Chapter eight hundred and thirty: fight for a fight

This winter is destined to be remembered forever by at least this generation. When they grow old, they will sit on a lounge chair, shaking big palm fan, sucking wine and eating fried beans, and telling the stories of the heroes and passionate blood to their descendants in this winter.

It was originally a season when birds flew across thousands of mountains and people died in thousands of paths, but because of the death of a person, an oscillation that affected the overall situation of the world.

This person is naturally Zhu Wen, who usurped the Tang Dynasty and relied on his own.

Putting aside the so-called justice, Zhu Wen, as a hero of a generation, will naturally be remembered in later history books, not only because he overthrew the rule of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, but also because of his unfamous death. And because of his death, from the north to the Central Plains, and then to the south, all forces seized this opportunity and started moving.

Zhu Youyu ascended the throne in Chang'an and controlled Chang'an and most of Guanzhong. Zhu Yougui was entrenched in the west of Shannan and remained silent. However, Zhu Youzhen gathered the troops of Xuanwu Town and Xu Fu in Luoyang. Under the banner of attacking Zhu Youyu, who was planning to rebel, sent troops from Luoyang and headed straight to Tongguan.

At the same time, in the south, Xiang Xun suddenly exerted force and took down the entire Jiangxi Jie Town in one fell swoop. At the same time, with Guiguan Guan Zhengwei and Rongguan Zhengwei, the coalition forces advanced to Hunan. Although there was no large-scale attack due to the weather, a large number of troops were already continuously divided into several routes to advance to Hunan. Hunan was facing pressure in three directions for a while. At the same time, Xiangzhang's allies and Fujian Observation Commander exerted force in the east of Zhejiang.

In Yangzhou, the Tang army, which had already gained a firm foothold, increased its strength after receiving the support of Liu Ruyan, the Right Qianniu Guard General, and also set its sights on Zhejiang and western Zhejiang. Although the two major forces belonged to the court of the Tang Dynasty in name only, they were already tense on the issue of Zhejiang and western Zhejiang and western Zhejiang and conflict was about to break out.

At this time, in the north, the main force of the Tang army dispatched troops and began to assemble. The main force of the Right Jinwu Guard stationed in Weizhou, commanded by Tian Ping, was mobilizing troops in a steady stream towards Dong'a, and the troops were aiming directly at Yunzhou, the core location of the Tianping Army.

Unlike other places, under the careful management of Li Ze over the years, the strength of the northern regions is far beyond the reach of a small Balance Town.

Even Tian Ping felt that this battle should not be too easy.

For him, he never felt able to command a war so easily.

He only needs to do what a military commander should do well. As for the rest, there will naturally be another official to take charge.

Just like when he was riding on a horse now, and when he was escorted by his personal guards, there was not much snow on the road, and the horse's hooves were stepped on, but they could barely pass through the horse's hooves.

Of course, this is not the snow, but the roads are just being cleaned.

Since Tian Ping surrendered to Li Ze and was appointed as the General of the Right Jinwu Guard and stationed in Weizhou, his power has naturally been reduced a lot compared to his father's time, because he could only manage the army under his command. Even in the army, officers from other places have strongly decentralized him, and the supervisors under the Supervisory Office supervised his words and deeds.

These people will not give him any elbows in military command, but they have a strong restraining effect on him in other matters.

At first I was very unaccustomed to it and felt that I was living too much. However, humans are habitual animals after all. Over time, when I saw that the other eleven guards were all like this, when I saw that the power of the center became stronger and stronger, Tian Ping became safe.

This is not bad, at least there will be no less wealth and honor, and there is no need to worry too much.

He doesn't have to worry about local governance, because it's the local officials' business.

He no longer has to worry about the military pay, because every month, the military pay will be paid on time.

The only thing he had to worry about was the training of the army, how to make the soldiers maintain high fighting spirit and maintain super combat effectiveness.

As a general from a military family, this is naturally not a problem. Now that the soldiers are full and dressed warmly, they can practice hard. If they don’t consume the extra energy they have grown up from eating and wearing warmly, they might be able to make a little trouble for you.

In the past few years, he has basically done nothing except training troops. It was not his turn to attack Zhang Zhongwu, so Zhang Zhongwu surrendered. Now he has made a nominal king of Northeast curl up in the east. This old boy may rebel again at any time, but seeing that his appearance continues to develop, if he is wise, he will be honest and dare not act rashly.

