Chapter 175: The Tragedy of Ling Jing (please vote for the third update!)

"Okay, now that Li Yang has fallen into the hands of our army, the rest is very simple." Unexpectedly, the dark clouds on Lu Zhaoci's face quickly disappeared without a trace.

, as if nothing happened at all, everyone was surprised and very curious, but no one asked, everyone listened to Lu Zhaoci's words.

"But we have to be careful. Dou Jiande also has a lot of resourceful people under his command to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Although our army has deployed a large number of troops in Hebei, there is still a shortcoming, that is, Jiangnan. The southern expedition army has all

After being transferred back, there are no important forces stationed in Jiangnan now. Although Du Fuwei, the general manager, has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, he is probably no match for Dou Jiande, but if defended properly, it is still very useful.

Fu Wei and Fugong Tuo led a large army and stationed themselves along the river to prevent Dou Jiande from leading his army into the south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, it will be very troublesome to annihilate them."

"I obey the order." Qin Qiong and others did not dare to neglect, let alone speak. The evil aura on Lu Zhaoci's body was faintly visible. It was obvious that he still had anger in his heart, but no one dared to ask.

It could be a secret guess.

"Everyone, get out of here!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand with extremely low interest. Everyone was surprised, but it was difficult to ask. After saluting, he left.

Outside the palace, Qin Qiong and other generals gathered together, with thoughtful expressions on their faces. The emperor's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were all matters of concern to his ministers, even these military generals. What's more, this matter is so strange, Wang Junkuo

, Gan Chong, Zu Ming and others actually captured the fortified city of Liyang with these thousands of troops. How powerful Liyang City was. Qin Qiong and others were figures in Wagang Village back then, so they naturally knew the truth and falsehoods in it.

Such a strong city was actually attacked by these three people, cutting off Dou Jiande's source of food and grass for his southward march, leaving the other party with only one way to retreat. Logically speaking, this is great news. As the Emperor, Lu Zhaoci also

He should be overjoyed, but seeing Lu Zhaoci looking like this, not only did he not look happy, but his face showed murderous intent. This had to surprise the generals.

"Second brother, what do you mean by His Majesty today?" Li Junxian sighed and said, "It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. I really feel this way when I see you today. I just don't know why Your Majesty is so angry?"

"Wu Lang, be careful what you say." Qin Qiong's purple-gold face showed a hint of worry, and he said lightly: "If I guessed correctly, it must have something to do with General Wang and his group's defeat of Liyang. How strong is Liyang City?

Zhang Qingte is cautious by nature and has 20,000 elite troops at his disposal. It is said that every time when grain and grass are transported, Zhang Qingte personally leads the troops, with half stationed at Liyang and half escorting the grain and grass. Even if Wang Junkuo, Gan Chong, and Zu Ming have

It is also very difficult to defeat Li Yang with Tongtian skills. However, he was able to defeat Li Yang in such a short period of time. This shows that the method involved may be open to question."

"Shixin, if you come to attack Liyang, what method will you use in such a short period of time?" Li Junxian suddenly turned around and asked.

"Kill!" Luo Shixin said coldly: "Use the enemy's assets for my own use. There are many civilian villages outside Liyang City, which can be used to lure the enemy. Dou Jiande prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, not only for the soldiers, but also for the people under his rule.

It's the same. Zhang Qingte is a general under Dou Jiande. If he doesn't save him, he will become the second Wang Fubao. If he saves him, the light cavalry under Wang Junkuo will be able to surround him and annihilate him. He will kill some of the opponents with superior force.

With enough troops, Wang Junkuo could seize Liyang in a short period of time and cut off Dou Jiande's food route."….

"Really?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he looked surprised.

"Perhaps that's true." Qin Qiong suddenly nodded and said: "Your Majesty is a rare hero who can only be seen in a hundred years. At first, he went against the aristocratic family for the sake of the Han people. Now Wang Junkuo actually killed the people around Liyang for his own military exploits.

All the villages were killed. Although these people are under Dou Jiande's rule now, they will be His Majesty's subjects in the future. It would be better if the people of Hebei didn't know that these troops were bandits. It would be better if they knew that these people were committed by His Majesty's generals.

, I still don’t know how long it will take to save today’s losses! No wonder His Majesty was not happy when he heard about the fall of Liyang, but he was also furious. Wang Junkuo, hey! Let’s go! Let’s go!” Qin Qiong waved his hand and shook it.

Shaking his head. All the generals also shook their heads and dispersed.

Under Hulao Pass, inside the Xia Army camp, Dou Jiande's face was filled with gloom. Ling Jing and others under his command were silent. Xu Yuanlang, Gao Shixing and other generals all lowered their heads. Li Yang has fallen. This is also the case.

The important food and grass area representing the army was captured, and the 100,000-strong army at Hulao Pass was about to fall into a situation of lack of food and grass.

