Chapter 172: The Heroes Rise, and the Chaos Begins
Just when the cold snap came, Dongzhou fell into a short silence, extremely dull, and the major princes secretly accumulated their strength, intending to launch a thunderous blow in the coming year to expand their power.
Whether it was Sun Quan and Meng Bo in the north, Liu Bei and Liu Yu in the south, or the king of Eastern Qin in the west, they all died down and retreated into the background.
Qinzhou, Xuanwu City!
A group of ministers gathered together, Wen Youxu Shiji, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the newly voted Gao Shilian and Zhang Liang, these people are all able to make good decisions, the eldest grandson Wuji is good at internal affairs, Gao Shilian is a great talent, and Zhang Liang is good at agricultural politics.
And Xu Shiji is a good plan, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are even more awesome, Fang Mou Du is broken, it can be called a perfect match, the two work together, not simply one plus one equals two but far greater than two.
In addition to the original Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi, Su Lie, Shan Xiongxin, Hua Rong, there are new future investments, namely the fierce generals Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Li Dian and Xiong Kuohai, with the addition of these new forces, the power of the Eastern Qin Army has expanded again and again.
Just wait for the Northern Expedition in the coming year, make a blockbuster, sit on the position of the overlord of Dongzhou, and overlook the heroes.
At the same time, the states of Dongzhou are also famous ministers and military generals who serve the Ming Lord.
Yongzhou, after the Taiping thieves raged, there was no one out of ten, and the population in the state dropped sharply from the original 4 million to 120,000, of which the strong were even less, but fortunately, there were 300,000 strong people who returned to their homeland from all over Dongzhou, which changed the embarrassing situation in Yongzhou.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, the lord of Yongzhou, and Chai Rong swore as brothers of the opposite sex, jointly ruling Yongzhou, eyeing Dong Chengjun in the west, planning to wait for the opportunity to rush to the past, recover Cangzhou in one fell swoop, and sit on the land of two states.
Xiao Yan began to recruit famous ministers and righteous people from all over the world, relying on the Eastern Imperial City, the first male city in the past. Sure enough, there are quite a few characters who have traveled thousands of miles to join the service.
"Report, the king, there is a person from outside the mansion, who claims to be a friend of the king, and he has come to defect!"
At this time, Xiao Yan was checking the chapter, his brows were tightly locked, and he was quite depressed.
"Lonely King friend? You take him to the main hall, and I'll be there..."
Hearing that it was an old friend, Xiao Yan was a little puzzled, and at the same time a little depressed. Since he issued the order to recruit talents, there have been people who come to see him as old friends every day, and they all want to ascend to the sky in one step, but there are very few people who can satisfy him, which makes him helpless, but he has to meet him!
I heard that it was an old friend, and I couldn't think of any old friends for a while, but I still sent someone to bring them in to see me.
As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw two people. A person with a lupine scarf, with a white face and beard, and bright eyes, sat there fixedly. Taste the tea, without restraint.
The other was thin and small, wearing a loose scholar's robe, like a scholar. There was a glittering light in his eyes, and he was extremely confident, but there was a hint of sickness between his eyebrows.
These two are not their own hair small. Wang Jingluo and Chen Ziyun who have played since childhood? What kind of wind blew them here, and they only came to see him at this time after they parted ten years ago.
"Jingluo, Ziyun, is it really you? How did you guys get here? ”
When the guard saw it, he was stunned, and said from the bottom of his heart: "It's really an old friend, fortunately I didn't offend!" I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart.
"Brother Xiao, don't come to harm?"
At this time, the person who was drinking tea looked up, and when he saw Xiao Yan, he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Xiao is here, Ziyun is here to see Brother Xiao..."
"Hey, Ziyun, more than ten years have passed, why are you still so thin, haven't you been drained by a woman? Hahaha..."
In fact, Chen Ziyun and Xiao Yan were the most compatible when they were children, and later Xiao Yan went south, while Wang Meng and Chen Ziyun went to the Jixia School Palace in Dongzhou to learn the art of war and martial arts.
