Chapter 30 Outside Attack 1

After the Daqi uprising army occupied Chang'an, the forces of Li Tang's vassal towns to prevent them from being defeated by the Rebels, so they basically sent troops to pay in accordance with the military deployment of the Li Tang court and stepped up the suppression of the rebels in various places. Due to the serious food shortage in Chang'an City, although the main force of the Rebel Army has won a series of victories in Shaanxi, most of them defeated the Tang army all the way to several roads, and the grain and fodder captured was not much. In this way, months passed in a flash, and the life of the main force of the Rebel Army in Chang'an became more and more difficult.

Huang Chao is very depressed and often uses wine to drown his sorrows and think hard about raising food. One day, Huang Chao was sitting alone in the Hanyuan Hall, reading the military book, and his own soldiers came to report: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Zhao Zhang asked to see you!"

"Captain Zhao, please come in!" Huang Chao replied.

In a moment, Zhao Zhang entered the hall and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is very interested. You must be reading a military book, hehe!"

Huang Chao closed the military letter and stroked his palm and laughed: "Brother Zhao Zhang is like a roundworm in my stomach. He can't hide anything from you!"

Zhao Zhang pulled his robe, restrained his smile, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, Li Yan recently ordered Song Wentong to replace Zheng Wei as the commander of the Shaanxi encirclement and suppressors. Song Wentong had a deep understanding of military tactics. He contacted the Tang army in various vassal towns and adopted the tactics of solidification. Instead of fighting with our army, he sent a number of small teams and went deep into the hinterland of our army many times, which caused great trouble to our army!"

"Yes, the Tang army was frightened by our army and learned to be obedient. This method of warfare was deeply used by Sima Yi, an important minister of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. Sima Yi held a heavy army in his hand, that is, he did not fight head-on with Zhuge Kongming's Northern Expeditionary Army, but for a long time. In this way, he was consumed Zhuge Liang's life and died in Wuzhangyuan! " Huang Chao's thoughts seemed to return to the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms.

"What can I do like this?" Zhao Zhang frowned.

Huang Chao stared at Zhao Zhang: "I have been thinking about the strange shortage of food and grass for my army for many days, and I feel that this matter is very difficult. I have thought of several sets of combat plans, but in the end they were rejected by me, because my army is not fighting now, and if we must win the battle. If we can't win completely, our army's situation must be even more dangerous! In a word, Daqi can't afford to lose!"

Zhao Zhang said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask in Chai Cun's house! Although there are many wise men in Daqi, they are outstanding, no more than two people. These two are Chai Cun and Fei Chuangu. Now Chai Cun is in Chang'an, but because of the wind and cold, he hasn't been going to court for many days and has been taking medicine at home to rest. Fei Chuangu assisted Liu Ying and was working in the area of Zhejiang and Fujian. Why don't you go to Chai Cun's house to ask questions in person?

After Zhao Zhang's reminder, Huang Chao suddenly realized and patted his thigh; "Oh, look at my head, why can't you think of talking to Chai Cun brothers about the current war situation? OK, I'm going to Chai Cun's house now. Brother Zhao Zhang, you can go to Chai's house with me!"

"Okay, Weichen accompanied His Majesty to Chaifu to discuss this military event!" Zhao Zhang saluted deeply, withdrew from the hall, and waited outside for the royal driver to arrive.

In a long time, Huang Chao sat in the imperial car and came to the outside of the Hanyuan Hall under the escort of the Daqi Crane Army. Lin Yan, Kang Shiming and Li Gongdi were surrounded by three groups of personal soldiers around the imperial car, with knives and guns shining, which was majestic.

Huang Chao poked his head out of the imperial car and greeted Zhao Zhang: "Brother Zhao Zhang, come and take a bus with me and go to Chaifu to ask for a drink, hehe!"

"Obey the Holy Command!" After saying that, Zhao Zhang bowed and got into the imperial carriage.

The crane-controlling army came to Chaifu magnificently, which attracted residents along the streets of Chang'an to come out and look at it.

There was nothing to say on the road, and the imperial driver successfully entered Chaifu.

When the gatekeeper of Chaifu saw that Emperor Daqi came to the house in person, he quickly entered and reported Chai Cun.

Chai Cun was lingering in a sick bed at this time, coughing, and his wife Jin Yu looked melancholy.

Chai Cun ordered his servants, "Your Majesty, please go to the living room to talk. I will get up now and meet you in the living room!"

Jin Yu muttered, "Look at you, you are sick like this, and you have to strengthen the sick body and perform the salute of the king and minister!"

Chai Cun ignored Jin's words and got up. As soon as he put on his robe, Huang Chao and Zhao Zhang quickly walked in.

When Huang Chao saw that Chai Cun's face was yellow and skinny, he couldn't help but feel like a knife: "Brother Chai Cun, go to bed and rest. Let's discuss things in this bedroom!"

Chai Cun had to lean against the head of the bed again and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to come to welcome me due to illness. Sister Ying, go and make tea for Your Majesty and Lieutenant Zhao!"

Jin Yu answered and walked out of the bedroom.

In the room, there are only Huang Chao, Chai Cun and Zhao Zhang, who are the leaders at the highest level in Daqi.

Huang Chao explained the meaning, and Chai Cun listened quietly.

"Are you done?" Chai Cun asked.

"It's over, brother Chai Cun, tell me what you can do!" Huang Chao's face was burning.

"Although I'm sick in bed, I've been worried about this!" Chai Cun said with a hard time.

"Brother Chai Cun, say it quickly!" Zhao Zhang urged.

