Chapter 3598 Weighing Interests

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing. Even with an absolute advantage, it is difficult to say that victory is guaranteed. There are countless examples of battles in which the small defeats the large and the weak defeats the strong.

    However, in summary, the factors that affect the outcome of a war are just a few factors such as timing, morale, and combat power. From these, we can form a complete theoretical system of war.

    The Sixth Army of the East Palace mobilized troops from all over, with Cheng Chubi's troops who were fighting fiercely at Hongwen Hall as the main force, and suddenly launched a surprise attack at dawn. The rebels were caught off guard and immediately defeated. Cheng Chubi's troops continued to advance towards Chengtianmen.  Only then could we stabilize our position.

    The rest of Taiji Palace turned to defense due to weak military strength. Donggong Liu led a sharp counterattack, hoping to achieve the purpose of forcing Guan Long to return to the negotiating table.

    However, when Cheng Chubi's troops rushed to the Chengtian Gate, and the East Palace was excited, the rebels quickly increased their troops. Thousands of soldiers broke into the Taiji Palace from both sides of the Guangyun Gate and Changle Gate, and then quickly gathered in the middle, joining Cheng Tianmen.  Tianmen's rebel forces surrounded Cheng Chubi on three sides.

    The situation changes instantly.

    It is true that Guanlong's army was not as elite as Donggong Sixth, but relying on its absolute superiority in strength, it quickly achieved comprehensive suppression. Countless soldiers swarmed up, and Cheng Chubi's troops struggled to support it.  Due to the deployment of troops, the six leaders of the East Palace in Taiji Palace could only defend themselves and had no ability to counterattack. They could only watch Cheng Chubi's troops being surrounded by rebels, but could not rescue them in time.

    There was a fierce battle under the Chengtian Sect, with blood splattering and the fighting situation extremely tragic.

    A well-planned counterattack, the rebels were well prepared and quickly adapted to the situation, and soon fell into a bitter fight. Cheng Chubi led his troops to break through and fight to the death.

    ¡­¡­

    Changsun Wuji was sitting in the side hall of the shop facing the street of Yanshoufang, drinking hot tea. He put his injured leg on a stool aside and let the servants massage it gently. He felt very excited as he listened to the news from Tai Chi Palace that kept coming.  easy.

    In terms of military strategy, no one in the world can compare with Li Jing. Therefore, from the day of the rebellion, Changsun Wuji was very afraid of him. Every time he formed an army, he tried his best to complete the crushing with superior force and not give the opponent any advantage.  Moving around to find opportunities to offset the strategic and tactical differences between the two sides.

    Until now, it has been doing pretty well.

    Li Jing's military skills are indeed unparalleled, but the East Palace is not a monolith. Even if he is the nominal commander of the East Palace army, it is difficult for him to follow his words and stick to his word. There will always be people who act in their own interests and put more constraints on Li Jing's strategy.  .

    War is never a simple matter of troop formations and military strategies. The military¡¯s bounden duty can only serve politics.  Naturally, everything comes to a halt when the army is defeated like a mountain. But even after a great victory, wouldn't it be possible to cede territory to pay compensation and lose troops to humiliate the country?

    "Li Jing's military strategy is unparalleled in the world, but when it comes to political literacy, he is really naive

    This time, Donggong's counterattack by deploying troops was thwarted by him, and he took advantage of the situation to severely damage it, which was extremely important for Guanlong's future prospects.  No matter how much he hates peace talks, he can't completely resist. After all, Guanlong and Guanlong are connected and integrated into one body. If he completely ignores the determination of the other clans to negotiate peace talks, the Guanlong Alliance may fall apart in the next moment.

    Profits are always pursued relentlessly. Even if he controls the entire Guanlong, he cannot swallow up all the benefits.

    He naturally also understood that the real purpose of the other Guanlong clans was to prevent him from deposing the East Palace and supporting Li You to ascend to power, thus completely taking control of the government.  By that time, the Changsun family will become a veritable "uncrowned king" and completely control the power of the country. All the relevant Long clan officials will have to be reduced from "collaborators" to "dependants" and lose all initiative.

    The people do not worry about the numbers but the inequality. When Guanlong is in danger of being suppressed by the imperial power, everyone can still work hard to cooperate sincerely. However, once the rebellion is successful and the power is in hand, everyone will be thinking about how to seize more from the Changsun family.  Instead of allowing the eldest son's family to dominate, it has reached a state of greater prosperity than in the early years of Zhenguan, becoming "the first family in the world"

    Constraints and checks and balances are everywhere. Li Jing is like this, and so is himself.

    The difference is just to see who can suppress the opponents around them as much as possible, use their own advantages to the best possible extent, and win the final victory.