On the day of separation, they swore together that as long as Xiao Yan became a prince in the future, he would definitely come from thousands of miles to defect, probably because Xiao Yan only thought it was a joke for a while, and he didn't take it seriously, but he really didn't expect that ten years later, these two people really came.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao is still as humorous as he used to be, hahaha..."
Wang Meng shook the feather fan lightly, and also stroked his chest and laughed, but Chen Ziyun was quite embarrassed, wiping his nose and looking at these two guys, shaking his head and smiling bitterly for a while, extremely depressed.
After drinking and eating, the three of them had a long talk and began to shush the cold and ask for warmth, like old friends.
"Jing Luo, I came to Dongzhou this time, but I came to join me, don't worry, I will definitely give you an important position to take care of you, hahaha, of course, and Ziyun, seeing that you are so thin, I will give you an idle job..."
When Xiao Yan saw his old friend, he swept away the depressed color of the past, and was extremely happy, not to mention whether they had any ability, just because the old friend was thousands of miles away, and the friendship that came from the dust made him very moved.
"Uh, Brother Xiao, I'm here to be a general, if you don't give me a general, I'll leave immediately, hehe..."
When Chen Ziyun heard this, he stood up and waved his iron fist, with an extremely serious look on his face.
"Uh, Ziyun, are you serious? It's not a joke to go to the battlefield to fight, if you're not careful, you'll die on the spot, and you little arms and legs, don't tease me, okay? ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, he glanced at Wang Meng, and saw that his face was as usual, so he was not surprised, he was a little messy for a while, he really had never seen such a powerless guy go into battle to kill the enemy, what is this not looking for death?
But seeing Chen Ziyun's serious expression, Xiao Yan didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Wang Meng and ask him for help.
"Brother Xiao, don't look at Ziyun who is thin and weak, but who said that a commander must be powerful and strong, Ziyun Wentao is proficient in everything, it is really easy to be a commander, if you can trust Jing Luo, let him try, how about it?"
Wang Meng not only didn't help him speak, but helped Chen Ziyun speak, but the words are all here, wouldn't it be too much to say if he refused?
Xiao Yan had to grit his teeth and agree, but he really didn't plan to let Chen Ziyun go into battle, just give him a good time as a general, going into battle to kill the enemy is not a game of play, and such child's play is not tolerated.
"Okay, Ziyun, I'll give you an army after two **** and hand it over to you to be in charge, but you must make achievements, otherwise I will take back your military power, hehe..."
Xiao Yan left a line for himself when he spoke, once Chen Ziyun practiced badly. Just don't let him go into battle, anyway, he has the final say.
"Jing Luo, you have been in Middle-earth for more than ten years, you should know the situation over there, right? Tell me what the situation is like? ”
At this time, Xiao Yan suddenly looked at Wang Jingluo and began to ask about the situation in Zhongzhou.
"Middle-earth? Zhongzhou is an extremely chaotic place, and now the king of Great Qin, Yingzheng, is looking at Jiuzhou, swallowing all directions, and has killed Wanjun, the god of war in Zhongzhou, with his own strength. The Qilin Elite Cavalry under his command is included in his command, and the elite under his command is as high as hundreds of thousands, and there are four peerless commanders who are fighting in the east and west, and the south and north are in the north, and the nine princes of Dongzhou are united to resist its edge..."
When Wang Meng heard this, he began to narrate, and when he heard the situation in Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. I thought that Dongzhou was the most chaotic continent, but I didn't expect that compared to Zhongzhou, Dongzhou was much better, at least the war did not spread to such a wide range.
"Brother Xiao. Since the Taiping Uprising, Yongzhou's strength has plummeted, and I'm afraid it's now one of the weakest forces in Dongzhou, right? ”
Suddenly, Wang Meng's voice changed. talked about the situation in Yongzhou.
"Alas, it's not a secret, now Yongzhou has gone through the Taiping Uprising. The losses are heavy, the vitality is greatly damaged, the army under his command is less than 100,000, and there are many old and young, I am afraid that they will soon be wiped out by the other princes..."
Xiao Yan let out a long sigh, quite depressed and lonely, a trace of imperceptible unwillingness flashed from the corner of his eye, and then flashed away.
