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

Chapter 75: Unbelievable, the Dukes’ shock!
Quickly, hastily,

The dukes put on their clothes and went to Taiji Palace to discuss matters.

along the way.

The dukes from all over the country could not believe it, and dared not believe that Chai Shao and Qingzhou Camp, who were once so powerful, actually died in this battle!

And what is the most terrifying thing?
It is the real army of Dayan, and they have not yet actually landed.

Chai Shao's Qingzhou Camp was only fighting against the vanguard of Dayan, and behind them was Li Jing's army to support them.

Plus the geographical advantage of the Tang Dynasty.

Multiple advantages superimposed,

Even in such a situation, we still lost!
Terrible! Horrible! Unbelievable!

If the vanguard of Da Yan alone has such a strong fighting power, how powerful would Da Yan's main army be? And how invincible!
When I think of this,
subconsciously,

They all remembered what the Roman soldiers once said: Li Chengdao is coming, and he is bringing endless disasters with him!

Yes, it was a real disaster!
Before Li Chengdao arrived, Chai Shao had already died, and the Qingzhou Camp of the elite Tang cavalry was also destroyed.

And when that terrifying boy…
When we truly arrive at the Tang Dynasty, what kind of losses will the Tang Dynasty suffer?
can not imagine!

I dare not even think about it!
All the dukes took a deep breath and quickly quickened their pace towards the Taiji Palace.

….….….….….….
Tai Chi Palace.

When Changsun Wuji arrived here, many people had already gathered here.

Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Shunde….
Each of them is a giant who is powerful enough to make a big impact in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, they were the only ones gathered here.

To private people,
The news about Dayan and Li Chengdao is still kept secret.

But looking at Dayan’s current situation, how long can it keep the secret?
No one could explain it clearly, and everyone had doubts in their hearts.

Can you still... keep it secret?

There is already a duke who is inclined to tell his subordinates what is said.

For example, this time,
If the three reinforcements from Jiangdong knew that their enemy was an elite division, they would not be ignorant of the enemy's intelligence and thus be quickly defeated.

Of course, there are drawbacks to revealing it.

Once the existence of Dayan and Li Chengdao is known to the world, it will become questionable whether Li Shimin can still sit firmly on the throne.

As long as Li Chengdao's existence is made public, those pedantic scholars who attach great importance to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame will definitely stand on Li Chengdao's side.

They don't know what Li Chengdao has done, nor do they want to know. They only know that Li Chengdao is the legitimate and orthodox leader of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's position should not belong to Li Shimin, but to the orthodox Li Chengdao, simply because that was how the ancestors arranged it.

It’s time to follow the rules!

It was precisely because of the presence of this group of scholars that the various dukes were reluctant to disclose the news about Li Chengdao and kept the news hidden so strictly.

The price that has been announced is too high.

It was even more serious than the defeat of the three reinforcements from Jiangdong!
"Okay, the auxiliary machine has arrived."

"Then everyone present has gathered."

Qin Qiong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I believe you all know why we are here. Yes, Chai Shao...died on the battlefield."

"Afterwards, the pharmacist cleaned up the battlefield and found more than 2,600 bodies from the Qingzhou camp and nearly 3,000 bodies from the Jiangdong city defense forces."

Obviously, the total number of soldiers in the three reinforcements from Jiangdong is twice that of the Qingzhou Camp, but the number of deaths is almost less than that of the Qingzhou Camp.

This is because the soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp did not chase them when they suffered a great defeat, so the casualties were not as great as imagined.

This terrifying number of casualties made all the dukes present gasp. How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Since the Tang Dynasty attracted all nations to pay tribute, there has never been such a huge loss.

If we trace back to the last time there was such a loss, it was a few years ago.

This was already a huge loss for the Tang Dynasty at that time!

Because they pursue perfect victory!
Whether fighting against the Turks or other countries, the Tang Dynasty considered a war loss of one to ten to be a disgrace.

They should achieve victory, a perfect victory, which is in the best interests of the Tang Dynasty!

But now….
In the first war between the Tang Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty, the casualties were almost 1 to 0, which was a rare case in which the Tang Dynasty suffered higher casualties than the enemy.

This was a shame back then, a huge shame!

But today, everyone is feeling heavy-hearted.

The enemies they faced were no longer the simple enemies of the past, but another contemporary hero of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Chengdao!
The casualties were already so horrific before Li Chengdao even landed.

They can't imagine,

When that terrifying young man lands in the Tang Dynasty, to what extent will the war damage of the Tang Empire increase?
perhaps,

Since then, the one-to-one battle losses have been extremely visible!

This is a tough battle that is visibly happening!

The dukes were all in deep thought, serious thought.

Qin Qiong looked at them, took a deep breath, and continued: "This battle is a rout for our army, a great rout!"

"This battle was fought with the participation of the pharmacist, but we still suffered a great defeat. I can't imagine how much our losses would have been if the pharmacist hadn't participated."

"Everyone, Dayan... and that child..."

Saying,

Qin Qiong paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.

When all the dukes looked at him, he continued word by word: "This is the most powerful enemy I have ever encountered in my career! Even Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong back then were not as scary as Li Chengdao!"

Qin Qiong has experienced hundreds of battles in his life.

Some even say that he spent his entire life on a war horse.

He had experienced countless wars, and in his decades-long career, Qin Qiong had experienced countless life and death situations, but he had never been as worried as he was now.

Li Chengdao, Li Chengdao, ah Li Chengdao….
He is really too strong!
His identity is too sensitive!

"What to do now?"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.

He and Zhangsun Wuji and others were all in charge of internal affairs, but in terms of military affairs, they still had to listen to famous Tang generals such as King Qin and Qin Qiong.

Now that His Majesty has not returned yet and Li Jing is far away in Jiangdong, the current decision still has to be made by Qin Qiong.

"I have sent a letter to His Majesty, and His Majesty has replied."

Qin Qiong said, his expression becoming more solemn: "He asked me... and you, from now on, to lobby all nations to send troops to help the Tang Dynasty!"

boom!
With this remark,
Everyone present suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief.

what?
What! ! !
What did they hear?
Our own Majesty, the once-arrogant King Qin, had already sought reinforcements from various countries before even starting the battle with the main army of Dayan.

King of Qin...King of Qin!

he!
He he he!
He wanted to gather all the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, almost ten thousand countries, including the entire military force of the Tang Dynasty, to fight against Li Chengdao!
