Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

He needs Mao Jiang's affirmation and attention.

Li Xing took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "This is a letter from Lord Hou."

After Yang Lu opened the letter and read it, his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

As he thought, Mao Jiang attached great importance to him. Not only was he promoted to General of Yunbei, but he was also given the right to mobilize the garrison in northern Yunzhou.

The so-called General of Yunbei is just an official position privately set up by Mao Jiang, and the general's mansion was set up in the southeast, northwest and four directions of Yunzhou.

Song Chen garrisoned Yuehaifu City for General Yundong, Liu Bo garrisoned Nanyang City for General Yunnan, and Lu Ji led the army to the west of Yunzhou for General Yunxi to defend together with the Yuanzhou rebels.

And Yang Lu, the Yunnan general, was responsible for guarding the Pingman Pass to prevent the Shuzhou guards from going south.

Mao Jiang knew very well that the rebellion in Shuzhou would subside in a short time, so he had to control Pingman Pass to prevent the Shuzhou guards from going south.

From a strategic point of view, the importance of Pingman Pass to Yunzhou needless to say, and Yang Lu, who controls Pingman Pass, has therefore become very important.

So in order to win over Yang Lu, he gave Yang Lu the position of General Yunbei.

In fact, at first he wanted Tang Mingcheng to be the general of Yunbei, but who knew that Tang Mingcheng was so incompetent that he died before leaving the army.

For Yang Lu, such a result made him more determined to follow Mao Jiang.

Although he had no choice but Mao Jiang's attention still made him feel satisfied.

"Reply to Lord Hou, and say that the general will be able to defend Pingman Pass." Yang Lu smiled confidently.

Li Xing also laughed.

He is very satisfied with the result.

Perhaps it should be said that he most hopes that Yang Lu can follow Mao Jiang wholeheartedly.

"My lord, with Lord Hou's attention, and with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under my lord's command, my lord will definitely have a place in the new dynasty in the future." Li Xing stroked his beard lightly, squinted his eyes and smiled.

New Dynasty!

The new dynasty to replace Dali!

Yang Lu's expression moved slightly, he didn't dare to think about it, because he knew Dali's strength very well.

But that didn't stop him from fantasizing about it.

Maybe he can also become a pivotal figure in the court, maybe he can also become the Duke of the state.

Da Li is very strong, but the forces behind Mao Jiang do not seem to be weak.

In the Anning barracks.

Qin Wei sat in the tent, looking at the document in his hand.

Li Ru was not by his side, so Qin Wei had to handle all affairs in the army himself.

It's not that he can't trust other people, it's just that it's hard for other people to handle these matters in line with his wishes.

There are many things involved in the army's expedition, starting from the basic necessities of the soldiers, to the armor and equipment, as well as the eating and drinking of the civilian craftsmen, and even the shit and urination, Qin Wei has to take care of it.

Tens of thousands of people gather together, and there are more than ten tons of cakes every day. If they can't be disposed of in time, the barracks will be full of stench within two days.

That's all for the smell, it may also cause plague and cholera and so on.

Therefore, many things in the military camp must be extra careful.

While Qin Wei was dealing with military affairs, Liu Qing came to the tent.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Ok!"

Qin Wei looked at the document in his hand without raising his head, he was calculating how long the army's food and grass could last.

Seeing that he was busy, Liu Qing didn't bother him, but just stood quietly aside.

After a while, after Qin Wei finished his calculations, he raised his head and rubbed the space between his brows with some headaches.

Needless to say, the importance of food and grass, in order to avoid the shortage of food and grass in the Anning Army, he has to do the calculation every two days.

"Xiao Shunzi, when will the food and grass arrive?"

Xiao Shunzi sat at the desk next to him and said, "Your Highness, it will probably arrive the day after tomorrow."

Qin Wei nodded slightly. At present, the food and grass in the army can last for six or seven days. If it can be delivered the day after tomorrow, there will be no problem.

"What's the matter?" He asked Liu Qing at this moment.

Liu Qing quickly replied: "Your Highness, two hundred catapults have been manufactured."

"Where's the ladder?" Qin Wei was shocked.

"Eighty of them have been manufactured." Liu Qing said.

"Where's the lamp oil?"

"The humble staff has collected [-] cans, almost all the surrounding prefectures and counties have been collected, and I am afraid that it will not be able to collect more in a short time."

Lamp oil is also a scarce item in Dali, and ordinary people are reluctant to use it. Liu Qing has collected several houses and only collected three thousand cans, which are about five thousand catties.

"Almost enough!"

"Prepare again in the next two days, let's choose an auspicious day to attack the city!"

Qin Wei's eyes lit up, he stood up and said with a smile.

"Here!" Liu Qing responded.

Chapter 127 That An Ning child will definitely not be able to break through this Pingman Pass!

After Liu Qing retreated, Qin Wei walked out of the camp and looked at the Pingman Pass in front of him.

At this time, it was late spring and early summer, and the warm southeast wind came slowly, stirring the crisp vegetation on the mountains.

Feeling the breeze, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled up.

"You have the advantage of location, this king will borrow the opportunity!"

he chuckled softly.

At this moment, Wang An hurried over.

