Chapter 1256: The Great War Rises and Clouds Fly

(PS: Uh, one more update.) )

On 19 August, the Great Xia Army began to mobilize as planned.

From 9 o'clock in the morning, the 650,000 Zhou troops placed in the barracks outside the city were transmitted from Handan City to Naibi Capital, the provincial administrative office of Hetao, in batches, preparing to attack Tubo from Hetao Province, which was the left wing of the whole army.

The commander of this army was none other than Tian Dan, the former commander of the Danyang Army.

At the same time, 380,000 Song troops were transported from Xiangyang City to Dali City in batches, planning to enter Tibet from Yunnan Province, which was to protect the whole army.

In view of the unscrupulous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court specially assigned Yue Fei, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, to temporarily rush to command this Song army. In view of the fact that there is still a deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Chen Yucheng, Yue Fei left for the time being, and he was unharmed.

Under the command of the famous general Li Tao, the 500,000 Tang army was transported from Chang'an City to Chengdu in batches, and entered Tibet from Shu Province, which was the main force of the whole army.

Similarly, the 500,000 Qin army, under the command of the divine general Wang Qian, set out from Xianyang City, traveled all the way west, entered Xihai Province, and then entered Tibet, which was the right wing of the whole army.

The two major field armies in the Northwest Theater commanded by Li Jing are the reserve units of the whole army.

In order to let these two million troops go to the front line willingly, Ouyang Shuo said in advance whether the soldiers can be incorporated into the regular army of Great Xia in the future, whether the generals can be reused, and what position they hold depends on the performance of this battle.

For those who died in battle, their families will receive a bereavement pension according to the standard of the regular army of Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo even went to the major camps in person and said frankly, "The surrender of the four countries is the people's back, the trend of the times, and it is not the fault of the others." You may be unconvinced, or unwilling, and you can't be ashamed of the battlefield. In this case, the battle of Tibet is your chance to prove yourself, whether it is a dragon or a worm, it all depends on this battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officers and men of the army were moved.

In the past month or so, the gossip about how the imperial court will settle their surrendered troops has not been broken, and the most popular one is that the imperial court is going to dismiss them all.

In this regard, the soldiers were naturally not convinced.

Especially the surrender of the Qin and Tang Dynasties, they thought that they were no worse than the regular army of Great Xia, but they had no chance to fight on the battlefield. To tell the truth, the soldiers were not without resentment in their hearts.

Right now, the court has given them a chance to prove themselves.

"This time it is not a civil war in China, but a battle with foreign armies, I hope that you can fight bravely on the battlefield, raise the prestige of my China, and also earn the last glory for your homeland." Ouyang Shuo said.

This time, the corners of the soldiers' eyes were moist.

The army had a duty to defend the territory, and they were ashamed that they had failed to do so, as the last barrier of the dynasty. It is reported that when the news of Qin Shi Huang's death reached the army, 500,000 Qin troops collectively burst into tears, and the cry shook the sky.

That kind of scene is enough to move anyone.

Therefore, after learning the news that the imperial court asked them to go on an expedition to Tibet, the 500,000 Qin troops did not think about it at all, and all of them had high morale, and they were bound to defend the glory of the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf Division on the battlefield of Tubo.

A large part of the soldiers are even ready to see death as home.

Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that a veteran of the Qin army said: "It is the regret of our life that we cannot accompany His Majesty the King of Qin to die, and now we can only live up to the name of the Qin army by throwing this stump on the battlefield." ”

The Great Qin Tiger Wolf, even if it appeared in the wilderness not long ago, still has unyielding pride and iron bones.

"Strong, Great Qin!" Ouyang Shuo personally raised his glass to see off the Great Qin soldiers, and said with emotion: "I don't want you to die on the battlefield, I just hope that you will pass on this Great Qin style and bone and integrate it into the Great Xia bloodline." Don't forget, we are one, we have a common home, its name, is Huaxia. ”

"!"

Ouyang Shuo drank it all and slammed the bowl on the ground, crisp and sound.

"It's done, Your Majesty!"

With tears in the corners of his eyes, the soldiers of Daqin were arrogant, and they also drank it all and threw the bowl to the ground. Even Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, who were present, were moved.

This His Majesty is not only called Qin Shi Huang, but also Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo used his extraordinary personal charm to conquer this group of iron-blooded men in one fell swoop, making them go to the battlefield willingly.

The scene of that day was so shocking that Ouyang Shuo would never forget it for the rest of his life.

In fact, it has been flowing in the blood of every Chinese son and daughter, as long as the family and country are in trouble, it will burst out with the power to make the enemy fearful.

Born as a Chinese, Ouyang Shuo was proud all his life.

…………

More than 2 million troops, covering the four countries, are mixed, there are generous and sad people, and naturally there are people who are timid and afraid of war, and even have resentment towards Great Xia.

For such a group of people, the imperial court made two preparations.

First, of course, the Flying Bear Army and the Eagle Yang Army in the Northwest Theater are the reserve of the whole army on the surface, but in fact they are the law enforcement team and supervision brigade of the whole army.

Those who refuse to fight to the death will not be forgiven.

Second, it's their family.

Two million soldiers went out on the expedition, and their families were still in the Central Plains, if they dared to act recklessly or disobey orders, don't blame the court and their families.

With such a bargaining chip, you don't have to worry about soldiers not fighting.

After retreating 10,000 steps, after returning to Great Xia, they were already considered Great Xia soldiers. As a soldier, it is a matter of course to go to war for the country, and there should be no complaints.

The Battle of Tubo was a dignified battle, and it was not really a pure death.

The imperial court has long said that this war is the same as other wars, and killing the enemy on the battlefield will count the merits of the battle, and you can get the corresponding rewards.

The difference is that this war is probably more brutal.

But cruelty is the norm on the battlefield, and on the day they enlist, they should have a clear understanding of this. So, in essence, the soldiers really have nothing to complain about.

The imperial court has done so much work in the hope that the two million troops on the expedition can show the spirit they should have, fight this battle well, and lay the foundation for the empire to dominate the Asian continent.

It's not that it's a group of demoralized softballs who want to go on the expedition, and if they really want to do that, they won't go to consume the Ashoka Dynasty, but to send experience to the enemy army.

For this battle, the imperial court can be regarded as a broken bone.

Not to mention the transmission cost of nearly two million gold coins, compared to other expenses, this can only be regarded as a small amount of money. The biggest consumption is the transportation of grain and grass materials of such a scale.

At the same time, it has to be sent to a dangerous place like Tubo, and the cost is not ordinarily high.

Then there is the predictable, astronomical death pension, from the attitude of the Ashoka Dynasty, it can be slightly predicted that the intensity of the battle of Tibet will be fierce, and there are by no means a few people who died in battle.

If there is no war, the imperial court only needs to pay a retirement payment, and after they retire, they can still contribute to the construction of the empire.

This one in and one out, the accounts are almost a little unclear.
