Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 237

The monthly pass doubles for the seven days of the New Year, and brothers who have a monthly pass can get one!

After a night.

The time to part is still here.

Luo Cheng couldn't bear her sadness, so he didn't wake her up, but gently moved her head away from his numb arm, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and then quietly got up.

This girl didn't sleep all night last night, and she insisted on staying up fifteen minutes ago, saying that she would send herself away.As a result, the meeting finally failed and fell asleep.

Get up, take your clothes and go outside.

The adopted son Kan Leng, who was on night duty outside, immediately stood up.

Luo Cheng signaled him not to speak, "Don't wake her up."

Standing outside and getting dressed, Luo Cheng looked back at the quiet bedroom again, and said to Wang Huiniang who was standing next to him, "You stay here to guard your adoptive mother, and when she wakes up, just say I'm gone, don't worry about it." Come see me off again."

After some careless washing, Luo Cheng went out.

As a result, he walked through a few streets and alleys, but suddenly found a figure standing at the corner of the street.She was out of breath, and she didn't even comb her hair well, so she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, who is that girl if it's not Binbin.

Seeing her like this, Luo Cheng must have taken a shortcut to come here.

He smiled and stepped forward.

"Why did I wake up?"

"Okay, I'll send it to you."

"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I am not willing to call you, I want you to sleep more."

The girl raised her face, "Take me with you, I want to follow you even in the ends of the earth."

"But I'm going to war, and women are not allowed in the army."

"Didn't I follow you last time when the bandits were suppressed in Onozawa? I'll still be your messenger as before."

"It's different this time. I'm going to Zhuojun and Liaodong. There will be countless soldiers and horses, and the military regulations will be strict. If you are found in the army, I may not want to chop off your head. I can't bear it."

After coaxing for a long time, Luo Cheng finally sent Shan Binbin back, watched her take off her coat and lay on the bed, and covered her with the quilt before leaving.

Out of the city, at the gate of the barracks.

Luo Cheng saw his elder brother Shan Xiongxin, his sworn brother Xu Shiji, and so on. Even his cousin Shubao, who was still in filial piety, came to see him off this time.

"I have always wanted to introduce you to General Lai, and told you to come to our Donglai military camp. Who would have thought that, now you have become the Sima of the seventh-rank military mansion, and you are going to the front line of Liaodong with [-] soldiers. , but I can only stay at home." Qin Qiong said with some regret.

His mother died, and he had to stay at home for 27 months.

Cheng Yaojin said nonchalantly, "I don't want to go to that troublesome battle, I'd better stay at home and have a good time."

Xu Shiji on the other side laughed a few times, "You have a good idea, but do you think that you really don't have to go to Liaodong if you stay in the village regiment? I think no one can escape this Eastern Expedition. The seventh brother only It’s just the first batch, we will go there sooner or later.”

Zhai Rang said, "Sixth Brother Xu is right. The scale of the Eastern Expedition is unprecedentedly strong. No matter whether it is north or south, all the guards are almost out. Even the county soldiers and township regiments in various places must undertake the task of escorting food, grass and military equipment. .”

Cheng Yaojin pouted.

"This battle is not fought like this, mobilizing millions of troops? Is this a war or a show?"

"When I send troops to the court, I always have strong troops and strong horses." Huang Junhan said with a smile. Back then, Pingnan Chen sent 52 troops and went south with all his might.

Later, when the Turks were attacked in the north, they also sent 30 to 18 troops each time.In the 30th year of Kaihuang's expedition to Liao Dynasty, he did not send [-] troops.

However, his tone of voice was actually the same as that of Cheng Yaojin and the others. They all felt that the emperor's Eastern Expedition was too ridiculous. They were not opposed to the Eastern Expedition, but they felt that there was no need to use so many troops.

Back then, when Nanchen was conquered, 52 troops were sent, all of which were soldiers from the thousands of miles of the Yangtze River. After all, the war was fought in the Central Plains, and supplies were convenient. Even if they invaded Nanchen, they could even get supplies.

And Zheng Liao?
One million troops can only be squeezed into a small place in the west of Liaoning, a very long supply line. Although the emperor's intention is obvious, he wants to use a million troops to invade Pyongyang all the way and directly destroy Goguryeo.

But they didn't think it would be so easy.

Luo Cheng is naturally very pessimistic about this Eastern Expedition, after all, history has already proved this failure.But what about his status?

Unless he wants to be that headed bird, he would not dare to give up his wealth to rebel now, the time has not yet come.

After the last battle in Onozawa, Luo Cheng was promoted to the seventh rank Sima by virtue of his meritorious service.

However, Shan Xiongxin and other people who assisted in the suppression had the opposite result. Not only did they not get promoted, but they all quit the county military system, and now they all lead a township regiment.

The reason for this is actually very simple. Xu Chengdan's families are all powerful in the same county, but they are all descended from the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The court is still quite afraid of these people.In addition, after the last bandit suppression, they did not spend money to manage and dredge the relationship like Luo Cheng did.

Ever since, there was this result.

These people also simply withdrew from the county soldiers. Anyway, they have strong family wealth and still have some influence in the local area.Spending some money, he got the title of Lieutenant of the Township League, and then he paid for it and started a team by himself.

The local counties are also very willing to see these local tyrants can pay for the township regiment by themselves, which saves the county a lot of money and can be used when needed.

"You really plan to stay in the country and play by yourself in the future?"

Luo Cheng asked with a smile.

"I've seen through it. Those who are in power now are those people. They don't want to see me waiting to be in the top position." Old Cheng didn't diverge.

Qin Qiong felt that this might not be the case, "Actually, I think you may have misunderstood."

"I misunderstood you, that's how things are, second brother, don't you think that you can be awarded a brigade commander under the tent of Lai Nuer, and you really think that you will be reused. It's just that you are in a low position now, and when you want to go up again At that time, we will find that there are restrictions and suppression everywhere. To put it bluntly, we are all from the Northern Qi side, and those in power are from the Guanlong side. In their eyes, we are not even comparable to Luo Qidi. After all, although he It is also from Shandong, but the past few generations were just ordinary people."

Qin Qiong could only smile. Although he had some prejudices, he also had some reasons.

"It's a pity that you are going to Zhuo County. If you go to Donglai County, I can still write a letter to Marshal Lai and recommend you. But I can write a letter to Marshal Lai later. He must be good in Zhuo County." Don't worry about it, let's see if we can arrange to take care of it."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Luo Cheng was not polite either, he knew that in Zhuo County, among the millions of troops, he, the seventh-rank Sima, was actually a pawn.If no one takes care of it, it might become cannon fodder at some point.

"Brother, help me take care of Binbin." Luo Cheng finally entrusted Shan Xiongxin.

"When I'm not at home, please help take care of Zhangqiu's side."

"Don't worry, I will take care of your home for you." Everyone said one after another.
