"Mother, I'm so happy!" As soon as Chu Xiangcheng received the battle report just sent by Luo Xiang, he immediately beamed with joy, and hurriedly came with Bian Zhongxing to report God's will.
As soon as he walked into Tianyi's small courtyard, Chu Xiangcheng found that Tianyi was busy. He couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Tianyi, what are you doing?" There were only a few people, so Chu Xiangcheng called them by their names.
Tianyi raised his head and saw that it was Chu Xiangcheng. He quickly stood up and said, "It turns out to be my uncle. In a while, it will be the day of ancestor worship for the Hao family. I am packing my things and preparing to go back and stay for a while."
Chu Xiangcheng also remembered that at the beginning of October every year, it was the time for the Hao family to pay homage to their ancestors. Hao Fei was originally an only son, and Haotian had no brothers. In addition, Haotian had often been away on military expeditions in recent years, so every year he would pay homage to his ancestors.
It was God's will that went there personally.
The two brothers Hao and Jin were playing in the yard. When they saw Chu Xiangcheng and his two brothers walking in, they quickly moved out the small stools they usually sat on. Although the two little guys were only four years old, God's will was good to them.
My education is very strict, so even though I have a lot of people around me to pamper me, I still know etiquette very well.
Seeing this, Chu Xiangcheng took the stool with a smile and said: "Jin'er is good, it's not in vain that grandpa loves you so much." Bian Zhongxing sat on the stool and held Hao'an in his arms. It was just Hao'an's.
The stool was quite short, and Bian Chongxing was naturally uncomfortable after sitting on it. However, thinking that this was his adopted son's wish, Bian Chongxing was relieved.
Xin Jiao was packing things in the back room when he heard Chu Xiangcheng and his two men arriving. He quickly made two cups of tea and brought them out.
Chu Xiangcheng held Hao Jin in one hand and took a sip from the tea cup with the other hand. He immediately praised: "Xin Jiao's skill in making tea is getting deeper and deeper. I was thinking, if I could drink such a cup every day, it would be scary."
The incense of killing is such a joyful thing."
Although Bian Chongxing is not as fond of tea as Chu Xiangcheng, he still appreciates Xin Jiao's tea art, so he also praised it. However, Hao'an kept wanting to grab the teacup in his hand, and Bian Chongxing was afraid of burning it.
He ignored him and simply placed the tea cup on the stone table not far away.
Tianyi heard this and said with a smile: "Uncle, you're welcome. If you like it, can you ask Xin Jiao to make you a pot of tea every day?"
Chu Xiangcheng chuckled and said, "How dare I ask my mistress to make tea for me every day?"
Tianyi smiled and said: "Uncle said this, he is out of touch. Since Jiao is your husband's wife, she is naturally your junior. Isn't that right?"
Xin Jiao also smiled: "If uncle likes it, I can just make him a pot every day. It won't take much energy anyway."
Chu Xiangcheng smiled happily and said, "Okay, but I'm afraid I won't be able to have this good fortune this month!"
Xin Jiao asked curiously: "Why did uncle say this?"
"God will return to Qingyun soon. Every time he worships his ancestors, he will have to stay in Qingyun for at least a month. Aren't you going to go with him?"
Xin Jiao's face turned red, but his eyes quietly looked towards Tianyi.
Tianyi said quickly: "Of course Jiao is going. If Qingcheng and the others are there, they must go too. Not only Xin Jiao, Ruoshui and Liu Yanyancai are also planning to go together."
Bian Chongxing asked curiously: "What are they going to do?"
"They don't want to go out for a walk, but they all say they always stay in Yanzhou and are bored." Tianyi said with a smile.
Bian Zhongxing said with a headache: "You said they all have big bellies, why are they traveling so far? And that Fu Ruoshui, this girl should find her a husband, otherwise she is so energetic, we can't
I was tortured.”
"Shuai Bian, what does it have to do with you when we go to Qingyun? Is it necessary to chirp in the back? Also, whether or not this girl will marry has nothing to do with you, so don't talk about it like an old woman!"
As soon as Zhongxing finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside the courtyard. Bian Zhongxing's face turned serious. He naturally knew who was coming. In the whole Loop, it seemed that this little girl was the most arrogant.
Not only Fu Ruoshui, she was also followed by a large group of women such as He Yu, Liu Yan and so on. As soon as Hao Jin, who was still sitting in Chu Xiangcheng's arms, heard this voice, he jumped down from Chu Xiangcheng's arms in excitement and mouthed
The one shouting "aunt" and "grandma" rushed towards the crowd. Chu Xiangcheng's expression suddenly became bitter.
He Yu walked up to Chu Xiangcheng and scolded: "Xiangcheng, look at how old you are, why are you still arguing with children?"
