Chapter 823
Shunzhou, Anshun City
Chen Yue's figure appeared in the schoolyard in the city. A few days after Xue Leihan returned to Liaodong, Chen Yue also set out.
The purpose of this trip to Liaodong was to inspect the preparations for the various troops in the territory and the people's livelihood in Liaodong.
Accompanying Chen Yue were Tong Chengxiang, Shen Xiufu and Li Siye.
On the school ground, three thousand Modao soldiers were practicing in an orderly manner with long swords in their hands.
"one!"
"drink!"
"two!"
"Hoho!"
"one!"
...
The long sword is like a forest, and the fierce soldiers are like iron.
There were waves of shouts and shouts, deafening.
The three thousand troops were lined up with fifty men and five hundred men in a square formation, with a total of six square formations, which was terrifying.
The Modao Army is now completely different from when the army was first established. Not only has the number of troops expanded to 10,000, but the armor and shields worn by the soldiers have been replaced.
The soldier wore a fish scale armor on his upper body. As the name suggests, iron sheets hung on it, a bit like fish scales.
The iron armor only covers the base of the soldiers' thighs. The knee pads are made of several iron pieces, and the inner side is a stitching cloth wrapped in circles.
This is a standard military uniform specially tailored for the Modao Army, which mainly concentrates defense on the upper body.
Because the Modao Army mainly acts as a means of resisting horses, it is difficult for the lower body to be attacked.
If you fight with ordinary infantrymen, you may be able to win even if you are naked.
"No, the army is neat and the army is majestic. The Modao Army is much more intimidating than before, haha." Chen Yue praised with satisfaction on his face.
Since the Battle of Liaodong ended, the Modao Army has never accepted any combat missions. Whether it is a plague or a building of the Yunjin defense line, the Modao Army is outside it and is only focused on training.
There are 300,000 Liang troops, and the main cavalry can call them as many as 150,000.
In contrast, the infantry army had only the Chongjia Battalion, which was the first to go to the camp, the Yungu Camp and the Modao Army and other troops, and the Modao Army, which had the largest number of people, was the one Chen Yue was most concerned about.
"Prince, our Modaojun is not just looking at the bluff. If we really want to start, we will be invincible!" Li Siye said with a confident look on his face.
Most of the infantry drawn by the Modao Army were strong people, and most of them were old soldiers. After long-term training, their combat power had been improved by several levels, so Li Siye had this confidence.
"Okay, what I want is your words." Chen Yue said with satisfaction.
"Prince, two days ago, you asked Lord Xue to pass a message, and asked the Zhenliao Army and Modao Army, who were left in Shuntan, to prepare for the war. Is it going to fight a big battle?" Li Siye asked excitedly rubbed his hands.
"Why, General Li can't wait?" Tong Chengxiang joked beside him.
After two years of serving as a strategic envoy in Liaodong, he has become very familiar with the Liaodong group of civil officials and military generals. He can also make a few jokes from time to time. Tong Chengxiang has never felt this kind of official atmosphere in the capital.
"hey-hey."
Li Siye smiled: "Brothers are all men fighting on the battlefield. They have been idle for more than two years, and they really can't stand their temper."
"Don't worry, it's a matter of time sooner or later." Chen Yue said with his eyes narrowed.
"Okay!"
Several people were walking casually on the school ground. After watching the army, Chen Yue cared about the logistics: "Mr. Tong, it's winter now. Have the 70,000 people and the food and clothing collected in the direction of Yunjin?"
"It's all, and it's being transported continuously. After the materials arrive at Jinyang Pass, General Wang will send people to various fortresses." Tong Chengxiang replied softly.
"Anthracene, it may snow after winter. In order to prevent heavy snow from blocking the mountain, the speed of transporting materials should be accelerated." Chen Yue reminded again.
"I understand, don't worry, prince."
Tong Chengxiang smiled happily. Compared to the scene where he had just arrived in Liaodong, all the wastes were prosperous, the old man is now very comfortable in handling the affairs of Liaodong.
Liaodong, which has experienced three stable autumn harvests, has achieved that most families can eat enough, and it is difficult for people to starve to death.
Not only that, a large amount of stored grain was stored in the treasury and the military preparatory department, which was enough for the long-term use of the army.
Chen Yue looked up at the sky, then smiled and said, "Sir Tong, I heard that you are a famous chess player in the capital. How about you, accompany me to play a game?"
"Anchan? When will Prince An play chess?" Tong Chengxiang looked surprised.
In Tong Chengxiang's impression, Chen Yue has always been uninterested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his mind is full of government affairs and money.
"Hey, I learned from Lord Song in Beiliang, haha." Chen Yue laughed.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the prince has learned some real kung fu from Lord Song and has come to see Lord Tong to discuss it." Shen Xiufu laughed beside him.
"Okay! Then I will accompany the prince to fight!" Tong Chengxiang also laughed.
"Walk!"
The few people hit it off and walked out of the schoolyard with big strides. However, as soon as they walked out of the schoolyard, they were blocked by Wang Rusong who rushed over.
"General Wang, what's wrong? He ran out of breath." Tong Chengxiang asked with confusion on his face.
"That's right, the prince is going to play chess with Lord Tong. Could it be that General Wang is here to watch the battle?" Shen Xiufu's face was full of confusion.
"Prince, Lord Tong, I'm afraid you'll be delayed in playing chess." Wang Rusong smiled bitterly and took out a military newspaper from his arms:
"The wolf smoke has risen from Luoyun City. Two thousand Yan troops sneaked into the territory and attacked many fortresses in our army. Hundreds of soldiers died in battle."
"What!"
The few people suddenly widened their eyes, Chen Yue's brows frowned, and took the military newspaper and quickly glanced at them.
"Two thousand people went deep into our territory, and there was a lot of noise." Chen Yue murmured softly after reading the military newspaper.
Li Siye echoed on the side: "If these two thousand people were just scouts standing in front, I'm afraid most of the Yan army would be behind them."
"Is Yan State going to take action?" Tong Chengxiang was very surprised: "Isn't it winter now? It's not a good time to start a war."
Chen Yue narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhuge is right. Yan State only launched troops after seeing the civil strife in our court. Humph, he is really ambition. He doesn't want to wait for so many months."
"Mr. Zhuge is really a god-like prediction." Wang Rusong said with a smacking mouth.
Everyone had to accept it. From now on, all Zhuge's remarks in the Liangshan camp at that time were fulfilled.
After the plague, there will be a major disaster, and after the plague, there will be a major chaos. As long as the turmoil occurs, the Yan army will definitely lead its troops south.
"Prince? What should I do now?" Wang Rusong asked, standing aside.
Chen Yue pinched the military newspaper in his hand into a regiment and shouted: "Zhen Liao Army, Mo Dao Army, the whole army headed to Luoyun City.
I want to go to Luoyun City to see the specific situation. The matters in Shuntan include Lord Laotong and General Wang.
The battle starts, all the materials needed on the front line must be allocated as soon as possible, and no mistakes must be made!"
