At dawn, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and the long-lost sunlight poured out from behind the thin clouds, shining on the earth.The snow reflected the sun shining brightly, and the weather was not very cold.
This is probably the last heavy snowfall this winter, and it will usher in a spring rain in a few days.However, the military remonstrance that began in winter has already engulfed the entire Guanzhong, and the troops are in chaos everywhere. In order to maintain a huge military force, the Guanlong army has been scraping food everywhere, and even the seeds left by the court and farmers have been confiscated. If there is no accident, it will be Seriously affect this year's spring ploughing.
Therefore, although the cold winter is about to pass, the people in Guanzhong are all worried. If the spring ploughing is delayed, it will directly affect the livelihood of the year.In these years, Guanzhong has been stable and the people have been prosperous. As long as you think about the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, so they greeted the eighteen generations of Guanlong's ancestors who raised military advice. over and over again.
Whether the crown prince is virtuous or not can be considered in the future. The current emperor is His Majesty Li Er. For so many years, he has worked diligently in government affairs to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. He is already a rare good emperor. , Why bother tossing to and fro?
Even if this prince is not good, is it possible to replace it with another one?
At the foot of the emperor, the common people are close to the center, and they are naturally well-informed.Most of them all understand why the Guanlong families raised military remonstrances, saying that the prince is cowardly and not like a prince is nonsense. In the final analysis, it is the prince who stated early that he will continue His Majesty Li’s national policy of suppressing clans and supporting poor clans, and selecting scholars through imperial examinations. It will gradually replace the previous recommendation system, which obviously moved the foundation of the clan, and a life-and-death struggle is naturally inevitable.
However, what makes the people angry is that your big bosses in the court have nothing to do with us who are fighting for power, but in order to fight for power and profits, the entire Guanzhong is involved in military disasters, and the stability and wealth of the people are completely destroyed. This is immoral.
Therefore, the people of Guanzhong are full of grievances about what the Guanlong clan has done, but they dare not speak out when there are chaos soldiers everywhere. Negative, quickly end this military disaster, so that everyone's life can return to the previous peace and contentment...
This resentment is not only gradually accumulating among the people, but even in the Guanlong army, there are rumors. For the soldiers at the bottom, their family members are all in Guanzhong. Almost everywhere in Guanzhong wearing filial piety, hanging flags in every village, wives lose their husbands, old people lose their sons, children lose their fathers, and the cries are endless.
As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, if foreign tribes invaded and poisoned their compatriots, it would not be a problem for everyone to fight to the death in battle. Since ancient times, the children of Lao Qin have not been afraid of life and death.However, everyone is just a slave, a merchant, and a tenant. Now they are armed by the master to participate in the military remonstrance. Not only do their own people beat their own people, but they also bully the masters and ministers. Who is willing to bear such a sacrifice?
If you win, the benefits are the master's, but if you defeat, you will become a rebel, and every family will be wiped out of the three clans...
A surge of resentment gradually condensed in the army, causing the morale of Guanlong's army to drop to the valley visibly, and the army's heart was turbulent.
These emotions began to feed back layer by layer from the bottom, and finally reached the top of Guanlong.When Yuwenjie presented countless letters of Guanlong's remonstrance to Zhangsun Wuji's desk, even though he was always in a deep state, Zhangsun Wuji, who boasted that Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him without changing his face, couldn't help but secretly tremble.
Looking through these letterheads, most of them responded to the soldiers' complaints about the soldiers' remonstrance.
Changsun Wuji put the letter aside, rubbed his temples, and sighed, "It seems that we have to win a big victory, otherwise the military will not be stable, and things may change."
The morale of the army is the foundation of the army, but this thing cannot be seen or touched. If it is deliberately boosted morale and stabilized from the inside, it is not easy.The best way is to win continuously and naturally suppress all negative emotions.
Yuwenjie nodded and said, "That's right. Since Fang Jun returned to Beijing, several consecutive raids have severely damaged our army, which has led to the discoloration of the army and the fear."
