Luo Cheng is not a fool.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, on the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I received a decree from the Linshuo Palace.

The emperor specially sealed Luo to become a general of Huyalang, awarded the Liao vanguard general seal, and ordered Luo Cheng to lead his troops and horses to cross the Liao River on the first day of the eighth year of the Great Cause, enter Liao as the vanguard, and probe the enemy for the vanguard of the million-strong army.

More than half a year ago, he was only a junior officer of the eight-rank Sima of Yingyang Mansion, even if he won a few battles with the help of Luo Yi, but in fact, looking at the million army of the Great Sui, he was just a young junior, not to mention that there were fierce generals like Luo Yi, Song Laosheng, and Li Jing recently, even if Zhuo County, there were also countless generals such as Xue Shixiong, Mai Tiezhu, Wei Wensheng, Yu Zhongwen, etc.

Besides, this million-strong army will start immediately, but the emperor's style of paying the most attention to the scene of great joy and success, within a month or two, this million-strong army will not be able to reach the banks of the Liao River. Let him enter Liao alone now, no matter how you look at it, it is not very reasonable.

Even a stunned young man like Luo Cunxiao also knew that on the thousand-mile defense line on the other side of the Liao River, there were hundreds of mountain fortresses stationed in 150,000 Goguryeo troops, and there were millions of Goguryeo soldiers and civilians on the Liaohe Plain.

From Buyeo Fortress in the north to Gaimu Fortress at the bottom of the peninsula in the south, that is the Great Wall built by the Goguryeo people. There are only thousands of people and horses, and they run over at this time, and if they are not careful, that is, the meat buns beat the dogs and there is no return.

If you want to be a pioneer, you have to have a large army behind, but now the million army is still in Zhuo County.

"Old Five, there must be something wrong with this." Luo Cunxiao shouted.

Luo Cheng smiled, how could he not know that there was a problem. And he didn't even have to think about it, he knew who had such a hand, and he could make the emperor give an order, which was obviously done by Yu Wenhua and the turtle calf. He suffered a loss in front of him, and he couldn't handle himself, so he moved out of his father.

Who let the family have a father who is the general of the left guard and the first favorite of the emperor.

Good guy, in a few words, he Luo Cheng was actually promoted.

From Eagle Yang Lang will be promoted directly to Huya Lang General, and five grades will be promoted to four officials. It doesn't seem to be much, but in fact, this is a huge hurdle in the Sui Dynasty's Weifu system.

Suffice it to say, an eagle will be similar to a top-level school title. And a tiger tooth general is equivalent to a major general.

One school seems to be only one step, but there are countless people who are difficult to cross.

After all, in the Sui Dynasty, there will be thousands of Ying Yang Lang, and how many Hu Ya Lang will there be?

Twelve guards, each with a general of the third grade, and two generals from the third grade. There will be four people from the four-pin Tiger Lang, and there will be six people from the four-pin Huyalang.

There are four guards in one guard, and there are only seventy-two tiger teeth in the twelve.

1,000 Eagle Yang Lang Generals, 1,000 Eagle Strike Lang Generals, and then up to 72 Tiger Tooth Lang Generals, 48 Tiger Ben Lang Generals, 24 Generals, and 12 Great Generals.

From 1,000 to 72, the promotion rate of 100 is not enough.

Reasoning, an officer like Luo Cheng, who has just been promoted by rocket, is not qualified to be promoted to Huya Lang General no matter what.

But now, the battle has not been fought, and the butt is not hot in the position of Liaodong Juncheng, but the result has risen. From the five-grade eagle Yang Lang general, straight up from the four-grade tiger tooth Lang general.

How many veterans with great achievements will be blushing?

People who don't know the inside story really think that Luo Cheng has opened up the inner and listened to the sky.

It's a good thing to be able to ascend to the Tiger Tooth Lang, but the question is whether you can survive or not. If you cross the river and are destroyed, or if you are defeated, it will not end well.

Wei Zheng sat on the side with a smile and said nothing.

Luo Cheng knew that this old man must also know how this Huya Lang would come about.

"What's so ridiculous." Luo Cheng gave him a blank look.

Wei Lao Dao said, "Congratulations to the general on his promotion to Huya Lang General, it's that this piece of sugar has a sweet appearance, but it contains a crisis inside, does the general regret it?" ”

"Do you mean Yu Culture?" Luo Cheng sighed, then shook his head, "What is there to regret, Yu Wenhua and this kind of person, you can't get rid of it, even if I don't scold him, he will always pester me, the result is almost the same, unless I am willing to let Shixin be his son, I will go to his door to be a lackey, but I will definitely not be able to do that kind of thing, so whatever, fuck it." ”

"Haha, domineering. In fact, although this is a crisis, it is not an opportunity to seek compensation. How many chances do ordinary people have to let the emperor be promoted like this, Huya Lang General, there are only seventy-two people in the twelve guards of the Manchu Dynasty. As long as you don't die when you cross the river this time, hold on for a month or two, as soon as the Liao army arrives and the pioneer task is completed, this piece of sugar will be eaten. ”

The third child said coldly, "What Wei Ji said makes sense, this is also a rare opportunity. Some people want to borrow a knife to kill people, but we don't want him to be happy, not only to live, but also to live well, cross the river and fight a few more victories, so that they know what it means to steal chickens and eat rice. ”

"Then prepare." Luo Chengdao.

