"It's not that the king is unkind, and he doesn't give everyone a good rest at home during the New Year, but the military situation is urgent, maybe everyone has more or less guessed one or two on the way here. However, this time the situation is different, it is not where to cook, nor is it any way to open the eyes of the forces, on the contrary, we took the initiative this time! "The time has passed since the three-day ultimatum to Wang Shichong, but there is still no news, I originally wanted Wang Shichong to jump for a few more days, since he himself doesn't want to live a little longer, then Yang Yun doesn't mind incorporating Luoyang into his rule earlier.

As soon as they heard Yang Jun's words, everyone felt a little incredible, Yang Jun always had to find a reason before sending troops, but now he took the initiative to attack, couldn't he help it? There was speculation in the hearts of the people, but they did not know where to attack.

"Don't guess, what we're going to attack this time is the eastern capital Luoyang!" Yang Jian gave them a thunderbolt on a sunny day, although Qingzhou is now strong, but it is still a little difficult to attack Luoyang.

"Lord Wang, can you wait until after the spring ploughing before sending troops?" Fang Xuanling asked, the war needs to be backed up, and this backing is the economy, which can also be said to be logistics, don't look at the current prosperity of Qingzhou, but that is only the surface, if you want to talk about the heritage, you still can't catch up with Luoyang, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, maybe this fight will consume a year's accumulation.

"It's not that this king doesn't want to, it's just that what he says must be practiced, otherwise others will think that this king is just scaring people!"

"You should still remember that when the king and the princess returned from Daxing, they were attacked by the Luoyang territory, when the tiger captured the tiger in order to cover the king, led people to block Wang Shichong's men and horses, I thought he had died in battle, but the king just learned the news that he was still alive, and was imprisoned by Wang Shichong, his life was hanging by a thread, and the king must not leave him alone!" Yang Jun explained to everyone the reason for sending troops, but concealed Wang Shichong's plans.

"His grandfather's grandmother's grandfather, Wang Shichong, the turtle son, the prince gave me Lao Cheng a team, and he will definitely rescue Lao Han!" Cheng Yanjin was the first to jump out, not only because he had a good relationship with Han Baohu, but because he also had a hobby of fighting. (I feel that Zhang Weijian's version of Cheng Biting Jin is the most elegant, use it, and suddenly realize that it is really good to have Cheng Biting Jin, and if you want to scold people, look for him, no wonder so many books written about the end of the Sui always like to pull Cheng Biting Jin into their camp.) ）

"Luoyang is different from Jiangdu, and Wang Shichong is not Yu Wenhua, so he needs to be prepared." Even Yang Xuangan's hundreds of thousands of troops are not so easy to fight.

"But you can send a vanguard force over first......"

"I'll go!" Before Yang Yan finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin immediately spoke, afraid that others would take the lead.

"Okay, since Zhijie is so active, then let you go first with General Zhang and take Luokoucang back for me!" Yang Jun looked at Zhang Xutuo, since it is a vanguard force, then it must be a mobile force, so the cavalry is a good choice, now the Qingzhou cavalry in addition to Zhang Xutuo's headquarters of 20,000 horses, there is also a force of 50,000 people, but there is a lack of suitable generals, Su Dingfang still needs to be trained, so Yang Jun sent him and Yang Yichen to the north to monitor the movement of the Turks.

"Yes!" Cheng Biting Jin and Zhang Xutuo received the order, and Cheng Biting Jin was happy.

"You two will each lead 20,000 cavalry, bring enough dry food for five days, and set off immediately tomorrow, and the king will lead the army to arrive later!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Xutuo led 40,000 cavalry to attack Luoyang, and the first stop was Luokoucang!

In the following days, the war machine in Licheng and even the entire Qingzhou was in full swing to make logistical preparations for Yang Jin's attack on Luoyang. Yang Xuan planned to attack Luoyang with half of his troops, that is, 200,000 troops. If the rest of the forces used 200,000 troops to attack Luoyang, they would definitely be laughed at, but Yang Jin's 200,000 troops could not be used as an ordinary 200,000 people. If all forces are used, the logistics may not be able to bear it, and it will be necessary to leave men and horses in case of contingencies.

Three days, it took three full days to prepare everything, all the grain and grass were allocated, because there was the vanguard in front, so Yang Jian did not plan to use the grain soldiers, the grain and grass were directly transported with the large army, so as to save the consumption on the way, because Yang Jian only prepared two months of grain and grass for the 200,000 army, that is to say, the battle must be resolved within two months, which is a bit tight.

During these three days, the Weapons Research Institute and the Gunpowder Research Institute were operating at full capacity, and a large number of previously stored equipment and firearms were emptied just to deal with a Luoyang.

