This is not the Datang I am familiar with

Wu Meiniang obviously still had some anger at this time, angry that Chen Fang told Tang Jun to retreat before fighting, and retreated again and again.

At this time, Chen Fang could naturally hear the temper in Wu Meiniang's words. It seemed that he hadn't spanked recently, and he would slap him a few times when he went back at night.Pressed on the leg, took off the pants, and beat him several times.

Chen Fang walked out from the ranks of generals and looked at the civil and military courtiers in front of him.

"Bring in the sand table!"

There are actually two sand tables in the Tang Workshop. When Chen Fang asked someone to make them, one of them was sent to the Daming Palace for His Majesty and all the officials to see.

The sand table was scaled down according to the trend of mountains, rivers and rivers on the map of later generations. At this time, the sand table shows the trend of mountains, rivers and rivers in Guanzhong and its north.

It also marked the defense forces of the Tang Dynasty and the possible path of the Han army going south.The Tang army's defense was mainly concentrated on the Great Wall and the Yellow River line. When it reached the Loess Plateau, it mainly relied on the towns along the way for defense.

The possible southward route of the Han army is marked. Of course, this possibility can be removed at this time, and the direction of the Han army's southward movement has been confirmed.

The sand table was carried into the Hanyuan Hall, His Majesty and the Queen Mother had already got up and walked to the front of the sand table, and all the civil and military personnel had already stood around the sand table. Chen Fang stood in front of the sand table and placed a red sign on the edge of the Yellow River.

"According to our distance from the front line and the speed of the sentry horses, the Han army should have arrived here at this time, the Great Wall has basically fallen, and the Hetao area has been controlled by the Han army."

"Look here, everyone. This is the main defense area of ​​our Tang army along the Yellow River. If my calculation is correct, we are already preparing to retreat here. Before it gets dark today, the Han army in the north of the Yellow River will cross the Yellow River."

"My son-in-law, the Yellow River is dangerous, why doesn't my son-in-law let our frontier army guard here?"

"On the way to Hanyuan Palace, the Queen Mother also asked me this question. If we order the retreating frontier army of Tang Dynasty and the defenders along the Yellow River to stick to this line, I guess it can roughly slow down the speed of the Han army going south. Several days."

"Several days, my son-in-law, this is impossible, here are all the elites of our Great Tang."

"Everyone, how many of you have seen our artillery battalion training?"

"My son-in-law, don't let us watch the artillery battalion training!"

"Let me put it this way! If an ordinary flowering bomb falls into the crowd, within two feet, no one will survive. Within five feet, people will be injured and bruised to varying degrees. Bad luck." , will die."

"If this explosive bomb is specially treated, such as being coated with poison and filled with irregular metal debris, then the killing range and lethality will be greatly increased."

"If our army sets up defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River, judging from the local terrain, it will be difficult to find an effective cover position. In the open Yellow River bed area, the soldiers of the army will be directly exposed to the artillery fire of the Han army. It was the shelling of the Han army again and again."

"As for the Han army on the north bank of the Yellow River, we don't have many ways to suppress it. At this distance, the crossbow is already at the end of its strength, and it won't cause much damage to the Han army."

"Across the Yellow River, the opponent can use artillery to continuously destroy our defense line, but there is not much we can do. Basically on the southern line of the Yellow River, we are passively beaten."

"But my son-in-law, even so, we can't give up along the Yellow River so easily. If the Han army crosses the Yellow River, it will become more and more difficult to stop the Han army."

"So we didn't stop it, and kept letting the Han army go south. This area is dominated by loess terraces and sparsely populated, so it is not suitable for large-scale resistance."

"What does the son-in-law mean, we just put the Han army into Guanzhong, and then resist when we reach Chang'an?"

"What's the name of this lord?"

The civil servant who spoke just now shut up immediately, and didn't dare to say another word. Chen Fang looked at him, and the scared civil servant's legs were trembling at this moment, and he took a few steps away from Chen Fang, not even daring to look at him. The son-in-law took a look.

Sure enough, those who play tricks are generally timid, and Chen Fang naturally doesn't bother to argue with such people, and lowers the price.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, my lords, I would like to ask you a question. If one of your lords is allowed to lead the army and attack a place, attacking like thunder along the way, invincible, irrelevant, what will happen to this lord?"

Chapter 783

"My son-in-law, I think that if this lord leads the army to win every battle and win every battle, he will inevitably feel proud and underestimate the enemy."

"My son-in-law, what do you mean, the Han army will underestimate the enemy?"

"However, we gave up so much land, so many towns, even the Great Wall and the two lines of defense on the Yellow River, just to make the Han army carelessly underestimate the enemy. Is it worth it?"

"My lord Shangguan, my lord Changsun, General Pei stay here, the rest of you should leave!"

At this time, all the military officials looked at His Majesty and the Queen Mother, Wu Meiniang waved her hand, someone sighed, but Li Hong didn't say a word.

The queen mother waved her hand, what else did he say, whether to be the emperor or not, the queen mother's words must be listened to.

There, Changsun Wuji looked at his colleagues.

"Everyone retreat!"

