Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 375 Zhuge Liang said, I am familiar with this!

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the voice of the little eunuch resounded.

"Your Majesty, your lords have arrived!"

Xiao Cheng heard the words and hurriedly said:

"Xuan!"

All the civil and military officials in the court hurried into the hall, bowed down to Xiao Cheng and said:

"See Your Majesty!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Cheng signaled all the officials to be free from courtesy, with a dignified expression and a solemn voice:

"Southwest urgent report, Xia Guo had previously set up a suspicious formation in Wuling Mansion. While our Dayun troops were being transferred to Dejiang County, they suddenly sent troops from Yangping Pass to attack Xiangzhou and Jiangyang counties! The gate of Xiangzhou County Cheng County is already broken."

When the military generals in the palace heard that Xia Guo sent troops from Yangping Pass, they all showed astonishment on their faces.

The old Taiwei Tao Ai went out to salute, frowned and said:
"The roads in the two counties of Xiangzhou and Jiangyang are rugged, and they have been relying on water transportation to maintain the dispatch of materials. But now, the Yangtze River waterway has been cut off by my big cloud. Before that, the material transportation system in the southwest of Xia Kingdom collapsed. If we attack from then on, the army's materials will be consumed." It will cost more! Why does Xia Jun insist on sending troops from now on?"

It is for this reason that the court of Yunguo believes so much that Xia Jun will launch an attack in Wuling Mansion!At this time, I was a little surprised to hear that Xia Jun unexpectedly dispatched troops from Yangping Pass in Anshun County.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:

"General Zhengbei guards the two counties with more than [-] soldiers and horses, and his troops are empty. In addition, if Jiangyang County can be taken by surprise, the situation can indeed be reversed. Compared with the benefits after the event is completed, some supplies are lost. Xia Guo may not take it seriously!"

Hearing the words, all the officials in the palace frowned immediately, with worried expressions on their faces.

Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued:

"I believe in General Zhengbei, and I also believe in General Dayun...but the situation is like this, the court and the central government need to make early preparations!"

Hearing this, Tao Ai immediately understood, cupped his hands and said:
"There are still [-] soldiers and horses in the big camp on the outskirts of Beijing. In addition, His Majesty can issue an order to recruit local county soldiers to serve. There are only a few counties in the capital, and there are [-] soldiers, equipped with armor and weapons, and trained Waiting, it is also worthy of use!"

Immediately, someone spoke up and asked:

"Old Lieutenant, the local county soldiers only knew how to maintain local law and order before, and they have been scattered for a long time. Are they really worthy of use?"

The duty of the local county soldiers is only to maintain the place, no more than the frontier army in battle, and even some local county soldiers have more old and weak soldiers. It is really difficult for people to have any trust in the county soldiers.

Tao Ai shook his head immediately, cupped his hands at Xiao Cheng, and said:

"Before, Your Majesty, he implemented the law of changing garrisons in the army, and ordered the central, local, and border armies to change their defenses in turn. The five army governors were ordered to take charge of the local military, abolish the old and weak, and retrain the county soldiers. Although the county soldiers are still not as good as the frontier army It's sharp and powerful, but it's already worth using!"

[Blue Zeka, more law enforcement

Card effect: After using it, the efficiency of training degree growth slows down.However, troops abroad can also enjoy the training value effect of central training.Troop attack power +1, and the chance of rebellion outside the troop is greatly reduced.

Card description: In the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty, the forbidden army was stationed in the capital and the outer counties, and rotated inside and outside. They returned to the capital regularly, and the generals were not allowed to be transferred accordingly, so that "soldiers are not always handsome, and handsome are not always handsome", so it is called "Gengweifa". 】

This card was drawn by Xiao Cheng before.He didn't take it seriously at first, but now it has played such a big role!
In fact, there is no need to discuss this matter.If Jiangyang County is really lost, Xia Guobing is threatening the northern border, and the country's troops are empty, so we can only rely on the local county soldiers to delay it!

Xiao Cheng immediately said:

"The soldiers and horses on the front line must absolutely not return to defense now, otherwise the situation in the southwest will reverse, and I, Dayun, will be even more passive! So this matter will be handled according to the old Taiwei's instructions. All ministers will fully cooperate, and no delay is allowed!"

With Xiao Cheng's words, the tone was completely set, and all the ministers immediately followed suit.

"Chaozhong arsenal, money and food, what else is in short supply?" Xiao Cheng continued to ask.

Yan Song, the servant of the household department, stepped forward immediately, bowed his hands and saluted:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the treasury is full now, and the money and food are not counted, which is enough to support the army of the country for more than a year!"

Officials from the Ministry of Industry also came out and reported:
"Since His Majesty's decree to establish the God Machine Institute, it has been expanded three times in succession, recruiting more than a thousand skilled craftsmen to help our Ministry of Industry forge military weapons and armor. Counting the previous accumulation, there are now mountains of knives and guns in the arsenal, iron armor, chain armor, and leather. There are nearly [-] sets of Armor in total, which is enough for the army of the country!"

[Golden Training Card, Star Bless Shuhan

Card effect: After using it, you will get Zhuge Liang...

