Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Xiangzhou County, Weizhou.

Emperor Yan Shanbo was granted the title of Yan Shanbo, the general of Zhennan in the current dynasty, Di Qing, the left governor of the former military governor's mansion, and the army camp was set up here!
In the contiguous tents, the sound of the army's drills continued, showing the opportunity to kill.Soldiers coming and going kept patrolling, and the guards were extremely tight to prevent any prying eyes.

Di Qing has an army of [-], but because he wants to guard the two counties of Xiangzhou and Anshun, and guard against the northern border of Xia, Jin and even Tubo in the west, his troops have been scattered all over the place to guard.

Previously, in the Weizhou camp, there were no more than [-] soldiers and horses at full strength.

But today in the big camp, it was extremely lively!
The generals of the Yun army who had been guarding the two counties, prefectures and counties have rushed back to the Weizhou camp in the past few days.

In the commander's tent, Di Qing, who was in full armor and had a solemn and stern face, sat on the commander's seat.

The generals under his command gathered here, all bowed and saluted, and said loudly:
"The last general is waiting, see the commander in chief!"

Di Qing nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"The gathering of generals today is just to rearrange the frontline defenses."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the generals who bowed their heads in salute suddenly lit up, and their faces showed excitement.

Ever since His Majesty made the decree to move the imperial court to Jiangling as the accompanying capital, there have been rumors from all over Yunguo that the war between Yunxia and Xia will resume again.

The generals in the army also had guesses in their hearts.

But this time Di Qing suddenly summoned all the generals to discuss matters and rearranged the front line defenses, which made the generals believe that the war is imminent!
Di Qing ignored the excitement on the faces of the generals, and shouted loudly:

"General Suiwu Jiang Wei!"

Among the generals, Jiang Wei, who was tall and straight, with a heroic appearance, walked out quickly at this time, bent over and clasped his fists in a salute, and said in response:
"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead five thousand Youzhou Tuqi and [-] infantry from the Yunqi Battalion of the Forbidden Army to garrison Jincheng Mansion, guard the southern border of Xiangzhou, and guard against the Xia army from Xingqing Mansion!" Di Qing shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Jincheng Mansion, the southernmost mansion in Xiangzhou County.

Less than a hundred miles to the north of Jincheng Mansion is Xingqing Mansion in the northern border of Xia Kingdom.There are [-] elite soldiers from the Northern Territory of the Xia Army stationed here, eyeing them like a tiger!
Hearing this order, all the generals in the tent felt even more determined, this is the big one coming!
Di Qing paused at this moment, seeing the excited faces of the generals and their military spirit, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then continued to shout in a deep voice:

"The experience of the former military governor's mansion and the commander of Xiangzhou County are written!"

Born in the Yinyang family, but he prefers to study the art of war Shi Chengwen, so he hurriedly came out and saluted:

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead eight thousand Wudang flying troops to garrison Lintan City, and to push against Tubo Qingtang. You are also given the right to control and dispatch the cavalry under the same sheep and the six thousand troops of the four guards. If Tubo has the attitude of mobilizing troops, Immediately mobilize troops and attack westward into the territory of Tubo!"

Shi Chengwen looked solemn, and immediately shouted:

"Little general, take orders!"

"General Yingyang Qi Lei and General Wei Lie Zhang Tian lead the Yunjie Camp with 1 people, stationed in Lixian County and Wenshang County of Jiangyang County to guard against any disturbances in Tibet."

"Follow the commander's orders!"

"General Li Congye of Weibei led the Weibian battalion of 5000 people, stationed in Longzhong Mansion, and guarded General Suiwu's flank."

"The last will obey!"

"General Qibi Heli of the Ming and Han Dynasties led the Zhongwei Camp with [-] soldiers and horses, and settled in Zhuanglang County, Xiangzhou County..."

"Yes!"

……

Military orders were issued one after another, and the generals in the army suppressed their excitement and stepped forward to accept the military orders.

When all the defense orders of the counties on the front line were issued, Di Qing glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice:
"You all know that the upcoming battle has a lot to do with His Majesty's ambition and ambition!"

"Since the military order has been issued, return to the battalions quickly and command the troops. You must not underestimate the enemy's carelessness, or be negligent. Otherwise, the military law will dispose of it without mercy!"

All the generals responded solemnly and said in unison:
"The last general is waiting, take orders!"

After all, all the generals withdrew from the commander's tent one after another and left in a hurry.

But at this time, there were still two generals, one old and one young, among the handsome tents.never left.

Di Qing looked up at the two of them, and before he could ask any questions, he heard the old general and spoke first:

"Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, why didn't my grandfather and grandson receive a military order?"

This veteran, wearing armor, has a majestic figure, but his words do not have the roughness of a warrior, but a calmness, which even gives people the illusion of a literati.

But facing the veteran's question, Di Qing said calmly:

"Your grandpa and grandson have just led the army here. This commander is not clear about your abilities, so he has not issued a military order."

What Di Qing said was very straightforward.

