Chapter 229: The War Begins
months later.
Da Chu, Pengcheng.
A piece of information was placed on the desk of Jiangshan Pavilion Fan Li.
Fan Li's face was solemn.
He knew that the birth of the [Fengshen List] would inevitably have a huge impact, and even cause a certain amount of social turmoil and brain drain to the five countries of the alliance.
However, the reaction of Wei, Han, and Wu was still beyond his expectations.
The Three Kingdoms actually sent troops to the Ming Dynasty.
"Alas......"
Fan Li sighed, crumpled the half-written letter into a ball, and threw it into the wastepaper basket next to the bookcase.
He originally wanted to write a letter, vaguely hinting at Cao, Liu and Sun that he would have a way to solve the dilemma of the Three Kingdoms not being crowned gods in the future.
Just wait for Lu Fubao to succeed in cultivation, and first try to build the first Fengshen Platform in Jincheng.
Once successful, Fan Li is willing to build a Fengshen Platform for the Three Kingdoms, as long as he pays enough royalties.
He also believed in Lu Fubao.
With her natural qualifications and heart, she is definitely expected to step into the realm of harmony in this life.
Even, Mahayana and Tribulation Ascension are also possible!
But the pressure brought by the Fengshen List to the Three Kingdoms is obviously still unexpected.
The intelligence sent back by the Fan firm from Wei Han and Wu showed that a large number of Jianghu cultivators and folk hermits defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Even, officials from all over the prefecture and county guards, there are officials who have fled.
Among them, Liu Bei's big man is the most exaggerated!
The famous Confucian Zhou, known as the 'leader of Confucianism in Yizhou', actually led hundreds of disciples to defect to the Ming Dynasty.
In order to show his character, Qian Zhou openly refused to be given an official by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and participated in this year's imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty as a candidate.
He passed all the way and successfully passed the hospital examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination!
On the Jinluan Palace of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Zhou made a "Theory of Hatred of the Country".
In the article, he not only defended his treason and defection to the enemy, but also advocated that the Ming Dynasty had won the favor of heaven and would rule the world.
This article won the favor of Emperor Jiajing, and he appointed Zhou as the champion on the spot!
"Qian Zhou, the word Yunnan, a person from Langzhong in Brazil County."
"He used to be a doctor of Guanglu in the third grade of the Han Dynasty, and is now a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a five-grade official position."
Fan Li shook his head helplessly.
Daming got the god list, and sure enough, he was in the limelight for a while, and became the desire of the people all over the world.
Like Qian Zhou, he would rather give up the third-grade official and not be a bachelor, but also go to Daming to be a bachelor from the fifth grade.
In comparison, the hundreds of thousands of people abducted from the four kingdoms of Chu, Wei, Han and Wu by Empress Yaoguang are really not worth mentioning.
Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster!
Fan Li put aside the information on the brain drain of the three countries and picked up another piece of information.
To be precise, this is a war report.
"Kong Ming out of the street pavilion."
"Guo Jia is out of Wuhuan."
"Zhou Yu is out of Chibi."
"The three of them each led an army of 100,000 and attacked the important towns of the Ming border from the south, north and west in three ways."
"The three armies have all won the battle."
"Qiu Luan, the chief military officer of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Mill, the general system of the trilateral system, died in battle, and the governor Hu Zongxian was seriously injured and retired from the army, trapped in Yunzhou City."
"Kong Ming, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu's three-way army will join outside Yunzhou City, preparing to break the city with the combined army."
Yunzhou City, an important town in the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty.
There are many plains in the Ming Dynasty, once the city of Yunzhou is broken, the Wei, Han and Wu coalition forces drive straight in, and the Ming Dynasty has no peace from then on.
Fan left the battle report in his hand, and wrote a paragraph at the end:
"The prince of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty wrote a letter, asking for orders to lead the army to break the enemy, and he has obtained the permission of Emperor Jiajing, and he has specially sealed the general king of the northern part of the town, and the general commander of the whole army in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Zongnan is the deputy."
Oh?
To be honest, Fan Li was unimpressed with Wanli's leadership.
Although this person is the destiny of the Son of Heaven and has extraordinary intelligence, I am afraid it is not enough to see it in front of Kong Ming, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, the three epic military advisors.
