Chapter 429 Expedition to Wagang

Since the victory of Yanshi City, the momentum of the rebels from all walks of life in Henan has also been stagnant, and the calls for counterinsurgency in Luoyang City have also risen one after another. After Yang Tong, the king of Yue, sent people to Jiangdu for instructions, he decisively ordered Hu Benlang to take Liu Changgong as the main general, and Guanglu Shaoqing Fang Wei as the deputy general, and led 10,000 people of the Royal Forest Army to Wagangzhai to quell the chaos.

Coupled with the previous 10,000 Royal Forest Army, they marched towards Wagang Mountain in such a mighty way!

At the same time, the rebel army of Wagangzhai seems to be not to be outdone, Zhai Rang and Li Mi personally led the troops, and nearly 100,000 elites in Wagangzhai poured out of the nest and marched towards Luoyang City! According to the speed of the march of the two armies, the two armies will meet in Heikou County in Luoshui, and Heikou County will also become the battlefield where the two armies fight!

The speed of the march of the officers and soldiers was very fast, and in one day, they could rush to Heikou County, but it was getting late, and the commander Liu Changgong also ordered the whole army to camp on the spot. As soon as the camp was tidied up, Liu Changgong asked the main generals in the army to rush to the main account to discuss the military situation.

Summoned all the generals into his tent, and looked at those generals and children of the family standing respectfully in his hands, Liu Changgong was also proud and high-spirited. Liu Changgong, who is nearly forty years old, is unknown among the famous generals of the Great Sui, although Liu Changgong is also from a family of military generals, but his family background is not very prominent, and he has not fought any big battles. In the past few years, he has been working outside with Duan Da, and this time Duan Da returned to Luoyang, he also came back with Duan Da. It is precisely this relationship that this expedition to defeat Wagangzhai will be the turn of Liu Changgong for the title of coach! In the same way, as Liu Changgong's deputy general, Fang Wei is also a close confidant of Yuan Wendu, plus both of them were students of Yuan Wendu when they were young, this time Yuan Wendu and Duan Da became the henchmen of King Yue, and the two of them are also rising!

Secretly complacent in his heart, Liu Changgong almost forgot that he was still in front of the generals, but fortunately, when Fang Wei next to him saw it, he immediately coughed lightly, which woke him up. Liu Changgong also coughed lightly in embarrassment, and then Zhengse said to the generals: "You all know that now the thieves of Wagangzhai have arrived in Heikou County!" The county seat of Heikou is located east of Luoshui, which means that you have to cross Luoshui to launch an attack on the thieves! What do you think about this? ”

Hearing Liu Changgong ask, there was silence below, these generals are actually children of some families, princes and nobles, this time they came with the army, it is nothing more than that they heard that Wagangzhai is actually some rabble, and this battle will undoubtedly be won, so follow to get some military merits, so as to add a little resume to the court in the future! If you want to talk about walking dogs and fighting birds, these gentlemen can still do it, but when it comes to marching and fighting, they are blind, and Liu Changgong just asked them in vain.

Liu Changgong's face was a little bad, although he himself came to take credit, but he was also a general, and he had fought on the battlefield, but now what are these gentlemen who follow him? Liu Changgong turned his head to look at Fang Wei again, unlike Liu Changgong, Fang Wei has been staying in Luoyang in the past few years, knowing that although these gentlemen are not in the climate, the forces behind them are not simple. Seeing the impatient look on Liu Changgong's face, Fang Wei immediately shook his head slightly, signaling Liu Changgong not to be impatient.

Liu Changgong took a deep breath, and finally pressed the unhappiness in his heart, he knew that his expedition this time was not only to get credit, but more importantly, to win the support of these families and princes for his teacher Yuan Wendu, so these gentlemen must not be offended! Thinking of this, Liu Changgong also lost his temper, so he could only nod lightly and said: "In this way, I want to rush to Luoshui tomorrow, and after resting for the night, cross Luoshui and attack Heikou!" If you have no objection, then do so! ”

Since he can't ask any opinions, then Liu Changgong can only be arbitrary, anyway, it can be expected that these gentlemen will not have any good ideas. Sure enough, after Liu Changgong finished speaking, the leading generals of the battalion looked at each other, and then they all clasped their fists in unison and shouted at Liu Changgong: "Follow the general's orders!" ”

"The general is here!" At this time, a shout came from outside the camp tent, and after hearing this shout, Liu Changgong's originally black face like ink immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and he hurriedly shouted: "Liulang is here!" Fast! Come in, General! ”

This is the third son of the elder of the Great Sui Dynasty, the sixth in line, and he is called Lai Liulang! Lai Hu'er is a general in the court, and the children of the Lai family are all able to fight well! Laihong, the second son of Laihu'er, followed Laihu'er to the east to conquer Goguryeo, and also made a lot of contributions, and Laiquan himself also had a lot of achievements in the battle of Yanmen Pass! Therefore, although Lai Cheng is also a child of the family, it is not as useless as these children in front of him! In a situation like the present, the opinions of the whole are worth learning from!

