Chapter 226
Cheng Cang took a look at the imperial edict and immediately understood.
In the capital, on the grounds that the Barbarian lost the Eastern and Southern Kings and the interior was empty, they ordered the North Guardian Lord to send troops to attack the entire Barbarian tribe.
Moreover, Cheng Cang was appointed an official in the capital, and Cheng Cang was named the Great General of the Northern Expedition, and Cheng Cang was ordered to lead troops to fight.
Xiang Xun looked at Cheng Cang and said, "The water in here is very deep."
Cheng Cang nods.
He has been human in two lifetimes, so he naturally sees the tricks in it.
First of all, the capital ordered the North Guardian Lord's house to conquer the barbarian tribes, which was an opportunity to weaken the power of the North Guardian Lord's house.
After all, as long as it is a war, even if it is won, there will be casualties.
In addition, the barbarian tribe is not a small force, they will also unite the Great Zhou Country, the Great Wei Country and so on.
Even if the North Guardian Lord's house were to defeat the barbarian tribes, they would suffer heavy losses and diminished power.
Then, the capital of the country named Cheng Cang as the Great General of the Northern Expedition, just to take the opportunity of the Northern Expedition this time, murder a person with a borrowed knife.
By the power of the barbarian, get rid of Cheng Cang.
For them, this is a coup.
The North Guardian Lord is a force of the Great Moon Kingdom and must obey the orders of the capital.
Therefore, this Northern Expedition to Barbarian is a must.
Cheng Cang put down the imperial decree and said, "Although I was named the Great General of the Northern Expedition, Liang City is just so small to guard the frontier troops and defend the city. It seems that my name as the Great General is not worthy of the name."
After listening, he immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this. The North Guardian Lord has spoken and will allocate 20,000 Northern Guard Army, which will be under your command."
"North Guardian Lord" Lord is so willing?" Cheng Cang was a little surprised.
He had never even seen the face of the North Guardian Lord, and the other party was willing to allocate 20,000 Northern Guard Army to him, which was a sign of trust in him.
Xiang Xun said: "You are a talent, and the North Guardian Lord naturally wants to let you play your best. You are the Great General of the North Expedition, and you are the army of the middle route. At the same time, there are several other armies that will cooperate with you. action.”
“In that case, many thanks to the North Guardian Lord for me.” Cheng Cang replied.
Xiang Xun came this time to communicate with Cheng Cang.
The northern expedition to the barbarian will take place after ten days.
The 20,000 Northern Guard Army will be drawn to Liang City in the next few days, under the command of Cheng Cang.
After everyone talked about it, Xiang Xun hurried back to Four Directions City to resume his life.
Xiang Xun left, Cheng Cang went to the barracks for a tour, and selected some soldiers to participate in the northern barbarian expedition.
Wang Sheng, Li Liang, Fang Lie and the others are on the list.
He is familiar with these people and can use them with confidence.
"Take me with you." Sun Tiankui looked at Cheng Cang, full of fighting intent.
Who wants to kill barbarian the most, Sun Tiankui is one of them.
"General Sun, Liang City needs you. I can rest assured that you are guarding Liang City." Cheng Cang said.
He would like to bring Sun Tiankui, but Liang City really needs someone to guard.
"Hey, okay, then I'll prepare wine and meat, waiting for your triumphant return." Sun Tiankui is a person who knows the general situation, and he is relieved quickly.
Cheng Cang found Seventh Princess Zhou Jinyan after picking out his soldiers.
Zhou Jinyan also brought news to Cheng Cang.
Her 50,000 cavalry has gone deep into the desert and will soon reach the Black Dragon River.
Then they can drive down, approaching Liang City.
They left the Great Zhou Kingdom under the banner of rescuing the Seventh Princess, which was a long journey.
Seventh Princess was surprised and saddened to hear that her army was coming.
Surprisingly, these cavalry are still loyal to her.
With these 50,000 cavalry, she also has the capital to fight back to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The sad thing is that the 50,000 cavalry left the Great Zhou Kingdom and did not receive domestic support.
Those who wanted to fight for the throne didn't want to save Seventh Princess back, and naturally began to suppress the army.
In other words, this army has no food support at all.
50,000 troops need a lot of food and grass.
The food and grass they carry with them is only enough for ten days.
Ten days later, the 50,000 troops will starve to death once the food and grass are cut off.
Seventh Princess was worried about the 50,000 cavalry's provisions, so she had to ask Cheng Cang for help.
Liang City is a small city, and the food and grass in the city simply cannot support 50,000 cavalry.
To raise 50,000 cavalry, you need to ask Four Directions City for help.
However, Cheng Cang did not ask Four Directions City for food after learning about it.
Cheng Cang revealed to the Seventh Princess some plans for the northern expedition of the barbarian, and told the Seventh Princess about his role as the Great General of the Northern Expedition.
Seventh Princess was moved after hearing this.
I didn't expect the North Guardian Lord's house to be so rigid that he would send troops to crusade against the barbarians.
This battle is probably not easy to fight.
After all, the North Guardian Lord's house is just a house, and the barbarian tribe is a big tribe.
In addition, the barbarian tribe can also control other forces such as the Wei Country.
As everyone knows, this is an order from the capital, and the North Guardian Lord's house is also under enormous pressure.
Cheng Cang advised Seventh Princess, saying: "The North Guardian Lord's plan must not be hidden. After the barbarian tribe knows about it, they will definitely take measures to ask for help from your Great Zhou Country and Great Wei Country. And your 50,000 troops can just be put into the barbarian camp, and let the barbarian tribe solve the problem of food and grass. When the time comes, with your 50,000 iron cavalry as the inner support, we will cooperate with each other, and we will have the opportunity to break the barbarian tribe in one fell swoop.”
"Fantastic!" Seventh Princess's eyes flashed with joy after hearing this.
So, she secretly wrote to the fifty thousand cavalry, asking them to act according to the plan.
Sure enough, three days later, the barbarian tribe was informed that the North Guardian Lord's house would organize the Northern Guard Army's northern expedition.
For a time, the barbarian tribe became tense and fell into a state of preparation for war.
They began to send messengers to contact Zhou Guo and Da Wei Country.
So, very smoothly, Seventh Princess' 50,000 cavalry joined the barbarian tribe.
The prerequisite is to solve their food and grass problems and help rescue the Seventh Princess.
To this, the barbarian tribe agreed one after another.
The 50,000 Great Zhou Tieqi joined in, which can completely make up for their losses some time ago.
Even, their strength has increased unabated.
Seventh Princess heard that her 50,000 cavalrymen successfully joined the barbarian camp, solved the food and grass problem, and finally sighed in relief.
As a result, she was in Liang City and felt at ease.
She will also fight during the Northern Expedition.
After all, apart from her status as Princess, she is still a general who can fight well.
Some people join and some people leave.
After Wang Shiyi went to Dazhou to deliver the letter, he went directly north and returned to Divine Snow Sect.
She is still young and needs cultivation more.
Divine Snow Sect There, with better resources, she can grow faster.
Lan Fei also left.
She wants to go back to the ancestral land of the Loulan family, increasing cultivation base.
Before Lan Fei left, she accompanied Cheng Cang one day and one night, and they didn't even go out.
Lan Fei quietly left Liang City in the early morning, and at noon, the 20,000 Northern Guard Army also arrived in Liang City.
Among them, there are two acquaintances, Xiang Xun and Wu Long.
This army will be led by Cheng Cang.
As soon as the 20,000 Northern Guard Army arrived, Cheng Cang went to meet them.
After all, it was the first time he saw those soldiers, and it was necessary to kill their majesty.
