Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 369 Li Luo
In the first year of Zhaode (548), on April 45th, more than a month after the release of the edict of the Southern Expedition and the Call for Liang, the 15 civilians recruited from Hedong, Hebei, and Guanzhong gathered in Luoyang, and the [-] civilians from Henan were in Luoyang. Yuzhou assembled.

Compared with the fact that Emperor Xiaowen spent two months mobilizing before the war after he ordered the Southern Expedition, Gao Cheng was able to move at such a speed, thanks to the fact that he and his confidants had already been preparing for the Southern Expedition and dispatching supplies in advance.

On the same day, Gao Cheng and the crowd went to Mangshan to pay homage to his deceased father Gao Huan, and successively summoned many ministers staying in Beijing, including Dou Tai, Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, etc., in the Mingguang Hall. rest.

In the early morning of the next day, the imperial concubines and the Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun saw off outside the gate of Changhe.

It's just that Lou Zhaojun kept a stern face in front of Gao Cheng, and the reason for this was Gao Yan's military service. As for Gao Yang, she really didn't care.

However, Gao Cheng didn't pay much attention to his mother's thoughts. Whether she was satisfied with him or hated him, Gao Cheng would not take it to heart, as long as the other party didn't play tricks behind him.

The last bit of friendship between mother and son in Huaishuo in the early years was wiped out by Gao Zhan's death, otherwise Gao Cheng would not have insisted on taking Gao Yan away.

Gao Yang and Gao Yan joined the army, and the only one left in Luoyang, apart from his eighth son, Gao Yu, who was never loved by Lou Zhaojun because of dystocia, was the youngest son Gao Ji, who was 12 years old and nine years old, so Gao Cheng could rest assured.

Ignoring Lou Zhaojun who was hugging Gao Yan and wiping away tears, Gao Cheng told Princess Zhuzhu that if she was really bored after he left, she would move to Yanran Pavilion for a while.

She was withdrawn by nature, but since she became pregnant, her spirit became increasingly depressed. Gao Cheng Jianguo was appointed as the queen, but living in the deep palace exacerbated this situation.

Gao Cheng has nothing to do about this, he can only hope that staying in the Yanran House for a short time will make the other party's depressed situation better. After all, he has stayed in the Yanran House for six years, except for his uncle who is bald and beautiful. The contact with the local people in Rouran should comfort her who misses her homeland.

After bidding farewell to the rest of the concubines, Gao Cheng called his five sons to his side and told them that he was not in Luoyang, and they should not slack off their studies. As for his daughter, he was very lenient. As long as they are happy, even if they are illiterate, they will not be underestimated when they marry into their husband's family and have their own backing.

Gao Cheng also warned the younger brothers who came to see him off, especially Gao Huan, the seventh younger brother who had done evil together with Gao Yan, if Song Youdao was caught at fault again, he would not forgive him easily.

Gao Huan got a good beating last time, and somehow learned a lesson, so he quickly said yes.

Gao Cheng then asked the family members who should go back to the palace to go back to the palace, and those who should go back to the young prince's house to go back to the young prince's house, while he himself led the ministers who were seeing him off to Jianchunmen.

The so-called Young King's House was actually the former Prince Qi's Mansion. After Gao Cheng usurped the country, he raised his underage brothers in the mansion and renamed it the Young King's House.

Going out of Jianchun Gate to the Luoshui River, Gao Cheng did not build a new platform, but inspected the 15 cavalry that accompanied him on the altar.

With Gao Cheng's prestige in the army now, there is no need for him to stand on a high platform hoarsely to boost morale as he was when he was a teenager.

He came to the altar for meditation in a black armor, and the audience of 15 riders shouted "Longevity" in unison, in Xianbei, Chile, Qihu, Xiongnu and Chinese.

In the past, Fu Jian led the coalition forces of various ethnic groups to march south, but was defeated by Feishui, and the huge empire fell apart.

However, although the group of Hu people under Gao Cheng's command had different clans, their loyalty to the Gao family was far from comparable to that of the gang under Fu Jian's command.

On the receiving platform, Cui Jishu was reading the call to action against Liang for Gao Cheng. The guards spread the content of the call to arms, but not many soldiers in the audience were listening carefully.

Gao Cheng waited for Cui Jishu to finish reading the proclamation, and reiterated to all the soldiers that meritorious deeds must be rewarded and deeds must be punished. If you donate your body to the country, your family members will receive pensions. If you become disabled due to injury and lose your labor force, you can also be taken care of by the state.

Hearing this, the three armies cheered thunderously.

Compared with the so-called justice, they care more about such benefits.

Some of the 45 civilians had already set off ahead of time to escort the grain and grass, and the rest were waiting outside for Gao Cheng's order.

Following Gao Cheng stepped down from the Zen platform, got into the chariot, and with a single order, 15 cavalry, [-] infantry, and hundreds of thousands of civilians all followed him eastward to the skating platform, together with the [-] people gathered on the skating platform Soldiers from the counties of Sanhe Prefecture converged.

Following Gao Cheng's departure from Luoyang, spies from all sides spread the news one after another, and the battle of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Expedition kicked off.

At the same time, it has been more than ten days since She Digan's [-] navy arrived in Huaibei. They also fought several times with the Nanliang navy in the Huai River system, but suffered several defeats in a row.

She Diqian pleaded guilty to Gao Cheng, but Gao Cheng didn't care much.

It has only been seven years since the formation of the Northern Qi Navy, and now it is only the first time to go to the battlefield. No matter how much you practice, it can't compare to actual combat.

Gao Cheng ordered She Digan to lead the army first, so that he could fight against the Nanliang navy on the Huai River to lay the foundation for the decisive battle on the Yangtze River in the future.

In the final analysis, Beiqi's family was well-off, so as long as the navy didn't suffer a devastating blow, a few defeats were still acceptable.

However, She Digan's complexion has not been very good. After all, he has never suffered such a loss since he participated in Xindu Jianyi. He was not present for Gao Huan's first western expedition.

The warships of the Northern Qi navy were no smaller than Nanliang, and they outnumbered each other. However, if they really had to fight, they would always be at a disadvantage. This was not only the reason for the ineffectiveness of the soldiers, but also a problem of the commander's ability.

And to push it up, isn't it that he, She Diqian, is not capable enough? Even though he has been humbly asking for advice from his subordinates Fu Meng, Guo Yuanjian and others in the past six or seven years, compared to the generals of Liang Jun's navy, he is like a soldier under his command , are all experienced in actual combat, and it is inevitable to be at a loss when commanding a water battle.

She Digan wished to call the generals of the Nanliang Navy, and everyone abandoned the boat and tried a few tricks on land.

A few days ago, he suffered another big defeat, losing more than [-] small ships and killing more than [-] people. After that, She Digan simply assigned [-] naval forces to the command of the generals, and divided them into small groups of troops in turn. Fighting with Liang Jun, he himself learned actual combat command on the sidelines.

For the Navy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the several actual battles with the Navy of the Nanliang were not small, and She Diqian learned a lot from watching from the sidelines. Materials for water warfare, requesting another general to be in charge of the water army.

However, Gao Cheng did not have any generals who were proficient in water warfare. As for Fu Meng, Guo Yuanjian and others, they were not confidantes, and Gao Cheng was not at ease in handing over 5 sailors to their hands.

So she can only let She Digan continue to suffer and take charge of the army for him.

　The big chapter is not finished, and part of the writing has been updated. There are still more in the early morning, and I will make up the [-] characters. Everyone will get up at [-] o'clock in the morning to read.
