Chapter 511: The Clarion Call for a Counterattack
"Brother Hua, after nearly two years of absence, Brother Hua's demeanor is still the same!"
In the dining room above the White Mansion, there was a scene of joy at this time.
Bai Qing held a bowl of wine in his hand and said with a smile to Hua Rong who was sitting next to him.
At this time, on the huge table of Baifu, in addition to Bai Qing and Hua Rong, Shi Qian, Luan Tingyu, Chen Tao, Peng Ji, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, Yang Xiong, Zhu Wu, Ou Peng, Ling Zhen, Meng Kang, Duan Jingzhu, Hu Cheng and others sat around the table, and their eyes all fell on the two who stood up.
These are the old subordinates who came to the imperial capital with Hua Rong's rapid march all the way today.
As for Sun Li, Yang Zhi, Shi Xiu, Deng Fei, Hao Siwen and others, because at the beginning, Bai Qing operated them into other teams, and the distance to Bianliang was not as close as Hua Rong's, so it was a little later to rush over.
After a farewell for nearly two years, almost everyone here has undergone earth-shaking changes, Bai Qing is no longer the seven-grade Xiaozhi County of the year, and Hua Rong also already has a few famous generals' demeanor, and there are a few more decisive spirits for the generals, as for the others, it is needless to say that Shi Qian, who has been following Bai Qing's side, has Bai Qing's relationship network and thousands of scout troops, as for Luan Tingyu and others, they also have a bit of the momentum of a general.
"Where, it's Ziche you, just two years, you are a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, this kind of promotion speed, it really makes me admire!" After hearing Bai Qing's words, Hua Rong had a heartfelt smile on his face, touched the wine bowl in his hand with Bai Qing, and then drank it all.
It's not just Hua Rong. Everyone on the table, except for Bai Qing, had a sense of gratitude for Bai Qing at this time. If Bai Qing hadn't brought them under his command back then, they wouldn't have developed so smoothly. Especially Yang Xiong and others, who had been in Liangshan before, felt a lot about this, you didn't see those brothers who still followed Song Jiang, almost became a knife in the hands of the imperial court, and they have been fighting for two years in a row, although they have won a lot of military achievements, but seven or eight out of ten brothers who have been broken, even if they are lucky enough to survive, they still haven't been reused by the imperial court.
The comparison between these two is a taste. It's like drinking water.
Today, Hua Rong took the original Lanling army all the way from Qingzhou, and after entering the city and stationing down, he was invited to the mansion by Bai Qing to set up a banquet and entertain him.
The Lanling Army of that year, in the past two years, has not stopped advancing, and even the training is more rigorous than what Bai Qing originally formulated. In addition, some Manichaean sect members were added by the Bai Qing Dynasty some time ago to serve as fresh blood, and there were as many as forty or fifty thousand people, although the number was not much. But the soldiers are strong, and the soldiers and horses have been strong for so long, and what they lack. It's just an opportunity to make a name for yourself.
After receiving Bai Qing's instructions, they realized. Great credit is here! So after assembling overnight, they set off directly to the north.
Long time no see. At this banquet, almost everyone wanted to give Bai Qing a bowl of wine to express their gratitude to Bai Qing for his kindness.
The dinner lasted until late at night, the guests and hosts were happy, these upright men, in front of Bai Qing, also revealed their true temperament, without the shelves of those generals in the past, they were drunk, crying and laughing like a child.
Not far away, Lantai Dragon Dance, Li Shishi, Li Qingzhao and Fang Jinzhi looked at this extremely lively scene, with extremely relieved looks in their eyes.
The next morning, Hua Rong and Luan Tingyu, as the commanders of the Ma Army on Jingdong Road and the Qingzhou Ma Army, respectively accepted Gao Quanye's summons, and as the first team to rush to King Qin, Hua Rong and Luan Tingyu and the generals under their command naturally received Gao Quanye's praise.
At this time, in Bianliang City, the Praetorian Guard plus the Lanling Army who rushed to King Qin, the strength of the official army has reached sixty or seventy thousand, which is basically the same as the invading rebels, but compared with the rebels, several big victories have been won in the past few days, and now it is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow.
As the newly enthroned Son of Heaven, he was actually brought to the city by soldiers, although Gao Quanye has never shown anything, but what a nest fire in his heart, he regarded this as a great shame, and after hearing Bai Qing's words, he naturally gave his full support.
What's more, originally this retreat from the enemy was handed over to Bai Qing to do.
And seeing Bai Qing's hot appearance in front of Gao Quanye right now, many officials above the court were blushing, especially those staff members who boasted of having the skill of following the dragon, they were even more envious, jealous and hateful, but they only saw Bai Qing's current scenery, but no one forgot that a few days ago, when the form was extremely urgent, it was Bai Qing who withstood the pressure and lifted this extremely heavy burden, and it was he who stubbornly reversed the situation with his extraordinary courage.
And all of this, these people don't care.
However, Bai Qing naturally did not take these things to heart, and what he had to do now was to completely defeat the rebels first.
Outside the imperial capital, the flags were unfurled, and the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers fell on the young man at the front, who was wearing a military uniform, and beside him, stood the same draped Tai Longwu, Di Xiaobai, Yang Zaixing, Hua Rong and Luan Tingyu.
"Let's go!"
There are not too many impassioned words, Bai Qing knows very well that these soldiers at the moment, when they are full of blood, say too long words, and it will be self-defeating.
The 70,000 soldiers were divided into two ways, and went straight to the camp of the rebels, the first road was dominated by the Lanling army, and the number of carriages in the middle of the team was dragged with heavy artillery, although a few of them were folded after just three cannons were fired a few days ago, but it also provided valuable data to those craftsmen under Bai Qing, who had begun to cast the latest artillery, and as for the rest, the right should be to make the best use of it.
On the other hand, it is a better-equipped Praetorian Guard than the Lanling Army, but at the moment they are seriously understaffed, considering these, Bai Qing set up this front and back flanking strategy, 50,000 Lanling Army, is to act as the main force of the counterattack, with the cooperation of artillery, frontal assault on the rebel camp, and the Praetorian Guard is behind the ambush to ensure that the rebels are defeated in one fell swoop.
The rebel camp is only ten miles away from Bianliang, and it didn't take long for the shadow of the rebel camp to be seen in the field of vision, and it can be vaguely seen, at this time, the camp is also looking like a stern battle, Bai Qing squinted his eyes, and suddenly commanded: "Hold the flag!" ”
With Bai Qing's order, a pitch-black ink-like flag suddenly waved in the wind, and above the flag, a bright red, grinding plate-sized "white" character was extremely bright......
