Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 23 The Northern Expedition
Wang Chen and He Meng rushed thousands of miles and arrived in Luoyang City in less than three days.

"Trouble, originally our Dengzhou City is closer to Youzhou, but we have to go back to Luoyang to recruit troops!"

As he approached the capital, He Meng complained a little.

"Brother He, after all, our position is very important. If a coach and a vanguard general don't go to order generals, wouldn't it appear that the two of us are defiant? Wouldn't it make all the soldiers dissatisfied with us?"

Wang Chen smiled, and when he arrived in the capital, he dismounted and walked.

The two directly took the imperial edict given by Yang Guang and arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation smoothly.

In Yangxin Hall, Yang Guang had already sat on the wooden chair early, watched Wang Chen and Wang Chen come in and said:
"Come here, give the two Qing family seats!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Chen and He Meng were not polite anymore, and sat directly on the stool brought in by the eunuch.

"Wang Chen, I heard that you gave up your marriage and went directly to the capital. I'm sorry. Of course, when you return triumphantly, I promise you that I will personally marry you and Yu'er!"

Yang Guang said seriously.

Wang Chen knew that this was Yang Guang's trick to win people's hearts, but there was no shortage of Yang Guang's opponents.

Yang Guang is indeed a tyrant. He has done a lot of things that cost the people and money, and he is also moody. He will eradicate all those who are against him, but it cannot be denied that Yang Guang is still a relatively capable emperor.

"My humble minister thanked the emperor. At the critical moment of the Sui Dynasty, the minister naturally put the state affairs first! How can the minister's private affairs be compared with the state affairs!"

"Hahaha! Good! Wang Aiqing is indeed as the emperor said, she is really a loyal and good minister!"

"Of course, I want you to go to Youzhou, to the north. The main purpose is to resist the Turkic invasion. There is another purpose. I hope that Aiqing can help me form a strong cavalry in the north! Aiqing, can you do it? arrive?"

Yang Guang became a little excited when he said that, indeed, cavalry was a weapon of war in ancient times!
However, the land of China is not so suitable for raising horses. Even if there are horses, most of them are farming horses, and they cannot go to the battlefield at all, and the war horses have to look at the northern Turks!

Why are the Turks so fierce?Not only because all Turkic people are soldiers, but also because Turkic grasslands are very suitable for raising horses. Turkic has many peerless horses!

Turkic troops are basically all cavalry!

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Of course it was impossible for Wang Chen to refuse, unless he was crazy.

"Well, also, Luo Yi, the King of Yan, has always been alienated from me, Da Sui. I have tolerated him for a long time. If it hadn't been for the previous three campaigns to Korea, I would have killed Luo Yi's entire family!"

Yang Guang became a little angry while talking, and patted the armchair with one hand.

"Okay, I'll give you the Royal Gold Medal. From now on, when you arrive in Youzhou, everything depends on your instructions!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, time doesn't wait for me, I will now designate you as Marshal of Zhengbei University! You can go to order troops now, I will give you [-] infantry and [-] cavalry!"

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Wang Chen and He Meng bowed to Yang Guang and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Long Er, what do you think of this person?"

Seeing Wang Chen's leaving figure, Yang Guang suddenly said to himself.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind Yang Guang.

"Back to the emperor, the subordinates feel that although this person looks thin and weak, his strength is terrifying! And the energy and blood in his body is amazing!"

"I didn't ask you these things. He can overwhelm Yu Wencheng, so I naturally know that Wang Chen is very strong!"

Yang Guang frowned slightly, and said displeasedly.

"Damn this subordinate! This subordinate thinks that we still have to guard against him. Although he is the foster son of the King of the Mountain, he is a foster son after all, and even being his own son does not mean that he will be loyal to Tai Sui, so this subordinate suggests that we should not send Long Ba and Long Jiu go to watch?"

"If he turns against Da Sui, kill him directly!"

Hei Ying knelt on one knee in front of Yang Guang, saying in a little panic.

"Well, yes, send Long Jiu. As for Long Ba, I have already arranged him in his team, so you don't need to worry about it. You go and inform the rest of the people to keep an eye on Yu Wenhua and the nobles of Longxi." people!"

Yang Guang's eyes were full of murderous intent when he mentioned the nobles in Longxi!Undisguised killing intent!
"Hmph! These aristocratic families are really the moths of my Tai Sui! I must uproot them!"

"My subordinate understands!"

After the black shadow finished speaking, it disappeared in place.

As if nothing had happened.

Wang Chen and He Meng came to the martial field in a hurry, and spent two days counting troops and generals, making full preparations before sending out, and transporting the food and grass to Youzhou in advance, of course, not too much, after all Dengzhou City has already transported grain to the north, and the grain transport officers are Zhao Guangzhi and others, and their martial arts are also extraordinary, so they can fight casually.

"Generalissimo, the general thought we could send a vanguard to Youzhou first."

At the forefront of the expedition team, Cao Yu rode on a tall horse, with a firm face, and arched his hands at Wang Chen.

Very polite, without the slightest intention of confrontation.

"Hahaha! General Cao's thoughts coincide with this commander's! Is this the one who goes first?"

Speaking of this, Wang Chen looked at Cao Yu with a slightly thought-provoking gaze.

"Hahaha, the marshal was joking, I'm afraid the marshal has already chosen someone in his heart!"

Cao Yu smiled calmly, and said while looking at Wang Chen.

"Hahaha, it's still you, General Cao Yu. This commander has long heard that General Cao participated in the Goguryeo campaign. He once had the feat of beheading thirteen generals by himself, and he is also familiar with the art of war. He is one of the pillars of our Sui Dynasty. material!"

