Chapter 437
The southern Xinjiang army has assembled.
Grain, grass and luggage were continuously transported to Qinghe, and the shouts of daily drills were deafening.
"It's so lively!"
Standing on the top of the city, Han Ji looked at Zhang Huan and the King of Yue who were surrounded by everyone in front of him, and said, "Zhang Huan wants to fight to become famous."
"Everyone has the desire to make progress, it's understandable." Yang Xuan actually didn't have any bad feelings towards Zhang Huan.
"The old man is afraid that Mr. Lang will be left somewhere by him, either silently or..."
"Either it's a pawn."
The two looked at each other.
Han Ji said with a smile: "But with Zhou Changshi around, it is difficult for Zhang Huan to go his own way."
"What do you think...how is this battle?" The old thief felt that his status as a think tank was not guaranteed, and he had been testing Han Ji for the past few days.
Han Ji glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Think about defeat before fighting. Zhang Huan is a veteran general, and his ability to fight is beyond doubt. In this way, the variable in this battle is the response of the Southern Zhou monarchs and ministers."
The strength and changes of the Southern Zhou army, as well as who is in command, will determine the outcome of this battle.
"Hey!" Nan He also joined in the fun, "The people around Zhang Huan are all saying that this battle will be won easily."
Tu Chang coughed dryly, "What do you think of the second child?"
Wang Laoer blurted out, "King Wei didn't come."
Han Ji was taken aback, "What does this mean?"
Tu Chang glared at Wang Laoer with hatred, and had to wipe his ass for him, "Wei Wang wanted to come to southern Xinjiang to fight, but Huang Xianggong refused. The second brother feels sorry for his neighbors."
"Fifty……"
The second child is an honest person, just as he was about to tell the truth, Tu Chang waved his hand casually, and a gust of wind rushed towards him.
"Ouch! Eyes!" Wang Laoer covered his eyes, and Tu Chang said, "That's right, eyesight is what counts in this battle."
A team of scouts has returned.
"Sir, there are more and more scouts in Nanzhou."
"This is alert." Zhang Huan said, "That's good."
Then discuss.
Civil and military personnel from southern Xinjiang gathered together, and Yang Xuan, as the representative of northern Xinjiang, was arranged on one side, very close to Zhang Huan.
The location is very face-saving.
"All the armies are ready, and Nan Zhou has also noticed it. So, this battle should begin."
Zhang Huan cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone followed suit.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhang Huan withdrew his hand, "Your Majesty told me that twenty cities should be taken as punishment for this battle. Before the war, many people didn't know about it, so let me tell you today."
Isn't it just useless?
Yang Xuan thought to himself that the false emperor was not a dedicated person, in his eyes, women were just tools.But in recent years, he only loves the imperial concubine.
If you want to say that the noble concubine can fascinate him, Yang Xuan doesn't believe it.
No matter how obsessed you are, you won't be obsessed until now.
People, especially emperors, like the new and dislike the old after all.
"Last year, the Southern Zhou Dynasty loosened the congratulatory gift as usual, and there was something humiliating to His Majesty in the congratulatory gift." Zhang Huan said angrily: "The Lord humiliated the minister to death, and the Southern Zhou monarch and ministers are bold. Therefore, in this battle, our Southern Border Army will fight bravely. To repay your kindness."
This angry look is a little fake...Yang Xuan felt that Zhang Huan's acting skills were still not interesting, not even as strong as the disgruntled Yue Wang beside him.
Since acting skills are not good, then learn from Huang Chunhui!
With drooping eyelids, expressionless face, and the appearance of dying years, who dares to say that we disrespect the emperor?
"How unreasonable!" Shi Zhongtang yelled, "My lord, I invite you to fight, and you should use the flesh and blood of the Southern Zhou people to avenge your shame!"
Look, this guy's acting skills are much better than Zhang Huan's.That angry look, as if the emperor is his own father.
what!
The imperial concubine is his adoptive mother, so the emperor can also be considered a relative!
This relationship made Yang Xuan a little confused.
Zhang Huan glanced at him, "In this battle, the old man led the Chinese army and attacked from Huocheng. Once Huocheng was broken, Yezhou shook, and then fell down..."
