Chapter 170: Zhuge Liang's New Quest (Addendum 23/100)
At the end of July of the 17th year of the lord calendar, Donglai County, 100,000 troops gathered, ready to participate in the sixth national war.
800 boats, ships, fighting ships, building ships, and fortune ships gathered in Huangxian County, and the soldiers were strong and strong.
At the same time, elite legions such as the Iron Cavalry Army, the Beiwei Army, the Wei Wushu, the Beifu Army, and the Iron Eagle Scouts were assembled together.
In order to compete for two saint-level commanders and twenty king-level/emperor-level generals, Chu Tian had to send the main force and pour out of the nest.
The Iron Cavalry Army absorbed Gao Changgong's Baibao Xianbei, Gao Shun's trapped camp, Qin Qiong's Xuanjia Army, and Xu Chu's Tiger Guard, with strong troops.
Sun Ce commanded 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers to participate in the war, and as a future relative general, his status was equivalent to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also relied on the status of their relatives to ascend to the position, but they were different from the relatives who were vegetarian in the corpse position, and they made great achievements in battle.
Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce is not a mediocre person.
In this national war, among the 15 generals and strategists, there were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's lupine scarf, Sun Ce's fierce crown of the world. The two are outstanding and well-connected, and they are the representatives of Jiangzuo heroes, and they are full of spirit.
In the city of Huangxian County, Li Xiuning protected the children of Prince Chuwu and wandered around here.
While Zhuge Liang served as an official in Langya State, he was ordered to accompany the future prince to study, so he was also among everyone.
In a group of people, there is also Sun Shangxiang.
Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, and Sun Shangxiang all have a string of rock sugar gourds in their hands, while the younger sister Chu Qi can only look at her brothers and sisters pitifully because she is young, and her mouth is watering.
"Brother Chu Wu, sometimes we come to learn martial arts."
Sun Shangxiang was about the same age as Chu Wu and Chu Xuan, so they quickly became friends.
Chu Wu said: "I'm afraid of hurting you......"
Suddenly, Chu Wu saw Ma Yunlu following Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his party in Huang County, so he walked towards Ma Yunlu's side.
"My strength is higher than yours!"
Sun Shangxiang waved his small fist and demonstrated to Chu Wu, when he found that Chu Wu had already left.
In front, a girl in a green shirt, slim.
Beside the girl in green shirts, there are several famous Xiliang generals - Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and the fledgling Ma Dai.
Xiliang Ma's family is also rich in famous generals.
Chu Wu greeted the girl in the green shirt, and the latter also treated Chu Wu very well.
For some reason, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, pointed to the girl in the green shirt and said, "Who is that person?" ”
Chu Xuan said: "That's Sister Lu'er, Brother Chu Wu likes her." ”
"Hmph, I'll never play with Brother Chu Wu again in the future."
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but pout when he saw that Ma Yunlu was in his prime, and she attracted Chu Wu's attention more than she was younger.
Li Xiuning and Zhuge Liang, who were responsible for protecting the prince and princess on the side, couldn't help but feel ashamed, these little guys are really big people.
"Come and see His Royal Highness the Prince."
Ma Teng said to his sons and nephew Ma Dai.
He also couldn't imagine that his daughter often went to the Xia Wangfu when she was a child, and as a result, she had a close relationship with Chu Wu, and if this continued, his daughter Ma Yunlu might become the prince's concubine, and the Xiliang Ma family could also rely on Ma Yunlu to ascend to the throne.
Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai were already ready to appear at this time, and they saluted the noble Chu Wu one after another.
Ma Dai was a little excited, because he and Chu Wu were considered to be military generals of the same generation, and they might serve in the East Palace in the future.
Ma Chao is much calmer, he has made a lot of contributions, even if he doesn't have to tie up with the prince, he can have a foothold.
Because Ma Yunlu was a little older, he was no longer as reckless as before, and he also saluted Chu Wu.
She saw Sun Shangxiang staring at her in the crowd, so she asked suspiciously, "Who is this sister?" ”
Chu Wu replied, "She is the eldest lady of the Sun family. ”
"Jiangdong Sun's family?"
Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others were all surprised.
Because the Jiangdong Sun family took refuge in the crowd, Sun Jian was in charge of the 300,000 Jiangdong Army, so the Jiangdong Sun family not only did not decline, but became more prosperous, and is currently the first family in Jiangzuo.
"Sister Sun, what's your name?"
"Humph......"
Sun Shangxiang refused to tell Ma Yunlu's name.
Zhuge Liang was helpless and had a simple conversation with Ma Teng.
If you want to serve as the Minister of the Interior, it is natural to get closer to other civil servants and military generals.
The Xiliang Ma family, now a big family, made great contributions in the expedition and unification of the Han Empire.
"Originally, I recommended Ma Chao to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has already chosen someone."
When Ma Teng talked to Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
The commander of the Chutian forces is like a cloud, the fierce generals are like rain, and Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not qualified to go to the Sixth National War.
The main reason is that Chu Tian himself is equivalent to a saint-level cavalry commander, with an iron cavalry army, and there is a conflict with Ma Chao, so Chu Tian is better to bring Ma Chao than to bring other complementary generals.
Zhuge Liang probably understood Chu Tian's thoughts, so he comforted Ma Teng: "Your Majesty should have your own thoughts, General Ma Chao is brave and unparalleled, guarding Xiliang, it just so happens that the Western Regions has recently been in turmoil, once something happens, General Ma Chao can go to help." ”
"That's right."
Ma Teng listened to Zhuge Liang's analysis and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Chu Tian was counting the soldiers and horses on the expedition at this time.
Because the Sixth National War involved two Saint-level commanders, it was impossible for Chu Tian not to fight.
It just so happened that after the unification of the Han Empire, there were hundreds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, millions of soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, arsenals and granaries were empty, and Chutian had no idea of large-scale expedition in a short period of time.
The news of the fall of the Great Wan Kingdom, Chu Tian also heard it.
Since the Great Wan Kingdom has been lost, the wood has been completed, and Chutian is not shocked.
The Western Regions Protectorate captured the Dawan Kingdom twice, and lost it twice, in the final analysis, it was because the population of the Western Regions Protectorate was not large and the troops were not strong enough.
If troops are sent and the third time to fight for the Great Wan Kingdom, then it will cause a major war with Ogedei, and the whole of Central Asia will be in ruins.
Before preparing enough grain and grass for the expedition, Chu Tian had no intention of starting a war with Ogedai in advance.
Fang Xuanling counted all the soldiers, horses, grain, grass, and weapons, and said to Chutian: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, and the grain and grass on the ship can be used for a month's worth of an army of 100,000 people. After a month, if you don't get the food and grass, once the food and grass are exhausted, your majesty can return. ”
Chu Tian nodded.
Chutian was about to send troops, Xiao Xuan, Emperor Roufu, Huo Qing, Beimihu and others came to see them off, among which Huo Qing was finally pregnant with a child, and Xiao Xuan still had no signs. Xiao Xuan was even more anxious. Chu Tian is going to leave for half a year this time, which means that she has no chance.
Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, Chu Qi, Sun Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, Ma Teng and others came to the dock and came to see each other off.
"Father will be victorious."
Chu Wu already understood things a little, and under the guidance of Xun Yu, who paid attention to the rules, he behaved decently.
"Wu'er, during this time, you have followed your teachers, cultivated your self-cultivation, learned riding and archery and firearms, and you must not slack off."
Chu Tian had high hopes for his eldest son.
Chu Wu has the SSS-level trait "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat", which is a divine trait that can change his life against the sky and defeat the strong with the weak at a critical moment, so Chu Tian is looking forward to the eldest son growing up.
In addition to riding and shooting, Chu Tian wanted Chu Wu to know the power of firearms, so he also let Chu Wu learn firearms shooting.
Chu Tian noticed that Sun Shangxiang seemed to be unhappy again, so he asked Chu Wu, "Wu'er, have you bullied the eldest lady of the Sun family?" ”
Chu Wu looked innocent: "The child didn't." ”
What a strange thing......
