Chapter 240: Visiting Hua Tuozi
The soldiers went out to fight Jiangnan for the Great Sui, and Yang Guang planned to see him off in person. Even, he prepared a set of battle robes in private. As for Hua Tuozi's side, after sending off the soldiers, you can go again.
That night, the barracks were lit with fire, and the soldiers were making a series of preparations for the expedition.
Soldiers and horses, grain and grass are indispensable.
Yang Guang did not stipulate the specific number of soldiers in the court, Sima Dejiao discussed with Luo Cheng and others for most of the night, and finally decided to bring 20,000 soldiers and horses over.
Of the 20,000 soldiers and horses, 15,000 were the original soldiers and horses of the Great Sui, and the other 5,000 were brought by Wagangzhai.
This is still the initiative of Wagangzhai to ask for it.
They have just joined the Great Sui, and they know in their hearts that if they don't make some achievements, it will be difficult for the civil and military officials of the Great Sui to eliminate their prejudices. Therefore, this time he sent troops and generals again, in fact, he was also showing his attitude.
I believe that after this battle, the gap between Wagangzhai and Dasui should be much less than now.
On the other hand, although Laihu'er was no longer among the expeditions, he was not idle, and was specifically responsible for food and grass. However, on the side of the granary, Yang Guang had already been instructed to open the door for this battle.
The grain in the granary, how much they want, even if the granary is half empty, it doesn't matter.
After all, if these grains are not used, they will rot in the granary sooner or later.
Such a scene undoubtedly made Lai Hu'er envious and extreme, he has fought countless battles over the years, but he has never encountered such a rich battle, especially military rations, which expedition is not every day looking forward to the imperial court can send him more military rations? Like now, there are so many military rations that they can't be eaten.
People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and this sentence also applies to the battlefield.
Having enough food means that they have more time to deal with the enemy, and while reducing casualties, the probability of winning the battle will also be greatly increased.
"It's hard to lose this battle." Lai Hu'er sighed with emotion while directing his subordinates to transport grain and grass.
Only then did he understand why Yang Guang was so anxious to ask for troops to send troops to Jiangnan.
Because, there really is no better time than now.
Even though the battle hadn't really started yet, he seemed to have predicted the end in advance.
After a whole night of sleepless busyness, the next day, 20,000 troops gathered at the city gate, gathered at the city gate, the black pressure of a piece, quite spectacular, originally some people who wanted to go out of the city early to do business, saw this kind of battle, was frightened, did not think about it and retreated into the city.
At this moment, Sima Dejiao, Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao and others were half-kneeling on the ground with awe-inspiring expressions.
In front of them, it was Yang Guang, who was wearing battle armor and wearing a yellow robe behind him.
As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Guang had already come here to wait, he covered his eyes with his hands, stared at the dazzling morning glow in the sky, and then turned around and looked at the three people in front of him with burning eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to tell you that this battle is extremely important to the Great Sui. This is a battle that can only be won but not lost, if you are defeated, not only me, but also the entire Great Sui, will fall into an extremely passive situation. ”
"In the future, not only will I not be able to find a suitable fighter, but Li Yuan is likely to make a desperate bet and overwhelm the border and seize my Jiangdu."
Speaking of this, Yang Guang took a deep breath and roared violently: "So, do you have confidence? ”
"Yes!"
Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao, and Sima Dejiao, as if they were infected by Yang Guang, followed by a thunderous sound.
"And you, do you have faith?" Yang Guang looked at the 20,000 soldiers again.
"Yes!"
The voices of 20,000 soldiers swept into the sky like a flood.
Obviously, there are large areas of flat land around, but there are still bursts of echoes, constantly echoing, and they have lasted for a long, long time.
"Well, then all my hopes will be pinned on you." Yang Guang smiled with relief, it seems that his trip was not in vain, after all, the morale of the soldiers has already been raised.
"Let's go, when you return in triumph, I will still be waiting for you here." Yang Guang stared deeply at everyone.
Sima Dejiao and the others nodded heavily, glanced at each other, resolutely turned over and jumped on the war horse beside them, and then rushed to the front of the soldiers and gave the order to set off.
An army of 20,000 slowly squirmed forward.
After a while, he disappeared from Yang Guang's sight.
"Your Majesty, shall we go back too?" Yang Gonggong whispered.
Yang Guang did not respond, but sighed: "It is a great honor to fight for the country, if I can, I really hope to rush to Jiangnan with them." ”
"Your Majesty's royal expedition, this is not a trivial matter......" Yang Gonggong's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, as if he was afraid that Yang Guang would be hot-headed and set off to chase after the army.
"Don't worry, I won't do that, they have what they have to do, and I have what I have to do." Yang Guang grinned and said, "Okay, let's go back, but instead of going back to the palace, I will go to see Hua Tuozi first." ”
"The old slave knows, so before His Majesty left the palace, the old slave had already prepared his clothes, and His Majesty just needed to find a place to change them." When Yang Gonggong heard this, he handed the package in his hand to Yang Guang.
And Yang Guang didn't twist, he simply changed his clothes on the spot, Yang Gonggong was stunned, and immediately nervously called a group of brocade guards to come over, forming a human wall to cover this scene, for fear that someone would see the naked dragon body.
Half an hour later, Yang Guang, who had already changed his clothes and looked like an ordinary person, stepped on the steps of his six relatives who did not recognize him, and followed Yang Gonggong to visit Hua Tuozi.
Hua Tuozi is well-known in Jiangdu, but he is indeed too low-key, including where he lives, which is quite shabby, but it is just a tiled house.
I even heard that this tiled house will leak rain everywhere in rainy weather, which is extremely unpretentious.
However, the humble accommodation does not stop the popularity of this place.
When Yang Guang arrived here, although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.
On a bluestone path outside the tiled house, there was a dense crowd of people, these people formed a long line, and there was no end in sight, and there were at least hundreds of people in a rough count.
Looking at this posture, if you don't line up for three days and three nights first, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Hua Tuozi's true face.
"Father-in-law Yang, isn't the day I chose not quite right?" Yang Guang's eyelids jumped.
Gonggong Yang was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and wondered: "The old slave inquired before, in front of Hua Tuozi's door, there are generally only hundreds of people queuing up...... How can there be so many today? ”
