Chapter 676: Join Teachers!
In Xiong Nai's eyes, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. If one defeated the war, he would unite the countries to retaliate. It would be too villain and he had no mind to a great country at all.
When Luo Hua heard this, his lips twitched and thought, "Why did you mention this? You don't feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed!"
"His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu misunderstood. The Battle of Jinling is a hatred between me, Zhao and Qin, and it will not allow outsiders to intervene. We will resolve the grudges between our two countries ourselves. Therefore, our emperor wants to unite the northwest countries not because of the Battle of Jinling, but because the Qin Empire attacked Yan!" Luo Hua calmly raised his hand and explained.
"The Qin Empire attacked the Yan Empire, what's the matter with the Zhao Empire?" Xiong Nai asked in confusion.
Luo Hua was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: It was rumored that Emperor Chu was wise and decisive. Why did he see him today like a fool? He didn't even understand the principle that the most basic desire for a strong country would make a weaker country even weaker.
"The Qin Empire's attack on Yan is indeed nothing to do with our Great Zhao, but if the Yan Empire is destroyed, it will not be a good thing for us Great Zhao and Great Chu. First of all, it is the territory. Once the Yan Empire is destroyed, the Qin Empire's hand will reach the East China Sea and border the Xia Empire!"
"The Qin Empire is an empire with strong invasion. After it destroyed the Yan Empire, the next one is the Xia Empire or the Zhao Empire. According to the following, the next goal of the Qin Empire is likely to be the Xia Empire, because the princes of the Xia Empire have fought for the stock market more and more intensely in recent years, and they have consumed a lot of national strength. Destroying Xia is the easiest choice."
"As soon as the Xia Empire is destroyed, the territory of the Qin Empire will border the Great Chu. At that time, can His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor still sleep peacefully? Going forward, even if the Qin Empire does not destroy Xia and only destroy Yan, it will damage the interests of the Chu Empire in the East China Sea!"
"In fact, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu understood in his heart that because of the internal friction of the Yan Empire and the weak naval force of the Xia Empire, Great Chu has become the strongest overlord in the East China Sea. If the Qin Empire interferes in the East China Sea, the position of the Great Chu Empire in the East China Sea will definitely be shaken!" Luo Hua still calmly explained the reasons for the joint attack on Qin.
"Your Excellency is a bit full of words, right?" Xiong Nai said expressionlessly.
Luo Hua frowned slightly, "Why did His Majesty the Emperor of Chu say this?"
"Although the Yan Empire is seriously fed internally, its strength is not weak. It is just a force divided into several forces. I believe that the kings and princes of various parts of the Yan Empire will definitely unite to resist Qin. If Qin destroys Yan, it will not be that simple. It will take at least several years. You must know that when the Wei Empire was strong, it took five years to destroy an Wu Empire!"
"The Yan Empire is not weaker than the Wu Empire. On the contrary, it is stronger than the Wu Empire, so there is no need to join forces to attack Qin at present!" Xiong Nai said calmly, without any intention of joining forces to resist Qin.
When Luo Hua heard this, he was anxious, "Your Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, what he thought was not like. The Yan Empire was the Yan Empire, and the Wu Empire was the Wu Empire. The Wu Empire was in a collusion to resist the Wei army together, but the Yan Empire could not do it. Those kings and princes were all mobs, and they could not stop the tiger and wolf Qin at all!"
"If His Majesty the Emperor of Chu insists on comparing the Yan Empire and the Wu Empire, then don't forget that it only took half a year for the Qin Empire to destroy Jin!"
"Hmph!" Xiong Nai snorted coldly, looking at Luo Hua with a rather unkind look, saying, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
When Luo Hua heard this, he realized his incompetence. He immediately bent down and apologized: "I am so rude that I have hit His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu. I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu will forgive me!"
"Come here, see off the guests!" Xiong Nai waved his hand!
After the words came, the two imperial guards guarding outside the hall stepped into the hall and walked towards Luo Hua. Luo Hua was anxious and couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, you will definitely regret it!"
Xiong Nai's face suddenly became gloomy. When the two imperial guards saw that Xiong Nai's face was wrong, their steps could not help but speed up and directly grabbed Luo Hua's arm. Luo Hua took off the control of the imperial guard with a warm look on his face and said angrily: "I have feet, so I don't need to send them away, hum!"
