Chapter 26: The Great War is Imminent. (Page 1/1)

……

In mid-March 739 of the Great Yang Calendar, Emperor Dayang ordered the Southern Expedition, and the commander of the Fengdongshan Army, Qi Fang, was the commander of the 300,000 Southern Expeditionary Army, and Zhu Mingjing, the commander of the Zhengyang Army, was the deputy commander.

At the end of March 739 in the Dayang calendar, Zhu Mingjing led the Zhengyang army and Lu Yuan's Ziyang army to rendezvous at the border city of Dayang.

Mao time.

"What, nervous?" Seeing Su Ye, who got up early in the morning to practice knives outside the barracks, Le Bai couldn't help patting his shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Sorry to wake you up." Su Ye exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at the slightly bright sky and the towering city wall in the distance, and said, "Although I knew that there would be such a day, I was always a little uneasy in my heart. ”

"People, there will always be a first time, just get used to it." Lebo smiled, took the Pu knife and slashed at the stake in front of him, directly cutting off half of the stake, clean and neat.

Lebo put away the knife, put the tip of the knife on the ground, and said with both hands on the hilt, "As long as you cut the first knife, then the second knife and the third knife will not be far away." ”

Su Ye was slightly stunned, then his eyes condensed, and he lifted the knife and slashed at the stake in front of him, the first knife was only three inches into the wood, but Su Ye did not show any dissatisfaction, but continued to quickly withdraw the knife and then raised the knife again to split the stake, so that it often returned, until the entire stake was split in half Su Ye did not put the knife away, knelt on the ground on one knee and held the handle of the knife and panted fiercely, the sweat on his forehead fell on the ground like a crystal dewdrop.

"Feel better?" Lebo lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ye, who was sweating profusely, and asked.

Su Ye took a deep breath and replied, "It's much better than just now." ”

"This method can only relieve your temporary anxiety, if you want to truly overcome the fear in your heart, you still have to be on the battlefield."

"I understand." Su Ye nodded.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and Su Ye, who had rested for a while, stood up again and began to practice the knife, while Le Bai sat on the stone steps on the side and quietly watched Su Ye repeatedly practice the most basic knife styles of chopping, teasing, picking, and intercepting.

Suddenly, a thin figure sat quietly beside Le Bai, and a pair of clear eyes like a mirror also quietly looked at Su Ye, who was practicing knives not far away.

Seeing that the thin figure didn't speak, Le Bai couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, "King Yue finally became the deputy commander of this southern expedition. ”

Zhu Jian was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "It's a little rushed, but it's expected." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Le Bai frowned and asked, "As you said, this southern expedition is very important to my Dayang, presumably the adults in the court will not be blind to this, why did they still choose King Yue?" ”

"I think the position of deputy marshal this time is probably not decided by the court, but by His Majesty." Zhu Jian said calmly, "King Yue should have moved his brother, so he became this deputy marshal." ”

Brother?

Lebo couldn't help but speak, "I think King Yue has been trying to prove himself all these years, and the more arrogant people are, the more they don't want the hat they wear on their heads to be flashy. If this southern expedition against Changting is successful, this hat of King Yue will be worthy of its name. ”

"But if it fails, not only will King Yue be to blame, but it will also be a major blow to my Dayang." Lebber then worried.

"So this time the deputy of King Yue is Lu Yuan, the chief general of the Ziyang Army, although he is an assistant, but he may not be without constraints. I think King Yue needs to consult this General Lu no matter what big moves he makes. ”

"That's not bad, at least Lu Yuan is also a famous general, presumably for King Yue."

"No, you're wrong," Zhu Jian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This is not what King Yue wants." If Lu Yuan's opinion was to be consulted on everything, wouldn't his position as deputy marshal become an ornament? In this way, King Yue is still not a famous general who can be regarded as a standalone. ”

"Since the king of Yue is the commander, then the first name of all the merits of the victory will be recorded on the head of the king of Yue, which is the most beautiful errand for the king of Yue, why not?"

"You don't understand." Zhu Jian said lightly, "I said, King Yue is an arrogant person, and he is arrogant in his bones, how can such a person want to do this?" The price that King Yue spent in order to fight for the position of deputy marshal is probably almost the same as the credit of this crusade against Changting. So what he wants couldn't be more obvious, I'm afraid that King Yue is already racking his brains to think about how to deal with this Lu Yuan's existence. ”

"Are you saying that King Yue wants to split Lu Yuan?" Le Bai rubbed his eyebrows and thought about it, "In this case, what about the 50,000 Ziyang Army?" ”

"I think according to the character of King Yue, the most likely thing is to let Lu Yuan lead the 50,000 Ziyang army to attack Gecheng, and he will lead the Zhengyang army to bypass Gecheng and attack Mojun."

Hearing this, Le Bai's eyes couldn't help but widen and said, "In this way, doesn't King Yue plan to go deep into the hinterland of the Changting Kingdom?" ”

Seeing Le Bai's shocked expression, Zhu Jian still looked like an ancient well without waves, "Seeking victory in danger, if you can go all the way unimpeded until the capital of Changting Kingdom is sacrificed to the city, then King Yue and our 50,000 Zhengyang army can be regarded as famous in the world." ”

Le Bai couldn't help but jump to his feet when he heard this, "It's easy for you to say, there are at least four or five cities blocking this way, and it's not counting all kinds of natural dangers." But the lone army is going deeper, what about the supply of grain and grass? I'm afraid that even if we can go to the city of sacrifice, there will be no one of our 50,000 Zhengyang troops. ”

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and now the matter has not yet been decided, and we have not yet left the county gate, and it is too early to worry about it."

Lebo rolled his eyes, lying on the ground looking at the horizon of the first day, he didn't have a good breath, "I've known you for so many years, I still don't know you, you crow's mouth is accurate, if I don't prepare well, I'm afraid I'll really die and live this time." ”

Zhu Jian just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say much.

Immediately afterwards, another carp straightened his back, looked at Zhu Jian on the side and said, "Seriously, if this time is really as you said, I'm afraid you won't stay long in this southern expedition." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jian changed his head to a serious expression, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, I want to stay." ”

"Are you stupid? If you die here, how sad my Aunt Qin will be! ”

Seeing the worry that couldn't be concealed between Le Bai's eyebrows, Zhu Jian smiled faintly and said softly, "It's hard to come out once, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't even see the great rivers and mountains outside." ”

"You don't have a chance to see you anymore, if Aunt Qin's temperament learns about King Yue's actions this time, she will definitely let you return to Beijing, I don't know if you want to or not." Leber sneered.

"But if the mother concubine knows that I am not in the Zhengyang Army, but in the Dongshan Army of Qifang, then this worry is nothing."
