A large army cannot be deployed in a day or two. A standing army like the Ya Bing only takes one day to mobilize. However, there are still 6,000 county soldiers dispatched this time, so it takes three days to mobilize.
Chen Cheng is not worried about the war. Although the Song Jianmin Department has a large number of people, its weapons and armor are not sophisticated enough, its military discipline is not strict, and its military appearance is not in good shape. It is not difficult to defeat it. It is the time of autumn harvest now, and Jiuquan's food supply army can be captured, so there is no need to worry.
The problem of food and grass supply.
In fact, he didn't worry about anything at all. Even if there was any unrest and the factories outside the city were destroyed and the factories outside the city were destroyed, he would have to rebuild them at the worst. He could afford to wait. He told Zhao Yun before that Han Sui destroyed Yinchuan, maybe
There will be changes, but that is only a possibility, and it may not be true.
On the contrary, what he said later was the main reason why he did not want Zhao Yun to go with the army. Marriage is a lifelong event, so why did Song Jian need to use such powerful generals as Zhao Yun?
After he packed up his things in the study, he planned to spend the next two days arranging the construction of the soap factory after the expedition. The production of soap is very simple, just add grease and caustic soda, and it is not difficult to produce. Of course
, due to the limitations of this era, the products produced are definitely not very pure and will contain a lot of impurities.
But the point of view he has always adhered to is that he does not seek the best, just better. As long as it is better than the things he used before, he will not worry about losing sales. In addition to the ordinary ones, you can also add some
Make balms and the like into high-end brands. You can sell them for hundreds or thousands of dollars a piece, but don’t think it’s too expensive. What do you mean by a rich person? Rich people only buy expensive ones, not the right ones!
While he was thinking, there were inaudible footsteps outside the door. The footsteps were very light, and it was obvious that the person outside was not heavy. Chen Cheng put down the charcoal and waited quietly for a while, but the person outside lingered for a long time.
, there has been no next step.
He shook his head, wiped his hands with a towel, then opened the door and walked out.
On the wooden floor under the eaves of the corridor, Liu Qian raised her right hand and wanted to knock on the door, but hesitated. The door was suddenly opened. She was startled and said in a panic: "Master!"
Chen Cheng said: "You have something to do with me?"
"Um...I...that..."
"Come in and talk."
Liu Qian obediently followed Chen Cheng in and sat down opposite Chen Cheng. She wrung her fingers uneasily, as if she was hesitant to speak. Chen Cheng thought for a while and asked: "You come here
Is it because the imperial court canonized me as the shepherd of Liangzhou?"
"Yes, it is."
"Are you worried that I will make peace with He Jin?"
".....kindness."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Do you think there is a possibility of making peace between He Jin and I? Even if we don't deal with him, he won't let us go."
"Everyone in Yacheng said the same thing," Liu Qian put down the stone in her heart and smiled again on her face, but then she wrinkled slightly and asked, "Is He Jin going to die soon?"
"It's hard to say. Theoretically speaking, he is dead. But He Jin still holds the strongest army in the world. If he handles it properly, there is still a chance."
Chen Cheng said: "Are there any questions?"
Liu Qian thought for a while and said: "This time we send troops to attack Song Jian, can you take me with you?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to lead troops to fight!"
"Hey, although you did well in Army Primary School..."
Liu Qian protested: "My grades are not good, but I am number one! Whether it is swordsmanship, riding, archery or arithmetic, I am number one!"
"...Okay, you are number one. But even if you are number one, I won't let you lead troops to fight right now."
"Why?" Liu Qian shouted: "Those classmates want to go out to fight with the master!"
"Because you are too young," Chen Cheng thought of Xia Xi and Zhong Zhen, and couldn't help but feel sad, and his tone became more gentle, "When they finish studying at Army Primary School, they will be asked to intern in the military for one year, and then
Will officially serve."
Liu Qian muttered: "It will take several years..."
Her eyes suddenly lit up again, "Master just mentioned them, but that doesn't include me?"
"As for you," Chen Cheng pondered for a while and said, "If you want to do something, I can arrange for you to go to the province to help with the official documents in the future."
Liu Qian curled her lips and said, "I want to lead troops to fight!"
"Fighting is very hard and dangerous," Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Outsiders think that generals are very majestic, but if you are not careful, they will be defeated and killed. Since you go to school in Yacheng, you should
You know, even with strong troops like the Trapped Camp and the Flying Bear Cavalry, there will still be a lot of casualties."
"Then master, why do you like to fight?"
Chen Cheng laughed dumbly and said: "Why do I like fighting anymore? When has there ever been a time when sending troops was not forced by the situation?"
"But Master obviously seemed very happy. As soon as he heard that he could go to fight, his whole person changed completely!"
"..." Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Nonsense, how can I be happy?"
"It's obviously there!"
"Humph, go back and continue studying. You are already thirteen this year, which is one year younger than Ma Yunlu. You can get married next year. When you finish the Army Primary School, I will choose a husband for you."
