The system forced me to be emperor

As they said that, the two of them took out a thick official document, which was used for job reporting, and it recorded in detail the official status of their respective responsibilities.After the internal officer presented it to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui flipped through it briefly, and said: "I will take a look at this in the future, I'd better listen to you talk about it yourself, and talk about something that I am more interested in."

Zhang Liang signaled Tian Boyuan to give priority to the elder, let him speak first.

Tian Boyuan said: "Your Highness, the army is busy farming and training in leisure time. As 100% of the soldiers are willing to make their homes in Anxi Province and marry local women, they have established military towns with 12 troops in ten states. , with a total force of [-] million. Once the western state of Qin invades, they can quickly assemble and deal a heavy blow to the opponent. In addition, on Qijiang, Gan Ning was appointed as the commander of the water army. On the basis of recruiting the strength of the Qijiang battalion, he formed a The three water armies are stationed at the river section of Qijiang Prefecture, Songyang Prefecture, and Jiangquan Prefecture respectively, with a total force of [-]!"

The fourteen prefectures in Anxi are the central five continents: Lanzhou, Eastern Tibet, Zangxi, Lingshan, and Qishui, and the five northern states: Songyang, Songxia, Yanggu, Suizhou, and Kaizhou.Four states in the south: Jiangquan Prefecture, Jiangzhong Prefecture, Yuanzhou, and Sazhou.

The Qijiang River originates from the northern grasslands, and it is the longest river in the mainland of China formed by the convergence of countless small streams from the snow-capped mountains. The Yellow River flows through the loess area in Daxia, forming the unique color of the Yellow River water.

In addition, the Yangtze River in the south of Daxia and the Yanjiang River in Yan State were divided into two rivers by the terrain when the Qi River flowed to the border. The perfusion forms a turbulent river that rolls eastward and merges into the sea.

Now Daxia has selected three suitable river sections on the Qijiang River to form a water army, which is not only to prevent Qin from crossing the river to invade, but also a strategic reserve.

"What is the number of warships?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "Forty super-large warships, nearly a hundred large-scale warships, the largest warship can support more than [-] people to fight, more than [-] medium-sized warships, can support a hundred people to fight, and small-scale warships can support [-] people." There are more than a hundred boats, and after more than two years of training, these sailors are already proficient in combat, much better than the former Qijiang battalion. If Jiang Ying is at the level, then they will have to bathe in the water."

Xiao Rui nodded. The role of the warship is not only to fight against the enemy, but also to cross the river.If you really want to attack Qin, how to cross the river with hundreds of thousands of troops is a difficult point.The Qijiang River is not like the Yellow River. Some sections of the river will be closed in winter, but the Qijiang River will not.

Of course, not absolutely not.

As the temperature in winter is getting lower and lower, it is also possible to freeze and seal the Qijiang River. Once the river is sealed to allow people to walk, then this obstacle will no longer exist.

But who knows when the river will be closed, so the construction of the navy must not be underestimated.

Now the water army can fight, can fight tough battles, plus ten garrisoned military towns, the current fourteen prefectures of Anxi are as solid as gold, and they will never be afraid of the Qin army's attack.

However, as the soldiers and horses of Marquis Changsheng and Marquis Zhenyuan are stationed in Anxi, correspondingly, the number of troops in the land of Daxia is much smaller.

If a large-scale uprising suddenly broke out in Daxia, the local commanders and envoys alone would not be able to stop it.

Therefore, the increase in land area and population will inevitably increase the military strength.

This is also a question that Xiao Rui will plan carefully in the future.

Chapter 596: Han Xinwu's Nine Arrays!

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Rui listened to Chang Shenghou's report on the defense situation of the fourteen prefectures in Anxi. Now the fourteen prefectures have more troops than Daxia's local troops. If it's just for defense, half of the troops should be left, and the rest should be transferred back to the mainland. But the battle between Great Xia and Qin would start at some point, so Xiao Rui discussed with His Majesty and did not call back the troops.

With the expansion of the country's land area, the military strength will naturally increase. The troops transferred from the country's territory will be re-recruited. Xiao Rui has seriously considered this matter.

According to Chang Shenghou's narration, Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin are already in the position of commander-in-chief, leading the rank of Zhaoyong general.He has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is the leader of the top ten generals under the command of Chang Shenghou and Zhenyuanhou, especially Han Xin, who has surpassed Chen Qingzhi and has earned the reputation of the god of war in the Fourteen States of Anxi.

In more than three or four years, from a servant of the Yan Kingdom to a third-rank general, Han Xin's achievements inspired a large number of men, especially the old people of the Zhao Kingdom. They accepted their identity as Xia Guoren, and naturally wanted to stand out. , and Han Xin's achievement just happened to be broadcast by the Great Xia court: as long as you have the ability, you can serve the court, and you can get the future you want!

Therefore, Han Xin's achievements also subtly brought convenience to Da Xia.

"Now that Anxi is peaceful, can Han Xin endure loneliness?" Xiao Rui couldn't help asking.

Tian Boyuan said with a smile: "Replenish, keep a low profile, General Han understands this truth. Now that the busy farming season is over, General Han has begun to train soldiers and is practicing formation."

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What formation?"

Xiao Rui only brought 5000 iron dragon cavalry into Qi State. Later, the soldiers and horses of Marquis Chang Sheng, the supervisor of the army, ran to the imperial capital of Zhao State before they could participate in the battle in person.

In Xiao Rui's heart, he has long been fascinated by leading troops to fight, but unfortunately he knows his ability, he is not suitable for leading troops at all.

