On the side of Shuzhong, it fell into a state of confrontation again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Tang Zhou's strength is already much stronger, it is even possible to have a tough battle with the rebels.
But if they attack the city, their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are obviously not enough, because the casualties of the siege are very heavy, and if the troops are not four or five times the strength of the troops in the city, the chances of winning the siege are not very great.
What's more, the number of people Tang Zhou can really use to attack the city is not very large, after all, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses left to guard the Sword Gate.
Tang Zhou will not attack Yizhou City, and Liu Bai will not send people to attack Jianmen Pass, after all, Jianmen Pass will be more easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Both sides are waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for who finally can't wait.
At the same time, Li Ji was fighting with Tubo with his soldiers and horses.
Although there have been disasters in Datang from time to time in recent years, because of the soybean planting in the north in autumn, and the rice and wheat planted in the south, Datang's grain reserves are still okay.
Therefore, although there are wars in Shuzhong and Tubo, grain and grass are not a problem.
And after Li Ji fought with Tubo, he was not as cautious as Tang Zhou, and after he met with the Tubo army, he directly came to a tough battle.
In Li Ji's view, if you want to end the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo as soon as possible, you must first play the military might of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tubo will be jealous of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tubo voice their fear in their hearts, and it will be much easier to defeat them next.
Li Ji's use of soldiers is expensive.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Tubo came to a death battle on the border, the people of Tubo were very strong, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not lose to them at all, and the Mo knife team of the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and the people of Tubo had already seen it in Songzhou City, this time, Li Jing did not mind letting them see it again.
When the two sides started a war, they fought directly, Li Ji was proficient in the art of war, and immediately after the battle, he put out a formation to trap the Tubo army in it, which severely frustrated their spirit.
In this battle, Li Jing frequently changed his formation, and finally used the Mo Dao team to kill people like cutting melons, which made this battle defeat the arrogance of Tubo and their psychological defense line in one fell swoop, so that although they did not retreat, they easily did not dare to fight with Datang again.
Although there were casualties on both sides, the casualties in Tubo were obviously more, and they were more afraid.
However, after this battle, Li Ji did not continue to take the initiative.
took the initiative to attack before, in order to combat the arrogance of Tubo, otherwise he thought that Datang was easy to bully and come back frequently, which would be too unbearable, since this is the case, it is better to be afraid of him first, and then wait for him to be honest, and then slowly clean him up.
Now that Tubo has fear, the next thing Li Ji has to do is to make Tubo careless.
He sent someone to send a letter to those people in Tianzhu, asking the people of Tianzhu to send troops to harass the border of Tibet, it doesn't matter if there is a war or not, but as long as it can harass Tibet.
Tianzhu is now subservient to the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xuance is still in Tianzhu, so it is not very difficult to implement these, as long as Tianzhu burns and disturbs Tubo, Tubo will definitely divide forces to deal with those people, so it is almost impossible for the remaining Tubo army here to fight with the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ji's troops are strong in the end, and they don't need to attack the city, as long as they can fight.
After the news of Li Ji's victory in the first battle reached the capital Chang'an, the ministers of the court and the central government were very excited.
In the early days of the day, the people in the military department muttered a lot, all of them praised Li Ji.
And just after the people from the military department finished speaking, Wang Renyou, who was promoted to the Duke of Wei, suddenly stood up and said: "Saint, the British Duke is really my good general of the Tang Dynasty, but the British Duke is powerful, and some people are too disappointing." ā
As soon as Wang Renyou said this, the ministers were suddenly a little puzzled, and the eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is Wei Guogong referring to?" ā
Wang Renyou said: "Who else can it be, naturally it is our Tang Zhou Tang Xiaohou Ye, he has been in Shuzhong for a long time, but he has not seen results for a long time, it is really incomprehensible and disappointing." ā
When Wang Renyou said this, the eldest grandson Wuji and other people in the court frowned slightly, and they quickly understood what Wang Renyou meant.
This Wang Renyou is the father of the current queen Wang Queen, after the queen was canonized, Wang Renyou was awarded the title of Duke of Wei, and Queen Wang also has an uncle, named Liu Zheng, who is now serving as a scholar in the middle.
Because of the power of the queen and queen, the two also gathered a lot of forces in the court, and became the Longxi forces formed by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, as well as the Hanmen forces led by Ma Zhou, as well as the foreign relatives forces that competed with the power of those families.
Now the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang have the greatest influence in the court because of their relationship with the ministers of Tuogu, and after Su Wuwei left, Li Zhi discussed many things with the two of them.
Wang Renyou, as the national ruler, couldn't stand it very much, so he thought about competing with the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, the power of the relatives is not weak, although the eldest grandson Wuji is also a relative, but he rarely integrates into this circle, because he has a larger and more stable circle, the Longxi force.
Relatives, from ancient times to the present, has been criticized by people, the eldest grandson Wuji has a better identity, why rush here, he is still Li Zhi's uncle, but he just doesn't run into relatives, he just wants to be the leader of the powerful forces.
Therefore, although they are all relatives, the two sides will still fight for the sake of interests.
It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji is very shrewd and easily doesn't leave a handle, so Wang Renyou can't find it, so he has to find the fault of other people who have a good relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he suddenly found Tang Zhou's body.
After Tang Zhou went to Shuzhong, there was no good news coming, Wang Renyou felt that this was an opportunity, so he was ready to seize it and belittle Tang Zhou fiercely.
In fact, he didn't have any enmity with Tang Zhou, he just couldn't get used to seeing the eldest grandson Wuji, and Tang Zhou became a victim of the power struggle between the two sides.
After Wang Renyou finished speaking, before the eldest grandson Wuji could speak, Cheng Yanjin suddenly stood up and snorted: "You Wang Renyou, what do you mean by this, how long has the Tang family kid been in Shuzhong, do you think that the counterinsurgency is peaceful, if you think it is peaceful, you go, you don't have any ability, what are you talking nonsense here?" ā
His own kid followed Tang Zhou to Shuzhong, Wang Renyou said that Tang Zhou had no ability, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that his family's Cheng Chu was silent, and Cheng bit Jin and immediately stood up.
Cheng Yanjin shouted like this, and Wei Chigong also stood up: "Yes, Lu Guogong is right, this counterinsurgency is not an overnight thing, and Tang Zhou is deeply aware of the essence of Wei Gong's art of war, there is no news at this time, maybe he is just waiting for the opportunity." ā
After the two finished speaking, Wang Renyou pursed his lips with disdain, and said: "Hmph, wait for the opportunity, I think he is clearly a person who can only talk on paper, he can't really fight." ā
