Emperor Chu raised his hand and slapped the memorial on the wooden case in front of him with an angry look on his face. This memorial completely disrupted his plan, but he was also full of doubts in his heart.
Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen, and Guo Jia looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what Emperor Chu meant by what he just said, but they had already guessed that the Mongolian army should be attacking Huangsha City.
Zhang Liang stepped forward and took down the memorial from the wooden case. The other three people gathered around and looked at the contents of the memorial. They were all shocked.
"The Mongolian army suddenly gave up attacking the Northern Wei and Yuanfeng, and turned its troops to attack Wuchu. There must be another mystery behind this."
Zhang Liang murmured to himself while holding the memorial, and Guo Jia and the others were a little confused. At this time, Emperor Chu's strong and firm voice sounded.
"What's wrong with Temujin? Since he has taken the initiative, I will seize the Mongol Empire first. If his majesty is not destroyed, I really think that I can humiliate him casually."
"Anyone who dares to offend me and Chu will be punished no matter how strong he is. This time I will tell the world through the Mongol Empire that this sentence is not a slogan."
Liu Bei mentioned in the memorial that the Mongolian cavalry came well prepared and launched dozens of attacks on Huangsha City. The city that was about to be completed was already in ruins, and it was feared that Hangzhou Huangsha City would be breached before long.
"Your Majesty, it is strange at this time. The appearance of the Mongolian army is too strange. If Temujin wants to attack Chu, he will not delay it for three months."
"Yes, the emperor's ministers always felt that this matter was related to the envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty who came to meet the emperor in the past. The emperor refused to form an alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but when the envoys left, they did not feel nervous or worried at all. On the contrary, they were
He looked very confident.”
Guo Jia spoke up, and Emperor Chu finally realized whether Jia Xu's reputation as a poisonous person was really behind the scenes.
But Jia Xu alone can make millions of Mongolian troops turn around and give up attacking the Northern Wei Empire. This is simply unbelievable. Is the power of one person really so terrifying?
"No matter why Temujin attacked Wuchu, since he is here, I will compete with him."
"What is the hegemon of the world capable of!"
Emperor Chu turned around and his eyes stayed on the map. His eyes flickered, thoughts racing in his mind. After a while, he turned around and motioned for the four people to come forward.
"Zifang, Fengxiao, you see, the city closest to the Mongolian Empire is Beihan King City. Crossing the Guna River, you can directly penetrate into the heart of the Mongolian Empire. At this time, the Mongolian army is gathered here. Our army can divide into two groups to attack from the front and back. This way
Not only can we defeat the Mongolian army, but we can also completely destroy his lair."
Emperor Chu put his finger on the map, and the voice of inquiry rang out. The four of them looked at the lines on the map, and their expressions could not help but be a little solemn.
"Your Majesty, the Guna River is winding and winding. The army has gone deep alone and the geographical environment is unfamiliar. It will probably take at least two months to cross the Guna River. The pressure on the generals facing the enemy head-on will be too great."
"It's better to make a desperate move and set up an ambush around Huangsha City to kill the Mongolian army here."
"I don't agree with Lord Fang's words. Within Huangsha City is Jiangling City, followed by Laoling City. The two cities have already been impregnable after being renovated."
"Most of the Mongolian army is cavalry, good at long-distance raids and blitzkrieg, but attacking cities and plundering territory is not their strong point. Even if Huangsha City is lost, the two cities of Jiangling and Leling are enough to withstand them for two months. Wait for me
Breaking through the Guna River and attacking the rear of the Mongolian army will definitely catch them off guard, so the chance of victory will be greater."
Zhang Liang once stayed in Jiangling City and knew the situation there very well. He had information that the Chu generals could guard the two cities for several months without losing anything.
"My lords, there is no need to worry. The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and victory or defeat can only happen in a blink of an eye. I am confident that I can annihilate the Mongolian army across the board."
"Generals Huo Qubing and Yue Fei have experience in entering the grassland. Together with the soldiers under the command of Northern Han King Shan Li, crossing the Guna River will not be difficult for them at all."
Emperor Chu's firm voice sounded, he glanced sideways at Xiao Guizi, and said: "It is said that all the generals in the capital have entered the palace, and I will personally deploy them. This battle will severely defeat the Mongolian Empire, and let them know that my and Chu's record of constant victory is not a legend, but
It’s a true myth.”
Xiao Guizi took the order and left, but before he could burn the incense, he left and returned, with a travel-worn messenger behind him.
Royal study room.
Xiao Guizi asked the messengers to wait outside the palace and hurriedly entered the palace. His whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost. It was such an eventful time. After a short period of calm, it was indeed a storm, because what he wanted to tell Emperor Chu next was something
Shocking news.
The Emperor of Chu was discussing the matter of grain and grass with four people when he suddenly saw Xiao Guizi arriving. He was in a hurry and was not as calm as before.
"Your Majesty, soldiers from Yongjiang City have arrived in the capital. They have something important to report and are waiting outside the palace."
"Yongjiang City, what can Kong Ming report?"
"Let him enter the palace!"
