Chapter 58 The Sui State sent troops to fight at night
There were only countless strange thoughts quietly rising deep in my heart.
After retreating from the imperial court, the empire, which was at its peak, began to operate at overload.
The army of one million and the logistics of more than two million civilians need to be prepared within a month.
Such a huge emergency operation would never have been possible if the Sui Dynasty had not been at its peak and Yang Guang had held power in the past three years.
When the action was taken openly, all the voices were supportive, but secretly, naturally, some people made extremely dissatisfied voices.
"It's too urgent! If we send troops like this to capture Goguryeo, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses for us in the Sui Dynasty."
"Your Majesty wants to use the national destiny and military power to reach the realm of heaven and man. As we all know, the Grand Canal is just the beginning.
The Ming Dynasty and the Meng Yuan Dynasty are about to fight. How could your Majesty let this opportunity go?
He will do it at all costs.
And his target is probably not just Goguryeo.
A Goguryeo is far from allowing him to break through to the realm of heaven and man.
It would be okay if he could always succeed, but if he failed, haha. ”
····
The capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if Ming Dynasty was well prepared for things thousands of miles away, it would not be able to receive the news in time.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang, who looked even more tired, looked at the news he had just received two or three days ago.
Happy and worried at the same time.
Zhao'er, you must be well.
“Your Majesty and the officials, we can no longer hide it.
The cabinet and six ministers jointly requested to see His Majesty, inquired about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, and impeached Dongchang and Jinyiwei. "He Ding walked over quickly at this time and said respectfully.
"It's good to be able to hide it for these days, not to mention that Zhao'er made such a big noise in the northwest, confiscating many squires, landlords and Martial arts forces and some officials.
It is normal for news to be sent back to Beijing. "Zhu Youtang said without surprise.
He never underestimates the power of civil servants.
Although they have no power themselves, they are one of the cornerstones of governing the Ming Dynasty.
Behind them, there are countless gentry and landlords, and more importantly, their connections with the martial arts forces are getting deeper and deeper.
The intelligence is so sensitive that once they work together, they will be even better than the Ming Dynasty royal family.
"The deal is done and cannot be changed. It's time to have a good talk with them and announce it." Zhu Youtang sighed softly and said firmly.
It’s time to make it clear so that we can fully respond to the possible war that will follow.
"Yes." He Ding responded and went to convey the order.
Zhu Youtang suddenly turned pale and held his chest with his hands. He felt a burst of angina and his head felt dizzy.
I quickly drank a bowl of decoction and calmed down for a while before cheering up.
Soon, there was a dispute in the Qianqing Palace.
For a long time, most of the cabinet and six ministers left the Qianqing Palace unhappy and helpless.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming court began to operate, providing support for the northern border and preparing for the possible war that would follow.
Immediately, the news quickly spread throughout the capital.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry into the Kingdom of Jin to establish slaves!
It immediately detonated the capital.
Excited, worried, shocked, spectators, etc., all kinds of comments became more and more intense.
And Zhu Youtang even ordered that as long as the prince did not say anything bad about leading the army, there was no need to worry about it. He also added fuel to the flames, making the discussion more heated and affecting people's hearts.
He was not worried that the expedition would fail.
Zhao'er has already entered the Jin Kingdom's Jianu territory. As long as he can return, even if Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry suffers heavy losses, it will not be considered a failure.
····
When all countries were moved by it, it attracted the attention of all countries in the world.
In the afternoon, outside Shengjing City, the world was filled with a sense of solemnity.
Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry was still more than twenty miles away from Jiannu's army.
Golden blue light bloomed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, looking at the roiling military force in the distance.
After ten breaths, a look of seriousness rose in his eyes, and he turned to look at the Martial Emperor Dragon Cavalry again.
My eyes rolled, I pondered for a moment, then I raised my hand and said loudly: "Rest where you are, Qiu Yue, lead your troops and set up camp." All the generals were shocked.
But no one dared to question it. After answering, Emperor Wu Longqi stopped and rested on the spot.
This movement immediately shocked the Jiannu army, as well as the two martial arts experts who had drawn their swords and were ready to take action at any time.
"There must be a reason why His Highness did not attack. Don't take action first. Ask His Highness first." Zhu Wu said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded.
‘Old Prince, you are the fastest, please take a trip. ’ Zhu Wu ignored and sent a message to Xu Ruowu in the dark.
Xu Ruowu simply responded and quickly headed to the Martial Emperor Dragon Cavalry.
A few miles away opposite.
The Ice King and the Divine General pondered for a while and suppressed their intention to take action.
Send someone to ask Huang Taiji what he means.
In the army of slaves.
Huang Taiji and all the senior officials were a little surprised.
They were all ready to fight today. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao chose to stop the army and rest.
"Could it be that seeing the strength of my army, Zhu Houzhao came on the road today after having a big battle yesterday, so he wanted to rest for a night before fighting my army again?" Dai Shan pondered.
"Then we won't give him time. Your Majesty, why don't we send troops immediately and destroy him in one battle." Mang Gurtai said murderously.
Most of the other generals also spoke in agreement.
Huang Taiji thought for a while, raised his hand to stop the generals' voices, glanced at the sky, and said solemnly: "It will be dark in more than an hour. It will be disadvantageous for our army to take the initiative to send troops to fight at this time.
And every time we delay, our army will gather more troops.
Don't worry.
Zhu Houzhao is the one who should be anxious."
< br>“The whole army is ordered to rest, but the vigilance cannot be relaxed.
Mang Gurtai, lead your troops on alert. ”
“嗻. "Mang Gurtai responded with a salute.
"Go and tell the two gentlemen that there is no need to rush to take action. "Huang Taiji ordered again.
A figure went quickly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send a cavalry to harass the Ming army? Preventing them from resting in peace. "A general suggested.
"No need, we can't stop Zhu Houzhao from taking action himself." Huang Taiji shook his head.
Everyone will understand, no more words will be said.
In the large tent of Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry.
Faced with the insubstantial inquiry, Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly, with a somewhat immature look on his face, and said arrogantly and confidently: "Today the prince of Japan saw the army of slave builders, about 60,000 people. .
Although Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry will definitely be able to destroy it, if they fight hard at this time, the losses will not be small.
Therefore, this prince must use his own strengths and attack their weaknesses to solve them at the minimum cost.
This prince wants to fight at night. "
Night battle!
It was completely unexpected, completely unexpected.
"Your Highness, night battle——" He subconsciously wanted to persuade him, but stopped. Lived.
Since ancient times, when the two armies have fought, apart from night attacks, there have been very few night battles.
There are many reasons.
Many soldiers cannot see at all at night, cannot command, have too many accidents, etc.
If something is wrong at all, it can easily lead to self-defeation and heavy losses.
But it seems that Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry can.