Yezhou is in the middle of the southern border, and Huocheng belongs to Yezhou.
Once Yezhou is broken, Bianjing will be shaken.
"Right..." Zhang Huan looked at everyone.
Who is it?
Yang Xuan was also pondering.
As a reinforcement in northern Xinjiang, Zhang Huan's greatest possibility is to put him in the central army and move with the army.When encountering troubles, shout out: Hey!People from Northern Xinjiang, go hack and kill them!
This is cannon fodder!
And the kind that couldn't be denied.
Therefore, before leaving, Huang Chunhui repeatedly told him that he should be careful not to be stabbed by Nanjiang.
"The right road is Xinzhou. Jingze, Jiangcheng, Shuangfeng, and then attack Xinzhou City." Zhang Huan looked at everyone slowly.
This is a good opportunity for meritorious service!
This battle is to avenge the emperor's shame. Whoever makes meritorious deeds will be in the eyes of the emperor. It goes without saying that he will be promoted and get rich in the future.
Shi Zhongtang glanced at King Yue.
It was instinctive for him to bow his head to Zhang Huan. If King Yue couldn't see this clearly, or was worried about it, then this person was nothing to worry about, and Donggong couldn't turn to him.
King Yue nodded slightly... Don't panic!
King Yue glanced at Zhang Chumao, who smiled.
The King of Yue nodded.
"Shi Zhongtang!" Zhang Huan said.
Sure enough, hugging your thighs is still useful!
Shi Zhongtang stood up, "The lower officials are here!"
Zhang Huan said gently: "You have been fighting with this old man for many years, and this time I will give you the right side. Do you know what to do?"
Shi Zhongtang was overjoyed, with a grateful expression on his face, "Break through Huocheng first, to scare the enemy's courage. Always observe the middle road, and don't give the enemy a chance to make a surprise attack...then attack immediately."
Once the attack on the right is delayed, or Huocheng cannot be conquered, Zhang Huan's army will face the danger of being flanked by the enemy's left wing.
Therefore, the offensive of the right army cannot be later than that of the central army.
Zhang Huan nodded.
"The left road is Huangzhou. Songcheng, go south, and finally point directly at Huangzhou City. Huangzhou is difficult to fight, this is a public opinion. In addition, secret spies have reported that Lei Qi, a famous general from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, is on his way to Huangzhou and should be arriving soon. "
Lei Qi was born in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and his ancestors have some alien blood, so he has been hated.It wasn't until recent years that they showed their hearts through marriage and other means that they gradually gained reuse.
"Lei Qi is courageous and resourceful, who is his opponent?"
Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, Zhang Huan's words successfully aroused the morale of the civil and military in southern Xinjiang.
"Master, I beg your orders!"
"Why do you want to increase the prestige of others, the next official is willing to go!"
Yang Xuan didn't move.
On the way from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang, he learned a lot about the situation in the Southern Zhou Dynasty through various channels.
In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, there were few wars in recent years, and the only war was to wipe out the natives in the country.
Lei Qi rose up in the war to exterminate the natives.
Personally fierce and brave, employing soldiers with vigor and skill, if it wasn't for Nan Zhou who looked down on warriors, at least he could be a minister.
Such a famous general will be in Huangzhou, which will add more variables to the battle on the left.
How would Zhang Huan choose?
Zhang Huan said: "The left side cannot be defeated! Once defeated, Lei Qi will lead his army to attack the left wing of our army without hesitation. Once the left wing shakes, Xinzhou will attack with a large army again. This battle will bring changes. Therefore, the left side , the old man must not only be steady, but also... ruthless!"
The generals who took the initiative to volunteer are waiting.
But how many people are confident?
How many people really volunteered?
Can't tell!
Unknown!
In many cases, following the crowd is also a statement.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Huan, the left army, to be handed over to the favored general.
Even if it was his own son, he would not hand over the Left Route Army to him without this assurance.
The bigger picture matters!
Zhang Huan's eyes turned slowly.
I saw Yang Xuan.
stop!
