Chapter 211: Arrangements Before the Expedition
"What about Burnt Touch? Didn't you go? "Yuan Xi had already ordered Jiao to mobilize the troops of Jixian County in Youzhou to rush to the aid of the Great Wall.
"General Jiao touched and went, but before he could reach the Great Wall, the Great Wall was lost. can only be stationed with Tian Yu and Tian Chou, ready to guard Daijun. Frustrated.
"These aliens..." Yuan Xi clenched his fists.
Since the elimination of Zhang Yan, he was reluctant to go on an expedition and make a big move, but he didn't expect the Huns to be pressing forward step by step. They also repelled the border guards of Tian Yu and Tian Chou. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu is very strong.
"Sir, please be seated."
Yuan Xi waved his hand, sat down on the top seat and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”
Fu Zhi replied: "The Xiongnu are ambitious, and they definitely want to capture my Youzhou. The minister thought that he could no longer tolerate it, and he should mobilize a large army to defeat the Xiongnu, only in this way could the border be peaceful. ”
"Mr. Fu, you should know the current situation in Jizhou. What do you think.... Can you mobilize a large army to meet the Huns? Yuan Xi asked.
"Ugh...."
Fu Zhu sighed and said, "It's really not appropriate to make a big move. But the Huns have bullied us, so we can't just watch him cross the Great Wall and enter Youzhou. Tian Yu and Tian Chou were defended by the Great Wall, but they did not hold it, so how could they be the opponents of the Xiongnu now? The minister still suggested that the troops should be transferred to the gallop to help, and some elites could be transferred as light cavalry. At all costs, the Huns must also be defeated. ”
"Hmm. That's something to consider. Yuan Xi thought of the Pioneer Battalion and the Wolf Cavalry. These two armies, running fast, can reach the front line in a few days at most. Coupled with some giant beasts, it is not difficult to defeat the Huns.
"Mr. Fu, you ordered to go down and prepare dry food for thousands of people..."
"The lord wants to lead the vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry to the battle?" Frustrated, the words are broken.
"In the territory of Jizhou, except for these two armies, they have super combat effectiveness and can rush to the border within a few days. Can any other troops do it? Yuan Xi asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the minister will arrange it."
Frustrated, he retreated.
The invasion of the Xiongnu was not a matter of one or two days, as early as a few months ago, they fought against Tian Yu and Tian Chou. I thought that Tian Yu and Tian Chou had 50,000 troops, plus the Youzhou army of Jiao Touch, which was enough to deal with the Xiongnu. I didn't expect to lose.
Now that the Huns have become a general trend, Yuan Xi also had to strike again.
Next.
Noon.
Zhang Jaw and Li Dian came to the living room of the Assassin's Mansion.
Yuan Xi said straight to the point: "The Xiongnu have invaded the border, and their momentum is huge, and they have captured a section of the Great Wall. Tian Yu and Tian Chou were no match for the Xiongnu and retreated to the Dai County garrison. The Youzhou army of Jiao was also there. We must rush over at once, join them, and fight the Huns together. ”
"When is the lord going to start the army?" Li Dian asked.
"Just for a few days. Go back and get ready, and bring more dry food. This expedition to the frontier may take a long time. Because the iron cavalry of the Huns is good at mobile combat, and it is in the grassland. Yuan Xi said.
"Yes..."
Li Dian and Zhang Jaw's troops are the kings of mobile troops, and they have been strengthened by Yuan Xi, and their galloping speed is far from comparable to that of ordinary war horses. When it comes to grassland warfare, there is absolutely no difficulty.
At this moment, what they were thinking about was not how to defeat the Xiongnu, but how to crush the Xiongnu.
.............
The expedition is imminent, and the trivial matters are constant.
Li Dian and Zhang Jaw went to prepare the necessary dry food for the expedition, and Yuan Xi was not idle. went to the perfume pavilion next to the first restaurant, found the Zhen brothers, and asked about the sale of perfumes.
"In a few days, I will go to the borderland, and the perfume will be left to you. When the time comes, tell the families that if they want the right to wholesale perfumes, they will exchange the land. Whoever gives more land will have a larger amount of wholesale. Also, making perfume requires a large number of petals, which can be purchased in various places in a short time, but after a long time, they cannot be harvested. I will instruct the people of the counties to make a proclamation to encourage the people of the counties to plant roses. Until then, you can also plant some. Respond to emergencies first. Yuan Xi said.
"Yes."
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao glanced at each other and bowed their hands together.
With Yuan Xi's words, they can start to show their strength again. The Zhen family's industry can develop on the one hand of perfume. You can't wholesale perfumes, but you can grow flowers. Flowers and plants are the source of perfume making.
"Can the lord invent something?" Zhen Yao said suddenly.
"What?"
Yuan Xi thought that he had heard it wrong, and after reacting, he said speechlessly: "What are you inventing when I invent something?" Is it a rotten street thing? How can you just invent it? It depends on luck and brains. Why don't you try it? See if you can invent it? ”
"Hey, hey... We don't have that ability. Zhen Yao scratched his head.
"But..."
Yuan Xi paused, and said with a smile: "When I return from the Huns, I can consider it and invent something." Then the invention will be yours. I hope you can take Hebei's economy to a higher level. ”
"Thank you, my lord..."
The two hurriedly thanked each other.
In fact, after two years of development, Hebei's economy has been upgraded to countless levels. Especially after Yuan Xi took control of Jizhou, fine salt, Xi paper, elixir jade liquor, soap, etc., made the merchants and families in the Central Plains all come to Yecheng in Jizhou to wholesale goods, and the amount required is very large, and the money sent to Yecheng every day is like flowing water.
Looking at the whole country, Jizhou's economy has topped the list. If something is invented again, there will be no princes who can suppress Yuan Xi's power economically.
A few days later.
Everything is ready to go.
Zhang Jaw and Li Dian had already led the troops to set off.
Yuan Xi said goodbye to Zhen Mi and Gao Ling and went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden outside the East City.
The guards of the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts are served by Juyi's Praetorian Guards, with more than 3,000 soldiers standing guard and patrolling, and there are many arrow towers and lookouts on the periphery, and the guards are extremely tight. Even if you are within thirty miles of the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, you will be discovered.
Yuan Xi rode the four different phases and flew directly to the sky above the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, found the giant beasts, and summoned them together. Among them is the Titan Monty Python resting in the Jingshan Cave.
Rattle...
Aeolus pterosaurs also hovered overhead.
Heehi...
Roar!
Oh!
Hiss...
In addition to the Titan Monty Python and the Anemo God Pterodactyl, there are also King Kong Giant Ape, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ancient Monitor Lizard, and two mammoths. When Yuan Xi joined them, they all roared.
"It feels good to wear armor, doesn't it?" Yuan Xi walked up to the King Kong giant ape and slashed the steel plate on his leg with his sword: "Bell bell bell..." "Not even a trace.
"Roar..." The King Kong giant ape responded to Yuan Xi.
Wearing armor is like holding countless shields, and you don't have to worry about the enemy's bows and arrows and ordinary attacks, and even if you are shot by a strong crossbow javelin, you will not be injured. Just rush and kill.
The role of armor may not have much effect on King Kong giant apes and mammoths, but it has a vital role for Tyrannosaurus rex. It was supposed to be an invincible existence, but its body was too brittle to withstand the attack of arrows. If he puts on armor, then who else is his opponent?
