Chapter 470 The Northwest King of the Northern Tang Dynasty
I highly sought recommendations and monthly tickets.
The weather in Jiuzhou has been very pleasant these days, but it has been raining heavily in the northwest of Dongzhou.
A large number of people were wearing straw raincoats and rushing to the northwest of Dongzhou.
In the passing place, countless people from Xiliang glared at these people with angry and helpless eyes, because these people were Hui people from the Northern Tang Dynasty, and they destroyed the Northern Tang Dynasty in Xiliang.
He was less angry and more helpless, but more of the tumultuous acceptance of reality. The Western Liang Dynasty has been in a military state for many years, and the people of Baihui are poor, so he may not really care about the original political power. If he really belongs to the Northern Tang Dynasty, it is actually more beneficial to the people of Baihui.
This group of people rushed to the northwest with a very targeted goal, which was the border between Dongzhou and Beizhou.
"This rain is endless. It's really boring."
Yan Zichou wiped his face with a frown. The autumn rain was turning into coldness, and this heavy rain seemed to be a sign of the cold weather: "Brother Zhong, we might as well speed up our journey, otherwise it will be even more troublesome when the climate becomes cold."
Zhong Yunji tidied up his straw raincoat and blocked the rain, agreeing: "Yes, let's hurry up!"
Without saying much, the two waved their hands and followed the large number of people following behind quickly, and they couldn't help but curse: "What did Xiliang do in so many years? This road is so bad that it is so virtuous. If it is in my Northern Tang Dynasty, it will be bounced back and impeached."
These large numbers of people followed one after another. Although they were dressed in casual clothes, they could also be seen from the temperament of everyone. These people seemed to be from soldiers, and most of them had been on the battlefield. It is obviously easy to distinguish between soldiers who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield.
Several knights who were like scouts quickly returned from the front and reported the situation ahead. Then, Zhong Yunji waved his hand and signaled that several knights quickly stepped forward to investigate.
This group of knights galloped wildly, crossed the mountains, and soon came to the field, so they simply rode their horses and galloped.
A few days later, it gradually approached a certain place in the northwest.
The scouts in front arrived and said happily: "General Yan, General Zhong, there will be Guishan City in another fifty miles." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This was about to arrive at their destination.
It was not far away, so I no longer rushed to the road. I slowed down my horse's speed and replied in silence. A knight stepped forward: "General Yan, what kind of person is General Wang?"
Yan Zichou smiled and scolded his subordinates: "If you ask me, how can I get familiar with him!" After a pause, he looked at Zhong Yunji: "General Zhong? Why don't you say that, let everyone know our boss."
Zhong Yunji pondered for a while: "Brother Yan, you have been garrisoning in other places. I believe you have heard of Commander Wang Daming." Most of the people nodded. Although they were from various prefectures, they must have heard of this name.
"Mr. Wang Ce is a child of the Northern Yai Dynasty and has entered the Southern Yai Dynasty. I don't need to say this." Zhong Yunji smiled and said, "The name of Commander Wang returned to the city in Beijing, especially a few years ago. He did a lot of big things that year."
Zhong Yunji and a very small number of people who came back from Beijing to the city, couldn't help but express their emotions: "General Wang went to Beijing alone to quell the rebellion, and that courage..." Zhong Yunji raised his thumbs up: "It must be this."
"Your Majesty favors General Wang. General Wang returns to the city in Beijing. That reputation..." Zhong Yun smiled and said, "It is not very good. He turned his face back to the reputation of turning over books. Everyone knows when he returns to the city."
"I think it's better to say that General Wang is the one who has worked with General Wang, and he is the most familiar with him."
Everyone's eyes immediately looked at one of the men who were taking off their hats.
...
...
Wang Danian wiped the ice rain, and was shocked to bear the eyes of everyone, and gritted the bullet and smiled: "Mr. Wang is an extremely smart person. I have worked with him for half a year, and no one can deceive him."
"Well. I heard that he is as cunning as a fox, and I don't know whether it is true or false." Yan Zichou seemed very curious.
Wang Dainian thought about it and seemed to say carefully: "Everyone who underestimates Lord Wang is in trouble. There is only one thing, the adults are a little lazy and don't like to ask about official affairs. However, although he is less concerned, he knows everything and no one can deceive him."
Yan Zichou and others' eyes showed a slight slight roar. Everyone could hear the slightest warning in Wang Dainian's words.
A knight seemed to smile and said, "Mr. Wang is from two yamen, so his name is naturally amazing. However, it is two yamen, and it is different from governing the army."
"That's not necessarily." Wang Danian sneered at the eyes and proudly raised his waist: "Don't forget that before the rebellion was put down a few years ago, General Wang led the Beiwu army back to attack thousands of miles and rushed to his Majesty to help." He emphasized the suffix of the general.
Looking at the group of knights coldly, Wang Danian sneered proudly: "Whether the lord returns to govern the army, the subordinates don't know. However, the lord is good at governing people and employing people. No matter where you come from, under the lord, you must be a human being with your tail."
"My Nanya was not convinced when the Lord first entered the Nanya. But what happened later? Now from top to bottom, who doesn't want Lord Wang to succeed Lord Xu? Who dares to speak evilly with General Wang? Hehe..."
Don’t think that Wang Danian doesn’t understand the thoughts of these soldiers. It’s just that he is dissatisfied with Lord Wang. Who dares not accept Lord Wang, Wang Danian is the first to refuse to agree.
Wang Danian sneered, rode his horse in front, and a cold voice came: "Then I, Nanya, can't forgive me!"
Many knights were silent, perhaps thinking, perhaps sneering, perhaps disapproving, or perhaps feeling shocked.
