After Chen Gang's death, Zhao Yun led the army to attack the Liang army at night, won a great victory, beheaded more than 40,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 horses, all fled in all directions.

After resting for two days, Xiao Yuming brought 20,000 heavily armored iron cavalry to Zhao Yun to replenish his troops.

After Zhao Yun thanked him, he led the army to continue through the treacherous canyon.

Later generations recorded that Zhao Yun's Long March was a miracle.

In this era, it is rare in history to be able to carry nearly 300,000 troops through the inaccessible Grand Canyon at a very small cost of casualties.

After some deliberate rendering of historical records, this long march has been rumored to be a bit miraculous.

Of course, that's all for later.

For now, how to cross the canyon unharmed has become Zhao Yun's current top priority.

Since the winter, the movements of the Tang army have not been very friendly.

In addition to the army led by Xia Ji, the Tang army reactivated Deng Qi and led an army of 400,000 troops into Liangguo.

Anyway, he declared to the outside world that he was going to occupy Liangguo.

As for what they Tang Guo was thinking, it is unknown.

Anyway, when the Tang State sent Deng Qi to the expedition, Luoyang also knew the news, and urgently discussed the countermeasures in the Xuanzheng Palace.

Tang Guo's approach could easily limit the Wei army to passivity.

Zhao Changqing was not angry, but Zhuge Liang was very angry, he said: "Thousands of calculations, I didn't calculate that Tang Guo couldn't bear the loneliness, and actually took the initiative to send troops to Liang Guo, and our initiative on the battlefield of Liang Country cannot fall into the hands of Tang State." ”

Cao Cao, who was the squire of the military department at the time, also said: "The wolf ambitions of the Tang Kingdom, they must be worried that we will strengthen themselves if we swallow the Liang Kingdom, so they will choose to send troops to intervene in us." ”

Yan Song and the others were also in the Xuanzheng Hall at the moment, and expressed their opinions to the emperor.

But Zhao Changqing didn't seem to pay much attention, he looked at Shangshu and Shen of the Ministry of Industry, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry is repairing the mausoleum for me recently?"

All the civil and military forces present felt a little confused, this is talking about the affairs of the Tang Kingdom, how can it be related to the mausoleum?

Is that a priority?

He Shen said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, according to the ancestral system, the mausoleum should indeed be repaired." ”

Zhao Changqing scolded with a smile: "I am now in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, what kind of mausoleum to build? ”

Before He Shen could reply, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, not to mention whether it violates the ancestral system, in terms of military supplies, there is basically nothing to spend!"

Zhao Changqing said: "Why not? Didn't I hear that the Tang State sent Deng Qi as the commander to prepare to march to the Liang Kingdom? Jian Yi, you are a land immortal, you have a fast foot, tell Chen Qingzhi as fast as possible, stop Deng Qi at all costs." ”

Zhuge Liang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this is equivalent to declaring war with the Tang State, if there is a war with the Tang State, our Wei State will face the common pressure of the two countries." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "Do you have any better way?"

Zhuge Liang was speechless for a while.

Zhao Changqing looked at Jian Yi again and said, "Set off immediately." ”

Jian Yi immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Jian left the main hall, Zhao Changqing asked Zhao Gao to personally read a holy decree, and asked the king of Changlin, who was far away in Chang'an, to immediately lead his 300,000 Changlin troops to assist Chen Qingzhi and block the Tang army.

Then, Zhao Changqing said to Zhuge Liang: "I am now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, if nothing happens, I will definitely not die in the short term, take out all the money for repairing the mausoleum for the military supplies of the Changlin army, as for the mausoleum, I will repair it a few years later, or I will not repair it." ”

Zhuge Liang was taken aback.

With the original 1.5 million, and the 300,000 in cooperation with the Changlin Army, this is enough for 1.8 million troops, all of which have been sent outside!

Not only was he surprised, but the rest of the people were all shocked.

With an army of 1.8 million, who still has this strength among the few countries in the world now?

People from the outside world don't know at all that this is not the real military power of the Wei State.

Wei State, and 300,000 Praetorian Guards!

These 300,000 are all heavily armored iron horses.

Moreover, each has a martial arts cultivation.

This Praetorian Guard can only be commanded by Zhao Changqing.

It is no exaggeration to say that this army is worth a million heroes.

In the past few years when the countries were peaceful, Zhao Changqing put a lot of energy into this army.

As a last resort, Zhao Changqing would not dispatch this army, but he already had a plan in his heart, and he would definitely use this army when he crusaded against the Tang State in the future.

When the time comes, the existence of an ace army can give the Don Army a fatal blow.

The deliberations of the Xuanzheng Hall are over.

A few days later.

Jian Yi arrived in the Wei State.

He saw Chen Qingzhi, and the two were standing on top of a snowfield.

Jian Yi said: "Your Majesty's intention is to let General Chen stop the Tang army at all costs. ”

Chen Qingzhi said: "The combined army of Tang State Commander Deng Qi and Xia Ji has more than 700,000 troops, if you want to attack in an all-round way, I am afraid that the general will have more than enough strength but not enough strength." ”

Jian nodded and said: "Before coming again, listen to Your Majesty's will, saying that you have already let the King of Changlin send troops, and I believe that within a month at most, the vanguard of the Changlin Army will be able to arrive here." ”

Chen Qingzhi said with a smile: "This is very good, but if His Majesty's trump card troops can follow tens of thousands, General Ben will be sure that all the Tang troops will be left here." ”

Jian Yiwan smiled and said: "I'm afraid that this plan in General Chen's heart is about to come to naught, when I came, I didn't hear Your Majesty say that you want to bring the heavy armor iron cavalry over, of course, if General Chen repairs a book at this moment and lets him bring it over, perhaps, Your Majesty will send some heavy armor iron cavalry." ”

Chen Qingzhi laughed and said: "You, you, don't make fun of me, I won't do that kind of thing to scold, if General Cao is alive, I dare to say it, after all, no matter how angry Your Majesty is, there is also General Cao Lao in front of you." ”

The sword fell silent when he heard this.

After a while, he said, "Farewell." ”

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "If you don't send it, you have to prepare the army." ”

Jian Yi couldn't help but admonished: "Go out on the expedition, be careful in everything, Your Majesty is very relieved that you have heavy troops in hand at the moment, you must fight hard, you can't live up to Your Majesty's trust, the battlefield of the two countries is very important, which country loses, it will cause a situation where all the games are lost." ”

Chen Qingzhi: "Don't worry, I have been fighting horses for many years, and no one knows better than me what His Majesty wants." ”

As soon as the sword was gone.

Walking very freely.

He did not go back to the capital directly to restore his life, but wanted to see if the situation on the battlefield of Liangguo was optimistic.

At present, because of the heavy snow, Zhao Yun's army has stagnated.

And Bai Qi and Yue Feibu, because of Zhao Yun, were reluctant to launch a general attack.

After all, once a war breaks out here, it will be a whole body.
