Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 748 The situation is critical

Han Yu and Han Jushi are the two highest-ranking people in South Korea. One of them is in charge of the court and the other is in charge of the academy. They are the sky and the land of Korea, but now they are frowning at the bad news that keeps coming from all over the world. .

"Jixia Academy took the lead in this matter and let us unite with Zhao State to carve up Qin State. Now that the war has come to this situation, Jixia Academy can't ignore it. We must ask them for help." Han Yu looked at Han Zhoudao.

"The letter asking for help has been sent." Han Zhou said coldly: "But without Mr. Han Changming, my Korean voice in Jixia Academy has been greatly reduced, and Jixia Academy may not respond to us."

"Then ask the Continental Alliance for help." Han Yu said loudly: "The purpose of the establishment of the Continental Alliance is to quell the wars among the nations. Han, Zhao, and Qin are all big countries. Does the Continental Alliance not care about it and allow us to fight among the three parties?"

"Before we joined hands with Zhao to attack Qin, the masters of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy had warned the Continental Alliance that they would not take care of it, and at that time Qin had written to the Continental Alliance, requesting that the Continental Alliance treat Han Zhao and the two countries severely punished the Continental Alliance for not responding to Qin at the time, so let’s go to the Continental Alliance at this time, and the Continental Alliance has no face to show it. It can be said that the road to the Zhao Continental Alliance has been blocked by us.” Han Zhou’s expression was very serious. ugly.

"This won't work, and that won't work, so what should we do now?" Han Yu said angrily.

"Nowadays, only the whole country has been mobilized." Han Zhou said: "From the battle reports on the front line, the Qin army is small in number but they are all elite. In Korea, except for the army guarding the imperial capital, there is hardly any army that can compete with the Qin army. , since the same military strength can't compete with them, then use the numbers to crush them to death. Isn't the Qin army each counting as ten? Then we will use twenty times the strength to deal with them. The comprehensive national strength of my country far exceeds that of Qin. Fighting like this In the war of attrition, Qin is by no means our opponent, and there is another advantage of this, if the casualties on the battlefield are too large, those high-ranking holy sects will never sit idly by, if everyone dies, who will serve them?"

Han Yu took a breath and said, "If the national mobilization order is used, will it be a bit big? We still have 200 million troops among the front-line coalition forces. These people should be enough, right?"

"More than 100 million people are gone in a blink of an eye, how long can the 200 million army resist." Han Zhou said coldly: "Your Majesty, please make an order."

Han Yu looked at Han Zhou, he knew very well what Han Zhou wanted to do by inciting him to use the national mobilization order, but he had no choice. Sitting in this position, many things were beyond his control. If he loses, he will be the emperor to the end, but if he uses all the power of the whole country to fight against Qin, he will have to play even if he loses too much by defeating Qin. Han Zhou and others did not give him any chance to choose.

Clenching his fists, Han Yu said coldly: "Where is Shi Gandang? Because of him, Master Han Changming is dead, so we can't keep him, he has to be buried with him."

A strangeness flashed in Han Zhou's eyes, he shook his head and said, "This person cannot be killed."

"Why can't you kill him?" Han Yu said angrily, "I was going to kill him last time, but you stopped him. It's just a general. To save you, it's fine if you don't kill him. But now this person is in Hangu again." Guan lost millions of troops, and even killed our hero Han Changming, how can we keep him."

"He was spotted by the people above." Han Zhou hesitated, pointed to the top of his head, and said: "The reason why Han Changming died on the battlefield to protect him is also because of this reason. Before the big man above said anything, No matter what trouble Shi Gandang caused, he can't touch him."

Han Yu angrily overturned all the things on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "This person had better not cause me any trouble, otherwise, even if there are noble people behind him to help, I will kill him! "

After a pause, Han Yu directly called the eunuch in charge and said, "I have something to announce to all the ministers!"

Soon, the news that South Korea mobilized the whole country to fight against Qin spread throughout South Korea, and all the Koreans were shocked. The national mobilization order is a great thing in all countries, and it is not allowed to act rashly until the country is alive or dead. , Now South Korea has invoked a national mobilization order because of the mere state of Qin, and all Koreans seem to know for the first time the small border country around them that they have never seen before.

At the same time, Zhao Guo increased his troops by 200 million and brazenly sent troops to Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass.

"Report, the 500 million Han-Zhao coalition forces have already arrived at Hanshui City, less than two hundred miles away from Hanjiang City. The Han-Zhao coalition forces are coming in menacingly. Whether to open all defenses in the city in advance, I ask the general to decide."

"Report, Your Majesty has led an army of 50 troops to ten miles outside the city, and the eunuchs have arrived at Hangu Pass, and all generals are invited to welcome them."

Wang Jian listened to the reports of the two scouts, then looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Everyone, go out and meet Your Majesty first."

"Yes."

