Liu Ling summoned the three generals of the camp, Mao Yuan, Chen Yuanshan, and Luo Xu, and explained his arrangements. The three generals were even more opposed, but they could not undo what Liu Ling had determined. Even Luo Xu was not convinced.
He strongly opposed Liu Ling's return south incognito. He really couldn't understand why Liu Ling would do such a risky thing given his current status.
How could he know that Liu Ling's plan to return south was actually somewhat related to him. Over the past few days, Liu Ling had seen that Luo Xu had plans to leave, so Liu Ling took the first step and left the Dongmen Camp to
Luo Xu, after the army returns south, Luo Xu will still guard the north with Maoyuan. Liu Ling runs away irresponsibly. How can Luo Xu say his resignation?
Moreover, Liu Ling specifically told Luo Xu that after this battle with the Khitans, Yelu Xiongji's proud personality would definitely take revenge. No one among the generals of the Han army was more familiar with the north than Luo Xu. In terms of martial arts and military tactics, no one in the Han army could match him.
There are only a few people who can be compared to each other. The heavy responsibility of guarding the northern gate of the Central Plains is placed on Luo Xu's shoulders, and the loyalty of Luo Xu and Dazhou is invisibly transformed into the responsibility of guarding the Han people. In this way, Luo Xu gradually adapts to
took on his new identity.
And Liu Ling never said anything to Luo Xu to recruit him, nor did he promise him a high official position, but he handed over an army of more than 100,000 people into his hands. Such trust, even if it were just a stone, Luo Xu should have it.
It is clear that Liu Ling does not recruit or allow officials or titles because Liu Ling knows that these things have no allure for Luo Xu. Luo Xu is the second-grade Grand Protector of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the top among military generals. In terms of title, Luo Xu is the champion.
.Except for trust, Liu Ling actually had little more to offer him than Chai Rong.
With Luo Xu's ability, the more ways he can lead troops, the better.
But why did Chai Rong strictly decree that no more than 10,000 cavalry be allowed? Why, as a dignified second-grade governor, could he only command a cavalry force of 10,000 people?
Because Chai Rong actually doesn't trust anyone. If Luo Xu's military power is too great, Chai Rong is afraid that no one in the entire Zhou Dynasty can suppress him. The combat power of the Tiger and Ben Jingqi is too strong, and it is close to the capital. With ten thousand people, it is already
The limit that Chai Rong could accept. This was also one of Chai Rong's most serious mistakes. When Pei Zhan led the Ding'an army north to attack Kaifeng, how could Luo Xu be defeated if he had troops in hand?
Liu Ling had no promise from Luo Xu, but only placed a heavy burden on Luo Xu's shoulders.
A gentleman bullies others, so Liu Ling's actions actually brought a little bit of disgrace.
It doesn't hurt to be able to keep a tiger general like Luo Xu, even if it's not honorable. Liu Ling doesn't think it's shameful for him to do so. Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage have become an eternal legend. Who knows that after Liu Bei failed to succeed the first two times, he met Liu Bei for the third time.
After arriving at Mr. Kong Ming's, did he whisper in Kong Ming's ear: "If you don't help me, I will kill your whole family!" Even if Liu Bei said this, Kong Ming would not publicize it.
If you want to keep Luo Xu, you have to put a burden on his shoulders.
To put it this way, Luo Xu is a gentleman, but Liu Ling is a bit of a villain.
Liu Ling is not afraid of being a villain. Who has not been a villain among those who have achieved great things? Compared with traitors like Liu Bang and Cao Cao, Liu Ling is already very bright.
Three days later, Liu Ling changed into a long gown and brought with him Minhui, Zhao Da, Dongfang Buchaan, Chen Xiaoshu, who had returned from a long journey, and six silver-clad guards from around the Supervisory Council. A group of eleven people left the Han army camp.
