Chapter 148: Going North
"The Di people take away my mountains and rivers, deceive my people, I am a great country, the vast Central Plains, how can there be no reason not to fight!"
"Father and brother's ancestors, once for you and me to defend the northern frontier, this time, no matter whether life or death wins or loses, but at the end of the Qingming New Year, when the family sacrifice is announced, you and I will be worthy of our hearts."
"Those who go to the north, please drink a glass together-"
"Roar!"
Outside Dengfeng City, countless figures were crowded, and their faces were full of fighting spirit. Countless wine jars are constantly passed down in the long army.
The cold has not disappeared, but there are budding spring grass, which have withered for a winter, and stubbornly come back to life.
Chen Jing in the crowd took the wine jar handed down in front of him, held it high above his head, and poured it into his mouth proudly. His life is about to begin the second game of abandoning the pen from Rong.
In the crowd of people outside the city, Hu Zun stood at the front, and he was also a little moved, holding up the wine bowl together, and his voice was sad.
"Wu Huzun, a bowl of thin wine, send me 30,000 southern sons, and go to the north to win the battle!"
"Send your sonβ"
Around the corner, many family members who sent each other off finally cried. 30,000 southern troops rushed to Mobei, no one can know, when they return, how many people will be left.
Chen Jing, who was in the crowd, turned his head sharply and looked for Song Yu's direction.
"The owner, it's all over there."
Chen Jing looked sideways and found that Song Yu took a lot of village women and the old and weak, holding a bronze mirror, standing on a low slope to see them off.
According to the ancients, holding the bronze mirror high, you can shine the charm of the world, there is nothing to hide, and Baolangjun has a safe journey.
Chen Jing lowered his head. For a long time, he was tired of running for his life, and in this kind of world, he tried his best to earn a capital to settle down. But many times, it seems that Song Yu is ignored.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao'er, I'll go and talk about it, the uncle is now in the house, and he will definitely help take care of it."
Listening to Xing Xiaojiu's words, Chen Jing nodded.
He is not worried, there is not only Zhu Feng in Zhuangzi, but also in Wuhu County, which is not far away, and Lin Tang, who has just been promoted to Futai. He only hoped that the twenty Zhuang people who followed him on the expedition this time would come back safely.
"Listen to my military orders, the army will dial-"
Lu Xiu, who was the chief general of the Southern Army, said goodbye to Hu Zun, stroked his beard, and finally shouted angrily.
In just a short moment, when the 30,000 southern sons and daughters were just starting to take a step, the intermittent cries around them suddenly resounded in the sky.
"Send me 30,000 southern sons, go to the north to fight, and break the first 3,000 miles!"
There was no long pavilion, no ancient road, and 30,000 Congwu Erlang, under the leadership of Lu Xiu, began to march to the north.
On the march, Chen Jing turned around. The outline of Dengfeng City in the rear, the dense forest of official roads, and the crowd slowly became blurred.
β¦β¦
Capital.
Compared with the recruitment of troops in the south, the call to defend the country in the capital is even higher. Compared with the south, the harm of Di is a little more obvious.
Even to say, it turned out that the land was cut for peace, and the annual tribute of those years was also evenly distributed to the people of several states in Jingyi.
But now, because of the war with Di Guo, these things are gone.
Several official offices in the capital were crowded with people at this time, and the faces of one or two were all resolute. As a citizen of the Central Plains Dynasty, no matter what, there is a pride and enthusiasm in his bones.
"Mr. Big is out of the palace!"
At this moment, someone shouted. On the long street, which was originally bustling, there was a burst of more enthusiastic cheers.
At the noon gate outside the palace, Mr. Big did not take the car, but slowly returned to the house along the long street as before. During these days, he was entering the palace and discussing with His Majesty about the war with the Di Kingdom.
In the end, finally in the court, the candidate for the general to go to Peking University was Li Chong, a loyal and brave marquis who was nearly sixty years old.
Ten days later, just waiting for the west, south, and east, the armies of the states gathered, and then rushed to Mobei, while training, while waiting for the opportunity, to fight a decisive battle with the Di people.
Seriously speaking, there is no doubt that this feat of inspiring mountains and rivers was the result of Mr. Big's painstaking efforts to successfully persuade His Majesty.
"I'm waiting to welcome Mr. Big!"
All around, whether it is the common people or soldiers, young and strong or old and weak, in front of them, this big gentleman walking on the street and looking sick and weak is extremely respectful.
From the south to the capital, there are still many ancestral halls of Mr. Big along the way.
Mr. Big walked up to a staircase and looked down at each other, and the figures below were crowded, and the shouts were loud, which made him extremely moved for a while.
He has always felt that the rise and fall of the dynasty is not a matter of one person and one achievement, but a piece of the whole world that can only be supported by uniting and working together.
Now, he sees a kind of hope. Just like these people in front of them, they are willing to go to Mobei and live and die with the entire dynasty. In this way, it is possible to have a solid society.
β¦β¦
"Li Chong, the loyal and brave marquis, is indeed the best candidate to lead the troops. Although he has an eccentric temper and is old, no matter what, he is also the first person to make military achievements in the court. Back in the mansion, Yuan Siqiao put down his long sword, and there were still blood stains on the scabbard.
Over the past few days, the old families in the capital have sent out many rounds of killers. But without exception, the people around Mr. Big, and there are also many masters, all of whom have blocked it.
"I've received the information." Mr. Big's voice was joyful, "The eastern states sent 40,000 troops, the western 20,000, and Hu Zun in the south also sent a total of 30,000 troops. In the area of Jingyi, counting the battalion army and recruits, there are more than 60,000 people. In this way, a total of 1340,000 people, added to the defenders of the northern frontier, the 7,000 righteous soldiers, almost 200,000 troops. β
Mr. Big's words made many of the reformist officials next to him excited.
The 200,000 army, although mixed with most of the recruits, this grand event that inspires mountains and rivers is enough to show that the blood in Ran Ren's bones is still hot and not cold.
"Mr. Big, if you can win...... Strike while the iron is hot, and then change the law, I can't say that I will go to the country, and I can really prosper in the society! Tai Shiqing was beside him, and he also added excitedly.
This sentence is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, which makes several people in the Restorationist extremely comfortable in their hearts. Like them, throwing their heads and spilling their blood is nothing more than to help the community.
"I think it's more appropriate to send someone to join the army. If there is no mistake, the eight families will definitely send a secret son, and they can't say it, and they will do something destructive. β
Mr. Big's meaning is that among the reformers, sending a person to be a general can also mention the tricks of the old school.
"Among the 30,000 southern troops, that Chen Jing ...... Enlisted. Yuan Siqiao was silent for a while, and then spoke leisurely.
In this vice minister's mansion, I don't know how many times I have heard the name of "Chen Jing".
Obviously, he is just an insignificant small businessman, but it seems that he has always been seen in many places in the dynasty.
