Sima Zhengxin smiled and said: "Since the general who governs the country has said so, it is settled. Liu Ziyu will be named the general who conquers the captives, and he will lead 20,000 royal garrison troops to support the border."
"You can recruit troops, food and supplies along the way, and you have the right to make emergency decisions..."
This time Liu Ziyu's expedition was almost a replica of Lin Yi's expedition to the Selenium and Tongjun Kingdom.
However, in terms of licensing rights, it has been slightly weakened, and there will be a formal supervisory army accompanying the army.
"Your Majesty, I recommend several generals to assist General Liu Ziyu, General Pingbei Wu Yucao, General Fubo Jin Yuanbao, General Zhang Yiming, General Zhaowu, General Zhaowu Li Yingjian, General Sharpshooter Ling Hanxue, and General Minfeng Fei Daqiang!"
"These generals performed very well in the war against the Selenium Copper County. They will definitely perform well this time with General Liu Ziyu."
Lin Yi gave his entire team to Liu Ziyu, except Song Shaopeng's personal guard camp.
Nowadays, the Guard Battalion is regarded as Lin Yi's personal army. They cannot leave their side easily. Unless there are special circumstances, they basically only listen to Lin Yi's orders.
"That's right!"
Sima Zhengxin nodded readily, this is a good thing and there is no reason to object.
He also knew that these people recommended by Lin Yi were all his close associates, Wang Sun.
If we can take this opportunity to continue to expand our influence, it will only bring benefits and no harm to the future.
As for Wu Yucao's military position as General Pingbei being one level higher than Liu Ziyu's General Zhenglu, it is not a big problem.
After all, Wu Yucao was just a commoner, while Liu Ziyu was a relative of the royal family and had a viscount title.
Of course, Liu Ziyu's viscount title has no fiefdom or fiefdom. It is completely a false title and represents the status of a noble.
But this noble status allows him to easily take command of Wu Yucao, who has a higher military rank than him.
Sima Yunfei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Yi, but did not express any objection.
As long as Lin Yi doesn't lead the troops, everything else doesn't matter.
Liu Ziyu led 20,000 Wangdu garrison troops to the expedition, and it was possible to transfer the left and right camps where these people were located, so in Sima Yunfei's view, Lin Yi's recommendation was a bit unnecessary.
Lin Yi showed a smile. This result is not bad. With Wu Yucao and Fei Daqiang following them, at least Liu Ziyu's life safety does not need to worry.
As long as Liu Ziyu doesn't act arbitrarily and acts blindly, but listens to information and consults on everything, losing this battle won't be that easy.
The main reason why Lin Yi agreed to let Liu Ziyu take command was that he wanted to train him to become a unique general.
Among the entire third generation of the Sima family, excluding the impostor Lin Yi, there really aren't many other talented people.
At least in Lin Yi's eyes, Sima Zhengxin's three generations of descendants are basically trash.
To put it bluntly, mud cannot hold up a wall!
On the contrary, Liu Ziyu was okay. Lin Yi took precautions and felt that it was worth supporting Liu Ziyu. This led to the situation just now!
"Send the order, and the army will set off immediately, rushing to the front line at full speed to fight against the Heimei County national army!"
Sima Zhengxin was also straightforward. After making a decision, he immediately implemented it vigorously and resolutely.
Although there was no final decision last night, preparations for the expedition were already being made.
Now give the order, and the 20,000 King's City garrison will be ready to go.
In fact, most of the 20,000 people are those who have just returned from a trip to the northern Xinjiang battlefield to make soy sauce. Only a small part came in to fill the vacancies...
In terms of combat experience, these two groups of people are actually pretty much the same.
I had just come back, so I basically didn’t need to make too many preparations before heading out.
The morale of these 20,000 people was quite high. They had won a great victory in Northern Xinjiang, but they did not gain anything from the battle, and their achievements were pitiful.
Seeing Lin Yi's personal guard battalion soaring into the sky, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious. Suddenly, there was another opportunity to go to war, and they were all screaming to go into battle to kill the enemy.
The order was quickly executed. This time, Sima Zhengxin didn't even plan to hold any ceremony and sent Liu Ziyu and the others away directly.
If you want a ceremony, come back in triumph!
Liu Ziyu didn't care either. After all, one day her dream came true. Who had time to care about it?
Lin Yi only had time to send it off, and gave Wu Yucao and others a few words of advice, asking them to assist Liu Ziyu with all their heart and protect his safety.
Wu Yucao and others are still in their previous positions, each responsible for the same task and working together in a tacit understanding.
Except for the change of coach, the entire army has basically remained unchanged.
Even the marching tactics copied Lin Yi's original pattern. The capital's garrison rushed forward at full speed, and Fei Daqiang led the rear army to recruit soldiers and grain and grass supplies.
The only difference is that without Lin Yi this time, there will naturally be no invincible guard camp.
Liu Ziyu stayed in the center of the army and went on the road with the main force, but he did not dare to take 800 people to fight with the main force of Heimei Commandery.
When it comes to one against a hundred, just listen to it, you don't need to try it yourself.
Liu Ziyu had a clear understanding of his abilities and knew that he was not a strong general like Lin Yi who could surprise the enemy with surprise attacks, so he commanded the army to move forward in a well-behaved manner.
Before arriving at the battlefield, orders were given to repair and restore physical strength in order to prepare for battle.
"Commander! Heimei Commandery has a partial division stationed thirty miles away, with about 10,000 people. It should be the troops responsible for guarding and intercepting our reinforcements from Hongshang Commandery."
Ling Hanxue came back in person to report that the distance of thirty miles was not too far, and it was already within the range of possible fighting at any time.
"Commander Xin Ling! The scout battalion continues to investigate to see if there are any other troops from the Black Charm County ambushing around this army."
Liu Ziyu smiled and nodded politely to Ling Hanxue, and then solemnly ordered: "In addition, the scout battalion will increase its efforts to shield the battlefield so that the scouts from Heimei County cannot discover the whereabouts of our army!"
"As you command!"
Ling Hanxue clasped her fists and bowed, quickly exiting the Chinese military tent.
Because they are Lin Yi's confidants, Liu Ziyu's usual attitude is very gentle and polite.
But neither Wu Yucao nor Ling Hanxue will be arrogant and domineering because of their relationship with Lin Yi. They will do whatever they want in official business, and they will not discount Liu Ziyu's orders in the slightest.
"Deputy Commander Wu, give the order for the army to move out and form a formation fifteen miles back. Commander Li will lead the cavalry to flank the rear!"
After Ling Hanxue left, Liu Ziyu began to issue orders in an orderly manner.
This time, the 20,000 King's City garrison consisted of a total of 4,000 Black Ling Khan horse cavalry. As the commander of the forward battalion, Li Yingjian was directly appointed by Liu Ziyu as the commander of this cavalry unit.
Wu Yucao and Li Yingjian both accepted the order, twenty thousand versus ten thousand, and no one thought they would fail.
