Chapter 1256 – The Great Wind Blows and the Clouds are Scattered

8th month, 19th day, the Great Xia Army started to move according to plan.

At 9am, the 650 thousand troops housed outside of the city teleported from Handan City to Hetao province’s Naypyidaw City. They were prepared to charge into Tibet from Hetao Province and would be the left wing of the army.

Leading this army was the former Pill Sun legion corps marshal Tian Dan.

At the same time, the 380 thousand strong Song army teleported from Xiangyang City to Dali City. They were planning to charge into Tibet from Yunnan Province and would act as the middle protection army.

Since Great Song lacked good generals, the Imperial Court especially sent Beijiang legion corps marshal Yue Fei to command this Song army. As the Beijiang legion corps still had a deputy marshal in Chen Yucheng, Yue Fei’s absence was not that important.

500 thousand Tang troops under the leadership of Li Shiji teleported from Chang An City to Chengdu. They would charge into Tibet from the Shu Lands. They would act as the main middle force of the army.

Similarly, the 500 thousand Qin troops set out from Xianyang. They were led by Wang Jian west into Xihai Province then into Tibet to act as the right wing.

Li Jing would command the two Warfighting legion corps of the northwest warzone as the reserve forces.

To make these two million troops willingly charge to the frontlines, Ouyang Shuo made it clear that whether these soldiers could enter the Great Xia Army and whether the generals could receive good appointments would depend on their performance in this battle.

The families of anyone who perished during this battle would obtain the standard Great Xia military compensation.

Ouyang Shuo even personally went to each camp to speak and said, “The four countries submitted because of the situation, and it is not the fault of any of you. You might be unwilling and unhappy, and you might want to wipe out the humiliation on the battlefield. Since that’s the case, the war of Tibet is a chance for you to prove if you’re a dragon or a worm.”

The moment they heard those words, all the soldiers felt pumped up.

In the past month, news regarding how the Imperial Court would arrange them had never stopped. The most popular rumor was that the Imperial Court wanted to disarm them.

Naturally, such rumors made them unhappy.

Especially those from Qin and Tang, who felt that they were no weaker than Great Xia’s army. However, they were unable to prove their strength in war. Truthfully speaking, the soldiers had some resentment in their hearts.

Now, the Imperial Court was giving them a chance to prove themselves.

“This is not a China internal war but a fight against an overseas army. I hope that all of you can fight valiantly and spread the honor of China. This is also the last bit of glory you will fight for your old home.” Ouyang Shuo said.

This time, the eyes of some of the soldiers teared up.

Soldiers were responsible for defending their land. As the last shield of their dynasties, they were unable to do that, making them feel really ashamed. News had it that when Qin Shihuang died, the 500 thousand Qin troops had broken down into a deafening wave of cries.
