Chapter 387 Everything in the world, What Your Majesty gives you is yours
Bing Province, Jinyang.
After more than ten days of trekking, Lü Bu led Han Army and finally arrived at Jinyang City guarded by Zhang He.
Zhang He had already learned the news that Imperial Court was sending troops to the west to attack Ma Chao, so after the army arrived, he went out of the city to greet him in person.
The mighty Han Army came from a distance like a tide, and the movement caused by the march made the earth tremble.
Even though he knew this was a friendly force, Zhang He was still shocked from the bottom of his heart when he saw such a scene.
"I didn't expect that only half a year has passed, and Imperial Court's troops have become so powerful."
Zhang He couldn't help but sigh to Chen Gong beside him.
This time the crusade against Ma Chao took a whole Eighty Thousand Troops. If the Twenty Thousand Troops he guarded Bing Province were included, it would be a whole One Hundred Thousand.
This has far exceeded the peak military strength of Yuan Shao.
And it is said that these are not all the troops. Ji Province still has a large army left behind. It is conceivable that Imperial Court's military strength is great.
Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "As the saying goes, those who have gained the right will have many help, while those who have lost the right will have little help. Your Majesty's wisdom and strength win the hearts of the people. This is the fundamental reason why our Great Han army is getting stronger and stronger."
Zhang He nodded, fully convinced of this.
While the two were talking, the army was already approaching Jinyang City. After stopping the march, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao and others rode forward from the army formation.
"Gongtai!"
After Lü Bu turned over and dismounted, he came up and gave Chen Gong a bear hug, saying with great excitement, "I miss you so much!"
Ever since Chen Gong was sent to assist Zhang He in guarding Bing Province, he has lost a big helping hand and a confidant with whom he can talk about anything.
How could he not be happy to finally meet each other after such a long time?
Although Chen Gong understood Lü Bu's rude and careless behavior, cuddling in front of everyone still made him feel uncomfortable all over his body. He said with a straight face, "Let go!"
"Okay!"
Lü Bu laughed and let go.
The generals on the side were quite surprised to see this. You must know that Lü Bu's current status is considered to be lower than that of one person and above ten thousand people. It is really incredible that such a favorite Son of Heaven would obey the words of a Army Supervisor.
Zhang Liao knew the relationship between the two, so he smiled and said, "Gongtai During the time when you were away, Fengxian he was talking about you all day long."
"But after this conquest of Ma Chao is completed and this serious concern is eliminated, you will no longer need to guard Bing Province."
Zhang He and Chen Gong guard Bing Province to guard against Ma Chao.
As long as this scourge is eliminated, the capital can be moved back to Luoyang or even Chang'an, and there will naturally be no need to send troops to stay.
"That's right!"
Lü Bu raised his chin and said with confidence, "It's just a horse, I think he is just a bidder and sells the first, it is not worth mentioning!"
"In this expedition, we must capture him in front of Your Majesty to apologize. Let's see if this guy still dares to speak nonsense about Enfeoffment as a King!"
When he learned that Ma Chao asked Son of Heaven to seal King of Liang, he felt very annoyed because this guy was robbing him of Grandson's empire!
If this guy is really to be Enfeoffment as a King, then wouldn't his Grandson empire be missing a big chunk of space?
He does not allow Great Han anyone who dares to interfere with his Grandson country to exist!
Chen Gong frowned when he heard this and said, "Western Liang Army's strength should not be underestimated. Don't make this blind and arrogant mistake."
"General Zhang and I have been guarding Bing Province for a long time and have a deep understanding of the Western Liang Army. Although Imperial Court has sent out a large army this time, it is still not easy to defeat Ma Chao."
"If you end up in a disastrous defeat because of contempt, it will be a small matter for you to be punished by Son of Heaven, but it will be a big deal for you to damage Imperial Court's army!"
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This has been a taboo for School of Military Strategy throughout the ages, but Lü Bu often likes to make this mistake.
Forget it if it is an ordinary war, Lü Bu can still decide the outcome of a battle with his personal bravery.
But now, in a battle involving several One Hundred Thousand people, the enemies are still equally powerful. If they are still as arrogant as before, they are very likely to lose.
But after he finished speaking, Sima Yi shook his head and said, "This battle can only be won, there is no reason to fail."
"If I lose this battle, I will commit suicide to thank Your Majesty."
Sima Yi's expression and tone were very calm, but the determination revealed in them made everyone look at him with suspicion.
No one knows how much he hopes for this war. It is not only about the victory or defeat of the thief, but also about his dignity!
If he loses in the end, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of Zhuge Liang for the rest of his life, and he will even lose Son of Heaven's trust.
This is undoubtedly more uncomfortable than killing him.
The atmosphere at the scene became stagnant because of Sima Yi's words, and everyone fell into silence.
"Military Advisor is too strong."
Seeing this, Zhao Yun took the initiative and said, relaxing the atmosphere, "This time Your Majesty has sent all Mo Dao Army out. We have a great chance of winning."