Soon, Lai Cheng, who was dressed in military uniform, walked into the camp quickly, stared at Liu Changgong in front of him without squinting, clasped his fists and saluted, and shouted: "The end will be whole!" Seen the general! ”

"Huh! Rokuro is back! Did the trip go well? Looking at the rectification in front of him, Liu Changgong is also a little contradictory, and his ability to rectify is absolutely first-class, but the problem is that the relationship between Laijia and Liang Guogong is a little complicated! Although Yuan Wendu did not say it explicitly this time, Liu Changgong and Fang Wei were very clear that the most suitable candidate for the commander of this expedition to Wagangzhai was tantamount to Liang Guogong Wanhe, who had just defeated Wagangzhai once! But Wan He and Yuan Wendu don't seem to deal with each other, and Yuan Wendu has finally been appreciated by King Yue now, and he wants to get more reuse around King Yue, so he naturally wants to squeeze out Wan He, who was originally King Yue's most trusted person! So this time, Yuanwen operated up and down, and finally squeezed Wan He away, so that Liu Changgong became the commander of this army!

Liu Changgong, who understands the teacher's meaning, will naturally act according to the teacher's meaning, and all those who have a relationship with Wanhe have not been selected into the army. Only this is the only way to rectify it, Liu Changgong hesitated again and again, but still called him into the army! Because Laijia is an important figure in the Great Sui military after all, if Liu Changgong doesn't choose Laijia this time, it will be impossible to say! However, although Liu Changgong let Lai Cheng enter the conquest army, in the past few days, he has always let Lai Cheng carry out some logistics tasks in the rear, and he did not dare to hand over the matters of the battle in front to Lai Cheng. A few days ago, Liu Changgong was also assigned the task of transporting grain and grass to Laicheng, the purpose of which was to marginalize Laicheng from this war.

Liu Changgong's abacus is a good fight, but the plan can never catch up with the changes, who would have thought that Liu Changgong's subordinates would not have a single available general! In desperation, Liu Changgong had to be cheeky to ask for advice!

Laiquan has always maintained his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, it is said that this is a common problem of Lai's family, as long as he is in the army, he has always been unsmiling! Hearing Liu Changgong's question, he came to Liu Changgong and shouted with his fists at him: "Return to the general!" The last general has already brought back grain and grass, a total of one hundred and thirty-seven stones, and has now handed it over to the battalion! ”

The appearance of this board made Liu Changgong a little embarrassed, smiled, and said: "Liulang's ability, I can naturally trust it!" Hehe! Well, Rokuro! I have a problem here now, and I have to ask Rokuro to help us with the staff! ”

"Obey the general's orders! The sea of swords and fires is unremitting! As soon as Liu Changgong's words came out, he hugged his fists again and shouted loudly, and his face always maintained a serious attitude, as if he was a stone man!

"Ahem!" Laicheng's attitude also made Liu Changgong a little embarrassed, Liu Changgong knew that this was Laicheng expressing his dissatisfaction! It's no wonder that the son of a general joined the conquest army, but he did trivial tasks such as transporting grain and grass and transmitting intelligence all day long. Liu Changgong said with a smile: "It's not that serious! It's not that serious! It's just that now that we are about to arrive in Luoshui, I want to ask Liulang, according to your opinion, how should our army behave? ”

"The last general obeys the general's orders! What does the general think, the last general dares to disobey his orders! Lai Cheng was still as hard as usual, and the gentlemen next to him also heard the anger in Lai Quan's words, and they all gloated, although they didn't dare to laugh out loud in front of Liu Changgong, but they all covered their mouths and laughed.

Seeing this, Liu Changgong's face also turned red, and he didn't give himself face like this, so that Liu Changgong couldn't let go of his face. Fortunately, there was a Fang Wei next to him, and when he saw that Liu Changgong was about to get angry, Fang Wei immediately came forward to play a round game, and said to the two with a smile: "Oops! If you have something to say, it's good to say! If you have something to say, it's good to say! Ahem! Rokuro! You are also a general in the army now, don't be too rash, everyone is working for the court! Right! It will be good for everyone to put down the rebellion and thieves as soon as possible! ”

Fang Wei used to have the reputation of a peacemaker when he was in Luoyang, and when he saw Fang Wei coming out, Lai Cheng's face also eased a little, he looked up at Liu Changgong, and shouted in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that the soldiers are noble and fast, and this is the only way to fight!" Since the army of Wagangzhai has rushed to Heikou, it is not far from our army, when you engage the thieves at the fastest speed and take advantage of the victory, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”
