Chapter 88: Wei Yi
The soldiers of the State of Chu pointed directly at Jiangdong, and their intention to annex a county in Jiangdong was clearly revealed.
As Wei Zheng commented, King Huai of Chu's move is not wrong from the perspective of the interests of the Chu State, since the Chu State lost the six counties of Hanzhong after the fiasco of the war with the Qin State, there is no longer a mountain and river barrier to block the Qin army in the west, not to mention, it is also greatly damaged by the Warring States Force. It just so happens that a county in Jiangdong seems to have the potential to become the granary of the world, and the state of Chu is also close at hand, and it is simply within reach, and the mind of King Huai of Chu is that if the state of Chu can annex Jiangdong, it will not only solve a potential hidden danger in the east, but also offset the defeat of the war between the state of Chu and Qin because of the wealth of Jiangdong.
Chu knows that he can't give an explanation to the world but still insists on defending, that is, King Chu Huai has seen through, in this world of great contention, those who don't fight will eventually become the fish and meat of others, and Chu is now showing a dilemma, starting a war with the country, fighting and fighting, and not fighting.
After Bai Qi received Wei Zheng's secret letter, he immediately prepared the army, and used all his strength in Jiangdong to gather more than 100,000 troops, plus the formation of the naval division troops over the years, Jiangdong's combatable troops can reach 150,000, but Wei Zheng's order is very clear, defend Jiangdong to the death.
In this regard, Bai Qi also understood the meaning of the king's metaphor, although he could raise 150,000 troops, and it was not impossible to fight with the main force of Chu, but it was only a battle with the Chu State, but there were more than the princes of Chu in this world. Bai Qi knew that the army of Qi was stationed at the Guangling City ferry on the back of the river, and the land of Jiuyi was the land allocated by Qi after the destruction of Yue, and if Jiangdong fought with Chu State, it would be disastrous for Qi to suddenly attack, and Bai Qi also understood that Wei Zheng's move was also concerned about Qi State's offense.
External factors, internal hidden dangers also have to be guarded against, although Jiangdong's governance for more than ten years has been quite effective, but Bai Qi, who is in it, knows better than anyone else that the remnants of Wu Yue have not fully accepted the reality of the destruction of the country and the conquest of the country, in a short period of time there are still many Wu Yue remnants of the country, there are still hidden dangers inside, if at this critical moment, people with ulterior motives in it bewitch some of the remnants of Wu Yue, Jiangdong suddenly has a rebellion, and it is absolutely disastrous under internal and external troubles.
Bai Qi settled in Jiangdong for more than ten years, and now Jiangdong County has been built by him like a tietong, and a southern Great Wall has been built in the south of Jiangdong from Ailing in the west to Wuyuan in the east. This 600-mile-long South Great Wall began to supervise the construction of the Great Wall after leading the army into Jiangdong after fighting Bai, and it took 11 years to complete, and when the South Great Wall was built, it was said to prevent the remnants of Wu Yue, but in fact it was to guard against the Chu State.
Now a great war with the state of Chu seems to be close at hand, thousands of naval warships in Zhenze Lake are ready to go, the water division of the state of Chu in Pengli Lake is only a few hundred, more than ten years of operation, the white sailor army has surpassed the state of Chu in silence, and more than ten years of hiding finally ended at this moment.
The Jiangdong Naval Division is already three times the size of the Chu State in terms of scale, which is no wonder that the Chu State does not attach importance to the water division troops, but Bai Qi has never forgotten Wei Zheng's words back then, Wei Chu must have a battle, and the Chu Division cannot win without a water division.
On the contrary, the state of Chu has always not attached importance to the troops of the water division, which is also for a reason, the state of Chu has always been the hegemon of the south, and the real focus is basically on competing for hegemony with the Central Plains, and it is natural that the scale of the Jiangdong naval division is stronger than that of the Chu state.
At this moment, more than 200,000 troops of Chu State, Chen Bing Zhaoguan, and the water division troops were stationed in Pengli Lake, and Bai Qi also dealt with the menacing Chu army, on the one hand, he ordered 30,000 troops to defend the South Great Wall, and 50,000 troops built fortresses on the south bank of the river.
