Nightfall Chapter 189: Tea Xing Tang Yan
The slender wooden sticks are painted with red paint, and they move constantly on the silk military map, like a torch. To light this map, the flames continue to spread across the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
After the Great Tang Zhengxi Army won a big victory on the plateau, they did not rest on the spot, nor did they return aid. Instead, they chose to cross the majestic Congling Mountains and head straight for Chaoyang City.
The army under the command of General Shu Cheng went deep into a foreign country alone. If it can finally conquer Chaoyang City and capture the Moon Wheel Royal Family, it is of great strategic significance to the current tense situation.
Long Qing and the two thousand cavalrymen were destroyed under Chang'an City. The wasteland cavalry had a lot of embarrassment after the shock, and they lacked effective military command. The Tang army, which was dominated by the remnants of the Northeast Frontier and the Volunteer Army, could not constitute too much. Threatened, the situation in eastern Xinjiang has gradually stabilized and has entered the stage of suppression.
The real threat is still in the north and south. The Zhenbei Army has added a lot of fresh soldiers, and can even free up Gushan County to support the eastern Xinjiang. However, the King of the Golden Horde has been preparing for a large-scale invasion of the south for decades. The fire was like thunder, and the battle was still going on extremely tragically. The Tang Army was always in a passive defense stage. In a short period of time, it was impossible to see the possibility of annihilating the main force of the royal cavalry and then counterattack.
The situation at the southern Qingxia is also tense. The main force of the Xiling Temple coalition is composed of the Southern Jin army, but the real strength is far more than that. Whether the Temple coalition forces attack Qingxia or bypass the eastern border and the northern expedition, it will definitely be brought to Chang'an. With great pressure, it is even possible to reverse the course of this war again.
However, what is extremely puzzling is that the offensive of the Allied Forces of the Xiling Temple is much weaker than expected. Looking at the logistics of the forage and grass, it seems that there is no plan to detour to the Northern Expedition.
The palace was very quiet, and the ministers and generals felt very confused.
"What are you thinking about in the temple?"
Academician Zeng Jing said: "Does the temple still want to preserve strength at this time, waiting for us and the Golden Tent King Court to be injured before we really start to attack?"
"The temple wants peace talks."
The Queen Empress said, pointing to a letter on the case.
The color of the letter is bright yellow, a color that only Xiling Temple and the Datang imperial family are qualified to use.
The words the Queen said shocked the people in the temple, because no one could figure out why Xiling Temple wanted to make peace at this moment.
The hall became quiet again, and no one spoke.
Even if the whole world is fighting against Tang, the people of Tang Dynasty are fearless, but the ministers and generals in the temple are not young people with passion. The most precious temperament they possess is calmness-as long as they calm down, people can Soberly aware of the power gap between Datang and the whole world.
Regardless of population, materials, number of war horses or territorial area, Datang is the largest and strongest country in the world, but it is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage compared with the entire world.
Especially with the destruction of the Northeast Frontier Army in the capital of Yan State, the blood of the navy division officers and soldiers of Qinghe County has stained Daze, and the strength of the Datang army has suffered extremely heavy losses, despite the hard work of the academy and the court The downfall temporarily eased the danger of national subjugation, but if the fighting continued under the north-south attack of the Golden Tent Palace and Xiling Temple's coalition forces, no one would dare to say whether Tang Guo could survive and how long it would last.
From rational considerations, Xiling Temple’s proposal for peace is undoubtedly what Datang wants to see most now. However, in this case, Datang will inevitably pay a great price for negotiations, and it can even be guessed now. The coalition forces will inevitably demand compensation from Datang.
Since the founding of the country for thousands of years, Datang must win every battle. There is no surrender, and no alliance under the city. Is it true that these people can no longer maintain the pride of their ancestors? If you really feel helpless to talk, who will talk? Who would dare to sign that document under the guilty of being accused by the Tang people of traitorousness?
The silence in the temple comes from this.
The Queen Mother said: "The courtiers will discuss whether to talk about it or not, and how to talk about it. In short, a plan is drawn out as soon as possible. It must be fast, because one day slower will kill one more day."
……
……
In the Imperial Study Room, the Queen Empress looked at the notes that the ink hadn't dried completely, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "You heard it all."
Ning Que threw the pen into the clear water urn, pulled a piece of paper and wiped his hands, and said: "Since the temple wants to talk, then we will talk with them. We can talk any way, but we can't suffer."
The Queen Empress said: "Since we have an advantage, if we refuse to suffer, the temple will definitely not agree, so if we want to talk, we must be prepared to suffer."
Ning Que shook his head and said: "First of all, we have to understand why the temple is suddenly thinking about peace. We must know that the main force of the temple coalition has not fought a serious battle until today."
The queen mother asked: "In your opinion, what is the reason for the temple's initiative to ask for peace?"
There is a pot of freshly brewed rock tea on the bookcase, and there is a set of exquisite tea sets in the bookshelf. Ning Que took out the tea sets, poured two small cups, pushed one of them to the queen’s body, and took one to drink. After that, take out all the things in the tea set box and place them in the sea of delicate and beautiful curves.
