Chapter 44: Zhou Dunyi, the Tiger of the South

Wuyang County, one of the border counties of Shangzhou, is a county seat compared to Pingyu County, this county is even more barren, the people on the street are yellow and thin, and even some hawkers are only a few in this small county at this time, as for Qianfang?

I'm sorry, there is no such thing in this kind of place, this Wuyang County is said to be the most barren county in the south of the country, basically no other county dares to rob him, just because this is simply a place where birds don't, and the number of people in the county is estimated to be even the people in the north of Jinling City, not to mention that the county seat of Wuyang County itself is a military city.

Yes, the distance between this county and Dongxun is only one finger different on the map, Pingyu County is still a border county, and Wuyang County is completely a fuse on the border between Dongxun and Nanli.

Wuyang County was also the territory of Zhiguo thousands of years ago, after Zhiguo was annexed by Nanli, Wuyang County was very barren at that time, and the garrison was only five hundred.

Originally, Nanli didn't pay much attention to this barren county, and because this place was too remote, so all the court officials or some local heroes who had made mistakes in Nanli for thousands of years would be exiled to this county town after making big mistakes.

And it is precisely because of the embarrassing situation in Wuyang County for thousands of years that it is useless for you to have any background here, maybe the identity of a guy you met on the road was a feudal official of the imperial court.

It is also because of the strong rise of the Eastern Xun Kingdom in the past hundred years and its position as one of the three permanent powers, the position of this Wuyang county town on the map has become important.

Although Dongxun and Nanli have always been friendly with each other, and there is no omission in the relationship, everyone will be able to put on a show on the surface between the big powers, and if you are secretly guarded against you, a long-brained monarch will agree.

Therefore, the garrison of Wuyang County has been in a state of expansion in recent decades, and by the time of the current emperor, the permanent garrison of a county in Wuyang County has reached more than 10,000.

However, because of the change of clothes a few days ago, the number of permanent troops in Wuyang County dropped to about 3,000 in the first army.

The garrison of 3,000 people, and Hebo County, the closest county seat to Wuyang County, has less than 1,000 defenders, and if you want to transfer troops from Hebo County to Wuyang County, it will take a few days at the earliest.

A few days is enough for Dongxun to take Wuyang County several times.

In the face of the pressure exerted by Dongxun, Wuyang County's situation at this time can be said to be precarious.

So the first thing Zhou Dunyi did after arriving in Shangzhou was to order Wuyang County, Pingyu County and other border counties to expand the army and recruit soldiers to join the army, and Zhou Dunyi himself paid out of his own pocket to invite acquaintances from the Ministry of Industry in Jinling City to forge five thousand qualified weapons and armor for these recruits, and it was these five thousand sets of armor that almost emptied all the savings of Zhou Wangfu over the years.

But Zhou Dunyi didn't blink, and even wanted to ask some wealthy families in Jinling City to borrow a sum of money and continue to build some equipment.

After all, what he has to face in this battle is the Dongxun Central Army, which may be attacked by 100,000 troops, plus the garrisons on the Dongxun border, the number of troops that can fight on the Dongxun side in this battle will only be more than 100,000, and it will never be less than this number.

And the county lieutenant of Wuyang County at this time was himself a guest of the Zhou Palace, he had followed Zhou Dunyi in the southern expedition to the north when he was young, and participated in the great war against the coalition forces of various countries, and his own military literacy was also extremely high, and it was more than enough for him to go to the Jinling Forbidden Army to mix a captain.

But Zhou Dunyi placed him in Wuyang County back then, because Zhou Dunyi at that time smelled the crisis of Dongxun for the south.

The last time the coalition of countries crusaded against Nanli Dongxun, he did not participate in the war, and his belligerent arrogance in Dongxun was not suppressed, Zhou Dunyi felt that it would only take a generation at most, even if it was suppressed by Taihao Fuxi's own prestige, it would be more than ten years at most, and Dongxun would definitely declare war on Nanli.

Otherwise, the group of young Zhuang factions in Dongxun have gradually taken over the authority of Dongxun, and they have not experienced any thrilling battles, and their cognition of Nanli only exists in words, where can they control their desire for war, they are not the Central Plains countries, wars are non-stop, a country that has not experienced war for a hundred years, even if they can suppress the desire in their hearts, he Taihao Fuxi will not sit still, right?

A country that has been soaked in a honey jar for a hundred years, he is really not afraid that the Dongxun he has worked so hard to build will become a country that everyone can bully, right?

Facts have proved that Zhou Dunyi's worries were right at the beginning, Dongxun really couldn't bear himself, and united with Xikun to wage war against Nanli.

But fortunately, Nanli also learned this news early, otherwise Shangzhou is now immersed in the same way as before, and was directly killed by the Dongxun army, who knows if it will lose most of Shangzhou in ten days and half a month.

