"My lord, it is really unwise for the royal guest to draw famous generals from various countries at a time when the Central Plains is worried about internal and external troubles. In the future, it will become a great harm and will further aggravate the turmoil in the Central Plains. The minister may go here for two years, or five or six years, and the king should discuss more with Zhao Shuai, Gao Xun, Chen Shang, Xun Mu and others in case of trouble, think twice before acting, don't act rashly, and ask the king to know the truth. ”

"Wei Qing is willing to die for the widow, and it is difficult to repay the widow for all his life, Wei Qing can rest assured, if there is an accident, the widow will definitely treat Wei Qing's family well, so that they will be graced and enjoy glory forever for generations......" Almost choked up and said the last sentence, Jiang Hai sat on the bed and was eclipsed, and the frustration and chagrin in his heart jumped on his face at this moment.

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) bowed heavily and said:

"Thank you, King Longen!"

"It's not too early, General Wei will go back first, you don't have to go to court in the next few days, you have the right to act cheaply, and mobilize people as soon as possible."

"Thank you...... King. ”

Bowing down, Bailiyan slowly withdrew from the inner hall, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart set off a monstrous wave. He began to hate the world, the world, and it was difficult to understand what was being done under this order.

Leaving Ouchi, the horse galloped on the silent street, wantonly and frantically venting his inner depression and dissatisfaction, and the sentries who disturbed the night patrol along the way moved to chase after him.

"Quick, don't let that guy run, chase!"

The captain of the hundred men shouted loudly, blew the copper whistle to summon the people and horses, Jiang Jie rode behind him, and when he heard that the police whistle was loud, he also took out the copper whistle and blew the release order.

"The rider in front of him is the Great Sima Envoy, stop whistling!"

Jiang Jie shouted, and the centurion came to interrogate when he heard the news:

"Your Excellency is!"

"Wei Mansion!"

Jiang Jie handed over the waist card, and the centurion checked that it was correct and returned it!

"Please also report to the city government Sima to avoid misunderstandings!"

"Got it, you wait to continue the night patrol."

"No!"

The copper whistle is the security supplies produced by Yongxing City last year, and it is widely equipped in various armies to facilitate the unified command of soldiers and soldiers.

Bailiyan galloped all the way at this time, and finally stopped the war horse at the south gate, and slashed at a ginkgo tree:

"Why, why, why ......"

Shouting, the long-term depression and anger, wanton catharsis in the shouting, Jiang Jie led people to ride over, and the shock in his heart jumped on his face:

"Adult ......"

"Go away! Leave me alone! ”

"My lord, what happened to make my lord so angry."

Bai Liyan continued to slash the big tree wantonly, ignoring Jiang Jie and the others at all. Until he was exhausted, he could no longer wield a steel knife, and sat on his horse sweating profusely and panting, his eyes full of anger:

"Jiang Jie!"

"The subordinates are here."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will send people to inform Sikong Nan, Lu Gao, Lu Zhao, Xu Fei, Su Hong, Bai He, Wu Deng, Jiang Zhan, Lu Cheng, Fang Qian, Guan Longxiang, Zhao Ju and his son, Liu Zao and his son, and Yang Dun to discuss the military plane in Yongxing City, and the order must be delivered to all places within three days.

"No!" Jiang Jie got the order, and asked cautiously: "My lord, are you okay?" ”

"Go home."

"Yes!"

The new policy has improved slightly, and the political situation that has been maintained so hard has just opened up, and the imperial speed order is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, falling on the top of Baili Yan's head for a moment, and years of hard work have come to naught.

The anger and unwillingness in his heart poured down like an erupting volcano, ruthlessly trampling on wounds, ruthlessly and ruthlessly tearing every inch of wounds, every inch of flesh and blood, as if to throw him into the fire of destruction.

Back at the Wei Mansion, it was already the second half of the night, Bailiyan poured herself a drink in the back hall of the atrium until dawn, and the inner hall was full of wine.

At dawn, Jiang Rong went to the atrium with her stomach up, and when she smelled the wine, she found the inner hall, and saw Baili Yan lying on the couch drunk, and suddenly called the servant to ask:

"When did you go back to the house last night, why are you so drunk!"

"Mrs. Hui, my lord went back to the house in the middle of the night last night, and I was extremely angry for some reason, and I drank it all night." The servant replied cautiously.

"Where is Jiang Jie, where is Jiang Jie!"

"Mrs. Hui, the guards have taken people out of the city at dawn."

"Go, help the adults into my room."

"No."

Walking into the front of the couch, Jiang Rong sat down and took Baili Yan into her chest:

"Wei Xian, Wei Xian!"

After urging twice, Bailiyan was drunk and unconscious, and Jiang Rong urged the servants to carry her back to the room to rest.

