Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Gao Guiyan's idea was to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, but as soon as he proposed it, he immediately received the voices of several princes and ministers.

Security is a scarce resource that everyone needs. In the past, when Northern Qi was at its peak and had few rivals of equal strength, the need for it was not urgent, but now that it is attacked by a strong enemy, the sense of crisis has naturally increased sharply.

Although Heluo will invest 100,000 troops to stop the Wei army, the outcome is really unpredictable. Once the situation Gao Guiyan said occurs, it will be a huge threat to the safety of Yedu! Even if the probability of occurrence is small, as long as it is possible, it must be taken seriously!

It should be noted that Yedu does not have an excellent geographical advantage like Jinyang. Its city is located on the flat and vast Hebei Plain, and there are few mountains and rivers around it. If there is no strong garrison force guarding here, once the enemy lands in Hebei somewhere in Henan, the turmoil caused to the situation around Yedu will be catastrophic!

Even Jinyang City, which was heavily guarded and blocked by mountains and rivers, was invaded by Li Boshan, who robbed it and left!

Jinyang was indeed the largest military town in Northern Qi, but Yedu was also the real capital and administrative center. Once Yedu was attacked, the rule of the entire Northern Qi country would be shaken. Moreover, the family businesses of the Gao clan princes and ministers were all in Yedu, and of course they hoped that the safety of Yedu could be guaranteed.

It was not difficult for Northern Qi to recruit 100,000 troops. Although the results of several wars a few years ago were not ideal and a large number of troops were lost, Northern Qi controlled the most densely populated area in the world, and its foundation was strong and could withstand the tossing, otherwise it would not have continued to maintain high-intensity conscription in the past two years.

However, it is still difficult to assemble 100,000 divisions in a short period of time. It takes a certain period of time to summon troops in Jizhou. There are tens of thousands of Han warriors stationed in Youzhou and other places, but if these troops are recalled to the mainland, it will cause loopholes in border defense. Kumo Xi and others have always been disrespectful. If they realize that the border defense of Northern Qi is empty, they will surely take advantage of the situation to invade.

After counting, the most convenient and quickest way to get these 100,000 divisions in place in a short period of time is to directly recruit Jinyang soldiers. Jinyang soldiers themselves live directly in a number of military cities around Jinyang. They can be dispatched with a written order, eliminating the process of summoning and recruiting again. Moreover, as the most elite force group in Northern Qi, Jinyang soldiers naturally cannot be absent from such a war.

However, the total number of Jinyang soldiers is only a few hundred thousand, and not all of them are on standby. They still bear different garrison tasks and guard various parties. In fact, Jinyang can only directly mobilize more than 70,000 or 80,000 people. If we consider that Jinyang itself also needs to keep a part of its troops stationed, then the troops that can be mobilized at present will be even less.

"This battle itself is a gradual attack, not a sudden attack. At present, the divisions between Heluo are enough to hinder the advance of the Qiang division. We can gradually increase the troops after seeing how the battle situation develops. The Jinyang division can send 30,000 troops first, and the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers led by me can go to Heyang for garrison. Later, we can gradually recruit troops and gather them in Ye City to wait for the follow-up. It is not too late." Duan Shao certainly did not agree with Gao Guiyan and others' proposal that all troops must be in place immediately. In this incident, they, the Northern Qi, were passive in responding to the enemy. They were in the backhand in preparing for the battle. They could recruit troops step by step and in an orderly manner. If they were too hasty, it would cause a lot of unnecessary disturbances to the country. "Yes, the Xu and Yan armies gathered to fight, which was originally effective in trapping Hulao and preventing the enemy from fleeing eastward. If you are worried about the instability of Yedu, the Jinyang army can go to Pingyang first. If the battle in Heluo is really unfavorable, the soldiers and horses can go east to Fukou along the Wusu Road. It is not too late!" Although Zhu Hunyuan often murmured in his heart every time he fought with Li Boshan and always couldn't help but make conservative plans, he also felt that there was no need to worry too much about the safety of Yedu before the battle in Heluo was decided. Although Li Boshan used troops like a god, he was not a god after all. Even if he won another victory in Heluo, it would be difficult for him to lead the army to cross the Yellow River and enter Hebei. The troops in Jinyang can go to Jinzhou first to wait for orders. It is not too late to attack if the situation is not good. But before he finished speaking, Huluxian, who was a bit angry with him today, spoke again: "If it is necessary to send a large army to Jinyang, we should make plans early. Stopping in Jinzhou, neither advancing nor retreating, will only increase worries. Moreover, the old disaster in Jinyang cannot be forgotten. Turkic Wuzun Khan has relied on the power of Qiang. It is unknown whether he will take the opportunity to attack this time. King Fufeng wants to send troops to Jinyang to occupy an idle place. What is his intention?"

"Then what do you think my plan is? Your father raised you for many years, but he never taught you who I am?"

Anyone who is squeezed repeatedly will inevitably feel uncomfortable It was great, not to mention that Zhu Hunyuan was of the same generation as Hulu Jin. When he heard Hulu Xian's words, he could not help but get angry. He stared at Hulu Xian and said angrily, "Back then, I entered the country for justice and traveled thousands of miles without any complaints. Although the black otter was fierce, it could not stop me. Now, I am not tolerated by the little boy Hulu and hurt me with evil words!"

When everyone saw this scene, they hurriedly spoke out to persuade him. Duan Shao stepped forward and grabbed Hulu Xian, who was still about to refute with a glare, and pulled him out of the hall, which temporarily calmed the quarrel.