Chai Cun began to make a macro discussion: "Any major event must be determined by the times, which is the so-called time, place and people. Only those who get all three can make great achievements. Now Daqi has got the time and people, but they have not got the advantage of the land. I have seen all the vassal towns of Li and Tang in China. Although they defend each other and have ghosts, they are consistent in dealing with the Daqi uprising army. Because of this, although the Daqi army occupied Erjing and parts of China, the situation became more and more tight because Li Tangfan towns were fortified and defended from time to time. Because of the lack of food, the reduction of volunteers is becoming more and more serious, the discipline of the army is getting worse and worse, and the looting of the people occurs from time to time. Especially Li Keyong of Shatuo, who holds a heavy army in his hand and stares at Daqi. Li Keyong did not send troops directly to fight against Daqi now because he thought the time had not come. He adopted the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers. Once Daqi and Li Tang are exhausted, Li Keying will use Shatuo iron horses to stir up the situation. As our side, of course, we hope to form an alliance with Li Keyong to deal with Li Tang. After all, Li Tang drove Li Ke to the Tatar outside the plug with his father and son, making the Shatuo soldiers suffer a lot under the shelter of others. However, Shatuo's soldiers are fierce by nature, and most of them are profit-only people, and there is no faith to speak of. Therefore, I think the final choice of Li and his son is more likely to help Tang. Because if Shatuo soldiers help Daqi destroy the Tang Dynasty, Daqi will certainly prosper because it is a new dynasty, and can completely subdue Shatuo after the destruction of the Tang Dynasty. This is exactly what Li Guochang and Li Keyong, who are dedicated to independent kingdoms, can't agree to!"

Huang Chao nodded: "What Chai Di said is that Shatuo can disturb the situation by helping Tang and being the enemy of Daqi. Once the war is unfavorable, Shatuo can become a prince in troubled times and build an independent kingdom.

"Yes, there is a shortage of food in the second Beijing area, which has become a fatal injury to our army! Unfortunately, after our army occupied Chang'an, it was intoxicated with the optimism after the victory and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. After escaping to Xichuan, Li Yan was able to breathe. Contrary to his previous play state, the boy urgently mobilized the soldiers and horses of Li Tangfan Town to fight against Daqi. Now the war between the two sides has entered the stage of stabale, and no one can eat it. Chaicun analyzed.

Huang Chao and Zhao Zhang listened and nodded frequently.

At this moment, Jin Wei entered the room with a tea tray, handed the three cups of hot tea to the leader of the highest three-person group in Daqi, and then withdrew.

Chai Cun took a sip of hot tea, and his spirit seemed to be better. He continued: "Those who are weak and invive are more abted, and those who are impatient and want to win are more defeated. After looking at the battles of the previous dynasty, I came to realize that when the enemy and we are fighting to the death, we must have a killer to defeat the enemy in order to be invincible!"

"Killer?! What is Daqi's current killer? Huang Chao asked.

Chai Cun condensed for a moment and resolutely said, "Outside attack!"

"Where to attack?" Huang Chao and Zhao Zhang asked questions almost at the same time.

Chai Cun raised the volume: "Your Majesty, the military configuration of Daqi has been initially in place. In Qilu, Sun Mei, a general, is fighting hard. Because Qilu is the birthplace of our army, Li Tang has been setting up heavy troops there to suppress it. The situation of Sun Mei's army is very difficult. In the Central Plains, Meng Kai's first army and Wang Duo's troops repeatedly fought, because Wang Chongrong, Zhuge Shuang, Qin Zongquan and other vassal towns are one after another. The enemy of Daqi has caused more and more troubles for the Central Plains Rebel Army. Fortunately, Cao Min's Department of the Second Army of Daqi and Huang Siye's Department of the Third Army fought with the Tang Army, which effectively defended the safety of Erjing and enabled the Daqi regime to be implemented near Erjing. However, under the unified command of Song Wentong, the Tang army in Shaanxi, built a fortress and stubbornly resisted to the end. It was still a lot of hard to defeat the Tang army in Shaanxi. In the south of the Yangtze River, Yue Lingfei's fourth army and Lu Jingren's sixth army in Lingnan contacted the Tang army in Lingnan, and fought with the Tang army. The two sides won or lost each other. Things are in a stalemate; in Zhejiang and Fujian, Liu Ying's department of the Fifth Army of Daqi has made great progress recently. Due to Fei Chuangu's good planning, the Fifth Army has established a firm foothold in western Zhejiang and contacted many heroes in Zhejiang and Fujian to jointly deal with the Tang army. Therefore, I think that this external attack should focus on the strength of Liu Ying's Department of the Fifth Army of Daqi, punch it fiercely in the southeast direction of Li Tang, and must hurt Li Tang's southeast soldiers! As long as Daqi wins in Zhejiang and Fujian, the Tang soldiers in Erjing will certainly be afraid to attack our army. We can choose a favorable opportunity to launch several major battles, defeat the Tang army in Shaanxi, occupy the whole Shaanxi, take Shuchuan directly, capture Li Yan, and consolidate the Jiangshan of Daqi!"

Huang Chao sighed: "Listen to Chai Di's words, it's like pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun!" I think this plan is feasible. Brother Zhao Zhang will follow the strategy of Brother Chai Cun. Immediately ordered Liu Ying and Fei Chuangu, and the Fifth Army of Daqi recently launched a full-line attack on the Tang army in Zhejiang and Fujian. They should sweep away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind to beat Li Tang's southeast soldiers and bring out the prestige of the Daqi army!"

"Tofu with brine will reduce one thing. Brother Chai Cun can be said to be in the strategy and win thousands of miles away. I think he is better than Zhang Zifang, who has been in Han for 400 years, hehe!" Zhao Zhang praised.
