045
Looking at the lineup below him, Lu Qing's face was full of smiles. How could he lose with such a lineup?
"Alright, everyone, the autumn harvest is coming. According to the usual practice, when the harvest is halfway through, there will be foreign cavalrymen coming to plunder.”
"Not only did they steal the harvested food, they even trampled on the food that hadn't been harvested yet.”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone's expression became serious, especially Gongsun Zan and Zhang Fei, who grew up in Youzhou. They knew this best.
Lu Qing continued after a pause.
"Therefore, my order is to take the initiative to attack. Since they want to rob the people of Youzhou, I will cut off their claws first!”
"Let them suffer. They won't dare to invade Youzhou Province for decades!”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone became excited. This was the Han Dynasty taking the initiative to attack after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Moreover, Lu Qing's actions were even above that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had spent the accumulation of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to complete the great cause of expelling the Xiongnu.
It could be said that without the accumulation of the previous two emperors, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have been a warmonger. Although his achievements were glorious, the accumulation of the previous two emperors accounted for at least half of the credit.
Lu Qing was going to use the power of a state to attack the entire grassland. This was bound to shake the world.
Following Lu Qing's order, the entire Youzhou Province started to move. Under Lu Qing's construction, Youzhou Province was like an iron bucket.
The citizens of Youzhou supported Lu Qing very much. Therefore, it was easy to transfer personnel and resources.
Of course, most of the materials were actually purchased from the modern world. The country did not dare to purchase them in large quantities, but if they were to gather enough materials to support the war from many countries abroad, it should not be a problem.
At the same time, in a village in Youzhou, countless people were organizing a harvest. It was the same every year. If they didn't hurry up and hide the grain, when the foreign cavalries came, there wouldn't be any residue left.
"Everyone, the Provincial Governor is going to send troops out of the grasslands!”
An official shouted as he rode on his horse.
The moment he said that, the commoners who were about to rush to collect the food were stunned. Did they hear wrongly? Was it the army leaving the grasslands?
"Little Five, what's going on?”
It was an old man's question. Usually, the minor officials in this kind of village were usually from the village, so these old people spoke more casually.
"Second Master, the Provincial Governor's Office has just issued a notice. This year, everyone doesn't have to rush to harvest the grain. We can let the grain grow for a longer period of time and grow more plump.”
"The Provincial Governor will send 200,000 cavalry to attack the grasslands. He said that if he can break it with one punch, he can avoid a hundred punches!”
"This battle will cripple all the grassland tribes so that they won't be able to invade Youzhou.”
The young official said excitedly.
Hearing his words, these old people were all shocked. Was it actually like this?
At this moment, they did not doubt the young official's words because Lu Qing had done too many good things for Youzhou. On the other hand, the commoners were actually very convinced by Lu Qing.
"That's great! This way, we won't have to worry about the grassland beasts snatching our food this year!”
The old man said excitedly.
This scene was happening all over Youzhou, and the entire region was in an uproar. At the same time, 200,000 cavalry were mobilized in a grandiose manner.
After all, that was 200,000 cavalry! Lu Qing's cavalrymen were equipped with the highest quality equipment. They were all equipped with one person and two horses. They could take turns riding them, allowing the horses to rest sufficiently and maximize their mobility.
Lu Qing's most elite Snow Dragon Cavalry had a person and three horses. The movement of so many soldiers and horses towards the border was extremely shocking.
Even the commoners in the city could hear the deafening sound of horse hooves from their homes.
The momentum of ten thousand galloping horses even caused the ground to tremble.
At Shanhai Pass of Youzhou Province, thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered. Countless people flocked there. This was the Han Dynasty's first attack after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the people were very curious about whether the soldiers of Youzhou Province could resist the foreign cavalry.
However, when the commoners arrived at Shanhaiguan, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
Two hundred thousand Youzhou cavalrymen stood at the foot of Shanhai Pass in an orderly fashion, not making a single sound.
Under the sunlight, the black iron frame reflected a heart-palpitating light. Was this really the iron cavalry of the Great Han Dynasty?
One had to know that the Han Dynasty was already weak. Youzhou, which had been bullied for many years, had never seen such elites.
Only the white horses were slightly more elite, but they were no match for these cavalry.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of war drums rang out. Under everyone's gaze, Lu Qing slowly rode his warhorse and appeared from the high platform.
He was accompanied by the civil and military officials of Youzhou. Those who could be by Lu Qing's side were all prefects and above.
The county magistrate and the others could only stand under the high platform.
If Lu Qing ascended to the throne in the future, perhaps the people standing below would be a group of prefects.