Taking a sip of tea, he lifted his injured leg up on the stool beside him, and massaged it slowly with his palm, Zhangsun Wuji said with a wry smile: "The guards in Youtun are strong and strong, and they have not lost a single battle in the South and North, so they can be called the number one in the Tang Dynasty. Strong army. The Anxi army brought back by Fang Jun this time is even more fierce in the Western Regions to fight the Great Food Country, but the absolute disadvantage turned defeat into victory, not to mention the brave Tubo Huqi... Our army is even a few serious houses. There are no soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the crowd is rabble. Against such a strong army, they are discouraged by three points before the battle is fought. After the battle, the morale is even lower, and they are completely depressed. I want to boost morale through a big victory. , especially difficult.”
Fang Jun's several raids were all with fewer wins, which made Changsun Wuji clearly compare the huge gap in combat power between the two sides.
If you want to raid Fang Jun, you can only mobilize more troops, otherwise there is no chance of winning, but once tens of thousands of troops are mobilized, how can it be considered a raid?When the Youtun Guards were fully prepared and ready to fight, the original raid could only turn into a big battle, or even a decisive battle.
And when all the clans in the world have already raised their troops to go to Guanzhong, it is a serious violation of Changsun Wuji's strategy to have such a big battle or even a decisive battle.
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji hesitating, Yuwenjie sounded the patriarch's advice, he hesitated in his heart, and whispered: "In the current situation, the two sides are deadlocked, and no one can do anything about the other. Even if the reinforcements from the world's clans arrive, there will also be people in the East Palace. The Anxi Army has rushed to the aid of thousands of miles, and the outcome of the battle is still unpredictable. Even if we win in the end, it will only be a tragic victory, and the heritage accumulated over hundreds of years will be lost. At that time, what else would you use to dominate the government and control the center?"
Zhangsun Wuji's expression darkened instantly, his eyes stared fiercely at Yuwenjie, and he was silent for a while before asking every word: "Is this your own words, or is it the intention of the Yuwen family?"
Yuwenjie was a little uneasy under the other party's momentum, swallowed his saliva, and smiled bitterly: "Not only the meaning of Yuwen's family, but also the meaning of many gatekeepers."
This battle has reached this point, and it has already exceeded the loss that eldest grandson Wuji promised to each family, and the hoped-for benefits are far away. If in the end, instead of winning, but losing the battle, the consequences will be unbearable for all Guanlong clansmen. of.
Coupled with the constant complaints from the bottom of the various families and the serious loss of strength, many clans have become war-weary, and feel that this military remonstrance has not only failed to achieve the goal, but has seriously damaged the wealth of each family...
Changsun Wuji did not get angry, his face was gloomy as if water would drip, and he slowly asked: "This battle has been fought so far, and the sword is out of the sheath and the arrow is out of the string. Is it possible that you can surrender?"
Yuwenjie shook his head and said, "Surrender is absolutely impossible. Although we are in deep mud and it is unsustainable, the advantage is still on our side. If we continue to fight, the victory will still be on our side... Of course we cannot surrender, but What about peace talks?"
"Peace talk?"
Zhangsun Wuji's face was gloomy, these two words were simply spit out from his back molars.
This military remonstrance was his one-handed plan, and many gatekeepers who were unwilling to participate were also pulled in by him by soft or hard means. If he finally won, the greatest interest would naturally belong to him.But if there is a peace negotiation, it means that his plan has completely failed, not only will he not get any benefits, but even the status of Guanlong's leader will be seriously threatened and replaced by others.
First, someone planned the rebellion of Guanlong soldiers in the Eastern Expedition army behind his back, and now they have reached an agreement in private to negotiate peace... In Changsun Wuji's view, this is an unbridled betrayal of him.
When the situation is going well, you swarm to grab benefits, and when the situation is unfavorable, you scramble to stab Laozi in the back?
His anger was about to burst out, and the only remaining rationality prompted him to suppress this anger, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Everyone loves their families, but they all forget where these families come from. At that time, all the Guanlong families all stood on the side of the prince Yang Yong, but Yang Guang won the emperor's position, resulting in a big defeat for the Guanlong families, and Yang Guang, together with the clans in Jiangnan and Shandong, almost decided the foundation! Do you remember who pulled your families out of the abyss and pushed them to the pinnacle of power in the world?"
