Chapter 125: Expedition to Qingzhou

The flags fluttered, the drums sounded, and the lions lined up on the school ground, with murderous aura and shocking momentum.

"The king has given an order. Yang Fanhai was young and capable, and was a pillar of the country. He was specially appointed as the General of Zhengyuan, and was appointed as the fourth rank of the official position. Three days later, he became the general and led 200,000 troops to Qingzhou. He was controlled by the second prince Gongsun Xuanyuan, and reported major matters and made decisions on small matters. I respect this!"

The emperor was resigned from the general and the minister read out the imperial edict again, and all the soldiers let out a series of low roars.

On the side of the school grounds, Yang Fanhai was wearing silver armor and stood up, about to go to the stage.

"General Yang, wait!"

Princess Jinglu, who was beside her, called him, reached out to tidy up her body for a while, and then said softly: "The war is ruthless, be careful all the way."

Yang Fanhai nodded: "Don't worry, princess, I will be careful. You are in Zhengcheng, so do you. If you have anything to do, you can discuss with Zhang Zhi and Xue Chengtong. I am worried that the eldest prince will not give up."

Originally, the twelve people were going to follow him to fight. However, Yang Fanhai was worried that Gongsun Weiqing had deliberately let him go to war, the Duke of Ji was empty in order to make him revenge, so he only brought several subordinates from the time of Dingcheng, and the others stayed to prevent them from being unprepared.

It is not unreasonable to worry. When he went out, Feng Wuyang actually brought people outside to wait early, saying that it was the order of honoring the prince. Except for the soldiers who went on the expedition, other people from the Duke of Ji were not allowed to enter and exit at will.

Although there were not many actions, it was obvious that she didn't want Princess Jinglu to go out to see her off. After a quarrel, it was finally the talent sent by Gongsun Xuanyuan to finally end.

As Feng Wuyang said that day, with his ability, he was not as good as Yang Fanhai, but his task was to disgust the people in the Duke of Ji State, and to make the people inside feel uncomfortable is success, and this is exactly what Gongsun Weiqing needs.

After hearing Yang Fanhai's advice, Princess Jinglu nodded: "I know, don't worry. You go first, don't let Your Highness wait for a long time."

Yang Fanhai walked into the schoolyard and, under the attention of countless soldiers, worshiped the generals step by step. Looking at the figure that did not look so strong, each soldier's eyes were full of envy.

Although not everyone knows Yang Fanhai, I have heard a lot about him. I was less than twenty years old and had already made great achievements in Ji Kingdom, and now I have been named General Zhengyuan.

Not to mention a surrendered general, even the king's direct descendants have never seen such honors. Unlike the politicians' colorful instincts, in the eyes of these soldiers, the future prospects of this surrendered general named Yang Fanhai are really limitless.

Step by step, Gongsun Xuanyuan was already waiting on the other side.

During the major event of the expedition, the king should have been present to see the soldiers off in person, but for some reason, Gongsun Shaodian did not appear. Naturally, the matter of worshipping the general was handed over to Gongsun Xuanyuan for his behalf.

Take a silver helmet from the servant beside him and put it on Yang Fan's kelp. Gongsun Xuanyuan said: "This Mingguang armor is an armor that only a second-grade general can wear. The situation today is different. It is reasonable for the father to give you. Since you have put on this armor, try your best to fight on the battlefield."

"I will definitely go through fire and water until the end, and I will do whatever I want!" Yang Fanhai said loudly.

Gongsun Xuanyuan patted his shoulder and said softly: "If the General Zhengyuan is done by someone else, I feel really uncomfortable, but since it is you, it doesn't matter. Do it well!"

Yang Fanhai nodded: "I know that I will not let down the second prince's high expectations."

Gongsun Xuanyuan smiled, looked at the army in the schoolyard again, pulled out the sword from his waist with one hand, pointed to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Go to the battle!"

"Fight, fight, fight!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and their fighting spirit soared into the sky.

After Yang Fanhai thanked him, he walked down the general's platform step by step. A soldier had already led his horse to wait under him. He turned over the horse and bowed to Gongsun Xuanyuan. Then he made a peace of mind to Princess Jinglu on the edge of the school field and rode his horse to set off.

After leaving the city gate, he led an army of 200,000 toward the northeast.

Seeing a road leading directly to the end of the sky and disappearing into the horizon, Yang Fanhai suddenly felt inexplicably. The things in life are like this road, which seem to be far ahead, but there is no way to know what will happen after crossing a mountain or the end of the horizon.

Just like myself, I was fighting for the death of Ji and Youxiong Kingdom a few times. Now less than half a year later, my identity has changed and I have become the general of Youxiong Kingdom again, and I have also brought 200,000 people to fight for Youxiong Kingdom.

If you think about it carefully, it just feels ridiculous, but that's the case.

"Yang Fanhai, are you really going to do this? Isn't that good?" Xu Fan, who was riding a horse, said softly.

