Chapter 3022 Jian'an City is destroyed
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Zhu Suiliang lightly, stroked his beard and remained silent.
Zhu Suiliang's psychological quality is naturally much worse than those "old oil men" who have been immersed in the court for many years. He usually talks about calligraphy and appreciates calligraphy and paintings with His Majesty Li Er in private. His Majesty Li Er usually has a gentle and gentle smile. Now facing Li Er, His Majesty, His Majesty Tianwei, was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and could not even breathe.
In the past, when he accompanied His Majesty Li Er, he could always figure out His Majesty Li Er's likes and dislikes, and his words and deeds were all in his favor. Therefore, he was able to win the favor of His Majesty Li Er and became the most favored minister around the emperor. This even made him the emperor's favorite minister. His Majesty Li Er is willing to cultivate him in his official career.
However, at this moment, when he looked at His Majesty Li Er's cold eyes, he found that he could not figure out his thoughts at all, let alone how he should respond.
The so-called emperor's mind is generally elusive, and there is no trace of the antelope's horns...
Everyone felt the coldness released by His Majesty Li Er's silence. Just when everyone was wondering whether His Majesty Li Er would kill Changsun Wuji, the former "number one honorable minister" at this critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, suddenly Seeing His Majesty Li Er, he smiled and said, "What Chu Siye said makes sense. Auxiliary machine, it is a good thing to be kind and virtuous. Tang Geng should face the world with a benevolent heart, but now in the battlefield, it is either you or me who will die. He rashly shows benevolence to the enemy, but he doesn't know how to face millions of tigers in the pond? Confucius said: Repay the enemy with a straight sword! If the enemy's sword attacks my tiger, he will certainly return it with a steel sword! ”
Changsun Wuji broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty is wise! I am the old minister who was confused. Please forgive me."
He didn't dare to say any more words of "please apologize". His Majesty Li Er was in a very strange state today, and he seemed to be very murderous. If the tide went by and "accomplished" him, it would be very bad.
If he were in Chang'an and worried about all aspects, His Majesty Li Er would naturally not be cruel to him. However, this is the military, where the commander follows his instructions and holds true to his word. The life and death of anyone is controlled by his hands. Anyone who violates military discipline and shows his head outside the gate is no joke...
< br>
His Majesty Li Er laughed and raised his riding whip: "Get up, discuss in front of the army, naturally speak freely, what is the crime? Zhao Guogong is too strict."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Changsun Wuji quickly stood up and wiped his sweaty forehead with his robe sleeves. When he turned his head, he saw Cheng Wuting looking towards him and grinning, showing a row of big white teeth: "The general is just discussing the matter. Mr. Zhao Guogong is very generous. Don’t take it to heart.”
Changsun Wuji wished he could kill this bastard with a single blow, but he smiled gently: "General Cheng is a young hero who is aggressive and forward-looking. I was the same way back then. It's just that things have gone by and I'm a little older. I've seen I have experienced too many ups and downs, but now I am more in awe.”
There was a smile on his face, but there was a knife hidden in his words.
What about the youthful energy? The ups and downs in the court are prepared for people like you. Only after you have suffered enough and gone through hardships can you know how to be respectful...
Cheng Wuting understood it naturally, but was not annoyed at all. He smiled and said: "Zhao Guogong is an elder. He is broad-minded and supports those who are struggling. He is really a role model for our generation. The prince was also taught by Zhao Guogong back then, and now he is greatly respected for his kindness. The praise from both the government and the public is all due to Duke Zhao.”
Sometimes I understand, but I just pretend not to understand.
Isn't it just talking in a weird way? Who can't or how...
These words are indeed a bit sinister. The prince is indeed kind and forgiving, and the world admires him, but which bone in Changsun Wuji's body can be associated with "generousness"? He is labeled as a "yin person", who specializes in hiding knives in his smile and being a shady person behind his back...
When the prince was young, Changsun Wuji also taught Dong Gong, but later he gradually became alienated from the prince for unknown reasons. First he supported the King of Wei, and later he supported the King of Jin, vowing to remove the prince from the throne. It is indeed a huge irony that a "yin man" who is narrow-minded and unyielding for his vengeance has taught a forgiving and kind prince. Cheng Wuting's words simply said clearly: The reason why you, the old man, parted ways with the prince is because of you. His behavior style is incompatible with or even contrary to the prince's, because the prince's nature is "benevolence and forgiveness".
