Chapter 749: Crossing the Sea and Heading East
Seeing that Li Zhongyi nodded, Yelu Bottle threw away the knife in his hand, turned around and walked towards the inner room, and Li Zhongyi followed in under Li Yunxiao's strict protection. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The servants in the courtyard were all driven away, and they didn't know what Li Zhongyi and Yelu were talking about, only that the Khitan princess finally stayed in Yuguan.
In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, on the newly built wharf ten miles east of Yuguan, the officers and men waited in a neat line to board the ship under the restraint of their respective officers.
Li Zhongyi rode on the back of the "blood killing", pointed to the southeast with a whip, and said with a smile: "The small state of Haidong dares to claim three thousand miles of splendid rivers and mountains, which is really ridiculous and absurd!" ”
"Congratulations, my lord, God intends to help us and others, and the ocean is not frozen." He Dabei, the deputy commander of the Senate Department and the inspection school, smiled coldly, and he raised his hand to draw a circle, "Grab ...... No...... Take the ...... Hmph, it's all ours. ”
Song Yunxiang, who accompanied him, showed a knowing smile and said softly: "It is enough to raise 100,000 elite soldiers with the power of one country, and congratulations to the lord for a great event!" ”
Li Zhongyi squinted at Song Yunxiang, this guy has something to say, and the voiceover is unusually distinct, obviously because of Li Jiajun's strong growth.
Since ancient times, there is nothing more than standing and escorting!
Li Zhongyi can actually understand the thoughts of his old subordinates who hope that the tide will rise, but if the planning is not thorough, causing the entire Central Plains to become the source of war and chaos, it will be extremely worth the loss!
Objectively speaking, Zhao Lao Er took advantage of the gap in the Chenqiao Mutiny to easily occupy Kaifeng City, which can be regarded as retaining the vitality of the rich Central Plains to the greatest extent.
Today's situation is extremely delicate, Zhao Kuangyin led 80,000 forbidden troops, repelled the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces, and has successfully returned to Kaifeng in the south.
Han Tong, who returned to Kaifeng almost at the same time, held the military power of the pro-military division of the guard, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
The combined strength of Han and Zhao is more than 200,000 people, which must not be underestimated!
Although Li Zhongyi currently has no less than 100,000 people, Guo Huai's 30,000 Lingzhou army is far away in the northwest, and far water cannot quench his thirst.
The 20,000 sailors and horses in Zhou Dao have a strength in land warfare that is not optimistic, and at most they play the role of mobile transportation or defending the city.
The 50,000 elites led by Li Zhongyi himself, and Yang Lie's 20,000 officers and soldiers were pinned down by the Khitans in Yuguan.
Of course, Li Zhongyi was not completely at a disadvantage, and the rapid deployment of troops from the sea back to Kaifeng, the maneuverability of the naval division was crucial.
At the same time, the more than 10,000 well-trained cavalry under Li Yong, if used properly, can completely play a wonderful role in turning the tide.
Whether it is Zhao Kuangyin or Han Tong, the cavalry strength they have at hand is almost not worth mentioning.
As for the two allies of the Fuzhou Zhejia and the Linzhou Yang family, because they are too far away from the heartland of Kaifeng, as long as they can play a certain role in partiality at that time, they will be considered to have completed their merits!
Iron striking must be its own, and it is better to rely on no one than on yourself, which has always been Li Zhongyi's code of conduct.
Li Zhongyi and the henchmen around him talked and laughed leisurely, and the atmosphere around them was also very relaxed, even Song Yunxiang, who had always been unsmiling, had the leisure to joke.
Since the establishment of the Senate Department and its sub-divisions, the commanders-in-chief of the various armies have been freed from the tedious daily military affairs, and they can concentrate on thinking about the various operational matters of arranging the troops.
When the war is not going on, the commanders of the various armies do not need to bother and do everything themselves. Previously, the logistics supply and contingency plans were all formulated and arranged by the Senate Department, and everything was taken care of, and the responsibilities were clearly assigned to the people.
Therefore, everyone didn't have much to worry about, and they were happy to accompany Li Zhongyi to talk and laugh.
After all, fools know that showing their faces in front of the lord is more important than gaining military merit on the battlefield.
Although the military regulations are obvious, there is no promotion without military merits, but when it comes to a certain battle or battle, who to send or who not to send is very particular!
He Dabei still clearly remembers that Li Zhongyi once said a famous saying: Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
I usually don't show your face in front of the commander and talk, but when it comes to the critical moment, who knows how old you are?
More importantly, because Li Zhongyi deliberately implemented a standardized training and combat mode, the command ability of the commander-in-chief has become less and less important, although it is strong or weak.
With a professional staff organization like the Senate Division, many battles or battles, as long as the commander at the level of the chief general, in fact, who is sent there, the results cannot be too outrageous.
As the old saying goes, the husband fights, the temple counts the winner, and the Senate does the work of accurate calculation.
The battle flag fluttered, the golden wind was fierce, and the ships of the sailors docked one after another, and they left the dock with a full load of soldiers.
Li Zhongyi looked at the war horses that were led onto the big boat, couldn't help but sigh slightly, and joked: "I think back then, when we played a game of hide and seek with Zhao Laoer, there was no such a good horse." ”
Among the people present, Liu Heyang and Liao Shanhe came from the forbidden army system of the imperial court, and they had not experienced the scene when Li Zhongyi and Zhao Kuangyin were whirling, they just glanced at each other and continued to be silent.
Song Yunxiang and He Dabei were both confidants who took refuge in Li Zhongyi during the Lingzhou period, and they naturally didn't want to intervene, and sometimes seniority was really destined to need opportunities.
Since Li Zhongyi's military rejuvenation, Li Yunxiao has not missed a single battle, and when he saw that everyone didn't squeak, he laughed and said: "Master, Shubei is mountainous, even if there is such a high-quality horse, it can only show one point of ability, and it is not as good as a pack horse." ”
"Yes, at that time, the soldiers were outnumbered, and if they were a fraction of a second, they would have to die, which was difficult." Li Zhongyi felt nostalgic for a while, which caused the generals to look sideways at Li Yunxiao.
Because Li Yunxiao has always been the chief steward of the old Li family, although he is already the commander of the guards, even if everyone knows that he is the descendant of Li Zhongyi's lineage, they have intentionally or unintentionally neglected that he is one of the old subordinates who has followed Li Zhongyi the longest.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?
Not to mention that it is easy to fall in love with each other for a long time, even if the dog that has been raised for several years dies suddenly, the owner will inevitably cry sadly.
Li Yunxiao saw that everyone was looking at him, and he was envious, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Don't look at the Guards, there are only a few thousand people, but they are Li Zhongyi's most personal guard troops, and their importance is self-evident.
The internal number of the Guards is 8341 A, which was determined by Li Zhongyi himself.
Li Yunxiao remembers very well that Li Zhongyi once said half-seriously and half-jokingly that even if he, Li Xiaosong, sleeps in the middle of the night, he must keep one eye open.
After Liu Heyang's troops, who were responsible for guarding the back road, had also begun to board the ship, Li Zhongyi turned over and dismounted, surrounded by the soldiers of the Guards, and stepped on the handsome ship that Zhou Daozhong had specially prepared for him under the command of the naval division.
At the time of Fang Shi, Li Zhongyi, who was holding the wings of the male soldier in his hand, stood on the bow of the ship on a whim, facing the cold wind, and shouted loudly: "The so-called three thousand miles of splendid rivers and mountains, the country of Haidong with outstanding people, can it be worthy of a war?" ”
