Chapter 638: The Coalition Forces of the Western Continent
On September 30, 433 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a meeting room of the Northern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Shangyuan City, Liu Ji asked Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and several other strategists: "This time, the imperial court summoned the Metropolitan Governor to bring troops into Beijing, and everyone thinks how many soldiers and horses should the Metropolitan Governor bring to Canglong City?" ”
Zhang Liang then said: "My lord, now that the twenty-four states of the Great Jin Dynasty are already controlled by our broken army, is the lord going to enter Canglong City when he enters Beijing this time?" ”
Zhang Liang's question made the eyes of several other strategists in the council hall suddenly reveal a hint of discoloration, as the saying goes, one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and everyone in the council hall can be said to be Liu Ji's henchmen, once Liu Ji ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, they will inevitably rise to the top.
Liu Ji did not live up to the expectations of several strategists, "The Governor of this capital can now be said to be a master of high merit, and the governor of this capital just wants to be a loyal minister all the time, and the court must not believe it, so this time I went to Canglong City, and the governor of this capital is not ready to leave again." ”
After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "What's more, now the thirteenth family has shown favor to the governor of the capital, and Heishuitai got the news from the capital, the queen mother and the son of heaven are ready to cede the throne to the governor of the capital, if the governor of the capital is hypocritical, wouldn't it be to live up to the hard work of the queen mother, the prince and the thirteenth family!" ”
Guo Jia immediately said: "The lord is wise! With the current strength of our Broken Army, the lord can't go any further, no emperor can tolerate a courtier with high merit, not to mention that the lord has to think about future generations! ”
Liu Ji's current number of wives and concubines has already broken through Liu Ji's goal of 3,000 harem beauties, and even broke through to more than 4,000 people, reaching 4,000 and 13 people, most of which are concubines, Liu Ji can't even remember their names, and these 4,0013 wives and concubines have given birth to hundreds of children for Liu Ji, if you add those children who have not yet been born, Liu Ji's children will exceed 1,000.
Even for the sake of these children, Liu Ji has no way to be a loyal minister, otherwise maybe when Liu Ji is alive, the Dajin royal family is helpless against Liu Ji and his family, but if Liu Ji is not there one day, who knows if his descendants can still suppress the royal family of Dajin.
Liu Ji sighed and said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan actually doesn't want to be an emperor, but with the current strength of our Broken Army, the Governor of the Metropolitan is already involuntarily. ”
In the end, Liu Ji and several strategists agreed that this time Liu Ji went to Canglong City, in addition to leading an escort team of more than 500 people, he would also dispatch five elite troops, namely the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Army, Qin Ruishi, the Beifu Soldiers and the Trap Camp, to rush to Canglong City together.
Although it is said that the thirteenth family that currently controls Canglong City already has the intention of taking refuge in Liu Ji, Liu Ji is not at ease with the thirteenth family, and in Canglong City, the thirteenth family also controls the sixteen guards of the forbidden army, according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, the total strength of the sixteen guards of the forbidden army exceeds one million, so Liu Ji has to bring some more troops to Canglong City.
Now there are about 120,000 people in each of the two heavy cavalry teams of the Tiger Ben Army and the Xuanjia Army, about 500,000 soldiers in the Beifu Army, about 400,000 people in the trapped camp, and about 350,000 people in the Qin Ruishi.
Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Meng, and Wang Dun, the six top ministers, will also rush to Canglong City with Liu Ji, and Liu Ji also dispatched a large number of generals of the Broken Army, such as Chong Shiheng, Zhang Xutuo, and Li Chengliang, and prepared to use these generals to receive the sixteen guards of the forbidden army.
On the evening of September 30, after Liu Ji tossed Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, in bed, he hugged Liu Qingmei and said: "I think you also know that the imperial court issued an order to summon me to Beijing a few days ago, and I am going to lead troops to Canglong City in the near future, maybe soon our whole family will have to move to Canglong City." ”
Liu Qingmei said in a coquettish voice: "It's good to move back to Canglong City, the winter in Canglong City is much warmer than the winter here in Shangyuan City." ”
Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "Now that the Thirteenth Family has the intention of taking refuge in me, the Wenchen generals in the Broken Army also hope that I can go further, so ......"
"Don't worry, Qingmei is not an unreasonable woman, just do what your husband wants to do!"
"Haha, with Qingmei's words, I feel at ease! No, I have to reward Qingmei for my husband! ”
Immediately, Liu Ji once again pressed Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, under him......
Just when Liu Ji was about to lead his troops to Canglong City, Jia Xu, the commander of Heishuitai, suddenly brought Liu Ji a shocking news.