"General Yan, you're familiar with General Wang when you see General Wang." Zhong Yunji smiled, with a hint of warning in his expression. When he came, he understood his own mission very well. He was not supervising Wang Ce, nor even assisting Wang Ce.
Instead, he was mixed with Wang Ce and these elite soldiers and generals, and when necessary, he suppressed these powerful generals. This was what his Majesty revealed when he summoned him alone before leaving the capital.
Emperor Tang issued an order, and Wang Ce left the northwest of the town.
Because Wang Ce's previous rank was the fourth rank, he was in charge of the fourth rank. It was too hasty to be appointed as the Grand Commander, and the ministers in the court strongly opposed it. Emperor Tang decided to add the position of commander in the army, and Wang Ce would serve as the commander of the Northwest.
The Northern Tang had fewer troops, and there was no military unit between the town and the prefecture before, and there was no need for this. Therefore, compared with Dalu, Dalu's governor was the second rank, while the Northern Tang's governor was only the third rank.
This is a decree that is beneficial to the interests of the military. On the premise of expanding the army in the Northern Tang Dynasty, there are also practical combat needs, so it is difficult for the ministers to deliberately oppose this appointment.
Therefore, Emperor Tang added the position of Grand Commander this time, and Wang Ce was appointed as the commander of the Northwest Commander.
At the same time, considering that there is no war in the northwest, when Wang Ce's new appointment came out, the resolution to be abolished by the Northwest Prefecture had been passed.
In this way, I can understand that the officers such as Yan Zichou are not convinced, and even dislike Wang Ce's mood. The Northwest Prefecture just leveled the Western Liang Dynasty, and you, Wang Ce, relied on the emperor's favor, picked other people's fruits. What is this?
In particular, Wang Ce was a senior official of the two yamen before and had never been a military commander. There were many precedents of officials from the two yamen who had transferred to the military, but basically all started from the general leader.
For example, when Wang Ce transferred to the military and commanded tens of thousands of troops, this is the first in the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty. What is even more incredible is that Wang Ce served as the highest military commander in the northwest.
This decree has been announced for almost three months, and the aftershocks in the Northern Tang Dynasty are still difficult to eliminate.
Because there is another order in this decree. Emperor Tang approved the two yamen to temporarily add a commanding commander and promote Wang Ce to commander and commander of the two yamen. Another step is the commander. It is estimated that Xu Chonglou and Zhu Xiangru both felt that the chrysanthemums were itchy.
From this decree, both the ministers and the people clearly realized at a glance that a warlord spanned the three fields of intelligence, military and force was born.
Whether nominally or in fact, Wang Ce was the Northwest King of Northern Tang.
...
...
Emperor Tang seemed to think this was not shocking enough, so he personally named the name and drew elite soldiers and generals from the eight prefectures to Wang Ce's Northwest Army.
Yan Zichou was the one who was drawn from the eight prefectures. They were all middle and senior officers with a long history and outstanding record. To be honest, almost all of these people were excellent generals, so it was appropriate not to accept it.
Yan Zichou and others sneered, full of gloating: "I don't know how the battle in the Sin City was fought. 20,000 to 200,000, the commander of the Northwest Grand Grand? It's only if you have the will to sit."
I don’t know how many people who were determined to watch jokes were besieged by 200,000 coalition forces. With their military qualities, it was clear that Beice Prefecture was over.
However, these officers were on the road, so they had never known the result of the Battle of Sincheng. They even more did not know that the whole dynasty had a strong intention of opposing it. After the result of the Battle of Sincheng was introduced to the Northern Tang Dynasty, the civil and military officials of the court had completely lost their voices at this time.
Fifty miles away, I came to Guishan City.
This place is becoming a large military camp and a military fortress, and a large number of civilians are building city defenses.
As soon as he came to this side, when he saw the officers who arrived here first, Yan Zichou and other large numbers of officers seemed to be carelessly asking about the Battle of Crime City.
Fortunately, this side is already bordering Beizhou, and news has been heard. The general manager has a strange expression on his face: "Do you don't know yet?"
Yan Zichou suddenly felt something was wrong: "What do you know?"
The chief general scratched his head and looked even more weird: "The Battle of Sin City ended about half a month ago!"
An officer laughed and gloated, "It must be Wang Ce who won, 20,000 to 200,000. How can he be qualified to be the commander of the Northwest Grand Grand if he doesn't win?"
Many of the officers who had just arrived burst into laughter: "Yes, he must have won."
The chief executive almost laughed, and his face turned very strange when he held back his smile.
As if they noticed the strangeness of the general, everyone's laughter gradually became lighter until it dissipated and there was no more laughter.
Yan Zichou locked his eyebrows and felt more and more wrong: "You said!"
"Yes, General Yan." The general said seriously: "General Wang Ce really won. Not only did he win, but he also won very beautifully."
Many officers almost thought he was joking, and the general continued: "In the Battle of Sin City, General Wang wiped out 200,000 coalition forces, but less than 30,000 coalition forces escaped."
The officers' regiment suddenly couldn't laugh, Yan Zixu opened his mouth wide and couldn't close for a long time. 20,000 to 200,000, can he wipe out the enemy's entire army?
The chief executive couldn't help laughing: "You guys are thinking a little bit wrong. General Wang used 200,000 battle spirit troops as a surprise weapon to wipe out the coalition forces in one fell swoop."
"What's 200,000?" Yan Zichou and others almost thought they had heard it wrong.
The general leader clearly pronounced words and said three words one by one!
"Fighting the Spirit Army! General Wang Ce's Fighting the Spirit Army!"
Perhaps it should be said that the Battle Spirit Army of the Northwest King of Northern Tang!
Chapter completed!
