Chapter 553 Meet the Old Friends! Zhang Shouzhi!

Chapter 553

"The guards don't have to blame themselves. Invincibility in battle is not a crime of soldiers. Mengshe Zhao and Wu Sizang colluded with each other, and both sides mobilized in full force. There are more than 500,000 soldiers in total. If Mengshe Zhao is added to this There are probably no less than 100,000 civilians and servants used in this war. With the strength of 180,000 elites from the Annan Dufu Mansion alone, it may be difficult to support it alone, and it is difficult to resist. This is not only the Duhu, but other people Probably the same."

Wang Yance came immediately and comforted him.

The time Wang Yan led the army was not shorter than that of Xianyu Zhongtong, and even longer in some respects. However, unlike others, Wang Yan did not report any position or prejudice against Xianyu Zhongtong. Although the Battle of Erhai Lake, including the failure of the Annan Protectorate Army, Xianyu Zhongtong cannot absolve himself of the blame.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that Mengshezhao and Wusizang have great power.

The southwest of the empire has been peaceful for decades, and everyone has been living in peace. No one thought that Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang would have such great courage, and they would completely tear their skins apart with Datang. And once the war started, it was mobilizing the power of the whole country, and there was no intention of leaving any place for the world.

Facing Ge Luofeng's massive attack, not to mention Xianyu Zhongtong, if it was someone else, it is very likely that he would lose the battle.

With an army of 180,000 against 500,000 foreign allied forces, the weak can defeat the strong. Maybe a certain general in other armies has this talent, but Xianyu Zhongtong obviously doesn't have it. It is also unrealistic to generally require all generals in the army with this requirement.

This is the reason why Wang Yan did not report his prejudice against Xianyu Zhongtong.

"The general doesn't need to comfort me. How can I not know what kind of faults and responsibilities I shoulder in this battle? One hundred thousand generals and soldiers are rarely to blame. After this battle is over, if they are lucky enough to survive, they will Go to Shengjing and plead guilty to the emperor!"

Xianyu Zhongtong said with a wry smile.

Hearing this remark, the others didn't react yet, but Wang Chong's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Xianyu Zhongtong in surprise.

Without his participation in the previous life, the 180,000 Annan Protectorate Army was wiped out, and only Xianyu Zhongtong survived. For such a big matter, afterward, Xianyu Zhongtong actually thought of covering up his mistakes, tried his best to shirk his responsibility, and tried his best to beautify his performance in the war, which made people deeply ashamed.

Wang Chong had heard too many words like this, so he naturally had a bad impression of Xianyu Zhongtong.

But today's retelling before the opening of the Dian Monument in Hanwu is rare from Yu Zhongtong's heart, and Wang Chong can tell that it is definitely not a fake.

Compared with Xianyu Zhongtong's performance back then, it was nothing like mud. This is the style of a real general with responsibility.

"Is it my meddling that changed the course of the incident, or did something else happen during the war that year that I don't understand?"

Wang Chong glanced at Xianyu Zhongtong, and his heart went up and down.

Back then, Xianyu Zhongtong was reviled by thousands of people. If he was really as responsible and courageous as he is today, he wouldn't be like this. Wang Chong's mind went up and down one after another. In the dark, Wang Chong thought of Zhangchou Jianqiong who was far away in the capital. In an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Wang Chong seemed to understand something.

"It seems that everything is still on Zhangchou Jianqiong!"

Wang Chong sighed suddenly in his heart, and he already understood the crux of the matter.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. With Xianyu Zhongtong's nature, there will be no such big change. But if Zhangchou Jianqiong intervenes, then everything will be completely different. Xianyu Zhongtong's nature is not bad, but Zhangchou Jianqiong Qiong is not far behind. But Zhangchou Jianqiong's study and understanding of rights is far beyond anyone else. For such a big incident in Southwest, Zhangchou Jianchou cannot be blamed, and it is impossible for him to sit still. Hold on. Even if Xianyu Zhongtong wants to plead guilty, I'm afraid Zhangchou Jianqiong will never allow it. If he intervenes, it is impossible for Xianyu Zhongtong to dare to resist, and it is only a matter of time before he changes his mind."

Wang Chong actually only met Zhangchou Jianqiong a few times. Even in his previous life, this kind of great general of the empire was not something that Wang Chong could easily come into contact with. Most of the time, Wang Chong could only get to know the "Tiger of the Empire" in the southwest through other people's mouths.

However, in just a few minutes, Wang Chong had never left a deep impression on the former Annan Grand Guard of the empire.

This, no one has ever been able to do before.

No matter whether it was supporting Yang Zhao before, coaxing him to enter the capital and contact Concubine Taizhen; or later, when the old minister of the Ministry of War was retiring, he insisted on going his own way and set foot in the capital to find a way to replace the old minister of the Ministry of War; or he met himself later. , after a few words, he handed over his personal token to himself without hesitation...

For this tiger of the Southwest Empire who has reached the "Mandate of Destiny", his attitude towards power has always been consistent and has never changed.

His decisiveness and courage derived from this base point are enough to impress anyone.

