Chapter 245: Qingwei Gathering
Chu Tianya had a lot of things to think about and deal with, and he was extremely tired after returning from an expedition just now, so he had no intention of being obsessed with the nobles, so he planned to drive her away from the tent and rest early.
But when he went inside, he dispelled that thought.
Because the nobles and the Suzaku were nesting together, they concentrated on drawing the distribution map of the soldiers and horses on the border of the Jin Kingdom overnight.
"Xiaofei, go get some hot soup and meals." Chu Tianya commanded, "I want to have a drink with the two of them." β
"Yes." Xiao Fei would say more, but he couldn't help but glance at Suzaku and the nobles with disdain. is probably complaining about them, taking advantage of Xiao Linglong's absence, in the name of official business, to occupy the lord's bed.
Chu Tianya raised his leg and gave him a kick, "Don't go quickly!" β
"Yes, yes, go right away." Xiao Fei laughed twice and went out.
As soon as the nobles and Suzaku saw Chu Tianya come back, they all showed happy smiles on their faces.
"Lord, I'm so tired!" The noble man stretched his waist and hummed delicately, "Hug it!" β
This quirky little girl always forgets to "take advantage" by cleverly setting up a name. At this time, she raised her arms and smirked at Chu Tianya with a face, her eyes were full of undisguised oil-rubbing thoughts.
"Come less and concentrate on your work." Chu Tianya glared at her with a false look, sat down at the table and carefully looked at the half-finished patterns in their hands for a while, and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows and said, "It's strange, Wanyan Zongbi knows that you are fine, and he still allows you to get this information." What was going on in his mind? β
"He doesn't care at all." Suzaku said lightly, "Or, he doesn't believe that the Southern Congress has the ability to counterattack north. β
"It should be." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "Zong Bi's arrogance really comes from the bone marrow. If his second brother Zongwang knew about this, he would definitely take down the two of you and destroy them, and he would never let you flee the northern country with this information. β
Suzaku's subordinates kept slowly drawing the map, their beautiful eyes and bright cheeks slightly red. Chu Tianya has really never seen a woman who can perfectly integrate charm and ability. If she was born in the 21st century, she would be the standard model of a high-end gold collar.
Qingwei had learned intelligence screening and summarization and mapping, and this course was taught by Suzaku, the great leader of the wolf's fangs. Now it is up to her to draw a map of the border distribution of soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom, and I believe that no one can do it for her more perfectly.
Chu Tianya quietly observed for a while, and found that the area in the clouds north of Taiyuan was full of military towns and checkpoints, and the area near the clouds was surrounded by countless granaries and horse farms built near the dangerous mountains and jungles. It is worthy of the location of the Western Imperial Court of the Jin Kingdom, and it is not a problem to raise 1.8 million soldiers and horses here. It is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the transportation is very convenient, as if it is a bridgehead of the entire Dajin Empire, which is not only a fist to defeat the enemy, but also a gateway to defend against the enemy.
"If you can break through the clouds, then defeating the Jin Kingdom is half the battle." Chu Tianya couldn't help but say while looking at the map.
Suzaku paused, laughed dumbly, and continued to draw.
Seeing her expression, Chu Tianya pretended to be annoyed and said, "You think I can't do it?" β
"At least not yet." Suzaku said unabashedly.
Chu Tianya pouted angrily, "You look down on me like this?" β
"The subordinates don't dare." Suzaku still said lightly, "It's just that the current Hedong Righteous Army really doesn't have the ability to compete head-on with the Jin State." An army of 100,000 people, mostly recruits. How many elite divisions of the Jin Kingdom has in the Western Imperial Court, and the lord will know after the subordinates are marked later. β
"Did you just say no?" Chu Tianya said.
"The subordinates are afraid of scaring the lord." Suzaku was laughing.
"Holy! I'm scared! β
The noble man smiled, "My lord, my lord, I sue you - 470,000!" β
Chu Tianya's eyes widened, and his expression froze a little.
"It's all said, it will scare the lord." Suzaku rarely laughed like this.
Chu Tianya's expression became a little grim, "Wanyan Zonghan has just returned from a new defeat, and most of the nearly 100,000 troops he brought with him have been scattered, and at most only a few tens of thousands are left to return to Chinaβwhere did you get these 470,000 troops?" β
"The lord still underestimates Jin Guo." Suzaku said, "Last year's battle could only be regarded as a tentative blow at best. At that time, Wanyan Zonghan did not bring out much family wealth, and the Jin State government and the opposition never thought that he would be defeated. In fact, since the elimination of the Liao State, the military strength of the Jin State has skyrocketed every day. So many remnants of the Liao State have become slaves of the Jurchens, and it is a problem to raise an army of millions. Not to mention anything else, just the hundreds of thousands of troops left by the Liao State can be collected in full one by one. Now, according to the conservative estimates of his subordinates, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom is no less than 800,000! β
"Conservative estimates, 800,000?" Chu Tianya's eyebrows tightened.