……
Speaking of the Central Plains Defense, the Weichu War is inevitable, the Central Plains Defense, after half a month of intense preparations, Wei Zheng quickly assembled 100,000 foot soldiers plus 50,000 iron cavalry, Gongsun Yan's death did not stop the war mood of the Patriotic Nation, and there is no country in the Warring States world that is not a belligerent country.
Bai Qi received a secret report from Wei Zheng to defend Jiangdong, obviously, whether the battle with Chu can resolve the crisis in Jiangdong depends on the Central Plains Patriotic Army.
A month later, Wei Zheng led a total of 150,000 infantry cavalry troops to the south and stationed in Yangwu City, a person entering this city could not help but remind him of the old past, when the rhino head launched the five countries to attack Qin's battle, the three Jin Dynasty was defeated, and the Qin army led the Qin army to chase and kill Han Zu in Xiuyu to kill 80,000 Han troops, and then chased all the way to Yangwu City, and then cut tens of thousands, at that time it was Bai Qi sitting in this city.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have successively entered Yangwu City to set up camp, at this moment, inside and outside the city are endless baggage strategizing, huge trebuchets, siege ladders, and more known as the king of cold weapons of the three-bow bed crossbow array.
"Wei Yi, the king will come to Yangwu City from time to time, you quickly take a team of armor soldiers to inspect the inside and outside of the city." Outside Yangwu City, a general who defended the country said to a young armor soldier, this person was Wei Yi in his mouth.
At this moment, a team of men and horses rushed to attack, attracting Wei Yi and a group of armor soldiers to raise their eyes, at a glance, this pair of people and horses are all generals of the country, and the leader is the lord of the country - Wei Zheng.
At this time, everyone saw that the monarch was wearing a military uniform and shawl, and the red cloak was flying in the wind, and Wei Zheng rode his horse to the head, and rushed into the city with Meng Ben and other patriotic generals.
Wei Yi saw the generals behind the monarch and felt very excited in his heart, and he was extremely looking forward to one day being among them. This thought didn't last long, just when he was ordered to be in charge of the guard, a single horse rushed over, pulling the reins and stopped quickly beside Wei Mi, "The king has an order, and the centurion Wei Mi will enter the city immediately." ”
The soldier who gave the order dropped such a sentence and pulled the reins and galloped away, Wei Yi's top boss was a thousand-year-old, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the king would summon a young and little-known centurion by name? Of course, this commander doesn't know who Wei Yi is, this is not a little-known figure.
At the same time, in the tent of the king of Yangwu City, Wei Zheng had already summoned a group of generals to prepare for a military meeting. However, there has been no military discussion at this moment, because Wei Zheng is waiting for someone, it is Wei Yi.
This person is the object of his attention, the so-called talented people in the Jiangshan Dynasty, Gongsun Yan is gone, Bai Qi is not around, Wei Zheng is in urgent need of a new general with handsome ability to replace, this time if there is really no reliable commander, Wei Zheng will not be able to recruit the army in person.
In Weiguo, there are two young people who have never escaped from his sight, one Wei Wei needless to say, he showed extraordinary talent when they first met, but at that time, Wei Wei was in the limelight in the Jinxian Trading Company in order to attract his attention, but Wei Zheng did not bird him, it was impossible for the young Wei Wei to be sharp, but he didn't know that Wei Zheng had never forgotten him.
Later, Wei Yi went to the military training age to worship Zhang Yi in the Guigu Gate to practice for several years, Zhang Yi died two years ago, one of the two disciples under the seat is Wei Yi, and the other is Zou Yan, the ancestor of the Yin and Yang family, after the master and apprentice went out of the mountain, Zou Yan chose to go to the Yan Kingdom to buy horse bones of the king of Yan Zhao, and Wei Yi came to the Wei country, reported to the Wei Guo army from a soldier to start as a soldier, in a year or two, Wei Wei has been promoted to the centurion.
