Chapter 337

The wind is blowing southward, and the grass is withering.

On the day of Lu's breakthrough, Qianyuan City, the capital of the emperor, came to an end. The reason for this is that beigonghuai was a member of his father Lu Chun's generation and one of the emperor's confidants. He was not only a minister of the emperor's hidden residence, but also a loyal official to the emperor in the Dongping rebellion 20 years ago and the Yuexi rebellion last year.

Originally, Lu que had great respect for such a figure, but he had never heard that Beigong Huai was aloof and arrogant, and compared with Bai Yi, Hou of Wu'an. If they had differences in strategic layout and military array arrangement after they arrived in the south, Lu que really didn't know what to do with such a veteran and killed him? That's impossible. As for taking off his military power and leaving him in zhennanguan or expelling him back to Beijing, not to mention whether the people of Qianyang Imperial Guard agreed or not, that's why they offended the Beigong clan. Lu que also felt that he could not commit some crimes.

Lu que was reluctant to let Beigong Huai stay on the front line. When the southern army gathered, and he was in charge of more than a million troops, he thought and thought that he could not make any mistakes. How could Lu que keep a subordinate commander who could disobey the military orders at any time? That was not his help to make up for the lack of experience of the army he did not personally command, It's just blocking up. At that time, such things and such people are not limited to him and Beigong Huai. A bad one will affect the layout of the whole war situation.

On the contrary, Lu que has no such worries about the left army's guard. The leader of the left army's guard, Lei Zhang, is the nephew of Lei xuanjian, the master of duanmuye's good friend. Although Lei Zhang is more than ten years older than him, Lu would feel more comfortable with him as his deputy. What's more, Lei Zhang was carefully taught by Lei xuanjian when he was a child, and he was also the Guard commander of the left army in charge of the defense and public order of the capital for several years. His military experience and care are more suitable for him than that of Bei gonghuai. And Lu que can see that Lei Zhang inherited the tradition of the Lei family. He was just a pure commander in the army. Compared with him, Beigong Huai was much more complicated.

Lu que now has about 150000 main forces of the Changqing army, together with the total number of 36000 left army guards, a total of 190000 people. If you add in the fact that he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan, who are responsible for the migration of the twelve side counties in southern Xinjiang, and the canal water army of the Changqing army, whose main force is transferred to Danshui line, are going south to Qingquan city with Asian Prime Minister Liu Buhui, The number of troops directly under Lu Que's command will be as high as 256, 000.

In the northwest of Qianyuan, the capital of emperor Qianyuan, there were five generals standing in the camp of Changqing army. They were Emperor Yu Yuanxu of Qianyuan, Princess Yu Chuqing of assistant governor, Duke Lu Chun of Weiguo, new Commander Lu que of Southern Xinjiang and commander Lei Zhang of left army guard. They looked down at the endless sea of guns.

"Duke Wei really deserves to be one of the best soldiers in our army. In just a few months, these recruits have been transformed." Yu Yuanxu looks at the army in front of him, and his face shows a very satisfied expression. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the 100000 recruits on the right side of the school yard were ordinary people who were busy in the market more than a month ago.

"Your Majesty's praise is wrong. Being rich and well-off makes people have their own houses, fields, clothes and teachers. Their physique and spirit are far from comparable to those of other countries around them. It's not difficult to become an army in January. It's all the result of your Majesty's 20-year cultivation." Lu Chun is not flattering the emperor, but he really thinks so.

At that time, he was the governor of the northern army and more than ten counties. Naturally, he knew that after the destruction of Qingyang, Daqian had exhausted the legacy of the previous emperors. At that time, even rats were not willing to enter the Yanyang warehouse in the Northern Territory. This shows the difficulty of national strength at that time. However, more than ten years later, Daqian not only regained his vitality, but also had a better national strength than that of Emperor Xuan. In the history of imperial dynasties, there are many Zhongxing emperors, but few of them can achieve Yu Yuanxu. It can be seen that the emperor is indeed a wise king.

"Twenty years ~" Yu Yuanxu sighed with emotion, and his eyes were in a trance. Unconsciously, he has been on the throne for more than 20 years. In these years, he has witnessed with his own eyes the devastation of the great empire of Daqian after the war in Northern Xinjiang. He has also seen with his own eyes that the State Treasury has been exhausted and Qingyang is dying. Now Daqian has won the battle. As long as he completely annex the two countries in southern Xinjiang and expel his hands back to the mountains, he will not return, No one can hinder the rise of Daqian.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuanxu takes a look at Wang Zan, the general manager of the interior standing under the commanding general's stage. Wang Zan immediately understands, takes a tray covered with red brocade from xiaohuangmen, and bows to the commanding general's stage.

