In the academy of the palace, several ministers who relied heavily on each other held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
At this time, a fast horse galloped into Changyang City, and the city guards did not stop it.
"Report, emergency military information"
"Say it quickly!"
As soon as Yugong heard that there was an urgent military situation coming from the front, he immediately asked the soldier to pass it up. At this time, Julong, who had been sitting on a chair without any movement, slowly opened his eyes.
"Jinling Mountain Garrison has been active recently. It is gathering a hundred thousand troops from various mountain garrison tribes to prepare to go south to invade Changyang City and seize food."
When the waiter finished reading, the faces of everyone in the study changed drastically and they were panicked. Although every year before winter, the mountain garrison would go down the mountain to grab food. But in Yu Zeng's memory, in the decades since he took office, the mountain garrison had never been like this.
A large-scale operation involving an army of 100,000 people, let alone the Changyang tribe, even the entire Yandi tribe would probably feel the pressure.
"What should we do?" Situ asked in panic.
"Our Changyang City is located in the plains, with no danger to rely on. I am afraid that even tens of thousands of troops cannot withstand it, let alone hundreds of thousands!" Sima, who was in charge of the tribal army, also said in shock.
Panic suddenly spread in the room
"Teacher, what should I do now?" In panic, Yugong suddenly saw Julong sitting next to him, and he clung to him as if he was seeing a savior. Although Julong's main focus was agriculture, he also followed the previous Emperor Yan.
An old minister who opened up new territories can also plan strategies for marching and fighting.
Julong didn't panic at all, he just slowly raised his head and spoon.
Ginger is still hot! All the ministers were in awe of Julong. They didn’t even take a breath. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Julong.
Julong suddenly asked the waiter: "The slip mentioned an army of 100,000?"
"Yes." The waiter's face was ashen, and his response seemed very weak.
"Haha, a hundred thousand troops, a hundred thousand troops? Haha -" Julong laughed loudly, which confused everyone at once. No one knew why he could still laugh when he heard about a hundred thousand troops, and in his laughter
No worries or uneasiness at all
"Teacher, why are you laughing?" Yugong asked in confusion.
"Yes, sir, please stop showing off!" Everyone said in confusion.
"Great Chief, you have heard it, sirs. Isn't it ridiculous to have an army of one hundred thousand?" Julong did not immediately answer their doubts, but asked instead
"What's so ridiculous?" As Sima, who is responsible for the safety of Changyang City, he is naturally more anxious than anyone else.
"Although the Jinling area is vast, it is mostly deep and dangerous mountains. It is very difficult to support hundreds of thousands of mountain garrison troops. Moreover, the mountain garrison tribes do not rule each other and each has their own grievances. If you want to recruit warriors from many tribes to form a large army,
, it is not easy to raise an army of 100,000. I am afraid that there are many old, weak, women and children among them. Coupled with the competition for command and the chaos of mutual cooperation, the combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced."
Julong's words seemed to be filled with divine power, and the hesitating crowd suddenly calmed down.
"Sir, are you saying that this might be an exaggeration or a bluff?" Sima was the manager of this business after all, and he quickly sensed Julong's thoughts.
"Well, it's possible, but even if they are really anxious to raise a hundred thousand troops, this process will involve a lot. We have enough time to prepare for the battle and wait for the work," Julong said while brushing his beard.
Yu Gong was pacing back and forth in the study, suddenly stopped, and said: "The weather is getting colder, and I'm afraid there are others who want to take advantage of us. Right now, we only have news from Jinling, and there is no news from Shihuang Cangjie clan and Lingzhi clan.
It’s really worrying to hear this!”
Sima agreed: "These two clans are not far from Changyang, and they have always been connected with the mountain garrison in Jinling. If they form an alliance, I'm afraid..."
Julong did not sell out this time and immediately agreed: "That's right! Now it is no longer a matter of our Changyang tribe, but also related to the life and death of the imperial capital and even the entire Yandi tribe. As the saying goes, the chief should form a new army as soon as possible.
, to protect yourself!"
"What do you mean, teacher?" Yugeng said.
Julong nodded and said nothing. He understood what he meant most. There were many newly relocated tribes and they were quite powerful. As long as this powerful force was twisted together, the troubles of the mountain garrison would be easily solved.
Seeing Julong's firm attitude, Yugong suddenly felt as if he had taken some reassurance, and said to Sima: "Immediately issue a military order: Shanrong is in chaos and the military situation is critical, so a new army will be formed in advance. As of sunset tonight, the merit list
The thirty-two newly moved nobles in front of the city were immediately promoted to sergeants, and each quickly prepared to recruit other
Newly moved nobles can serve as generals. Each Xing Sima is allowed to have at most one hundred newly moved nobles as generals to form a new army. In addition, Xing Sima must have at least twenty generals. Those with fewer than this number will be removed from the position of Xing Sima.
After the formation of the army is completed, let others lead the army, and take a preemptive strike. Thirty-two Xingsima will lead the army into Jinling to fight against the Shanrong."
Sima hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Great Chief, this matter is of great importance. Do you want to report the situation to Emperor Yan?"
Yugong pondered for a moment, then looked at Julong and said firmly: "No need, my father has been quite worried about the border barbarians (Xuanyuan) recently. I am entrusted by my father to govern Changyang..."
"Yes, I accept your order!" Sima knew what to do and immediately responded.
…………
At dusk, notices were posted in front of the major city gates and military camp gates in Changyang City, which immediately caused a sensation among the Changyang people. People rushed to tell each other, and the news of the formation of the legion spread to the Changyang tribe hundreds of miles away like a spark.
In the evening, Changyang Sima followed Yu Gong's order and immediately issued the latest military decree to the entire city, moving dozens of new nobles with the highest merits to serve as Sima
Bulletin boards with this military and political appointment written on it were erected by the soldiers at the major city gates with the highest flow of people in just an hour, so that the Changyang people would know about it in the shortest possible time.
The torch hanging high at the city gate clearly illuminated the latest appointment certificate on the bulletin board.
When the ethnic people saw this announcement, they were very excited and started buying and selling in various places in the city. The resting ethnic groups rushed to the announcement office to watch and excitedly discussed the appointment certificate.
Although there were many places to post the announcements, there were too many ethnic groups who had no choice but to come to watch. Those behind could only stand on tiptoes and look forward.
"The chief's order: The Shanrong are in rebellion and the military situation is critical. Therefore, our Changyang tribe has formed a new army in advance to respond to the enemy. As of sunset tonight, the top 32 newly relocated nobles in this city with meritorious service will be immediately promoted to Sima Sergeant and sent to the North District Military Camp.
