Chapter four hundred and thirty ninth one million troops
In the main hall of the palace.
Yunyang, Nangong Ye, and the generals of Song and Qing Dynasty gathered together again after being separated for more than ten days.
Several leading generals looked at each other suspiciously, wondering why Young Master Liu had disappeared for many days and suddenly summoned them to the palace with such fanfare.
From each other's reactions, it was clear that everyone was confused. No one spoke, and they were looking at the furnishings in the hall while waiting for the arrival of the rightful owner.
While the tea was being served, Liu Mingzhi walked into the main hall wearing a dragon robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and waving a folding fan in his hand.
"It seems that everyone is here, and I am polite."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Mr. Liu who came out of the back hall, and their eyes were stunned. For some reason, a strange thought suddenly appeared in their hearts.
The King of Side by Side seems to have changed.
They couldn't tell what had changed, but they had a strange feeling. The King Bingjian standing in front of them now seemed to be very different from the King Bingjian 20 days ago.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hands, lowered his head and scanned his body. There was nothing wrong.
"What? Is there something strange about this king that makes you all stunned?"
Everyone came to their senses and hurriedly lined up in several rows according to their positions.
"We meet King Side by Side."
"Generals, without courtesy, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi gently shook his folding fan and glanced at the people in the hall with a chuckle.
"I have been unwell these days and have been recuperating physically and mentally in my palace. You have come to see me, but I am unable to meet you due to my own reasons. This has made many generals' hard work in vain. I will go ahead and help you."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Your Majesty is a man of great wealth. Now that the war is over, all the prefectures in Northern Xinjiang are just doing trivial matters. There is no need for Your Majesty to come forward in person."
"Yes, there is now close correspondence between the governors of the various prefectures in Northern Xinjiang, and considerable progress has been made in the autumn harvest. When the general strategy is drawn up, it will only need to be submitted to the prince for approval."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yunyang and Nangong Ye with a smile: "Seniors, please don't compliment me. It's just empty words."
"I have convened all the generals in Northern Xinjiang for a meeting. Naturally, we have important matters to discuss. Since everyone is here, I will no longer be polite. How about you go with me to the martial arts arena?"
"Your Majesty, please!"
"Commander please!"
After a while, the group of people followed Liu Mingzhi and rushed towards the palace martial arts arena.
After arriving at the martial arts arena, a group of generals, big and small, stared blankly at the large and exquisite sand table in front of them, their eyes full of confusion.
The war is over. Why did King Bingjian prepare such a detailed sand table?
On the other hand, Yunyang, Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang, Yun Chong and other veterans stared straight at the flags on the sand table, seeming to understand something.
When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he didn't say anything and stood aside quietly waving his folding fan. He knew that the old commander Yunyang would be able to understand his intentions.
Sure enough, Yun Yang, who was stroking his beard and thinking, paused for a moment, his old eyes flashed, and he looked at Liu Mingzhi, who had a calm expression.
"Your Majesty, is he planning to counterattack Jin and invade the two countries?"
"What, counterattack against Jin and the Turks?"
"It's a good thing. Now that our dragon army is strong and our horses are strong, it's the best opportunity to move north in a big way."
"A few days ago, the general was still thinking about when we could go north to the border and dominate the world. Today, the prince summoned us to counterattack the enemy country. God has blessed me, the dragon!"
After hearing Yunyang's words, the reaction of the generals was almost the same. They were all full of passionate fighting spirit and wanted to lead their troops out of the city immediately and cross Shanhaiguan to fight against the enemy.
Liu Mingzhi closed the folding fan in his hand and punched Yunyang in return.
"As expected, the old commander has a keen eye. This is exactly what I mean by summoning you to your residence today."
"Now our great dragon has gone from being weak to being at its peak. It can be said that our army is strong and our horses are strong, and our momentum is unstoppable."
"Now there are millions of troops gathered in the northern border, and there is sufficient food and grass. If we don't go north to drive out the bandits at this time, let me, the great dragon, rule the world. How long will it take?"
"On the other hand, the two countries Jin and Turks combined their forces to go south. Before our dragon troops and horses arrived, they repeatedly bullied us. Now that our dragon troops and horses have gathered in northern Xinjiang, the enemy saw that our dragon troops were unstoppable and had no choice but to flee.
, a hasty withdrawal of troops."
"The combined forces of the two countries are still unable to stop the might of our million-strong army of the Great Dragon. What's more, now that the troops of the two countries have divided their forces and returned home, they are fighting on their own."
"Such a God-given opportunity, I will regret it if I miss it."
"The opportunity for the great dragon to rule the world is just around the corner. Are you willing to follow my king out of the country, ride horses outside the passes, gallop on the battlefield, and open up my great dragon's eternal inheritance?"
"We will obey the order of King Jingjian and live a thousand years of life!"
"We will obey the order of King Jingjian and live a thousand years of life!"
"We will obey the order of King Jingjian and live a thousand years of life!"
