The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"I have heard of it, but I don't understand it!"

"Sir too!"

Many ministers responded one after another. Obviously, the ministers above the court had only heard of Xiang Xin's name, but did not know Xiang Xin.

Xiong Nai couldn't help thinking when he got the reply from the ministers, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't wait to say to an eunuch: "Go and send Xiang Xin to the palace immediately, I want to see him!"

"Ah?" Xiang Tao was taken aback for a moment, and said dumbly, "Your Majesty, is this too urgent? Why don't I take him into the palace to see Your Majesty at night?"

"What time is it now? Don't be in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry. Qin Jun is about to hit Shouchun. Hurry up, I will see him soon!" Xiong Nai said without thinking.

Not long after, an eunuch hurriedly left Taicang Palace and summoned Xiang Xin.

And the monarchs and ministers in the palace did not wait for Xiang Xin. After Xiong Nai ordered people to summon Xiang Xin, he continued to ask the officials: "Is there anyone who recommends or recommends himself? Now there are still two generals and six generals." Candidates for left and right generals!"

Although Xiong Nai was very interested in Xiang Xin, he didn't leave Xiang Xin a position as a general. After all, what kind of ability Xiang Xin has, he had to see him to be sure, and he couldn't just rely on what other people said.

After Xiong Nai's voice fell, a powerful military officer stood out from the queue, saluted Xiong Nai's sonorous and forceful editor with a solemn expression, "I recommend myself as a general along the way!"

The name of this military officer is Zhao Canglie. His martial arts realm has reached perfection. He is a third-rank heroic general. However, before leaving the country, he was transferred back by Xiong Nai's order.

At that time, he was suffocated. After all, he spent a lot of time sorting out the strategic plan and preparing to go all out, but he was told not to fight. It was like punching cotton hard, wasting effort.

Therefore, he will not let go of this opportunity to attack Qin this time.

"The minister also recommends himself as the general!" Another military officer stepped out of the queue to recommend himself.

This military officer is called Zhang Langzhi. He is 48 years old this year. He is an official of the Northern Great General of Zhengsanpin Township. Zhang Langzhi is ordinary in appearance and not outstanding in stature, but his record is very outstanding. He was the one who commanded the Chu-Xia War. Later, he fought a tie with Xia Jun, but that battle also resulted in many brilliant achievements.

His martial arts realm has also reached half a step of perfection, and he is only half a step away from being among the list of perfection!

Seeing that both Zhao Canglie and Zhang Langzhi came forward to recommend themselves, Xiong Nai was even satisfied, because neither of these two great generals was timid.

"Zhao Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing are both the pillars of our Great Chu. I am very relieved to have them as the generals. What do you Aiqing think?" Xiong Nai said, looking at the ministers.

"The minister is no different!" Prime Minister Du Tang agreed.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

All the ministers stood up and agreed with each other, holding great approval for Zhao Canglie and Zhang Langzhi!

Xiong Nai nodded, "In this case, the candidates for the generals on the third route have been decided. Xiang Aiqing, Zhao Aiqing, and Zhang Aiqing each have the position of generals along the way. They will sweep the Qin Dynasty for me, and show the prestige of the great Chu country!"

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers bent down and shouted in unison!

Xiong Nai continued: "There are still about six general candidates!"

"I recommend myself!"

"I recommend myself!"

After Xiong Nai finished speaking, five military officers came forward to recommend him immediately. The five military officers were named: Gu Qing, Song Jun, Zhang Tong, Wang Kong, and Pang Zhen!

Gu Qing is 38 years old this year, and his official worship is from the sixth-rank General An Dong.

Song Jun is 41 years old this year, and his official worship is the fifth-rank Pojun general.

Zhang Tong and Wang Kong are the same age, 39 years old this year, the former is officially worshiped by the sixth-rank General Anxi, and the latter is officially worshiped by the sixth-rank General Anbei.

Pang Zhen is 34 years old this year, and he is a fifth-rank tiger general.

ps: "The ghost weather in Jiangxi is too cold. I shiver when I turn on the air conditioner, and my clothes don't work. It really depends on the will to fight the cold in the south. It's really cold!"

Chapter 993 Xiang Xin!

Pang Zhen was the youngest of the five, and they were all peak masters. They were not generals on paper, but generals who had been on the battlefield and had war experience.

In terms of military strength, Great Chu is still very powerful, second only to the extinct Zhao Dynasty!

Seeing the five military officers standing up, Xiong Nai immediately asked, "Is there anyone else who recommends himself?"

up no answer

The ministers present are not fools. Xiang Tao and Jing Heng, the old generals, praised the Xiang letter. The generals of the six majors must have a copy of the Xiang letter. .

"In this case, let's count the five of you!"

Seeing that no one continued to recommend and recommend himself, Xiong Nai decided on the name.

Gu Qing and the other five people were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately bent their knees together, bowed their knees and said thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Pingshen!" Xiong Naixu raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Qing and the other five kowtowed to express their gratitude, then quickly got up from the ground and retreated to their seats.

