Following Song Hongzhi's order.
Gaoyang's army set out.
Many of the soldiers did not know the purpose of this trip.
Some of them even don’t know the main generals well, because some of them are from Gaoyang.
They only knew that the new Protector General of Gaoyang was the Marquis of Guanjun of the imperial court and the man who had destroyed a country in a single battle.
Although he is young, he has made outstanding military achievements and is regarded as a young god of war by countless soldiers in the army.
so.
The Gaoyang people in the army.
Apart from curiosity about the head coach, there is nothing else.
Of course, among the army, those soldiers who were originally transferred from the Liaozhen area had unusual ideas in their minds.
In their eyes, Song Hongzhi's prestige is unparalleled. His first expedition was a war to annihilate a country, and it was fought without any delay. Under this commander-in-chief, they can defend their country and achieve great things.
You must know that in the battle of Gaoyang, many soldiers were rewarded, and their minds and morale were even higher than before.
Even though these people didn't know where the Marquis was taking them, one thing was certain.
As long as you follow Song Hongzhi, you will achieve great things and fight for your country.
More importantly.
Under the leadership of the coach, we will definitely win this battle beautifully.
Everyone is very confident about this.
"My Lord, we now have 30,000 men. We don't know what the situation is like in the Keqin region of the White Bear Tribe. If we were to attack directly, according to previous practice, there would be at least 50,000 grassland cavalry. Now that the Khans of the ten grassland tribes have gathered, there may be even more. If we have layers of defense, it will be difficult for us to break through. Therefore, I think we can formulate some plans while we are on the road."
On horseback, Chen Xian took a feng shui map marking the location of the Keqin area on the grassland and placed it in front of Song Hongzhi.
It is suggested that plans for a major battle should be made during the attack.
In this way.
Even if there are variables at that time, there will be room for relief.
Next to them, other lieutenants on horseback also nodded in agreement. These people all knew the purpose of this trip, so they were very clear that if any problems arose, it would have a huge impact.
After all, there are only ten tribes united in the grassland now. If all eighteen tribes unite in the end, the situation will be out of control.
Fighting a war is not just about sending troops; one also has to consider the impact.
Especially now that Gao Yang has sent troops out on his own without informing the court.
In case of failure.
Or if they completely angered the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland, then what? They couldn't afford it.
"This general has already said that since we're going to war, don't have any other ideas." Song Hongzhi naturally understood what they meant and immediately shook his head. "Your Majesty once said, 'Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows.' It means that when it's time to strike, there must be no hesitation. The grassland tribes will always be a threat to the Great Wei, not an ally."
"In the eyes of the grasslands, Great Wei is an object that can be bullied at will. That's why they invade Great Wei's territory from the south every once in a while, burning, killing, looting, and humiliating the people of Great Wei. Since coexistence between the two sides has long been impossible, there is only one thing to do."
Having said that, he paused for a moment and spoke again: "It's either me or him, it's either him or me!"
Song Hongzhi didn't understand political affairs, nor did he want to understand them.
He is a military general, and was personally conferred the title of Marquis of Champion by the current emperor.
The duty is to defend the country.
Now that the army has set out, no one can shake its will.
Furthermore, in Song Hongzhi's eyes, if the emperor's brother-in-law knew his idea, he would definitely support it.
Since the foreign enemy has always had evil ambitions, there is no need to be polite.
And there is one more thing.
Song Hongzhi knew very well that as long as he could win every battle and join forces with the old marquis of Zhenbei Pass to defeat this grassland army, everything would disappear.
Since you are confident and know that you have the support of your emperor brother-in-law, what is there to worry about?
Next to them, deputy generals Chen Xian and others remained silent after hearing this.
They said before that they wanted to make some plans, but they just wanted to be on the safe side.
But now I know that Song Hongzhi has made up his mind.
He also knew that he could not persuade the other party, and the only thing he could do was to obey orders.
In fact, if it had been before, when the Battle of Gaoyang had not happened, the deputy generals present would definitely not have chosen to follow Song Hongzhi. Even if the other party was the Protector General of Gaoyang and had the power to control the troops, they would have reported the matter to the court.
But after that battle, everyone's trust in him has reached its peak. After all, their current status and official positions are due to that battle.
So they thought that since the order had been given, they could just execute it directly.
And so, the army set out.
After leaving Gaoping City, they headed towards the grassland area as quickly as possible.
Song Hongzhi, as the commander-in-chief of this army, took the lead and walked in front of everyone.
...
Zhenbei Pass.
The situation became increasingly serious.
The high-ranking generals have already received the news that the ten khans of the grassland have gathered.
Even though they didn't know the exact location, everyone knew that the war was about to begin.
Because the scouts sent from inside the pass also gathered information that the grassland army was gathering, and at the same time another army was rushing over.
Obviously, if the grassland army wants to break through Zhenbei Pass, it is very necessary to gather more troops. After all, the previous 200,000 troops arrived at the city but failed to achieve their goal.