The tea tray is like the sea, which can hold countless tea sets.
Ning Que took the largest teapot from the tea tray, and said, "What we can confirm now is that the subjectivity is abolished."
"The head teacher is also abolished."
He removed a thin teaspoon from the tea tray, grabbed a few teacups with one hand, and continued: "The Oracle, the Seven Masters, and Ye Su are all scrapped."
Finally, he tapped the wooden tube containing the tea and said: "Liu Bai cut off the second brother's right arm, and the second brother also stabbed him in the chest. In a short time, Liu Bai will not make another move."
Looking back at the magnificent wars in the past few months, Tang Jun was fighting **** battles, and there were ordinary people's rise, but the real key was the strong wars between the academy and the Daomen.
Big brother restrained the master for seven days, severely injured seven masters in front of Congling, and severely injured the oracle in front of Qingxia. The second brothers fought against the peerless strong in front of Qingxia, defeating Ye Su first, and then hurting Liu Bai, together with the same door, prevented the army of Xiling Temple from entering Qingxia. The third elder sister defeated the head teacher of Xiling Temple as a useless person, and then joined forces with the master brother in Chang'an City to fight the master from the ground to the sky.
In addition to the shocking formation left by the master, and the word that Ning Que finally wrote, it is the elder brother, the second elder brother and the third elder sister, which directly changed the course of this war,
"The college is indeed disabled, but the price paid by the Daomen is even heavier. They want to negotiate a peace and it is beyond my expectation. I even think that the news is a bit late."
Ning Que looked at the queen and said, "Now both sides need time to heal, so the mother doesn’t need to care about the academy’s attitude, she can talk whatever she wants."
The empress said: "Yes, time is good for us."
Ning Que looked at the night outside the window, the somewhat gloomy moon, and said, "Perhaps not necessarily."
The room was quiet and silent. The queen and him looked at the moon and knew in their hearts that perhaps the key to victory in the world is still above the moon in the night sky.
The Queen Empress retracted her gaze, looked at him and asked: "Are there any comments from the college?"
"The elder brothers and sisters in the back mountain do not understand the affairs of government, politics, and military affairs. Naturally, there is no opinion for me to tell the mother, but I do have something to remind me."
"What's the matter?"
"If there is a way, please send the book to Congling as soon as possible, and let General Shu Cheng return to his division."
The empress empress raised her eyebrows and said: "According to the calculation of time, at most in half a month, the Western Army can attack Chaoyang City and destroy the moon wheel. At this time, let them give up?"
"Chaoyang City must never enter."
Ning Que thought about the peak in the wasteland and the yellow temples between the peaks, and said: "The academy and the Taoist are both defeated. I don't want to talk about the first such person to come to Chang'an."
The Empress Empress was born in the Demon Sect. Although she has lived in a deep palace for a long time, she still knows the legendary figures in the spiritual world very well. After listening to this, she understood Ning Que's fear and agreed.
She said: "The military department once had a plan for the Western Army to ignore the Moon Nation and enter the wasteland north of Congling, trying to find Shanyu's position while the main force of the Golden Tent invaded south." /
Ning Que thought about the big swamp named "Muddang" on the wasteland, and said, "This plan is too risky. It's better to give up. It is better to let the Western Army retreat from Congling and move towards the Seven Castles. ."
The empress said: "That's the case. But if the court agrees to negotiate a peace with the temple, the temple will definitely ask to talk to the academy. Will you or the big man come forward?"
"The college can't come forward, at least I can't come forward."
Ning Que looked at the scattered tea cups on the table and said, "If the college comes out for an interview, it will be hard to regret in the future. If I sign on it, how can I kill people in the future?"
……
……
Chao Xiaoshu has been waiting for Ning Que in the duty room, and when he leaves the palace, he will go the same way.
Suddenly light snow began to fall in the night sky. Not long after, a thin layer of snow was spread on the square and the surrounding streets. The boots were a little slippery when they stepped on them. Cup."
Ning defect nodded.
There is a soup shop in the alley, and the shop is full of people. The relief of the battle is quickly reflected in the lives of the people, but the diners are not as noisy as they usually do.
When the shop owner saw another visitor, he moved the table and chairs outside the shop and asked if it was okay.
Chao Xiaoshu and Ning Que didn't care about it, so they started to eat hot lamb soup with light snow.
Without raising the wine glass, Chao Xiaoshu suddenly asked: "What are you going to do with Li Yu?"
Ning Que was plucking coriander into Chao Xiaoshu's bowl. Hearing this, his movements stiffened slightly, and then returned to normal, saying: "That's a matter for the empress or the court."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "I am asking you."
Ning Que put down his chopsticks, looked at him and said, "I remember your relationship with her is very ordinary."
"After all, she is His Majesty's most dear daughter."
After saying this, he raised the dipping saucer towards Xiaoshu and put the fermented bean curd into the Ningque bowl.
