It has been 15 years since the fifth national war, and the lord world is still full of disputes.

Emperors, kings, and dukes either fought against each other or gathered strength.

Alexander the Great of Macedonia captured the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Ögedai stepped up its encroachment on the Mughal Empire in India, Tuolei fought with the Persian and Arab civilizations, Catherine's Tsarist Empire clashed with the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Kingdom of Poland, the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of England tried to establish colonies in Africa, and the United States attacked the Mayan civilization......

The largest empire, the Han Empire, has entered a rare period of peace in the past year.

The Jixia School Palace in Xia Cheng set up a separate thatched hall for the prince Chu Wu.

Those who are qualified to teach the world are the top talents in various fields.

"The success or failure of the ancients, sincerity has its talents, although weak must be strong, not others, although strong and easy to weaken...... Ahem, His Royal Highness? ”

Xun Yu found that Chu Wu was a little distracted, so he reminded.

Wang Zuozhicai Xun Yu became one of the teachers of the prince Chu Wu at this time.

In the world, how many people are qualified to let Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Sun Bin, Sang Hongyang, Wu Qi and others serve as teachers at the same time?

"Sir, I was wrong......"

Chu Wu lowered his head, but his gaze was fixed on a small stone thrown from the window.

Xun Yu looked at the direction of the shadow and speculated that the time was almost up: "That's it for today." ”

After all, Chu Wu was only nine years old, and immediately ran out after Xun Yu announced his resignation.

Xun Yu shook his head.

But he wasn't worried.

If Chu Wu was just a good child, it would make Xun Yu even more worried.

In troubled times, it is useless to reason with others, you must speak with your fists.

From this point of view, perhaps an active eldest son is better.

Li Xiuning, who was in charge of protecting Chu Wu, regarded Chu Wu as his adopted son, and when he saw Chu Wu coming out, he immediately followed.

Chu Wu was the heir carefully cultivated by Chu Tian, and if he was assassinated, it would be a heavy blow to Chu Tian's forces.

The Chutian forces have gathered civil ministers and military generals from all dynasties and generations, and even various civilizations, and as the lord, they must be strong enough to suppress these people.

"Sister Lu'er!"

When Chu Wu saw the small pebbles thrown into the cottage, he knew that Ma Yunlu was nearby.

Sure enough, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in a green shirt leaned against a tree and beckoned to Chu Wu.

Li Xiuning saw that Ma Yunlu, who was Chu Wu's childhood sweetheart, also relaxed. Ma Yunlu usually studied in Jixia Academy, and at the same time practiced martial arts with Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan and others.

"Sister Xiuning."

Ma Yunlu knew that Li Xiuning was Xia Liang's trusted guard, and he was currently protecting the safety of the prince.

Li Xiuning said to Ma Yunlu: "Lu'er, it's better to go to the palace, the princess may want to see you." ”

In the teleportation array of Xia Cheng, Lu Fan, a disciple from Sun Jian's forces in Jiangdong, was ordered to secretly send an envoy to Xia Cheng.

He needed to determine one thing - whether King Xia was still willing to keep his promise to Sun Jian.

King Xia once sent Lu Su to negotiate peace with Sun Jian, and was willing to let the prince marry the daughter of the Sun family as the princess.

But even if the two sides make a promise in private, King Xia occupies a strong position and may not keep his promise.

In particular, when Sun Jian of Eastern Wu heard that the prince of Xia Wang and Ma Yunlu of the Xiliang Ma family were childhood sweethearts, he ordered the doorman Lu Fan to come to find out whether the rumors were true.

Lu Fan found that a carriage was under the protection of the Tiger Guards, returning to the Xia Wangfu from the direction of the Jixia School Palace, and a female military general got out of the carriage, and at the same time there was a teenager and a young girl who got out of the carriage.

"I actually used the Tiger Guard to protect it, thinking that the little boy must be the son of King Xia, and that person ...... is our eldest lady's competitor, the daughter of the Xiliang Ma family. ”

As one of the famous ministers of the Jiangdong forces, Lu Fan naturally has eyesight, and deduces his identity according to the age of the prince of Xia and the scale of his travels.

The eldest lady in Lu Fan's mouth is naturally Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Jian and Mrs. Wu have four sons and one daughter, and Sun Shangxiang is the only daughter born to the main room, so she is deeply loved by her father and several brothers.

"It doesn't seem necessary to continue probing. The eldest lady of the Ma family entered the Xia Wangfu, and the Xia Wangfu may have recognized the eldest lady of the Ma family. The marriage between King Xia and the Lord was mostly a delaying tactic. ”

Lu Fan thought that seeing was believing, so he went home and reported to Sun Jian.

Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian flipped over the coffee table in front of him and was very annoyed: "I believe in King Xia, so I am willing to marry the tiger girl to his son, but how can you deceive me!" ”

Sun Jian loves his daughter very much, and now there are signs of ruining the marriage on Chutian's side, so he is very angry.

"Father, since King Xia looks down on our Sun family and uses the matter of the marriage contract to contain us, we will attack Hefei City again and make King Xia regret it!"

Sun Ce was also very angry when he heard Lu Fan's return.

