In the capital of Ying, Chu State, across the Yang River, Ling Yin Douhuang looked solemnly at the Han army on the other side of the river practicing as scheduled.
Unlike the mausoleum divisions of the Chu State, the Han army went out for training every three days. This kind of high-intensity training made Dou Huang feel that the Han army would soon rebel against Li Jie.
But every time he thinks about it now, it always comes to the opposite.
The Han army can now conduct drills every three days, which means that the Han army can conduct drills every day!
No matter what is possible or impossible, Dou Huang is now thinking about Li Jie in the direction of a "god-man". Maybe Li Jie is a god descending to earth?
Just think that he is really "ordained by heaven"!
"Shangyin, Shangyong, Jiuyi, Jingshan..."
"Jingshan also wants to raise troops to rebel against Chu?"
"In the current situation, please ask Yin Zao to make plans."
"What are the Queen Mother's orders?"
Dou Huang is not panicking. Even if we include the three new rebels Shangyong, Jiuyi and Jingshan, there are already eighteen strong rebels, but this does not make Dou Huang feel that there is anything big.
question.
Every one of these rebels is trash and worthless.
Compared with the Eighteenth Route Army rebels, how to stabilize the situation in Hanxi is more important.
There is still a population in Yingdu, and with the labor tools provided by Li Jie, it will not be a problem to resume production. As for the 18th Route rebels, they will have to rack their brains how to survive this winter.
As expected, they will all be plundered for the winter.
But as long as the Chu army plunders and counterattacks, it will be easier to regain the "lost ground".
Whatever is in the right position is right or wrong. Once the strength is reached, no matter how wrong it is, it will still be right.
"The Queen Mother wants to defend the enemy in Zhangshui and Lujiang."
"Lujiang?"
The rebel forces in Eastern Han Dynasty are not the turn of Emperor Dou to ponder. That is Li Jie's business. As long as the army sweeps away and fights hard two or three times, it will be hundreds of miles away, and there is no opponent at all.
But the "rebels" in Hanxi still had to rely on the hills of Yingdu.
Shantou doesn't even have this strength and is not worthy of Li Jie's support.
The Lujiang River in Chu State is not the Lujiang River that Li Jie knew. This Lujiang River is in the hometown of Deng State, north of the Lujiang River, and was originally the territory of Deng State.
Later, with the expansion of the Chu State, it became a natural process of history.
The Lujiang River is at the confluence of the Han River. Crossing the river all the way to the east is the territory of Sui State. The junction of Chu and Sui is also a mountain. To the north is the Tang State, and the dividing line between the northern part of the Chu State and the Tang State is Tongbai Mountain.
The source of the Huai River in Tongbai Mountain is the southern starting point of Chu State’s Fangcheng defense system.
From a defensive point of view, there is no problem with Chu's layered defense. If the Lujiang River is defended, the original Dengguo section of the Han River can be easily recovered.
As long as it can be controlled to this point, it is thousands of miles deep. In this way, even if there are any rebels in the North, as long as they find that the Central Army is still capable of controlling it to this point, they will never openly challenge them, let alone talk about rebellion. King Qin
.
Although the Empress Dowager Zhao was prostituted by Li Jiebai for several months, she was really not a fool. There was no way a stupid woman could bring her son to the throne and still sit firmly on the throne.
What's more, she is still a foreign girl, and she has no foundation at all within the Chu State.
"In terms of military strength, Yingdu, Dangyang, Neifangshan, Lantian, and Shangbo can raise 60,000 to 70,000 regular troops. There is no difficulty in reorganizing the Ling division. But who should be the leading general?"
Dou Huang frowned slightly, the three armies of the Chu Kingdom's mausoleum division collapsed, and the chaotic armed forces were all rookies.
If Li Jie doesn't personally intervene, it will just be pure novices pecking each other.
But even if they are novices pecking each other, there are still differences between big and small, strong and weak.
"The Queen Mother intends to use Han people as generals."
"There is nothing wrong with the Han taking advantage of Chu. However, now that Han is strong and Chu is weak, if the Han deliberately use mediocrity to block it, it will only increase the decline of Chu."
"Shang Yin, when I came to Yingdu, there was a rumor that he was the Sha Zhongha who could kill a man in ten steps."
"Sha Zhongha is a fierce general of the Han army. He destroyed Shu Long, conquered the Yihu, and even wiped out all the Shu and made the Chao clan surrender. Such a talented person, the Han people will not let his reputation be damaged. So... very good."
