My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 167 The war has begun, heading south!
Pei Min led the people away, and Dian Wei closed the door.

The letter lay quietly on the desk. Su Chen leaned back on the chair and frowned slightly. Su Ting was the child of a cousin of his father, and he was also Su Chen's cousin.

In the past, Wen Wen was weak and like an eagle and a dog.

Later, the Su family was confiscated by the imperial court, and they were naturally affected. Their property was confiscated and they were kicked out of the Su family.After Su Chen launched his army, all the relatives of the Su family came back to help Su Chen with some things in the back.

Su Ting was one of them. Until he ate the gift sent by the imperial envoy and asked Su Ting to go to Wei State to start selling, this cousin seemed to turn on a switch.

For many years, Guo Jiashi traveled from Ding'an to Chendu County of Wei State to buy grain, fodder, and iron for Su Chen's Northern Expedition and Ding'an City. During these days, Guo Jiashi used the business route of Su Ting to pass through the wealthy families in Chendu County. Absorbing food and grass like crazy.

Firstly, they could hoard grain for Xiahou Yuan's march south; secondly, they could covertly use these powerful families to undermine the foundation of the Wei state.

After all, in the eyes of those who have died once, gold and silver are not as valuable as empty stomachs.

When his thoughts came back, Su Chen took a piece of paper, took a pen and wrote down the order about Feiyungang, then stamped it with the king's seal, walked out of the study and handed it to the waiting clerk.

"Send to Feiyun Port, take those red-haired barbarians with you, and ask the Shipping Department there to organize four warships to wipe out those pirates."

After saying that, Su Chen took Dian Wei and Wu Zixun back to the backyard, and unexpectedly met Yang Yuhuan. She was wearing a blue pomegranate skirt, a light green gauze scarf with double breasts and wide sleeves, and a jade hairpin on her head. Just as he was looking at an old pine tree, he saw Su Chen coming over, with a slight smile on his lips, and he bowed his body slightly and bowed to Su Chen.

Since moving here, Yang Yuhuan rarely goes out. In her eyes, when facing Su Chen, she is more like an elder aunt. After all, she was only 37 when she died, rather than a thousand-year-old ancient from Su Chen's perspective.

"Your Majesty, how was yesterday?" She probably knew that Su Chen stayed at the palace yesterday. She smiled softly, came over slowly, and said softly: "I asked the maid in the backyard to make soup for you, and someone will send it to you later. The house is busy day and night, but you have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you...aunt..."

Regarding the age gap between the two, Su Chen thought it was inappropriate to call her sister before, so she had to say it out loud.Yang Yuhuan's face was full of peach blossoms after hearing this, and she covered her lips with her handkerchief, "Go back and rest quickly."

"I can't rest. I'm going to the military camp soon. When I come back, I'll have to change my armor!"

Su Chen said something and then returned to the dormitory. At this time, no royal palace or bedroom has been built. From now on, it will be just fine to live in the palace directly. There is no need to waste people and money.

Entering the room, Wu Zixun took down the Wangjia from the shelf with some difficulty. This was a pair of Shanwenjia specially made for Su Chen by more than 30 craftsmen from the Yanjing Foundry Department. It took half a month to make one.

In particular, the tight armor rings are the most complicated and require high craftsmanship. If you want to make them in large quantities, you can only wait for the craftsmen to be familiar with this kind of Tang Dynasty armor.

Su Chen took off his royal uniform and stood there for a long time. He saw Wu Zixun scratching his face and looking at a pile of mountain armor parts, not knowing where to start.

"Just let me do it."

Yang Yuhuan came in with a maid carrying a soup bowl. She chuckled and asked Wu Zixun to go outside and put on these armors one by one for Su Chen. She was a noble concubine in the Tang Dynasty and had also worn armor for Li Longji.

The animal head is draped over the shoulders...the front and back mountain armor, the breastplate, the armor belt, the arm guards, the belly protector, the falcon tail...and other armor parts are worn by Su Chen.

