Chapter 22 There must be a reason for the wind
In the carriage,
After Cao Zhengyu left, Cao Ze looked at the information in his hand again, and his eyes were a little colder.
He didn't show so calm in front of Cao Zhengyu.
According to intelligence records, Liangzhou and Bingzhou each sent 500,000 troops, all of which were elite armies of a state, although they were not as good as the Euphorbia and the Earth Splitting Army, but they were not much different, and each soldier was at least the early stage of the second realm.
An army of millions!
Compared with his 600,000-strong army, the overall strength is much worse.
Fortunately, although the current situation is bad, it has not entered a dead end, and the generals Chu Yuan, King Yan, King Xu, King Zhenwu and others who confronted Emperor Qian in the capital, among which the general Chu Yuan is the main force.
Although the three kings coveted the position of Emperor Qian, they did not make much of a move, and they were still recuperating, using the general as a gunman, and their own power was not much revealed.
These four secretly formed an alliance, all of them wanted to drive down the current Emperor Qian, the general Chu Yuan wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the world, and the three kings wanted to be Emperor Qiandi themselves.
The ultimate goal of the four is different, and they must eventually part ways and fight for the winner, which Cao Ze sees very clearly.
But before Emperor Qian's abdication, the three kings all supported Chu Yuan, and without the support of the three kings, Chu Yuan alone would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Chu Yuan and the three kings both knew that they had their own calculations, but they didn't care, and in the end, it depended on who was better.
Now the three kings don't want to expose their strength, only Chu Yuan's side is strong, even if the million army of the two states is added, Cao Ze feels that he can still operate it.
"It seems that Chu Yuan promised great benefits to the assassination of the two states, otherwise they would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and do such a rebellious thing." Cao Ze groaned secretly.
Liangzhou and Bingzhou are located in the northwest of the Great Qianhuang Dynasty, Liangzhou is below Bingzhou, and Bingzhou borders the small country of Shenyuan.
The people of the two states are fierce, and they have become accustomed to martial arts, and because they are frontiers, they naturally hoard heavy troops to guard them in case of accidents.
Liangzhou is more than 4,700 miles wide, with a population of more than 42 million and 2.4 million with armor, and Bingzhou is more than 3,500 miles wide, with a population of nearly 30 million and 2 million with armor.
In contrast, Qingzhou is more than 5,500 miles wide, with a population of 76 million, but only 2 million in armor, just because Qingzhou has changed from a frontier to a hinterland.
This time, the two states assassinated the history of the two states to transfer the most elite army of one million into Beijing, and its heart can be punished, and the purpose is naturally to help the general Chu Yuan, but the history of the two states of the assassination played the banner of "the side of the Qing monarch, and the Yasukuni is difficult", which is simply ridiculous.
Although it is ridiculous, this is undoubtedly very useful, but it is only useful on the surface, giving them an excuse to enter Beijing in the name of righteousness, otherwise how dare the two states assassin Shi mobilize a million troops to rush to Zhengjing?
Thinking of the history of the Liangzhou Assassin, Cao Ze couldn't help but think of another big man who played a pivotal role in the Great Qian Dynasty, Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang.
Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, one of the only two remaining kings with different surnames in the Daqian Dynasty, the fief is in Liangzhou, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command is famous all over the world.
One of the responsibilities of the Liangzhou Assassin is to spy on Xu Ping, the king of Western Liang, although this is not explicitly stated, but everyone knows that it is a fact.
In this critical period, the Liangzhou Assassin Shi brought 500,000 of Liangzhou's most elite troops into Beijing, and it is difficult not to think that he reached a tacit understanding with the King of Xiliang, or that the general Chu Yuan had a tacit understanding with Xu Ping, the King of Xiliang.
Cao Ze felt the pressure on his shoulders heavier by three points, took a deep breath, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and his expression returned to Gujing Wubo again.
In the carriage, the cold and beautiful Xue Ningmei's sense of existence was extremely low, she basically didn't take the initiative to speak, and Cao Ze only occasionally teased her a few words.
Cao Ze's eyes flashed, and he thought of an interesting question, and couldn't help asking: "Gaze, do you say that Emperor Qiandi is a man or a woman?" ”
Xue Ningmei's good-looking eyebrows were raised, and he actually thought about it seriously, and seemed to think that this question was very interesting.
After a long time, Xue Ningmei frowned and replied: "There must be a reason for the wind. ”
Cao Ze nodded, he agreed with Xue Ningmei's opinion.
In comparison, Cao Ze is on the side of the general and the three kings at this point, and he hopes that Emperor Qiandi is a woman, so that he can have more room for maneuver.
He chose the first one in part for part.
"You say, if Emperor Qiandi is really a woman, how can he save himself to keep the throne?" Cao Ze continued to ask.
Xue Ningmei shook his head.
Cao Ze smiled, and didn't ask any more questions, even he didn't have a specific answer in his heart, so he could only take one step at a time and see one step at a time, and only after sorting out the context and clarifying the situation could he make the most suitable choice.
"It would be nice if there was a strategist who offered advice to my staff......" Cao Ze whispered in his heart.
After three years in this world, he found that the historical trend of the Great Qian Dynasty in recent years coincided with some of the histories he was already familiar with.
He knew that this was no coincidence.
At the beginning, he had a cursory understanding of the production background of the virtual game "Heavenly Immortals", and claimed that it was reconstructed from a certain piece of history.
Now it seems that the direction of the Great Qian Dynasty is indeed the same, and the general direction has not changed.
In that era, there were many famous strategists, who were praised by countless people.
In the past three years, he has not paid attention to this information, and he has no understanding, mainly because Cao Ze does not know that the golden finger will be suddenly refreshed.
When Cao Ze was full of thoughts, the army was still marching, and it had marched another five hundred miles, and it was less than a hundred miles away from Yuxia Pass.
Because it was getting late, it was just the time to enter Hai, so the army set up camp on the spot, preparing to rest for one night, and enter Shenzhou through the Yuxia Pass early tomorrow morning.
Cao Ze was ready to rest here, but someone had a headache for him.
On the mountain dozens of miles away, the two cloaked people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They had just taken advantage of the darkness of the night to go to the outside of Cao Jun's camp to investigate, and the result made the two very unhappy.
The place where Cao's army was encamped was a wide plain, with no cover, and its large camp was progressive, with 400,000 broken hanging troops in the outermost area, 100,000 splitting troops in the middle, and 100,000 halberd soldiers in the innermost layer.
The three luxury carriages are located in the center of the army, and there are three steps and one post in the camp, five steps and one sentry, and there are improvised arrow towers for reconnaissance, and it is very difficult to get in.
After all, the two of them were grandmaster-level powerhouses, and they had the confidence to blend in, but the three carriages were exactly the same, and they couldn't tell which carriage Cao Ze was in.
They only had one chance, and if they missed a single blow, they had to flee immediately, or they would die in the Cao army's camp, there was no doubt about that.
Even if they succeed in escaping, their mission is basically declared a failure, and after scaring the snake, it will be extremely difficult for them to assassinate again, and there is no chance.
"Why?"
"!"
"Are you sure?"
"Not now."
"I'll do it when they enter Shenzhou."
The cloaked man on the left let out a long breath and shook his head.
Tonight's stabbing is too small.
They're here for a bounty, but they don't want to put their lives in it.
There are two kinds of bounty tasks for Cao Ze, the first is to take his life, and the second is to find out Cao Ze's reality and reality.
Either way, you'll be rewarded with great rewards.
