Chapter 233: Zhenjiang Camp
Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Hua Yue from afar, and saw that Hua Yue's expression revealed a kind of confidence from the heart, so he laughed, reached over and slapped the mouth-swallowing beast on Hua Yue's shoulder and said: Don't worry, Brother Hua, the Shenwei cannon I have hidden is also for you, and sooner or later one day it will make Brother Hua have a good time! It's just that Brother Hua, don't worry! I'll make it appear when it's time to use it!
Hua Yue thought about what Gao Huaiyuan said also made sense, and now dealing with Li Quan, it was indeed a little difficult to bombard them with Shenwei cannons, it was too easy to play the role of training, so he nodded and agreed with Gao Huaiyuan's opinion, and rode his horse to leave Gao Huaiyuan and go to the team to inspect the Wusheng camp under his command.

And at this time, seeing that there was no one left and right, Qiu Tong lifted the reins of the horse, came to Gao Huaiyuan, and asked in a low voice: What are you talking about, what is the Shenwei cannon? How come I haven't heard of it?
Gao Huaiyuan turned his head to look at the face of Qiu Tong, who was darkened, and felt a little funny, so he replied: There are many things you don't know in this world! Since you want to go to the front of the battle to see and see, you will naturally know when the time comes! With that, a dozen horses immediately rushed forward.
Seeing that Gao Huaiyuan refused to answer her question, Qiu Tong pursed his lips angrily and muttered: What are you angry? We'll see, we'll see! After that, he also beat his horse and followed.
Li Ruohu followed Qiu Tong far away, unsatisfactory, since Gao Huaiyuan, the little junior sister, arrived in the army, his follower could only follow from afar, Qiu Tong completely turned him aside, making him depressed to death, but he also had no way to take Qiu Tong, he couldn't beat him, not to mention that he couldn't beat others, and he didn't dare to scold, he was really aggrieved as the commander of the guards.
After receiving the edict from the capital a few years ago, the Zhenjiang Mansion battalion immediately went all out to prepare for war, and both the infantry army and the navy army strengthened their drills, ready to accompany the new privy envoy to conquer Jingdong Li Quan at any time.
During this period of time, the Huaidong garrison army can be said to have been holding a breath of Li Quan, thinking that when the Northern Expedition of Kaixi was opened, the Zhenjiang garrison army also participated in the Northern Expedition, it can be said that it was outstanding in the Nine Road Army, and their control was the famous general Bi Zaiyu of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, although Bi Zaiyu was old, but he was brave enough to crown the three armies, and his army was very strict, so the army under his command would be as imposing as a tiger, and it would go against the tide among tens of thousands of defeated troops, and the Jin army was terrified.
Although the Kaixi Northern Expedition ended in the Southern Song Dynasty fiasco, but it achieved Bi Zaiyu's fame, but unfortunately such a famous general has already grown old, after the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, Bi Zaiyu died in office in Jiading ten years full of grief and indignation, and a generation of generals fell.
However, the Zhenjiang garrison army was under the command of Bi Zaiyu, so its combat strength was the most powerful among the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is also the reason why Li Quan has been wanting to go south for the past two years but is not very daring to do it.
The Zhenjiang Prefecture garrison army played a particularly important role in guarding the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Gao Huaiyuan personally ordered the Zhenjiang Prefecture garrison army to go to war with the army this time, and he also saw this, so he ordered them to prepare for war.
After the garrison army learned that it would go north to crusade against Li Quan, the whole army was very excited, and the soldiers were engaged in high-intensity drills years ago, and Luo Zhuo, the leader of the general, was even more gearing up to wait for the arrival of the Beijing army after the year, and then went out with the army.
Speaking of this Luo Zhuo, he was a young general under Bi Zaiyu's command back then, twenty years ago he was just a young soldier, because he accompanied Bi Zaiyu to fight bravely, he was appreciated by Bi Zaiyu, and was gradually promoted, when Bi Zai died, Luo Zhuo had been the deputy general of the Zhenjiang Mansion garrison army because of his merits, and over the years, he was gradually promoted to the commander of the Zhenjiang Mansion garrison army and became the general of the town guard.
When Luo Zhuo heard the news that the army of the Beijing Division had arrived twenty miles south of Zhenjiang Mansion, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the troops out to greet him, and he greeted Gao Huaiyuan and his party for the first time.
Originally, Luo Zhuo was a little despised by the old soldiers who guarded the Beijing Division, in the early years he entered Beijing on business, and had seen the military appearance of the front division of the palace and the infantry division, for a perennial leader like him, after seeing the situation of the soldiers of the front division of the palace and the infantry division, he was quite contemptuous in his heart, the garrison of Zhenjiang Mansion was much stricter than the mainland garrison because of the perennial defense of Jin Guonan, this time he heard that Gao Huaiyuan, a young nobleman who was newly promoted in Beijing today, was going to lead the troops to go out, And the soldiers and horses led by him were the soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace and the infantry division, so Luo Zhuo was quite unimpressed, feeling that the garrison of the capital was unusable, and he really had to rely on the army of Zhenjiang Mansion under his command.