"Okay." Yang Yuhuan finished her work and was dripping with sweat. She pursed her lips and looked at Su Chen in front of her with a satisfied look in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to put the soup bowl in the maid's hand on the table and said, "Auntie. Resign first."

She knew how to measure, and with a blessing, she led the maid out of the room.

"Dianwei, drink it."

"Ah?" Dian Wei picked up the bowl of chicken soup and smelled it, "I'm so angry, why should I make up for it?!" But he still drank it in one go. …

Walking through Xuanyang Gate in the afternoon sunshine, a cavalry team carrying the Xia King's order jumped out of the city gate and headed south along the official road. Each of them had embroidered robes and gorgeous clothes, with swords hanging on their waists. They led the two cavalry, black robes, Wearing a white robe with extravagant embroidery, the black one is an ancient sword and bamboo hat, and the white one is a green lotus wine flask, heading south to Lingzhou.

Then he took a ferry down the river and entered Zhangzhou, then transferred to horses to Hunhe River and entered Wei State.

During this period of time, Yanjing gradually became restless. A large number of soldiers and equipment were transported into the military camp, and carts loaded with grain were already on the way.

Su Chen rode out of Xuanyang Gate and ran straight into the Youyan military camp more than 20 miles away. When he turned over and dismounted, the Youyan soldiers on patrol and on duty all knelt down and bowed their heads with their spears in hand.

"Meet King Xia!"

"Get up."

Su Chen walked past them and went straight to the Chinese army's tent. The soldiers guarding the tent on both sides opened the tent curtains. It was already filled with the generals and deputy generals of the various armies. When they saw the figures coming in, they stood up from the stool with a bang. .

"Meet King Xia!"

In the intertwined sights, Su Chen walked like a tiger and a dragon. With the sound of metal rings rubbing against each other, he took off his white fur-collared cloak and threw it to Dian Wei. He pressed his hand slightly and asked the generals to take their seats.

After entering the military camp, the usual courtesy between ancient people and modern people no longer existed.

"Generals, take your seats!"

When Su Chen Jin Dao sat down, a group of generals on both sides followed him. They were all generals who had a brilliant era, such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, Li Jue, Ma Chao...here at this moment When they gathered together, the tent was full of murderous intent.

"The strategy of going south to the Wei Kingdom has not changed, but this time it is not a full-blown war, it is just a feint attack to test!"

After the tent was quiet for a moment, Su Chen's words took on a majestic tone, and his eyes scanned the increasingly young faces.

"The grain, grass, troops and horses went first. General Guan supervised the military affairs in Fenzhou. All the troops under his command were also stationed one by one. They tried to build ferries and make adequate preparations. The same is true for Zhangzhou on the side of General Xiahou! We must not take kindly to Wei's massacre of Fenzhou. Okay, this weak reconciliation just makes people think we are easy to bully?!"

He clapped the table and pressed the table: "Who are we? Who are here? Those are the most brilliant generals in an era. We conquered the Yan Kingdom. Now, it's time for the Wei Kingdom to have a taste of your power! "

Below, the generals on both sides, except for a group of surrendered generals who were a little confused by the phrase "the most brilliant generals of an era", generals like Lu Bu and Guan Yu who were once powerful in the world, all closed their eyes and raised their faces slightly, standing tall. Straighten your back.

"The soldiers and horses will go first. The counties and counties they pass along the way will all provide some grain and fodder within their capabilities to make up for the loss of grain and grass along the way! Remember, this time it is just a powerful force. Just like last year, Wei Guo was in Hun. There are fifty thousand troops stationed on the south bank of the river!"

Su Chen slowly stood up, dragging her skirt.

"All the equipment will be sent to Fen and Zhangzhou later. Everyone, the war has started, go south!"

boom!
Rows of generals stood up and raised their fists together.

"Follow the order of King Xia!"
