The general received the seal and set out for battle in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, on this day, he usually only traveled thirty miles.
The overall march speed of the 50,000-strong army cannot be increased at all, because the speed of the march is not measured by the speed of the fastest light cavalry, but by the speed of the slowest baggage team.
When marching in Guanzhong, the army can only carry three days' rations. After leaving Guanzhong, it can carry nine days' rations. After arriving in Bingzhou, the army can carry half a month's rations at a time.
However, the amount of food and grass carried by the army was finally calculated based on two months. First, it was inconvenient for the army to carry too much food and grass.
Secondly, this kind of independent army that is not controlled by the emperor should not have too much food and grass.
Therefore, when marching in the Tang Dynasty, food and grass were generally supplied by local state capitals.
Even if a state only provides five days of military rations to this 50,000-strong army in its territory, it has basically eaten up the state's treasury.
This is why local officials are so resistant and sad about the army's crossing.
The first destination of the army is Jinyang, so instead of taking Xianyang Bridge, they can only take Ba Bridge to the east.
The only person who bid farewell to Yunchu in Baqiao was Di Renjie.
This guy stood in the crowd and watched the army passing by. When he saw Yun Chu, he just waved and left. He looked very cool. He didn't even compose a poem, let alone send a willow branch to Yun Chu.
of romance.
The reason why Di Renjie was the only one to see him off was that Yun Chu's remaining friends were all in his army.
As the top medical officer for this army expedition, Lao He did not choose to stay in Li Ji's Chinese army camp, but chose to follow Yun Chu.
Of course, he was accompanied by 112 medical officers at all levels and 300 medicine boys.
Lao Huang of the Palace Gate Bureau, as the top ordnance repair officer for this army expedition, was also hiding in Yunchu's military camp.
Accompanying him were three hundred craftsmen of various types, as well as a huge amount of supplies for repairing weapons.
With the two of them joining, Yunchu's army has naturally turned into an army that is similar to one in charge of logistics.
Therefore, the 50,000-strong army marched meanderingly, among which the supplies, chariots and horses of Yunchu's army were the most spectacular.
The army left Baqiao, which can be said to have left Chang'an. At this time, Li Ji's authority was officially displayed.
The army arrived between Linhe and Tonghe, and after walking two miles further, they left Wannian County, the jurisdiction of Yunchu, and entered the territory of Xinfeng County.
So, Li Ji was very disgusted and camped at the foot of Mount Li, preparing to hold his first expanded military meeting here.
What is the most famous thing in Xinfeng County? Of course, it is Xinfeng wine, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Hu Cao from Wannian County has been coveting this kind of wine for two years. In order to achieve the goal of getting Xinfeng wine from Xinfeng County to Wannian County, Chen Hucao drank a lot of wine. Recently, he even developed rosacea.
However, judging from the report Yunchu received before leaving Chang'an County, Chen Hucao was confident that he would bring a new economic growth point to Wannian County - Xinfeng Wine before he drank himself to death!
Xinfeng wine is a filtered wine, which means it is very different from Green Ant wine. The wine pulp is as clear as water and has a long taste.
Wang Wei once wrote a poem: The wine of Xinfeng is worth ten thousand, and Xianyang has been a wanderer for many years. When we meet, we drink for you in spirit, and we tie our horses to the willows hanging from tall buildings.
This poem is very unique, and Yunchu plans to use this poem as an advertisement after Xinfeng wine starts to be sold in Wannian County.
If Li Ji encounters something difficult for him, he plans to recite Li Bai's "The Journey Is Difficult" after returning from Liaodong. In this way, not only can he bring Xinfeng wine in, but he can also recite "Golden Zun Sake Dou Ten".
The most important thing is that Li Ji's embarrassing behavior can be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
After all, history is like a little girl who can be dressed up by others. Su Dingfang, a good general, turned into a white-faced traitor in folklore. Could it be said that Li Ji is an exception?
The army finally camped in Wannian County.
Yun Chu's identity suddenly became embarrassing, because from the perspective of Wannian County, he was the host, but from the perspective of General Dingyuan, he became a guest again, and from the perspective of General Dingyuan Yun Chu
From the perspective of being a subordinate of Li Ji, the general of the town army, Wannian County is roughly equivalent to a subordinate of Li Ji.
What Yun Chu fears most is the unreasonable and unreasonable behavior of people like Li Ji who take advantage of their own lives.
Sure enough, just when Yun Chu's troops started to set up camp, there was heavy drumming from the Chinese army. Yun Chu sighed and rode a bay red horse to the Chinese army's tent. As the old saying goes - three drums are not enough.
Those who kill!
When Congyuanmen signed up and entered, Yun Chu clearly noticed that the flag official who was calling his name lingered on his face for a while.
Hurrying into the huge palace-like Chinese army tent, Yun Chu first looked at the official positions of the people present to determine where he should stand.
It didn't matter. He was surprised to find that there were two marching generals in the Chinese army's tent.
The one hanging on the left is the flag of the marching commander of Liaodong Road, and the flag on the right is the flag of the marching commander of Shenqiu Road.
Liaodong Road undoubtedly refers to Goguryeo, while Shenqiu Road generally refers to Baekje in the Tang Dynasty!
Just when Yunchu was confused, Pei Xingjian shouted to him: "Come here, you are under me."
Since there are no women in the army, they are basically hooligans. Pei Xingjian's greeting immediately aroused laughter from the audience.
Yunchu could still withstand this level of jokes. He came to Pei Xingjian and said to the two seats above, "Tell me."
