Chapter 53: Transfer of troops and generals

Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi and the other three left Chang'an, and the matter was extremely secret. Liu Che took Zhou Yafu, Shen Gong, Zhufu Yan, Dong Zhongshu and others to the outside of Xuanshi Hall, and stopped sending him.

Zhou Yang and the other two left Weiyang Palace, took advantage of the night to leave Chang'an and headed straight to Leishou Mountain.

Although Zhou Yang left Chang'an, Liu Tie was still taking Zhou Yang's convoy and wandering around Chang'an, creating the illusion that Zhou Yang was still in Chang'an. Liu Tie couldn't understand what Zhou Yang was singing about this, but he strictly implemented Zhou Yang's orders without any laziness.

Not only did Zhou Yang's carriage wander around in Chang'an, but Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi's ceremonial wars appear in Chang'an from time to time. They wandered around, and no one knew that the three of them had already rushed to the border.

In Longcheng, in the tent of Junchen Shanyu, Junchen Shanyu was drinking with a group of ministers while discussing major events.

"What do you think about Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Bu Zhi?" Ah Hu'er ate mutton and sipped hot horse's breasts in big mouthfuls, teasing: "The Han Emperor has just passed away. Zhou Yang, Li Guang, and Cheng Bu Zhi are wandering around in Chang'an, and they also make trouble from time to time. The emperor is helpless with them. Are they proud of their contributions and do not obey the Han Emperor's control?"

In order to confuse the Huns, Zhou Yang, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi not only wandered around in Chang'an, but also caused trouble from time to time, such as riding a horse and hurting people, and acting domineeringly, and posing as arrogant.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to just wander around Chang'an and make the Huns believe it, not to mention the military ministers, Shanyu, Yi Zhixie, and Zhongxing said that three shrewd people were even more difficult to deceive them.

Zhidu was very worried about this matter and wanted to ask about it. The three of them had high positions and were in power, so he could not move, so he had to report to Liu Che, but Emperor Wu of Han ignored it. These were all planned. If Liu Che was punished, it would be a strange thing.

Of course, Zhou Yang and the others took the right measure and stalked people by riding a horse and hurting people. They could not be killed. They would just be slightly injured. Then they sent someone to spread rumors secretly. The deeds of the three in Chang'an were as fast as the trend.

"The Han people are just that kind of virtue! They are proud of their great achievements and are arrogant!"

"Zhou Yang finally revealed his wolf ambition."

The ministers were very afraid of Zhou Yang. It was because of Zhou Yang that the Huns were so frustrated that they did not miss the opportunity to slander Zhou Yang and started to slander him loudly.

"No matter why Zhou Yang and the others are like this, it doesn't matter. What's important is that Zhou Yang, Li Guang, and Cheng Buzhi are still in Chang'an!" Junchen Shanyu ate mutton and sipped horse's breasts, and was so happy: "That's enough."

"The Great Shanyu is wise!" Zhou Yang was the enemy that the Huns feared the most. Zhou Yang was not on the border. For the Huns, it was a great joy. A group of ministers hurriedly flattered the military minister Shanyu.

"The Emperor of Han was a little kid. He didn't know that this Shanyu was going to launch a large-scale military service against the Han Dynasty. He actually issued an order to abide by the ancient etiquette and to perform national mourning for three years and not to engage in conquests within three years." The military minister Shanyu was full of energy and his voice became much louder.

However, he didn't know that the reason why Emperor Wu of Han issued this decree was to confuse him. Three years of national mourning was an ancient ritual that had been passed down for thousands of years. No one in history dared to break this tradition. Emperor Wu of Han had the decree that was once, and it would be difficult to ask the military ministers and Shanyu to not believe it. Who would have thought that a baby emperor who was only fifteen or sixteen years would have such a courage to break the shackles of ancient rituals and use his troops to the Huns?

Not to mention, in the snow and ice, the Han army was going deep into Longcheng, which was something that had never been seen since Pangu opened the world.

Since Pangu opened the world, the Chinese army has arrived in Longcheng. In the snow and ice, let alone the Han army, even the Huns who grew up in the desert, had great difficulties.

"Also, that Wei Qing, he actually stopped the Han Dynasty's attack on Hetao, and even the troops preparing to attack were transferred back." Yi Zhixie was so happy that he shook his head and damaged Wei Qing: "My brother-in-law, he is just a brother-in-law, and he can only act as a domineering blessing, but he has no talent!"

