'I think when my Da Chu's true purpose is revealed, the world's jaws will definitely drop. ’

Lu Yuan thought so, and after looking below and saying his purpose, he was looking at his Zheng envoy Li Hu nervously, and said with a smile: "Since Zheng Guo is so gracious, and you and I have always been good friends, now that your country is in trouble, I naturally can't sit idly by." I agreed to send troops. ”

Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the grace of Da Chu ......"

"Hey, I'm not done yet."

Lu Yuan interrupted Li Hu's words, and then said solemnly: "Yangxia County is far away from my Great Chu Territory, and it is inconvenient for me to send grain and grass materials here. Therefore, if Zheng Guo wants me to send troops to Da Chu, then he must first reserve enough materials for one million soldiers and horses in Yangxia County to use for half a year.

In this way, our army will not be in danger of running out of supplies.

Messenger, how, Zheng Guo may agree to this request? ”

Looking at Emperor Chu's serious gaze, Li Hu felt a burst of pressure, but thinking that he had even given away a county of land, the sacrifice was so great.

Although there are a lot of military supplies for this million people for half a year, it is also necessary to deal with the Liang people.

Otherwise, you can't hire someone to support the field, and you have to bring their own dry food, right?

Chu State is not such a wronged leader!

Thinking of this, Li Hu finally made up his mind, raised his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I agreed to this request on behalf of our country." ”

Lu Yuan smiled when he heard this: "The envoy is righteous." I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and Li Qing will definitely have fun. ”

After the completion of this mission, Li Hu also relaxed a lot, and in the face of Emperor Chu's invitation, a smile appeared on his face: "Foreign minister, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

That night, one south and one north, Chang'an Wei Palace and Baling Chu Palace, all sang and danced, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

……

Lu Yuan's actions were still very fast.

After hosting the Zheng envoy Li Hu at a banquet, he asked Sun Siwen, who was the prime minister, to discuss more details of the cooperation with the other party on the second day.

And he himself found Zhou Qing to discuss this matter with the general.

The forest path is deep, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and branches, falling in the forest, and the gold is shining.

Lu Yuan walked on the cobblestone path in the mountains, followed by Zhou Qing, and said in his mouth: "I have decided to send a partial army to Yangxia County of Zheng Guo to attract the attention of Liang Guo and respond to the Yangtze River battlefield in my south. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Zhou Qing started to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Yuan: "Today is just a matter of master and apprentice talking, I don't call me, and you don't need to call me emperor, which is why I chose to speak here." Xiaoqing, I still prefer you to call me Master. ”

Looking at the elders he respected in front of him, Zhou Qing seemed to go back to the days when he and his master were still in Changning fifty years ago, his heart warmed, and he nodded: "Yes, Master." ”

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." ”

Since becoming emperor, he has become more and more aware of the meaning of being alone.

The courtiers, palace people, eunuchs, concubines, and even the queen and her own children around him are all in awe of Lu Yuan more than their feelings, and everything seems to revolve around the interests of power and power, and they are always intrigue.

The entire Chu State, or the whole world, can still treat themselves with their original intentions, and the only ones who have been with him at the beginning and helped them all the way to today are Zhou Qing and Sun Siwen.

Therefore, for these two friends and apprentices, Lu Yuan has always been rare, except in public, he must maintain the majesty of the emperor, and in private, he tries to call his name and master as much as possible, rather than distinguishing between master and slave.

In order to maintain this true feeling, it is not mixed with other things.

There was a little sentimentality in his heart, but Lu Yuandao's heart was firm, and for the sake of the great cause and the Immortal Dao, he quickly gathered his thoughts, and then asked, "Now tell me your opinion." ”

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Qing nodded, and then said: "The apprentice thinks that since we are going to send troops to Yangxia County this time, we must mainly send elite soldiers and strong generals." Yangxia County is located in Yuzhou, which is a lonely enclave for my Dachu, and once something happens there, we and other locals will not be able to respond and support in time.

And although Zheng Guo's support this time can temporarily solve the material consumption of the expeditionary army, but after all, the other party only guaranteed the supply of materials for one million people for half a year, and it is difficult to provide it with Zheng Guo's national strength.

Moreover, the real purpose of our Great Chu's dispatch of troops this time is to attract the attention of the Liang people, so that their energy and soldiers and horses will be involved in the east, so as to ignore the southern border and create an opportunity for our army to cross the river and the northern expedition.