"Definitely more than 800,000." Suzaku said seriously, "There are 470,000 in the Western Imperial Court, all of whom are soldiers who dare to fight; If you have to put it together, Wanyan Zonghan dares to put together 600,000 horses overnight. The main army of the Eastern Imperial Court under the command of Wanyan Zongwang stationed troops in the field of Yanjing had a full 300,000. This is not counting the soldiers and horses left by the owner and the soldiers and horses scattered all over Hebei. When Suzaku and I fled south, the garrisons of Hejian and Zhongshan were retreating one after another. Zongwang planned to concentrate all his forces and launch a major attack on the southern kingdom. At that time, the soldiers and horses under his command will definitely be no less than Zong Han's 470,000! β
"Fuck, Jin Guo really plans to destroy the Great Song Dynasty in one blow, this is almost a million army!" Chu Tianya couldn't help but scold.
"Even if Zong Han and Zong Wang don't come out, the two of them will lead an army of 300,000 to the south, and there will definitely be no less." Suzaku said, "Zong Bi even took the initiative to tell me that his second brother would give him a team of 100,000 men to serve as a vanguard outpost, and he would be the first to sweep the three towns in Hebei. But Zong Bi refused. β
Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, "Why?" β
"Because Zong Bi thinks that killing chickens is ...... with a knife," Suzaku said, "he said that 10,000 men would be enough for the Song army to crush without a fight." An army of 100,000 swept the three towns, and such a thing could be done by selecting a commander in the golden camp at will, so why should he take the lead? β
"I know what he wants!" The noble man hurriedly said, "The Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and it is invincible!" β
"Fart!" Chu Tianya shouted angrily, "There are really more than 13,000 kidnappers and horses, how were they cleaned up?" β
The noble man was stunned by his scolding, and pouted with a sad face, "What are you murderous, this is not what I said, hum!" β
"Don't interject." Suzaku glared at the nobleman and continued, "The Jin Kingdom is determined to win this battle. β
"I can see it too." Chu Tianya said, "They have put away their arrogance and no longer care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, so they must be aiming at the overall situation." According to the Jurchen habit of competitiveness, I didn't react when I took it...... The more this is the case, the more it means that the Jurchens are really angry and ruthless! β
"My lord, my subordinates have a sentence other than their duty, I don't know whether to say it or not." Suzaku said, "I'm just a Qingwei, not a leader. β
"Say it!" Chu Tianya smiled, "Just think of it as a small talk between friends." β
Suzaku nodded, "I think the lord still has to plan ahead." Although the defense here in Hedong seems to be impregnable, if Wanyan Zonghan really led a large army...... The 300,000 elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are really not something that this camp and 100,000 rebels can withstand. β
"I know." Chu Tianya's eyebrows tightened and nodded, "Wanyan Zonghan has endured it for so long, but he has been accumulating strength all the time. By the time he made a move, it would have been a crushing blow. He doesn't want to fight with me anymore, his real goal is to conquer the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty! β¦β¦ Last year's defeat strengthened his resolve. If he goes south again, I am sure he will be well prepared. 300,000 troops, which is really a conservative estimate. β
The nobleman looked at them left and right, and said in a daze: "Didn't you say that there are not many soldiers, but refinement, but the use of the law?" The lord's soldiers are like gods, and he will definitely be able to defeat Yan Zonghan!
Chu Tianya was about to be angry with her, "God? Holy! ββIf you want to talk about the use of soldiers, I may not be Zong Han's opponent if I study for another ten years! β
"Didn't you outdo him once, then?" The noble man was not convinced.
Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, "The reason why we won last year was that we were lucky to win last year, firstly, because Wanyan Zonghan underestimated the enemy, secondly, we won with a strange army, and thirdly, the greater credit should actually be attributed to my mentor Wang Yu, and Guan Shan, Jiao Wentong and Bai Xu of Taihang Mountain. And Nishiyama Mengde, who has done more than me - I'm just picking up a big bargain! β
"I don't believe it!" The noble man gritted his teeth with a straight face, "Anyway, if I say you can win, you will definitely win!" The lord will definitely be able to defeat Yan Zonghan's bastard again, definitely, definitely! β
Chu Tianya and the nobleman both laughed, "You go out, help Xiao Fei Wenjiu!" β
"Go, go, huh!" The nobleman went out in a huff.
