Chapter 280 Li Jing returns to the three armies, Lu Bu meets his old friend immediately
The high-pitched voice resounded through the hall, and then gradually died down.
The figures below shouted in unison. When Su Chen raised his hand to silence the voice, among the people lined up behind him, Wang Lang, with a gray beard, his face glowing red, suddenly stepped out of the queue. He bowed his hands to Su Chen in front of the high platform.
"The mighty virtue of the King of Xia spread throughout the world, and all the barbarians bowed their heads and knelt down to rectify the Yan Kingdom, which brought peace to the people of the Yan Kingdom and the reputation of benevolence spread far and wide."
Your mother...
Su Chen suddenly heard this and was a little stunned. He was here to encourage the three armies, not to force the orphan and widowed mother to give in. Besides, it was not time yet, at least let him capture Xirong.
Lu Bu and other generals around him were also stunned. When the civil and military officers below heard this, they also raised their heads in astonishment.
Wang Lang didn't care about other people's opinions at this time. He was familiar with this matter. He had to give in three times anyway, so why not let him push it first.
“Ping the Central Plains, capturing and killing the Emperor of Wei, rejecting the Western Rong in the west, and fusing the native slaves in the snow in the north. Now the nine states of Yan State and the eleven states of the Central Plains have become the general trend. The people of the world are all looking forward to peace in the world. This is It's God's will."
On the viewing platform, Jiang Wan's face turned pale. She knew this day would happen, but she held back the discomfort and held her son's hand tightly.
"... In line with the public opinion, I hope that the King of Xia can obey the will of God and the people." Wang Lang said this, lowered his head and said word by word: "Please accept the throne of Yan Guozuo and ascend the throne."
The arrays below The generals and colonels all shouted in unison at this time: "Please enthrone the king!"
"Enough!"
Su Chen's eyes were cold, and he glanced at the mother and son on the viewing platform over there, He raised his hand and said, "You are the king of Xia of the Yan Kingdom. How could you do this? Don't mention it again. This is what happens today." Heading to Yantang Pass every day!”
"Yes!"
The military formation below shouted in unison, and figures went out from the side doors of the left and right hall in an orderly manner.
Su Chen stood on the high platform and watched the soldiers leave, and then the civil and military officers below also left one by one. He understood in his heart why Wang Lang did what he did, but the war against Xirong was about to start. Being the emperor was complicated and took too long. It was already November, which was the best time to fight against Xirong.
He already has the candidates for the large army, and he also has generals who are good at prairie cavalry combat.
“Now, it is time to completely resolve the problems in the north and lay the foundation for the unification of the north.”
Su Chen stood on the high platform and looked back at the generals behind him: "Generals, see you in the barracks!"
Su Chen's answer was all hands in arms.
When Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals turned to leave, Su Chen called Qin Qiong to stop. The other party had already obtained an official position in the court, and his old look was slowly fading from his face.
“What else does the king have to say?”
“Let me meet an old friend of General Qin.”
As he spoke, Su Chen asked Dian Wei to bring a token. The next moment, seven or eight steps away, a sickly figure suddenly appeared and sat staggeringly on the high platform.
His face was sunken and thin, his beard was hanging down from his chin, his hair was white in a bun, and his eyes that slowly opened looked cloudy.
"Your Majesty...I still want to...conquer Goryeo with you..."
Qin Qiong next to Su Chen moved slightly, and he called out with a choked voice: "Pharmacist."
Qin Qiong is about the same age as Li Jingxiang, but Qin Qiong died young. When they met now, Li Jing was already seventy-nine years old. He opened his eyes slightly when he heard a familiar voice and saw the figure squatting in front of him. The turbidity gradually dissipated.
"Uncle Bao?!"
"It's me! It's me!" Qin Qiong's eyes were a little wet when she saw her old friend again.
Su Chen went over to help them both up. The old man named Li Jing stood up unsteadily. His body was so weak that he needed Qin Qiong's support. He tilted his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Su Chen!"
