Luo Xin smiled as he looked at the walls of Shanhaiguan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After eight days of trekking, he finally arrived at his destination, and as the commander of the First Army of the Shenji Army, he was ordered to lead his three divisions to Shanhaiguan to rendezvous.

Ordered the army to enter the city, Luo Xin took his personal guards to the city of Shanhaiguan first, and at this time, Lu Fei, who got the news, was already at the door.

Seeing Luo Xin, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Luo Xin, why is your army dragging its feet like a girl, and it has only arrived now." ”

"Fuck you, the dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth." Luo Xin scolded directly, although the two are noisy on weekdays, they are very close.

Because they belong to different legions, the two hardly see each other now.

Lu Fei was scolded not only did not get angry but laughed, he said to Lei Ming: "Look at it, this is still a scholar who has drunk ink for ten years, and I think it is no different from us rough people." ”

Lei Ming smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Zhu are red, and this is not the credit of Commander Lu." “

Lu Fei's eyes widened, and he raised his foot to Lei Ming's buttocks, "Okay, now that your wings are hard, you dare to bury me." “

Luo Xin dismounted, snorted and said, "You can bully Lei Ming now, but people are also military commanders now, so it's not right for you to do this." ”

Lei Ming said with a grin: "The two military commanders are still arguing at the wine table, it's noon, and it's time to eat." ”

Luo Xin's stomach "growled" twice at the right time, Lu Fei laughed when he saw this, and pulled Luo Xin to go to the Shanhaiguan camp for dinner.

When they arrived at the barracks, the three of them drank a few glasses, but they didn't drink too much, and then Luo Xin said; "This Northern Expedition is really happy, and the emperor's ambition is something that the previous emperors did not have."

"Needless to say, when I followed the emperor, I saw that the King of Qi back then was definitely not a thing in the pool." Lu Fei was triumphant.

Compared with Luo Xin and Lu Fei's ease, Lei Ming had a serious look, because he was in Shanhaiguan and fought against the barbarians all year round, he knew very well that this war would not be so easy.

After eating a mouthful of food, Lei Ming said: "The two army commanders have arrived at Shanhaiguan before and after, and I haven't had time to tell us about the current situation in Pingzhou City. ”

Luo Xin glanced at Lu Fei, and then realized that this guy was just one step earlier.

He said: "You are more familiar with Guanwai than we are, tell me about the current enemy situation." ”

Lu Fei also put away his uninhibited look at this time, and his face was serious.

After a deep groan, Lei Ming said: "The two generals must also know the terrain outside the pass, compared to the plains, hills, mountains and rivers outside the pass, the land outside the pass can really be described as a flat river, it can be said that at a glance there are grasslands, and even woods are rarely seen, such a place is very suitable for large-scale cavalry combat, and this is where the advantage of the barbarians lies, and according to the skirmishes between the chasers and the barbarian scouts in recent years, our cavalry may not have an advantage." “

Luo Xin nodded, in fact, they were not carried away by the victory, there are actually many reasons why they have won victories over the years.

When they were in Jizhou, it was because Bei Shan was wounded by artillery, and other victories were based on the defense of the city, and even the recent battle of Bashu was because the barbarian cavalry scattered and plundered to give them a chance to destroy.

But this time it is different, this is a regular war between the two countries, and both sides will concentrate on this war.

Lu Fei said: "So this time we can't waste precious cavalry to fight the barbarians head-on, that will only exhaust our limited cavalry, although Qi Guangyi pursued the remnants of the cavalry last time and finally won, but also lost more than 3,000 people, this is still in the barbarian cavalry people are sleepy and lack of horses." “

Luo Xin thought so, he said: "You are right, our advantage is artillery and muskets, and cavalry is our shortcoming, so the limited cavalry can only be used to pursue the rout and use it for consumption, I thought that this march should go along the sea, and the first step is to build a Wubao twenty miles outside the Shanhai Pass, so that even if the grain route on land is cut off, we can get supplies from the sea." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Pingzhou City is only a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan, this distance is not close or far, and only four Wubao needs to be established to ensure the grain and grass we need when we fight in Pingzhou. ”

"I think so too, Huajue Island is between Pingzhou City and Jinzhou, and there is a lot of food stored on the island, which can provide us with supplies, but it's a pity that the two divisions on this island need to attack Liaozhou directly with Ye Qingyun, so they can't be used by me." Lei Ming said.

The three of them all received orders from the Military Aircraft Department, and they all knew their respective plans, Lu Fei said: "It's not a pity, isn't Qi Guangyi already on the island?" According to the order, his task was to feint Jinzhou and bring his cavalry to disturb the rear of the barbarians, and now it was the time for the barbarians to plough in spring, and even if they could not win this battle this year, they would drive the barbarians crazy in winter. “

"That's right, the emperor probably saw this point and will carry out the Northern Expedition in the spring ploughing season, this barbarian tribe now relies on the grain cultivated by the people of the six cities to alleviate the famine, and at this time the spring ploughing is destroyed, and many people will starve to death this winter." Luo Xin also laughed.

"In that case, when are the two commanders going to leave?" Thunder's eyes flashed with excitement.

Lu Fei pondered for a moment, "This still has to wait for the appointment of the Military Aircraft Department, and we will always need a corps commander for the three armies to gather." ”

Luo Xin and Lei Ming nodded, they still needed to make pre-war preparations before they were appointed, including the issue of the interconnection between the three armies.

Seven days later, along with a large number of chariots entering Shanhaiguan, orders from the Military Aircraft Department also arrived at Shanhaiguan.

To the surprise of the three of them, the commander of the legion this time was not any of the three, but Niu Ben who arrived from Qingzhou.

Also coming at the same time was Xiao Ming.

"Ministers and others see the emperor!"

When the generals of Shanhaiguan got the news, they all went to the city gate to greet the holy driver.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!"

Xiao Ming rode on a horse, dressed in military uniform, and after mobilizing the army to assemble at Shanhaiguan, he rushed to Shanhaiguan with some personnel from the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Department.

This trip to the north is a major event of the country, and the reason why he decided to go on a personal expedition is to boost morale.

At the same time, the symbol of any strong emperor is to stand up for military merits, and he has been enjoying peace in Qingzhou City, and it is difficult to establish prestige in the army.

Moreover, this war is extremely important, and there may be various unexpected situations in the war, and at this time, Lu Fei and others may ask Qingzhou for their lives.

This would have caused problems for the war with long messaging, but he's different here, and he's always ready to adapt to the situation.
