Chapter 201
On this night when the army was in high spirits, the dignified Annan General Chen Yue walked back to his mansion alone and dejectedly.
General Xiaoqiu's mansion, which was previously full of maids and concubines, was temporarily used as Chenyue's General Annan's mansion, but those maids and servants were gone, replaced by a group of rough guys led by Xiao Shangwen, and the thousands of Chenyue's
The remaining soldiers.
As soon as Chen Yue's weak feet stepped into the hall, a burst of laughter came over.
"Hey, General Chen is back. Is there any wine left? Give me some. It's said to be good wine from Yangzhou. I, a countryman like me, haven't tasted it yet."
Chen Yue looked up angrily and saw Chu Yucheng, dressed in white, sitting in the room and looking at him with a smile.
"Can we skip this topic?" Chen Yue muttered angrily, walked straight to Chu Yucheng, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Okay, no more joking." Chu Yucheng put away his smile and asked seriously: "Let's get down to business, how do you reply from Zhao Zhongtian?"
After a busy day, it’s time to think about the army’s conquest.
"To be honest, the current combat effectiveness of their two armies is not good enough. I originally wanted them to practice for a while." Chen Yue said with a trace of worry on his face.
Although Chen Yue had never seen with his own eyes what the army assembled in Yangzhou looked like, the combat power of the temporarily formed army could be imagined, not to mention that there was a group of bandits and bandits in it.
"Haha." Chu Yucheng smiled slightly: "The Zhao family has spent a lot of money this time. Now I don't want to wait a day. They are eager to get credit."
Chen Yue smiled bitterly, stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall to examine it. Chu Yucheng also stood up.
"The imperial court decreed that the war must be ended before the end of the year. It will be more difficult to attack the city in winter, so we really need to speed up the pace." Chu Yucheng said lightly.
"Okay." Chen Yue nodded, and the expression on his face became serious: "Send a message to Zhao Zhongtian and Tang Xing'an, and the two armies will immediately attack the entire Fuzhou from the east and west directions and clear out other cities. It will take up to twenty days.
, we must meet at the foot of Fuzhou City!"
"No!" Chu Yucheng looked stern and responded in a deep voice.
Early the next morning, two fast horses in Luzhou City went straight to Taizhou and Longtai County. With the arrival of two military orders, the war in Fuzhou resumed!
Zhao Zhongtian was overjoyed after receiving Chen Yue's military order. He thought that the wine he sent was still useful, and Chen Yue really gave him face.
So he immediately sent his troops eastward and invaded Fuzhou. Except for leaving a few troops to garrison Taizhou, all Yangzhou troops were dispatched. Zhao Zhongtian was able to fight with all his strength this time.
Although the hot and sultry weather in summer makes people feel irritated, Zhao Zhongtian is very excited because the military success is right in front of him!
The East Route Army was slightly slower than Zhao Zhongtian's Yangzhou Army because Longtai County was far away from Fuzhou and there was Luzhou in the middle.
When Tang Xing'an passed through Luzhou with an army of 50,000, he personally led a group of people to Luzhou City and wanted to have an interview with Chenyue.
Chenyue was also quite surprised by Tang Xing'an's sudden arrival. Logically speaking, although he was a military commander, there was no need for Tang Xing'an to go all the way to see him.
In fact, the first purpose of Tang Xing'an's visit was that he had little confidence in the combat power of his and Zhao Zhongtian's armies, so he came to Chenyue specifically to ask if there were any good ways to attack the city and to learn from it.
Secondly, they were annoyed by a group of wealthy young men in the army. They insisted on taking a detour to Luzhou to see what the famous Liangzhou Cavalry looked like.
In the end, Tang Xing'an had no choice but to agree because of the families behind these people, but he strictly demanded that they could only look outside Luzhou City and not enter the city.
Tang Xing'an knew that these second-generation ancestors were bad-tempered and were good for nothing but causing trouble. If they had a conflict with Liangzhou soldiers in the city and one or two were killed, how would he be able to do business when he returned to Beijing?
On the official road outside Luzhou City, the sun was shining brightly and there was only a little breeze blowing.
A dozen wealthy young men in bright armor were standing on horseback, surrounded by about a hundred guards, all private soldiers brought by their respective families.
Everyone looked at the Luzhou City in front of them from a distance. From time to time, teams of sentry riders would come and go at the city gate. There was also a small Liangzhou military camp outside the city. Occasionally, some Liangzhou infantry came and went.
"Master Hui, from a distance it seems that the Liangzhou Army is not very good!" A young man from a rich family with a frivolous face said to the person beside him.
Another person said contemptuously: "That's right, in the past six months, my ears have almost become calloused when I hear the name of the Liangzhou Cavalry in the capital. I don't think they are any better than the private soldiers in our family!"
The person called Hui Shao was a young man whose family was the most powerful among the people, and the elders in the family had close contacts with the Yuwen family, so all the young men implicitly considered him as the leader.
"Haha, I'm just a country bumpkin at the border. I'm afraid that I defeated King Fu because he was really useless." A slight smile appeared on Shao Hui's lips, with a calm look on his face: "This attack on Fuzhou looks like a
It’s an easy job.”
"Doesn't that mean we have already received the credit? We will also be cavalry in the future, let these Liangzhou soldiers see our majesty!" A young man with a sinister look said excitedly.
Young Master Hui raised his riding whip proudly, pointed straight ahead and said: "From now on, there will be my Beijing cavalry on top of the Liangzhou cavalry!"
"Hahaha! Mr. Hui is right! The Liangzhou cavalry should be my Beijing cavalry!"
"Master Hui's words are really inspiring and domineering, haha!"
Hui Shao's words made a group of wealthy people around him start to flatter him, which made Hui Shao look proud. What young people can't bear the most is the adulation from everyone, not to mention that the people who praise him are considered to be the most prestigious in the capital.
The son of the family.
This group of wealthy children grew up in the gentle countryside of the capital. They indulged themselves in wine pools and meat forests all day long. They had not been to the border for more than 20 years, and they did not understand what it meant to fight on the battlefield, and fight with iron horses.
In their opinion, riding a tall horse, wearing a bright sword on the waist, and wearing a set of expensive armor made with a lot of money from the family is an upright man. Naturally, they looked down on the slightly simple frontier army who came all the way from Liangzhou.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was laughing, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind everyone, and a group of black-armored soldiers appeared on the official road, running towards Luzhou City along the official road, with a mountain-shaped camp flag swaying in the wind.
It turned out that Qian Zimo, the captain of the Shanziying School, was just returning from patrol with hundreds of cavalry, and he encountered this group of rich men blocking the official road.