Chu Xiangcheng quickly forced out a smile: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. It's just that when Jin'er went down, he stepped on my cuff. Look, such a heavy footprint."
He Yu said angrily: "If it's dirty, just take it off and change it and wash it. Look, after all, he is the top of our Loop, wearing this washed gray robe all day long. If outsiders don't know, they still
I thought we in Hetao were really so poor."
Chu Xiangcheng was speechless. Luo Xiang was his eldest brother, and He Yu was his sister-in-law. This sister-in-law disciplines her brothers, whether she cares about them or not, she should at least have a respectful attitude.
Bian Zhongxing looked at the pregnant ladies, who were all six or seven months old, and said worriedly: "How old are you now, and you still want to go out for fun? If something happens along the way, how will we go to the expedition?"
The soldiers will explain."
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the commander is worried. The road from Yanzhou to Qingyun is the best section of our Loop. With the specially made carriage, there is no bumps at all along the way. Moreover, he is always so dumb.
It's quite boring in Yanzhou, and the doctors have said that going out for a walk will help the mother and child stay safe."
Bian Zhongxing was not good at words, so naturally she couldn't argue with Liu Yan. Moreover, there were so many allies behind her, and she could bear the consequences of just one sentence from each one. At the moment, An An was teasing Hao An without saying a word.
Although the Hao family worships their ancestors in early October, as God's will goes south, he will also visit various states and counties. In addition, he has to stay in Qingyun for a period of time, so he has to go south in advance every year. This time, due to the presence of Liu Yan and others
Although God will not deliberately patrol everywhere, I think that such a large group of people will stay in Qingyun for a longer time.
Meng Ling said happily: "Since arriving in Hetao, I rarely go to Qingyun. My parents-in-law are there, and our Lao Zhu also asked me to visit more. This time it is considered a good trip."
Tianyi saw a large group of people crowded in the courtyard, and knew that Chu Xiangcheng and the two came to report something, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I see you all look happy. Go back and clean up, we will be there the day after tomorrow at the latest
Just get ready to go.”
Naturally, the girls understood the meaning of God's will, glanced at Chu Xiangcheng and the other two, and then left one after another.
Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing described the situation of the Zhizhou battle to Tianyi in detail, and Tianyi was immediately overjoyed and said: "It is indeed a great joy! In this way, except for the Great Wall defense line, all other areas in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are
Let me have my way. Well, now our army should be preparing to storm Juyong Pass, right?"
Bian Zhongxing nodded: "Yes. There were originally only 50,000 defenders in Juyong Pass. Including the remnant soldiers who fled here, the number was about 70,000. However, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Zhizhou did not matter to the three Northeastern Kingdoms at all.
Psychological preparation. Therefore, it is difficult for them to mobilize troops from home to Juyongguan in a short period of time."
"Short time, how short is it?" God asked.
"Half a month! At least half a month!" Bian Zhongxing said categorically: "After our army entered the Taihang Road and severely defeated the Mandan army, the three Northeastern countries have sent 200,000 troops to reverse the unfavorable war situation in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.
The coalition forces later added more troops. Now, they have very few mobile troops in the country. According to my estimate, within half a month, they will transfer up to 50,000 soldiers from the Baijing Dynasty to Juyong Pass."
Tianyi frowned and asked: "Commander Bian, do you think our army has the ability to conquer Juyong Pass within half a month?"
"It's hard to say. Among the large armies, the only commander is the leading siege master in China. With his command, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. However, it depends on who is the commander of Juyongguan. If it is Cassimbas, then it is only now
With 70,000 soldiers, it is easy to defend for a year and a half. If it were someone else, then our chances would be much greater." Bian Zhongxing said. He is well-known in China for defense.
Handsome, of course he has the most say.
Tianyi naturally believed Bian Zhongxing's words. After thinking for a while, he suddenly let out a cry. Chu Xiangcheng and Chu Xiangcheng were startled and thought something had happened, but Tianyi smiled slightly: "I think of a person, he must be able to
Help our army conquer Juyong Pass."
Bian Zhongxing's mind flashed, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Is the mistress talking about Master Lin Yuanke?"
Lin Yuanke is the most outstanding architect of the Qingfeng Empire. His ancestral home is Yanzhou, Beiyuan Road. Many passes on the Qingfeng Empire's Great Wall defense line were built by him. He was very familiar with the Northeast Great Wall defense line. At that time
Bian Zhongxing was still the deputy general of the Xuanwu Army, and when he was in charge of garrisoning Juyongguan, the Qingfeng Empire once carried out a large-scale repair of the Great Wall defense line including Juyongguan, and Lin Yuanke was the general person in charge. If he arrived at the front line of Juyongguan, it would be like giving
One hundred thousand soldiers were added to Hetao.