This is a slap in Changsun Wuji's face.
However, at this time, what could Changsun Wuji say? The status difference between the two is too great. Even if he can press Cheng Wu to the ground and rub him, who will say that Changsun Wuji is more capable? He would only laugh at him for bullying the small ones.
"Haha, General Cheng is a young hero with a bright future."
Changsun Wuji sneered and stood aside, no longer paying attention to Cheng Wuting who was looking for trouble like a hedgehog.
From the bottom of my heart, I have to admire Fang Jun's ability to control people. Although he is a tough guy, he is also the kind of character who doesn't care. He protects his relatives, friends, old friends, and subordinates at critical moments, which makes everyone respect him more and more. Dead-set.
As long as they are Fang Jun's enemies or opponents, these people will jump out to attack regardless of the occasion...
Cheng Wuting chuckled: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao Guo, for the compliment. I feel ashamed to deserve it."
Naturally, I won’t say more.
Cheng Minzhen stood aside, holding a knife in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, looking at his son with undisguised joy.
This is how a man should be. He has a clear stand and is not afraid of power. As long as he finds his own path, he must go on without any scruples and clearly mark his faction on his forehead. Only in this way can he stay within his own faction. get reused.
Who will rely on you as a confidant and help you as a submissive person who weighs the pros and cons?
In a word, men must be arrogant!
Whether facing the enemy on the battlefield or facing the opponent in the court, you must show the kind of domineering power that is not afraid of power, be unscrupulous and have a clear-cut flag!
His Majesty Li Er was obviously very optimistic about Cheng Wuting. He looked at him with a smile and praised: "This guy is good!"
Cheng Mingzhen was even more overjoyed and quickly pulled Cheng Wuting to bow and salute: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"
"Woooooo——"
The low sound of horns sounded on the other side of the river. Everyone looked up and saw countless Tang troops attacking Jian'an City like a tide, which was still burning in the night.
The torch-like Jian'an City is like an isolated island under the lapping of the tide, and it will be overwhelmed anytime and anywhere.
Obviously, the general attack has begun.
His Majesty Li Er was quite surprised, and his face turned gloomy: "How long has it been since the general attack started?"
When an army attacks a city, the casualties are the most severe. If the enemy resists tenaciously, the casualties will only be even greater. Therefore, generally speaking, only when the city wall is captured at a certain point in the enemy city, a general attack will be launched. This will lead to a breakthrough, then capture the city wall, enter the inner city, and start street fighting.
But how long has it been?
There are tens of thousands of defenders in Jian'an City. Even if some of them are burned to death by the power of fire bombs, the strength of the guards on the city wall will not be reduced much. A hasty attack on the city will inevitably lead to increased casualties.
The Tang army is naturally not afraid of casualties. Even if the absolute numerical advantage is exchanged for one, it is enough to wipe out all the Goguryeo troops. However, this kind of reckless attrition is absolutely not allowed by His Majesty Li Er.
Every soldier is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Although they must make sacrifices for victory, they cannot die under the enemy's city so lightly.
He regards his people as nothing but grass, so what's the difference between him and Yang Guang?
Zhu Suiliang hurriedly said: "I will go and call the British Duke over for questioning!"
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the river bank.
His Majesty Li Er, as the commander-in-chief, conducts the expedition in person, but he does not have to do everything personally. Since there are famous generals like Li Ji around him, he is only responsible for the formulation of strategies, and the specific operational command is naturally done by Li Ji. At this time, Li Ji had gone to the river bank to direct the siege.
After a while, Li Ji returned with Zhu Suiliang and came to His Majesty Li Er and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that it is not because of the recklessness of the humble ministers. It is just because the number of defenders at the top of Jian'an City is small and their morale is low. Many city tops have been destroyed by our troops." Climb up, so Wei Chen issued the order for a general attack and attacked the city in one fell swoop to establish victory. ”
His Majesty Li Er wondered: "How come there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, but no one is defending the city?"
Li Jidao said: "I don't know the situation in the city, but the scouts have already entered the city with the army, and the details of the situation in the city will be reported back later."
His Majesty Li Er hummed, looked up and saw Jian'an City burning like a torch. Countless Tang troops had climbed to the top of the city with ladders, and the city was filled with water like a tide. Immediately, the Tang army climbed over the wall and pushed back the enemy troops at the city gate. They opened the heavy city gate from the inside, and the densely packed Tang army outside swarmed in and entered the city. (End of chapter)
