Section 21 North into Guanzhong
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!
The more cautious and frightened I became, the more passive I became! Because Empress Dowager Meng's words ignited the anger in my heart, I decided to attack boldly and put down the scourge of war on the east and west sides one after another!
When people are rich and rich, they are always afraid of losing what they have gained! For me, I am especially afraid of losing the Empress Dowager Meng and Lu Zhaojun, especially the virtuous wife Zhaojun sister who is already pregnant with my child!
In the court, I paced back and forth in front of the ministers, worried about the unresolved war on the north and south sides, and slowly sighed to everyone: "My Han and Dayong are the same, and they are also so difficult and weak, this time I am like duckweed in the river pond, no matter how wind and rain blow, I will not be free!"
The ministers were all sad after hearing this, and Xiao Qing came out to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad, if my Han can escape this catastrophe this time, he will surely succeed for eternity!"
I smiled and asked rhetorically: "Prime Minister Zuo's meaning is to say that if my Han can defeat Beiting and win Guanzhong and the Central Plains?
Xiao Qing nodded slightly, and also sighed and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, it is indeed difficult, and I don't know when my big man will have to raise his eyebrows!"
Wang Zhe approached me at this time and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty, when will my Han be able to fight the Xiongnu, and what conditions do I need to have?"
I pondered and replied: "I originally thought that I would be able to fight a war in ten years in charge of the country, but now it seems that my Han national strength is still relatively weak, and it will take time to become strong!
After hearing this, the ministers were in an uproar, and felt that what I said was simply a fantasy, and with the current land of the Han Dynasty, this is simply impossible to achieve. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you want to have such a strong national strength, the average country naturally can't do it, and only the Huns in the long grassland can have such unique superior conditions, and it is basically impossible to achieve it in other places!
I also know that this is difficult, and I can find the strength of the Huns today, otherwise it will not be possible to fight with them for a long time! The Battle of Duyang in the past is a good example, the strength of one army is completely unable to determine the outcome of a large-scale battle, and no matter how hard I try, I will not be able to withstand the repeated pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops! Without enough troops and material supplies to cooperate with the support, I will die of exhaustion and starvation sooner or later!
In other words, this big man can't just rely on me, but also rely on everyone to maintain it together, I worked so hard to cultivate Xiao Qing, Zhang Han, Geng Yan, Zhou Boyu and Zhang Meng and others, the purpose is to train them into the pillars of the big Han, so that they can work together for the big Han loyalty, which is much stronger than me working hard alone!
Among the generals, I am also constantly looking for candidates, and there is no ambiguity in the number of people who are suitable for promotion, and the talent reserve is very important, and this world is not a world that I can control alone, and in the end I have to rely on everyone! Although the Han Dynasty has broken through the weak era when there was no cavalry before, the number of cavalry is still too small, and all the soldiers in the country are added together, including which newly recruited soldiers, the total number of cavalry is only about 200,000, which is far from enough compared to the Huns dispatching 500,000 cavalry in a one-time battle!
There is no one in today's Han Dynasty who is like me, who is both in charge of government and commanding the army, and who understands the building of the army and the army in war, so they will not understand the difficulties involved! In this respect, only Li Chengzu and Han Cheng are slightly better, and they can both command the army and understand the people's livelihood and social affairs! It's just that the two of them are also lacking in the affairs of the government, and they have to rely on me to explain many truths to them!
I am worried about the worries of the big man, sad about the sorrow of the big man, few people can understand my current mood, except for my beloved concubine Lu Zhaojun.
Standing in the center of the main hall and pacing back and forth for more than ten minutes, all the ministers looked at me quietly, and no one spoke!
Suddenly, a eunuch outside the palace reported that the envoy of the mourning prison had arrived, and this woke me up from contemplation!
I turned to the crowd and asked, "Envoy of Ailao, where is Ailao, where is the location, what is the country, what is the population, and what is the army?"
...... , I think I'm probably thinking about things and going crazy, asking so many questions in one go, and I don't seem calm at all, obviously no minister can answer this kind of question!
The surprise of the ministers was obviously not lower than mine, and everyone was talking and whispering, and there was a commotion in the court!