The seven Western powers on the Western Continent, led by the Europa Empire, formed a Western coalition army under the tandem of Western Orthodox Christianity, and launched an invasion of the Western Regions in the name of exterminating the infidels, and in just two days, they defeated the fifteen legions arranged on the border by the State of Rest.
And these fifteen legions accounted for almost two-thirds of the total strength of the Resting Country, making the Resting Kingdom no longer able to resist the invasion of the Western Alliance, and the King of the Resting Country, Odunlunt, had to recruit a large number of young men from the Resting Country to make up for the losses of the Resting Country's army, and at the same time asked for help from several other countries in the Western Regions, and even the Western Regions Protectorate, which had been hostile to the Resting Country, sent a letter of help.
In a council hall in the Northern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Shangyuan City, Liu Ji frowned and asked Jia Xu, the commander of Heishuitai, "How is the situation in the Rest Country now?" ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Lord Qi, this time the seven Western countries led by the Europa Empire have formed an unusually large Western coalition army, according to the information we have obtained from Heishuitai, the total strength of this Western coalition army is at least more than 10 million, and the standing army of the entire Resting Country is less than 2.5 million, plus the Resting Nation army was caught off guard when the war just broke out, so that it lost about two-thirds of its troops in two days, and now the situation in the Resting Country is very bad, The Western coalition has captured almost one-third of the territory of the Resting Country, and is marching towards the capital of the Resting Country. ”
Liu Ji touched his chin and said: "It seems that the country of peace may even have to lose the capital, let's talk about it, do we need to send troops to reinforce the country of peace this time?" ”
At this time, in the conference hall, in addition to Liu Ji and Jia Xu, there were more than a dozen top ministers such as Zhang Liang and Guo Jia.
Zhang Liang immediately said: "My lord, this time the seven powers of the Western Continent launched an invasion of the country of rest under the tandem of the Western Orthodox Church, and this Western coalition army is still under the banner of exterminating the infidels, if according to the doctrine of the Western Orthodox Church, as long as people who do not believe in the Western Orthodox Christianity, they all belong to the infidels, maybe even if this Western coalition army captures the entire country of rest, it will not give up, our Western Regions Protectorate and the country of rest are also adjacent to it, it is not good that the Western coalition forces will conquer the entire country of rest, It will also hit the idea on our Western Regions Protectorate, and our Broken Army must be prepared against this Western Alliance. ”
Liu Ji frowned and asked, "Zhang Liang, what do you mean, you only need to be prepared, and you don't need to reinforce the Sabbath Country?" ”
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched slightly, "My lord, we are friends and enemies with the Resting Country, even if the Western Coalition Forces occupy the entire Resting Country, what does it have to do with our Broken Army?" If the country of peace is really destroyed by the Western coalition forces, maybe our army can still take advantage of it! ”
At this time, Guo Jia followed and said: "My lord, the Western Orthodox Church and the Holy Fire Sect have always been incompatible, this time the Western coalition invaded the country of rest, the Holy Fire Sect will definitely not sit idly by, maybe the Holy Fire Sect is encouraging the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom to participate in the war!" Once the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom also join this war with the Western coalition forces, then our Broken Army only needs to watch the tiger fight from across the mountains! ”
Liu Ji pondered for a while and said: "Passing on the order of the Metropolitan Governor, let the various legions of the Western Regions Protectorate complete a new round of reorganization as soon as possible, the Metropolitan Governor has a hunch that this time the Western Coalition Army invades the Rest Country, and it will be difficult for our Broken Army to stay out of the matter." ”
After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "The Governor of the Metropolitan will not go to Canglong City for the time being, and send someone to inform the imperial court of the invasion of the Western Coalition Army into the Rest Country, and after the matter of the Western Coalition Army has subsided, it will not be too late for the Governor of the Metropolitan to go to Canglong City again." ”
Zhang Liang nodded and said: "It's okay if the lord doesn't go to Canglong City for the time being, once the Western Alliance dares to invade the Western Regions Protectorate, the lord still needs to lead the troops to the Western Regions Protectorate." ”
In a study room in the palace of the capital city of the Sabbatical Kingdom, the king of the Sabbatical Kingdom, Odunlunt, asked the Prime Minister of the Sabbath Kingdom Yasar with an iron face: "Dawan Kingdom, Cheshi Kingdom and Broken Army, is there any news here?" ”
Yasar, the prime minister of the Resting Country, said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, there is no news from the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Country, and the Broken Capture Army, and it seems that they are not willing to send reinforcements to our Resting Country. ”
The king of the Sabbatical Kingdom, Odun Lunte, gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom and the Broken Army don't even understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth? Once our Sabbatarian country is completely defeated by the Western coalition forces, it will be their turn to be unlucky! ”
Prime Minister Yasal sighed and asked bitterly: "Your Majesty, now that the reinforcements of the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom and the Broken Capture Army are far away, and the Western Alliance Army is getting closer and closer to the City of Rest, what should we do next?" ”
With a gloomy face, he asked, "How many soldiers and horses have we gathered in the city of rest at present?" ”
Prime Minister Yasar sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the army is about 600,000, and there are about 1.3 million conscripted young men, but with less than two million men, it is basically impossible to hold the city of Sabbath!" ”
King Odunlunt gritted his teeth and said, "Recruit as many young men as possible in the provinces, and then gather to the city of rest, no matter what, you must also defend the city of rest!" ”
As the last of the four great powers in the Western Regions, the Rest Kingdom has twenty-four provinces with a total population of more than 30 million, but now eight provinces have been captured by the Western coalition forces, and these eight provinces have a population of about 10 million.
