Chapter 635

As soon as Liu He's order was issued, all places began to prepare intensively. There was no war in the Central Plains for six years. The soldiers were either farming or training every day. They were already impatient to live this kind of life. They cruised in the sea every day, discovered many islands, conquered many places, and made many achievements. They were infinitely envious in their hearts, and hoped that they would also make meritorious deeds by killing enemies, be awarded titles, and leave their names in history.

Now I suddenly heard that King Qin had ordered an expedition against Chu, and everyone was excited. They were all rushing to be the first, gearing up, and preparing to show off their talents. They also made great contributions, were granted titles and rewards, and honored their ancestors. It would be best to have a wife and son, so that The brothers in the camp envied themselves.

As for the generals from all walks of life, they are equally excited now. Zhou Yu is better. Three years ago, he made great contributions to the suppression of the Nanman and was worshiped as General Zuo. Still under Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, but after all, in addition to controlling a state and tens of thousands of troops like them, they also control nearly [-] sailors. At the same time, Zhou Yu's navy was also found on the East China Sea. Many islands, although most of them are uninhabited, but there are also many places with people. What is particularly eye-catching is that it is said that Zhou Yu has found a waterway from Yangzhou to the country of Wa. If it is confirmed, Zhou Yu His contribution will be even greater, and it is not impossible to surpass Zhao Yun and Guan Yu in official positions.

Therefore, now Zhao Yun can be said to hold his breath, and urgently needs to make a great contribution to consolidate his position as the number one general in the army. Now that he has finally obtained such an opportunity, and is attacking Cao Pi's core area, naturally he must grasp it tightly. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Yun issued an extremely strict mobilization order, requiring the soldiers to complete the tasks on time and as required, otherwise, they will be kicked out of the expedition team, and they will never be used again for future expeditions.

Although there is no substantive military discipline punishment, this is more effective than any punishment for the soldiers. Not to mention the embarrassment, and there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds in the future. If this is the case, what is the point of being a soldier?
Therefore, all the soldiers acted quickly to fulfill the requirements with high standards and high quality, and absolutely no one dared to take it lightly.

Not only Yuzhou where Zhao Yun is located, but also Yanzhou where Qu Yi is located and Jizhou where the trial is located are all in the same situation. All the soldiers are afraid that they will lose such a precious opportunity to make meritorious service, and they all act desperately, lest A little behind, leading to missed opportunities.

So under such circumstances, the army assembly and mobilization that should have been completed within a month was basically completed within half a month.

After this, all the armies immediately put into hard training. Although there was a [-]% certainty of winning this battle, everyone was not sure of getting the credit. Grab the credit in your hands without hindering the military situation.

Of course, in order to avoid making things wrong by claiming merit, Liu He had already ordered in advance that anyone who hindered the military situation because of competing for credit would be dealt with by military law, and would be issued a military registration and would never be used.

This kind of deterrence is very strong, and all soldiers regard this as the biggest commandment, so what they are training now is how to maximize their merits without touching this commandment.

Under such circumstances, intelligence spread to Xiapi City from all over the country like snowflakes. Since Liu He announced the order of the conquest, Cao Pi's case has almost never stopped the intelligence of Liu He's army.

"My lord, Zhao Yun has gathered troops in Yuzhou. Although it has only been half a month, the personnel are fully in place. The military discipline is very strict and the murderous spirit is awe-inspiring. It seems that the war may be brought forward."

"My lord, the inspectors gathered people and horses in the plains and built a large number of boats to cross the river. The other side of the Yellow River is clanging and clanging every day. They are busy until late at night. It seems that the boats will be built soon. Our military needs to take precautions."

"My lord, according to the reports of the spies, there are countless warships on the Yangtze River. It seems that there are tens of thousands of them. These ships are well-equipped, and the soldiers are high-spirited, shouting and killing. It seems that they are going to move to the Guangling area."

"My lord, according to the report from the spies, there is a lot of people in a certain valley in Taishan County, and the flags are flying. It seems that Liu He's army is gathering here for training. It seems that it will not take long before they will launch an attack on our army. Our army needs to make arrangements early."

When Cao Pi first heard that Liu He was going to attack him, he didn't take it seriously. After all, in his opinion, there was no benefit at all in attacking him. Instead, he would welcome back the emperor, a hot potato. At most, he would force the emperor to persuade him. It was just a matter of retreating, but I didn’t expect that the smell of gunpowder would get heavier later on. Liu He’s army of 20 troops all gathered together, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth. It was absolutely impossible for the thunder to be loud and the rain to be small, so all this All the signs point to one thing: Liu He may really want to take action against himself.

Although Cao Ren was urgently ordered to lead the army to guard Xiapi, Xiahou Dun to guard Jibei, Cheng Yu to guard Guangling, and Le Jin to guard Langya, Cao Pi still felt uneasy because his own troops were too small. Although 5 people seem to be a lot, but if you go around, it seems to be even less. Even in Xiapi City, which is in the most core area, there are only 5 people.

"My lord, what, how should I fight this? Now even the yamen servants are recruited, and there are only 3000 people." Zhan Fei, who reported the news to Cao Pi, said with a wry smile.

"Zhanfei, I also know that things are difficult, but now we have no choice. I really didn't expect Liu and Xiaoer to play for me. What good does it do him? After breaking my Xiapi City, even if I can't avoid Once I die, but the emperor returns to Chang'an or Luoyang, it can only be a hindrance to him, so he has not beaten me for so many years, but why is he crazy now? He even led his troops because of a small Donghai County King Attack me? Let me tell you, in this troubled world, what is the difference between this Donghai County King and the previous Duke of Chu? Even if he is the emperor, what can he do? Why is he still living a miserable life? Why is his mind so hard to think about? ?”

Only when he regards Zhan Fei as his confidant, can he speak so unscrupulously, complaining to Liu He very much in words.

Zhan Fei, that is, Deng Zhan, sneered secretly in his heart: "Does this need to be said? It is clear that the lord wants to use this to dominate the world. For this emperor, although it is a trouble, it is only a small trouble. I believe the lord already has a way to deal with it." , That's why we so openly proposed to welcome back the emperor and kill the traitors."

Of course, on the surface, Deng Zhan can only comfort Cao Pi.

Cao Pi then said: "It's okay. I'm just complaining. Don't worry. I still have ways to deal with Liu He. I don't believe it. If the emperor personally went to the top of the city to persuade him, would Liu He not retreat? Besides, I have already sent someone to contact Zhongda, he only needs to hold on for a month, and he will definitely send troops from the Wa Kingdom to rescue him."
