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

Chapter 20 The black dragon represents disaster, and the golden phoenix represents checks and balances!
"this…."

The commander of the Yaoguang Camp frowned slightly: "General, this is not the West. Besides, our army has just arrived in the Tang Dynasty and is unfamiliar with the surroundings. If we let the tiger go back to the mountains, wouldn't it be... too ostentatious?"

As one of the ten commanders of the Yaoguang Camp, he knew his own general well. He was so arrogant in his bones that he almost looked down on everyone.

Because of this,

In the West, whether it was fighting against Rome or the armies of other small Western countries, generals would sometimes send letters to the enemy before a raid.

Tell them when to attack and what the Yaoguang Camp’s goal is, and ask them to surrender.

Beat the grass and startle the snake.

But it is also the true and false in the general's tactics.

Because sometimes, it is false that our own general tells the enemy when to attack and what the target is.

When the enemy troops were on high alert and had passed the agreed time, and found that there was no one around and began to relax, their Yaoguang Camp... rushed out and attacked!
Of course it is true more often than not.

That depends on the enemy's army. If they are massive, then it is fake. If the Yaoguang Battalion can crush them, then it is real.

And now, Datang...
Tang Dynasty, oh Tang Dynasty, this is the empire that Your Highness has been afraid of for ten years. He is afraid that if his general lets the tiger go back to the mountain, it will ruin Your Highness's plan.

"You weren't here ten years ago, you don't understand."

Pei Xingjian looked at him with a smile, and then his eyes became solemn and serious: "But I understand."

"Whether it's Yuchi Jingde or Li Jing and others, I know them all!"

"They are cautious in deploying their troops, too cautious. This is a good thing, but it is also their weakness!"

"When they learned that the remnant generals of the Eastern Palace who were driven out by them that year... I, Pei Xingjian, had returned, and had taken down the Wangshiwan sentry post, and had even brought back three people in a swagger, they would wonder why such a big fuss was made, given their cautious nature. Could it be that hundreds of thousands of troops were coming? It was hundreds of thousands of troops that gave me, a former loser, the courage to do so?"

"They will send a large army, but it takes a lot of time to gather a large army. It's thousands of miles from Chang'an to Jiangdong, and the food needed on the way is innumerable. In addition, the army will only complain after rushing all the way here."

"So... when His Highness and his men arrive, our army will no longer be facing the battle-hardened soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! Instead, they will be facing Tang soldiers with grievances!"

Pei Xingjian spoke slowly.

The look in his eyes was rare to the Yaoguang Camp commander, and he looked serious.

He immediately took a deep breath and said, "I understand, General. I have wronged you. Wait a minute... I will let the three of them go back. What do you think?"

Pei Xingjian nodded: "Okay, after letting them go, our army's three thousand Yaoguang soldiers will be divided into ten teams under the leadership of the commander."

"Two of the teams will be stationed here, and the remaining eight teams will go to various places in Jiangdong to gather intelligence."

Gathering intelligence is also one of the responsibilities of their Yaoguang Camp.

Because their raids often take them deep into enemy territory, and by going deep into enemy territory, they can understand some of the enemy's plans and deployments.

During the ten years of conquest in the West, when the war broke out, a lot of intelligence about the enemy army was transmitted back to the imperial headquarters by the Yaoguang Camp.

This time, Li Chengdao led a million-strong army to attack the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he and his army had not arrived yet. The reason why Pei Xingjian arrived was because he and his Yaoguang Camp had set out by ferry to the Tang Dynasty two months before Constantinople was broken.

He arrived in the Tang Dynasty two months in advance.

In a war, no matter it is a local war or a large-scale war, the trump cards are never played first at the beginning. Instead, the two sides test each other, learn the intelligence of the other side, find out the weakness of the other side, and finally the army unites to break through the weakness, use the weakness to expand the results of the battle and win.

This is just like both parties have a deck of cards, and it is impossible for both to play a royal flush at the beginning.

Li Chengdao also made the same deployment.

Ten years, a full ten years have passed.

Even though he was once the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty emperor, these ten years have changed a lot of things, and now he knows nothing about the Tang Dynasty.

In this case,

If the million-strong army of Great Yan arrived without any intelligence from Great Tang, it would be very disadvantageous for the army to fight.

Intelligence is always the most important thing in war.

Especially in a war involving millions of troops, a small mistake in intelligence could be enough to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in vain.

Li Chengdao has been constantly launching wars and conquering for the past ten years, and he knows the importance of intelligence very well.

He first asked Pei Xingjian to bring the Yaoguang Camp to the Tang Dynasty in advance. The Yaoguang Camp would be the bridgehead of the Great Yan Empire. Before the arrival of the million-strong army, it would investigate the Tang Dynasty and bring any information about the Tang Dynasty to the army.

Now Pei Xingjian's troops are leaving in eight teams. These eight teams will go to various counties in Jiangdong to investigate Jiangdong.

Once we find out the information about this place, we will send it back to Li Chengdao who is still crossing the sea.

"General, I understand."

The commander of Yaoguang Camp received the order.

Pei Xingjian nodded, and then looked at the black flag of the Great Yan Empire that had been raised at the sentry post. His originally calm eyes gradually became fanatical: "Our flag has been raised."

"There are traces of us in the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's begun...hahahaha, it's begun! It's really begun! This! The real war!"

"Yuchi Jingde, wait for me! I'm Pei Xingjian..."

Pei Xingjian said, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, and then his eyes became extremely sharp and full of hatred: "I'm back, I came back to find you."

……

The order was given.

The soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp were divided into ten teams, eight of which were dispersed throughout Jiangdong to gather intelligence.

In addition, three Tang soldiers were captured and released. As for where they went to report the news, Yaoguang Camp would not care.

it has started.

The Great Yan Empire led by Li Chengdao began to use military force against the Tang Empire.

In the dark.

A dark space.

Thunder and lightning.

In the windy and rainy weather, an arena appeared high in the sky.

There was no one and nothing inside.

But there is a huge round table with a map of the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty engraved on it.

next moment.

Just hear a roar.

Two dark figures appeared sitting on either side of the huge round table.

One of them,
Its eyes were filled with bloodthirsty red light, and there was a black dragon with the same bloodthirsty red eyes hovering around it.

The Lord of Shadows...
Ten years of war in the West resulted in countless separations, broken families, tens of millions of deaths, and the destruction of dozens of countries.
There are too many honors to count.

But what is certain is that
Over the past ten years, tens of millions of Westerners have died because of him. In the eyes of Westerners, he represents the devil and war, and wherever he goes, there is disaster. He is the King of War, the King of Chu.

Opposite him, there was also a dark shadow sitting.

Its eyes are golden, and hovering around it is a proud phoenix that also has golden eyes.

This Lord of Shadows...
He served in the army for more than 20 years, conquered half of the Tang Dynasty, destroyed the Turks, and pacified the surrounding countries. With only more than 3,000 people, he defeated an army of 100,000. The surrounding countries respectfully called him "Heavenly Khan"...
He also has countless honors.

Under his leadership, the Tang Empire became the first empire in the East, and all the surrounding countries became its vassal states. If there was a war in the Tang Dynasty, the armies of the vassal states could be mobilized to fight. In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, he was the god of war and the king of checks and balances who had never been defeated in his life, the King of Qin.
