Chapter 284: The Jianwu Army Passes Through
"Our army won a small victory." Gangwu snorted.
Then he added: "But we have few soldiers, and when the reinforcements arrive, the Zhou State will be defeated!" ”
Lu Yuan was silent, Zhang Dezhong and Su Qingzhe were not optimistic about Zhou Guo's victory, and now when he heard Gangwu's words, he became more and more uneasy in his heart.
If the Zhou State is destroyed by the Khitans, the Khitans will definitely go south at that time, so he must strengthen his strength as soon as possible, he doesn't want to bring the result of foreign chaos after he comes to this world!
At this moment, Gangquan noticed a person standing at the gate, it was his mother.
She didn't know when she came back, and she was standing at the door with tears in her eyes, obviously hearing what her brother had just said.
"Mother, my brother's brain is broken, don't be sad." Gangquan persuaded.
"Evil Barrier!" Gang's mother raised her broom and pumped it at Gangwu, crying while shouting: "From now on, when I don't have you as a son, you go, let me go!" ”
Gangwu flashed her broom and shouted, "Just go, don't regret it when the time comes!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but Lu Yuan dodged to block his way.
"What?" Gangwu raised his eyebrows.
"I want to tell you a few things."
Gangwu turned around and took a look, and when he saw that his mother didn't call again, he clasped his hands on his chest and said, "If there is a fart, let it go." ”
"You don't know history, I'll make up some knowledge for you." Lu Yuan said slowly: "Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has never faced less foreign threats. In the Han Dynasty, there were powerful Xiongnu, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were invincible Turks, who were as strong as the Khitans because of their growth environment, and advocated military force. But they all perished in the end at the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, why do you think that? ”
"Why?" Gangwu's eyes were a little flustered.
"Because it is not simply force that determines war, but also factors such as weapons, combat skills, logistics, resources, and national cohesion, especially weapons, when weapons develop to a certain extent in the future, these nomads who advocate force may become more peace-loving than anyone else."
"You talk nonsense." Gang Wu is in a hurry.
Lu Yuan ignored him and continued: "Among so many factors, the Khitans are inferior to my Central Plains Dynasty in everything except for their physique and the number of war horses, and now they may be able to run rampant for a while, but sooner or later they will be expelled from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future." ”
"You are talking nonsense, the war horse and physique are the most important, I don't believe that the Khitan will lose!" Gangwu said loudly, but unfortunately no matter how loud the voice was, it couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
"Whether you believe it or not, this will not change, and one more thing I want to tell you, I will put you in prison for espionage, Liao is my enemy, since you claim to be from Liao, I don't want to let you go back and be my enemy." Lu Yuan said coldly.
Gangwu's eyes widened, and suddenly he dodged, and rushed outside over Lu Yuan.
"Senior sister!"
"Got it." Li Ruozhen, who was outside the door, responded, a strong wind swept by, Gangwu fell to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard, bastard, when my Great Liao army sweeps in, Lao Tzu will never let you go." ”
Then another strong wind swept by, and I saw that his mouth was still moving, but his voice could not be heard.
"You... What are you going to do with him? Gangmu's pleading gaze looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Old man, don't worry, I will educate and reform him well, and when the time comes, I will give you a good son who is filial and sensible." ”
After speaking, he turned and walked out the door.
Qin Youyu bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I originally came to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
As he spoke, he left.
Gangquan walked up to Gang's mother, held her arm and said, "Mother, you have to believe that Lu Houye and General Qin will definitely make your younger brother change his ways." ”
Jinling Mansion.
After Li Hongyi's class returned to the court, because of the merit of destroying Liu Yan, the military unanimously asked the Tang Emperor to reward King Yan.
However, Li Jing was unmoved, only rewarded him with some gold and silver treasures, and refused Li Hongyi's request for a reward as a subordinate general, which caused many people in the military to be dissatisfied.
Outside the palace of King Yan, Li Hongyi galloped suddenly, and after reaching the gate of the palace, he dismounted, and the whole process was clean and neat, showing excellent riding skills.
After entering the house, he went straight to the study.
In the study, several of his henchmen had been waiting for a long time, and Li Wenxuan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is in such a hurry to call you over, is it for you to exterminate the Jianwu Army?" ”
Li Hongyi took off his robe, handed it to a subordinate, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Zhang Kai smiled and said: "This is a good thing, it proves that Your Majesty has understood that only His Highness can win the battle." ”
"It's a good thing to fart, if you make a merit and don't give you a promotion, I think Your Highness should be called sick, who else can Your Majesty rely on?" Li Sheng pouted.
Li Hongyi said lightly: "Don't say these vindictive words, since my father asked me to fight, I will take the order to go, even if my father doesn't give a reward, can't the ministers of the court and the central government see it?" Can't the soldiers in the army see it? ”
Li Wenxuan clapped his hands and said: "What His Highness said is that the current situation is becoming more and more favorable to us, even Wang Kai's old fox has begun to move closer to us, as long as we don't make big mistakes, Li Jingsui can't compete with His Highness." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, the news from the north should come back, what's going on with Qi Ng?" Li Hongyi asked.
Zhang Kai said in a deep voice: "The Zhou army and the Khitan army have already fought in Yingzhou, and neither side has bargained, and the Khitan reinforcements and the follow-up troops of the Zhou army are also gathering, and it is likely to turn into a protracted war." ”
Li Hongyi smiled and said: "Very good, let the people of the Zhou Kingdom go and slowly consume the Khitans." ”
Li Sheng said regretfully: "If only our Tang Kingdom didn't have this civil strife, His Highness could lead us to take the opportunity to seize the Central Plains." ”
"No, you're wrong." Li Hongyi said in a deep voice: "If there is no civil strife, my father will only let my incompetent imperial uncle lead the army, and then he may lose miserably to the Zhou State, which will be a great loss of vitality." ”
"Not bad." Zhang Kai agreed: "It's better now, with the help of this civil strife, Your Majesty knows who can win the battle, and His Highness's roots in the army are getting deeper and deeper." ”
Li Sheng smiled: "So, this attack on the Xuanzhou Jianwu Army is also a good thing?" ”
"Not bad." Li Hongyi said with a smile, as long as he continues to strengthen his strength in the army, even if his father doesn't want to pass on the throne to him at that time, he can't help it.
"Your Highness, if we want to fight the Jianwu Army, we must do it as soon as possible." Li Wenxuan said suddenly.
"What's wrong? Did you get any news? ”
"Yes." Li Wenxuan nodded: "According to the information I just got, Lu Yuan has agreed to borrow money from the Jianwu Army. ”
"Didn't Your Majesty already issue an order not to allow Hui'an Mansion and Chizhou to lend them money?" Open frowned.
Li Wenxuan said lightly: "Lu Weiyi naturally doesn't dare to borrow the way, but Lu Yuan is different, he is now extremely prosperous, and he doesn't do things according to common sense, and he won't take His Majesty's will seriously at all. ”
"You're talking about a wolf, right, he infiltrated the officialdom of Hui'an Mansion and wasn't suspected, right?"
Li Wenxuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, the wolf's mind is second to none among the doves, and the adaptability is also strong, so there will be no problem." ”
Li Hongyi bowed his head: "That's good, it takes time for the army to assemble, since time is tight, tomorrow I will send a 10,000-strong cavalry as the vanguard to march immediately, Li Sheng, I will hand over this vanguard army to you!" ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely take off the heads of Huang Fuhui's father and son and dedicate them to His Highness!"
It's a pity that Li Hongyi sent troops no matter how early it was, and two days later, when the forbidden army had not yet entered Xuanzhou, the Jianwu Army had already negotiated with Hui'an Mansion about the details, and was leading more than 40,000 people under his command to enter the territory of Hui'an Mansion and go to Xinzhou.
The route that the Jianwu army borrowed was to bypass the border of the Hui'an army, and Lu Yuan naturally would not let go of the city gate and let the Jianwu army cross through the Hui'an Mansion.
Huang Fuhui also knew this, so he didn't force it too much. If you take the trail, it will be more difficult to carry the weight of grain and grass, but if the march is slower, you can still pass.
Three days later.
The vanguard of the Jianwu Army was walking on a small road between Hui'an Mansion and Chizhou, Huang Fuhui's face was gloomy, and it rained last night, which made today's road particularly difficult to walk, and the carriage was often stuck in the pit.
Behind him, Huang Fuhui was full of smiles, since he left Xuanzhou, he felt relieved, the whole person was much more relaxed, even walking on such a path, he didn't feel irritable.
As long as Xinzhou is taken, there is a Hui'an army in the middle, it will be difficult for the Tang State to threaten them, and when the time comes, they can recruit troops and buy horses, rapidly expand their strength, and it may not be impossible to dominate the world in the future, this is Huangfu Sheng's ambition.
Just as he was thinking of the proud place, there was a sudden cry behind him, Huang Fusheng turned his head to look, but he couldn't see it clearly, and said to Huang Fuhui: "Father, I'll take a look." ”
After riding his horse for a while, he saw that on the side of the road, several soldiers were beating a woman.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Huangfu Sheng said angrily.
When several soldiers saw the young marshal speak, they immediately stopped, and the leader of them all smiled and said: "Young marshal, it's okay, let's pick a few oranges on the side of the road, and this woman will come to entangle, so let's teach her a lesson." ”
The woman cried out, "You are talking nonsense, you have picked all my orange groves and killed my son, and I don't want to live!" ”