If someone were randomly thrown over, Dou Huang would really have to be prepared with both hands, but Empress Dowager Zhao would be much more at ease when she uses a Han general, or a strong general like Shaha.
What the novices fight for is courage and fighting spirit. Sha Zhongha is a savage. In the eyes of Dou Huang, a savage who can shout "Seniors can be killed and not humiliated" is definitely extraordinary.
"There are many brave generals in the Han army, but Sha Zhonghawei has an extraordinary reputation. If we can win over them, it will be beneficial to the Chu country."
"What you said makes sense, but it also illustrates one thing." Emperor Dou's eyes were cold, looking in the direction of Zhu Palace in the south, "A man will definitely not stay in the Chu Kingdom. There must be a stronger enemy that forces him to personally
Go to host."
"Shang Yin means... Gusu?"
"It may not only be Gusu, but also Qi, Lu, Wu and Yue. We must all attack Huaizhong City together."
If this happens, Dou Huang will definitely be moved. The newly declared Hanzi Kingdom may be besieged at any time.
Because there is really a lot of fertile land on both sides of the Huai River these days. It was only the chaos among the countries in the past, coupled with the struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, and Wu and Chu, that led to the degeneration of both sides of the Huai River.
However, the ability to transform nature displayed during the Huaishui Bofu period completely shocked the countries in the Central Plains. The nobles were not fools and naturally understood how terrifying this ability to transform was.
With Li Jie's team's recovery ability, the amount of work done by others in ten or twenty years may be the amount of work in Huaizhong City in one year.
In addition, a large number of off-duty armed personnel have appeared in Huaizhong City. The suddenness and flexibility of the war will definitely leave the Central Plains countries behind by a large margin.
What Dou Huang can understand, the elites of the Central Plains countries can naturally understand too.
It's just that some people choose to cooperate, and some people choose to fight. It just depends on the trade-off.
For example, the former Huaguo doctor Ji was half public-minded and half selfish. He defected to Li Jie not only to find a way out for his family, but also to avenge the hatred of his country and his family.
Another example is that the king of Yuan Biyang State forced Yangzi Yubao to simply eliminate the domestic attachments and then moved his family southward.
This kind of courage and determination is unimaginable to others. Only the person involved can deeply understand how much courage and determination it takes to let go of power and status.
"Shang Yin, if the state of Wu calls on the princes to attack the state of Han, our state of Chu..."
"To be honest." Dou Huang sighed, "If the Han Dynasty is really in the critical situation of Yingdu at this time, with the smoke and dust billowing on the 18th Road, and those who want to get rid of the heirs, I will be very excited, and I will take this opportunity to restore our Hedong.
country."
After saying this, Dou Huang sighed, "It's just that I know very well that you must not underestimate the Li family of Yinxiang at any time. The calculations of our generation are just human calculations, how can it be as good as God's calculations?"
"this……"
When the staff saw their superior's appearance, they were speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer this question.
But I have to admit that Douhuang has really gone through too much, especially the rise of Li Jie in recent years. Except for the similar situation when the Jin Dynasty made a fortune, no decent case can be found.
If we look at Li Jie's background, he is really unprecedented. As for whether there is anyone who will come, it's hard for the Chu State Magistrate to say.
"If the Queen Mother uses Han general Sha Zhongha, we will give her full support."
"Shang Yin thinks that if the princes jointly attack the Han Dynasty, they will never succeed?"
"I can no longer take risks. Chu State, Dou Clan... life and death are at stake."
When the Dou clan was mentioned, Dou Huang's expression became a little more solemn. The detailed work at the third level had already sent the news back that Dou Zun, an old guy, had actually sued for peace with Shang Wuji.
What are the conditions for peace? Dou Huang didn't even bother to think about it. With the appetite of the Han Dynasty, ordinary delaying tactics are useless. There is no negotiation but no negotiation. Fight when you can negotiate, and fight when you can't negotiate.
Originally, Dou Huang wanted to force Dou Zun to surrender to the Dou clan in his rightful city, and then re-merged the two Dou clans.
As a result, within the Chu State during the recovery period, the overall Dou clan may be worse than before, but similarly, the Chu State is even worse than before.
Therefore, comparing the two, under such circumstances, the Dou family will truly become a super family that dominates the entire Chu Kingdom.
The current situation can only make Dou Huang act more cautiously.
