"Your Majesty has bestowed upon me the title of Champion Marquis, which means I am the best among all the armies. Now that our Great Wei is under threat, I, the general, must shoulder the responsibility!"
Since childhood, Song Hongzhi knew that there was a blood feud between the Wei Dynasty and the grassland tribes.
He had also heard how many innocent people in the north had died under the iron hoofs of the grassland army.
Whenever he thought of this, Song Hongzhi clenched his fists, thinking that one day he would avenge his humiliation and make those tribes on the grassland pay the price.
So, he had thought about joining the army long ago. And now, he has reached this position, the Marquis of Guanjun, with soldiers under his command, and can control the troops.
Therefore, no matter what, Song Hongzhi will not give up this opportunity!
On the other side, when Chen Xian heard those words, he also took a deep breath.
How could he not know about the blood feud between the Great Wei and the grassland?
I just think we should be cautious at times like this.
But Chen Xian also felt that the more critical the moment, the more desperate he was, and perhaps the more effective it would be.
The grassland tribes originally assembled an army of 200,000 with the purpose of breaking through Zhenbei Pass. Fortunately, they managed to hold it in the end. But what if they hadn’t? What would the situation have been like?
Especially now, they are not in the Central Plains or other regions, but in Gaoyang, which has unique conditions.
I don’t think the grassland tribes would think of this, so no matter what.
Sending troops at this time is the best option.
Therefore, Chen Xian knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "General, I obey your orders!"
After saying this, he did not even turn his head and directly summoned the generals from various departments according to Song Hongzhi's order.
Since preparations had begun long ago, it didn't take much time for Chen Xian to mobilize 30,000 people.
Although their numbers are small, these people are all cavalry. Some of them were transferred from Liaozhen, and some are local people from Gaoyang, so they are very mobile.
And this is exactly what Song Hongzhi planned.
He had to lead his soldiers to attack the grassland tribes as quickly as possible and take them by surprise.
So 30,000 people are enough. If there are more, it will probably delay the marching speed.
It should be noted that Song Hongzhi's plan for this march was not to bring any food or supplies and did not need a rear support, which meant that he had to fight quickly and decisively. Once any problem arose, there would be a series of consequences.
This is what a surprise attack is like. It requires caution and has a low tolerance for error.
soon.
Song Hongzhi, dressed in military uniform, arrived at the parade ground. Looking at his soldiers, he offered no inspiring words or grand speeches, only two words: "Go!"
