King of Song

Chapter 582 Soft Persimmons

Swear to the death to stick to Qingtang City!
Qing Yi can do it with a ghost seal, but he can't guarantee [-]% that Qing Tang City will be safe and sound.Because the opponent is Lin Zhao, an unpredictable and terrifying opponent, who knows what clever tricks he will have inadvertently?

With this person, everything is possible!

If you still can't hold it in the end, then Tubo's national fortune will come to an end.With the worries in her heart and some lack of self-confidence, Qing Yijie Guizhang dared not speak out.Otherwise, the morale of the army will be shaken, and the situation will be even worse.As for not reporting what is known, and deceiving others, these are all indifferent.

I believe that Zanpu knows the risks and possible outcomes. What is needed at this time is tacit understanding and tacit support and cooperation between the monarch and his subjects.

In short, do everything you can to defend the city.He wants to see, what kind of means does Lin Zhao have?This is a head-to-head duel between the two, and it is also the final peak duel.If he wins, then the shame of stepping on Baicheng will disappear, and it is definitely a very happy thing to be humiliated.

If you lose, you will use your life to repay Zanpu's kindness, and disappear with the Tubo Dynasty, and everything will be over.

Between life and death, nothing more than that?Qing Yijie Guizhang has long been bearish. !
After leaving the palace, he went to set up the city defense. Although the Song army was still dozens of miles away, Gui Zhang knew very well that without a tall city wall, it could not stop the Song army's advance.

It will be a matter of time before the troops come to the city completely. The city wall needs to be strengthened, and the city defense needs to be cautious.Fortunately, the grain and grass reserves in the city are not bad, and they can last long enough.

The victory or defeat of this war may be determined by time. How long can I last?How long can Lin Zhao last?It is definitely a very troublesome and expensive thing to transport grain and grass during an expedition.How long can Song Jun last at such a price?At this moment, the competition is the endurance of both sides.

In fact, the most vulnerable part of the Song army may be the food road. If the Song army's food road can be cut off, maybe they will collapse without a fight.However, the main force of Tubo is concentrated in Qingtang City and the western region, and there is no force to harass the Song Army's grain road.

As for the remaining tribes on the way, such as Mozhijiao, another brother of Dong Zhan, and Wen Nazhi Yingcheng of Miaochuan City, the strength of these people did not suffer much, and the Song Army seemed to be deliberately avoiding these big tribes. tribe.And send envoys to communicate with them, promise rewards and benefits, and stabilize their position.

For Lin Zhao, the Song army needed to go straight in and conquer Qingtang City in the fastest time.As for these tribes, they are not very important, so don't provoke them. If you can recruit them, you can spend more time and money.After stabilizing these people, the Song army's attack really went straight in without any impact.As long as Qingtang City is captured and Hehuang is in hand, these small tribes will naturally obey.

The same Tubo people, but at such a critical time, they have their own ulterior motives and help the tyrants to abuse them. It's really annoying!Qing Yijie Guizhang was very helpless, he knew that the facts were doomed, those people had no hope.

On the contrary, Li Jingcheng is still a large army. Although it is in the rear, it is also possible to make a detour.Furthermore, to stick to the city, apart from high walls and deep pools, sufficient food and grass, and soldiers who fought bravely, there is also one more thing that is crucial, that is, reinforcements.

It is a tactical need to cooperate with the inside and the outside.At the same time, the existence of reinforcements is also an encouragement to the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the city.So this army in Li Jingcheng is very important!

It is necessary to mobilize the army of Li Jingcheng. Those restless tribes in the west are no longer important. As long as Qingtang City is kept, everything can be taken back.There are gains and losses, and everything is like this. At this moment, the overall situation is the most important, and some disappearances are no longer important.

Under such circumstances, Li Jingcheng needs someone to take charge of the overall situation, but who should it be?Qing Yijie Guizhang felt that he needed to discuss it with Zanpu.

Although this matter is very urgent, it can't be hasty, as long as the decision is made before the Song army encircles Qingtang City, and the people are sent out, everything will be in time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"General, there are still thirty miles away from Qingtang City!" Zhong Shidao came to report the battle situation to Lin Zhao.

"It's been a long time, and there's still no progress?" Lin Zhao's tone of inquiry was very flat, but it made people feel very stressed.

Master Zhong apologized and explained: "Huangshuichuan is the last barrier of Qingtang City. There is a small city here. The Tubo people hold on tenaciously. It takes time to break through!"

"It's okay, just attack with all your strength. It's not bad to be able to hit a place thirty miles away from Qingtang City in one breath. People must know how to be content!" Lin Zhao said: "At this time, the Tibetans are so persistent, it is completely because of Reasonably, it's not surprising!"

"General, don't worry, we will definitely conquer it as soon as possible!" Zhong Shidao promised solemnly.

