Chapter 23: Going to the North
Wang Chen and He Meng rushed thousands of miles and arrived in Luoyang City in less than three days.
"Please, our Dengzhou City was closer to Youzhou, but we had to go back to Luoyang to get some troops!"
As he approached the capital, He Meng complained a little.
"Brother He, after all, our position is very important. If a coach or a pioneer general doesn't go to the general, wouldn't it seem that I was arrogant? Wouldn't it make the soldiers dissatisfied with us?"
Wang Chen smiled, and when he arrived in the capital, he got off his horse and walked.
The two of them took the imperial edict given by Yang Guang and came to the Hall of Yangxin smoothly.
Yang Guang had already sat on the wooden chair early in the Palace of Yangxin. He watched Wang Chen and the others come in and said:
"Come here, give the two Qing families a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Chen and He Meng were not polite anymore and sat directly on the stool brought in by the eunuch.
"Wang Chen, I feel sorry for hearing that you gave up on your marriage and went to the capital. Of course, when you are in triumph, I promise you that I will personally marry you and Yu'er!"
Yang Guang is serious.
Wang Chen knew that this was a small way to win over the people, but it was better for Yang Guang to be an opponent.
Yang Guang is indeed a tyrant. He has done a lot of things that cost the people and money. He is also moody and will eliminate all those who do the right thing with him. However, it cannot be denied that Yang Guang is still a more capable emperor.
"I thanked the emperor. In the critical moment of the Great Sui Dynasty, I naturally put state affairs first! How can my personal affairs be compared with national affairs!"
"Hahaha! OK! Wang Aiqing is indeed as the emperor said, he is really a loyal and loyal minister!"
"Of course, I want you to go to Youzhou and the north, the main purpose is to resist the Turkic invasion, and there is another purpose. I hope that my dear will create a powerful cavalry for me in the north! My dear, can I do it
arrive?"
Yang Guang seemed a little excited when he talked about it. Indeed, cavalry was a weapon of war in ancient times!
But the land of China is not so suitable for raising horses. Even if there are horses, most of them are farming horses and they cannot go to the battlefield at all. The war horses still have to look at the Turks in the north!
Why are the Turks so fierce? Not only because the Turkic people are soldiers, but also because the Turkic grasslands are very suitable for raising horses, but the Turkic horses have many peerless horses!
The Turkic troops were basically all cavalry!
"I accept the order!"
Of course, Wang Chen could not refuse unless he was crazy.
"Well, and, King Luo Yi of Yan, has always been loyal to me, the Great Sui Dynasty. I have been tolerant of him for a long time. If it weren't for the three battles of Goryeo in the first three times, I would have killed Luo Yi's whole family!"
Yang Guang seemed a little angry as he spoke and slapped his armchair with one hand.
"Okay, I will give you the imperial gold medal. From now on, everything you have to do when you arrive in Youzhou depends on your instructions!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, time is not waiting for me. I now give you the Marshal of the Northern Expedition! You can go and order troops first. I will give you 80,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry!"
"I accept the order!"
Wang Chen and He Meng bowed to Yang Guang and left the Palace of Harmony.
"Rong Er, what do you think of this person?"
Looking at Wang Chen's leaving figure, Yang Guang suddenly said to himself.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind Yang Guang.
"When I go back to the emperor, I feel that although this person appears to be thin, his strength is terrifying! And his qi and blood are very amazing!"
"I didn't ask you all this. He could put Yuwen Chengdu at a disadvantage. I naturally know that Wang Chen is very strong!"
Yang Guang frowned slightly and said unhappy.
"I deserve to die! My subordinates think that I still have to be careful. Although he is the adopted son of the King of Responsibles, he is the adopted son after all, and even his own son does not mean that he is loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, so my subordinates suggest that he or she should not send Long to him or her.
Ba and Long Jiu are going to monitor?"
"If he has a rebellious attitude towards Da Sui, kill him directly!"
The black shadow knelt in front of Yang Guang on one knee and said in a little panic.
"Well, but, send Long Jiu. As for Long Ba who has been arranged by me in his team, you don't need to worry about this. Go and notify the rest of the people, focus on Yu Culture and the Longxi nobles.
people!"