A group of veteran generals in Yunyang glanced at the surrounding generals with slightly frowned brows, their faces hesitant.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and cannot be ignored. May I ask if your Majesty's departure to the north has been reported to the imperial court?"
Nangong Ye nodded in agreement: "Yes, although what the prince just said is true, now that I, Dalong, have raised millions of troops to counterattack Jin, it will be easy to conquer the two countries."
"But maybe we should inform the court about this matter, and we can only send out troops with His Majesty's permission!"
"The enemy troops are marching south to invade the border. As border troops, we have to sacrifice our lives to defend the enemy in order to protect the country and the peace of the people."
"But taking the initiative to go north and out of the customs is no small matter. It affects the whole body. The most important thing is the matter of food and grass."
"Your Majesty has not left the palace these days. I don't know how many troops and horses there are in Northern Xinjiang now."
"I and the old commander have calculated the troops gathered in Northern Xinjiang these days. There are more than 967,000 people!"
"It's not really a million-strong army, but it's no different from a million-strong army."
"The amount of food and grass consumed by a million troops in one day is a Tianmu figure. If the court cannot guarantee the timely supply of food and grass, we will be the ones who are passive after leaving the country."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and looked at the generals around him who also frowned.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since I want to lead my troops to the north to help my dragon unify the world, I have naturally made a comprehensive plan."
"Before you get the letter, I have already sent a letter to the capital, telling your Majesty the whole story of sending the troops, and also listed all the pros and cons and reported it to your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, in line with the last wishes of two generations of late emperors, has ensured peace and harmony for the people, and will definitely support this Northern Expedition with all his strength."
The people in Yunyang looked at Liu Mingzhi's calm and determined expression, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
They knew Liu Mingzhi and knew that he would never joke about such a thing.
"Everyone, I have fully informed you of the purpose of summoning you. In this case, please go back to camp and assemble your troops to prepare for war."
"In three days, we will start the Northern Expedition!"
"In compliance with the king's order, we shall retire."
Three days later.
On the boundless wilderness connecting the west gate of Yingzhou City to Jeju, Liu Mingzhi witnessed the most majestic flag covering the sky.
Millions of troops gathered outside Yingzhou City, waiting for orders.
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the endless millions of troops in front of him, got off his horse, carried his commander's seal, and walked toward the general standing stage.
Yunyang and Nangong Ye sat on either side of Diantai, looking at Mr. Liu who was coming and nodded.
Liu Mingzhi walked quickly to the main seat and sat down. He put the commander's seal aside, took out a volume of documents from his arms and handed it to Du Yu on the side.
"Beat the drums to gather the generals, and call for conquest."
"Got the order!"
Outside Yingzhou City, where flags were whistling, war drums were beating one after another, and the sound soared into the sky.
Du Yu led a hundred strong men on horseback and galloped forward with a campaign of conquest in hand.
"Stand side by side with King Liu Mingzhi, and write to the world, to millions of soldiers, to millions of people!"
"Jin Tu is unruly and has repeatedly raised troops to go south, invading our territory and committing unethical acts. They first killed my soldiers, then plundered my land and disturbed the peace of the people at my border."
"In accordance with the decree of the late emperor, this king guards the twenty-seven mansions in Northern Territory. It is my duty to protect the stability and tranquility of Dalong's Northern Territory."
"Jin, his sudden march southward was fruitless, and he fled in panic during the encirclement and suppression by our army. However, although the soldiers and horses retreated, they will always stay in the northern border."
"I, the king, have learned from this painful experience. Until now, our northern territory will never suffer from war. I am determined to lead a million troops to send out the northern expedition to return my great dragon. Return my great dragon. Return my great dragon and there will never be any disputes in our northern territory!"
"On the eighth day of the eighth month of the first year of the Great Dragon's reign, the heavenly army marched to defeat the bandits and bandits; to rule the world and stabilize the rivers and mountains."
"In exchange for my great dragon, the world will be clear and clear for all eternity, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"
"This message is to appeal to the emperor and the empress, and to comfort the people of Li."
"Side by side with Wang Liu Mingzhi."
"Awesome!"
More than an hour later, the message spread throughout the army.
A million troops outside Yingzhou City brandished their weapons and shouted, "Thousands of years, thousand years, thousand years."
Liu Mingzhi stood up from the commanding platform and looked at the millions of lions in front of him, holding the command flag and waving it gently.
"Beat the drum, take the name, and send orders to the three armies to go out for the Northern Expedition and unify the world."
"Stand side by side, the king has ordered us to go on the Northern Expedition!"
"Stand side by side, the king has ordered us to go on the Northern Expedition!"
"The king has ordered us to go to the Northern Expedition together."
The eighth day of the eighth month of the first year of Dalong Yongping is auspicious and everything is suitable.
The word "dragon" stands side by side with King Liu Mingzhi's message to heaven.
Lead a million-strong army and set off for the Northern Expedition.