After saying that, Luo Hua left the imperial study room with a swagger. Looking at Luo Hua's leaving back, Xiong Nai was so angry that he wanted to give Luo Hua a knife. It was so arrogant that he did not take him, the Emperor of Chu, seriously at all.
hateful!
In fact, Xiong Nai was still a little moved about the joint attack on Qin. As Luo Hua said, the Qin Empire was too strong and had already threatened the security of the northwest countries. But if you think about it carefully, even if the various countries successfully fought against Qin, the Great Chu would not get any benefits.
Why do you say that? In a word, Qin and Chu did not border. Therefore, after the Qin Empire was defeated, only the neighbors of Qin Empire could seize territory and population. At most, the Great Chu got a little money and exchanged the lives of thousands of soldiers for money. It was a loss, and it was not in line with the interests of the empire.
This is still the premise for the success of the Hezong. If the Hezong fails, first of all, the front-line army will be wiped out, and secondly, the Great Chu will be regarded as an enemy by the Qin Empire, and will inevitably be retaliated by the Qin Empire in the future. Xiong Nai does not want to be targeted by a powerful empire, nor does he want the Great Chu Empire to be slutty.
Furthermore, whether the Qin Empire is strong or weak, it has nothing to do with Da Chu and cannot pose a substantial threat to Da Chu. It will just put Da Chu under some pressure. For a little pressure, it is unwise to send troops to expedition to the overlord-level empire of Jiuzhou.
As for the interests of the East China Sea, haha, there is a rampant pirate in the East China Sea now, and there is a gross profit. He wishes a powerful navy to help kill the pirates.
In this way, Zhao You's plan to join forces with Chu was shattered!
In order to unite the Qin Dynasty, the Great Zhao sent envoys to the four great empires of Qi, Chu, Xia and Han, but without exception, they all returned without success. In particular, the envoys to South Korea were also humiliated by Han monarchs and ministers in public.
Time passes slowly, and days pass by day. March 10, 24th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, Chen hour!
Located a hundred miles north of Ningta Great Wall of the Great Yan Empire, Ningta Camp!
Ningta Camp consists of 150,000 grassland legion cavalry, but after Ying Chang arrived yesterday, Ningta Camp had a total of 380,000 troops, and the area of the camp was expanded by five miles. At first glance, it was all neatly arranged white camp tents, and the real barracks were like forests!
"kill!"
"Boom!"
"You, yes, it's you, tell me why you swung your sword one step slower than the other brothers?"
"Report to the lieutenant, make a mistake!"
"Missue? I think you are not concerned. Do you know that on the battlefield, it is very likely that your life will be ruined by your mistake. Don't laugh, saying that he didn't say you, right? After saying it many times, you must swing the sword quickly. As long as it is fast enough, the enemy will not be able to stop it. You can cut the enemy with one knife!"
In the vast school grounds of Ningta Camp, Qin soldiers and grassland legion warriors were conducting daily training. The scene was bustling with dust. The sound of killing and horse hooves resounded continuously. In addition to the sound of killing and horse hooves, there were also the sound of generals scolding their subordinates.
The Qin army was strict and generals at all levels could not tolerate sand. When they saw a little flaw, they would scold them. They would scold them in public. Often, those who were scolded would feel ashamed, so they would train hard to not drag their comrades back.
It is precisely under this rigorous training that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army can ensure long-term prosperity!
It has to be said that the grassland legion has been equipped with Qin army standard weapons, such as fish scale armor, red tassel helmet, horse lance, and short crossbow; since the grassland legion warriors are more suitable for using scimitars, they are not equipped with ring-headed swords. In addition to the grassland legion equipped with standard weapons, the Ningta legion of Aronatus is also equipped with excellent standard weapons.
All the troops belonging to the Qin Empire have been armed to the teeth!
At the same time, in the tent!
In the tent of the commander, Ying Chang wore the Dragon Emperor armor and the golden tassel helmet, and held high a position in the commander; General Aruk and Ge of the Gu Yuan, from the ninth-rank Jianzhong, Saiyinsanda, from the ninth-rank Liyi General Urte, from the ninth-rank Huaiji General Karuchi, standing on the left; Four Qin generals, including Du Changjing, Bai Qi, Qian Guangxiao, and Xiao Xiong, standing on the right!
"How many military rations do our army have now?" Ying Chang looked at the generals with a blank expression and asked.