Emperor Chu was thinking in his mind and said loudly. After a while, a messenger came in from outside the palace, knelt down and saluted, with a look of fear on his face and a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, the cities along the coast were attacked by the Fusang Empire. Many people were killed and injured, and countless money was plundered. Lord Zhuge asked the general to return to the capital, hoping that the Emperor would send troops for reinforcements."
"The Fuso Empire launched a sneak attack on the cities along the coast, and they were the first to attack."
"How foolish it is to shake Mount Tai with the power of ants. If the Fusang Empire was really powerful, they would not harass us. They would definitely be the sword of Wu Chu, and they would march to the city."
Emperor Chu had a sneer on his face and a contemptuous voice. He thought it was very ridiculous for the Fusang Empire to harass the coastal cities. Based on his understanding of the Fusang Empire, they were very ambitious. Harassing and plundering was not their purpose at all. They were just testing Chu's military strength.
The ministers did not expect that Mongolia and Fusang would send troops at the same time, and the situation became tense. The Mongol Empire alone was already a headache.
"Kong Ming, Zifang, and Bowen, you have all proposed to recuperate and recuperate. I have no intention of fighting, but the countries are pressing forward step by step. Since the world is so bloody, it doesn't matter."
“How can we live a peaceful life if we cannot dominate the world?”
Emperor Chu's eyes were stern, he sat down in front of the wooden case with his sleeves fluffed, and the majestic voice sounded again.
"My decision has been made. The navy and land forces will march forward together to destroy Fusang and drive away Mongolia from now on."
............
At dusk.
On the long steps of the majestic Chu Palace, the generals, dressed in military uniforms, strode towards the end of the steps. Upon receiving the Chu Emperor's order, they did not hesitate for a moment.
Enter the imperial study room.
The cold breath made their expressions freeze. The generals had not seen Emperor Chu looking so serious for a long time. They had already learned about Mongolia and Fusang's use of troops on the way here, but the current situation seemed to be more serious than they imagined.
"I will finally meet the Emperor!"
Dozens of people knelt down and saluted, and the sound of clashing military uniforms spread, breaking the tranquility of the imperial study. Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal them to get up.
"The war ahead is tense, so I won't say more."
"Su Lie, General Chu Ya listens to the order and orders you two to lead the Zhanhu Corps to Huangsha City."
"Generals Dian Wei, Song Wuque, and Wang Yanzhang will lead their legions to Huangsha City!"
"Ma Chao, General Qiu Feng will lead the Suzaku Army and the Turtle Back Army, and Dugu Fa will lead the Chifeng Battalion. You and the other three will go to the Prince of Beihan's Mansion."
"Generals Yang Dayan, Zhang Fei, Sun Shangxiang, Hua Mulan, Qin Liangyu, and Shan Xiongxin will lead their generals to Yongjiang City."
"The four generals Huang Zhong, Qu Yi, Gao Shun, and Yang Zaixing led their soldiers to the coastal cities, defeated the enemy soldiers of the Fusang Empire, and went to Yongjiang City to join Zhuge's military advisor."
Finished.
Emperor Chu suddenly stood up, walked down from the wooden case, handed the two imperial edicts in his hands to Dugu Fa and Chu Ya, and asked them to hand over the imperial edicts to Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang respectively.
The generals received their orders, and the Emperor of Chu asked them to go down and prepare, leaving the imperial capital at dusk tomorrow and heading to other places.
.............
It was the end of autumn, the cool breeze was bone-chilling, dusk was approaching, and the glow was all over the fields. The only thing that could be heard was the crowing and long neighing of the horses under the Roaring Tiger City.
The generals bid farewell to the Emperor of Chu outside the city, and the 600,000-strong army put on armor and left with a mammoth and earth-shattering momentum. Looking at the smoke of the wolf in the distance, they leaped on their horses and whipped their whips.
In the billowing smoke and dust, the army divided into four groups and dispersed on the official road. Emperor Chu, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen stood on the city.
The cool breeze was blowing gently, and the clothes were fluttering, and a sad voice sounded: "Six hundred thousand men rushed to the battlefield, how many of them can make great achievements in battle, and how many of them are buried in a foreign land?"
When Emperor Chu said these words, he suddenly felt a little desolate. When did he become so sentimental? Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing the emotions between life and death.
"Your Majesty, in this battle, the navy and the army are fighting at the same time, fighting Mongolia and Fusang with the power of one country. I am afraid that only my emperor can do such a crazy thing."
Zhang Liang thought he understood Emperor Chu's thoughts better, but sometimes he couldn't see clearly what the emperor was thinking, just like at this moment.
"crazy?"
"I don't think it's crazy at all, because crazy things are yet to come!"
With a deceitful smile on his face, Emperor Chu looked at the setting sun in the distance and walked towards the city with his sleeves fluffed.
Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen were both stunned. They didn't know the meaning of Emperor Chu's last words, so they murmured to themselves.
"Not crazy?"
Seeing Emperor Chu walking away, the two men waved their sleeves and chased after him. The three figures disappeared into the early night. At this time, the Tiger Roaring Capital was still bustling with activity, and the flames of war that had been raging had no impact on the place. (To be completed.)
