Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 85 The future is bleak

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the time for the army to move out.

In order to ensure the suddenness of this military operation, apart from a few guards and horses stationed in Chang'an, the government soldiers have already assembled at the expected place.

Of course, Chai Shao and others also walked very secretly, without the strong wine before the expedition in the past, and there was no Li Shimin personally giving the seal arrow.

Overnight, the "Combat Guidance Centers" set off one by one without anyone noticing, looking north.

As for Qin Feng and the Thousand New Army, they set off earlier, and they went straight to the capital of Liang Shidu by breaking it up into pieces, and mixed into the city with various identities.

……

Shuofang.

The land belongs to the Hetao area, which was called Henan and Beijia during the Warring States Period. It was originally the territory of Zhao State, and was later occupied by the Xiongnu.

Qin Shihuang was so talented that he sent General Meng Tian to send 30 troops north to attack Hu and take Henan.However, due to the turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu regained their occupation of Shuofang.Until the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, the general of chariots and cavalry, sent troops from the clouds to Gaoque, and took Hetao back again.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent and great strategy. He emigrated many times to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Shangjun, and Beidi counties.Since then, around Shuofang, the grassland people and the Han people have fought fiercely for many times.Generally speaking, it mostly follows the trend of the times, and whichever side is stronger will belong to that side.Until the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty, Liang Shidu rebelled against the Sui Dynasty according to Shuofang County, and this place has always been under the control of Liang Shidu.

Since Shuofang was overhauled by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shuofang has always been the northern barrier of the Han nationality.The Great Wall and fortresses built to guard against the steppe people are all within the territory of Shuofang.Master Liang is in control of Shuofang, so it is not easy to get stuck in Datang's lifeline.The reason why the Turks were able to invade the North of the Tang Dynasty many times was also because Liang Shidu opened their doors.

Regarding Shuofang County, Datang had planned for a long time, but Master Liang was determined to hold on to Turk's thigh.

Although Li Shimin did not directly order the attack, Liang Shidu's life was not easy.

Because every year, when the crops were almost ripe, Datang would send out Qingqi to ravage the crops in Liang Shidu's territory, making them lose their harvest.

Before, Master Liang also sent troops to drive them away, but every time they were fooled, not only could not save the crops, but also damaged a lot of soldiers and horses.

For several years in a row, Master Liang has learned to be good, not to send troops easily.I can only watch the Tang army do whatever they want from the top of the city, and can only use verbal abuse to resolve the hatred in my heart.

The successive defeats brought Liang Shidu's soldiers to the point of collapse, and their morale was also unstable.In order to avoid becoming a prisoner, he had no choice but to retreat.Before his Turkic master took action, Liang Shi, who was a lackey, really didn't have the courage to single out Datang.

Fortunately, Liang Bu still has value to use, and Xieli helps out from time to time, otherwise, Liang Bu would have collapsed long ago.

Standing on the top of the city, smelling the fragrance of rice in the air, Liang Shidu frowned, without a trace of joy that the harvest was approaching. Past experience told him that the dilapidated army of the Tang Dynasty was approaching.

Is it because Master Liang is loyal to the Turks that he refuses to surrender?Of course not.The real reason is that Mr. Liang can't let go of the power in his hands. He is used to dominating the three acres of land. Let him go to Chang'an to be an idle official under surveillance. Would the devil be willing?Perhaps, you will enjoy the so-called prosperity and wealth in Chang'an.But when I arrived in Chang'an, I was the only fish in the house, and I was always in danger of being cleaned.

surrender?

There are all kinds of disadvantages, and Liang Shi, who is backed by the powerful Turks, will naturally not do it.

However, food and grass are controlled by others, which is not a long-term way.

Once the Turks cut off his dog food, even if the Tang Dynasty did not attack, they would not be able to support themselves.

"You have to think of a way!" Master Liang said to himself, but the brows that looked like a 90-year-old man indicated his state of mind.

Nothing can be done!

Liang Shidu has "confronted" Datang with an acre of land for many years, and Datang is nothing more than that in his eyes, so he developed an arbitrary and self-righteous temperament, so that he could not listen to other people's opinions.

Over the years, even today, there is not even a single person who can tell him a word of loyalty, let alone a countermeasure.

Not to mention officials with different surnames, even members of families with the same root and origin dare not say a word.

Master Liang didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that his subordinates were not as intelligent as him, so it didn't matter whether he listened to their advice or not.

It was not until today that Master Liang realized that there was really no one around him who he could trust.

Usually not, let alone now in a critical moment.

After much deliberation, thinking of the end, there is still nothing.

Thinking of this, Master Liang yelled angrily: "Come on, go and call General Liang Luoren for me."

Not long after, a strong man who looked very similar to Liang Shidu came to Shuofang's palace hall with strides.

