After being away from Shangyong for nearly three years, when I came back, the scene had changed drastically.
King Qingyu's plan was realized. A circle was expanded outside the south city gate, adding half a city. The number of people in the country also increased far beyond Qingyu's expectations. The number of newly built buildings was increased from 82 to 92.
, which means that ninety-two chariots can be dispatched.
The increase in national power is not only reflected in the number of people. The southern expedition three years ago enabled Yongguo to gain a large number of people, property, and land. This also attracted more savages and refugees to settle in villages, regardless of the number of people.
In Dangshan, the total population of Yongguo exceeded 40,000, the highest since the country was moved.
Yongguo was already the leader of the four countries. In the past few years, Yuguo had the upper hand. This was the result of various reasons. No matter in terms of national strength, system, people's organizational strength, martial customs and traditions, etc., it was not comparable to Yuguo.
, Now that the king is cheering up, Yangzhou Zuolang's partial gang is working hard, and the country's power will rise immediately.
Wu Sheng's breakthrough to refine the gods added another fuel to Dayong's growing momentum.
King Qingyu came out of the palace to greet him. He solemnly paid homage and said, "It has been three years since you left. I heard that you wanted to break the situation. I have been looking forward to it every day. I really don't know what to eat and can't sleep at night. Now I'm finally back.
I would like to worship you as a great official, so I sincerely hope to accept it!"
The senior official, Xiu Guo Tongxiu, is an important minister, so Qingyu must "obey", his attitude must be sincere, and his tone must be from the heart, and there must be a ceremony afterwards. As long as the other party feels that you are disrespectful, slightly frivolous, and refuses to say
If it is not accepted, life will be difficult if word spreads.
Wu Sheng had refused before, and he still refuses now. In terms of land, the Mangdang Mountain fiefdom is almost as big as the entire country. In terms of the people it leads, it ranks first in the country. In terms of financial resources, he carries two hundred gold with him. As a god-refining realm alchemist, he wants to earn
There is no problem with money, and he does not have the deep-rooted concept of distinction between superior and inferior people in the world. As long as he is strong, there is no need to bear this false reputation.
After giving in, Qingyu had no choice but to make up for it and gave Wu Sheng the establishment of Wujia people. This was more affordable, but Wu Sheng was disrespectful and naturally accepted it. He planned to build five more forts when he went back to increase the number of people.
.
With the addition of the Wujia establishment, of course you can go to Gongyin Zhuowuzi to get five chariots. Then you can form a partial army. Harness the four-horned oxen and charge into the formation with ten chariots. How can the barbarians in Baiyue resist? Come to think of it.
Just sour and refreshing.
After entering the palace, Qingyu said: "The Yangzhou edict has not been issued yet, and I don't know how much tribute this year will bring. I am naturally worried. Now that you have returned, please give me some advice."
This is a routine behavior for the monarch to accept advice from his important ministers who have returned from an overseas trip, just as Wu Sheng accepted advice from his retainers.
Wu Sheng replied: "I have inside information. I have learned that Mao Gong will not be conquered this year, but troops need to be dispatched to help Chu. The Yangzhou edict is on the way and will arrive soon."
Qingyu was surprised: "What should I do?"
The Yongguo was small and weak, so it went to the battlefield just to give people a boost. In the battles between Wu and Chu, where hundreds or thousands of chariots were fought, it was not unusual to lose dozens of chariots.
For a powerful country, it is not a big deal, but for a mediocre country, it is a fatal setback.
Wu Sheng said: "I heard that the Wu army is going on an expedition. The commander is Gongzi Guang. He has a reputation as a virtuous man in the country. The outcome of this battle is unpredictable."
Qingyu was even more flustered: "What do you think we should do?"
It is impossible to refuse to send troops to help in the war. Let alone whether it can withstand the anger of the Chu people after the war, it is not necessarily possible to survive the current situation.
