Chapter 263: The Heroic Emperor’s Determination [Lifting the Ban]
Haotian was about to open his mouth, but at that moment, he suddenly remembered the secret letter that Luo Xiang secretly sent to him through Chu Si the other day in the most primitive but most reliable and confidential way. Luo Xiang emphasized one thing in the letter
One thing is that the troops and military deployment deployed in Hetao must not be known to the imperial court. After all, both within Hetao and the imperial court, there are traitors from unknown parties. And these traitors are obviously old and cunning people, so although
Hetao and the imperial court have spent great efforts to capture him, but to no avail. At this time, Haotian remembered what Li Xiaomo and Xian Lianchen said at that time. Tie Zhen's only grandson, the former member of the Qinglong Legion
The legion commander Tie Meng and the two paternal sons of Grand Master Sima Danggui died in mysterious circumstances. Thinking of this, Haotian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his vest.
After considering his tone, Haotian said: "The decisive battle between the Empire and the Bliss Alliance will definitely affect the whole body. Under such circumstances, the foreign races around me, Qingfeng, will definitely not miss this opportunity. But just
In the area bordering the Hetao Third Road and the Bloody Plateau, there are the Mandan Dynasty, the three major nomadic peoples in the northwest, the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Sashan Dynasty and the Umaluo Kingdom. Although our Hetao has an army of more than 50
Ten thousand, but the most elite army of 200,000 has gone south, and the rest are second-rate troops. It is already stretched to defend the thousands-mile defense line of Hetao, so it is too difficult to mobilize troops from Hetao to go south again. But everyone
Please rest assured that my army of more than 100,000 soldiers on Yuzhou Road will definitely go all out, return victoriously as soldiers of the country, and die in battle to mourn the country. Even if the entire army is annihilated, my more than 100,000 soldiers will not hesitate."
Liu Nanshu, the commander-in-chief of Caifeng, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "In addition to the more than 200,000 troops that have gone south, Jingbei Gong also has nearly 400,000 troops on the Third Road of Hetao. Can't the 400,000 troops still be able to defend the Third Road of Hetao?"
Haotian was shocked, but thinking that he was the commander of Caifeng after all, it was not strange for him to know the deployment of his troops in Hetao, so he immediately explained: "The commander-in-chief does not know, the total number of troops left behind in Hetao is
Three hundred and fifty thousand, more than half of which are new soldiers recruited in the past six months, this must be very clear to the commander-in-chief. Just some time ago, our Hetao army went north from Yumen Pass to attack Uma and Mandan. Although there were considerable gains, but
Its own losses were close to 100,000. And the 100,000 troops lost were all replenished by new soldiers. The three lines of defense in Hetao are thousands of miles long. Beiyuan Road Yaozhou, east of Kezhou, Hetao, has Bai Jinghe.
Jimur's 50,000 elite army, located in Jinzhou on the Taihang Road east of Hukou Ferry, were 100,000 soldiers led by the famous Mandan star Yelu Chixian himself. Wuzhou, east of Shazhou on the Hexi Road, was the Mandan Leng Army.
Bu Fang's 50,000 elites, and to the north, there are the Uma dynasty and the three major nomadic tribes in the northwest. To the west, there is the Sashan dynasty, which has been eyeing me Qingfeng, and the ungrateful Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, plus the south of the Bloody Plateau.
The Luoxe dynasty, with an army of 350,000, could barely hold on to such a long defense line. However, we still have 100,000 elite soldiers on the South Yunnan Road in Hetao, and the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 soldiers is no less than that on the Yuzhou Road.
If Duke Jingnan can ensure the integrity of the Dahu Road defense line, then these 100,000 soldiers can be transferred to Yuzhou Road."
Liu Nanshu smiled bitterly. The environment at Ouyang Jingzhong's place was much more dangerous than that on Yuzhou Road. To the south of Dahu Road was the 700,000-strong army of Jinhua Mitsukoshi, to the east was the 200,000-strong army of the Bliss Holy Sect, and to the west was the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
There are at least 300,000 troops from the five southern Yunnan tribes with ulterior motives. Frankly speaking, it is a miracle that Ouyang Jingzhong can sustain in such an environment for so long. But if there is no 100,000 troops in the Hetao in the west,
Having withstood most of the pressure from the five tribes in southern Yunnan and Jinhua, even if Ouyang Jingzhong had three heads and six arms, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the attacks from all directions.
Tie Zhen and others obviously understood that what Haotian said was the truth, but the expressions of the Auxiliary King, Liu Chaoting and Han Cheng were always uncertain. The Liu royal family and most of the civil servants in the court all agreed with the proposal proposed by the Auxiliary King.
It is a strategic defense plan, but the three pillars and the imperial military obviously do not have such an idea. If it were above the court and combined with these forces, the auxiliary king could still compete with the heroic emperor. But today the heroic emperor
On the pretext that there were spies from surrounding foreign races in Qingfeng, only military generals, local vassal towns and the three pillars were allowed to attend this nondescript meeting. Both Liu Chaoting and Han Li were still the favor given to him by the heroic emperor. Only today.