Yang Fanhai smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong. If you are in charge, I don't want anyone, but when it comes to placing troops, Zhang Zhi and Xue Chengtong are better than me, and even Wu Jin should be better than me. Now I am not suitable to lead troops, but I have already come, so I have to face it. I will leave this platoon to deploy troops and dispatch the scheduling matters to you."

Either don’t do it, you have to do it well. Since you have led your troops to fight, you should fight more beautifully.

Yang Fanhai had already figured out that after he was brave and powerful, he didn't understand the facts of military strategy. He led a 20,000 army to fight, but there were only two ways: either charge or retreat, and never divided his troops.

It is not his strength to manage the overall situation, but Xu Fan once showed his military talent in the past. Since this is the case, it is better to let him help him command, and he just needs to charge in the battle.

But in this way, Xu Fan became the head coach. He was just a puppet, which made Xu Fan always feel a little bad. He whispered softly behind him: "What if they don't obey the command?"

"Military law deals with it, kill what should be killed, and punish what should be punished!"

Except for Yang Fanhai's treatment, there was no difference between the surrendered generals. Even if Wu Jin and Deng Yuanwu were not bad, they could only be considered ordinary in the army of Youxiong Kingdom.

Moreover, they have no military achievements and no influence, and they cannot get high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Although they are following Yang Fanhai to fight, they are just as personal guards.

"What should I do if something goes wrong?" Xu Fan asked again.

"I will be responsible if there is any problem!" Yang Fanhai responded without hesitation.

The heavier the burden on his shoulders, the more he felt the importance of decisive decisiveness. Sometimes it may not be right, but people must not trust the leader, otherwise what they are waiting for will be a disaster. Just like the battle in the valley that day, but before the attack was still ambushed, his three thousand troops were blown away like fallen leaves.

The same thing cannot happen again. I must use victory to make these soldiers trust unconditionally.

The army set out to fight and headed northeast. In just two months, it had reached the edge of the Youxiong Kingdom's border.

As Xiong Kingdom emerged in Yuzhou, the first direction to expand its territory was chosen to go east. Now nearly half of Qingzhou and Xuzhou have fallen into the hands of the hands. In the past, they were waiting for the right opportunity before taking action. Now that Zhu Kingdom unified Yongzhou and Jizhou, Gongsun Shaodian felt that the pressure was too great and no longer cared about so much, and began to directly invade.

As Gongsun Xuanyuan said, in Gongsun Shaodian's eyes, Zhu State was one of his biggest enemies.

At the forefront of the country, he was naturally the general who should have been in charge of the defense of this area. After Yang Fanhai arrived, he took over the supreme command of the Qingzhou area regardless of whether the other party was convinced or not, and then let Xu Fan play his best.

After resting in Liaocheng, the main city of the front line, and studying the battle situation here, the two began to discuss countermeasures.

"There were three countries in Qingzhou: Shang, Lu and Qi. The monarchs of Shang were tyrannical, causing the people to live in poverty and starve for thousands of miles. Ten years ago, they were wiped out by His Highness the Second Prince and became part of Youxiong Country..."

Xu Fan pointed to the map and explained slowly. Over the past few days, he had already understood the general situation of the entire Qingzhou.

"Although Lu and Qi are not small, their strength is much better than Chang and Ji, but in my opinion it is not as difficult as I think."

"In the war of Shang Kingdom in the past, both countries wanted to take advantage of the chaos and expand their territory. They sent elite troops into the territory of Shang Kingdom, intending to make a spoil of money under Youxiong Kingdom."

"But Gongsun Xuanyuan is not such a bully. After capturing the capital of Shang Kingdom, he rushed to the east and directly killed the coalition forces of the two countries, causing heavy losses. According to the information, less than 20% of the people fled back."

"If Gongsun Weiqing had not secretly interfered, Gongsun Xuanyuan might have taken action to directly conquer the two countries."

"Ten years have been enough to train another strong army, but these two countries have been guarding against the Bear Kingdom over the years and have never started a war, and the Bear Kingdom has never taken action. Without the baptism of war, the soldiers and horses of both countries can be called half a new army."

"And the leaders are the generals who fled back ten years ago. The shadows of ten years ago cannot disappear. They should be afraid of the country of Youxiong. Once they have a head-on attack with us, it remains to be determined whether the generals and leaders' troops can exert half of their combat power."

"What do you think you should do?" Yang Fanhai asked. He was not very interested in analysis, and what is important should be done.

Xu Fan pointed to the map and drew a line and said, "The news of our army's expedition has long been known to the other party. According to the spies' return, Qi has sent a large army into Lu, ready to resist our army's attack together. He has set up defenses in this area and is ready to fight at any time."

Yang Fanhai looked at the picture of the land and pointed to a larger red dot city above and said, "The capital of Lu is not very far away. We divided the general personnel to support the troops in other directions, and then attacked in this direction and directly attacked the capital of Lu. What do you think?"

Xu Fan smiled: "This is indeed a solution, but it is not the best solution."