The land of Hetao is like the hilt of a sharp sword. Whoever possesses the land of Hetao controls the sword will have the initiative. Wei Qing stopped all the preparations for attacking the land of Hetao, but also transferred the army back. If the Han Dynasty had no intention of quitting the army, it would be impossible to do so.

Once this plan was made, the Huns, from Shanyu to ordinary herdsmen, all believed that the Han Dynasty would abide by the ancient etiquette and would not conquer during the three-year national mourning period. The Huns had high morale and high fighting spirit, and were arrogant.

The crowd was talking about pride and splashing, and when they were happy, they burst into laughter.

The Bank of China said that he was sitting in the corner, frowning and silently saying, but occasionally tearing a piece of mutton and drinking some horse breasts.

Junchen Shanyu saw it and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "Zhongchang said, what's wrong with you?"

"The Great Shanyu, the slave was a little suspicious, but he couldn't grasp it." The Central Bank said hesitated slightly and still told the truth.

"Suspicion? What's the point of doubt?" Junchen Shanyu was surprised and couldn't help but be stunned. He put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at the Bank of China and said, "Say!"

"The Great Shanyu, the slave is very strange at this time." Zhongxing said his brows frowned even more: "If you don't say anything else, just say that Wei Qing is not an incompetent person, but a very talented general. How could he do such a perverted thing?"

"Wei Qing? Do you know Wei Qing?" Yi Zhixie was a little unbelievable. He was the most effective at harming Wei Qing.

"As far as I know, Zuo Xianwang, Wei Qing was originally a chariot slave in the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion. He was discovered by Zhou Yang and promoted to the army." Zhongxing said with a brief thought, and began to analyze: "Wei Qing followed Zhou Yang to fight, quell the rebellion in Sui Yang, built great achievements in the Battle of Minyue, and even went to sea to collect an island. He commanded troops in Nanyue for several years, and was extremely effective and trusted by the Emperor of Han. How could such a good general do such a rebellious act?"

"Han Gou, how dare you doubt the words of King Zuo Xian?" A minister immediately yelled.

"Hmph!" Yi Zhixie snorted coldly, and the minister dared not say anything again: "BOC said, let's finish your words. What did you discover?"

"Reported to King Zuo Xian, I found nothing, it was just a strange thing." Zhongxing said in confusion: "After the death of the Han Emperor, the actions of the Han Dynasty were fine, and they followed the regulations of ancient rituals. If you say something doubtful, it was Wei Qing, who did not match his temperament. But what was he doing this for?"

Emperor Wu of Han was determined to fight back and attack Longcheng directly. Although the Bank of China said that it was extremely talented, it did not dare to think about it in this regard. In fact, this was too unexpected.

After Emperor Jing's death, the Han Dynasty must have been prepared for the Huns. Even if a war occurred, it would be on the border and would never happen in Longcheng. This was too contrary to normalcy. The Bank of China said that even if he was ten times smarter, he would never have imagined it.

"According to what you say, it's a suspicion." Junchen Shanyu said that he trusted the Bank of China and frowned: "Does the Han Dynasty dare to attack the Great Huns?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" The Bank of China immediately rejected it, blurting out without thinking.

"The Han Dynasty did not dare to take action. Why did Wei Qing do this?" Junchen Shanyu asked again.

"The Great Shanyu, the slave really can't figure it out. We can ask for more inquiries, maybe we can find out what we can find out." The Bank of China expressed its ideas.

"That's true." Junchen Shanyu agreed and wanted to send someone to handle the matter.

At this moment, a personal guard rushed in and reported to Junchen Shanyu: "The Great Shanyu, there is no need to investigate, the matter is clear."

"Oh!" Junchen Shanyu was very interested and hurriedly urged: "Speak quickly!"

"Da Shanyu, Wei Qing has been making a big fuss in the border these two days." The personal guard said happily: "Wei Qing pulled a group of generals to drink and have fun all day long. After getting drunk, he threatened that his brother-in-law was Zhou Yang, and he, the brother-in-law, finally got his best and had hope. Now, he is a vicious man! The villain is successful!"

The guard curled his lips and did not break the crack, which damaged Wei Qing.

"The Great Shanyu didn't know yet. Those Han generals dared not to drink with him, so they would have to engage in military law. If they didn't drink with him, they would also have to engage in military law. Several generals have been beaten." The personal guards reported loudly: "I have never seen such a military order!"

