Chapter 403: Heading North

"Your Majesty, the flying pigeon in Beijing has passed the book, the emperor has issued an order to King Qin, calling on all the soldiers and horses in the world to go to the capital to resist the Mobei army, the envoy has left Beijing, and it is expected that the news will soon reach Jiazhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"In the school field in Jiazhou, Li You, who was supervising the training of soldiers, got the news that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Bo Fu, you're in charge of the rest of the training." After that, Li You is going to go back to the house with Sima Cuo to discuss with Yao Guangxiao and others, King Qin is definitely going to go, but how many people to take, when to go, and from that route are all particular, although they have made detailed plans before, but in the end they still have to make a decision.

"General, you have to take me with you in this battle!" Fighting with those thieves of the Mixed Yuan Sect was completely unable to satisfy Zhou Bofu, and now as soon as he heard that the Mobei tribes had gone south again, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Don't worry, this battle is indispensable for you and your Modao team." gave him an affirmative answer, leaving the excited Zhou Bofu here, and Li You and Sima returned to the earl's mansion.

Yao Guangxiao, Li Lingyue, Xu Guang and Fan Li also got the news, and hurried here to wait, without too many greetings, Li You directly said his decision, "From now on, reorganize the army, prepare grain and grass ships, and go north to King Qin in three days." ”

"But at present, the order of King Qin has not yet been conveyed to Jiazhou, is it a little early for us to leave?" Li Lingyue questioned, "If there is no Qinwang Order, the prefectures and counties along the way will not supply us with grain and grass." ”

"If you count on them, you won't be able to go to the capital next year." Li You sneered, he was extremely clear about the virtues of the magistrates of Great Wei now, so he simply didn't count on them, "With Mr. Fan's preparations along the road, it is enough to support the army to arrive in the capital, so there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass." ”

"The poor monk also thinks that it is too early for the lord to go to the capital now." Yao Guangxiao squinted his triangular eyes and said, but his reasons were completely different from Li Lingyue's, "The lord has trained his troops well, and the speed of the army is far higher than that of other armies of the Great Wei, and it may not take long to reach the capital, and at that time it was a critical time for the Mobei army to besiege the capital; It is not easy for the lord to train his troops, and it would be a pity to bury these soldiers and horses under the capital. ”

Yao Guangxiao actually hoped that Li You would arrive near the battlefield after the capital was breached, and at that time, the Mobei tribes had experienced a big war, and there would be a lot of losses, coupled with the huge gains from the capital, which would make them lose the desire to fight hard again, so that Li You could relatively easily brush up a wave of prestige without suffering too much loss. As for the emperor? If he died, Great Wei would inevitably become torn apart, which would be more beneficial for Li You to seize the world.

"Now the morale of the Mobei tribes is flourishing, and they have taken the strongest city in the world without spending a single soldier, if the capital can't stop them, maybe they will immediately go south, which is also not good for us." Sima Cuo retorted, judging from the current situation, it doesn't matter whether the capital can hold it or not, the important thing is that you must take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Mobei tribes, and to achieve this goal, it is not enough to rely on the capital's own strength, "Now the only thing that the Great Wei can compete with the Mobei tribes is the king and the Hedong thief ambassador Zhang Guo, but Zhang Guo only has 30,000 troops under his command, and he can't stop the Mobei tribes. ”

Although Yao Guangxiao was familiar with the art of war, he had a thorough understanding of Sima Cuo, who had not commanded tens of thousands of troops in the war, although they were all for the interests of Li You, but because of the difference in expertise and perspective, there were differences.

"What Mr. Sima said is that in the past two years, the Mobei tribes have defeated the Great Wei one after another, and if they don't teach them some lessons, maybe the Great Wei army will lose the courage to confront them in the future." In two years, 400,000 soldiers were lost, and the Mobei tribes became as terrible as the Jurchens in the hearts of the Ming army in the hearts of the Great Wei soldiers, and it was for this reason that Longcheng fell in the wind, so at this time, someone must stand up and give them a head-on blow, just like Yue Fei defeated the Jin people to reawaken the courage of the Central Plains people to fight against these barbarians.

This matter does not seem to have direct benefits to Li You at first glance, but in the long run, it must be done, as long as there is a big victory, it will break the myth of the invincibility of the Mobei tribes, arouse more people to have the courage to confront the Mobei tribes, and it will also win Li You great prestige.

"In this way, the lord can rest assured that he will go north, there are poor monks and Mr. Fan in Jiazhou and Yunzhou, and there will definitely be no problems." Now that Li You has made a decision, Yao Guangxiao no longer insists.

"That's very good, you should hurry up and get ready these days, and in three days, the county lord, Mr. Sima, and Mr. Xu will go north with me." Immediately, Li You made arrangements based on the results of the previous discussions.

Jiazhou and Yunzhou suddenly became busy, and a large number of soldiers and horses continued to gather by the river, and Qian Hua's fleet also seized the time to repair the ships and prepare for transporting soldiers, and Gu Jiangzi's workshop was constantly building armor and weapons day and night...... Both states are working hard for the big army.

Three days later, 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry under the leadership of Li You set out on the road to the north of King Qin, the infantry took the Qian family's boat down the Jiashui River, and arrived at the capital through the canal north, and the cavalry will go north along the river with the infantry, just to take this opportunity to exercise their riding skills.

Although there are cavalry training methods learned from Chen Qingzhi, Wei Qing and the Xuanjia cavalry, the training time of these soldiers is still a little short after all, so Li You hopes to use the last time before the big war to make them more mature, so that the battle with the Mobei tribes will have a better chance of winning in the future.

The 15,000 army crossed the border, and the magistrates along the way who had not yet received the order of King Qin were frightened, for fear of angering Li You and causing some trouble, but fortunately, Li You had no intention of dealing with them now, just extorted a little money and food.

After more than ten days of trekking, the army came to the territory of Qiantang, Li You came to the Qian Mansion and Qian Sa had a long talk, afterwards Qian Sa called Qian Hua over to tell him carefully, and when the army set off again, there were more than 3,000 canal soldiers in the team who regarded the Qian family as a treasure.

From Qiantang along the canal to the north, within a few days the army came to King Fu's fiefdom, Li You asked Sima Cuo and Qian Hua to continue to lead the army forward, while he stayed with Li Lingyue and Xu Guang.

"In the past, when I was in the capital, the county lord and King Fu had dealings, so this time the county lord will come forward first." Li You, who should be dressed as an ordinary scribe, said to Li Lingyue. (To be continued.) )
