Chapter 87: The Great War is Imminent

"Proclamation of the Monarch!"

"Proclamation of the Monarch!"

The edict was ordered to be sent from the palace of the dragon king of Chaogepan to all the counties of the country.

In a corner of Chaoge City, several armor soldiers posted a notice, attracting countless people to stop and watch, and a soldier posted the notice and announced to the people: "The monarch's edict, widely announce the government and the opposition, Chu invade the border, gather troops to point the generals, the whole country fights, and the enemy is barbaric!" ”

"It's going to be war, it's going to be war again!"

"Great, there's another fight,"

"Barbarian offense? The tiger wolf Qiang Qin also planted a heel in the hands of our guards, but the Chu people defeated the Qin people miserably, and they dared to offend my David and seek death! ”

"Make meritorious contributions, add officials to knighthood, this is the moment! Report to the army, I will go into battle to kill the enemy! ”

……

As soon as the proclamation came out, the entire Chaoge City changed from the original song and dance to a mood full of the main battle, the people knew that the country was going to rejuvenate the king's division to go on the expedition, and they were all excited and carried away, almost no need for the government to force a conscription order, the people of the country were all rushing to report to the army, there were not many standing troops to defend the country, aside from the special cavalry corps, there was only a standing army of 30,000 people and an elite army of 10,000 fighters battalion, and the 40,000 troops were really "professional troops", never engaged in agriculture, and prepared for war without fighting.

Wei Zheng has worked hard for nearly 20 years, and the national strength of the country has soared wildly, although the treasury money and grain are piled up, but it is not rich enough to support a standing army of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, and the current population of the country is about 3 million.

During the Warring States Period, farming warfare was still the mainstream situation of warfare, that is, there was a war to gather troops, but there was no war to farm.

The emergence of the Quyuan plough allows the people to cultivate more than four times the land in the past, and the population of 3 million is equal to the tens of millions of people in other countries to achieve the same productivity, and the income has risen wildly, which means that more troops can be raised, but the expenditure of the country has also risen wildly, and the construction of military facilities such as gallop roads, straight roads, sleeper tracks, post stations, etc., especially the construction of cavalry troops, don't look at the defense of the country is now full of treasury, once the war starts, the consumption of national strength will be extremely amazing.

Wei Zheng has been in charge of the defense of the country for nearly 20 years, and the accumulated monarchy in the defense of the country can be described as vast, the concept of empire and the concept of the country has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the people, which can be described as the desire of the people, and the expectations of the people. If the country is broken, there will be nothing left of the land on which they depend, and the people of the country do not know that a household can get a hundred acres of land, and only the current lord can give it to them, and no other monarch will have it.

The family and the country are in trouble, and as soon as the king's edict comes out, the people of the country all respond, which is the current defense of the country.

More importantly, every ordinary person who defends the country knows that going into battle to kill the enemy and earn credit is the fastest way to be promoted, promotion means wealth, the law of defending the country is like casting the whole country into a battle array machine, everyone is born for war, in the eyes of the guards, it is no different from the Qin army, and the enemy army is not the enemy, but the land, title, and wealth.

All of a sudden, the defense of the country, which had been quiet for many years, was full of the trend of the main battle.

……

Qi country, Linzi.

"Wei Chu is evil, and a big war is inevitable, what is Xiangguo's opinion?" King Qi Xuan learned that the state of Chu had dispatched troops and sent heavy troops to Zhaoguan and Peng Li, and watched the heart of Jiangdong to defend the country, which was obvious.

"Dare to ask my king, a county in Jiangdong, my king wants to either?" Meng Weijun Tian Wen said.

"Koto...... The widow heard that a county in Jiangdong has been governed by Wu'an Jun Bai for more than ten years, not only has the miasma been eliminated, but also has the potential of the granary of the city, such a good place, Taoyi is just like this, of course the widow wants. King Qi Xuan unabashedly showed greed.

"The king of Chu did not hesitate to fight unrighteous wars and fight with the country, and he also took a fancy to the wealth of a county in Jiangdong today." Tian Wen said.

"In the world of great controversy, how can there be righteous war?" King Qi Xuan sneered.

"It's just that the king of Chu is in a hurry." Tian Wen smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the prime minister thinks that the Qi State should be quiet and not move, secretly transfer troops on Surabaya, hide troops in Yushan, and wait for Wei and Chu to fight and lose both, my king can sit and reap the profits and swallow Jiangdong, why not?" ”

"It's not just a few people who want to reap the benefits, and Qin Guo is afraid that he also has such thoughts." King Qi Xuan said.