"The intestines of the Han people are always so many twists and turns. In order to climb upward, they can do everything. Once they reach a high position, they have to be arrogant and blessed. I don't know how many of these people have been there for thousands of years! During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the most!" Junchen Shanyu did not forget to damage the entire China: "Okay, there is no need to investigate. Come and drink!"

"Drinke!" The ministers responded with a loud bang.

For a moment, the banquet was heard in the king's tent, and laughter continued, which was so happy. Zhongxing said that he frowned and thought endlessly, but gradually, his brows dispersed.

"Master, you are finally here." Zhang Piqi, Chao Cuo, and Feng Jing trotted towards each other and started shouting from afar.

As the commander, Zhou Yang's arrival means that the Han Dynasty's counterattack against the Huns had entered the implementation stage from planning, which was of great significance. The three of them were both happy and excited.

"Let you wait for a long time!" Zhou Yang flew off the horse and greeted the three of them.

"Oh, Grandmaster, why are you here now?" Feng Jing complained as soon as he met: "If you arrive early, we can kill the Huns as soon as possible!"

At this time, waiting is the most anxious thing, so he can't help but complain.

"General Feng, if you complain, be careful, the general will not take you there, let you complain enough!" Li Guang said with a smile.

This is just a joke, but it has a miraculous effect on Feng Jing. He smiled and said carefully: "Master, don't go to your heart, I'm just talking and having fun!"

"General Feng, do you still treat the general as a stingy? I really can't take you there!" Cheng Bushi also came to tease Feng Jing.

The Huns had a lifelong ambition. If Feng Jing could not go to the battlefield, he would regret it for the rest of his life. In order to fulfill this long-cherished wish, Feng Jingte's request was granted by Liu Che's permission. He no longer served as an official in the court, but instead went into battle again and followed Zhou Yang to attack Longcheng.

"You two... why are you so bad?" Feng Jing suddenly realized that he was not a human being. No matter what he said, there were problems. He couldn't help but stare at Li Guang and Cheng Bushi.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Zhou Yang waved his hand and stopped them from making trouble, saying, "Are you all ready?"

"Master, you have been ready for a long time, and I'm waiting for you!" Zhang Piqiang reported with a smile: "The road that should be cleared has been cleared. As long as the army is dispatched, the road will be blocked!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yang praised and said, "Let's go in."

The crowd followed Zhou Yang and entered Leishou Mountain. As soon as they entered Leishou Mountain, they recognized the soldiers. The soldiers cheered as if they saw their relatives: "The Grand Marshal is here! The Grand Marshal is back!"

"The Grand Marshal is back! The Grand Marshal is back!" These words roared like a mountain, and it was as fast as the wind. Before Zhou Yang could go far, the soldiers surrounded him and greeted Zhou Yang.

The great commander can always be loved by the soldiers. Zhou Yang, a famous general, can always create miracles and win battles. It is impossible to have the soldiers not love him.

"Brothers, okay!" Zhou Yang greeted loudly.

"Master, okay!" The soldiers squeezed beside Zhou Yang and greeted Zhou Yang excitedly.

Zhou Yang first inspected and did a good job in preparation. Feng Jing and Zhang Piqiang and Chao Cuo rushed to Leishou Mountain this time. His mission was to prepare for the army. There were many things to prepare for the mobilization of the 150,000 troops. Zhou Yang, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were going to stay in Chang'an to confuse the Huns and could not separate them. It would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Feng Jing.

After the inspection, Zhou Yang came to the General's Mansion. Since the training of troops, Zhou Yang has issued orders here many times, and today he will issue orders to the Northern Expedition here again.

"Beat the drum, gather the generals!" Zhou Yang ordered loudly.

"Dongdong!" The thunderous drum sounded, shaking the ground.

When the generals heard the sound, they rushed into the big tent, greeted Zhou Yang, and then stood on both sides.

Zhou Yang was wearing a helmet and a sword hanging on his waist. He stood in front and looked at the generals. He was full of energy. He was very good and very satisfied.

"The late emperor passed away, and I am afraid that the Huns will invade the border, so I have to guard against it. The emperor ordered me to lead you to the border to defend the Huns." Zhou Yang said loudly: "This matter is urgent. You are ready and start the dark!"

The matter of directly attacking Longcheng is absolutely confidential. One more person knows it and one more possibility of leaking it. Zhou Yang will not disclose it until the last moment.