As soon as this purpose is revealed, the two kingdoms of Wei and Liang will be defeated and retreated by me, and the rest of the countries in Kyushu will not feel frightened and panic when they see this?

Under the cold lips and teeth, even if Zheng Guo does not become a friend and an enemy, and attacks my Yangxia County army with a backhand, he will not provide any help.

At that time, the million-strong army in Yuzhou, surrounded by wolves, will have to rely on themselves.

At that time, relying only on the land of Yangxia County, it was impossible to supply too many troops, even if the army here had some gains in the back, maintaining its own consumption was the limit.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the army on this road, the expeditionary soldiers must be elite, the kind that can endure hard battles and long-term battles, and the generals must also be brave and capable, and be good at fighting tough battles.

Otherwise, it is not enough to support the situation in Yangxia County. ”

Zhou Qing gave his opinion, elite soldiers are strong generals, and they can endure hard battles.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ponder, and said after a long time: "What you said makes sense, the situation in Yangxia County is indeed not suitable for letting too many people go over." And in order to maintain the sufficient combat strength of the department, it is necessary to select elites.

So be it.

Among the three million veterans in the country, I allocated one million to form a separate Yangxia camp, with Huang Xuan as the head of the camp.

At the same time, in addition to the real people who command the soldiers and horses of all walks of life, the generals of the camp will transfer your five junior disciples, as well as Shen Qiu, Yin Huixuan, Shangguan Ming and other Jiangdong generals, who belong to Huang Xuan for direct deployment.

In this way, there are grandmasters above the congenital level in the camp, a total of nineteen people. ”

Needless to say, Huang Xuan, the head of this newly formed Yangxia Xing Camp, as Lu Yuan's first clone, although in his eyes, it was no different from the rest of the clones, it was an extension of his own will.

However, in the eyes of the world, this participated in the expedition of Zhuyi in the southwest, opened up the valley county, shined in the battle of Chu Ning, broke the Ning army, captured Yuzhang County, and laid a key step for the later victory of the Chu State.

and the surprise attack on Hanzhong, led the army to destroy the South China Sea, and took Qingyunzi of Jian'an County; Led the army to Ping Yongxi, commanded the snow plains and Zhufan, descended to the west of Liang, guarded Hanzhong for decades, and repeatedly broke Huang Xin, who was barbarian in the northwest.

These three people are all recognized by the world, and the Chu State is second only to the Chu Emperor Lu Yuan, and they are all famous generals who have the merit of destroying the country.

Lu Yuan sent Huang Xuan out, not because of ability, in fact, all his clones had the same direction of wisdom except for their own combat power.

What he used was Huang Xuan's prestige in the hearts of outsiders.

Just imagine, the capital of Chu sent a famous general in the world, does Liang dare not pay attention to it?

And except for Huang Xuan, the subordinates that Lu Yuan allocated to him were not fuel-efficient lamps.

Not to mention his five major disciples, they are veterans who have been cultivated by themselves and have been fighting for fifty years.

Let's not talk about personal force, leading troops to fight, there will never be the slightest problem.

As for Shen Qiu and Yin Huixuan, one of these two is the lord of the former Ning Kingdom, and the other is the first person in the original Jiangnan martial arts, and their identities are definitely first-class.

The strength is already the second realm of the innate realm, and it is in the first-class echelon in the world.

Even if it is Shangguan Ming, it is a fifty-year veteran congenital, his strength will not be bad, and the means of leading troops to fight are also veterans who have fought old battles, so he is not far behind.

Lu Yuan allocated these people to the Yangxia camp, plus millions of veterans, which was definitely a high match.

Zhou Qing also knew that this configuration was powerful, and after listening to the arrangement at this time, he couldn't help nodding: "With these veterans and strong generals, the Yangxia camp should be fine." ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Not only that, if the monarchs and ministers of the Liang Kingdom in the north hear the details of my Yangxia camp, I am afraid that they will not be able to sleep day and night, and the beacon fire will be staring at the eastern border." ”

Zhou Qing hesitated: "What does Master mean?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "Since the original intention of setting up the Yangxia Camp is to let it serve the purpose of attracting Liang people's soldiers and horses, it is natural to let it play its due role."

After some time, when the personnel of the battalion were fully deployed, and the men and horses had been sent to Yangxia County, they would gain a firm foothold there.

The news of this big camp can be released in due time for those Liang people to know. ”

Zhou Qing nodded: "Yes, the disciple will let people do it when the time comes." ”

"I'll leave it to you."

