Chapter 137: Forming a New Army
At the beginning of September 1231, the Shu State began to gather troops one after another, and at the same time sent people to submit the war letter to the Chu State. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Shu Kingdom, in the Hongwu Continent, known as the title of the northwest lone wolf, wolf, beast, group of people. One of the highest food chain finishers of terrestrial creatures, it is the most orderly and disciplined group of social animals. Every soldier of Shu has some "wolf nature" more or less.
The so-called "wolf nature" is that where there is meat can be smelled from afar, once it smells meat, it will be desperate to move forward. So every time the army that fought against Shu was victorious, it was torn off a few taels of flesh and ended in a miserable victory.
More than 200 years ago, southern giants such as Liang still did not wipe out the country in several battles to encircle and suppress Shu, but were finally banned by him and Chu together with a small and large way.
The State of Shu, which has now been silent for nine years, has officially declared war on another country in the south, the State of Chu.
Shu is different from Qi, Shu is mountainous, especially in Xichuan Province, the reputation of the country of abundance is not nonsense. In the country, Shu has four ace troops, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has been guarding the Xishu that is still prosperous and prosperous to this day.
The Qinglong Army was stationed in Zunyi, fighting against the Chu army in Guiyang all the year round, and the White Tiger Army was stationed in Hankou, spying on the important land of Quyang to the north, and shocking the Chu naval army in Jingzhou to the south. The Vermilion Bird Army guarded Guangyuan, and fought with the Wei army there many times to the north, and the last Xuanwu Army, the army was guarded in Meishan near Chengdu, and once there was a war in Shu, the Xuanwu Army would immediately be dispatched to quell the war.
In addition to the four ace troops, the remaining forbidden army guards the imperial city, and there is also the wolf army, which is a newly built army in Shu, and the troops are all stationed in Tibet, although the strength is not as good as the four major troops, but it is still much stronger than the defenders in various places.
This time, Shu took Zunyi as the starting point, mobilized grain and grass before and after, and dispatched 400,000 troops to Guiyang County, of which 300,000 Qinglong troops were all dispatched, and 100,000 Xuanwu troops were assisted, and their arrogance was very strong. In terms of generals, Xiang Sihai, the commander of the Qinglong Army, was the marshal, with a cadre of elite soldiers and fierce generals of the Shu Kingdom.
In fact, part of the hatred between Chu and Shu stemmed from Xiao Yan's humiliating years in Chu when he was a teenager, which made him feel guilty.
In fact, even the State of Chu did not expect that after the war between the two countries stopped, the proton sent by the State of Shu would be transformed into the emperor of the State of Shu more than ten years later.
Xiao Yan has been dormant for nine years, while secretly cultivating his wings step by step in the past nine years, he has not been idle for his own cultivation of martial arts, if it weren't for Emperor Jing's death, there are still a series of things waiting for him to deal with in Chengdu, otherwise he would like to take command in person.
But having said that, choosing Chu to start a war, Xiao Yan has also been fully considered, first, the Wei State, the two countries of Qi are much stronger than the Chu State, and it is still a good idea to choose a soft persimmon to pinch and pinch it, and secondly, the Chu Emperor of Chu is now old, the eunuchs are in power, and there are many rebel forces in the entire Chu realm.
Shu came to intervene at this time, which is undoubtedly worse.
In September, it is the end of summer and autumn, and the breeze blowing in the air is already giving people a feeling of autumn high and refreshing.
Under the glazed tiles of the high wall of the Yan Palace, a group of gray and white pigeons stand on the tiles, overlooking the magnificent Chu Palace, and occasionally a few open their wings gradually fly into the endless blue sky, and gradually lose their traces.
In the hall of the Yan Palace, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes, taking advantage of the fact that the Yan Emperor had not yet arrived, chatting about the recent big and small things inside and outside the court, laughing and laughing between the words, and a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Since the abdication of the old Yan Emperor and the strong ascension of Liu Feituo, in just half a year, the entire Yan Kingdom has taken on a new look, as if it has been reborn and injected with new blood.
In the south, the Dangshan Army, which was formed by the king himself, smuggled into Qingzhou, went north to Hualu and Jinkou, and opened up Jinmen in one fell swoop, so that the capital Shuntian did not have to worry about the prying eyes of the Wei army in Jinmen.
This emerging army has made Yan Guo, known as the "weak Yan", a good strengthening, and there are rumors that he wants to form a second ace army side by side, named "Treading the Sea".
