Chapter 567 Sun Wufeng
On the second day, Lin Xiaofan slept until noon and then lazily got up. He first had dinner with the soldiers, and then rushed to the city wall to take over Xiao Tiansheng's work.
Although the battle last night didn't last long, it was extremely brutal.
Among the city guards, only 1,200 were left out of 3,000, and half of those alive were wounded. Fortunately, Datang has sufficient reserves of hemostatic drugs, and no wounded have died until now.
The Sirius elite left more than 3,000 corpses behind. Their attack was too fierce, which resulted in a large number of casualties on both sides.
"Brother Lin, I have good news for you, Tie Yan is still alive."
Xiao Tiansheng said.
Yesterday's arrow may have missed the mark, but it did not kill Tie Yan.
After a night of rescue by several doctors, Tie Yan was successfully revived and is now in prison.
The value of a living person is far greater than that of a dead person.
Next is the discussion of merit.
Fengsheng killed the most enemies in this battle, killing more than 40 enemies by himself. Duanmu Liangchuan killed more than 20 enemies. Among the many city guards, only one soldier could kill five enemies. Only a few people can kill three enemies, and most can only kill one enemy.
The main reason is that the elite of the Sirius Kingdom are far beyond the city guards in terms of combat experience and physical fitness. It is difficult to kill one enemy, let alone five or ten.
Xiao Tiansheng also sent someone on a fast horse to Chang'an to report the results of the battle.
"Brother Lin, thanks to you this time."
The excitement of winning the battle gradually faded away, Xiao Tiansheng's nerves gradually became exhausted, and he spoke with some luck.
If Lin Xiaofan hadn't been here, this battle would have been unsolvable.
"Brother Xiao, there is no need to say thank you. Of course, if you really want to thank me, I would like to have some kind words from the court."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
"Don't worry, when it comes to the court, my friends and I will definitely support you. I'm not familiar with them as civil servants, but as for the generals, I can still help you get most of the people."
Xiao Tiansheng patted his chest and promised. He has a bold personality and is informal, and he is also the youngest tiger minister. His future is unlimited, and military generals are willing to make friends with him.
As for the civil servants, the water inside was too deep for him to get involved. Moreover, the civil servants and their generals were at odds with each other.
"Speaking of which, in the Tang Dynasty, who has the greater say?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"The person with the highest say in the court must be General Sun Wufeng among our generals."
Xiao Tiansheng said without hesitation.
Sun Wufeng...
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. He had heard of this name a long time ago. It ranked first on the list of divine generals and had been ranked first for decades. His record is nothing short of legendary.
He defeated the Xiongnu several times, fought against other countries, and forcibly expanded the Tang Dynasty's territory by one-third. And after hundreds of battles, there was no defeat.
To be honest, Lin Xiaofan was a little skeptical. He also came from time travel and had his own system.
"General Sun Wufeng is more than a hundred years old. He has experienced five generations of kings and served as a minister of Tuogu three times in succession. I won't go into details about his achievements. You should know it after thinking about it. It can be said that if the ministers come to remonstrate, the emperor may not say a word. I can’t listen. But as long as General Sun asks, the emperor will definitely do it.”
"General Qi Sun has never formed a party or taken bribes. Now that he is old, he rarely asks about court affairs. He will only attend court meetings when it is very important, but most of the time he can also speak and just talk quietly. listen."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan was even more surprised. An old man over a hundred years old has such a big right to speak even though he has no power. This Sun Wufeng is really not an ordinary person.
"The next thing is those civil servants. In my opinion, none of those civil servants are good."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tiansheng's face turned gloomy and he spat to the side.
"No business is done at all, and there is intrigue every day. If it weren't for them, the territory of the Tang Dynasty would have expanded even more."
"Brother Xiao, how do you say this?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan's eyes contained a hint of curiosity.
"Tianwu Kingdom and Datang Kingdom are close to each other. There are two fertile lands in the middle. One contains a lot of iron, and the other has high grain production. Our country, Datang, is powerful. Is it okay to occupy 70% of it?"
Xiao Tiansheng spoke, and Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. Just looking at the ranking of the generals on the list of divine generals, the Tang Dynasty was indeed far better than the Tianwu Kingdom.
"So, the treaty has been signed, with the Tang Dynasty occupying 70% and the Tianwu Kingdom occupying 30%. However, the Tianwu Kingdom is not restless. When the Tang Dynasty changes kings, or when the Tang Dynasty becomes weak, they will amend the treaty. . For this reason, the two countries have to fight almost every few years.”
Xiao Tiansheng looked angry.
Lin Xiaofan understood this. Food and iron are both crucial to the development of the country. If he were the king, he would definitely fight for it.
"But those group of civil servants are like a bunch of rats. When the Tang Dynasty was weak, they were bullied. When the country was stronger than the Sirius Kingdom, we wanted to fight back. Is that okay? But this time they all resorted to recuperation, insufficient treasury, etc. There are various reasons to refuse. Otherwise, we would have reached the capital of Tianwu Kingdom."
As he spoke, Xiao Tiansheng hammered the pillar on the side.
"Forget it, General Sun didn't say a word and just allowed those civil servants to bewitch the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and miss the opportunity to fight."
Lin Xiaofan thought carefully. Civil officials were reluctant to send military generals on expeditions, partly because they were afraid of depleting the country's power, and secondly because they were afraid that military generals would make too many military exploits and gain power, which would be detrimental to them.
From this we can see that the civil officials and military officers of the Tang Dynasty were not on good terms. In fact, the civil officials and military officers of almost all major countries did not get along well. After all, if they got along well, the monarch would not be able to sleep well.
As for Sun Wufeng, according to Xiao Tiansheng's description, although he was a military general, he was unwilling to help either civilian officials or military generals, but deliberately maintained a balance between the two.
Secondly, although Datang said that its national power was stronger than Tianwu, it would never dare to fight too fiercely with Tianwu. When the national power is depleted, Daqi and Tianlang will never rest in peace.
It can be seen from this that Sun Wufeng is devoted to the Tang royal family.
"Then the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will listen to them?"
Lin Xiaofan continued to talk.
"When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty first took office, he was inclined to send troops to the Tianwu Kingdom. However, those civil servants died one after another to protest, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty killed several of them but could not scare them."
"Because of that matter, we had a lot of quarrels with the group of civil servants. Later, General Sun suddenly went to court and helped the civil servants speak. After court, he went to the Imperial Study Room to talk with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. From then on, the Tang Dynasty The emperor never raised the issue of war again."
Xiao Tiansheng's face was full of anger. He could never understand why Sun Wufeng was so willing to miss such a good opportunity and still spoke for those civil servants.
"Maybe General Sun also has his own plans."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth. Sun Wufeng seemed to be a sensible person. It's just that each of these civil servants is a little too self-interested, and I don't know if this trip will go smoothly.