When Du Changjing heard this, he bent down respectfully and wrote a report: "Report to Your Majesty, after our army met with the grassland army, there were a total of 2 million stones of military rations, which was enough for our army to spend two years. There was no need to worry about food and grass. What's more, there were six granaries in Shunbei County, Dongzhou and Fangshan County. Together, there were a total of 1.8 million stones of reserved grain for our army to use, so there was no need to worry about food and food!"
"Our army is of course more than enough to use it, but after our army conquered Yancheng, it is inevitable that we will open warehouses and release grain. I am just worried that there is not enough food to distribute it to the poor people, and two million military rations will not take two years. Don't forget that we are still on the grassland and have natural horse materials for war horses to eat. But once we enter Yan territory, we have to take out military rations for war horses to eat. Compared with the amount of one horse, the amount of three soldiers, according to this calculation, two million military rations are only enough for our army to consume for one year!"
"In addition to helping the people, our army can only hold on for half a year. Therefore, our Qin Dynasty will end the war within half a year to avoid falling into the point of losing food. However, to be on the safe side, I decided to order the prefect of Dongzhou to transfer all the grains of the three counties of Dongzhou Changping County, Chongnan County and Yongcheng County to the three major grains of Shunbei County to strengthen the amount of grain reserved and ensure that our army is not affected by food problems. What do you think?"
Ying Chang said a lot in a row, and his speaking speed was quite fast. If the generals present were not ordinary people, they would have been unable to hear what Ying Chang said at once.
"Abide by Your Majesty's will!" Du Changjing replied!
"Then do what I said!" Ying Chang said, then said immediately: "How many defenders are there in Ningta Great Wall? Who is the commander?"
After the words came, Aruk Go took a small step forward, bent down with awe and wrote a report: "Report to Your Majesty, there are a total of 250,000 troops in Ningta Great Wall, and the commander is Liu Zhendong, the deputy commander of Huaibei, Yan!"
"Liu Zhendong? He actually led the troops himself?" Ying Chang's face looked surprised.
According to common sense, Liu Zhendong is already above ten thousand people, and is the top leader of Huaibei County. People with such identities generally do not lead troops themselves. After all, if he unfortunately dies in battle, even if his army under him has combat power, he will collapse instantly.
If Bai Qi was not there and Liu Zhendong personally led the troops, Ying Chang would not be surprised, but Bai Qi was there. Wouldn't he be afraid that the head would fall to the ground in a blink of an eye? Then there would be no need to fight, and Ningta Great Wall Army surrendered directly.
"That's right, Liu Zhendong did lead the troops himself, and even spoke out that he wanted to kill King Wu to avenge Fang Kong. The last general felt that Liu Zhendong was tired of living and dared to provoke King Wu!" Aruk Ge said with a little disdain.
"By the way, why don't the Xuanjia Army be seen when we go on the expedition this time?" Aruk Go asked immediately, with a look of confusion appearing between his eyebrows.
Hearing this sentence, many generals in the tent were confused, including Du Changjing. Bai Qi's eyes became dim when he heard the words Xuanjia Jun, and Ying Chang couldn't help but sigh.
"The Xuanjia Army has been transferred by me to another place, and that place needs to be guarded by the Xuanjia Army. As for where, don't ask more questions. Besides, destroying a chaotic Yan Kingdom, you won't be able to use my Great Qin brigade!" Ying Chang said with a slightly arrogant expression.
In fact, the Xuanjia Army has been destroyed and has become history. They are not annihilated by the enemy, but have been erased by time. The disadvantage of the Xuanjia Army is that their lifespan is short. Therefore, as early as two years ago, none of the Xuanjia Army had died.
Since the Xuanjia Army is the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Qin Dynasty, it has a strong deterrence and the reason for witchcraft, Ying Chang did not announce the destruction of the Xuanjia Army to the public, but instead claimed that the Xuanjia Army would guard the secret place.
Only Bai Qi and Ying Chang knew about the destruction of the Xuanjia Army, but no one else knew about it!
After hearing Ying Chang's words, the generals suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment and did not doubt that Ying Chang's words were true or false, because they did not believe that the extremely powerful Xuanjia Army would be destroyed.
"What a pity. If the Xuanjia Army is here, we will blink and the Ningta Great Wall will be broken!" Aruk Ge said with regret.
