Chapter 642 Return to Beijing!
Chapter 642
People are refreshed on happy occasions, and a group of people greeted King Song and entered the camp on the top of the mountain together.
"Wang Chong, you must pay attention when you enter Beijing this time."
In the camp, King Song, Wang Yan, Xianyu Zhongtong, Wang Chong, Wang Fu, and Sun Liuyue sat cross-legged across from each other. King Song suppressed his smile and gradually became serious.
"You have made a great contribution this time, King Qi's lungs are about to explode. Although he can't attack you easily, he will definitely not give up easily. I got some news in Beijing that he might join forces with Hong Lu The temple makes a fuss about etiquette."
"You have made great contributions this time, and the Holy Emperor will definitely give you a reward, but if you have any problems with the etiquette of the reward, you will be caught by the speaker and let it go."
"Those officials, up to the prime minister, even the concubines and concubines in the palace dare to impeach Shangzou. Now in the imperial court, although there are many people who like you, they want to see you make a fool of yourself and make a fuss about you. There are also many."
"You are still young, if you give people the impression of being too young and frivolous, it will have a great impact on your career in the future. It is even possible to cancel your award directly, so don't be careless."
Song Wangyu said earnestly.
The turbulence in the imperial court is different from the swords and swords on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you may be doomed. No matter how much credit you make, it will be useless.
Back then, the old king of Song was imprisoned as a nobleman of the royal family and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, let alone other people. Wang Chong is still young, and he represents the greatest hope of the new generation of the Song and Wang families.
As an elder, King Song didn't want to see him being tricked by someone for such a small thing, which was why he found Wang Chong before he returned to the capital.
"I have asked Master Lu to find an old slave from Honglu Temple. He has a profound degree and knows a lot. You can go to him to study after you return to Beijing, so you won't have any problems."
"Thank you King Song."
Wang Chong bowed respectfully.
As a man in two lifetimes, Wang Chong actually knew much more than King Song, and he didn't think that Honglu Temple could really plot against him, but King Song's love and protection still moved him very much.
"Hahaha, nothing else matters. By the way, Wang Chong,
This time the emperor explained that I must stabilize the situation in the southwest. On the side of Wu Sizang and Meng Shezhao, Duan Gequan is still there, and Huoshu Guizang is also unscathed. If these two people join forces and try to do something, I'm afraid Southwest will change again by then. "
After speaking, King Song showed a worried look in his eyes, and his expression became a lot heavier.
Duan Gequan and Huoshu Guizang are both famous generals in the world. In terms of force alone, King Song is not afraid of them, but the art of war and formation is not his forte, which is why he specifically asked Wang Chong for help.
"Hehe, don't worry, Your Highness, they can't unite, and they can't make a fortune. Even if they want to, it is absolutely impossible to give them this opportunity."
Wang Chong looked at King Song and smiled.
"oh?"
King Song's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Wang Chong.
In the camp, the others were also moved in their hearts, and they all looked at Wang Chong. The current southwest border is full of waste, and Uzang and Mengshe Zhao are always a threat. If Wang Chong can solve this problem, it will solve everyone's worries.
This is another credit.
"Chong'er, are you serious?"
Wang Yan also said with a serious face.
"Hehe, of course it wouldn't work in the past, but now with King Song's 70,000 troops, everything is completely different."
Wang Chong nodded with a smile, his face full of confidence.
"The biggest threat to Uzang and Mengshezhao is not their soldiers, but their alliance. If it was before, I might really have no other way. But now, Ge Luofeng is seriously injured and unconscious. There is no one in charge of the Mengshe Zhao, and there is chaos inside and outside the court, this time is the best time for us to send troops to exert pressure."
"Song King's 70,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 40,000 of Annan's Protectorate Army, totaled 110,000 soldiers and horses. Back then, the Mongolian-Ukrainian Allied Forces had 500,000 soldiers and they couldn't do anything to us. Now their strength is greatly weakened, not as good as the original four. One-tenth, it is not our opponent."
"As long as we put 110,000 soldiers and horses on the shore of the Erhai Lake, at the junction of the Great Tang Dynasty and the Mengshe Dynasty, what choice does Your Highness think the Mengshe Dynasty will make under the internal and external troubles? Cessation of land and compensation, surrendering to the Great Tang will be their only choice." choose."
Wang Chong believed in himself.
"Ceded land for compensation?"
In the camp, everyone looked surprised and looked over. Wang Chong's proposal greatly exceeded their expectations, and the idea of land cession and compensation was also unheard of.
Wang Chong smiled, not surprised by everyone's reaction. Although the Tang Dynasty was an era when force was king, and there were certain strategies of war, some aspects were still at a very primitive level.
A war took a long time, caused many casualties, and consumed a lot of food, weapons, and war horses. But in the end, the winner only won the honorary victory, and the loser just retreated.
After a period of time, the losers gathered their strength and made a comeback again, followed by another war...
This kind of pattern keeps repeating. For Wang Chong, this is extremely inconsistent with the essence of war, and it is not in the interests of the victor.