"Lu Zhaoci is known as a wise king, but he lets his generals massacre innocent people. It's really unexpected!" Kong Desao sighed deeply.

"Lu Zhaoci is a hypocritical person. He imprisoned his uncle and killed his younger brother. Even his father-in-law was forced to death by him. He is a tycoon of his generation. He is no different from Cao Cao back then. He is even worse. On the surface, this man

They say one thing, but what they do is another." Song Zhengben snorted coldly: "This kind of thing should be reported to the world, so that everyone in the world can recognize Lu Zhaoci's true face."

"Your Majesty, at this time, the most important thing is Liyang's affairs." Ling Jing said calmly: "Our army has a hundred thousand troops. Even if the Xingyang Zheng family supports it, I am afraid that the Zheng family will not be able to support this one hundred thousand army for a long time.

Li Jing's army is about to move south, Your Majesty had better make a decision early."

"Ling Qing, what do you think?" Dou Jiande looked at Ling Jing with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Although many of his ministers have talents, some are good at politics, some are good at strategy, and some are good at teaching.

, but if you want to discuss the art of war, strategy, and know the military, you must have the Imperial Academy to offer wine to Ling Jing. This Ling Jing likes to hit the nail on the head when talking, and it is like this situation. He urgently needs to know the next step for Daxia. He is now very

Regret, why he listened to Ling Jing's words in the first place, if he could. He would rather sit in the Wanchun Palace at this time, command his generals to deal with Li Jing, and use the natural dangers of the Yellow River as a boundary to resist Lu Zhaoci. Now, not only Hebei has

It may be lost, and even Henan will find it difficult to gain a foothold. Why did Gao Yaxian, an idiot, let Wang Fubao be replaced in the first place!

"I thought it would be advisable to send troops to Heyang, capture Huaizhou and Heyang, and send the important generals to stay and defend them. I also led the crowd to beat drums and build flags, and crossed Taihang. I joined the Shangdang. I first made a sound and then confirmed it, and it was decided by spreading the message. Gradually, I came to Hukou.

, slightly attack Pujin, and take back the land east of the river, this strategy is better than this. Doing this will have three benefits: firstly, entering an uninhabited territory, and having a complete division; secondly, expanding the territory and gaining troops; thirdly, the siege of Zheng will be relieved."

Ling Jing had a hint of confidence on his face and said: "If Your Majesty is not willing, then simply recall the general Liu Heitai and use the strength of the whole country to send his army south and march directly to the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Zhaoci will pacify the time in Jiangnan.

If the situation is short, the people will be unstable. The Tang Dynasty also has very few troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, our army can march straight in and seize the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to resist Lu Zhaoci's attack and share the world with Li Tang. This is the best strategy.

"

"What do you think, dear friends?" Dou Jiande looked overjoyed. He did not expect that in this situation, Ling Jing actually came up with two strategies at once. In his opinion, although these two strategies have many flaws,

It's better than being helpless...

"Your Majesty, although the methods that Ling Jijiu came up with are good, they are all flawed, and the flaws are very big." Qu Leng glanced sideways at Ling Jing as he spoke, but his face was very calm, and he just listened

He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, not to mention that Lu Zhaoci was unprepared in the area east of Hedong, but Li Jing's army is stationed in Hebei. If he takes the opportunity to go south and Lu Zhaoci leaves Hulao Pass, we will have no choice but to sit in sleepy city. As for taking the

The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, which is even more impossible. Du Fuwei and Fugong Tuo have tens of thousands of troops stationed between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. As long as they delay us for a few days, we will run out of food and grass before we can reach the south of the Yangtze River. Chen

I think that although we have lost Liyang, it is not very difficult to transport food and grass. The Zheng family in Xingyang is a big family in the world, and the food and grass in it are piled up like mountains, which can fully supply my army of 100,000. Your Majesty does not need to worry about food and grass."

"If you don't have faith, you won't be established. Your Majesty, when we agreed to Wang Shichong to come to the rescue, we abandoned our allies at this time. I'm afraid this matter will be spread all over the world in the future, making the world think of your Majesty." Xu Yuanlang also frowned.

said.

"Although Mr. Ling is knowledgeable, he is just a scholar. How can a scholar know how to fight? I thought that taking Luoyang, the eastern capital, immediately was the foundation of my career, and that by combining the efforts of the two families to deal with Lu Zhaoci, I would have a chance of survival.

"Gao Shixing showed a trace of sarcasm on his face and looked at Ling Jing coldly. The other generals in the tent also spoke out one after another, saying that they should take the Eastern Capital immediately and not take risks. This made Dou Jiande extremely embarrassed.

After a while, he sighed to Ling Jing and said: "The hearts of the people are very strong now, and heaven praises me. Therefore, a decisive battle will lead to a great victory. I have followed the opinions of the people and cannot follow the public opinion."