"Brother Xiao, in fact, it's not impossible to defend this territory, with Brother Xiao's current lineup, it's enough to be a dog guarding the territory..."
"How to hold it?" A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he looked at Wang Meng eagerly.
Wang Meng slowly stood up, shook the feather fan, took out a map from the placket of his clothes, and unfolded it.
"Brother Xiao, please see, Yongzhou as the capital of Dongzhou, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is inevitable that Fancheng is a natural danger, the east Luguan is difficult to cross for a while, the northern Lingguan is also the only passage fortress into Yongzhou, just send an army to hold here, you can sit back and relax, as for the west, the Mo River, people and ghosts are difficult to cross, just hold the Tongtian Bridge, and then you can worry about it..."
In fact, Wang Meng originally planned to talk about the Tongtian Bridge, but when he thought about the miracle of such a huge project, if it was destroyed, he would have to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and he would be scolded by future generations, so he temporarily changed his statement and said so.
"The scenery is far-sighted, but our side is short of major generals, I'm afraid your strategy is difficult to realize, how should this be good?"
Listening to Wang Meng's words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, he had thought of sticking to it before, but he had no actual strategy, at this time, when he heard Wang Meng's words, it was like the feeling of seeing a sunny day through the clouds and mist, and he suddenly became enlightened.
"Hehe, there's no need to worry, Brother Xiao's general Cao Jingzong can take on this important task, and Chai Rong's brother Chai Shao, this person also has the demeanor of a general, plus Ziyun, the three places can be strangled, and finally Li Yanshu can be sent to guard the southern border to protect himself..."
"Ziyun? Are you sure Ziyun can take on this responsibility? Isn't this child's play? ”
Hearing Wang Jingluo say Chen Ziyun again, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and asked with some surprise.
"Hehe, Wang dares to guarantee with Xiang Shang's head, Ziyun's commanding ability, strategy is that I am ashamed of myself, except for being a little weak, uh, thin, I completely have the posture of a famous general, it's a pity..."
Wang Meng knew that at this time, it was time to have a showdown with Xiao Yan, so he no longer hid it, and directly told Chen Ziyun's ability, so that Xiao Yan could rest assured.
"Since Jing Luo is so convinced, let Ziyun try, let him defend the northern border..."
Seeing Wang Meng so respected, Xiao Yan was also a little undecided, but when he thought that Wang Meng's strategy was so clever, and he admired Chen Ziyun very much, he finally had to grit his teeth and agree to Wang Meng's request and let Chen Ziyun serve as the commander of one party.
……
Suzhou, since the last time Guan Zhang was defeated and returned, Liu Yu has been sullen and very annoyed, it was originally a must-win game, but he didn't expect to kill Cheng Biting Jin halfway and rob him of the fruits of victory, which is really hateful.
Later, when he heard that Chen Shubao was killed by his subordinates, Liu Yu was happy that he didn't sleep for three days, and planned to send Guan Zhang again to take advantage of the chaos to go south to take Dingtao City.
But just in time, this shocking cold snap came at this time, and now his plan to go south had to be shelved, is there anything more depressing than this?
Some time ago, he sent troops south to Pingzhou, and the deeds of showing his might were spread, and many righteous people came to meet each other, among which he was not a true scholar, which made him depressed and happy...
At the same time, Liu Muzhi, a strategist under the command of the King of Qianzhou, coordinated to save Yang Zhi, the son of the King of Qianzhou, also went south to Liu Yu.
Liu Muzhi only single-handedly helped Qian Sun take Qianzhou in just three years, and Liu Yu had heard of it;
And the other person Yang Zhi under the siege of the Northern Underworld Army, rescued the son of King Qiansun, and left the Qianzhou Wangcheng safe and sound, he had also heard of it, and he was naturally very happy to see these two people come to vote, and promised to reuse the position for him.
On the other side, after the fall of Sizhou, Du Zhudu Wuku, the minister of Sizhou, went south and defected to Liu Bei.
In this way, he and Xu Shu and Fazheng joined forces to form a triumvirate, which were respectively in charge of military strategy, grain and grass logistics, and law politics.
For Liu Bei, this is simply like a tiger with wings and ambition, just waiting for the next year...