War is for politics, but it is also for the benefit of the empire. If a war consumes a lot of money but cannot get a lot of benefits from the opponent, then the war will be a failure.
Ge Luofeng dared to win over Uzang and challenge Datang, so as a loser, he had to be prepared to pay the price for failure. Cessation of land and compensation is its best ending.
Firstly, Meng Shezhao can always remember this lesson, secondly, Datang consumes so much, it can also be made up for, and even gain far more than what he paid.
"But what if the Uzang cavalry led by Daqin Ruozan appeared at this time? We are no match for them in the plains."
Not far away, Sun Liuyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Sun is worrying too much. Even if Huoshu Guizang and Daqin Ruozan charged down from the plateau with more than 10,000 cavalry, I have the confidence to stop them. What's more, the current Uzang Cavalry is not what it used to be. If Daqin Ruozan attacks at this time, he will seek his own death."
Wang Chong smiled slowly.
The plague is spreading on the Uzbek Plateau, and there are no edible cattle and sheep at all. What's more, the Tibetans in Uzbekistan ate the Mengshezhao rice for a few days, and they were not acclimatized to the soil and water. They had severe diarrhea. When they were weak and their combat effectiveness was extremely weakened, if Daqin Ruozan dared to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, then It is really confused.
Wang Chong wished he could attack Datang at this time.
"Hahaha……"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, the camp burst into laughter. In this decisive battle, Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang were taken to their lair by Li Siye sent by Wang Chong, and in the end they had to use the food and grass from Meng Shezhao, so that most of the soldiers suffered from indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea. Facts that everyone knows.
In this battle, Daqin Ruozan completely lost to Wang Chong in terms of strategy alone.
"Haha, Daqin Ruozan probably doesn't have the guts to appear in front of Mr. Chong now."
Xianyu Zhongtong stroked his beard and smiled.
Everyone in the tent also smiled knowingly. Daqin Ruozan, as a famous general in the Southwest, tried all means, but finally lost to Wang Chong, which completely made Wang Chong's reputation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Chong is now the No. 1 player in the Southwest.
"In addition, the reason why the Uzbek Tibetans dared to go eastward and go deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty relied on the army of Mengshezhao. If there was no Mengshezhao to give them internal support and take care of them, they would not have dared to go eastward at all."
"So as long as he puts pressure on the Mengshe Zhao and makes them surrender, it is tantamount to breaking the alliance between Mengshe and Wu. As long as he breaks the alliance, Daqin Ruozan will not dare to go deep into the southwestern hinterland rashly, no matter how courageous he is."
At the end, Wang Chong's eyes were deep, revealing bursts of insightful light.
In the tent, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter. When they heard the last sentence, even Wang Chong's father, Wang Yan, couldn't help but secretly nodded.
"Hahaha, good! Wang Yan, you really gave birth to a good son, so do this! Soldiers are precious and fast, I will arrange it today, 70,000 soldiers and horses will be sent to Chen Bing Erhai to see if Mengshe's edict is accepted or not."
Song Wang laughed and applauded.
When he came here, he was still worried about how to pacify the southwest, but after listening to Wang Chong's words, Song Wang felt relaxed. An originally difficult task, under Wang Chong's narration, suddenly became extremely easy.
Rumbling, following an order from the King of Song, more than 70,000 soldiers and horses combined with 40,000 Annan Protectorate Army drove towards Erhai Lake in the south like a huge war machine.
Meng Shezhao's reaction was faster than expected, Ge Luofeng fell into a coma, and when the 110,000 Tang troops appeared by the Erhai Lake, Mengshezhao quickly succumbed.
A battle in the Southwest exhausted Mengshezhao's decades of savings, and now Mengshezhao is unable to fight anymore, even Duan Gequan is powerless to recover from this point.
As for the compensation for land cession and other compensation matters, that is another matter. At that time, Wang Chong had already set off to return to the capital.
...
"Wang Chong, the capital is just ahead!"
On the official road, Bai Siling rode a white horse and Zhao Hongying stood on the left and right, standing next to Wang Chong, and next to them were Su Hanshan, Fang Xuanying and other students from the Kunwu training camp.
After more than half a month, everyone finally rushed back to the capital from the southwest.
"Hahaha, look quickly, the entire capital knows that we are coming back, and there are lights and festoons everywhere."
Not far away, Sun Zhiming, dressed in military uniform, suddenly stretched out a finger, pointed at the city gate in the distance, and said excitedly.
Everyone followed Sun Zhiming's finger to look over, and saw that there were red lanterns hanging on the gates of the capital, which were rarely seen during the day.
And inside the city gate, there is a ray of red light coming out of the city, which can emit such a strong red light, the number of lanterns in the city can be imagined.
"Hehe, the young master has made such great contributions in the south, and now that he has returned in triumph, I am afraid that half of the capital has already known about it in advance. It is also appropriate to celebrate him with lanterns and festoons in advance."
Xu Qian smiled slightly at the side.