Everyone walked out of the Hanyuan Hall. At this time, there were only six people left in the Hanyuan Hall, and even the maids and eunuchs serving here had already left.

Changsun Wuji, elder of the three dynasties, elder brother of Empress Changsun, uncle of Emperor Gaozong, and uncle of Li Hong at this time.

Shangguanyi, who has served in the court since Emperor Taizong, Li Hong is a little sensible, Shangguanyi is the number one figure in the official system of the Eastern Palace.

Pei Judao, at this time, the emperor's old father-in-law, who also performed the post of steward in history, has always been loyal to Li Tang.

"My son-in-law, I have already left. If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

"Your Majesty, the situation of the ministers is not good for us. If we want to break the situation at this time, we must break the situation set by the opponent."

After Chen Fang said one thing, he didn't say any more.

"It's getting late, my lords, please come back!"

The gate of Hanyuan Hall opened and eunuchs came in to carry away the sand table placed in Hanyuan Hall.

Changsun Wuji walked out of the Hanyuan Hall, and Shangguanyi next to him looked at Changsun Wuji with a slight nod and raised his hand in respect.

"Old uncle, what does the son-in-law mean?"

"Sir Shangguan's son-in-law's words need to be carefully understood."

Changsun Wuji sold a lawsuit and has already stepped out of Hanyuan Hall.

Pei Judao was stroking his long beard at this time, wondering why the son-in-law likes to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence.Just now Lord Shangguan asked old uncle Pei Judao that he wanted to hear old uncle's opinion, but who knew that old uncle only said a word of the son-in-law, which needs to be understood slowly.

The three adults left Wu Meiniang but did not leave Hanyuan Hall, but took the hands of her eldest son and Chen Fang.

"There is no one else here who can always finish talking."

"The Queen Mother has finished speaking!"

"Mother and son don't understand much."

"I don't know how to think for myself!"

Wu Meiniang let go of Li Hong's hand and walked out of the Hanyuan Hall.Chen Fang hurriedly followed outside the Hanyuan Hall and opened the umbrella in his hand.

The two walked to the carriage of Tang Workshop.Concubine Jing opened the car curtain from the inside.

In the carriage, Wu Meiniang leaned against the carriage wall and wanted to say something, but she looked at Concubine Jing and said nothing.

Chen Fang also leaned against the wall of the carriage, calming down a little.

Concubine Jing looked at the queen mother, then at the son-in-law, and slowly leaned her head on Chen Fang's shoulder. Chen Fang hit Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing's hand gently grabbed the son-in-law's hand and placed it in her arms.

"Concubine Jing!"

Chen Fang spat out two words softly, but Concubine Jing did not let go.

"Chen Fang, can you confirm that there are also wars in other places?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Chen Fang. They had said this before, and Concubine De was there when they said it.

"Queen Mother, the situation has become chaotic. If I set up this situation, the Han army going south is only the first step, and the subsequent situation will unfold step by step."

"How sure are you?"

"Queen, everything I have is in the Great Tang. When the Great Tang dies, the ministers die."

"I don't have any doubts about you, don't get me wrong. If one day the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, I am willing to die in your arms."

"Consort, me too!"

Chen Fang's hand tightened, and Concubine Jing cried out in pain.

Chen Fang slowly released Concubine Jing, and took out her hand.

"My son-in-law, you hurt me."

"Concubine Jing, don't mess around. I didn't see that the son-in-law is upset now, but he still hooks up with him like this, isn't he angry?"

"I just want the son-in-law to relax."

Wu Meiniang sighed, ever since Concubine Jing was touched by Chen Fang, Concubine Jing has never looked at Chen Fang in the right way, at this time, she still has the mind to let her son-in-law bully her.

When the carriage arrived at Tang Workshop, Chen Fang sent Wu Meiniang and Concubine Jing into the yard.

Chen Fang turned and left, and Wu Meiniang handed her umbrella to Chen Fang.

Wu Meiniang and Concubine Jing slowly entered the courtyard, while Xiaolan closed the courtyard door behind them.

"Empress Dowager, did I offend the son-in-law? He was so aggressive just now that I almost thought he was going to crush my place."

"I sent it to my son-in-law. How he handles it is his business. It depends on you."

"I still want to mess around. It's better to ignore me than to ignore me. Even if he beats me and scolds me, I'm willing."

"Concubine Jing, when the Han army comes to Xiaoguan, you and Concubine De will go back to your hometown to take shelter."

"I won't go back, and Xin'er won't go back either. Anyway, I'm the son-in-law's woman now, and I'll die with him when I die."

Chen Fang went back to his courtyard and saw Tiantian and Wan'er teasing Sisi. It was raining heavily these days, and the two little girls basically stayed with Sisi.

After looking at the three children, Chen Fang no longer had any sorrow on his face.

"My son-in-law, the imperial court summoned us urgently, but something happened in the frontier?"

"Your Highness is Bingxue smart. It is true that something happened at the border."

"How is it now?"

"The situation is not very good, but rest assured, Your Highness, as long as I am here, nothing will happen to His Highness."

"Well! As long as you are here, both Yiyang and Huangmei will feel at ease."
