Chapter 418: Cloud Feiyang, the curtain rises (continued wonderfully)
"Yongzheng's letter is good, but I can't see it if it's not good.
Haha, I have good news for you. The day after you left, that old boy Zhang Wenshan came back from Goryeo, and the political situation in Goryeo has been completely stabilized. Now that he is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, I feel a lot more at ease. In addition,
With Hong Aiqing’s help, you don’t have to worry about logistics. I will fully support you! In addition, the nationwide recruitment has begun and is progressing very smoothly. In just three days, three thousand soldiers were recruited in Tokyo alone
The hot-blooded men of the Great Zhou Dynasty joined the army. According to the news collected from various places in the past few days, as of the date of writing to you, the number of young men recruited from all over the country has exceeded 100,000. After you deal with the rebels, these hundreds of thousands of
The hot-blooded man of Dazhou will fight with you on the battlefield and make immortal achievements.
In your words, counterinsurgency is just an appetizer, and the Turks are our ultimate goal. I have endured the humiliation for decades, and for the sake of temporary peace, I did not hesitate to give away my beloved concubine. This matter still bothers me.
Huai. For more than ten years, I have secretly arranged this plan and spent countless efforts. Now, it has finally paid off. Moreover, it is precisely because of your appearance that I made up my mind to gather the strength of the whole country and fight to the death with the Turks.
While the generals are away, I will not give you any orders. You alone will decide everything. If it succeeds, I will hold a banquet in Tokyo to entertain the returning military advisor. The country will be exempted from taxes for three years. The whole country will celebrate. If it fails, I will
As the king of a country, we will never live in this world. We meet under the spring. We have made an oath to inspire you to bravely fight the enemy and build our immortal and glorious foundation. I sent with the letter another half of the troops.
Hufu, now hundreds of thousands of our elites have gathered in the North, and they are all dispatched by you alone. Okay. I won’t say more, remember to take care of yourself, my health is still waiting for your return!
God bless you!"
The midday sun shines into the room, and the bright beam casts a bright spot in the slightly dark room.
On the table, there was a tea cup within reach, with steam rising up.
The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the room. Everyone held their breath and looked at the smiling scholar sitting on the chair in silence.
After Lu Heng read the handwriting once, he sighed deeply in his heart.
Holding the letter in his hand, he stood up with his hands behind his back, raised his head, took a deep breath, and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Before leaving, in the cold and humid morning fog, the emperor personally went out of the city to see him off. He also took out a thick manuscript from his arms and handed it to him solemnly.
This manuscript contains the astonishing power that the emperor secretly prepared for decades, enduring humiliation and hardship for decades.
These include more than 100,000 war horses hidden in the mountains of northern Hebei, hundreds of thousands of elite infantry from Hubei, sophisticated equipment from the Zhou arsenal, and intelligence networks all over the world. The first two are countless.
The half tiger talisman mentioned by the emperor in the letter was not actually a real tiger talisman, but a token to mobilize these powers.
According to what the emperor told himself that day, hundreds of thousands of horses from the mountainous areas of northern Hebei were now deployed in the troops of Lu Heng's brother-in-law, Wang Gongye. Moreover, with a wave of his hand, the emperor directly removed Wang Gongye from the fourth rank.
His official position was promoted to a first-class cavalry general. Today, Wang Gongye is a general with hundreds of thousands of cavalry. His power is so great that it is shocking.
The tens of thousands of troops from Hubei, led by the governor of Hubei, had secretly passed through Sichuan. At this time, they had reached the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi and successfully joined forces with Wu Ningyuan's troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi.
As for his own part, in addition to Duan Peng's 50,000 elite troops and the Hebei garrison of more than 30,000 people, the emperor also placed the 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Camp originally used to guard Tokyo under his own command.
So far, the total number of the three armies gathered in the north has exceeded 400,000 troops.
Looking at the scale, the emperor was ready to go all out this time, and he was going to fight with the Turks out of fear.
But now, the emperor has handed over all his capital to him without any doubts. This friendship moved Lu Heng endlessly.
To be honest, if I am not touched by this trust, it would be a lie.
However, what's more, is the heavy pressure on my shoulders.
As the monarch and his ministers discussed before, the Zhou Dynasty has been patient for many years, and now it is ready to be fired. If it continues to tolerate it, the blood of the people will be smoothed out, and the country will no longer be a country. By then, there will be no need for Turks
As people move south, the country will fall apart.
Moreover, under the conscientious governance of successive emperors, although on the surface the Great Zhou was weak militarily and the country was weak. But hidden beneath the surface, the strength contained in the Great Zhou was enough to make all opponents who despised him pay a heavy price.
The Turks were the first guests to taste this feast.
Not bad luck!
After Lu Heng weighed the oracle in his hand, he smiled slightly, sighed deeply, put the oracle away and put it in his arms.
