220. Marriage and war

In the year 7840 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, four years had passed since the Qin State broke through the Futian Pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After several years of recuperation, although the Great Zhou has not completely recovered its vitality, the various chaos caused by the Qin army's breakthrough of Fulong Pass has finally been contained.

After the army was reorganized, Zhou Tianzi in Guannei began to wait to meet the world.

Summoning the forces of Hojing Wangji and other immediate royal family members in the country, he gathered an army of one million and prepared to set off to the north to defeat the northwest rebels who had betrayed the Zhou Dynasty.

The Xingyue Army, the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenxi Army have united, and the relationship has gradually stabilized in recent years.

In order to ensure that he could be in the same breath and not fall off the chain at a critical moment, the king of Zhenxi married his daughter to Li Yueming, and at the same time, the marquis of Nanyue also married his eldest daughter Li Ruyue to the son of the king of Zhenxi.

Although, by all accounts, this is a typical political marriage.

It's a bit unbelievable to say, but the two parties can be regarded as free love.

Three years ago, after Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei led 100,000 Zhenxi troops to enter Beibing Town, both Wang Ziwei and Li Nanfeng were deeply shocked by the population of Beibing Town and the prosperity of the town.

A tidal town in the north near the 100,000 mountains, the original resident population could not exceed 10,000, but under the governance of Li Yueming and the Xingyue Army, it has become a super metropolis that stretches for nearly 100 miles along the Beibing River in just over ten or twenty years.

Not only has the registered population exceeded 500,000, but it has also established its own city.

It's an incredible thing to do anywhere.

If you want to build a prosperous town so quickly, Li Yueming's personal ability is not even the most important, it must be at the right time, in the right place.

Indispensable.

I have to say that it is an unbelievable miracle.

So, after Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei were stationed in Beibing Town, they immediately wrote a letter to the king of Zhenxi, in which they reported to the king of Zhenxi what they had seen in Beibing Town.

Although Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei have an inextricable relationship with Li Yueming.

Among them, Li Nanfeng is even Li Yueming's father.

But nominally, the two of them are still generals under the command of King Zhenxi, and they are also loyal to King Zhenxi.

Therefore, it is still necessary to write this letter back.

And this is an opportunity for Li Yueming to show his strength, whether it is public or private, Wang Ziwei and Li Nanfeng will not hide everything.

After receiving the letter from Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei, King Zhenxi was shocked.

If he hadn't known that Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei didn't need to deceive him on this kind of thing, he would really wonder if the two of them had teamed up to get him.

Surprised.

The king of Zhenxi thought for a long time, and finally sent his son out, in addition to observing whether Beibing Town was really as magical as the two said in the letter, the most important thing was to stabilize the Zhenxi army sent out in Beibing Town.

After receiving the order, Su Ye, the son of Su Fulong, the king of Zhenxi, went to Beibing Town with an elite entourage.

Because of the close relationship between the Northwest Coalition Forces, Suye, the main transportation arteries of the two places in the Northwest can be unimpeded.

It only took less than half a month for Su Ye to come to Beibing Town.

Li Yueming received him ceremoniously and led him to visit Beibing Town again.

After seeing Beibing Town, Su Ye was even more excited than Wang Ziwei and Li Nanfeng, his eyes were shining, and he immediately asked Li Yueming to let him learn the way of enriching the country and strengthening the army in Beibing Town, so that he could go back to revitalize the land of the West and the town of Xiguan.

In this regard, Li Yueming is naturally unavoidable.

Just as Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei judged, the development of Beibing Town was tailor-made by Li Yueming for the Xingyue Army and Beibing Town, and the time, place and people were indispensable.

Even if Su Ye could learn a lot of things in Beibing Town, he couldn't copy these things to the Western Lands.

After thinking about it, Li Yueming decided to send Su Ye to Li Ruyue.

After all, Li Yueming now manages at least half of the land in Beibing Town, and if she wants to understand the development of Beibing Town most intuitively, it is naturally the fastest and most convenient way to follow her.

However, what many people didn't expect was that Li Ruyue and Su Ye secretly fell in love in the process of cooperation.

Considering the special form of the two places in the northwest, Li Nanfeng quickly decided to marry Li Ruyue to Su Ye.

After all, Li Ruyue is approaching thirty years old this year.