Wei Zheng asked him if he regretted it, and he really didn't regret it.

Yu Wenhua and this kind of person he can see through, although they are both disciples of Guanlong's famous sect like Du Ruhui, but the two are completely different. Du Ruhui was a fledgling and arrogant, although the two of them were also-for-tat at the beginning, Du Ruhui had a bottom line, and in the end, people could take the initiative to reconcile with Luo Cheng.

Keyu Wenhua is not this kind of person at all, he will only bully others, he likes something, he wants to take possession, if he does not have enough strength to protect himself, he will swallow no scum left. Either fight him to the end, or you can only become his vassal lackey, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise and peaceful coexistence.

On the same day, the military order was handed down.

Of course, the generals who conveyed the will focused on the fact that the emperor also knew that they were soldiers and horses, and knew that they could fight well, so now Feng Luo became the general of Huyalang, and specially selected them as the first people to cross the river and the vanguard of the million-strong army.

It's glory.

This is an opportunity to seal his wife and son, be promoted and make a fortune.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the New Year's Day sent troops, but everyone was stimulated. After all, Luo Cheng had just given a heavy reward to the whole army, and they also saw that Luo Cheng had been rapidly promoted from the eighth-rank Sima to the fourth-grade Huya in just over half a year.

Many of the former first regiments in this army were originally just ordinary government soldiers, but now they have also been promoted to team vice-presidents, team leaders, and even 200 captains.

This side is in the midst of a hot mobilization.

The heads of several major armies in Liaodong over there were shaken.

Li Jing personally came to find Luo Cheng, "This matter must be Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenshu's slander about the old puppet, that big traitor." Li Jing scolded directly, he used to be a military boss who was the same general as Yu Wenshu, and he was also a national prince, so he was naturally worthy of Yu Wenshu.

"I know, but I have to thank the Yuwen family for letting me soar like this."

"Don't be too happy, it's not so easy to cross the river now, it's easy to cross the river, but it's hard to gain a foothold on the river. The First Army and the Second Army cannot cross the river without His Majesty's will, and if you cross the river, you will be alone and isolated. ”

"Xie Taishou reminded, but I, Luo Cheng, will not be so easily shot to death."

Li Jing patted Luo Cheng's shoulder, "You can still say such things at this time, it seems that you have a little confidence, this momentum is very good, I can't help you anything, so let Hou Mo Chen Yi and Feng Xiaoci cross the river with you, and I will newly form 3,000 people there, and let the two bring 2,000 people with you." ”

This support moved Luo Cheng.

It's really a time of trouble.

These 3,000 people were also pulled up by Li Jing with great difficulty, and Hou Mo and Feng were his right-hand men and henchmen, and now they are also pulling them out to themselves, which is really a send-off.

"Don't thank me, no matter what, I said that I would accept you as a disciple, and now you are still waiting for Zhang Xutuo's reply, it doesn't matter, I will wait, and no matter what the reply is, I will continue to appreciate you. Besides, although you have now been promoted to the general of Huyalang and awarded the vanguard general of the Liao expedition, your position as the commander of Liaodong County has not been removed, so you are still a member of my Liaodong County, and of course your own people have to help. ”

Luo Cheng could only nod.

Afternoon.

Luo Yi, the second general of the first army, arrived with a detachment of men, and the tiger general had a black face, scolding to kill Yu Wenhua, and he had to let Luo Cheng persuade him for a long time.

In the end, Luo Yi said, "I'm just a tiger general, I can't get Yuwenshu's old puppet traitor, I can't let His Majesty take back his life, all I can do is pull out some people for you." ”

As a general of the First Army, Luo Yi is now stationed on the edge of the Liao River, and he cannot cross the river without a purpose.

But he still pulled out one hundred Yanyun heavy horses from his command, another four hundred light horses, and then another 1,500 foot soldiers to Luo Cheng.

"It's not appropriate, is it?"

"What's inappropriate, when the sky falls, Lao Tzu will stand up for you, and that's all I can help you. Cross the river, be careful, you can only fight alone. It will take at least two or three months to wait for the army to cross the river, so be careful, don't let the Goguryeo people on the dog day destroy you. ”

"Thank you." There are a thousand words in my heart, but in the end, there are only these two words. Luo Yi patted him on the shoulder, "Boy, although this is a catastrophe, it is also an opportunity, if you can't hold on, you will be fame and wealth, and you will have a bright future in the future." You are young now, but you are already the Marquis of Xiangyang, the general of Huyalang, the commander of Liaodong County, and the pioneer general of the Liao expedition, but these must be able to survive this time, survive, these are no longer virtual, but real. ”

"Remember, in case you can't hold on, retreat to the Liao River, lean on my side, and I will definitely take you back then. Even if the people are gone, as long as the people don't die, there will be a chance to make a comeback, understand? Luo Yi patted Luo Cheng on the shoulder and reminded his nephew very seriously.

"I understand, stay in the green mountains, and I'm not afraid of running out of firewood."

"That's right, boy, whether you want to or not, now you are the heir I specially asked the emperor to appoint, our Luo family still has a good business, waiting for your kid to inherit it in the future, don't die, don't be disabled!"

Luo Cheng laughed, "Don't worry, I can't die, this time I crossed the river to make meritorious contributions, and I didn't go to die." ”
