Peerless Taoist

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately garnered the support of many of the officials present.    

In the Imperial Capital, as long as it was a family, they would set up a large number of spies outside.    

Furthermore, since early in the morning, the news of the great victory on top of the front line had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Even if they stayed deep in the temple, they would still be able to hear it clearly.    

Great Yu had experienced too many failures.    

And this victory was no different from a long drought meeting a sweet rain.    

Many soldiers who were guarding the imperial capital shed tears of excitement in private.    

The Tang army's invasion was like a sharp sword hanging above everyone's heads.    

Now that they had obtained a great victory and defeated the Tang Army, many people felt that the stone that had been stuck in their hearts had been removed, and they felt much more relaxed.    

There were many hawks in Great Yu's army.    

The main reason was that the battlefield was the place where generals achieved meritorious deeds.    

The Tang army wreaked havoc in Wuji and attacked the imperial capital. Many soldiers of Great Yu were burning with anger, waiting for a suitable time to explode.    

"This subject will lead the battle!"    

"This official will also lead the battle!"    

A group of generals stood out and walked behind the military officer.    

At this moment, Xu Tiangang, who was standing at the front of the military officers, suddenly said, "Marquis Zhongyong, the current situation is still unclear. Who knows if the Tang army will play tricks? The outcome was still uncertain. Furthermore, all the Imperial Army and the four battalions are here to guard the Imperial Capital. None of these troops can be moved."    

"The Imperial Army is more than enough to guard the Imperial Capital. Sending the four battalions out will increase the results of the battle." The Marquis of Zhongyong retorted.    

The Marquis of Zhongyong was a marquis and also had a military position. However, he stood behind Xu Tiangang in the royal court.    

After Xu Tiangang sent the Royal Forest Military back to the imperial capital, he was immediately promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Martial Meritocrats Hall by Zhao Yuanyan and was in charge of the defense of the entire imperial capital.    

It could be said that even the nobles of the rank of Duke had to listen to Xu Tiangang's orders.    

This was truly below one person and above ten thousand people.    

Xu Tiangang said, "The four battalions have suffered heavy losses and are not suitable to go out and fight. The Imperial Army can only fight against the Imperial Palace Guards. The Imperial Capital's defenses are rather empty. Where did the extra forces come from? I have already sent people to the frontlines to recall the Longwu Army! "    

What!?    

Be it the civil servants or military officials, all of them had shocked expressions on their faces.    

Withdrawing troops before the war, especially at the crucial moment, was a taboo for soldiers!    

The Zhongyong Marquis said anxiously, "Lord Xu, even if we don't assist, we can't withdraw the Longwu Army."    

At the crucial moment, if the Longwu Army retreated, the Tang Army might find a chance to switch from defense to offense.    

At that time, the victory that they had won would be gone.    

Xu Tiangang waved his hand: "Everything will be based on the safety of the Emperor Capital. The Emperor is still in the Emperor Capital, how can he not have enough strength to protect himself!"    

When he threw out the topic of the Emperor, all the pro-war factions immediately gave up.    

However, many generals felt stifled in their hearts. Xu Tiangang's words were simply nonsense.    

Initially, when the Tang army attacked, the four battalions did indeed suffer heavy losses. However, after a long period of rest and reorganization, the four battalions were already fully equipped and had the ability to take the initiative to attack.    

The Imperial Army was even more so. Although the Divine Martial Army and the Divine Strategy Army had suffered countless casualties, they had now expanded and had even more powerful forces than before.    

"Lord Xu, we don't provide the support of soldiers, but the support of resources should be okay, right?" Another person stepped forward.
