In the middle of March of the sixth year of the Taichu.

Emperor Wei hunted Qingzhou and was assassinated.

Upon investigation, it was determined that the assassin was a member of the Chu State.

Emperor Wei was furious, and specially announced to the world that he would raise troops to attack Chu.

At this point, Wei gathered an army of 700,000, known as a million male divisions, and sent troops from the Qingzhou frontier, and the original battle line was to take Chu Linguan and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains of Chu through this pass.

Luoyang, the night before the pledge meeting.

Mi Yue had no sleep all night.

The same is true for Zhao Changqing.

In the past few days, the entire Wei country has been busy.

Although the Wei State had been preparing for many years in order to raise troops and send Chu, it was really at this moment that they really realized how difficult it was to lead an army of 700,000 to go on an expedition.

Although the baggage, grain and grass, and the dispatch of each battalion have long been prepared for a rainy day, for a while, the strength of the whole country has only been prepared for nearly a year, especially the dispatch of each battalion, which really makes the generals who have assembled the army feel a big headache.

It is really a bit difficult for the border guards to be transferred, the local armies to be mobilized, and the troops that can fight well have to be mobilized.

Everyone clearly understands that it is estimated that it will not be a few years to fight in the Chu State, and it will be difficult to distinguish what the winner will be.

However, all the preparations were prepared on time the day before the pledge meeting.

This is how powerful it is that the state apparatus is thoroughly functioning.

Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow's expedition.

This time, it was Zhao Changqing who personally took command and drove the expedition in person.

Bai Qi served as the deputy marshal, Jia Xu served as the military advisor, Zhuge Liang temporarily supervised the country, and Zhao Yun as the important weapon of the military state, so it was time to reflect his status in the army.

That is to serve as a wake-up call to the whole country and to suppress it.

After the 700,000-strong army goes out on the expedition, there can be no worries.

Huo Qubing served as the vanguard, and Yue Fei served as the commander of the rear army.

Under the moonlight.

Zhao Changqing was holding his two children to play, and Mi Yue was waiting on the side.

By this time, he was already wearing a battle armor.

The two children saw their father's dress for the first time, especially Zhao Hongji, and they felt strange because of this, and he asked: "Father, why are you wearing this dress, thick, hard, it's really uncomfortable to be held by you like this." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled happily, since he had a child, his favorite thing to do was to hear the milky voice of his children every day.

He didn't give any explanation, but flickered to him: "Father is going to go on a long trip to get some fun things for you, and when Father leaves tomorrow, you will have to listen to your mother, you know?"

Zhao Hongji and Zhao Weixi were a little unhappy when they heard that their father was about to go away.

But after hearing something funny, the brother and sister both had their eyes shining, nodded one after another, and did not speak.

Their appearance amused Zhao Changqing.

He said to them, "Go and play, my father wants to have something to say to your concubine." ”

The two children were very sensible, and under the protection of the eunuchs and palace maids, they went to the side to continue playing.

Zhao Changqing looked at Mi Yue, and said with a smile: "I will go on the expedition tomorrow."

Who knew that before he could say the second half of the sentence, he saw Mi Yue kneeling in front of his eyes.

Zhao Changqing was puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

Mi Yue bowed down to him and said, "I beg Your Majesty to go on this expedition, for the sake of the concubine's father and emperor, who are already old, and can spare his life." ”

Zhao Changqing groaned when he heard this, then helped her up and said: "I didn't want to kill Emperor Chu in the first place, not to mention, he is also your father and emperor, I just want to occupy the land of Chu, don't you want to live in your lifetime, can you still visit the old place again?"

Mi Yue didn't expect the emperor to be able to agree to her request, and for a while, she cried with joy and choked up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

On the side of Chu, when he suddenly learned that Wei was coming to attack, he actively dispatched domestic troops and prepared to rush to the frontier to resist the Wei army.

And this time, the leader of the Chu army is none other than Emperor Chu himself.

The battle between the two emperors is destined to shake the history books.

This time, the state of Chu also gathered an army of 600,000 and prepared to start a decisive battle with the Wei army in the border pass.

These 600,000 are almost all the troops that the Chu State can dispatch except for the defenders from all over the country.

After the end of the First World War, the state of Chu was really badly damaged.

In recent years, although there has been a period of recuperation, it is difficult to recruit hundreds of thousands of young men to join the army.

