1042 Lost Son of Heaven
Gao Guiyan's idea was quite a bit of a desire to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, but as soon as he put it forward, he immediately won the voice of several kings and ministers.
A sense of security is a scarce resource that everyone needs, in the past, the Northern Qi Dynasty was at its peak and had a rare opponent of equal strength, and the demand for this was not very urgent, but now it is attacked by a strong enemy, and the sense of distress naturally increases sharply.
Although the Heluo side will invest 100,000 troops to stop the Wei army, it is really difficult to predict the outcome of the battle. And once the situation that Gao Guiyan said happens, it will be a huge threat to the safety of Yedu! Even if the probability of it happening is small, as long as it is possible, it must be taken seriously!
It must be known that Yedu does not have an excellent geographical advantage like Jinyang, its city is located on the flat and vast Hebei Plain, surrounded by rare mountains and rivers, if there is no strong garrison force to defend here, once the enemy army lands in Hebei somewhere in Henan, the turmoil caused by the situation around Yedu will be catastrophic!
Even Jinyang City, which itself was heavily garrisoned and suppressed by mountains and rivers, was directly invaded by Li Boshan back then, and then ransacked and left!
It is true that Jinyang was the largest military town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Yedu was also the real national capital and administrative center, and once Yedu was attacked, the rule of the entire Northern Qi state would be shaken. Moreover, the kings of the Gao clan and the ministers and courtiers are all in Yedu, and of course they also hope that the safety of Yedu can be guaranteed.
Collecting 100,000 horses was not difficult for Northern Qi. Although the results of several battles a few years ago were not satisfactory and a large number of soldiers were lost, the Northern Qi controlled the most densely populated area in the world, and the thick foundation could withstand the toss, otherwise it would not have continued to maintain high-intensity conscription in the past two years.
However, if it is necessary to assemble 100,000 divisions and brigades in a short period of time, it is still relatively difficult. It takes a certain period for people and horses to be summoned in Jizhou, and tens of thousands of Han warriors are stationed in Youzhou and other places, but if these people are recalled to the mainland, it will cause border loopholes. Ku Moxi and the others have always been disrespectful, if they perceive the emptiness of the Northern Qi border defense, they will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob the internal invasion.
After a few counts, if you want to put these 100,000 divisions and brigades in place in a short time, the most convenient and fast way is to directly recruit Jinyang soldiers. The Jinyang soldiers themselves live directly in a cadre city around Jinyang, and they can be dispatched with a paper order, eliminating the need to convene and levy the process again, and the Jinyang soldiers are the most elite armed forces group in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so such a big war naturally cannot be absent.
However, the number of Jinyang soldiers is only a hundred thousand, and not all of them are on standby, still undertaking different suppression tasks and defending all parties, in fact, Jinyang can only directly call on the early seventy or eighty thousand people. If you take into account that Jinyang itself also needs to keep a part of the troops stationed, then the troops that can be called upon at the moment are even less.
"This battle itself was the second enemy, not a one-time battle. At present, the divisions and brigades between Heluo and Luo are enough to hinder the advance of the Qiang Division, and then we can see how the battle situation is, and we can increase the troops one after another. The Jinyang division and brigade can send 30,000 at the moment, and the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers led by the ministers to return to the court this time can go to Heyang to garrison first. After that, we will continue to recruit people and horses to gather in Yedu for follow-up, and it is not too late."
Of course, Duan Shao did not agree with the statement that Gao Guiyan and others advocated that all the armies must be in place immediately, because of this change, their Northern Qi was originally a passive response to the enemy, and they were in the back hand in terms of preparing for operations, and they could recruit and deploy troops in an orderly and step-by-step manner, and if they were too hasty, they would cause a lot of unnecessary disturbances to the country.
"Yes, Xu Yan's army gathered to fight, which originally had the effect of trapping the tiger prison and preventing thieves from fleeing eastward. If you are worried that Ye is unstable, the Jinyang Division and Brigade can go to Pingyang first, and if the battle in Heluo is really unfavorable, it will not be too late for Shima to follow the Wusu Road to the east of Fukou!"
But although Zhu Hunyuan often muttered in his heart every time he fought with Li Boshan, and he couldn't help but make conservative measures, he also felt that before the victory or defeat of the Heluo war, there was no need to worry too much about the safety of Yedu.
Although Li Boshan uses soldiers like a god, he is not a god after all, even if he wins again in Heluo, it is difficult to lead the army to cross the Yellow River and enter Hebei. Jinyang's men and horses can go to Jinju first to stand by, and it is not too late to attack after seeing the situation is not good.
But his voice here has not fallen, and today is a bit of a rhythm with him
Xian said again: "If the matter must be out of the Jinyang Division, it should be planned as soon as possible. Stopped in Jinju, did not advance or retreat, and only increased the worry. Moreover, the old disaster of Jinyang must not be forgotten, the Turkic Wuzun Khan is quite borrowed, and it is unknown whether he will take the opportunity to commit it this time, what does the Fufeng King want to leave the Jinyang division and brigade to be idle?"
"So what do you think I'm up to? Your father has brought you up many years, and has not taught you who I am."
Anyone who is repeatedly squeezed will inevitably be unhappy, not to mention that Zhu Hunyuan is a person of the same generation as Hu Lujin, and when he heard Hu Luxian's words, he couldn't help the anger in his heart, glared at Hu Luxian and said angrily: "When the old man entered the country with righteousness, he traveled thousands of miles without tireless work, although the black otter was fierce, it was difficult to stop me, and now he is not tolerated by Hu Luxian, and evil words hurt me!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was busy and persuaded each other, Duan Shao stepped forward to grab Hu Luxian, who was still waiting to stare and refute, and kept pulling him out of the hall, which was considered to have temporarily calmed down the quarrel.
