Chapter 49: Set off for Han Chu City
Chapter 49: Set off for Han Chu City
Not to mention whether Gonggong Zhang detected the news of the excavation of the Broken Soul River, even if he didn't find out, Li Tang also made up his mind to attack Feng Cheng after seeing the strength of Qiong Ming's army!
In the evening and dusk, Li Tangcai and Qin Qiong had a detailed discussion alone, because it was deep in the mountains and forests, the conditions were simple, and the troops summoned were just carrying necessary things.
Inside the simple and monotonous tent, a few oil lamps emitted a pale yellow halo, and the lights shone brightly, shining on Li Tang and Qin Qiong, stretching their shadows very long.
"General Qin, now that the Qingxiao Kingdom is in flames, the heroes are competing for the deer, you can do whatever it takes to win, I can't control the rest of the places, but the people of Qingtian County, I must ensure that their lives are stable, so it is imperative to attack Fengcheng!"
The lights flickered, and a hint of murder appeared on Li Tang's handsome face.
"My lord, my subordinates think that we must expand our strength and territory, and in the decisive battle in the future, we can take the first step, after capturing Fengcheng, we can wave our army to the north, open up the territory, occupy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and reign over the world!"
Qin Qiong said excitedly, the courtiers are loyal, they should create a prosperous country for the king, and share their worries for the king!
What is a prosperous country?
The territory is wide, the whole world is not the king's land, the politics are clear, the coast of the land is not the king's minister, the economy is developed, the merchants in the four seas are passing, the agriculture is prosperous, and the people in the countryside and fields are rich!
This is the pursuit of every monarch and courtier, which has been passed down through the ages, starting from a single step, rising to Qianmo, and now Li Tang is in Qianmo, only by seizing the opportunity can he achieve the hegemony of the emperor.
After Li Tang heard this, he fell into deep thought, he was too cautious, he wanted to be completely sure of everything he did, and he was not willing to take risks, this kind of thinking was in line with the long-term way of the peaceful and prosperous times, but not the way of rising in the troubled times.
And Qin Qiong's words just played the role of the finishing touch, making him reflect in his heart and gradually make up his mind: "Okay, I agree with your opinion, go to Han Chu City tomorrow, and discuss the counterattack on Weidong County." ”
"No!"
Qin Qiong nodded happily, chatted for a while, and then withdrew, today Li Tang arrived, of course he didn't dare to live in the handsome tent.
The next day, before dawn, the sun was hazy, sprinkled a little morning sun, Li Tang put on his armor and walked out of the tent, and saw that there were busy soldiers everywhere, preparing to dismantle the tent, and eat breakfast, which looked very unusual.
"Lord, you are up! Yesterday I told them that I was going to the battlefield, and they were very excited, and they began to pack up early in the morning. After Qin Qiong saw Li Tang get up, he walked over and said.
"Well, the spirit is commendable!" Li Tang said with a smile.
Two hours later, Li Tang rode a war horse and marched towards Han Chu City with the army, and the extended troops marched out of the Fengluo Mountain Range to a long dragon, I don't know how long.
After the marching to the official road, the merchants walking around, after the pedestrians saw the army, the Tang character on it, the military flag of Qiongming caused everyone's attention.
"Tiger and Wolf Division, when will I have another strong army in Qingtian County?" one of the pedestrians asked curiously.
"I don't know! And the direction of the march is Han Chucheng, I heard that the war in Han Chucheng has just ended, and now that he is going to increase the army, will he fight again?"
"Alas! Who knows! Those princes and generals, in order to compete for the world, who will care about our life or death, our Qingtian County is fine, I heard from distant relatives that they not only have to serve in the military, but also have to bear heavy taxes, and their families can't even afford to eat!
"Yes, with the lord here, it's really a great luck for Qingtian County!"
The people began to talk about it and began to lament their luck.
Xing, the people are bitter, chaos, the people are even more bitter!
After two days of marching, Li Tang came to Han Chu City, and when he saw the heavily guarded city gate, the people who came out of the city were strictly inquired.
"See the lord!"
Zhao Yun took Han Chucheng's big and small officials to the city gate to greet Li Tang, and it was not difficult to find that when Zhao Yun saw the banner behind Li Tang, the big word "Qiongming", a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared!
"Zilong, you prepare the garrison of the Qiong Ming Army, and we will talk in detail later. Li Tang said with a smile, of course he saw the envy that flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he began to think about the next number in his heart.
"Got it, lord!"
Zhao Yun nodded and began to order!
Li Tang took Qiong Ming and a few people into the city, looked at the people welcoming on both sides of the road, and bowed respectfully when they saw him!
"See the county hall!"
In just four words, Li Tang's heart was both happy and heavy, happy was the people's love for him, and heavy was because of the responsibility in his heart.
If you want to carry its crown, you must bear its weight;
If you want to get on this seat, you must do your duty!
With the support of all the people, Li Tang greeted him while moving forward, and it took twice as long to rush to the City Lord's Mansion, even if he entered the City Lord's Mansion, the number of onlookers outside did not decrease at all.
"Holy Virtue and Virtuous Monarch!"
Qin Qiong, who was following behind Li Tang, saw the fanatical appearance of the people, and four words involuntarily appeared in his heart, and only these four words could describe his lord.
In the city lord's mansion, where political affairs are discussed, four tables are placed, on which a pot of fragrant tea is brewed, exuding a faint and elegant fragrance, and a red sandalwood peacock incense burner is placed on the side of the table, exuding incense, filling the whole room.
Just after drinking two cups of tea with Qin Qiong, I saw Zhao Yun walk in, things like arranging the garrison of Qiong Ming's army, he didn't need to do it personally, so he came back so quickly.
After saluting, Zhao Yun stared at Qin Qiong, with a battle intent in his eyes, this is the fighting spirit when meeting an opponent in chess.
Similarly, Qin Qiong's eyes when he looked at Zhao Yun were also fiery, and his fighting spirit was high, which made the atmosphere in the room solidify and quietly change.
Li Tang also sensed the change in the atmosphere, and just as he was about to be born, he heard Zhao Yun say: "You are very strong, you have time for a military exercise." ”
A military exercise is a kind of tactical exercise in which each side takes an army and confronts each other under various conditions, so as to judge the command and military capabilities of both sides.
"Well, when the war is over, we'll fight. Qin Qiong also said solemnly.
Both of them are top generals, each with their own arrogance, of course, they want to distinguish between high and low, so they are unwilling to take a step back in the face of each other's challenges.
"Hmph, I called you over, not to let you fight, but to let you cooperate, the two of you work together, to assist me in completing the grand plan. ”
Seeing that the breath of the two of them was becoming more and more clever, Li Tang's face was cold, and he scolded loudly, which shocked the two of them, and hurriedly saluted and said:
"Subordinates know their mistakes!"
Seeing that the two of them admitted their mistakes, Li Tang's face softened, and he said calmly: "Knowing the mistake can improve the greatness, I hope this kind of thing will not happen again." ”
Zhao Yun and Qin Qiong nodded, their eyes staring again, revealing a kind smile.
Meditate, the sea and the sky!
