Chapter 232: The King of Chu
The distance between the military town and the royal capital is not far, as the royal capital of the Chu State, the royal family of Chu still understands the truth of the city gate, so the royal capital has always come, and it is also a strategic place to guard the gateway land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt and the three military towns are each other's horns, and the defense is unified, so the natural distance will not be too far.
The state of Chu is famous for its martial arts, and the royal family will not live in a comfortable place. Since the establishment of the Chu State, there has been such a hedonistic person as the current lord of the Chu State, who does things without regard for the future.
However, with the famous minister Wang Dong and the commander Xue Changhai under his care, the Chu State did not have the problem of how much national strength declined because of the strange lord, on the contrary, the Wenshan Association and military exercises were carried out continuously, absorbing the civil forces of Chu to join the army, and the military strength of Chu has increased a lot over the years.
The state of Chu is proud of its soldiers, even if it is a ranger, all the way from the military town to the royal capital, there are many people who take the initiative to come forward to donate money and food, and even some armed people even ask the rangers to recruit. These things are commonplace for the Chu army, that is, the egret feels a little novel.
On the side of the Xia State, the people there do not have such a style of inclination towards the army, although the patriotism is not weak, but the worship of the army is not as strong as that of the Chu State.
The more he walked into the hinterland of Chu, the more Bailu's heart sank, the military strength of Chu was not without reason, and the trend of public opinion for many years has made the army of Chu a belief in the hearts of the people.
However, the army is strong, but it is not without its drawbacks. The state of Chu supports one million soldiers, accounting for more than seven percent of the population, which is a terrifying astronomical amount consumed every day. If it weren't for the fact that the Chu State occupied the rich mine mountain range left by the barbarians, it might not have been able to support the operation of the Chu State to this day.
At present, although the state of Chu is also rich, the minerals will be consumed sooner or later, and it is not a sustainable way.
On the Xia side, it has the largest population in the world, even more than three times that of the Chu State, but the army does not have such a large proportion, the resources and commerce are more than several times more developed than the Chu State, and the country has huge potential.
The only thing that has a big gap is the difference between Xia and Chu in the progress of military science and technology research. The state of Chu occupies a favorable geographical position, there are ancient emperors, and even the relics of several emperors in modern times, the ancient scientific and technological output is very amazing, compared with the research progress of the Xia State in the military, the Chu State is at least more than ten years or even more than ten years of scientific and technological progress.
In terms of high-end force, there is a fault gap between the Xia State and the Chu State, but this cannot be made up in a few years. Wanting to defeat the Chu State and seize the territory with the current military strength and strength of the Xia State is nothing more than nonsense. Even if there is a sword king who can fight the enemy Xue Changhai, the gap between the main forces of the general army cannot be bridged.
At least for now, only the Fire Phoenix Army in the Xia Kingdom can be regarded as able to fight with the guards on the side of the Commander's Mansion, and the rest of the army is afraid that they will only be sent to death against the Shangguan Army.
The thought of this gives the egret a headache. Originally, I wanted to spend a year or two relying on the support of my two worlds and advanced combat concepts to dominate the world, but now it seems that this process is probably not so easy.
The mass-produced king-level research of that research institute is like a thorn in the heart of the egret, if this problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed, let alone the unification of the three kingdoms by the Xia Kingdom.
"Hey, this girl really deserves to be the Xue family, and she really looks like she wears armor. "The whistle came all the way, and its eyes were fixed on the little lieutenant beside the egret. This person was none other than Xue Lingyun, who was dressed as a man and wearing adjutant armor.
In order to facilitate the march, the egret made a little disguise for this girl, at least from a distance, no one could recognize this girl as a woman, and it reduced a lot of trouble to take her on the road.
"You don't provoke Miss Xue. "The egret also has a headache for this big mouth, and the whistle has been a scout for a few years, but this character is still very aggressive, and he doesn't have the alertness and stability of a scout at all, and he doesn't know how he hasn't been killed in the past few years. "Our most important task is not to participate in the parade, but to protect Miss Xue from harm. You have to figure out what to prioritize. There are military parades every year, but they are just a formality to make the people feel proud of the army. But escorting the children of the Xue family was just like this. It is a credit to the safe delivery, and if something happens, it will be a big Louzi. Our entire Ranger can't resist it. ”
"Got it, got it. The whistle nodded in fear, not because of the seriousness of the egret's statement, but because of the egret's nagging.
"General Wei, I thought you were a ruthless spy killer, but I didn't expect you to be more terrible than my brother-in-law, I don't know if it's right or wrong to come out with you. The whistle sighed, "I thought I could be a little freer when I came out, but I didn't expect that without my brother-in-law and you in charge, this is really unlucky." ”
"It is unfortunate to encounter an unjustified disaster for no reason, and to lose one's life. What kind of bad luck is it to be taken care of. With General Gu taking care of you, you should be glad to be right, otherwise you will always be so arrogant, and the grave grass will be a little higher. ”
"Joke! I'm also a well-known scout, okay!" the whistle retorted dissatisfiedly, "General Wei, you underestimate people, sooner or later I will let you see my ability!"
"Forget it. You're honest, I'm happier than anything else. The egret shook his head and sighed.
Because Xue Lingyun's news was not disseminated, there was nothing to do along the way. Those thieves or remnant barbarian forces in the territory of Chu State will not fight the idea of participating in the parade if they are crazy. These people who can participate in the parade are the elite of the elite of a unit, and their combat strength is amazing, and they are all experienced in a hundred battles. No one would be so reluctant to come to their death.
So until he came to the king's capital, nothing major happened.
The city guards in front of the royal capital were not embarrassed and let them go directly. The kings of Chu are very large, although the city wall is not as majestic as the Yulong Pass, but the geographical area is wide, especially the military camp, it is not difficult to station hundreds of thousands of people, it is simply more military than a military town. Because it was an invited unit, the arrangement was also perfect, and the Rangers who participated in the parade for the first time were directly stationed in the newly established barracks, and all the facilities were better than the Rangers headquarters, which was amazing.
Entering the royal capital, there are still a few days before the military parade. Guo Zijun simply waved his hand and let the cubs of the rangers rest on vacation. This is the practice of the Chu army, and letting the energetic soldiers go to the royal capital to feel the feeling and relax is also a disguised reward.
It's just that the egret has another task, but it is not so relaxed and happy.
"It's finally here. The egret exhaled, "In order to avoid long nights and dreams." Early tomorrow morning, we will visit Xue's mansion. Sending Xue Yatou to a safe place as soon as possible can be regarded as completing a mental matter. ”
"Have you done what you wanted? General Wei, Brother Wei. The whistle smiled obscenely, "This has been escorted for many days, Xue Yatou's eyes, tsk, don't you see it? I see, this ranger is not your last destination, hey, I don't believe that if you give such a great favor to the Xue family, Commander Xue will not reciprocate." ”
