A few days later, the 50,000 army led by Hou Junji passed through Fengyi County and Jingzhao County, and arrived at the Jingyang camp north of the Beijing Division.

There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed in it, and they are the force to protect the capital, and the soldiers and horses led by Hou Junji belong to the external army, and they must be stationed in the outer camp according to the requirements, and they cannot approach the imperial city for no reason, so as not to cause accidents.

The imperial court was extremely cautious and vigilant about the proximity of the local army to the Beijing Division, and the right to transfer troops and command was the mutual restraint between the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and the generals were temporarily appointed and appointed.

After Hou Junji asked the army to set up camp here, he rushed to Beijing with several lieutenant generals and entered the palace to report to the saint.

Originally, this time I was going to rush to participate in the war and deal with the Turkic soldiers and horses, but I came one step late, the army did not arrive, the battle had been over, and the Turks were broken, which made Hou Junji and others a little remorseful, but the speed of the march had been mentioned as the fastest, and it was impossible to rush at full speed day and night, so the team could not bear it, and it was also tired when it arrived, and it was impossible to fight.

Luo Zhaoyun summoned these dusty generals in the imperial study and encouraged them.

"You and others fought in Jinyang, it was very hard, to eliminate Li Tang, the merit is outstanding, this long journey, from Taiyuan to the land of Qinchuan in Hexi, although it did not catch up with the war, but there is still hard work."

"As soon as the minister arrived in the land of Hexi, before leaving Fengyi County, he learned the news of the great victory at the front, not only happy for the news of His Majesty's great destruction of the Turks, but also regretted that I waited for a step late, and failed to fight side by side with Your Majesty, after all, it is a big regret for us." Hou Junji expressed his thoughts truthfully.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "Your troops and horses, King Qin came, as reinforcements, the Turks have also detected it, and there will be a certain amount of pressure; Moreover, when the officers and men of our army learned that you were coming, they also had confidence in their hearts, and it was very beneficial to improve the morale of our army, so the reinforcements brought from Jinyang this time also played a role. Next, there is a battle waiting for you. ”

"Please make it clear to Your Majesty that our soldiers will do their best to serve the imperial court!" Although Hou Junji and others vaguely guessed in their hearts that it was related to the war in the south, they still inquired about the situation and expressed their loyalty.

"The war in the north is all over, but south of the Yangtze River, there are still remnants of the Liang State of the Lanling Xiao clan, and Li Jing's army of 80,000 has captured many state cities in Tongzhou and Kaizhou, and beheaded Xiao Ti, the king of Liang Guoping County. At present, the Liang army still has a large number of cities to hold, and it is necessary to increase troops in the past, this time, Hou Junji, you can lead this Taiyuan army and horses, continue to go south, the grain and grass army salary court has given you enough, in the past, General Li Jing's deputy, take Xiao Liang. ”

Hou Junji hugged his fists and said: "The minister receives the order, and he should cooperate with General Li Jing to eliminate the Liang State." ”

"There is another thing, in addition to the 50,000 horses you led, there are also 20,000 Turkic troops, temporarily detained in the northern camp, disarmed with war horses and weapons, and also transferred to your commander, take them to the south, when charging into battle, you can transfer some Turks, distribute weapons and war horses, as the vanguard to fight, the Turks are brave and ruthless, and have a great deterrent and impact on the soldiers in the south, such as tigers and wolves into the breeding circle."

Hou Junji's eyes lit up, he had also seen the strength of the steppe Turkic cavalry, it was indeed not comparable to the Central Plains one-on-one, and the northern physique was burly, and the soldiers were still difficult to resist the Turks, and the southern soldiers were smaller, emaciated, and had few war horses.

However, Hou Junji also raised his own worries, one is afraid that the Turks will defect or flee, and the other is worried that they will enter the southern land and not adapt to the water and soil.

After all, the climate in the north and south is different, the climate is about to enter summer, the weather is getting hotter, there are many rains and rivers in the south, mosquitoes, leeches, and poisonous snakes can be seen everywhere, seasickness, diarrhea, wind fever, etc., are all factors that plague the northern soldiers fighting in the south.

"Don't worry, this time I will send you a hundred military doctors to bring enough medicine stones to the south!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, he had considered this question, when he founded Tai College in the capital last year, he ordered people to establish a medical school, recruit some young people who know some medical science, and invite some imperial doctors to teach in the past to improve the level of medicine.

In particular, there is a category of military doctors, common incurable diseases in the army, special explanations, bruises, bone injuries, surgical stitches, dysentery, wind and cold, etc., which can be started quickly, not necessarily like pure Chinese medicine, which does not have to take ten years, but can be done quickly.

At present, the war needs, so they are not allowed to study for a few years, but most of the backbone of the first class of students are transferred to the front line, which is not only the needs of the army, but also the training and training, killing two birds with one stone.

"If that's the case, it's the best, and it saves a lot of worries."

Next, Luo Zhaoyun told him again, for the Turks, be vigilant, not to use too much at one time, weapons and war horses, can not be all distributed, at the beginning of the heart of defense must not be less. However, during the march, food and grass must not be deducted, and people must be fed.

Hou Junji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are also Rouran people in our army, people from the Western Regions, etc., and we will find some trustworthy and literate chiefs and centurions to lead the team, and other aspects will also be handled carefully." ”

After Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he was more satisfied with Hou Junji's attitude and said, "That's good!" At present, Xiao Liang is east to Sankip, the south is handed over, and the north is rejected by Hanchuan, all of which are dependent on Liang, with three or four hundred thousand soldiers, not to be underestimated, you can bring soldiers and horses over, you can help General Li Jing with a big arm! ”

"In addition, there are some areas in the area of Jingling, Yiling, and Nanyang County in Jiangbei, which belong to the imperial court and the Liang State, and this time I will go south, by the way, and occupy them together, I will send some new scientific scholars who have just passed the imperial examination, and accompany the army.

Hou Junji nodded: "The minister remembers." ”

The rest of the lieutenant generals, just listening from behind, seeing the holy driver, felt quite honored, for the time being, they did not have the qualifications to admonish and talk, and they were still much inferior to Hou Junji's identity.

After the summons, the eunuch took out the edict, read out the decree, and promoted the appointment and canonization of Hou Junji and others, the title and the title of Yulu, and they were all overjoyed and left the palace.

After the army was stationed in the Jingyang camp for five days, it opened the road, passed through the route of Lantian and Wuguan, entered Shangluo County, Nanyang County, and Xiangyang County, and then in the area of Jingling County, some local prefectures and counties were cleaned up and suppressed in rebellion, and Jiangbei was completely controlled under the rule of the imperial court.