Lu Yuan arranged it casually, and then said: "The matter of the Yangxia camp has been decided in this way. In this way, one of the original five camps was set up, and there were still four camps to arrange.

Recently, however, Huang Yun and Li Liang, who I sent as envoys to Wei, have sent back news that Wei's strength in the western frontier is much stronger than originally predicted......"

He briefly told Zhou Qing what Huang Yun saw and the situation of those fierce villagers in Wei Township, and then said: "To sum up, the soldiers and horses that Wei can use in the western border are not the 150 people, 22.5 million people, or even 3 million people we originally thought.

Judging from this, the Hanzhong partial army that we originally arranged will be a little difficult to deal with the situation in Guannai and Shuofang. ”

The original arrangement of the Hanzhong partial army was only a part of the Wei State camp, and the subordinate soldiers and horses were only 200,000 soldiers, 800,000 people, and five congenital people, and the strength was not strong.

It is just a supplement to the plan to destroy Wei, not the main force.

But now, as more information from Wei returned, the original arrangement was out of touch with actual needs and had to be revised and supplemented.

Moreover, Han Shun, a disciple who was originally scheduled to be placed in Hanzhong, has now decided to be transferred to Yangxia County, which must also be arranged in time.

Lu Yuan expressed what he meant, and then continued: "It's just right now, the Yangxia camp only needs elite soldiers and strong generals, so the two million people who were originally assigned to them will also be empty.

and the 200,000 soldiers of the battalion also increased.

I plan to assign these 200,000 soldiers and 1.2 million people to Huang Xin, and set up another battalion, with him as the head of the battalion, responsible for the formation of the Hanzhong battalion.

Transfer five more Innate Grandmasters over.

In this way, there are 400,000 soldiers in the Hanzhong camp, 2 million people, and ten congenitals, which are enough to take on the responsibility of the front.

As for the two counties of Henan and Nanyang in the eastern border of Wei State, the Heyang camp was formed, and Qingyunzi served as the head of the camp.

The camp is equipped with one million soldiers, two million people, and nineteen congenital masters. ”

The Yangxia camp was responsible for attracting the firepower of the Liang State, the Hanzhong and Heyang camps were responsible for destroying the Wei State, and the six major camps of the Northern Expedition of the Chu State were determined.

'There are one million soldiers in the Yangxia camp, and there are nineteen people in the first place.

There are 400,000 soldiers in the Hanzhong camp, 2 million people, and 10 people.

There are 1 million soldiers in the Heyang camp, 2 million people, and 19 people.

In this way, there are 2.4 million soldiers, 4 million people, and 48 people. ’

After listening to his master's arrangement, Zhou Qing slowly counted the number of soldiers and horses to be used in his heart, and then said: "Master, in this case, after arranging these three camps, I will have three million six hundred thousand soldiers, eight million people, and sixty-seven innate grandmasters left in Dachu, which have not yet been arranged." ”

"Yes, there are still these people."

Lu Yuan nodded: "These people, I plan to divide them into three camps: west, middle, and east. Huang Lin was the head of the camp on the west road, leading 1.2 million soldiers, 2 million people, and 20 people.

He was responsible for crossing the river from Jiangxia County of Liang State to the north, and was responsible for capturing Jiangxia, Xingyang, and Jiyin counties of Liang State along the way, and taking its eastern border.

After taking the eastern part of Liang State, he led the troops to be stationed on the spot to guard against Wei and Zhao soldiers and horses in the west and north.

In the middle of the camp, I personally served as the commander, leading 1.6 million soldiers, 2.5 million people, and 25 people.

The East Road camp has Qing Xuanzi as the head of the camp, leading 800,000 soldiers, 1.5 million people, and 15 people.

At the beginning, the two routes of the central and eastern routes crossed the river from Guangling County together, taking advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the Liang State was attracted by the Yangxia camp and its southern border and the emptiness of the country, and quickly conquered the three prefectures of Guangling and Donghai County of the Liang State in the north of the river.

Then the two camps were separated.

The camp on the east road continued to the east, along the road to capture Chengyang, Rencheng, Yingling, Jiaodong and other counties in the south and southeast of Liang State, and strive to open the road to Yangxia County in Yuzhou, and join forces with the Yangxia camp led by Huang Xuan.

And I continued to lead the main force of the middle lane, attacked Liang County to the north, attacked Liang City in Gyeonggi, and attracted its main force to come back to threaten its central and northern counties.

