v8 Chapter 52： Everywhere

Liangzhou.

"With the power of Datang, the Uighurs ca n’t compete with us at all. If it ’s unusual, the Uighur nobles can only be arrested wherever Wang Shi went. However, the situation is different today. The dynasty can use its military power in the northwest. With monk strength, it is less than 30%.

At the head of the city, Nangong looked at the big camp outside the city, and his brows were gloomy.

Li Xian next to him continued: "If it ’s just a return, it ’s enough. Even if the dynasty can only send 30% of the army, and we are there, it is enough to annihilate them. However, with the help of Monk Khitan, the strength has increased a lot. The Guiyi Army and the 100,000 embargoes are indeed very difficult to defeat them. "

Speaking of this, Li Xian saw that Nangong was still in the first place, and patted his shoulder comfortably.

Nangong clenched his first fists and clenched his teeth: "A group of barbarians, just stealing the Western Regions before, just dare to gather soldiers and invade our Datang territory, it is unbearable!"

After Yangguan was breached, the Guiyi Army and Chang'an banned the army and retreated, almost giving up places like Shazhou, Guazhou, Ganzhou, etc., and retreating to Liangzhou.

After arriving here, the army stabilized, and began to rely on the solid city defense fortifications and the Uighur War. Now that the fierce battle has passed for more than thirty days, the Uighur Army has never been able to conquer the city.

The first turn of Nangong looked at Li Xian, with undisguised trust and expectation in his eyes.

He said: "If it wasn't for the northwest of Lao An, the war situation here doesn't know what it will look like. I am the first in Nangong who has the ambition to build a career and become famous, but I also know that I can only charge and fall into battle, talking about the strategy of the military and the military. , I can't look at Wang An's back. You give me a word, when will we counterattack? "

The Liangzhou guard battle has passed for more than a month, and the Uighur offensive is still fierce.

At this time, Nangong first asked whether Liangzhou could hold it, and only asked when it would be able to counterattack and defeat the enemy.

There is a reason for this.

The reason the Northwest Frontier and the Chang'an banned troops lost Sha, Gua, Ganzhou and other places was not the result of the collapse of the war and the retreat of all the ministries by Shi Cang, but Li Xian's targeted strategy.

As early as after the Yangguan Pass was broken, Li Xian discussed with Li Xun and designated Liangzhou as a key town to resist Uighur. Therefore, until this battle has been carried out, Tang Jun has chosen Rangzhou as a place of decisive battle against Huihu instead of falling back.

Because of this, before the army retreated to Liangzhou, the fortifications of the city were strengthened very tightly.

Choosing Liangzhou naturally has its reason.

One of the important aspects is that it is backed by Lingzhou.

The Lingzhou frontiers, Guo Ziyi, Fu Guhuan, and others who had always been powerful and calmed down the Anshi chaos, were all from the Lingzhou fan town-Shuo Fangjun.

At this time, the Shuo Fangjun in Lingzhou naturally could not be compared with that time. After all, when the court settled the Anshi chaos, the elite of Shuo Fangjun was adjusted, but even so, Shuo Fangjun was still the core town in the northwest of Gongwei.

Lingzhou Shuo Fangjun was adjacent to Xiazhou Dangxiang's Dingnan Army (Xia Suijun). At the time, Shangguan Qingcheng led the Langfang Army, and when he went north to level the Dangxiang, Li Zhi did not mobilize Shuo Fangjun to respond. Its purpose is to let Shuo Fangjun's energy build up and save strength for today's use.

Liangzhou has Lingzhou's support and echo. It is really not too difficult to block the Hui army.

But to counterattack to win, this is still infatuated by Li Xian.

Paranoid, at least for now.

He spoke earnestly to Nangong first: "We defeated Uighur, five points depended on ourselves, and five points depended on the results of Li Bei's battle in the north. If Li Yi can defeat Khitan, then Uighur loses strong support and cannot capture Liangzhou. No natural warfare, then I will wait for the counterattack.

"If it is well planned, Mo said that defeating Uighur, even if it is the pursuit of victory, enter the Western Regions, wipe the Huihu completely from the Western Regions, and rebuild the four towns of Anxi along with the trend, it is not difficult.

"But if Li Xun can't defeat Khitan, it is not difficult to rely on the strength of our forces to hold Liangzhou and restrain Uighurs, but to counterattack and expel Uighurs from the northwest to the Western Regions, there will be no way."

Nangong's first glare widened.

But it was just an angry look, without much emotional expression.

After fighting against Huihu in the northwest for so long, would he not know the contrast between the Huihu forces and the northwestern forces of the Tang Dynasty?

What Li Xian said was all facts.

Before Nangong ’s first, he had been imagining that Li Xian ’s army was slightly larger. Now, after listening to Li Xian ’s words, he can finally only accept that the victory and defeat of the war are not solved by tricks but by means of tricks and tricks. Real military strength.

After half a ring, the first look of Nangong was like a railway: "No matter what the situation of the first line of Yunyun, I will be the first in Nangong, and I will fight to the last minute in Liangzhou!"

