Invincible son

In Daliang Capital, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has not yet dissipated, and the Hongling emergency report from the western region shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Emperor Xuanwu of the Western Wu Dynasty marched in person, and the millions of troops marched in parallel in the north, middle and south, and went straight to the borders of Daliang.

Many people subconsciously thought it was a joke the first time they heard the news—it wasn’t because they were timid and afraid of fighting. Over the past century, Daliang had been besieged many times by various countries. A simple value, that is, no matter how difficult the situation is, the leader must win in the end.

The reason why they were shocked was that they found it difficult to understand the actions of the Emperor Xiwu.

On the vast Gaoyang Plain, the Western Wu iron cavalry naturally had the advantage. After all, there were not many elite cavalrymen who could fight.However, Daliang used the military town built on the border as its defense system, and it was extremely difficult for the Wu army to attack the city.This time Emperor Xuanwu raised all his troops, which can be said to be a big gamble on the fate of the dynasty. In the eyes of most Liang people, this is a gamble that is destined to lose all their underwear.

The old and the young in the capital talked loudly, the imperial students of the Imperial College were passionate, the lower-level officials shared the same hatred, and the military relatives and nobles who were idle at home flocked to the Weiguo Mansion with thick gift lists, hoping to be able to fight in the future. There is an opportunity to lead troops in battle.

No matter what the reaction is, no one thinks that the Liangxi Army will lose, at least they can hold the border firmly.

However, in the Jianzhang Hall of the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was not so relaxed, and all the officials dressed in purple looked dignified.

Liu Xianduan sat on the dragon chair, unconsciously looking at Pei Yue, the leader of the martial arts class, feeling quite relieved.

In fact, after Pei Yue issued the warning of the upcoming war last year, not only some ministers in the court questioned it, but Liu Xian was also dubious.Although he did not doubt that this was an excuse for Pei Yue to further seize power, judging from common sense, Western Wu and Southern Zhou should not be desperate, and even Empress Dowager Wu had implicitly expressed opposition.

Fortunately, he was used to trusting Pei Yue these years, so even with a slight discount, he still let the two military planes rush to the border, and at the same time allowed Pei Yue to take charge of the Xifu to promote the army preparation.

Looking back now, Liu Xian couldn't help but feel a little bit surprised when he was grateful. He was deeply moved by Pei Yue's accurate prediction of the overall situation.

Liu Gongchuo, the commander-in-chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, is briefly describing the military situation.

"...On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Qingbai, the great general of the Western Wu Township, led his troops out of Queshou City. On the [-]th, the vanguard, Mr. Wan Fu, led an army to surround our Chaobaicao village. Qi Xin, the commander of the Dingxi battalion, sent cavalry to help. After the first wave of the opponent's offensive, in order to avoid being entangled by the enemy cavalry, they retreated to the camp. At present, we don't know the follow-up battle on the southern front."

"On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, General Xie Lin of the Western Wu Town led [-] cavalry to march east along the Beishao River. After passing through Guyuan Village, they approached the defense line of the Longbow camp."

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Xuanwu of the Western Wu Dynasty led Anyang Dragon Riders out of Beijing. General Zhou Dewei, the Great General of Zhenbei, accompanied him. The enemy army was marching towards Hucheng."

"The temporary commander of the Western Army led by Gu Liang of the Zuo Army, immediately issued a military order, strictly ordering the frontier troops to stick to the defense line and not to go out lightly. When the Western Wu army all came out, Gu Junji had already arrived in Xingyang City, Lingzhou, and was in Lingzhou. With the cooperation of Tang Youzhi, the Commander's Mansion will be formed to command the entire Western Army to fight together."

"Gu Junji stated in the emergency report that Lingzhou's own reserves can cope with the early stage of the war, and at the same time, it will recruit soldiers locally. However, the imperial court needs to send elite reinforcements as soon as possible, and the military equipment and food must be raised in time."

Liu Gongchuo put away the memorial and said to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, the capital is more than two thousand miles away from the western border, and there is no delay in sending reinforcements, otherwise the opportunity of the war may be delayed."

All the ministers nodded.

