Chapter 318 Genius and Madman
Three days later, the Nanmen of Luoyang held a royal oath to quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. Chu Tianya personally took the lead, selected a pioneer and fierce general Yang Zaixing, and led the 3,000 light riders who had just returned from the battlefield of Jiyuan to take the lead. There are also more than 2,000 imperial guards, with a total of 5,000 people.
Compared with the 200,000 rebels on the south bank of Chang'an, this "Wang Shi" is really not enough.
Even if you add the Tokyo people of the veteran Zongzawa's department, you can only piece together 30,000 horses at best.
Because Zhao Huan, an official who wore a military uniform as unprecedented, his calves trembled a little. Looking at the 5,000 roaring warriors like chicken blood in front of him, he couldn't figure it out: Have these people been filled with ecstasy soup by Chu Tianya? Such a disparity in the war is also full of morale!
After sacrificing the gods of heaven and earth and reading the text to boost morale, Chu Tianya drew his sword and pointed, and Yang Zaixing led three thousand light riders to run out like wolves and tigers, rolling up the smoke and dust all over the sky.
Tens of thousands of onlookers in Luoyang cheered loudly, as if they had seen their triumphant return!
"Gun official, let's go!" Chu Tianya came forward to help Zhao Huan in person and said, "The soldiers are fast. The soldiers and the people in Tokyo have been looking forward to the official's personal expedition for a long time, just like a baby looking forward to his parents, and the drought seedlings are looking forward to the rain!"
"Okay...Okay!" Zhao Huan's face was a little ugly, and although he took a few deep breaths, he was still uneasy. When he got on the car, he grabbed Chu Tianya's arm and climbed up. He was supposed to sit back in the car, but he pulled his arm and whispered, "Aiqing, there are many thieves, and there is such a huge difference between the enemy and us... Do I really want to conquer?"
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "The officials can rest assured that our army will win this battle!"
"All of our army have to block ten... Aiqing, it's because I don't have confidence in you, and I can't trust the tiger and wolf division under your command. It's just that the number is too different!" Zhao Huan said from the bottom of his heart, "Otherwise, we'd better delay some days before sending troops!" First, Zhang Bangjiewen calls for bravery, or wait for Liu Ziyu to lead his troops back to Luo, and then make a final determination?
"In the official, there are not many soldiers, but it is to use the law. Although Zhao Gu and others are known as 200,000 troops, I estimate that he has at most two or three omnipotent warriors, and the rest are scattered by the mob. Chu Tianya said, "What's more, their teacher is unknown. As long as the officials and ministers come to the front line, the enemy will inevitably be greatly frustrated and even defeat themselves without fighting. By the way, even if he makes the worst plan, Zhao Gouzhen has 200,000 loyal anti-party people, and Weichen also has enough credit to kill him with this group of elite people under his command!"
"Smile..." Zhao Huan took a deep breath. He has done this kind of thing. At the beginning, in Jiyuan, he watched Liu Ziyu's defeated female horse across the Yellow River. But at that time, Song soldiers were well prepared and had firearms to fight. Now there are really only people, but Chu Tianya praises Haikou with words... Zhao Huan, who doesn't understand war, is scared in his heart.
"Please go to the car!" Chu Tianya didn't want to invalidate him any more. He used a little dark force in his hand, pushed Zhao Huan slightly, pushed him into the car and sat on the chair.
"Wang Shi Kaipu!!"
"Rumble--"
The cannon sounded, and the cheers resounded through the sky.
Chu Tianya turned over and smiled at him, "Your Royal Highness, it seems that the officials are very worried about the success or failure of this battle?"
"Don't you worry, sir? The enemy is ten times more than me. Chu Tianya laughed.
"I'm not worried at all." Shi Liai smiled faintly and said, "The prince can swallow the army of 700,000 femalezhen zhus between his hands. The two-two thousand rebels are in the words again? In this battle, our army will win!"
"Haha, sir, this is blind worship! - Drive!"
Chu Tianya waved the whip and went away, and Tang Ang and A Nu and Qingwei followed closely. A group of people went to Tokyo.
Three days later, Tokyo City.
Zong Ze, a veteran with white hair like snow, seems to have lost a circle of weight recently, and his spirit is not as good as before. In the past few days, the news that the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River have destroyed the city and pointed straight to Tokyo has made the city of Tokyo, which has just calmed down the war. At present, neither the official nor the Taishi are in Tokyo, and the pressure on Zongze, who is responsible for staying behind, is naturally very great. He did his best to organize the military and the people to build the city walls, reserve food and fodder, and prepare for a arduous and excellent "Tokyo Defense War".
When the official and the imperial master left, he was given the task of staying in Tokyo. Zong Ze tried his best and did not dare to let the city be in his own hands.
It's just that he knows that with the weak foundation and broken walls after the war, coupled with the floating hearts of people, the current Tokyo city is indeed a little shaky. What's more, the rebels fraudulently claimed 200,000 yuan, and Zong Ze only had 20,000 guards left by the officials and the imperial master when they left. In addition, he tried his best to temporarily summon more than 10,000 Ding Zhuang and barely gathered 30,000 horses.
30,000 to 200,000, which is too different. What's more, through the last battle in Tokyo, the grain and fodder reserves in the city have long been exhausted. I wanted to be replenished by the area around Huaiyang in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect that there was a rebellion there. Now Zong Ze has tried his best to barely collect enough 30,000 troops to save grain and fodder to support the first half of the year.
