Chapter 853 He is here

In the spring of the fifth year of Wenzhi, Xihekou City. This city named after the mouth of the Atlantic River was full of camps and flags and candles. Nearly twenty regular corps of the Liang army, a total of more than 70,000 troops had gathered here. Also in Mulu City, thousands of miles away, the Liang army also gathered eight corpses, a total of more than 30,000 troops.

On this day, on the open space outside the city that was temporarily opened as a schoolyard, the soldiers' practice shouts were shaking. Several senior Liang generals who had gathered here were walking and visiting the soldiers' training while talking about something. Among them were Dian Wei and Dian Qing, two brothers, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Meng Huo, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Ren and more than ten generals. These people were once good generals in Daliang, but now even the youngest ones are close to forty years.

Originally, the veteran Huang Zhong also insisted on coming to this far-reaching battlefield. In fact, he was too old to get on the horse and charge. But Huang Zhong said that he could still shoot arrows and shoot arrows. The most elite legion under his command, the Yangying camp, could annihilate thousands of cavalry before the enemy cavalry could reach his vicinity without moving. But Feng Yu was afraid that his old bone would be thrown into a foreign land and could not return to his hometown, so he flatly refused his request. But he agreed to his son Huang Xu to take over his post and took the legion to Xihekou for thousands of miles.

At this time, Meng Huo said to everyone: "Now, our army at Xihekou alone has gathered 70,000 troops. But why hasn't the imperial court assigned us the commander and commander? When will we march into the hinterland of Sassanid Kingdom?"

His question immediately resonated with everyone. Wei Yan also said, "Yes, it shouldn't be true. Common sense is that this kind of expedition should be appointed to commanders before it has gathered to concentrate on dispatching various matters to avoid causing chaos. But now, tens of thousands of troops are gathered here. However, they are all in their own camps, without the head general, and only the local guard Yan Huai will coordinate and settle. In this way, let alone the expedition of Sassanida, even if we stay still, over time, we will be in chaos."

Zhao Yun said at this moment: "What a person the emperor is? He must have his own reason for doing this. We ministers don't have to figure out his thoughts, just do our duty well."

Seeing Zhao Yun say this, everyone stopped talking about this matter. Dian Qing took the opportunity to turn the topic elsewhere. At this moment, Taishici exclaimed: "Look, there is a fleet of ships in the distance, and there are still many ships, covering the sky."

Everyone looked in the sound, and sure enough, a large number of ships appeared on the skyline south of the sea. Huang Xu asked nervously: "Will it be an enemy ship?"

Wei Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible for an enemy ship. The fleet of Lin Tao's brothers is not a vegetarian. If it were an enemy ship, they would have discovered it long ago, and the warships in the port would have been dispatched long ago. What's more, if the enemy ships are to appear, they may appear in the west and north, and the south is the rear of the body and poison controlled by our Liang Kingdom."

Zhang Ren said in confusion: "But most of Lin Tao's Western fleet are gathered in Xihekou, where do so many warships come from?"

Wei Yan continued: "It is easy to guess this. It must be that the emperor has also transferred other foreign naval masters. If he guessed it well, he must be that the Nanyang naval master of the Gan Ning brothers."

Most of the hour later, warships and warships coming from the south drifted one after another, and the generals gathered at the port to greet them. After inquiring about the soldiers who had landed before, it was indeed the Nanyang Fleet of Ganning. But for more details, these grassroots soldiers were not clear about.

They suddenly discovered that on one of the largest multi-masted sailboats, a giant dragon with fangs and claws embroidered on the huge triangular sail. Everyone was shocked. It is important to know that this dragon pattern is not something that anyone can use. It is a crime of disrespect. Wei Yanye first exclaimed: "Who is so bold! This is a death sentence. Gan Ning is going to cause a big disaster."

But then, they immediately understood, knelt down together, and began to shout long live the mountain. Because from the gangway, a red canopy came, and although the person under the canopy was full of armor, everyone recognized that this person was Feng Yu, the emperor of Daliang. Before, no one of them dreamed that Feng Yu would come to the place thousands of miles away to personally fight. So who should deal with the government affairs in the Central Plains? His Majesty the Emperor was not in Chang'an, would the Jiuzhou in the world be swayed?

"Everything is flat!" Feng Yu, who walked to the dock, said to everyone who bowed. At this time, he was still immersed in the dizziness of the sea trip for more than ten days. Even if he stood on land, he still felt the ground swaying.

When everyone stood up, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask carefully: "Master, why bother to come to this place thousands of miles away from the transcendence? There are so many good ministers and generals in the court, you can just assign someone as the commander. You will leave..."

Feng Yu raised his hand and interrupted Zhao Yun, "No need to say much, Zilong. I know what you are worried about. It must be because I am thousands of miles away from my hometown and I am afraid that there will be changes in the court. But don't worry about these. My eldest son has passed the age of crown prince. Now the Jiuzhou of the Central Plains is peaceful for thousands of miles, and there are not even many bandits in the mountains and seas. The prince is in charge of the Chang'an country, not to mention the left and right prime ministers Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong assist in the administration, so there will definitely be no major turmoil. However, this Persian battle used one-third of my Daliang's military armor. If it is defeated, not only will the national strength be lost, but the Kushan and the poisonous land will be in danger. Sassanthes may even cross the Pamirs and attack the Chief Envoy of the Western Regions. The consequences at that time were unimaginable. So I was worried and personally led the expedition."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun and others seemed to make sense, but this truth was unreasonable. They opened their mouths, but no one continued to question them. After all, Feng Yu was the emperor, so it was inconvenient to ask again.
