"After the Lingnan War, Li Xiaomo resigned from the army and was appointed as the prefect of Baiyue Road, temporarily taking charge of the military and political affairs of Lingnan Road. Li Tiezhan was appointed as the commander of the legion, and the station was Baiyue Lingnan. The Dingnan Army continued to be stationed at Dahu Road.
, Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Legion on the Jiangnan Route is under temporary military control. When the time is right, the eunuchs will be dispatched to carry out local governance. The Yellow Turban Legion is still stationed in Huai River, and the Snow Wolf Legion returns to the defense." Haotian slowly announced his deployment,
Although this was already considered last year, the fighting in the Lingnan area was still intermittent at that time. Now that the remaining bandits have been basically wiped out, it is natural to rearrange the defense areas of each legion.
Originally, Xuanji planned to let Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng lead their own regiments to expedition outside the Great Wall, but they were unanimously opposed by the Hetao military. There were two objections. One was led by Tong Xiu, Meng Xiaoting and others, who believed that the Hetao army
The expedition beyond the Great Wall has a lot of personal vendettas, and it should be Hetao's own business.
Xuanji was depressed when he heard this reason. But looking at the lowered eyes of Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng, as well as Chen Han, Meng Xiaoting and others who spoke righteously, he smiled depressedly. It seemed that these two nerds had become fools again.
The guns of Luo Xiang and others.
As for another opinion, the main one is that the military generals play the leading role. With the experience of fighting alongside the Korean soldiers as comrades, the Hetao side is very distrustful of other armies. Jiang Chenzhou even said with great enthusiasm that if they are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, they are afraid of pigs.
Teammate. These words made Fu Ruoshui's face change drastically at that time, and he glared fiercely at this reckless commander of the Legion of Honor. If it weren't for the fact that he was above the imperial court, Fu Ruoshui would definitely give Jiang Chenzhou a lesson.
When the representatives sent by the Zhang family in Huaishui and the Li family in Qinchuan heard this, they all gritted their teeth, but the situation was stronger than the others, and there was nothing they could do.
Now, Tiandu Shengjing has gathered all the troops from the south of Hetao, including nine complete legions including Hu Ben, Xue Sha, White Tiger, Falcon, Qing Long, Honor, Long Xiang, Red Snake, and Feng Wu, as well as the Rock Legion Zhu Xigao.
With an army of 750,000, the Navy's Dragon Corps was cruising on the Xijiang River, and the Goryeo Navy was cruising in the eastern coastal area. Because the main attack direction when leaving the fortress this time was Mandan and Baijing, the Juyongguan Qilin Corps was also within the mobilization range of Hetao.
In other words, Hetao's expedition outside the Great Wall mobilized around 800,000 troops.
"Tiandu Shengjing is an important place in the imperial capital. If the Huben Army is separated, the force will be a little weaker. I believe that 50,000 soldiers from Zhu Xigao, the Rock Army, can stay here. Luoche has surrendered, and there is no need for the remaining troops on the Bloody Plateau.
There are too many, so the Snow Lion Army can be mobilized." Luo Xiang slowly stepped out and said: "In addition, the Dahe defense line can be defended by the Korean Navy."
Haotian said in surprise: "Goryeo Navy, our dragon army?"
Chu Xiangcheng also stood up: "My lord, leaving Liaoyang in the east is not just the mountain and sea; the way to Sashan in the west is not the same as Jiayu. Sashan is my enemy who is not loyal to heaven. General He does not want me to be with the Celestial Dynasty and Sashan."
During the decisive battle between Shan and Shan, the naval officers could only stand by and watch. Therefore, part of the fleet has been sent to trial the voyage."
Haotian was overjoyed. He had known about Shu Lan's voyage before, but he didn't pay attention at the time. He didn't expect He Bugui to have such a vision. He laughed and said: "In that case, the Dragon Legion will stay in Xijiang for the time being.
It's nearby. But if we want to go on an expedition against Sashan, we must have done so after pacifying the foreign races outside the Great Wall."
Haotian was happy, but Zhu Xigao's face turned bitter. Seeing that so many brothers were about to go to the battlefield, but he stayed in Tiandu Shengjing to look at the stalls, Zhu Xigao was naturally very depressed and was about to go out.
, Bian Zhongxing turned his head inadvertently and glared at him fiercely.
Zhu Xigao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was Bian Zhongxing's old subordinate. He naturally knew what kind of temper his old superior was. He had already taken half a step out and immediately stepped back. But he was very confused and didn't know Bian Zhongxing's temper.
