The rain was about to come, and the wind filled the buildings, and the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. The Qian family's actions came faster than Li Tian imagined. Less than two months after Li Tian returned to Chaodu, the magic gun spread from the capital.
News came. Qian Fu Babaili hurriedly reported to the court that the border was invaded by enemies from many countries. The total number of enemy troops was about two million and they were in urgent need of soldiers and horses. Otherwise, the border would be in danger and Da'an would suffer the disaster of national subjugation.
Da'an had not experienced a war for many years. When they heard the news, the civil and military officials of the entire court were in chaos. In the capital, many ministers, under the instigation of Qian Gui and Zhou Zhong, jointly submitted a memorial, asking the court to send troops to concentrate the country's advantages.
Use your military strength to defeat foreign enemies.
His Majesty the Emperor was dumbfounded and at a loss. Finally, he followed the advice of his ministers and issued an imperial edict, which he regretted later.
Emperor Da'an ordered all garrison troops at or above the provincial governor level across the country to rush to the border front lines and obey the command of the generalissimo without making any mistakes. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by military law.
Under Qian Gui's persuasion, the emperor even sent the imperial guards to the front line, leaving only five thousand soldiers and horses in the entire capital, all in Zhou Zhong's hands.
Li Tian was a little surprised when he received the news, but he could not rush in this matter and immediately issued several important orders.
First, ask the sub-station in Pingdu to inform Marquis Wang Ping to move as slowly as possible on the road and wait to meet him.
Then he sent someone to inform the magicians in the capital that they must keep an eye on the emperor and his family. If anything happens, no matter what method is used, the emperor and the prince must be brought out first. Even if they are kidnapped, they must be brought back alive.
Before leaving, another military and political meeting was held. During Li Tian's deployment, Chaodu only obeyed the orders of the governor-general and ignored all other government orders. No one outside Chaodu was allowed to mobilize any soldiers in Chaodu.
, even if it is an imperial edict, it will not work.
The Governor's Mansion is jointly run by Huang Rong and the heads of the six clans. Li Tianming appears to be leading 5,000 troops this time, but in fact there are 60,000 well-trained elite soldiers from the six clans. He also ordered Huang Rong to seize the equipment at home.
The new recruits came back from Pingdu. The six major alien races and the people of Chaodu added a total of 200,000 troops to the army. After less than two months of training, this army composed of the six major tribes can definitely be regarded as...
They are well-trained. The only thing missing is equipment. The dwarves worked overnight to make weapons. It is estimated that they will be equipped within two months. They also trained a group of nearly 200,000 militiamen to implement the policy of hiding troops from the people. Normally, they are ordinary people.
In times of war, they are drawn out to form the army.
After everything was arranged, he hurried to the front line. It was not that he was in a hurry to fight, but the main thing was to intercept his old father-in-law on the way and stop him from rushing to his death.
The night before arriving, Ruyan and Ruyu were extremely affectionate towards Li Tian. Li Tian also told the sisters about the Qian family's rebellion. Others did not believe this kind of thing, but Ruyan and Ruyu had no doubt that this was
The two women trust Li Tian and absolutely believe in their husbands from the bottom of their hearts.
War means bloodshed. The two girls leaned in Li Tian's arms and didn't want to leave for a long time. In the end, they actually offered to sleep together. In this era, Li Tian was really touched that he could say such words.
I feel sorry for the two sisters. I don’t know when they will come back after leaving. If the Qian family really wants to succeed in the coup, the two sisters may have to follow Li Tian to fight guerrillas in the mountains.
After a night of lingering, the two girls let go of their hearts and tried their best to cater to Li Tian. No matter what request he made, the two girls accepted it shyly and silently. But Li Tian was so happy that he wished he could go to school from ###
I used everything I got and spent the night in extreme excitement. The next day, I was greeted with a sad farewell.
The brigade was divided into five camps, each of which was no more than 20 kilometers apart. Li Tian was in the first camp, and Guo Jing was holding down the battle in the last camp. Li Tian did not ride a horse. It was really difficult last night.
I was so tired that I could only lie down in the car and rest.
After traveling for less than five days, he met Wang Ping's soldiers and horses by a large river. Seeing the situation, Wang Ping had arrived early and had set up camp. Li Tian came to Wang Ping's military tent and saw that Wang Ping looked a little...
Lost.