The old and the young, the grandparents and grandchildren, had just been ordered to lead the army to Xiangzhou County. Their abilities and personalities were not yet clear, so it was naturally impossible for Di Qing to entrust them with important tasks directly!

Hearing this, the young general who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old couldn't help but retort:
"We are here under the orders of His Majesty to lead the troops! What kind of person is Your Majesty today, if my grandparents and grandchildren are not capable enough, how can Your Majesty let me..."

"To shut up!"

Young and energetic, hearing that Di Qing didn't seem to trust his grandparents and grandchildren very much, he obviously couldn't help it.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted angrily by the veteran.

The veteran hurriedly bowed his fists to Di Qing, lowered his head and apologized:
"This son is young, and he speaks freely, so please don't care about it..."

But Di Qing was not angry when the young man said this, but rather agreed in his heart!
Although the grandparents and grandchildren are old and young, they are young and young.But since he can gain His Majesty's trust and lead the troops here, it is naturally impossible for him to be incompetent.By what I said, I somewhat underestimated His Majesty today...

Faced with the veteran's apology, Di Qing waved his hands again and again, expressing that he didn't mind.

Then he looked at the grandparents and grandchildren again, and explained aloud:
"It's not that I don't trust His Majesty's vision, nor is it because I doubt the old general's ability. It's just because this concerns the lives of the frontline soldiers, and there is no room for mistakes and omissions, so I have to be careful..."

One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted to death. There have been many incidents since ancient times.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Di Qing must be extremely cautious, otherwise, if he is a little careless, many soldiers will be buried on the front line...

And as the commander-in-chief of the first army, saying such things to the generals under his command actually meant bowing his head and admitting his mistake.

Seeing Di Qing like this, the kind of teacher who was originally unhappy, felt a little embarrassed.

The veteran even pulled his grandson to salute again, and said respectfully:

"The commander-in-chief is magnanimous and cares about the soldiers. Zhong Shiheng admires him!"

[Purple training card, the family army]

[Card effect: After using it, you will get Zhongshiheng and Zhongshidao.The special arms "family army" can be formed! 】

[Card Description: Pingxia's achievements were mostly Shiheng's schemes, which were not well known at the time. 】

[Chong Shiheng, nephew of the great Confucianist Zhong Fang, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, the founder of the Zhong family army, an official to Dongran Academy, and a soldier in Huanqing Road.

Zhong Shiheng was single-handedly promoted by Fan Zhongyan, who was in charge of military affairs in the Northwest.He recruited the Qiang people, built a city to secure the border, and cleverly used a divorce plan to get rid of the confidants of the Xixia Emperor Li Yuanhao, Ye Liganglangling and Yeli Yuqi brothers. 】

【Chong Shidao, formerly known as Jianzhong, changed its name to Shiji because of the avoidance of Song Huizong’s year title of Jianzhong Jingguo, and was later named Shidao by Emperor Huizong.A famous general in the late Northern Song Dynasty.The great Confucianist Zhong Fangcong was the great-grandson and the grandson of the famous general Zhong Shiheng.

Zhong Shidao first took up a civil position. Because of his strategy, he later changed to a military position. He made great contributions to resisting Xixia and became a famous general. He was honored as "Old Zhong".In the first year of Jingkang, Jin soldiers went south. He was ordered to serve as the envoy of Hebei Province in Gyeonggi, and he advocated the resistance against Jin.Not long after, Zhong Shidao died of illness at the age of 76. Qinzong came to pay homage in person, and issued an edict to posthumously present Kaifu Yitong to the third division.The year after Zhong Shidao's death, the capital fell.In Jianyan, Shaobao was given as a gift, and his posthumous title was Zhongxian. 】

Di Qing pondered for a while, then spoke again:

"My commander remembers that your grandfather and grandson are also commanding heavy cavalry?"

Zhong Shiheng heard the words and hurriedly said:

"Yes, under the command of the last general, they are heavy armored cavalry. Your Majesty named it 'Zong Family Army' after studying and practicing the method of three generations of my grandparents!"

[Seed family army, second-level special cavalry]

[Soldier required training degree - 70]

[Preconditions - purple training card "Great Family Army"]

[Required equipment - heavy armor * number of troops * 1, spear * number of troops * 1, horse * number of troops * 1]

[Characteristics - attacking and defending the base: when attacking, attack 1, move 1.When defending the city, defense 1, HP 1]

[Attributes - individual combat power: 21, attack: 7, defense: 3, blood volume: 8, movement: 3]

Yun Kingdom now has a large number of special arms.

For cavalry alone, there are Youzhou Tuqi, Guanning Cavalry, Wudang Flying Army, and this kind of family army.

In terms of numerical value only, the Zhong family army is not as fast as the Youzhou tuqi, and it is irresistible.It is not as good as the iron wall of Guan Ning's iron cavalry, which crushes the enemy.Not to mention the tenacity, bravery and ferocity of the Wudang Flying Army.

