Chapter 1308: Old Turtle
Same as Bianliang City.
The movement of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and the entry and exit of heavy vehicles, are very frequent.
But unlike Bianliang City, few of the wealthy families in Chang'an City fled.
Compared with Bianliang City, Chang'an is more advantageous in terms of topography. Therefore, the city is full of traffic, people come and go, and it is still prosperous and lively.
Chang'an General Army Yamen.
The soldiers are stubborn, or standing guard, or patrolling, and the spirit of slaughter soars into the sky.
In the study room, the atmosphere is relaxed.
Lu Jing crossed Erlang's legs and sat on a chair drinking tea.
He is very handsome, with a face like a crown of jade, three long beards, a slender figure, a thin figure, a Confucian shirt, and a black square scarf on his head, looking like a learned Confucian.
"It's still Sichuan's bamboo leaf green, it's delicious." Lu Jing finished drinking the tea, put down the teacup, squinted his eyes, and sat down to taste it.
He is a native of Sichuan and comes from a large family. Playing children was cultivated as a scholar, and reading was not bad, so he had the opportunity to be in the imperial examination.
Later, he joined the army by chance, and he did a good job. I traveled all over the country and fought with the southwest toast for more than ten years, which was very hard.
But it has always been thousands of soldiers, and petty fights. Until Xiong Wuself, he dug him out of the ravine and became the general soldier of Chang'an, one of the four towns.
Everything else is easy to say, but it's a little unaccustomed to life.
On weekdays, I drink Sichuan tea from Sichuan, and the cooks around me are also chefs brought from Sichuan.
"General. A message from the Bianliang Army. The subordinate officer walked in from outside, holding the official letter in his hand.
Lu Jing was not in a hurry, he took a deep breath first, and then slowly stretched out his hand to take the official letter and open it to watch.
After reading it, Lu Jing put down the official letter and said, "Wang Baxian is a talent. ”
"General, what's going on?" The subordinate officer asked curiously.
"Wang Ba first led his troops across the river, broke through a city, and came back safe and sound." Lu Jing said.
"Shhhhh The officer's eyes widened suddenly, and he gasped.
"The current Hebei is like an iron bucket operated by Wu Nian. General Wang's courage is really extraordinary. ”
After the subordinate official settled down, he sighed with emotion.
Lu Jing smiled slightly, and then changed the topic: "Originally, Wu Nian was strong and strong, sharpening his knives. He's making a fuss. Wu Nian will definitely send troops. ”
"Pull a whole body. We can't be left alone. ”
Hearing this, the subordinate officer became serious, clenched his fists and said, "General." Do you want to summon the generals to consult? ”
"Not necessarily. Let's be calm. Our layout is already good. No need to negotiate, no need to make adjustments. Even if you want to adjust, let's talk about it after Wu Nian's soldiers really come to the city. ”
"Still. The fact that Wang Ba won first can be publicized in the army. ”
"Boost morale."
Lu Jing waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The subordinate bent down in response, turned and went down.
"Huh." Lu Jing smiled, moved the tea cup on the desk to the corner, then unfolded a piece of paper, sharpened the ink by himself, and wrote leisurely.
Lu Jing fights and is not particularly powerful.
But the character is fixed, and he is called "land tortoise".
Xiong Wuwu put him in Chang'an, Shaanxi, because he took a fancy to his calmness.
Don't panic when you encounter something.
.............
Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Zhang Wu and Xiong Wuwu had lunch together in the palace, and then they began to study the map together, and did not speak for a long time.
Unlike other places, after receiving the message.
Wang Baxian reported to the imperial court before sending troops.
After Emperor Zhangwu and Xiong Wuwu learned the news, they realized that they were going to war.
"Xiong Qing. You said. Where will Wu Nian attack? Emperor Zhang Wu retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Xiong Wudao.
"If it's me. Either attack Jinan, or attack Chang'an. A long snake formation, head, tail. But Wu Nian is hard to say. This person is good at surprise, and he may also attack Luoyang and Bianliang. ”
"Now the imperial court can't prepare in advance, it can only rely on the front-line general troops to take over the first wave of Wu's attack, so that the situation can be clear and the imperial court can target the transfer of troops."
"But there's a point. The imperial court must be fully prepared. First mobilize the militia and the elite and train them a little. When the battle damage is in front, it can be made up immediately. ”
Xiong Wuwu raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"That makes sense. It is possible for Wu Nian to attack anywhere. Emperor Zhang Wu sighed and reached out to rub his temples.
Wu Nian is a person who often uses soldiers by surprise.
It's not just about being brave and fighting.
After settling down, Emperor Zhangwu returned to the throne and sat down, and after taking a few sips of tea from the teacup, he said, "The Yellow River defense line." I'm not particularly worried. What I'm worried about now is whether Wang Baxian can come back. ”
"If he doesn't come back. Although Chen Mingzhi can be on top, he is not as good as him. ”
Xiong Wuwu bowed slightly, very much in agreement. After a while, he said: "Since ancient times, extraordinary people have done extraordinary things. ”
"God has endowed Wang Baxian with extraordinary courage and martial arts. So he dared to lead hundreds of troops, cross the Yellow River, and go deep into Hebei alone. ”
"If he can win, it will boost the morale of the government and the opposition."
"Hmm." Emperor Zhang Wu nodded in deep agreement.
Morale is important.
Since the fall of the national capital, there has been no good news.
Even a small victory can be written about.
Greatly boosted morale.
That's when it happened. A eunuch ran in with a roll, panted and handed Emperor Zhang Wu a fold, and gasped: "Your Majesty." The good news of the Bianliang army. ”
"General Wang won a great victory in Hebei, beheaded the thief Han Pingling County Order, crossed the Yellow River, and returned to the Central Plains."
"Okay." Emperor Zhang Wu stood up, couldn't help but scream, and then stretched out his hand to take the fold and open it to watch, overjoyed.
"Haha. Wang Baxian is this kid, and he really has two hits. Let him kill out, and kill back. Hahaha. Xiong Wuwu changed his composure as a second assistant, and laughed wantonly.
"Reward. Immediately issued an order, rewarding Wang Baxian with 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 horses of splendor. After Emperor Zhang Wu was overjoyed for a while, he raised his head and said to Xiong Wume.
"Yes." The bear replied without me.
The decree was issued. This news also spread throughout the Chu State. It made the hearts of the people of Chu cohesive and morale.
Meanwhile. With the cooperation of Xiong Wuwu and Emperor Zhang Wu, the court of Chu requisitioned and trained the people of various provinces.
Prepare for war.
It's going to war!!
At the same time, the Han Dynasty also struck according to plan.
The first hand was not that Wu Nian personally led the troops into battle, but a real smokescreen.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
The actions of the Han Dynasty suddenly drew the attention of the Chu State to Pingling City.
