Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People
Chapter 252 Military meeting!
Chapter 252 Military meeting!
"Fan Qing, you?"
Wu Zetian looked at Fan Xin with a very complicated expression and didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, those captured children are citizens of the Zhou Dynasty just like the children of the ministers."
"You'd better let me go. There is no one more suitable than me to go and regain the territory right now." Fan Xin said sincerely.
Seeing that Fan Xin had made up his mind, Wu Zetian patted the dragon chair and stood up and said loudly.
"Okay! Ready to play!"
"I appoint you as the general manager of the march in Hebei Province, and Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Xuanyu, and Ma Rengu as the general managers of the fourth route. They will all be transferred to your account!"
"I have only one request. Anyone who offends me must pay with blood!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The court meeting came to an end amidst the roar of the ministers, and by the time Fan Xin returned home, it was already midnight, with only an hour and a half left before the army set off.
Seeing him coming back, Princess Taiping said quietly: "Are you going out again?"
"Yes, the Turks are in danger at Hebei. My husband will have to lead the army and set off soon." Fan Xin said guiltily as he held Princess Taiping in his arms.
Since getting married, he has been busy with official duties and has hardly spent time with the woman in his arms. He would be lying if he said he didn't feel guilty.
Feeling her husband's affection, Princess Taiping reached out and touched his face.
"A man is born between heaven and earth, and his main task is to dominate the royal family. The three of us are waiting for you at home. We must come back alive."
Fan Xin nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive."
After saying that, he took out two gold locks from his arms and gently placed them in the swaddling clothes.
Seeing the two little guys sleeping soundly, Fan Xin kissed each one.
Perhaps because of his pricked beard, the little guy turned over and scratched his face and continued to sleep.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xin and Princess Taiping looked at each other with knowing smiles.
Finally, there was a banging sound outside.
Fan Xin raised his head and glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and said to Princess Taiping.
"I have to go now."
"Go ahead and leave us alone."
Fan Xin took one last look at the mother and son, and left the room resolutely.
Looking at the retreating figure, Princess Taiping shed tears silently...
Coming out of the mansion, Liuzi, Zhang Huan, Jiang Ji, and Lin Tie were already riding on their horses, followed by three hundred soldiers holding torches.
"The Grand Manager, the four General Managers and tens of thousands of generals are all gathered outside the city, ready to lead the army at any time!"
The Sixth Son was wearing a cloak and holding his fists.
Fan Xin nodded, glanced over the soldiers, pulled out the golden dragon sword and said loudly.
"The whole army listens to the order and sets off!"
In an instant, hundreds of soldiers pierced the night like sharp swords and rushed towards the outside of Luoyang.
Along the way, people in Luoyang spontaneously took to the streets to watch Fan Xin and his party leave, silently praying for their safe return.
On the tower, Wu Zetian was wearing a black five-clawed golden dragon suit and holding the handrail tightly with her right hand.
Her most trusted minister once again went to the most dangerous place regardless of his own safety.
"Fan Qing, I'm waiting for you to come back."
Call!
Arriving outside Luoyang,
Fan Xin stopped and glanced at Luoyang behind him, then silently waved goodbye to his family in the city.
Finally shaking the reins, he headed towards the army gathering ahead.
After the two sides merged, the army marched towards Hebei Road like a black dragon.
During the march, Fan Xin called the four stewards to the tent.
"Everyone, according to the reliable information obtained by this general manager, this time the Turks united with the Khitan, Shiwei sent a total of 340,000 troops, and announced 400,000 troops."
"Among them, 80,000 from the Yelu Qiyan tribe have already occupied Gui Prefecture, and a total of 60,000 from Shiwei and Western Turks have invaded Tan Prefecture."
"The remaining 200,000 Turkic main force is stationed in Zhaozhou. The three are in the shape of horns. Any one who attacks one side will be besieged by the other two."
"You are all experienced veterans and can share your opinions."
Everyone looked at each other and Lou Shide took the lead in stroking his beard and said.
"Judging from the trajectory of the Turks, Mo Chui's intention should be mainly robbery."
"If I guess correctly, the Turks should use Zhaozhou as their base to continue to plunder small and medium-sized counties in the next step, and then return home."
Wang Xiaojie nodded.
"I agree with Lao Lou. With the current national strength of the Turks, they are still unable to swallow up the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once they fall into a brutal siege and attrition war, their advantage will be lost."
"The biggest possibility is to plunder Hebei Road and then go back, and then wait until the country is strong to compete with Dazhou."
"The general thought that it would be inappropriate for us to attack Zhaozhou head-on. The flat terrain of Zhaozhou would be conducive to the opponent's cavalry advantage."
"Secondly, the Turks are mainly cavalry and we can't catch up."
"It's best to ambush them on the path they must take to retreat."
"And this location is most likely the Fifth Circuit Road in Yixian County!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals nodded, obviously agreeing with Wang Xiaojie's view.
Fan Xin was not a dictatorial person, and all the generals agreed that the best time to ambush was when the Turks were retreating.
He immediately stood up and spoke to everyone.
"In this case, Wang Xiaojie led 40,000 elite troops to ambush in Yixian County. Lou Shide and Ma Rengu each led 60,000 troops to block the reinforcements from Tangui Prefecture."
"I will personally go to Zhaozhou to meet with this old thief Mo Chui!"
The generals were worried when they heard that Fan Xin was going to Zhaozhou with only 30,000 troops.
"The main Turkic force is stationed in Zhaozhou. Isn't it appropriate for you to bring such a small number of people there?"
"It doesn't matter!" Fan Xin said calmly: "These soldiers and horses are elite troops trained with new methods, which are enough to deal with the main Turkic forces."
Seeing that Fan Xin had made up his mind, the generals no longer urged each other to accept the order and leave.
When only Zhang Huan was left in the room, Lin Tie hesitated.
"General Manager, the Shenji Battalion only has 9,000 flintlock guns and 28 heavy artillery pieces. This size may not be able to face the 200,000 Khitan cavalry."
"You don't have to worry about this. The moment I received the news about the pangolin, I sent an express delivery to Cao Baibai 800 miles away."
"Order him to quickly transport a batch of flintlock guns and more than 20 heavy cannons. I believe they should arrive in three to five days."
"Okay, order the army to continue marching. We will reach the front line soon."
……
Zhaozhou, governor's office.
Mo Chuo Khan stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the dozen corpses hanging from the beams.
"Great Khan, except for one captor who surrendered, the rest of Zhaozhou officials have been hanged here." Iron Curtain said with an ugly expression.
He originally thought that the Han people would kneel on the ground and surrender obediently, but he didn't expect so many to die.
Mo Chui looked back and said: "There are many people with integrity in Dazhou, so it is no surprise that they choose to die."
"But how is the supply and population in the city?"
"Thirty percent of the supplies are loaded, but the people of Great Zhou are unwilling to follow us to the Turks."
"Following your instructions, I will cut off all their heads."
"There are more than 20,000."
