Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 478 Yun Country Accompanies the Capital, and Xunyang County is Shrouded in Battle Clouds
In the land of Jiangzhou County, the water flows along the north, taking Jianghan outside, and the Yangtze River running through.

Internally obstructed by mountains, there are Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain in the east, Wuling Mountain in the south, Dahong Mountain in the north, Wushan Mountain and Daba Mountain in the west.

Among them is the Hanjiang Plain, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, and rich scholars and people, enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Under the rule of Xiazhou City, Xiangzhou is the strongest city in the world. According to this, you can look north to the prosperous land of the Central Plains.

Jiangzhou City spies on the southeast, based on which the Yangtze River will be guarded, and the tiger will watch the Sihuai River.

And Jiangling City, which was selected as the accompanying capital of Yun Kingdom, naturally has its own unique features!
It occupies Han and Mian in the north, extends to the South China Sea, connects Xia Guojiangnan in the east, and connects Jiangyang and Anshun counties in the west.

Today's Emperor Yun aims at unifying the world.Now that the process has not passed halfway, it is still too early to choose a new capital city.

However, based on the current situation, if you want to continue to use troops against Xia Guo, choosing Jiangling City as the accompanying capital is the most appropriate!
After two years of continuous repairs and construction, the scale of Jiangling City has expanded several times.

In the newly built palace city, there are many palaces and pavilions, majestic, solemn, majestic and majestic, showing majesty and magnificence.

Because Jiangling City's status as the accompanying capital of the Cloud Kingdom was confirmed, in just two years, the population in the city became more and more prosperous, and it even had the bearing of Zhongqing City, which was very prosperous and affluent.

[Purple Ceka, Accompanying Capital System

Card effect: After use, you can set up a companion capital.A city established as a companion capital, popular support +10.Within three years, the capital's population and business will increase by 30% per year.A maximum of five companion capitals can be set up. For each companion capital, the rate of famous officials +1%, the rate of natural disasters -1%, the imperial prestige +5, and the probability of rebellion decreases.

Card description: Although the capital of Qin Dynasty is Guanzhong, it still imitates the system of Zhou Dongdu, and built a palace in Luoyang. 】

Under the effect of Zi Ceka [accompanied capital system], this actually complied with the phrase "a gathering in one year, a city in two years, and Chengdu in three years". In a short period of time, Jiangling City has its due Metropolis weather!

But today, in the formerly bustling Jiangling City, it seemed a little deserted.

Tens of thousands of elite imperial troops poured into the city, dispersed the people on the main streets, and strictly guarded the vital points.

The masters of the East Factory, Sticking Pole Office, Criminal Department, and Dali Temple are constantly patrolling to monitor any suspicious people.

But the most eye-catching thing among this group of masters from the Yunguo imperial court was the strange beast that was drawn by someone, whose stature was comparable to that of a tall war horse!

The dragon head, deer body, dragon scales, tail hair stretch like a dragon's tail, four thick hooves, and a mighty figure.

Just looking at its physical features, it is very similar to the legendary auspicious unicorn!
But if you take a closer look, you can see that there is a single horn on the top of its head, and black hair on its body. Its eyes are wide open, bright and energetic, with a sharp color, and there is a slight difference from the legendary auspicious beast.

At this time, this strange beast was led by someone. When it came to an alley, it stopped suddenly and roared towards the deep alley ahead.

His low growl sound was deep and powerful, just like a grand bell, which made people's minds shake and gave off a sense of awe-inspiring.

Seeing this situation, the leading court masters immediately tightened their expressions, and with a sudden wave of their hands, dozens of high-level warriors rushed into the deep alley.

In the courtyard in the alley, there was a sound of fighting immediately.

But in a short while, the high-ranking fighters who rushed into it came out with bloody blades, bowed their hands to the leader, and said:

"My lord, the Xia Kingdom Embroidered Clothes Envoy has seven envoys, intending to harass the officials and cause chaos. At this time, they have all been taken down!"

The leader nodded slightly, and then led a group of people to salute the strange beast, saying respectfully:
"Thank God sheep!"

The head of the strange beast was raised slightly, and a flash of agility flashed in its wide-open eyes, and it patrolled forward again.

This strange beast called "God Sheep" is the auspicious beast "Kirin" presented by Wen Tiren back then.

At that time, whether it was Xiao Cheng or the civil and military officials in the court, after seeing it, they all thought it was the auspicious unicorn, the symbol of benevolence and morality in the legend!

Xiao Cheng raised it in the palace, but as it grew up, the fleshy horn on the top of this "unicorn" became sharper and straighter.Black hair has also grown all over his body, which is quite different from the unicorn beast in scale armor.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng realized something was wrong.

