fight. The worst is death. What's the big deal?"
Li Jing agreed with this.
Although he bears the name of "Military God", he is not a person who cherishes his reputation. He can accept failure calmly, even at the cost of his life. He doesn't care at all whether his body dies or his reputation is ruined, or whether everything is in vain.
Victory is a joy, defeat is also joy.
This is the realm of life he has realized while living in the secluded mansion these years...
But if victory or defeat was related to the life and death of the prince, the survival of the Eastern Palace, or even the inheritance of Guo Zuo, that was something he could not bear.
At this moment, the prince has withdrawn from Xuanwu Gate, and the Youtun Guards are responsible for protecting him. Even if Donggong Liu leads the entire army and is annihilated, what will happen?
You can let go of your hands and feet and fight!
He stood up suddenly and went to the map hanging on the wall. He looked at it carefully, considered it briefly, and then ordered: "Call all armies to continue the previous strategy, camp step by step, and lure the enemy deeper. Before I give orders, , all armies must not fight to the death with the enemy without authorization!"
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the captain quickly went out to convey the military order to the various armies.
Li Siwen stood behind Li Jing and asked curiously: "Since the prince has withdrawn, we should give it a try. The right guard has entered the city, and we will surely gain victory by taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack. However, the commander ordered all the troops to lure the enemy."
Go deep, what’s the use of doing so?”
Li Jing smiled slightly and tapped his finger on the map: "This map marks the current situation, the distribution of the enemy and ourselves, and the dynamics are clear at a glance. However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he cannot focus on this map.
."
Li Siwen looked confused and said cooperatively: "Where should I put it?"
This cooperation made Li Jing feel very comfortable. He drew a huge circle around the periphery of the map with his hand, wrapping the entire map inside, and said proudly: "The commander's eyes must be focused on the battlefield, and ultimately they must be separated from the battlefield.
The battlefield rises to the whole world."
"The world?"
Li Siwen became more and more puzzled. At the moment, it was just a mutiny in Chang'an City, and it spread to the entire Guanzhong. How could the changing and turbulent situation in the world determine the victory or defeat of the mutiny in Chang'an?
Li Jing stroked his beard and taught Li Siwen the words he had heard from Fang Jun. He naturally showed no embarrassment about "plagiarism": "War has always been a continuation of politics. If you cannot grasp the changes in politics, how can you achieve success?"
A war born out of politics?”
Li Siwen's eyes widened, and there was a big question mark on his forehead.
Li Jing was a good teacher and was good at tempting people. He placed his finger near the West Market and said: "Youtun Guards have already attacked here. With the Youtun Guards' powerful combat power and excellent equipment, no Guanlong army can stop its overwhelming offensive.
"
The finger moved to Taiji Palace again: "At this time, all the Guanlong troops who broke into Taiji Palace learned that Youtun Guards had entered the city, and their troops were bound to panic. It seemed that the offensive was overwhelming at the moment, but as long as the occupation changed slightly, the situation would immediately change.
.Tell it yourself, what will be the most direct change?"
