Yang Qian patted Lai Zheng's shoulder and spoke seriously.
"Brother, even if we are far away in Cochin, we should make a noise and march in the moment we receive His Majesty's order."
Out of his love and recognition for this young general whose military talents were inherited from his father, Yang Qian felt that he should help this guy.
Laizheng looked at Yang Qian, who had a very serious expression in front of him. He came in noisily? No matter how he heard these four words, he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't understand? Let me tell you, brother, there are only two of you and me here. If you have something to say, I will say it directly. Our Majesty values appearance more than inner nature."
"What's more, now, hasn't Brother Lai always hoped that father and son could join forces to bring peace to the court?"
"If Your Majesty could know Brother Lai's loyalty and courage, he would naturally feel at ease with you and your son."
It was only then that Lai Zheng suddenly understood, and he saluted Yang Qian with a grateful expression.
"Thank you Zijing. If Zijing hadn't reminded me, Lai would have missed such an opportunity to express loyalty to His Majesty."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Laizheng said goodbye immediately and left. He wanted to rush back to the army to reorganize his troops, and then he would meet up with Yang Qian and rush to Yanmen together.
Soon, Yang Qian summoned a group of Jiangdu Army generals, reported to the public the 800-mile urgent army, and announced that the entire army would begin preparations and set off immediately after noon.
As for the camp, there is no need to clean it up anymore. This is to rush to express one's loyalty to Yang Guang, not a normal military training march.
At noon, Lai Zheng led 10,000 elite troops to join Yang Qian. Then he carried rations on his back and set off under the banner of King Qin.
Enter Lu County from Teng County in the north of Pengcheng County, then pass through Dongping County and Dong County all the way east.
After crossing the Yellow River in Dongjun, Baima passed through Jijun and went straight to Shangdangjun. They traveled quickly all the way.
Yang Qian's Jiangdu Army was not doing well, but the 10,000 elite soldiers who came to reorganize their command were already complaining endlessly.
After running for more than 1,200 miles and almost 15 days, the 10,000 elite soldiers under his command unexpectedly left the army in the hundreds.
The remaining ones were also full of complaints. Fortunately, Lai Zheng had always been strict in running the army, and he was deeply trusted by the soldiers. In addition, he received generous rewards from His Majesty's decrees, so military discipline was maintained.
On the other hand, Yang Qian's 20,000 soldiers and horses were in a very embarrassed state, but their military discipline was still strict, which made Lai Zheng envious.
#####
After Shangdang rested for a day, Yang Qian came to discuss things. We can't continue to be so slow.
After all, half a month has passed, so we might as well lead the cavalry first and let the infantry come from behind.
If we continue to ride together like this, I'm afraid it will take almost half a month to be able to do it.
If it is just a cavalry movement, two hundred miles a day is not a problem, so it will take at most five days to get from Shangdang to Loufan County, which borders Yanmen County.
Lai Zheng was also a decisive person and felt that rather than letting the infantry go with them who were complaining and complaining, it would be better to let the cavalry go ahead.
Lai Zheng ordered his deputy general to come down and command the infantry, and he continued to rest in Shangdang County for three more days, while he led two thousand cavalry.
They met up with the five thousand cavalry under Yang Qian's command and sped towards Yanmen County.
Along the way, we actually saw a lot of troops heading towards Yanmen County from nearby counties.
Almost everyone was stunned, looking at the army with the banners of "Twelve Counties of Jiangnan Province Depose Ambassador Yang" and "Jiangdu Prefect Yang".
There is also the army under the banner of "Pengcheng County deposes the ambassador to arrest the ambassador".
I was almost blinded. You must know that the distance from Jiangnan to here is more than two thousand miles.
The reinforcements from Shangdang, Dongdu, or Guanzhong have just arrived nearby.
The reinforcements from Jiangnan were much farther away than them, and they actually arrived...
However, the reinforcements from Jiangnan and Huaibei looked a bit miserable, with not a single infantryman.
I heard that the infantry could no longer run at all, and they all rested in Shangdang County. Only the seven thousand cavalry were left and were still heading north.
Regarding this rescue army that came from afar, the soldiers and horses from all the counties looked at this reinforcement with messy armor and obvious weather-beaten eyes.
However, it was not impossible that no one could see through the thoughts of Yang Qian, the governor of Jiangdu. It was clear that he immediately rushed towards Yanmen, especially to express his loyalty to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
However, seeing through it, they could only secretly despise what the other party did, but they dared not say it out loud.
Moreover, they were helpless. In fact, the counties closer to Yanmen were more hesitant to send troops.
There is no way, who allowed the Turks to come with an army of 300,000 at once, and the counties can now mobilize as many as nearly 10,000, and as few as two or three thousand soldiers.
If you really want to rush to Yanmen as soon as possible, then you really have to go into the hut with a lantern and look for shit.
Therefore, the counties close to Yanmen tried their best to delay the dispatch of troops, and then raised the flag and approached Yanmen County as cautiously as if they were sneaking.
Although Yang Qian is considered a newcomer in the officialdom, his reputation is too great, and his performance in the literary event in Qinghe County is beyond words.
It is still circulated among countless poets and poets, and has been sung by countless Goulan Pavilions in the world.
His military accomplishments impressed many lieutenant generals, and he went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo alone.
Lai Huer fell into a trap, but fortunately Yang Qian was a clever little guy. Although he suffered a heavy setback, he retained his strength.
In the end, the millions of troops from the north did not even capture Liaodong City. Here, they had already captured Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
Yang Qian even became a great hero in capturing Gao Yuan, the leader of Goguryeo, so that millions of tigers in the Sui Dynasty would not continue to squat in the bitter cold land of Liaodong and freeze into popsicles.
In addition, his father Yang Ning was gentle and knowledgeable. He developed countless good farming tools for the people of the Sui Dynasty.
He also developed the woodblock printing technology for scholars all over the world, benefiting countless poor scholars.
They also developed the Ten Thousand Jun Thunderbolt Chariot, which enabled the Sui Dynasty military to no longer have to sacrifice countless lives when conquering the fortified city of Goguryeo.
Therefore, many classes in the Sui Dynasty had a good impression of Zheng Guogong and his son.
Therefore, when Yang Qian led his army, not only did he not suffer any difficulties from the leading generals of other counties, but many of them showed their kindness frequently.
After all, Yang Qian's grandfather Han Qinhu was also a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, so it was always possible to have a relationship.
Yang Qian was also a gentle gentleman who was good at dancing and smiled before he said anything. He also hummed and laughed politely with the county guards and generals.
At this moment, Yang Qian had already entered the territory of Taiyuan County. Yang Qian sent someone to inquire, and then he learned that his own father had led three thousand county soldiers and two thousand young men to Xinkou Pass for reinforcements.