What kind of auspicious beast is this unicorn? It is obviously the legendary beast Xiechi who can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyal and evil!
And Shenyang is another name for Xiezhi.

As a divine beast born with the aura of heaven and earth, it has its own special miraculous features.

As in the myth, Xiezhi has a special ability to perceive someone's character, to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyal and evil.

If there is a fight, it will come forward to stop it, and then use its horn to knock the person who started the fight to the ground, which is quite miraculous!
Today's Jiangling City, internal and external security, must not make any mistakes.

Just in case, it was Cheng Bushi, who is now in charge of the defense of the accompanying capital, to come forward in person and invite this beast, which is raised by His Majesty, to check whether there are any people with ulterior motives in the city.

In just a few days after this invitation, Xiezhi has already helped the various yamen, arrested dozens of people with malicious intentions, and won the respect of everyone, and the usual address for Xiezhi has also become the respectful title of "God Sheep".

When the city was still patrolling, fearing that there would be any mistakes, a group of local civil and military officials, led by Cheng Bushi, Zhang Zhao, Yan Song and others, waited in front of the city gate early.

With such a big battle, it is obvious that Shengjia arrived today!
On the straight road in the distance, there is a mighty guard of honor, surrounded by the elite of the imperial army, coming in mighty form.

Yulu, which symbolizes the majesty of the emperor, is in the middle of the team.In the rear, there are still a large number of Baiguan frames that can't be seen at a glance, and they are extremely imposing, showing their majesty.

This time Xiao Cheng led hundreds of officials out of Zhongqing City, but some local officials cleared up the local bandits in advance, and Yang Zaixing, the mighty Huwei General who is famous for his bravery and mighty power, even went along the way and wiped out all disobedient forces.

Therefore, the journey this time seemed to be particularly smooth, and it didn't take long to arrive at the capital of the Yun Kingdom, Jiangling City!
Seeing the arrival of His Majesty, all the civil and military personnel in Jiangling City immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted:
"The ministers bow down to His Majesty, and respectfully wish His Majesty peace!"

Feng Bao pushed open the door of Yu Huan's car, revealing Xiao Cheng who was wearing a crowned imperial robe and sitting in it.

"My lords, please be free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked them first, and then they stood up and bowed their bodies to listen to the holy news.

Xiao Cheng paused, then said in a deep voice:
"Zhenyi has arrived here, and martial law is required everywhere in the city. The lives of the people must be greatly affected, and it will be very inconvenient. All the officials have worked hard all the way, and they are tired now. Let's skip the etiquette and go directly to the palace!"

Hearing what His Majesty said today, all the ministers hurriedly bowed again and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Respectfully, Your Majesty, enter the Jiangdu Imperial Palace."

After all, all the officials quickly moved out of the way, and Cheng Bushi, the governor of the Chinese army, led the way personally, leading His Majesty to the newly built Jiangdu Imperial Palace.

Yu Lun drove again, Xiao Cheng watched the street scene of Jiangling City outside through the car window, and said in a deep voice:

"We've already arrived in Jiangling..."

Arriving at Jiangling City means that the war that has been suspended for more than two years will start again!
But this time, they had already occupied Jiangzhou County, and they had been preparing for two full years for Yunguo, pointing their sword at Jinling City, the capital of Xiaguo.At this time, Xiao Cheng had already conceived the idea of ​​attacking the capital of the Xia Kingdom and destroying the Yu Clan's Ancestral Temple! ——
Xia Guo, Xunyang County, Qichang Mansion.

At this time, Qichang Mansion, with Yun Kingdom occupying Jiangzhou County, and after Xia's army retreated, has become the forefront of the border between Yunxia and Xia!

Less than a hundred miles upstream of Qichang Mansion is Dazhi Mansion in Jiangzhou County of Yunguo.Even standing on top of the city of Qichang Mansion, one can clearly see the Yunguo navy who is constantly practicing on the river not far away.

In the past two years since the war has subsided, the clouds of war are still densely covered here, and there is no slack in the slightest.

But at this time, in the Xia Army camp in Qichang Mansion, a group of Xia Army generals gathered in the commander's tent in a hurry.

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, the front-line scouts came to report that the Yunjun camp has changed, and it seems that there are soldiers in use!"

"Commander, there is also news from Panlong water stronghold. The Yunguo navy has also made moves. All the ships left the water army camp and came downstream!"

"Oh, I've been peaceful for two years, why is there a sudden movement now!"

"Could it be that Yunjun has placed an undercover agent in our army? Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that Yunjun suddenly made a big move just after dispatching three thousand elites!"

At this time, the generals were constantly discussing, and many veteran generals who had experienced the battlefield could not help showing panic when they heard that the Yun army was transferred at this time!