Having said this, Chen Cheng thought for a moment. Among the young people in Liangzhou, Yan Xing and Ma Chao are the only two people whose status and abilities are worthy of the Ten Thousand Years Princess. Now Yan Xing is married, and it is said that he is about to become a father.
, then it’s Ma Chao?
Jin Ma Chao is the best choice in terms of martial arts and appearance, and his family background is not satisfactory. Unfortunately, he is strong but unjust. Because of his origin, Ma Chao has a bad temper and his intelligence does not seem to be very high. Such a person
At best, he can be a fierce general who charges into battle, but he is not good at it alone.
Chen Cheng shook his head and mentally shot Ma Chao as well, secretly thinking: "Do we really have to wait until we enter Guanzhong to find a suitable candidate?"
While he was shaking his head, Liu Qian said angrily: "I don't want to get married!"
"Nonsense, how can a girl not get married? I can keep you single until you are twenty years old at most. After that, if you still can't find someone you like, then I will forcibly assign someone to you!"
"Humph," Liu Qian raised her head, revealing her slender white neck, and said proudly: "If you want to marry me, you must be better than me!"
"kindness?"
While Chen Cheng was in a daze, Liu Qian had already stood up and shouted: "Master is a big fool!"
After saying that, she ran out of the room. Chen Cheng was confused. Although he was not too smart, he couldn't be considered a fool, right? He was dazed for a while and decided not to guess what the girl was thinking. He used to
He wasn't good at this, and he couldn't figure it out after guessing. Thinking of this, a melody came into his mind, and he couldn't help but hum it.
In the early morning three days later, six thousand cavalry quickly marched westward along the Yellow River. By the time they reached the vicinity of Suanjuan County, soldiers and horses from various departments had gathered one after another. Ten thousand troops galloped across the land in a mighty manner.
The raised smoke stretched for more than ten miles.
Xiliang is rich in horses, so after Chen Cheng laid off many soldiers and horses, he spent a lot of resources on the remaining army.
Among these ten thousand people, even the infantry are equipped with horses, and the armor rate reaches 100%. Many of them are equipped with newly manufactured steel armor. With a suit of steel armor, it is equivalent to being on the battlefield.
I gained several more lives. With this device, not only the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, but the morale has also been improved a lot. Anyone equipped with such good armor will be full of confidence.
The army moved quickly, traveling hundreds of miles a day, and it only took two days to reach the territory of Wuwei. Then Chen Cheng slowed down the marching speed of the army, from a hundred miles a day to less than thirty miles a day. It was so slow.
After walking for two days, we simply stopped in Quaiyin County.
Wuwei County is Cheng Yi's territory, and he has always been close to Chen Cheng. Ever since Chen Cheng led his troops into the North, he has always shown goodwill, which is completely different from other Xiliang princes. After learning the news about Song Jian's change to the Yuan system, Cheng Yi
You know that the state pastoral office will never sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing.
In the past, when Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others rebelled, they only dared to use the title of "killing the eunuchs". No one ever became king. Song Jian set a bad start for the people of Liangzhou. If they did not conquer it, others would
I am afraid that those princes will follow suit. He has long known the ambitions of Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong, so he has made preparations early in the morning. Five thousand elite cavalry are ready, and they are ready to follow them west to attack Jiuquan County.
.
But Chen Cheng stopped his army in Dunyin County and then stopped moving. Cheng Yi was puzzled by this. It is impossible for Chen Shijun not to know the principle of rapidity in military strength, but what does this kind of operation mean now?
?
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. So he stopped the army in Guzang and rushed to Dunyin with only a thousand cavalry. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.
Cheng Yi is a person who wants to be open-minded. Knowing that he is no match for a combination like Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong, he has long given up on competing with them. He likes wine and beautiful women, so instead of working so hard, he has to risk his life to fight for them.
In the world, it is better to be a county magistrate with peace of mind.
Wouldn't it be nice to drink fine wine and watch beauties every day?
When he arrived at Dunyin with his cavalry, he saw the fiery red war flags of the State Mufu Mansion all over the city wall. Outside Dunyin, there was also a military camp that had begun to take shape. Seeing the arrival of such a cavalry, he left
A ranger stopped them from far away. After asking about the situation, more than a hundred cavalry came forward and brought Cheng Yi's troops into the county town.
Although there are more than 10,000 people stationed here, you can't see any idle soldiers, and you can't hear any chaotic sounds. It's completely different from last year's battle. He was secretly frightened, and his expression became respectful and serious.
Some. If he could joke with Chen Cheng before, but after the battle at Huangbei Mountain, he was much more in awe of Chen Cheng.
But after all, he had developed an unruly character. After being serious for a while, he returned to his old ways after seeing Chen Cheng. He smiled and said: "Why did you stop here? Could it be that you are waiting for God to give Song Jian to you?"
