Chapter 2612 Leading the expedition (four more)
Speaking of this, Master Zuo paused, and bowed to Emperor Qi again.

"Right now, the army of Daliao is pressing down on the border, the Yanmen Pass guards are fighting hard, and the people in the city are panicking." Mr. Zuo said.

"My minister is bold enough to ask the emperor to order General Luo to escort the food and grass to Yanmen Pass first, and the [-] martial arts army will be dispatched by the deputy general, and then rush to help."

"Weichen's suggestion is based on two considerations,"

"First, food and grass are the key, and they are a strong guarantee for our soldiers. Especially in the north, it is freezing cold and dripping water turns to ice. The food and grass are escorted by others, lest something will go wrong halfway,"

"General Luo is brave and good at fighting, resourceful and resourceful, with his personal escort, the whole journey will be safe and worry-free."

"Secondly, General Luo is the general in command, Your Majesty personally appointed General Zhengbei,"

"Letting him arrive at Yanmen Pass ahead of schedule is a kind of comfort to the defenders of Yanmen Pass and the people in the city, and will make them feel at ease."

"Your Majesty, you win the hearts of the people and the world, and it's the same in this war. The people in the pass support it. Then this battle will also help us."

"My minister has the guts to suggest so many, all for the purpose of defeating the Daliao enemy army in one fell swoop. If there is anything I have missed, I hope your majesty will learn from it!"

Lord Zuo raised his hands, bent down again, and bowed respectfully!
Qi Huang pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves, "Luo Fengtang accepts the order!"

Luo Fengtang took a step forward and clasped his fists together: "The end is here!"

Emperor Qi: "Let General Luo Fengtang and Luo escort the food and grass first, followed by the army, and set off on the same day. There must be no mistakes."

Luo Fengtang: "Yes! The last general is in command!"

……

"It's really deceptive. No wonder that Zuo in the court hall complimented you and recommended you. I thought I was thinking too much. It turns out that this bad idea is waiting here!"

In the carriage that accompanied Luo Fengtang back from the Ministry of War to lead the troops and supplies, Mu Zichuan was so angry that his face turned pale.

"This guy surnamed Zuo, because he is the Minister of the Ministry of War and holds great power in his hands, deliberately put on small shoes for you."

"Such important food and grass, unexpectedly ordered a thousand crooked gang leaders to accompany you to escort it."

"Although I am a student and have never been a soldier, but I have eyes, and I can tell at a glance that those thousand people are all idiots, old, weak, sick and disabled,"

"From the capital to Yanmen Pass, it's hundreds of miles away. If a group of powerful bandits encounters a little bit on the way, these thousand people probably won't be able to fight back. At that time, the food and grass will have to be robbed!"

Mu Zichuan became angrier as he spoke, "I want to change my route, go to the palace, and talk to His Majesty about this..."

He made a gesture to lift the curtain of the car to go out, but was grabbed by the arm by a powerful hand.

It was Luo Fengtang.

Ever since he came out of the Ministry of War and got into the carriage, he had been squinting slightly, looking rested.

Indeed, I was on the road all night last night, returning to the capital from Xishan, and I am a little sleepy now.

"Zichuan, forget it, you don't need to face the saint." Luo Fengtang opened his eyes, looked at Mu Zichuan, and smiled faintly.

His eyes were filled with emotion and gratitude.

Although he and Mu Zichuan can be regarded as rivals in love, Mu Zichuan is also an open-minded person.

In Chaotangli, they always take care of each other, share the same hatred, and they are also in the same camp as the second prince.

Luo Fengtang then said to Mu Zichuan: "If you tell the emperor, the emperor will think that I, Luo Fengtang, are not capable enough to accomplish anything."

"Let's have 1000 troops. Although these soldiers seem to be used to walking around, they should still be able to do things like escorting food and grass," he said.

Is it more than free and undisciplined?
Compared with his own Luo family army and the Shenwu army, those thousand people are simply scumbags.

"However, Brother Fengtang, it is a long way to get to Yanmen Pass, and we have to pass through several dangerous places along the way,"

"You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

"What I'm worried about is not just encountering bandits and bandits. These thousand people can't resist."

"I'm still worried that the one named Zuo deliberately made things difficult for you halfway through." Mu Zichuan said.

In the past few years in the officialdom, what he saw, heard, and saw greatly refreshed Mu Zichuan's previous cognition.

He has also seen too many of those routines of fighting openly and secretly, and killing people with invisible means.

Here, Luo Fengtang glanced at Mu Zichuan, and said: "Your thinking is indeed very reasonable, you have to be careful."

"but……"

"I remember Qing'er said a word. She said that a real cook doesn't give him the best ingredients to cook delicious food."

"Instead, the most common and unusual ingredients can be used in his hands to make unexpected dishes."

"So, I, Luo Fengtang, will accept all the errands of escorting food and grass, as well as those thousand brothers!" He said.

……

An hour later, the men and horses and food and grass were loaded, Luo Fengtang led the men and horses, left the capital, and headed north towards Yanmen Pass.

……

Ten days later in the morning, the carrier pigeon passed Luo Fengtang's family letter to Yang Ruoqing.

"How is it? Did the letter say when we'll be home?" Tuobaxian sat aside, peeling eggs for Luo Baobao and Dazhi.

Seeing that Yang Ruoqing's face changed a bit, Tuobaxian also became more puzzled.

"What's wrong? What did you say in your heart?" She asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother, Tang Yazi won't be able to come back for the New Year this year. He took command and set out to fight. He was named the Great General of Conquering Peking and went to Yanmen Pass."

"Ah?" Tuobaxian was surprised.

"Daliao and Daqi have officially declared war?" she asked.

"The 30-year truce has not yet arrived, how can we tear up the agreement?" she asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Daliao killed the envoy sent by Daqi, Daliao Ling Wang led a large army to suppress the border, and now they are gathered at Yanmen Pass."

"Tang Yazi took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the expedition. When this letter was sent, he had already left. Now, he should be on his way to Yanmen Pass." She said.

"Ling Wang?" Tuobaxian whispered the name, something strange flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, King Ling of Daliao, mother, do you know that person?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

He is also the coach of the enemy army who is about to confront Tang Yazi.

Tuoba Xian nodded, "King Ling is the adopted son of Tuoba Yu, this King Ling is not a simple person."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows. She knew that Tuoba Yu was her mother-in-law's royal cousin, and also the King Yu who kidnapped the little emperor and usurped power.

It's just that King Ling has never heard of this name before.

"How difficult is it? I have never heard of it when I went to Daliao before." Yang Ruoqing said.

Tuoba Xian said: "This King Ling is about the same age as Feng Tang, and since he was adopted by Lust, he has been keeping a low profile."

"Later, I was sent to Daqi to learn kung fu from a certain sect of the Ming Dynasty, and I have never returned to Daqi."

"Until five years ago, when I was planning to go south, King Ling returned after learning..."

"Wait a minute!" Yang Ruoqing suddenly interrupted Tuobaxian.
