Turbulent Times Chapter 1708: Three disciplines and eight prohibitions

Although the city of Chencang County has grown taller and thicker in recent years, and there are even 20,000 troops stationed in the city, it is far behind Heifengguan and Tongguan, so Xu Shiji led people to attack for three days. The county seat was on the verge of collapse, and it looked like it was about to be breached.

As a last resort, Li Shimin had no choice but to change his original strategy of only defending the city and fighting in the field, and sent Baoguo Gong and Youwei General Duan Zhixuan to lead 60,000 troops to rescue Chencang County.

In the third year of Tianxiang, on September 26th, in a small plain ten miles northeast of Chencang County, Duan Zhixuan led Tang Guo to fight with 60,000 elite soldiers and Xu Shiji led 40,000 elite troops in a field battle.

As soon as the fierce battle started, Duan Zhixuan, who had expected at least not to be defeated, was taken aback and felt cold in his heart.

Of course Duan Zhixuan knew that the troops of Tang State were equal in strength, and their Tang army was no match for Da'an, so he brought 60,000 troops, thinking that they also had gunpowder weapons such as grenades and explosives, and his ability to lead troops in battle was natural He thought that he would not lose to anyone, so he thought that even if he couldn't beat Xu Shiji, he should be half-hearted, and he wouldn't lose for a while.

Unexpectedly, the battle situation was quite different from what he expected.

Relying on the fact that the Tang army has 20,000 more troops, its weapons and equipment are not much worse than those of the Wagang Army. When grenades are used extensively on the battlefield, the gap between the hands is reflected.

This gap, on the one hand, is because Xu Shiji is second only to Li Jing in history in terms of commanding troops and fighting. Although Duan Zhixuan is also a general, he is still inferior to Xu Shiji.

In addition, Xu Shiji studied hard for the past six or seven years since he joined Wang Junlin. The tactical and strategic textbooks written by Nie Xiaoyu himself for the generals of the Da'an Kingdom have been integrated with his rich combat experience in the past, and he has gained a lot.

Secondly, the grassroots generals of Da'an State are generally much more proficient and experienced in commanding and using gunpowder weapons than the generals of Tang State. It will lead to obvious differences in the area of ​​damage and the effect of killing. Da'an already has a very mature learning and training system in these aspects, and the experience of the soldiers is also richer.

The last factor is the advantage of Da'an's military system and mechanism. The rigorous system creates strict discipline. Every soldier will not affect the battle formation and continue to kill the enemy because of the death or injury of his comrades. There is no order to change There will be no retreat.

But the army of the Tang State is different. The No. 1 puppet only makes Tang State almost catch up with the army of Da'an State in terms of weapons and equipment, but it is still far behind on the road of professionalization of the army.

Under the combined effects of the gaps in these three aspects, Tang's casualties were much greater than those of the Wagang Army from the very beginning. , Tang Guojun's morale was gradually shaken, morale was constantly hit, and finally a trend of defeat gradually appeared.

In the end, the war lasted for more than half a day, the Tang army was defeated, and Duan Zhixuan was shocked. After leaving behind 5,000 troops and nearly 20,000 corpses, Duan Zhixuan retreated to Xianyang and withdrew his troops.

Tongguan City is different from Heifengguan City in the west. It has a history of thousands of years. It is a big city comparable to a county city or even a state city

City.

In fact, in the Sui Dynasty, Tongguan City was originally the county seat of Tongguan County.

Therefore, in addition to the 100,000 troops stationed in Tongguan City, there are nearly 200,000 people living there.

Before the army of Da'an Kingdom arrived outside Tongguan City, some dignitaries and wealthy businessmen went to the hinterland of Guanzhong early, and even moved to Chang'an City, but most of the people were still in Tongguan City.

It's not that they don't want to leave, or they are willing to stay and defend Tongguan City with the army, but because their home is in Tongguan City, and their property, real estate, shops, etc. are all in Tongguan City. able to leave.

Of course, this is also related to the strict discipline of Wang Junlin's army, never actively harassing the people, robbing the people of their money, and not bullying women.

Even when the Da'an army was founding the country, Wang Junlin personally participated in it. In addition to the disciplinary regulations, he issued the "three major disciplines and eight strict prohibitions" during the war. The catchy "Three Disciplines and Eight Strict Prohibitions" have already been spread in the territory of Tang State, and are even well known by the common people.

And this matter itself is also a very important step in Da'an's struggle against Tang's ideological field.

Because, this incident directly separated the people of Tang State from the army of Tang State, so that the army of Da'an State would no longer be an invader in the eyes of the people of Tang State, and would not have the mentality of hatred and resistance, let alone let them The state of Tang formed a war like a vast ocean of people.

Although Li Shimin is a talented genius, although he vaguely realizes the importance of struggle in the ideological field, because he was born in a noble family and limited by the thinking of the times, he has not yet realized that the power of the masses is actually greater than the power of the army. But also solid.

If Li Shimin could incite the people of Tang to fight against Anguo, to be honest, no matter how powerful the Da'an army is, it will be more than ten times more difficult to capture Tang than it is now.

