Chapter 797: Prologue to the Eastern Crusade
In March, the spring flowers bloom, whether it is in the Guannei or the Central Plains, it is lush and green, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring ploughing has also begun.
Luo Zhaoyun outside the Beijing Division, inspecting the barracks, due to the stability of the Guan, the whole winter did not starve to death of the people, so that Dahua's support was raised to a very high position, although the propaganda was good years ago, but after all, the local people were skeptical, until the local yamen opened a warehouse in the cold winter month to release grain, and distributed public grain every ten days to relieve the poor people, according to the population, so that the poor people were not starved to death, and immediately felt convinced of the credibility of the imperial court.
After the beginning of spring, the imperial court recruited a large number of soldiers, and new troops were sent in a steady stream.
There are three main camps outside Chang'an City, with 100,000 elite soldiers, 80,000 new troops, and 100,000 half-new and half-old soldiers and horses, adding up, close to 300,000 troops, gathering camps around Chang'an, ready to march eastward at any time.
Li Jing, Hou Junji and others accompanied His Majesty Dahua to patrol the camp and introduced the overall strength of the current group army, including 50,000 cavalry, which definitely has a great advantage in dealing with the infantry in the Central Plains.
In addition, the Modao Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Special Operations Battalion have also grown and can perform various offensive tasks.
"Your Majesty, I don't know when our Dahua will send troops to crusade against Wang Shichong?" Hou Junji couldn't help but ask.
Luo Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment and said: "After the Qingming Festival, after the Chang'an people worship their ancestors, the vanguard army is dispatched, and then other people from all walks of life send a letter to Guguan to attack Wang Shichong's eastern capital Luoyang!" ”
Xue Wanqian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, lead the troops to send a letter to Guguan first, and take Hongnong County!" ”
Guo Xiaoke explained: "There are 30,000 Wang Shichong's Zheng Guojun in Hongnong County, and they are trying to block Dahua's eastward advance, but they are just using their arms as a car. ”
Luo Zhaoyun saw that he was surrounded by reliable generals and backbone figures of the Dahua military, so he did not shy away from it, and said directly: "This time, Li Jing is the commander of the three armies, responsible for the crusade against Wang Shichong of Luoyang. Xue Wanqian was a vanguard general, commanding 30,000 troops to fight in the front; Hou Junji was the general of the left road, led 50,000 troops, marched along the south bank of the Yellow River, paid close attention to the movements of Li Yuan in Hedong County and Dou Jiande in Hebei, and intercepted the intervention of the princes of the two sides in time, playing a role in flanking and deterring; Mai Tiezhu was the general on the right, commanding 50,000 troops, marching to the southeast, capturing Shangluo County, Nanyang County, and Xiangcheng County, outflanking the past from the right side, and attacking the south gate of Luoyang, while resisting the rescue of Xiao Liang and Du Fuwei's army. ”
"Obey your orders!"
This strategy was decided by the important ministers of the Privy Council, and several generals, as well as Emperor Luo Zhaoyun of Dahua, for many days, but it has not been announced to the public.
Guo Xiaoke still couldn't deduce it, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, do you think Dou Jiande, Li Yuan, Du Fuwei and others will rescue Wang Shichong in Luoyang?" ”
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "There is this possibility, the arrival of the cold lips and teeth, they all know it, plus the allusion between Qiang Qin and the Six Kingdoms, even the horizontal and vertical allusions, I feel that Li Yuan may not be able to quench his thirst far from water, but Dou Jiande is on the north bank of the Yellow River, at a critical time, it is still very possible to rescue Luoyang and prevent Wang Shichong from falling, after all, as long as Luoyang does not fall, it will be scorched down with Dahua, and they will be safe and sound, so in the later stage, I Dahua still wants the cooperation of these local vassal states!" ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, with me Li Jing here, Luoyang will definitely be taken, regardless of whether Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei come to reinforce or not!"
Luo Zhaoyun confessed: "The soldiers are fast, we have a good weapon in hand, the national strength is strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and we are still very sure of dealing with Luoyang, in addition, in Luoyang City, there are some heroes of Wagangzhai, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Pei Renji and his son, etc., are all good at fighting, rare generals, if you fight, it is best to persuade you to surrender, if you fight, try to capture alive, and use it for my Dahua in the future." ”
Li Jing and the others have written it down, they know very well that His Majesty is eager to seek talents and has the capacity to tolerate people, so they will try their best to do it.
.........
Time passed quickly, Qingming passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to go on the Eastern Expedition.
Outside the Yanxing Gate of the entire Chang'an City, the soldiers are standing, densely packed, spears like a forest, and the cold mangs are surging.
The large group army formation was already ready to go, and it was full of anger, silently staring at the point of the general in front of it.
In the early morning, under the sun, all the young soldiers' faces were full of perseverance, and countless eyes fell on the first person, that is, Luo Zhaoyun, wearing a golden imperial robe, with a dragon pattern, the dignity of the ninety-five, standing on the high platform, the momentum of dominating the world was fully displayed.
In the face of an army of two or three hundred thousand, after he took care of it, he saw that the hour was almost up, drew his sword, and choked with a loud sound.
The sergeant stood solemnly, his face full of excitement, and there was no more sound, and the banner blown by the warm spring breeze was flying, and the hunting sounded.
Luo Zhaoyun shouted in a deep voice: "Today's expedition, Dahua will win!" ”
His simple eight words, the dantian issued, spread far away, the flag hula danced, fueling the prestige, the sound roared and agitated, such as Huang Zhong Da Lu, scattered outward, and the square array was heard for several miles.
The two or three hundred thousand troops who went out to fight listened to Luo Zhaoyun's calm shouting, they all felt full of enthusiasm stirring, raised their spears, and pointed obliquely at the sky: "Today's expedition, Dahua will win......
This whistling sound, the masculine spirit condenses, rises to the sky, plus the sword light, the gun, is very powerful, majestic.
When the onlookers heard it, they couldn't help but shout, shouting from the bottom of their hearts, shouting from the abyss: Dahua will win!
Even this shout came into the city from outside the city, and many people in the streets and alleys were praying that Dahua's expedition could successfully sweep the world, and it would be a balance from now on.
Luo Zhaoyun gave the sword to Li Jing, which is equivalent to the sword of Shang Fang, and anyone who violates his military order can cut it first and then play it!
All the generals and soldiers looked sideways, a little chill in their hearts, and they admired Li Jing even more.