"Your Majesty, do you know why all the princes are urging your Majesty to take the Eastern Capital?" Ling Jing's eyes shone and he glanced at everyone coldly. Everyone he glanced at was silent, but he did not speak.

"Oh! Why?" Dou Jiande asked curiously.

"Treasures!" Ling Jing sneered: "There are countless treasures in Luoyang City, and I'm afraid most of them have fallen into the pockets of the princes. I don't know if what Ling Jing said is correct."

"Ling Jing, shut up." Qu Leng's face turned purple when he heard this, and his lips trembled. He cupped his hands toward Dou Jiande and said, "Your Majesty treats me very well. I will do my best to serve your Majesty. How can I serve the Wang family because of money matters?"

.Ling Jing, your words not only insult us, but are also disrespectful to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, we all serve your Majesty loyally. After being insulted today, we really have no face to face your Majesty. Please allow us to leave." Even Song Zhengben and others knelt on the ground. For a moment, the whole tent was filled with laughter.

Inside, only Dou Jiande and Ling Jing were sitting on the maza, while the rest were lying on the ground.

Dou Jiande also looked unhappy when he heard this. He boasted that he treated his subordinates very well and lived a very simple life, because he did not like to eat meat and often ate vegetables and rice. His wife Cao was also dressed in the same way.

He was simple and had only a dozen maids and concubines, and the gains from each victory were distributed among his generals and soldiers. He was also very kind to others. But at this moment, Ling Jing said that the officials under his command secretly took Luoyang's money.

, serving Wang Shichong of Luoyang, isn't this a slap in his face? Although Ling Jing was very important to him, at this time, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, with a look of displeasure on his face, he waved his hand and said: "

Mr. Ling is tired, so his words are confused. Go down and have a good rest! Someone, help Mr. Ling down." Without waiting for Ling Jing to refute, he ordered the soldiers outside the tent to help Ling Jing out. The generals

Seeing this, a happy look suddenly appeared on his face.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Often in a group of people, except for one gentleman, everyone else is a villain. In the eyes of outsiders, this gentleman is also a villain, and those villains are all villains.

He is a gentleman. This is what Dou Jiande's subordinates are like. Where is Luoyang? After more than ten years of management by Yang Guang, there are countless treasures in the palace. Wang Shichong has obtained Luoyang. These treasures are naturally his. In order for Dou Jiande to send troops, he will not

Knowing how much treasures were spent, he bribed the officials of the Xia Kingdom and asked them to speak for Wang Shichong, and encouraged everyone to persuade Dou Jiande to rescue Wang Shichong. It is a pity that Ling Jing, although he has a strategy, unfortunately, he does not know the importance of being an official.

"Everyone is sleeping and I am awake alone. This situation is the most dangerous. What's more important is that he actually revealed these secret activities to Dou Jiande, which not only aroused public anger, but also slapped Dou Jiande hard."

How could Dou Jiande bypass Ling Jing with a slap in the face? Sure enough, as soon as Ling Jing left, everyone was overjoyed and cheered endlessly. But Dou Jiande went to Ling Jing, but he was not happy in his heart and waved

He waved his hand, dismissed the big tent, and entered the backyard camp...

In the back camp, Queen Cao was mending her clothes. When she saw Dou Jiande coming in, she couldn't help but put down the clothes in her hands, went up to her, and said, "You can offer wine as a sacrifice, why don't your Majesty accept it? Please follow the rules of your mouth."

Taking advantage of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, the company camp advanced to capture the northern part of the mountain, and because the Turks invaded the Guanzhong from the west, the Tang Dynasty must return its troops to save itself, and Zheng's siege was relieved. Today, under the soldiers and tigers in the prison, the sun and the moon have been flooded for a long time, and they have to fight for themselves.

If you are suffering, you may be in vain. (Tang History records.)"

When Dou Jiande heard this, his expression changed and he said calmly: "It is not a woman's knowledge of military and state affairs. Moreover, Zheng Guo hangs his life in the morning and evening, waiting for me to come. Since he promised to save him, how can he retreat in the face of difficulty to show the world that he is here?"

Don’t believe me! Besides, although what Ling Jing said is very reasonable, Hedong has always been Lu Zhaoci’s home base. How could it be obtained so easily? Once Li Jing’s army goes south and Lu Zhaoci’s army goes north, we will just have to

We can be trapped in the east of Hedong. We lack food and grass, and we will definitely be captured by Lu Zhaoci. But now it is different. Although Li Jing's army is in Mingzhou, Hebei is my territory, and the people's support is mine, and Liu Heitai leads the army.

If we compete with them, Hebei will naturally be safe. In Henan, the Zheng family in Xingyang can supply us with food and grass. Without the threat of food and grass, as long as Lu Zhaoci slacks off in the army, our army will win."

Mr. Cao was immediately silent. From then on, Dou Jiande was determined to fight decisively and could no longer listen to other people's advice.