A carriage and eight or nine horses headed south. This is only the number of people seen on the surface. In the dark, there are more than a hundred secret guards of the Overwatch Council closely protecting the safety of the horse team. The steeds of the Overwatch Council
Some of them were led by Hua Ling to the north, and some stayed behind at the headquarters of the Jinzhou Supervisory Office. The remaining ones, less than 500 cavalry, were walking side by side with Liu Ling and his party two miles away. If there was any danger,
Tiqi will arrive in a moment.
Such a configuration is already terrifying.
Two gold-clad, six silver-clad, more than a hundred assassins guarding the Sixth Branch of the Overwatch Council, and nearly 500 Tiqi whose combat power is not much different from Shura Heavy Armor. Even if someone can mobilize
If tens of thousands of troops came to surround this team, it would be difficult to trap them. What's more, Liu Ling himself is a master whose strength is unmatched by any other gold-clad master!
The carriage belongs to Minhui, and Minhui belongs to him alone.
Of course, this was only the treatment Minhui received during the day. At night, Mouling would still get into the carriage and do some pleasant but shameful things.
There were not many people in the cavalry, and it looked like people from a wealthy family were traveling. However, if you have a discerning eye, you only need to look at the horses on which the ten riders sit, and you will understand that this group of people is definitely not easy to mess with. Ten horses
The tall and majestic horse is extraordinary, and the knights on the horse are all powerful and vigorous men. If it weren't for the amazing background, how could we see the BMW-like Teller in the team, and see so many Western varieties?
The team was not moving very fast. Liu Ling originally wanted to relax after the battle. Although it was thousands of miles away from Shuzhou, it would take at least half a month and half for Yelu Xiongji's army to reach Youzhou.
It will be a month later that the Han army from the Youzhou camp will set off to return south. No matter how slow Liu Ling and his companions move with their light chariots, they will still be faster than the large army returning south.
After leaving Youzhou, the team's goal was to first go to Jizhou to replenish supplies, and then go south along the official road. After arriving in Bozhou, they would then take the waterway.
More than a dozen states in Kaifeng and Zhengzhou are still occupied by Zhou Jun. Liu Ling's initial planned route is to go to Bozhou and take the waterway to Huazhou to see how the shipyard is progressing now. Then he will cross between Kaifeng and Zhengzhou
, all the way south. Further south, Ruzhou, Shenzhou, Xuzhou, and Chenzhou are now areas controlled by the Han army. Further south, after passing Guangzhou, there are no big cities for more than a thousand miles. All the way over the mountains and ridges to
Shuzhou.
Liu Ling needs to walk this way for at least two months.
The shipyard in Huazhou is a must-visit place on this trip. The reason why Huazhou is heavily stationed is to protect the shipyard. Liu Ling will definitely go to sea in the future. He has harassed and bullied the Chinese people for thousands of years, and in addition to the Han Chinese
Liu Ling will pay back the shame a hundred times a thousand times.
But think about it, Liu Ling was just taking revenge on the Japanese for something that hadn't happened yet. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, ever since the Japanese army was defeated by the Tang army in Goguryeo, the Japanese were like a man who had been raped but still
Like a pervert who had developed pleasure, he developed a strong admiration for the Tang Dynasty. He constantly sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn everything they could, and even imitated his walking and eating posture, hairstyle, and clothing.
From this we can see that at the Goguryeo station, the Japanese were brought to a climax.
However, that battle did let the Japanese see the power of the Tang army. The Japanese army and warships were several times larger than the Tang army, but they were killed by the Tang army and completely annihilated.
Since then, the Japanese have been honest for many years.
Liu Ling built the shipyard in Huazhou in order to build a powerful navy that could support the voyage of a huge army. Liu Ling used powerful force to keep that nation honest forever, instead of being honest for a while and then getting worse.
Come to cause trouble.
He said that he would give Nie She an explanation.
He said that he must give an explanation to the millions of people who were killed over the past hundreds of years.
He said that he had to give himself an explanation.
After the cavalry left the Han army camp in Youzhou, they crossed the Sanggan River in the evening. The Sanggan River is several miles wide and is also known as the Little Yellow River. It is a river that nourishes more than 1,000 miles and 20,000,000 acres of fertile land.
