At this time, Luoyang was already in the weather, and three years after Duan Mingyu left Beijing, the new capital of the Tang Dynasty had begun to see scale. But behind the prosperity is the white bones, Duan Mingyu left behind the 150,000 Shence army has withered away, the imperial court in order to pacify Shuzhong, by Wei Zhaodu in command, after a year-long war, the main force of the Shence army has withered. To say that Duan Mingyu invented mortars and crossbows, he should not have paid such a heavy price, but things happened, because of the aging of ordnance, Duan Mingyu did not invent stainless steel, so these advanced weapons have been sent for maintenance, but the large amount of money allocated by Li Ye has been eaten clean by the officials of the court layer by layer, so these weapons can only be used as scrap iron, waiting for mold.

The remaining weapons and equipment that can be used on the battlefield are less than thirty percent, and the generals who command the army do not know how to fully apply them, and the tactical command is improper, which was seriously injured by the coalition army of Chen Jingxuan and Wang Jian, although the victory was finally achieved, but it was also a big injury to the vitality, this situation, whether it is Zhu Wen Jianguo Liang, or Yelu Abaoji Jianguo Khitan, Datang should rest and recuperate, and the place where the party raises horses on the Hetao is still in the hands of Datang, the situation is not very bad, but soon, the main station faction in the court has gained the upper hand.

In the sixth year of the Dragon Chronicle, Li Ye of Tang Zhaozong worshiped the prime minister Zhang Jun as the commander, raised an army of 200,000 troops across the country, and swore to the Northern Expedition, the goal was the Liang State established by Zhu Wen, and if the fight was smooth, he could also fight a dozen Khitan in the Yunnei Prefectures.

The main generals of the court are Wei Zhaodu, Wang Yanzhang, Shang Rang, Ge Congzhou, Xu Wen, these are the generals of the Shence Army in Luoyang, and the commander is the Shence Army, these generals, except for Wei Zhaodu, the rest are Duan Mingyu's old department, it can be seen that Duan Mingyu has retired from the court for nearly four years, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty is still playing a big role. In addition to the 70,000 Shence Army, many people from all over the country came to participate in the Northern Expedition. Qizhou Jiedu envoy Li Maozhen (formerly known as Song Wentong, later given the name Li Maozhen by Tang Xizong, guarding Qizhou), personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses, Songzhou Jiedu made Fang Wenchong personally lead 40,000 soldiers and horses, Chenzhou Jiedu made Luo Hou personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, these local armies are very strong in combat effectiveness, and were selected to participate in the Northern Expedition.

Generally speaking, the frontier base of the Northern Expedition is the city of Weizhou, the army starts from Luoyang, passes through Bianliang, and then arrives in Weizhou, and then you can attack Zhenzhou, the important town of Liang, the war machine of the imperial court keeps running, after the 200,000 army arrives, the marshal Zhang Jun sent a crusade to the emperor of Liang, Zhu Wen, and ordered the Hedong Jiedu envoy, the king of Jin Li Cunqiao sent troops, from Jinyang to send troops to attack Zhenzhou, after Li Cunqiao received the order, the 60,000 troops in Hedong went to the front, Li Cunxiao, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao and all the famous generals followed, leaving a veteran Zhou Dewei to guard the east of the river.

Wei Zhaodu, as the confidant of Zhang Jun, the commander of the Northern Expedition, and his subordinates can enter Weizhou City in advance.

And Zhang Jun, under the emperor's edict, will set up a line for ten miles to welcome him into Weizhou Prefecture!

This is a great face, and it is also a rare honor. On the other hand, it can also express the emperor's holy affection for him. Zhang Jun's current title is considered to be rewarded by Emperor Li Ye, Zhang Jun wants to give such a lot of strength to the imperial court, and the imperial court will inevitably repay him. In addition to these faces, power must also be given enough, and the emperor must also express it in private.

Wei Zhaodu, as Zhang Jun's henchman, is naturally not bad for some privileges, not to mention that he thinks that he has a great contribution to Pingshu, which is a real material, although he enjoys this feeling very much, but what he wants more is to let Zhang Jun fully cooperate with him in the Northern Expedition and achieve the final great achievement!

In what kind of situation do people have, what kind of expectations do they have for the legendary battle in Shuzhong, so that Wei Zhaodu has become a prominent figure in the world, but ordinary people can't see how reluctant he is to win, but the people of Luoyang only care about the result, whether you win or win, if you lose, you are a bear, if you win, you are a hero, when Wei Zhaodu led the Northern Expedition again, at this moment, only ambitious.

Maybe I can go further, a man's husband, and I want to live my life without burden!

But at this moment, he just wants to enjoy his own glory.

In the north of Weizhou City, Wang Yanzhang and Xu Wen, as well as Ge Congzhou and Shang Rang, really discharged ten miles to the north!

Countless warriors lined up to greet each other, and everyone stood up straight, just looking north. And Zhang Jun also personally went out of the north of Weizhou, and in the official pavilion, led the marshal's officials, and Luo Hou, who had arrived in Weizhou, to personally wait to greet Wei Zhaodu.

In the eyes of countless people, they saw several healthy horses galloping in the distance. Wang Yanzhang sighed, Wei Zhaodu's war horse is still Duan Mingyu's captured from the Khitan Beidi Xiongjun, it is really the predecessors who planted trees, and the descendants who took advantage of the shade. The war horse flew like a gallop on the road to Xiongzhou, and a soldier was the first to carry the flag. It's a big Wei character on it!

Countless Tang Army soldiers were silent. Suddenly there was an earth-shattering cheer!

In order to weaken Duan Mingyu's influence on the army, Emperor Li Ye hyped Wei Zhaodu's great achievements in Pingshu, so Wei Zhaodu's reputation in the army has already caught up with Duan Mingyu, and the originally neat queue has moved, and the people standing behind are desperately tiptoeing to see who this Wei Zhaodu is. Half furnishing, half from the heart. I don't know where to start, a group of Tang troops have begun to neatly tap the ground with Changge in their hands, and shouted loudly: "General Wei, General Wei!" ”

The roar came from near and far, but it only buzzed in the four fields of Weizhou, and it also spread to Zhang Jun and the others who were waiting in the official pavilion.

Zhang Jun looked around left and right, just smiling. His staff is an old official, so naturally there is nothing unusual at this time. Wang Yanzhang was also very calm, but Ge Congzhou just muttered to himself: "A battle in Shuzhong stinks of shit, but it is still praised high, I am aggrieved when I think about it, and I hate to live in seclusion with Duan Wangye!" ”

Shang Rang was just silent, he was a few powerful generals in the Shence army, and he led the army straight to Yelu Abaoji's handsome banner, and the fierceness of death was no less than that of Ge Congzhou, who was rì. These generals are all capable, and Zhang Jun has also thrown olive branches to them many times, but in the end they still chose not to follow the flames, and Zhang Jun and Wei Zhaodu naturally separated.
