Chapter 830: Fight
This winter, destined to make at least this generation forever remembered in their hearts, when they get old, they will sit on the recliner, shake the big fan, smack the wine, eat fried beans, while telling the children and grandchildren this winter, the heroes who are surging and the stories of the blood.
It was supposed to be the season when thousands of mountains and birds flew away and thousands of paths and people disappeared, but because of the death of one person, it caused an oscillation that affected the overall situation of the world.
This person is naturally Zhu Wen, who usurped Tang and became self-reliant.
Putting aside the so-called justice, Zhu Wen, as a generation of heroes, will naturally be remembered in the history books of later generations, not only because he overthrew the rule of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, but also because of his dishonorable death. And because of his death, from the north, to the Central Plains, and then to the south, all the forces seized this opportunity tightly and moved.
Zhu Youyu ascended the throne in Chang'an and controlled Chang'an and most of the Guanzhong, Zhu Youzhen was entrenched in Shannan West Road and kept silent, but Zhu Youzhen gathered the soldiers and horses of Xuanwu Town and Luoyang Xu Fu, and sent troops from Luoyang under the banner of crusading against Zhu Youyu, all the way to Tongguan.
At the same time, in the south, Xiang Xun suddenly exerted his strength, and took the entire Jiangxi Jiezhen in one fell swoop, and at the same time with the Guiguan Jing and Rong Guan Jing and the joint forces to enter Hunan, although they did not launch a large-scale attack because of the weather, but a large number of soldiers and horses have been endlessly divided into several ways to enter Hunan, and Hunan is facing pressure in three directions for a while. At the same time, Xiang Xun's ally, the Fujian Observer Envoy, exerted force in the direction of eastern Zhejiang.
And in Yangzhou, the Tang army, which has gained a firm foothold, has greatly increased its strength after receiving the support of Liu Ruyan, the general of the right Qianniuwei, and has also set its sights on eastern and western Zhejiang.
At this time, in the north, the main forces of the Tang Army transferred troops and began to assemble. The main force of the Right Jin Wuwei commanded by Tian Ping, stationed in Weizhou, was intensively mobilizing troops and horses in the direction of Dong'e, and the troops were directed at Yunzhou, the core of the Tianping Army.
Unlike other places, under Li Ze's careful governance over the years, the strength of the northern lands is far beyond the strength of a small Tianpingjie town.
Even Tian Ping felt that this battle should not be too easy.
For him, he had never felt able to command a war so easily.
He only needs to do what a military commander should do well, and as for the rest, there are naturally other officials in charge.
Just as when he was now on a horse, escorted by his guards, there was not much snow on the road, and the horse's hooves stepped on it, but he could barely pass the horse's hooves.
Of course, it's not that the snow is small, it's that these roads are being cleaned.
Since Tian Ping surrendered to Li Ze and was appointed as the general of the Right Jin Wuwei and stationed in Weizhou, his power was naturally much smaller than that of his father's time, because he could only govern the army under his command, and even in the army, there were officers from other places who carried out a strong division of power over him, plus the supervision officials under the Supervision Yuan supervised his every word and deed.
These people do not have any restraint on him above military command, but they have a strong restraining effect on him in other matters.
At first, I was very unaccustomed to it, and I felt that it was too suffocating, but after all, man is a habitual animal, and as time goes by, when he sees the other eleven guards, he is all like this, and when he sees the power of the center getting stronger and stronger, Tian Ping will be at ease.
That's not bad, at least there will be no less glory and wealth, and you don't have to worry too much.
He didn't have to worry about local governance, because it was the magistrate's business.
He doesn't have to worry about the army's salary, because every month, the salary will be paid on time.
The only thing he has to worry about is the training of the army, how to keep the soldiers high in fighting spirit and maintain super combat effectiveness.
As a general from a military family, this is naturally not a problem. Now that the soldiers are well fed and warmly dressed, then they will practice as hard as they can. If you don't use up all the extra energy they have developed because they are fed and clothed, maybe they will be able to do something for you.
In the past few years, he has basically nothing to do except train his troops, and he didn't have his turn to play when he beat Zhang Zhongwu, Zhang Zhongwu succumbed down, and now he has a nominal king of the Northeast curled up in the east, this old boy may not know when he will rebel again, but looking at the development of this appearance, if he is wise, he will honestly dare not act rashly.
When he fought Tubo and Tocharo, he didn't catch it on the field, and he was watching the excitement on the side, and then watched a powerful Tubo being made by Li Zesheng into a civil war, and the people were not able to make a living, and now it has become the sales place of Datang ordnance, and now it has become the sales place of grain.
