At this time, Luoyang was already in the mood that day. Three years after Duan Mingyu left Beijing, the new capital of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to show its scale. However, behind the prosperity was the strong bones. The 150,000 Shen Ce troops left by Duan Mingyu had already withered. In order to pacify Shu, Wei Zhaodu was in charge. After a year of war, the main force of the Shen Ce troops had already withered. It is said that Duan Mingyu invented mortars and crossbows, and should not have paid such a heavy price, but things happened. The reason was the aging of the military. Duan Mingyu did not invent stainless steel, so these advanced weapons had been sent for repair. However, the large amount of money assigned by Li Ye was eaten layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by official of the court, so these weapons could only be used as scrap iron and waiting to get moldy.

Less than 30% of the remaining weapons and equipment can be used on the battlefield, and the generals who commanded the troops did not know how to fully apply it. They were inappropriate in tactical command, so they were seriously injured by the coalition forces of Chen Jingxuan and Wang Jian. Although they finally won, they were also seriously injured. In this case, whether it was Zhu Wen’s founding of the country, or Yelu Abaoji’s founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty should rest and rest. The place where Shangdang raised horses in the Hetao was still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. The situation was not very bad, but soon, the main camp of the court gained the upper hand.

In the spring of the sixth year of the Longji period, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye, appointed Prime Minister Zhang Jun as the commander, and launched a total of 200,000 troops across the country, and vowed to the Northern Expedition. The goal was to establish the Liang Kingdom established by Zhu Wen. If the battle was smooth, it could also fight against the Khitan in the Yunnei prefectures.

The chief generals in the court included Wei Zhaodu, Wang Yanzhang, Shangrang, Ge Congzhou, and Xu Wen. These were all generals of the Shence Army in Luoyang. The commander of the Shence Army. Except for Wei Zhaodu, the rest were Duan Mingyu's old subordinates. It can be seen that Duan Mingyu retired from the court for nearly four years, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty was still playing a significant role. In addition to the 70,000 Shence Army, many people from all over the country came to participate in the Northern Expedition. Li Maozhen, the governor of Qizhou (formerly known as Song Wentong, later named Li Maozhen by Emperor Xizong of Tang, guarding Qizhou), personally led 50,000 troops, Fang Wenzhong, the governor of Songzhou, personally led 40,000 troops, and Luo Hou, the governor of Chenzhou, personally led 30,000 troops. These local troops were very strong in combat and were selected to participate in the Northern Expedition. In addition, 30,000 troops were also gathered in Jianghuai and Jingchu, and 30,000 troops were allowed to be listened to under the tent of Zhang Jun, the general of the Northern Expedition.

In general, the frontier base of this Northern Expedition was Weizhou City. The army set out from Luoyang, passed through Bianliang, and then arrived at Weizhou, and then could attack Zhenzhou, an important town of Liang State. The war machines of the imperial court continued to operate. After the 200,000 troops arrived, the general Zhang Jun issued a proclamation to the Liang State Emperor Zhu Wen, and ordered the Hedong Jiedushi, King Li Cunxu of Jin, to send troops to attack Zhenzhou from Jinyang. After Li Cunxu received the order, 60,000 troops from Hedong went to the front line. Li Cunxiao, Li Siyuan, and Li Sizhao all followed, leaving behind a veteran general Zhou Dewei to guard Hedong.

As the confidant general of Zhang Jun, the commander of the Northern Expedition Commander, Wei Zhaodu could enter Weizhou City in advance. He is now the former commander of the Northern Expedition Army. At least in terms of dispatch, he is almost on par with the governors of various routes. He is qualified to be a leader and no longer has to settle in the inn.

And Zhang Jun, under the emperor's Junyu, wanted to set up a team of ten miles to welcome him into Weizhou Prefecture!

This is a great face and a rare glory. It can also express the emperor's holy favor to him from the other hand. Zhang Jun's current title is considered to be rewarded by Emperor Li Ye. If Zhang Jun wants to give such great strength to the court, the court will definitely repay him. In addition to these faces, the power must be given enough, and the emperor must also express it in private.

As Zhang Jun's confidant, Wei Zhaodu naturally did not lack some privileges. Moreover, he thought that he had the great achievements in pacifying Shu, which was real. Although he enjoyed this feeling, what he wanted more was to let Zhang Jun cooperate with him in the Northern Expedition and achieve the final achievements!

In what situation a person is in, he will have the same expectation of the legendary battle in Shu, which makes Wei Zhaodu a prominent figure in the world. However, most people cannot see how reluctant he wins. However, people in Luoyang only care about the result. No matter whether you win completely or miserable, if you lose, you will be a bear, if you win, you will be a hero. When Wei Zhaodu leads the trend of another Northern Expedition, at this moment, he is only ambitious.

Maybe you can go a step further, a real man must live up to his life!

But at this moment, he just wanted to enjoy his own glory.

In the north of Weizhou City, Wang Yanzhang, Xu Wen, and Ge Congzhou, Shangrang's troops were really out of ten miles north!

Countless soldiers lined up to meet each other, each of whom stood straight and looked north. Zhang Jun also personally left the north of Weizhou City, and in the official pavilion, he led the general's office and the Luohou who had arrived in Weizhou, waiting to welcome Wei Zhaodu.

In the eyes of countless people, he saw several strong horses galloping from afar. Wang Yanzhang sighed. Wei Zhaodu's war horse was still Xiongjun, a northern land seized by Duan Mingyu from the Khitan. He was really a tree planted by his predecessors and later generations took advantage of the shade. The war horses were flying like flying on the road to Xiongzhou, and the first soldier held the flag. The word "Wei" was on the top!

Countless Tang army soldiers were silent for a moment. Suddenly, a shocking cheer broke out!

In order to weaken Duan Mingyu's influence on the army, Emperor Li Ye promoted Wei Zhaodu's great achievements in pacifying Shu, so Wei Zhaodu's reputation has been catching up with Duan Mingyu in the army. The originally neat queue has become turbulent, and the people standing behind are desperately standing on tiptoe to see who Wei Zhaodu is. Half of it is arranged, and half is from the heart. I don't know where to start, teams of Tang soldiers have begun to slap the ground neatly with long spears in their hands, shouting loudly: "General Wei, General Wei!"

The roar went from near to far, but it was just buzzing across the fourth field of Weizhou, and it also spread to Zhang Jun and others who were waiting in the official pavilion.

Zhang Jun looked around and just smiled. His staff became an old official, so naturally there was no abnormal behavior at this time. Wang Yanzhang was also very calm today, but Ge Congzhou just muttered to himself: "A battle in Shuzhong made the stinky shit smelly, but it was praised too much. I was so frustrated that I wanted to live in seclusion with Prince Duan that day!"