The other generals also showed regret and pity!
"Okay, there is no regret. Without the Xuanjia Army, I, Daqin, still blinked and destroyed the Ningta Great Wall. However, before attacking the Ningta Great Wall, I have to send someone to Ningta Great Wall to meet Liu Zhendong for me for a while. If possible, I can persuade him to surrender. I am willing to treat him with a high position!" Ying Chang's eyes flashed with a hint of cleverness, and he had the idea of surrendering.
Some people may ask, didn’t Ying Chang say before that he would not give the kings and princes from all over the world of Dayan? This depends on the person. It can be said that among the five kings and eight emperors of Dayan, Liu Zhendong is still a hero and loyal minister!
Liu Zhendong was a veteran of sixties, with rich war experience and loyal to the court. When Zheng Long rebelled, Liu Zhendong had the greatest efforts to suppress the rebellion, and he had no regrets. Even if the court did not allocate food or military pay, he would still lead a large army to suppress Zheng Long's army.
His Huaibei Hou did not force the court to obtain it, but was voluntarily compensated by the court, serving as military pay and military rations that had not been paid for many years. When he was granted the title, Liu Zhendong refused to accept the order, believing that the court should not use this false name to pay the military ration and military pay of the army.
When the imperial court learned that Liu Zhendong refused to accept the order because of this, they felt helpless. It was not that they did not want to give Liu Zhendong money and grain, but that they could not give it out. There was a grain of grain in the treasury, and no one or two silver was left. In order to stabilize Liu Zhendong, the imperial court granted Huaibei County the title of Liu Zhendong and asked Liu Zhendong to rule Huaibei County by himself. All the taxes of Huaibei County were returned to Ningta Camp, so that he could support himself.
Although Liu Zhendong was not good at handling political affairs, he still managed Huaibei County well and could support himself and no longer needed the court's money and food. If it were someone else, he would definitely force the court to be king, but Liu Zhendong did not.
While governing Huaibei County, he also kept putting pressure on King Zheng, Jihou, Yuanhou, Wuhou, and Yanghou. One person suppressed the king of the king of the world and the four worlds did not dare to act rashly. It can be said that if it weren't for Liu Zhendong, the Yehou around the Wuyang Imperial Capital would have swallowed up all the shorts that Yan court had long been swallowed.
(Yewang Yehou: The title of king and marquis obtained through rebellion!)
Any ruler like this capable and loyal talent, let alone the Emperor Ying Chang of the Qin Dynasty who loves talents as much as his life!
"Let the general go!" Du Changjing wrote without hesitation.
"You?" Ying Chang raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to say something, Du Changjing said: "Overall, the more capable people are, the more arrogant they are. If His Majesty only sends young generals to negotiate, I am afraid that Liu Zhendong will think that I, Daqin, have no sincerity!"
"Liu Zhendong is the marquis, and the last general is also the marquis. If the last general is sent, Liu Zhendong will definitely have nothing to say in terms of sincerity. Moreover, with the reputation of the last general, Liu Zhendong will give me some face and will not embarrass my great Qin!"
Du Changjing's words are not just a boast. With his current identity and status, he will be treated everywhere he goes!
"Okay, then I'll bother General!" Ying Chang nodded and agreed to Du Changjing go to talk to Liu Zhendong.
"I will leave!" Du Changjing bent down with a respectful expression and said, "I will leave the court." After the ceremony, he turned around and left the tent and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ying Chang looked around the generals and finally looked at Aruk Go. He asked in a slight tone: "Apart from exploring the Ningta Great Wall, has General Gu Yuan sent someone to inquire about the hinterland of the Yan Empire?"
Aruk Go quickly bent down and wrote a compilation and replied: "Go back to your Majesty, we will send a scout to Yan's hinterland to inquire, but Liu Zhendong is extremely rigorous and sealed the north of Huaibei County, and there is no way to go. Therefore, the scouts all returned without success!"
"In this way, we know nothing about the heartland of the Yan Empire!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, now Zheng Long surrenders to our Great Qin. No one in Yan's territory can pose a threat to our Qin army except Liu Zhendong. I believe that when our Qin army breaks through the Ningta Great Wall and captures Huaibei County, the major princes and princes of the Yan Empire will definitely surrender. In this way, our Great Qin does not need to know the situation in the heart of the Yan Empire, and it is useless to know!"
