Great Sui Dynasty

"It's not that I'm being unreasonable to call everyone here in such a hurry. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year don't give everyone a good rest at home. It's just that the military situation is urgent. Maybe everyone guessed something on the way here. But This time the situation is different, it is not where the food is made, and it is not some unsightly force coming, on the contrary, we took the initiative to attack this time!" The three-day ultimatum to Wang Shichong has passed, but there is still no news. I want Wang Shichong to play for a few more days, since he himself doesn't want to live longer, then Yang Hao doesn't mind incorporating Luoyang into his rule earlier.

Hearing Yang Hao's words, everyone felt a little unbelievable. Yang Hao always had to find a reason before sending troops, but now he took the initiative to attack. Could it be that he couldn't help it?There was speculation in everyone's mind, but they didn't know where to attack.

"Don't guess, we are going to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital this time!" Yang Hao gave them a thunderbolt. Although Qingzhou is powerful now, it is still difficult to attack Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, can you send troops after the spring plowing is over?" Fang Xuanling asked, a war needs a backing, and this backing is the economy and it can also be called the logistics. Don't look at the current prosperity of Qingzhou, but that is only superficial. In terms of background, it still can't keep up with Luoyang, which has accumulated for thousands of years. Maybe this dozen will consume a year's accumulation.

"It's not that this king doesn't want to, it's just that what you say must be practiced, otherwise others will think that this king is just scaring people!"

"You should still remember that when the king and the princess came back from Daxing, they passed through the Luoyang border and were attacked. At that time, in order to cover the king, Qinhu led people to block Wang Shichong's troops. I thought he was dead in battle, but the king just learned The news is that he is still alive, he is being imprisoned by Wang Shichong, and his life is already hanging by a thread, I must not leave him alone!" Yang Hao explained to everyone the reason for sending troops, but concealed Wang Shichong's plan.

"His grandpa's grandma's grandpa, Wang Shichong, the son of a bitch, the prince will give me Lao Cheng a team, and he will definitely rescue Lao Han!" Cheng Yaojin was the first to jump out, not only his relationship with Han Qinhu Well, it's just that he only likes to fight this little bit. (I feel Zhang Weijian's version of Cheng Yaojin's cursing is the most elegant. I used it for a while, and suddenly realized that it was great to have Cheng Yaojin around. If I want to curse, I can find him. No wonder so many books about the end of the Sui Dynasty always like to include Cheng Yaojin own faction.)

"Luoyang is different from Jiangdu, and Wang Shichong is not Yuhuaji, so he needs to be well prepared." Even a place where Yang Xuangan's hundreds of thousands of troops are in a hurry is not so easy to fight.

"But you can send a vanguard first..."

"I'll go!" Before Yang Hao finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin spoke immediately, fearing that others would preempt him.

"Okay, since Zhijie is so active, let you go ahead with General Zhang and take back the Luokou Cang!" Yang Hao looked at Zhang Xutuo, since it is a vanguard force, it must be highly mobile Troops, so the cavalry is a good choice. Now the Qingzhou cavalry has a troop of 2 troops in addition to Zhang Xutuo's 5 horses. It's just a lack of suitable generals. Su Dingfang still needs to hone, so Yang Hao Send him and Yang Yichen to the north to monitor the movements of the Turks.

"Yes!" Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Xutuo took orders, and Cheng Yaojin showed joy.

"The two of you each lead [-] cavalry troops and five days' worth of dry food. Set off immediately tomorrow, and the king will lead the army to arrive soon!"

In the early morning of the second day, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Xutuo led [-] cavalry to attack Luoyang, and the first stop was Luokou Cang!

In the next few days, the war machines in Licheng and even Qingzhou were at full capacity to make logistical preparations for Yang Hao's attack on Luoyang.Yang Hao planned to use half of his troops, that is, 20 troops, to attack Luoyang.If other forces use 20 troops to attack Luoyang, they will definitely be laughed at, but Yang Hao's 20 troops cannot be used as ordinary 20 troops.If all the troops are used, the logistics may not be able to bear it, and people must be left in case of accidents.

Three days, it took three full days to prepare everything, and all the food and grass were dispatched. Because the vanguard was in front, Yang Hao didn't plan to use the grain guards, and the food and grass were delivered directly with the large army, which saved halfway. Consumption, because Yang Hao only prepared food and grass for 20 troops for two months, which means that the battle must be resolved within two months, and this time is a bit tight.

During these three days, the Weapons Research Institute and the Gunpowder Research Institute were operating at full capacity, and a large number of previously stored equipment and firearms were emptied, just to deal with one Luoyang.

