255 Ordered to lead the army on the verge of danger!
"Who is going to meet King Wu's 250,000 army and rescue Wanling City?"
"Who is going to meet the 100,000 army of the King of Chu and prevent him from crossing the river to the south?!"
Emperor Xiang Yanran's voice was full of anger, echoing in the Jinluan Palace.
However, the ministers of civil and military affairs were silent one by one, looking at each other, and fell into a dead silence.
The Great Chu Dynasty is the most powerful force in the world, with millions of soldiers, and no one in the world can beat it.
But although the tiger is fierce, it can't withstand the bite of the wolves.
The Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu led 300,000 elite cavalry to besiege Shuofang, like the sword hanging on the head of the Great Chu court, which must be resisted, and there must be no mistakes.
Li Rong, the captain of the Great Chu God of War, has already taken six generals who have experienced a hundred battles to the border pass to guard it, and use the 300,000 elite border troops of the Great Chu at the border pass to stop the Xiongnu from going south.
Dawan and other countries in the Western Regions in the northwest are ready to move, detaining Yumen Pass, and the two major tribes of Xianbei and Wuheng in the northeast are detaining Yunzhong County and Yanmen Pass at the same time.
Minyue in southern Xinjiang annexed Yelang Kingdom, trying to take the opportunity to become the largest vassal state in southern Xinjiang. Once it succeeds, it will definitely threaten the Great Chu Dynasty.
These frontier barbarians have already restrained the 400,000 main forces of the imperial court, and they can't move.
The old generals of the imperial court were sent out to meet the invading enemy. There are some three-legged cats left behind in Jinling City.
The only troops available to the imperial court were the 100,000 troops in Jinling City, plus the troops scattered in the fifty local county capitals.
Silence obviously does not solve the problem.
Use soldiers, choose generals first.
Almost all of the generals who could fight were dispatched. The rest are not well-known and dare not go into battle to face King Wu.
What the imperial court lacks the most is a general who can resist King Wu.
Emperor Xiang Yanran can actually lead his troops to fight, but the emperor is driving out on the expedition, and if he is not careful, the Great Chu Dynasty will really change the sky.
Kong Hanyou stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court is in danger. Be eclectic, promote generals, and be the commander of the army.
The old minister thought that the little marquis could defeat the captain in the military academy, which shows that the art of war is extraordinary. It's not like an idle general!
It's better to make him General Zuo and resist King Wu! ”
Xiang Yanran was silent when she heard this.
The little Dusk Marquis's art of war is powerful.
Of course he knows that.
However, it is a taboo to give military power. After all, Xiao Duhou is the "Dull King" of the previous dynasty, and he can be used, but he cannot be given real power.
If he was given the real power to lead the troops, and he was given the military exploits and prestige of the rebel princes, it would be tricky in the future. Wouldn't it be a little faint to sit big?
However, if the Marquis of Xiao Duan is not allowed to go on the expedition, who else can fight with King Wu in this full court?
No one anymore!
"Okay, Xiao Duhou is the general of Zuo, leading 30,000 elite soldiers to meet the army of King Wu!"
Xiang Yanran hesitated for a long time, and said helplessly: "In addition, the king of Chu is going south and is about to cross the river, who will go to fight?" ”
Wang Su offered a strategy and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one that can be used."
The daughter of the Taiwei, Li Yu! Since she was a child, she has followed Lord Taiwei to learn the art of war and tactics, is familiar with military books, is familiar with maps, and is proficient in tactics.
She is the only female general and needs to be promoted! When the imperial court is in crisis, it should be eclectic and select talents. ”
Xiang Yanran nodded slightly.
I almost forgot that the Li family also has a concubine.
Li Yu, the lord of Danyang, often followed Li Rong in and out of the Taiwei Mansion to assist in military affairs, and was the only daughter of the Li family who inherited the true inheritance of Li Rong's art of war.
Li Rong has no children, and he has been cultivating Li Yu as the Li family heir all these years.
As long as she has Li Rong's two or three points of strength, she is enough to be much better than those mediocre generals.
