"Who dares to stop the Son of Heaven's military parade?" The guard general Chongli shouted.

"Flying Rider Qiang Xing, see the king!" Facing a young general, he gave up his hand on horseback.

"Lone is about to parade on the battlefield, why can the little general stop it?"

"Report to the King: Battlefield drills, no one is allowed to trespass!"

"Is the military order greater than the king's order?" Ji Hu's face sank.

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!"

"Oh?" Ji Hu's eyes flashed: "Did General Ziliang teach you this?" ”

"Then the commander's order is a military order, right?" Wei He asked leisurely.

Qiang Xing raised his head and arched his hand: "Wei Shuai, the last general is abrupt." Raise your sword and shout: "King! ”

The Taniguchi horse team responded with a row of horns, and the whining sound was long and undulating through the sky. Rong Yi next to him asked in a low voice: "Since the battlefield only hears the golden drum, I don't know who created it when the horn is reported?" ”

Wei He smiled: "There are many friends and big brothers, and there will be more new creations like Chengzhou Eighth Division in the future." ”

As he spoke, he heard a high-pitched and urgent trumpet sound coming from the valley. Qiang Xing waved his hand, and the trumpet of the Taniguchi horse team started again, which was also short and urgent. At the same time, Qiang Xingyi arched his hand and said loudly: "Report to the king: the deputy marshal ordered a certain leader to enter the valley!" ”

Ji Hu waved his arm: "Go!" Obviously, he was about to gallop his horse, and Qiang Xing arched his hand again and said loudly: "The military camp is not allowed to gallop horses in non-wartime, and the king should go into the valley!" ”

Ji Hu was angry and laughed: "Okay, good! Walk, go! ”

Everyone was amazed as the horses entered Taniguchi. This unremarkable valley from a distance is actually a well-renovated battlefield-style military camp, with ravines crisscrossing streams, and there is not a single military tent in sight, but there is a faint camp in the ears. If it weren't for the fact that the smoke and dust banner had been clearly seen on the hill where they came, no one would have believed that this was the new camp of Chengzhou that hid thousands of troops and horses.

Rong Yi, who had comments from time to time along the way, didn't say a word after entering the valley, just looked around intently, and exclaimed at the end: "Such a weather, you can't do it once!" The famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty will become the stars and shine! ”

Ji Hu, who was walking on the side, couldn't help laughing: "Borrowing Mr. Ji's words, if this is the case, isn't it providential?" ”

Turning around a mountain in the valley, it suddenly became clear that the large army had gathered in the middle of the valley. Ji Duoyou and his military advisor Gongsun Yu strode to usher in it, bringing the kings and ministers of Zhou to the golden drum in the center of the phalanx. The meaning of Duoyou is to ask Ji Hu to board the cloud car for a military parade first, and then return to the shogunate to report on the situation of the army. Ji Hu nodded happily and instructed Rong Yi and Wei He to board the cloud car together.

Duoyou and the three of them just stepped into the bottom of the cloud car, the flag outside the car was split, a neat horn sounded, and the four people in the car rose leisurely, smoothly and quickly straight to the top of the cloud car more than ten zhang high.

Rong Yi exclaimed: "The cloud car doesn't climb the ladder, it's really amazing!" ”

Wei He said with a smile: "This is all the ingenuity of my strategist Gongsun Yu, who has been figuring out with craftsmen in the arsenal all day long, and all kinds of weapons of the Eighth Division of Chengzhou have been improved, especially the power of the machine-fired crossbow has increased greatly, which can be said to be different from the past." ”

Ji Duoyou quipped: "Master Yu is so ingenious and good-working, when you first came, you thought he was in the way, and he always shook his face!" ”

Wei He blushed: "It's not because of my mother, I always don't worry about me." Everywhere you go, can you send someone to follow you, can you not be annoyed? ”

Everyone laughed, and Duji Hu thought of his mother's mother, and his face was pale.

In a moment, the cloud car was stopped. The four of them stepped out of the carriage and saw the mountains on all sides, with white clouds lightly surrounding the mountains, and sometimes hovering around the cloud car within reach, suddenly in the sky. As far as the eyes are watching, the valley and the slopes on all sides are lined up with a phalanx of foot riders hunting with banners, like a red poplar forest permeating the mountains and rivers, and everyone can't help but be awe-inspired.

Duoyou didn't realize it, and arched his hand and said: "King Chenqi: The army is assembled, dare to ask the king to read the weather of each army." Ji Hu nodded.

Duoyou waved his hand to Sima Yi, the military commander of Yunche holding the banner: "Show the army in order!" ”

The military commander Sima made a promise, rolled and turned the mechanism, and the flattened and drooping banner suddenly swept through the air, and the war drums were like thunder under the cloud car.

"Iron Cavalry Phalanx, 10,000!" Duoyou shouted the order, which can be regarded as a report to Zhou Wang Jihu.

In the center of the valley, a snow-bright sword suddenly erected, and ten thousand horses roared in unison, and the iron armor shimmered.

"Infantry military formation, fifty thousand!"

The banner swept by, the spears of the eastern mountains were like forests, and the southern mountains were held high by swords and shields.

"Repeater crossbow phalanx, ten thousand!"

On the western slope of the hill there was a neat sound of trumpets, and thousands of long arrows swept through the valley like a storm and flew over the mountain, whistling straight behind the mountain.

Rong Yi asked in surprise: "How many arrows are you fired at one time?" What is the range? ”

Duoyou replied: "1,000 large crossbow machines, 5,000 individual crossbow machines, and 20,000 long arrows can be fired in a row!" The range is one mile away! ”

Rong Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "Such a divine weapon, the world is invincible!" ”

"Large siege equipment battalion, 10,000!"

