Central Plains Chapter 64 The Imperial Expedition

Just when the three-way army of the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Li Mang of the Daxing Dynasty converged in Jiancheng, Dawu and Dayi seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation, and Dayi mobilized 500,000 troops from Yangzhou to march westward, approaching the eastern border of Daxing.

"Your Majesty, the eastern border is urgent, Dayi sent 500,000 troops, and if you want to invade our border, please make a decision."

"I know, first pass on this matter to King Xian, so that he can be prepared, in the short term, there will be no support from the Southern Expeditionary Army. The matter of the eastern border, I have decided, I want to drive the expedition in person, Liu Yidao and the Yanzhou military academy captain immediately came to see me" Liu Jing seemed to have expected it, and he was not the slightest surprised, but quickly made a deployment.

"Your Majesty, no..."The hundred officials admonished, now is not a particularly difficult time, how can the emperor lightly say that the emperor is in person?

"Okay, no need to say any more, I have already expected this matter, and I have already thought about it, if Dayi does not go to war, it is easy to say, if there is a war, I will fight for my family, and I will definitely leave his million-strong army" Liu Jing waved his imperial robe and said.

Not long after, Liu Yidao and Yanzhou Military Academy Captain Liu Ye responded to the call, saluted and waited for the emperor to follow, Liu Jing glanced at the two and gave a serious order.

"Order the Yanzhou army to immediately reorganize the army, go east with me, resist the invasion of Dayi, Liu Yidao and his subordinates follow me, and the military supplies must be prepared within three days without delay."

"Yes," the two of them bowed again. The hundred officials also bowed and received orders, and for a time the huge state apparatus was running at high speed again.

......

But said that on the other side, when Li Mang was thinking about how to attack Dawu Xingzhou, he suddenly received a letter from Liu Jing, the letter of the general Dawu and Dayi alliance, the matter of Dayi sending troops to invade the eastern border, Liu Jing's decision to drive the personal expedition and the fact that Li Mang's southern expeditionary army did not have any support in the short term According to the truth, for a while, Li Mang could only choose to stick to the prison city, and could not go out lightly, waiting for Liu Jing's battle situation.

"Big brother, Liu Jing sent a letter saying that Dayi sent troops and wanted to invade the eastern border, he wanted to drive the imperial conquest in person, this time you Crazy Daomen will also follow the army, and there is nothing wrong at the moment, it is better for you to lead the defenders in the Great Fall City and the surrendered army to the eastern border, I am afraid that there will be an accident" Li Mang called the stone tent and said directly.

Shi Peng thought about it, then nodded and said: "Okay, if you don't take the initiative to start a war here, you won't dare to move that Dawu, and I won't be able to take a trip."

"Well, then let's go, remember to tell Liu Jing, otherwise if you don't move, you will directly cripple the other party, otherwise the two fronts will start a war, and you won't last long." But even if you lose in the end, you must ensure the safety of Liu Jing and yourself, if there is a slight accident, I may give up the southern expedition and lead the army forward, and this good situation will no longer exist. So, you have to be careful, be careful," said Limman.

"Understood, you should be careful, I'm leaving"

"Hmm"

......

After about ten days, Dayi's Yangzhou army finally arrived at the border pass, and the border army totaled one million, and was resting from the army.

At the same time, the 500,000 Yanzhou Army and 20,000 Internal Guards led by Liu Jing and nearly 1,000 Crazy Daomen men finally arrived at the border.

In the big tent of the Daxing Dynasty.

Liu Jingduan sat on the high seat, looked at the Yanzhou Military Academy Captain and the Bian Military Academy Captain under the tent and asked, "Liu Ye, Chen An, tell me about the two of you, how should this battle be fought?"

Liu Ye, the captain of the Yanzhou Military Academy, was the first to speak: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has never been to the border pass, and he does not know much about the situation in this place, and he knows very little about the situation of the Dayi border army, so the minister feels that this battle should be handed over to the command of Captain Chen, and the minister is willing to be a pawn and charge forward for Daxing and His Majesty."

Liu Jing looked at Liu Ye with great appreciation, and then turned to look at Chen An and said, "Chen An, you know the situation best, you can talk about it."

"Yes" Chen An bowed down, and then thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "Your Majesty, the border military captain of Dayi is Wang Chang, this person has a rigorous style, and his majesty is extremely strict, and he has been stationed on the border of Dayi for five years, which has given a new look to the 500,000 border troops and improved their combat effectiveness a lot. If the minister is only half a pound or eight taels with him, maybe... In short, the minister did not dare to say that he could defeat him."