When Yang Guang talked about the Longxi nobles, his eyes were full of murderous intent! Unconcealed murderous intent!
"Hmph! These aristocratic families are really the borers of my Great Sui Dynasty! I must uproot them!"
"I understand!"
After the black shadow finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
It seems that nothing has happened.
Wang Chen and He Meng hurried to the martial arts field. They took two days to order soldiers and generals, made sufficient preparations before sending out, and transported the food and grass to Youzhou in advance. Of course, not too much, after all
Dengzhou City has already transported grain to the north. The grain transport officer is Zhao Guangzhi and others. His martial arts are also extraordinary, and ordinary people can fight casually.
"The Grand Marshal, I will finally think that we can send a vanguard team to Youzhou first."
At the forefront of the battle, Cao Yu rode on the tall horse with a firm face and bowed to Wang Chen.
Very polite, without any opposition.
"Hahaha! General Cao and I have the same idea as him! Is it just the candidate to go first?"
Speaking of this, Wang Chen looked at Cao Yu with his eyes slightly intriguing.
"Hahaha, the marshal is joking. I'm afraid someone has chosen it in his heart!"
Cao Yu smiled calmly and said to Wang Chen.
"Hahaha, it's your general Cao Yu. I have heard that General Cao had participated in the war in Goguryeo, and had the feat of killing thirteen generals by one person, and was familiar with military tactics. He is the pillar of my Great Sui Dynasty.
material!"
"The Marshal is praised. Compared with the Marshal's feat, it is the light of fireflies to the bright moon, which is incomparable!"
The two started a commercial mutual bragging model, and Wang Chen also smiled and his face hurt. The ancients really knew how to pretend, and they could fly up one by one!
If you lose your system and enter the court to be a civil servant, you may not be able to get a lunch box if you live in less than three episodes!
"Come here, tell me about He Meng's pioneer!"
"yes!"
"He Meng, you are already the vanguard general of our army. Now I will give you a task. First lead a thousand cavalry to open the way for the army, and arrive at the Yan Prince's Mansion around the fifteenth day!"
Although Wang Chen was the head coach for the first time, fortunately, he read a lot of miscellaneous books in his previous life, but he still had some things.
"The last general will receive the order!"
He Meng took the military order and led a thousand cavalry out of the team.
Wang Chen still walked behind with the large army.
In ancient times, marching was really boring, especially the commander, and it was basically all infantry, so it was impossible to walk too fast. It was only more than 40 kilometers in a day.
It is mainly for long-distance marching, and most roads are difficult to walk, and it is because of the mixed military civil servants, infantry and cavalry.
"Oh, I'm afraid it's going to take more than ten days to get there!"
At this time, several ministers from the court gathered in Prime Minister Yuwen's mansion.
The one who sits in the first place is naturally Yu Wenji, and the ministers who sit in the lower position are all important officials of the court.
There are the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the Guanglu Dafu, and the Taichang Shaoqing.
"Let me talk, the emperor has appointed a young boy who has not yet won the title as the Marshal of the Northern Expedition! He is fully responsible for all matters in the war against the north! To be honest, even the true nature cannot understand the emperor's meaning now.
Now!"
Yu Wenhe glanced at the ministers and took the lead in speaking.
"Prime Minister, the lower official thinks that there must be a reason for the emperor to change his actions."
Yu Wenji was speechless after hearing this. Isn’t this pure nonsense?
"The emperor is now wary of his true nature, and over the years, the emperor has been promoting those untouchables and establishing imperial examinations has reduced the number of children of our aristocratic families!"
"Report to the Prime Minister, according to the thought of the officials, the emperor can only promote these untouchables and some relatively low-ranking official positions in recent years, and cannot threaten us at all. Wang Chen happened to be born in a humble and had a strong martial arts skills! So the humble official boldly speculates that the emperor will
Wouldn't you want to train this Wang Chen to compete with our aristocratic family? Confront us old ministers in the court?"
"Hmph! The emperor is just confused! From ancient times to the present, without our aristocratic families, where can the imperial power come from?"
"Mr. Zhang, be careful of your words!"
