Chapter 0143: Southern Expedition

In the first year of Shunzheng, on the first day of the fourth month, the central capital once again built a high point and swore to march south. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this time, Yang Yu was not on the stage, but offstage as an official watching the ceremony.

Yang Yu mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to oppose the Southern Expedition, but his time in the DPRK was still too short, and most of the people who were willing to oppose him were middle and low-level officials, and there was a lack of officials with a certain weight.

There are also officials who themselves oppose the Southern Expedition, but only a few, Yang Yu found that almost all the officials of the Great Liang have a fanatical obsession with the pacification and destruction of the Chu State, after all, after destroying the Chu State, the rest of the small countries are not a problem, the world will end the division of the three hundred, and the actual reunification again, which will go down in history, whether it is for the emperor or the ministers, there is a Mo attraction.

At the beginning, there were many officials like Yang Yu, who thought that the southern expedition was too hasty, and after knowing that the Chu State had internal responses through various channels, many officials turned to support the southern expedition, which made Yang Yu even more helpless. As a result, Yang Yu's opposition resulted, in addition to offending the emperor, Guo Hua, Wang Shangshu and others, and finally failed to stop the southern expedition.

For this general, Yang Yu almost wanted to scold his mother, and if he wanted to fight, he would forget it, but since you have an internal response, you should suddenly surprise the general, such a fanfare, I'm afraid that Chu Guo won't know, right!?

But Guo Hua defeated this kind of objection in one sentence - sending troops without ordering generals is not in line with etiquette!

It's still the same set of procedures, but it's grander, Emperor Shunzheng wore the most solemn golden dragon robe, dispatched a full guard of honor, personally boarded the general's platform, and announced General Cao Yingchun as the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, with a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses on the three routes, and Li Shuqin as the supervisor. Yang Yu thought that Guo Hua would be the supervisor of the army, but it turned out that Li Shuqin, who had always been relatively low-key, made Yang Yu somewhat surprised.

Bestowing tiger charms and sealing letters, Shunzheng personally encouraged the three armies, saying that the three armies, the army had already assembled to the south, and those who were in Dianjiangtai were just selected goods. At the end of the ceremony, General Cao immediately commanded his troops to the south.

Hundreds of officials were lined up, and the generals passed through in turn, and when Han Wenmeng passed by, Yang Yu couldn't help but hug him, patted his broad shoulder and said, "Treasure!" ”

Seeing that the generals were bright and high-spirited, although he had been opposed before, Yang Yu also secretly prayed at this time that the southern expedition would be smooth and that he would be able to see these young and hearty faces again.

The team finally went far, the ceremony ended, the hundred officials began to disperse, Yang Yu accompanied Ji Yong to go out, and happened to meet Guo Hua, followed by He Sanjin.

He Sanjin was deceived by Yang Yu at that time, and played a big role in Yang Yu's case of claiming to be a subordinate of the Yu family. But then in the matter of the Southern Expedition, Wang Qinghou and Yang Yu have completely different positions,-for-tat, although He Sanjin didn't understand what was going on, he keenly found that Yang Yu didn't seem to be as powerful as he imagined, so he immediately changed to worship under Guo Hua's door, He Sanjin didn't know what shame was, repeatedly patted the horse, voted for his favor, and desperately waved the flag and shouted in the matter of the Southern Expedition, and was really accepted by Guo Hua.

Yang Yu had no choice but to see the courtesy, although he was still higher than him in terms of product order, but he was really a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he had the right to lean towards the government and the opposition, Yang Yu had to be careful.

