Chapter 469 The Final Attempt!

Chapter 479

"Uncle, once the war starts, Datang will definitely be defeated!"

Wang Chong knelt on the ground and said in a painful voice:

"I want to stop this war, not to help Mengshezhao, but to worry about Datang. There are more than 300,000 Mengshezhao elites, and 180,000 Tang Annan troops. Once this war starts, it will be unprecedented. Uncle has thought about what will happen if Datang loses?"

Wang Gen was stunned for a moment.

He is a civil servant and is not proficient in military strategy. During this period of time, the discussion in the court was also about how to punish the Mengshezhao Empire and Ge Luofeng.

No one has thought about the issue of Datang's defeat at all, and no one will think about it from this perspective.

Datang will not be defeated, this is the belief deeply rooted in everyone's heart.

However, "victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs", Wang Gen had to admit that once a war started, there would be winners and losers. It is entirely possible that Datang will fail.

In his heart, Wang Gen never believed that Datang would fail, but after all, he came from a family of generals and ministers, and he knew this bit of common sense.

For a moment, Wang Gen was also questioned by Wang Chong.

It was cold in the dark prison, and the dim light illuminated the even colder floor tiles. Wang Chong knelt on it, only to feel bursts of cold air coming from his knees, but Wang Chong's heart was colder than the ground.

There was silence in my ears, nothing but the sound of breathing. But Wang Chong could clearly hear the sound of drums beating.

That was the voice of fate warning from somewhere.

A world with hundreds of millions of people, after going around in a circle, stepped into the abyss of destruction again. When the dawn is approaching, there will be the first twilight, and when the cold autumn is approaching, there will be the first fallen leaves.

The war in the Southwest has never been an easy war!

The 180,000 elite army was annihilated, and hundreds of millions of people were turned into dead bones. The Divine Continent of China, the first time the Tang Empire had its southwest gate, was completely undefended against two foreign empires...

This fiasco shocked the entire empire! It also shocked the boundless barbarians and wolves around Datang.

The death of 180,000 frontier elites caused the empire to suffer unprecedented damage.

The military power of the entire Datang suffered a huge damage of nearly one-third.

In the history of Datang, such casualties were unprecedented.

This war inspired all the great powers around the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, the Goguryeo Empire, and the distant Dashi and Tiaozhi, including the Mengshezhao and Uzang Empires that initiated this war...

For the first time, these great powers around the Great Tang discovered that the Great Tang was not as powerful as imagined. It turned out that the current Great Tang was no longer the invincible and terrifying Great Tang before.

This battle gave all the Hulu foreign nations around Datang a glimpse of the weak side of Datang. Since then, countless forces have been ready to move, and they have stared hungrily at Datang.

Northwest, Northeast, North, Longxi..., the Great Tang was constantly fighting, and it has been troubled ever since. A huge empire, the most powerful civilization in the history of Middle-earth Shenzhou, has since turned from prosperity to decline, and has fallen into decline.

This is the eternal pain in the hearts of all Datang people! It is also the pain of the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent!

No matter what, Wang Chong wanted to change all of this.

"...Uncle, I know this matter is embarrassing for you! But please think about it, uncle. Has my nephew ever lied to my uncle once since I was a child? I know it's embarrassing for my uncle. My nephew has never asked my uncle for anything, but this Once I ask my uncle to agree to my nephew no matter what, no matter how many people oppose or destroy, I ask my uncle to stop this battle! This is not only for the Wang family, but also for the Tang Dynasty! One day, time will tell Nephew was right!"

At the end, Wang Chong clenched his fists tightly, his head pressed to the ground, and his body protruded with blue veins due to too much force.

I am doomed to be alone in this journey of revenge. Only by experiencing it personally can I know how difficult it is to change the fate of this empire and the world.

There are too many things in my heart that I can't tell others, even my uncle who is as close as me will never be easy to persuade, let alone others.

Wang Gen looked at Wang Chong, who was kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, and was deeply moved. Although Wang Chong didn't say much, Wang Gen could feel the rock-solid and unchangeable will in his heart.

"Chong'er, let me think about it!"

Wang Gen sighed, closed his eyes, and remained silent. There is no small matter in the military and the country, and one must never act on one's emotions, let alone abandon one's personal interests because of public affairs. This is the principle that Wang Gen has upheld in the court for many years.

If it were other descendants of the Wang family, even his own son Wang Li, Wang Gen would definitely not think about it. But Wang Chong...

Scenes of the past flashed through his mind, "Jiedushi Incident" and "Taizhen Concubine Incident", Wang Chong has proved himself time and time again, including the recent Southwest War, which Wang Chong first discovered.

Time after time, things finally proved that Wang Chong was right!

He seems to have a kind of foresight, and he can always detect the most correct one from all the clues.

"Chong'er, tell me, you will never regret today's decision!"

Wang Gen said suddenly.

"Uncle will never regret it."

Wang Chong was overjoyed.

Listening to the uncle's words is clearly a promise.

Wang Gen suddenly let out a long breath.

"Chong'er, I can promise you this time. This is the first time I changed my position because of personal reasons, but it will also be the last one, do you understand?"