But when he met the Jingshi army that was walking towards Zhenjiang Mansion from a distance, he looked at it closely, and couldn't help but let him not believe his eyes, the army that appeared in his field of vision, the marching army was in strict shape, and the army was neatly organized, although it had been through a long day of marching, but the team maintained a very neat formation, and from a distance, the black pressure was quite imposing.
This made Luo Zhuo very surprised, and he said that he hadn't seen it for a few years, how could these old soldiers in the capital seem to have changed their appearance? But surprised to be surprised, he didn't dare to hold it up, after all, this time the leader of the troops came to the privy envoy of the current imperial court, the level surpassed his command several levels, if he offended this surname Gao, his command would be considered to be the end, so he quickly dismounted, led his generals, deputy generals, partial generals and other subordinates, lined up on both sides of the road, just waiting for the arrival of Gao Huaiyuan and his party.
Gao Huaiyuan knew that after arriving at Zhenjiang Mansion soon, he walked to the front of the team with the generals, and saw the team that greeted him from a distance, so he quickened his pace and soon came to Luo Zhuo and other officials.
Things like this, as local officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture, naturally do not dare to slack off, not to mention that these local officials are very concerned about the direction of the wind in the DPRK, especially after this military admonition, Shi Miyuan and his party have fallen one after another, it can be said that they are all because of this Gao Huaiyuan at the moment, so they dare not slack off, and follow Luo Zhuo out of the city to greet them, when they saw a team of generals with bright armor riding horses not far from them, from the armor style and helmets, cloaks and the arch guards of the people, They saw that the tall and majestic young general who walked in the front must be Gao Huaiyuan, who was now hot in the Southern Song Dynasty, so they didn't dare to hold it up, and a group of officials hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
Gao Huaiyuan didn't like this kind of pomp, but he couldn't be too big, so as not to offend these civil officials, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and immediately stepped forward with the accompanying generals to return the salute, and invited these officials to up.
When it was Luo Zhuo's turn and Gao Huaiyuan's turn to see the ceremony, both of them couldn't help but look at each other first, in Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, Luo Zhuo was roughly in his forties, and he was in the prime of life when he was relatively strong and energetic, his stature was not high, but he looked very strong, his hands were clenched into fists, and his finger bones were thick, and he was covered with calluses. It can be regarded as a relatively qualified general, and if you think about the reputation of the Zhenjiang Mansion garrison army that you have heard over the years, you will know that this person is also a tiger general among the Song generals.
In Luo Zhuo's eyes, Gao Huaiyuan is a majestic general, although Gao Huaiyuan has a kind smile on his face since he got off the horse, but it gave him a feeling of not being angry and self-righteous, from Gao Huaiyuan's gestures, it can be seen that he is a standard soldier, and he is also the kind of general who restricts himself very strictly, and he has a kind of contagion, which seems to be half innate, so that people dare not despise him, Luo Zhuo himself is a practitioner of long boxing, and he is a tiger and tiger who fights with a long fist, rare opponents in the army, known as being able to give birth to cracked tigers and leopards, but when he looked at Gao Huaiyuan, he had a feeling of powerlessness, he always thought that he was very strong, but after looking at Gao Huaiyuan's figure, it made him feel a little inferior.
Humble Luo Zhuo, see Lord Taiwei! As soon as Luo Zhuo saw Gao Huaiyuan walking in front of him, he hurriedly intervened to give a salute and politely called Gao Huaiyuan Lord Taiwei.
General Luo should not be polite, no courtesy! Gao has already heard that General Luo is the tiger general of Zhenjiang, and he has the nickname of Suojiang Shihu. Gao Huaiyuan didn't hold the shelf of his boss in front of Luo Zhuo, and immediately hugged Luo Zhuo, and smiled at Luo Zhuo with a pleasant face.
This sentence made Luo Zhuo very comfortable to hear, originally he thought that Gao Huaiyuan was the first celebrity under the emperor, and he should be a guy with eyes above the top, but he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to be so unscrupulous, which made him less worried, so he hurriedly said modestly: Gao Taiwei is too polite, Xia Guan is just a reckless man, this nickname is not worthy of the name, everyone is touting Xia Guan! Captain Gao must not be taken seriously! It's just the prestige of the high captain, but we have already been like thunder, today can have the honor to follow the captain, is our luck, after the official year after the order, he has been ready to go to the expedition, a total of 20,000 soldiers were selected from the Zhenjiang Mansion garrison army, the front army, the Chinese army, the Youyi army, and the four armies of the navy, led by the lower official himself, ready to go with the Gao people!
Gao Huaiyuan's intelligence system had already fed back the preparations of Zhenjiang Mansion to him, so he had already learned about the preparations of Zhenjiang Mansion in detail, and he was still more at ease with Luo Zhuo's preparations, so he greatly praised Luo Zhuo a few words, and then introduced everyone to other generals who went with him this time.
