Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 139 Shocked Chang'an City, Li Jing was defeated!

Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Will they be willing to give it back?"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, "They made a lot of money by [modifying] the curved plow. Now they have made such a big mistake. The people in various places are full of resentment. Chang'an City is willing to help them clean up their mess. What reason do they have to refuse?"

"That's true, but..."

Qin Qiong sighed, "This will make life difficult for the craftsmen and the Ministry of Works in Chang'an, as well as the people who sell the finished curved plows to the people in various states and counties."

Zhang Sun Wuji said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. We have entrusted our trust to the wrong person..."

"None of these noble families are good! But we...can't touch them..."

Qin Qiong nodded: "Then let's do as you say, Xuanling, it's up to you to do it, go quickly."

"Shubao, I understand!"

Fang Xuanling accepted the order and slowly took his leave.

After this incident, Qin Qiong and other dukes, who were originally in a good mood because they had solved most of the conflicts in the country, had their moods largely dissipated and they became helpless.

The same is true for Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui.

Aristocratic family….
Really, it is a stumbling block to imperial power and the court.

"Shubao, it's okay. At least our current troubles are only caused by the aristocratic family."

"You know, ten years ago, our Qin Palace not only had to face the hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen of Jie Li Khan, but also various voices of doubt in the country, and the nobles were also ready to usurp the throne."

"The situation back then was much more serious than it is now."

Du Ruhui comforted.

Hearing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but think of those turbulent days and laughed: "That's true."

"General Qin!"

And, at this moment, Li Junxian walked in again with a serious look.

Qin Qiong's eyes flickered: "Jun Xian, is there another bad news?"

He began to wonder, really, don’t have it anymore…
Can!
Reality is often so cruel.

Li Junxian nodded: "Yes, it came from Jiangdong."

Jiangdong!!
In an instant, the eyes of Qin Qiong and the other two brightened.

Is there a result of the war?
Yes, it must be so!
But their eyes soon dimmed again, because Li Junxian said that this seemed... to be bad news.

"This is a handwritten letter from General Li Jing. Please have a look, General Qin!"

Li Junxian handed over the letter with both hands.

Qin Qiong quickly took it and opened it quickly.

Take a quick look.

His stern expression turned into disbelief as he read on.

"What! Lost?"

"Tens of thousands of Tiger Divisions were defeated by the Yan Kingdom's army in two hours! The Yan Kingdom's white-robed cavalry were like the reincarnation of the God of Death, slaughtering our army at will!"

"Even...even Yaojin was captured!"

Qin Qiong's eyes widened.

stunned!

sluggish!

Shock!

Unbelievable! !
He couldn't believe that something went wrong in the place where it was least likely to go wrong...
Moreover, the defeat was so tragic!
Then...what's going on with the Baiyun City that hasn't yet gained a foothold? Why does it have such a powerful military force that can easily defeat the army that makes the Tang Dynasty proud!
"Impossible, Shubao, this is fake news! It must be fake news!"

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened and turned red.

He doesn't believe it!
How could tens of thousands of Tiger Divisions be defeated by Baiyun City, which had not yet established a foothold, and was led by Li Jing!
Among these tens of thousands of tiger divisions, there is the Tianji Battalion, which is called the Spear of the Empire! Although this Tianji Battalion was established in Chang'an City, their military appearance was inspected by Changsun Wuji, and it was very sturdy and solemn!
It is an unparalleled elite!

Besides, this time they have the Black Armored Cavalry following them, so how could they lose?
Could it be that the other side has an army of 100,000? But... where did the army of 100,000 come from? Where did the army of 100,000 come from? !

Yan State has hundreds of thousands of troops, but Baiyun City is only a city, how can it accommodate 100,000 troops! I'm afraid it's a blessing to have more than 100,000 civilians inside!

Qin Qiong didn't believe it either, but he watched it for a long time and it was always the same.

"Assisted, this letter... Hey, read it yourself."

Feeling lost, he handed the letter directly to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji took it quickly and watched it with his eyes wide open, not missing a single detail.

Du Ruhui, who was standing by, also joined in to check.

I watched it for a long time.

Zhang Sun Wuji's old eyes were filled with shock: "It's actually true!"

"That Da Yan, the army led by Li Chengdao himself, is so powerful..."

He could never have imagined that the vanguard of Dayan alone could defeat tens of thousands of tiger divisions of the Tang Dynasty.

Inside, there is the Tianji Camp! !

The other side only used about 10,000 troops, but was evenly matched with the Tang Dynasty and defeated the Tang Dynasty's Tiger Division.

This….
Who on earth is the leader of this Da Yan?
Could it be Li Chengdao himself who was in charge? Or was it the group of monsters in the East Palace back then! Su Dingfang? Pei Xingjian? Or... that terrifying person!

Damn!

Damn it! !
It’s just Baiyun City, how could there be such a powerful army!
Du Ruhui was also shocked.

His face was full of disbelief.

You know, it's not easy to raise an elite army.

They must have the best equipment, the best treatment, and the best everything. It takes almost hundreds of thousands of people to support an elite division.

Even though the Tang Dynasty has put all its resources into this effort, its elite troops do not exceed 100,000.

and….
Da Yan, which has not yet established a firm foothold, was able to mobilize an elite force of 10,000 troops that could rival or even surpass the Tang Dynasty!

This….
How could they afford to support such a large number of elite troops?
Where did it come from? Where did it come from?!

There are so many elite troops here, plus those from Liangzhou and the Western Regions. Adding all these together, Dayan has too many elite troops!
"Could it be that they are actually supported by other major powers behind them?"

Du Ruhui couldn't help but said.

Chang Sun Wuji sighed, "That should be the case. Otherwise, with Baiyun City alone, or even the entire Great Yan combined, there would be no way to raise these."

"I just don't know who is behind Da Yan, or...he cultivated them by seizing the resources of the entire West?"

Du Ruhui's eyes were solemn: "No matter which possibility it is, our Tang Dynasty is in real trouble right now."

"The fact that the pharmacist led his army to the southern expedition has caused a sensation in our Great Tang, and the whole world knows about it."

"Everyone expected them to win, and no one believed they would lose, but they... lost..."

"How should we face the millions of people in the Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Qiong's eyes were filled with dead silence: "It's troublesome, it's really troublesome now!"

"The mess that those noble families created has not been resolved yet, and now we have news of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty. Once all the news gets out, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos again."

"They even think that Your Majesty is not worthy of this position!"

"Damn it! Damn it! How could I lose!!"

Qin Qiong's face was still full of disbelief.