"Military advisor, your Majesty asked your humble general to give this to you!"
The big man wearing the black armor of the Qianniu Guard, who looked a bit lame, came over, respectfully took out a brocade box, presented it to Lu Heng, and said respectfully.
Lu Heng took it, opened it, took a look, and then put the brocade box into his arms.
"General Zhou, I've admired you for a long time!" Lu Heng smiled, raised his hands and said with a smile to this mighty man.
Although he had never introduced himself since he came in, Lu Heng still relied on his own eyesight and the general demeanor on this man to recognize him at a glance as the North Camp guard Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu has many legendary experiences.
At that time, I heard from the King of Huainan that this man lived in Taiyuan, Shanxi. He was originally a blacksmith. But because his wife was molested, he got angry and killed the gangster's family with a knife, so he was imprisoned. When he was beheaded,
He was saved by the then eldest prince, now the emperor, at the execution ground. From then on, he surrendered to the emperor and followed him wholeheartedly.
This man followed the emperor and fought in the north and south. He achieved great military success by virtue of his bravery and strategy. From a small soldier, he became the commander of the Tokyo garrison today.
The legendary experience is enough to write several books.
Even Wu Ningyuan, who had his eyes high above his head, made no secret of his admiration when talking about this man. He praised him as the emperor's best general.
He has the same bravery as Qin Shihu, but also has the strategy that Qin Shihu lacks.
Therefore, this person was able to hold the position of Beiying, which has not changed for more than ten years. From this point, it is enough to see that the emperor has considerable trust in this person.
Seeing Lu Heng looking at him with interest, Zhou Yafu smiled awkwardly.
Originally, he dressed like this today because he wanted to test Lu Heng's vision. Rumor has it that this scholar has unparalleled wisdom and strategic vision. Even the current His Majesty has spoken highly of this person. In addition, this
The Goryeo War directed by the scholar was really beautiful. Even the old guys in the capital who had long since removed their armor and returned to their fields were impressed by it.
Zhou Yafu, who had outstanding meritorious service, was placed under this person's command by the emperor this time. He suddenly had the idea of testing in his mind. Let's see if he could recognize him when he was wearing the Qianniu Guards costume.
After all, a vicious eye is an essential quality for a commander.
Now, having been revealed by someone's identity, Zhou Yafu chuckled, raised his hands and said frankly: "The military advisor has a good eye! The humble general is none other than Zhou Yafu!"
Apart from the praise, Zhou Yafu also felt a little disappointed.
If he were an assassin, or had evil intentions, then the military advisor standing in front of him would probably be a corpse already. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could he be so careless?
"Military advisor, aren't you afraid that the humble general will have evil intentions?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yafu still asked with a smile. But there was no respect or contempt in his eyes.
Lu Heng smiled and raised his finger to point at Agui, who was less than three meters away from Zhou Yafu: "If you can make a move in his hands, I will be afraid!"
Um?
Hearing what the military advisor said, Zhou Yafu's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he felt angry in his heart.
Although he said he was a little older, his martial arts skills were among the best among the veterans. When the military advisor said this, he was looking down on others.
Zhou Yafu glanced at Agui, who had a simple and honest smile next to him. He turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and sneered: "If that's the case, then I will be offended!"
Turning his head, Zhou Yafu looked Agui up and down, stepped back slightly, and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword with his palm. He stared at Agui and said: "Come on, little brother, let me see what you have..."
Before he finished speaking, a chill hit his eyebrows.
Zhou Yafu's eyes were full of fear. Looking at the broad sword with a faint blue light that was pointed at his eyebrows, his heart was like a turbulent wave, and he was shocked.
Is this, this *** still a human being?
How did he get here?
Martial arts, immortality, or magic?
"You..." The overwhelming sword energy was thrust into his mind. The penetrating cold energy directly plunged Zhou Yafu's whole body into ice coldness. His expression was dull, and he was stunned on the spot.
His throat paused, and he swallowed with difficulty. Zhou Yafu's eyes were full of disbelief: "You, how did you get here?"
With fear in his heart, he turned around and took a look at the young military advisor behind him who was holding his arms and looking at him with a smile. Zhou Yafu suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder the military advisor is not afraid. With such a super master beside him, Baibu Bu
No one can get close to him.
At this time, Agui's face looked cold and indifferent, with no expression in his eyes.
He didn't answer a single word from Zhou Yafu, and his cold eyes gradually narrowed, and his heart-stirring gaze was full of cold murderous intent.
The palm of the broad sword he was holding twisted slightly, and suddenly, the broad sword flashing with a faint blue light made a creepy buzzing sound.
"Are you..., are you the Ximen Fuxue rumored in Tokyo?" In panic, Zhou Yafu saw the weird blue sword in Agui's hand, and was shocked. A white-clothed figure was flying in his mind, peerless.
The master's appearance suddenly appeared before his eyes.