……

In Tongguan City, the Chunnv Building in Baiyi Lane is the largest brothel in Tongguan City. It is said that it has the background of a general in Tongguan City, so it was not affected by the early Tang army's action to clean up the spies of Da'an in the city.

However, few people know that the Chunnv Building is a stronghold of the Security Department's Separation Department.

Since the sects of Xianyin Sect joined Wang Junlin back then, Wang Junlin has given important tasks and played a big role in their respective areas of expertise.

But now it seems that the meritorious service of each sect is different, and the titles of the people from the Xianyin sects are also high and low, and some even have not yet obtained the title.

Everything is afraid of comparing with each other, and comparisons often have their own circles.

Although the various sects of Xianyin Sect have their own duties, they are actually a circle because of their particularity, and they usually have more secret contacts.

During the first National Day Ceremony of the founding of the Da'an Kingdom, Tian Changshui, the grandson of Tian Xiangzi, the head of the Momen, served as the director of the Weapons and Equipment Department of the Gewu Academy. Over the years, he led his own scientific research team to invent and create advanced weapons and equipment. Quite a few, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been greatly improved, and they have directly obtained the title of County Earl.

This is the first of the younger generation of Xianyinmen to obtain a title, and it is also the first of the younger generation to obtain a high title above county count.

This made the younger generation of the Xianyin Sect's sects extremely jealous, so half a year ago, the son of the owner of the Yaowang Valley, Lao Lai Dezi, and the deputy director of the Medicine Equipment Department of the Security Mansion, Mu Pipi, went to Gao in a dangerous situation /

Gouli sneaked into Pyongyang City and made great contributions.

Now there is news that the next National Day Ceremony, Mu Pipi will be a county magistrate, and will be promoted.

This made other second and third generation young people from Xianyin sect even more jealous, such as Yue Xian'er, the daughter of Yuehu, the master of Tianmei sect.

After Tianmei Sect surrendered to Wang Junlin, the head of the sect, Yuehu, originally wanted to take advantage of them and take the route of the harem. Aged, extremely beautiful.

It's just that after he discovered that Wang Junlin had no unreasonable thoughts about him, he carefully selected a group of beautiful girls who had been trained and were good at arousing men's hearts and sent them to Wang Junlin. It was very low, saying that these people were serving as maids for Wang Junlin.

As a result, after Wang Junlin felt the powerful allure of this group of beautiful girls, he gave an order to directly make Tianmei Sect the division chief of the Military Intelligence Department at that time.

Later, after the founding of the country, it became the Division of Disputes in the Security Mansion, and Yuehu, the master of the Tianmei Sect, was the division's envoy.

In recent years, under the leadership of Yuehu, the sisters of Tianmeimen have inquired a lot of information. When fighting in Hedong, Liangguo, Sichuan, Huainan, Huaibei and other places, many cities directly surrendered and there were also divisions. Thanks to the girl.

So, now Yuehu, the envoy, also has the title of earl.

However, Yuexian'er, Yuehu's daughter, does not have any titles.

It would be fine if there were no real examples of Tian Changshui and Mu Pipi. Now that these two guys of the same age already have or are about to have titles, and the titles are not low, Yue Xian'er I'm getting greedy, not to mention that she still has a bet with that Mupipi.

So, following Mu Pipi's example, she sneaked into Tongguan City half a year ago, wanting to make trouble.

For this reason, Yuehu mobilized a large number of people from the Dispute Division, mobilized all the dark men in Tongguan City, and even asked Shen Guoer for instructions, mobilizing a large number of experts from other divisions to cooperate.

After three or four months of hard work, Yue Xian'er's plan finally made a lot of progress.

Three months ago, by chance, in a temple in Tongguan City, Yuexian'er met Li Wenbin, the youngest son of Tongguan City Guard Li Xiaogong's youngest son.

Yue Xian'er has already obtained the true biography of Yuehu, the technique of Tianmei has already been completed, and with the cooperation of a large number of extras, the careful planning of the think tank of the Pingan Mansion, and the director of the old fox, Yuehu, it is easy to let the Li Wenbin fell in love with Yue Xian'er at first sight.

Of course, in order not to make Li Wenbin suspicious, especially Li Xiaogong, Yue Xian'er reprimanded Li Wenbin who took the initiative to come forward and wanted to flirt with her.

It's just that during the scolding process, Yue Xian'er's posture was so charming, that voice even fell on Li Wenbin's ears with a feeling of ecstasy.

Li Wenbin has been suffering from unrequited love ever since. When this unrequited love fermented to a certain extent, Li Wenbin met Yue Xian'er again by a very coincidental time. Less than a quarter of an hour.

However, under the full power of Yuexian'er's Tianmei technique, Li Wenbin's lovesickness has undergone a qualitative change, and the final result is that Feiyuexian'er will not marry.

PS: Faint to death, Li Wenbin's name is actually a banned word, causing the content to not be uploaded, what a ghost, I was forced to add a dot to the name.