"If Datang wins in the north, it will be the glory of the dynasty, and naturally there will be a chance for me to become famous in the Nangong. If the dynasty is defeated in the north, the country will be humiliated for the first time. How can one be extravagant? It's just a battlefield! "

After hearing Nangong's first words, Li Xian was a little bit confused.

But soon, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"So long for your country, you have finally become a thorough dynasty fighter!"

.....

Shu land.

In the depths surrounded by mountains, Wang Jian climbed up the steps and walked towards the peak on the straight bluestone slab stairs.

The battle at his feet was called Shushan.

Once, there was Shumen, one of the gates of the Great Tang Five Avenues.

The Five Avenue Gate is already a yellow flower of tomorrow. It can no longer be a storm in the world, but the tradition of the martial arts for thousands of years has left Shushan's heritage behind.

As a matter of course, as the Shushan disciple, in front of Fengqi Mountain, the Lord of She County showed off the unparalleled strength of Shushan by blocking the Wuxian Sword borrowed from Xianting by Wudaomen.

Today, Wang Jian needs to rely on the power of Shushan.

After Nanzhao's defeat, Wang Jian recognized the situation, resolutely retreated, and returned to Shu, relying on local interests to resist the Nanzhao army. Over the past few months, although there are many Khitan monks in the Nanzhao Army, fighting has been very difficult everywhere, but the situation has also been barely supported.

At least, the Chengdu Plain has not been affected by the tragedy.

But Wang Jian knew very well that the court was unable to give him more support, no reinforcements, and no monks.

The army that fought in Nanzhao had no Chang'an embargo. Basically, they were all soldiers of the Shu Difan town. Wang Jian's old ministry accounted for a large part. At present, the war situation is unfavorable. Seeing that Nanzhao Army will invade the land of Shu, Wang Jian, relying on his own strength, has been unable to win the victory and has to find another way.

Li Yan did not give support, and naturally the requirements for Wang Jian were not too harsh. The bottom line is to keep Cheng

All.

But as a prince who recently surrendered Li Zhi, his family knew his family and knew what he needed to do.

The previous vassal of Li Zhi was Li Maozhen.

When Li Maozhen was first sent out by Li Wei to fight, there was no army around him. There was only a group of monks who wanted her to open up the situation in Hexi. At that time, the Tubo forces in Hexi were extraordinary.

In Wang Jian's view, it was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the battle in Hexi that Li Maozhen was able to become the commander in chief of the Northern Territory, commanding the Changan embargo army and Datang's biggest opponent, Qidan, to fight in Youyun.

Since this is the case with Li Maozhen, Wang Jian can't raise any grudges even if he doesn't get the assistance from Li Zhi. The battle against Nanzhao was Li Ji's test to him, and it was also the only opportunity for him to prove that he had qualified before the Tang Dynasty.

In order to defeat the Nanzhao army, as soon as the shame had gone, Wang Jian had to let Shu Shan help himself and use the other monks and martial arts to pass on the strength.

...

Chang'an, Zhongshu Province, Li Yan put down his army newspaper and rubbed his brows.

Although Li Zhen was curious, Li Xun did not speak to him, and he was not easy to ask directly. "His Royal Highness, compared to Hui Zhe and Khitan, Nanxun's military strength is actually the weakest side. Nanxun's terrain is complex. It may not be easy for us to occupy another place, but they want to break into Shu.

"Only this time with the help of Brother Khitan, Wang Jian was suffocated. At present, if he can stabilize, it is not difficult to hold Chengdu, right?"

He did not say directly that Wang Jianben was the King of Shu and had a good influence in Shu. If he had to work hard to keep Shu in this time, he would have to be worried and must be dealt with by thunder.

General Li Xun reported to Li Zhen, "Wang Jian obtained the support of Shushan. Although there are not many disciples in Shushan Damen, he is a force that can play a good role in the middle of the battle in Shu.

"After all, Wang Jian was the King of Shu. It was not surprising that he could get the support of Shushan. According to this, Chengdu should be able to preserve."

Li Zhen took a look at the military newspaper, his eyes changed, and it was cloudy.

Looking at him like this, Li Zhi knew what he was thinking, and then laughed: "If Wang Jian does not borrow the power of Shushan, solitude will have a sense of defense. He went to prove that he was bright and clever, without hiding What's so worrying about Gu?

"Although the Five Avenue Gate has long ceased to exist, they have not become extinct, and the inheritance of the gatekeepers is still there.

"Gu wanted to make them use the dynasty as much as possible to strengthen my Tang dynasty, just like Yangzhou Confucianism. But for some reason, they don't necessarily trust Gu Gu completely. Shushan can help Wang Jian, it means that they have Gu succumbed, but only retained his face. What is unsatisfactory for Gu?

"As long as they can become dynasty forces and serve for Tang Dynasty, Gu doesn't care who they use to be born. As long as they are willing to be born, fundamentally, it still shows that Gu is popular, recognized, and supported.

"After all, loneliness is the lord of the dynasty. They serve for the dynasty, that is, for loneliness."

After listening to Li Yan's remarks, Li Zhen stood up, straightened his robes, and saluted respectfully.

He said from his lungs: "His Royal Highness is aware of the world and knows the fundamentals, and this skill is beyond our ability. This world belongs to His Royal Highness. It is not only His Highness but also the truth."
