Afterwards, everyone knelt down, including the generals and soldiers at the foot of the city and on the city walls, all of them shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor!"
This is the emperor leading the army in person, and no matter who it is, they must be welcomed with the highest etiquette.
This is the majesty of the emperor, which is supreme and cannot be offended.
"No need to be polite."
At this time, Wei Yunyi's voice came from the dragon chariot.
But he didn't come out. He just spoke from inside the car, his tone calm, and continued: "Go into the city."
As the emperor, he was not worthy of stepping down from the dragon chariot just to pick up a group of generals guarding Zhennan Pass.
If it were Zhenbei Pass, the group led by Marquis Shenwu would be about the same.
certainly.
The important thing is that Wei Yunyi doesn’t want to go through all those red tape anymore. It’s a waste of time. It would be better to go directly to the palace.
Because just an hour ago, Wang Jin said that everything in the palace had been arranged.
In addition to being tired from the long journey, he also wanted to have a good rest.
And after he spoke.
Lu An and others quickly made way and stood aside.
In Zhennan Pass, these people are the gods, and they are not to be offended, but now, they are just ministers.
In this way, the dragon chariot slowly moved forward and entered Zhennan Pass.
As for the arrangement of the army.
Wei Yunyi ignored it and handed it over to his generals.
Although he was leading the army personally, he didn't need to do everything himself. Besides, he knew his own limitations and knew he couldn't handle the situation at all. Since he already had subordinates, why should he do everything himself?
"General Lu."
After the dragon chariot enters the city.
Song Gongwen rode his horse and walked over with Lin Yuansong and several generals.
"Hello, gentlemen, and hello, colleagues." Seeing the visitor, Lu An bowed hurriedly with a respectful tone.
The General of Zhennan Pass can only be called a general, not a great general, in terms of rank. He is one rank lower than the General of Zhenbei Pass.
However, even so, their positions in the army are considered very high, and many generals present cannot compare to them. But the problem is that these people all followed Wei Yunyi in person and have the majesty of the emperor.
Only when the army is completely settled can he suppress some people by their rank.
In addition, the cabinet minister Song Gongwen was also present.
A first-rank official in the imperial court.
There is also the title of father-in-law of the country. I am afraid that even the great generals of the Four Expeditions and Four Towns will have to pay their respects when they see him. Although Lu An is called the General of Zhennan, his rank is only the General of Siping.
It is only because of the special location of Zhennan Pass that the word "zhen" is used.
Of course, the position of marshal is an exception.
However, this level can only be held by people who are of great importance in the court, such as the Marquis of Shenwu, who was originally named the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition by Wei Yunyi.
"General Lu, you're welcome." Song Gongwen smiled and continued, "Your Majesty is personally leading an army of 200,000 into Zhennan Pass. It's very likely that you and I will be working together for a while. You are the General of Zhennan, and according to convention, when His Majesty personally leads the army, you will be the lead commander. So, let's make the arrangements for the army."
Those who came with the army to the south town were all garrison commanders drawn from various places, and their ranks were not high.
Wei Yunyi led the army in person and can be regarded as the commander-in-chief.
And when no main general is designated.
Generally speaking, the highest-ranking general under his command will hold this position.
In addition, Lu An is the commander-in-chief of Zhennan Pass and is considered the second most important person in the army.
As for Song Gongwen, he did have a high status and important position, but he was just a civil servant after all, and had basically nothing to do with war.
However, Lin Yuansong, the Minister of War, could participate, but he did not use the decisive fist.
So what Song Gongwen said was absolutely correct.
"I dare not."
At this time, Lu An bowed slightly, said something polite, and then continued: "However, this time, I have already arranged the location for the 200,000 troops to be stationed. If the two adults have no objection, then we will proceed as planned."
After saying that, he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over.
Song Gongwen did not say anything, nor did he take any action.
Arrangement of the army.
He didn't want to overstep his bounds and make decisions.
So Lin Yuansong took the document, took a look at it, and said, "No problem, General, go make the arrangements."
Immediately, everyone discussed some details.
Lu An took his men and began to deploy the 200,000 troops.
As for Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong, they rode their horses and followed the dragon chariot into the city.
"Although General Lu never served under the old marquis, he is a rare military talent. He has guarded the southern border for many years, performing his duties diligently and loyally. In addition, he has fought many battles with the Baiyue people for many years and has sufficient experience."
"Excluding the Northern Territory, Lord Wu Siyue, the Marquis of Guanjun in Gaoyang, and General Zhao on the coast, General Lu is the most powerful. There will definitely be no problem making him the main commander."
On the way, Lin Yuansong glanced at Lu An who was giving orders at the city gate, and said with a smile on his face.
As the Minister of War, although he was not in charge of military affairs, he was certainly very familiar with the generals of the Wei Dynasty.
Nearby, Song Gongwen nodded after hearing these words. "General Lu has extensive experience and a good record. It's a pity that the Great Wei prioritizes defending the northern border, followed by Wusi, and then the southern border. Otherwise, General Lu would have been promoted to the rank of Grand General."
The military focus of the Wei Dynasty is well known. There are eighteen grassland tribes in the northern border, which pose a huge threat.
The general stationed there must not only have a high status, but also be talented.