"And I believe that with Military Advisor's strategy, Enemy Army will be defeated."
Everyone heard the words and agreed.
Zhang He asked curiously, "Mo Dao Army? When was this army formed? Why have I never heard of it?"
He heard Zhao Yun's tone and it seemed that Mo Dao Army was very powerful and would play a big role in this crusade.
"This is a newly formed army by Your Majesty. In order to build this army, it took an unknown amount of effort."
"Mo Dao Army is out of the queue!"
Zhang Liao opened his mouth to explain, and at the same time Command-Flag Officers played a flag to change the military formation, allowing Mo Dao Army, who was in the center of the military formation, to stride forward.
Zhang He and Chen Gong looked up, and then their pupils shrank instantly.
I saw that Mo Dao Army had a majestic body shape with an average of more than Eight Feet per person, holding a terrifying and exaggerated horse-killing sword, and there was an unparalleled ferocious aura all over his body.
They stood there like an indestructible iron wall covered with blades, which made people feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
"This is...Mo Dao Army?"
Zhang He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling Shock extremely excited.
The army in front of him was far beyond his imagination!
Before Zhang He finished Shock, Zhang Liao looked at him with complicated eyes and said with some envy, "Your Majesty has ordered General Zhang to lead Mo Dao Army."
"This is Military Tally from the Mo Dao Army. Only with this Military Tally can Mo Dao Army be mobilized. Please accept it..."
Zhang Liao handed over a gold piece Military Tally to Zhang He.
He, Lü Bu and Huang Zhong had been fighting over who would lead Mo Dao Army, but he did not expect that Son of Heaven would eventually hand over this army to Zhang He.
"Let me take charge?!"
Zhang Liao's words made Zhang He feel unexpected. He looked at the piece of Golden Token in front of him in astonishment, and he couldn't react for a while.
Mo Dao Army is definitely the most powerful army he has ever seen. From the mouths of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, we can also know how time-consuming and laborious it is to form this army.
But it is such a powerful army.
Son of Heaven Just handed it over to him?
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhang He felt unrealistic and didn't believe it would be true.
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that General Zhang worked hard and was very brave. Mo Dao Army should be led by General Zhang."
Hearing this, Zhang He had mixed feelings for a while.
When he originally asked for orders to attack Sun Quan, but was sent to guard Bing Province, he felt that Son of Heaven thought he was not capable enough.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, Son of Heaven would entrust him with such an important task, which shows the trust and respect for him!
"My lord, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
With tears in his eyes, Zhang He knelt down in the direction of Ye City, and then kowtowed deeply.
Everyone present, including Zhang Liao and Lü Bu, envied Zhang He for receiving such high regard from Son of Heaven, but no one felt that he was unworthy.
You must know that Zhang He was the first general to abandon the dark side and support Son of Heaven when Son of Heaven was deeply under the control of Yuan Shao.
If Zhang He had not been there, Son of Heaven would never have been able to carry out the layout secretly under Yuan Shao's eyes. This Merit of Supporting the Dragon could even be comparable to Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others.
After prostrating, Zhang He stood up and took Military Tally. He looked in high spirits, even his waist was straightened a bit.
"It's freezing outside, let's go into the city first."
"You must be quite tired after traveling all the way. I have prepared Banquet in the city for you to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Zhang He smiled and invited.
Naturally, everyone had no objections. After Zhang He ordered the army to stay where they were, they followed Zhang He into the city with everyone.
Lü Bu quickly stepped forward and walked side by side with Chen Gong, and said proudly to him, "Gongtai, I have some good news for you."
"My daughter is pregnant with Son of Heaven's Dragon Heir!"
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Dragon Heir pregnant? When did it happen?"
He guards Bing Province and is not concerned about Imperial Court's affairs, let alone the pregnancy of concubine Imperial Harem.
So he had just heard about it.
Lü Bu smiled and said, "Just a few months ago, that silly girl passed out while practicing martial arts, and then Imperial Physician diagnosed her as pregnant."
"My daughter is Your Majesty Imperial Harem, the first of many concubines to be pregnant with Dragon Heir. If she can give birth to Imperial Prince, then Empress's Position must be her!"
Lü Bu Although he lowered his voice, his tone could not conceal his excitement.
Chen Gong Hearing this, he wanted to say something, but after seeing his happy look, he finally remained silent.
"Gongtai Why don't you speak?"
Lü Bu saw Chen Gong frowning and said nothing, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully, shouldn't Chen Gong be happy for him after hearing the good news?
Why this reaction?
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, then pulled Lü Bu deliberately behind a few steps behind everyone, and whispered, "I advise you not to rush this matter."
"Why?"
Lü Bu was stunned, even more confused.
His daughter is already pregnant with Dragon Heir, and Son of Heaven had previously promised to let his daughter have Empress, which all means that Empress's Position is already a sure thing.