What exactly does it mean.
"Ten days later, the army is ready to go out. The destination is Juyongguan." Haotian said solemnly: "After the army goes out, the military affairs of Tiandu Shengjing will be all handled by the border commander. The government affairs are still under the control of the left prime minister, but there are some evil intentions.
Anyone can beheaded first and played later."
No one in Hetao had any reaction to Haotian's order. This was Haotian's usual practice every time he went on an expedition, and everyone had long been accustomed to it.
After saying this, Haotian was about to stand up and leave the court when Chu Xiangcheng suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, what if someone intends to rebel?"
"If someone really dares to do this, the nine tribes will be killed after the armies join forces." Haotian said nonchalantly, while a smile appeared on the faces of Luo Xiang, Chu Xiangcheng and others at the same time.
I don’t know why, Hetao especially likes February 2nd. Since Hetao was ordered to go south in 621, Hetao will always launch a rapid offensive on February 2nd every year, and this offensive often means that the Hetao army will conquer the city and seize territory in a year.
start.
This year is no exception.
Taking advantage of the fact that the river had not yet thawed, the 750,000 troops near Tiandu Shengjing slowly embarked on the journey. As for the Snow Lion Corps, after receiving the order, deputy commander Hu Biyandan immediately led 50,000 cavalry from
Anxi Road goes all the way east, along the mountains of the Great Wall, preparing to meet the main army at the foot of Juyong Pass in Hetao.
The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The official road from Tiandu Shengjing to Juyongguan is crowded with grain trucks. In order to ensure the food needs of the army's expedition, Chu Xiangcheng gave an order to flood the Zhangjia and Dahu roads in Huai River.
All the grain in the prefecture and city was transported north, leaving only the necessary food needs for the local area.
What makes the Zhang family, Gu Changfeng and others extremely dissatisfied is that half of the grain shipped north to the Hetao is transported to Juyongguan, and the rest is all sent to the granary in Yanzhou, the Hetao. Moreover, the Hetao is not only for searching for grain, but also for gold.
Silver and other physical objects as well as poetry, calligraphy, paintings, pearls and jade and other frivolous wealth were not spared. While food was transported north, countless exquisite cultural relics and rare treasures were also transported to the Holy Capital of Niantian.
"Prime Minister Zuo, this is robbery, naked robbery." An old man almost roared at Chu Xiangcheng.
Chu Xiangcheng didn't take it seriously either. It was said that the prime minister's belly can hold a boat. As the prime minister of the empire, he felt that he needed to show his magnanimity and grace. He waited until the other party roared and his mouth went dry, then he poured a cup of tea.
, said with a smile: "Sir, please don't get excited, please speak slowly if you have anything to say."
This is a cloth merchant from Jiangnan Road named Song Yuesheng. Before the Paradise Holy Sect and the Eastern Japanese soldiers attacked Jiangnan Road, he had already fled to Huaiping Prefecture with his family property and servants after receiving the news. Therefore,
, although he lost all his property on Jiangnan Road, he managed to save his family property to some extent. Later, Hetao regained Jiangnan, and he returned to his former residence. But he never expected that as soon as he completed the resettlement, the army from Hetao arrived, and in one fell swoop
He plundered half of the rare treasures in his home.
Song Yuesheng sat down with a cold snort, picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He said very unceremoniously: "Master Zuo Xiang, I, Song Yuesheng, firmly support the empire. If the empire lacks military pay or food and grass, as long as you open
I, Song Yuesheng, will never stand idly by, but you guys took away most of the heirlooms that the Han family has treasured for hundreds of years without even saying hello, this is going too far."
I don’t know at what time, the news that Chu Xiangcheng was born in Mingjian Villa spread throughout the mainland of China. Chu Xiangcheng did not deny it, so the local tycoons in Jiangnan who thought they had some friendship with Mingjian Villa came to pay their respects. Song Yuesheng
He had a close relationship with Chu Xiangcheng's father, so he was not so cautious when speaking in front of Chu Xiangcheng.
Chu Xiangcheng smiled and said: "Sir, what we confiscated in Hetao is not your family heirloom, but the treasure from the Hu family. I don't know if the truth is correct?"
Song Yuesheng's face changed, and Chu Xiangcheng stood up, took two steps and said: "Back then, the four great merchants of the Qingfeng Empire, the Mai family of Tiandu Shengjing, were wiped out when the Holy Sect of Paradise was raging, and the Zhu family of Ryukyu was destroyed by the East.
