After Chen Gang's death, Zhao Yun led a large army to attack the Liang army at night and won a great victory. He beheaded more than 40,000 people and the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 troops fled in all directions.

After two days of rest, Xiao Yuming brought 20,000 heavy armored cavalry to Zhao Yun to replenish his troops.

After Zhao Yun thanked him, he led the army and continued through the dangerous canyon.

Later generations recorded Zhao Yun's Long March as a miracle.

In this era, being able to lead nearly 300,000 troops through the inaccessible Grand Canyon with minimal casualties is rare in history and is shocking.

Due to the deliberate exaggeration in historical records, the Long March was rumored to be somewhat miraculous.

Of course, these are all things for later.

For now, how to cross the canyon safely has become Zhao Yun's top priority.

Since the winter, the Tang army's behavior has been unfriendly.

In addition to the army led by Xia Ji, the Tang army reactivated Deng Qi and led an army of 400,000 to march into the Liang Kingdom.

Anyway, they declared to the outside world that they were going to occupy the Liang Kingdom.

As for what Tang Guo had in mind, it is unknown.

Anyway, when the Tang State sent Deng Qi to go on an expedition, Luoyang also learned about the news and urgently discussed countermeasures in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Such an approach by the Tang State would easily restrict the Wei army to passivity.

Zhao Changqing was not angry, but Zhuge Liang was very angry. He said: "No matter how hard it is, Tang Guo couldn't bear its loneliness and actually took the initiative to send troops to Liang Guo. Our initiative on the battlefield of Liang Guo cannot be lost to Tang Guo.

In hand."

Cao Cao, who was the Minister of War at the time, also said: "The Tang State is extremely ambitious. They must be worried that we will strengthen themselves by swallowing the Liang State, so they chose to send troops to intervene with us."

Yan Song and the others were also in the Xuanzheng Hall at this moment, and expressed their opinions to the emperor.

But Zhao Changqing didn't seem to pay much attention to it. He looked at He Shen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry is building a mausoleum for me recently?"

All the civil and military officials present felt a little confused. This was talking about the Tang Dynasty. How could it be related to the mausoleum?

Is that a priority?

He Shen bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is indeed true. According to the ancestral system, the mausoleum should be repaired."

Zhao Changqing laughed and scolded: "Now that I am in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, why should I build a mausoleum? All the money spent on building the mausoleum will be used to subsidize the military."

Before Heshen could reply, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention whether it violates the ancestral system, there is basically nothing to spend on military supplies!"

Zhao Changqing said: "Why not? Didn't I just hear that Tang State sent Deng Qi as commander to march to Liang State? Jianyi, you are a land god with fast feet. Tell Chen Qingzhi as fast as possible, at all costs.

, to stop Deng Qi."

Zhuge Liang worriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is equivalent to declaring war with the Tang State. If we go to war with the Tang State, we, the Wei State, will face the pressure of both countries."

Zhao Changqing said: "Do you have any better way?"

Zhuge Liang was speechless for a moment.

Zhao Changqing looked at Jian Yi again and said: "Let's set off immediately."

Jianyi immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Jian Yi left the hall, Zhao Changqing asked Zhao Gao to personally read out an imperial edict, instructing King Changlin, who was far away in Chang'an, to immediately lead his 300,000 Changlin troops to assist Chen Qingzhi and block the Tang army.

Then, Zhao Changqing said to Zhuge Liang: "I am now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely not die in the short term. All the money for building the mausoleum will be used to provide military supplies for the Changlin Army. As for the mausoleum, it will be built a few years later."

Cultivation, or not cultivation.”

Zhuge Liang was shocked.

In addition to the original 1.5 million, combined with the 300,000 from the Changlin Army, there will be a total of 1.8 million troops, all of which have been sent outside!

Not only was he surprised, the rest of the people were all extremely shocked.

With an army of 1.8 million, among the few countries in the world, who still has this strength?

People outside the world don't know about it at all, and this is not the true military power of Wei.

Wei State still has 300,000 Imperial Guards!

These 300,000 are all heavily armored cavalry.

Moreover, each of them has martial arts cultivation.

Only Zhao Changqing can command this Imperial Guard.

It is no exaggeration to say that this army can be as strong as a million-strong army.

During the few years when all countries were in peace, Zhao Changqing invested a lot of energy in this army.

Zhao Changqing would not send out this army unless it was absolutely necessary, but he had already made a plan in his heart, and he would definitely use this army when he attacked the Tang Dynasty in the future.

At that time, as an ace force, it can deal a fatal blow to the Tang army.

The proceedings at the Xuanzheng Hall are over.

A few days later.

Jianyi arrived in Wei.

He saw Chen Qingzhi, and the two were standing on a piece of snow.

Jianyi said: "Your Majesty's intention is to let General Chen stop the Tang army at all costs."

Chen Qingzhi said: "The combined forces of Tang coach Deng Qi and Xia Ji have more than 700,000 troops. If we want to launch a full-scale attack, I am afraid that I will have more than enough ambition but not enough power."

Jian nodded and said: "Before coming again, I heard from His Majesty that King Changlin has already sent troops. I believe that the vanguard of Changlin Army will be able to arrive here within a month at most."

Chen Qingzhi smiled and said: "That's very good, but if His Majesty's ace troops can follow tens of thousands, I, the general, will be sure to keep all the Tang troops here."

Jian Yi smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the plan in General Chen's mind will come to nothing. When I came, I didn't hear His Majesty say that he wanted to bring the heavy armored cavalry over. Of course, if General Chen writes a letter at this moment, let me bring it over.

,Perhaps, His Majesty will send some heavy armored cavalry."

Chen Qingzhi laughed and said: "You, you, don't make fun of me. I won't do that kind of scolding. If General Cao was alive, I would dare to say that. After all, no matter how angry your majesty is, there will always be General Cao."

The general is at the front."

Jianyi fell silent upon hearing the sound.

After a while, he said: "Farewell."

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said: "I won't send it away, we still need to prepare the army."

Jian Yi couldn't help but warned: "Be careful when you are out on an expedition. Your Majesty is very relieved that you have a large number of troops at the moment. You must fight hard and not let down His Majesty's trust. The battlefields of the two countries are very important. Which country has the most important force?"

If you lose, everything will be lost."

Chen Qingzhi said: "Don't worry, after many years of military service, no one knows better than me what outcome your Majesty wants."

The sword is gone.

He walked very freely.

He did not return directly to the capital to resume his duties, but wanted to see if the situation on the Liang Kingdom battlefield was optimistic.

Currently, Zhao Yun's army is stagnant due to heavy snow.

However, Bai Qi and Yue Fei's troops were reluctant to launch a general attack because of Zhao Yun.
