Chapter 194: The Rise of Great Qin

"Liu County's order, but it's too late in the future!"

Outside the north gate of Fang County, looking at Liu Yun, who wanted to speak several times, Hu Luguang said with a smile on his face.

After confirming that Fang County and Murong Han were okay for the time being, Hu Luguang's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not surprised when he received the news that the Pakistani army was coming, but Murong Han's decisiveness and bravery really surprised him.

Therefore, while preparing for the war, Hu Luguang specially ordered someone to check Murong Han's bottom.

Murong Han, the character Yuan Yong, a native of Changli Thorn City, the Xianbei clan, the eldest son of Murong Diaoshu, the eldest brother of Emperor Murong Hao, the eldest brother of Emperor Wenming, and a former Yan general during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Murong Han is brave and good at shooting, resourceful, has long arms, is good at archery, has excellent physical strength, is resourceful, and is deeply valued and favored by his father Murong Diao, and is entrusted with the important task of killing the enemy and trapping the enemy. Murong Han fought all his life, and made great achievements for Murong Xianbei in the process of conquering Goguryeo and Yuwen Xianbei, and finally was jealous of Murong Hao and died of drinking poisonous wine.

The current Murong Han came to this world when Murong Hao had just succeeded to the throne and fled from Duanbu Xianbei, just in the prime of life, a real member of the brave and resourceful generals, Hu Luguang naturally did not want to see him from the same Xianbei background lost in the hands of the Pakistani people.

"The lower officials don't dare!"

Hearing this, Liu Yun hurriedly whispered.

In fact, Liu Yun did have doubts in his heart, Fang County was only a few hundred kilometers away from Chen Shi County, and it only took a day or two to arrive at the speed of the cavalry of the Northern Army, but Hu Luguang and they arrived after five days, and there was inevitably a gap in their hearts.

"Don't dare or don't say? This matter is related to military secrets, and the general has no obligation to explain to you, but in order to facilitate the cooperation of the follow-up war, the general can tell you that this is a secret order directly issued by the palace, and Liu County Order only needs to settle the people and logistics in the city, and after the war, the general should report the credit of Liu County's order truthfully! ”

Hu Luguang looked at Liu Yun calmly for a while, and said lightly.

"General Xie!"

Liu Yun hurriedly bowed and thanked him, Hu Luguang's words directly dispelled the worries in his heart, which was tantamount to a reassuring pill for him.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, a huge city covering an area of more than 60 square kilometers stands like a huge pearl on the bank of the Yangtze River.

The city is full of cars and horses, the flow of people is like shuttles, rows of shops are spread over the streets on both sides, the neatly planned military area, residential area, and wealthy area are distributed in the four corners of the city, and the center is the largest commercial area and the southern royal palace and various yamen.

Outside the city, three official roads of hundreds of meters wide at the east and west north gates extend outward, and the pedestrians, carriages and horses who come and go on the official roads weave an incomparably prosperous scene.

Wangcheng, also known as the royal capital, was the economic, political, and military center of the southern king's power.

This place was originally called Qilin City, but with Sima Yu's title of king, the people in the city gradually began to call themselves Wangcheng or Wangdu, and now this title has basically replaced the original name.

On the official road leading from the north gate, a plainly decorated carriage slowly moved under the escort of dozens of soldiers.

"In just two years, there can be such a prosperous scene!"

In the carriage, Zhuge Liang, who had passed the age of not being confused, was dressed in a long robe and held a feather fan, looking at the scene of people on both sides of the street through the car window, and sighed.

Everything he saw along the way had to make Zhuge Liang feel the stability and prosperity of the people's lives under the rule of the Southern Palace, especially after coming to Qilin City, this emotion reached its peak.

Although Liu Bei, the king of Shu, sat on the two states of Jian and Sui, with more than 600 people, but due to the perennial conquest, the people under his rule lived very poor and hard, and the development of the royal capital Suizhou City was far less than one-tenth of the Qilin City.

This also made Zhuge Liang's heart can't help but feel twelve points of curiosity about the fast-rising southern king Sima Yu, and he can't wait to meet this young overlord in person.

It's a pity that according to the news from their spies, it seems that Sima Yu, the king of the south, is leading troops to recruit Nanyi, and I am afraid that he will not have a chance to see him.

In the three years since entering the Great Dispute, the situation in the entire Shu Prefecture has changed abruptly, and the originally fierce offensive Prince Su Haoge's forces have plummeted after being attacked by the joint forces of Shu King Liu Bei, Later Qin Yao Chang, and Later Shu, and the original 100,000 Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry has also been sharply reduced to less than 30,000, which is no longer a cause for concern.

But just as the three sides were preparing to launch a decisive battle to divide up the forces of Prince Hauge in one fell swoop, a strong enemy from the north made them have to stop.

The State of Qin, a huge empire with a total of 13 prefectures and more than 30 million people, sat on the two prefectures of Yong and Liang, and ruled more than 30 million people.

In the first year of the Great Struggle, Yingzheng, who had just eliminated LΓΌ Buwei, brought most of his subjects to this world and occupied the three states of Yongfu. After two years of development, the Qin State successively defeated many forces such as Western Qin, Former Qin, Qianliang, Houliang, and Majia, and expelled and annexed many Qiang and Rong tribes.

In February of the third year of the Great Controversy, the Qin general Wang Jian led 400,000 Qin troops from Wuzhou to attack Shu in three ways, and within four months, they destroyed the former Shu Wang Jian, Liu Xiang, the ancient Shu State and other forces, and connected the land of 7 states, and the ferocity of the offensive shook the entire Shu land.

After the fall of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the three major forces of Shu King Liu Bei, Later Qin Yao Chang, and Later Shu Meng Zhixiang, who originally planned to carve up the Haoge forces first, had to face the Qin army.

Under the threat of the Qin army's troops, the three major forces had to stop their attacks on the forces of Prince Su Haoge, and instead gathered forces together to resist the Qin army.

In June of the third year of the Great War, the 600,000 army and the 300,000 Qin army gathered by the three major forces broke out in Jianzhou, and the tripartite coalition army with the numerical advantage was defeated again and again under the attack of the unstoppable Qin army.

In the fierce fighting for nearly a month, the tripartite coalition army lost more than 300,000 people, and the Qin army also suffered no less than 150,000 casualties

The three parties got a chance to breathe, but Liu Bei and the others did not dare to relax in the slightest.

According to the news from the spies, a large army is being assembled in the Qin State, and a steady stream of reinforcements is constantly coming from the Yong and Liang regions, and the next battle will inevitably be more intense.

The three major forces that received the news also immediately began large-scale conscription and actively prepared for war.

However, with the continuous expansion of the army, the lack of weapons and equipment in the country of the three major forces has become prominent, and a large number of newly recruited recruits lack weapons and armor.

In desperation, the three parties had to find a way to purchase from outside, and the Southern Wang Army, which had always been well-equipped, naturally became their best choice.

After tripartite consultation, Liu Bei sent Zuo Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to the southern palace to discuss the procurement of armaments.

Three years after entering the Great Controversy, Zhuge Liang almost completely faded out of the political arena of Shu, although he had the name of Prime Minister Zuo, but was almost completely abandoned by Liu Bei.

If it weren't for the critical situation this time, and there was really no better candidate, Liu Bei would not have sent him out, and after more than a month's journey, Zhuge Liang finally arrived.