Under the circumstances, An Yongchang, his staunchest and most important supporter, obviously did not agree with his plan, and the four imperial uncles who had always remained neutral all came to the side of the Yinglie Emperor. With just the three of them,
He couldn't argue with the other party at all. Only then did the Auxiliary King realize that he had fallen into the heroic emperor's plan from the beginning. But at this time it was too late to say anything, so he had to sit aside with a gloomy face and said nothing.
However, An Yongchang's next words made the auxiliary king unable to sit still, and except for Pang Ye and the other three people in the hall, all the people in the hall had the same expressions as the auxiliary king, staring at the Emperor of Heroes with their mouths open.
"In order to demonstrate His Majesty's belief in fighting to the death and to enhance the confidence of his soldiers, the Emperor has decided that after the beginning of spring, he will personally command the army and lead the expedition!"
"No!" Liu Nance took the lead and said: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you step into danger? Unless there are some accidents, then I, Qingfeng, will be defeated without a fight."
Liu Nanyan also opened his mouth and said: "If the empire really reaches the point where your Majesty needs your Majesty to lead a personal expedition, what should we ministers do?"
Liu Nanshang, Liu Nanshu, He Huairen, Xiang Xing and others all tried to persuade them, but Li Tieming, Zhang Cangxiong and Haotian remained silent. Looking at the expressions of Emperor Yinglie, Pang Ye and others, one knew that they had already discussed this matter.
, although to them, it doesn't matter whether the Emperor of Heroes personally leads the expedition, but it does have a great impact on the soldiers below. It's just that the greater the benefits, the greater the risks. Who knows if there will be any accidents.
On the contrary, the face of the auxiliary king suddenly changed. If the heroic emperor personally conquered and won, his prestige would naturally increase unprecedentedly. Then he would naturally have no chance to ascend the throne in the future. If he failed, this would
This is the last strength that Qingfeng can piece together. Even if the heroic emperor is killed in the chaos, and he can take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne, this emperor has nothing to do. At most, he is just a king who has subjugated his country. So,
How can I get more benefits from it? After all, although my imperial brother already has four princes, the oldest prince is only eight years old now, and I still have a lot of experience in the civil service system and the Liu family.
of connections.
"The king died in the country. As the king of a country, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the empire to reach this point. Moreover, this is the last fight for my Qingfeng's life and death. Naturally, I cannot hide in the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
Seeing the soldiers bleeding on the front line, Tie Aiqing can rest assured that I am only visiting the front line in person and will never interfere with your command of the army." The heroic emperor said in a deep voice: "I have decided that on the first day of spring, I will personally command the army.
Conquer the Elysium Alliance and let them know who is the real master of this land!"
Although Emperor Yinglie ordered that no one should reveal what happened today, when Haotian and others returned to their respective mansions, the news was immediately spread back to their own territory. Of course, the news sent back was all through top-secret channels and only very few
Few people know. A total of three copies of the information in Haotian's hands were copied. One copy was sent to Xue Sha and Dugu on Diannan Road, one copy was sent to Shanyin Luoxiang Xuanji Office, and the other copy was sent back to Chu Xiangcheng and Hetao Hetao.
God's will. In the following time, in order to hide from others, Haotian still stayed in the Holy Capital of Tiandu, but for safety reasons, he still did not step out of Jingbei Duke's Mansion. And Luo Xiang received him
After the news, in view of Haotian's security issues, a group of elites were specially dispatched to the Jingbei Palace in Tiandu to take charge of defense.
Although everything is fine here in Haotian, it is already so busy in his hometown in Hetao that there is almost no chaos. Fortunately, Chu Xiangcheng, Bian Zhongxing and Feng Jingxin are still in Yanzhou at this time. God's will, who is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the third route in Hetao, has asked a few people
They also tried to be satisfied as much as possible, so although they were panicked, Loop Laowo quickly came up with a corresponding plan. However, a few people had not yet made a final decision on some specific details.
When Xingke and Wuxiaolangjun's cavalry returned to Hetao, Fengjing and others consulted God's will, and finally expanded the remaining troops in Hetao to 400,000. In addition to the 200,000 elite troops who had gone south in Hetao, the general of the Hetao headquarters
The strength of the troops has increased to 600,000. Among the 400,000 troops left behind, 130,000 are cavalry and 270,000 infantry. In addition to the 30,000 cavalry who have been designated to stay at Jiayuguan and other places, Feng Jing and Xin Ke are paying close attention to
They practiced day and night, especially after Haotian sent back the news that the court was preparing to take the initiative, Feng Jing and Feng Jing became even more strict on the training of the cavalry. Referring to previous experience, Xin Ke even ordered the cavalry to ride on horseback at least every day.
Stayed there for a full sixteen hours.
Even Zhongxing did not rest at this time. From the more than 100,000 infantrymen brought back from outside the Great Wall by Feng Jing, he selected 100,000 elites, all of whom were concentrated near Yanzhou for training. From time to time, he also trained with Feng Jing and the other two.
The cavalry conducts tactical exercises. The contents of the tactical exercises are mostly about how the infantry and cavalry can better cooperate in combat, the cavalry's frontal breakthrough ability and the infantry's defense, interception, and alternate cover. Originally, the Hetao headquarters army was preparing to arrive at the Yuzhou Road battlefield before March.
, but after Luo Xiang learned about the trends in the court, he thought for a long time and finally decided to postpone the time temporarily.
