Chapter 268 (1/2)
After pondering for a long time, Wang Mingyuan continued: ”if it's just a simple battle in tuhuoluo, the Tang Dynasty is sure to win. However, if the white clothed Dashi is moved by the wind and takes part in the battle of tuhuoluo in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid the victory rate will be no more than 30% if we attack mainly in the Tang Dynasty, and the tuhuoluo and Baishi are the main defenders, and the plateau is not conducive to our Tang army's combat
”Mm-hmm, go on. What else?” Li Hong nodded his head, his mouth was humming, and he did not express his attitude. His face was always a faint smile.
”If I am the leader of the Tang Dynasty, and the white clothes and food are the main attack, relying on the three important towns of Shule, shuyeh and Khotan, I will be Ha ha, I don't need to say that. You personally participated in the construction of the iron wall. I think it's their cooperation. As long as we don't have any problems, they can't take us at all. ” Wang Mingyuan said that finally, he did not forget to praise the four towns in Anxi built by Li Hong.
”Yes, a war is determined not only by the small number of troops, but by many factors. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if it is a sure and certain situation, it may lead to the defeat of the whole army because of a small mistake. Now Anxi is not completely stable enough to provide all kinds of supplies to our troops in Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is a dream to go on an expedition to tuhuolo or even to eat in white. Do you understand what I mean Finally, Li Hong asked a question.
Wang Mingyuan is at a loss. I don't know why his Highness the prince said this. Even if the Tang Dynasty faced the white clothes and big food, there was no sure victory rate, but it had the strength to fight the first World War. With the command of famous generals and the unity of the whole army, the Tang Dynasty could win at least 50%.
However, he also had to admire Li Hong, who had made such a great achievement in Anxi. He was not proud at all, and he was still very cautious and modest. Some soldiers on the battlefield were taboo, and all of them were calculated by him.
This made him admire from the bottom of his heart. Such a general would not be complacent because of some military achievements, nor would he be satisfied because of several victories. This is the real famous general.
In this history, how many people had the conditions to become famous generals, but in the end, after a few victories, they began to float in the air, and finally died in battle, leading to their defeat.
However, he did not understand the last sentence of his highness, and why the prince was so pessimistic about the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and Baishi.
Li Hong looked at him with a blank look, and sighed silently in his heart. Wang Mingyuan, as the general leading the army, only cared about how to lead the troops and how to win the battle.
As for some of the incipient decline phenomena in the Tang Dynasty, including the undercurrent surging in the court hall, it is obvious that no military general can see or care about.
As the so-called stand angle is different, the vision of the problem is not the same. There is a great difference in the status between the two people. If they are not at the same height, natural consideration will not be as comprehensive as he is.
”Go to the Ministry of war and report it. During this period of time in Chang'an, I will accompany my wife, children and family.” Li Hong waved and let Wang Mingyuan leave.
Back in Lizheng hall again, Yiyang and Gao'an are still there. Li Lingyue already has it in his hand. When Li Hong was in Anxi, he asked several chefs to bake bread and they were eating it with relish.
”Give her less sweets, or you'll get wormwood.” Li Hong stroked Li Lingyue's small head and looked at the summer solstice.
Yiyang and Gao'an naturally carry a basket of newly baked bread in their hands. In the other hand, they also specially hold a small teddy bear.
”I'll visit my mother in a few days. How are things now?” Li Hong and Li Hong asked.
”Well. The Empress Dowager is no longer hostile to his mother's concubine. Since the Taiji palace was demolished by you, my father and emperor have built a small courtyard at the Jiuxian gate of the palace. He eats fast and chants Buddhism every day. He is very free. Occasionally, he will visit her. Sometimes he will sit for more than an hour. ” Yi Yang looked at Li Hong carefully again. After a while, he could tell his mother about Li Hong's changes.
”Starting from tomorrow, let Jingwei keep an eye on the people like Pylos and others to see who they will contact in Chang'an.” Li Hong hugs Bai Chun's shoulder and goes upstairs. With a little fart child behind him, Li Lingyue is naturally.
In the next few days, Li Hong had a rare leisure and indulgence, except that the next morning he went to the Daming Palace to greet Lizhi and his mother, and then talked with him in the study for more than an hour.
The rest of the time in the palace has not been with other people. But if you don't contact with each other, naturally someone will come to your royal highness.
In these days, Li Hong died of drunkenness every day. Whether Xue Rengui or Hei Chi Chang Zhi, or other generals in the western expedition with him, they were invited by Li Hongyan once in the east palace.
This banquet naturally made the courtiers nervous. They were afraid that the father and the emperor would suspect that the prince would win over the generals.
But fortunately, on the second day of the court hall, Li Zhi said hello to Xue Rengui and others with a smile, and talked about the banquet of the East Palace yesterday. All the ministers understood that his majesty had also gone yesterday.
After the departure of the generals who followed Li Hong in the western expedition, Li Xian and others were welcomed in the east palace the next day.Li Shangjin, king of Ze, Li Sujie, Li Xian and Li Zhe, as well as eight year old fat man Li Dan, including Yiyang and Gao'an, came together.
Li Shangjin is 24 years old, and Li Sujie is now 22 years old. Because Li Hong returned to Chang'an, he was approved by Li Zhi and rushed back from their respective fiefs.
