According to the instructions of the nine princes, build a temporary camp outside the city, in order to prepare for the army to be stationed and repaired, the itinerary of the army is reported to the imperial court every hour, when the nine princes lead the army to arrive outside the city of Zhongzhou, the civil and military officials have already been waiting outside, in addition to the civil and military officials and the moon spring of the candle dragon spring lord and others, the carriage stopped, the nine princes got off the carriage, walked forward, the hundred officials knelt down, even the candle dragon and other spring lords, The elders also clenched their fists and shouted long live The sound resounded through the sky, the ninth prince entered the camp, the hundred officials got up, and congratulated the generals, and the generals also dismounted, each greeting, as soon as the army entered the camp, the meals were prepared, and Tang Feng ordered the soldiers to eat and rest!
Seven or eight Chinese fastest ~ mobile terminal: :// In the big tent, Duke Su combed the clothes for the ninth prince, and there were a number of old ministers and important people waiting for Yuequan in the tent, as well as a number of generals in the army.
Everyone was respectful, waiting for the ninth prince, the ninth prince said: "Where have they arrived in Shizhen? When will they arrive?" The military department Shangshu Gao Shen replied: "General Shi, they are less than half a day's trip from Zhongzhou City!" The ninth prince said again: "How is the new battalion prepared?" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ji replied without stopping: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready, just wait for the army to settle in, and the two large camps are enough to provide the army's life and training!" The ninth prince said: "How about the supply of grain and grass?" Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is ready!" Father-in-law Su finished dressing up for the ninth prince, and the ninth prince turned around and sat down, and said, "All Aiqing should sit down!" Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" If today's unification is the expectation of all the people, it is also the result of the hard work of your Aiqing, and it is also my wish, but because of this, the northern defense line is more extended, and when Nanzhou still exists, the defense line of the northern abyss is useless, I ordered to repair the defense line, open up official roads, dredge and build canals, and build a joint camp in the territory of the original Nanzhou, the two camps are one east and one west, plus the implementation of the land and waterway, which is more conducive to the transportation of grain and grass and the deployment of defense troops, completely connecting the entire northern defense line, and completely isolating the northern barbarians in the north of the defense line! Although the treasury was insufficient after a major war, there must not be the slightest slack and sloppy defense line in the northern border! The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry went down to negotiate carefully, and carefully planned the construction of money, food, personnel, military law, and materials, and so on!" Lord Ji then ordered people to go to the north to investigate, many defense lines in Nanzhou, to be repaired and consolidated, can be completely incorporated into the defense line, Wei Chen has begun to verify a lot of military important places, Lord Ji They have begun to prepare to build fortifications!" Meng En said: "Your Majesty, money, food, baggage and requisitioned personnel have begun to prepare, and they will arrive in less than half a month!" Jiu Gongzi said: "What are the movements of the ten cities occupied by Beiyuan?" The princes of Beiyuan are vying for the throne, and the ten cities occupied by the Beiyuan are weak, and the generals of the Beiyuan who defend the city have no intention of defending the city!" Jiugongzi said: "Gao Shen and Ji Wuxiu will also build the ten cities occupied by Beiyuan within the northern defense line! Temporarily build within the territory, and wait for me to recover the ten cities, and then build them!" Gao Shen said: "Your Majesty is preparing to use troops against Beiyuan?" The ninth prince replied: "The soldiers are to be used, but not against Beiyuan, but against the ten cities taken away by Beiyuan!" Gao Shen said: " If His Majesty only wants to recapture the ten cities, as long as he threatens to enter the army on the one hand, and sends people to Beiyuan to negotiate on the other, the ten cities that are now occupied are tantamount to chicken help, defense, insufficient troops, turbulence in the army, and the supply of grain and grass is difficult, but give up, after all, the ten cities are the old Beiyuan King's military exploits, and as a junior, he does not dare to give up easily. Gu Chen knows that most of the soldiers stationed in the ten cities are subordinates of the prince of Beiyuan, if we take advantage of the prince of Beiyuan and buy a few courtiers, the prince of Beiyuan will definitely be willing to return the ten cities, and the second prince of Beiyuan will definitely use this as a name to conquer the prince of Beiyuan and aggravate the civil strife in Beiyuan!" All the courtiers nodded one after another, and the ninth prince smiled slightly: "The plan of killing two birds with one stone, well, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible! I will send someone to assist you from the side!" Gao Shen smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!" Jiu Gongzi looked at the generals and said, "Cui Qi and Wang He, the two of you will lead 200,000 troops, and after the celebration banquet is over, rush to the north and wait for the dispatch of Gao Shen at any time!" Cui Qi and Wang He said respectfully: "The last general will take the order!" The two saluted Gao Shen slightly, and Gao Shen returned the salute slightly.
After another half a day, Shi Zhen and others led the army of the northern defense line into the new camp, and Shi Zhen led many generals of the northern defense line to meet the ninth prince.
Jiugongzi left Shi Zhen and other major generals to discuss the matter of entering the city with Tang Feng, the Ministry of Rites and others. The victorious army should enjoy the support and cheers of the people, but the million army cannot enter the city, let alone be settled, so they can only send some elites to enter the city with the nine princes, and many other matters must be determined before tomorrow, so as to leave enough time for officials at all levels to prepare.
After deliberation, it was decided that 100,000 Praetorian Guards would enter the city first, and 100,000 elite soldiers from the Zhennan Camp and the Zhenbei Battalion would each select 100,000 elite soldiers to enter the city with the Nine Princes.
Eight thousand imperial fronts will retreat from their armor, wear ink shirts and carry Mo knives, follow the nine princes left and right, the emperor's imperial attendants will serve the nine princes on both sides, and Suo Yi will lead 50,000 light horsemen to follow at the end.
