Chapter 827
If Cangzhou's army wants to attack Yunzhao, they need to cross the three hundred miles south of Cangzhou.It is very difficult to cross the swamp without the guidance of someone familiar with the way.

However, these were not problems at all for the Tianhua Army.The tens of thousands of Yunzhao troops captured in Fengzhou had already revealed the passage of Daze under the pressure of the shadow guards.

After months of investigation by the shadow guard, he has already figured out the path from Daze to Yunzhao.

However, although the passage has been cleared, it is still not easy for a hundred thousand troops to move southward with miasma and poisonous insects in the great swamp.

After the research of Gewuyuan, it has been determined that the miasma is the gas emitted by the rotting trees in the swamp.At the same time, the reason why miasma is contagious is not through breathing, but through mosquitoes and parasites.Or it is caused by drinking unboiled water and personal unhygienic habits.

Therefore, before this expedition, there were hundreds of doctors accompanying them, and they were equipped with a large amount of medicine.This reassured the soldiers who were a little apprehensive about the Southern Expedition.

At the same time, throughout the entire army, strict personal hygiene measures and various preventive measures must be taken to reduce or even eliminate a single person infected with miasma.

In mid-March, a [-]-strong army set off in a mighty manner, and finally entered the Great Lake.

The news quickly spread to the capital of Yunzhao Kingdom. Facing the attack from both sides of Tianhua Kingdom, the Lord Yunzhao finally became ruthless.

Although he deliberately chose to surrender in exchange for peace.But he can also sit back and watch the Tianhua army invade the door and act recklessly in Yunzhao's country.

The only way out now is to fight and talk at the same time. Only by repelling or even defeating the Tianhua army who invaded the country can they be qualified to negotiate with Tianhua, and finally force Tianhua to withdraw from the south in despair like the previous Central Plains dynasties.

Therefore, the Lord Yunzhao immediately ordered to recruit one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and went north to stop the Tianhua army that was going south.

Compared to the south where the terrain is flat and full of rivers, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, while the north is now densely covered with mountains and forests, the roads are winding, and there are three hundred miles of swamps blocking it. It is not easy for the Tianhua army to attack Yunzhao from now on.

Therefore, Lord Yunzhao only sent [-] soldiers and horses, thinking that he could trap the Tianhua Army.As long as it is delayed, the Tianhua army will be crushed by the harsh environment, and will eventually have to retreat to Cangzhou.

At the same time, Lord Yunzhao also sent envoys to the other three countries in the south, hoping to unite with them to deal with Tianhua.

Although the other three countries had become Tianhua's vassal states, they did not really submit to Tianhua wholeheartedly.If Tianhua is allowed to destroy Yunzhao, Tianhua's power will go deep into the southern land.They have to worry, if Yunzhao is destroyed, who will Tianhua's next target be?

When the army conquered Yunzhao, Lin Yifan was facing double pressure from the officials and the harem in Huayuan City thousands of miles away.

It turns out that Prince Lin Gan is exactly 16 years old this year.According to the law, from the age of 16, all Tianhua boys must perform military service.Of course, this military service is not really serving as a soldier, but participating in militia training for half a year.

It stands to reason that participating in militia training is not dangerous and can exercise the body.Although as a prince, committing himself to decentralization is an insult to the state.But Baiguan is not a pedantic person, so naturally he will not be too opposed.

But Lin Yifan hoped that the prince could stay away from the capital and go to the border areas to participate in militia training.In this way, the prince can sharpen his mind and broaden his horizons.

It was precisely because of this move that it immediately aroused the opposition of everyone.It's fine if you take part in training near Gyeonggi, but sending the current prince directly to the border area, isn't that the same as exile?

What's more, the border area is not yet stable, and no one knows when a war will break out. Isn't this putting the prince of the country in danger?

The ministers have endured the frequent outrageous actions of His Majesty for a long time. As long as the interests of the country are not involved, they can only choose to remain silent.

But this matter concerns the country, the ministers immediately rejected Lin Yifan's request unceremoniously, insisting that they would not let the crown prince stay away from the capital.To join the army, you can only participate in training near Gyeonggi.

For the reaction of the officials, Lin Yifan naturally had expected it, and had a countermeasure for it.But the opposition from the harem gave him a headache.

Luo Qing'er originally agreed with his son's military service.After all, she was born in the general family, so she naturally hoped that her son would also have the demeanor of a general.

But if her son was sent to serve thousands of miles away, her expression would immediately change.As the saying goes, the mother is worried when a child travels thousands of miles, let alone a border thousands of miles away?

Fortunately, in this matter, there are two people who support themselves.One is Luo Yi, the father-in-law. He thinks that the prince's experience in the local area is beneficial and harmless.Only by knowing more about the border affairs and experiencing the hardships of the soldiers stationed on the border can we know the difficulty of defending the country.

And the other one is the prince himself. Although Lin Gan grew up in the deep palace, from childhood to adulthood, he has been accompanied by Tianhua's continuous expansion, and the atmosphere of martial arts has become a common practice in Tianhua.

As a child, he listened to the story of his father's battles in all directions and the creation of the largest empire so far. When he grew up, Lin Gan longed for a life of galloping on horseback, bending his bow and shooting eagles.It was only when he grew up that he gradually understood his identity, and realized that his life might have nothing to do with soldiers and horses.

But with his father's decision, he finally saw hope.Despite the opposition of the ministers, he still stood firmly by his father's side.

With the support of his father-in-law and son, Lin Yifan has enough confidence.So, one night, he called a meeting of the whole family, including Luo Yi, his wife and Lin Shuwan.

During the meeting, Lin Yifan asked everyone, especially Luo Qinger, to do ideological work.Tell everyone about the purpose of this arrangement.

"Qing'er, I know that you are reluctant to let Qian'er go to such a far place. It may be a year's time to see each other once you go." Lin Yifan said in a deep voice, "The reason why I let Gan'er go so far is to let him go. Go to more places, take a walk, take a look, and understand the customs and customs of various places in Tianhua. As the prince, Gan'er will be able to go to very few places in the future. As the prince, if you don't even know your own country , how will you take on the big responsibility in the future?"

"But, you don't need to go to the border?" Luo Qing'er held back tears and said angrily, "If the capital is not good, then you can send Qian'er to the states in the Central Plains. Is it necessary to send him to such a dangerous place on the border?"

"Now that I, Tianhua, are powerful and powerful, and the Tianhua army is in full swing, who would dare to disturb Tianhua?" Lin Yifan patiently explained, "I won't be in any danger if I go here, but at most I will suffer. Er has been living in the palace all year round and has studied for ten years, so it is time for him to go out alone and see the world."

"That's right, queen mother, what the father said is reasonable, so you can let the son go out." Lin Gan immediately agreed, his eyes full of expectation.

Luo Qing'er stared, feeling annoyed in her heart, don't you feel the slightest bit of hard work for your mother?
Lin Gan was stared at by his mother, and immediately retracted his neck embarrassingly, looking at his grandfather pitifully.On the court, only Luo Yi could hold Luo Qing'er down.
