Chapter 1219: Great Tang's Hope!

Chapter 1219

"General Geshu!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Chong quickened his pace slightly and walked over calmly.

Qixi and Longxi, the two most famous generals of the empire, finally met.

Wang Chong had heard of the name of General Beidou countless times, and he had thought about the situation when he and Ge Shuhan met for the first time, but he never thought that it would be in this situation.

"Master Wang, sit down, I have been waiting for you for a few days!"

Seeing Wang Chong, Ge Shuhan showed a free and easy smile, stretched out a finger, Ge Shuhan pointed to the position beside him, and soon, a Beidou soldier moved a small stool and placed it on the Next to the small square table.

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, without hesitation, he walked over and sat down opposite Ge Shuhan.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Wang Chong was neither humble nor overbearing, and his expression was free and easy. Although it was the first time they met, there was no strangeness or estrangement between the two of them that ordinary people would have. Instead, it gives people a feeling of meeting old friends.

"Master Wang, I already know everything, this time I am here to practice for you!"

Ge Shuhan looked at the young man in front of him, and said straight to the point. He seldom uses respectful titles to ordinary people, not to mention that Wang Chong is much younger than him. There were conflicts and conflicts between the two before, but this time Ge Shuhan is sincere and speaks from the bottom of his heart. This sentence.

The word "Master" is enough to prove Wang Chong's status in Ge Shuhan's heart.

"My lord is serious!"

Wang Chong said calmly.

"Ge Shu seldom toasts, but Mr. Wang, I respect you!"

As he spoke, Ge Shuhan picked up the wine glass on the table, and looked at Wang Chong with admiration.

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, picked up the wine glass on the table, touched Ge Shuhan, and drank it down in one gulp.

"The general's achievements in the west are obvious to all. No matter what the result of this expedition is, the general has demonstrated the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of the people of the world. General Wang, you have done what Ge Shuhan wanted to do all his life. If you haven’t done it yet, I’ll respect you for the second cup.”

Ge Shuhan filled Wang Chong and himself with wine again, raised his glass and said.

If this scene on the official road is spread, it will definitely shock the world.

Two imperial generals of the Great Tang Dynasty, one is a famous military veteran, while the other is a newly rising general in the army. Their meeting alone was enough to shock the world. What's more, as a well-known senior military veteran in the world, Ge Shuhan actually poured wine for Wang Chong himself. This was enough to make many people in the world speculate about Wang Chong and Ge Shu. People who are not in harmony with John are shocked.

Clang!

The two white porcelain wine glasses touched lightly in the air, and Wang Chong and Ge Shuhan drank the wine in the glasses again.

"My lord is absurd!"

After drinking the second glass of wine, Wang Chong put down the glass, and then said:

"Wang Chong never thinks that I have any merits. As a soldier, I just did what I should do, and this is not the credit of Wang Chong alone, but the credit of the entire Tang Dynasty. Speaking of it, Wang Chong also needs to thank If it weren't for the help of the general and other lords, it would be very difficult for Wang Chong to win this battle."

Wang Chong said calmly. His body was straight, and there was no arrogance in his eyes, only endless calmness and calmness.

Ge Shuhan looked into Wang Chong's eyes, looking at those calm eyes like autumn water, finally Ge Shuhan couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"General Wang, Ge Shuhan was wrong. I misunderstood you in the past. It is a blessing for everyone in the Tang Dynasty to have you. I will punish myself for this cup!"

Picking up the wine glass on the table, Ge Shuhan drank it quickly, with a complicated expression on his face.

Regarding Wang Chong, Ge Shuhan's attitude at the beginning was not like this. In the Jiedushi incident, Ge Shuhan even joined forces with other generals to request the Holy Emperor to execute Wang Chong, including Wang Chong's establishment of a fief in Wushang. Ge Shuhan was also full of hostility towards him. But Ge Shuhan had to admit that this time he might be a villain. There is indeed some kind of power in this young man in front of him, which is enough to change the entire world of Tang Dynasty.

——He is by no means the stubborn playboy he imagined.

"It's a pity, Wang Kunpeng, if you were born more than ten years earlier, we might not have the previous misunderstanding. It is even possible for us to work together to conquer Wusi Tibet and change the entire Tang Dynasty."

Ge Shuhan said, deeply moved in his heart. "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the strong fire sees the real gold." Many times, one must go through a lot of tempering to see clearly a person's true quality.

"But we... still lost."

Wang Chong said, as soon as the voice fell, the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Although Wang Chong only said a simple sentence, as long as he knew the people Wang Chong encountered, no one would not understand the meaning. At this moment, even the soldiers of the Beidou Army around were overwhelmed. Countless hard battles, countless lives, and persistence between life and death again and again, but in the end they vanished when they succeeded. As long as it was a soldier who was born and died on the battlefield, there was no one who was not touched by what happened to Wang Chong.

Even Ge Shuhan's eyes were darkened a lot.

