The four hundred and eleventh chapter is in Cangzhou
When the big ship passed Bozhou, it didn't stop, didn't slow down, and didn't deliberately make any defensive gestures. It just sailed past in a grand and indifferent manner. As Liu Ling expected, the Bozhou army did not stop it. It was peaceful along the way.
Not even a soldier was seen.
Zhao Da has always stood behind Liu Ling. Although he rarely fights in battle after being promoted to the Commander of the Supervisory Yuan, his skills are still there. Otherwise, when he was in Yongzhou, Xie Jun's sword might have killed him directly.
It’s two halves. Zhao Da’s favorite and most believed sentence was said by Liu Ling.
If you don't want to die, the first thing to do is to make yourself less easily killed.
Therefore, even though he is the commander of the Overwatch Council, this big man is the only high-ranking official with a second-grade military rank so far. But Zhao Da has never stopped practicing except when he was seriously injured. One thing is certain, these generals under Liu Ling's command
They were all more or less influenced by him. Take getting up early for exercise, for example. Many generals, including Hua Ling, Zhao Er, and Yang Ye, were insisting on it. Moreover, they were very familiar with Liu Ling's "original" exercises.
I like exercise exercises very much, such as push-ups and pull-ups.
Naturally, Liu Ling would not explain that these things were not his original work. Firstly, it would be very troublesome to explain. Secondly, even if he explained it, they probably would not believe it. In their eyes, Liu Ling was not only unable to have children.
A nearly almighty perfect man. A large part of the reason why the Han army was so united was because of the personality worship of Liu Ling. In certain periods, personality worship is allowed.
Although it seemed calm when passing through Bozhou, Zhao Da always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at the fleet. Those eyes were cold and sharp.
Since becoming the commander of the Overwatch Council, Zhao Da, who was already gentle, has become even darker. He is familiar with darkness and likes darkness, so he is particularly sensitive to things in the darkness. He knows that somewhere in a hidden place, there must be someone watching.
The fleet of ships passed by. It felt very bad, as if I was taking a shower with several men standing next to me and watching.
He shook his head depressedly and simply stopped looking at the shore.
"Your Majesty, according to the accurate information obtained in the courtyard, there are only less than four thousand county soldiers in Cangzhou, and their equipment is not as good as that of Zhou's regular soldiers. In terms of combat effectiveness, although Cangzhou's county soldiers have won several battles, but in the battle
They are all grass bandits, and their true strength is still open to question. General Yang Ye’s men and horses will have to arrive in Cangzhou three days slower than the fleet at the fastest. In these three days..."
Liu Ling looked at the river water broken by the big boat and seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing Zhao Da speak, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Da, walked slowly back to the chair and sat down, stroking the black panther breaking the enemy black and bright black
Liang Mao said: "It is true that there are only four thousand poorly equipped county soldiers in Cangzhou, but there are Zhuo Qingzhan in Cangzhou."
Zhao Da was silent, he knew what the prince said was true.
Cangzhou County Governor Zhuo Qingzhan, in terms of rank, is just a fifth-level military officer who is not on the stage. But his ability can be said to be comparable to that of a famous general. In terms of defending the city, Liu Mao is far behind him!
The reason why Zhuo Qingzhan was given such a high rating was because it had been five days since he had traveled north from Weizhou. The situation in the north was that spies from the Supervisory Council were sent to the ship every day. For five days, he was facing a menacing attack of 300,000 people.
The Khitan Wolf Cavalry had only 4,000 weak county soldiers defending the city, but Cangzhou still held on strong. The person who created this miracle was the fifth-rank official from the Great Zhou Dynasty named Zhuo Qingzhan.
However, if Cangzhou City was saved in the first five days by Zhuo Qingzhan's impressive commanding ability and charisma, then in the next few days, it was another person who ensured that Cangzhou was unbreakable.
Of course, Zhuo Qingzhan has created a miracle, but in the next few days, there is another person who gave Zhuo Qingzhan huge help. It is because of his existence that Cangzhou City Defense became stronger. This person is called Liu Feijing
, is the stall of the Fifth Division of the Oversight Yuan.
Liu Feijing was in Jizhou when the Khitan cavalry went south. He took the weapons carefully crafted by the five departments of the Supervisory Council and followed Wang Banjin's army northward. In one fell swoop, he killed the 200,000 troops of the Jizhou camp of the Ding'an Army. Supervision
The Fifth Division is responsible for the equipment supply and weapon research and development of the entire courtyard. For example, the range of Shenji Battalion's thunderbolts has been doubled, almost reaching the range of a bow and arrow. This is the contribution of the Fifth Division.
Wang Banjin led the army to Lanzhou. Liu Mao had to fight against Liyao Nayan's 100,000 wolf riders. Cangzhou couldn't take care of it at all. Therefore, Liu Feijing, who brought more than a hundred supervisory guards from the five divisions of the Supervisory Yuan,
, borrowed 500 soldiers from Liu Mao, and rushed to Cangzhou with a large number of weapons developed by the fifth branch of the Supervisory Council. This was not an order from the courtyard, nor an order from Liu Ling, but a decision he made himself.
Liu Feijing also took a person to Cangzhou. This person was a death row prisoner and the largest prisoner of war captured after the Han army defeated the Ding'an Army. This person had a pivotal position in the Ding'an Army. This person was Pang Zhun.
Liu Feijing borrowed five hundred soldiers from Liu Mao, and Pang Zhun was coming. Liu Feijing had the guts to ask someone to go to Cangzhou to die, and Liu Mao had the guts to give the man to him. In extraordinary times, you can't be rigid in your actions.
Section. Both of them knew it was against the rules, but they did it anyway.
