Chapter 599
Liaodong.
Xiangping City.
Luo Cheng summoned the generals.
There were many generals and schools in the White Tiger Festival Hall. However, the generals and schools looked more solemn, no longer as relaxed as usual during military discussions.
"Everyone, you have also seen the order of your Majesty to serve the king. The Turkic wolf ambition actually took advantage of the time when Your Majesty inspected the northern border and planned to rob the saint's carriage and gathered 300,000 Turkic people to go south. Now they have already defeated dozens of cities in the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen. Only Yanmen County and Wan County are still defending, and the rest are all captured."
"Now the white-eyed wolf Duji is attacking Yanmen day and night. Although there are 100,000 Xiaoguo Guards in Yanmen City, 150,000 soldiers and civilians, but there are only 20 days of food. Now, a few days have passed, and only half a month of food is left."
Duan Da, deputy envoy of the Jieduan, said, "Please call Luo to dispatch troops to help the king quickly!"
"It is natural to serve the king. I'm asking you to come today to make arrangements for sending troops. Rescue soldiers is like putting out fires, so I decided to just rush to rescue them to avoid wasting time on the road."
Luo Cheng announced that he would bring nine thousand light cavalry and three thousand heavy cavalry to Yanmen to serve the king and rescue the emperor.
"Deputy Envoy Duan will go with me to rescue the lords. General Hou Mo Chen and Sima Wei Zheng are responsible for staying in Liaodong. General Feng Xiaoci is in charge of Liaodong City. The prefect of Xincheng Fang Xuanling and the prefect of Liaoxi Du Ruhui will work together."
"General Song Laosheng, the prefect of Jian'an, General Luo Cunxiao, the prefect of Lushun, and General Qu Tutong, the prefect of Liucheng, will all follow me to serve the king."
The fourth brother laughed and said, "I am just happy to fight, I have never beaten the Turks yet."
Luo Cheng also arranged the generals including Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, Li Shimin, Duan Zhixuan and other generals to accompany the army.
Zhou Dewei, Zhou Xin and other old brothers were also arranged to be responsible for staying behind.
"Is there a small number of only 10,000 people?" Duan Da asked.
"Weapons are more important to be quicker, and we must be quicker to serve the king. The more soldiers, the slower we will be. And we must leave our troops to guard Liaodong and guard against the Yuan clan."
"Of course, as soon as I received the order to serve the king, I had already sent people to inform the Khitan and Xi people and asked them to send troops to help. I made an appointment with them to meet in Beiping County. At that time, they should also send some cavalry."
Duan Da still wants Luo So, but Luo Cheng ignores him.
"The envoy of pacification, the envoy of Observation Li."
Luo Cheng looked at Feng Lun and Li Baiyao. One of them was a pacifier and the other was an observation commander. Luo Cheng and Duan Da were not there, and they were considered the highest officials of Andong Road. Since Luo Cheng took Duan Da away, he naturally did not want to leave these two people, for fear of bad things between them.
"Please follow me to serve the king!"
Feng Lun is a relatively smooth person. He is Yu Shiji's man, but after he arrived in Liaodong, he was quite honest and was pretty good with Luo Cheng. He didn't deliberately make any damage or anything. Li Baiyao was more responsible.
But in case, Luo Cheng was still worried about leaving them in Liaodong.
Feng Lundao, "I am just an official from Andongdao, and I am not my chief in charge of the army."
"I know, but it is a big deal to serve the king. It is more loyal to the appeasement envoy or go with him."
Feng Lun had no choice but to respond.
He knew Luo Cheng's plan in his heart. In fact, he had been in Liaodong for almost two years. Luo Cheng was arbitrary and acted independently, but there was no obvious handle. Especially when he was still very loyal to the holy family, Feng Lun did not go against Luo Cheng much.
But for two years, he has been unable to integrate into Luo Cheng's circle. He can see that Luo Cheng has truly built a big mountain in Liaodong.
