Chapter 1091: The Great War is about to begin
Stepping out of the gate of the Tiger Prison General's Mansion, Lu must have looked back at this spectacular building, but his face was full of gloom and sadness.
After all, greed hurt himself.
He sighed, turned to look at Lu Dayuan beside him, and arched his hand: "Brother Lu, you are old friends, this time you go to Danyang, those sons, please take care of it."
"Brother Lu, don't worry, they used to be my robes, how could I treat them badly, besides, they are also elite soldiers, as long as they are used well, the credit will not be captured in the future." Lu Dayuan patted Lu on the shoulder and said with a package ticket.
"Will they go to war this time? Cai Qiang is in Xintong, will His Majesty order them to go to Xintong to attack Cai Qiang?" Lu must have hesitated for a moment and asked. With Cai Qiang's 5,000 troops who fled to Xintong, they were also his subordinates not long ago, if this is the case, then it is really fratricidal, Lu must be very reluctant in his heart.
Lu Dayuan shook his head slightly: "Brother Lu, this is not something we can worry about, maybe we will let them attack Xintong to show their hearts, and use merit to gain a foothold in the Ming army, maybe not let them go, don't forget, in Danyang, where are the Chasing Wind Camp and Yang Zhi. No matter what, you don't care about these things, and don't say anything more about this matter, now for Brother Lu, it's better to have more than one thing less."
"I see." Lu must have nodded, "In that case, I'll leave for Yuejing City right away to see how my Danyang Houfu is?"
"That's exactly what happened!" Lu Dayuan laughed and said, "Your family, Han Kun has already been sent to Kaiping County, after you arrive in Kaiping, you will be able to join them. Brother Lu, after arriving in Yuejing City and settling down, you might as well go to Daming and take a look, you know, I have been in Daming for a few years, but I have traveled almost all the states and counties in Daming."
"Can I leave Yuejing City at will?" Lu must have asked suspiciously.
"Brother Lu, what are you talking about?" Lu Dayuan looked at Lu must with some surprise: "Brother Lu, you think too much, you are the dignified Danyang Hou of Daming, and you are also the first candidate of Daming, with a noble status, in Daming, where can you go?" Oh, by the way, according to the Ming system, you can bring a hundred guards with you to the Houfu."
Lu must have been stunned, then shook his head; "Forget it, why am I taking so many guards for me? I went to Yuejing City, if I really need it, I will ask the court again, and those guards who were originally in the army may have a better future if they stay in the army. Brother Lu, I will write a letter to Lu Yi and several other generals when I go back, I believe it will be of some use to your next reorganization."
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Lu Dayuan smiled happily and thanked him. Immediately saw that Lu Zheng's expression looked a little haggard, and he couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Lu, you are a talented person, this time it is just a little rest, people like us, it is rare to have any leisure time in a lifetime, I also became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, and I really lived a comfortable life, you can rest assured, there will be a time for you to show your strength in the future."
"Really?" Lu must have been a little incredulous, "I'm afraid it's hard."
"The fall of the Qin State is just around the corner. The ambition of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty's ambition does not stop here, swallowing Chu and destroying Qi, and dominating the world is the ultimate goal, Brother Lu, compared to the Qi State, what is the Qin State? At that time, it was really a confrontation between the two armies, and it was quite a real chapter, you said that at that time, would Your Majesty let you stay in Yuejing City like this and take food and pay for nothing to enjoy Qingfu? I'm sure I'm going to call you around when the time comes!" Lu Dayuan said with a big laugh.
"I hope it's as you say!" Lu must have a rare smile, "Then listen to your persuasion, when the capital is settled, I will go to various places in Daming, I also want to see what Daming relied on, in just a few years, to gather such a huge national and military strength."
"I'm going to blow your mind." Lu Dayuan smiled proudly, he had been to every place." By the way, He Weiping and they still have a banquet to invite you to have a drink, since you are leaving tomorrow, why don't you get together today?"
"No, everyone's identity is quite embarrassing now. In the future, when you come to Yuejing City, I will be the east!" Lu must have waved and turned to walk away alone.
In September, Qin Huang Ma Yue gathered 200,000 troops out of Yongdu, with Yuan Yiqiu as the forward, An Zishan left flank, Nian Chunfeng right flank, Ma Yue self-unified Chinese army, rolling in the direction of Tiger Prison, and in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qin Feng sat in the Tiger Prison Pass, gathered the Wind Chasing Battalion, Baoqing Battalion, Blue Wolf Battalion, Jumu Battalion, Tiger Battalion, Miner Battalion, Tiger Ben Battalion, Yulin Battalion and Fire Death Battalion, a total of 45,000 people Ming Army and He Weiyuan's Tiger Prison New Army Six Battle Camps in Four of the Six Battle Camps totaling 20,000 people, and 10,000 horses under Lu Dayuan's original command and 10,000 cavalry from two battalions adapted from the Qingzhou Army, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
In this battle, the two sides gathered a total of nearly 300,000 troops, the Qin State is the power of the whole country, but the Ming Dynasty only used less than half of the headquarters of the people, from the number of people, the Qin people occupy an absolute advantage, but from the actual combat effectiveness, it is not necessarily the case.
"This battle, it looks like there are still a dozen of them!" In the Hengduan Mountain Area Paomaping Military Village, Tuoba Yan stared at the map, and the huge red arrows drawn on it represented the offensive routes of the three armies of the Qin army, and the blue arrows represented the direction of the Ming Dynasty's attack." The Ming people don't seem to have taken the Qin people in their eyes, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, they are too arrogant, this battle is related to the national fortune of the Qin State, Ma Yue will fight hard."
