Winter turns to spring, and the ice and snow melt.
The territory owned by the Han Dynasty, from south to north, from east to west, is full of green scenes in many fields, and the crops are growing well. The land that does not grow crops is also very well leveled, ready for spring plowing and spring planting. This vibrant look seems to be rewarding everyone¡¯s hard work throughout the winter.
Looking at this scene, the people's faces were filled with bright smiles, so they started to be busy again. This time is a good time for fertilizing and spring sowing.
Merchants can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They made a lot of money during the Chinese New Year and are very busy. Now they are re-planning their business ideas for the new year.
The year's plan starts with spring, and the same is true for the Han Palace. Important officials in the six ministries began to be busy.
At this time, the busiest person is the Ministry of War. Pieces of information were sent from all directions via flying pigeons. Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhuge Liang and other three people immediately arranged for the solution to be resolved through negotiation, and those that needed to be decided by the lord Liu Cong were sorted out immediately.
How could Liu Cong not appreciate such a beautiful scenery? Except for Cai Yu, Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao and several other ladies who were about to give birth, everyone else followed him to tour the entire Yuzhou, not only to see the great rivers and mountains, but also to see the fruits of the whole winter.
Liu Cong originally wanted to keep a low profile, but wherever he went, all the people and officials greeted him grandly.
There is no other way. In the last period of time, he can only visit privately on incognito servers.
Half a month later, I finally returned to Luoyang.
Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhuge Liang and others, who were very busy and exhausted, heard that their lord Liu Cong was back and hurried to the Han Dynasty Palace.
"Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, and Kongming, thank you for your hard work during this period!" Liu Cong knew from the bloodshot eyes of the three of them that they were very busy during this period, especially Zhuge Liang.
"It's not hard for me to wait. This is my duty. My lord also cares about the people."
After hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Cong smiled. It seemed sarcastic, but it was so sincere that Liu Cong couldn't tell clearly.
"My lord, Ke Bineng and Liu Bao are about to take action, and this time their strength is much stronger than we thought before!" Fa Zheng's face was full of worry.
"How many troops have they gathered?" Liu Cong asked after seeing Fazheng's expression and then looking at Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang. Neither of them seemed so relaxed.
"The Huns have gathered one hundred thousand cavalry in the royal court. When the ice and snow melt, they will immediately attack Beidi County. Xianbei, Xiqiang and several small countries in the Western Regions have united to form one hundred thousand cavalry, and they are slowly approaching Yumen Pass." Pang Tong said as he handed several pieces of information to Liu Cong.
"Why do they have so many soldiers and horses?" Liu Cong was a little surprised. The foreign population was not large. There were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered, but Liu Cong obviously did not expect 200,000 soldiers and horses.
"My lord, over the years there has been a melee in the Central Plains, but foreigners have not participated. Ke Bineng and Liu Bao have always been vassals to the Han Dynasty. These two people are quite powerful and have some abilities. They follow the way of our Han Dynasty to recuperate, accumulate grass and store grain, and then Coupled with their characteristics, they dismount to serve the people and mount to serve as soldiers, so they can quickly assemble so many armies." Zhuge Liang explained.
"What is the current situation of the Liangzhou East-West Corps?"
"Li Yan's Western Corps has 50,000 troops, of which 40,000 are veterans of hundreds of battles and 10,000 are new recruits. Generals such as Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Zhu Ling, and Pang De are training soldiers intensively. Wang Ping's Eastern Corps also has Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, but 20,000 are new soldiers. Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Hao Zhao and Su are training. Ma Dai went to Yumen Pass to look for Ma Chao and has not returned yet."
Liu Cong nodded after listening and frowned at the same time. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the bravery of the foreign soldiers and horses is by no means inferior to that of the Han army. The only advantage now is the weapons, including crossbows, Han knives and flying thunder. But even so, winning is not easy.
"My lord, although Li Yan and Wang Ping are both wise and courageous generals, as well as handsome men, this battle is extremely difficult. Therefore, each army should still be equipped with military advisors." Fa Zheng said.
"Kong Ming, I now appoint you as the military advisor of the Liangzhou Western Corps, to lead the army together with Li Yan to resist the cavalry of Xianbei and Xiqiang!"
The soldiers and horses of Xianbei, Xiqiang and some small countries in the Western Regions have gathered near Yumen Pass. The situation is complicated and the terrain is vast, so it is necessary to slow down the plan. Zhuge Liang is best at sending out regular troops, so it is most appropriate for him to go.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Zhuge Liang's tone was full of confidence and gratitude.
In fact, when he was discussing with Pang Tong and Fazheng, this was the caseIt is certain that, on the one hand, the war there is in line with Zhuge Liang's characteristics, and on the other hand, Zhuge Liang also needs to use such a war to prove his talents. Suppressing Nanzhong is nothing at all. Zhang Ren can accomplish it even without Zhuge Liang. And this war is the real touchstone.
"The Liangzhou Corps has no cavalry. Although we mainly focus on defense, sometimes we need to take the initiative. Send an order to Zhao Yun to lead five thousand cavalry to Jincheng with Kong Ming and set off today!"
"No!"
Once he heard that Zhao Yun and five thousand cavalry were there, Zhuge Liang became more confident. Although the foreigners had a hundred thousand cavalry, what was there to fear?
"The generals of Beidi County are weak, and many of the soldiers and horses have never fought a fierce battle. I, the king, personally command the army and act as a strategist with filial piety, and I will compete with Liu Bao, the wise king of the left!"
Wang Ping is just a good general at best, so there is no problem in fighting some small battles, but it is obviously not possible to fight against Liu Bao's 100,000 cavalry, so Liu Cong decided to go in person. Of course, when it comes to fighting, Liu Cong is not necessarily that strong, but it is different when Fa Zheng is around him.
"My lord, it's enough for me to go down, it's bitterly cold in the north"
"There is no need to say more words about filial piety, I have made up my mind!" Liu Cong stopped Fazheng, "What about a bitter cold place? The ancients said, one is born in sorrow and dies in peace and happiness. The soldiers can stay there all the year round, so how can I?" Afraid of it?"
Liu Cong¡¯s words made Pang Tong, Fazheng and Zhuge Liang extremely admired.
"Let Zhang Xiu lead five thousand cavalry to accompany me. The rest of the cavalry in Yanzhou will be temporarily commanded by Yan Xing." Liu Cong looked at Pang Tong again, "Shiyuan, if you take away your ten thousand cavalry, the pressure on Yanzhou will also increase." Big.¡±
Zhang Xiu was known as the Spear King of the North. Liu Cong transferred him to Beidi County to make good use of his reputation.
¡°My Lord, don¡¯t worry, I will guarantee it with my life, Yanzhou will have no worries!¡± Pang Tong was very confident.
"The Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Personnel coordinate to ensure that grain, grass, equipment, and military equipment are delivered to the Liangzhou Corps on time. Anyone who delays or neglects will be severely punished!"
"No!"
"My lord, there is one more thing that we all feel is a little strange?" Fazheng took a piece of information and handed it to Liu Cong, "My lord, please take a look at it!"
After Liu Cong read the information, his face was immediately filled with dark clouds. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