But even now that he knows this information and sends Zhou Dunyi over, there are only a few troops left for Zhou Dunyi to mobilize, and the border counties of Shangzhou are not only Wuyang and Pingyu, just such an army, what can be used to defend it?

This is also what Zhou Dunyi needs to decide.

As everyone knows, Nanli is the old marshal of the Bai family, nearly 100 years old, since he joined the army in his teens, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced a hundred battles, and the way of using soldiers is upright, but it is impeccable.

In the end, the alliance of all countries sent people to secretly bribe the high-ranking officials of Nanli, and those guys received the money from the other side, and they said a lot of bad things about the old marshal of the Bai family next to the newly enthroned emperor, and the emperor had long been dissatisfied with the war strategy of the old marshal of the Bai family, so he ordered the removal of the old marshal of the Bai family and sent someone to escort him back to Beijing to wait for disposal.

But the army could not be without a leader, at this time Zhou Dunyi volunteered, received an edict from his younger brother who was also the emperor, and became the new marshal of the Nanli army.

At that time, the coalition army learned that Nanli had withdrawn the old marshal of the Bai family, who gave them a headache, and then replaced him with a stinky boy to be the marshal, and everyone thought that they had a chance to defeat it, so they thought about directly gathering the armies of various countries to directly smash Huanglong and kill directly under the city of Jinling, prompting Emperor Li to sign an alliance with them under the city.

But later they found out that what they thought was too simple, the newly appointed marshal opposite didn't seem to be some master who could only talk on paper, although the difficulty of the guy opposite was not as good as the old commander of the Bai family, but this guy's art of war was not as dignified as the old commander of the Bai family.

This guy's art of war simply has no lower limit, tricks, and conspiracy foreshadowing, so that the alliance of all countries has been frustrated one by one, although in the end they still killed on the slope of the mountain only a hundred miles away from Jinling City, but after they arrived, they also found that the young marshal on the opposite side also gathered the army of Nanli and waited for them there for a long time.

In the final decisive battle, Zhou Dunyi was unusual, and directly ordered the most elite army under his command to fight directly for the first echelon, wanting to cut a hole in the coalition formation, which also caught the old commander jointly elected by the coalition army off guard.

What is this little cub thinking in his head, this is a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, you don't let some inferior horses consume our sharpness, but directly send your superior horses to charge?

Aren't you afraid of losses?

The old marshal had experienced many battles, but this battle alone made him unforgettable, and also made him understand the terrifying military talent of the little guy opposite.

This is a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he has prepared some cannon fodder to be consumed in front of him, but you are directly on your strongest troops?

There is no doubt that the coalition forces of the countries in that battle were defeated by the First World War, and the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, even if hundreds of thousands of pigs were put there, they had to howl for a long time, but the time of this battle was only a short hour, and after an hour, the coalition army began to disperse, and the Nanli army was chased by the army under the leadership of Zhou Dunyi, and the battle line spread for dozens of miles, and the corpses of the coalition troops were even blocked by a big river, and the river turned red for half a month.

Since that battle, Zhou Dunyi has become famous in the first battle, and is known as a great tiger commander in Nanli, and the Central Plains countries were even frightened by this name for a time and did not dare to confront the army led by him.

But the reason for winning that battle was Zhou Dunyi's decisiveness and uneven rise, and the cards held by Zhou Dunyi at that time were still very good, at least all the troops in Nanli at that time were transferred by him.

And now?

You just give me a Shangzhou garrison, it's still Shangzhou where more than half of the garrison has been transferred.

Even that's fine, but you're still going to put me in front of Toxun's 100,000 troops?

Even if Zhou Dunyi's reputation in the past was so loud, but with such a deck of cards, everyone thought that Zhou Dunyi could only passively rely on defense to stalemate, waiting for reinforcements from other states to arrive.

But the old handsome man of the Bai family who went to the junction of Xikun didn't think much about it.

Hehe, those little guys who don't have much knowledge think that you Zhou Dunyi is a clay doll who can be bullied, but who knows that your little guy was called a blood massacre by the coalition of nations back then?

Let's see, Zhou Dunyi will fight a defensive battle?

Impossible, if that little guy can endure his temperament and devote himself to playing a defensive battle, then he will not be Zhou Dunyi, the old man's impression of Zhou Dunyi, but he dares to call the heroes of all countries with the power of one person, hum, although the old man who was removed at that time was unhappy.

But this little guy is doing well, and the old man now hopes that the group of Dongxun little guys who have been kept in the ivory tower for nearly a hundred years will not be frightened by this Nanli tiger.

10,000 to 100,000 to defend?

No, that guy estimates that it will take much faster to send those Dongxun cubs home than the old man's side, that's it.

The man known as the Tiger of the South!

This battle will definitely let you, the little cubs who have not been in the war, know that the consequences of provoking Nanli without authorization are not something you can afford with a word!
