Chapter 49: Sending Troops
Erzhu Tianguang woke up, and the first thing he did was to open his mouth and shout: "All the battalions and schools will return to their own camps, and they will raise their accounts tomorrow morning to discuss the matter, and they will set out on the same day!" "Erzhu Rongwei is too heavy, at this moment, Erzhu Tianguang really doesn't dare to delay any longer.
When the crowd left, the attendants also repulsed, and there was one Erzhu Tianguang in the hall, trembling, holding the bloody long whip, sad and inexplicable: "I am also surnamed Erzhu... Pillars! You treat me too thinly! ”
。。。。。。
Early the next morning, the Chang'an Military Mansion, the festival hall was full of people, the Western Expeditionary Army was up and down, and the civil and military battalions gathered.
The most eye-catching thing in the crowd was not the Dadu Governor Zhu Tianguang with whip marks on his head and face, but the Zuodu Governor He Bayue, who had been on a hunger strike for five days and was lying on a stretcher and asked someone to carry him.
Yesterday, the brothers hurried back, and Erzhu Tianguang had eaten a hundred lashes, and had to order the good news of the westward expedition to be told to He Bayue. He Bayue was dying of breath, but after hearing this, he turned over and sat up, although he was dizzy again, and finally his spirits were greatly lifted.
Yu Wentai immediately called someone to bring food, and naturally he didn't dare to eat the greasy thing immediately, so he used some light rice porridge and millet cake to make up for it. Early the next morning, He Bayue woke up early, but he was on a hunger strike for too long, and his hands and feet were weak, so he couldn't get out of the bed.
Even so, no matter how hard the brothers persuaded him, He Batyue just didn't listen, pulled down his face, and was going to go to that festival, and said: "How can I be without him in this expedition to the west?" The brothers had no choice but to take a stretcher and carry He Bayue with him.
No matter who was in the festival hall, when they saw He Batyue like this, they were all moved, and they all said: "He Batto's heart of loyalty to the country is so impressive!" ”
At the head of the festival, Erzhu Tianguang saw it in his eyes, and he felt unhappy, and when he turned around, he pulled the whip wound on his body, and it hurt for a while. He suddenly remembered the shame of yesterday, and his subordinate He Bayue kept saying that he was going to send troops, and now he was admired by everyone, in contrast, his heart was even more depressed, and he didn't even feel dark.
Let's talk about the situation first.
He Bayue concurrently served as the chief of the army, and at this time he actually stood up, and after a discussion, it was clear. Now in Chang'an City, regardless of the auxiliary soldiers and people, there are nearly 20,000 capable soldiers, including 2,000 Wuchuan troops, 3,000 Jinyang soldiers from Erzhu Tianguang's headquarters, and more than 6,000 people newly recruited and selected by He Bayue, plus the original garrison of Chang'an is about 8,000.
Let's talk about the logistics.
Yuwentai also serves as the main book, and is currently out of the actual performance, where ordnance, grain and grass, baggage, and weapons... One by one, all of them are the way. Just listening to the numbers, we know that everything is ready, and we can send troops at any time.
Both speeches were concise and to the point, and they were self-evident because they were hands-on on weekdays. From this point of view, it can also be seen that today's Chang'an Western Expeditionary Army has such a good situation, which is almost the work of He Bayue and the Wuchuan brothers.
The applause in the hall continued, and the admiration in everyone's eyes could be clearly seen. That is, the eldest grandson Xili, who belongs to Erzhu Tianguang's confidant, has nothing to do with Wuchuan, and he nodded again and again at this moment. On the contrary, Hou Mo Chen Yue's expression was complicated, and his heart was mixed: He Bayue, Yu Wentai... Why are you always the two of you who are in the limelight?
At the head of the festival, Erzhu Tianguang nodded frequently, seemingly very satisfied, but in fact, a fire in his heart was really burning more and more, and he was unbearable.
So the next moment, Zhu Tianguang, the governor of the Western Expeditionary Army, shouted: "Okay! Without further ado, troops will be sent in three days! The first sentence of this first sentence was not unusual, but then, only the second sentence, shocked everyone: "As everyone knows, I was whipped by the angels of Luoyang one hundred times, covered with injuries, and unable to ride a horse." For today's plan, I can only choose a general in the army to go out for me. ”
After all, this is above the festival, and the big guy didn't dare to laugh out loud when he couldn't bear it, but he scolded in his heart: I said Erzhu Dadudu, look at your voice, full of energy, where does it look like "powerless"? Who in the hall has not come from a hundred battles on the battlefield, how can this skin injury be enough?
Slander is slander, but it is not to be indignant--- since the Gaixi expeditionary army entered the customs, whether it is Chishui breaking Shu Fang, or the thieves around Chang'an, including the subsequent addition of men and horses, army training, and logistics, all of them are presided over by He Bayue, and Zhu Tianguang, the governor of the head, has nothing to do with it.
Except for the 3,000 men and horses of Kaierzhu Tianguang's headquarters, the rest of the people, including the former Chang'an garrison, regarded He Bayue as a real talker. Now that Erzhu Tianguang can't fight, isn't it just right to follow Governor Hebatdu?
Thinking like this, he waited for Erzhu Tianguang's third sentence, and the eyes of the big guy fell to the ground: "In this case, let the eldest grandson Xili be the forward governor, lead the army all the way west, take the land of Qizhou first, and wait for the opportunity to fight against the Wan Qi rebels!" ”
In the hearts of everyone, this person who replaced Erzhu Tianguang in the battle should be He Batyue, not a second person. Even the eldest grandson Xili himself, his eyes widened at this time, he couldn't believe his own ears, and he refused to respond.
Without waiting for others to speak, He Bayue suddenly exerted his strength, and actually jumped off the stretcher, thanks to Yuwentai and Wang Xiong's quick eyes, one left and one right to hold on, so as not to fall.
"The Grand Duke! He Bayue is willing to be the front and break the enemy for the Western Expeditionary Army! He Batyue used all his strength and yelled. There is no need to find any reason, as soon as he says this, who will refute it?
Although He Batyue was weak, this roar was really loud. It's a pity that Erzhu Tianguang, who was sitting at the head of the festival hall, was unmoved, and replied in an extremely soft voice: "Heba Dudu is sick, how can I bear to send you on the expedition?" It's better to stay in Chang'an, so that you can live and recuperate. ”
"The Grand Duke! I'm fine! He Bayue's voice was hurried, and he was already anxious.
Erzhu Tianguang didn't hear it, turned his head, raised his voice, and said coldly: "Where is the evil profit of the eldest grandson?" Did you hear the military order? ”
"Whoa! Subordinates obey orders! ”