Marching and fighting is knowledge, the more people there are, the more difficult it will be.Among the Twelve Army Marquises, there are not many who can effectively and efficiently command an army of more than 50 in combat, among which Champion Hou and Chang Shenghou are the best.

As for other military marquises, they are mostly auxiliary.

But if you want the army to be prohibited and commanded like an arm, you need to "set up the army, set the ranks, and be vertical and horizontal", and this is the prototype of the battle formation.

Smart generals have their own battle formations, which play a huge role and can effectively exert combat effectiveness and cohesion. If they cooperate well, they can defeat the enemy several times.

The reason why Champion Hou was named "Champion Hou" is because he leads troops like a god, and he is proficient in countless battle formations, especially the "ten formations", which are square formation, circular formation, sparse formation, number formation, conical formation, and wild goose formation. Shaped formation, hook-shaped formation, Xuanxiang formation, water formation, fire formation.

Han Xin is honored as the god of soldiers, he uses soldiers like a god, and he is the kind of person who is rewarded by God for his food. Some generals are proficient in fighting by relying on accumulated experience, but like Han Xin, they rely on talent and intelligence. .

So when he heard that Han Xin was fiddling with formations, Xiao Rui immediately became interested and immediately asked.

Tian Boyuan said: "Now Han Xin keeps his hands on the book. He has the art of war in his hands wherever he goes. He respects the champion. He heard that the champion is proficient in ten formations. He said that he dare not go beyond, so he wants to study the nine sets of formations he is good at. Your Highness can do it. Ask Zifang in detail, Han Xin stationed troops in Tibet West County, so if you have nothing to do, go to Zifang to discuss the art of war."

Xiao Rui looked at Zhang Liang, his strategizing collided with Han Xin's ecstasy leading the troops, and there was no thunder and earth fire.

Zhang Liang said humbly: "This minister is just an assistant, offering some suggestions. Han Xin hopes to realize the nine formations in his lifetime, and now he has deduced the first three formations, which are the one-word long snake formation, the two dragons emerging from the water formation, and the heaven and earth three talents formation!"

Xiao Rui doesn't know how to form troops, but he was also a keyboard warrior who was proficient in keyboards in his previous life, so he still knows the mystery of these three sets of formations.

When the one-word long snake formation is running, it is like a giant python attacking fiercely. If you don't know how to decipher it, attack its snake head, the tail of the long snake formation will swing, and use the scroll formula to instantly get involved in the formation and be wiped out.If you attack the tail of the snake, the head of the long snake array will move, and you will use the biting formula to bite the enemy with one bite, it will be sour and refreshing.And if the snake body of the Long Snake Formation is allowed to slam into each other, and the end to end is combined, it is a twisting formula, and it is easy to be strangled.

Although the one-word long snake array is fierce, there is also a way to break it, just grab its head, pinch its tail, and chop its waist!This array is self-defeating!

But then I will talk about Han Xin's greatness.

He must study the nine sets of formations, of course, these nine sets of formations are not used alone, but have the meaning of interlocking.

If the enemy is proficient in breaking the formation and attacks the head or the tail of the long snake formation in an attempt to break the formation, Han Xin can directly change the formation and turn the other end to form a two-dragon out-of-water formation.

And the snake in the middle moves forward, and the whole long snake is broken into parts, forming a formation of three talents of heaven and earth.

As for the formation of the three talents of heaven and earth, there are naturally many changes, which are intertwined, making the enemy overwhelmed and strangled in the formation!

So the long snake array is just the beginning, not the end at all.

Xiao Rui said with emotion: "Let him practice hard. I heard that the Qin army is brave and invincible. When the two countries confront each other, I want to see if they are stronger or our Daxia army is fierce! Tell Han Xin when you go back. To fight against Qin, I ordered him to be the striker!"

Tian Boyuan nodded, cupped his hands and said: "I obey my orders. If Han Xin hears this news, he will be very happy."

Xiao Rui smiled, and finally asked: "Master Hou, is there any difficulty? You can bring it up as much as you want! Or tell me as soon as possible!"

If you want a horse to run fast, you must feed the horse grass.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "Your Highness, there are no difficulties or requirements for the humble officers and soldiers. The imperial court has given us a lot of military merits and rewards, and defending our family and the country. This is what a Da Xia Erlang should do!"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, Marquis Chang Sheng took his leave first and went to sit with His Majesty, only Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang were left in the hall.

"Zifang, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Rui said sincerely.

Zhang Liang replied: "This is what subordinates should do, Your Highness must not say so."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I already know the situation in Anxi Province, you don't need to say any more, let's talk about other things, Feng Xiao went to Yuan Kingdom, and just came back two days ago. , met Temujin. If you want to mess up the Yuan Dynasty, you must first let Temujin sit on the position of the Mongolian leader. Although Temujin is the most important grandson of the Mongolian leader, Temujin wants to sit on the leader It's not easy to be in the position, those uncles are watching, what happened to the chamber of commerce prepared by Xiao He and Shen Wansan?"

Zhang Liang replied: "It's ready. The identity of the Chamber of Commerce is clean. Even if Temujin wants to investigate, he can't find any problems. He can start trading at any time. What Temujin needs most now is food. He uses cattle, sheep and horses You can expand your power by calling for food. This year, the grasslands are also subject to changeable natural disasters, which have a greater impact on the grassland people who live on animal husbandry. I heard that many small tribes have not been annexed, and they will perish by themselves. Therefore, the attachment to the big tribes has It has become the norm. The Mongols are one of the five major tribes of the Yuan Kingdom, but compared with the tribe where the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom belongs, there is still a big difference."