"No!" The generals were convinced by Zhou Yangji. Zhou Yang said he would go wherever he went. Without a word, he received the order with a loud bang.

"You must remember that since the Great Wall Battle, the Huns have been looking for opportunities to retaliate against the Han Dynasty. This is a good opportunity for the Huns. It is unknown whether there may be a big war. Therefore, you must be prepared for the war! Be prepared for the tough battle!" Zhou Yang's face was solemn and he ordered loudly.

"No!" The generals responded again.

"You guys go and do your business!" Zhou Yang waved his hand and the generals bowed and said goodbye.

As soon as the generals left, Zhou Yang and Zhang Piqiang, Chao Cuo, Feng Jing, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi discussed it.

"I heard for a long time that the commander is good at governing the army. When I see you today, it is far better than the rumors!" Chao Cuo first saw Zhou Yang's orders for the first time. He was really called strict orders and banned orders. He couldn't help but feel very moved.

"Then it's all right, otherwise, how could the Great Wall Victory be achieved back then!" Li Guang was very proud: "The general was a famous general who was shot out, and he was shot out with real swords and guns!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand and stopped Li Guang from talking further, saying, "There will be a start tonight. For the matter on the road, the second uncle and the Qingyi lay Buddhist."

"Master-in-law, we are ready for this matter!" Chao Cuo held his beard and was extremely relieved: "The army will surely make achievements when it goes! The destruction of the Huns is in today's day!"

The long-cherished wish of countless passionate patriots to defeat the Huns is about to come true, and anyone will be relieved.

"Qingyi lay Buddhist, the army is about to set off, let's go, let's prepare first." Zhang Piqiang stood up and said goodbye to Zhou Yang.

The military situation is like fire, and there is not much time left. It is justified that the Han army arrived at the border as soon as possible. Chao Cuo happily agreed and said goodbye to Zhou Yang and the others, and hurriedly left with Zhang Piqiang.

After the two left, Zhou Yang and Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Feng Jing discussed for a while and then rested. The army was about to set off at night, and everyone returned to the camp and started to sleep to accumulate energy.

Before it was dark, Zhou Yang got up, finished washing, and used the battle meal, and it was almost dark.

The army can be dispatched. At Zhou Yang's order, Li Guang led the army to walk in his head, and Feng Jing was following him.

In the dark night, the exit of Leishou Mountain seemed like a flood discharge gate. The Han army rushed out from here and rushed away.

The Han army was one after another, head and tail, and I don’t know how many there were, but I saw a long dragon rolling north.

Zhou Yangfei flew on his body and ran out of the horse. As soon as he left Leishou Mountain and looked forward, he saw a dark area. Although the Han army was moving forward, it did not make any sound. In order to ensure the secret, the Han army was holding a horse's mouth and silent, so it could be silent.

Not long after, the Han army boarded the official road. At this time, there were no pedestrians except the Han army driving in. The originally lively official road was no longer a bustling scene with bustling traffic and pedestrians, and it was quiet.

Zhang Piqiang and Chao Cuo are quite efficient, and it is amazing to prohibit pedestrians from passing through so quickly. Zhou Yang thought about it again that Zhang Piqiang and Chao Cuo are both great talents in the world. If they can't even do this, they will be useless to be great talents!

Zhou Yang didn't know at all that the people near the official road were complaining and speculating.

"What's wrong with this road? Why did you say it's just a ban?"

"It's said that the road is broken and needs to be repaired."

"Tightening? Where did it break? I've obviously passed in the morning. How could it break?"

"Who knows, the government said it was broken, who can have a solution?"

The advance of the Han army caused inconvenience to the people. However, in order to defeat the Huns, this inconvenience could only be endured. If the people shared the official road with the army like before, the Han army had not yet reached the north, the news would have been leaked.

Once the news leaked, the military officials, Shanyu and Yi Zhixie were also smart enough to say that it was hard to guarantee that they would not guess many things, although they might not be able to guess that the Han Dynasty would be bold enough to attack Longcheng.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, this is all that is possible!

The 150,000 troops divided into different routes, followed different official roads and drove to the north. Wherever the army passed, they were completely blocked by Chao Cuo and Zhang Piqiang. Even the people next to the official roads were transferred to the government, and no one was left.

It is precisely because of such strict confidentiality that the 150,000 troops successfully headed north, but no news was revealed.