"General Wang doesn't need to blame himself. People in the world have their own opinions about right and wrong. No matter what the final result of this battle is, people in the world will understand that the general has done his best."

Ge Shuhan said with a straight face.

Simple words, but they are said with extraordinary weight. With Ge Shuhan's status, this undoubtedly represents the recognition of Wang Chong by the people of the world.

"Thank you, General. It doesn't matter whether Wang Chong wins or loses alone. With General's words, those soldiers who died in Talas would not have died in vain. I thank you sir for them!"

With a silent sigh in Wang Chong's heart, he picked up the jug on the table, filled a glass for himself, saluted Ge Shuhan, and drank it down in one gulp.

"The matter of Khorasan is actually not the matter of the general alone, but the matter of the entire Tang Dynasty and all the soldiers. The general may not know that the current Tang Dynasty is in crisis, not only in Khorasan, but also in Longxi and North China. Places like Tingting and Youzhou may soon follow in the footsteps of Khorasan."

Ge Shuhan sighed.

"Buzz!"

Hearing Ge Shuhan's words, Wang Chong's heart trembled suddenly. Huo Di raised his head and looked opposite:

"General, what does this mean?"

"General Wang, you don't know yet. Since yesterday, the imperial court has sent supervisors to Beidou City. From the commander of a hundred people to the generals in the army, almost every level of the army has supervisors from the imperial court. Anyone Orders, even those ordered by me, need to go through layers of military supervision before they can reach ordinary soldiers. I have already received news that more than 50% of the existing army in Beidou City must be abolished. Even if I argue hard, I must Within two months, more than 30% of the troops will be abolished!"

Ge Shuhan smiled wryly.

"What!"

Hearing these words, Wang Chong finally showed a look of extreme shock in his eyes.

The Beidou Army never wins by numbers, and the soldiers are more expensive than many. On this point, Ge Shuhan is more thorough than anyone else. With so many people in the entire Longxi territory, and such a huge area, Ge Shuhan only gathered more than 20,000 people. Fighting against the entire Uzbek Empire with more than 20,000 horses, and standing still for decades, this was something only Goshuhan could do in the past.

The Beidou Army was not enough in number, if it was cut by another 30%, how to deal with the huge number of Uzang cavalry, wouldn't it be digging its own grave.

"More than that, I have been notified that the imperial court and the U-Tsang Empire have reached an agreement. The two sides have signed a peace agreement, and the six ministries have jointly signed documents. All soldiers in Beidou City are strictly prohibited from attacking U-Tsang without authorization. Even if they are attacked Attack, and then decide to launch a large-scale counterattack, you must also get the approval of the court and the military supervising army!"

Ge Shuhan continued. These words were like a heavy blow, causing waves in Wang Chong's heart. He never thought that he would be involved in this great change as Ge Shuhan.

"General Wang, the world has changed. If it was just about Ge Shuhan alone, this matter would be insignificant, but I'm afraid this is just the beginning. From then on, Datang will enter a troubled time."

Ge Shuhan looked at Wang Chong in front of him, sighing endlessly:

"What happened in Khorasan and Beidou City is by no means an exception. The Eastern and Western Turks, Goguryeo, Nanzhao... I am afraid that the imperial court has already signed a similar agreement with them. Now it is not just you and me, but all the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty. From the imperial court to the frontier, all soldiers are in danger."

"But what I'm most worried about is Datang. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a dynasty or empire that can survive alone without strong force. Datang is abolishing martial arts!"

Wang Chong looked at Ge Shuhan, his expression suddenly became extremely dignified. He never knew that so many things happened in such a short period of time.

"This is an unprecedented storm!"

In one word, Ge Shuhan gave the whole thing a qualitative definition:

"General Wang, whether it's me, Gao Xianzhi, Mr. Wang (Wang Zhongsi) from the capital, or even Fumeng Lingcha who is in prison, the group of generals who jointly created the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty have all entered their forties. , and even many people already know their destiny at fifty. Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, among all the generals, you are the only one who is in the weak year. I don’t know how long this storm will last, or how much it will affect, and I don’t know How many people can support it. I only hope that no matter what happens, you will not be discouraged. ——Because you are the hope of the entire Tang Dynasty!"

After turning the words, Ge Shuhan said it with great solemnity, and even more so with great hope.

This empire is like a pool of stagnant water, which has been calm for many years. If the empire wants glory, if it wants to pass on its glory and culture, and even reach a higher glory, it needs a new flame. Not the kind of ordinary imperial general like himself, but one who can possess powerful force, strong perseverance, and the sharpness of a sword, which can change the flames of the entire Tang Dynasty and even the world.

Once upon a time, Goshuhan thought that such a "flame" was impossible. Because this is not something ordinary people can do. If ordinary people can reach the level of the imperial generals like him and Gao Xianzhi, they are already talented, and it is almost impossible to surpass them.

This kind of thinking has not been shaken for many years... until I met Wang Chong!