The Mother River is also a violent and murderous river that destroys cities and land every flood season. The Sanggan River was later called the Wuding River, precisely because it was violent and difficult to tame. The Sanggan River changed its course countless times in history.
It caused immeasurable damage to the people on both sides of the strait. It was not until the 37th year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty that the river was renamed Yongding River after a large-scale rectification of the river course.
After crossing the Sanggan River ferry, we entered a small county town called Gu'an. This small county town is quite prosperous because it is close to the ferry. There are about six to seven hundred households, and restaurants and inns are all available. Although the north is constantly fighting, due to the
Gu'an County is only eighty miles away from Youzhou City. If Liu Ling hadn't led his army in the Northern Expedition to besiege Youzhou, the war would not have come here. Moreover, when Liu Ling led his army through here, he restrained the army and did not harm the local area.
The people in the county were well preserved, and the people in Yanzhao in the north were also rough and hospitable, so the population did not decline due to the Youzhou War.
Because Liu Ling and his companions had so many people and horses, a small ferry could not carry so many of them. They waited until the big boat from the south bank returned before crossing the river, so it was already dark when they arrived at Gu'an County. The guards of the Supervisory Yuan had already arrived in advance.
He crossed the river and booked an inn, so he didn't have to worry about accommodation. Some pretentious people in later generations always complained that it was difficult to be a celebrity and tiring to be a great man. In Liu Ling's opinion, it was pure nonsense. If he hadn't been the king of Han, if he had
If you are not the well-deserved overlord of the Central Plains, a simple trip is strictly protected, and meals and accommodations are arranged by the people below. How can ordinary people have such an advantage?
Some people always say that the common people are as good as the common people. It is very difficult for a famous person and a person of status. If you ask him to give up everything and live the life of an ordinary person, see if he is willing.
The inn where Liu Ling and his party stayed had a name that Liu Ling thought he loved.
Yuelai Inn.
In Liu Ling's view, this Yuelai Inn has appeared more than once in countless novels and movies and TV series in later generations. It has been interspersed for thousands of years and has been popular for thousands of years. It is regarded as the first chain of inns in ancient times. Until a certain slapstick movie
After the TV series "Tongfu Inn" became popular, Tongfu Inn gradually developed and seemed to have a tendency to overwhelm Yuelai Inn...
The guard asked the waiter to put the horses and carriage in the backyard, and then the group entered the Yuelai Inn.
"I didn't expect that the weather in the north is bitterly cold, but the water in the Sanggan River must not be frozen, otherwise it would be difficult to cross the river."
Liu Ling was a person who lived nearby in later generations. At that time, this was a small county that had just developed. But it was much larger than it is now, and the high-rise buildings with bright lights were beginning to take shape. This is what Liu Ling did in this era.
Ling set foot on his hometown for the second time. The last time he led his army to cross the river, he passed by in a hurry and did not have time to take a good look at this place. This small county town aroused Liu Ling's longing, and an inexplicable emotion in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It's getting more intense.
Because of Aiwujiwu, looking at the waiter in the shop, he felt a bit playful and cute.
Liu Ling heard Zhao Da praise the Sanggan River and recalled that when he was a child in his previous life, this section of the Sanggan River had dried up. Corn and wheat were planted on the wide river, and some factory buildings were built on the river.
Why is such a wide river dry?
"For our guests, the conditions of the store are the best in the county. The rooms above are clean and warm. I guarantee that our guests will be satisfied."
The waiter diligently helped several people dust themselves off.
"We have already booked a room."
Zhao Da frowned.
The waiter immediately understood that this was the man who had sent people to book all the rooms in one go in the afternoon. But this sullen-faced man didn’t seem to be the owner? Then, the child secretly took a look at the man who was dressed in a suit.
A handsome man in a black gown.
Liu Ling didn't pay attention to the curious eyes of the waiter, and stepped into the store door. Before entering, Liu Ling was suddenly startled.
There is a painting hanging on the wall in the middle of the north side of the lobby of this inn.