On that day, King Xian made an exception for the first time in three years, and there was no early dynasty in the absence of major incidents, but he summoned Princess Lanyuan in Bailing Garden. Knowing that Baili Yan was marching south, Princess Lan Yuan slapped the table and glared at her angrily:

"Brother Wang, how did you promise me that you would never allow him to fight in front of the battle, and now why do you go back on your word. Where is Qianyue Mountain, it is a place of death where there is no return, what kind of heart are you pressing, is it possible that you are afraid that Wei Xiangong will shake the Lord and take your throne! ”

"Enough!"

King Xian shouted, and Princess Lanyuan pointed at Jiang Hai in surprise:

"You, huh!"

"Do you think that the widow is willing to order Wei Xian to lead the army to the south, and the royal guest and the royal speed order are here, and no one in the world dares to disobey! If Wei Xian doesn't go, the widow's Xianguo will be in danger of destroying the country, and the widow has to do this, understand! ”

"Can't you change someone else's southern expedition!" Princess Lan Yuan cried, tears sliding down her eyes.

"Then who else in my Xianguo can be worthy of this important task, if there is, as long as Wang Mei finds out even one, the widow will crown him as the general of the country, the title of duke, worship the secretary, and the widow will marry the princess to him, is there any! Who! ”

"Then you can't hurt him! What should I do with my buns......"

"Then who understands the difficulty of widows! The royal guest can't be provoked, no one in the world can afford to provoke, even Liang Tianzi, who exists in name only, and the widow can't afford to provoke him, and Wang Mei makes the widow helpless. ”

"It's your reason inside and out, Fu'er's marriage has been publicized, if Wei Xian has three long and two short, how can it be good."

"Wei Xian gave up his life for the sake of the widow's country, can the widow spare the name of a niece!"

"You ......" Lan Yuan froze, trembling and almost fainting.

At this time, the king of Xian said:

"If Wei Qing has an accident, it is best for Fu'er to keep the festival, and the widow will crown her as the wife of the protector, if not, the widow will allow her to remarry."

"Fu'er is going to be widowed when she is in her prime, how can you bear it as an uncle!"

"The widow has made up his mind, and there is no need to say more. Nine days later, the edict was issued to the world, and Wei Xian was named the general of the Southern Expedition, and set off ten days later. I haven't slept all night, the widow is tired, Wang Mei should also take care of the family affairs as soon as possible, don't leave regrets. ”

After speaking, King Xian stood up and disappeared on the royal road in a chariot.

At noon, Baili Yan woke up, his head was still groggy, he reached out and touched it, only to feel that it was a woman, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Jiang Rong pulling the curtain and hugging him nakedly.

"It's you."

Jiang Rong was distracted and said:

"Isn't it good?"

"It's good."

"Lying to people, I never see you sweetly coaxing me on weekdays, how do you know how to deceive people today."

Bai Liyan sat up, took Jiang Rong into her arms with her backhand, stroked her huge belly and said softly:

"It would be nice if I could live a small life with a few of you in my arms all the time."

"Hmph, you are the busiest in Xianguo, and it is rare for my body to touch it, do you still have a little conscience?"

"When I come back from my southern expedition, I will take you to spend a few days of idle clouds and wild cranes, I will fish, you cook, and give birth to a lot of children and grandchildren, and then ......"

"Wait, what did you just say, what a southern expedition!" Jiang Rong said with a straight face, regardless of her huge belly, she sat up.

Bai Liyan lifted the futon and sat down, without the slightest fluctuation on her face:

"The situation in Qianyue Mountain is dangerous, and the royal guest is difficult to parry, so the famous generals of various countries are recruited to go south to participate in the war, and the husband is unfortunately the royal guest general, and he must arrive within three months. Hence ......"

"Woo...... You did it on purpose......"

Jiang Rong suddenly cried, and tears suddenly rolled down her eyes, like a child.

"It's because my husband can't stand your mother and daughter, and I don't want to go, but the situation is difficult, and I can't make the decision."

"That's a dead land......"

"I know, so if I have three longs and two shorts, this family will be handed over to you."

"I don't want ...... I don't want ......"

"Don't think nonsense, how can there be a reason to die so easily......"

Bai Liyan knew very well in her heart that if she went to 30,000 people here, she could bring back 10,000 people alive, even if she was a god who had accumulated yin virtue.

According to the war situation recorded in the classics of the past dynasties, seven or eight out of ten of the vassal states that went south to fight were killed in battle, half of them died of altitude sickness, pulmonary edema, and wind chill, and half of them died of starvation, freezing, and war.

In the battle of Qianyue Mountain in 498 of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the peak strength of the coalition army reached 1.5 million people, and the number of vassal states and royal guests participating in the war was 3.25 million, and the war lasted for seven years, and the princes of the Central Plains recruited more than 17 million people, and the survival rate of the soldiers was less than 40%, the survival rate of the people was 70%, and the number of dead and wounded was as many as millions.

Wars often lasted for two years and five or six years for the longest, and have become a serious military and political obstacle to the reunification of the Central Plains.