Guo Hua reluctantly returned the salute and said coldly: "Hello two adults." Lord Yang, the lower officials have a reluctant request, on the day of the triumph of the soldiers, can you invite Lord Yang to have a drink together? ”

Yang Yu smiled bitterly, this Guo Hua is really not very angry, this is thinking that after the success of the Southern Expedition, he will let himself admit his mistake in person, and his political views are different, as for it? can only respond: "I should toast to the soldiers." ”

After separating, Ji Yong couldn't help but blow his beard and glare, and said indignantly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, once you have your will, you don't know the height of the sky!" ”

Yang Yu knew that there were many people behind him who commented on Guo Hua like this, but he still persuaded: "Ji Laoxi is angry, if the southern expedition is really successful, it will be a great joy, what should I do if I admit my mistake." ”

Ji Yong calmed down and sighed: "If only they were like you." The old man is sorry for you, when I heard the first emperor say that he would transfer you to the national prison, I was very disapproving, thinking that you were from such a martial arts background, what is the matter with coming to me? I heard that you are still a troublemaker, so I fooled you into sending you to the Guanwen Temple. But I didn't expect you to do a good job, and now that I'm promoted, I haven't forgotten me, a useless old man, unlike some people, whose wings are not hard, and whose nostrils are soaring to the sky. ”

Yang Yu smiled: "Don't mind, I like the Guanwen Palace, you can keep it for me, I can't go back and go there." ”

The two laughed and dispersed for a while, it's not that Yang Yu is really like a water, it's just that he is not the kind of person who worries about the world first and enjoys the joy of the world after the world, he has done his best in the matter of the Southern Expedition, since he can't stop it, then let it be natural and live his own life.

Besides, Yang Yu still has a big event at the moment, his wedding date for Duolan is finally approaching.

At the beginning, I finally found Qingxuzi, but Qingxuzi checked the birthdays of the two people, and only gave them a month in advance, not to say that there are really no days that the two can use. It's April right now, and there are two more months, the sixth day of June, which is the wedding date.

In the following days, Yang Yu looked forward to it calmly. The matter of receiving the book is on the right track, and with Wen Yongguang and Yueguan, I don't have to worry too much, Yang Yu and Dolan are focused on preparing for the marriage.

I don't know if I'm not ready, and I'm scared when I'm ready. It turned out that Yang Yu felt that it was troublesome enough for him to get married in that time and space, and it was too pediatric compared to here.

Just before the wedding, there were Nacai, asking names, Najib, Nazheng, invitations, etc., Yang Yu was dizzy and dizzy. Fortunately, the old housekeeper Li Bo was familiar with him, and Yang Yu immediately made him the commander-in-chief, announcing that everyone, including himself, also listened to Li Bo's command, which made him feel relaxed.

The days are getting closer and closer, and the news of the southern expedition keeps coming, Yang Yu did not deliberately inquire, but he also knew that the situation was not optimistic. The officials of the military department and the household department all have heavy and serious faces, and they are busy going in and out every day, and the face of Emperor Shunzheng is getting worse day by day, and Guo Hua has lost the heart at that time, and he no longer looks like a proud little rooster.

Yang Yu knew that the plan to cross the river had failed. After the Southern Expeditionary Army settled on the north bank of the Tianshui River, they quickly got in touch with the two Chu generals who surrendered to Cheng and agreed on a time to cross the river. That night, the two Chu generals secretly commanded the sentries to allow the southern expeditionary army to cross the river.

General Cao personally led his troops, black-clothed and black-clothed boats, and quietly crossed the river. It's a pity that the river is wide and the bank is long, Lin Xiaochong is cautious, seeing that the Liang army is coming south, he has already arranged countless sentry spies, and many of the two generals don't know at all, and the army was discovered as soon as he went down the river.

That Lin Xiaochong really deserved to be a famous general of the Chu State, in such a short period of time, he did not choose to block immediately, but made up his mind to let the Liang army cross the river, and then attack after going ashore.

The Liang army did not know that it had been discovered, and secretly rejoiced that everything went well, and as a result, when more than 30,000 people of the vanguard army went ashore, the Chu army ambushed the troops, and at the same time, catapults, crossbows, bows and arrows all greeted the Liang army's ships, and made the light boats carrying flammable materials to hit the Liang army's big ship.

All of a sudden, the sound of killing was everywhere, the flames soared into the sky, and the south bank of the Tianshui River became a purgatory on earth.