"Lord, don't blame her." After the nobleman went out, Suzaku said softly, "She is still like a child, and in her heart, the lord is an omnipotent god high above." β
"I know." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "How could I blame her?" β
Suzaku nodded with a smile, "I know that the lord's heart has long been occupied by Lord Xiao alone, and it is difficult to accommodate other women." But...... I am willing to ask the lord to try not to disappoint the nobles. β
Chu Tianya's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said a little curiously: "When did you care about her so much?" β
"Always caring." Suzaku smiled, "Originally, I brought her into the wolf's tooth. Although she is very stupid, stupid and bad-tempered, she really has no bad intentions, and she will do what she recognizes. This kind of silly courage is really touching and admirable! β
Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "I know." β
"The subordinate has lost his word." Suzaku clenched his fist and continued to point to the map, "It is indeed unrealistic for the lord to want to go north and take the initiative to attack the Jin Kingdom. At least here in Hedong, it is not an ideal place to attack. There are too many dangerous mountain passes, and the Jin State only needs to send hundreds of people to choke the dangerous roads, and they can stop the 100,000 troops of the lord. The flying fox is down, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive each other. However, if the Jin Kingdom wants to go south, it is accessible in all directions, and we can't guard against it, so we can only set up an ambush on the road that Xiaocang Mountain must pass. This is their natural geographical advantage, which cannot be compensated for by the use of troops and the method of using troops. β
Chu Tianya listened carefully and thought about it, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you still have the potential to be a military advisor." β
"The subordinates are just doing their own thing. The lord ordered me to investigate the garrison and border defense of the Jin Kingdom, and my subordinates only focused on these things. Suzaku said, "As for the deployment of troops and commanders, my subordinates don't know anything. β
Chu Tianya smiled and nodded.
Suzaku suddenly bounced up without warning, flying up like a ghost, and the crocodile soft whip on his waist also shot, hitting the top of the tent with a snap, hitting like a big hole!
Chu Tianya hurriedly pulled back, and the nobles, Xiao Fei, as well as Xuanwu and Gou Zhen, immediately reacted in an instant, surrounding Chu Tianya in the core and protecting them.
Suzaku landed suddenly, "He Fang Xiao is small, hide his head and show his tail!" β
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts!" An old, playful voice sounded from outside, and everyone let out a loud sigh and laughed in unison.
Uncle He walked in from outside with a cane, rubbing his face with a wry smile, "Little Red Bird, you don't hit people in the face, how can you treat the old man like this?" β
Chu Tianya walked over with a smile and took his hand, "The old man let me see, where is it?" β
Suzaku put away his whip and came forward to clasp his fists and worship, "The old man forgives the sin, and his subordinates think he is an assassin." β
He Bo let go of his hand, like a whip mark on his face, his expression was extremely tragic and sad, "Hey, hey, I'm an old man, an old man!" I just wanted to come and take a sneak peek at the young master, but I didn't expect to be discovered by this little red bird! β¦β¦ It's really a church apprentice who killed the master, it hurts, it hurts! β
"Nobleman, Xiaofei, why don't you take the old man to heal his injuries soon?" Chu Tianya smiled, "Old man, come on, why are you lying on the roof?" β
"This little injury is a fart, it doesn't need to be treated! ββJust drink a few bowls of wine! He Bo smiled, "I just want to try, can these two girls still be vigilant when they are intimate with their lord?" ββThe result is not bad! Okay, you two, you can serve the lord in the future! β
The room was full of people crying and laughing, Suzaku actually blushed, and the noble man laughed secretly, holding Uncle He's elbow and shaking it left and right, "Old man, this is what you said!" You said! If the county lord comes back and drives me away, I'll let you help!" β
"Are you ashamed?" Suzaku scolded with a smile and a smile, "Go out and cook wine!" β
"Just go, you will kill me too!" The nobleman stuck out his tongue and went out happily.
The rest of the Qingwei retreated.
Chu Tianya hurriedly asked Uncle He to sit down, "Old man, I just came back and was busy with big and small things. I should have gone to drink two glasses with you a long time ago, but I didn't have time to sit down until now. β
"No, the old man touched it himself?" Uncle He stared at Chu Tianya with a smile, his eyes were full of pity and relief, and he said softly, "Young Master, you really suffered this time on your trip to the north. It's good to come back safely, it's good. β
Chu Tianya's heart swelled with warmth. The old man's love for licking calves is beyond words, although there is no blood relationship between Chu Tianya and him, it is still a master-servant relationship. But Chu Tianya could clearly feel that Uncle He's love for him was no different from that of his father.
He Bo and Chu Tianya were sitting, and Suzaku stood aside very consciously, standing with his hands down without saying a word, like a real guard.
He Bo looked up at her and blinked, "What are you doing standing, showing off that you are taller than the old man?" - Come and sit down, don't keep your face strained! How can a big man drink without a woman? β
Chu Tianya and Suzaku were a little crying and laughing, and only Uncle He, who was disrespectful to the old man, could say this kind of thing; And when you listen to it, it's not offensive.
