When Liu Chen led the Han Army Naval Division to defeat the Goryeo Naval Division, Shandong Province was already in turmoil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the edict of the emperor Long Batian, a total of twelve forces formed a coalition army and gathered in Weifang County, which was adjacent to Qingdao County occupied by the Han army, and at this moment, Weifang County has gathered nearly 400,000 troops!
The suddenness of the enemy army also caught the Han army a little off guard, but fortunately, Guan Yu was not a mediocre man, with 220,000 people under his command, there were more than 120,000 people who could fight, Guan Yu was all at the border, and the other 100,000 soldiers were also stepping up training and ready to fight at any time.
At the same time, the army under the command of Meng Tian set off from Yantai County to Qingdao County, a total of 80,000 people, in addition, Meng Tian also prepared 60,000 soldiers in case of emergency, Meng Tian's soldiers are not as many as Guan Yu, but there are also 180,000 people, and 140,000 troops are drawn at once, which is also a lot of pressure on Meng Tian, but there is no way, he can't let Guan Yu face the enemy's 400,000 army alone.
Li Guang of Weihai County did not move, Weihai County has a total of 160,000 soldiers, except for the new soldiers, it is 100,000 people, this is the origin of the Han army, it is very important, most of the sailors have already gone out, so the troops of Weihai County must stay in case of emergency.
On this day, Wu Yong, Meng Tian, Li Guang and Xiao He all gathered in Weifang County to meet with Guan Yu, a total of five people sat in the meeting hall in Guan Yu's mansion, and the expressions on their faces were extremely solemn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin, I would like to announce a few good things to you!" Wu Yong was the first to speak, "The day before yesterday, there was news that the Great King's Naval Division defeated the Goryeo Naval Division at sea, and now, the Goryeo Naval Division can be said to have been completely annihilated, and our soldiers have occupied the four southern counties of Goryeo!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the rest of the people showed a touch of joy, they didn't expect that the speed of Liu Chen, the king of Han, would be so fast, and he could also destroy the Goryeo Sailor in one fell swoop, this is definitely a big victory.
"Before I finished speaking, at the same time as the news came, the king also issued an order, that is, to send 50,000 soldiers to Goryeo, after all, in the territory of Goryeo, the number of our army is not superior!" Wu Yong continued, "This is the first news, and the second news is to prevent the Jinliao coalition army from increasing troops to Goryeo, so on the Hebei battlefield, Yue Fei of Chengde County, Wu Jie, Wu Ling, Ding Fu of Qinhuangdao and Pang De of Zhangjiakou are the mainstays, and 30,000 troops are sent from each of the three counties, a total of 90,000 soldiers are preparing for the Northern Expedition!" ”
After a pause, Wu Yong glanced at everyone, and finally said: "This third news is that in Cangzhou County, the king also has a force, with more than 100,000 soldiers, and the leading general Zhao An is a strong man beyond the realm, in order to relieve the pressure on Weifang County, they decided to send troops south to attack the rear of the enemy, after all, the twelve road coalition forces we are facing, most of them are the forces of Shandong Province, with General Zhao An, we will be easier here!" ”
As soon as Wu spoke, the other four people all had a slight smile on their faces, because the current situation seemed to be critical, but for them, there were still many favorable factors.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the king also had power in Cangzhou, if Cangzhou sent troops to Shandong Province, the enemy we are facing at the moment will definitely draw troops back to defend, which is a good thing for us!" Xiao He said with a smile.
"The king is planning ahead, there is an amazing talent, we can follow the king, this is the opportunity given to me by God, so now that the king is not here, we have to help the king share his worries no matter what!" Meng Tian also said, "General Guan, if you need to, speak at any time, my 80,000 sons are already in Qingdao County, and there are still 60,000 soldiers in Yantai County ready to go, as long as General Guan says something, you can go to the front line immediately!" ”
"Thank you, General Meng!" When Guan Yu heard this, he said sincerely, "To be honest, although there are many soldiers under my command, nearly half of the recruits are facing enemies several times their own, and they are really a little bottomless, if there is General Meng's help, then I will rest assured." ”
"This is as it should be, General Li Guang's army can't move, after all, the army of Yantai County has come to Qingdao, and Yantai County will be empty, General Li Guang has to take care of Yantai County while defending Weihai County, but this doesn't matter, our two counties together also have more than 300,000 troops, enough to fight with the enemy!" Meng Tian said with a smile.
"General Meng, General Guan, you can rest assured that there is me in the rear, and nothing goes wrong!" Li Guang also laughed.
Seeing the three leading generals like this, Wu Yong and Xiao He glanced at each other, and there was news on their faces, only to hear Wu Yong say: "I'm afraid General Li's army still needs to be mobilized!" ”
"Why is that?" Li Guang asked puzzled.
Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Fang Cai, didn't you say it below?" The king wants us to send 50,000 troops to the battlefield of Goryeo, which means that 20,000 regular troops and 30,000 new soldiers will be mobilized from General Lee's command, so that it will not affect this side, and it will be convenient for the king to carry out the corresponding military deployment, and the 30,000 new soldiers will inevitably become a strong force in a short time. ”
Li Guang was stunned and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then according to Mr. Wu's words, the three counties of Weihai, Yantai and Qingdao have a total of more than 500,000 people, and with such strength, it is enough to face all difficulties." ”
"The generals are fighting on the battlefield, and you can only wave the flag and shout in the back, but please rest assured, the supplies will definitely arrive as soon as possible!" Xiao He said with a smile.
"Haha, with Lord Xiao's words, we are relieved!" Meng Tian laughed and said.
"By the way, General Guan, have you used the Shenwei cannon that the king transported?" Wu Yong asked Guan Yu and said.
Hearing this, Guan Yu had a look of excitement on his face, and said: "I haven't used it on the battlefield yet, but seriously, as soon as I shipped it, I just tried it, and the power, stains, and use on the battlefield will definitely make the enemy frightened, hehe!" ”
Meng Tian and Li Guang listened, and the two looked at each other, and they both found that there was a trace of envy in each other's eyes, and they also knew the power of the new firearms in the army, but now the number is limited, and they have not yet been equipped.
Wu Yong smiled slightly, and said: "The Shenwei cannon is the secret of our army, and the enemy must not be allowed to snatch it away, in addition, Old Man Li's foundry will rush to produce a batch of Shenwei cannons within a month, and after a month, I can promise to transfer another twenty Shenwei cannons to General Guan!" ”
"Haha, then thank you Mr. Wu!" Guan Yu was overjoyed, if there were these divine cannons in hand, then this battle would be easier.
"Hey, Mr. Wu, when will we be able to equip the Shenwei cannon here!" Meng Tian said with a sigh.
Although Li Guang didn't speak, his eyes were looking at Wu Yong tightly, and his eyes revealed a look of longing.
Seeing this, Wu Yong smiled helplessly and said: "Don't worry, you are indispensable, but it's not so fast, after all, this kind of technology, we have just developed it, and it is not too mature, but it won't be long before we will naturally equip you with this divine cannon!" ”
After getting Wu Yong's promise, Meng Tian and Li Guang also nodded with satisfaction, for Wu Yong, they believed it, because Liu Chen was not there, Wu Yong was almost the number two person in the Han army, and his status was not even comparable to Liu Chen's quasi-father-in-law Li Guang!
"Okay, let's talk about how we should fight this battle!" Wu Yong picked out the topic, and soon, there was a burst of discussion in this conference room!
