It has been three days since King Qin's wedding.
Within three days!
Because of the Huns' declaration of war, the war situation in the north has become increasingly tense and unstable! Small groups of Xiongnu soldiers, consisting of five hundred to one thousand soldiers, harassed Yanmen Pass day and night. The defenders of Yanmen Pass were immersed in vigilance and vigilance day and night.
And Yanmen Pass belongs to Youzhou! Youzhou is rich and is the base of Yan King Dongfang Ping. In recent years, it has developed and its power has gradually grown.
However, the Xiongnu were ready to invade the interior, and the first battle was at Yanmen Pass. King Yan was worried that the Xiongnu would take the opportunity to go south and harass Youzhou, so two days ago, he led his troops and horses to retreat towards Youzhou in a hurry.
As for the three passes of Dawu, in addition to Yanmen Pass, there are also Ningwu Pass and Pianguan Pass. Although the three passes are at the horns of each other, the tension outside the pass is about to reach its maximum.
King Dongfang Yin of Chu, also because of the loss of Huaihua Fort and Huaihua County, led his army back to Yangzhou to assist Shandong Governor Zhang Tianzheng in regaining the lost territory along the coast and driving away the Japanese pirates.
The third of the five emperors has returned. King Qin Dongfang Yu's Beiliang has two passes, Wuguan and Beimen. The Huns from the north are also ready to move, I'm afraid! It's time to lead the army back to Beiliang.
As for Chen Wangfangfangjie, this guy is lucky. His fiefdom is in Jingzhou and he lives in the extremely rich Jingzhou. There is abundant food and population. The most important thing is that Jingzhou is located within Dawu. He didn't need to worry at all when he didn't negotiate with the border and looked at the princes from all walks of life who were rushing back.
and! Emperor Xuanwu seemed to have no intention of dispatching the Jingzhou navy stationed in Jingzhou seaport. Since Dongfangjie stationed in Jingzhou, almost all of Jingzhou's troops, navy, etc. have been dispatched by him.
Jiwu Palace…
"Father! Recently, outside the Beimen Pass, the Huns are ready to move. Chen Bing is stationed fifty miles outside the Beimen Pass. Although I have sent generals to guard them to the death, I am still a little worried that the Huns will attack in a large scale."
"So! I may have to rush to Beiliang tomorrow to prevent the Huns from the north." Dongfang Yu said.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly, "Forget it! Now is the time when the situation is tense! Beiliang is backed by the Xiongnu grassland. The borderland must be guarded properly."
"As for! The battle plan for the Northern Expedition against the Huns will be notified to the states separately after I discuss it with all the ministers!"
Emperor Xuanwu's purpose of Zhao Wuhuang's return to the capital has long been achieved. I did not see! The elite troops brought back to the capital by the Five Emperors gave Emperor Xuanwu a lot of confidence when facing the Northern Expedition against the Huns.
"Thank you, father!" Dongfang Yu bowed.
As for what the battle plan is! The various ministers in the imperial court had been arguing for a day or two. Dongfang Yu, who was standing next to him, only dared to listen and did not dare to say a word.
after all! In the Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu, Emperor Xuanwu had prepared to mobilize troops from twelve states except Nanzhou, Jiaozhou, Yuezhou, Yangzhou, Luzhou, and Qingzhou, totaling about 500,000 people.
As for Beiliang and Youzhou, there are King Qin and King Yan. Naturally, the soldiers and horses of this state are allocated by themselves!
But more than 500,000 troops and horses, it sounds simple to say it, but it is nothing short of a very troublesome thing to mobilize. To gather them all in the suburbs outside Luo Qicheng, it would take less than a month just to mobilize them.
in addition! There is another very troublesome thing, which is the lifeblood of the Northern Expedition. That is food and wages. Although Yunzhou is known as the cultural, commercial and economic capital of the world, although there is a lot of food stored in the state, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to provide food and clothing for an army of 500,000.
We still have to collect grain from all states in the world. Within two months, we must collect the first batch of grain, which must be enough for an army of 500,000 people to last for one and a half months.
and! This Northern Expedition must be carried out quickly and we must try to eliminate the Huns in the shortest possible time! In other words, the first battle of the Northern Expedition to the Huns was the decisive battle between Dawu and Liao, or Dawu would be defeated! Either Daliao will be defeated! If one side is damaged in the battle, it will basically be defeated, the armor will be abandoned, and a lot of land will be lost.
The defeated side will decide the fate of the empire. Where will it go from here?
certainly! Mobilizing such a large amount of food and fodder is quite an arduous task for the civil servants of the imperial court!
After one night!
The next day!
Dongfang Yu put on his battle armor again, climbed onto the Purple Lightning Phoenix, and returned to the Xuanjia Army camp.
"stand at attention!"
"Whoops!"
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, who had already been assembled and on standby, immediately became uniform and powerful.
"Your Majesty! The five thousand Xuanjia Army has been assembled!" Liu Wenqinhui reported.
Liu Wenqin learned that Dongfang Yu got up at seven o'clock in the morning and was going back to Beiliang. Liu Wenqin had already prepared everything. At five o'clock in the morning, he went to Xuanjia Military Camp to assemble the troops.
Since he followed King Qin, he was deeply impressed by his series of actions! He had already sworn that he would be loyal to King Qin for the rest of his life and would never leave him.
"good!"
"Get ready to go!" Dongfang Yu shouted.
Five thousand Xuanjia troops quickly marched out in sequence. Dongfang Yu has five thousand black armor troops under his command, and his cavalry are all pure horses from the grassland.
The cavalry charges! It only takes seven or eight days to reach Beiliang. If we go quickly, it will only take five or six days. certainly! Gradually, the price paid by a Xuanjia army is quite high. It was simply Dongfang Yu's pet peeve, and if he was slightly injured, he would cut his own flesh again.
so! It would be better to march slowly for seven or eight days than to overwork the soldiers or even the horses.
"Strategic Advisor! It's another seven or eight days of attack. It's going to be hard on you!" Dongfang Yu said.
Xu Meng said: "What is your Majesty saying? Since I am your Majesty's military advisor, I will do my best, so there is no need to work hard!"
"I just have to remind the king! Now that the king can set up a royal city in Beiliang, he is the real king! When talking and doing things in the future, in front of his subordinates, he cannot call himself the king, but must call himself alone."
Dongfang Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Where do the rules come from? There is no difference between me and Gu!"
then! Then he went up with the army.
As for Li Jing and Li Xiaozhi, they naturally let Dongfang Yu join the army. Especially Li Xiaozhi, this guy, if Li Jing and him were not around, he would probably go up and have a fight if he looked at the soldier.
The force is strong, but the brain is not good, so what's wrong with it?
Yuwen Hu and Wei Qing escorted Liu Wenxin to Beiliang.
The most important thing is that not only is there Liu Wenxin, but also the troublesome Zhao Yazhi. Is there nothing Dongfang Yu can do? Who wants this martial arts idiot to insist on following me, and also makes excuses to say that without Wenxin in the capital, I will no longer be able to live.
here! Dongfang Yu needs to beg for justice. Doesn't he mean to scold him for taking Wenxin away?
I said: Sister! Men should be married when they are old, and women should be married when they are old. You are too lenient in controlling them, and you are not marrying them off.
I can only say this in my heart, after all! Women are tigers, don’t mess with them!
