"My Lord, my Lord."
When Song Hongzhi just walked into the camp.
Then a general came running over.
It was Chen Xian who had previously joined him in a thousand-mile raid and destroyed the Gaoyang Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Chen Xian is no longer a deputy general now. Because of his contribution to destroying a country, he has now become the general of Gaoyang and has the title of viscount. He is now in charge of the training of the army in the entire Gaoyang Protectorate.
Both power and status are much greater than before.
In fact, it’s not just Chen Xian.
All the deputy generals who participated in the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom were rewarded.
They fought bravely for the country and made great contributions, so these are naturally what they deserve.
"What's wrong?" Song Hongzhi looked at the other person with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But soon, his expression straightened up, and he asked, "Did the people I sent to the grassland earlier bring back some news?"
The purpose of collecting information about the grassland tribes is to understand the direction of the enemy army, and then take advantage of a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack and end the war in the north as soon as possible.
In the past few days, Song Hongzhi has been paying attention to the news.
After all, he prefers leading an army to fight rather than governing the country.
Although some resistance forces also emerged in Gaoyang.
But the number of people was too small. At most, there were only over 10,000 people, which was not enough to fight.
So I thought I had to start a war, and targeting those grassland tribes was definitely the best choice.
Chen Xian, who was standing nearby, smiled upon hearing this and said, "My Lord, this news did indeed come from somewhere on the grassland. Our people have penetrated deep into the grassland tribes, traveled extensively, and after making inquiries from many sources, we have finally obtained important intelligence."
"The Khan, the leaders of the ten tribes that united this time, said that they would gather again soon to discuss the next battle plan."
"Because the old marquis is stationed at Zhenbei Pass, their plan to invade the south has been completely disrupted, and many tribal khans have already decided to retreat."
"Plus, this battle has been going on for several months, and the morale of the grassland tribes is unstable, so they plan to have a final battle."
"If we can't succeed, we should completely evacuate north!"
Before.
The ten major tribes on the grassland and 200,000 cavalrymen overwhelmed the northern border with an unstoppable force.
Even Zhao Jiguang, the then General Zhenbei, could not stop their progress.
Zhenbei Pass, which had stood for many years, was almost lost.
This made the leaders of the grassland tribes believe that this battle would definitely allow them to defeat the Wei Dynasty, and then march south to reap the harvest.
But they didn't expect that this action would cause the Marquis of Shenwu to come north in person to block their progress. Several proactive attacks were blocked, and now several months have passed.
Several months of war was nothing to the Wei Dynasty, after all, it was fought at home.
With the court's constant support, he was naturally able to handle the situation with ease.
But for the grassland tribes, it was completely different. With an army of 200,000, the daily consumption of food and fodder alone was terrifying, and more importantly...
Most of these large armies on the grassland are cavalry, and how to raise war horses is a huge problem.
At this point, they can no longer hold on.
Just one last try.
If it fails, we must go back home, otherwise there will be big problems.
Now the people sent by Song Hongzhi got the news, so they quickly chose to report back.
Of course, whether it was Gaoyang or the Wei people, they became too big a target after entering the grassland.
Because in terms of clothing, language, dress, and even any other aspects, the grassland people are completely different from the people of Wei and Gaoyang.
However, Song Hongzhi had anticipated all of this. So not long after entering Gaoyang State, he wiped out a very small grassland tribe and forced them to submit to the Wei Dynasty.
Then let these grassland people act as his spies to find out relevant information.
And the effect is naturally quite good.
Just like this time.
now.
When he heard that the Khans of the ten major grassland tribes were about to gather for a final battle, he knew that this might be his last chance. If he missed it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could fight again.
After a pause, Song Hongzhi took a deep breath and said, "Pass on this general's order. All the garrisons in Gaoping City must assemble. Soldiers currently in training must also temporarily halt and march to Wancheng and Liangcheng in western Gaoyang overnight."
"Remember, this transfer must be carried out in secret. There is no need to submit a petition to the court."
Generally speaking, if local officials want to mobilize a large army.
You must write a letter to the Ministry of War and the imperial court.
The emperor's permission is required.
Because in the Wei Dynasty, the emperor held the highest power and all military power in his hands.
That is why, for more than a hundred years, no one could shake the power of the Wei monarch. The reason is that he controlled the military power.
However, Gaoyang established a Protectorate, and the Protector of Gaoyang had the power to mobilize his own army. Even though his rank was only second-rank, his power was very great.
Therefore, Song Hongzhi did not need to ask the court for permission to mobilize the army.
Of course, the transfers here are also limited.
The army could not advance into the Central Plains.
mean.
If Song Hongzhi mobilizes a large army and heads towards the Liaodong region of Wei, it will be absolutely not allowed.
But if you go in another direction, it's nothing.