But today's meeting is destined not to be calm, just when everyone is still discussing the details of the conscription garrison, suddenly another urgent report to the Ye Palace: Xu Du of the Southern Dynasty led the army from Jingkou to the north, and led the army to harass Guangling.
At this time, only half a month has passed since Sima eliminated the rebellion in Juzhou, and even if the Western Wei Dynasty conspired with Nan Chen, the time was not enough at all. Therefore, Nan Chen's invasion must have come out of his own ideas, and this is even more of a headache.
Since Nan Chen took the initiative to invade the Huainan region, it means that there are no other disturbances in his country to interfere with his military operations, and it also reflects Nan Chen's desire for the land of Huainan, and he immediately crossed the river to attack when the situation in the country eased slightly.
Therefore, it also means that if Nan Chen knows more about the current situation in the north, he will inevitably invest more troops to attack, hoping to recover the territory of Huainan while the Northern Qi is overwhelmed.
Now, Feng Zihui, who is sitting in Xiapi with the southeast road Xingtai Shangshu and the East Xuzhou Thorn History, sent a message to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can transfer Qingxu and other prefectures to settle in Pengcheng and other places, so as to prevent the southerners from invading the Huaibei lands.
When this news came into the temple, all the people in the temple looked at each other. Originally, they were still thinking about transferring the troops from Shandong to Henan, but before the order could be issued, Nan Chen had already invaded Huainan, which inevitably gave people a sense of embarrassment that they were overstretched and the wall was falling down and everyone was pushing.
However, this is also not to blame Nan Chen, not to mention that there is no morality between countries, and the coercion, oppression and aggression carried out by the Northern Qi Dynasty against the Southern Dynasty when it took advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty was also very deep. Now that he is no longer strong, it is natural for him to be retaliated against.
"It's just a few islands, and you dare to offend a big country!"
After Gao Yang heard about this situation, the emotions that he had been suppressing suddenly became a little uncontrollable, and he roared angrily directly, and when his eyes fell on the faces of the ministers in the palace, he shouted angrily: "No matter what kind of private plans you have, now that the Qiang thieves and Daoyi have attacked me one after another, if you can't break the enemy, you may not be rich for a long time!" It may be difficult for me to kill the head of a thief, but it is not a disadvantage to kill the incompetent in my country!"
"The ministers will do their best to defend the land and serve the country!"
When all the people heard this, they all bowed their heads and said.
Because there was such a variable as Nan Chen's invasion of Huainan, although it was not enough to affect the core of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it made the dispatch of people and horses south of the Yellow River a little inconvenient. Therefore, when the next plan was made, the scope of the requisition and dispatch of people and horses could only be limited to between Hebei and Jinyang.
First of all, the Jinyang side first mobilized 50,000 troops to enter Hebei quickly, of which 20,000 were stationed in Yedu to assist the forbidden army in strengthening the defense of Yedu, and the others went straight to Heyang under the leadership of Duan Shao to strengthen the river defense, so that the number of men and horses below Heyang who could be put into battle reached 120,000.
At the same time, Hebei Jizhou, Dingzhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou and other places requisitioned 100,000 horses in the follow-up, and continued to use them to reinforce the front line and defend the two capitals. With the transfer of the army in Jinyang, the defense was inevitably empty, and the Qi lord Gao Yang moved to Jinyang to sit in the town, and Changshan Wang Gao Yan led the governor of Gyeonggi to stay in Yedu.
With the determination of the plan to deal with the enemy, various orders were also issued quickly, and after signing several important military orders, Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, returned to the inner palace to prepare to move to Jinyang.
After withdrawing from the East Cabinet, there had been little presence in the previous meetings
Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, caught up with Gao Yan, stepped forward and whispered, "Sixth brother, when you see the prescription prepared by Xu, is it as simple as being drunk and evil?"
Gao Yan's expression suddenly froze after hearing this, and he frowned and said, "I don't understand medical science, how can I know the truth or falsehood. Besides, at that time, I was worried about the Supreme, and I didn't see anything in my heart. At the moment when a strong enemy is coming, the people in the country are panicking, and you must remember not to act willfully!"
When Gao Zhan heard this, he laughed in a low voice, "How dare I act recklessly? Even the Supreme, heh, I thought that our two brothers were strong and brave, and they should be fearless in this world, but they were forced to become the son of heaven by the Qiang thief. Now that the army is going to fight Heluo, what is there in Jinyang that is worthy of the supreme guard? It's nothing more than greedy for leisure and safety!
Haha, I think it's a bit wrong for you and the masses to just talk about the situation in Heluo? That Li Boshan's article has not yet been published, who knows where he will attack? If I were him, I would know that the masses here would gather their divisions and travel in Heluo, why bother to come again, wouldn't it be better to attack Jinyang? Could it be that Li Boshan is related to Sima and must come to the rescue?"
"Don't you talk about it, I'm also in a depressed mood today, and I have to patrol and arrange the defense of Gyeonggi!"
Gao Yan knew that this younger brother was out of his mind, sometimes very shrewd, sometimes very ridiculous, so he didn't take his gossip to heart, waved goodbye and returned to his official office.
While summoning the Gyeonggi Praetorian Guard to meet him, he frowned and groaned, picked up and put down the brush on the case, and finally waved the pen and quickly folded the paper, summoned his henchmen to stuff the paper into his hand, and whispered, "Give it to Dr. Wang, and let him enter the market carefully."
After doing this, Gao Yancai wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and continued to sit upright and wait.
