Chapter 1270 Pyo’s panic

"The general will finally be convicted."

Changsunze knelt down beside Li Xiang in fear. The soldiers under his command had such thoughts. In fact, he had noticed it a long time ago, but he did not explain to these people. Firstly, because he did not know, and secondly, he did not know. I want to make some noise with these people and see what Li Xiang means.

Now he finally understands that the real battlefield is not on the front battlefield, but in the next period of time. If we don't complete it well enough, then the territory under our feet is not really occupied.

Imagine that your army is in Wacheng, but the area outside of Wacheng is in the hands of the rebels. They are gathering in the mountains and forests. If you want to transport your various supplies back to Chang'an, you will be robbed many times along the way. , is that still considered your occupied territory?

"I don't blame you for not knowing. Now that I have told you, you should also tell your brothers and let them know what is most important in the future. We have occupied this place on the surface, but this is only the first stage. That’s all, in the next period of time, we will completely occupy this place.”

Li Xiang's words made Chang Sunze feel a little embarrassed. He always thought that he had done a good job and was considered a competent general. Li Xiang should be able to let him take charge of his own affairs. Only now can he see the gap between himself and others, even Cao Lian. Such a semi-soldier sees things more straightforwardly than he does.

Li Xiang asked Chang Sunze to go down. Although this guy has changed well, he is still young after all and lacks some observation skills for various things. This is one of the reasons why Li Xiang asked Cao Lian to stay with him.

"General Changsun is actually very rare. When he attacked the city, he was not affected by everything around him, but followed his own way step by step. This is much better than others. Without General Changsun's command, Maybe the city can’t take it now.”

What Cao Lian said was true. When Chang Sun Ze arrived in front of the city, he attacked the city step by step according to his plan. Even if a section of the city wall collapsed, his men did not risk attacking. They could capture the city faster. Going to the city can also reduce the casualties of his men.

For a general of his age to be able to do such a thing, Changsun Ze is already very good. If it had been for other young generals, they would have lost their composure. When the city wall collapsed, they would have ordered their cavalry to do so. The attack began.

"He has his advantages, but he also has shortcomings. You should follow him carefully. You have a better understanding of the situation in the south. You should give him good advice when the time comes. After this war is over, your contribution will be indispensable. "

Li Xiang's words made Cao Lian extremely grateful. His path in this life was different from before. He originally thought that he could make some money to buy a piece of land back home, and then live on rent.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Li Xiang, all this has completely changed, and there is no need to do those things at all. After winning this time, I am afraid that I will be at least a fifth-rank official. Once I have an official status, the whole family will The status will be improved accordingly.

Letters from home have also been sent. Since learning that Cao Lian is an official, some local famous families have also sent invitations. Although they are still at the bottom of the ruling class, they are at least completely integrated with the original businessmen. It’s different.

Piao King City.

This city looks quite good, at least it is comparable to the state capitals in the remote areas of Datang. But if you compare it with big cities, there is still no comparison here, not even half of it.

During these five hours, a dozen messengers riding fast horses came to the royal city, and they brought the worst news from the north.

King Yongjiang of Piao Kingdom had already overturned the table in front of him. Various kinds of food were scattered on the ground. A group of dancers retreated from the hall in panic. They had never encountered such a thing. His Royal Highness the King’s favorite It's them, but today I just tell them to get out.

It is understandable that such a thing happened. If the country is at peace, then these beauties will be the favorites of His Highness the King. Now that the largest city in the north has been lost, the Tang army will soon move south, and he will face the strongest in the world. In such a big empire, you still allow His Highness the King to remain calm. How is this possible?

"What should we do? Please tell us what should we do?"

The King of Piao's voice has become hoarse. He has been shouting the same words for a long time, but the ministers in the main hall don't know how to answer. According to their previous experience, it is estimated that even if the Tang army comes, then at least It would have to be a few years later. After all, the Tang army had just concluded its Eastern Expedition. How could it start a war right away?

What's more, some time ago, they made a series of restrictions on the Tang Guild Hall. Datang Guild Halls in various places agreed. Although it was a bit difficult, no one dared to resist, which further confirmed their I think Datang will not make any moves in the near future.

But just when they were relaxing, the Tang cavalry came and broke through more than a dozen cities on the border. Tens of thousands of troops were directly routed. Now even Wa City belongs to them.

"General Zhenguo, tell me."

Seeing that no one said anything, His Highness the King pointed directly at one person, General Mi Peng of Piao State.

General Mi Peng is nearly fifty years old, and he is considered a tiger general in the entire Piao Kingdom. He often helps the king put down rebellions in various places. He has certain experience on the battlefield, but all his experience is aimed at small forces. If When it comes to fighting against the Tang Dynasty, where did he get such experience?

"Your Highness, the most important thing now is to set up a line of defense and order the troops in the south of Wacheng to assemble. They must be blocked in the grasslands south of Wacheng, as well as our elephant soldiers, yes, yes, and Zhenla. People, aren't they allied with us? They should be allowed to send troops to support us."

General Mi Peng spoke incoherently, but the things he said were all things that should be done now.

"Where is Prime Minister Milduo? Contact the Chenla people. You have always been responsible for this matter. Ask them to send a large army to help us quickly. If they don't come, they will be the ones who will destroy our country."

King Yongjiang suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. It was obviously something that our two countries should jointly handle, so why did he put all the pressure on our side? At the same time, he was also very angry. Why not start the attack from Zhenla's side? (End of chapter)