Chu Tian looked at Zhuge Liang again: "Kong Ming, there is a reclusive Mr. Shuijing in Xiangyang, during this time, you go to Xiangyang to experience it." After the experience, he returned to Langya and served as a waiter in the East Palace. ”
Zhuge Liang was shocked: "Mr. Shuijing? ”
"People can't be good-looking, the sea can't fight, this person knows Qimen Dunjia, maybe it will help you. I've already said hello to him in advance. ”
"Yes."
Zhuge Liang received a new task from Chutian, that is, to go to Xiangyang for training.
Chu Tian could see Zhuge Liang's panel, a feature of Zhuge Liang, which needed to be learned from Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui before it could be opened.
So this is also the reason why Chutian asked Zhuge Liang to go through the training, the current Zhuge Liang is not yet complete.
Chu Tian has taken care of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun brothers since he was a child, as well as two daughters of the Zhuge family, and in Zhuge Liang's mind, Chu Tian is equivalent to half of his father-in-law.
Zhuge Liang's dependence on Chutian even exceeded his loyalty to Liu Bei in history.
Chu Tian said to Zhuge Liang that he had cultivated since he was a child, and he was directly in a high position in Langya Country, and he also specially greeted Mr. Shui Jing and asked Mr. Shui Jing to teach Zhuge Liang Qimen Dunjia.
This ensured that Zhuge Liang would fully assist Chu Wu in the future.
After Chu Tian arranged the task for Zhuge Liang, he prepared to lead an army of 100,000 to participate in the Sixth National War.
"Your Majesty, this is my nephew Ma Dai, who can serve Your Majesty."
Ma Teng took this opportunity to recommend the new general of the Ma family, Ma Dai, to Chutian.
Ma Dai, as a famous general of Shu in history, is famous for killing Wei Yan.
There are no generals in Shu, and Liao is a pioneer.
In the later period of the Shu Kingdom, the generals withered, Ma Dai was a good general, but Ma Dai's ability was not strong, the year after Zhuge Liang's death, Ma Dai led his troops to attack Wei, but was repelled by the Wei general Niu Jin and was beheaded more than 1,000 people.
Ma Teng recommended Ma Dai to Chu Tian, and Chu Tian naturally had no opinion.
Ma Dai is not suitable to be the main general, but he can be the deputy general.
[Name]: Ma Dai
[Commander]: 62 (78) [Force]: 79 (85) [Intelligence]: 50 (59) [Politics]: 30 (54)
[Charisma]: 74
[Trait 1]: Iron Cavalry Assault (A-level trait, when the Western Liang Cavalry launches an impact, attack +7%, impact +8%)
[Trait 2]: Xiliang Brave General (A-level trait, surprise enemy troops, personal attack +15%, enemy generals are easy to fear)
[Trait 3]: Drive Rate Qiang Hu (A-level trait, Qiang and Di people have an increased submission probability, easy to fear)
[Special Class]: Xiliang Iron Cavalry (Seventh-Order Heavy Cavalry, up to 1,000)
Ma Dai is a brave general, he can be a general, and he is not suitable for being a handsome talent.
It will take some time for Ma Dai to grow up.
"Ma Dai temporarily served in the Second Army of the Western Liang Army as a cavalry captain."
Chu Tian gave Ma Dai an official position at will.
Ma Teng recommended again: "There are two sons below......"
"Horse Tie and horse playing?"
Chu Tian took a look at the upper limit of the two people's abilities.
[Name]: Ma Tie
[Commander]: 55 (70) [Force]: 57 (62) [Intelligence]: 49 (56) [Politics]: 21 (47)
[Charm]: 59
The ability of horses to play is almost the same as that of Ma Tie, and compared with Ma Dai, it is one notch worse.
With Ma Teng's influence, Ma Tie and Ma Wan can barely serve as middle-level generals, but as for senior generals, they are incompetent.
Chutian also arranged official positions for Ma Tie and Ma Wan.
Because of the merits of the Xiliangma family, it is only a small matter.
After dealing with the affairs of Zhuge Liang and the Ma family, Chutian prepared to go on the expedition.
"Ding! The Sixth National War is about to begin, and in ten minutes, all participating lords and their legions will be teleported to the battlefield of the National War. ”