I turned back to the dragon chair and waved my hand to the door of the temple and shouted, "Xuan!"
Then there was a long cry of the eunuch announcing the envoy to the hall, and I turned my head to look at Lu Zhaojun who was sitting next to me, she was bowing her head and secretly touching her belly since ancient times, and she couldn't stop laughing stupidly.
............
Soon there was a strangely dressed guy at the entrance of the hall, who knew at a glance that he was an ethnic minority, with dark skin and short stature, and looked very much like a southerner!
The envoy's Qin Yu was not particularly good, he reluctantly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, we have sent me to greet Your Majesty, and we have sent some small gifts, hoping that Your Majesty will accept it!"
Then the messenger gestured to his entourage, and presented them with ivory ornaments, gold, amber jade, and agate!
Ivory is related to elephants, it seems that it is an ethnic minority in the southern part of the YN, and the location may be in the Xishuangbanna area! I, Nima, were not interested in these gifts at all, so I asked casually: "Your Excellency, what is the so-called matter of sending the Lord here this time?"
The mourning messenger held his head high and said: "I heard that the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty raised troops to rebel, and the imperial uncle sent troops to Yizhou, although the Han has sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, but now it has not been able to quell the rebels for a long time!
Yo, it seems that Ailao is very close to Yizhou, otherwise how can I send troops to Yizhou to help me quell the rebellion! Of course, there is absolutely no free lunch in the world, and they must be here to reap the benefits if they are willing to do this! I looked at the many ministers with joy on their faces, and sometimes I really feel that they are so naïve, and they can't see through such a simple thing! I asked casually: "How much is the country, how much is the population, and how many soldiers are there in the whole country, if you help me send troops to the Han Dynasty, how many soldiers will I be able to send to help the war?"
The envoy replied very arrogantly: "My Daguang Kingdom has 3,000 miles from east to west, 4,600 miles from north to south, nearly one million mouths, and more than 100,000 soldiers in the country, and I can still send 30,000 troops to help the Han put down the rebellion!"
...... This cowhide is a bit outrageous, 1,500 kilometers from east to west, 2,300 kilometers from north to south? You are a long and narrow country from southwest to southeast, you blow such a large population but only one million people, but there are 100,000 soldiers, almost everyone in Nia is a soldier?
I was very unhappy with this kind of dishonest fellow, so I replied very unpleasantly: "The land is so vast, so my big Han is a small country compared to your mourning?"
After hearing this, the mourning messenger was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted and apologized: "Don't dare, don't dare! I have a long and narrow land of King Daguang, which runs from northwest to southeast, so the span between east and west, north and south is large, and I dare not make a statement in front of the Great Han Kingdom!"
I asked coldly: "If you help me put down the rebellion, what do you want, but it doesn't matter!"
The messenger replied shyly: "In the past, the Dian people had a lot of disrespect for my mourning, and the mourning prison had nothing else to ask for, if I could help the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty could give Kunming County to the mourning prison, I would be very grateful!"
I swooped up and said angrily: "Bastard, you wait for the small state of Nanyi, how dare you claim the land of my Han country, my Han mercenaries are hundreds of thousands, why should you wait for 30,000 soldiers to help, please go back!"
The envoy was also very unhappy after hearing this, and replied unceremoniously: "Your Majesty of the Han Dynasty despises my Ailao so much, isn't Your Majesty afraid that my Ailao will join forces with the imperial uncle! The imperial uncle has sent an envoy to my Ailao country, and he has already promised me that if he helps him send troops, he will give Kunming County to my Ailao!"
...... , and in turn to blackmail the big man, Nima is here to take advantage of the fire to rob, knowing that my big man is attacked everywhere and it is difficult to protect himself!
How bad is Nima, how can you be coerced by a small state like you, I pointed at him and said coldly: "Destroy a small country such as a small country, only within a snap of a finger, why should I be afraid? Please go back, no matter how verbose it is, you will definitely be hit by your head!"
After hearing this, the envoy's face changed greatly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said goodbye and left!
