Chapter 129: Pre-Battle Preparations

"Childe, Cheng Hu has come back and is placing soldiers outside the city." When Tang Zheng and Zhao Yunleng Qianqiu were discussing further plans, Zhang Chao came in and said to Tang Zheng.

"Well, let him come here and see me as soon as he makes arrangements." Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao.

"Yes, Childe. I'll go! After speaking, Zhang Chao turned around and left.

"Now that Cheng Hu has returned, what do you think when he arrives and we will discuss sending troops?" Tang Zheng asked the two.

The two nodded, and it didn't take long for Cheng Hu to go to the city hall under the leadership of Zhang Chao, Cheng Hu knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said to Tang Zheng: "Subordinate Cheng Hu to meet the prince!" ”

"Okay, the eldest brother is not here, it's all my own brother who doesn't need so much courtesy." Tang Zheng helped Cheng Hu up and said. Cheng Hu scratched his head and said with a smile: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, just because we are the brothers of the prince, we must lead by example." ”

Tang Zheng shook his head and didn't speak, it seems that Cheng Hu was also harmed by Cheng Pu. "I guess you already know why I transferred you back."

"Childe, Zhang Chao has already told me roughly on the way here. Childe, are we really going to send troops to Liaoxi? Cheng Hu asked.

"Why not?"

"No, the brothers have been looking forward to killing the enemy for a long time, and now they finally have a chance, how can they not be willing."

"Why are you all looking forward to war so much? Now you are looking forward to war, and in the future you will be tired of fighting every day. ”

"Childe, although I experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, it was not quickly pacified and suppressed. Although Wuhuan has been harassing our border in recent years, on the whole, the Han is quite stable, how can there be battles every day. ”

"What you see now is only a superficial calm, and a bigger storm is yet to come. So I asked you to strengthen training in order to deal with the greater turmoil in the future, and now there is not much time left for us, and after taking the four counties in western Liaoning this time, we must strengthen the training of soldiers and soldiers, and at the same time recruit troops again to expand the team. ”

"Childe, what do you keep talking about the greater turmoil? Every time I ask you, you don't say it. ”

"You must also know what the current court is like! Corrupt officials and corrupt officials emerge in endlessly, and the people are not living well, and now the world is like a pile of firewood in a June day, as long as there is a little spark, it can form a source of fire. ”

"Childe, it's not as serious as you say! Although it is true that natural and man-made disasters have continued in the past few years, hasn't it been the same before? ”

"Because it has been like this for all years, the people have been overwhelmed. Now the people of the world have complained about the imperial court, local uprisings in various places have emerged in endlessly, coupled with the continuous natural disasters in the past few years, the saints do not think about the suffering of the people, only want to enjoy themselves, and the national strength is gradually declining. ”

"Childe, isn't there still a prince in the court? Besides, even if there is a peasant uprising, isn't there still a large army to defend it? ”

"I'm afraid that these leading generals will not be willing to be lonely, and when the time comes, they will take advantage of the fire to rob, and it will be the people of the world who will suffer."

"Childe don't worry too much, our Youbeiping is now thriving and developing in a good direction, I believe that Youbeiping will definitely get better and better under the leadership of Gongzi."

"That being said, if it really comes to the world, the chaos of the people will come to the right and Beiping, what do you think we should do? To save or not to save? ”

"So Childe's plan is to take the four counties of western Liaoning first, and then rely on the four counties of Youbeiping to establish a stable rear?"

Tang Zheng nodded and said: "Only when we have enough space and territory can we establish a stable rear, so that even in the face of future turmoil, we can have a certain amount of self-protection, so that we will not be affected by the war." ”

"Well, I know Childe."

"Alright, now let's talk about how to send troops this time."

"We are all subject to the arrangement of the prince (Fujun)." The three of them said to Tang Zheng.

"In this way, tomorrow morning, Han will first go to Lingzhi with Captain Leng. After Han Dang took over the Lingzhi, he must pacify the people in the city, and when everything is settled, you will lead your troops and Captain Leng to enter Haiyang. Cheng Hu, you led the troops to escort the grain and grass to Linyu first, and Zilong and I arrived later. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." The three people who were named by Tang Zheng should admit it, and then turned around and went out to arrange the expedition.

"Zilong, you go to the weapon workshop first to bring the weapon back, I have already agreed with Master Ou."

"Fu Jun, don't we already have a bow and crossbow, why do we still need weapons?"

"Bows and crossbows are only suitable for long-range attacks, if you are close, what will your cavalry use to kill the enemy? Do you just want to rely on your own hands? ”

"Yes, then the subordinate will do it." After speaking, Zhao Yun saluted Tang Zheng and turned around and went out, leaving Tang Zheng alone in the entire conference room. Looking at the departing Zhao Yun and Tang Zheng were a little entangled, he really didn't want to let Zhao Yun's cavalry out now. After all, this cavalry has been established for a short time and cannot meet Tang Zheng's requirements. But as Zhao Yun said, a soldier who has not experienced the baptism of the battlefield cannot become a soldier, and such an army cannot become a strong army. Even if Tang Zheng was reluctant, he had to let this cavalry out to experience the baptism of war.

Tang Zheng walked out of the city hall and walked home, and before he knew it, he arrived at the door of the house, and as soon as Tang Zheng walked into the door, Cai Yan saw that Tang Zheng's state today was a little wrong, and he seemed absent-minded.

"Husband, did you encounter anything unpleasant today?" Cai Yan said to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who was awakened by Cai Yan, found that he had returned home unconsciously, Tang Zheng shook his head gently and said to Cai Yan: "No, I am a little distracted when I think of some other things." ”

"Oh, that husband should pay attention to his body. By the way, why did the husband come back alone today? Why didn't Brother Dian accompany his husband? ”

"There's one thing, I let Brother Dian go to Xu Wu." Tang Zheng said.

"Then you should let Zhang Chao accompany you!"

"Zhang Chao also has something, so I didn't let him accompany me back. Besides, this is in Rinsan, and I believe that no one will be unfavorable to me, so you can rest assured that my safety is mine, and I know. Tang Zheng held Cai Yan's hand and said.

"By the way, Yan'er, I'm going to go on the expedition in two days, and everything at home will be left to you."

"Ah, the husband is going to go on an expedition? But isn't the husband too guarded? Why do you want to lead troops on the march? ”

"This time the stakes are very high, and it is related to the future development trend of the entire Youbeiping, so this time I plan to personally lead the troops to go."

"That husband should take care of himself, please rest assured that there is my husband at home. By the way, husband, when will you leave? ”

"The day after tomorrow, tomorrow Huzi and they will lead the army to take the grain and grass first, and then set off with Zilong after I finish dealing with the affairs of Rinshan. By the way, don't tell my mother about my expedition, I'm afraid she will worry, and if my mother asks about me, you will say that I went out to patrol. ”

"Yes, good husband. I know what to do. ”