"Not long after I came back, I have to go out to fight again, pay more attention outside, don't charge ahead, my child and I are waiting for you to come back at home, when the world will be reunited, then there is no need to separate again." Yin Mingyue snuggled in Yang Jun's arms and said softly after putting on Yang Jun's clothes and armor, after being pregnant, he preferred to rely on Yang Jun, and was more afraid of parting, just like today, if she usually thought so in her heart, she would not say it.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and there are 200,000 troops here, don't worry about safety, you're fine at home, Xiaozhi and they should also arrive, and then the queen mother and mother-in-law will take care of you, then I can leave with peace of mind." Yang Jun gently kissed Yin Mingyue's forehead and said affectionately. He didn't want to part, especially at this time when Yin Mingyue was pregnant.

"When the world is peaceful in the future, I will take you around and travel through this great river and mountain!" Yang Xuan promised Yin Mingyue.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back!"

After bidding farewell to Gentle Township, Yang Jian said goodbye to Empress Xiao and rushed to the barracks.

"Rong Rong is about to give birth, so Shubao will stay in Licheng and accompany him a lot, and by the way, he is optimistic about Licheng and Qingzhou." Yang Jun was the first to let Qin Shubao stay in Licheng, and there were still battles, but if he missed the birth of his child, he would leave a lot of regrets, especially the first child.

"Yes!" Although there were some regrets, Qin Shubao knew that Yang Yun was thinking about him, so he didn't force it.

"Jiande is also staying in Licheng, and the soldiers and horses brought back from Jiangdu last time still need you to train." Although Yang Jian has 500,000 horses in his hands, the current ones that can be fought are only the previous ten or two hundred thousand, and the rest have not been rectified and are temporarily useless.

"Subordinates obey." For Dou Jiande, the big battle is not what he loves, but he is happy to communicate with the soldiers.

"General Xue will help take care of the army, if Shubao and Jiande have done anything bad, just point out." Yang Jun arched his hand to Xue Shixiong and said, Xue Shixiong is already the age of the sixtieth year, but his body is still quite tough, so he still helps with military affairs and training soldiers in the army, and the most important thing is that Yang Jun let him enter the army so that he can pass on his decades of experience in leading troops to these generals of the Young Zhuang faction.

"The prince is serious, this old minister's business." Xue Shixiong hurriedly stopped Yang Jun's move, but he was very excited in his heart, it was enough to get Yang Jun's move, which was enough to show that he didn't vote for the wrong person.

"The rest of the generals obey the order!" Yang Jun glanced at everyone present and said in a serious and unquestionable tone.

"The last general!"

"Feng Li Jing is the commander of the former army, Pei Renji is the deputy commander, and the generals Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan, and Wang Junke are the generals under the account, and the 100,000 troops are drawn first. Du Ruhui, Luo Shixin, Yang Fan, Jin Yu, and Xu Qing led 100,000 troops with this king as the Chinese army, and escorted grain and grass to the rear. "Yang Jun divided the army into two to facilitate management. If it weren't for the fact that there were not enough capable commanders, otherwise he still wanted to get a left and right middle and rear army out, and the fewer people there were, the more conducive it would be to carry out orders. And this time Du Ruhui was also brought along, after all, it would be impossible to say that Sima of the Prince's Mansion would not go out with the army once, and there were too many grains, grasses and equipment brought this time, and someone also needed to deploy them, and Du Ruhui was the most suitable, at least efficiency was not a problem with him.

"Yes!" Everyone knows that this time it is a dump, after all, neither the number of the army nor the number of generals has such a lineup before, this can be regarded as an unprecedented lineup of the Licheng army.

"If the king of spring ploughing can't come back in two months, then Xuanqiao will be in charge!" Although the plan is to end the war in two months, it is just that once the war starts, it cannot be controlled by him, after all, there are too many variables.

"Please rest assured! Ling must take care of Qingzhou's affairs. "It's not the first time that Fang Xuanling has dealt with Qingzhou's affairs alone, Yang Yun is often absent from Licheng, and the rest of the things are handled by him and Du Ruhui, and Du Ruhui mainly deals with military affairs, so he handles many things by himself.

"This time, not only Qingzhou, but also the Jianghuai region and the Jiangnan region should also worry more about you." Yang Xuanling's current territory is several times larger, and he is afraid that Fang Xuanling will not be able to handle it alone, but fortunately, there is still Pei Ju in Jiangdu, and they share a lot of affairs in Jiangnan and Jianghuai, otherwise Fang Xuanling will have to die of exhaustion even if he is powerful.

After killing pigs and sheep in front of the Heroes Monument, Yang Jun ordered the army to march to Luoyang, and the war was about to break out!