In addition to the 10 million population in the occupied area, there are only less than 20 million people left in the rest country, in fact, the king of the rest of the country Odunlunt knows in his heart that even if all the young and strong men in the 20 million people are recruited to the rest city, the rest city will be difficult to defend, but the rest city is the capital of the rest country, and the king of the rest of the country has to defend it.
Prime Minister Yasar nodded and said: "Your Majesty the King can rest assured, now that it is time for the life and death of our Resting Country, the minister will definitely try to mobilize more young men and women to the Resting City, but if we want to tide over the difficulties this time, we must have the help of external forces." ”
King Odun Lunt then said: "Let the people of the Holy Fire Sect urge the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom to send reinforcements as soon as possible, this time the Western coalition forces invaded our Sabbath Country, but the Sworn Enemy of the Holy Fire Sect was provoked by the Western Orthodox Church, if our Sabbath Country is defeated, the Holy Fire Sect will not have any good fruit to eat!" ”
In the palace of Dawan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom, Holy Fire Sect Pope Fico said to Yeman, the king of Dawan Kingdom, with an anxious face: "King Yeman, now that the country of rest is in danger, the Western coalition led by the Europa Empire has approached the capital of the country of rest, King Odunlunt of the country of rest, almost the remaining forces of the country of rest have gathered in the city of rest, once the city of peace falls, the country of peace will be over, and now only the reinforcements of the country of Dawan can help the country of peace to avoid a danger of annihilation!" ”
Ye Man, the king of Dawan Kingdom, sighed and said: "Pope Feike, it's not that this king doesn't want to rescue the country of rest, but our country of Dawan is already powerless, in the war with the army that has just ended, our country of Dawan not only lost the territory of ten provinces, as well as the population of more than 20 million people in these ten provinces, but also lost tens of millions of troops, and there is no strength to rescue the country of rest." ”
Holy Fire Sect Pope Fico immediately said: "King Yeman, this time the Western Coalition is menacing, it may be that a single Sabbath Country will not be able to satisfy their appetite, and the Western Alliance Army is likely to continue to invade the Dawan Kingdom after capturing the Sabbath Country, so it is better to ...... it now."
Before the Holy Fire Sect Pope Fico could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yeman, the king of the Great Wan Kingdom, "Lone has already ordered all the troops of the Great Wan Kingdom to enter a state of readiness, once the Western Alliance forces dare to invade our Great Wan Kingdom, our Great Wan Kingdom will definitely fight with the Western Alliance forces to the end!" ”
As soon as the Holy Fire Sect Pope Fico saw the attitude of the king of the Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, he knew that the Dawan Kingdom would never send troops to rescue the Sabbatarian Kingdom.
Previously, after several powerful clans in the grassland and the Qingyi tribe were defeated by the Broken Army, only the Dawan Kingdom was left alone to face the powerful Broken Army, so the king of the Great Wan Kingdom, Yeman, once again sent an invitation to the Cheshi Kingdom and the Rest Country, hoping that the three major powers of the Western Regions could form the Western Regions Alliance Army again and fight with the Broken Army.
However, the Cheshi Kingdom and the Anxi Kingdom successively rejected this proposal of the Dawan Kingdom, which eventually led to the Dawan Kingdom once again ceding land to the Broken Army for compensation.
Now that the country of rest has been invaded by the Western coalition, the king of Dawan is very willing to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
