Chapter 136
Liu Buqi was granted the title of marquis
Originally, Yue Lingxi was still thinking about how to hide it from the Grassland Khanate and the Guannei Marquis and transfer the Youzhou expeditionary army to the Datong section of the Great Wall without anyone noticing.
Now, after being beaten by Xiao Junzi, all these problems were solved!
Just imagine, even if some herdsmen on the grassland discovered the movements of the Youzhou army, by the time they passed the news to the royal court thousands of miles away, and then returned the news to Yue Wuji, I am afraid that the entire Guanzhong would fall into the hands of the joint forces of Youzhou and Tiance Mansion!
This young soldier is truly a rare and fortunate general! Based on this feat, he deserves the most credit for defeating Yue Wuji. Liu Buqi has even appointed him as the leader of the Taiyue First Army!
It is easy to find a brave general, but it is hard to find a lucky general!
I hope this blessed person can bring blessings to the First Army directly under Yue Lingxi!
…
More than ten days after Changsun Wuwo and Yue Hanxin left, they finally brought back news from the prince about a joint attack on Yue Wuji!
Yue Chengqiu is truly the first of this generation of the Yue family to show his talent! He demonstrates his generosity when meeting the demands of Youzhou!
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Madam Liu Feiyu of the Anguo Kingdom, a woman as valiant as any man, personally led the Youzhou army and civilians in the fight against the grassland bandits, achieving exceptional military feats. Therefore, I hereby grant Liu Feiyu the title of Marquis of Anguo, granting her control over Jinzhou, and designate Yue Beichen, son of the Prince of Yan, as his Crown Prince, and record his name in the annals of the Imperial Clan Bureau!"
After Changsun Wuwo finished reading the imperial edict, Liu Buqi didn't react for a long time!
Even Xu Ningmei, Guan Ying, Zhang Ruoxu, Li Huaigu, Lu Qinghou and others who were summoned to the Prince's Palace in Yanjing to listen to the imperial edict were equally shocked!
A woman has never been granted the title of Marquis! Liu Buqi is the first person in history to do so, destined to go down in history!
The first person to react was Xu Ningmei, whose eyes were shining. After she coughed lightly, she pulled Liu Buqi beside her, and everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Lord Liu, I must congratulate you!" Changsun Wuwo hadn't actually expected the Crown Prince to invest so much! Furthermore, he was offering rewards before the battle even began!
But Yue Chengqiu bluntly said that these were nothing but empty titles and empty powers. If he couldn't conquer Guannei Hou, it would be useless to give them to him! Even if he conquered Guannei Hou, it would be useless if he didn't give them to him. So why bother pretending to be so?
It would be better to be straightforward to show the sincerity of Tiance Mansion!
After the decree was announced, accompanied by everyone, Changsun Wuwo entered the inner hall and agreed with Yue Lingxi on the time for their actions.
During this period, in addition to leaving 50,000 soldiers to continue monitoring the migration of Yehe, Wang Changling and Gao Yi had led most of the expeditionary force to secretly gather at the Lushan defense line.
On the other hand, the Tiance Mansion has once again assembled an army of 100,000 and is marching towards the river with great fanfare. In about five days, they will be able to enter the defense line.
According to the spy's report, Yue Wuji is currently continuously dispatching troops to support the river defense line!
In addition to agreeing on a joint time for attack, Changsun Wuwo also made an unwelcome request, which was to borrow troops from Youzhou!
The Datong garrison is also a powerful army in the world. The others are not to be feared, but the Datong cavalry led by Qin Jinguo has caused countless troubles to the Tiance army on the Dahe battlefield.
Except for the fact that Wang Changling supported the Dahe battlefield and won a game by surprise, this female general from Jinzhong has never been defeated!
That's why the prince thought of borrowing cavalry from Youzhou to fight against Qin Jinguo!
