first-class champion

At this time, Luoyang was not the same as it was that day. Three years after Duan Mingyu left Beijing, the new capital of the Tang Dynasty had begun to see its scale, but behind the bustling was the bones. In order to pacify central Shu, the imperial court put Wei Zhaodu in command. After a year-long war, the main force of the Shence Army had withered away. Duan Mingyu should not have paid such a heavy price for inventing the mortar and crossbow. But it just happened, the reason is the aging of armaments, Duan Mingyu did not invent stainless steel, so these advanced weapons have already been sent for repairs, but the large sum of money allocated by Li Ye was eaten up by the officials of the court layer by layer, so These weapons can only be used as scrap iron, waiting to go moldy.

The remaining weapons and equipment that can be used on the battlefield are less than [-]%, and the generals in command do not know how to fully use them, and their tactics are improperly commanded. This is why they were severely injured by the coalition forces of Chen Jingxuan and Wang Jian. Serious injury, in this situation, whether it is Zhu Wen Jianguo Daliang, or Yelu Abaoji Jianguo Khitan, Datang should rest and recuperate. Soon, the main faction in the imperial court gained the upper hand.

In the spring of the sixth year of Longji, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Ye worshiped Prime Minister Zhang Jun as his commander. He mobilized 20 troops from all over the country and vowed to make a northern expedition. The goal was Liang Guo established by Zhu Wen. .

The main generals in the court are Wei Zhaodu, Wang Yanzhang, Shang Rang, Ge Congzhou, and Xu Wen. These are the generals of Luoyang's Jingzhong Shence Army. They command the Shence Army. Except for Wei Zhaodu, the rest are Duan Mingyu's old troops. It can be seen that Duan Mingyu has retired from the court for nearly four years, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty is still playing a significant role. In addition to the 3 Shence Army, many people from all over the country came to participate During the Northern Expedition, Qizhou Jiedu envoy Li Maozhen (originally named Song Wentong, later named Li Maozhen by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, guarding Qizhou) led [-] soldiers and horses, Songzhou Jiedu envoy Fang Wenzhong personally led [-] soldiers and horses, Chenzhou Jiedu envoy Luo Hou personally led [-] soldiers and horses. These local troops were very powerful and were selected to participate in the great cause of the Northern Expedition. In addition, Jianghuai and Jingchu also gathered [-] troops to serve under the account of the Northern Expedition commander Zhang Jun. Listen to it.

Generally speaking, the frontier base of this Northern Expedition is Weizhou City. The army starts from Luoyang, passes through Bianliang, and then reaches Weizhou. Then it can attack Zhenzhou, the important town of Liang State. The imperial war machine is running non-stop. After the 20 troops arrived in Qi, the commander-in-chief Zhang Jun issued a crusade to Zhu Wen, the emperor of Liang, and ordered the Jiedu envoy of Hedong. Jin Wang Li Cunxu sent troops to attack Zhenzhou from Jinyang. The army marched to the front line, Li Cunxiao, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao and other famous generals all followed, leaving behind a veteran Zhou Dewei to guard Hedong.

As the confidant of Zhang Jun, the commander of the Northern Expedition, Wei Zhaodu can enter Weizhou City in advance. He is now the former commander of the Northern Expedition Army. There is no need to settle in the post house.

And Zhang Jun, under the emperor's order, will line up ten miles to welcome him into Weizhou Prefecture.

This is a great face and a rare honor. It can also express the emperor's respect for his family from another aspect. Zhang Jun's current title is rewarded by the emperor Li Ye. Zhang Jun wants to give the court so much strength. The imperial court must also repay it. In addition to these face, the power must also be sufficient, and the emperor must also express it in private.

Wei Zhaodu, as Zhang Jun's confidant, is naturally not short of some privileges, not to mention that he thinks that he has made great achievements in Pingshu, and he is a real material. Cooperate with yourself in the battle to achieve the final great achievement.

What kind of expectations do people have in whatever situation they are in? The legendary battle in central Shu made Wei Zhaodu a figure in the world, but most people can't see how reluctant he was to win, but the people in Luoyang only care about the result, don't care Whether it is a complete victory or a tragic victory, if you lose, you will be a bear, if you win, you will be a hero. When Wei Zhaodu leads the trend of the Northern Expedition again, at this moment, there is only ambition.

Maybe I can go a step further, a man who is a man, and wants to live a life of no regrets.

But at this moment, he just wants to enjoy the glory that belongs to him.

In the north of Weizhou City, Wang Yanzhang, Xu Wen, Ge Congzhou, and Shang Rang's troops really moved ten miles to the north.

Countless soldiers lined up to meet each other, everyone stood up straight, just turned to look north, and Zhang Jun also went out to the north of Weizhou city in person, in the official pavilion, led the commander's staff, and those who had already arrived in Weizhou Luohou, personally waiting to welcome Wei Zhaodu.

In the eyes of countless people, they saw several healthy horses galloping in the distance. Wang Yanzhang sighed, Wei Zhaodu's war horse was the Beidi Xiongjun captured by Duan Mingyu from Khitan. As if running on the road leading to Xiongzhou, a soldier in the lead held a flag with a big Wei character on it.

Countless Tang soldiers fell silent.Suddenly there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers.

In order to weaken Duan Mingyu's influence on the army, Emperor Li Ye publicized Wei Zhaodu's great achievements in Pingshu. Therefore, Wei Zhaodu's reputation in the army has already caught up with Duan Mingyu. To find out who this Wei Zhaodu really is, half of it is arranged, half is from the heart, I don't know where to start, a group of Tang Jun has already started to knock on the ground with their long spears in order, and shouted loudly: "General Wei, General Wei,

From near to far, the roar only echoed in the surrounding fields of Weizhou, and it also spread to Zhang Jun and others who were waiting in the official pavilion.

Zhang Jun looked around and just smiled. His staff members are old officials, so naturally there is nothing unusual at this time. Wang Yanzhang is also very calm today, but Ge Congzhou just muttered: "A game in Sichuan The war was stinking like shit, but it was still being praised so highly, I felt aggrieved thinking about it, and wished I could live in seclusion with Prince Duan that day."

Shang Rang just kept silent, he was one of the most powerful generals in the Shence Army, when he led the army straight to the commander-in-chief of Yelu Abaoji, the death was no less severe than that of Ge Congzhou that day, these generals were all capable , Zhang Jun also threw olive branches at them many times, but in the end they chose not to follow suit, and Zhang Jun and Wei Zhaodu were naturally separated.
