Chapter 665: Restless Neighbors

In less than three months, the Han army captured the thirty-nine provinces of the entire Dawan Kingdom and the sixteen vassal states attached to the Dawan Kingdom, making the entire Western Regions under the wings of the Dahan, which made the neighbors around the Han suddenly uneasy.

In the felt bag of the Xiongnu royal court Hun Khan Luan Timao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Luan Tisu said to his father in a deep voice: "Father Khan, the news that the Han State has annexed the Western Regions Dawan State has been confirmed, and now the entire Western Regions has become the territory of the Han State. ”

The Xiongnu Khan Luan Ti rubbed his temples, and then frowned and said: "Our Xiongnu lost more than one million cavalry in the last war with the Broken Army, and the entire Xiongnu tribe only has about 2.7 million cavalry left, although after more than two years of recuperation, the total strength of our Xiongnu tribe has reached 3.5 million, but compared with the army of the Han State, there is a huge difference in strength, and the Xiongnu tribes must not be allowed to go to the territory of the Han State to fight the autumn wind in the future!" ”

Luan Tisu, the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, nodded and said: "According to the news from the territory of the Han State, the Han State now has fourteen strong legions, of which six of the legions have a strength of two million, and the strength of the remaining eight legions is also more than 1.6 million, not to mention that the Han State also has a number of elite troops with a large number of people, with the strength of our Huns, it can barely deal with the two legions of the Han State, so our Huns must live in harmony with the strong enemy of the Han State for a long time in the future." ”

The Great Khan of the Xiongnu Luan Ti sighed and said: "Through the annexation of the Great Wan Kingdom by the Han State this time, the Great Khan is worried that the emperor of the Han State will be greedy for the vast grassland, which will be a disaster for us Xiongnu and even all the ethnic groups of the entire grassland." ”

Luan Tisu, the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, pondered for a while and said: "What Father Khan said makes sense, in this case, it is best for our Xiongnu to form an alliance with the five tribes of Khitan, Xirong, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma in private, once the Han invades the grassland, as long as our six tribes unite, there may not be no chance of victory, don't look at the Han State now has so many troops, but it is impossible for the Han State to send so many troops to the grassland, the Lu State in the southeast of the Han State, and the Europa Empire in the Western Continent, can contain most of the strength of the Han army. ”

The Hun Great Khan Luan Timao nodded and said: "Luan Tisu, your suggestion is good, and this Great Khan also has this idea, so this matter will be left to you!" ”

"Father Khan, rest assured, the child will definitely promote this secret alliance of the six strong clans of the grassland."

In a huge felt bag of the Khitan royal court tribe, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Dilie said to Yelu Mingbao, the Khitan Zuoxian King, and Yelu Chuji, the Khitan Right Xian King: "The Xiongnu have sent an envoy to form a secret alliance against the Han State with our Khitan, as well as Xirong, Donghu, Tiele, and Karasuma, to guard against the great trouble of the grassland tribes!" What do the Left Virtuous Kings and the Right Virtuous Kings think about this matter? ”

Zuoxian King Yelu Mingbao and Right Xianwang Yelu Chuji looked at each other, and then Zuoxian King Yelu Mingbao spoke first: "Great Khan, the Han State has annexed the entire Western Regions, and the combat effectiveness of its army is even stronger to the point of shocking, and the predecessor of the Han army, the Broken Army, has many contradictions with our Khitan people, if the Han army finds trouble with our Khitan people in the future, it is really difficult to resist the powerful Han army by relying only on our Khitan people, so this king agrees to form a secret alliance with the Xiongnu, Xirong and other tribes. ”

Yelu Chuji, the king of Youxian, immediately said: "Great Khan, now the strength of the Han Kingdom is almost stronger than that of all the tribes in the grassland combined, and this king is still very clear about the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so this king also agrees to form a secret alliance with other strong clans in the grassland to guard against the Han Kingdom. ”

The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie then smiled and said: "Since the King of Zuo Xian and the King of Right Xian are not opposed to this matter, then the Great Khan will reply to the Huns, and our Khitan is willing to advance and retreat with the Huns!" ”

