Chapter 752: Crusade
"Zhongping, in today's Goryeo, especially near Kaegyeong, there can be abnormal movements. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Although Li Zhongyi is very leisurely on weekdays, he also summons Zhou Daozhong from time to time, or talks earnestly or asks about the enemy.
The elite veterans of the Li family army led by Li Zhongyi are certainly brave and good at fighting, but after all, they are strong dragons from outside, and they cannot grasp the situation in Goryeo in a timely and effective manner, which requires the assistance of Zhou Daozhong, a semi-local snake.
At this moment, Zhou Daozhong can't understand the mystery anymore, that is a bastard who is stupider than a pig.
After these days of careful consideration, Zhou Daozhong has already understood that in order to deal with the changes in today's Goryeo Kingdom, Li Zhongyi has made sufficient preparations as early as five years ago.
It is no wonder that Li Zhongyi was safely among the top magnates of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the age of not being established, relying not only on his outrageous military strength.
Standing in front of Li Zhongyi, who is like a super monster, Zhou Dao Center feels extremely down-to-earth, as long as he follows all the way, the stronger the lord's power is, not only can he keep the Zhou family safe, but also help him open a door to wealth and prosperity.
The truth in this is unusually simple, and three-year-old children can understand it!
Since Li Zhongyi raised his noble hand and let go of Zhou Daozhong, Zhou Daozhong also had the confidence to regard himself as a confidant in front of him, and when he bowed to Li Zhongyi, he was no longer trembling before, which made Li Zhongyi somewhat annoyed.
"Back to Enxiang, since you sent someone to Kaijing to spread the rumors at the end of your order a month ago, the puppet king of Goryeo was definitely frightened, not only did he act frequently, but he also summoned a lot of strong men to help protect Kaijing. At present, according to the news from the eyes of the last general who stayed in Kaijing, the puppet king has gathered at least more than 200,000 troops. Zhou Daozhong held several pieces of paper full of information in his hand, and reported in detail the latest situation in Kaijing at a moderate pace.
Li Zhongyi nodded, and suddenly sighed: "From this point of view, we still need to wait a little longer before we set off." ā
Zhou Daozhong saw that Li Zhongyi was in a very good mood, so he was bold and joked: "With the strong combat power of our army, the last general is afraid that there are not many soldiers and horses under the pseudo-king." ā
Li Zhongyi laughed, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Daozhong, and asked Zhou Daozhong slowly: "Zhongping, aren't you afraid that the Goryeo puppet king has too many soldiers and horses, and the ants bite the elephant to death?" ā
"If you return to the grace phase, the last general has never seen what an elephant looks like." Zhou Daozhong noticed that Li Zhongyi was in a great mood, and he really hadn't seen an elephant, so he deliberately made fun of Li Zhongyi to make him happy.
The corners of Li Zhongyi's mouth curled higher, he was very satisfied with Zhou Daozhong's interest, and when he was still in a good mood, he explained: "Brother Zhongping, when you have free time, you should read more books, and you must know that Xiucai knows the world without going out." Since ancient times, this has been the reason to fight the world immediately, but there is no reason to sit in the world immediately, understand? ā
Zhou Daozhong was originally a smart person, and when he saw Li Zhongyi's words hidden, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, didn't the Taizu of this dynasty get the country from the horse?
"Lord, the little one must remember your teachings, and read more books when he is free, so that you can reward a temple secretary in the future, but the small one is not competent." Zhou Daozhong is indeed a well-behaved guy, Li Zhongyi hinted at mysteries, he can also keep up with the edge, and cooperate to play dumb riddles.
Li Zhongyi just smiled, then changed the topic, and introduced with great interest: "Zhongping doesn't know, as early as the ancient times earlier than the pre-Qin, there is already an elephant in Hebei today, the name is: the Yellow River elephant. It was only later that the climate in the north gradually became colder, and the elephants could not tolerate the cold, so they migrated all the way south. Nowadays, elephants can only be seen from time to time in the south of the pre-Qin hometown named Xiangjun. If you are interested, when we recover the homeland of Great Qin in the coming day, we will slowly raise and play with you. ā
The connotation revealed by Li Zhongyi's words was unusually rich, and Zhou Daozhong didn't have time to taste it carefully, but he hurriedly patted his ass in a roundabout way, "My lord, since it is such a rare thing, you can only give one head, so how can you do good things in pairs." ā
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile, this Zhou Zhongping probably had the heart to preserve his strength at first, and he didn't want to be cannon fodder for the imperial court, so he didn't lead the navy to land to quell the rebellion.
Because there was no imperial edict, Zhou Daozhong rashly led troops to quell the rebellion, but it was useless, and he was severely punished if he failed, which is understandable.
Now it seems that this Zhou Zhongping Zhou Ren brother has some potential to be a "courtier", and his sycophant kung fu far surpasses that of the princes in the Li family's army.
Zhou Daozhong got a glimpse of Li Zhongyi's thoughts, and his heart was also much more down-to-earth, he just did a good job of logistics work on weekdays, and he must serve the big backers.
The cold wind was better than a day, and the army rested on Ganghwa Island for a total of eighteen days, and there was no sign of marching troops.
Li Zhongyi likes to hold Caijiao on his lap every day, and while reading, he teases the beautiful concubine, but he is also happy.
This Caijiao returned to her hometown, and her homesickness became more and more intense, and it was inevitable that there would be some emotional fluctuations. But although she is very pure-minded, because she has been messing with Li Zhongyi for a long time, she can see the clues of good or bad mood from some of Li Zhongyi's small actions.
