Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

Great Chu Empire.

The news of Dong Aolai's defeat soon spread throughout Chu State like wind.

For a moment, the people of Chu State were in panic, fearing that Yan State would send a large army to invade Chu State, occupy the city, burn, kill, loot and wreak havoc.

Inside the Qiankun Palace.

The empress Chu Xuanji sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and asked coldly: "What happened? Why was my Chu Empire defeated so completely? Didn't General Dong take down Huangmu City and was marching towards Dadi City? Launch an attack? And... I also supported him with 10 soldiers and horses! Those are 10 soldiers and horses, not 10 steamed buns!"

General Guo Xuzhi stood up with a gloomy expression and said: "The enemy's attack is too fierce! Our army is unable to resist! Moreover, the enemy's army is mixed with thousands of swordsmanship masters! These people are all fighting one against a hundred. Facing these Guys, we can’t resist at all!”

"Thousands of swordsmen? I have 19 soldiers and horses, but I can't defeat a few thousand swordsmen? Do you think I have no common sense? Don't I understand swordsmanship?" Chu Xuanji asked coldly.

Guo Xuzhi shook his head and said: "General, I have no intention of offending Your Majesty! In addition to these thousands of swordsmen, the other cavalry of the Yan army are also brave and good at fighting. At first glance, the weakest one has the combat power of one against ten! These The fighting power of the people is too terrifying, suppressing the morale of our army, and... the enemy's armed forces are elite..."

Speaking of this, Guo Xunzhi's eyes revealed a look of horror.

"According to...according to my general, all the enemy's cavalry are equipped with bows and arrows that can fire continuously. The arrows of these bows and arrows are all made of...rare iron! The penetrating power is extremely powerful!"

Guo Xuzhi said truthfully.

Are the enemy's arrows made of iron?

Whoa! !

As soon as Guo Xunzhi said these words, all the civil and military ministers present were shocked and stunned.

They all know what the iron is.

This thing has reached more than 90% steel through layers of refining.

The higher the purity of the steel, the stronger the texture and the sharper the weapons it creates.

Iron is very rare, and not everyone can refine it.

Now let’s not talk about whether this thing can be refined. The Chu State alone cannot provide iron tools, let alone iron!

This is why everyone present was shocked.

All the enemy's arrows were made of iron. This level of luxury was far beyond what Chu could match.

The empress fell into silence.

"And... as far as I know... the elite troops sent by Yan State are not from the imperial court..."

"Oh? If it doesn't come from the imperial court, where else could it come from? The Yan Kingdom has almost lost all its troops! Do you want to tell me that this army was born out of thin air?" the empress asked coldly.

"No...this is from Gangjin City...it can also be said that they are soldiers and horses from the wilderness..." Guo Xunzhi said.

"Gangjin City... a barbaric land?"

A figure suddenly flashed into the empress's mind - Young Master Yan, who was exiled to the border.

That Yan Yun who pretends to be stupid all the time.

Yan Yun took over the wilderness and became the king of the wilderness. It has been known to the Yan and Zhao countries.

It is no longer a secret.

The two countries adhered to the rules and did not interfere in the struggle for hegemony in the wilderness.

In their view, this is a land of demons.

Both countries sent criminals here.

No matter who becomes the king inside, it has nothing to do with them, as long as the people inside don't hinder their acquisition of iron ore.

"Are you talking about Yan Yun, the third young master of Yan?" Chu Xuanji asked.

"Your Majesty is right! News came from the army that the addition of Yanyun's army has changed the situation abruptly! Not only did they defend Dadi City, they also attacked Huangmu City and stormed Huxiao Pass!" Guo Xunzhi said truthfully.

"Third Young Master Yan...Yan Yun!"

After Chu Xuanji pondered for a while, she remembered something and couldn't help but ask: "My dear friends, if you think... Yan Yun's wings are full, will you choose to send troops to attack Yanhuang City to avenge your father and brother?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Prime Minister Zhu En stood up and said: "If I were the third son of Yan, I would definitely send troops to attack Yanhuang City! Moreover... Yan Yun's father is the prince, which is orthodox... So... Yan Yun will not only attack Yanhuang City, Maybe he will even take over...the throne!"

"So... the Yan Empire is going to be in panic again!" the empress asked with a glare.

"Not bad!" June said.

"General Guo...how many troops do we have in Chu now?" Chu Xuanji turned her eyes to Guo Xunzhi.

Guo Xunzhi asked blankly: "Your Majesty, do you want to...continue to attack the Yan Kingdom?"

"That's right! Our country of Chu has lost so many soldiers and horses, how can we just let it go? I won't accept it!" Chu Xuanji said.

郭逊之想都不想就说道：“西部楚魏边疆，拥有30万大军、南部海域镇守兵马30万、西北区域蛮荒关拥有10万兵马！猛虎城尚有5万！全部加起来拥有75万兵马！”

"75 soldiers and horses?"

Chu Xuanji thought for a while and then said: "That's it, we immediately mobilized 15 soldiers and horses from the Chu-Wei border and the Nanhai border, and then transferred 5 soldiers and horses from Manhuang Pass. The total of such a large army is 35! This battle, I want to retake Huxiao Pass and Huangmu City! I wonder if General Guo can take office?"

"Ah...this...your majesty, the soldiers and horses on the border of Chu and Wei must never dare to retreat! The Wei Kingdom has been eyeing it for many years! If it learns that our army is withdrawing, it will definitely mobilize troops to kill!" Guo Xunzhi said with a glare. .

"Then what else do you think you can do?" Chu Xuanji asked coldly.

Guo Xunzhi stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Recruit soldiers!"

"Currently, my Chu Empire is recruiting troops! But most of these soldiers are new recruits, so we can't rush into the battlefield! Otherwise, even if you go, you will die! So... everything must follow my arrangements. As for the Chu and Wei border areas, new soldiers can be allowed to go. Defend! During the defense period, you can train day and night! This will not delay the attack on Huxiao Pass, nor weaken the troops on the Chu and Wei border!"

Chu Xuanji was extremely smart and used the idea of ​​​​substituting advantages and disadvantages to make up for the shortage of soldiers and horses on the Chu-Wei border.

Guo Xuzhi frowned.

It's not that he doesn't want to lead an army to attack Huxiao Pass, it's that he doesn't dare!

The State of Yan always produces miracles with great force.

Previously, Zhao Lie took command and went out to take back Shanjian City and capture Yanzhao Pass.

Later, Yan Yun made a strong attack and took back Huangmu City and Huxiao Pass. Although he did not send troops to attack Tiger City, who knows what they were thinking.

Although Yan Yun may attack Yanhuang City, who knows when exactly it will happen.

"His Majesty……"

Guo Xunzhi thought over and over again and said: "It is not appropriate for our army to go on another expedition now. After repeated battles, the troops and horses are exhausted. If we go out again, I am afraid that the army will mutiny!"