For this secret alliance led by the Xiongnu, in addition to the Khitan, the Xirong, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma tribes also agreed to join, after all, the threat of the Han State always hangs over the heads of these steppe powerhouses.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the Lu State, Emperor Jiang Sheng asked Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, in a deep voice: "Are the soldiers of the twenty main army corps and thirty ordinary legions full?" ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it was already full of recruits a year ago, and now these twenty main army corps and thirty ordinary army corps are stepping up training, and they should be able to fight quite effectively within half a year." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is it possible to expand a few more legions?" ”

As soon as Liu Mian, the chief lieutenant of the military department, heard Emperor Jiang Sheng's words, he immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, maintaining these twenty main army corps and thirty ordinary army corps is almost the limit of our Dalu country, and we really can't expand the army anymore." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng sighed, "I also know that this reorganization plan is already the limit of our Dalu Kingdom, but the Han Kingdom has just annexed the Dawan Kingdom of the Western Regions and included the entire Western Regions in its pocket, and the strength of the Han Kingdom will definitely go to a higher level, and according to the information obtained by Black Butterfly, even if our Dalu Kingdom has twenty main legions and thirty ordinary legions, it is still a lot different from the Han Kingdom in terms of strength, you must know that our Dalu Kingdom and the Han Kingdom will have a battle sooner or later!" ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the great enemy of the Han State, our Dalu State only needs to guard against the Yan State and the Xiao State, and it is almost impossible for the Yan State and the Xiao State to take the initiative to provoke our Dalu State, but the Han State also needs to guard against the various nomads in the northern grasslands, the Eastern Barbarian tribes in the 100,000 Great Mountains and many powerful countries in the Western Continent, even if a war breaks out between the Han State and our Dalu State, it is impossible to transfer all the troops to fight against the army of our Dalu State. Therefore, the minister felt that it should be enough for our army of the Great Lu State to maintain the size of twenty main army corps and thirty ordinary army corps. ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Captain Liu's words are also very reasonable, and then your military department must urge all legions to step up training, so that each legion can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, since there are so many enemies around the Han Kingdom, why don't we in the Great Lu Kingdom implement the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack?" ”

"What does Taiwei Liu mean, does he want our Dalu country to take the initiative to unite the various nomadic peoples in the northern grasslands, the Eastern Barbarian tribes in the 100,000 mountains, and the many powerful countries in the western continent?"

"Your Majesty, that's what the minister means, although the Han State is now powerful, but if we join forces with the above-mentioned forces, the Han State will definitely not be an opponent, and even our Dalu State can also pull the Yan State and the Xiao State into the chariot."

Emperor Jiang Sheng touched his chin, then turned his head to Zhang Xiang, the commander of the Black Butterfly, and asked, "Zhang Xiang, what is your opinion on this matter?" ”

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Taiwei Liu's idea is very good, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, if we can unite with these enemies of the Han State, we can even carve up the Han Kingdom together in the future." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng immediately nodded and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you Black Butterfly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Next, Emperor Jiang Sheng asked Zhang Xiang, the commander of Black Butterfly, "How is the operation to assassinate Liu Ji progressing?" ”

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang said: "Your Majesty, in order to assassinate Liu Ji, the emperor of the Han State, in addition to sending the twelve butterflies of our Black Butterfly to the Han State, the minister also returned to Kunlun Mountain, and now Kunlun Mountain has sent a group of masters to the capital of the Han State, ready to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the Emperor Liu Ji of the Han State. ”

When Emperor Jiang Sheng heard that Kunlun Mountain had also sent someone to assassinate Liu Ji, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Zhang Xiang, how many masters has Kunlun Mountain sent this time?" ”

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this time Kunlun Mountain has sent a total of thirty people, and these thirty people all have the strength to be on the list of peerless fierce generals in the world's hero spectrum!" ”

"What? Thirty people all have the strength of peerless generals? When did Kunlun Mountain have so many peerless generals? Emperor Jiang Sheng asked with some shock.

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang immediately explained: "Your Majesty, Kunlun Mountain can have so many peerless generals, in fact, thanks to Your Majesty, you know that your subordinates have a set of internal strength exercises from Guanghan Palace, this set of internal strength exercises is very suitable for women's cultivation, so our Black Butterfly can train so many butterflies with good strength, a few years ago, Your Majesty asked your subordinates to win over Kunlun Mountain, so your subordinates dedicated this set of internal strength exercises to the master, I didn't expect this set of internal strength exercises in Guanghan Palace, and then a secret medicine from Kunlun Mountain, It is surprising that many female disciples of Kunlun Mountain have the strength of peerless fierce generals in just a few years, and of the thirty people sent by the division this time, twenty-seven of them are female disciples of Kunlun Mountain. ”

"There is such a thing, then hurry up and buy more secret medicine from Kunlun Mountain, so that it can be used on those butterflies!"