There was a rumbling thunderstorm on the road under the cloud car, a large cloud ladder almost as high as the cloud car, a knife car with sharp knives, a crash car equipped with a thick iron pillar, a special large crossbow machine with a thick fire oil arrow that could fire arms, a ditch bridge equipped with a three-foot thick iron plank that could be quickly spread out on the trench, etc., or pulled by oxen and horses or pushed by soldiers, and flowed continuously, walking for half an hour.

"The ordnance battalion and the baggage battalion failed to conduct the exercise, so I dare to ask the king to inspect it in person."

"Let's patrol again tomorrow, and think about it today."

"Drop the car!"

Under an order, the cloud car rumbled down, and suddenly it had arrived at the Jiangtai. Junchen got out of the car, Ji Duoyou whispered a few words to Qiang Xing, and Qiang Xing shouted loudly: "Gather the drum!" ”

The four drums on the drum stand were beaten together, and the flags in the middle of the valley and on the four hillsides were flying, and a team of elite horses flew to the front of the platform one after another. In a matter of moments, two rows of generals with armor were lined up under the platform.

"The Son of Heaven will be the general! Please report to the generals of the whole army! Gongsun Yu shouted loudly.

In a moment, the number was announced, Ji Hu bit his cheek and choked out tears for a long time, and the valley of the 100,000 army was so quiet that only the sound of people and horses could be heard. Finally, Ji Hu spoke in a hoarse voice:

"All the generals are in the Yingling, and the officers and soldiers of the whole army will be in the Yinghua year. The new army of Cheng Zhou is the most elite division of kings since the founding of our Great Zhou Dynasty! When he was young, he was responsible for the country's life, although God could not praise him. The destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether the royal family can prosper, are all on the shoulders of the young and strong! Protecting the Central Plains, stopping the chaos at the end of the war, and deterring the rebellion of the rebels, all need our blood to spill the battlefield! Thousands of years of history, China is peaceful, we need to work hard! If you succeed, you will make meritorious contributions, and if you lose, the country will be ruined, where will the Great Zhou Dynasty go, Ji Hu is willing to hear the hearts of all the soldiers! ”

"Protect the Central Plains, Zhongxing royal family!"

"The final battle is over, and the king is invincible!"

The tsunami-like oath of the mountains shook like rolling thunder, and the mountains boiled for a long time------

As soon as he entered the tent of the Chinese army shogunate, Ji Hu's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time: "Such an elite division is enough to stand alone in the world!" What is Qi afraid of? As long as Lu Bushan dares to send troops, he will level the Qi realm in one fell swoop and go straight to Linzi! ”

"The king is cautious!" Rong Yi admonished softly. Ji Hu saw that Wei He and Ji Duoyou also exchanged a rather unnatural look, and suddenly felt something different in his heart, and slowly sat down behind the desk and asked, "Isn't there any difficulty?" ”

Ji Duoyou is now the actual commander of the Chengzhou battalion, and the situation is the clearest, but he didn't shirk it, so he stepped forward and arched his hand: "King, although the new army exercise has been completed, the ------ has no follow-up. If the Qi State really raises the country's troops to fight, it may not have a chance of victory. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Ji Hu was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou will consume hundreds of catties of new copper per day just for the exercise, and if there is a real war, I am afraid that the cost will be doubled. Since last winter, the copper material sent to Luoyi through the jujube channel has been decreasing and almost extinct, so the copper consumed in this exercise is supported by the inventory of the vassal states of the Central Plains. ”

Duoyou glanced at Wei He and emphasized: "Especially Wei Hou, who almost poured out the inventory of Wei Guo, so that he had the results of this king parade. ”

Hearing this, Ji Hu got up and said to Wei He: "If the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are like you Wei He, why worry about the instability of the country? ”

"Thank you, Weihou!" Several people thanked in unison.

"Don't, don't ------" Wei He was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shook his hand: "After all, the widow is the commander of the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, isn't this how it should be?" ”

"King," Rong Yi arched his hand and said: "Wei Hou is admittedly noble, but it is a very long-term plan, according to the minister's foolish opinion, it is still necessary to dredge the channel with the jujube as soon as possible, and quickly transport the products produced by Tonglu Mountain into Chengzhou, which is a common policy." I just don't know, what's in the way? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Ji Hu flicked his sleeves angrily: "Of course it's him who is in control." Since the rat Gu incident, he seems to have torn his face with my royal family, not only has he repeatedly made enemies with Suiguo, but he is eager to seize the Copper Green Mountain. Now it is even more openly cut off the channel with the jujube, so that my Wang Shi cannot be supplemented with copper materials, so as to secretly help the Qi country. It's really tolerable, it's unbearable! ”

It's going to be hard to do. Due to the constraints of copper supply, the elite royal divisions who have already been drilled can't go out on a big scale, can they only sit back and watch the destruction of the Qi country? If this is the case, what is the face of the Zhou royal family? If you turn around and attack the E, you can open up the Suizao Passage and dredge the golden road, but if the Qi State, or the ill-intentioned Song State, take the opportunity to attack Cheng Zhou, what should you do? Left and right, what is the solution to this dead end?

Rong Yi squinted at Duoyou and lowered his head and groaned, as if he was thinking, and asked directly: "General Ziliang, does he have any way to solve it?" ”

This question focused everyone's attention on Duoyou, and Wei He shook his arm and hurriedly urged: "Yes, big brother, didn't you say that there is a way?" What is the method? Now that the king is here, you can just say it! ”

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Duoyou bowed deeply to Ji Hu: "King, if you are not the last general, you are really not thoughtful." However, this matter cannot be handled in isolation, and must be considered as a whole. According to the foolish opinion of the last general, we should put aside the affairs of Qi first, attack Hubei first, and shock the Quartet in one fell swoop! ”
