    Time flies, and a month passed by Dou Jiande in front of Hulao Pass.  This month, Dou Jiande urged his soldiers to attack Hulao Pass day and night, but a month passed.  Dou Jiande found nothing but corpses everywhere.  In fact, not even a single brick of the city wall was removed from Hulao Gate.

    ¡°I thought that Hulao Pass was strong, but I never thought that Hulao Pass was as strong as this.  The Tang army could not hold on, and Dou Jiande felt that even if all 300,000 of his men were dead, he might not be able to capture Hulao Pass.  Decadence began to spread among the army, and more and more people hoped to return to Hebei.  When they attacked Meng Jiong, they had already reaped the benefits.  Nowadays, it is serious to go home and buy a house and land. Who cares about being beaten to death here?

    "Should we withdraw our troops?" Not only the soldiers thought so, but also Dou Jiande.  Hulao Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang. If this door cannot be opened, it is impossible to solve the siege of Luoyang.

    There were no outsiders in the military tent. Apart from the guards, there were only Dou Jiande's confidants and advisers, and the Imperial Academy offered wine to Ling Jing.  Such words that shake the morale of the army can only be said to Ling Jing.  Even my wife Cao couldn't say such a thing.  Women have long tongues, so once word spreads, there will be no need to fight.  Being able to bring all the troops back to Hebei is just a matter of smoke billowing from the ancestral graves.

    "You can live in peace if you withdraw your troops? Your Majesty! You and Wang Shichong are related, and his son Wang Xuanying is your adopted son. Will Wang Xuanying agree to withdraw our troops now? Once the seeds of hatred are planted in the heart, they will take root and sprout, and Xiao Qiang can foresee the disaster.

    The Tang army has been besieging the city for almost a year, and even if Luoyang City has some food reserves, it has been almost exhausted.  Wang Shichong can't last long, and the most important thing now is how to open up contact with Luoyang.  "

    "Do you think I don't want to open up contact with Luoyang? But Hulao is in the hands of Li Tang, so it's not easy to get through." Dou Jiande impatiently patted the table, thinking that Ling Jing had some good ideas.  Unexpectedly, Ling Jing came up with such a bad idea.  Who doesn't want to contact Luoyang yet, but the current situation is that they can't be contacted.

    "Who said we must capture Hulao? Your Majesty, why not send all your troops across the Yellow River, capture Huaizhou and Heyang, send heavy generals to guard them, beat the war drums, raise the war flag, cross the Taihang Mountains, enter Shangdang, and seize the territory  Fenzhou and Jinzhou rushed to Pujin. This has three advantages: first, entering an uninhabited territory, and victory can be said to be foolproof; second, opening up the collar to recruit troops and horses, making the country stronger; third, the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong was shocked  , Zheng Guo's siege of Luoyang will naturally be lifted. No current strategy is more in line with His Majesty's interests than this step." Ling Jingyin said thoughtfully.

    "But you just said that Wang Shichong can't hold on for long, and Wang Shichong will starve to death in Luoyang City." Of course Dou Jiande knew this idea. In fact, Ling Jing had suggested this a month ago, but it was just because of the generals.  Just rejected.

    "If the Tang army does not retreat, we can seize their retreat if we march into Tongguan. Wang Shichong will starve to death, and the best of Li and Tang will have to accompany him to be buried. If that happens, it will be the greatest benefit to our Daxia. Your Majesty  Unification of the world will be just around the corner."

    "But Xuanying!" Dou Jiande said with some embarrassment.

    "Your Majesty is deeply in love, and the Queen refuses to take concubines even if she has nothing to do. This matter is deeply morally noble, but you are your Majesty's great king. That's what you should consider. If the Tang army refuses to retreat, your Majesty will be in danger."  You can annihilate the main force of the Tang army. Then send your troops into Guanzhong, and then the world will be yours. With so many beauties, does your Majesty really need this Wang Xuanying?" Ling Jing's words were gloomy, with a chill in them.

    "You! How brave!" Dou Jiande's eyes almost burst out with fire. It's up to you to decide whether I want a little wife or not.

    "If your Majesty is angry, just kill Ling Jing. As long as you adopt Ling's suggestion, the world will be unified again, and the people will no longer be homeless and starve to death everywhere. It doesn't matter if I, Ling Jing, die."

    "You!" Dou Jiande spoke with trembling lips, wanting to kill this bastard.  But it can't be chopped off, Daxia still needs this smart head.  This kind of guy who doesn't care about his head is a headache for all kings.