The Japanese were uprooted. Our army went south, and the Tong family in Yangzhou was exterminated. The Hu family on Jiangnan Road fled to Jinhua Sanyue to survive, but it should also be exterminated now. The Hu family and the Song family have been in-laws for several generations, and the treasures in the boss's family are
, more than half of them are from the Hu family. The Hu family colluded with foreign tribes to split our country, and they should be confiscated and exterminated. Therefore, we only returned the Hu family’s property to the national treasury. As for the boss’s heirlooms, we have not touched them at all.
Pass."
Song Yuesheng's face turned blue and white, looking at Chu Xiangcheng's indifferent smile, and finally flicked his sleeves angrily and said nothing.
When Song Yuesheng walked out of his study, Chu Xiangcheng shouted in a low voice: "Here comes someone."
"What are your orders, Prime Minister?" a capable man suddenly appeared at the door and said.
"Inform Guanying to pay close attention to these merchants, especially their connections with the Zhang family, Li family and other wealthy families." Chu Xiangcheng groaned.
The man followed the order and left. Chu Xiangcheng was suddenly the only one left in the study, standing with his hands behind his hands, watching the flowers blooming and falling outside the window alone. Chu Xiangcheng's face no longer had the gentle smile at the beginning, nor the murderous look in his eyes.
Decisive, actually still above Luo Xiang.
"Prime Minister Zuo, you will be rewarded for eating your soul." A slightly dry voice came from outside the door.
"Is it Zhu Tun? Come in." Chu Xiangcheng said lazily.
Zhu Tun walked into the study in two steps, bowed respectfully to Chu Xiangcheng, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zuo, the war in Lingnan is basically over. The four legions of Dingnan, Yellow Turban, Po Li and Zhu Lu are encircling and suppressing them.
Under the fire, all the remaining strength of Jinhua was destroyed in the sea of fire. Now Cheng Guochi and others are commanding the soldiers to complete the Bone Palace City."
Chu Xiangcheng sat back on the Grand Master's chair, half-closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The lord's army has just set off, and the war on their side has come to an end. If there is no connection at all, I will never believe it. They are still here
Building a city? Then let them build it and temporarily consume their energy."
Zhu Tun continued: "Minister Zuo, after the four legions arrived in Lingnan, the top leaders of the parties often met, and some generals were still fanning the flames below, inciting the resentment of ordinary soldiers against our Hetao. The subordinates thought that it would be better to strike first.
.”
Chu Xiangcheng shook his head: "Just keep staring at them. They don't dare to take any action for the time being. Unless there is news of defeat from the Lord, and it is a disastrous defeat, they will definitely be a coward."
Zhu Tun shut up. This level of confrontation was beyond his scope of authority. As long as he fed back his information to Chu Xiangcheng accurately and timely, that was enough. As for the rest, it should be Chu Xiangcheng.
Issues that you should worry about,
"Go back and tell Wan Liangcheng to keep a close eye on the southwest area to avoid any loopholes. Remember, the other party is also an old fox. Don't let your tail slip out first." Chu Xiangcheng thought for a moment and said to
Zhu Tun said.
"Yes." Zhu Tun's heart trembled. He naturally knew the importance of this matter, so even his answer was full of murderous intent.
"In the daytime, we climb mountains to watch the beacon fire, and at dusk, we drink horses by the river. Pedestrians fight against the wind and sand, and the princess plays the pipa with many resentments. We camp for thousands of miles without a city wall, and rain and snow fall on the desert. Hu Yan flies away night after night with a cry, and Hu Er sheds tears after hearing the truth.
The Jade Gate is still covered, and life should be driven away. The bones of battles are buried outside every year, and the peaches of the Han Dynasty are nowhere to be seen." Standing on the tall tower of Juyongguan, looking at the vast white land outside the Great Wall, Hao
Tian couldn't help singing loudly.
Luo Xiang took a step forward and said with a smile: "Why is my lord so sad all of a sudden? My army went out to the fortress to avenge its shame. It should be more generous and heroic."
Haotian was just a little sentimental just now. When he heard Luo Xiang's words, he suddenly became energetic and said with a smile: "Then what kind of poetry can be considered generous and heroic?"
"The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty passed the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains!" Luo Xiang roared loudly. He was already full of energy, and his powerful voice echoed in the mountains.
It echoes constantly, expressing the generosity and heroism in this ancient poem vividly.