Li Zhongyi dislikes the woman in the back house to interfere in the political and military affairs outside, even if Caijiao is favored on weekdays, she doesn't dare to make a mistake at all, so she has to hide her mind and get tired of playing on Li Zhongyi.
However, who is Li Zhongyi, although Caijiao did not say it explicitly, she always looked out the window, repeatedly lost her mind, and it was clear that homesickness had flooded.
Li Zhongyi knew that the beauty had a mind, but he pretended not to know, and from time to time he brought Ye Xiaolan to play a small game of "*****".
Although this Caijiao has not been broken, she is nineteen years old at this time, and she has reached twenty years old, which is a good time for melons to be ripe and honey fat.
After Li Zhongyi's "education" for so many years, Caijiao has already thoroughly understood the personnel, but the membrane has not been pierced.
After a few days and waiting for the day to dawn, the officers and men of the three armies had eaten their supper to their heart's content, and then under the restraint of their respective officers, they lined up to the wharf to prepare to board the ship to cross the east.
Tens of thousands of troops boarded the ship and carried a large number of war horses, which was by no means an easy task that could be done in a short period of time.
On the entire wharf, flags were unfurled, the queue was rigorous, and the scene only heard the low military orders issued by the officers from time to time.
On the dock, the soldiers who boarded the ship pursed their lips one by one, clenched the steel guns in their hands hard, the dazzling cold light on the head of the guns, and the dazzling red tassels, gathered into a steel forest, showing the awe-inspiring and murderous aura of the Celestial Expeditionary King Shi everywhere. If outsiders see this scene in front of them, they are destined to have hair in their hearts and tendons in their calves.
"The first all obey the order, all have it, stand upright, take a break, and cross the column...... Embark on board with the officer. After receiving the order, one of the commanders walked quickly in front of his subordinates and issued a series of military orders in a short but powerful manner.
"Whoa!" Immediately following the sound of the crowd responding, the soldiers of the first capital put their legs together at the same time, "Smack!" The heels of the leather boots on their feet collided with each other with a terrifying crunch.
"Let's go." Nadu took the lead, leading his men, to the rhythmic sound of the snare drums, marching in unison in the direction of the ships designated by his superiors, and quickly marched past.
The military judges of the Judge Advocate General's Division, led their gendarmes, scattered throughout the docks, were keeping an eye on the marching troops.
In the Li family's army, whether it is a military judge or a military policeman, when they carry out their tasks, they all wear special white "military police" helmets. The difference is only that the military judges only wear steel knives on their waists, while the gendarmes hold red and black military sticks in their hands.
Downwind of the wharf, busy Khitan slaves, pulling or dragging loudly, shouted at their respective war horses, drove these animals over the gangplank and sent them to the ship.
Li Zhongyi was wearing a special cashmere jacket, covered with soft armor and a handsome robe outside, sitting on the back of the "blood kill", he looked at the busy figures of his old subordinates, and was silent for a long time.
Zhou Daozhong suddenly sighed: "With such a strong team, why worry about the Huns not breaking?" ā
Song Yunxiang glanced at Zhou Daozhong quietly, he really didn't know, he was startled, this prince's sycophant kung fu was indeed the three armies of the brave champion.
Zuo Ziguang kept his eyes down, his eyes staring directly at the ground, and he was always silent, and no one else could see his demeanor. But he knew in his heart that his mentor and his old man were habitually distracted again.
Liu Heyang looked up at the scene from time to time, he had been thinking about one thing in his heart, after this battle, could he get enough logistics to feed 100,000 elites?
Ma Guangda didn't have as much careful thinking as Liu Heyang, he couldn't get along in the forbidden army of the imperial court that day, so he was transferred to the Broken Army.
Without Li Zhongyi's trust and promotion, how could he have the prestige and authority of Ma Guangda, the chief general of the army today?
Ma Guangda saw that Liu Heyang hadn't looked at it, he rolled his eyes, simply patted the horse in front of Li Zhongyi, and said with a smile: "Xiangshuai, there will be a reluctant request in the end, I hope you will allow it." ā
Ma Guangda, who was dead-faced, woke Li Zhongyi up from his memories, Li Zhongyi glared at Ma Guangda angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "If there is a fart, let it go." ā
Although Ma Guangda passed the cultural examination in the lecture hall and got rid of the ignorance of illiteracy a long time ago, he just ate the vulgar set.
I saw that Ma Guangda said with a dazzled smile: "The last general pondered, after this battle, there must be a lot of ownerless fertile land, if you give a hundred or thousands of hectares of good paddy fields to the last general, you can also subsidize some household use." ā
After Li Zhongyi heard this, his heart moved violently, after he mastered the great politics in the future, he was bound to reward all the meritorious ministers.
However, it is not easy to live in Beijing, not only the mansions in good locations are outrageously expensive, but most of the fertile land in the suburbs has been carved up by Wenchen and meritorious groups.
Zuo Ziguang flashed his eyes and looked at Ma Guangda interestingly, he thought this strategy was very good, but there was only one question: Is this secretly instructed by Li Zhongyi, or is Ma Guangda intentional?
He Dabei didn't care about mundane things like Liangtian, he just felt that the war was about to start, but the atmosphere at this time was a little too relaxed, and it was necessary to remind the lord to pay attention in private when he saw the vacancy.
