"No," Ning Yuan hugged Li Xingchen's waist decisively, "No, I want to go too!"
Li Xingchen shook his head: "No, if you haven't memorized your poems, you can't go out to play. This is the principle."
"Brother-in-law!" Ning Yuan burst into tears.
Li Xingchen was finally defeated by the offensive of tears and nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Xiang, who was next to him, also noticed that something was wrong. He pulled Ning Yuan away and said angrily: "You know how to bully this little girl."
"I didn't, I was wronged." Li Xingchen denied it.
Zhang Lihua, who was standing on one side with her clothes in hand, looked at Li Xingchen and Xiao Xiang who were bickering, and then looked at Ning Yuan, who was in tears and looked like he was going to kill you with his cuteness, feeling a little helpless.
This is perhaps the strangest and most harmonious royal family I have ever seen, right?
Li Xingchen comforted Ning Yuan, who was crying, and seemed to have completely inherited her sister Lechang's expertise. In fact, Lechang had never shed tears in front of Li Xingchen. Just as he was about to turn around, Li Ping strode in: "Your Majesty,
, Northwest Emergency News!”
Li Xingchen frowned, and Xiao Xiang wisely stretched out his hand to pull Ning Yuan aside.
"Meeting an alliance with Yu Yi?" After taking a look at the memorial jointly signed by Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan, Li Xingchen smiled and said, "Thanks to these two boys for being able to think of it."
"Then your Majesty wants to summon you to join the army?"
As a hussar general, Xiao Shilian naturally cannot always follow Li Xingchen. He has already led the army to Xiangyang one step ahead of schedule. He will also become the defender of Xiangyang in the future. Xiao Maha has been attacking Xiangyang for so long without being able to defeat it, but now Xiao Shilian has
He became the guard general of Xiangyang, which seems to be a bit of a trick of fate.
And Yang Su has been by Li Xinchen's side. After all, Li Xinchen still has to discuss many things with him.
"No need," Li Xingchen waved his hand, "Just tell me to join the army."
After a pause, Li Xingchen was already confident: "The chaos in the northwest has already begun."
——————————
Northwest, Lingwu.
This city, which was already in a semi-abandoned state, has completely changed in just a few days. The city, which originally had many gaps and even collapsed, is being repaired, and the huge military camp stretches from the south to the north of the city.
Small workshops for repairing weapons have been set up in the wasteland, and trebuchets, crossbows, etc. are being assembled intensively.
"There are already two to three thousand people from the north, and Hou Mi has done a really good job." Standing on the top of the city of Lingwu County, Cao Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Now Lingwu's troops have gathered to 6,000 people, and there are another 3,000 people on the road, and the number of civilians is more than 10,000. This is already the largest manpower and material resources we can mobilize in the northwest," Xu Deyan seemed to
He was not in a good mood like Cao Zhong, and was not without worries.
Secretary Hou requested to mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses to Lingwu, and Cao Zhong immediately led the army northward in order to block the enemy from the northwest. Lingwu is a very good battlefield. It is like a bottleneck, connecting the northwest and the northwest of the Han Dynasty.
In the northern grasslands, if the Turks want to go south, they must capture this important town adjacent to the river.
In the same way, after passing Lingwu, turn southeast and pass Pinggao County, which is Guanzhong. Therefore, for Yu Yi, Lingwu is also a very suitable place for a decisive battle. Therefore, all Cao Zhong's army went north, and Yu Yi also led his army.
Coming north, but the two sides still kept a little distance, Yu Yi set up camp twenty miles east of Lingwu County.
As for the previously agreed alliance negotiations, it turned out that Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan chose Anding. It was under the absolute control of the Han Dynasty and close to Pinggao County. Naturally, Yu Yi would not have too much fear, but now it is natural.
It was changed and settled directly in Lingwu County.
"What a strong wind in the north," Xu Deyan tugged at his cloak, "Haven't there been any news from Secretary Hou and the others yet?"
"They should still be on the way back. The weather in the north has been bad these two days. It is reasonable to come back a little slower. Moreover, the Turks are biting behind them. If they arrive in a blink of an eye, then the real chaos should be
It's us." Cao Zhong said in a deep voice, "Look at the cavalry over there, it should be Yu Yi coming."
Xu Deyan took a breath and said: "Let's go, this is the real owner of our northwest battle, go and meet for a while."
Yu Yi came very quickly. The old general did not look like he was old at all. He reined in his horse and dismounted in one movement. Xu Deyan and Cao Zhong strode forward to greet him: "Old General Yu!"
"These two must be General Zhengxi and the Governor of Hanzhong. They are young and promising." Yu Yi said with a smile.
Xu Deyan nodded slightly: "Old general, please come and work hard from afar!"
Yu Yi looked Xu Deyan and Cao Zhong up and down, and sighed secretly in his heart. Once upon a time, the inconsistency in generals was the biggest drawback of the Southern Dynasties. The older generation Hou Andu, Huang Fasu and others left one after another, and the young
Except for Xiao Maha, there are almost no experienced leaders in this generation.
But in just a few years, everything has been turned upside down. The rise of the younger generation in the Southern Dynasty made this army look brand new and full of fighting spirit. In contrast, the Northern Dynasty was supported by Yuchi Jiong, Wei Xiaokuan and others.
The loss of veterans and young talents such as Yang Su and others is really serious.
Doesn’t the change in the quality of talents actually represent the waxing and waning of national strength?
The Han Dynasty, a dynasty that started in the south, was able to gather such manpower and material resources in the northwest in such a short period of time, which shows that this dynasty indeed has the confidence to conquer the world and is never afraid of any enemies.
While the armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were still "difficult" to advance towards the almost empty northern region, the Han army had already entered Lingwu and was ready to use Lingwu to withstand the first wave of enemy troops.
Maybe it’s time for Lantian Yu to change direction...
Yu Yi suppressed this thought - at least he couldn't act too hastily now, and said with a smile: "I have brought six thousand soldiers and horses from Pinggao County, and there will be another three to four thousand soldiers and horses to cover the way back.
"
Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan exchanged glances subconsciously.
There are nearly 10,000 people. Yu Yi's sincerity is already obvious. According to Baipao's spying, the garrison of Pinggao County should be about 20,000 people. Yu Yi can be said to have dragged over half of them in one go.
, and his actions were no slower than Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan who had received Li Xingchen's order to "act according to the situation". This shows that Yu Yi most likely did not get Yang Jian's permission at all, and his thoughts are self-evident.
Immediately, the smile on Xu Deyan's face became even brighter: "This is better. Our army is in the north of the city, and your army is in the east of the city. We rely on Lingwu to deal with the Turks and try to stop the Turks here!"
"That's okay, but with our infantry, it's not that easy to stop the Turks' cavalry." Yu Yi said in a deep voice. (To be continued)