Feng Jing clapped his hands and sighed: "The horse is newly riding on the white jade saddle. After the battle, the moon is cold on the battlefield. The sound of the iron drums on the city head is still shaking, and the blood of the golden sword in the box is still wet!"
"Qinghai is dark with long clouds and snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks into the distance at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned until it is broken!" There was another powerful voice. Haotian and others followed the sound, but it was Dugu and Xue Shazheng.
He walked over with a smile, and listening to the voice, it was obvious that the person who just recited the poem was Dugu Yuming.
Haotian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Dushuai's words are wrong. Let's not mention that Yumen Pass is not an isolated city, and we are not Po Loulan now."
Dugu didn't take it seriously, and laughed and said: "I just saw everyone being so excited, so I joined in the fun. Haha, now it is unfair that the outside world will not return it!"
Haotian also let out a long laugh: "With the words "Du Shuai", we will definitely be able to conquer the Great Wall!"
Xue Sha cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the Snow Lion Legion's 50,000 cavalry have arrived, and the military advisor asked when to offer sacrifices to the sky."
"Tomorrow morning will be another great day for the Dragon to raise its head on the second day of February. Haha, the descendants of the Dragon will truly raise their head on this day, letting the aliens outside the Great Wall know that the dignity of our Chinese state must not be insulted. Those who offend our heavenly power, even though they are poor,
Search the world and you will definitely be punished!"
In the entire history of China, except for the time when the Jun Lin Tian Xia Dynasty was just unified, there was a feat of one million troops marching out of the fortress. Later, even the most powerful Han and Tang empires did not have more than 500,000 troops when they marched out of the fortress.
Hetao has now mobilized a total of 800,000 elite warriors, and it is obvious that it is preparing to solve all the problems outside the Great Wall at once. For at least thirty years, the Great Wall will no longer have any power to threaten the security of China.
"February 2, February 2 again." In Shensha City, Cassimbas held the battle report in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile.
Hekimur said strangely: "Commander, didn't you already expect that the Hetao would leave today? Why are you still so surprised?"
Cassimbas's head of white hair shook: "It's not surprise, but bitterness. In the Millennium China, this giant dragon that has been sleeping for many years finally wakes up. The dragon raises its head. Once this dragon raises its head, it will be ours outside the Great Wall.
What a disaster."
"Your Majesty invites the commander to go to the palace to discuss countermeasures." Hejimu'er remembered his own affairs and bowed quickly.
Kasimbas smiled helplessly. He originally thought that he would enjoy his old age at home, but in the end he would not be able to escape and fight on the battlefield. However, as a military god who paid homage to Beijing, he had no reason to refuse. Haixi had been killed by his clan.
To destroy them, with the help of Hetao, Baijing and Mandan will definitely not be let go.
"Let's talk after we get on the carriage." Cassimbas and Hekimul walked out of their mansion together and said.
"Haotian gathered all his elite troops this time, and all of them were direct descendants of the Hetao. The legions that surrendered to them all stayed south of the river. Except for the Panshi legion responsible for defense, all the six main legions in the Hetao followed.
He set off for the expedition. Among the second-line legions, the Snow Lion, Honor, Red Snake, Long Xiang and Feng Wu also all arrived. Together with the Qilin Legion in Juyong Pass, the total strength was as high as 800,000." Hejimu'er took the time to say.
Cassimbas leaned back on the cushions and said with half-closed eyes: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
There was a hint of bitterness on Hekimu'er's face: "Your Majesty is now without a master, so he urgently summoned you, Marshal, to come to the palace for discussion."
Pulski II was not a wise king, but he was definitely not a faint king. Since the Xianlie Emperor of Qingfeng came to the throne, the Qingfeng Empire and even the surrounding countries have seen the situation of powerful ministers in power. Although the monarch still maintains a lot of influence
Power, but the core of the entire country's operation has been handed over to the powerful minister. In other words, this powerful minister has represented the entire country. For example, Park Zhicheng of Jinhua, Guo Huai of Uma, Bu Xianji of Goryeo, and Heng Tieying
Shi Hasan, Memphis of Tyumen, but the most outstanding ones are Jinmeiliu of Haixi and Yelu Canghai of Mandan. In the Baijing Dynasty, Kashimbas had unparalleled prestige in the military and was called Beyond the Great Wall.
The first general, but he has never been able to control the political power of Beijing. Although Pulski II gave him all the military power, he has been unable to intervene in the political affairs.
Cassimbas sighed silently in his heart and really closed his eyes. This time entering the palace, there is a high probability that there will be no results.
