Chapter 379: Yingdu Copes
The Xincai Huimeng is the most powerful alliance in the Central Plains in the past ten years, and the Jing State, which was the first to be targeted, naturally knew about it early, and the Jing State was all the middle and lower-class small clans of the Chu State in the past, and some even got up from the nameless and nameless subordinates, and the Chu State was an enemy who did not share the sky, and now the momentum of the Xincai Huimeng is enough to make the Jing State feel great pressure.
Even Zhu Rong Tiangong, who was bedridden, got the news, his face was pale, his face was like ashes, he pinched the brocade quilt on the bed fiercely, and said angrily: "Spread the edict to the kings, recruit troops and horses, and fight back against the Chu State!" ”
In fact, Gongzi Miyun returned from the Qin State, and after learning that the Xincai Huimeng was the general trend, he had already ordered the Jing State to prepare for war, and the Dongzhu State of Hengshan County was bordered by the western border of the Chu State.
Subsequently, the king of Nan, who guarded the two counties of Yuzhang and Guiyang, also sent back the news: the warships of Wu had already marched to the area of Songyang, eyeing the Pengli Lake in Yuzhang.
Moreover, Xiong Ji, who attacked and captured Nanjun, also sent back the news, saying that the Qin State also sent hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in Ruoguan in Nanjun, which seemed to have the intention of going south, and Huan Yu of Jingling was also secretly colluding with the Qin people, and the situation was in crisis!
A pile of news pressed Gongzi Miyun almost out of breath, fortunately Zhewang Qu Yan returned to Yingdu, and said to the lone son of Zhurong Tiangong in the mortal world: "A certain Zhecheng has always been rich, since it is now a time of national disaster, Zhecheng can take out food to recruit troops for Jing State!" ”
Although Zhewang is only a few counties, but in fact, these places are almost the richest granaries in Jing Kingdom, and Zhewang Qu Yan has always known how to protect himself, so he smashed Zhecheng Tun and laid down a large amount of grain, which was originally prepared for the soldiers of Zhewang's army for several years, but now Zhewang Qu Yan has taken it all out, which makes Mi Yun very moved.
Compared with the misdeeds of the two people of the East Pillar Kingdom and Xiong Ji of the West Pillar Kingdom, this King Qu Yan is a person who treats Tiangong wholeheartedly, Tiangong is bedridden, and Qu Yan's loyalty is also handed over to Mi Yun.
Before he had time to move Mi Yun, Qu Yan, who was already panting while walking, had not rested, and then said: "A certain has already sent the scouts under his command in the past to find out the food situation of the two armies of Mi Cheng and Xiong Ji, and the number of soldiers and horses handed over to Yingdu is only half of the actual military strength of these two people. ”
Mi Yun nodded, and was about to speak, when someone outside the door spread that the king of the south had come to Yingdu and was asking to see him outside the house!
Qu Yan was also surprised: "It is said that Yuzhang has already discovered the soldiers and horses of Wu, and the foundation of the king of the south is very shallow, and it is really not a wise move to return to Yingdu in this matter......"
When Gongzi Miyun heard this, he sneered: "Compared with Mi Cheng and Xiong Ji's refusal to return to Yingdu, Nanwang is already a rare loyal person like King Zhe in Jing Kingdom!" ”
Immediately, Mi Yun sent someone to the door of the house to answer the South King in, and the rich state of King Zhe Qu Yan is different, this South King has a thin face, but his eyes are revealing a resolute color, and when he enters the hall of Mi Yun, he also respectfully bowed, not like the etiquette of Jing Chu, but somewhat similar to the gift of Ji Zhou in the Central Plains.
"King Nan doesn't have to be polite, I think I also heard about the new Cai Huimeng of Chu State, and King Nan returned in a hurry, right?" Mi Yun stretched out his hand and motioned for King Nan to sit down.
King Nan didn't have time to sit down, so he said: "Jing Chu is the enemy of Dai Tian, today's Xincai Huimeng had already expected it when he entered Jing more than a year ago, but he didn't expect that Chu State's counterattack would be so menacing!" ”
"Zhewang!" King Nan also bowed to Qu Yan.
"Well......" Qu Yan nodded lightly, if the former king of the south was here, Qu Yan would not be so complex, not just that he thought that the king of the south was very qualified, but that the king of the south was from the Central Plains, and he was named the king of the south by the prince of heaven but had no size, but he used a pair of sharp mouths to get it.
Therefore, King Zhe, who relied on his military exploits, naturally looked down on this "tongue-in-cheek" king of the south.
It seemed that he noticed Qu Yan's disdain, and after the king of Nan sat down, he asked Qi Yun: "Does the prince have a good plan to deal with the new Cai Huimeng of the Chu State?" ”
Mi Yun nodded: "I plan to let go of Yingdu's arsenal, and King Zhe has already promised to take out food, that is, to recruit a new army to support everywhere!" ”
This was an extremely pertinent answer, but the king of the south nodded, and there was no answer.
"How many soldiers can I recruit?"