There is really no way, the commander of the Yun army stationed in the upper reaches of the Qichang Mansion was the right army of the Yun State who wiped out tens of thousands of Xia Guo's elite southwest frontier army in the first battle of Rongcheng, and thus shocked the world, making Xia Jun feel terrified. The governor of the governor's mansion, Qujinghou Wu Zixu!
Even though Wu Zixu is not the most capable general among the generals of the Yun Army.But he is undoubtedly the one who has the strongest deterrent effect on Xia Guo!
Hearing the discussion in the handsome tent, the panic continued to pervade, the tall figure standing in front of the handsome tent leader, with his hands behind his back, suddenly coughed lightly.

All the generals of the Xia army, who were still panicked at first, looked at the figure in unison at this time, and the panic in their hearts calmed down a little.

Liao Gu, who was granted the title of Marquis of Hanchuan by Xia Guoqin and General Liyi, turned around slowly and glanced at the generals calmly.

In the originally chaotic handsome tent, it was completely calm.

Speaking of this Hanchuan Marquis Liao Gu, he is also a well-known figure in Xia Guojun today!
In the first battle of Rongcheng, it was under his command that hundreds of thousands of elite frontier troops were wiped out by Wu Zixu.

Because of this battle, Liao Gu's reputation was ruined and he was dismissed from the military.

I thought that after this, Liao Gu was hopeless.

But he never thought that in just one year after that, he transformed himself into a hero of the Xia Kingdom who turned the tide and defeated the cloud general Wu Zixu several times.

Today's Liao Gu, after the Xia army retreated from Jiangzhou City, was ordered to gather and rectify the troops, take full control of the defense of Nanyang County and Xunyang County, and face the soldiers of Yun General Wu Zixu. It can be said that he is already the backbone of Xia Kingdom today!

Seeing all the generals shut up and bowed their heads, Liao Gu said decisively:

"Although I don't know that Yun Jun is pretending to attack today, just to tease us, or planted and bought the traitor. But the current situation, we really can't be careless!"

"Immediately give an order to move the commander's banner to the front line. This commander must personally lead the guards and horses to guard the front line, so as not to let the Yun army move an inch!"

"In addition, dispatch three thousand troops to reinforce the Panlong Water Village. Immediately light the beacon fire to warn the water villages along the river. We must prevent the Yunjun Navy from going down the river!"

Compared with the performance of the generals just now, Liao Gu's determination and courage at this time is very eye-catching and convincing.

The generals of the Xia Army, who were still flustered, cheered up one after another at this time. They all bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice:
"The last general is waiting, obey the order!"

After finishing speaking, all the generals immediately turned around, quickly walked out of the commander's tent, and went to rectify their respective troops and horses.

And after everyone had left, about half a cup of tea passed, several personal guards walked quickly into the commander's tent without any communication.

And when he saw the person directly breaking into the handsome tent, Liao Gu not only did not get angry at this time, but his straight back collapsed, and the calm and resolute expression on his face changed into anxiety and panic, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth to ask. road:
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly send troops here!"

Hearing Liao Gu's inquiry, these guards at the sticky pole, who were dressed as Xia Jun's personal soldiers, cupped their hands slightly and said:
"My lord, don't panic, it's just an act."

"Because of the turmoil in the four prefectures of Xia State Qidi and Hailing County in the southeast, it is already necessary to send troops back from the front line. This matter is not a secret. At this time, I, Yun Kingdom, should deliberately try it out!"

Although Xia Kingdom's frontline soldiers and horses were mobilized, it seemed transparent to Yun Kingdom.Not to mention that the frontline coach Liao Gu was directly placed by Yun Guo.

But if this is the case, if Yunguo doesn't send troops to test it, then it will appear that the reaction is abnormal.

But in order not to avoid Xia Guo's suspicion, that's why today's sudden troop dispatch happened.

Hearing this, Liao Gu finally let out a sigh of relief, and then said with lingering fear:
"In the future, this kind of thing should be explained earlier."

Hearing this, the guard at the sticky pole smiled slightly and said confidently:

"In this battle, Marquis Qujing will still fight back. This time, I deliberately took the opportunity to give you a credit..."

Having said that, the guard at the sticky pole paused, and continued:
"In short, it won't be long before the adults don't need to worry so much, ha ha."

Hearing this, Liao Gu couldn't help but froze.

Obviously, this sentence is already telling Liao Gu that the battle between Yun and Xia is really about to happen!

Facing the well-prepared and sharp-edged Yunjun, who even knew all kinds of situations on the Xia Kingdom's front line like the back of their hands, the upcoming battle must be sweeping like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves...