In an instant, all eyes were on Yang Xuan.
Zhou Zun caresses his beard.
King Yue smiled, but the smile was a little gloomy.
Shi Zhongtang, who was happy in his heart before, also fell silent.
Many times, there is no need to say much, just a look will explain.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and stood up, "Please give orders from Prime Minister Zhang."
Zhang Huan asked: "Are you sure?"
Yang Xuan smiled, "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I will never turn back and die!"
Zhang Chumao said: "This is not the time to serve the country with death. Datang needs good news, not news of death! Tragedy depends on the time. Are you sure?"
Yang Xuan said: "Who dares to say that he will win before going to war? Those who say that they will win are either bragging to boost morale, or they have a guilty conscience and use it to cheer themselves up.
Before Xiaguan set off, the three major ministries dispatched elites to harass our spring farming in Chenzhou. Xiaguan led the attack and defeated the enemy in the first battle. "
Zhou Zun said with a smile: "No matter how much you brag, why don't you come out and try."
The old man's words are powerful.
Zhang Huan pressed his hand to stop further disputes.
"Left, the old man will leave it to you. However, Lei Qi is an experienced soldier, so you must be careful and don't rush in."
Before Yang Xuan could answer, Zhang Huan laughed, "This old man's words are suspected of destroying his family's prestige. There are many cavalry in Bei Liao, and they come and go like the wind. If you underestimate the enemy, you may not live today."
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart.
"I'll give you five thousand pawns, is that enough?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "The army in the middle has to take care of both the left and the right. The left and right are partial divisions, so there is no need to be too bloated."
"It's good that you can understand." Zhang Huan looked at Yang Xuan with more appreciation in his eyes, "You are not very familiar with the generals of Southern Border, the only one... Wang Shu!"
Wang Shu got up, his face was ugly as if he was wearing a cuckold.
"You can assist Yang Xuan."
When he was in Chang'an last time, Yang Xuan successfully defeated Wang Shu with the Zuo Wuwei he had practiced in southern and northern borders.
After a while, the discussion ended and everyone dispersed.
"Sir, is it wrong to use Yang Xuan?" Zhang Chumao and the others left before asking the question.
"There's nothing wrong with it."
Zhang Huan said calmly.
After Zhang Chumao left, Sima Chuyuan said: "Although Deputy Zhang's heart is not pure, but Yang Xuan is not familiar with Southern Xinjiang and Southern Zhou. Isn't it a little risky to use him to lead the left army?"
Zhang Huan took a cup of tea and took a few sips.
"This is a national war, and Lei Qi on the left is a famous general. From the looks of this old man, it is most suitable for Shi Zhongtang to lead the army on the left."
Chu Yuan understood, "But Shi Zhong's two ends of Tang Shoushu are swinging back and forth between Xianggong and Deputy Envoy Zhang."
He concealed the king of Yue and replaced him with Zhang Chumao.
"Well!" Zhang Huan said: "This battle is extremely important to this old man, so nothing can go wrong. Yang Xuan's sole purpose here is to show off for the northern border.
In this way, if the old man ordered him to lead the left army, he would definitely do his best, otherwise Huang Chunhui would be able to deal with him without the old man doing anything! "
Yang Xuan left the Jiedu envoy's mansion.
"Lang Jun!"
Han Ji and the others were waiting outside.
"Left Army!"
Yang Xuan succinctly explained his mission.
"How dare he hand over the Left Route Army to Mr. Lang?" Han Ji was a little surprised, "The old man has just inquired about the news that Lei Qi, a famous general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, will be in charge of Huangzhou. This battle will not be easy!"
"You want to say I should refuse?"
"Yes."
"This is a national war."
Han Ji was startled, then smiled wryly, but stopped admonishing him.
After being tricked by Wen Simiao, Han Ji lost interest in the so-called family, country, and world. What kind of national war...does it have anything to do with the old man?
"Go and find out the news, besides, Nan He."
"exist!"
"Wang Shu will come out later, you can contact him. In addition, Zhang Huan gave me [-] pawns. Check carefully. If you give it to the old, weak, sick and disabled, report it immediately."
"Yes."