Here, Su Chen raised his hands. He was naturally excited about the Li Jing in front of him who had the ability to command a large army. He finally had a coach who had fought in the war to destroy the country and fought on the grassland. It was a pity that there was no Wei Qing, otherwise the two of them would Each commander leads an army.
Su Chen was just thinking about this scene in his mind.
Wei Qing lived to the end.
At this time, Li Jing seemed to react and suddenly looked at Qin Qiong who was supporting him.
"Uncle Bao...didn't you die long ago? Wait...I seem to be terminally ill...I am also dead..." Li Jing subconsciously touched the skinny body, and the originally cold body gradually became warm. feeling.
"Warm...I...I'm still alive!"
"Pharmacist, we are all still alive, and you can still see His Majesty!"
Hearing Qin Qiong's choked words, Li Jing His mouth was slightly open, tears dripping from his eyes, and it took a while for the sound to come out of his slightly opened mouth.
"Take me to see your Majesty... I want to see your Majesty..."
Su Chen nodded to Qin Qiong and asked him to take Li Jing to the palace, and by the way, someone fetched a winter coat for Li Jing to wear. good.
After sending the two old men outside the main hall, the sky was already bright. Su Chen watched them leave in a carriage to go to the palace. He turned around and stepped onto the ancestral hearse. The big cloak on his body was swaying slightly in the cold wind. He said softly: "My son." Xun, give the words I said today to the government and post them in all states and counties!"
After that, he turned around and sat on the big tiger leather chair inside, and gave a cold command through the curtain.
"Go to the camp outside the city." "Drive!" The soldier driving the car shook the reins, and the soldiers on both sides held up their halberds and strode with them
The cart went straight out of the imperial city , arrived along Suzaku Avenue all the way to the southern suburbs of the city. It was about to snow, and the wind was extremely biting. But for the soldiers at present, with winter clothes wrapped around them, the cold wind could be withstood, and there was no need to hide in the tent and crowd together. Keep warm together.
Seeing the king approaching, in the military camp with the two-character flags of "Tang" and "Xia" flying, the light cavalry and soldiers who were coming in and out all retreated to the side. In the fanatical eyes of the soldiers and generals, the ancestral hearse drove into the military camp.
Su Chen got off the car and did not go directly to the commander's tent. At this time, other generals had not come here yet, so he went to the school grounds for a walk. Zhang Yu came over after hearing the news and accompanied him to explain to Su Chen. Ming style camp layout structure.
When the winter sun rose above the clouds, Qin Qiong personally drove a carriage and drove Li Jing to the military camp. He was helped down by Qin Qiong. He looked obviously much better than before, but his eyes were red. , apparently seeing Li Shimin made the monarch and his ministers cry again.
Li Jing was helped over by Qin Qiong. He had an indescribable smile on his face. When he saw Su Chen, he still raised his hands a little weakly: "Li Jing pays homage to the king. Thank you King Xia for letting me live again. I can see you." Your Majesty and Uncle Bao!”
“Don’t be polite, old general”
Su Chen stepped forward to hold him up and smiled: "The past is over. The old general has a new life. There is no need to be cautious when you get here. You can use your troops with confidence. You can trust the old general."
"Haha!"< br>
A look of understanding flashed in Li Jing's eyes. He turned his gaze and looked at the surrounding military camps, and then looked at the fluttering "Tang" flag. He sighed: "It seems like we are back to the military camp back then. "
"I heard from General Qin that the king is going to fight those grassland barbarians, which are similar to the Turks back then. I don't know how many soldiers and horses the king has now, and how long will the food and grass be available? "
Probably they are coming? On the way, Qin Qiong had already told him everything.