The total number of soldiers of the Western Army is 25, which is usually enough to deal with the harassment of the army along the West Wu Road, and can also guarantee the safety of the border thousands of miles away.But this time, Western Wu used all of his wealth. Although the number of millions was just a bluff, with more than [-] regular soldiers including [-] cavalry, the Liangxi Army will bear unimaginable pressure.

Even if the imperial court sends reinforcements immediately, it will take some time on the road.

Liu Xian immediately looked at Pei Yue, and so did the important officials in the palace.

The northern battalion of the Beijing army is strong and strong, and Pei Yue has been invincible in recent years, and the current head coach of the Western Army is Gu Liang, there seems to be no doubt about the ownership of the reinforcements.

In the silence, Pei Yue said calmly, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Liu's opinion."

Liu Xian then asked: "According to Duke Wei's opinion, which battalion of the Beijing Army should be sent to the west to support the frontier army?"

Pei Yue looked up at the young emperor, and said calmly: "In my humble opinion, we can send the Marquis of Nan'an to lead the Beijing Army's West Camp, and the Puding Marquis to lead the Beijing Army's South Camp to go west at the same time."

As if a spark fell into the oil pan, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.

These important ministers were like mirrors in their hearts. The first emperor induced Wang Pingzhang to rebel, and took advantage of the situation to transfer a part of the Longbow Army and Changping Army to the capital. The main purpose was to check and balance the northern camp led by Pei Yue.Nan'anhou Suwu and Pudinghou Chenhuan are loyal, coupled with the existence of the Jingdu garrison and the forbidden army, Pei Yue will not feel disobedient even though his power is growing day by day.

The situation in the western region is dangerous now, Pei Yue doesn't take the initiative to seek war as before, but wants to take advantage of the situation to transfer the western camp and the southern camp away from the capital. What exactly does he want to do?
Hou Suwu of Nan'an looked at the two rulers, his eyes were full of worry.

Luo Ting and Han Gongduan looked at each other, but did not object immediately.

Minister of the Ministry of War Chen Kuan thought for a moment, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has made outstanding achievements in the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Northern Camp are unparalleled in courage and morale. I recommend Duke Wei to be the deputy commander of the Western Army. The left army plane is facing the enemy Wu's army!"

This proposal was reasonable and immediately won the approval of some courtiers.

Liu Xian stared fixedly at Pei Yue, his eyes still calm, and asked, "Can Duke Wei explain in more detail?"

Chen Kuan's face was suffocated, and he neither advanced nor retreated, quite embarrassed.

It's just that everyone didn't have time to take care of his predicament at the moment, and they all looked at the young Duke with an increasingly dignified bearing.

Pei Yue met the gaze of the young emperor, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the defense line in the western border is too long, and a battalion of Beijing troops is not enough to help the overall situation. This time, Xiwu emptyed his family to go into battle, and it is obvious that the people behind the scenes are not only Hucheng." Therefore, the north and south fronts are the top priority. I suggest that the Beijing Army West Camp assist the southern Dingxi Camp, and the Beijing Army South Camp assist the Northern Longbow Camp.”

He paused for a moment, and raised his tone a little: "After I learned about the war in the western region, I sent people to the wasteland at night, and ordered the Zangfengwei to rush along the northern boundary to Lingzhou at full speed, and hand it over to the command of the left military plane."

There was a solemn silence in the hall.

Liu Xian was relieved.

In fact, when Pei Yue said that proposal, he was also a little surprised, after all, this is not Pei Yue's style.

Pei Yue looked around at the people in the hall, and continued: "As for the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army, Wu Dingwei had rotated with the Southern Army's Pinghu Guard last fall, and the Tai'an Guard and Pinghu Guard will also be reorganizing their troops to go south. My lords, maybe you still have a little bit of luck , I think this national war is just a dispute between Liang and Wu, but I hope you can understand that the enemy in the south will not miss the opportunity, and Daliang will face the biggest crisis since the founding of the country."

"At this time, if anyone still hides his intentions and hopes to stir up the situation, even if His Majesty is benevolent and does not commit crimes, the Duke of the country must sacrifice your head to the flag first!"

The sound was like thunder, bursting into everyone's ears.

Liu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "According to what Duke Wei said, the West Mansion will immediately prepare for the army's expedition, and the East Mansion will make logistical preparations."

Looking back, Pei Yue saw only the word trust in the young emperor's eyes.

He stopped talking and bowed.
