Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Expedition

The matter of looking at the thatched cottage did not happen to Li Chenfeng, because it took less than half an hour for Wei Yu to agree to go out.

In the Warring States period, it seems that there is no pretense of being high, after all, isn't it just for the sake of goods and the emperor's family?

Although the situation of Wei at this stage is not very good, Wei Wushu is still very famous among the Seven Kingdoms, and it is much better to have a strong army in the world than to go to other countries with an uncertain future.

After Wei Yu agreed to go out of the mountain, Li Chenfeng directly resigned from his official position as national lieutenant and elected him to replace him.

No matter how you say it, the Wei Yi family still has a great reputation in the Wei State, after all, the three generations are the Wei State Captains, as long as Wei Yu is willing to be an official in the Wei State, the ancestor Yu Yin alone can make him a nobleman.

This is the best way to obtain an official position in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, family heirloom......

The reason for this situation is that only the children of the nobility can receive the corresponding education, and ordinary people can only be ordinary people, and the barrier between the two classes is very difficult to break.

However, although Li Chenfeng resigned from the official position of national lieutenant, he asked the king of Wei for the position of general.

During the Warring States period, the highest military governor of the country was the "sho", that is, the general. But this general is not really in charge of the entire country's army.

It's like Dianqing, and now he is also a general of Wei, but he is the general of Wei Wushu, in charge of 100,000 Wei Wushu of Wei, and there are 50,000 people who can really be mobilized in reality, after all, Daliang City and other border passes still need such a strong army to guard, so the name is under his control, but Dianqing does not dare to really transfer these people, unless Wei is on the verge of extinction.

But in addition to Wei Wushu, there are other ordinary foot soldiers, cavalry, chariots, etc., Wei now has a total of 400,000 troops in the country, distributed on the borders of the surrounding countries, mainly to guard against Qin and Chu.

But now the state of Chu is not having a good time, Wang Jian and his son led 200,000 elite Qin troops to continue to encroach on the territory of the state of Chu, and now the entire Nanyang County has been lost, Yingdu has been occupied, and the royal family of Chu can only flee to Chen ...... in disgrace

A few years ago, Chun Shenjun wanted to organize the six countries to attack Qin again, but in the end he failed, and was defeated by the Qin army, beheading 100,000, Chu was afraid of Qin's retaliation, and directly moved the royal family from Chen to Shouchun.

This is the only country where the royal family is being chased away by the Qin army...... Oh yes, and South Korea......

The official position of the general is actually not a standing official position in the Seven Kingdoms, and the highest military commander is only to the step of "general", and only in times of war will he be crowned a general to control the national army.

And the reason why Li Chenfeng dared to ask the King of Wei directly for the name of this general was because seeing that the battle of Qin was about to start, someone would definitely need to hold a tiger talisman to control the whole army, and now in the entire Wei court, no one is more suitable than Li Chenfeng in terms of identity, status, and even the power in his hands, so it is almost impossible for the King of Wei to refuse his request.

Therefore, if you want to take power, the choice of timing is very important!

Half a year has passed in a flash.

In the past half a year, the entire Daliang City has been very stable, and there are no miscellaneous things happening, and even the surrounding areas have also been sent out to fight bandits and robbers in a unit of 500 people because Mei Sanniang wants to test the strength of the new army, which directly makes Daliang almost reach the level of not closing the door at night within a radius of 20 miles, and the side has also earned Li Chenfeng, a new general, a lot of fame.

However, this kind of activity needs a lot of money to support!

That is, Li Chenfeng, who can get unlimited support from other worlds, otherwise without the support of the treasury, even if he is sold, he will not have the money to support such an army of 10,000 people to do such a freewheeling activity.

In this way, the time came to the second year of King Wei Zeng, which should be the year 240 BC if it is calculated in modern time.

In April, the sky was clear.

Outside the city of Daliang, on a temporary high platform, the King of Wei led more than a dozen civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, looking at the rows of Wei Wushu below as if wrapped in an iron can, and the long ges flickering with a cold light in the sun.

Although there were only 10,000 new troops, there were almost 50,000 people if you counted the people and craftsmen who were recruited.

At this time, looking at these mighty and majestic Great Wei warriors covering their faces, even King Wei couldn't help but feel excited.

"Gentlemen, go here, the Great Wei Hundred Years Guozuo, please!"

The voice fell, and the king of Wei led everyone to bow deeply to the army.

At this time, Li Chenfeng rode a white dragon horse, wearing a rare red gold armor and carrying a snow spirit sword around his waist, standing at the front of the team.

Behind him, a strong man with a height of eight feet was wearing iron armor, holding a three-zhang banner in both hands, and a black "Wei" character on the blood-red banner shook in the wind.

After the expedition ceremony, Li Chenfeng, as the main general, waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

With the send-off music, the army marched out, and the footsteps sounded like thunder, shaking all directions.

The people of Daliang who had already gathered outside Daliang City looked at their country's army, some couldn't help shouting goodbye, and some couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

In this era of war, as the people of the capital, they don't know how many such scenes they have seen, but they only see each other every year, but they have never seen a single person return......

For a hundred years of the Great Wei Huanghuang, who and how many good men have irrigated this fertile soil with blood!

……

……

Li Chenfeng's army of 10,000 people were all foot soldiers, and the entire army, except for the livestock that transported grain, did not have a total of ten war horses.

Wei belongs to the Central Plains country, the source of horses is scarce, especially after the loss of Hanoi and Hedong, Wei has almost eliminated the source of military horses, and now the entire Wei has more than 400,000 troops, and the cavalry has not exceeded 10,000, which shows how scarce military horses are for Wei.

Especially in this situation, even if you want to spend money to buy a horse, you can't buy it, and the horse that Li Chenfeng sat on is still a BMW that he spent 10,000 gold on and took the path of a farmer from Zhao Guo.

It is said that this horse is Bai Yi, one of the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou......

The so-called eight horses of King Mu of Zhou refer to the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou during his western tour, and the "Biography of Mu Tianzi" records: "The horses of the Son of Heaven, Chiji, Thief, Baiyi, Yulun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, and Green Ear." ”

Among them, the red horse is a fiery red horse, the thief is pure black, the white is pure white, the overturn is blue and purple, the mountain is gray-white, the canal yellow is goose yellow, the hua is black mane and black tail, and the green ear is blue-yellow.

Since then, most of the people of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have taken these eight types of horses as the most.

Li Chenfeng himself doesn't understand horses, but the current Bai Yi is similar to his own mount in the Fengyun World in his observations, and he thinks that the farmer should not fool himself.