On the one hand, Sun Shangxiang is a group pet in the Sun family. On the other hand, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son have a feeling of being deceived.

Because of a marriage contract, Hefei City did not make a big move in two or three years.

However, now, based on what Lu Fan saw and heard in Xia City, the probability of King Xia repenting is very high.

Sun Jian and Sun Ce felt the need to use force to remind Chu Tian that Chu Tian had violated his agreement with them.

"If we can't become relatives of the emperor and the country, in the future, we will serve King Xia, and we will only have a few horses and dozens of slaves, and our Sun family in Wu County will definitely not have the current scenery."

Sun Jian originally put the hope of the Sun family on his daughter, but when he saw that there was little hope, he had to consider other ways out.

Sun Ce said: "King Wu has generals such as Xie Xuan and Zhou Yu, and his father helps him to guard the Yangtze River, which is enough to rule the river with King Xia. ”

Sun Jian sighed: "King Xia has been preparing soldiers and horses for the past year, and the same is true for King Wu. King Wu even asked me to set up six legions and recruit 300,000 troops. It's just that King Xia rode south, and he would hunt in Jiangdong, and no one could stop him. ”

Sun Ce's eyes were firm: "If King Xia really deliberately humiliates our Sun family, then the child is willing to fight to the death, and he is not willing to suffer this insult, let alone sacrifice Xiangxiang to beg for everything." ”

"Prepare for war."

Sun Jian also knew that with military power in hand, there would be room for negotiation in the future.

Now Chutian can break the contract at will, and the Sun family dares to be angry and dare not speak, the reason is that Chutian's power is huge, but the Sun family has no right to speak.

In the Yangtze River Basin, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, and Gan Ning's sailors crisscrossed the country, as if they were in a no-man's land.

The Wu army controlled the entire Yangtze River basin, and the Xia army did not have ships operating in the Yangtze River basin at all.

The white-clothed Lu Meng looked at the vast river: "Since King Xia pacified Liaodong and Xiqiang, there has been no movement for a year. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly: "Xia Jun didn't move, but it made people even more uneasy. The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. ”

"Although King Xia is accumulating strength, the lord is also desperately building ships and crossbow arrows this year, and he may not lose to King Xia. The Northern Army was good at cavalry, while the Southern Army was good at sailors. No matter how fierce the iron cavalry of the Xia King is, as long as he can't cross the Yangtze River, then it will be difficult to defeat us. With Gong Jin's fire attack ability, once the enemy's ships are approached by the fire ships, the losses will be unimaginable. ”

Lu Meng had seen Zhou Yu's terrifying abilities.

Every general, to a greater or lesser extent, has his own abilities.

Among the commanders of the Han Empire, Zheng He was a master of navigation, and Zhou Yu was the god of fire.

Lu Meng had seen the horror of Zhou Yu's fire attack.

When the Wu army was engaged with the Song army, Zhou Yu's fire attack completely buried the Song army's boat division, so the Wu army was able to defeat the Song army and force the Song army to surrender.

Lü Meng believed that as long as Zhou Yu guarded the Yangtze River, then the Xia army would not be able to cross the river.

Even if the Xia army had cavalry unparalleled in the world, it would not help in a water battle.

Moreover, after more than ten years of accumulation in the Jiangdong Army, Tongque has obtained a lot of generals.

Not only Zhou Yu, but also Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Xie Xuan, Liu Gaozhi, Sun Jian and others are also good at commanding sailors, and with Zhou Yu, it is comparable to the Great Wall built on the Yangtze River.

Jianye City, Tongque ordered Xie Xuan and others to train soldiers and horses, expand the army on a large scale, and absorb a large number of young people from Shanyue tribes.

For a year, a whole year, there was not a single movement in the northern army.

If you are not familiar with Chutian's style, you still think that Chutian is peace-loving.

However, the more Chu Tian did not move, the more restless Tong Que became, because Chu Tian was constantly accumulating military strength.

Once the army momentum has accumulated to a certain extent, then the offensive launched by Chu Tian will be quite ferocious.

"I have built a strong line of defense, and if you want to unify the Han Empire, you must pass me first."

The bronze finch inspects the soldiers and horses in training.

The generals recruited by Tongque who participated in national wars and activities many times actually rarely appeared in the sight of the northern princes, and only Yang Shilang, the king of the Song Dynasty, who was at war with Tongque, knew about the various generals of Tongque.

A young military general was also forced to go into battle and participate in the training of soldiers and horses.

Tongque has almost squeezed out the talent potential of the entire Jiangdong, and wiped out all the wild generals who wandered in Jiangdong.

Because Tongque knew that if he didn't do this, he would not be Chu Tian's opponent at all.

At this time, Lu Xun had just come out, and Tongque immediately asked Lu Xun, who was only sixteen years old, to serve as a lieutenant to train Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and to raise the level of various legions in Jiangdong as soon as possible.

"Lu Su is in Chu Zimou, the four major governors of Eastern Wu, I have the third, maybe I can stop Chu Zimou from drinking the Yangtze River."

The possibility of the Battle of Chibi made Tongque feel lucky, and maybe he could also play an epic victory like the Battle of Chibi.
