August 15, 15th year of Xiantong, is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival reunion festival. // Welcome to read // Zhendong Army, who is preparing for the final battle, has to have a day off to celebrate the festival. The battle is about to go to the battlefield, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Jing also generously pulled out a large amount of money and grain from the treasury and distributed it to all the soldiers.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, each soldier received 1,000 yuan, two dou of rice, and ten round cakes, and each person gave him a full set of clothes, shoes and socks. Even ordinary people returned to the cakes for four people, plus two kilograms of rice.

Round cakes are also moon cakes from the Tang Dynasty. Moon cakes originally originated in the Tang Dynasty and were the food of Zhujie for the army. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, General Li Jing won the victory in the Huns and returned triumphantly on August 15th. At that time, a Hu people who were doing business offered cakes to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to win. Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan took the gorgeous cake box, took out the round cakes, and smiled at the bright moon in the air and said, "The Hu cakes should be invited toads." After that, he distributed the cakes to the ministers to taste them together, and from then on, he had the custom of eating cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, it was said that it became a custom to place incense tables and worship the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. When enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, ordinary families would make round cakes. In addition to round cakes, watermelon is also an indispensable item for wealthy families.

In the current year of disaster, ten round cakes and dozens of kilograms of rice are already a great reward for the soldiers. Even ordinary people can get four round cakes and two kilograms of rice, and the people of Dengzhou and southern Liaoning all praise Li Jing.

On August 16th, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zhendong Army began to send troops.

The first to go to the expedition was the eight thousand troops who went south to fight against Wang Ying.

Li Jing was appointed by the emperor as the commander of the army camp in the north and the commander of the army camp in the north and the commander of the army camp in the north. However, Li Jing was unable to separate himself. Between Li Keyong, father and son and Wang Ying, Li Jing finally chose Li Keyong as his personal expedition. As for the army in the south, Li Jing appointed Pei You, the judge of the Zhendong Army, who had rich experience in the navy and had high strategy, as the deputy commander, and actually acted as the chief general of the Southern Expedition Army.

In addition, Li Liang was transferred to Sima, Nanxingxingying, and Li Chun was appointed as the judge of Nanxingying, and Xiao Dingbang, a powerful Sima, Dengzhou, was appointed as the chief secretary of the North Envoy.

The camps in the north and the north were dispatched, and a total of three naval battalions were dispatched. The three naval battalions of Lu Tao, Anlan and Fubo were dispatched, and five infantry battalions were dispatched from the east army. Meghan was the vanguard of the camp, Meghan was the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard

Early that morning, thick fog on the sea began to bloom, and the long-lost red sun rose.

Li Jing personally practiced it for the army and gave wine.

At Dengzhou Port Wharf, tens of thousands of soldiers who went out to fight came to see him off, reluctant to leave.

Pei You was appointed as the commander of the Southern Campaign by Li Jing. He was extremely excited. It was not just this position, but Li Jing's trust in him. Although under him, Li Liang, Li Chun, Xiao Dingbang, even Meghan, Julie, etc. are Li Jing's confidants. Especially Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian, who are also deputy governors, are even Li Jing's confidants, but he is still very grateful. When he went to the expedition, he looked at the white sails that covered the sky in the port, he suddenly felt like a soldier died for his confidant.

"This southern expedition will definitely live up to the entrusted responsibilities of the county government. We will definitely succeed and return with a grand sing!"

Li Jing smiled heartily and patted the father-in-law's arm: "Then I'll wait for your good news, but don't feel too much pressure. This time you went south, called suppressing rebellion, but the main purpose is to open up the maritime trade routes and find a new way out for our Dengzhou trade. You will bring 8,000 people to sea, and hope that you can bring all these rabbits and cubs back in full force by then."

On the dock, the generals and schools in the southern expedition set up incense tables and kneeled down, and the table was filled with pigs, cattle and sheep. After praying, they raised thirty-six death row prisoners from the death cell. A row of executioners stepped forward and cut off their heads with a knife, walked to the front with a bloody head, dripping the blood on the heads on the military flag to sacrifice the flag.

After the flag sacrifice was completed, the Southern Expedition Army officially set off. The soldiers set off in an orderly manner on board, and then the fleet set up anchors and sails, blowing horns and drums to set sail.

Three fleets of more than 300 warships were dispatched. Behind the warships, there was a larger fleet waiting on the sea. When the warships passed, they followed closely behind. This was the huge caravan that had recently assembled from Dengzhou and the major ports in southern Liaoning. More than 3,000 sea ships were loaded with various cargo. The most important ones were the commodities produced in Dengzhou, various white wine, fruit wine, rock sugar, canned food, etc. Secondly, there were various weapons, as well as various furs transported from southern Liaoning, as well as large animals such as cattle, horses, mules and donkeys. In addition, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Even the salt in Dengzhou was transported in large quantities. Although there were salt in the Jianghuai River, the fleet would go directly to the southernmost Annan Jiaozhou. The salt in Dengzhou was the best and would still have sales.

On the second day after the Southern Expedition fleet set out, Li Jing also formally assembled the Northern Expedition troops. All the troops from Dengzhou and southern Liaoning gathered at Duli Port. Then, the Zhenhai Fleet of Li Xu who was left behind Dengzhou and a group of merchant ships transported 28,000 troops to Youzhou.