"There are five armies alone, but four armies are stationed in the Central Plains and have not returned. Currently, there is only one Youyan army stationed at Yantang Pass, with a full strength of 20,000 people. There are also 4,000 white horse rebels. Here in the capital, there are five wolf-riding soldiers. Thousands, as well as the 20,000 Tang troops led by General Qin, plus 5,000 barbarians."
Su Chen is telling the truth. These 12,000 still include new soldiers and surrendered prisoners. If we want to Counting the believers on Zhang Jiao's side, there are more than this number, but there is no need for the Yellow Turban believers to join the army at the moment.
Speaking of this, he added: "The whole army has enough food to last three months!"
Li Jing closed his eyes and nodded, and asked: "Besides General Qin, who are the other generals?"
"Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Li Xuanba, Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, and the counselors are Jia Xu and Guo Jia."
Hearing the names "Lü Bu" and "Zhao Yun", Li Jing opened his eyes and was stunned. He thought he heard wrong, so he asked again: "Who?"
"Lü Bu, Zhao Yun. "Qin Qiong repeated Su Chen's words next to him.
Su Chen was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he said with a smile: "They will come over in a while. If General Li feels that it is not enough, he will have people work faster to mobilize Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, or any of Zhang Liao and Guan Yu. The troops and horses are back."
"His~~" Li Jing's face was startled for a while, and then he took a breath, "Although I have many troops and horses, I don't have the experience of the ancients as a general. I just don't know. Are the two generals, Lu and Zhao, willing to listen to me, the commander-in-chief of the younger generation?"
"Yes." Qin Qiong spoke first without Su Chen's need to answer: "They are all people who have died once. After experiencing so much, I have already looked away. ”
Li Jing looked at Qin Qiong suspiciously, stroked his beard and nodded: "Then I'll give it a try. Before I come... I have one more thing to ask the king."
"What's the matter? But it doesn't matter!"< br>
"Prepare a car for me... My bones won't recover for a while, and I can't ride a horse."
......
Boom! Dong Dong Dong——
The sky rose to noon, and the intensive and shocking drumbeats of the generals sounded in the military camp.
The vibrating rhythm of the drum surface was heard one after another, clearly spreading throughout the wilderness and the distant Yanjing City. In the bustling streets, traders and people stopped to look towards the south of the city.
Soon, the fast horses of the government offices were running through the east and west cities, or posting notices at the four gates.
Countless people looked at the writing on it, or listened to the scholar Lang Lang's words, and their blood seemed to be burning.
The recruited civilian husbands began to take to the streets or leave the village. They excitedly waved goodbye to their families and rushed to the scheduled camp to help load and unload grain.
Six-wheeled carriages, pulled by horses, were parked outside the military camp.
The drums of war continued to sound, and in the military camps stationed in the fields outside the city, there were also desolate horns blowing to echo it.
A large number of cavalry rushed out from another military camp. The pale sky reflected a red war horse. On the horse's back, there was a mighty figure wearing armor, and the outline of an animal face swallowing a head was running. He appears to be extraordinarily heroic.
"Follow me!" Lu Bu shouted sideways.
The sky is getting brighter.
Groups of cavalry galloped across the field toward the military camp in the south, and carts carrying heavy baggage were constantly gathering from all directions.
In the military camp with the banner with the word "Tang" flying, the soldiers of the Tang Army who gathered at the school wrapped their winter clothes tightly while checking their steel knives, spears, shields, and repeating crossbows one by one.
Soon the cavalry came galloping and stopped on the field. Lu Bu entered the camp gate with only a few cavalry, reined up his horse and got down in front of the Chinese army commander's tent. Just as he was about to enter the big tent, he suddenly said: "General Lu, Has the cavalry made any progress recently?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Lu Bu stopped and turned his head sharply.
I saw a young and handsome young general, wearing crotch armor and a sword hanging on his waist, holding a bay-red horse and looking at me with a smile
"Champion Hou"
The two stood in front of the big tent and looked at each other and laughed.
Some readers find it uncomfortable to switch between split shots. I will try to write as little as possible like this in the future.