"My humble minister Liang Luoren greets His Majesty."

Master Liang proclaimed himself emperor, and he had been an emperor for several years.The territory is not big, but the airs are quite high. He feels that he is the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five Supreme. Even if his uncles and brothers see him, they should respectfully call him "Your Majesty", and he must not be called a brother anymore.

Originally, Liang Luoren and Liang Shidu had a good relationship. Liang Shidu was able to kill Tang Shizong, the Prime Minister of Shuofang County, and occupy Shuofang County for rebellion.It's just that after Liang Shidu proclaimed himself emperor, he became more airy. The emperor was full of majesty, and the friendship between brothers had almost worn away in these years.Because of this, Liang Luoren only had the friendship of a monarch and a minister when Liang Shidu summoned him.

Regarding Liang Luoren's state of mind, Master Liang didn't even understand it, and felt that there was no problem. He was the Son of Heaven, so he should be superior.

"Liang Luoren, it's in vain that I trust you so much, but you have been defeated by Ni Tang time and time again. I ask you, can you keep the crops this year?"

Liang Luoren frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my inability to do anything." Not everyone is so ignorant, just relying on a mere barren and poor land, it is simply wishful thinking to fight against the Tang Dynasty that unified the world in name. Tang confrontation is tantamount to daydreaming.

General Liang Luoren has self-knowledge. He is not as good as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong in martial arts, and not as good in strategy as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Liang Luoren felt a burst of sadness when he saw Liang Shidu who couldn't see the Yellow River's heart. The so-called Liang people lost their hearts. It's really sad.

As part of the Liang family, Liang Luoren is actually not ashamed to form an alliance with the Turkic people. After all, he is also a Han Chinese. Whenever the Turkic army goes south, it is the women of Daliang who bear the brunt. Will donate a little bit of strategic materials.Whenever he saw the women in Daliang crying, Liang Luoren's heart felt as if a knife was piercing him.

"Jieli Khan is about to go south. We want to prove to the great Heavenly Khan that we are brave. No matter what method you use, you must keep this year's crops. You must not be subject to Li Ni over and over again. Find someone to go to Turkic as an envoy to see His Majesty Tian Khan, tell him the situation here, let him give an idea, or send me some soldiers and horses, let me go south to Koulue Qingzhou, Yanzhou, if they destroy my fields, I will kill their people and rob them of their rations, and see who beats the other. In this way, it can also distract Li Ni's attention, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Liang Shidu was complacent about his clever strategy, but he didn't notice the mockery flashing in Liang Luoren's eyes.

Liang Luoren also knew that this was the only way at present, so he said lightly: "Understood!" and withdrew.

Liang Luoren left the Shuozhou Imperial Palace, looked at the cloudy sky, but was thinking about another thing: whether the Liang family can go on.

As a wealthy family in Shuofang, the Liang family can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on the family tree.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enlisted criminals and refugees in Shuofang, and developed Shuofang into the first front against the grassland people.

It was at that time that the ancestors of the Liang family came to Shuofang to gain a foothold. At that time, the ancestors of the Liang family were still prisoners who had committed a felony.Slowly developing, the Liang family grew up in Shuofang step by step against difficulties.After seven or eight hundred years, the Liang family became the number one wealthy family in Shuofang, controlling the political situation in Shuofang.become a local presence.

The late Sui Dynasty is indeed a god-sent opportunity to grow the family, but opportunities are often accompanied by huge risks.At the beginning, they were confused by the bright future laid out by Liang Shidu, but now it seems that they are completely whimsical.

Liang Shidu didn't have the talent and mind of an emperor at all.The future of the Liang family is like the current weather.He could face catastrophe at any time, especially in the current situation, if the Tang Dynasty soldiers attacked, wouldn't the entire Liang family have to be buried with Master Liang?
The situation was so serious that Liang Luoren had to think about the future of the Liang family.

Even though Liang Luoren was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the "will" of Liang Shidu. Fifty clans died in Liang Shidu's hands. Death, those who were dismissed were dismissed from office, if he hadn't owned a part of the confidant army, I am afraid that the suspicious Liang Shidu would have wiped out the whole family long ago.In order not to leave anything behind, Liang Luoren could only send a few confidant soldiers to the Turks.

Life is still going on, Liang Luoren is used to living like a puppet, every day, numbly entering the palace to meet, numbly patrolling the city defense, numbly visiting the army...

Every day, he repeats meaningless things, because no matter how good his ideas are, no matter how good his military training method is, Master Liang will not agree, because Master Liang feels that he is always right. Because of his disloyalty, Liang Luoren acted according to Master Liang's "smart plan" every day.

At the end of the day, the general was exhausted.

When he got home, he looked exhausted that could not be concealed.
