Chapter 053 But in the future, you can make other plans
Huo Cun glared at the strange eyes when he heard this, and he couldn't help staring at Ge Congzhou: "Brother Ge, you have been the ones who have made the decision in the past. We brothers and others often listen to you, but why do you only care about destroying your own prestige today?"
Although Huo Cun's tone was a little bad, and the three brothers Zhang Guiba and his three brothers fell on themselves again. Ge Congzhou smiled slightly, and did not care: "According to the thoughts of several brothers, even if our army can break Wanqiu, although this is a critical place, how long can it last? Is it worth defending for a long time? What's more, based on the current situation, whether Wanqiu in Chenzhou can be broken is still a matter of different opinions."
Zhang Guiba first realized the meaning of Ge Congzhou's words in one step. His expression changed slightly and immediately asked: "Brother Zhou said that Chenzhou can be taken for our army, but it is not worth the effort?"
Ge Congzhou nodded slowly: "The original form of a wandering army was moving and quiet, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, and watching the victory and prosperity... At the time of the Tang court, not only did the thieves rise up, but the people everywhere responded to our army. Your Majesty was good at using the tactics of mobile attack to fight the world. Even if it was once dangerous and urgent, he could lead the army to appear and attack the east and west, and often he could regain his vitality, often killing the official army to lose one another and run away, and now our army was forced to withdraw from Chang'an. Although the various vassal states were temporarily stopped, they were all looking for a suitable opportunity to send troops, which would inevitably pacify our army. At present, people in the world were afraid that everyone in the world was closely following the war in Chenzhou. The rise and fall of our army was also taught to see all the vassal states. It was also unwise to be obsessed with a corner of Chenzhou."
As he spoke, Ge Congzhou's face became more and more obvious: "Now in such a war, we must not only plan for a city and a corner of the city... Chenzhou Zhao Yuan is indeed not easy to deal with, and he has long built the city walls. At present, even if we work together, unless the other party is careless for a moment, it will be difficult to have a chance to break the city walls within a hundred days. What's more, because Chenzhou is located in a military strategist, and it is also a place for four battles. Even if we can attack, it is difficult to defend for a long time. Since such a forced attack is not worth the loss?
I believe Your Majesty is not willing to move to other places to nourish the vitality. According to Chen and Cai, he intends to regain Chang'an as soon as possible... However, such as Wang Chongrong, Zhou Ji, Wang Jingwu and others, they are all commended for their resignations. Although there were three out of ten of the vassal states in Tang Ting, they surrendered to His Majesty, but now they surrender and rebel again, they have cut off the possibility of surrendering. Even if the Tang Ting Ting vassal states are still in their own minds and intrigues, it is difficult to join forces with both ends, and they will inevitably join forces to fight to the end. There are many natural terrain barriers on all sides of Chang'an, which is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more powerful enemies from Li Keyong in Hedong... It is even more difficult to fight back to Guanzhong again."
"From what Brother Zhou said, it is indeed incisive. It's a pity... It's a pity that His Majesty vowed to break Chenzhou... It's even more that he wanted to avenge Meng Zuopushe, kill Zhao Lu and the man who was good at using Tang Dao, and massacre the city to serve as a warning to others, and still shock the world... In fact, this is indeed too impulsive."
Zhang Guibian, the younger brother of Zhang Guibian, suddenly sighed at the right time, but Huang Chao, who was used to large-scale guerrilla warfare, was another reason why he insisted on defeating Wanqiu, Chenzhou. They were tacit, but they could probably imagine some points:
After all, Huang Chao, who has established the Daqi regime, established the Yuan and Jin dynasties, ascended the throne and became emperor, is already over 60 years old...
