Chapter 1023: Boost Morale
At night.
"Xianggong, there are only 10,000 cavalry in the city, do you really plan to bring only such a few people to rescue Beishi Bali City?"
Li Yuntian was flipping through the Western Regions battle report collected by Lu Minen in the wing room, Nuo Min was pacing back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, and finally she couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart anymore, and walked up to Li Yuntian's side and asked curiously.
Among the 30,000 troops of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi battalion, 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, the vast area of Guanxi is more suitable for cavalry combat, so Li Yuntian focused on the training of cavalry in Guanxi and invested a huge amount of money, which also made the Xiaowu Army Guanxi cavalry have very strong combat effectiveness.
"Qinglong City is thousands of miles away from Don't Lose Bali City, Xiang Gong is going to save people this time, the emphasis is on being fast and fast, bringing too many people will not only slow down the itinerary but also easily expose the target."
Li Yuntian knew that Nuo Min was worried about himself, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Nuo Min into his arms, and said with a smile, "When the war in the Western Regions is over, we should also have a round house, I know that E-Niang wants to hug her grandson." ”
Nuo Min never expected Li Yuntian to mention this matter, although she had a bold personality, her face turned red when she heard this, and a shy look appeared on her cheeks.
"This battle has to be fought, with the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army, the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Kansai is already precarious."
Seeing Nuo Min's face blushing, Li Yuntian smiled and took her in his arms, then sighed and said, "The forces of Qinglong City and Jiayuguan alone can't stop the attack of Western Chagatai and Northern Yuan in any way, we must need the assistance of Eastern Chagatai and Guanxi Qiwei, the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army has put some people in Eastern Chagatai and Guanxi Qiwei in a wait-and-see posture, and Xianggong must use a big victory to tell them that the Western Regions are the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"Xianggong, since you are going to Don't Lose Bali City, are you sure in your heart?"
Only then did Nuo Min understand that the reason why Li Yuntian wanted to go to the rescue of Beishi Bali City in person was to stabilize the military and people's hearts in Guanxi and even the Western Regions, so that the people of the Seven Guards of Kanxi and the Western Regions would not rashly take refuge in the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, thinking that Li Yuntian had always acted in a plan and then moved, so he flashed his eyes and looked at Li Yuntian curiously and asked.
"Surprise and unpreparedness, the Northern Yuan Army would never have thought that the Xiang Guild would cross the Gobi to go to Beishi Bali City, as long as Xiang Gong arrived at Beishi Bali City, it would be easy to say." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, "Xianggong has fought with the Northern Yuan army and knows their tactics very well, so he can find a way to deal with them. ”
"Besides, after the last war, the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were afraid of Xianggong, as long as Xianggong appeared in Beshu Bali City, they would not dare to act rashly, and then they would give Xianggong a chance to evacuate."
Saying that, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, last time he beat the Northern Yuan army in Liaodong and Beizhili to the point of losing his armor, and in recent years, he didn't dare to go south to Monan, presumably he was already very afraid of him in his heart, so this time he could use the psychology of the Northern Yuan army to defeat the enemy.
"Lord Wang, your wine is here." At this moment, a voice sounded at the door, and Lin Xin walked in with a tray, in which was a wine jug and a crystal clear jade wine glass.
Seeing Li Yuntian sitting on Nuo Min's lap, Lin Xin's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and put the wine jug and jade cup on the tray on the table next to Li Yuntian, and then walked away quickly with an embarrassed expression.
"Xianggong, this is the wine made by the military households of the Kansai Battalion?" Nuo Min didn't feel anything and still sat on Li Yuntian's lap, she picked up the wine jug with some curiosity and poured a glass into the jade cup, looking at the crystal clear burgundy liquid in the wine glass and asked.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately, drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, and a few people will come back to fight in ancient times." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, picked up the jade cup and drank all the wine inside, and then tasted the mellow taste and groaned slowly.
"I know that this poem is "Liangzhou Ci" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han!" In addition to military knowledge, Nuo Min also learned the poetry of the Ming Dynasty in the lecture hall, and knew the Tang and Song poems very well, and immediately pointed out the source of the poems recited by Li Yuntian when he heard the words.
"Only grapes from the Western Regions can make such sweet and mellow wines." Li Yuntian smiled and poured a cup and handed it to Nuo Min, "Taste it, the taste is absolutely unique." ”
"Xianggong, this wine is so strange, it is not strong and has the mellow aroma of wine." Nuo Min first took a small sip, then his eyes lit up, and he drank the wine in the wine glass, and then looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, it was the first time she had drunk such a unique taste.