But today's meeting was destined to be not peaceful. Just when everyone was still discussing the details of recruiting troops and garrisoning, another urgent report was suddenly sent to Ye Palace: Xu Du of the Southern Dynasty led his army to cross the river from Jingkou to the north and led his army to harass Guangling.

At this time, only half a month had passed since Sima Xiaonan rebelled in Juzhou. Even if the Western Wei Dynasty conspired with Nan Chen, the time was simply not enough. Therefore, Nan Chen's invasion must be based on his own ideas, which makes it even more troublesome.

Since Nan Chen took the initiative to invade the Huainan area, it means that there are no other disturbances in the country that are interfering with his military operations. It also reflects Nan Chen's desire for the land of Huainan. As soon as the situation in the country eases slightly, he will cross the river immediately. commit.

Therefore, it means that if Nan Chen knows more about the current situation in the north, he will definitely invest more troops in the invasion, hoping to regain the territory of Huainan while Northern Qi is overwhelmed.

Now Feng Zihui, who was currently in Xiapi as the Minister of Xingtai of the Southeast Road and the Governor of East Xuzhou, reported to the court, hoping that the court could mobilize the armed forces of Qingxu and other states to station in Pengcheng and other places, so as to prevent the southerners from invading the areas in Huaibei.

When this situation was reported to the palace, everyone in the palace looked at each other in shock. Originally, they were planning to transfer troops from Shandong to Henan. However, before the recruitment order could be issued, Nanchen had already invaded Huainan. This immediately gave people a sense of embarrassment that they were stretched thin and the wall was falling.

However, this cannot be blamed on Nan Chen, not to mention that there is no morality between countries. The Northern Qi took advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty to coerce, oppress and invade the Southern Dynasty very seriously. Now that he is no longer strong, it is natural for him to be retaliated against.

"A mere island barbarian actually dares to invade a great country!"

After Gao Yang heard this situation, the emotions he had been suppressing suddenly became a little uncontrollable. He slapped the case and roared angrily. When his eyes fell on the faces of the officials in the palace, he shouted angrily: "No matter what. What kind of private plans do you have? Now Qiang thieves and island barbarians are attacking me one after another. If we can't defeat the enemy, your wealth may not last long! My torture sword may not be able to reach the leader of the thieves, but it will kill the incompetent people in our country. Not bad at all!”

"I will do my best to defend the country and serve the country!"

After everyone heard this, they all kowtowed.

Because there was another variable such as Nanchen's invasion of Huainan, although it was not enough to affect the core fundamentals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it made the deployment of troops south of the Yellow River somewhat inconvenient. So when we made further plans, the scope of the deployment and deployment of troops could only be limited to Hebei and Jinyang.

First, Jinyang mobilized 50,000 troops to rush into Hebei. Twenty thousand of them were stationed in Yedu to assist the Forbidden Army in strengthening the defense of Yedu. The others, led by Duan Shao, went straight to Heyang to strengthen the river defense. The number of men and horses below Heyang that can be put into battle has also reached 120,000.

At the same time, Jizhou, Dingzhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou and other places in Hebei Province will subsequently recruit 100,000 troops to continue to reinforce the front line and defend the two capitals separately. As Jinyang's army was transferred away, its defenses were inevitably empty. Qi Lord Gao Yang moved to Jinyang to take charge, while Changshan King Gaoyan led the governor of Gyeonggi to stay in Yedu.

As the plan to deal with the enemy was finalized, various orders were quickly issued. After signing several important military orders, Qi Lord Gao Yang returned to the inner palace to prepare to move to Jinyang.

After exiting the East Pavilion, Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, who had been insignificant in the previous meeting, caught up with Gao Yan, walked up to him and whispered: "Sixth brother, did you really look like you were drunk when you saw the prescription prepared by Xu? Simple?"

Gao Yan's expression suddenly froze after hearing this, and then he frowned and said: "I don't understand medical science, so how can I know the truth? Besides, I was so worried at the time that I couldn't see anything. Now that a powerful enemy is coming, people in the country are panicked. , you must also remember not to be willful!"

After Gao Zhan heard this, he laughed in a low voice and said: "How dare I do something rash? Even the Supreme, he thought that our two brothers were strong and brave and had nothing to fear in this world, but in the end we were forced to run away by the Qiang thieves. Your Majesty, the army is about to fight in Heluo. What is there in Jinyang worth guarding? It’s nothing more than leisure and security there!

Haha, I think it's a little biased for you and others to just talk about the war situation in Heluo? Li Boshan's message has not yet been issued, who knows where he will attack? If I were him, knowing that the people here have gathered in Heluo, why bother to come again? Wouldn't it be better to attack Jinyang instead? Could it be that Li Boshan is related to Sima Xiaonan and must come to rescue him? "

"You should talk less. I'm feeling depressed today, and I have to patrol and arrange the defense of Gyeonggi!"

Gao Yan knew that his younger brother had a wild mind, sometimes very shrewd, sometimes very absurd, so he didn't take his gossip to heart, waved goodbye and returned to his official residence.

While he was summoning the Gyeonggi Imperial Guard generals to see him, he frowned and pondered again. He picked up the brush on the case and put it down. Finally, he wrote quickly and then quickly folded the paper and summoned his confidants to stuff the paper. Putting it into his hands, he whispered: "Give it to Dr. Wang and watch him carefully to visit the market."

After finishing this, Gao Yancai wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to sit in the hall and wait.
