In early July.
A horse flew straight into Yangzhou with yellow armour and red tassels.
The strong war horse kept on walking all the way, trampling on the bluestone floor, clattering and leaving.
Stopped in front of Tang Hao''s mansion, the loud voice sounded.
"The holy edict, the whole house kneels to welcome!"
The loud voice rang through the courtyard, and all the personnel in the mansion hurriedly knelt down to welcome the order.
The missionary soldiers held the imperial silk edict with a loud voice.
"According to the edict... The war is imminent. Don''t delay. Order Tang Hao to be the commander of the eastern expedition and command the overall situation."
"The 100000 troops in Chang''an, led by general Yuchi temporarily, have all moved out. Tang Hao must arrange the Navy all the way in three days, and must go to Liaodong in five days!"
Closing the imperial edict, the flying Knight came forward, picked up Tang Hao and threw his hands and fists.
"Congratulations to general Tang on his appointment as commander in chief of the three armed forces!"
"We are waiting for the good news from the general in Chang''an imperial city. Take care, general!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Tang Hao was a little excited.
This battle has finally come!
After a few polite greetings, Tang Hao shook out several East beads from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into the hands of his soldiers.
"It''s been bumpy and hard all the way! After completing the task, I bought some bottles of wine on the way!"
At noon, he sends off the soldiers, and in the afternoon he receives a message from Chumo''s flying pigeon.
The letter said that Chumo had left the imperial city and went to General Yang''s residence in Quanzhou with a mission.
Tang Hao still had some doubts about this arrangement, but in the twinkling of an eye, if he came to arrange it himself, it would probably be the same.
On the second day, Chumo, who was very dusty, picked up his Majesty''s edict.
"Brother Tang, who is general Yan? Is he reasonable?"
After all, I''m going to Quanzhou to meet this boss right away. I should inquire about something. I can''t violate other people''s taboos.
With a light eyebrow, Tang Hao poured a mouthful of wine.
"I haven''t seen him before, but I guess he has a small stomach and likes to compete for merit and profit. I''m afraid it''s difficult to get along with him."
"When you get to the Navy, you''re alone. You''d better be careful."
Tang Hao doesn''t know whether to see people, and Chumo doesn''t know.
However, with the trust honed in the battlefield for many years, Chumo believes that there is a deviation in his judgment, and remembers it.
Looking at Chumo''s dignified face, Tang Hao patted him on the shoulder.
"Don''t be afraid! Although the navy is a subordinate brought out by general Yan, don''t forget that behind us, there are hundreds of thousands of troops standing in the imperial city!"
"Don''t forget the emperor''s command card at the critical moment."
"You can take it with you. I have Wutong here. Don''t worry."
To be honest, Tang Hao is particularly worried about letting Chumo go to the dragon''s pool and tiger''s den alone.
At that time, he was also a general and a new marquis. General Yan dared to make trouble behind his back.
What''s more, now he is just a general like Chumo!
Chumo is not polite either. He bows his hand and thanks.
Compared with these eighteen horses, the guards and soldiers he brought with him were one in the sky and the other on the earth. It''s more secure to have these people around.
They exchanged greetings. Tang Hao specially told Chumo to be careful before sending him away.
Chumo knows the simple truth that the tiger is not in the mountain and the monkey is called the king.
This time he was far away in the imperial city and had no help. His confidants were already on the way to the expedition. The two helpless people had to act according to the circumstances.
The welcoming ceremony of Yan''s residence was particularly heavy. The fat general Yan, with his family''s military division and the school captain in the barracks, lined up at the gate of the city.
Seeing Chumo with 18 majestic guards, general Yan was stunned first, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He has been in the army for many years. Based on his experience, he knows that these 18 are by no means ordinary experts. The posture of holding a knife and the sharp eyes are by no means ordinary people can learn.
In the twinkling of an eye, general Yan returned to normal. A smile hung on his fleshy face and walked up quickly.
"Ouch, general Cheng! Brother Cheng! You''ve made me wait hard all the way."
"Come on, get off your horse and follow me to Yan mansion. I''ve arranged the wine and vegetables. Let''s talk about it."
Between the words, Chumo took Chumo''s arm and led him to the city. As he walked along, general Yan glanced behind him and turned his head and said with a smile.
"Brother Cheng is really a young talent. Even the escort battle is amazing enough!"
Chumo is always frank and straightforward, but Tang Hao reminds him in advance. At the moment, Chumo also keeps an eye on it and smiles calmly.
"Hey! Just some reckless men who have fought several battles through life and death. How can they compare with general Yan, the most powerful commander of the water army in the Tang Dynasty?"
"General Yan, it''s ridiculous!"
General Yan laughed and patted Chumo on the shoulder.
"It''s a great honor for Yan to be praised by general Cheng, a hero among people. Ha ha ha."
"OK, OK! Let''s not talk about this! Let''s go and drink!"
"Today! Let''s not get drunk!"
Chumo is suspicious of this enthusiasm. Is this the first time we meet?
With a touch of suspicious eyes, he looked at the fat general, but his steps didn''t fall at all.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Look at the medicine sold in the general''s gourd!
