Chapter 1819 One Man Overwhelms a Country
"That's right."
Duan Ang said: "We have strictly selected from various border garrison and local garrison to ensure that every soldier is an absolute elite and loyal enough!"
"good!"
Emperor Long Jing said in a low voice: "I originally wanted Meng'er to lead this army, but he has already..."
Duan An agreed: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has outstanding military talents and is indeed the most suitable candidate."
Emperor Long Jing did not answer the call.
He said in a deep voice: "The new army will be designated as Huben, and Ren Yuwenxiong will be General Huben."
The two looked calm and were not surprised by this appointment.
Yu Wenxiong was born into a noble family and had a prominent family background. His father was Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu. This title was also passed down when Dakang was founded. His fiefdom was in the northeast, which was adjacent to the Zhenbei Palace.
He is very famous in Dakang. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has strange strength and infinite strength. He joined the army at the age of fifteen and served in the Zhenbei Army and other major border garrison. He has rich military experience and outstanding military exploits.
Later he was transferred to Shangjing and served as the commander of the city defense army.
After the crown prince was established, he had a new position and was added to the post of commander of the East Palace, receiving all the emperor's favor.
With a distinguished family background, strong personal abilities, and a bright future, he is indeed the right candidate.
Yu Wenxiong had served in the Zhenbei Army for three years and knew the Zhenbei Army very well...
"The Anbei Army also has 200,000 troops, and there are another 150,000 Tiger Guard troops. The total number is 350,000 troops."
Gao Lian said: "But there are still some shortcomings. The Zhenbei Army is too elite."
"Yes, there are still some shortcomings."
Emperor Longjing said: "There is an armistice and peace treaty with Wei and Liang, so the border garrison of Huaiyuan Prefecture can be mobilized."
"Um."
Duan Ang said: "After the war, the border defenders were replenished, adding up to 400,000 troops."
"If possible, there is no need to relocate in Huaizhou for the time being."
Gao Lian said: "Guan Wentong, the defender on the Huaizhou border, has a good relationship with the Zhenbei Palace and gets along very well with Guan Ning. I'm afraid something may change."
"Before the war started, in the name of the Governor's Office, I ordered Guan Wentong to return to Beijing to report on his duties."
Emperor Longjing said: "Generals who are close to Zhenbei Prince's Palace or have been favored by Guan Zhongshan will be treated in the same way. We can summon them to the capital and take care of them."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Gao Lian felt that His Majesty had now returned to the strategizing feeling he had in the past.
But why should we practice Taoism?
He looked at Emperor Long Jing's half-white hair and seemed to have some understanding.
Perhaps it is precisely because he is extremely conceited that he is unwilling to be limited by his time and destiny, so he pursues immortality in search of immortality...
"One more question."
Duan Ang said: "Such a large-scale military mobilization needs a reasonable name."
"In the name of summer military exercises."
Emperor Longjing said: "I will issue a decree. There have been many wars in Dakang in recent years. It is necessary to strengthen the combat capabilities of the army. It will be transferred to the north in batches to fight against the barbarians..."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Duan Ang couldn't help but sigh.
This name is simply perfect and fits the current situation.
When the Wei and Liang Kingdoms invaded, Dakang's army hurriedly faced the enemy and showed great shortcomings. The peace had been peaceful for too long, and except for the Zhenbei Army, which was often faced with war, the other garrison defenders had neglected training.
The reason for using barbarians to train troops and improve the army's combat effectiveness is reasonable, and it also reflects the court's determination to strengthen the army, which can actually reassure the people.
More importantly, this reason can be used to move the army to the north openly.
"If this is the case, our total army is nearly 800,000, not including the city defense army, imperial forest army, etc. in Beijing. This battle will definitely be won!"
Duan Ang's eyes flashed with excitement.
A few years ago, a few of them conspired to kill Guan Zhongshan using unconventional means.
Now it seems that history is repeating itself, and they are plotting against his son Guan Ning again. This time, they will use the most direct way to solve the problem, using war.
Emperor Long Jing also looked a little excited.
"For this war, I have used all the national power of Dakang and almost gambled on Dakang's national destiny, so I can only win but not lose!"
Emperor Longjing suddenly remembered.
When he first succeeded to the throne, Hanshan Temple outside the city was just a small temple, and the host at that time was not Daoxin, but a master named Kongji.
Master Kongji is good at numerology and often gives fortune-telling advice to others.
He then went to find him and asked him to give instructions for Dakang.
It is definitely not something ordinary people can do to issue orders for the country, especially when Master Kongji is already old and frail, and his life is approaching.
He then demanded forcefully, and if he didn't agree, he would kill all the monks of Hanshan Temple.
Kongji had no choice but to agree and gave him twelve words of instructions.
The country's collapse began with internal troubles, and good fortune began with the north.
Emperor Longjing believed deeply in these twelve words.
None of the previous dynasties, including Zuo Zuo, could live past the three hundred year mark. The Dakang Dynasty was already approaching this time limit. He rebelled and seized the throne. It cannot be said that he took the throne. The country perished before anything happened.
This also became a big worry for him.
There is nothing wrong with Master Kongji’s batch of orders.
At that time, Dakang was in its prosperous period, and it was impossible for the Wei and Liang Kingdoms to destroy Dakang. Although the barbarian troubles existed, they would not lead to the country's destruction.
Therefore, there is only one possibility, and that is internal worries.
When he contacted himself, Emperor Long Jing broke into a cold sweat.
He was originally a vassal king seizing the throne, but he was originally a member of the royal family. Even if he seizes the throne, the world will still belong to his Xiao family, and the well-off society will still be well-off.
But what if a feudal lord with a foreign surname rebels?
In Dakang, except for Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, no one else has this ability.
So he had to get rid of Zhenbei Palace no matter what.
Although this may leave the barbarians undefended, but so what, even if the north loses a few states, Dakang will still be Dakang...
Fortune begins in the north, and this sentence further made him determined.
When the country is in ruins and the old is replaced by the old, there will be people who are lucky enough to change the dynasty and establish a new dynasty.
Master Yuanji’s instructions were very clear.
The lucky man is in the north.
Who is in the north?
There was no one else except the King of Zhenbei, so he buried the whole situation, used Guan Zi to place the chess piece, and went to the Palace of the King of Zhenbei.
Let him poison the then eldest son Guan Ning...
This is the whole process.
The more I think about it now, the more I feel that Guan Ning is the right person.
The poison he suffered when he was young failed to kill him, and he was a wasted prince but he rose again...
Emperors of all dynasties seemed to have no doubts about this theory of numerology, but these were originally without evidence.
Maybe the Master Kongji said a few words at will under pressure...
Thoughts flashed through.
Emperor Long Jing looked determined!
As he said, this time he was betting on the future of Dakang and the destiny of the country.
"Grain and military supplies, military strength, and the attitudes of other countries...these are all ready."
