Chapter 452: War is about to begin, send troops

Xiangyang is not far from Jiangdong.

It didn't take long for Wu Yanqing to receive the news that Chen Mo invited him to go to Xiangyang.

When Wu Yanqing received the letter, his wife Ye Shi was also there. Seeing his master's frown, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what happened?"

Wu Yanqing nodded: "Something big has happened. If someone is bad, not only our Wu family, but even the Song Dynasty may have to change dynasties."

Hearing this, Ye's expression changed: "Did something happen to Luonan again?"

"See for yourself."

Wu Yanqing put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

Four hundred years ago, Jin Xia was not as good as the Song Dynasty. It was not even called Jin Xia at that time. However, four hundred years later, the Song Dynasty has become weaker and weaker. Even the small subordinate countries now dare to come. commit.

On the contrary, Jin Xia has become stronger and stronger, turning from a tribe into an empire. In the past few years, it defeated the powerful Gaoliao country and is thriving.

"This is from Xiangyang, it can be fake." Wu Yanqing sighed: "I heard that the capital of Dongyou Kingdom was also captured by Jin Xia. If I guessed correctly, Jin Xia attacked on two fronts: east and west. The Song Dynasty is here to annex the Song Dynasty.”

This is actually a good thing for him.

Luonan.

Such a big event as Jinxia's invasion can effectively cover up the impact of his mutiny and seize power, giving him enough time to control Luonan.

After making up his mind, Wu Yanqing took action immediately.

First of all, he issued an edict in the name of the emperor and announced it to the world, allowing all forces to send troops to resist foreign enemies.

"Master" Ye's eyes turned red.

"Probably not. If I guessed correctly, he probably wanted to send me to Huaizhou to take charge." Wu Yanqing said.

"He has a deep grudge with King Huai. Now that Jin Xia invades, it is a godsend opportunity for King Huai. If King Huai takes advantage of him to challenge Jin Xia, he attacks Huaizhou." After saying that, Wu Yanqing turned around and said: " Of course, this is just a guess on my part. Nowadays, when foreign enemies invade, we should unanimously attack the outside world. After all, King Huai is a member of the royal family, so he should not be able to do such a thing. "

The second step was to order all officials in the north to obey Chen Mo's orders unconditionally, and to give Chen Mo the power to mobilize everything in the north. He also gave Chen Mo the Emperor's Sword, which he could hold as if the Emperor himself were present.

……

"Then why did he ask me to go to Xiangyang? Could it be that he wanted to send you to the front line?" Ye asked worriedly.

"Why go to Huaizhou?"

Lu Sheng hasn't received the news that Chen Mo has asked him for help, but he already knows about Jin Xia's invasion from Youzhou.

Such a powerful country is now invading the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty is still in the midst of civil strife and people are divided. Wu Yanqing is really worried that the Song Dynasty will be completely defeated when facing Jin Xia.

The imperial court is in his hands, and he may not send troops regarding Jin Xia's invasion, but he must make a statement.

When Wu Yanqing said this, he changed the topic again, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "Now is the time when the Song Dynasty is in crisis. Even if we are sent to the front line, we should be duty-bound. Besides, my old bones are not good for many years." After living and enjoying prosperity for so many years, it’s time to do something. How can we allow foreigners to covet our land in Zhongzhou?”

Moreover, he did not go to Xiangyang alone, but brought nearly ten thousand soldiers from Jiangdong to fight against the national calamity.

"Jinxia invaded, Youzhou fell, and now it has reached Gaozhou. The Northland is in danger. This...isn't it true?" After reading it, Ye's hand holding the letter was trembling. Even she knew that this was A huge thing.

Of course, this is almost like a blank check, and the imperial court has long lost control of the North.

The only thing that can help Chen Mo at this point is nothing more than righteousness, which allows Chen Mo to send troops justly and without hesitation.

……

Xiangyang. As Chen Mo's order was issued, soldiers and horses from all over Linzhou gathered towards Xiangyang. Food and grass were convenient. Chen Mo had already sent a message to Zuo Lianglun and Yuzhou had prepared it.

On the school grounds, Chen Mo was wearing bright light armor and a Tang sword at his waist. Under the sunlight, the armor reflected the cold light, and his face was very solemn.

Below, there are ten thousand divine brave guards, ten thousand divine martial guards, twenty thousand trapped guards, and three thousand heroic cavalry guards.

Although Chen Mo claimed to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, he only had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, of which 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Huaizhou and 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Yuzhou, guarding Longyou. The soldiers and horses currently on the school field , all the people who can be mobilized are left.

Chang En stood on the lower left side of Chen Mo, looking at the endless sergeant below, his eyes could not conceal his astonishment, and at the same time, there was a touch of pride that could not be concealed in his heart, and he subconsciously held his breath.

"I think you all know it. Yes, in March this year, Jin Xia invaded Youzhou and massacred the people of the Song Dynasty. Now they have already reached Gaozhou, and they are trying to bring the war to Qingzhou and Yuzhou. "

Chen Mo stood upright, glanced around at the soldiers below, and said: "Soldiers, do you agree or not?"

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

Thousands of voices shouted like thunder in the daytime, exploding on the school grounds, and then fell silent again.

Chang En's heart tensed up a bit, and he subconsciously took two steps back to avoid tens of thousands of dazzling glances. He stared at Chen Mo's slender figure in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

"Very good." Chen Mo took out the sword from his waist, pointed in the direction of Qingzhou, and said loudly: "Bring out the camp and defend the home and country."

"Defend the home and the country!" the soldiers shouted.

Even Chang En was infected by this emotion and tightened his grip on the knife at his waist.

"Boom"

The drums of war are thundering.

More than 40,000 troops and horses, which had already been assembled in place, were heading north under the leadership of deputy generals Cui Shuang and Chang En.

In this battle, Chen Mo is naturally the commander-in-chief.

But he still had some things to arrange, so he let the army go first and came later with his personal camp.

After the army left Xiangyang City, nearly a hundred Suzaku Guards had been waiting for a long time. After the army came out, they immediately followed the army. Nine red cannons, covered with black cloth, were pulled by pack horses and pressed down on the dirt official road. Make deep grooves.

June 11th.

Wu Yanqing arrived at Xiangyang first with hundreds of light cavalry.

"Old father-in-law, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Mo met him outside the city.

Because Chen Mo already knew that Wu Yanqing not only came in person, but also brought nearly 10,000 Jiangdong disciples to help.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time, Lord Marquis." Wu Yanqing got off his horse and raised his hands to Chen Mo.

"Master Wu, please come inside." Sun Meng said from the side.

Because the matter was urgent, as soon as he sat down after entering the city, Chen Mo said straight to the point: "Old father-in-law, I invite you here this time because I want you to go to Huaizhou to take charge. I will let Huaizhou's soldiers and fish scale guards It’s up to you.”

The reason why Wu Changlin is invited to take charge is because he is a top-grade warrior.

And if he wants to fight against Jin Xia, Chen Mo will not worry if there are no top-grade warriors stationed in Huaizhou.
