On July 13, Ying Chong finally embarked on the return journey back to Jizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops under the command of Mao Dun withdrew thousands of miles in three days. Then Ying Chong and the others set off in the early morning of the 13th and went all the way south.

Originally, with the intention of winning, he wanted to destroy the three small cities before leaving. However, one of the conditions for the Huns to cede Shuofang County was to transfer these three small cities completely.

This made Ying Chong feel a little regretful, not because he was taken advantage of by the Huns. Rather, he knew that Mao Dunshan Yu had sensed the weakness of their Huns.

The grassland tribe said that they had no fixed place to live, and they lived in pursuit of water and grass. But in this northern plateau, there are abundant water and grass, and there are only a dozen places suitable for winter.

As long as these important places are occupied, they can also lock the throat of the Huns. At some point, it can be even more fatal.

Therefore, that Shan Yu will attach great importance to these three cities.

When they went south, the whole army marched extremely fast, and in just one day, it was already 400 miles away. This is because of the topography, from high to low, nearly 3,000 zhang above sea level, when they come lighter than when they go; second, they are already familiar with the road in the grassland; and finally and most importantly, the armies of Jizhou have returned to their hearts like arrows. Neither the lowest soldiers nor the generals above are willing to stay in this grassland for a while.

Ying Chong still didn't dare to be careless, and when he was marching, the sentry horses were as far away as a hundred miles. At the moment of camping, they are also deep ditches and high walls.

Although the contract had been decided at this time, and Shuofang City had been delivered, the Huns had no reason to turn around. But everything is afraid of what happens, in case something happens, what should the Huns do if they are ready to regret it?

To Ying Chong's relief, he did promote many outstanding generals among his subordinates. None of these people took any carelessness lightly because of the previous peace talks. When carrying out his military orders, he is still meticulous.

On the night of the 13th, Ying Chong received an official commendation edict from the imperial court. Drafted by the Privy Council and signed by the Heavenly Sage Emperor, the edict praised Ying Xuanniang and Li Jing, as well as all the Jizhou army.

However, the focus is still Yingchong, who praised him for making a decision on the spot and Keping the Huns.

"Is it the king of Wu'an?"

Ying Chong chuckled, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this time, what was sent to him was a commendation edict from the imperial court, not a reward. Ying Chong naturally couldn't know that he was crowned the king of the county from this edict.

The real source was Xuanque, who had passed on the details of the matter to his ears two days ago.

It is said that the people of the political hall and the Ministry of Rites on that day argued for his title for half a day. Among them, there are the king of Anbei County, the king of Wuyang County, the king of Pingyu County and so on.

In the end, it was Zuo Shangshu who shot Pei Hongzhi and made a final decision, and drafted the title of the king of Wu'an.

And it was this king name that made Ying Chong feel flattered.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties have been called "Wu'an" for their ability to defeat the enemy.

For example, they are Great Qin, the god of war Wu Anjun Bai Qi, who has passed away 3,000 years ago, and Li Mu, the famous general of Zhao State, is also called Wu'an! and there is also the ancestor of the former Hezhong, Su Qin, who is worthy of the seal of the Six Kingdoms, is also Wu Anjun.

And now Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, has the same title as him, and is the king of Wu'an County.

Ying Chong didn't know what Pei Hongzhi's intention was in setting this king name for him, but he instinctively felt a malicious attack. Anyway, if it has something to do with that old thing, it's probably not good.

The second thing that surprised him was the arrangement of the Jizhou Army in the edict of commendation.

The content of the edict was indeed a great praise for their Jizhou army, but its essence was a prelude to the Privy Council's preparation to dismember the army under his command.

The peace agreement with the Xiongnu has been decided, and the Jizhou Rebellion has largely subsided, and it is impossible for the imperial court to continue to maintain such a large army in Jiwan.

Therefore, behind the edict, a rough arrangement was made for the whereabouts of the 600,000 troops.

Among them, Li Guangsheng was the town guard envoy of the left division of the Shenwu Right Army, and led 10,000 forbidden troops under his command to return to the capital; Li Jing served as the envoy of the Jiedu Army, leading the 64,000 troops of the Broken Army, plus 40,000 soldiers and unity soldiers of the three counties of Jimen and Mayi in Yunzhong, to reorganize the defense line in Yunzhong.

Then Ying Chong was responsible for rectifying the army of the two prefectures of Ji and Wan, and tried to select elites and generals from all the provisional divisions within half a month to fill the vacancy of the soldiers of the two prefectures. Five government divisions were selected from the Erzhou Prefecture Army and transferred to the command of General Zuo Tunwei to support the Ningzhou War.

The rest of the rebel army and provisional divisions were all disbanded after being paid a lot of money by the imperial court.

-- None of this came as a surprise to him, and at this time, no one inside or outside the government or the opposition was qualified to do this. Except for him Yingchong, no one was able to subdue the Jizhou army.

What really surprised him was that the edict also set a quota of up to four divisions for Wuyang County, which was stationed in Xie County.

Doesn't this have to add four more elites to his Anguo Mansion?

