Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 124 Urgent need for war horses!

"He actually came back!"

"And now, we have actually reached the Tang Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, but he felt that he couldn't relax.

It feels like something is stuck in my throat and I can't get it out smoothly.

I'm back, I'm back...
That extremely terrifying young man!

"General Qin, what should we do?"

At this time, someone couldn't help but ask.

eyes.

Full of fear, filled with fear of that young boy!

Qin Qiong took a deep breath and said, "The child is back. Isn't this something we expected? You don't have to be afraid, because our army has already made preparations."

"This is, full preparation!"

After these words were spoken, all the dukes present calmed down a little.

Yes, yes~
They have been well prepared!
Why should we be afraid of that scary young man Li Chengdao?
Even if Li Chengdao's million-strong army arrives at the Central Plains, what is there to be afraid of?
It's not that they don't have the ability to fight.

Today's Tang Dynasty,
It is no longer the Tang Dynasty that was unprepared before!
They have made sufficient preparations!

….….….….….….
at the same time.

A few days later, Jiangdong.

Ever since the army arrived in Jiangdong, Li Chengdao knew that the situation would not be peaceful. Li Jing might even send troops to the south of Rujiang Bay because they had not yet gained a firm foothold.

But unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty not only took action, but also took action in two directions.

Attack in many places,

This is really unexpected...
now,

One of the county towns south of Rujiang Bay.

Baiyun County.

Su Dingfang has arrived with first-hand battle reports.

"Your Highness..."

After entering the palace, Su Dingfang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and glanced around, as if he wanted Li Chengdao to ask these outsiders to leave.

Li Chengdao smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead."

Li Chengdao was as frank as ever.

Even if it's military affairs,
It could endanger the entire Baiyun City, or even the entire Great Yan Army.
He is always like this, always like this!
Arrogant and bold.

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "Well, Your Highness! Li Jing ordered Cheng Yaojin to lead 3,000 Tianji Guards..."

Crunch….
Su Dingfang was halfway through his words when the teacup in Li Chengdao's hand was nearly crushed by him.

"Tianji Guard? Are you sure it's Zhu Tianji Guard?"

Li Chengdao, who was always free and easy-going, was now angry.

Su Dingfang exhaled, with anger on his face, and nodded: "Yes, in Liangzhou, after the Tang army wiped out our Tianji Camp, they used the seized Tianji Camp equipment to form a new Tianji Camp, which belongs to the Tang Dynasty...Tianji Camp."

Li Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly, his chest rising and falling, and then he said calmly: "General Su, please continue."

Although the voice was calm, everyone knew the rage hidden behind it. Even the servants nearby could clearly sense it and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, fearing that the King of Chu would explode.

Su Dingfang nodded and continued, "In addition to the 3,000 Tianji Guards, there are also 2,000 newly formed Black Armored Cavalry. They will join forces with the 5,000 cavalry led by Li An, Li Jing's deputy general, in Youzhou and attack the southwest of Rujiang Bay together!"

"According to the intelligence from the front line, their purpose of marching south is because our Great Yan army has not yet gained a firm foothold, but in fact this is not Li Jing's purpose."

"Perhaps it's because of the hundreds of thousands of troops from Great Yan approaching, or perhaps it's because the people south of Rujiang Bay were forcibly evacuated from their original place of residence, and they are full of resentment towards the Tang army." "In short, now the people of Jiangdong are full of resentment and have many complaints about the Tang court. Li Jing...his real purpose is to use this as a pretext to divert domestic conflicts and temporarily focus everyone's attention on this war, so that he can take the opportunity to eliminate domestic conflicts."

That's the benefit of intelligence.

Li Jing currently doesn’t even know the specific defensive configuration of the Dayan army. Perhaps he doesn’t even bother to know. After all, Dayan has come by water for several months, and their men and horses must be exhausted. In this situation, a quick expedition is needed.

even so.

There were still too many things Li Jing didn't know, but they knew everything about him...even the purpose of his expedition.

All this is because their people have mixed in with the people of Jiangdong.

Li Chengdao smiled and said, "So, I, Dayan, have become a pawn in Li Jing's chess game? To divert conflicts?"

After a pause, Li Kuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahaha! Li Jing is really worthy of the person I know, and he will do what he does."

"Then I will also let him know who is the chess piece!"

“General Su, go and call Yaoguang to me. Also, notify the people of Baiyun City and the army, and tell them that Dayan is going to fight! Fight a battle to protect Baiyun City!!”

"Although our army has just arrived at Baiyun City, we cannot afford to lose here! This is the first contest between our Great Yan and the Great Tang, and also the first contest of momentum. We absolutely cannot lose!"

"Call them to assemble in Baiyun City! When the sun sets in the afternoon, it will be time for our army to march out!"

Today, Baiyun City has been completely controlled.

All 40,000 logistics personnel from Dayan were relocated into the inner city of Baiyun City.

Yes.

inner city.

Li Chengdao spent several days to divide Baiyun City into the inner city and the outer city.

The inner city was the temporary living place for 40,000 Han people and 10,000 soldiers.

outer city,

It was a place where up to 50,000 slaves from the West lived.

The whole cross the sea,

There were originally 60,000 Western slaves, and 10,000 of the troublemakers were killed. The rest were basically angry but dared not speak out.

So, they will stay in the outer city obediently.

Anyone who dares to be angry or speak out will die in the dark within two hours.

This is a city ruled by force!

The more than 40,000 Han people in the inner city are above everything else!
"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders!"

Su Dingfang bowed and slowly took his leave.

Not long after he left, Pei Xingjian arrived at the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Pei Xingjian asked.

Li Chengdao nodded and asked, "Yaoguang, there is a new battle to fight. How is your Yaoguang Camp preparing?"

Pei Xingjian's eyes dimmed when he heard this: "What else can we do? Currently, there are about 1,500 troops in Baiyun City, and the rest are deployed in other places."

"In Baiyun City, there are many soldiers who meet the combat capabilities of my Yaoguang Battalion, but! We don't have the right horses to equip them with!"

"General Kaiyang's Kaiyang Camp is about to expand. Currently, Baiyun City has always had more than a thousand people, and it is impossible to have a full staff of 3,000. The same is true."

The water environment in Jiangdong does not produce horses, and Dayan did not bring many horses this time, so there was no new horse replenishment at all.

There are some horses for sale in Baiyun City, but they are all inferior horses and cannot outrun the horses of the Tang Dynasty. What's the point of buying them?