"Not long after I came back, I have to go out to fight again. Be more careful outside, don't charge ahead. My child and I will wait for you to come back at home. When the world is reunified, it will be fine, so there is no need to separate again." Yin Mingyue said to Yang After putting on the armor, she leaned into Yang Hao's arms and said softly, after becoming pregnant, he prefers to rely on Yang Hao, and is even more afraid of parting, just like today, if she usually thinks so in her heart, she won't say it come out.

"Don't worry, I will be back soon, and there are 20 troops here, don't worry about your safety, you are well at home, Xiaozhi and the others should be here too, when the time comes, the queen mother and mother-in-law will take care of you, so I can leave with peace of mind. " Yang Hao kissed Yin Mingyue's forehead lightly, and said affectionately.He didn't want to say goodbye either, especially when Yin Mingyue was pregnant.

"When the world is peaceful in the future, I will take you around and visit this wonderful river and mountain!" Yang Hao promised Yin Mingyue.

"Well, I'll wait for your return!"

After bidding farewell to Gentle Township, Yang Hao bid farewell to Empress Xiao and then rushed to the barracks. Today is the day when the army starts.

"Rongrong is about to give birth, so Shubao will stay in Licheng, stay with me, and take care of Licheng and Qingzhou by the way." Yang Hao was the first to let Qin Shubao stay in Licheng. There were still battles to be fought, but he missed himself. There will be a lot of regrets when the child is born, especially the first child.

"Yes!" Although he was a little regretful, Qin Shubao knew that Yang Hao was thinking of him, so he didn't force it.

"Jiande is also staying in Licheng. The soldiers and horses brought back from Jiangdu last time still need you to train." Although Yang Hao has 50 horses in his hands, the ones who can fight are currently only a dozen or 20. , the rest have not been rectified and are temporarily useless.

"Subordinates obey." For Dou Jiande, big battles are not his favorite, but he is happy to communicate with soldiers.

"General Xue, please help take care of the army. If Shubao and Jiande do something wrong, please point them out." Yang Hao bowed his hands to Xue Shixiong and said. In the army to help manage military affairs and train soldiers, the most important thing is that Yang Hao let him enter the army so that he can pass on his decades of experience in leading troops to these young generals.

"My lord is serious, this is a matter of the old minister's duty." Xue Shixiong hurriedly stopped Yang Hao from moving, but he was very excited in his heart, it was enough to get Yang Hao to bow, and it was enough to show that he did not vote for the wrong person.

"The rest of the generals listen to the order!" Yang Hao glanced at all the people present, and said in a serious and unquestionable tone.

"The end is here!"

"Li Jing was appointed as the former commander of the army, Pei Renji was appointed as the deputy commander, and the generals under the tent, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan, and Wang Junke, commanded [-] troops and set out first. Du Ruhui, Luo Shixin, Yang Fan, Jin Yu, and Xu Qing followed me to lead [-] troops. The army in the middle, escort the food and grass before going." Yang Hao divided the army into two for the convenience of management.If it weren't for the lack of capable commanders, or he would like to get a left and right middle and rear troops, the fewer people, the easier it is to carry out orders.And this time, Du Ruhui was also brought along. After all, if a Sima of the prince's mansion did not go out with the army once, it would be unreasonable. Moreover, the food and equipment brought this time were too much, and someone needed to deploy them, and Du Ruhui was the most suitable. With him at least efficiency is not a problem.

"Yes!" Everyone knew that this time it was an all-out force. After all, there was no such lineup before, regardless of the number of troops or the number of generals. This can be regarded as an unprecedented lineup for Licheng's army.

"If the King Chun Geng can't come back in two months, then Xuanqiao will be in charge!" Although the plan is to end the war in two months, once the war starts, he can't control it. After all, there are too many variables.

"Please don't worry, my lord! Ling will definitely take care of Qingzhou's affairs." It's not the first time that Fang Xuanling has handled Qingzhou's affairs by himself. Yang Hao is often not in Licheng, and he and Du Ruhui will handle the rest of the affairs. Du Ruhui mainly deals with military affairs, so he handles many things by himself.

"This time it's not just Qingzhou, the Jianghuai area, you need to worry more about the Jiangnan area." Yang Wei's territory is now several times larger, and Fang Xuanling may not be able to handle it alone, but fortunately there is still Pei Ju in Jiangdu, Jiangnan They shared a lot of affairs with the Jianghuai area, otherwise Fang Xuanling would have died of exhaustion no matter how powerful he was.

After slaughtering pigs and sheep in front of the hero monument, Yang Hao ordered the army to march to Luoyang, and the war was about to break out!