"It's a blessing for Da Qian to have your father and son." Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, uncovers the red silk and sees two identical red gold seals of Phoenix buttons on the tray. Yu Yuanxu's right hand caresses each of the two seals. Then his eyes coagulate and he says, "today I give the military power of the north and the south to the two love ministers, and I also entrust the future of Da Qian to them. Both of them are outstanding people in the world. I will not say more if I have any more words. I am in Qianyuan, the capital of the emperor, waiting for their return. " With that, Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian, holds the gold seal in both hands and hands it to Lu Chun and Lu que.

The red gold seal of Phoenix button not only represents the commander-in-chief of the four frontiers, who is one of the greatest military officers in Daqian, but also represents the actual military power of several legions.

Looking at the familiar gold seal in his hand, Lu Chun can't help feeling that the gold seal belonged to him more than ten years ago. Now the gold seal of the commander in chief of Northern Xinjiang still has the finger marks he left when he heard the news that Jiashan fortress was broken and Zhijia Shizi died in battle. After the fall of Qingyang, he was transferred back to the emperor's capital and gave the gold seal back to the emperor. Counting the time, it's almost 18 years since now.

But Lu que took it with both hands. His eyes just stayed for a while, but he didn't care. Although the commander-in-chief of the four prefectures was only from the first rank, because he could command several legions at the same time, his real power was better than that of the Prime Minister of the three prefectures. But these are not what he wants. He would rather study quietly in Fengming academy, have tea with three or five friends in his spare time, rather than become a key person who will affect many people's lives and the fate of several countries at any time.

"Thank you, your majesty." Seeing that his son took over the gold seal representing the military power in southern Xinjiang, he was at a loss. He didn't know what he was thinking. Lu Chun quickly said, "Your Majesty, today is the time for the Changqing army to go out. Does your majesty have something to say to the soldiers?"

"No, your father and son are the commander-in-chief of the north and the south, so I won't do anything for them." Yu Yuanxu waved his hand. He knew what Lu Chun meant by that. Lu Chun wanted to use his status as emperor to win over the army at the time of the expedition, so as to show that their father and son had no different intentions. Yu Yuanxu smiles bitterly when he thinks of this. Lu Chun is the brother-in-law of Da Qian. He even says something like this to make him feel at ease. Is it necessary to be alone as an emperor?

However, Yu Yuanxu thought that if he was out of place, he might do the same. After all, in the history of all dynasties, there were too few emperors who could doubt people. On the contrary, there were a lot of kings who were suspicious and killed meritorious officials. The word "king and Minister" is the biggest estrangement in the world.

"Marshal Lu, troops are coming. Do you have anything to say?" Lu Chun looked at his son and said that on such an occasion, he did not call him father and son, but called him official position directly.

Hearing his father Lu Chun's address, Lu Que's mouth twitched a few times. He bowed his head and thought about it carefully. He said, "Lu Xiang, the northern and southern border areas are thousands of miles away from the Empire. The lower officials think it's too early to boost their morale now. Now it's almost time. Just beat the drum and send out the troops. "

Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, Lei Zhang, the commander of the Imperial Guard of the left army, and Yu Chuqing, who is both a wife and a mother, have a very strange expression on their faces after hearing the conversation between the father and son. Lei Zhang covered his mouth with his hand and coughed twice.

"Drum officer, beat the drum and send out the troops." Lu Chun didn't notice the difference. After clearing his throat, he gave the order to the drum officer under the commanding general. Seeing this, Lu que sighed in his heart. It was a decisive battle for life and death three thousand miles away. It was normal for them to have such an expression, and Lu que was envious, because they could all express their emotions, He is the only one who can express it in such a wordless way.

He is the commander in chief of the army who is divided into clean-up, planning and then moving. Tens of thousands of people in the whole army are staring at him. He must give the whole army a kind of calmness that all kinds of dangers and obstacles are like clouds, and a kind of indifference that all kinds of calculations are in the palm of the hand. Only in this way can we give people confidence and make people feel that following such a commander and making achievements are just a leisurely task.

"Commander in chief." At this time, a messenger with a small flag on his back came from the former team.