Tianyi nodded: "Master Lin has been in charge of the planning of the official road in the northwest some time ago. He just returned to Hetao two days ago. The war at Juyong Pass is about to begin. Now we can only ask him to go to Juyong Pass first."
The three of them were chatting happily when Fu Ruoshui hurried in. A flash of displeasure suddenly flashed across Chu Xiangcheng's face. This little girl was a little too casual. But when he saw Ruoshui's solemn expression, his
His expression also became serious.
"Sister, there is a secret report from Soul Eater. The 350,000 allied troops led by Park Zhicheng defeated the 150,000 elite soldiers led by Song Junlin, including the White Ear Corps, in Uiju. The Song family suffered heavy losses. The 100,000 cavalry of the Luxe Dynasty were defeated in Uiju.
Under the leadership of General Ta Mu Shang, they gathered in the northwest of the country, with an unknown target. At the same time, the Holy Sect of Paradise gathered 200,000 elites and broke into Yuzhou Road under the personal leadership of Zhu Zhao."
Chu Xiangcheng was suddenly startled. He suddenly stood up and asked: "The Eastern Army? Didn't General Xiang lead the Eastern Army to guard the Yuzhou Road area? How could the Holy Sect of Bliss enter Yuzhou Road so easily?"
Fu Ruoshui gave a wry smile: "General Xiang returned to the Holy Capital of Tiandu on the orders of Emperor Zhongxing to report on his duties. Before he reached the Holy Capital of Tiandu, news came that the Bliss Holy Sect was launching a massive attack. The Eastern Army had already withdrawn from Ruzhou.
Retreat into the realm of the Holy Capital of Heaven."
Bian Zhongxing gave a wry smile: "It seems that the Yuzhou Road we worked so hard to conquer has been ruined by the imperial court again."
After the Paradise Holy Sect retreated to Yangzhou Road, it went through a series of refining its troops and simplifying its administration. The total strength was about 320,000. The Pinglangjun Regiment was basically intact. This is the most powerful regiment of the Paradise Holy Sect at present. It basically maintained its
It was the foundation when it was first established. However, Pinglang was good at defense, and this regiment was the basic guarantee for the safety of Yangzhou Road.
Next is Zhu Zhao's Legion, with a total strength of 80,000. This legion is mainly composed of miscellaneous soldiers from various legions. However, although Zhu Zhao has many bad qualities as a person, his ability to lead troops and training skills are indeed the best choice.
After more than a year of recuperation, the combat effectiveness of this legion has become quite impressive.
The third one is the Wuyan Legion, with a total strength of 80,000. The last one is Cheng Xianqing's personal army, the commander of which is Wan Chengdong, with a total strength of about 60,000.
The reason why the Paradise Holy Sect has reduced its military strength is completely helpless. Although Yangzhou Road was once the richest place in Qingfeng after Jiangnan Road, after the ravages of the Paradise Holy Sect and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, the total population has dropped from its peak period.
The total of more than 17 million yuan fell to less than 10 million. Later, Hetao led his army to go south. Especially after seeing the situation in Meiyang County, Hetao no longer spared any efforts on Yangzhou Road. By the time Haotian led his army to leave Yangzhou
As of the road, there are only about 6 million people left here, and most of them are old, weak, women and children.
Although the Holy Sect of Paradise was as rich as the enemy, after the continuous expansion of the army and support for the Eastern Japanese food and grass, the national treasury also began to run out. In desperation, Cheng Xianqing had to streamline his troops and streamline his administration. As a result, although the number of troops was temporarily reduced, the combat effectiveness was still
Somewhat improved.
Chu Xiangcheng said solemnly: "What is the current situation of the White Ear Army?"
Fu Ruoshui shook his head, flipped through the information in his hand, and said: "It's not clear yet, but it is said that Pu Zhicheng has been completely disabled, and there are only less than 30,000 soldiers left standing by the river. Li
Everyone is also very concerned about the situation in Yizhou, and there are at least 100,000 troops concentrated in Hezhou City."
Chu Xiangcheng closed his eyes and remained silent. Although Chu Xiangcheng did not think that the Song family would be able to find favor in the battle with Pu Zhicheng from the beginning, he did not expect that the Song family would be defeated so violently.
"What's happening in the imperial court?" Bian Zhongxing asked calmly.
"The troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise are pointing directly at the Holy Capital of Tiandu. Now there is only one Eastern Legion and an incomplete Imperial Guard Corps near the Holy Capital of Tiandu. It is difficult to contain the offensive of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Emperor Zhongxing has ordered Liu Si Zhuan to lead Suzaku
The army crossed the river and headed north to defend the Holy Capital of Heaven." Fu Ruoshui said.