"This kind of wine is suitable for all ages, and it is definitely popular if it is transported to the capital or Jiangnan." A smug look flashed on Li Yuntian's face, the Western Regions have plenty of sunshine, and the water and soil are particularly suitable for the cultivation of wine grapes, although grapes are not valuable in the Western Regions, but after being systematically brewed and become delicious wines, their value will double, and he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to make money.
The military households of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi Battalion have established many farms under the plan, some of which are specialized in growing grapes, and after two years of wine energy production, they will be ready to be shipped to the inland of Daming for sale, which will definitely make huge profits.
"Xianggong, you said Narsa was okay." Nuo Min couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she found that Li Yuntian's business acumen was as powerful as his military attainments, as if she could find business opportunities anywhere, and then she thought of something and couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian worriedly.
Perhaps because of their bold and cheerful personalities, Nomin and Narsa are very close, but now that Narsa has no news, her life and death are unknown, so Nomin is naturally worried about her.
"Narsa should be with the concubine of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, as long as she can defend Bali City, it's fine." Li Yuntian knew that Nuo Min and Narsha had a good relationship, so he smiled and comforted, "Don't lose that Bali City has 50,000 troops, which is equivalent to the enemy army that has been surrounded, and she will be fine in a short time." ”
"Xianggong, Narsa is so affectionate, knowing that it is dangerous to return to China, she still has to go back without hesitation." Nuo Min leaned her head on Li Yuntian's shoulder and said faintly, "When this matter is over, she can be regarded as repaying the concubine's kindness, and she can stay in Daming with peace of mind in the future." ”
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Li Yuntian reached out and stroked the hair on Nuo Min's head, comforting her softly, and couldn't help but see the scene of Narsha dancing the Western Regions with enthusiasm in front of her.
In fact, Li Yuntian's personal trip to Bali City this time also had the factor of Narsa, although he didn't get along with Narsa for a long time, but Narsa was his woman after all, and he naturally wanted to rescue Narsa from the hands of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
Early the next morning, the colonel's field in the south of the city camp of Qinglong City was full of cavalry on horseback, although there were many people, the scene was silent, and even the sound of the horses was rarely heard, which showed that the military discipline of the cavalry unit was straightforward.
These cavalrymen are all wearing the uniforms of the Xiaowu Army, which is the cavalry unit of the Xiaowu Army's Kansai Battalion, which can be described as the most elite force of the Kansai Battalion.
At this moment, each knight's eyes showed an eager look, just last night they learned the shocking news that the dignified King Zhongwu had actually arrived in Qinglong City.
For the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Guanxi battalion have long heard a lot of rumors related to it, not only single-handedly founded the martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army, but also in the past ten years, invincible, is a young prince with military talent and outstanding literary talents.
Except for the former Xiaowu Army soldiers in the Guanxi camp who followed Lu Minen to Guanxi, the soldiers in the Guanxi camp have never seen Li Yuntian, and now they all want to see Li Yuntian's demeanor.
"Soldiers, presumably some of you already know about the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army in Blue Leaf City, and now the situation in Kansai is extremely critical, this king has decided to lead you to Beishi Bali City to rescue the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army and the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate trapped there."
Soon, Li Yuntian rode a horse to the Daxiao field surrounded by Lu Minen and Xue Wuqing, and came to the big school field surrounded by important generals of the Ming army in Qinglong City, and rode up to the high platform in front of the cavalry queue. ”
"This king knows that you will be worried about your wives and children at home, and to be honest, this king is also worried about them, but the meaning of the word 'country' is already obvious, the reason why 'country' is ranked in front of 'home' is because there is a 'country' before there is a 'home', if even the 'country' is gone, how to talk about 'home'?"
As he spoke, Li Yuntian changed his words and said earnestly, "In this battle of the Western Regions, we are not only for the battle of Daminger, but also for my own family, once the enemy army breaks through the defense of our army in Kansai, then there will be no peaceful life in Kansai from now on." ”
"Soldiers, are you willing to follow this king to Don't lose Bali City, this king is willing to live and die with you and create glory together!" Immediately, Li Yuntian raised his right fist and shouted to the cavalry at the scene with confidence.
"Live and die together, create brilliance together! Live and die together, create brilliance together......" The emotions of the cavalry were immediately infected by Li Yuntian's impassioned words.
To tell the truth, even Li Yuntian, who is the prince of Daming, has given up life and death, so what do they have to be nostalgic and afraid of, it's a big deal to die on the battlefield with Li Yuntian, so that they can also go down in history, so they raised their right fists and shouted in unison rhythmically, and the sound was overwhelming, which was refreshing.
Looking at the emotional cavalry in front of him, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a smile of relief, the reason why he wanted to go to Bali City in person actually had another important reason, that is, he could boost the morale of the soldiers more than Lu Minen and Xue Wu and others, the Ming army is now at a disadvantage, so it is very important to maintain a high morale.
