Chapter 3477
Shortly after.
Datang launched a fierce counterattack against Nanliang, knocking Nanliang out of the territory of Datang in one fell swoop.
Facing the overwhelming offensive of the Tang Dynasty, Nanliang had no choice but to retreat.
This ended a war of aggression against the Tang Dynasty.
A single move affected the whole body. Due to the withdrawal of Nanliang troops, Da Chu and Da Zhou also fell into a passive position.
At the same time, in the Golden Palace of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Yu was sitting on the dragon chair, with Xu Shize, Li Jing and others below.
Meng Tian was the first to stand up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the battle on the front line is a great victory. All the troops in Nanliang have withdrawn. Now only Da Chu and Da Zhou are left struggling to support them. They will probably withdraw soon. "
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the whole place.
All the civil and military officials looked at Tang Yu with awe in their eyes.
Remember URL
When the Tang Emperor passed the throne to Tang Yu, many people thought that Tang Yu was still young and not qualified to be the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Tang Yu proved it to everyone with his actual actions.
Tang Yu not only put down the internal rebellion, but also repelled Nanliang and other foreign enemies in one fell swoop.
Now, Tang Yu deservedly became the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and made all civil and military officials surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
Xu Shize took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, in addition to the withdrawal of the Nanliang troops, Northern Qi and Daxia have also stepped up their offensive. Now both Northern Qi and Daxia are willing to become allies of the Tang Dynasty and have sent troops to reinforce them."
"Because of this, Da Chu and Da Zhou are also preparing to retreat. Should we join forces with Northern Qi and Da Xia to defeat Da Chu and Da Zhou in one fell swoop?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Tang Yu again, their eyes full of expectation.
Compared to Nanliang, what really gave them a headache was Da Chu.
After all, Da Chu is the overlord of the world. If they can capture Da Chu in one fell swoop, then Datang will no longer be at the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms, but will more likely become the new overlord of the world.
"I think the Prime Minister is right. Over the years, Da Chu has been ambitious and has always wanted to annex the Tang Dynasty. This time, it has united Nanliang and Da Zhou to deal with the Tang Dynasty. We should take the initiative to attack, even if we cannot destroy Da Chu. , and let them know that I, Datang, am not someone to be trifled with!"
"Well said! Da Chu's little thoughts can't be hidden from us at all. Da Chu has been planning to annex us from the very beginning. Thanks to your majesty, Da Chu's conspiracy did not succeed this time. Da Chu bullied us like this After a long time, it’s time to fight back, and I also think we should take the initiative!”
"In addition to Da Chu, Da Zhou and Nan Liang cannot let them go. They took advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to launch an attack. Sooner or later, this debt will be settled!"
All the civil and military officials discussed it one after another, and they all believed that Da Chu should be attacked proactively.
However, Tang Yu looked at Xu Shize with a half-smile.
While he was looking at Xu Shize, Xu Shize was also looking at him.
Their eyes met, Xu Shize instantly guessed what Tang Yu was going to say, and said directly: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is appropriate to start a war with Da Chu at the moment."
As soon as the words fell, the whole place suddenly became silent, and there was no sound.
Everyone looked at Xu Shize in disbelief. It was clearly him who proposed it before, but why now he changed his mind and said that it was not suitable to initiate a war?
Even Meng Tian looked confused and asked with great confusion: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"
"Isn't now the best time for us to take action against Dachu?"
In Meng Tian's eyes, this was simply the best time to destroy Chu, with the addition of Li Jing's army, plus Italian cannons and other weapons.
At this moment, the Tang Dynasty was not weaker than the Chu State in terms of military strength or combat power.
Meng Tian is also confident that he can win Dachu in one fell swoop.
Xu Shize glanced at Meng Tian and said calmly: "All the people of Da Chu are soldiers. If we start a war with Da Chu at this time, it will turn into a protracted war. Moreover, we have just conquered eighteen cities, and the people's hearts are not yet stable. We dare to fight with Da Chu." If Chu starts a war, it will do more harm than good."
Xu Shize's perspective on the problem is far beyond that of others.