Tread

Just when Gu Qing and the other five returned to their seats, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, the civil servants in the hall and Xiong Nai subconsciously looked up, only to see the eunuch that Xiong Nai sent just now turned back.

The eunuch trotted all the way to the center of the hall, bowed to Xiong Nai respectfully, and said: "His Majesty, Captain Xiang Xin is waiting to be announced outside the hall. Will His Majesty summon you?"

After the words fell, all the ministers cheered up, with curious expressions on their faces, and Xiong Nai also said in anticipation: "What are you waiting for, Xuan!"

"Obey!" The eunuch leaned over and responded, then turned to face the outside of the hall, and shouted in a sharp duck voice: "Your Majesty has an order, Xuan Xiang Xin will see you!"

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce Xiang Xin's audience with Captain Xiang!"

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce Xiang Xin's audience with Captain Xiang!"

The eunuchs outside the palace spread rumors and shouted loudly!

About a dozen breaths later, a majestic figure appeared in front of the gate of the Taicang Palace. This figure was seven feet tall and strong. He couldn't help but hold his breath, quietly watching this figure.

With this figure stepping into the hall, all the civil and military officials in the hall could see the appearance of the visitor clearly. The visitor's facial features were three-dimensional, and his face was cut with a knife. With the majesty of overlooking all living beings!

For some reason, some shrewd ministers actually caught the looming majesty of an emperor from a human being!

It was Xiang Xin who came, and when he walked to the center of the hall, he knelt down on one knee and worshiped with a stern expression: "Xiang Xin, captain of the 38th Army of the capital, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Xiong Nai narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at Xiang Xin's whole body with his sharp eyes. He found that Xiang Xin's heart was like a vast sea. It was the first time he met him, the great Chu emperor, and he was not at all nervous. And the mentality of not changing face.

It was this first sight that made Xiong Nai have a good impression of Xiang Xin.

"I won't talk nonsense, if I send you to attack Qin, how will you attack it?" Xiong Nai began to test Xiang Xin.

Hearing this, Xiang Xin said, neither humble nor overbearing: "Now the Qin Dynasty wiped out the three major dynasties of Zhao Xia and Qi with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. They will have pride and arrogance, and they will no longer pay attention to the formation. If they fight head-on, the winning rate is less than [-]%!"

"Only by surprise and attacking the unprepared, can the power of the Qin army be broken. Your Majesty asked the final general how to attack him, but the final general could not answer. The reason is that the battlefield fighters are unpredictable, and the use of troops also needs to be unpredictable. Before fighting the Qin army, The final general cannot answer the strategy and tactics used to defeat the Qin army, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Good answer!" Xiong Nai couldn't help but praise.

Seeing Xiong Nai's appreciation, Xiang Tao and Jing Heng couldn't help stroking their beards and smiling complacently, and the other ministers also nodded appreciatively.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Xiang Xin thanked him calmly.

"What do you Aiqing think of Xiang Xin?" Xiong Nai asked the officials.

"It can be of great use!" Prime Minister Du Tang made a salute.

"Seconded!"

"My minister agrees!"

Many ministers also expressed their opinions one after another, approving Xiang Xin.

call!

Xiong Nai took a deep breath and made his next decision, "Okay, then let Xiang Xin be the left general of the first line, and as for any line, let's be Xiang Aiqing's line!"

"I obey the order!" Xiang Tao replied respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiang Xin also thanked him!

Xiong Nai smiled, "Now that we have the Generalissimo of the Three Armies, the Generals of the Three Routes, and the Generals of the Six Majors, let's discuss the detailed battle plan!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

In the following time, the princes and ministers of Great Chu began to discuss the specific plan of dispatching troops. After an hour of discussion, they finally came out of the discussion.

The specific battle plan is as follows:

The top general Xiang Tao, the left general Xiang Xin, and the right general Gu Qing are the top army, responsible for attacking Zhangzhou County in Xiajing!

The top general Zhao Canglie, the left general Song Jun, and the right general Zhang Tong are the central army, responsible for attacking the west of Yangshan County in Xiajing!

The top general Zhang Langzhi, the left general Wang Kong, and the right general Pang Zhen are the lower army, responsible for attacking the central and eastern parts of Yangshan County in Xiajing!

The three armies each led [-] cavalry, [-] sword and shield soldiers, [-] crossbowmen, [-] pikemen, [-] siege equipment soldiers, and carried [-] catapults, [-] crossbow carts, and [-] impact vehicles. , Thirty large ladder siege vehicles!

Each army has 20 soldiers and horses, 390 siege equipment, and 50 shi of grain and various ordnance carried on the expedition.

The three armies add up to a total of 60 soldiers and horses. Once these 60 soldiers and horses go out, there will be 20 soldiers and horses left in Dachu to guard the house.

When the court meeting dissipated, the six ministries of the imperial court performed their respective duties. Those who dispatched troops dispatched troops, and those who allocated grain allocated food. Since the 80 troops that were planning to attack Qin in the longitudinal direction had not been far away, the court of Great Chu only took five days. , and assembled the soldiers, horses, money and food needed for this expedition.