    "Your Majesty! Your Highness is back, but!" A guard came in to report hurriedly.

    "What's wrong?" Dou Jiande's heart tightened. Could it be that something would happen if he went out to collect food?

    "The grain collection team led by His Highness met General Qin Qiong of the Tang Army. His Highness was injured and was on his way back to camp."

    "Qin Qiong! Order Xu Yuanlang to lead troops to respond and must bring the prince back." Dou Jiande frowned, Ling Jing's words came to mind again.  After looking at Ling Jing's bright eyes, Dou Jiande made up his mind.  No matter what happens to Wang Shichong, he must first reap the benefits.  In this day and age, having a base and soldiers is strength.

    &nb"Ms. Cao's hands were kneading Dou Jiande's feet for a while. Dou Jiande was so comfortable that he could hardly sit still!

    "Actually, if I tell you, Ling Jing's method is really not very good. It seems to have gained some territory and benefits, but in fact? Those are places where Li Tang didn't station many troops. Even if Li Tang was defeated, Li Tang's losses would be limited.  .You know, Li Tang¡¯s financial resources are in Bashu and Jiangnan, definitely not in Shanxi and Henan.

    "It's a good thing for us to copy other people's escape routes, but if Li Tang kills Dou Jiande, it will be a good thing."  You are trying your best to kill, but you have no soldiers in your hand. How can you really stop them?

    The most important thing is that His Majesty has promised Wang Shichong.  Xuanying is your adopted son, if we do this.  Not only will it hurt your relative's feelings, but it will also damage His Majesty's credibility.  A person cannot stand without trust, if there is no trust.  In the future, who will dare to believe His Majesty¡¯s words?  You have no joke!  You are the emperor now!  "

    What he said made Dou Jiande no longer sleepy. Even if a woman has long hair, she is short-sighted.  But there is some truth in what he said.  Starting your own business relies on loyalty.  From a small gang to today, how many old brothers are willing to die for themselves.  Isn¡¯t it just because of your own integrity?

    If you really ruin the credibility you have accumulated over the past few decades because of listening to Ling Jing's words, the loss will be huge.

    "Then what do you want me to do?" Dou Jiande leaned on the low couch, enjoying Cao's kneading, and said with his eyes closed.

    "These government affairs are not something I can interfere with, but since Your Majesty asked about it, I just said some silly thoughts!

    We also attacked Hulao Pass for almost a month, although many people died.  But most of these were soldiers and civilians, and the losses of His Majesty's army were actually very limited.  But look, the Tang army on the city wall also suffered heavy losses.  We can always get one of them killed or wounded in exchange for three or four of our casualties.

    How many people did the Tang army have?  I want to keep an eye on Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and I want to guard Hulao Pass.  They also have to send elite cavalry to attack our army's food road. In fact, their manpower is already stretched thin.

    "As long as your Majesty orders people to recruit some strong people, he will lure them with generous rewards to attack the city and consume the Tang army."  If it takes a few more days, the Tang army will not be able to use it up anymore.  At that time, His Majesty ordered the army to attack.  What can Tang Jun do to resist?  This method consumes all the strength of the Tang army.  It is much more useful than occupying those counties.

    As long as the Tang army suffers heavy casualties, whether it is marching into Guanzhong or relieving the siege of Luoyang.  The initiative is in the hands of the king, and if it is operated properly, it will be just around the corner to unify the world.  "Cao made a big cake for Dou Jiande in one breath. The picture was beautiful and the taste was sweet. Dou Jiande was completely addicted to it. The temptation of dominating the world had a fatal attraction for him.

    Dou Jiande opened his eyes and started chattering around.  This is a solution, the lives of civilian husbands are worthless.  As long as a high-ranking official is promised a generous salary, there is no reason not to risk one's life.  As long as they can exhaust the Tang army's effective strength in front of Hulao Pass.  What qualifications did Li Tang and Wang Shichong, who was still alive, have to compete with him for the world.

    "Your Majesty! The Imperial Academy is offering wine to Ling Jing to ask for an audience!" A guard came in to report.

    "No! Just say that His Majesty has gone to bed. If you have business matters to discuss tomorrow. If you have private matters, just say that the Emperor has no private matters." Cao Shi said it back, and in the afternoon Wang Wan sent a pearl as big as an egg.  This is a rare thing. It is not a good habit to accept other people's things and not do things for them.  When accepting bribes, you must also pay attention to your credibility.

    The guard glanced at Dou Jiande, nodded slightly when he saw Dou Jiande, and went out immediately!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
