The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 195 Reluctant Attack, Last Stand

Following Liang Wang Xiao's call-up, he had already been dismissed, and Gong Yuan, who was at home leisurely, couldn't help but immediately put on his neat court uniform again.

Run to the palace now!
…………

"Report, report to King Liang."

"General Gong Yuan has already arrived outside the palace, do you want to let him in?"

Suddenly, the guards guarding the palace quickly rushed to Xiao Xian's bedroom, kneeling down and asking.

"Let Gong Yuan in!"

Following Xiao Mian's consent, the guard did not dare to be negligent, and hastily agreed to resign and leave.

After a long time, the general walked into the bedroom with steady steps and a vigorous posture, clasped his fists in greeting and said, "My minister, Gong Yuan, sees King Liang."

"Wanfu, King Liang!"

In an instant, Gong Yuan's loud shout also startled all the officials present.

Seeing Gong Yuan and so on, Xiao Xian couldn't help cheering up, sat up and said: "General, you must be aware of the current situation."

"As our army's [-] troops in the Jingnan area were destroyed, Lei Shimeng was beheaded, and Dong Jingzhen led the remnants of the troops to linger in Changsha. It must not be long before they will be wiped out by the Sui army."

"But now, although our army still has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wangcheng, it was swept away by the Sui army along with the Jingnan area."

"Now our army has been cut off by the Sui army and has become an isolated city."

"The counselor Cen Wenwen proposed to send an envoy to the Taiping Army to ask for reinforcements, but he did not expect that all the envoys who left the city were captured by the Sui army."

"The envoy can't pass now, I wonder if you have any countermeasures for the next step?"

For a moment, Xiao Mian spoke to Gong Yuan with tears in his voice, indifferent and lonely.

There was even a look of regret in his eyes.

He regretted that he was too indecisive at the beginning, and actually replaced Gong Yuan, a veteran soldier, in front of the battle.

In the end, one hundred thousand of our own army was easily defeated by the Sui army and captured.

Xiao Xian believed that if he hadn't dismissed Gong Yuan, Xiangyang, an important city, would not have been attacked by the Sui army.

In this way, the [-] elite of our own army will definitely not fall into the hands of the Sui army.

Even if it took [-] steps back, Xiangyang was still attacked by the Sui army.

But if the commander-in-chief of the army is Gong Yuan, then our army will not be wiped out by the Sui army.

Gong Yuan will definitely find a way to lead the whole army back safely.

It's just that since Xiangjiang's defeat, Xiao Xian's heart has been hit hard.

Every time I think of myself changing Gong Yuan, I feel an indescribable pain.

There is also a deep regret buried in the bottom of my heart.

Hearing Xiao Xian asking himself, Gong Yuan couldn't help thinking hard for a moment.

After a long time, Gong Yuan responded with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Now my main beam has been destroyed, and only a corner of the royal city is left."

"If you don't have the help of external force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the advance of the Sui army."

"Thus, I think that now our army can only go out of the city and fight with our backs!"

As Gong Yuan slowly revealed his plan, all the ministers in the bedroom showed fear.

One of the civil servants showed a little fear, and said: "General, you must know that Gao Qi's Yanmen Army are all bloody elites fighting against the Hu people in northern Xinjiang."

"If the [-] elite divisions of our army are still alive, we can still compete with them!"

"But now there are tens of thousands of people in the city, but the combat effectiveness is worrying. How can they be the opponents of the Sui army when they go out of the city to fight?"

"Therefore, I think that we have to do our best to defend the city, waiting for a turning point, and not to act rashly and go out of the city to fight."

Hearing the disapproval of the timid civil servant, Gong Yuan couldn't help showing a sarcasm immediately.

Immediately he sneered and said, "Hehe, defending the city?"

"I don't know if you have heard the truth of 'Long guard is bound to lose'?"

"If our army doesn't make the slightest counterattack at this time, I'm afraid that the defense line that the Sui army has set up outside the city will only become stronger and stronger."

"Moreover, once the Sui army is allowed to pacify the last idiot in the Jingnan area, Dong Jingzhen's department, and move northward."

"Then how will Jiangling City use its isolated city to fight against the Sui army?"

For a moment, Gong Yuan couldn't help but sternly, with a bad tone, roaring with righteous words.

After listening to Gong Yuan's analysis, although all the officials were opposed to going out of the city to fight.

But Xiao Mian's attitude was extremely firm this time, and he did not back down at all. Not only did he appoint Gong Yuan as the generalissimo of the governor of Xiaoliang on the spot, but he also took charge of all the soldiers and horses, and was fully responsible for going out of the city to fight the Sui army.

There are several reasons why Xiao Mian resolutely obeyed Gong Yuan this time.

One is because during the Northern Expedition, Gong Yuan was obviously not at fault, but he was replaced by himself.

Feeling guilty in Xiao Xian's heart, this time let Gong Yuan command the whole army again, it's not like he didn't want to trust again.

The second is that from the initial change of generals, almost one-third of the officials gathered with the guards from all over the country to impeach Gong Yuan and ask for his dismissal. In the end, the army suffered a disastrous defeat.

From this, Xiao Xian already knew that all the officials in the court could not be trusted.

Because, apart from suppressing dissidents, framing Zhongliang, and fighting for power and profit, they only care about their own interests, but they don't think about the country at all.

Therefore, now Xiao Xian will fully trust Gong Yuan and let him command the last tens of thousands of troops.

After all, Gong Yuan is a veteran who followed him more than ten years ago, and he is absolutely loyal to him.

It is only said that after Gong Yuan took over the military power, he trained soldiers in batches in the school grounds in the city.

For a time, the sounds of fighting and training in Jiangling City were endless!
…………

"Report, General! The latest news came from the city, the rebel Xiao Xian has reactivated Gong Yuan as general."

"And let him take full responsibility for the military going out of the city to fight our army."

"For the past few days, Gong Yuan has been training sergeants in the school grounds every day."

For a while, only one person quickly entered Gao Qi's main account and reported with his swift lightness kung fu.

This person is one of the shadow members formed by Wang Xuance.

And his mission happened to be to sneak into Jiangling City, so as to inquire about the military situation in the city for the army.

When he was in Yanmen, Gao Qi decided to ask Wang Xuance to form the Anbu.

So far, it's only been a year.

But Wang Xuance has already created the forces in Anbu's early stage.

Although the scale of the Anbu is still small, it is far from the ability to infiltrate high-level forces and act as an assassin.

But within a year, the shadow forces can sneak into various places to inquire about the military situation of the whole army like a ghost.

It can be seen from this that the Anbu forces formed by Wang Xuance are extraordinary!
After the shadow members explained everything that happened in Jiangling City to Gao Qi, they continued to sneak out of the tent with the elusive kung fu and disappeared.

…………

Immediately, Gao Qi, who had received accurate information, immediately summoned all the generals to announce that he ordered all the generals to organize their troops and horses in order to face the counterattack of the rebels at any time.

Although none of the generals knew how Gao Qi got the news that the rebels would go out of the city to fight.

But after a long time, they also knew that Gao Qi would not target without reason, so they also chose to obey.

Finally, after several days in a row, Gong Yuan finally stopped training the entire army.

Organize all the ministries to slowly drive out of the city, and slowly attack towards the defense line of the Yanmen Army!

What kind of ending will a life-and-death battle of Xiao Liang's army lead to?
