Chapter 223
Liang Hong's worry was right, because the reaction of the northern border was indeed very fast.
After receiving Cao Zhengchun's report, Long Tian immediately called everyone to a meeting to discuss the next arrangements.
"Everyone, Liang State has moved, and the war we have been waiting for for a long time is about to break out."
Long Tian first reported the news, and then began to make arrangements.
"Fan Li, Xun Yu, Huo Guang, you stay in Zhenbei City to prepare weapons and other supplies for the army. I will personally go to Dingyuan City. The battlefield of this battle must be placed in the territory of Liang State."
"Yang Lin, Xu Da, you two will go with me, Jia Xu, Yuan Ba, Dian Wei, you will also go with me."
"Others should do their own work well, don't worry for the time being, stay in Zhenbei City and wait for my arrangements."
There are not many generals in Baijiang City and Dingyuan City for the time being. Long Tian plans to take Yang Lin and Xu Da to supplement. As for the others, Long Tian is worried that there will be changes in other directions of Xia State, so he will stay for the time being.
National wars require not only sufficient troops, but also commanders and generals. Long Tian does not have many people under his command at the moment. The Ten Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are with Li Jing to deal with Zhenzhou.
Long Tian made such arrangements mainly to deal with the Jin Kingdom in the future. Whether attacking or defending, a general who can stabilize the situation must be left.
The Five Tiger Generals helped Bai Qi to clean up Danzhou and Yunzhou, and they are temporarily unable to get away. This is related to the system task.
The five sons and good generals are now divided into various places, and only Zhang Liao is in Baijiang City.
The rest are martial arts masters, and they are good at fighting alone, but when it comes to commanding a large army to fight, except for Song Que, the others can basically not help.
The war is about to begin, and it will not end in a short time. Long Tian must find a way to summon more generals.
Fortunately, there are continuous tasks in the system hegemony. Every time a state is recovered, you can get a chance to choose.
As long as Wang Jian, Li Jing, Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Xue Rengui and others act quickly enough, these problems will be solved.
Everyone had no objection to Long Tian's arrangement.
This battle will be a protracted war. If the battlefield can be limited to the territory of Liang State, it will be the best for the North.
That night, Long Tian led all the generals, many masters, and 100,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the recovered 500,000 Jeju Army, and set off for Baijiang City.
After a night of marching, Long Tian felt that the army was marching too slowly. In order not to miss the opportunity, Long Tian decided to leave Yang Lin and Xu Da to command the army, and he took the Guanning Iron Cavalry to Baijiang City first.
The speed of the cavalry is fast, and Long Tian's 100,000 troops quickly arrived at Baijiang City.
Today's Baijiang City is in a state of panic, and ordinary people can hardly be seen. There are mobilized troops everywhere.
Long Tian did not see Han Xin, and knew that Han Xin went to Dingyuan City. He guessed that Han Xin and he should have the same idea, so Long Tian did not stop and continued to rush to Dingyuan City.
After a long journey, Long Tian finally arrived at the destination of this trip.
"The generals and others greet the prince."
Han Xin, Zhang Liao, Li Cunxiao and other Zhenbei Army generals went out of the city to greet them.
"You have worked hard. The war is imminent. No need to salute."
Long Tian had not seen a few people for a while, so he quickly asked them to get up.
Soon, everyone came to the Dingyuan City Lord's Mansion, which would be the northern border command center of this war.
"Prince, as of now, Liang State has no signs of going to war and is still accumulating supplies."
"But this time will not be too long. Liang State has come with a large army and cannot wait too long."
Han Xin reported.
With so many troops, the daily consumption is huge. It is impossible for them to come to the South Courtyard for a few days and then go back.
"Liang State must make sufficient preparations before going to war. Once the war starts, this battle will probably decide the outcome."
Long Tian understood that Liang State was going to take every step carefully and fight a war at the level of destroying the country.
Unlike the previous minor fights, sending hundreds of thousands of troops to fight both sides will not hurt each other, and the logistics preparations will naturally be similar.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the battlefield be placed in Liang State. We don't have to wait for Liang State to take action, but take the initiative to launch the attack."
Han Xin spoke again.
"Yes, this is exactly what the king decided. In this battle, we are not defending, but attacking, and strive to take down Liang State's South Courtyard and teach Liang State a profound lesson."
Sure enough, the two people had the same idea.
"Your Majesty, if we want to completely defeat Liang State in this battle, it will be difficult to do it with our current military strength."
This is the only thing Han Xin is worried about.
Dingyuan City, together with Baijiang City, has a total of 800,000 Zhenbei troops, and Long Tian brought another 500,000, which can be trained while fighting, which can be used.
Together with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, there are only 1.4 million, but the enemy to be faced is as high as 7 million. Even if the Zhenbei Army is elite,Individuals are strong in combat power and have high cultivation. Even with such a huge gap, it is difficult to defeat the Liang army.
Moreover, the weapons of Liang are not weaker than those of the Northern Territory.
Once these weapons are used, especially the black iron arrows, this is the biggest threat to the Zhenbei Army.
In terms of generals, there are not many people in the Northern Territory, and it is difficult to form an overwhelming advantage.
"It doesn't matter. I will find a way to deal with the troops. You only need to be responsible for command."
"In addition, this battle is not fought by us alone. The barbarians will also help."
Thinking of the barbarians, Long Tian is still very pleased.
Huo Qubing's ability is really suitable for the grassland.
In just over a month, Huo Qubing relied on the 100,000 troops in his hands to fight a barbarian cavalry of 800,000.
That was a warlike and barbaric barbarian tribe. Huo Qubing was able to defeat, recapture, integrate, and form combat effectiveness in such a short time. This is not an easy thing.
At least Long Tian believed that he couldn't do it. Not only himself, but also Yue Fei and others would find it difficult to do it.
This is because everyone has different specialties.
In this way, with the 300,000 troops left behind, Huo Qubing directly controlled 1.1 million barbarian cavalry, plus the 600,000 taken away by Yuwen Chengdu, that is 1.7 million.
Excluding the troops left behind, Huo Qubing and his men could mobilize at least 1.5 million barbarian cavalry. Once this force entered the territory of Liang, it would be disastrous.
If they were not controlled, these people could turn the Liang State's South Courtyard upside down, causing countless casualties.
However, with Huo Qubing and Yuwen Chengdu, Long Tian believed that they would not commit murder.
There are also Wei Qing's 100,000 Han cavalry, which is absolutely elite. With the Guanning cavalry, Long Tian believes that it is enough to deal with the offensive of Liang this time.
Having enough food in hand means there is no need to panic. This is Long Tian's mentality at the moment. He is thinking of making great plans and having a good fight to let the people of Xia country see whether they still have the confidence to fight against the current strength of the North.