What he really cared about was Emperor Jiajing.
The enemy has hit the doorstep, this one is actually watching from the wall?
The first person in the world?
It seems that absolute strength will produce absolute self-confidence.
The 300,000 Wei, Han and Wu coalition troops are probably also local chickens and tile dogs in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, and they are the whetstones of Prince Wanli.
As long as the Son of Heaven of the Three Kingdoms does not make a move, Emperor Jiajing will never leave his comfortable Jinluan Palace.
……
…………
Great Chu Palace, court meeting.
"Duke of Jin, Empress Yaoguang sent an envoy to the court, hoping that my Great Chu can also send troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty together with the Wei, Han and Wu Kingdoms."
"What does the empress mean is to ask the Duke of Jin to take a leave of absence from his hard work and personally lead the army to the battle?"
Xiang Chong said very politely, but with a gloating expression.
How hard is it to march and fight?
Empress Yaoguang's original intention was to only invite Da Chu to send troops.
As for who will command the army, Yaoguang is the Empress of Great Ci, not the Emperor of Chu, so of course it is inconvenient to name names.
Xiang Chong didn't want to suffer at all, and looked forward to Fan Li's death on the battlefield.
So, he did not hesitate to appoint Fan Li to lead the army to the battle, and also pretended to be the name of Empress Yaoguang.
"Your Majesty, forgive your refusal."
Fan Li didn't think about it and refused directly.
"Why!?"
Xiang Chong glared, ready to leak his domineering aura.
"Minister, too lazy."
Fan Li spat out three words from between his teeth, his tone revealing undisguised contempt.
He seemed to be reminding Xiang Chong: You kid forgot, who is in charge of Da Chu?
"Huh?"
Xiang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then his old face turned red.
He did command Fan Li.
"Then let Fan Chun lead the army, isn't he in command of 200,000 garrisons?"
"Wrong." Fan Li shook his head: "The garrison army only has 100,000 establishments, please don't talk nonsense Your Majesty." ”、
"Huh? I'm right, the garrison does have 200,000 people. ”
After Xiang Chong finished speaking, he saw Fan Li smile.
"Your Majesty."
"The imperial court pays salaries and silver every month according to the establishment of 100,000 people, so there are only 100,000 garrisons in Great Chu."
Xiang Chong was puzzled: "What about the remaining 100,000?" What are they? ”
Fan Li thought about it very seriously before he replied, "Let's be regarded as the minister's private soldier." ”
"Chu Law" clearly records that there are more than 50 private soldiers, and they are guilty of complicity and rebellion.
The Fan family has 100,000 nameless private soldiers, this is not just a rebellion, and it can already change the dynasty on the spot!
Xiang Chong looked at Fan Li in fear, swallowed his saliva, and selectively ignored every word he just said.
"Anyway."
"I have no soldiers to send."
Fan Li is the final word.
Xiang Chong was still unwilling, and his face was full of tangled expressions.
"Don't the Duke of Jin know that the Three Kingdoms sent troops to attack the Ming in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of all countries and make them believe that the Ming Dynasty is not the destiny of heaven."
"The first battle was won, and the hearts of the people of the Three Kingdoms gradually stabilized. I heard that many cultivators who had originally planned to smuggle the Ming Dynasty had given up again. ”
"But my Great Chu did not participate in the war, and the cultivators in my country were restless, and I was afraid that sooner or later they would defect to the Great Ming Dynasty......"
Fan Li looked at Xiang Chong, and then turned his head to look at the civil and military ministers under the imperial steps.
Indeed, the human heart is restless.
With Fan's years of prestige, the courtiers still looked gentle and frugal in front of Fan Li.
But in everyone's heart, God knows what to think at this moment?
God list?
No matter how generous the Fan family treats them, the ordinary material conditions can't compare to the temptation of ascending to immortals.
"If these guys are all treasonous, Da Chu will only have an empty shelf."
"In the future, how should I explain to Xiang Ning when he returns to the court?"
Fan Li thought truthfully, and finally changed his mind.
He glanced at Xiang Chong lightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister promised to send troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty."
The second chapter, which arrived belated.
