Chapter 625: Raid on the Monster Race
Zhao Yuan, who was far away in Luoyang, was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he heard the news that he had successfully crossed the river.
Morning the next day.
He informed the civil and military officials about this matter.
The whole hall suddenly burst into cheers.
Zhao Yuan was also very happy.
After crossing the river, it can be said that the battle between the human race and the monster race is at ease.
"Although we won this battle, generally speaking, it did not meet my expectations. We cannot wipe out the enemy's main force in one go. The reason is that our army stretched the front too long in this battle.
The last battle was because the army led by the King of Tang was enough for us to send supplies once and last for a long time. But this time is different. After all, there are four to five million people. The supplies we just sent were not even half a month old.
Just eat it all, and then follow up immediately.
Tell me, who can solve this problem?"
Zhao Yuan has always wanted to solve the problem of the supply line being too long.
But when he saw that the civil and military officials in the court were completely silent, he already knew how difficult this matter was to handle.
"In any case, as for the supplies for the army, they must be replenished as soon as possible. Fan Xian, I will leave this matter to you. The Ministry of Revenue will fully support it. Are there any difficulties?" Zhao Yuan turned his attention to the household.
On the body of the minister.
There shouldn't be any problem with Fan Xian.
The main thing is to see if the household department is stingy.
Sure enough, just when Fan Xian was pleased to accept the order, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue spoke, "Your Majesty, as for the supplies of the army, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while. Now that the cold winter is approaching, it is more difficult for small ministers and supplies to be allocated.
But Wei Chen promises that before the new year, the frontline soldiers will be allowed to wear cotton-padded clothes and have a hot meal."
As for whether the clothes are made of cotton or not, it actually doesn’t matter anymore.
After all, the frontline soldiers are all warriors.
The severe cold could not do anything to them.
However, if you do not become a master in the true martial arts realm, you must eat.
Besides, Zhao Yuan didn't want to wait such a long time.
"I know that your household is in trouble, but if you are in trouble, how can you have trouble on the front line? Do you know how many soldiers of our human race died in the battle across the river this time? No less than a million!
This is the most tragic casualty for our human race in history. Rivers of blood are flowing. The soldiers on the front line are in difficulty! Your household department should think of ways to help the army on the front line survive this crisis." Zhao Yuan is already very happy.
He spoke to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance in a pleasant manner.
But he still looked depressed, "Your Majesty, to be honest, in order to support the army in the expedition, the people of Jiuzhou have already made a lot of efforts. If we continue to levy food and grass from them, I am afraid that the people will be particularly sad this year.
."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan stood up and said directly: "Okay, this is the end of the matter."
The ministers bid farewell to the emperor.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
The Minister of Hubu was standing in front of Zhao Yuan.
"I know that the household department is already having a hard time, and the people of Kyushu are also having an even harder time. However, we cannot abandon the soldiers on the front line and ignore them just because of this. I thought about it, and the supplies must be collected within a month.
, and send it to King Changlin within two months. Only in this way can we hope to end the war before the year."
Zhao Yuan is giving the final notice.
The Minister of Household Affairs had no choice but to agree to the emperor's request.
Within two months, enough supplies will be collected for the use of the army.
In fact, Zhao Changlin is also discussing whether to launch an attack on the demon clan this year.
However, the almost unanimous opinion can only be expressed in four words: ‘take advantage of the victory and pursue it’.
As long as there are sufficient supplies, no matter what, we have to fight again before the year.
Only in this way can the speed of the demon clan's recovery from injuries be delayed.
At the end of the year, give the enemy a painful and final blow.
"Back then, the Supreme Emperor liked to use his troops by surprise. One of them was that he liked to take advantage of the heavy snow to send troops. You must have not forgotten those battles that were fought in the snowy weather when he attacked the Liang Kingdom, right? He almost almost defeated them.
Liang Guo was beaten to death once and for all, and I think this time will be no exception. Even if there is heavy snow ahead, we will still fight what needs to be beaten."
Zhao Yun was the first to give his opinion.
Bai Qi and others unanimously agreed.
Now, it was the turn of militant activist Zhao Hongji to be dumbfounded.
He was warlike and did not expect to send troops to attack the enemy in the snowy weather.
Isn't this a taboo?
Zhao Changlin noticed the depressed expression on Zhao Hongji's face and laughed out loud: "This is the fighting style of these veterans. They don't like to follow the rules and they always do whatever they want."
Tang Wang Zhao Hongji could only smile awkwardly.
He didn't dare to say anything more.
These people are all his seniors.
Pick someone out at random, and even if you teach him a lesson, he won't dare to say anything.
As a junior, even though you are a prince, you cannot maintain your identity and be proud in front of them.
Because according to their achievements in destroying the country, even the current emperor must show courtesy when meeting them.
"When I led the army to conquer the Monster Clan, I didn't know the situation of the Monster Clan, so I adopted guerrilla tactics. I just attacked and left wherever I could. I just wanted to understand the Monster Clan's territory. Unfortunately, in that battle, we
We only hit the demon capital.
His Royal Highness, the latecomer, has far surpassed us. When I knew that His Highness, the Tang Dynasty, led his army to attack the sacred mountain of the demon clan, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
Now, it is my turn to have this opportunity, and I must enjoy it. Old prince, please give me an army of 200,000, and I plan to choose a suitable time to surprise the demon clan."
...
After the supplies arrived, it was already two months later.
This is already the fastest speed that the imperial court can guarantee.
As soon as the supplies arrived, Bai Qi immediately led his army to fight.
The results were as expected.
The bear was defeated.
Escape all the way to the Holy Mountain.
Bai Qi took advantage of the victory to pursue and finally captured the Demon Clan's Holy Mountain.
He set up camp in the sacred mountain of the demon tribe.
Prepare to fight the final battle with the demon clan together with the army later in the year.
But no one expected this battle.
Bai Qi actually reached the Holy Mountain in one go.
This incident was really unexpected.
I originally thought that the demon tribe would set up an ambush around the Holy Mountain. However, from the beginning, they never thought about protecting the Holy Mountain.
This allowed Bai Qi to exploit a big loophole.
As soon as this news reached Luoyang.
This will make the king and his ministers excited.
With the Holy Mountain captured, the demon clan no longer has anything to rely on.
They only have a last-ditch fight.
The decisive battle will take place after the new year.
But no matter how you think about it, you know that it is absolutely impossible for the demon clan to win.
In order to ensure the victory of the war, Zhao Yuan issued an order to save food and clothing throughout the country and give priority to the army.
As long as this battle can be won and we slowly engage in internal affairs and development, it will not be too late.
Chapter completed!