"The marshal praised it. Comparing the feat of the last general with the marshal's feat, it is like the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon. It is incomparable!"

The two started the business exchange mode, and Wang Chen also smiled with pain in his face. This ancient man really knew how to pretend, and he flew up one by one when he was playing Tai Chi!
If I let myself lose the system and enter the imperial court as a civil servant, I am afraid that I will go to get a box lunch in less than three episodes!
"Come on, tell He Meng Pioneer!"

"Yes!"

"He Meng, you were the vanguard general of our army, and now I give you a mission to lead a thousand cavalry to clear the way for the army, and arrive at King Yan's mansion around No.15!"

Although Wang Chen was the head coach for the first time, but fortunately, he had read a lot of miscellaneous books in his previous life, so he still had something to learn.

"The last general takes orders!"

He Meng took the military order and led a thousand cavalry out of the team.

Wang Chen still walked behind with the big troops.

Marching in ancient times is really boring, especially the commander, and basically all infantry, it is impossible to walk too fast, and the marching is probably more than 40 kilometers a day.

It is mainly because of the long-distance march, and most of the roads are not easy to walk, and there is a mixture of civil servants, infantry and cavalry accompanying the army.

"Oh, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to get there!"

At this time in the capital, several ministers of the court and the central government gathered in Prime Minister Yuwen's mansion.

Naturally, the one sitting in the first place is Yu Wenhuaji, and the few ministers sitting in the lower positions are all important officials of the imperial court.

There are Shangshu Zuopushe, Doctor Guanglu, and Taichang Shaoqing.

"Ministers, let's talk about it. The emperor has appointed a brat who has not yet reached the crown as the Marshal of the North! And he is fully responsible for all affairs in the war against the north! To be honest, even the truth now I can't figure out what the emperor means. Already!"

Yu Wenhuaji took the lead in speaking after scanning the ministers.

"Prime Minister, I feel that there must be a reason for the emperor's behavior to change from abnormal."

Yu Wenhuaji was speechless after hearing this, isn't this pure nonsense?

"The emperor is now wary of the truth, and the emperor has been promoting those untouchables all these years. The establishment of the imperial examination has made the children of our aristocratic families lose a lot of opportunities!"

"Prime Minister, according to what I think, the emperor can only promote these untouchables to some relatively low-level official positions these years, and he can't threaten us at all, and this Wang Chen happened to be born in a lowly position, and he is very skilled in martial arts! Don't you want to train this Wang Chen to compete with our family? To compete with us court veterans?"

"Hmph! Your Majesty is just confused! From ancient times to the present, without us aristocratic families, where would the imperial power come from!"

"Master Zhang, speak carefully!"

"The lower official thinks that since the emperor wants to attack the aristocratic family, it's a good time to contact Longxi. They may want Wang Chen to die in the north more than us!"

Yu Wenhua and touched his chin to breathe and listened to everyone's words and nodded non-stop.

"Well, the ministers are right. There are people with the truth in the army, and the truth has placed a lot of people. Hmph, this Wang Chen is a brat with no team. What will he use to fight the truth? "

"Hahaha! Thinking about it, the emperor still has high hopes for Wang Chen, right?"

"Hahaha! It's just a reckless man with no martial arts, and he's just being manipulated by us!"

"How about this, Mr. Wang, you were born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. The truth is that I want you to go for a walk and tell the patriarch of the Wang family exactly what we think today, and let the patriarch Wang contact other aristocratic families. Hmph! When more than half of the scribes in the world oppose Yang Guang, let's see what he can do!"

Yu Wenhuaji said at the end that his eyes were full of ambition.

After all, no one wants to be subdued for a long time!
What's more, he is the prime minister of the dynasty who is under one person and over ten thousand!

Eighteen days later.

Wang Chen finally arrived at the destination of this trip—Beiyuan City after going through untold hardships.

Beiyuan City is not well-known. Although it is very large, it is sparsely populated. After all, it is located on the northern border. The Turks would go south to plunder from time to time. Anyone with a little strength would try to move out of here.

Looking at the scarred city wall, Wang Chen also sighed.

In ancient times, it was not the common people who suffered the most in battles.

At this time, a scout rushed out first and said to the defenders on the city wall:
"Please guard the city gate, we are the Emperor's personal command to conquer the North!"

Afterwards, after the two verified each other, the gate of Beiyuan City opened.

The entire army of [-] troops marched into Beiyuan City.

As for why Luo Yi is not afraid of [-] troops entering his territory, it is naturally because of his confidence in his own strength, and Beiyuan City is not an important place for Luo Yi, and it is very difficult to defend the city because of the Turks in the north.

After Wang Chen entered Beiyuan City, he naturally arranged the team first, and then entered the Marshal's Mansion that Luo Yi had arranged in advance.

The Marshal's Mansion looks a little dilapidated. It is said to be the Marshal's Mansion, but it is actually not much different from ordinary houses.

"This Luo Yi is too much! How dare you treat my Generalissimo of the Northern Army like this!"

Wang Chen didn't speak yet, but Cao Yu angrily patted the table, smashing it to pieces.

"Okay, Superintendent Cao, it's just a bit of a bad environment, heh, Luo Yi, this marshal really wants to meet him!"

"Report to Marshal, He Xianfeng wrote in a letter a while ago that Luo Yi had already arrived in Beiyuan City, so he should come to invite Marshal to a banquet at this time, right?"

"Report! Report to Marshal, Yan Wang Luo Yi sent an envoy, and they are waiting outside!"

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!"

Wang Chen looked at the sword in his hand and smiled.