"About 300,000, of which only 100,000 are leather armor soldiers, and the rest are cloth soldiers!"
Qu Yan saw all this in his eyes, and at the moment he thought that the king of Nan, who had no ability, was afraid of the Wu ** team who came to Songyang to coerce Peng Li, and then abandoned the duty of guarding Yuzhang and Guiyang: "Hmph! Nanwang looked like he was returning in a hurry, did he plan to hide in Yingdu to take refuge? ”
"King Zhe has misunderstood!" King Nan glanced at King Zhe and explained, "A certain return to Yingdu is here to save Jing Guo's crisis this time!" ”
When Mi Yun heard this, he remembered the words of the Heavenly Palace that day, and was overjoyed at the moment, looked at King Nan and asked, "What is King Nan's good plan!" ”
Nanwang replied: "Since seven years ago, he was ordered by the Heavenly Lord to shepherd Yuzhang and Guiyang, build water conservancy, expand hundreds of miles of Pengli, and lock the flood of the river, and now Yuzhang and Guiyang are rich lands, and the accumulation of several years has accumulated a lot of grain. ”
"This ......" Not only Gongzi Qiyun, but even the Zhewang Qu Yan on the side also widened his eyes in surprise, Gongzi Qiyun came back to his senses, looked at Nanwang and asked, "What Nanwang said is true?!" ”
It's no wonder why Mi Yun didn't believe in the words of the King of the South, if Changsha County had not yet reached the level of civilization in the Central Plains, then Yuzhang and Guiyang had not experienced much human development, and even in the mountains of Yuzhang and Guiyang, there were still wild people who could not speak the language, and Ru Mao drank blood, among which there were many mountains and tombs, and the rivers that often flooded almost all the places available for cultivation.
Seeing the strong disbelief in the eyes of Mi Yun and Zhewang Qu Yan, King Nan also solemnly swore an oath: "Some, there is no lie!" ”
Qu Yan looked at King Nan, who no longer had the contemptuous look he had before, and reminisced from his surprise, Qu Yan asked, "How many soldiers can fight under King Nan's command!" ”
"Two hundred thousand!" King Nan replied, and then added: "A certain is a native of the Central Plains, so unlike the kings of Jing State, according to the standard of Jing ** horse, the 200,000 soldiers under a certain command are the best leather armor army with complete swords and armor!" ”
"200,000 Armor !!" Mi Yun held his breath, he was simply stunned by this number!
Qu Yan was also very surprised, but after all, he had experienced the battle of Yingdu and other scenes of millions of people, so he continued to ask calmly: "Where is the grain?" ”
Nanwang replied: "It has not been calculated, a certain is also modeled after the granary system set up in the Central Plains, and county warehouses have been set up in Yuzhang and Guiyang counties, and the news that the Xincai Huimeng of Chu State is already gathering grain, and it is estimated that there are at least one million stones!" ”
"At least a million stone !!"
When Gongzi Miyun heard these figures, his excitement was already incomprehensible, even King Zhe Qu Yan, after getting the reply from King Nan, looked at Gongzi Miyun with a wry smile and said: "What King Nan said, it really makes a certain person ashamed, the production of a rich land like Zhecheng over the years is actually not as good as the poor mountains and bad waters such as Yuzhang and Guiyang!" ”
"What are you talking about?" King Nan got up, bowed to King Zhe and said: "King Zhe is only the land of a few counties under his jurisdiction, and a certain is a place where two counties are governed, and over the years, King Zhe has borne the number of grains of the armies of Jing State, which has fallen a certain amount. ”
King Zhe stood up with his bloated body, walked to King Nan's side, and then carefully looked at King Nan, and finally sighed: "Tiangong is really a wise talent!" didn't let go of a certain Jing country's national salvation talents! ”
At that moment, King Zhe turned to Gongzi Qiyun and said: "Your Highness, please give the right to the generals of the Jing Kingdom of the Southern King, and this time deal with the new Cai Huimeng of the Chu State, and the Southern King will command the troops to adjust the defense!" ”
"This ......" King Nan heard this, and hurriedly excused himself: "What King Zhe said must not be taken seriously, Your Highness, a certain entourage is good at governing places, but not good at leading troops to fight, I am afraid that the entrustment will not work, and the death will be small, if it harms Jing Guo, it will be irreparable!" ”
Seeing the farce in front of him, Gongzi Miyun finally reflected, swept away the previous gloom clouds shrouded in his heart because of the new Cai Huimeng of the Chu State, and looked at the King of the South and the King of Zhe Qu Yan and said: "The Heavenly Lord previously instructed me to rely on two people, namely the King of Zhe and the King of the South, both of whom are rare generals and talents of my Dajing, and now the new Cai Huimeng of the Chu State is eyeing my Dajing, and the King of Zhe and the King of the South might as well teach me the way to save the country!" ”
"Good (good)!" King Nan and King Zhe answered at the same time.
Mi Yun asked people to bring the map of the vicinity of Jing Kingdom, most of the maps of Jing Kingdom are the remnants of the old Chu royal family in Yingdu, so this map still has the marks of Deng and Sui and other Han water princesses.
