Chapter 3909: Advance or Retreat
The current situation is extremely dangerous for the Guanlong clan, and there is always the possibility of overthrow. To reverse this situation, the most important things are two points: first, the six rates of the East Palace to completely occupy the Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible; second, Li Ji needs to balance it. The government attaches great importance to the government, and adopts a support strategy for the Guanlong clan to fight against the Shandong and Jiangshan clans.
Both are indispensable, so it is extremely difficult to achieve.
But this advantage is the only chance of survival for Longmen Vale. Even if he knows that there is little hope, he has to do his best.
Therefore, the Guanlong bosses gathered here nodded one after another and affirmed Changsun Wuji's countermeasures. In fact, everyone also understood that Changsun Wuji was already red-eyed at this time, and everyone just agreed with his strategy. If you dare to object, I'm afraid you will be stabbed immediately by Changsun Wuji...
Changsun Wuji looked around and was satisfied with everyone's expressions.
Although as long as the Yuwen family follows his lead, anyone who dares to resist his strategy will be severely suppressed by him, and he will definitely be able to completely defeat any clan, but he does not want to do that if it is not necessary.
Since everyone is aware of the situation, the Guanlong clan is still as solid as a rock and may not be unable to fight.
*****
When the Guanlong army put all its reserves into battle, the small area of Taiji Palace was almost crowded with soldiers from both sides. Everyone launched a crazy attack under the urging of their respective supervising teams. Almost every moment, countless soldiers died in battle, and blood was shed. It flowed on the ground and was diluted by rainwater and flowed into ditches and lakes. The corpses were piled on top of each other densely. Every place was repeatedly fought over by both sides. Every inch of the land was soaked in blood. The fighting was so fierce that the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the mountains and rivers roared!
Faced with the crazy offensive of the Guanlong army, the Sixth Army of the East Palace could only resist stubbornly and retreated steadily. Most of the Taiji Palace had been captured, and their momentum was suppressed by the rebels.
Li Ji's command post has been moved back several times from the Taiji Palace and is currently located in Liangyi Palace. However, the rebel offensive is overwhelming like a tide. The Sixth Army of the East Palace can barely resist it. It must be moved back again soon and placed in Ganlu. near the temple.
Panic has begun to arise in the army, but Li Jing remains calm and calm. Every time a general under his command asks for instructions or an orderly soldier delivers a message, Li Jing can be seen sitting in the command post with his big horse and golden sword, looking like "Taishan is collapsing in front of us." His calm demeanor without changing his face.
This is very important for stabilizing the morale of the army. A general is the courage of a soldier. As long as the general is stable, the morale of the army will be stable. Even if he is on the verge of despair, he can still rise and fight.
Li Siwen, who was bandaged up like rice dumplings, asked in confusion: "Why didn't the commander pass on the news that the Youtun Guards had broken through the Jinguang Gate and killed them in the West City? At this moment, the bandits' army is so powerful and menacing that our soldiers will inevitably lose their morale. It’s so scattered that we should release some news to stabilize it.”
Li Jing was still sitting firmly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Don't be impatient! You are also from a military family. You should know that your father has been marching and fighting for many years and has experienced many dangerous situations. But no matter how bad the situation is, can you imagine how he would feel at a loss? ”
"This..."
Li Siwen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not a bad general, but my father has always been calm and wise. It would be almost impossible for him to lose his position."
Li Jing said: "You can lead troops in war, but how can there be a true victorious general? The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and there is never a sure-win battle. As a commander, you must prepare for the worst at all times. The qualities of a commander , not only strategizing, The key to winning a thousand-mile victory lies in being as gentle as a rock and becoming the backbone of the entire army. No matter how powerful the enemy's offensive is, it can still stand still even if the enemy is already in front of you. Raise the steel knife and don't blink! Eyelids!”
This is what he has learned from his experience in the military for many years, and he is willing to teach the young generals under his command everything he has.
For example, he has focused on writing books in recent years. Compared with military achievements and power, he cares more about inheritance.
If you can pass on everything you have learned in your life, even if you return to dust a hundred years later, your thoughts, knowledge, and military strategies are still active in the world and are passed down orally to future generations, that is a first-class official residence. , the great power lies in the more glorious and glorious things.
Li Siwen frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "In other words, even if you are scared to death, you still have to look like you are ready to die, so as to frighten the enemy and appease the morale of the soldiers?"