It seems that since Li Ze got stubborn, anyone who went against him didn't get a good end.
Now, finally, it's his turn to play.
As a main battle corps stationed in the land of Weibo, Tian Ping knew very well that once the Northern Expedition began, he would inevitably be the first to set foot on the battlefield, but unfortunately, this credit seemed to be shared with Liu Chenglin at present. However, Yunzhou is still his own, as for Liu Chenglin, he will take Tai'an first.
There won't be much suspense in this battle.
This is the conclusion that Tian Ping has come to after carefully comparing the forces of the two sides in recent years.
Let's take a look at the difference in strength between the two sides!
Weizhou and Yunzhou are adjacent to each other, and Dong'e, which he is going to this time, is close to Pingliang, which belongs to the balance, but the gap between the two economies is a world of difference. The prosperity of the people is also one heaven and one underground.
Dong'e is just a county, but the economic value created by this county is almost as good as a state.
On both sides of the road, there is a large military tent every mile, these military tents are not for the army to live, but because of this military transfer and temporary placement, as the residence of the government mobilized by the people, these people are tasked with clearing the snow on the road to ensure the smooth passage of the army and logistics materials. Of course, these people will also boil hot water from the cauldron and ginger tea, and provide it to the army to warm and relieve fatigue when the army passes by.
Such facilities stretch from Guixiang County, the capital of Weizhou, where they departed, to Dong'e County. It was completely undertaken by the local government led by the Wei Zhou Assassin Shi.
In Tian Ping's memory, such a thing was unimaginable in the past.
Under Li Ze's rule, the relationship between the military and the people was no longer incompatible or even antagonistic, but more inseparable like fish and water. The army protects the people, and the people support the army as best they can.
Tian Ping did not make such a request as the local government, but the local government consciously and voluntarily did it, which also required a lot of money, whether it was the wages of the people, or the charcoal, ginger, and pepper transported here.
"General, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm up!" A personal guard got off the horse and brought Tian Ping a bowl of ginger soup: "The leader of the Minzhuang here heard that it was you, so he specially added several spoonfuls of brown sugar to the fear!" ”
Tian Ping laughed, shook the snow on his body, and said: "This bowl of ginger soup is not cheap, I will invite Ke Shu'er to have a good meal of wine when I go back, and I have to thank him for these things for our right Jin Wuwei." ”
The head of Ke Ting'er that Tian Ping said was Ke Hao, an official from Wuwei Academy, much younger than Tian Ping, but extremely old and spicy, and in the early days of his arrival in Weizhou, there were no conflicts with Tian Ping. The temper and Tian Ping are absolutely incompatible, but if they don't get along, they can't get along, but on official business, they never pull Tian Ping's hind legs, as long as it is a legitimate need, he never shortens Tian Ping, and when it is time to ask Tian Ping, he can also pull down his face and endure his temperament.
"Ke Tingshi and we are also a family, this time we will work together with the right Xiaowei to attack the balance, if we fall behind and lose to the right Xiaowei, then his Ke Tingshi's face will not look good." This personal guard has been following Tian Ping for many years, and he doesn't have much restraint when he speaks, and said: "He naturally knows the importance of the matter, if his logistics supply is not in place, when the time comes, the general will go to smash his home, he will have to endure it, right?" ”
"How could you possibly lose to the right guard?" Tian Ping laughed: "Just looking at what Ke Ting'er did, compared with Liu Chenglin, we can launch an offensive at least ten days in advance, and when we take Yunzhou, we will help Liu Chenglin and be ashamed of this No. 1 general in the north." ”
"He, the No. 1 fierce general in the north, but the right Xiaowei himself boasted, not to mention our right Jin Wuwei, is the left and right Weiwei, that is also unconvinced. General, the first fierce general is fought, but it is not blown out, seeing that the southern expedition is about to begin, who are we afraid of coming? ”
"How dare you say it!" Tian Ping smiled slightly: "But remember, it's not Wei Bobing, we are the Right Jin Wuwei!" ”
The pro-soldier nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, General." ”
Tian Ping took the reins of the horse, and the war horse galloped forward lightly: "Let's go, we can arrive one day earlier, we can start one day earlier, I have waited too long for this day." The first fierce general in the Northland, hahaha, I can't say that I have to fight. ”
The horse team was like a dragon, rolling up the wind and snow, galloping all the way forward, and on both sides of the road, those people with hoes and bamboo brooms were loudly cheering for these passing troops.