The ministers were speechless about this, and they all shook their heads and sighed! Wang Zhe walked a few steps towards the gate of the hall, and after glancing at the departing envoy of the mourning prison, he turned around and said: "Such a small barbarian state has no knowledge, and the frog at the bottom of the well will kill itself, so Your Majesty does not need to be angry about it! After my Han has quelled the rebellion and temporarily rested the troops on the north side, he will send a large army to destroy his mourning prison!"
Wang Zhe has said so many things in front of me for so many years, and Nima's sentence makes me the most comfortable to hear!
Just as I was about to praise Wang Zhe for a few words, a shout suddenly came from the door: "Report! Eight hundred miles of emergency military report!"
...... , It's a big event, I hurriedly sat down and listened carefully to the latest news brought by the messengers!
The soldiers hurriedly rushed into the main hall, half-knelt on the ground and panted and said: "Your Majesty, the scouts have sent an emergency military situation of 800 miles from the grassland on the north side! The Xiongnu Beiting was relentless, causing strong dissatisfaction among many tribes, and the Donghu Xianbei people and the Wuhuan on the east side, Fuyu, and Su Shen conspired to raise troops to rebel and break away from Daxia, and then more than 40 Xiongnu tribes on the grassland also raised troops to rebel against Daxia! When the Nanting Dadan heard the news from Dorha, he quickly raised his troops to the north, and the Nanting army marched quickly, and now it has arrived near the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and will arrive at the Beiting Lao's nest in a few days! His Majesty Emperor Gao of Great Xia has led 300,000 troops to leave the Inner History and return to the grassland on the north side to quell the rebellion, and the war on the north side of Hanzhong has been quelled!"
After the soldier finished speaking, the ministers were all happy, and they all celebrated that the big man had finally escaped this catastrophe!
I didn't think so, a golden light suddenly lit up in my mind, and I immediately got up and said loudly: "The rise of my Han Dynasty is today, spread my will, immediately gather all the soldiers in the south of the city, I want to personally lead 150,000 troops north out of Hanzhong, and I will never return to the DPRK if I don't take Guanzhong!"
The ministers were all shocked when they heard this, and they looked at each other dumbfounded, making me a little puzzled by my sudden decision.
Xiao Qing frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you want to go north with the whole country's army, if the south is lost, what should we do?"
I sneered: "This is the best time for my Han to seize Guanzhong, Uncle Huang raised only 90,000 foot armor, Mengjia can suppress it, I also sent General Gan Wen to guard Bazhou, Anxi General Lu Jiande also stationed troops in Wuyang, will definitely ensure that the war in the south is foolproof!"
Xiao Qing's little heart was probably scared and almost jumped out, she didn't know much about military deployment, and she was a little relieved to hear me say this!
Then Uncle Baili Zhang Han came out and said: "Your Majesty is driving in person, and the ministers will immediately arrange for the transportation of grain trucks and horses, and ensure that Your Majesty's grain and grass are all in order!"
"Okay!", hearing Zhang Han say this, my heart was even more confident to go out!
In the panic of the ministers, I returned to the harem to say goodbye to Empress Meng and Lu Zhaojun, and then went directly to the south of the city to set off with troops!
Before leaving, I gave an order to Xiao Qing and Zhang Han, ordering them to immediately urgently collect 100,000 war horses from horse farms across the country, and send them to Nanyang non-stop, so that Nanyang Hou Li Chengzu immediately formed 100,000 Nanyang cavalry, and be sure to guard the land of Nanyang for the Han Dynasty!
Later, after explaining many matters, Fan Yong was left to continue to guard Yongzhou, and then I led the 150,000 new troops that had been trained to leave Yongzhou City!
After arriving in Hanzhong and Han Cheng's round, I immediately issued a battle order, dividing the army of the Han Dynasty into three routes, with Han Cheng and Zhao Tiande each leading 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry armor, and quickly leaving Hanzhong from the Bao Slope Road and the Old Road! Zhao Tiande's soldiers and horses marched all the way to Longxi County, Han Cheng's soldiers and horses swept across the western border of Inner History, and then waved his army north to continue to capture Yinmiqi County and Anding! 100,000 cavalry were in front, and 200,000 infantry followed.
In the end, I commanded 70,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry armor, and also went north from the meridian road to Hanzhong and entered the territory of Neishi.