"...Mom!"
Li Jing held a breath in his chest and yelled angrily: "I'm so scared to death! A man walks in this world, but it only lasts for tens of years, and even emperors and generals will die, and his head has a scar as big as a bowl, what's so scary about it?" ? You coward! ”
Li Siwen looked aggrieved, but did not dare to refute...
A school lieutenant walked in quickly from outside, with a smile on his face. He came to Li Jing and saluted, and said: "Commander Qi, I just sent news from the inner gate. His Royal Highness personally rode to the Xuanwu Gate and met with Duke Guo. See you, Duke Guo has led his "Bei Ya Forbidden Army" They all surrendered, and Xuanwu Gate was opened for His Highness to pass through. Duke Guo of Yue led his troops to escort His Highness to the Youtunwei Camp outside Xuanwu Gate. Duke Guo also swore to His Highness that he would lead his troops to defend Xuanwu Gate and never give in. The rebels have taken a step beyond the realm of possibility!”
"Okay!"
When Li Siwen suddenly heard the good news, he shouted and stood up, frightening Li Jing who was about to speak...
Li Jing was so angry that he yelled: "What's wrong with you, mother-in-law? Your father is a great hero, how could he have given birth to such a coward like you?"
Li Siwen didn't care and said with joy: "His Royal Highness has left the Xuanwu Gate. Our biggest burden is gone. We can finally let go and fight. The worst is death. What's the big deal?"
Li Jing agreed with this.
Although he bears the name of "Military God", he is not someone who cherishes his reputation and can accept failure calmly, even at the cost of his life. He didn't care at all whether his body or reputation was ruined or everything was in vain.
Victory is a joy, defeat is also joy.
This is the realm of life he has realized while living in a secluded mansion these years...
But if the victory or defeat is related to the life and death of the prince, the survival of the Eastern Palace, or even the inheritance of Guo Zuo, then that is something he cannot bear.
At this moment, the prince has withdrawn from Xuanwu Gate, and the Youtun Guards are responsible for protecting him. Even if Donggong Liu leads the entire army and is annihilated, what will happen?
You can let go and fight!
He stood up suddenly and came to the map hanging on the wall. He looked at it carefully, thought about it briefly, and then ordered: "Call all armies to continue the previous strategy, camp step by step, and lure the enemy deeper. Before I give orders, , all armies must not fight to the death with the enemy without authorization!”
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the captain quickly went out to convey the military order to the various armies.
Li Siwen stood behind Li Jing and asked curiously: "Since the prince has withdrawn, we should give it a try. The Youtun Guards have entered the city. We will surely gain victory by taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, but the commander ordered all the troops to lure the enemy." Go deep, what’s the use?”
Li Jing smiled slightly and tapped his finger on the map: "This map marks the current situation. The distribution and dynamics of the enemy and ourselves are clear at a glance. However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he cannot focus on this map. .”
Li Siwen looked confused and said cooperatively: "Where should I put it?"
This cooperation made Li Jing feel very comfortable. He drew a huge circle around the periphery of the map with his hand, wrapping the entire map inside, and proudly said: "The commander's eyes must be focused on the battlefield, and ultimately must be separated from the battlefield." The battlefield rises to the whole world.”
"The world?"
Li Siwen became more and more puzzled. At the moment, it was just a mutiny in Chang'an City, and it spread to the entire Guanzhong. How could the changing and turbulent situation in the world determine the victory or defeat of the mutiny in Chang'an?
Li Jing stroked his beard and taught Li Siwen the words he had heard from Fang Jun. He naturally showed no embarrassment about "plagiarism": "War has always been a continuation of politics. If you cannot grasp the changes in politics, how can you achieve success?" A war born of politics? ”
Li Siwen's eyes widened, with a big question mark on his forehead.
Li Jing was a good teacher and was good at tempting people. He put his finger near the West Market and said: "Youtun Guards have already attacked here. With the Youtun Guards' powerful combat power and well-equipped equipment, no Guanlong army can stop its overwhelming offensive. ”
The finger moved to the Taiji Palace again: "At this time, all the Guanlong troops who broke into the Taiji Palace knew that Youtun Guards had entered the city, and their troops were bound to panic. At the moment, it seemed that the offensive was overwhelming, but as long as the occupation changed slightly, the situation would immediately change. . Tell yourself, what will be the most direct change?" (End of Chapter)
