Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 367
In March of Xinhai, the first year of Qi Zhaode, he sent an edict to the people in the south of the Yangtze River, saying:
"The Liang family went to the end of the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Xiao Yan, an old thief, was originally a side branch, delusional about holy treasures;Gluttony is a crime, owls are fierce, kill the old lord and occupy his position, kill his heirs and steal his country, the behavior of animals, the anger of humans and gods, this is Xiao Yan's crime!
'Since there is the Liang family, he is the lord of the country and has sacrificed his life in the temple several times.Don't ask about strategies to benefit the common people, but only use lectures to promote Buddhism.Widely built monasteries, wasted treasury, repeatedly imposed labor, and the people were unbearable.Sigh!One person worships Buddha, and all the people mourn together. This is Xiao Yan's two crimes!

"Looking at the history books, there is no one who is more than Liang.He controlled the court from afar and indulged his officials. He indulged lawlessness with his family and ministers. He was cruel and rebellious, killing the people's bone marrow, and the people were suffering, and danger was already a sign.

’ Husband has heard that people are established by faith, so there is a Shang monarch who erects a tree, and Zeng Zi slaughters a dolphin, let alone the king.The former Taizu sent an envoy to the Liang family to make an alliance with him. Before the ink was dry, there was a military disaster, and he was untrustworthy. This is Xiao Yan's four crimes!

'The crimes are numerous and numerous, too numerous to describe. '

'In the past, Jin Zuo declined, so there was a confrontation between the North and the South for 230 years, and the separation of the flesh and blood.

"Emperor Taizu Wu, with a humble body, sent his ambition to rise to the clouds, overcame thorns and thorns, and created a foundation. He wanted to make the people of the north and the south into one family.

"Qizhu inherited his father's will, got the sign of heaven, obeyed the will of the people, was ordered to practice Zuo, had millions of teachers, led the country of thousands of miles, raised the people for seven years, and the people were prosperous.

'However, the people in the south of the Yangtze River were enslaved by the Liang family, so Xingyi teachers used 80 horsemen and 20 sailors to punish the people.

'Now spread it to the world, and the salty envoys will know it. '

On the thirteenth day of March in the first year of Zhaode (548), that is, the second day Gao Cheng decided to march south at the request of his ministers, a call to arms against Liang that was actually dictated by Gao Cheng and embellished by Sima Zi was spread from Luoyang to various places.

Xiao Yan, one of Jingling's eight friends, naturally didn't like the ink in Gao Cheng and Sima Ziru's belly when the call to action spread to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was also very angry.

In the 48th year of Yuji, no one really dared to point his nose and scold him like this. As for the so-called million-dollar army, Xiao Yan didn't believe it at all.

At any rate, he has been Nanliang's home for so many years, not to mention whether there are so many troops in Cheng, if he really wants to send a million troops to the south, how many civilians will it take?

Xiao Yan and Chaotang Gongqing have governed the country for many years, and they know the truth and falsehood, but how can some local officials and small people in Masui be able to distinguish, especially in Huainan, there is a lot of panic. To avoid military disasters, many refugees flooded into Jiankang.

The so-called 80 step riders and 20 sailors are indeed threats. After all, Gao Cheng has trained for seven years and only has a total of [-] sailors, but bragging is not illegal.

For this southern expedition, Gao Cheng is expected to bring 15 cavalry and 15 infantry, a total of 30 soldiers, and then [-] prefectural and county soldiers will be drawn from the Sanhe area as auxiliary troops, a total of [-] troops will march south.

More than ten years ago, he set up horse farms in Henan and Hebei to breed war horses. After annexing Guanlong, he got a new Hexi horse farm.

Although the current Hexi Racecourse is far less than the two million horses at the peak of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after seven years of restoration, it has also supplied Gaocheng together with Xiurongchuan Racecourse, Bingzhou Racecourse, Hebei, Henan and other places. A large number of war horses and draft horses.