It should be known that although these united soldiers are supported by the imperial court, they should be sent by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. However, because of the nature of the militia, it is destined that the source of troops for these four divisions can only be selected from the local area of Wuyang County.

And An Guoying, who is the head of the Wuyang family, is naturally the controller of these four divisions.

Could this be the handiwork of the Heavenly Saint Emperor again? But how could Lu Zhengen, the privy envoy, agree?

And Your Majesty, what is the purpose of letting the military strength under the command of An Guoying increase again? At this time, the four northern states have been initially pacified, the vitality of the Xiongnu has been greatly damaged, and Shuofang City has been lost, so it will be difficult to cause trouble in the short term.

And the neighboring three states of Jiwanyuan, even if there is any disaster, with the current Wu'an Palace, the three divisions of the division are more than enough.

It must be known that with the prestige of An Guoying's clan now, he can easily gather an army of nearly 400,000 people in the land of Jiwan.

At least in Ying Chong's opinion, it was unnecessary to maintain these four divisions in Wuyang County, numbering 84,000 people.

Could it be that this is to prevent the Lu family? It is not right, or it can be said that it is 'more than that'!

At this time, the Guyuan Yuan clan was tossed by Zuo Xian Wang Laoshang. Most of the elite clan army was wiped out, 200,000 Lu clan members, more than 40,000 dead and wounded, and all of them were strong in the clan, and the younger generation lost more than half!

According to Ying Chong's estimate, it will be difficult for this clan to recover within 20 years. Not only in terms of military strength, it is not enough to compete with the current Wu'an Palace, but the power of the court will also be greatly reduced.

To guard against the Lu clan, you don't need military strength of this scale either.

Ying Chong immediately thought of Li Guang and Ying Shuangcheng, both of whom were transferred to the forbidden army and served as the envoy of the first division.

Originally, with his intentions, he planned to let these two simply serve as the local government army's upper county defense envoys, or the border army's town guard envoys.

But as a result, the Privy Council directly sent these two people to the forbidden army. And because of the large-scale expansion of the forbidden army, the soldiers under their respective commands reached 30,000 people!

From this point of view, the Heavenly Saint Emperor was afraid that he had not given up and let him take charge of the forbidden army. And because of this exploits, it is likely to be in place at one time. With the title of 'General of Jiazhenguo', he was in charge of two or three forbidden armies.

Then the unity of the four divisions of Wuyang is also likely to be related to this.

Ying Chong found the map and looked at it, and then went all the way south from Xie County, through Yangjiang, to Zhengqu, and then to Qingjiang and Xianyang.

-- From here in Xie County, it may not take ten days to take the fastest machine to go south to Xianyang City.

In other words, in the next few years, even if Your Majesty has more than 500,000 forbidden troops in hand, he will not be completely assured?

And to confirm this speculation, the key is this 'Zheng Canal', which stretches for more than 3,000 miles.

Ying Chong guessed that if the Heavenly Saint Emperor really had this intention, then one of his two brothers and sisters would definitely serve as the 'Anqu Military Festival Envoy'. Commanded the 64,000 Anqu army and 30,000 Zhengqu sailors.

In this way, the army of hundreds of thousands of Anguo Mansion will form a sharp sword, which will be above Xianyang City.

Ying Chong was both flattered by this trust and felt heavy pressure.

He could feel that as the threat of the Xiongnu was swept away and Wang Anshi returned to Xianyang, the Heavenly Saint Emperor seemed to have renewed his ambitions.

This is clearly determined to carry out the policy of checking the acres of land and the hidden households in the world within the borders. even did not hesitate to fight against the family in the civil war for this reason.

At this time, the nearly one million Qin troops under the control of the Wu'an Royal Mansion will be the most reliable pillar and support behind the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

In the event of an accident, he can gather a large army in Wuyang at any time, rely on Yangjiang Zhengqu to go south to Yongzhou, and reach Xianyang within ten days.

This time, if he fully supports and lives up to his trust, the Heavenly Saint Emperor may have a three- or four-point chance of winning to complete this policy. But if he is double-minded, or if he is defeated in the chaos, His Majesty's throne will definitely not be guaranteed.

He thought about it carefully, and there was no other possibility. I really couldn't find a reason for the Heavenly Saint Emperor to put the heavy troops in his hands.

This matter is also very difficult, although His Majesty's side has a large number of troops, just now An Guoying's military strength can be directly or indirectly mobilized, up to forty integrated divisions. But the enemy is also extremely powerful, after all, there are seventeen first-class and super-class world-class lords in the country, and the number of troops that can be used is as high as more than four million, and there is also a famous general on the list.

And this time, the other party will not have any underestimation.

Ying Chong also understood his situation in an instant, and he has now become the target of public criticism.

Only if he rushes to his death can he remove the threat of a million troops in the north and cut off one of the most important arms of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

Chilling all over, Ying Chong knew that many of his plans had to be made in advance. Within half a year, his Wu'an Palace, at least one pseudo-founder-level powerhouse needs to be in charge.

Otherwise, your life will be difficult to protect!

Your Majesty, he will indeed send strong people to protect the safety of his Yingchong, but where is the power in his hands that is easy to use? )
