In the early morning, before daybreak, Li Wenhao hurriedly got up, ordered the troops to assemble, and led his soldiers out of the city, heading straight towards the Mo River and Tianfeng Pass.
He was not in a hurry to wait for the other party to send someone over, so it would be safer to pick him up in person.
"Boom, boom, boom," the army left the city, flags fluttering, attracting countless passers-by to watch.
At the front is a 20,000 cavalry vanguard composed of 2,000 wind wolf cavalry, 4,000 earth dragon beast cavalry, 4,000 scaled horse heavy armor cavalry, and 10,000 light cavalry.
The central army consisted of 20,000 fire spirits and 5,000 gold-armored warriors, and at the back were 50,000 elite battle infantry.
The total strength is close to 100,000 people. This is Li Wenhao's newly organized military battalion. It is also the strongest battalion of the Langya Army, or the strongest battalion in the entire Seventh Continent!
"What a majestic team. Look at these monster cavalry. Each one is six or seven meters long. I have lived for more than a hundred years and I have never seen such a powerful army!"
"Isn't that right? I used to think that the Yulin Army was the most powerful, but I didn't expect that compared to the Langya Army, they are just scum!"
"What a bullshit Royal Forest Army. They bully the people so much that they are so frightened when they see the Turks that they dare not leave the city. I think the great spirit of Dayou has been exhausted. From now on, King Langya will return to the Central Plains!"
"Long live King Langya, long live Langya!"
Amid the cheers of the onlookers, the army left the city, but Li Wenhao sat on the back of the fire scorpion, unable to smile bitterly.
Different from the past, those who mixed in the crowd and shouted long live and set the rhythm were obviously people arranged by wealthy nobles.
Most people are actually not that excited.
Zhu Yingjun's policy of killing wealthy families and regulating officials in the Qing Dynasty has spread throughout the Central Plains. As the Great You Dynasty that has ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years, it actually has a very deep foundation among the people.
In the past, there were excessive taxes and excessive corruption, so the people's morale was unstable.
Now that there have been good changes, it is still easy to regain the support of the people. At least it is much stronger than Langya who just emerged less than a year ago!
"I almost made a bad move. I must not give Zhu Yingjun time to stabilize the Central Plains!"
After leaving the city, Li Wenhao's eyes became more solemn.
Without the people arranged by the wealthy nobles to set the pace, no one on the roadside cheered or shouted long live. When they saw the royal flag, only a few wealthy people saluted.
Most of the poor people looked on expressionlessly, neither happy nor sad.
This is still good, what's more, there is anger in his eyes, a look of hatred.
This kind of look was very familiar to Li Wenhao. It was the look that poor people got when they saw aristocratic families.
He used to represent the interests of the poor people, but it is different now. At least in Xiaojingchuan, in the eyes of the people of Xiaojingchuan, he is in the same group as the nobles and wealthy families!
It was Li Wenhao's Langya Kingdom who protected these wealthy nobles who should have had their families confiscated and exterminated.
"Report, our army has won a great victory. From yesterday to early this morning, I sent out troops and captured the four cities of Cangyou, Gushan, Qinghe, Donglin and Donglin."
The army marched for more than twenty miles when a wolf-riding sentry with four flags on his back came flying to report.
"Very good!" Li Wenhao withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Send me the king's order to ask all the ministries to speed up. We must capture the entire Xiaojingchuan within three days!"
He was very happy now. Fortunately, the other party did not send back Concubine Xi, Anping mother and son yesterday.
Otherwise, he might really be thinking about the invasion of the four ethnic coalition forces and hastily withdraw his troops and rush to the desert.
In this way, Dayouchao was given a midwinter season, more than four months.
When he sends troops to the Central Plains again, it is very likely that what he will encounter is no longer the army of the Great You Dynasty, but tens of millions of Central Plains people.
Li Wenhao can really attack the people for his own selfish interests?
"Your Highness, there are a total of fourteen cities in Xiaojingchuan. Our army captured four cities in less than a day. It shows that the people's support is what they want. We, Langya, are very happy!" Military Advisor Fu Baichuan smiled and held his hands in the side, very happy.
.
Since following Li Wenhao, in just over a month, he has fought in the north and south and won a series of victories. It feels more exciting than following the Marquis of Huaibei for more than ten years, and he has become a little younger.
"Baichuan Military Advisor!" Li Wenhao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What do the people want? Look at the people in the fields, how many of them have smiles on their faces?
If they don’t scold me in their hearts, I will be very satisfied!”
"Your Highness!" Fu Baichuan said seriously: "The people are stupid, and what Zhu Yingjun and the Xuantian Sect disciples did was definitely not for the poor people.
They massacred wealthy nobles in order to quickly collect money and expand their armaments.
Leasing land to the people at a low price is just to win people's hearts, recruit soldiers, and deceive the people into working for them.
In the end, these people will become new wealthy families and new nobles, and continue to oppress the people!
But your Majesty is different. Your Majesty restricts land sales and encourages industry and commerce. This is how you really think about the people of the world!"
"The military advisor is right, the king is really good for the people!"
"Those people of the Xuantian Sect are just new nobles killing old nobles. They want to turn the Central Plains into the first continent and become the pasture of the Xuantian Sect!"
"Yes, you are absolutely right. In the eyes of those large sects, the common people are just cattle and sheep they graze!"
After Fu Baichuan finished speaking, Li Erkui and other generals spoke one after another. Not to mention, Li Wenhao's mood improved greatly when he heard the shouts of the generals.
This is right, you are really doing good for the people, and those people in the Xuantian Sect are all fake, so you should just treat them as your own people!
"The whole army is marching quickly. Those people from Xuantian Sect are just sending them back obediently. If they are not honest, they will defeat Tianfeng Pass!" Li Wenhao had a clear mind and roared, and the whole army speeded up.
In this case, why not do it one at a time and win the Tianfeng Pass?
It happened that he only brought 100,000 troops, and the enemy would not think that he would attack the city. After all, the Tianfeng defenders had more than 300,000 troops.
But what the enemy doesn't know is that his 100,000-strong military camp is not an ordinary 100,000 people!
One hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand is not impossible!
"All the troops, speed up!" General Zhebie and other generals raised their arms and shouted as if they had been beaten to death.
They naturally understood what Li Wenhao was thinking. By conquering Tianfeng Pass, most of the rich Central Plains would be in their hands, and the Great You Dynasty would be over.
Tianfeng Pass!
Guard Zhang Qiang received the news from his third junior brother Liu Mang overnight and did not dare to be careless. At dawn, he personally led one hundred thousand imperial guardsmen out of the city to escort Concubine Xi, Princess Anping and their entourage.
He had no choice. He sent fewer people, and he was worried that he would be kidnapped by the Langya army on the way, and Li Wenhao would not admit it.
After sending more troops, and worrying about Li Wenhao's misunderstanding, we decided not to have more than 100,000 troops. Anyway, the combat power of 100,000 imperial guardsmen was stronger than that of 200,000 defenders.
The army marched forward for more than a hundred miles, but unexpectedly the sentry came to report. In front, Prince Langya commanded an army of 100,000 people to greet him. The distance was only a dozen miles away.
"Quick, the entire army stops advancing and forms an array on the spot!"
Zhang Qiang was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the opponent only came with 100,000 people. If there were 200,000 people, he would have immediately retreated and returned to the city.