(Golden card skill: fine mechanical skills - special building magic machine can be built, every level of magic machine built, increase weapon output by 5%)

Card description: Seek to help Han forget his worries...

...]

As the saying goes, those cards that Xiao Cheng had drawn before did not show much effect at the time, but now they have played a great role, making the current Yun Kingdom enough to deal with this somewhat sudden battle!

Xiao Cheng was determined in his heart, got up immediately, and shouted loudly:

"Xia Guo started the battle lightly, and passed on my orders. All the frontline troops will immediately rise up and enter the Xia territory! Recruit local county soldiers for training and guard the country's borders."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Cheng continued to speak:

"The cabinet moved Zhuge Liang, moved to the Ministry of War to serve as Fang Silang, and concurrently served as the judge of the former military governor's mansion. He led more than [-] soldiers and horses in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and quickly transferred to Jiangyang to resist the Xia army's invasion!"

The topography of the two counties of Jiangyang and Xiangzhou is similar to that of Shuhan, and it is still more with less.

Zhuge Liang said, I am familiar with this!

"Follow Your Majesty's imperial decree!" All the ministers shouted in unison when they heard the words.
-
But at this time, Jiang Wei, who was far away in Jiangyang County and shouldered a heavy responsibility, led his Qingqi, detoured Longnan Mansion, and galloped towards Jianzhou of Guangyuan Mansion.

Beside Jiang Wei, a general rode his horse and leaned against him, pointed at the faintly visible crossing ahead, and shouted loudly:

"Lieutenant, the way ahead is the Golden Bull Road. If Xia Jun leads from Xingyuan Mansion to Jianzhou, this is the only way to go!"

When Jiang Wei heard this, his expression was solemn, and he said loudly:
"From Xingyuan Mansion to Jianzhou, the roads are mostly steep mountain trails. Although our army detoured through Longnan Mansion, the roads are smoother, and the fast horses galloping here may not be much slower than Xia Jun!"

Hearing Jiang Wei's words, all the soldiers who came for the hasty march immediately cheered up their spirits and urged their horses to move forward.

The rapid sound of hoofbeats was very loud.

At the crossing in front of him, a few figures could be vaguely seen and disappeared.Seeing this, Jiang Wei's heart suddenly sank.

But when hundreds of fine fast horses passed the crossing and just turned their heads, all the soldiers stared at each other suddenly, and subconsciously reined in their horses to stop, with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

On the road leading to Jianzhou ahead, a newly built military stronghold stood in the way, and the flag of the Xia State was flying, blocking the way of everyone, and the soldiers who were galloping all the way suddenly felt powerless. sense.

"Lieutenant, what should I do..." the general next to him couldn't help but speak.

Jiang Wei's face was ashen, looking at the military camp ahead, the veins on his forehead were exposed.

The military stronghold in front was high, and several generals of the Xia army looked at Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses from a distance, and suddenly smiled.

"Hahaha, sure enough, General Zuo did as expected, the Yun army really has reinforcements coming!"

"With our soldiers and horses here, the Yun army will never go to support Jianzhou!"

"General Zuo is a famous general of our Great Xia. He was stationed in the north before, which made the Yun army proud to run rampant in the southwest. Now that General Zuo is back, he wants to let the people of Yun Kingdom know how powerful our Great Xia soldiers are!"

Before the military stronghold, Jiang Wei led his soldiers and horses to garrison here, staring at the Xia flag flying above the military stronghold, and suddenly shouted:
"I still have a way!"

The general at the side was stunned when he heard the words.

"Lieutenant, do you want to break through Xia Jun's stronghold?"

"The Xia army camp is blocking the road. In addition, the Jinniu road is narrow, and the cavalry is not as powerful as the flat ground. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through by force!"

Without saying a word, Jiang Wei took down the big bow hanging on the horse's back, and buckled the feathered arrow, bending the bow like a full moon.

Only the sound of "咻" piercing the air came out, and the feather arrow shot out immediately.Under the blessing of a ninth-rank master, in an instant, like a meteor piercing the sun, it shot straight into the army camp.

The next moment, the Xia army flag fluttering above the army village was shot by an arrow, and then it was torn off by the deep internal force carried by the arrow body, and then fluttered down.

The generals and soldiers of the Yun army, who were a little discouraged at first, cheered up immediately when they saw Jiang Wei who had shot through the flag of the Xia army with an arrow, and shouted loudly in unison:
"it is good!"

"The captain is good at archery!"

Jiang Wei's face froze slightly, but amidst the applause of the soldiers, he quickly concealed the strangeness on his face.

In fact, he wanted to shoot down the Xia army's flag directly.However, his archery skills can only be considered average...

But when all the soldiers were full of enthusiasm and were about to follow Jiang Wei behind and rush into Xia Jun's stronghold, Jiang Wei suddenly put away his longbow, turned his horse's head around suddenly, and shouted loudly:
"The materials needed by Xia's army are all maintained by the Golden Bull Road behind him. Now Jianzhou is unable to rescue, everyone, please follow me to cut off the enemy's food road. Waiting for the Northern General to lead the army to come, wipe out Xia's army, and fight for this monstrous wealth. !"

