Chapter 243: Northern Expedition (First Update)

Kou Zhong, Shi Fan and Shi Zhixuan discussed for a long time, and finally decided on a strategy to restore the contention of a hundred schools, which is a protracted matter and cannot be achieved overnight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Obviously, it has to be given by the troubled times, in the turmoil, the orthodox status of Confucianism has been greatly impacted, in the troubled times, the purebred Confucian can be said to be useless, and it is more popular that those who have a wealth of knowledge such as soldiers, legalists, farmers, etc., if they take into account Confucianism, it is the object of favor of the princes......

Therefore, the first policy adopted was to establish a school palace to teach a hundred schools of thought within the scope of Dawu, in order to reduce the resistance of Confucian students, it was specially named to rebuild the Jixia School Palace, mainly telling the way of Confucianism at the same time, quietly unfolding the doctrine of the pre-Qin princes......

It is obviously more practical to achieve this goal subtly. And because the imperial examination system is still only a sketch in this era, the clan gate valve obviously still holds the right to speak, and many disciples of the demon sect have a role that cannot be ignored in the clans, and it is also a good choice to gradually promote the doctrine of the hundred schools!

Wait until the world is unified, and then create a serious imperial examination system that accommodates hundreds of schools, which can not only restore the grand occasion of hundreds of schools, but also greatly break through the situation of the world being controlled by the world, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Therefore, the real big move still has to wait until Li Tang is eliminated and unification is completed!

Now, with the fall of Xiang Yutian and other four masters, the north has no power to fight back in terms of high-end combat power, although Li Shimin is extremely powerful in commanding the army, and he also has the most elite Xuanjia army in the world, but this is a martial arts world, with too many masters beyond ordinary soldiers, and the great master is able to fight against ten thousand!

Therefore, whether it is the South or the North, the overall situation is basically decided!

This is not only understood by Da Wu, but even Li Yuan himself knows in his heart that the reason why he is still holding on is just looking forward to a miracle......

As the Emperor of Great Wu, Kou Zhong naturally wanted to complete the unification as soon as possible and ascend to the supreme throne of the world! With Kou Zhong's order, the entire south was running at high speed, like a huge war machine, in an orderly manner!

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, under Kou Zhong's order, the grain and grass from all over the south were transported like mountains, and the south has become the land of fish and rice at this time, and it has always been rich, and the individual combat power is naturally inferior to the northern cavalry, but if the grain and grass are sufficient, the northern horses will not be able to catch up......

In just seven days, the entire Great Wu has completed all the preparations before the war!

On the stage outside Jinling City, Kou Zhong was dressed in a military uniform and held the sword of the Son of Heaven, looking majestic. Shi Fan and other seven grandmasters around him are lined up, showing the top combat power lineup of Dawu, and the school field below is full of generals, Li Jing, as the head of the generals, has already been named the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, followed by the generals who came all the way to the battle, the Feng brothers, Qian Duguan, Zheng Shuming of the Dajiang Alliance, and a large number of masters under his command, Song Zhi, Song Zhi, Yinshu Song Lu, and Pegasus Ranch Shang Xiuxun are also dressed in military uniforms, looking heroic......

It's really a strategist like a cloud, and a fierce general like rain!

I saw Kou Zhong say majestically: "Li Tang sent the Evil Emperor and other great masters to attack a few days ago, and now they have all fallen, and our Great Wu must also give Li Yuan some color to see! Today is the period for the army to go north! Where is Li Jing?"

Li Jing came out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general!"

"Today, you are the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, leading the army to fight on behalf of the pseudo-Tang!" Kou Zhong shouted.

Li Jing was shocked, and said loudly: "The last general will obey the order! This time I will go on an expedition, and I will not break the Chang'an oath and not be a teacher!"

Kou Zhong said with satisfaction: "This is very good! Li Jing, these seven great grandmasters, will all set off later, but there is a place for stubborn resistance, you can ask the seven great grandmasters for help!"

Li Jing was overjoyed, this is a great thing, if it is about the strength alone, this trip will inevitably take a long time, and it may even be blocked by the attack. But now that there are seven great grandmasters to help, the so-called Jiancheng Xiongguan has become a joke, and the power of the great grandmaster is not covered......

"The last general commands!"

Next, Kou Zhong gave Li Jing the sword and asked him to order it himself, while he closed his eyes and wandered away like the other six great grandmasters......

Li Jing is not ambiguous, the point of vigorous and resolute action will be completed, and then he will swear to go on the expedition!

This time, Dawu sent a total of more than 400,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, including 80,000 naval divisions and more than 300,000 large armies by land and water. The right wing was led by Shi Zhixuan's demon Dao Bichen, and rushed to Luoyang from the line of Jingling and Xiangyang.

Everywhere the army passed, countless cities fell in the wind!

For this reason, Li Yuan personally put on armor for Li Shimin and held his hand, so that the armies of Li and Tang were all under his command, with only one purpose, to stop the Wu army on the line of the Yangtze River, and not to advance an inch!

Li Shimin was naturally speechless in his heart, now everyone knows that the Wu army is powerful, even if he strategizes and transports troops into the gods, what can he do in the face of absolute strength, not to mention anything else, as soon as those few great grandmasters come out, I am afraid that the army's morale will collapse immediately......

However, as Li Yuan's most valued son, he is also duty-bound, if even he doesn't dare to meet the enemy, I'm afraid he won't want to count on the Tang Army......

In any case, there is still a fight!

Li Shimin ordered to mobilize troops and horses everywhere, and hurriedly discussed with the staff of the Tiance Mansion the strategy of defending against the enemy.

Now that he has led the army to Luoyang, Li Shimin has decided to take Luoyang as his base camp and build the hardest line of defense like Chang'an, so as to block the Wu army at least on the first line of the Qinling Mountains! After all, compared with other cities, Luoyang, as the eastern capital, has the tallest city wall and the most complete defense system! It is also Li Shimin's last reliance!

In the area south of Luoyang, Li Shimin ordered that if he could block it, he would block it, and if he couldn't hold it, he would mainly harass him, and he would fight and retreat, and he would let the Wu army shed the last drop of blood under Luoyang City! If it succeeds, then Li Tang'an will be weakly defeated, and he can only retreat to Chang'an again and become a lonely city!

Absolute disadvantage, even if Li Shimin is full of scheming, it will not help!

In fact, as soon as the battle began, the Tang army was defeated, and there were countless masters in the Wu army, basically everywhere they went, they all surrendered to the wind, or abandoned the city and retreated, resulting in Li Jing basically meeting with the right wing under the city of Luoyang without encountering any resistance!

Now, hundreds of thousands of troops are coming to Luoyang, how similar is this situation to when Li Shimin led the army to attack Wang Shichong before!

After all, history is always strikingly similar, and if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later......

Looking at the endless army outside the city, Li Shimin's face at the head of the city was extremely ugly, and all the generals around him were also shocked, but Wang Shichong, as the former lord of Luoyang, even had a good relationship with Kou Zhong, but now he was reduced to Li Tang's general, looking at the army under the city, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart......