The Northern Expedition was 28,000 troops, including 10,000 troops in Zhendong, 3,000 troops in Duli, 7,000 troops in southern Liaoning, and 8,000 united soldiers who gathered to undertake the task of logistics and auxiliary troops.

Li Jing, the commander of the army in the east of the Northern Expedition, was naturally the commander of the entire army. In addition, Wang Pu and Wang Chong jointly served as the deputy commander. Li Zhen was appointed as the marching sergeant, Guo Cheng'an was appointed as the judge, Zhang Hong was appointed as the secretary, and Du Zhongwu was appointed as the instructor. He also appointed Li Wei, the general general of the Flying Eagle Camp, as the vanguard military envoy, Wang Chong also served as the commander of the left wing capital, Wang Pu was appointed as the commander of the right wing capital, and Li Jing served as the commander of the middle wing capital. Li Juyi was appointed as the commander of the front wing capital, and Shi Shoucheng was appointed as the commander of the back wing capital. Guo Zhenhai was appointed as the commander of the Youyi military envoy, and Lin Wu was the commander of the Xingying capital.

He also accompanied Qin Zongshou, Qiu Shengong, Li Yuan, Cui Chengxiu, Gao Rong and other generals. The young generals Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang were the ten generals of Li Jing's personal guard camp.

When Li Jing went on the expedition this time, Lin Wei, the deputy envoy of Zhendong Army, who had always been a mature and steady army, was the left-behind general. Dengzhou and Liaonan were guarded by him, commanding 10,000 elite soldiers, plus the 10,000 new soldiers just recruited and 4,000 united soldiers.

Although there were not many soldiers, Li Jing was very relieved. Dengzhou and southern Liaoning were not threatening at the moment. To the west of Dengzhou, Qingzhou was still busy quelling the rebellion of Wang Jingwu, and there were twelve consecutive cities on the border of Denglai, so there were no need to worry about refugees causing trouble. In southern Liaoning, Jilizhou and the Khitans were fighting fiercely, and they could not threaten southern Liaoning for a moment. Moreover, in southern Liaoning, there were four Weiba cities blocking the southward steps of Jili City, one on the left and one on the right, and there were Changxing Islands and Changshan Islands. Li Jing did not have to worry about a fire in the backyard.

The landing land of the army in Youzhou was still at the mouth of the Zhangshui River. However, this time, Li Jing did not choose the territory of Youzhou last time, but chose the territory of Yichang Army on the south bank of Zhangshui. The southern border between Lulong Town and Yichang Town was the Zhangshui River. Li Jing landed directly on the south bank, and it was in Cangzhou of Yichang Army.

I chose to log in here to avoid the possibility of Li Maoxun ambushing on the north bank. Although this possibility is very small, Li Jing has to be careful, after all, Li Maoxun is a crazy person.

The first one to land was the reconnaissance and special operations of the Flying Eagle Camp. They landed quickly in the middle of the night and then established a beach position on the coast. However, the worry did not happen. There were no soldiers on the north and south banks of the Zhangshui River. By the afternoon, the entire army was finally transported to the ashore.

After resting for a day on the south bank of Zhangshui, Li Jing's soldiers began to move forward and re-entered Youzhou on the same day. In the afternoon, they arrived at the Sanggan River, under the Huichang County city on the Jiaojiang Triangle of the Giant Horse Water.

Huichang County is one of the six counties in Youzhou that were seized by Liaoning soldiers last time.

At this time, Huichang County had already known that a large number of Zhendong Army had landed again yesterday. However, the news showed that Zhendong Army was landing in Cangzhou of Yijing Army this time. This made the garrison in Huichang City worry and happy. It would be great that Zhendong Army really went to Yichang Army this time. After all, Huichang had just been stolen, and there were only 20,000 to 30,000 old and 30,000 left in the originally prosperous city.

There was a battalion in the city at this time, but there were only 500 troops in one battalion of Youzhou Army. They had already sent this information to Youzhou City yesterday, but they had not heard a reply yet.

Just as they were looking forward to the Zhendong Army to go to the territory of Yichang Army, at noon that day, countless smoke and dust were raised at the east end of the city, followed by long dragons of troops and horses along the way, with flags like seas, spears like forests, and swords light surpassing snow.

The ten generals Liu Rengong, who heard the news on the city wall, couldn't help but look pale, swallowing tightly, and sweat continued to flow down his forehead.

He reached out to hold the battlement and stabilized his body. He sighed in his heart why he was so unlucky! He was just a tomb robber, but later he was recruited into the army. Because he had the skill of tomb robbery, he also knew some wooden and earth homework, especially good at digging tunnels. Moreover, those who robbed tombs were originally brave people. Last time he followed Li Maoxun to attack Youzhou, he was promoted from the head of the team to the capital, and he was also considered a direct member of the coach Li Dashui.

Then the last time the Liaonan army robbed Youzhou, Liu Rengong quickly arrived with his own people. Although he did not meet the Zhendong Army, they were the first to recover the lost troops. It was because of his contribution to regaining Huichang City and being Li Maoxun's direct troops, he was just promoted to the ten generals of the camp by Li Maoxun. Therefore, he was stationed in Huichang City. Based on the people in the capital, he recruited 400 new recruits, built Huichang Camp, and became the ten generals of the camp.