Jiang Wei had already shot through the enemy's flag beforehand, and the morale of all the arrogant soldiers had been inspired by him.Coupled with his passionate expression at this time, and the fact that he was attracted by wealth and power, the hearts of all the soldiers were excited and their blood boiled for it.

All the soldiers immediately raised their voices and shouted loudly:
"I wish to follow the school lieutenant to cut off the back road and wipe out Xia's army!"

The sound was high and exciting, echoing under the echoes of the surrounding cliffs, shaking the four directions.

General Xia Jun in the military stronghold, when he heard Yunjun's shouting and breaking into the military stronghold, his expression changed immediately.

Looking at Jiang Wei leading a group of cloud troops in the distance, they immediately turned their horses and rushed in the opposite direction. Several generals of the Xia army suddenly showed eagerness.

"No, this cloud army actually wants to cut off my army's food supply!"

"Are they dying! If there is no other way on the way of the golden bull, if they are flanked by our army, they can only die!"

"There are many people in the Yun army who are brave and fearless. Otherwise, it would be impossible to wipe out all the 10,000+ frontier troops in the southwest of me..."

General Xia Jun, who was leading, couldn't care about anything else at this time, and shouted violently:

"Quickly, quickly mobilize troops to pursue! The army marched in a hurry without carrying too much supplies. If this cloud army destroys more than half of the food and grass in the rear, the forward army can only suspend the offensive. At that time, General Zuo will be furious, and you and I will both To be held accountable!"

Hearing this, a group of Xia troops no longer dared to delay, and immediately led the troops out of the camp, chasing and killing Jiang Wei's troops.

But just after chasing for a few miles, Xia Jun was right in front of him, and suddenly there was a cry of killing.

Holding a long spear, Jiang Wei took the lead and led hundreds of cavalry to charge along this extremely narrow mountain road, barely enough for several horses to walk in parallel.

With awe-inspiring murderous aura, it rushed straight into the sky, and instantly attracted the response from the dark world.A vision of a huge arrow wrapped in bloody light condensed above the head of the cavalry.Lasing comes.

At the same time, cloud energy evaporated from Jiang Wei's body, and the auspicious unicorn appeared, jumping left and right, showing agility.

The previous remarks about cutting off Xia Jun's supply chain were intentionally said just to lure Xia Jun out.Jiang Wei's goal, from beginning to end, was to help Jianzhou!
Xia Jun, who was chasing him, never expected that what Jiang Wei said and did just now was to lure them out on purpose.It was even unexpected that he dared to launch a cavalry charge in such a situation!
Caught off guard, he bumped into the charging cavalry head-on.

The huge power carried by the galloping horses, under the blessing of the vision, even increased by a few points.

There was only a muffled "bang", and Xia Jun at the front was hit by a tall horse, and his whole body made the sound of bones breaking.

Jiang Wei swung the spear freely in his hand, stabbing left and right, and ran amok in Xia Jun's formation, and no one could even block his blow.

"Hold on, give me..."

As soon as General Xia Jun spoke up, he wanted to boost the morale of his soldiers, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Wei shot out.

Under the blessing of deep internal force, a dazzling, thick and unusually thick khaki-yellow brilliance bloomed on the tip of the spear.Before General Xia could even resist, he was stabbed in the chest by Jiang Wei, and died immediately.

Behind Jiang Wei, hundreds of elite cavalry rushed into Xia's formation at the risk of falling into the cliff.

No one can be a horse charging.Iron hooves trampled on flesh and blood, like stepping into mud, and there was a tooth-piercing sound.

Xia Jun's soldiers were powerless to resist, their morale was exhausted, the army formation suddenly became disorganized, retreated to the rear in a panic, and suddenly crowded into one place.In the panic, quite a few soldiers of the Xia army were pushed off the nearby cliff, screamed and fell into the deep valley.

Jiang Wei's expression was determined, and he didn't continue to charge at this time, he slightly reined in his horse, took the Yun army behind him, and just drove the defeated Xia army towards the rear military camp.

More than a thousand Xia soldiers were chaotically driven by Jiang Wei, and fled towards their own army camp like a tide.

The remaining soldiers who stayed in the army camp watched their own soldiers fleeing in embarrassment from a distance. They didn't know why, and before they could make up their minds and close the gate of the army camp, they were completely broken through by the rout.

A gleam of joy flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes, and the spear in his hand pointed forward obliquely, roaring:
"Kill, seize the stronghold!"

As soon as the words fell, he himself jumped out and slammed into Xia Jun's camp.

The next moment, hundreds of cavalry rushed into the camp smoothly, wantonly slaughtering the scattered Xia army.

In the panic, it is unknown which of Jiang Wei's soldiers set the fire on purpose.It was Xia Jun soldiers who unintentionally ignited the camp tents, food and grass and other flammable objects in the camp. The flames rose up, grew bigger and bigger, and finally spread to the entire military camp.

Xia Jun's stronghold, which was originally used to block the reinforcements of the Yun army, was broken by Jiang Wei without even holding it for half a day!