When he fought Tubo and Tocharo, he did not make a fortune, but was watching the fun. Then he watched helplessly as a powerful Tubo was caused by Li Ze's civil war. The people were living in poverty. Now they have become the sales place for the Tang Dynasty's weapons and now they have become the sales place for grain.

It seems that since Li Zejue got up, no one who went against him had achieved a good ending.

Now, it's finally his turn to play.

As a main battle legion stationed in Weibo, Tian Ping knew very well that once the Northern Expedition began, he would definitely be the first to set foot on the battlefield. Unfortunately, this credit seems to be shared with Liu Chenglin at present. However, Yunzhou is still his own. As for Liu Chenglin, he will take Tai'an first.

There will be no big suspense in this battle.

This is the conclusion drawn by Tian Ping carefully compared the strength of both sides over the years.

Let’s take a look at the strength gap between the two sides!

Weizhou is adjacent to Yunzhou, and Dong'a, whom I am going to visit this time, is even closer to Pingliang, which belongs to the balance. However, the gap between the two places is a world of difference in economy. The wealth of the people is also one in the sky and the other underground.

Dong'a is just a county, but the economic value created by this county is almost as good as that of Tianpingjie in a state.

There is a large military tent every halfway between the two sides of the road. These military tents are not for the army to live in, but are temporarily placed because of this military mobilization. As the residence of the civilians mobilized by the government, the task of these civilians is to clear the snow on the road and ensure that the army and logistics materials can pass smoothly. Of course, these civilians will also make large pots of hot water and ginger tea, which will provide the army with heating and relieve fatigue when the army passes by.

Such facilities extend from Guixiang County, the capital of Weizhou, their starting place, to Dong'a County. They are entirely under the responsibility of the local government led by the Weizhou Governor.

In Tian Ping's memory, such things were unimaginable in the past.

Under Li Ze's rule, the relationship between the army and the people was no longer incompatible or even opposite, but was more like fish and water. The army protected the people, and the people did their best to provide support to the army.

Tian Ping did not make such requests as local governments, but local governments were doing it voluntarily, which also required a lot of money, whether it was the wages of the people and the firewood, ginger, and pepper transported here.

"General, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body!" A personal guard got off the horse and brought a bowl of ginger soup to Tian Ping: "The leader of the civilians here heard that it was you, so he added several spoons of brown sugar to the fear!"

Tian Ping laughed, shook the snow on his body, and said, "This bowl of ginger soup is not cheap. I want to invite Ke Shier to have a good meal. I have to thank him for these things he did for our You Jinwu Guard."

The Ke Thiertou mentioned by Tian Ping is Ke Hao, the governor of Weizhou. An official from Wuwei Academy. He is much younger than Tian Ping, but he is very experienced in his work. In the early days of his arrival in Weizhou, he had many conflicts with Tian Ping. His temper is definitely not in harmony with Tian Ping, but it is not in harmony with him. However, in terms of official business, he never pulls Tian Ping's back. As long as it is a legitimate need, he never shorts Tian Ping's one's son, and when he should ask for Tian Ping, he can also lose his face and be patient.

"Governor Ke and we are all together. This time we work with the Right Guard to attack the balance. If we fall behind and lose to the Right Guard, then he, Governor Ke, will not look good at the face." The personal guard has been following Tian Ping for many years, and he has not been much restrained in speaking, saying: "He can naturally tell the difference. If his logistics supply is not in place, then the general will smash his home, right?"

"How could it be lost to the Right Guard?" Tian Ping laughed: "Just looking at what Ke Shiertou did, compared with Liu Chenglin, we can launch an offensive in advance for at least ten days. When we take Yunzhou, we will help Liu Chenglin and give him a good help."

"He is the most powerful general in the north, but the right Xiaogu is bragging about himself. Not to mention our right Jinwu Guard, even the left and right Weigu is not convinced. The general, the first powerful general is attacked, but not blown out. Seeing that the southern expedition is about to begin, who are we, Wei Bobing, afraid of?"

"You dare to say it!" Tian Ping smiled slightly: "But remember, it's not Wei Bobing, we are the Right Jinwu Guard!"

The personal soldier nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, General."

With the reins of Tianping, the war horses ran forward lightly: "We will leave, we will arrive one day earlier, and we will start the move one day earlier. I have been waiting for this day too long. The most powerful general in the north, hahaha, I may have to fight for it."
