Facts have proved that Li Xiaogong's guess is exactly what the Japanese court is thinking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Japanese army suffered two ambushes, and the total number of dead and wounded was reduced by more than 40% of its combat effectiveness, it still continued to speed up.

Under normal circumstances, if the Japanese army encountered such a situation, it would not move forward like this, and even if it continued to move forward, it would first send a vanguard to investigate, and the army would march slowly behind. However, the Wa Kingdom accelerated the speed of the march again and again, which was in line with Li Xiaogong's speculation.

In this way, the old tricks of the Tang Dynasty were repeated, and the Japanese army could only pass through the pit knowing that there was a pit, and ambushed it several times, and when the Japanese army arrived in Osaka, the army of 100,000 people had only 50,000 people left.

Half of the Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded by shells and gasoline fire during an ambush on the road, and lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, the city wall of Osaka has been repaired, and Zhang Liang's Dengzhou sailor has also arrived in Osaka.

The number of people and ammunition have been replenished, and the morale of the Tang Dynasty is even stronger. The grain and grass in Osaka City are also enough to support the consumption of the Tang army.

"Hahahaha, don't come to the Duke of Yanguo? It's like I'm looking forward to you! Li Xiaogong returned to Osaka, saw Zhang Liang, and immediately smiled.

Zhang Liang also greeted him and said with a smile: "I have seen the king of Hejian County, the king of Hejian County took the important town of the Wa Kingdom with twelve ironclad boats, and the matter of approaching the capital of the Wa Kingdom has already spread all over the government and the opposition, the people cheered, the ministers were excited, and His Majesty was even more happy to say that he would wait for the return of the king of the county for three days, but he would first congratulate the prince here." ”

"Zhang Gong praised, this battle is really not the power of this king, thanks to the power of firearms!" Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile, pointed at Xia Hongsheng again, and said, "Hahahaha, it's all the credit of this king's deputy general!" ”

Get out, you're afraid of high merit and jealousy, don't push it on this son!

Xia Hongsheng suddenly said in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he bowed and said to Zhang Liang: "The last general will meet General Manager Zhang!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't see the outside like this." Zhang Liang waved his hand and said to Xia Hongsheng: "I don't often stay in Beijing, I have a little bit of life with you, but I have heard about you from others, and you are really young!" I heard that you and the generals of Duan and Cheng are mostly commensurate with uncles and nephews, and you should have befriended them and even friends, so you are commensurate with their uncles and nephews, and you don't have to see me, and you are also commensurate with uncles and nephews, so why not? ”

"Hehehehe, don't you thank Gong Guogong for your nephew!" Li Xiaogong smiled and patted Xia Hongsheng on the shoulder.

Xia Hongsheng knew that this was Li Xiaogong reminding him, so he also stepped forward and saluted and said, "Even so, the little nephew is not polite." ”

"Hahahaha! Trench! Zhang Liang said with a smile, and then asked Li Xiaogong: "Now that the Japanese army is outside, I don't know what the prince has planned?" ”

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Don't worry, these 50,000 people in the Japanese kingdom will not be easy to capture Osaka, and now that Zhang Gong has brought enough ammunition, it will be even easier to defeat these Japanese people." ”

Li Xiaogong and Zhang Liang got together and went out of the crooked door to think about how to go to the Yin and Wa Kingdom, Xia Hongsheng stood next to him, listening to a sentence without a word, while looking at this Zhang Liang.

This person looks very imposing, and he looks very decent, how can he have a quirk of liking to raise a righteous son, and in the end he rebelled and was executed?

This shows how important it is to marry a good daughter-in-law - in history, Zhang Liang abandoned his wife and married Li. This Li is lewd, and arrogant by nature, and Zhang Liang is both fond and afraid of her. Later, the Li family had an affair with someone, but Zhang Liang adopted this person as his adopted son and named him Zhang Shenji. In addition, the Li family also likes witches, befriending wizards, and interfering in political affairs, gradually ruining Zhang Liang's reputation. And Zhang Liang was also under the wind of this Li family, indulged in the way of witchcraft, and finally listened to the slander of Fang Shi, feeling that he was destined to be the emperor's material, so he prepared to rebel, but was denounced and beheaded in Chang'an West City.

And the change of Zhang Liang's image began precisely after marrying the Li family.

Prior to this, Zhang Liang was a loyal man, and at first Li Mi made him a hussar general because of his loyalty. After Xu Shiji descended to the Tang Dynasty, he was recommended by Fang Xuanling. Later, when Li Yuan tortured him whether Li Shimin was in Shandong to unite heroes, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, so he was able to protect Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin ascended the throne and became the general of the right guard, the governor of Huaizhou, and the prince of Changping County.

As far as Xia Hongsheng knows now, Zhang Liang first entered the imperial history doctor last year, then reappointed Guangluqing, entered the title of Duke of Yanguo, and successively served as the governor of Fengzhou, Xiazhou, and Yanzhou. During his tenure, Zhang Liang often secretly sent his subordinates to detect the good and evil under his rule, suppress the strong and strong, and care for the poor and weak, so he was praised and had a very good reputation in the court. Xia Hongsheng has also heard people praise him many times in the court.

This is simply different from the image of him later in history.

It's a pity that one of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in Datang ended up like that.

Hey, for the sake of Zhang Shenwei's honest study in the military academy, living quietly, not showing mountains and dew, not pulling relationships and not patting sycophants, and ganging up with those gangs to please Ben Gongzi and begging Ben Gongzi to draw the range of exam questions is different, Ben Gongzi will help you later!

Xia Hongsheng sighed and shook his head.

"Huh? Why did the virtuous nephew shake his head, did he think that what this king said was wrong? Li Xiaogong was talking there, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng shaking his head and sighing, he turned his head and asked.

"No, no, the little nephew doesn't think the chief manager is wrong." When Xia Hongsheng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The little nephew thinks that this artillery is very powerful, but it is too heavy, it is not very convenient to carry, the production capacity is not high, and the number is not enough." Otherwise, pull more artillery, pull hundreds of them in a row, and fire them next to each other, then it is called crushing! Bulldoze all the way to Fujiwara-kyo! ”

Listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile, said a word about the heart of a young man, and then discussed the matter of fighting with Zhang Liang.

"Chief manager, I heard that General Su Dingfang Su also came with the sailor, and the little nephew has always been good friends with General Su, why don't you see him? The little nephew wants to take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do right now and go to a friend to catch up with the past. "To deal with the 50,000 troops of the Japanese State, there is no need for any means, just direct artillery bombardment, and then the cavalry will sweep the ground. There was nothing to hear, so I asked.

"Su Lie is watching the ammunition at the dock, and the virtuous nephew can go to the dock to find him." Zhang Liang said to Xia Hongsheng with a smile.

"Then let the little nephew retire! Thank you uncle! Xia Hongsheng saluted, said goodbye, and went to find Su Dingfang. (To be continued.) )