"Don't cry, I'm going to Yongxing City immediately, it's hard to say whether I can come back or not."

"Don't go!"

Suddenly hugged behind her back, Jiang Rong snuggled up to that wide and thick shoulder, silently holding tears. Bailiyan struggled to break away, straightened her clothes, and opened the door.

Yuke was only given ten days to go on the road, and most of them were planted in the city of Chenling to monitor and collect intelligence from various countries, and Bailiyan began to hate the Yuke community more and more.

When he arrived at Yongxing City, it was already dark, Guan Longxiang's eldest son Guan Longfan suddenly had a cold and high fever, and the Du family prescribed two pairs of medicines in a row to see that he got better, and Guan Longxiang, who was in a hurry, did not close his eyes for four days.

"Adults come here late at night, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Mr. Guan Long is not more formal, how is the condition of the young son."

"The high fever has subsided, and there is no major problem. I wonder if the adults hurriedly gathered their subordinates to march westward with troops? ”

Bai Liyan glanced left and right, and came to no man's land with Guan Longxiang and said:

"The king ordered that the expedition to the south should be carried out within ten days."

"What, Southern Expedition!" Guan Longxiang was taken aback.

"Sir, do you know the Imperial Speed Order?"

"Royal Speed Order? In the next lonely and unheard, please also ask the adults to teach. ”

Bai Liyan said in detail, Guan Longxiang was unbelievable:

"There is such an iron decree in the world."

"Exactly, Wei was also forced by the situation and had to go. But there is one thing that Wei is puzzled about, I don't know if Mr. Guan Long can understand the clues? ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Wei listened to what the king said, this royal speed order is afraid that there is a hidden secret, if it is disrespectful, there will be great disadvantages in the future, if it is ordered, there will be great benefits in the future. But the king never talked about the two things that mattered, and I don't know if Mr. Guan Long knew the mystery. ”

"This ...... Do you know that one hundred and seventy-eight years ago, the eldest Sun Guo and Sun Guo fought in the South Tianling Ridge, and Sun Guo was defeated? ”

"I have indeed seen one or two from the classics, it was one of the few big victories in the Changsun Kingdom, and the land of the five counties was cut away from the Sun Kingdom, and it became a powerful country in the Central Plains, what does this matter have to do with the royal guest?"

"It is rumored that one hundred and forty-two years ago, Yuke also issued a royal order, Sun Guo was busy fighting for hegemony, did not respect the order, after the battle of Qianyue Mountain, Sun Guo wanted to swallow up the eldest grandson, the battle of Nantianling, it is believed that Yuke attacked Sun Guo's camp at night, Sun army casualties 60,000, Sun Guo's vanguard 100,000 people were almost wiped out, resulting in the defeat of Sun Guo."

"And that kind of thing!" Bailiyan was taken aback.

After that, Sun Guo collapsed, during this period Sun Guo was resisted by hundreds of schools, people's livelihood withered, business canals were blocked, coupled with frequent floods, which eventually led to the decline of national strength for decades, and was finally defeated by Zhiguo. On the contrary, the Zhong family, which is now the ancestor of the Guardian of the Country, was famous all over the world because of the battle of Qianyue Mountain, which led to the future Patriotic Empire to swallow the three kingdoms of Xue, Liao, and Che. ”

"I never thought that there would be such a shady deal behind the Royal Speed Order."

"Adults don't know, these are all rumors, never seen in any classic historical materials, but they must have a lot to do with the Royal Speed Order."

"In that case, if my king does not make this order, only the remaining four and a half counties of Xianguo will also be in the pocket of other countries in the future!"

"It should be like this, the royal guests are all over the world, and no one dares to provoke them, not even the lord of the country, let alone a general. If the Xianguo is a big country, it is still profitable to respect the order, and now the Xianguo country is small, even if it has the acquiescence of the royal guest, what can be done about it, unless there are princes who dare to disrespect the order and offend the royal guest, my Xianguo is still profitable, but I don't know what the general is going to do? ”

"At the moment, we can only take advance as retreat, take one step at a time. The king allowed me 30,000 soldiers to march south, but I don't know what the difference between the Imperial Speed Order and the coalition army is, so I can only go first and then make plans. ”

The Imperial Speed Order is a forced conscription order to recruit famous generals, and it is customary not to carry soldiers and horses with them, which means that it is not to go to the frontal charge, if so, then there is only one possibility. There is a set of institutions similar to the General Staff within the Imperial Guest, which requires famous generals with great combat experience in each vassal state to formulate strategic plans.

Unlike the role of a strategist, the role of a strategist is more of a civilian job that provides advice and analyzes the logic of intelligence, and is overwhelmingly civilian, similar to a staff advisor. The famous generals of the princely states were responsible for integrating the suggested strategies provided by the strategists and the analyzed intelligence, formulating a set of effective strategic battle plans, and implementing them, planning for the collective action of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of legions.
