Chapter 167 The war has begun, heading south!
Pei Min led the people away, and the door was closed by Dian Wei.
The letter was placed quietly on the desk. Su Chen leaned back on the chair and frowned slightly. Su Ting was the child of a cousin of his father, and he was also Su Chen's cousin.
In the past, Wen Wen was weak and like a flying eagle and a running dog.
Later, the Su family was confiscated by the imperial court, and they were naturally affected. Their property was confiscated and they were kicked out of the Su family. After Su Chen launched his army, all the relatives of the Su family came back to help Su Chen with some things in the back.
Su Ting was one of them. Until he ate the gift sent by the imperial envoy and asked Su Ting to go to Wei State to start selling, this cousin seemed to turn on a switch.
For many years, Guo Jia has been traveling from Ding'an to Chendu County in Wei State to buy grain, fodder, or iron for Su Chen's Northern Expedition and Ding'an City. Over the past few days, Guo Jia has been trying to save money from under the fire, and has relied on Su Ting's trade route to pass through The wealthy families in Chendu County are frantically absorbing food and grass.
Firstly, it can hoard grain for Xia Houyuan to go south; secondly, it can covertly use these powerful families to destroy the foundation of the Wei state.
After all, in the eyes of people who have died once, gold and silver are not as good as empty stomachs.
Returning to his thoughts, Su Chen took a piece of paper, took a pen and wrote down the order about Feiyungang, then stamped it with the king's seal, walked out of the study and handed it to the waiting clerk.
"Send to Feiyun Port, take those red-haired barbarians with you, and ask the Shipping Department there to organize four warships to wipe out those pirates."
After saying that, Su Chen took the When Dian Wei and Wu Zixun returned to the backyard, they unexpectedly encountered Yang Yuhuan. She was wearing a blue pomegranate skirt, a light green gauze scarf with double breasts and wide sleeves, and a jade hairpin on her head. She was looking at an old pine. Seeing Su Chen coming over, he smiled slightly, bent his body slightly, and bowed to Su Chen.
Since moving here, Yang Yuhuan rarely goes out. In her eyes, when facing Su Chen, she is more like an elder aunt. After all, she was only thirty-seven when she died, not Su Chen's Thousand-year-old ancients from perspective.
"Your Majesty, how was yesterday?" She probably knew that Su Chen stayed at the palace yesterday. She smiled softly, came over slowly, and said softly: "I will ask the maid in the backyard to make soup for you, wait a moment Let someone take you to your room. You are busy day and night, but you have to take care of yourself.”
“Thank you... Auntie...”
Regarding the age gap between the two, Su Chen thought it was inappropriate to call her sister before, so she had to say it out loud. Yang Yuhuan's face was full of peach blossoms after hearing this. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Go back and have a rest." ! "
Su Chen said and returned to the bedroom. At this time, no royal palace or royal bedroom has been built. From now on, it will be just fine to live in the palace directly. There is no need to waste people and money.
Entering the room, Wu Zixun took down the Wangjia from the shelf with some difficulty. This was a pair of mountain Wenjia specially made for Su Chen by more than 30 craftsmen from the Yanjing Casting Department. It lasted half a month. I made one.
In particular, the tight armor rings are the most complicated and require high craftsmanship. If you want to make them in large quantities, you can only wait for the craftsmen to be familiar with this kind of Tang Dynasty armor.
Su Chen took off his royal uniform and stood there for a long time. He saw Wu Zixun scratching his face and looking at a pile of mountain armor parts, not knowing where to start.
"Leave it alone and let me do it."
Yang Yuhuan came in with a maid carrying a soup bowl. She chuckled and asked Wu Zixun to go outside and personally prepare these armors for Su one by one. Chen wears it. She was a noble concubine in the Tang Dynasty, and she also wore armor for Li Longji.
The animal head is draped over the shoulders...the front and rear mountain armor, the breastplate, the girdle, the arm guards, the belly protector, the falcon tail...and other armor parts are worn by Su Chen.
"Okay." Yang Yuhuan finished her work and was dripping with sweat. She pursed her lips and looked at Su Chen in front of her with a satisfied look in her eyes. She reached out and put the soup bowl in the maid's hand on the table and said Finished sentence: "Auntie, please leave first."
She knew how to measure, and with a blessing, she led the maid out of the room.
"Dian Wei, drink it."
"Huh?" Dian Wei picked up the bowl of chicken soup and smelled it, "I'm so angry, why do you still need to replenish it?!" But I drank it all in one go. ......
The afternoon sun passed through Xuanyang Gate, and a horse team carrying the Xia King's order jumped out of the city gate and went south along the official road. Each of them embroidered robes and flowers. He was wearing clothes with a sword hanging from his waist, leading two horses, black robes and white robes with extravagant embroidery, the black one was an ancient sword and hat, and the white one was a green lotus wine flask, heading south into Lingzhou.
Then he took a ferry down the river and entered Zhangzhou, then transferred to horses to Hunhe River and entered Wei State.
During this period, Yanjing gradually became restless. A large number of soldiers and equipment were transported into the military camp, and carts loaded with grain were already on the way.
Su Chen rode out of Xuanyang Gate and ran straight into the Youyan military camp more than 20 miles away. When he turned over and dismounted, the Youyan soldiers on patrol and on duty all knelt down and bowed their heads with their spears in hand.
“Meet the King of Xia!”
“Get up.”
Su Chen walked past them and went straight to the Chinese army's tent. The soldiers guarding the tent on both sides opened the tent curtains. It was already filled with the generals and deputy generals of the various armies. When they saw the figures coming in, they stood up from the stool with a bang. .
"Meet the King of Xia!"
In the intertwined sights, Su Chen walked forward, with the sound of metal rings rubbing against each other, he took off his white fur-collared cloak and threw it to Dian Wei pressed his hand and asked the generals to take their seats.
After entering the military camp, the usual politeness between ancient people and modern people no longer existed.
"Generals, take your seats!"
When Su Chen Jin Dao sat down, a group of generals on both sides followed him. They were all generals who had a brilliant era, such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, Li Jue, Ma Chao...here at this moment When they gathered together, the tent was full of murderous intent.
"The strategy of going south to the Wei Kingdom has not changed, but this time it is not a full-scale war, just a feint attack and test!"
After the tent was quiet for a moment, Su Chen's words were full of dignity, He glanced at the increasingly young faces.
"The food, grass, troops and horses went over first. General Guan supervised the military affairs in Fenzhou, and all the troops under his command were stationed one by one. They tried their best to build ferries and make adequate preparations. The same was true for Zhangzhou on the side of General Xiahou! Wei State massacred Fenzhou We can't be nice to each other, and our weak reconciliation just makes people think that we are easy to bully!"
He slapped the desk and said, "Who are we? The most brilliant generals in an era, we conquered Yan State, now it’s time for Wei State to have a taste of your power!”
Below, the generals on both sides, except for a group of surrendered generals who were a little confused by the phrase "the most brilliant generals of an era", generals like Lu Bu and Guan Yu who were once powerful in the world, all closed their eyes and raised their faces slightly, standing tall. Straighten your back.
"The soldiers and horses will go first. The counties and counties they pass along the way will all provide some grain and fodder within their capabilities to make up for the loss of grain and grass along the way! Remember, this time it is just a powerful force. Last year, the Wei State stationed 50,000 troops on the south bank of the Hun River!"
Su Chen stood up slowly, dragging his skirt and armor.
"All the equipment will be sent to Fen and Zhangzhou later. Everyone, the war has started, go south!"
Boom!
Rows of generals stood up and raised their fists together.
“Follow the order of the King of Xia!”