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the kind of secret medicine refined by Kunlun Mountain, the materials required are very precious and rare, and there are several herbs, only in Kunlun Mountain, these years Kunlun Mountain has poured everything out, and only cultivated less than forty female disciples with peerless fierce general strength, Kunlun Mountain has no extra secret medicine at all, and provides us with Black Butterfly." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng just wanted to say that he could let Kunlun Mountain provide the formula for the secret medicine, and then the black butterfly would find a way to refine it, but Emperor Jiang Sheng suddenly thought that Zhang Xiang was a personal disciple of Kunlun Mountain, so this idea just flashed in Emperor Jiang Sheng's mind, and he didn't say it.

"I hope that Kunlun Mountain can bring me a surprise this time, if the people of Kunlun Mountain can successfully get rid of Liu Ji, I will definitely reward Kunlun Mountain heavily!"

"The minister first replaces the master, thank Your Majesty, even if the twelve butterflies of our black butterfly do not succeed this time, the thirty peerless generals of Kunlun Mountain will definitely be able to take Liu Ji's life!"

In the palace of Rocca City, the capital of the Europa Empire on the Western Continent, Venodo, the emperor of the Europa Empire, said to his younger brother Prince Anasta in a deep voice: "The latest news has come from the Western Regions, the Han State that Liu Ji has just established has annexed the Dawan Kingdom of the Western Regions, so that the entire Western Regions are controlled by the Han Kingdom, and the pressure on the eastern border of our Europa Empire will be greater in the future." ”

Prince Anasta frowned and said: "That Liu Ji's broken army, that is, the army of the Han State, is very strong in combat, and our Europa Empire's most elite Blue Dragon Legion and Red Lion Legion have suffered a big loss in fighting against them, it seems that our Europa Empire must deploy more troops on the eastern border." ”

Emperor Venodo then asked, "Anasta, how are the various legions that were damaged in the Western Regions now?" Have all the vacancies been filled? ”

Prince Anasta nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the damaged legions have been replenished, and I believe that it will not take long for these legions to return to their peak combat effectiveness." ”

Emperor Vinodo touched his chin and said: "At present, in the entire eastern border, our Europa Empire has only deployed twenty-four legions, and I feel that it is far from enough to use these twenty-four legions to defend the Han Kingdom, I am ready to double the number of legions on the eastern border, and the Blue Dragon Legion and the Red Lion Legion are also deployed to the eastern border. ”

Prince Anasta then said: "Your Majesty, anyway, it is almost impossible for other countries in the Western Continent to invade our Europa Empire, so it is better to send a few more legions to the eastern border, and the three legion commanders of the Blue Dragon Legion, the Red Lion Legion and the Black Wolf Legion all hope to expand their three legions to more than fifteen wings to deal with the huge Han Legion." ”

Emperor Vinodo shook his head and said: "The establishment of the Han army is different from our Europa Empire, according to the information obtained by our Europa Empire, the Han Kingdom currently has a total of fourteen legions, of which six legions have two million troops, and eight legions have one million troops, even if I agree to the Blue Dragon Legion, the Red Lion Legion and the Black Wolf Legion to be expanded to fifteen wings, it is impossible for their three legions to resist a single legion of the Han State alone." ”

Each wing of the Europa Empire has 25,000 men, the ordinary legions of the Europa Empire have five wings, and the three legions of the Blue Dragon, the Red Lion, and the Black Wolf have eight wings each.

Prince Anasta hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, with the foundation of the three major legions, adding some wings can still greatly enhance the military strength of our Europa Empire. ”

Emperor Vinodo nodded and said, "Anasta, since you think it's okay, then let the three legions add some wings!" How many wings do you think each of the three legions should be added? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that he can expand the three major legions to twenty wings."

"Okay, just do as you say! As for the number of legions to be deployed on the eastern border, let's first increase it to fifty-six! ”
