Chapter 3683 Silverfish of the Country
After Zuo Wuwei was stationed in Tongguan, tens of thousands of troops immediately deployed their defenses. Not only did the defense outside the pass become impregnable, but the inside of the pass was also guarded. Heavy troops were deployed at many points in the forbidden ditch, and the front line even extended to the bank of the Yellow River. The array is connected, and the water is not leaking.
When Cheng Yaojin completed the defense arrangement of Tongguan, Li Jicai led the main army to arrive late...
As soon as he climbed to Guancheng and looked into the distance, he suddenly felt that the sky was high and the sky was vast and the rivers and mountains were vast. Li Ji looked at the clan army who entered Tongguan from time to time and rushed to Chang'an. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp and sharp.
Returning to the tower, sitting on the back of the table, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchigong, Zhang Liang, Xue Wanche, Ashina Simo and other generals were left and right in front of them. There was a table in front of them, and there was a teapot with hot water.
Li Ji lifted the cape, took a sip from the teacup, then looked around at everyone, and finally settled on Cheng Yaojin, and asked, "How is the situation in the customs?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "The past few days have been calm, and the war in the Taiji Palace has temporarily stopped. The East Palace and Guanlong have started peace talks again, and it seems to be progressing quite smoothly. Yesterday evening, Ying Guogong Yu and Scholar arrived in Tongguan and wanted to go out to visit the Great Hall. Shuai, who was blocked by me, will stay in the gate, if the commander receives him, I will send someone to inform him later, if not, I will order him to expel him."
Li Ji pondered for a while and said, "No one is coming from the East Palace?"
Until now, he is about to lead the army into the customs, control the situation in Chang'an, and decide the fate of many people. Since Guanlong sent people to lobby, there is no reason why the East Palace should not come.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "No one has come yet... But now the vast area east of Chang'an is under the control of Guanlong, if the East Palace sends people to come, it will definitely need to detour, and face the pursuit and blockade of Guanlong along the way, even if it finally arrives at Tongguan. It will take a long time, and even if you are a little careless halfway, you will become Guan Long's prisoner."
When the army was originally stationed in Luoyang, Fang Junshang could cross the Shangyu Ancient Road to reach Luoyang, but now Li Ji is in Tongguan, and the Donggong wants to come, and the difficulties and obstacles he faces are even worse than before.
Li Ji said solemnly, "Don't bother."
Then he looked at the generals and said, "All the divisions in the army must try their best to restrain their soldiers and station them in Tongguan. No matter what the reason is, they are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have traveled thousands of miles to fight in the East since last year's spring expedition. It has been nearly a year in history, and the feeling of homesickness in the army is extremely serious.Especially the children of Guanzhong, who are currently stationed in Tongguan so close to their hometown, it is inevitable that they will feel nostalgic.If not restrained, I am afraid that the morale of the army will fluctuate and discipline will be lax.
That’s all for the soldiers. If the lieutenant general also returns to his hometown privately, it will not only shake the hearts of the army, but also the news of the general will be leaked…
must be strictly avoided.
"Here!"
The generals clung to their promises.
Li Ji nodded in satisfaction, but he also knew in his heart that the people in front of them had countless interests behind them, and their camps were different. It was almost impossible for them to act in accordance with military discipline and not offend.
Sometimes, the leakage of information in the army will make the army extremely passive. Leak some...
He said: "If there is no important matter, please go back, remember to restrain the army, obey orders at any time, and if there is a delay, military law will be dealt with."
"Here!"
When the generals answered their orders and were about to leave, Li Ji suddenly remembered something again, raised his hand to stop the generals, and asked with a frown, "Zhou Daowu led the army to escort the prisoners back, why hasn't he returned to Guanzhong until now? "
Zhou Daowu took the first step to escort the captives back to Chang’an. The Eastern Expedition army had been besieging Pingrang City for many days before withdrawing, and the road dragged on and rushed forward. As a result, the army arrived at Tongguan, but Zhou Daowu, who had been one step ahead, had not yet arrived...
Serious delay of military aircraft, unforgivable.
Zhang Liang was in charge of the exchange of documents and information between the army and the Chinese, and after hearing Li Ji's inquiry, he thought about it carefully and said, "When the army passed through Yecheng, I received an official letter from Zhou Daowu, the general of You Xiaowei, who inspected the school, saying that it was a heavy snow in winter. The road conditions in Liaodong were difficult, and the prisoners were severely injured. In addition, the frostbite was difficult to heal, the casualties were extremely heavy, and the march was slow. At that time, Zhou Daowu would arrive at the boundary of Yingzhou when he sent the documents. , and then hit the road fast."