When Zhao Da got Liu Feijing to personally take people from the Fifth Division to Cangzhou, Liu Feijing had already arrived in Cangzhou. It was precisely because of his arrival that the soldiers of Cangzhou County, who had been at the end of their rope, could persist for seven or eight years.
Tian. Zhuo Qingzhan, Liu Feijing, and Pang Zhun, these three people who had nothing to do with each other before, gathered together and used their persistence, determination, belief, confidence, and bravery to create
A great miracle.
"We have been walking for seven days since we set off from Weizhou. Didn't it be clearly stated in today's hospital report that Cangzhou has not been lost yet."
There was a strong sense of appreciation in Liu Ling's words: "With four thousand county soldiers, we can resist three hundred thousand Khitan wolf cavalry for five days. This Zhuo Qingzhan is amazing. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it."
I have to be better than him. Liu Feijing has already arrived in Cangzhou. Since he can still enter the city, it means that the Khitan people’s siege of Cangzhou is not very tight. At least, before I arrived in Cangzhou, Cangzhou was still in tatters."
Zhao Da was shocked.
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is...that the Khitans did not attack Cangzhou on purpose?"
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Yeluji is a very ambitious person, and his current status as prince is not guaranteed. The reason why he can lead the troops in the southern expedition this time is entirely because his father Yeluxiongji brought him out to fight with Yelu Deguang. Yelu
Ji Ji should be very aware of his current situation. In addition, this person is already arrogant. In the first battle, he will definitely fight a good fight. In this way, he will get a good impression on Yelu Xiongji.
.Just capturing Cangzhou is really not of much significance to Yeluji who leads an army of 300,000."
"He is waiting for a powerful and status person from the Central Plains to go to Cangzhou, kill this person, and then conquer Cangzhou. This will be a beautiful battle."
Liu Ling asked Zhao Dadao: "Tell me, who is the most famous, powerful, and territorial in the Central Plains today? Who can best satisfy Yeluji's appetite in Cangzhou and make him happiest?"
Zhao Da said seriously: "It's the prince."
Liu Ling smiled and said, "There is no doubt that it's me."
He said: "Yeluji is very lucky, I am here."
Liu Ling casually picked up the newspaper of the Supervisory Yuan, read it and said: "If Yeluji launches a ruthless attack on Cangzhou regardless of the cost, no matter how stunning Zhuo Qingzhan is, no matter how brave and skillful in fighting, Cangzhou City will be afraid
We couldn't hold it for even two days. Of course, this is not to belittle Zhuo Qingzhan's commanding ability. On the contrary, I admire this man very much. Just because he fled without a city and brought four thousand county soldiers with him.
I sincerely admire him for having the courage to stick to Cangzhou."
"A person knows that what he has to do is to die, but he still does it. There are two types of people, one is an idiot, and the other is a hero."
Zhao Da said.
He tilted his head and said helplessly: "Moreover, heroes and idiots are often so entangled that it is difficult to distinguish them."
Liu Ling smiled noncommittally: "What I am going to do now seems to be a very idiotic thing, and it is even more idiotic than Zhuo Qingzhan and Liu Feijing."
Zhao Da then said something very bold, which would definitely surprise others if they heard it.
"The prince is indeed an idiot. An idiot who dares to go to Cangzhou with more than a thousand soldiers to challenge the Khitan's 300,000 wolf cavalry."
He shrugged his shoulders and said sadly: "The most helpless thing is that there are countless idiots, big and small, under the prince's command. They are following the prince, rushing to Cangzhou day and night to die."
Liu Ling did not blame Zhao Da for being rude, but smiled with relief: "People are divided into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. If a big idiot leads countless little idiots to do idiotic things, what will be the outcome?"
He seemed to be telling a tongue twister.
Zhao Da opened his arms and took a deep breath, breathing greedily: "It will be brilliant, the glory of a hero."
"Why did you become a hero again?"
"Didn't my subordinate just say that it's always difficult to distinguish between heroes and idiots?"
Liu Ling pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for Zhao Da to sit down. He found that it was actually a good thing to have someone who was not afraid of him to speak. Zhao Da had such a status, which was deliberately cultivated by Liu Ling. He
He needs a friend, even if he makes this friend by himself. Zhao Da's identity is very special. He considers himself to be Liu Ling's loyal dog, and he also admits that he is the only loyal dog who can talk and laugh calmly in front of the prince.
Ling is in this position, sometimes very lonely.
Zhao Da sat down unceremoniously, looked at Liu Ling and asked: "Your Majesty, if...if we all die in Cangzhou, wouldn't it be a pity? My subordinates thought that they would follow, watch, and witness the Prince's unification of the world. However,
Now it seems that the trip to Cangzhou is a road of death and no life."
Liu Ling nodded: "There is no life for ten deaths."
He smiled and said: "At least, that's what it seems now."
Hearing what the prince said and seeing the faint confident expression on the prince's face again, Zhao Da suddenly understood one thing. Is there something that the prince was not sure about?
Since the prince is determined to go to Cangzhou, is it really as dangerous and hopeless as it seems on the surface? It seems that the prince never does anything that is uncertain, right? He remembered that the prince said that no matter how ambitious or high his ambition is,
, such ambitious goals, before achieving these, the first thing to ensure is that you survive.
It seemed that the prince had seen through his thoughts, and Zhao Da was suddenly startled by his indifferent words.
"Ji Chengyun is not far from Cangzhou, and his vanguard battalion currently has fifteen thousand elite soldiers. Don't worry, I will not enter Cangzhou City, nor will I take you to die."
Hearing the prince tell this secret, the first thing that Zhao Da thought of was, with the current capabilities of the Supervisory Yuan, why didn't it know that Ji Chengyun was in Cangzhou? What was Ji Chengyun doing in Cangzhou? (To be continued)