That is, in the 28th year of Shengqin, on November 60, [-] Chu troops were divided into three armies and marched northward!

Also on this day, the Korean court is extremely dignified!

The Korean Dynasty, Yuzhou County, Yangzhai Imperial Capital, and the Imperial Palace!

In the Xuantian Palace located in the center of the palace, the Dahan civil and military officials on both sides looked extremely dignified, and each of them remained silent, making the atmosphere of the hall quite heavy.

"Emperor Qin really refused Dahan's request for peace?" Han Shen, who was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, asked Wang Kaijin who was standing in the center of the hall.

ps: "I don't know if it's because the weather is too cold or the author is too weak. Cold hands are hard, and it's useless to wear more clothes. Is this a problem of kidney deficiency? Anyone who understands the book can comment and leave a message!"

Chapter 994 Great Lu!

Wang Kaijin had just returned to the capital of Yangzhai. As soon as he came back, Han Shen called a group of ministers to go to the court to discuss matters and asked Wang Kaijin to announce the result of the mission in public. The result was not satisfactory.

Although Han Shen and Han Wenwu were ready to fight Qin to the death, they still hoped that the peace would be successful and war would be avoided. Therefore, many ministers and Han Shen were a little disappointed when they heard Wang Kaijin say the result.

While disappointed, I also feel heavy!

"That's right, Your Majesty, the Emperor Qin is very proud, and his desire to unify the Northwest is bound to be won. When I asked to see Emperor Qin for the first time, Emperor Qin still refused to see him. If I hadn't played a trick, I would have even conspired with Emperor Qin. I couldn’t even meet each other, but even if I did, I would return in vain, and I really deserve to die!” Wang Kaijin roughly explained the situation that day, and cleverly dissolved the words of “assisting the unification of the Great Qin” before the pass.

If it wasn't for not explaining clearly, Prime Minister Mengshe and General Han Pingding would take the opportunity to attack, and it would be too late to explain.

No, after Wang Kaijin said this, Mengshe and Han Ping were a little annoyed, because as soon as Wang Kaijin came back, Mengshe and Han Ping went to find the accompanying deputy envoys and entourages, and learned from them that Wang Kaijin had In order to ask to see Emperor Qin, he shouted the words of "assisting the unification of Qin Dynasty".

Originally, the two of them wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble in the court, but they still let Wang Kaijin clean himself up, so there was no reason to make trouble now.

Wang Kaijin is really treacherous.

When Han Shen heard Wang Kaijin's words, he couldn't help shouting: "Emperor Qin is rampant!"

Prime Minister Mengshe took a small step forward at the first moment, and saluted with a respectful expression: "My Majesty, the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness has been conveyed to all parts of the three western counties. So far, the population of one county has moved to Yuzhou. I believe it won't be long before the three western counties will become wasteland, and the Qin army won't get a single grain of rice!"

General Han Ping also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the cavalry, 30 troops have been distributed throughout Yuzhou County, and they can launch an ambush to resist Qin at any time!"

Han Shen nodded in satisfaction, "The two Aiqings have done a good job, and I am pleased with the efficiency of their work. How about this? After the dynasty is over, Han Aiqing will immediately go to the front to command the army to fight against Qin. Make a plan!"

"The minister receives the decree!" Han Ping and Wang Kaijin bowed down and saluted together.

The Han Dynasty has always been accompanied by the Ministry of War in every major war. This has been a rule since the founding of the country. This rule was established to facilitate the army to fight. It is precisely because of this rule that Wang Kaijin told Ying Chang that he could provide it as soon as possible. Korean military situation.

It was also because of this rule that Han Ping had to cooperate with Wang Kaijin even if he didn't like Wang Kaijin, who let him be the minister of the Ministry of War and had the right to command the war.

Prime Minister Mengshe might be a little worried about Wang Kaijin, but Mengshe stood up and volunteered, saying, "Your Majesty, I also want to go to the front line to assist the general in fighting!"

"Meng Aiqing can't go. When the population resources of the three western counties are integrated into Yuzhou, there will be a lot of things to deal with. There are so many things that I can't handle alone. Besides, there are already Han Aiqing and Wang Aiqing and the Ministry of War on the front line. Officials, big and small, why are you joining in the fun!" Han Shen refused Mengshe's request without hesitation.

"minister"

Han Shen suddenly interrupted: "Okay, don't go on talking, let's do it like this, retreat!"

After Han Shen finished speaking, he announced his resignation, and soon left Xuantian Palace. Mengshe was very helpless about this, but he could only accept the reality.

"Let's go, haha!" Wang Kaijin smiled triumphantly at Mengshe, and swaggered away from Xuantian Palace with his party members.

"Ugh!"

Mengshe sighed heavily, for some reason, he always felt that something bad was about to happen, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Let's go, Prime Minister!"

"it is good!"

After a period of time, all the ministers of Xuantian Temple left and went back to prepare for the fight against Qin.

It was a quarter of a hour that night!