"I believe in you!" Lin Zhao patted Zhong Shidao on the shoulder, turned around and looked at the Hehuang sand table behind him.This is the Hehuang terrain sand table that Wang Shao sent to investigate, and Shen Kuo made it himself. When he came, Lin Zhao disassembled it, pulled it by a sled, and used it at any time.Three-dimensional, after all, it is much more convenient to look at than the inaccurate map, and it is also easy to make accurate judgments at any time.

"Uncle Yi, Qingtang City is important, but it's definitely not easy to fight!"

Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "This is the capital city of Hehuang. The city is already tall and the Tubo people will definitely defend it with all their might. The difficulty is certain. Li Liangzuo once led an army to attack the city, but it failed in the end..."

"Let's not worry about Qingtang City for now. You need to pay attention to strategy in war. The basic principle is to first make it difficult and then easy." Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, it can also be said to be soft persimmons!"

"That's how it should be. It's easy to knock off your teeth if you bite a hard bone!" Mr. Zhong said as a joke, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

"By the way, what's the situation in Qingtang City? There is news!" Lin Zhao first asked for information based on the principle of knowing oneself, knowing the enemy and winning every battle.

"Someone suggested Zanpu Dong Zhan to leave Qingtang City and avoid Lijing City temporarily, but Dong Zhan refused and said that he would stick to Qingtang City." Master Zhong said: "At present, Qing Yijie Guizhang is the main general and is in charge of guarding the city. The city is currently stepping up its defenses."

"Well, very good!" At present, Tubo's defense is tight. In this case, there is still information to be delivered.Although Lin Zhao didn't know what methods the people below used, he was very satisfied with the result.

"Qing Yi knots a ghost seal, this man has a good strategy of war, if he defends the city, it may be more troublesome to attack the city!" Zhong Shidao was a little worried, the biggest opponent in the battle of Hehuang was this man.

"Don't forget, we are picking soft persimmons. Since Qingyi's ghost seal is not easy to eat, then don't worry about Qingtang City, take a look here first!"

Zhong Shidao looked up and saw a white wooden stick in Lin Zhao's hand, pointing right at Li Jingcheng.

"Attack Li Jing City first?"

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "No, Qingtang City can't be bypassed. What do you think is the basis for Qingyi to stick to it? The reason why Dong Zhan doesn't leave is where is his confidence?"

"There is food and grass inside, and reinforcements outside!" Zhong Shidao looked at the sand table carefully and gave the answer.

"That's right, we can't make up our minds about Li's food and grass in Qingtang City, so we can only think of a way outside!" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "If there is no reinforcements, your Qingyi knot Guizhang and Dong Zhan can still calm down ?"

"I don't know if they are calm or not, but it's true that the soldiers guarding the city will not be calm!" Master Zhong laughed.

"That's right, if you want to stick to it, a solid military spirit is the foundation. Otherwise, even if Qingyi has great abilities, what can he do?"

Zhong Shidao worried: "It's not easy to destroy this support army, even if we ambush halfway, the difficulty is not small!"

"One raging soldier, one raging general, what if this army has a commander who is useless?" Lin Zhao smiled; "A strong fortress is easiest to break from the inside!"

Seeing Lin Zhaoyun's bland smile, Zhong Shidao knew that the general must have plotted against him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Qingtang City, the news that a general is needed to go to Li Jingcheng to command the army back has spread.

This is a very important task. This person's ability is one aspect, which is very important.After all, if you want to command a large army, without a certain military strategy, the ability to lead the army and defend against the enemy is definitely not enough.Another one is loyalty, to be exact, Zanpu's trust!
Now Hehuang Tubo's forces are mainly divided into two parts, one part is defending in Qingtang City, and the other part is in Lijing City.Sending out one person undoubtedly handed over half of Hehuang's troops.If this person has two hearts, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, this candidate must be someone Zanpu trusts or is close to!
When it comes to trust and closeness, who can compare with the two princes?Aligu and Lin Bubi are Zanpu's sons, and they immediately became popular candidates.

Lin Bubi was restless at home when he got the news!

In terms of military talent, Ali Gu is definitely above himself, and he must have no problem commanding a large army.At this point, I have many shortcomings.

But when it comes to trust, Aligu is not Zanpu's biological son anyway.In case he went to Li Jingcheng and had a second heart, what should he do?You can't do things like losing your wife and losing your army.This is Lin Bubi's advantage, he knows that his father must be biased towards him in his heart.

Zanpu and the prince guarded a place separately, and each other had horns. There are many such traditions, and it also meets the expectations of the soldiers and civilians.From this point of view, I still have some advantages.

But after all, when marching and fighting, the art of war must be considered first, and Lin Bubi is not confident that he can win!

This task, this position, is too important to him.But if this opportunity is lost and Ali Gu controls Li Jingcheng, will he still have a foothold in the future?

It's all over!
Lin Bubi is unwilling to see such a result anyway, but how can he stop Ali Gu?When he was at a loss, someone came to visit him!
