Chapter 593: Ready to Go (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
Huba has a strong learning ability, and has worked under Luo Cheng for more than a month, and has an understanding of the various processes of the steam engine, so Luo Cheng is also relieved to hand over the affairs to Huba to be responsible.
For this matter, Father Hu was really a little helpless.
After all, today's Hu family has a big business, but the only heir, Hu Ba, is a little unprofessional. Although it is a good thing to follow Luo Cheng now, who will inherit the family business in the future?
But if you think about it carefully, the thigh of the Hu family is now the Beiping Palace, in other words, Luo Cheng. It's okay to let Huba follow, and the future will be talked about later, and Father Hu chooses to wait and see what happens.
In fact, Father Hu didn't know much about what Luo Cheng did, after all, he had never seen legends such as wooden cows and flowing horses. If you can move without human and animal power, isn't it a legendary spell?
Although Father Hu believed in Luo Cheng quite a lot, he still had a lot of doubts about this matter. But now that Luo Cheng has done it, Father Hu didn't ask rashly, maybe this may be true.
Time flies, from year to year.
It's months in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Luo Cheng couldn't spend too much time on the steam engine, although this thing was extremely useful, but the most direct problem in front of Luo Cheng now was to sweep away the troubled times.
It is natural to want to develop, but as we all know, it is impossible to develop without a peaceful and tranquil environment. Instead of making a big effort now, it is better to concentrate on destroying Li Yuan first.
Luo Cheng's planned dispatch time was in April, taking advantage of the cold to conquer Li Tang. It is also to take this opportunity to complete the great cause of unification, as long as Li Yuan is destroyed, other anti-kings will not be a problem.
In fact, all the anti-kings are extremely discerning, how can they not know the current situation. If you have to resist stubbornly in front of Luo Cheng, it is completely self-defeating.
If Li Yuan was destroyed, they wouldn't even need Luo Cheng to remind them, they would consciously send them to the door. Rather than risk going to war with certain deaths, it is better to be conscious of being reluctant to survive.
Heroism is everyone's thing, but in the face of real desperation, it's just empty words. Anyway, Luo Cheng is confident that it won't take much time to unify this troubled world.
As the time gradually approached, Luo Cheng had already received Luo Yi's consent to mobilize all kinds of soldiers and horses outside Beiping City, all of which were Yanyun's elite, and Luo Cheng was not ready to come to another alliance.
Rather than delaying time with a group of drag oil bottles, it is better to lead the elite attack directly. While achieving the results of the battle as soon as possible, he also declared his bravery to the anti-kings from all walks of life, and let them weigh it themselves.
The army outside the city, including Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, which had been expanded to 50,000 horses. This name was originally because of the commander of the army, but it was Luo Yi's eighteen personal followers, and now it sounds a little weird.
After discussing with Luo Yi, Luo Cheng renamed these 50,000 elite cavalry as the Snap Cavalry Battalion, which is still led by those eighteen people, and it is the strongest cavalry except for the Snapdragon Army.
Yan Yun's soldiers are divided into four categories, one of which is naturally the 100,000 Snapdragon Army trained by Luo Cheng with systematic talismans. Then there is the 50,000 elite cavalry battalion, whose combat power is also not weak.
In the back is the equally prestigious Yanyun Iron Cavalry, although it is not as strong as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but it is also a rare elite division. Ordinary cavalry was no match for it at all.
As for the fourth category, it was obvious that they were foot soldiers other than cavalry, and they accounted for a considerable proportion of Yan Yun's army. Although they could not charge in line like cavalry, they had their advantages.
Anyway, today's Yanyun is wealthy, and because there are very few wars, refugees from all over the world have come to vote. For these, Luo Cheng naturally unceremoniously pocketed and continued to expand Yanyun's power.
Most of today's people are very simple, they don't cause trouble, but because they have a peaceful residence, they are grateful to Luo Cheng, and the people's aspirations have greatly increased Luo Chengwei's reputation.
As for the so-called family, naturally there are them, but in Yanyun, who else dares to shout in front of Luo Cheng?
In the face of the strong strength of the Luo family, those families who are not strong can only choose to bow down and be subordinate, and dare not slack off.
In fact, Luo Cheng doesn't know much about this, anyway, Luo Yi is in Yanyun. The Luo family's secret guards spied on the news, even if there was really any problem, it was solved by Luo Yi, and Luo Cheng didn't need to work.
In fact, in the Central Plains, the power of the family is much more than that of Yan Yun, and Li Yuan can be the emperor safely, and the relationship between these families is indispensable. Their influence is not ordinary.
To be precise, Li Yuan's decision-making is also limited by these families to some extent. It's just that he has the army in his hands, and these influences are minimal, and the Li family is also a gate valve, so Li Yuan is unwilling to tear his face directly.
But this had no effect on Luo Cheng, since he chose to lead the army, he naturally would not tolerate it. If those families dare not know how to lift, they will naturally know what despair is.
Although the Luo family is a gatekeeper, it is only a few generations, and it has nothing to do with those family valves. As long as you have absolute power in your hands, there is nothing to fear.
The so-called manipulation of public opinion by the Maisons is nothing more than a joke.
If the people are fed and clothed, then they will not hesitate to choose that side. What interests have nothing to do with them, where do ordinary people estimate that they can get so much, what they want is just a peaceful life.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Luo Cheng went to the military camp outside the city.
At this moment, the army has gathered in the camp, and Lou Jicheng also returned with his troops.
Among them, there are 70,000 Snapdragon troops, 50,000 elite cavalry battalions, 80,000 Yanyun iron cavalry, plus 100,000 foot soldiers. This lineup can be called terrifying, and when it is killed under Chang'an City, Li Yuan is afraid that he will fall into despair.
There is no doubt that Yan Yun's cavalry is extremely large and has nothing to do with the Turks. With the Turkic breeding base, war horses are no longer a problem, as long as Luo Yi has someone in his hands, it is easy to expand.
It can be said that Luo Cheng raised 300,000 troops at a time, and he had already thrown out most of Yan Yun's family resources. The combat strength of this army is bound to make Li Yuan frightened, and even the world is shocked.
And with the army, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands of people, if it weren't for Yanyun's extremely rapid development, the population has exceeded millions, it is impossible to make such a big battle.
However, Luo Cheng didn't want to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, Yanyun had plenty of grain and grass, and money was not a problem. However, mobilizing too many people will inevitably have a great impact on the situation in Yanyun.
So Luo Cheng only recruited 100,000 migrant workers, and under the inducement of Luo Cheng's prestige and salary, a large number of people soon enlisted. These are the basis for sending troops, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
In addition, Luo Cheng sent orders to all parties, and he did not ask the anti-king to send troops. Just let them recruit migrant workers and escort some of the grain and grass with the army to conquer Chang'an.
