Chapter 170: A Call from the Imperial Coalition Headquarters
"For the horse Lingxia, I have heard of it." Mr. Dongfang thought for a while, and then said slowly: "It is rumored that the horse is extremely mysterious, and no one knows his origin, only that he has superb martial arts and outstanding literary talents.
Wen Neng is comparable to the four great scholars of the Wenfang Palace, and Wu Neng faces the four great martial arts commanders of the Wuying Palace. One of the most legendary deeds is the bloody battle of Hongdemen, where it is said that the horse not only killed the four great military commanders with true qi cultivation, but also suppressed more than 10,000 Ouchi guards alone, killing more than 4,000 people, and the rest were surrendered. ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Dongfang smiled, then shook his head and said: "When I heard this rumor, I was already skeptical, but when I saw Long Jiuzhong join the camp of the second prince, I knew that this was a lie, if the rumor is true, then how can Long Jiuzhong live?" ”
"It's not a rumor, it's true." Nangong Xiongba was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "When there was a rebellion in the palace, the four of Long Jiuzhong led more than 10,000 Ouchi guards to kill the king and seize power, but they were stopped in front of Hongde Gate by the horse alone, and the rebels charged several times, but they failed to move forward. ”
Then, Nangong Xiongba recounted the details of the year to Mr. Dongfang in detail, although he did not come to the scene in person, but he knew everything about the year, although he was also surprised why Long Jiuzhong did not die? But anyway? Ling Xia's experience of killing Xu Chunyang and slaughtering more than 4,000 Ouchi guards is true.
After listening to Nangong Xiongba's description, a trace of shock flashed on Mr. Dongfang's face, and after calming down, he said thoughtfully: "Although I still can't believe this fact, since the Metropolitan Governor said so, then all this must be true."
No wonder the Metropolitan Governor is so obsessed with the Horse Master, if he is really as powerful as the Metropolitan Governor said, it can be comparable to the Zhenguo Gong to win the sky, but since the ------ Horse is so powerful, how can he be beaten by the princess and have no power to fight back? ”
"Huh? As soon as you said this, I remembered that the colt was so powerful, how could he be beaten by the princess again and again? Puzzled, Nangong Xiongba's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that he was beaten on purpose?" As far as I know about the princess, she would never cooperate with the colt in such a pretentious manner, what is going on? ”
"Although the princess will not cooperate with the colt to act, the colt can lead the princess's actions." He whispered with a smile, and Mr. Dongfang seemed to have figured out something, and said with a smile: "Interesting, it seems that every time I receive a conscription order, I have ulterior motives to go to the princess to say goodbye." ”
"Mr. Dongfang, do you have any way to recruit the horses? He is the number one warrior in the world who was enshrined by the first emperor, and if he comes to the northern theater, he will definitely be able to boost morale and deter the opposing camp. After finishing speaking, Nangong Xiongba sighed a little frustrated: "It's a pity that I failed to find him twice when I was recruited, alas, ---- worry me to death." ”
"The Metropolitan doesn't need to worry." After a word of comfort, Mr. Dongfang stroked his beard with a smile, and after a little thought, he said to Nangong Xiongba: "There is a plan under the law, which can make the horses obediently come to the war zone to participate in the war, but this matter still needs the cooperation of the national abbot, because looking at the first two examples, if you want to recruit this world's number one warrior, you must have three camps to work together." ”
……
Penglai Frontier, a chaotic territory that was previously a mess, has now returned to its former order, with the people helping each other to build houses, the catchers patrolling from the borrowed roads, and the war guards helping the victims to transport daily necessities, and the order in the provinces has gradually returned to normal.
Ling Xia stood in front of the boundary monument of Penglai Frontier, looking at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in the distance, he instructed Chen Fuchen, Ji Siming, Liu Xian, and Bai Zhanyun to build a defensive line.
When the disaster relief situation in the four territories was coming to an end, Ling Xia, after careful consideration, handed over Yanxiujiang to Chen Fuchen, Penglaijiang to Ji Siming, Hong Zejiang to Liu Xian, and Cheng'an to Bai Zhanyun. Because of the disaster relief, the people in the jurisdiction only believe in Ling Xia, so the officials appointed by Ling Xia and the disaster victims in all territories support and maintain.
When natural disasters and man-made disasters were rampant, no one helped those victims, only Ling Xia raised food and materials, and sent special personnel to help several territories for disaster relief and reconstruction, and the disaster relief team of millions of people was busy for nearly a year, and finally repaired several fragmented territories.
As Emperor Xia Yuanxiao worried, Ling Xia has paid a lot of material resources, financial resources, manpower, and hard work for several disaster-stricken territories, but at the same time he will also gain a lot, after this disaster relief, Cheng'an Xinjiang, Hong Zejiang, Yanxiu Jiang, and Penglai Xinjiang are all in the hands of Ling Xia, if someone stands up at this time and says that several territories belong to the imperial court, it is estimated that the victims will have to jump up and fight hard.
Accommodating these four territories, plus Ling Xia's Ziyan Frontier and Xia Ning'er's Liuli Frontier, the two of them are equivalent to sitting on six territories, and it is even more coincidental that these six territories take care of each other, if you look at the military terrain, the six territories are connected into an excellent position, and this is also the reason why Ling Xia spent his efforts to arrange all this.
Although this earthquake destroyed countless buildings, but this also gave Ling Xia a convenience, he can rebuild the defense line, at this moment, in front of Ling Xia and several people is a huge pit cracked after the earthquake, the pit is about 100 meters wide, about 10 meters deep, hundreds of miles long, the most important thing is that this is the only passage in and out of the northern theater of operations, the left and right sides are mountains and forests, and it is impassable at all.
Looking at a deep pit, Ling Xia asked Ji Siming to mobilize the disaster victims in the territory, use the deep pit as the boundary, transform it into a natural fortress, and send people to build a city wall hundreds of miles long from the south side of the deep pit, this city wall is the first line of defense against foreign enemies, and behind the city wall to build a residence for the aquarantine, to ensure that it can accommodate five million soldiers and horses.
Then, Ling Xia asked Chen Fuchen to dig a river channel from the territory of Yanxiu Xinjiang, divert the water of the Huangshui River into the deep pit, and let this deep pit serve as the second avenue defense line, and then, build a city wall from the north side of the deep pit for hundreds of miles, which is the third line of defense, once the war spreads, these three lines of defense will be a place to save lives.
Just as Ling Xia was holding the map and commanding everyone to deploy the border defense line, Lao Cui hurriedly came here to find Ling Xia, and as soon as they met, Lao Cui said anxiously: "Master Ma, go back and have a look, the prince, the second prince, and the emperor jointly sent Qin to the division to station, saying that they want to convey to you the conscription order of the coalition headquarters." ”
"What? Did they send a messenger over? Ling Xia was stunned.