King Nan arched his hand and said to Mi Yun and Qu Yan: "A certain place that has lived in the south for a long time, I don't know the news, I just learned the news of the Chu State Xincai Huimeng, as for the rest, I don't know much, and I ask His Royal Highness Gongzi and King Zhe to inform me carefully!" ”
When Mi Yun heard this, he immediately explained the confusion for the king of the south: "The new Cai Huimeng of the state of Chu has attracted the princes to crusade against my Dajing together with the state of Chu, and the main thing is that there are still four soldiers and horses, and the vassal states such as the state of Wu and other vassal states that pass through the rule of the king of the south, and the state of Chu is an army of 500,000 on the northeast road, attacking the Hengshan County guarded by the east pillar country, and the west road is the small princes of the country of Ba and the state of Yong, which is not enough to trouble......"
For some reason, Mi Yun put the first army of the northern route of the Qin State at the end, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so that the king of the south himself guessed: "The rest of the way should be the Hanshui Zhuji of the northern road?" ”
Mi Yunnai shook his head, "The King of the South doesn't know, a few years ago, the Jing Kingdom was the Northern Expedition, and it has already wiped out all the Hanshui Zhuji......"
"Destroyed the Hanshui Zhuji? ......" King Nan accepted this fact, and looked along the map, since the Hanshui Zhuji no longer existed, then the army of the North Road naturally involved the princes of the Central Plains, and the King of Nan swept his eyes upward, his eyes were stagnant, and the end of his sight was marked with the words "Nanyang" and "Shen", and at the moment Nanwang's pupils shrank, and he actually guessed in surprise and asked: "Isn't it...... Qin State! ”
"Exactly!" Mi Yun nodded solemnly: "A few years ago, the army of the Qin State defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jing State, so as to divide the South County and Jiangxia County and rule the river, and now it is Xiong Ji of the West Pillar Kingdom who guards the South County!" ”
"It's really the ...... of the Qin Kingdom," Nanwang muttered, and for some reason, when Mi Yun mentioned this Qin Kingdom, Nanwang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable surge.
King Zhe added from the side: "Huan Yu has been attached to the Qin State, and now the Qin people have gathered an army of 300,000 in Nanjun!" ”
The number of 300,000 troops made Nanwang's face also appear different.
At that moment, King Qu Yan looked at King Nan and asked, "King Nan heard that the 300,000 army of Wu and the 500,000 army of Chu have not changed color, why do you care so much about the 300,000 army of Qin?" ……”
King Nan explained: "When I traveled around the world, I also experienced the Qin State, and the Qin State was just a weak country, and I didn't expect that today's Qin State can actually mobilize 300,000 troops!" ”
When Gongzi Qiyun heard this, he also sighed at the moment, and said: "Yes, the development of the Qin Kingdom is also a recent thing, and it is not surprising that the King of the South does not know!" ”
Immediately, Qi Yun looked at the King of the South and the King of Zhe, Qu Yan, and asked, "The two of you have a good plan to deal with it!" ”
The matter of military warfare is undoubtedly more authoritative King Qu Yan, so Qu Yan said: "Now that Jing has soldiers and food, this battle is not difficult to fight, although there are some disagreements between Qi and Xiong Ji, but after all, they are not with Chu State, both of them are the generals of Jing State's sole leader, so Chu State was thrown to Mi Cheng to deal with, Qin State let Xiong Ji resist, as for the lack of soldiers and major generals, from Yingdu to send troops to support, the West Road Ba Yong and others are all small countries, with Chu State is just taking advantage of the fire to rob, so send an army to defend according to the danger of Wuling, and fight and retreat, in the future, the Jing Kingdom will be stable in itself, and it will not be able to recover Wuling......"
"As for the state of Wu on the southeast road...... The king of the south has a lot of soldiers, so it is nothing more than to assign a few brave generals to go, but it is not difficult to deal with it......"
Before King Zhe could stop, King Nan spoke: "King Zhe doesn't have to think about the state of Wu all the way to the southeast!" ”
Qu Yan was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
King Nan told the truth: "The new Cai Huimeng of the State of Wu entered the Chu State this time, but it was only powerful, but it was unintentional...... Previously, the envoy of Wu State pretended to be a merchant from Yue State and had negotiated with a certain person, saying that Wu State had not waited for Chu State or other roads to make a breakthrough in the southeast road, and would definitely not meet with Jing State. ”
"Isn't this a trick by Wu State?"
Nanwang replied: "I had such concerns before, but I said that I was willing to secretly trade a batch of Wu State's armaments to Jing State, which is the scale of 100,000 Gejia troops, and now more than half of them are in the hands of Yuzhang and Guiyang armies, so it can be seen that Wu Guo's Xincai Huimeng is planning to watch the fire from the other side......"
When Qu Yan heard this, his bloated body shook a little, and he saw that his fat right palm fell on the table hard, and he said excitedly: "It's really heaven's help!" ”