"Good! I made a breakthrough, named Li Yu as the right general, and led 20,000 elite soldiers from Jinling out of the city to meet the army of the king of Chu who came to attack.
The local soldiers and horses in all counties and counties in the world listened to her dispatch to encircle and suppress the rebels.
Permission was granted to recruit miscellaneous troops in various localities and to expand the force.
I personally led an army of 50,000 to defend the imperial capital of Jinling and recruit new soldiers for the Chinese army. The rest is up to you! ”
Xiang Yanran said.
Emperor Jinling had a huge amount of grain and grass, money and grain and recruitable soldiers, which could not be lost or lost. Only the emperor himself can take command.
"Yes!"
The ministers of civil and military affairs said.
The emperor immediately sent eunuchs, summoned Li Yu to the court, canonized the right general, and led 20,000 troops to meet the king of Chu.
At the same time, he canonized Chu Tianxiu as the general of Zuo, led 30,000 troops, and faced King Wu.
"Minister, take the order!"
Chu Tianxiu said.
"Thank you, Lord Honor! The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations! ”
Li Yu received the edict of the imperial court to canonize the general, and was a little stunned.
General, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, is equivalent to the rank of the imperial court Jiuqing. It can be said that she ascended to the sky in one step, and she was a two-member general in the Pingwang Mansion.
The ministers congratulated them.
However, the ministers were worried, and no one envied them.
This job is not easy to do, there are strong enemies on all sides, and there are more than 300,000 troops of Wu and Chu, this is the first wave.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops such as the King of Jinan, the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Jiaodong, Qi, and Zhao, who besieged Jinling like a flood.
At this time, leading the troops out of the battle is almost like sending them to death.
...
After the retreat from the dynasty.
Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu returned to the Pingwang Mansion and prepared to lead the 50,000 troops of Jinling City to meet the kings of Wu and Chu.
Of the 50,000 troops, only 20,000 were light cavalry, and the remaining 30,000 were infantry.
"Husband, how to fight this battle?"
Li Yu was a little worried.
She has followed Li Rong since she was a child and is familiar with military affairs.
But she's never been on the battlefield!
When her father and brothers went north to conquer the Huns, she was still young. When she was ten years old, the world would be peaceful for ten years, and there would be no war at all.
It was her first time on the battlefield.
In contrast, Wu Wang Xiangbi is over fifty years old, the age that is not right with her father Li Rong, he has fought many battles since he was young, and he is an extremely fierce general, and that is a veteran of the battlefield.
The fame of Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, is a little weaker than Xiang Bi, but he is also a general, and it is difficult to deal with.
"Let's go to Danyang County first, there are a lot of muskets, artillery and ordnance, which have not yet been equipped for the Great Chu army, so they are just used for use.
Then you take 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to stop the king of Chu from crossing the river. I took 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to support Wanling City.
Win or lose, depending on your luck! ”
Chu Tianxiu thought for a while and said.
To say war.
He's even more on paper.
The military and military campus was a drill for 100 people, not a real war.
Only the Yanyu Painting Boat encountered hundreds of assassins, and it was he and Li Yu who arranged for them to be ambushed. Dominate the ambush and win, of course, it is not a problem.
He knew a lot about the battles of the 2,000-year-old history of the future. However, he never even fought in the streets, let alone in person.
Now that the world is in chaos, this battle will be fought if it is not fought.
"The emperor said that it was permissible to recruit miscellaneous soldiers and expand the army. You and I have too few troops, but in Jinling City, recruit some miscellaneous troops as auxiliary troops, and then go to war? ”
Li Yu said.
Chu Tianxiu shook his head, "The people in Jinling City are relatively wealthy, they are used to being pampered, and there are many slippery people, so they can't bear the hardships of war. Let them take their knives and go into battle, for fear that if they lose a little, they will run away.
Even if it is a miscellaneous soldier, it is necessary to recruit miscellaneous soldiers who can endure hardships and dare to work hard.
We went to Danyang County to recruit troops. ”