Even if you are a cultivator, you have more freedom of choice, and at this age, you should get married.

Li Yueming didn't care.

As long as Li Ruyue is willing, Li Yueming will not deliberately stop who she marries, anyway, as long as Li Yueming is still in this world for a day, no one dares to disrespect his sister.

……

King Zhenxi felt that he had made a lot of money, so he sent his favorite second daughter Su Meng to Beibing Town, and specially named her to let her follow Li Yueming to broaden her horizons.

This is just a reason, the actual idea, everyone knows very well.

If Li Yueming and Su Meng can look at each other, then the King of Zhenxi and the Marquis of Nanyue will definitely settle this marriage soon.

In this regard, Li Yueming considered it very carefully.

After all, in this kind of fantasy side world, political marriage is not as simple as it seems, and there is a complete logical system behind it, so the choice of partner is very important.

It's just that Li Yueming hasn't thought about it clearly, and Su Meng is the first to fall.

Following Li Yueming's ass every day is like a head and a fart, and she will follow Li Yueming wherever she goes.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone with a pair of eyes could see that the most favored princess of the King of Zhenxi had fallen under Li Yueming's handsome face and gentle and elegant temperament.

This is not surprising.

General Li is the top man in the world, how can he be compared to those ordinary men?

In the end, out of various considerations, Li Yueming still chose to accept Su Meng.

In terms of appearance alone, Su Meng is also unique among the women Li Yueming has seen, and she is already superior, not to mention that there is still the king of Zhenxi standing behind Su Meng.

So, the two sides hit it off and soon formed a brother-in-law.

With this layer of relationship, the relationship between the Xingyue Army and the Zhenxi Army is even more unbreakable.

The Zhenxi Army once again sent 20,000 horses to Beibing Town, and the Xingyue Army also sent 50,000 horses to supplement the deficit of the Zhenxi Army, and the level of trust between the two sides increased exponentially.

And now, after two or three years of exchanges and communication, the Xingyue Army and the Zhenxi Army are basically indistinguishable from each other.

That is, in this year.

Zhou Tianzi led a coalition army of one million from the front line of Fuhu Pass to the east, preparing to annihilate the Xingyue Army in Beibing Town in one fell swoop.

This strategic goal did not come as expected.

- The Zhenxi Army is a force with a military soul, and it occupies the natural danger of Zhenxi Pass, even the Qin Army has spent so many years unable to gnaw it, as long as the Zhou Dynasty's brain does not enter the water, it will definitely not choose to take the lead in attacking the Zhenxi Army.

The headquarters of the Xingyue Army is located in Beibing Town, although it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack from the topography, but the downstream of Beibing Town is a plain formed by the alluvial water of the river.

There was such a plain, at least the army could be lined up, and there was a place where a large number of soldiers could be stationed.

The Zhou Dynasty had just experienced a war, and its strength had not yet fully recovered.

Therefore, the million-strong army declared to the outside world this time actually has moisture.

All the armies led by Zhou Tianzi, including the logistics baggage troops, were actually only 800,000.

One hundred thousand of them were still slave soldiers, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.

There are only 700,000 truly capable warriors.

Among the 700,000, 100,000 are baggage troops responsible for transporting grain and grass, and the remaining 300,000 are all ordinary soldiers, and only 300,000 elites have military souls.

Of course, don't underestimate the 300,000.

Although there are not many of them, each of them is an elite.

At the beginning, the Qin army attacked very quickly, and the passively responded to the Great Zhou seemed to be very hasty, and a large number of elites distributed throughout the country had not had time to be transferred back, and the Qin army had already burned and looted and withdrew.

It made many Qin Wang Jun quite a feeling of drawing their swords and looking around.

This expedition against the Xingyue Army was a war initiated by Zhou Tianzi on his own initiative, and the soldiers were naturally very well prepared.

Judging by the strength of the army alone.

The Xingyue Army and the Zhenbei Army joined forces with the Zhenxi Army, and the number of troops was less than half of the Great Zhou Army.

After several years of adjustment, the number of the Xingyue Army has reached 250,000, and the Zhenbei Army itself is only a remnant, with only 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the galloping aid of the Zhenxi Army, there are only less than 500,000 troops when the battle is full.