Therefore, these [-] cavalry were not single-horse mounted infantry, but elite knights with three horses. However, there was only one truly good war horse, and the other two were mostly ordinary horses used to attack the pace of the times.

In addition to the soldiers, Gao Cheng conscripted 15 Sanhe and Guanzhong civilians each, a total of 60 people, as logistics. Only Longyou was too far away to be exempted from the conscript.

60 civilian households, 30 soldiers, and various types of horses. The daily cost of people and horses is not a small number. The officials of the household department have been working hard these days, allocating materials from various places, and even many places are used to stabilize food prices. The Changping warehouses were all sent to Luoyang to ensure the supply for the army's southern expedition.

At the same time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are also hurrying up to manufacture more weapons and siege equipment.

However, whether it is the recruitment of civilian husbands or the call-up of state and county soldiers, it is not possible to complete the dispatch in a short period of time.

Gao Cheng ordered the governor, She Digan, to lead the navy to go first to the front line in Huaibei, while he himself gathered food, grass and soldiers in Luoyang.

On March 28, the first year of Zhaode, only [-] days after the edict of the Southern Expedition was issued, all [-] Xianbei soldiers from Guangxi and Liangzhou arrived in Luoyang to listen to the order of Emperor Daqi.

Gao Cheng took Dou Tai, the king of Guang'a County, to stay behind in Luoyang, and ordered Zhu Hunyuan and Liu Feng to lead the original Gyeonggi army of [-] people, and to be controlled by him, together with Wang Shiliang, the leading general who commanded the forbidden army, to guard Luoyang.

Under Gao Cheng's command, Dou Tai's role has changed a lot. He is no longer used as a vanguard general, but is placed in the rear, and he is optimistic about Gao Cheng's home.

The Gao family has never lacked brave generals, such as Peng Le, Gao Aocao, etc., as pioneers, they are no worse than Dou Tai.

It's just that among the generals who have the qualifications to serve as left-behind guards, only Dou Tai can reassure Gao Cheng the most. As for letting the three confidants lead the troops to guard Luoyang with him, it's just in case, and there is no such thing as calming down more than ten years ago. During the civil unrest in Xuzhou, the troops were divided. Murong Shaozong led the infantry of the Gyeonggi Army, and Wang Sizheng was appointed as the deputy general. He secretly confessed that if Murong Shaozong committed any misconduct, he would be killed immediately.

The generals following Gao Cheng's conquest this time include King Hulujin of Anping County, King Gao Aocao of Yongchang County, King Peng Le of Chenliu County, King Han Gui of Ande County, and generals Gao Jishi, Murong Shaozong, Bao Xian, Pi Jinghe, Qi Lianmeng, Yuan Jing'an , Chilieping, Budahansa, Huluping, Huluxian, Hulu Qiangju, Murongyan, Xue Guyan and others led the army respectively.

Xue Guyan was only the Duke of Yonggu County when Gaocheng founded the country, so he didn't get the title of king. Hulujin's brother Huluping was in the same situation as him. The two people from Xindu Yuancong were only in the title Just one step away.

As mentioned above, with Chen Yuankang, Wang Wei, Wang Hong, and Wang Jun as the brain trustees, Cui Jishu, Minister of the Household Department, was ordered to follow the army to coordinate the logistics, and Gao Longzhi was also in charge of the Household Department.

Dou Tai stayed behind in Luoyang, and only had the highest command of the remaining troops in the Gyeonggi area. Regarding government affairs, the three provinces were still separated. , Gao Gan, and Cui Xian are responsible for the review, and then Gao Longzhi, who is in charge of the general affairs, is responsible for the implementation.

This time, Gao Cheng will also take away Danyang County Wang Gaoyang and Changshan County Wang Gaoyan, and his distrust of these two brothers is clearly revealed.

　Dazhang is at eight o'clock in the morning.
