Chapter 177 - Pre-War Preparations
"Your Majesty, although you can go with peace of mind, there is me and my sister in this Chang'an City, as well as a group of virtuous ministers in the court, there will be no chaos."
Joey looked at Zhao Fan affectionately, and wanted to open his mouth to let him stay with him, after all, he was about to give birth, in this era, it is extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth to a child, it is like half a foot entering a ghost gate.
At the moment when she was about to give birth, Zhao Fan suddenly said that she was going to leave Chang'an to go out to fight, she naturally had a thousand and ten thousand unwillingness in her heart, but as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she knew that she knew the truth of the gentle township hero mound, and she had received a good education since she was a child, and she was extremely knowledgeable, so naturally she would not put forward any opinions that were unfavorable to Zhao Fan and unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty at such a time.
"If it weren't for the necessity, I would really be reluctant to leave you, and I hope you don't blame me." Zhao Fan took Joey into his arms, and said with mixed feelings in his heart.
"The concubines understand, the concubines understand." Joey snuggled up to Zhao Fan's chest, feeling the temperature coming from his body, and muttered to himself.
After a long time, Joey broke free from Zhao Fan's arms, slowly walked to a shelf, took down a wooden box inside, and gently handed it to Zhao Fandao, "Your Majesty is fighting on the battlefield, and the concubines can't accompany Your Majesty, so let this sword accompany Your Majesty on my behalf." ”
Zhao Fan closed the somewhat heavy wooden box, opened it, and saw that it was the long sword that Joey used in the city that day.
"This sword was made by my father collecting the Heavenly Dark Iron, it took a long time, and it was extremely sharp, although His Majesty may not be able to use him, but it is always good to hold it for self-defense."
"Yi'er, thank you." Zhao Fan stared at Joey's eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness, although the two didn't say much at the moment, but everything was silent.
"Your Majesty, you must rescue my father, and then teach those Khitans a good lesson!"
When Zhao Fan and the two looked at each other affectionately, Li Cunqiao on the side jumped out, waved his small fist and said, "When I grow up, I must eliminate these hateful thieves." Give me a peace in the Tang Frontier. ”
"Okay, when you grow up, I will make you my general of the expedition to the north, and let you lead thousands of troops and horses to wipe out all those savages." Zhao Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm young, don't lie to me!" Li Cunmiao looked at Zhao Fan, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said with a look of disbelief.
"Cut, as the king of a country, Chrysostom Yuyan, will I still lie to you as a little kid?" Zhao Fan glared at Li Cunqiao a little speechlessly, and said angrily.
"Sister, he's bullying me again!" Li Cunmiao is also very clever, and when he saw Zhao Fan's face change, he immediately hid behind Joey, and said with a look of grievance.
Joey looked at the two of them with some amusement, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
What Zhao Fan didn't expect was that his momentary joke today would actually become a reality a few years later.
……
The assembly of the army was extremely smooth, and Scar, Ma Jianying and others left a certain number of men and horses to defend in the original station, and immediately led the remaining army to quickly assemble towards the location designated by Zhao Fan.
Unlike the TV of later generations, the march of this era was not what later generations imagined, and the soldiers rushed to the battlefield one after another under the order of the commander.
In fact, fighting a war in this era is extremely troublesome, as the so-called army has not moved, grain and grass go first, Zhao Fan must prepare sufficient materials at the assembly site, and arrange the marching time and assembly time of each army, everything is ready, before starting to march towards the target point.
Otherwise, each army will go its own way, then the whole battle situation will become chaotic, and the army will not even have enough to eat when it reaches the assembly point, so what is there to talk about fighting? And the army has joined the battlefield one after another, so isn't that a tactic to add fuel to? And if there are fewer people, maybe the enemy will make dumplings and become an appetizer on people's tables.
Therefore, in ancient times, when marching and fighting, everyone generally gathered their own armies, and when both sides were almost ready, this really started the war, and the two sides began to cross the sea to show their magical powers.
Of course, if the enemy army has been assembled, but you have not assembled it yet, and it is clear that you are finally cleaned up by others, then there is no way, who calls you not arranged.
……
There was no parting lyricism, just like when he was in Luoyang City, Zhao Fan did not say any goodbye to Joey and Wei Ruqian, and as soon as the large army under his command was assembled, Zhao Fan immediately began to announce the start of the army, and set off towards the agreed place with tens of thousands of troops.
For this war, Zhao Fan was also well prepared, all the elite soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army were mobilized and prepared to participate in this big war, and the place where the Mandate of Heaven Army was originally stationed was all taken over by the militia of the Tuntian Army, which was still an instant.
In terms of materials and food, thanks to the work of Tuntian presided over by Zhang Ji over the years, not only did he take care of everything properly, but also saved countless surplus grains, enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to support for a long time, and with Zhao Fan's order, these grains were immediately transported to the border area.
The food problem is solved, and the material problem is even simpler, what is Zhao Fan's last shortage? It's money! Money!
With sufficient money, are you still afraid that the materials will not be available? As others say, there is no problem in this world that money can't solve, and if there is, it's that you don't have enough money.
When the large golden tickets of Datang Bank arrived in the hands of the major chambers of commerce, truckloads of materials were immediately transported to the place designated by Zhao Fan, and there was no need to worry at all.
Sometimes Zhao Fan can't help but think that the trick of opening a bank by himself is simply too witty, and now that he is in a war, if he is nervous, he can also issue a large wave of national bonds and pay a certain amount of interest, so that he will not have money immediately?
The experience accumulated from later generations has given Zhao Fan countless ways to play with things that others are helpless in this era. Zhao Fan can immediately think of a solution, this is his biggest advantage, more than a thousand civilization development and experience accumulation, that is definitely not a joke.
The supplies, grain and grass have been prepared, and the mobilization meeting of the soldiers Zhao Fan has also been completed, Zhao Fan walked on the way to the battlefield with the army, silently thinking in his heart, what to do next to stabilize the situation in Datang.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he always felt that he didn't really feel like an emperor, but was like an ordinary feudal town, which was very wrong...
Maybe it's the wrong way to open it, yes, that's it...