More than 200 miles north of the Four Kingdoms, across the Huyi Mountains, there is the military town of Huyi belonging to Yangzhou, with hundreds of livestock and military vehicles. It is specially designed to monitor Baiyue in the south. Of course, the objects of monitoring also include the Four Kingdoms. With a transfer order, Yong
The country is in danger of being destroyed. Do you dare to refuse?
In Wu Sheng's memory, the final result of the battle between Chu and Wu must be Chu's victory, because Wu was not among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. However, there were so many battles during the period, and the outcome was hard to say. It seems that Wu even defeated Yingdu once.
, which made Chu State very embarrassed, but I don’t know which war it was.
Moreover, it is not very reliable to judge the direction based on the historical data in memory. After all, this is the world of practitioners.
Personally speaking, Wu Sheng is still looking forward to going to the battlefield in Zhouzhou. Wu Sheng can't help but think of the overwhelming variety of tanks, magical weapons, spiritual materials, spiritual elixirs, and magical formations in the camps of both sides.
How satisfying it would be if I could have a few bites while my heart was up and down!
Of course, the danger is undeniable, but compared with the millions of spiritual sand required to break through the realm in the next stage, this risk is still worth taking. It can only be said that after breaking through the realm and refining the gods, the power of self-protection is greatly strengthened.
His courage also increased and his appetite increased.
"I have no good plans, but I only wish to serve the king with loyalty, serve the country with sincerity, throw my head and shed blood, this is my duty. In this battle, I am willing to go to war!" Wu Sheng said with emotion.
Qingyu was greatly moved, but he did not want Wu Sheng to take risks: "You are an alchemist and a guest, how can you go to war? Absolutely not!"
Wu Sheng glanced at the historian who recorded the duel, and it was hard to explain some things clearly, so he said: "Although it is dangerous, but in order to cheer up Dayong, I have to go! As long as you are here, our army will definitely use it."
Your strength wins the recognition of Chu people and enjoys praise from all countries!"
After much talk, Qingyu reluctantly agreed to Wu Sheng's request for a battle, and summoned Sima to discuss the matter of leaving the army.
Yuan Sima has always been the main combatant in the Yong Kingdom, and he is the real main combatant. If there is a war, just fight it, no matter where it is fought, no matter why it is fought. As soon as he heard that he was going to go to war, his whole mental state became alive.
stand up.
But Qingyu also told him that although he would lead this trip, he must discuss it with Wu Sheng. To put it bluntly, Wu Sheng would control the direction. Yuan Sima, who had experienced the southern expedition to Baiyue, still admired Wu Sheng.
, he himself suffered a lot in that battle and fought very easily, so he was very satisfied with Qingyu's arrangement.
The news Wu Sheng brought back gave Yongguo five days to prepare in advance. Sikong Mansion took action and purchased food, spiritual materials, elixirs and other supplies from the three countries of Yu, Lu, and Kui, and calmly completed preparations for the expedition.
If Cui Ming's chess move had a great effect, if he played a few more times in the future, the three kingdoms of Yu, Qi, and Kui would have no choice but to surrender.
On this day, the edict from Yangzhou finally arrived at Shangyong, ordering Yongguo to send out fifty troops and arrive in Zhoulai in the middle of February to pay orders to Xian Yue, who was in charge of the war.
Yuan Sima planned to provide ten chariots and thirty disciples. Although Wu Sheng had a quota of ten chariots, there were not enough disciples, so he could only afford five chariots.
The two men were discussing the recruitment of the military chariots of the officials at Sima Yuan's house. Sikong Yipu and Siwei Yongji came to the house together.
Seeing that Wu Sheng was there, they both laughed. We were all members of the party that supported Qingyu back then, so we were naturally cordial and asked, "I've been transferred to the prefecture today. How many troops will I send?"
Yuan Sima smiled and said: "Don't worry, you two. Doctor Shen and I have agreed that Lao Yi will ride on two and Ji Lang will ride on one."
Yi Pu and Yong Ji said together: "Absolutely not!"
Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng were stunned for a while.