Chen An said this, and glanced at Liu Jingcai awkwardly, and continued: "The Yangzhou military ministers of Dayi don't know either, but this army has always been the trump card of Dayi, and the combat effectiveness is not weak. When the defense is the mainstay, the enemy does not move, I do not move".

Liu Jing thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there no chance of winning by taking the initiative to attack? Dayi may be able to afford it, but we may not be able to drag it out too much if we start a war on two fronts."

Chen An thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is the safest way, if you take the initiative to attack, not to mention whether we can stand on our feet in righteousness, it is really without scruples and forcibly attack, and the best result is just a defeat for both sides."

"Hey, okay, then let's wait and see," Liu Jing sighed helplessly.

......

"Captain Wang Chang, Your Majesty has ordered me to completely obey your orders, and now that you are the commander of this million-strong army, I wonder what you think about the next war?" asked Li Feng, the military captain of Dayiyang Prefecture, to the people seated.

Captain Wang Chang stroked his beard and said: "Captain Li doesn't have to be like this, you and I are ministers in the same palace, and we should work together to solve problems for Your Majesty, Your Majesty and my order is to keep harassing the Daxing border, not to start a full-scale war, and to drag the Daxing million army to the death, so we guard the border, and the other party must be more anxious than us, so we must calm down and not show a trace of flaws."

"Do you mean that this battle can't be fought for the time being?" asked Li Feng.

"It's not for you to worry about, you're tired all the way, Captain Li should go and rest first" Wang Chang just stroked his beard, and there was no other movement, his expression was extremely indifferent.

"You... Okay, anyway, the army is now under your command, I will do what you say, since I have nothing to do, I will go to rest, if there is any task, just send someone to shout, I Li Feng will never drag you back" Although Li Feng and his people are very arrogant and reckless, they still know how to do it before the big right and wrong.

"It's time for Captain Li to rest, I'll let you know if there's something" Wang Chang said lightly, as if he didn't look down on this reckless man.

After Wang Chang finished speaking, Li Feng turned his head and walked out of the big tent without saying a word, but after turning around, the expression on his rough face became very ugly.

When he returned to the camp tent of his army station, Li Feng was furious and scolded himself: "Damn, don't you look down on Lao Tzu, isn't it just that the queen is your royal family! Otherwise, a military academy captain who fought with Lao Tzu's real sword and real gun will be subservient to you?"

After saying that, he still felt uncomfortable, raised his foot and kicked the wooden table in front of him, and then shouted outside the door: "Someone, notify me to go down, the whole army sleeps, and you are not allowed to get up without my order."

"Yes," the guard outside the door responded.

After Li Feng finished settling down, he casually pulled away the objects scattered on the low kang, and then fell asleep, and soon snored like thunder.

It seems that the conflict between the two has been going on for a long time, and it's not just like today.

......

After the stone tent rushed to the Great Fall City, he took the nearly 100,000 captives who had surrendered and the 20,000 troops of the state and headed northeast.

After ten days of continuous travel, he finally arrived at the eastern border on the second day of the holy car's arrival at the border.

"Your Majesty, King Xian is worried about the war in the east, so he sent his subordinates to bring troops to help" Shi Peng saw Liu Jing and spoke.

"Well, you are also a great master of the Grandmaster now, I naturally use it, I heard that you also brought 100,000 troops?" Liu Jing seemed to be very happy, and then asked at the stone canopy.

"Yes, this is also what King Xian explained, I am afraid that there will be some unexpected situation, so naturally I can bring more people and have more strength" Shi Peng nodded.

"Well, King Xian has a heart, I decided to fight with Dayi in a dignified manner, I don't know what you think?" Liu Jing seemed to just ask casually, but he didn't expect Shi Peng to be stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I was originally ignorant about the war, but King Xian said a few days ago, I especially remember it, this is ten rules to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, the enemy can divide it, if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be done."

"What did Li Mang say? Can he say such a profound way of the art of war?" Liu Jing was quite shocked when he heard this, and then spoke again: "I have decided, I still want to fight, I must fight quickly, and buy more time for King Xian, when the time comes, with his means, why worry that Shenzhou cannot be unified in my hands?"

Liu Jing seems to believe in Li Mang's ability very much, and the previous battles have also confirmed his guess, and he can only realize his imperial dream now by firmly tying Li Mang to his chariot.

What if so many people died in this battle? As long as he repelled Dayi and mobilized the strength of the whole country to do a good job in the logistical work of Li Mang, he believed that Li Mang would not disappoint him.