After the military agreement was over, all the generals went to prepare.
Luo Cheng talked to Hou Mochen, who was in charge of the left-behind, and these two were confidants and there was nothing that could not be said to them.
"If the Yuan clan dares to invade, you can transfer the Khitan, Xi people, and Shiwei people to attack Fuyuchuan and force them to save themselves. If you don't stop, you will send a group of troops to cross the sea and land in Pyongyang, and join forces with Yang Wanchun and the Silla people to attack the Yuan clan."
"But if Yuan doesn't move, don't mess with him. It's not too late to deal with him when I come back."
Wei Zheng smiled.
"The autumn harvest is coming, and this is not a good time to fight. I am afraid that we will not fight the Yuan clan. They see an opportunity to attack us, especially if they don't come to attack the city, they just snatch crops from all over the country, or even burn food directly, which will be a heavy blow to us."
"You are right, so this time I only took 12,000 cavalry and tried to keep more soldiers at home. When the food is cooked, quickly organize the rush to collect it. If it really doesn't work, set fire to the fire and don't rob the Yuan family. Don't worry, we have saved some food now, and even if we lose some, we can hold on. When I come back, we will have to pay them back a hundred times."
The autumn harvest is sending troops immediately, which Luo Cheng is unwilling to do.
But it is impossible not to send troops now. He must send troops in the siege of Yanmen.
In history, the emperor had been suffocating for more than a month and reinforcements from all walks of life arrived. Even Wang Shichong, who was far away in Jianghuai, rushed to the scene. Therefore, if Luo Cheng did not go, the consequences would be very serious.
Whether it is to prevent the Turks from breaking through Yanmen or to show their loyalty, Luo Chengdu has to take this trip.
August 17th.
Luo Cheng led 12,000 light and heavy cavalry across the Liao River and headed westward.
Everyone rides on both sides.
Each person carries hundreds of arrows, two bows and five strings.
In addition, I only brought meat floss, fried noodles and some fine horse ingredients.
Apart from this, nothing else.
The soldiers and horses advance lightly, traveling 200 miles a day, almost without stopping, and the horses change without stopping.
After four days, Luo Cheng led 12,000 troops from the city of Liaodong to Linyu Pass.
More than seven hundred miles, only four days.
Under Linyu Pass.
The two tribes were already waiting for him.
"Kumoxi Momofu, who was waiting for the jin to be saved, brought his son Su Zhi to lead three thousand tribe warriors to come under the order of Luo Shuai!"
A burly and tall man bowed to Luo Cheng.
"Thank you."
The man said with some anxiety, "Due to the urgent time, I only recruited three thousand warriors to come. I hope the general will forgive me."
"Three thousand is already a lot. If you can save it, you have proved your loyalty to the Sui Dynasty and will be rewarded."
Khan Dahe Duluo of the Khitan tribe also came up quickly.
"Khitan Daheduluo and his son Mohui led 5,000 warriors to obey the orders."
The Khitan was still north of the Xi tribe, but five thousand came, which proved that the Khitan was very sincere.
The Xi people and the Khitan were once the same tribe, and later divided into two tribes. They were previously vassals of the Turks and later became ministers to the Sui Dynasty. The Khitans also rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in the early Sui Dynasty, but after being severely dealt with by the Sui Dynasty, they became honest.
When the Sui army defeated the Khitan, the ancient eight tribes of the Khitan collapsed. Now the eight tribes have been reorganized, and the Dahe clan has become the leader of the alliance. Dahe Duluo learned from the previous lessons and has always been very respectful to the Sui Dynasty.
After receiving Luo Cheng's emergency order, he did not dare to refuse to delay and rushed south quickly.
He also got Xi, two Khitan divisions of eight thousand light cavalry, Luo Cheng was very satisfied.
In this way, with his own 12,000 cavalry, he had 20,000 light cavalry.
"Enter the Pass!"