"In the Southwest War, many people's attention was focused on Xianyu Zhongtong and the elite of the 180,000 capital guards, while Zhangchou Jianqiong who was far away in the capital was ignored. Xianyu Zhongtong was Zhangchou Jianqiong's subordinate, and he was also responsible for it." Promotion. If Zhangchou Jianqiong makes a request, he will definitely not be able to refuse."

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

"Also,...all this has really changed!"

The army of 180,000 was annihilated, and Xian Yu Zhongtong, as the commander-in-chief, could hardly escape the blame, and there was only one dead end. So he wants to cover up his faults and shirk his responsibilities, because not shirking is death. But now, there are still 80,000 remaining in the 180,000 Annan Protectorate Army. Although Xianyu Zhongtong cannot absolve himself of the blame, he will not end up dying after all.

As long as this step is not reached, Xianyu Zhongtong is obviously still the coach he knows.

"Time makes man!"

Wang Chong sighed in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness, or other tempers.

Xianyu Zhongtong is a straight man and a general of the Tang Dynasty, his nature is not bad. As long as there is still a chance, Wang Chong does not want this soldier of the empire to turn into the national traitor that everyone scolded in his previous life.

"drive!"

Wang Chong took a deep breath, clamped his horse's belly, and jumped away from the side of the Hanwu Kaidian Monument, heading towards the foot of the mountain. There, Wang Chong had seen several acquaintances waiting early.

"Hahaha, son, I'm finally waiting for you!"

Before Wang Chong could start, a thin old man in Tsing Yi, in his fifties, with sharp eyes, took a step forward suddenly, stretched out his skinny hands, and greeted Wang Chong with a happy and excited face:

"I knew that if you can succeed, you will definitely succeed!"

The old man was smiling, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

"Hahaha, Zhang Shouzhi, Mr. Zhang, you really didn't disappoint me this time... I kept you waiting!"

Wang Chong turned over, jumped off the White Hoofed Crow, and tightly held Zhang Shouzhi's hands.

The thin old man with slightly white temples and wearing Tsing Yi in front of him is naturally the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time the real builder of the Lion City, Zhang Shouzhi, the greatest hero in this Southwest War. Although the breakout of the entire Annan Protectorate Army took advantage of the heavy rain yesterday, the breakout by Zhang Shouzhi and others was actually much earlier than this.

"Hehe, I was really worried about the defeat in the Southwest War for a long time. Later, when I heard that the young master was going south, I immediately knew that there was absolutely no problem in the southwestern part of the empire. Young Master, it's great to see you!"

Zhang Shouzhi held Wang Chong's hand hard, and said excitedly, that kind of strength, as if pinning all his hopes on Wang Chong.

Wang Chong didn't say much, he just opened his arms and gave him a warm and grateful hug.

For more than a year, compared with the appearance I saw when I was in the capital, the old man in front of me was obviously thinner, and the whole person looked much haggard. In more than a year, on the vast plain, from nothing to a majestic steel city that can accommodate more than 100,000 people and withstand the attack of more than 500,000 troops...

Such a feat, Cheng Haoyi, if it was not the old man in front of him, but someone else, no one would be able to complete it.

Wang Chong respected the old man who was nearly 40 years old in front of him. This time, 80,000 of the 180,000 Annan Protectorate Army survived, and Zhang Shouzhi made the most of the contribution. No one can deny this!

"Thanks a lot!"

Wang Chong said with emotion.

"Master, you are serious, but in fact, it is you that they should really thank!"

Zhang Shouzhi raised his head, looked at the young man in front of him and said.

From the initial contempt when we first met, to the shock when the city was built later, to the admiration now... Only Zhang Shouzhi understands what he has experienced. In Lion City, he enjoyed the admiration and vigilance of the heroes of the entire Annan Protectorate Army, but only Zhang Shouzhi understood that Wang Chong was the hero behind all this.

When he was still hesitating about building the city, and he could only see the art of engineering, what Wang Chong saw was the fate of the entire Southwest, as well as the entire empire's 180,000 troops, and the lives of nearly a million civilians. In the end, everything and everything proved Wang Chong's original prediction.

Even Zhang Shouzhi didn't really understand what he was doing until the last moment, when more than 100,000 Annan Guardsmen swarmed into the city!

If you live high in the temple, you will worry about your ruler; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your people!

Zhang Shouzhi felt the purest patriotism with the world in mind for this young man whose eyes were vaguely strange. For Zhongtu and Datang, this young man seemed to have the most burning and intense emotion in his heart, a fiery emotion that Zhang Shouzhi had never felt in anyone else.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to say any more. All of this was forged by the two of us! Without you, I would absolutely not be able to complete all of this."

Wang Chong said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke further. There are some things that both of them know very well, so there is no need to talk about them.

The emergence of the "Lion City" is a miracle, and its appearance has changed the fate of the entire Southwest. No one can deny this, whether it is now or in the future. More importantly, he also firmly connected the two of them during the crisis.

An invisible bond connected Wang Chong and Zhang Shouzhi together.

Wang Chong gained Zhang Shouzhi's eternal trust, and Zhang Shouzhi also gained Wang Chong's eternal trust!