Moreover, the Zhenbei Army and the Xingyue Army are all ordinary soldiers, and the Zhenxi Army with the military soul is only 120,000. Compared with the 300,000 elite troops of the Zhou Dynasty with military souls, it is directly three-fifths less.

Of course, this war is not impossible to fight.

After all, the Xingyue Army occupies a favorable geographical position, and Beibing River Town itself is Li Yueming's lair, so there is no need to transport any grain and grass from other places, this advantage is incomparable to the royal court's troops.

The mighty royal coalition army is coming in the direction of North Glacier Town.

Truth be told, when you see the towering walls and the well-equipped army.

The entire royal coalition was stunned.

What's the situation?

How can there be a large city comparable to an important town in the Central Plains?

Among them are also generals who are proficient in military affairs.

Looking at the high walls of Beibing Town, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "You call this a town?" It's already a city, right? ”

Among the crowd, a veteran was even more distracted: "Thirty years ago, when I was young, I traveled to the border of the Great Zhou, and I had been to this cold northern frontier at that time, but at that time, I had never seen such a vast city here, Li Yueming's son is really evil, and it is incredible that he can build such a huge city in less than twenty years......

Hearing this, the others all nodded frequently, and echoed: "Indeed, to be able to make such a terrifying achievement in such a short period of time, if such a demon cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that my Da Zhou will lie on his side in the future!" ”

All the royal families who set foot in the North with the mighty coalition army were amazed by the majesty of Beibing Town, and their fear of Li Yueming and the Xingyue Army became more and more intense.

It's only been a long time!

Li Yueming has grown from an inconspicuous child of a family to the head of an army, and a few years ago, he saw the opportunity to unite the entire army in the north to rebel, and stepped on the top of Da Zhou's head.

If they can't suppress it this time, I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Bang Zhou's Destiny will be threatened and become difficult to maintain.

A coalition of princes and the Zhou royal family, Wang Ji, was stationed fifty miles away from Beibing Town.

The army has traveled long distances, and naturally there is no way to fight immediately.

It is necessary to take a short break and have enough information before we can launch an attack according to the actual situation.

……

After five days of repairs, the coalition forces launched an attack on the town of North Glacier in the early morning of the sixth day.

The soldiers of Beibing Town were naturally not to be outdone, and launched a counterattack frantically.

The two sides fought on the banks of the Northern Ice River, and millions of troops were killed in the dark, and rivers of blood flowed...... Relying on the benefits of the city wall, after the first round of fighting, the Xingyue Army did not suffer too many losses.

At this time, the coalition army suddenly discovered that after Beibing Town united with the Zhenxi Army, its strength was already able to compete with Wangji's troops, although there was still a big gap, but it would not be shattered at the slightest touch.

This discovery made the top echelons of the coalition more cautious.

The offensive became more and more steady in the following days.

When it comes to marching and fighting, those who are in a position of power should be kingly.

Hard power collides, the small number of Xingyue Army has no reserves, while the Wang Ji Guards can frequently change substitutes.

Under the elimination of one and the other, the Star and Moon Army will definitely be defeated.

Only the weaker side needs to use intrigue and tricks to make up for the difference in strength when it is unable to face the enemy head-on.

As a powerful Wangji army, the coalition has twice as many soldiers as Beibing Town.

In this case, all other strategies that cannot be put on the table can be put aside, and the Son of Heaven Coalition only needs to use hard power to crush the Star and Moon Army.

Sure enough, the judgment of the leader of the coalition forces was not wrong.

Under the rotational attrition of the coalition forces, the combat effectiveness of the Star and Moon Army declined very quickly.

Half a month later, the coalition forces organized a large-scale offensive.

Under the high-intensity war attrition, the strength loss of the Xingyue Army, the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenxi Army was very huge, and under this large-scale attack, tens of thousands of soldiers even climbed the walls of Beibing Town.

Only narrowly missed the victory.

Although he was finally driven off the city wall, the battle caused some damage to the city wall of Beibing Town.

The coalition forces were overjoyed when they saw this.

After all, the time for the establishment of North Glacier Town is still too short.

Although the city wall was built very thickly, in order to rush the work, the traditional wall construction method was not fully implemented, but a new casting method was used.

This method can make the city of Beibing Town quickly built, but the strength of the city wall is still inferior after all.