In the court, among these people, Wang An Yuexi, who was side by side, dealt with the colleagues around him with a smile, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes showed a subtle mockery.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the main hall, An Yuexi saw a sturdy black figure walking up to the hall from the corner of his eye, and when he saw this person's face, several ministers immediately surrounded him, and the old face was piled up with a disgusting flattering smile, and greeted him diligently.
The person who came was Liu Feihong, the king of Shenyang who had been in the limelight recently and chased Wang An Yuexi, when Liu Feituo killed his brother and forced his father, he had full authority to help him, and made great contributions, and then his grace was infinite, and he was deeply trusted by Liu Feituo.
The emperor even issued an edict: An Yuexi and Liu Feihong can bring weapons into the palace to meet them, which undoubtedly shows the world his favor for the two.
Liu Feihong, the sixth son of Lao Yanhuang, his mother was originally a palace maid serving the queen, and she was just a product of Lao Yanhuang's drunken impulse.
Due to his humble background, Liu Feihong has understood the warmth and coldness of the people in the palace since he was a child. As the son of a palace maid, he will naturally not be valued by Emperor Yan, and it is still a question whether he can even be crowned king.
In order to give himself a chance to become king, he asked Emperor Yan for his life at the age of sixteen and went to the border to defend against the Korean tribes.
After struggling at the border for five years, An Yuexi approached him and persuaded him to join the ranks of Liu Feituo, the third prince who was not treated well by Emperor Yan at that time.
Under the encouragement of the princely general Xiangning, Liu Feihong resolutely joined the camp of the three princes for the sake of a chance to be crowned king.
It turned out that everything he did was right, and now his fiefdom of Shenyang, a large city second only to the capital Shuntian, has unlimited grace among all the princes, and there is an endless stream of ministers who visit him every day, which shows his current power.
"The emperor has arrived!"
As the shouts of the emperor sounded, the officials and ministers who were still polite to each other immediately lost their voices and stood with their hands down, and the hall was suddenly silent, and there was no sound for half a word.
Liu Feituo slowly walked out from the back of the hall with a straight body, looked around the ministers below with a majestic face, and when he glanced at the slender figure of His Highness standing at the front of the left, his majestic gaze couldn't help but soften a little, and a relaxed smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
"It's good to have you in Yuexi!" Liu Feituo thought secretly in his heart.
After stretching out his hand and shaking it, he motioned for everyone to be even, and then he sat firmly on the dragon chair, his eyes swept to the people of His Highness.
"What is going on in the Zhongqing family today?" His voice was cold and deep, like a clear spring flowing and a stream of water.
An Yuexi bowed slightly, glancing at Liu Feituo, who is now the Son of Heaven in the palace, he was dressed in a black and yellow imperial robe, and the black flat crown on his head was swaying, and the white jade bead curtain hanging under the crown covered an elegant and handsome face.
The dragon with the clouds and fog on his chest opened his teeth and claws and looked down on everyone, his whole person vaguely exuded a kind of megatron looking at the world, and now he is a huge change in temperament compared to the three princes who just came back from the Wei State as a proton a few years ago, compared with before, he is more sharp and less childish.
He on the dragon chair is like the sun hanging in the sky, emitting a blazing light, which is beyond reach.
Exhaling softly, An Yuexi bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do." ”
"Oh, I don't know what Aiqing is playing." Liu Feituo said.
An Yuexi took a step forward, raised his eyes to look at the majestic man in the hall and said, "Now that the momentum of the Dangshan Army has been established, it is not a problem to stick to Jinmen, and now it is time for my Dayan to establish a second strong army." ”
Since the founding of the Northern Yan country two hundred and twenty-five years ago, before the establishment of the Dangshan Army, throughout its territory, in addition to the defenders in various places, six permanent garrisons have been set up in six important military zones, and it is these six permanent garrisons that have laid the name of the northern overlord for the Yan State two hundred years ago.
The six armies were named after their respective regions, and were set up in six important geographical locations: Taiyuan, Chengde, Shuntian, Shenyang, Yongchun, and Mohe. Except for the Taiyuan Army, which was completely wiped out in the Battle of Xingling with the Wei Army more than 50 years ago, the remaining five armies are still remnants today, supporting half of the sky of Northern Yan.
Each of these five permanent armies has at least 300,000 soldiers, and these soldiers are all the elite soldiers of the Northern Yan Army, but except for the Mohe Army in Mobei Province, which still retains a trace of the military soul of the Iron Army in the past, the remaining four armies have declined more than a little bit compared with the past.