Recently, Wang An has been really busy. Although the traitors in the Huangcheng Division of Shuzhou have been cleaned up, the new information network of the Huangcheng Division has not yet been completed. Wang An not only has to deal with the affairs of the Huangcheng Division, but also collect The information from all directions is very busy.

"Your Highness, there is an edict from Kyoto!"

He came to Qin Wei and said anxiously.

Qin Wei was startled, and quickly took the edict and opened it.

After reading it, his face became serious.

Lihuang actually told him to stop at Pingman Pass and not go south to Yunzhou!

In addition, Li Huang prevented him from returning to Beijing for two years!

Looking at Qin Wei's expression, Wang An felt a little uneasy, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"Is there anything unusual in Kyoto?" Qin Wei asked.

"Everything is fine in the capital, but His Majesty has changed the rules for establishing a crown prince in the court." Wang Andao.

"The rules of Li Chu?"

Wang Andao: "That's right. Eight days ago, His Majesty revised the rules for establishing a crown prince in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Instead of appointing a crown prince on the surface, he changed it to a secret decree to appoint a crown prince..."

Qin Wei was a little stunned after hearing this.

The crown prince is no longer publicly registered, but is established in a secret way. It is not until the emperor dies that the truth of who will inherit the throne will be revealed.

Qin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking a lot in his mind.

It doesn't matter to him how to establish a reserve, what matters is Li Huang's attitude towards him.

He is not allowed to return to Beijing within two years, which means that Emperor Li has no idea of ​​establishing a crown prince.

Now he is stopped at Pingmanguan and cannot go south to Yunzhou, which means that Emperor Li is already restricting his military power.

If he goes south to Yunzhou, then he will definitely intervene in Yunzhou's military power. Once the rebels are wiped out, he may control the military power in Yunzhou.

Yunzhou not only has 10,000+ guarding troops, but also 20 frontier troops. Although these troops are all rebels now, if he goes south, he will definitely be able to gather some surrendered troops.

After Mao Jiang's fall, the An Ning Army under his command may reach a size of 30 to [-], or even more.

"My grandpa is really cautious!" Qin Wei sighed helplessly.

He understood Li Huang's concerns.

Li Huang restricted him not to doubt him, but to take precautions in advance.

Prevent him from becoming bigger after he gains military power, prevent him from fighting for the throne by force when Emperor Li died, and prevent him from showing thoughts that he shouldn't have now.

This is beating and suppressing.

Of course, Qin Wei, Prince of Xin'an County, was definitely not the only one who was suppressed. Perhaps those princes and grandchildren who had been staying in the capital would receive even more beatings.

"Thinking about it this way, this king is still free!"

The corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled up slightly, then he put away the letter, turned around and walked into the tent.

Whether it's beating or suppressing, it doesn't matter to Qin Wei now.

In the 45th year of Wude, the fifth day of May.

It is suitable for burial, offering sacrifices, entering a house, and breaking ground. Avoid consecration, digging wells, and marriage.

In the early summer, all kinds of greenery compete for greenness, and the mountains and plains are layered on top of each other, boundless, and the green shines like a wash, as if even the sky has been dyed green.

The wind came head-on with the breath of green grass, blowing the green waves billowing and rolling.

Qin Wei rode on a war horse, looking at the majestic Pingman Pass, feeling the warm summer wind, he smiled softly.

The Anning army assembled and approached the city of Pingmanguan.

The armor was heavily armored, and the atmosphere of chill filled the canyon.

Catapults were parked at the front of the army, and thousands of soldiers were busy, all of which indicated that a big battle was about to begin.

On the city wall of Pingman Pass.

Yang Lu and Li Xing looked at the An Ning army formation.

"They actually want to attack!"

Looking at the row of catapults, Yang Lu said in surprise.

In his opinion, the catapult could not threaten Pingman Pass at all. He felt that Qin Wei, the king of Xin'an County, might not understand the situation of Pingman Pass, but didn't the other generals in the Anning Army also understand?

Is there no one to persuade the king of Xin'an County not to do these useless efforts?

He was a little puzzled.

"Maybe they just want to try!" Li Xing guessed.

"Useless work is useless work. It's pointless to try anyway." Yang Lu shook his head and smiled.

If Pingman Pass can be breached only by catapults, then Pingman Pass will not be called Pingman Pass.

At this time, Li Zhongxian and an old man in a purple robe walked up the city wall.

"I have seen two seniors!"

"Meet the Palace Master!"

Yang Lu and Li Xing hurriedly worshiped.

The old man in purple robes in front of him is Zhong Daofu, the master of Wushan Hall.

Zhong Daofu's face was full of ravines, his narrow and sunken eyes looked particularly sinister, and he was wearing a purple robe, but he didn't have the slightest aura of wealth and nobility, but instead had a gloomy and ruthless chill.

In contrast, Li Zhongxian wore a blue shirt, which seemed to be a bit of an outsider's demeanor.

"How's the situation?" Li Zhongxian asked.

When cooperating with Tang Mingcheng, he never cared about the war, but just waited as a foreign aid to deal with the opponent's innate warriors. .

But Tang Ming's success or failure was so fast that he almost didn't realize it.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he stayed by Yang Lu's side this time.