Yue Lingxi thought about it and felt that Qin Jinguo's elite cavalry would indeed pose a threat to his side's attack on Guanzhong after breaking through the Great Wall, so he agreed to the request to borrow troops.
But at the same time, it was made clear that the Youzhou cavalry had its own tactics, and the borrowed troops were only responsible for dealing with Qin Jinguo and would not obey the orders of the Tiance army!
Changsun Wumo had no hesitation about this. Wang Changling's cavalry had completely disobeyed the orders of the commander of Dahe and attacked, which was why they defeated Qin Jinguo. It was also an indisputable fact that his side lacked cavalry generals.
Yue Lingxi was originally planning to send Guan Ying with cavalry to support Dahe, but Liu Buqi came up with a better idea.
…
So, that afternoon, Yue Lingxi, dressed as Liu Buqi's bodyguard, witnessed the power of heavy infantry for the first time!
Ever since Liu Buqi returned from the battlefield at the Great Wall, the first thing he did was to invite the skilled craftsman Gongshu Ban from the city of Yanjing to the palace!
This master craftsman who could give disabled veterans a new life was confused by the sudden wealth and luxury, until Liu Buqi took him to observe the heavy infantry equipment, and this man who was usually a bit dull and sluggish suddenly revealed his style as a heavy craftsman!
I have been constantly proposing improvement methods with several disciples, and over the past month, we have seen initial results!
After Liu Feiyan led his troops to defeat the grassland cavalry on the battlefield, he was completely obsessed with this cool heavy infantry. As soon as he returned to Yanjing, he used the power of the King of Yan's brother-in-law to recruit strong and powerful soldiers from all over the country and continued to poach them to join his own team.
Now this heavy infantry has expanded to a full three thousand men! Fortunately, Gongshu Ban mobilized all the craftsmen in the city to forge armor all night long, and only then was this team barely formed!
This time against Qin Jinguo, this heavy infantry, which is still unknown in Taiyue, is like a killer!
So while Yue Lingxi ordered Wang Changling and Gao Yi to lead their troops into the grassland, they hid outside the Datong section of the Great Wall and waited for the attack.
The 20,000 cavalrymen of the Youzhou Canglang First Army were transferred to Yanjing, and Xiao Junzi was temporarily appointed as the manager of the First Army. He led the team to escort Liu Feiyan's heavy infantry to enter the Dahe battlefield together to fight against the Qin women who were no less capable than men!
As for the order given to him, there was only one, "No one in the Tiance Army has any say! After the battle begins, ignore everyone else, cooperate well with Liu Feiyan, and only attack Qin Jinguo!"
So, a "ramming man", a new recruit on the battlefield, rushed into the chaos of the river that was said to have millions of people!
At Liu Buqi's strong request, Yue Lingxi took her and the child to the Datong section of the Great Wall, and the affairs of Youzhou were fully handed over to Xu Ningmei!
The Xu family was full of energy after Liu Buqi was made a marquis. The fact that a woman could be made a marquis was a huge shock to them. Arrogant people, regardless of gender, naturally wanted to give it a try!
As for the reason Liu Buqi gave for going to the battlefield, there was only one: this was a war of siege and seizure of territory. After the war, there were countless tasks to appease the people and rectify local affairs. Relying on these tough guys in the army would only lead to failure!
What's more, in this war, which has all the advantages in terms of time, place and people, the risk to the rear army is extremely small. It is also the best full moon baptism for the young master as a native of Youzhou!
When the family of three arrived at the army camp, Zhang Xiruo, who had received orders from Liu Buqi before, was driving thousands of grassland people who had been looted into Youzhou.
By the time Liu Buqi dismounted, Wang Changling, Gao Yi, Lu Xin, Bai Tuo, Bai Jinjing, Wang Sheng and others, who had not been seen for a long time, were already waiting in front of the camp gate!
"Welcome to the Marquis of Anguo! Welcome to the Crown Prince of Yan!"