    At this point, Li Jing is not worthy of even helping him

    The anger and sorrow caused by the death of Changsun Anye in my heart has dissipated. After all, after this battle, the morale of the East Palace will be greatly reduced. Even if it cannot completely dispel the peace talks of the Guanlong allies, it can also promote the peace talks to make great progress.  , so that this military remonstrance ends as soon as possible.

    Changsun Wuji did not expect that the military remonstrance would develop to this point. Not only did the Guanlong clan go all out, without any reservations, and risked all their centuries-old heritage, but evenThe wealthy families in Dongdong, Hebei and other places have almost gathered together and devoted themselves to it.

    ??For the world's elites, this "battle" with the imperial power is a failure or failure.  If you win, it will establish a situation where the clans will dominate the government in the next sixty years; if you lose, the foundation accumulated by the world's clans for hundreds of years will be wiped out, and the imperial power will be unshakable.

    Therefore, this is an unprecedented battle that directly challenges the imperial power. As long as we can win, we will not hesitate to pay no matter how high the price is

    Outside the door, Yu Wenjie walked quickly, presented the battle report in his hand to Changsun Wuji, and whispered: "Fang Jun is back!"

    For a moment, Changsun Wuji was a little stunned

    He immediately came to his senses, carefully opened the battle report, and read it word for word, his expression gloomy.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the two groups of cavalry, he sent out all the remaining elite soldiers of the Changsun family. Based on the narrow terrain of the Shangyu ancient road, he intended to intercept and kill Fang Jun. However, they all failed. Fang Jun defeated them one by one and was completely defeated

    That¡¯s all. After all, Fang Jun¡¯s reputation was not in vain. Each of his soldiers was worth ten. It was a pity that he could not be intercepted and killed on the ancient Shangyu Road, but it was not unacceptable.

    However, after Fang Jun returned to Chang'an, he did not immediately return to the Xuanwu Gate to enter the palace. Instead, he went around to the Jinguang Gate and fired provocations at the Guanlong troops stationed here

    This was like a slap in the face to Changsun Wuji.

    Yu Wenjie looked at Changsun Wuji's livid face, fearing that he would get angry, and then continued to increase his troops into the city to increase the intensity of the attack on Taiji Palace. This resulted in empty garrisons outside the city, and was attacked by the Eastern Palace, which ruined the good situation.

    ??And once the war escalates, it is very likely that this local battle of "counterattack" and "counterattack" will evolve into an all-out war in which both sides spared no effort. This is seriously against the interests of the Guanlong family

    He quickly remonstrated: "Fang Jun seems to be vulgar and unruly, and his actions seem to be unruly, but in fact, he often makes decisions before taking action. If you really think that he is reckless and impulsive, you will easily suffer a big loss. Now that Fang Jun has returned to Xuanwu Sect,  The morale of the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, and the Tubo Hu Cavalry has been greatly boosted. If we continue to increase the number of troops to strengthen the Taiji Palace offensive at this time, resulting in an empty defense outside the city, we may give Fang Jun an opportunity to make a sneak attack. Please be careful, Duke Zhao.  .¡±

    The Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, and even the Tubo Huqi are all good at sneak attacks. Moreover, the defense area of ??the Guanlong Army is too large, so it is inevitable to focus on one and lose the other. Once Fang Jun chooses a place to conduct a sneak attack, it will be difficult to defend.  .

    Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, waved his hand, and said: "Do you really think I am overwhelmed by hatred? Although the hatred is as deep as the sea, I will never put Guanlong's interests above personal hatred. The current situation is not good for us.  If it is beneficial, we will naturally not add any extraneous details or create any complications. If we pass on the order, the troops outside the city will be on strict defense and beware of sneak attacks by the Youtun Guards."

    Guanlong's interests are indeed important. Interests are the bond that keeps Guanlong united. But for Changsun Wuji, he must not only maintain the unity of Guanlong, but also destroy the peace talks and eliminate allies as much as possible.  Seize greater benefits during peace talks.

    Where the interests are placed, the total amount will not change. If there are more allies, the Changsun family will have fewer.  In view of the current grievances of the Guanlong family against the Changsun family and their constant complaints that Changsun Wuji has dragged everyone into such a dangerous and potentially devastating war, Changsun Wuji has to consider that once the peace talks are successfully organized by other families,  Will the eldest son's family face rejection and accountability?

    All in all, it is really difficult for him to not only unite all the Guanlong families, but also try every means to sabotage the peace talks

    Yuwenjie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Changsun Wuji was not insisting on his own way, and asked for instructions: "Now that Cheng Chubi's troops are surrounded and exhausted in the battle, should we mobilize nearby troops to cut off their retreat and completely annihilate them?"
