Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 699 Everything is ready
Early autumn.

On the banks of the Xiliao River, there is a company of soldiers and horses for more than ten miles.

A majestic horn blew from the tall watchtower. Five thousand and five warriors from Kumoxi, eight thousand warriors from the eight Khitan alliances, and eight thousand warriors from the Qi tribe, plus Luo The 5000 soldiers of the Zhongwu Army brought by Cheng Cheng had a total of [-] troops.

In the strong wind, the red battle flag of the Zhongwu Army was extremely bright and conspicuous. For the first time, a white tiger appeared on the flag.Behind Luo Cheng is the Jiedu envoy with double banners and double festivals.

Two generals, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, commanded the Zhongwuya soldiers. The soldiers were carrying spears, armors on their backs, and leggings, facing the wind, standing beside their horses.

And the soldiers and horses of the Khitan tribes of Xi Yu (xi) all carried swords, bows and horses.

Autumn is high, horse is fat.

This is a good time to send troops.

In the past, at this time on the grassland, troops were finally sent out during the season, either to plunder among the tribes, or to go south to fight grass valleys.But this year, under the command of Luo Cheng, the commander of the Zhongwu Army, all three departments went south together.

They will respect the king and fight against the barbarians, and fight against the Yuan family who refused to accept the king's transformation.

In Luo Cheng's handsome tent.

Luo Cheng assigned tasks. He used 8000 Khitan troops as the front army, 5000 Xi troops as the left army, and 8000 Yu troops as the right army, and then he led [-] Zhongwu soldiers as the rear army.

"This commander once again reiterated that the goal of this conquest of the Yuan Clan is to capture Fuyuchuan, and take down all the more than [-] cities of Fuyuchuan in one fell swoop. It is the same sentence, fighting with this commander will never let you suffer. Attack After going down to Fuyuchuan, the city, land, and population belong to me, and the rest of the money, grain, livestock, horses, armor, and weapons will belong to whoever takes them, and I will never ask for them."

King Xi Yang Guoqing, Khitan King Yang Guozhong, and King Duolan Ge Mo did not dare to neglect, they respectfully received Luo Cheng's command arrow, and then stood on both sides.

King Duolan Gemo is the leader of the Duolan Tribe, and also the head of the eight tribes of the Kun tribe today. Like the Khitan, they both adopt the tribal alliance system. It turned out that when the Tujue people were attached to the Turks, they did not dare to call themselves Khan. It is called a catty.Later, the Turks' control over the east was weak, so they also called themselves Khan after meeting the emperor of the Central Plains.

However, what is a little surprising is that this Duolan tribe is not actually the same tribe as the 蜫 tribe. There are eight tribes in the 蜫 tribe, and the people of these eight tribes are all yellow-headed and white-skinned, so they were called white captives by the Central Plains earlier.

But Dalanbu is a person with red and black skin, so he is also called Chidi.

Yan and Xi are somewhat similar, because Xi people are also mostly blond and blue-eyed.

Red Di's Duolan tribe became the head of the yellow-headed and white-skinned men. This relationship is a bit complicated, but it is not uncommon.Just like Tuyuhun in the northwest, the Murong family of King Khan belonged to the Xianbei Murong tribe who moved from the northeast, but the main body of Tuyuhun was mainly Qiang and Di people.

Because most of the people are blond, blue-eyed and fair-skinned, they are also called Baimen. They indeed belong to the Xianbei branch, and Xi and Khitan are also Xianbei branch, both from the Yuwen clan in Xianbei.

Strictly speaking, the Duolan tribe should be regarded as a branch of the Tiele people, but for many years they have lived together with the Lu tribe, and they have long been a bit indistinguishable from each other.

Duo Lan Ge Mo, red-haired and red-skinned, tall and burly, patted his chest and said to Luo Chengdao, "Father, please don't worry, we will charge forward for you, and we will definitely destroy the Yuan family."

In the beginning, this father was called by Duo Luo, but now the kings of the three tribes all called Luo Cheng's father.

For a tribe that is accustomed to respecting the strong, it is very common to shout "Adie".

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. In the south of Buyeo, I have already built military castles such as Tieling and Jinshan, and stationed more than [-] elite troops. At the same time, several other roads have also sent troops to involve Yuan. It will be easy to help Yu Chuan, and there will be great rewards."

Because Xi Qi's two teams followed Luo Cheng to fight the Turks before, and they did get a lot of benefits afterwards, so they still believed in Luo Cheng's words.

After the pledge of the alliance, [-] troops marched southward.

In addition to the [-] soldiers, there was also a team of servants from the three divisions behind, driving flocks of cattle and sheep behind them. These cattle and sheep were the rations of their army.

Marching for many days, all the way to the east.

The Liaohe River, which has been flowing eastward ahead, turns south ahead, and Fuyu City is 120 miles away on the east bank of the river.

Luo Cheng ordered to camp here.

This is about the vicinity of Shuangliao in the later generations, and it is about [-] miles away from Tieling Army Town in the south.

The two armies had already encircled Fuyuchuan from the north to the south, and in the south, the Xincheng and Liaodong soldiers and horses also moved forward to threaten the Yuan family, making it difficult for them to send a large army to reinforce Fuyu.

Although it was still three hundred miles away from Tieling, the scouts of the two armies had already connected. The forward scouts each traveled more than a hundred miles and made contact smoothly.

At this time, Luo Chengcai learned a lot of important news. During his time in the grassland, many news had been seriously delayed.

"Li Jing failed your trust, Commander. He fled from Tieling Town and tried to take a boat to Jianghuai to report. He was captured by General Wang Junkuo himself in the Bohai Sea. He is now being held in Liaodong City, waiting for your release."

"General Du Fuwei has officially raised the flag in the south of the Yangtze River, occupying most of the cities in the four counties of Danyang, Piling, Xuancheng, and Wujun in the south of the Yangtze River, and now has about [-] soldiers and horses."

"There is also Mayi. Wang Rengong has been unwilling to vote. General Wang Junkuo and the brothers of the shadow guards planned a mutiny. Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong. He claimed to be the governor and has controlled Mayi, Loufan and Yanmen. The three counties have mastered more than [-] soldiers and horses of the Mayi Army."

······
Listening to the news one after another, Luo Cheng quickly thought about the changes in the current situation.

This change was faster than he expected.Originally, Luo Cheng's plan was to advance step by step. He was not in a hurry to raise the flag first. The main thing was to contact the towns and unite the front. He estimated that the imperial court did not have such a quick response and such great determination.

Unexpectedly, Jiangdu's actions were quite fast, forcing Du Fuwei to rise up in advance, and Wang Rengong's lack of cooperation also made them have to launch a mutiny there.

But the results are pretty good.

In particular, even though Wang Rengong didn't cooperate, once Wang Rengong died, Liu Wuzhou led more than [-] volunteer troops from the three counties, completely reversed.

"General Hou Mochen asked the commander to rush back to Liaodong. General Wang Junkuo has personally brought King Qi back to Liaodong City from Pyongyang."

"General Hou Mochen said that everything is ready now, and we only need to give an order from the commander-in-chief, and the soldiers of my loyal military army will formally raise the flag and rise up, and then everyone will enter the pass!"