"Don't be impatient, the Qi State can send troops under the guise of aiding the defense of the country, after all, the two countries of Qi and Wei have a marriage with each other, and besides, the Qi State and the Wei State have not torn their faces, so that the Qi Alliance to defend the country, and so on the alliance Zhao, the Qi State and the Three Jin Dynasty are in the same breath, and the Qin State is bound to be frightened." Tian Wen said with a smile.

King Qi Xuan was puzzled and puzzled: "Xiangguo, the widow is confused, in this way, won't it be a whole country?" ”

"I'm Wang Rongyu." Tian Wen said with a smile: "Of course, these words are meant to be said to the Qin State. Saying that, Tian Wen sneered: "Defending the country is evil, and it is impossible for the Qi State to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman alone, so as long as the Qin State is also brought in, things will be different." ”

"Aiqing means ......"

Tian Wen said leisurely: "The king can make a deal with the king of Qin in secret, and it will be divided by the Qin State of Qi, I will occupy the territory of Jiangdong and Huaisi for thousands of miles, and Qin will take the territory of Qianzhong and Wujun for thousands of miles." ”

"Yes, yes!" King Qi Xuan nodded again and again, as long as the Qin State did not object, and the Qin State also joined in the distribution of the spoils, then there would be no scruples.

……

At dawn, a fast horse was sent through the 100,000 mountains in the south, and the speed of the horses galloping in the southern region was obviously not as good as that in the north.

Jiangdong Wucheng, this is the most prosperous city in the land of Wu Yue, once the capital of Wu and Yue, after the three kingdoms combined to destroy the Yue country, the country was divided into five hundred miles of Jiangdong County, and this Wucheng became the capital of Jiangdong County.

Wu Anjun took the order of the king and sat in Jiangdong, and more than ten years have passed in a trance. Jiangdong County has undergone great changes in these years, the biggest change is that the land of Wuyue, which is regarded as barbarian by the Central Plains, has removed the wind of barbarianism, and hundreds of thousands of people from the Central Plains have migrated to Jiangdong, and these people who moved south from the Central Plains have brought the Central Plains culture, brought advanced farm tools and farming technology, and dredged the mountains and rivers for more than ten years with the farmer master of Jiangdong County Shou Xu Xing and Sun Shuyou and other peasant disciples, and worked diligently to gradually turn the wild barbaric land into fertile land.

The first county in Jiangdong has undergone great changes year after year, and the only thing that has not changed is Bai Qi's loyalty.

More than ten years have passed, and Yue Yin gave birth to a son named Bai Zhong, who is now nine years old.

"Monarch's Father......" Wucheng Wu'anjun's Mansion, Bai Qi, who was just dressed in military uniform, saw the nine-year-old Bai Zhong, a generation of god-killing Wu Anjun, seeing Yueyin's mother and son coming hand in hand, and the majestic mountain-like face was less full of tenderness and fatherly love.

"Zhong'er, come, hug your father!" Bai Qi, who was dressed up, suddenly stretched out his arms and smiled at Bai Zhong, who was running in small steps, picked him up and looked at Yue Yin: "Why are you here?" ”

"My mother said that my father was about to go on the expedition, and Zhong'er and my mother came to see off my father, wishing my father a victory and a great defeat of the enemy." Xiao Bai Zhong said first with a childish voice.

"Good! Good! Good! Well said! Bai Qi said happily when he heard it.

At this moment, a member of the armor entered the mansion with the dossier in his hand, and knelt down on one knee in front of Bai Qi: "Yuwu Anjun, report to the song secretly!" ”

Seeing this, Yue Yin quickly took Bai Zhong away, without saying much, a thousand words turned into the word "careful", only looking at the other party's gaze mixed with endless worries, after his wife and children left, Bai Qi regained his majesty again, took the file and opened the brocade silk paper, Bai Qi recognized it, it was Wei Zheng's note: [Chu with the army of the country with 250,000 troops menacing, intending to swallow Jiangdong, Wu Anjun remember to rely on the river to defend Jiangdong, and he will not fight to meet the enemy]

Bai Qi saw my secret report and immediately shouted: "Order, quickly convene the generals of all ministries to meet!" ”

An hour later, 70,000 foot soldiers gathered at the foot of Wucheng, and endless warships appeared on the surging Zhenze Lake.

The wind is blowing, and the thunder is silent. Thousands of warships lined up to shake Ze, 70,000 guards poured out of Wucheng, and Bai Qi commanded a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses from the two water and land divisions of Jiangdong.