If the Chu army wants to really recover its livelihood and reach the previous level, I am afraid it will take a full ten years.

As for the Wei army, it is the opposite.

Not to mention leading an army of 700,000 to attack Chu.

As long as Zhao Changqing is willing, it doesn't matter if he really leads a million heroes.

It can be seen how strong the national strength of Wei is now.

It is also worthy of being the last hegemon during the period of the five-nation hegemony.

The current national strength is so strong that it can barely be compared to the Tang State.

At the oath meeting the next day, Zhao Changqing did not say anything superfluous, but just reminded the soldiers of the three armies that the murder that the Chu State had created in the Wei State, this kind of hatred that does not share the sky, must be done no matter what, and now, the Wei State is already at an unprecedented peak state, and he has this qualification, he can seek revenge against the Chu State and challenge them.

Since the hegemony of Wei, entering the current Warring States Period, the sense of honor and pride of the people of Wei has become more and more heavy.

In the past, the Wei state was indeed quite weak, and it was often attacked by neighboring countries.

But now the Wei State is already strong and strong, and it has dominated the world, and it is no longer that weak country!

Who doesn't say that since Zhao Changqing served as the emperor of Wei, the overall national strength of Wei has been rising?

coincided with the prosperous era to meet Mingjun, and the common people of Wei felt that they were very happy.

After the news of Wei Huachu reached the ears of various countries, it shocked the world.

Emperor Tang wanted to send troops to help Chu, but met with opposition from his ministers.

They all agreed that declaring war on Wei now was definitely not an appropriate opportunity.

After the fight between Wei and Chu is fought to the death, isn't it fragrant to reap the benefits of the fisherman?

But I'm afraid that at that time, the Wei State occupied the land of the Chu State, and the national strength was greatly increased again, if this is the case in the future, then the Tang Emperor would not even have a chance to cry.

The current Tang State is at a critical moment in the struggle between imperial power and relative power, so he will have no time to care about it and live up to the painstaking efforts of the Chu State to insist on alliing with the Tang State.

Originally, Emperor Tang thought that there should be some movement on the Song side.

Who knew that Emperor Song suddenly said a folk proverb about the dispute between Wei and Chu, 'It's not about yourself.' ’

Well, this is the consistent policy of the Song State.

As the richest country in the world, the Song State did not pay much attention to the changes in the international situation, they only focused on domestic political stability, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

For the time being, among all the nations of the world, it is the richest country whose people are the richest.

Then it must belong to the Song Kingdom.

Song Guo is really rich.

On the way to the border pass, the Wei army, which had already been opened, learned the news of Emperor Chu's personal expedition.

Zhao Changqing and Yan Dayue, in this way, this battle can be regarded as interesting.

In the marching tent, Jia Xu reported to Zhao Changqingyu: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 horses led by General Huo Qubing have arrived in the border area, and they have already investigated the situation of Chu Linguan, and there are only 20,000 defenders in the pass at present. ”

Zhao Changqing stared at the map and muttered, "Accurate." ”

Jia Xu nodded when he heard this.

Zhao Changqing took his gaze off the map and said to Jia Xu, "Do you know the meaning of the name Chu Linguan?"

Jia Xu said: "Weichen heard that it seems to mean that the soldiers of Chu are coming to the city, but they don't know too much about the specifics. ”

Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said: "Chu Linguan has always been an important town of Wei State, but unfortunately after the invasion of Chu State, it was taken away by Chu State, and the original name of Guan Town was Rejection Chu Pass. Later, after being occupied by the Chu State, they changed their name to Chu Linguan, which meant that the soldiers of the Chu State would come to the city of Wei. In the first battle, we started from Chu Lin Pass, told Huo Qu to be ill, and let him capture Chu Lin Pass at all costs within fifteen days!"

The battle between Wei and Chu finally started at Chu Linguan.

Countries are looking forward to seeing who will win and lose this first battle.

Obviously, if the defenders of Chu Linguan could wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Chu, then Chu would have won the battle.

If it is captured by Wei, it will be Wei Guosheng.

In a big battle that exerts the strength of the country, often the first battle can determine many factors.

The first blood, Zhao Changqing is bound to win.

My friend's new book, written very well, the writing is quite delicate, the storyline is also good, the author has a finished book, and the character is quite guaranteed.