But the Zhong family army is also the most average in value and the least flawed!
If it is used properly, this kind of family army may not be weaker than the other soldiers.

Looking at Zhong Shiheng in front of him, Di Qing finally spoke after deliberating for a moment:

"The southern county of Xiangzhou is the northern border of Xia Kingdom. There are many hunting and light cavalry. When encountering a large army, they will retreat immediately. It is difficult for heavy cavalry to catch up. And the mountains and rivers in the west are dangerous, so it is not suitable for heavy cavalry to attack. This is also my commander, another hesitation s reason……"

Having said that, Di Qing raised his head slightly, looked at the grandparents and grandson, and said:

"On the front line of Xiangzhou County, only the Weihe Plain in the Jin Dynasty of Xia Kingdom can be used by heavy armored cavalry. Are you two willing to go to Yongcheng to garrison, and wait for the battle to be the first to invade Daxing County of Xia Kingdom?"

Zhong Shiheng heard the words, but he bowed his hands without hesitation, and said in response:

"The final general is naturally willing!"

The soldiers on the front line are all focused on fighting, if they can take the lead in attacking Xia Guo Daxing County, how can they not be willing?
At this time, Zhong Shidao also saluted excitedly:

"Thank you, handsome!"

Seeing this, Di Qing nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal the two to back off...
-

Yunguo, Leizhou.

Only after the original Leizhou battle, the place where the Leizhou Navy of the Xia Kingdom was stationed in the past has become the territory of the Yunwai Marine Navy.

The [-] elite naval forces and hundreds of warships stationed here under the command of the eunuch, viscount Jinghong, and naval commander Zheng He.

But today, Zheng He, who was dealing with military affairs in the Leizhou navy camp, suddenly heard the sound of laughter coming from outside.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zheng, Ben Bo is looking for you!"

This loud voice, even though it was far away, was still heard clearly in Zheng He's ears.

Zheng He raised his head subconsciously, and saw the soldiers outside the tent walking in quickly, bowed and said:
"Captain, Fu Anbo is here."

Zheng He was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously said:
"Fu'an Bo? Yang Dayan is not in Daying, Shaoyang County, what is he doing here in Daying, Leizhou?"

How did the soldiers know this? He shook his head and couldn't figure it out.

This Fu Anbo and Zhendong General Yang Dayan is a muddy person known to the whole court, and Zheng He dare not offend at will.And back then, the two had fought side by side, and they had some kind of friendship with each other.

So even though he didn't know why Yang Dayan came here suddenly, Zheng He still hurriedly said:
"Come in quickly!"

Hearing the words, the soldiers quickly walked out.

Not long after, I saw Yang Dayan leading several generals walking into the tent quickly.

As soon as he saw Zheng He, Yang Dayan laughed again, showing a happy look, and walked forward quickly, saying:
"Hahaha, Zheng Neiguan, you and I haven't seen each other for several years!"

Zheng He also greeted with a smile:
"It's been about three years since the last battle in Leizhou. Uncle is still as handsome as ever!"

Yang Dayan heard the words, but he waved his hands again and again, shaking the fat belly under the armor, and laughed at himself:

"There has been no war for many years, and after a few years of idleness, there is still some flesh on my body, not as good as before!"

Zheng He frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously whispered:
"Uncle should also know that this is not the same as in the past two years. His Majesty has the intention of fighting again. At this time, shouldn't uncle be happy? Why don't you come to Leizhou instead of preparing for the battle in the camp of Shaoyang County?"

Hearing this, Yang Da's eyes moved, and he went straight to the point and said:

"Of course there is something to come..."

"The big battle is imminent, and I, Yang Dayan, thought about how well we cooperated with Zheng Neiguan in the Leizhou battle, and thought in my heart, let's cooperate again!"

Zheng He frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked:

"Cooperate again?"

There was a flash of light in Yang Da's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Rong County is mountainous and difficult to attack, while Yuzhang County hoards heavy troops and defends the city. I only have [-] soldiers and horses. If we fight together and attack the city step by step, how can we achieve any great results?"

"That's why I thought about cooperating with Zheng Neiguan again! Just like when Leizhou was besieged back then, use the Dayun Wai Haijun under the Neiguan to send my army to raid Jiangnan of Xia Kingdom from the sea!"

Zheng He frowned when he heard this, and said:
"Uncle is currently guarding against the troops of Yuzhang County and Rong County. There are only [-] soldiers under him. Even if he raids from the sea, I am afraid that he will not be able to mobilize many troops..."

Before Zheng He finished speaking, Yang Dayan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said:
"Officer Zheng, you don't have to worry too much. You only need to agree to send a navy to escort my army to make a surprise attack from the sea... Of course, if I, Yang Dayan, don't dare to mobilize without His Majesty's consent, you can do the rest. Follow me to play Your Majesty, please make a decision, how about it?"

Zheng He pondered for a while, wondering if His Majesty would agree, and he had Yang Dayan to explain, and he obeyed immediately, so he nodded and agreed...
