Chapter 258

"General, order the siege."

A general said excitedly.

"No way."

"You see, the wall of Xiangyang City is four or five feet high. If you attack the city rashly, it will only make the soldiers bleed fearlessly."

"And don't forget why the king of Xiangyang was made a vassal. That's because Zhao Hong made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He was also a Veteran General in the battlefield."

"Today's Xiangyang City, after more than ten years of operation by Zhao Hong, is by no means easy for us to conquer."

Yue Fei calm analysis.

Yue Fei didn't feel that the Tang army was invincible because of several victories, but he always had to keep a cool head.

"What the general said is that Xiangyang City must not be attacked by force, otherwise our army may not be able to bear such losses, and we are also ashamed of the trust of the emperor."

Wang Xiaojie is a Taoist.

In fact, the generals all nodded, because they were too anxious.

"According to the commander-in-chief's order, we should retreat three miles and set up camp."

Retreating three li means setting up camp ten li away from Xiangyang City.

Two days later, Li Xian came to the Tang army camp outside Xiangyang City. At the same time, the camp also raised the Yellow Dragon flag. This information was immediately learned by Xiangyang King's spies.

"See you, my emperor."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Two hundred thousand soldiers cried out in unison, and the voice was heard far away in Xiangyang City.

"All the officers and men are flat."

"Thank you, my emperor."

All the soldiers said.

Then Li Xian went to Longzhang.

Zhao Hong, the king of Xiangyang, also got the news and summoned the civil and military officials under his command.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that Li Xian came outside Xiangyang City, and now he is in the camp."

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

"King, this may not be good news for us."

Zhao Hong frowned.

"Your Majesty, Li Xian's coming to Xiangyang is not a simple inspection. I'm afraid there is another meaning in it."

Zhao Hong asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, let's fight in person."

"So what?"

"King, once the emperor drives his troops, it means that he must break a place. It's the same all the time. The emperor's majesty can't be violated."

People also understand, yes! Li Xian's personal expedition has changed the meaning of the war, which means that the Tang army must win. Only by winning can the Tang army fight against his Majesty's personal expedition.

If the emperor's personal expedition fails, the consequences will be very serious.

Yang Guang's three personal expeditions to Koguryo in the former Sui Dynasty all ended in failure, which also led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

During the three expeditions to Koguryo, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty paid countless manpower and material resources.

And the war all ended in failure, which also dealt a great blow to the prestige of Sui Yang emperor. This led to the later peasant uprising and the four powerful forces.

"King, but once we win this war, it's also very important for him."

"The prestige of the king will be greatly increased, but the prestige of Li Xian will be hit. Even the people of the Tang Dynasty will question whether Li Xian is the real emperor or not. I believe Li Dan will not miss this opportunity afterwards."

"Good! What Mr. Zhang said is very much in line with Gu's mind. This time, Gu will let the world know that Li Xian is just a wine sack. He is dreaming of conquering Xiangyang City! "

Zhao Hongda said.

"Newspaper! The army of the Tang Dynasty is fighting under the city. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to see the king. "

A soldier ran into the lane.

"Ladies and gentlemen, follow me to the castle."

Zhao Hongda said.

"It's the king."

On the horse, all the people rode to the north gate.

In ancient times, horse riding was a necessary lesson for both generals and officials.

Immediately everyone came to the North Tower, and saw that Li Xian was tightly protected by several generals under the city. At the same time, hundreds of elite cavalry guards were on both sides.

"Li Xian, do you want to see Gu?"

Zhao Hongda said.

"Zhao Hong, you are blessed and granted the title of vassal. You don't want to serve the emperor's kindness. You are on the road of treason and treason. Aren't you afraid that people from all over the world will point their finger at you?"

"Ha ha ha Li Xian, since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy

"Gu believes that Gu is the final winner. It's impossible for you to conquer Xiangyang City."

"Li Xian, if you know the truth, you should go back to Luoyang immediately."

Zhao Honghong said with a smile.

"Zhao Hong, I will take Xiangyang City in ten days." ..