Guo Xiancheng, who was sitting at the top, shook his head slightly: "Although the Qin army is a rabble, except for the 50,000 thunder army led by Ma Yueqin who still has the strength to fight, the other departments are not the opponents of the Ming army at all. Ma Yue's attack was launched too late, if this big battle was launched in May, don't care about the number of troops, but have more chances of winning, at that time, he didn't gather more troops, how could Qin Feng arrange it? At that time, Qin Feng was bent on calming down and digesting the nearly 100,000 surrendered troops. But now, the Ming people are ready, and the main camps have been arranged in place, at this time, hehe, even the elite soldiers and horses of my Daqi dare not say victory, he Ma Yue, what to fight?"
"Two hundred thousand!" Tuoba Yan smiled hesitantly: "Dashuai, even 200,000 pigs, it is enough for him Qin Feng to cut it."
"Is it to fight a pig in war?" Guo Xiancheng smiled and said: "In this battle, I don't care how many people I kill, what Qin Feng wants is to defeat it. The Qin army is now a momentary blood and courage, as long as it suffers a few defeats in a row, the morale is only afraid that it will collapse, after all, it is not a hundred battles elite soldiers. The Ming army is different, even if they suffer a defeat, they will be defeated but not chaotic. And the Qin people ......" Guo Xiancheng shook his head.
"Bian Wushuang is very strange!" Tuoba Yan nodded in the direction of the Luoying Mountain Range: "Let's say that he separated from the Qin Ting Dynasty, he also sent 50,000 soldiers back to help in the battle, saying that he is loyal to the Qin Court, but why did his remaining 50,000 troops not move in the direction of Yongdu but retreated into the Luoying Mountain Range?"
"Don't expect Bian Wushuang to be loyal to the Qin State!" Guo Xiancheng said coldly: "Although he only has 50,000 people left, I am afraid that these 50,000 people are under his absolute control. If the Qin army wins, he will naturally go out to serve the imperial court, if the Qin army is defeated, he will retreat into the Luoying Mountains, and the Ming people are not easy to fight, so he will have the capital to negotiate conditions with the Ming people. It is unlikely that the Ming Kingdom will rush into the Luoying Mountains to compete with him, Qin Feng has fought in the Luoying Mountains for many years in his early years, and he knows how difficult it is to fight in that mountainous area."
"Dashuai, what should we do now? You've been staying in Happy Valley, not to watch the excitement of the Tiger Prison here, right?" Tuoba Yan said with a smile, as one of Guo Xiancheng's current henchmen, when no one is around, it seems very casual to talk to Guo Xiancheng.
"You can see clearly, of course I won't stay here and enjoy the scenery!" Guo Xiancheng laughed: "Qin Feng wants to clean up Ma Yue after dividing five by two, how can I let him get his wish?" Of course we're going to get him in trouble!"
"The marshal wants to launch a battle in the Hengduan Mountains?" Tuoba Yan's eyes flashed." Now is a good opportunity, the Qin defenders in the Hengduan Mountains, oh, it should be regarded as the Ming defenders now, the military spirit is not stable, the Ming army in order to cope with the upcoming war, and did not vigorously strengthen the defense of the Hengduan Mountains, fight a dozen, even if it can't exert much influence on the Qin Ming Dynasty, but as long as it can seize control of the Hengduan Mountains, it will be of great benefit to us in the future. When the Great Qi and the Ming Kingdom go to war, we will go out and beat them if we want to, and they can only retreat in the Tiger Prison Pass to defend passively."
"You can see it accurately, that's what it means." Guo Xiancheng clapped his hands and said: "If we can attract the Ming people to come to help on a large scale and contain some of his troops, it is the best, so that Ma Yue can hold on for a longer time, if there is a miracle and this war drags on to a stalemate, then we will make a lot of money." If the Ming army ignores the Hengduan Mountains and wants to defeat Ma Yue first, then we might as well exert our efforts to take control of the entire Hengduan Mountains."
"Handsome and wise!" Tuoba Yan gave a thumbs up, "This time the last general will take the lead."
"You are the chief general of the Hengduan Mountains, and what you are best at is cavalry combat, how much role can you play in attacking the Ming people's military fortress above the deep mountains and old mountains?" Guo Xiancheng said with a smile: "Don't think about meritorious service in everything, but also give some credit to your subordinates, let Huang An and Zhang Bai go this time!"
"These two guys?" Tuoba Yan was dismissive.
"In the last war, although these two guys had a dishonest performance, but in that case, it is not a mortal crime, and besides, these two people are also my famous family, this time Your Majesty promoted domestic reform, and the Huang family and the Zhang family did not hesitate to fully support Your Majesty because of the two of them, and paid a lot of price, Your Majesty means to give the two of them a chance."
"I'm afraid they won't be able to hold up the wall with mud." Tuoba Yan sneered and said: "I think these two people are a little decadent, if they are entrusted with important tasks, I am afraid that they will miss the big thing of the handsome."
"No way, this is also what Your Majesty meant, the two of them have given Your Majesty support, Your Majesty wants to reciprocate, if the two of them can't make contributions this time, then take them down, their family has nothing to say, they can only blame themselves for not fighting. Tuoba Yan, this is the general climate of domestic politics, and we must only be a corner of the place here, and we must take into account the overall situation."
"The Admiral understands." Tuoba Yan said." In other words, Your Majesty didn't take this place seriously!"
Guo Xiancheng laughed: "You can just say this in front of me, you can't talk nonsense outside, if it reaches Your Majesty's ears, you will be the end of the general."