How can such a foundation resist the fierce 200,000 rebels? I have sent letters to Luoyang for help one after another, but so far there has been no response. It is said that Jiyuan is still in a war. The Taishi led Wang Shizheng to fight to the death with Zongwang's 300,000 Jurjin army, and he will definitely not be able to pull away for a while.
What's wrong with this?!
Thinking about this matter day and night, Zong Ze's white hair was about to lose half.
Today, Zong Ze climbed to the top of the city as usual and personally checked the city's defense. Suddenly, a small school rushed to surprise and shouted, "Zongfu, Zongfu! Good news!"
"Fraken, what kind of style!" Zong Ze shouted in a low voice, "If you have something to report!"
"Yes..." The small school took a deep breath and finally calmed down his expression. He still couldn't help smiling. "The front is fast to report. The imperial master assisted the official and led the royal master to Tokyo to suppress the rebellion. The army was launched two days ago. It is estimated that it can reach the city of Tokyo in two days!"
"Ah, really?!" A flash of surprise flashed in Zong Ze's old eyes. He grabbed the little school's skirt with both hands and roared loudly, "What you said, is it true?"
"Thousands of truth!"
"Okay, pass the order, and prepare quickly to welcome Master Wang!" Zong Ze was overjoyed, and the young man's face linger.
"Zongfu, the master came to say... Wang Shi didn't stay in Tokyo and went straight to the Luzhou rebels!" The small school said, "As for the master, please allocate 15,000 people and horses, three months of food and fodder and the needed people!" Please still ask Zongfu to stay in Tokyo to prevent chaos from the inside!"
"Ah?" Zong Ze exclaimed in disbelief, "Is the imperial master going directly to Luzhou to fight against the rebels?"
"It's true!" The small school hurriedly took out a book and said in embarrassment, "The last general was in a hurry and forgot to present the teacher's document!" Please have a look at it!"
Zong Ze hurriedly pulled the document, widened his eyes and read it word by word, and his expression became even more surprised and even shocked!
"With only 20,000 horses, Taishi is going to compete with Zhao Gu's 200,000 troops, this! ..." Zong Ze refused to believe it. "I always thought that even if the imperial master personally led a large army to help Tokyo, he would mainly stick to Tokyo. After all, after the First World War, the army in Jiyuan was tired and short of food and grass, and the thieves should not be underestimated. But now, not only did Liu Ziyu's main force not return, but also the Taishi was not ready to defend the city, but also took the official family to Luzhou to directly fight against the front of the thief! This...this!"
Zong Ze, who is deeply military, is a little dumbfounded!
The small school was even more dumbfounded, "Zong Ze, what should I do? The military order of the Taishi has been issued, this..."
Zong Ze's old eyebrows twisted into a big pimple, and he cut his back and forth with his hands, and he was worried.
"Zongfu, how is this..."
"Shut up!" Zong Ze was a little annoyed and shouted, "Beima, I'm going to meet the master!"
"Zongfu, no!" The primary school is also a confidant of Zong Ze. He advised earnestly, "Don't you know the temperament of the master? Such a big event, how can he change it because of what others say? ...In addition, the last general guessed that since the Taishi dared to make such a bold decision, he must be sure of him. Maybe he has arranged another reinforcement? It's better to do what the master ordered and do your job first. There are more preparations, such as collecting grain and grass and recruiting more troops to prepare for backup. If the teacher has other needs, he will also deal with it. Only by doing this can we achieve something! ... If the Zongfu does not obey the order and goes to meet the great master, the last general will not only not please, but also miss the great event!"
Zong Ze was full of excitement, "I was impatient for a moment and almost missed the big thing! ... What you said is reasonable. The master is by no means a reckless and hasty person. His arrangement must have his reason! - Well, I will follow the instructions of the master for the time being! In addition, you might as well run in all states and counties under the rule of Tokyo, and step up the supervision of grain and grass, and call for bravery, in case he needs from time to time!"
"Yes! The last general is going to send the order!"
"Go ahead!" Zong Ze waved his hand, took a deep breath, frowned and looked at the northwest direction where Chu Tianya was. He muttered: A master of art is bold, dare to fight against 200,000 enemy troops with 20,000 troops! ...Master Chu, are you a genius or a madman?
Two days later, Chu Tianya led a large army to Tokyo. Zong Ze personally led 20,000 guards to bring food and grass, folk husbands and other things to deliver to Chu Tianya.
"Zongfu, I'm sorry to bother you." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "The military situation is urgent, so I won't enter Tokyo. The safety of Tokyo is completely entrusted to the clan.
"I'm exhausted, and I don't dare to have a trust!" Zong Ze answered in a low voice, and a trace of sadness immediately appeared on his face, "It's just the prince, there are 20,000 horses..."
Chu Tianya smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him. "Before the army, what he said was frustrated was bad for the army. Zongfu, you just have to calm down in Tokyo. To be honest... 20,000 horses, I think it's too much!"
"What?" Zong Ze's head is big.
"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed loudly, "Zongfu, let's say goodbye! - Order, the army starts, straight to Luzhou!"
The horn and the war drum sounded, and 20,000 kings marched eastward.
Zhao Huan, an official, sat on the dragon chariot and looked at Zong Ze with a bitter face for help. The two battles almost jumped off the car. Looking at that situation, it looks like a little daughter-in-law who was robbed by the mountain king.
Zong Ze did not take care of the officials, so he could only look straight at Chu Tianya and his party gradually moving away, and his heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness: 20,000, to 200,000! Can this... really work?
