"This battle! I, the Tang Dynasty, will be powerful throughout the ages!"
Standing on the highest swearing-in platform, Li Shimin expressed his heroic words to millions of soldiers!
From the time when Yingzheng destroyed the six kingdoms to the end of the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese civilization has a history of more than two thousand years.
For more than two thousand years, countless literati, wise ministers, famous generals, emperors and overlords have all appeared here.
As long as we defeat them, the Tang Dynasty can indeed be said to be powerful throughout the ages!
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Li Shimin's ambition inspired the fighting spirit of millions of soldiers.
The three generals Li Jing, Li Ji, and Xue Rengui lined up in front, with high fighting spirit.
At this moment, their whole bodies exuded a terrifying aura of ghosts and gods.
"Huh~"
Cheng Mu stood beside Li Shimin.
He did not speak, but quietly looked at the surging soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. He could clearly sense that there was an inexplicable power in Li Shimin's words.
Encouraged by Li Shimin's bold words, the soldiers under his command also became slightly stronger.
'Maybe it's the imperial power effect.'
Cheng Mu thought silently.
Imperial power is a very magical thing. The effect of each emperor's imperial power is different.
The most common effect of imperial authority is to increase the emperor's majesty and increase the loyalty of his ministers.
And those who are more advanced, like Li Shimin, can use words to inspire the soldiers' strength.
More advanced? That's probably like Nurhaci. During battle, it directly reduces the enemy's strength by one level.
It's just that who is stronger and who is weaker is Nurhachi's imperial power effect and Li Shimin's imperial power effect? That has to be seen according to the actual situation.
Cheng Mu has imperial power.
But his imperial power is now a bit ordinary.
"Set off!"
Finally, with Li Shimin's order, a steady stream of soldiers began to set off.
In this battle, the Tang Empire's troops were divided into two groups.
Xue Rengui and Li Ji each led large armies and marched north from the Tang Empire to fight against the Song Empire again.
Li Jing's Shenwu Army, together with the millions of Qingzhou troops, will enter the Song Empire from the west of Qingzhou Province in the Apocalypse Empire.
Advance in both directions simultaneously.
This time, Li Shimin is determined to conquer the Song Empire!
The mighty army marched out.
Although the Tang Empire has sixteen armies, only three are currently participating in the war.
It's not that Li Shimin didn't want to send a large army, but the rest of the army also had other tasks.
Guard the border, defend the border, and attack by surprise.
Cheng Yaojin will get stronger when he is old.
He personally asked Li Shimin for a battle, and he wanted to lead a million Jinwu Guards to go and train them. And the target of the training was the Xixia Kingdom.
Yes, Cheng Yaojin wanted to take advantage of Xixia to send troops to aid the Song Empire and destroy the Xixia Kingdom in one fell swoop.
In history, if the generals of the Tang Dynasty had not destroyed a country, they would be embarrassed to be called famous generals.
Although Cheng Yaojin has been protecting Li Shimin's safety as a close attendant, he has ambitions far ahead!
There was another veteran of the Tang Empire who had the same pursuit as Cheng Yaojin.
Yu Chigong.
In terms of bravery, Yu Chigong's strength is still higher than that of Cheng Yaojin.
So his goal this time is the powerful Liao Empire.
After Li Jing and the Qingzhou Army entered the Song Empire, he would follow the same route and go north to attack the Liao Empire.
This time, four fronts were set out.
Although there are risks, it also demonstrates Li Shimin's determination.
He wanted to destroy the Song, Liao and Jin kingdoms with one blow.
Li Shimin agreed.
When Zheng Chengmu was assassinated, he also saw the Jinwu Guard's inability to cope with changes. Over the years, the Jinwu Guard has become a gilded place for relatives of emperors and nobles.
So in order to change this situation, Li Shimin was willing to let them experience it.
Yuchi Gong led the Qianniu Guard.
The Qianniu Guard was originally stationed in Chang'an City. It has not experienced war for many years, and some of it has become decayed.
Naturally, they also need to go out and bleed for some experience.
"You go first! Yu Lin and Modao Army will support you in a month!"
This is Li Shimin's promise.
To destroy the Xixia and Liao empires, a mere million troops would not be enough.
So this time, Li Shimin also dispatched the Yulin Army and the Modao Army as backup for Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
The Yulin Army, the garrison of the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty, is now also the Prince's own army. Naturally, as the Crown Prince, Li Zhi will also step onto the battlefield.