At the same time, stick to it here, wait for the East Road and Yangxia Road to join the camp, and then lead the troops to outflank them from behind, annihilating the last remnants of the Liang State near Daliang in one fell swoop, and destroying its Sheji Guozuo. ”

Lu Yuan recounted the plan to destroy the beam that he had thought about in these days, and the camp was divided into four routes, marching from all sides, including diverting the tiger from the mountain, avoiding the real and attacking the false, echoing left and right, smashing the Yellow Dragon directly, hitting its vital points, and making a detour for thousands of miles.

It can be said that his style of employing troops, as well as his own advantages and the characteristics of the Chu army's good at roundabouts, have been brought into full play.

Otherwise, with such a complicated plan and such a large-scale troop mobilization, ordinary people really can't turn around.

Lu Yuan can play with it, it is because of the achievements of fifty years of Chu army construction, his rich experience in commanding troops, and most importantly, the immortal means of creating a clone.

Cultivating immortals and adding the art of war is the core of this mobilization of tens of millions of soldiers and horses.

Isn't this immortal method just unplayable for ordinary people?

After listening to his master's plan, Zhou Qing sighed and said: "If this strategy is followed, the Liang Kingdom will die." ”

In the face of Lu Yuan's series of combination punches, tens of millions of soldiers and horses worked together, if they could really reach a joint with each other, then no one in this world could really stop it.

Liang Guo can't.

Even the Chu State that launched this plan, if it was unprepared, if someone came to do this, it would be enough to choke.

However, after Zhou Qing sighed, he still felt unsatisfied, and asked: "Master, in addition to the above arrangement, there are still two million people and seven innate people left, are these people not moving?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled when he heard this: "I don't want to use these people for the time being, but I am going to stay in the country." I have thought about it again these days, and tens of millions of soldiers and horses have been drawn away from the country at once, and more than 100 congenitals are almost empty.

Originally, only fourteen congenitals were left in the country, as well as a few local government and county soldiers and people's bravery, and the defense was still too empty.

If you want to defend the southwest of the country, Lingnan, Hanzhong, the eastern coast, and the heart of the country, it is really difficult to fully take into account.

Therefore, I am going to leave a general, leading the remaining six congenitals, as well as the original fourteen congenitals, a total of twenty-one, to stay in the country and guard their hometown.

At the same time, the two million people who remained were trained and reorganized according to the requirements of the local government and county soldiers, so as to strengthen the defense force of the country.

In this way, although it will further increase the logistical pressure, it can ensure the back road, and these costs are also bearable. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Qing and said, "The position of the general who stayed behind in the country is too important, and it cannot be held by a confidant. I want you to take over this role, Xiaoqing, are you willing? ”

Zhou Qing was slightly silent, and then nodded: "The disciple is willing, and swears to guard Dachu for the master." ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he smiled and patted the eldest disciple's shoulder: "I know that you are a little wronged to let you quit the Northern Expedition and not be able to participate in meritorious service." Don't worry, after the destruction of Liang Wei, the remaining Zhao, Xu, Zheng, Tang, Xu, Jin and other countries, I will let you be the commander of the army all the way, and personally go to destroy a national merit. ”

Zhou Qing shook his head: "Master, you know the disciples, I don't care about these false names. In this life, I only wish that my great Chu will be prosperous and everything in the world will be peaceful. ”

Lu Yuan laughed: "That's right, it's worthy of being my most proud big disciple, this kind of open-mindedness is the hero of the world." ”

……

months later.

Forty years of Shenwu, September and autumn.

After months of preparation and momentum, the matter of Zheng Guo's cession of land to Chu State, which was in turmoil in Kyushu, finally came to an end.

In the face of Liang's protests, the state of Chu still sent troops to Yangxia strongly.

He also sent Huang Xuan, a famous general in the country, to command the troops, and set up the Yangxia camp on the spot in Yangxia County, which was ceded by Zheng State, and commanded millions of troops to threaten the eastern border of Liang State.

Liang Guo was deeply disturbed by this.

So Emperor Liang ordered to also form the Jiaodong camp, which also gathered millions of troops to compete with the Yangxia camp of the Chu State.

For a time, between Chu and Liang, the smell of beacon fire was permeated, and a big war was about to break out.

Kyushu in the world, because of the confrontation between the first and second two powerful countries in the world, is surging again, and the war clouds are thick.

The Northern Expedition of Chu officially kicked off.