When the army was raised to respond to Wang Xianzhi's rebellion, Huang Chao was over 50 years old. Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba and others naturally knew that they were still loyal to His Majesty who was following him, and they had few poetic talents. However, they failed many times and failed to pass the exam. They were all famous. Then they stopped thinking and angrily wrote "The Unsubscribed Journey" when they left Chang'an:
When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom. The fragrance array soars into Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
Later, Huang Chao specialized in private salt sales, which was to fight against local governments. During this period, he experienced another twenty or thirty years... It was also conceivable that the power of the resentment and anger erupted by the accumulation of too long time.
However, the original general Wang Xianzhi deviated from his old brother who was vowing to follow him to rebel. Huang Chao took over the banner of anti-Tang and experienced countless sinister despairs for many years, but he was able to lead his brothers to make a comeback, killing many Tang court nobles and generals in a terrified manner, and even capturing the capital of the Tang Dynasty, fulfilling the oath he made in the famous poem!
Therefore, for Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun and others, Huang Chao was very charming at that time. At that time, there were enough reasons to believe that he could overthrow the Tang court and establish a new country.
But Huang Chao is already old...
At that time, Huang Chao raised an army in Shandong, fought in the Central Plains, entered Jiangxi, and attacked Jingnan. The troops swept across western Zhejiang. He met with the remaining troops of Wang Xianzhi in Anhui, advanced into Lingnan, shocked Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then captured Luoyang and captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty! During this period, Huang Chao was able to revitalize the morale of the army and lead the brothers who were in a turbulent spirit to make a comeback!
However, during that ten years, Huang Chao could still afford it. However, Zhang Guiba, Ge Congzhou and others could have long noticed that since Huang Chao seized Chang'an and became emperor, he took up the long court's drastic reform and governance, but he was driven out of Chang'an by the coalition forces of various vassal states. Huang Chao also became more and more impatient and violent, and his combat path was different from his previous long-distance raids and raids during the battle, and he adopted a combat method that would not delay a long time in a city wall.
The anti-army leader who was commanding large-scale bandits has long regarded himself as the emperor. At this critical moment, he still had to set up a palace and a hundred sects to put on the airs of the emperor. It seemed that Huang Chao realized that he would destroy the Tang Dynasty's regime in his lifetime and establish a unified empire, but he could never afford to spend a long time... So even if he occupied Chen, Cai and other prefectures as the key area where he could enter Bianluo and go south to Jingchu, Huang Chao hoped to use this place as a bridgehead for counterattacking Chang'an, and did not want to spend a few more years to make a long-term plan.
After everyone pondered for a while, Zhang Guiba suddenly spoke and broke the silence: "No matter what, as the brothers Huo Cun said, the war that should be fought will still be fought. Since we are generals of Qi, even if we do not agree with Your Majesty's current strategy, we can only be ordered and fight with caution. Even if the Wanqiu city is surprisingly difficult to fight, we must try our best to chew it down. In addition to Wu Yong, he signed up to be Wang Yanzhang's man, and it will be time for His Majesty to find the man who used the Tang sword that His Majesty said he was going to look for..."
Several people nodded slowly when they heard this, and Ge Congzhou sighed and stopped talking.
However, after his analysis, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guibian and Huo Cun in the big tent all realized that even if he succeeded in attacking Wanqiu, Fang's current strategic situation would still be very unhappy for him. He also gradually realized that if Huang Chao had been obsessed with him, the situation would probably become more and more serious...
However, a military general who had just been promoted and the opinions of several military academies under his command, Huang Chao, who is increasingly violent, can listen to it? He will go to give advice at any cost, and it will be a dead end!
What will happen in the future? It seems very unclear at the moment... Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba and others also understand that their future is still closely tied to Huang Chao. Whether it is Chenzhou Zhao Yuan or the man who uses Tang swords... no matter how difficult the city wall is to conquer, they still have to try their best to defeat it and annihilate the figure among them who was gritting their teeth with hatred.
But the road ahead cannot be narrower and narrower in the end. The originally recognized hero Huang Chao has hoped to rebuild the country and the country again. Zhang Guiba, Ge Congzhou and other five people are all thinking about it. Although some words have not been explained thoroughly, they can't help but secretly say in their hearts:
