The royal drive was given by Liu Zhiyuan in this way, and he acted arbitrarily, without even considering the meaning of the views of important ministers such as Yang Wei, and the tone was unquestionable. It seems, even a little sloppy.

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't really be moved by Liu Chengyou's words easily, he actually had an idea about the matter of pro-conquest, and he had it when the war in Yedu was not going well.

As an emperor, although Liu Zhiyuan is not qualified, his vision is still there. Let go of the selfish thoughts in his heart and look at the war in Yedu objectively, Liu Zhiyuan certainly knows that Gao Xingzhou is not at fault. He even knew in his heart what was the root cause of the sluggish progress of the counterinsurgency war today. It has always been taboo for generals to be in discord, not to mention Murong Yanchao, a "prison army" with a special identity.

Two days ago, Liu Zhiyuan promoted two former ministers of the former dynasty to be ministers, Dou Zhengu worshiped Sikong, Menxia Shilang, Pingzhangshi, and Hongwenguan University Scholar, and Li Tao was a Zhongshu Shilang and Hubu Shangshu and Pingzhangshi.

Since entering the Bian, the court has been in turmoil, and all parties have competed for power, resulting in the withering of the government. Liu Zhiyuan also couldn't stand the wanton efforts of these Yuan servants, and promoted Dou Zhengu and Li Tao, which suddenly broke the monopoly of the old ministers of Hedong on the court, and at the same time, it was also a warning from Liu Zhiyuan to the ministers.

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan was not promoted casually by the two people who were selected. Dou Zhengu and Liu Zhiyuan have an old relationship, once a colleague under the command of Shi Jingjiao, with a suitable temperament, there was such a period of incense, with its prestige, worship as a minister.

As for Li Tao, he relied on his real talent to get Liu Zhiyuan's appreciation. Before, he secretly played with Liu Zhiyuan, analyzed the situation in Yedu, analyzed it in detail, and penetrated into it, which even won Liu Zhiyuan's heart, and also suggested that Liu Zhiyuan go on a personal expedition, which was more in line with his wishes. In addition, he had the merit of welcoming Feng into Tokyo before, and he was able to suddenly become a minister and become a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan did not respond to Liu Chengyou's invitation as soon as his mind was hot, but he had already thought it through.

Liu Zhiyuan, the Han Dynasty, came a little lucky, but since he grew up to become an emperor, the hardships and sufferings during this period can be explained by the word "luck". Although Liu suffers from old age, repeated dark injuries, and his body is getting weaker and weaker, he is an emperor after all, and when he really wants to stand up and go to the battlefield, he will definitely not be ambiguous.

After the edict was issued, the military and political departments of the imperial court followed up and prepared. The busiest ones have to belong to the Privy Council and the Third Division, deploying soldiers and horses to supply military supplies. After discussion, Liu Zhiyuan went here, and the remaining forbidden troops in Kaifeng City had to take more than half of it. The Great Inner Zhu deployed the squad straight army, the crane army thundered and did not move as a close soldier, the scattered members were in the column, the guards were under the jurisdiction of the army, the two armies of Xiaodi and Longqi and the two horse armies of the Holy Protector were recruited. With more than 50,000 troops, it can be said that the elite are all out, and at this scale and movement, it can be seen that Liu Zhiyuan will take Yedu and quell the rebellion on this trip.

Under the official edict on the 7th, preparations were made on the 8th and 9th, and on the 10th, Liu Zhiyuan led the army out of Tokyo and headed north.

Here in Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan also made a more appropriate arrangement, with Liu Chengxun, the king of Wei, supervising the country, supplemented by Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao and other civil and military personnel, in order to avoid any moths in the court during his absence, he directly took Su Fengji with him. For Su Fengji, Liu Zhiyuan seems to really have a "special" love and is particularly tolerant.

As for Liu Chengyou, as he expected, he was successfully recruited by Liu Zhiyuan and served as the capital prisoner of the camp.

In addition to the necessary food supplies, armor and ordnance, military tents and bedding necessary for the soldiers to march, the Beifa Forbidden Army was also lightly armed, and many Ding Zhuang and mules and horses were requisitioned from the people to accompany them, which saved a lot of soldiers' energy.

Liu Zhiyuan was in the Chinese army, he did not urge the troops, he was not a little impatient, if the emperor was like this, the entire process of the army was extremely calm. Marching at a speed of 80 miles a day, it took two days to reach Huazhou, rest for one night, and arrive at Lanzhou on the third day.

Regarding the place of Lanzhou, in history, the most famous event is the "Lanyuan Alliance". However, in the period of "Five Dynasties", it has always been a place for soldiers to fight for (there are really many places for soldiers to fight...... In the middle and late periods, the importance became increasingly prominent, especially in the role of Gongwei Kaifeng. In that year, Zhuangzong destroyed the Liang, the two sides faced each other between the rivers, and the Yellow River line was basically carried out in the area of Wei and Lan, and around Deshengdu, the two sides repeatedly fought more than 100 battles.

And its core is Deshengdu, an important ferry connecting the north and south of the river. The name of the state city is Desheng City, divided into two cities in the north and south, or the original Fu Cunxian (Fu Yanqing Laozi) was ordered to clamp the Yellow River and build.

It can be used as a big river hub ferry, which is naturally a suitable place for crossing, especially for large-scale transfer operations. The Yellow River Basin, where it passes, the terrain is tortuous and undulating, the water is turbulent, and in this era, along the big river, you can also find so many important places.

The army had already been stationed in the southern city, and there was originally a garrison barracks outside the city wall, which was not enough to accommodate so many people, but it also saved the pain of the new establishment. After all, it is the most elite forbidden army of the Han Dynasty, and after the reorganization, although the run-in time is still short and the combat power has not reached its peak, the basic quality is still there. When going out to fight, the discipline of the army was highlighted, and with the strict restraint of the generals and colonels of the army, everything was in order.

As night fell, the dense Han army camp in front of Deshengdu also slowly fell silent, and the soldiers rested and recuperated to relieve the fatigue of the march for days. All around, the sound of wind, water, and animal chirping became clear.

After inspecting the various armies and showing the existence of His Royal Highness King Zhou, Liu Chengyou led a group of people to the ferry. He was appointed as the governor of the camp, supervising the whole army, with great power, marching, garrisoning, and drilling...... The affairs of the army are all observed. Of course, Liu Chengyou, as always, focused on military discipline and regulations, and in just two or three days, his nickname of "Jun Yan Luo" was spreading again. In the past, it was only in the Longqi Army, but now, it is the entire forbidden army.

The dry season of winter has not yet come, the water level is not low, the land is slippery and watery, the terrain is flat, and the river is not so turbulent so far. Condescendingly, to watch the river, in the night sky, the moonlight is dim, and the fog on the water surface can be seen in the distance, overflowing, and you can feel its cold from afar.

At the ferry, hundreds of large and small boats collected by the imperial court were docked, and fishermen and boatmen lived on them. In the thatched huts and sheds along the tidal flats, three or four thousand Ding Zhuang laborers huddled inside, hiding from the autumn wind to spend the night, and it is said that in order to support the war, the young and strong people in Lanzhou were requisitioned and transferred more than half of them.

On the shore, soldiers and escorts constantly patrolled by, scanning the laborers with a fierce gaze to prevent turmoil.

At the port near the water, a general, surrounded by a group of generals, was pointing and discussing something. Liu Chengyou walked up slowly and said hello: "General Wang." ”

The general is Wang Jun, who was appointed by Liu Zhiyuan to deploy the camp on land and water. Speaking of this Wang Jun, before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty, he also actively campaigned for it, trying his best to advocate for Liu Zhiyuan to be the emperor, and he was also regarded as a founding hero, and he worked a lot. After arriving in Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan was also very kind to him, and he added the military department to the squire, reorganized the forbidden army, and commanded it as a scattered member, and led the history of Bazhou Assassination.

However, Wang Jun's ambitions are obviously more than that, and he is a little dissatisfied, but he wants to climb up, but the upper space is firmly controlled by Yang, Shi and other civil and military forces. This time I was fortunate to be driving, I was full of energy, I had to perform well, deployed in front of the camp, worked very hard, and strived not to make mistakes, if my subordinates made mistakes, the punishment was more severe than Liu Chengyou, and the whipping and cane were light.

Between the two people, there is also some friendship, when he was in Jinyang, Wang Jun sent an envoy to the Khitan and returned, and Liu Chengyou also consulted him on the Central Plains and gained a lot. Although there was less contact later, it was still maintained, and Wang Jun was also one of the few people who stood on the same position as Liu Chengyou when he spoke out in support of Gao Xingzhou before.

"Your Highness." Seeing that it was Liu Chengyou, Wang Jun's originally serious expression immediately softened and returned a salute. The generals around him also hurriedly followed and saluted.

"You stand down first, prepare according to my orders, cross the river tomorrow, and don't let any mistakes go unnoticed!" Wang Jun solemnly withdrew his subordinates, very powerful.

"The general is really dutiful!" Standing on the riverbank, he could feel the vibration of the rushing water, and Liu Chengyou praised him.

Hearing this, the corners of Wang Jun's mouth flashed a little smug smile, and he spoke quite humbly: "The last general is just sending a little bit of his duty." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou sighed: "Fang is under today, Daozhou Jiedu will be in charge of the school, how many people can do their jobs?" ”

The wind was strong by the river, and there was a lot of noise, and I had to speak with my throat full. The two walked to a shed at the back to talk, and Liu Chengyou asked: "With the general here, the matter of crossing the river is expected to be safe, right?" ”

Mentioning this, Wang Jun's tone was very affirmative: "There are no heavy weapons in the army, as long as the heavens are beautiful, tomorrow can be crossed one day!" ”

"The general is really capable!"

"Your Highness."

Through the straw mat curtain, looking at the north, even if the line of sight is dim, the outline of the north city of Desheng on the opposite bank is faintly visible, Wang Jun said: "The adopted son of the Guo family has made great contributions and kept the mouth of Desheng, otherwise, the counterinsurgency war will inevitably be erosive, and there will be no our army to cross the river calmly now." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou followed his gaze to the north, thought for a while, and said: "The general has always had a lot of opinions on military affairs, I don't know what you think about the battle situation in Yedu?" ”

"Your Highness, is this the final general?" Wang Jun turned his head to look at Liu Chengyou and asked with a smile.

"I want to hear what the general thinks."

"With the wisdom of His Royal Highness, I am afraid that the situation in Yedu has long been familiar with the fire." Wang Jun blew Liu Chengyou first, and then said firmly: "Du Rebellion is at the end of the road, the official family personally mentions that the elite of the country will go north, once the troops arrive, Ye can go down overnight!" ”

"Why is the general so sure?"

Wang Jun replied directly: "The imperial court has to win!" ”