Wang Gen opened his eyes and said.

"Nephew understands."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice. If it wasn't because he knew his uncle's character, Wang Chong wouldn't have bypassed his uncle during the Jiedushi incident, and had only persuaded King Song.

"Tell me, what else do I need to do next?"

Wang Gen said, his expression became much more relaxed.

"Um!"

Wang Chong nodded:

"Uncle, after you go back from here, please tell King Song that he must come forward in person no matter what. In addition, I have a handwritten letter here, please give it to Yang Zhao. If you want to change the decision of the court, you must It only takes Uncle, King Song, and Concubine Taizhen!"

"Also, please tell King Song that we are definitely not going to help Meng Shezhao. Ge Luofeng is ambitious and must be punished, but definitely not now. Please delay the time and act only after he is fully prepared. So from now To start, please uncle and King Song to mobilize the troops from the Ministry of War to the southwest."

"It's not enough to have an army of 180,000 in the southwest to deal with Ge Luofeng. Only an army of more than 300,000 can possibly deal with Ge Luofeng!"

"Impossible! The mobilization of the army is no small matter. It involves the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops. Even the King of Song cannot act arbitrarily. It must be approved by other ministers."

Wang Gen shook his head and said.

Song Wang is a powerful figure in the Ministry of War, but he is not so big as to overwhelm the sky with one hand. At least King Qi also has extremely high power in the Ministry of War.

Moreover, Datang's foreign wars have always been less against many. Datang has always followed the route of elite soldiers, all kinds of equipment are extremely sophisticated, and the soldiers are armed to the teeth, almost crushing other forces in terms of equipment.

If they really mobilized more than 300,000 troops, they could completely crush Meng Shezhao. That would be a war of extermination.

Moreover, Datang only had so many troops. If 300,000 troops were mobilized, the defense in other areas would become weak, and it might cause even bigger troubles.

"Then use the reserve army, the government troops from all over the country! This is the best source of troops, and it can bypass the Ministry of War to minimize resistance!"

With sharp eyes, Wang Chong said without hesitation. As the Great Tang Soldier back then, and the last commander of the Central Divine Continent, Wang Chong had a much more thorough understanding of military matters than his uncle:

"The battlefield is the best melting pot. It takes three months to train a regular army that takes several years to become qualified. These government troops from various places are the best source of troops!"

A complete army system must have a regular army and a reserve army. Mengshe Zhao, Uzang, Goguryeo, and the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates are all the same.

Although Datang has a small number of troops, it has always maintained a large reserve army. The number of these reserve troops is not large, but there are at least 200,000.

Moreover, Datang's training is rigorous and stricter than other armies, and it is completely systematic. An army that has undergone such rigorous training is ready for battle at any time.

This is also the reason why Datang always maintains a stable troop strength with one-to-six wars every year and many casualties.

However, the reserve service is a reserve service after all, and there is a serious lack of battlefield experience. Going to the battlefield rashly can quickly train a large number of qualified and experienced fighters, but the casualties may not be small.

Moreover, the transfer of reserve forces in this way will lead to a fault in the "pyramid" of Datang's military power, and the serious shortage of reserve training will have a great impact on the future.

Wang Gen looked at Wang Chong with strange eyes.

Wang Chong knew much more than him. These things really didn't seem like a teenager Wang Chong could say.

"I'll try my best to convince King Song. The imperial court's war against Mengshe Zhao will definitely start. If everything is unavoidable, what you said may be the best way."

Wang Gen sighed.

"...In addition, there is one more thing to trouble uncle."

"Go ahead."

This time Wang Chong didn't say anything, but went forward and whispered in his ear for a while.

"Uzang!!"

Wang Gen was shocked, and he already understood what Wang Chong meant.

"Uncle, please take this remark to Zhangchou Jianqiong no matter what. Southwest China is not our territory, only what Zhangchou Jianqiong said can be listened to by Xianyu Zhongtong."

Wang Chong said.

The Mengshe Zhao has never been a confidant of the Tang Dynasty, but the real confidant is Uszang. No matter when, we must always scout the movements of Wu Sizang.

If you don't understand this, the tragedy of the previous life will only repeat itself again.

"I see. Leave this matter to me."

Wang Gen finally left.

As soon as Wang Gen left, the dark cell became extremely quiet.

"Come out!"

As soon as the uncle left, Wang Chong said without raising his head.

There was silence in the dark cell at first, and after a while, several figures appeared. Zheng Chenzhou led several masters from Honglu Temple to come out from behind.

"Wang Chong, no matter what national affairs you and your uncle are discussing about, you will never leave."

Zheng Chenzhou said unceremoniously.

"This matter will not bother you."

Wang Chong said calmly.

Zheng Chenzhou snorted, and didn't bother himself, he greeted his subordinates and left.

After everyone left, Wang Chong stretched out a finger again, writing and scratching on the ground. Around him, the dense square letter paper and the map of the Tang Dynasty were several times more detailed and thicker than before.

There are so many symbols on it that are completely different from this world, and no one can understand them except Wang Chong himself!