The Mo Dao Army is a terrifying killing army. The Mo Dao Army abandons its own defense and pursues maximum destruction.
Even the cavalry had to retreat in front of them!
And its commander is the famous cold-faced Hanqiang Luo Cheng.
"Xian son-in-law, I've been waiting for a long time."
After all the armies were deployed, Li Shimin had time to continue greeting Cheng Mu.
"Wonderful son-in-law, what do you think of my army?"
At this moment, he couldn't help but show off.
Sixteen armies, sixteen million men, no one is mediocre.
This is the Tang Empire!
Although 10,000 people in the Qingzhou Army under Cheng Mu have been promoted to Overlord. But no one knows who among the other fifteen armies of the Tang Dynasty will be the second one to be promoted to Overlord level?
Among the special arms, the overlord can completely defeat the ace.
But sometimes quantity can make up for the gap in strength.
Three or five trump cards can kill an overlord, and ten trump cards against an overlord will also result in a great victory.
In addition, there are people like Li Jing who have the effect of the God of War and can temporarily increase the strength of soldiers by a level.
So even if Cheng Mu now has millions of overlord-level soldiers under his command, Li Shimin will not panic.
In today's battlefield, three factors are indispensable: the strength of soldiers, the number of soldiers, and the strength of the commander.
If the strength of the soldiers is not enough, they must be gathered in numbers. Once the numbers are gathered, the role of the commander will be revealed.
As for the number of generals, if the Tang Dynasty dares to be ranked second, then no one in this world dares to be ranked first!
In the Apocalypse Empire, Cheng Mu had many virtuous ministers and famous generals.
But compared with Li Shimin, Cheng Mu still needs to work harder!
"Tiger and Wolf Master!"
What else could Cheng Mu say? I’ve already said the compliment!
In terms of numbers, the Tang Dynasty's 16 million troops are indeed surprising.
Several elite legions were also praised by him.
But for the rest, he could only hold back his desire to show off. No matter how incompetent he was, he could not scare Li Shimin now.
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Cheng Mu's praise again, Li Shimin was even happier.
These sixteen armies were his hard work, and hearing their names was enough to make him proud.
For an emperor, he must have full confidence in his country and his soldiers.
Showing his strength repeatedly in front of Cheng Mu actually only increased his own confidence. If the emperor has no information about his country, how can the people of the country have confidence?
"By the way, my dear son-in-law will stay here for a few more days."
The swearing-in meeting has ended, but Li Shimin still doesn't want to let Cheng Mu go: "Now that you are here, my dear son-in-law, you must experience the splendor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Anbei City is too small to show the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, in order to once again demonstrate the power of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also wanted Cheng Mu to visit Chang'an City.
"This time, I may disappoint you, the king."
Cheng Mu refused.
He traveled thousands of miles to get here, and then traveled thousands of kilometers to Chang'an City?
Are you crazy?
It's not that Chang'an is not good, it's just that he really doesn't want to go.
The soldiers under his command were fighting to the death. How could he, the emperor, be enjoying life outside?
After seeing the strength of Datang, he felt confident.
It’s okay not to go to Chang’an City.
"This... virtuous son-in-law, you really don't want to visit Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin felt a little regretful.
As the leader of a country, it was impossible for him to lower his dignity and invite Cheng Mu over and over again.
"Master, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Cheng Mu had already made up his mind.
The incense array fills Chang'an, and the city is filled with golden armor!
What he wants is to march to Chang'an himself in the future!
When he learned that Princess Jinyang was only five years old, he had completely given up the idea of marrying with the Tang Dynasty.
Make yourself wait ten years?
Haha, it is still unknown whether the Tang Dynasty will still exist in ten years!
The soldiers of the Tianlong Army have been promoted to super-god-level arms, which means that the Apocalypse Empire officially has the strength to resist the powerful ones in the Shentai realm.
At this moment, although the Apocalypse Empire still has some obstacles in its external expansion.
But it is more than enough to protect the security of our country!
"Oh well."
Li Shimin felt a little regretful. He wanted to take this opportunity to introduce other princesses to Cheng Mu.
"I don't know, my dear son-in-law, when will you return?"
He was thinking that if he had time, he would let his daughter come to Anbeicheng in person.
Of all his daughters, there must be one who will satisfy Cheng Mu, right?
In the future, when the Tang Dynasty wanted to annex the Apocalypse Empire, it could even win without bloodshed by relying on the marriage relationship.