Marquis Wangping has not had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Ever since he received the imperial edict to send troops, he understood that what Li Tian said was right. It seems that the Qian family is really going to launch a mutiny, but Marquis Wangping is really powerless. Now
I couldn't report to the emperor, and I didn't have many soldiers to resist. I really didn't know what to do. As a veteran minister for many years, I was really heartbroken.
Seeing Li Tian come in, Wang Ping sighed and told the others to leave without talking to Li Tian. Li Tian understood Wang Ping's mood at this time, so he didn't persuade him and poured a glass of water alone.
Li Tian took a sip of water and asked, "Father-in-law, what do you think about the future?"
"If I have any ideas, I can only take one step at a time. Now that I have a military order, I have to go." Wang Ping also knew that going to the front line would most likely be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, and some generals loyal to Da'an would probably go there.
No reply.
Li Tianzhen didn't understand these stubborn generals, knowing that they were going to die. Li Tian said: "Father-in-law, I can ignore others, but you are Ruyan and Ruyu's father, and I, Li Tian's father-in-law, I can't
Even if he looks like he is going to die, there are no other options."
When Wang Ping heard this, he became more energetic and asked: "What can I do? As long as I can keep Da'an, I am willing to die."
Hey! I want to trade your death for Da'an. Others are willing but I am not willing. "Father-in-law, now we can only use procrastination. When other troops arrived at the front line, they saw that there were no soldiers coming as reported.
There must be suspicion in his heart. So Qian Fu will take action on these people, and the capital side will also take action, otherwise they will not be able to perform this scene.
As long as the safety of the emperor can be guaranteed, it will be easier for us to deal with their rebellion as soon as it is made public. Although the Qian family controls a large number of troops, they are not popular among the people. If the people do not side with them, this war will be fought."
Wang Ping looked at Li Tian and asked several questions in succession, "How can you be sure that there are not many enemy troops at the border? How can you be sure that there is a problem on the other side of the capital? Besides, how can you be sure of the safety of His Majesty the Emperor?"
Li Tian had already received news from Ying'er that there were only two countries in alliance with the Qian family, and they only sent 200,000 troops. This was conveyed by Ying'er through Li Tian's branch of the Trade Federation in the Crescent Kingdom, using the birds of the Bird Clan.
The news reported from one station to another is very reliable, but this matter cannot be discussed with Wang Pingming.
Li Tian looked at Wang Ping, thought for a moment, and said: "Father-in-law, I can't give you the answer yet, but please believe that what I said is absolutely right. If you want to believe me, give me all the military power."
Let’s deal with it.”
Wang Ping looked at Li Tian, and now he realized that his son-in-law was indeed different from ordinary people, and the things he did were unexpected. He nodded, shook his head and said, "Li Tian, I understand what you mean.
But do you know how many troops Qian Fu has? Including the troops from all over the country this time, he will definitely integrate them into his own army, which will be more than two million. I only have how many here, less than five in four provinces
In an army of ten thousand people, you only have 5,000 soldiers and horses. Even if you recruit some in the past two months, it will not exceed 20,000. Can we win? 70,000 against 2 million regular troops. Don’t give it to me.
Say you can invite the Sun God down."
Hahahaha, Li Tian burst into laughter and said: "Father-in-law, I am not a three-year-old child, nor am I a fool. I am not stupid enough to jump into a pit of fire. To tell you the truth, we are not 70,000, but 500,000."
Army."
When Wang Ping heard this, he stood up in confusion: "What did you say? Five hundred thousand? Where did you get so many troops? Chaodu is just a province, how could there be so many people? Where did you get the equipment? Use wooden sticks and
The army fights?”
No wonder Wang Ping didn't believe that the area under the jurisdiction of Chaodu used to have a population of only tens of thousands. In less than a year, a large number of refugees from other places came in, and the population was only 700,000. How many people are there in the six major alien races?
no one knows.
"Father-in-law, I wonder if Ruyan and Ruyu have told you that I am still the king of the forest and the leader of the six alien races."
"Having said that, how many people can there be among several mountain tribes?"
"How many people can there be? That's a population of two million, and there are no less than 800,000 good fighters who can fight hard. Now I have brought 60,000 elite soldiers, just divided into several large camps, all at the back. There are still more at home
There are nearly 400,000 well-trained troops. To put it bluntly, the dwarves may have the most refined iron in Da'an, and it will not be a problem to equip an army of two million."
When Wang Ping heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