"Ah!"
Li Ji sneered and was very dissatisfied: "The casualties are extremely heavy, and the march is slow? In my opinion, this consort, the commander-in-chief, disliked the difficulty of traveling, so he simply stationed in Yingzhou and waited until the spring was warm and enlightened. There are probably not many of those prisoners left."
After the founding minister, Li Ji was very disdainful of the imperial concubine, who was raised by His Majesty in the palace when he was a child.
During a war, they avoid danger and fight for advantage. There is no soldier who is hard-working and not afraid of hardships and dangers.
Even the playboys are not as good. As Fang Jun, Pei Xingjian and others have repeatedly made meritorious achievements, the upper limit of the playboys has suddenly been raised. As a result, even the playboys are now placed in high hopes by the family. To be able to repent like Fang Jun and others, and the prodigal son to turn back...
Yuchigong was also dissatisfied with Zhou Daowu, although he fought alongside Zhou Daowu's father: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as the death and injury of the prisoners. Since this concubine has been stranded in Yingzhou, he hasn't set off for Chang'an for so long. Maybe it's because There are not one out of ten prisoners under escort, fearing that they will be dealt with by military law after arriving in Chang'an, so they delay the trip, hoping that the chaos in Guanzhong will change another day, and no one will hold him accountable."
The crowd was silent.
This is very likely. Once the escorting captives encounter a difficult journey, the army generals are often afraid of abandoning or even killing the seriously wounded captives, in order to speed up the speed, reduce the burden, and save the food and transportation. Throughout the ages, this has almost become unwritten rule.
Even the great Confucians of the Han family, no one takes captives seriously...
Li Ji waved his hand and said, "No matter what he is, no matter what the situation is, military discipline and military law cannot be profaned. Anyone who dares to test the law will have to bear the corresponding consequences."
After the crowd dispersed, they returned to their respective camps to restrain the army. Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji came to a post house located under the gate, and met Yuwen Shiji who was waiting here.
……
Today's weather is good, the sun is warm, the warm wind caresses, the snow in the corners and the shade of the house is still white, and the rest of the place has gradually begun to melt.
In the side hall of the post inn, the postmen rectified a table of wine and vegetables, Li Ji and Yuwen Shihe sat opposite each other, and Cheng Yaojin accompanied him.
The three of them clinked their glasses and drank, and Yuwen Shiji sighed: "Last spring, hundreds of thousands of troops rolled their flags, chariots and horses, all the way to the east to conquer the invincible. Who would have thought that this war with all the power of the whole country, in the end, Work in vain, and come back in vain?"
Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking and eating vegetables, took the time to swallow the food in his mouth, glanced at Li Ji, his eyes met, and then reminded Yuwen Shi and said: "Ying Guogong probably has too many thoughts in Chang'an, and he does not know the world's important affairs. , Now Ping Rang City has been captured, and the Yuan clan fled in embarrassment. Although the forces from all over the country support it, it will not take long for the entire Goguryeo to be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although there are many mistakes in this east expedition, it has been completely achievement."
At the time of the Eastern Expedition, the generals of the entire army excluded Fang Jun's army, lest he would share the military merits in a sure victory. After repeated victories and illustrious exploits, countless people looked at him with red eyes.
But now that Guanzhong has collapsed and the situation is in chaos, Fang Jun and his army can no longer be excluded, no matter which camp Fang Jun is in.
Moreover, the naval forces captured Ping Rang City with the strength of an army. This feat has stunned the past and present, and Wei Gai is in the world. Who wants to ignore it?
Especially this filthy move of deliberately splitting the navy makes Cheng Yaojin extremely contemptible...
Although the army of the Eastern Expedition has not completed its full success, and God is jealous of the British Lord, His Majesty has died, but now the Tang Dynasty is at its peak and its army is strong. , is still the Great Tang Empire that looked down upon the Quartet and all nations came to Korea.
As a result, such a group of scoundrels who only have their own interests in their eyes, brazenly rebelled for their own selfish interests, gathered more than [-] troops to depose the East Palace, and beat Chang'an, the capital of the world, to almost a ruin.
Selfish and lawless, they are all a group of silverfish.