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "This is a secret that only a fourth-grade official can know. You are a fifth-grade official and you are not qualified enough."
Yunchu said: "Only the Young Master was seen on the general meeting platform. In other words, the attack on Baekje was carried out in secret?"
Pei Xingjian saw that Yun Chu was serious about what he said, so he put away his cynicism and whispered: "The army was divided into two groups, one group was led by Ying Gong, the 260,000-strong army was called the 500,000-strong army, and they marched directly from Liaodong.
The main purpose was to attract the attention of Goguryeo's leader, Gozo, so that he could withdraw his troops from Silla territory, reduce the pressure on Silla, and then work with Su Gong to destroy Baekje first.
The other army was led by Su Gong, who was the general manager of the Shenqiu Road march. He led an army of 100,000 and set out from Chengshan (today's Rongcheng, Shandong Province), crossed the sea and conquered Baekje from the west.
In fact, there was a third group of people, King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, who led the Silla army to attack Baekje from the east.
According to the military strategy, His Majesty has made a very strong determination this time, and is ready to destroy Goguryeo, Baekje, and Jisilla in one fell swoop, or simply set up prefectures and counties in these three countries."
Yun Chu took a breath when he heard this and whispered: "There are only 360,000 people. Is it too underestimated?"
Pei Xingjian whispered: "Your Majesty has really made a big bet this time. All the prefectures and counties north of the river will provide food and grass supplies for the army.
His Majesty is very determined, and his determination is even more ruthless than that of Yang Guang back then. In any case, Yang Guang recruited nearly two million troops and civilians back then, but the 360,000 of us are all elites.
Generally speaking, as long as the strategy is used properly, military strategy should be achieved."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "It seems that this time on the battlefield, it is not enough to use one person as an animal. At least one person must be used as three animals."
Pei Xingjian pointed to the generals who were gradually occupying the military tent and said: "So, all the troops deployed this time are elites. If we win, everything will be easy. If we lose, the Tang Dynasty will be in the doldrums for at least twenty years."
Having said this, Pei Xingjian patted Yunchu on the shoulder and said: "I don't dare to hide it this time, use as much strength as you can, and use as much ability as you have.
If we win, our brothers will be able to live a good life for thirty years; if we lose, the Tang army will become the sinners pointed out by thousands of people."
Yun Chu nodded. This was the first time he felt that Pei Xingjian had really good vision.
Yunchu was not originally worried about the conquest of Goguryeo because, as far as he knew, Li Zhi achieved all his military goals.
...It’s just that it shouldn’t be the first year of Xianqing, but six or seven years later.
Yun Chu now only hopes that there is an error in his memory, because if the time is wrong, things should be very different.
However, the government soldiers in 1967 may not be as elite as they are now, and Li Ji and Su Dingfang in 67 years may not be as decisive as they are now.
Not to mention, Li Ji and Su Dingfang had gunpowder as a weapon to attack the city.
This battle should have been officially implemented after careful consideration by Li Zhi, Li Ji, Su Dingfang and other veterans.
It is absolutely impossible for Li Zhi to have his own way.
Compared to Li Zhi, Yunchu was more willing to believe in Li Ji and Su Dingfang.
Just when Yun Chu's mind was filled with the lawsuit, Li Ji and Su Dingfang appeared in the tent surrounded by a group of generals.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is Qibi Heli who is missing one ear. Qibi Heli is from Tiele. Ever since he took refuge with Emperor Taizong, he has been known for his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. Even after being defeated by Xue Yantuo,
Khan caught Zhenzhu, but he did not rebel. Instead, he cut off one ear and swore that he would not rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Emperor Taizong exchanged him for a princess from Xue Yantuo, which was the ultimate honor and favor.
Yun Chu couldn't help but take another look at this man who had been loyal to Li Zhi for more than a thousand years. Not only did he fight for the Li Dynasty all his life, but even after his death, his descendants still guarded Li Zhi and Wu The mausoleum where Meihe was buried was more than a thousand years old.
As a result, this tomb has experienced more than a thousand years of ups and downs.
Our ancestors took it as their duty to guard the Qianling Mausoleum, and they still persisted in guarding the Qianling Mausoleum after many years of changing dynasties.
Huang Chao has been here, Zhu Wen has been here, Genghis Khan has been here, and there is still a big hole dug by Huang Chao in his attempt to rob the tomb.
However, Huang Chao did not succeed, Zhu Wen did not succeed, and Genghis Khan did not succeed. When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded, the people of Qianzhou gathered two thousand people in the village to protect the Qianling Mausoleum. They fought with the Mongolian Yuan army for nearly a year in Tucheng, killing the enemy. More than ten thousand.
The Mongolian and Yuan troops were no longer strong, and they made an alliance under the city not to take the Qianling cup of land, but only to cross the border. After that, the people of Qianzhou were greatly shaken, and the wars between the Ming, Li Chuang, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not affect Qianzhou.
Even after the new government was established, attempts to excavate the Qianling Mausoleum were unsuccessful, so that the Qianling Mausoleum became the only one among the eighteen tombs of Tang Dynasty emperors that had not been robbed.
Looking at Qibi Heli's hairy face with one ear missing, Yunchu really felt at this moment that Li Zhi was really a very happy emperor, except that he didn't have a good wife.
The city has been locked down again, and the whole city is silent. The lockdown will be lifted at least until after the holiday. Today is nucleic acid and panic buying again. How can anyone be so busy?