The gate of Hangu Pass was suddenly opened. Wang Jian led more than 10 generals of Hangu Pass and tens of thousands of troops to line up outside Hangu Pass, waiting for Wang Mang's arrival. Wang Mang's army marched very fast, Wang Jian and others opened the door In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Mang's vanguard army set up camp a few miles outside Hangu Pass. Afterwards, [-] people in Wang Mang's central army marched forward slowly with flags unfurled, and soon arrived in front of Hangu Pass.

"Your Majesty, I will see you, Long live Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian and tens of thousands of people knelt down at the same time, shouting long live to Wang Mang three times, and the voices of Hangu Pass soldiers echoed all over Hangu Pass.

Li Lan stepped into the sky and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree. The soldiers of the three armies are all ministers of meritorious service. The imperial court will reward them greatly. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Wang Jian led tens of thousands of people to shout at the same time, and then stood up. The tens of thousands of people brought out by Wang Jian were all young men with tall, big, handsome faces, standing outside Hangu Pass like an elite soldier. Standing outside the city, Wang Mang stepped out of the cart. Seeing these soldiers, he couldn't help but nodded and glanced at Li Lan. Li Lan said: "Your Majesty has an order. Please Wang Jian and other generals come to discuss matters."

Wang Jian and other generals soon arrived at Wang Mang's tent. When Wang Mang saw Wang Jian, he asked, "What is the movement of the Han-Zhao coalition forces now?"

Wang Jian then reported to Wang Mang the news that 500 million Han-Zhao coalition troops had appeared in Hanshui City, only 200 miles away from Hangu Pass. Wang Mang frowned slightly and said, "How many people are there in Guanzhong now?"

"Now there are 20 guards at Hangu Pass, General Li Guang has 50 elite soldiers, and another 80 elite soldiers are watching the more than 500 Korean and Zhao coalition troops who surrendered in the First World War in Hanjiang City." Including the [-] troops brought by His Majesty, the actual defenders at Hangu Pass are only [-], which is a bit small when facing the Han-Zhao coalition army of [-] million."

Wang Mang nodded, called Li Lan, and said, "Ask where Wang Jitang's troops are."

"Yes." Li Lan led the order out.

Wang Mang looked at Wang Jian again and said: "Arrange these 50 people to enter the city first. You are familiar with the generals of these people. They are all your old comrades-in-arms and old subordinates. You can arrange them directly and tell me afterwards. The rest Things, let's go to the city to talk."

As Wang Mang said, he called in a few generals who accompanied the army and asked them to meet up with the guards at Hangu Pass. Wang Yi and Deng Zhong arranged to march towards Hangu Pass gradually, while Wang Mang and Wang Jian and others entered. After arriving at Hangu Pass, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were already waiting in the city. When they saw Wang Mang, they greeted Wang Mang first, and then Li Guang said, "Your Majesty, I heard the news. , They are not afraid that all of these 500 million people will fall here and cause domestic turmoil.”

"There is no way, Han and Zhao are both big countries in the Central Plains, and their comprehensive national strength far exceeds that of Qin. Using 500 million people can't hurt their foundation, but if Qin wants to use so many people, I'm afraid it will also use more than half of its national power. "Wang Mang shook his head and said: "I have already heard that the Korean Emperor Han Yu issued a national mobilization order to recruit all men over the age of 16 from all of Korea to join the army. Han Yu will not stop until he overthrows our Qin State in this battle!" "

"Your Majesty, my Great Qin has God's blessing, and South Korea will be punished by God for going against the law." Wang Jian said seriously: "Only my Great Qin has such a holy son as His Majesty, can the country last forever."

"God's punishment?" Wang Mang chuckled, looked at Cheng Bushi and said, "Although that Shi Gandang is not dead, I heard that you and Huo Qubing killed Han Changming, and this Han Changming is a big shot in South Korea. The national strength has been reduced by less than half, so it is no wonder that after he was killed, Han Yu red-eyed issued a national mobilization order."

"It's a pity that Shi Gandang ran away again." Cheng Bushi said: "But General Huo Qubing has already gone after him. If General Huo Qubing personally takes action, then Shi Gandang will offer his head sooner or later."

"It's okay." Wang Mang waved his hand, looked left and right and said, "The saints of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy calculated that Shi Gandang's luck is inexplicably connected with my Daqin's luck, so it is determined that Shi Gandang is The destined enemy of my Daqin will bring unparalleled damage to my Daqin. I admit this enemy, but this damage is a bit nonsense. In addition to sending military merits and equipment, he has won us for a while, if I want to tell you, it doesn’t matter if Shi Gan is killed or not, let him be the captain of our transportation team.”

Transportation captain?
Wang Mang's nickname for Shi Gandang fell into the ears of the generals, everyone was stunned, and then Wang Jian laughed first: "Your Majesty, this nickname for Shi Gandang is good, it is appropriate and incisive, and it perfectly sums up Shi Gandang's great love for us. With such a transportation captain, our Daqin soldiers don’t have to worry about the weapons they need to go to the battlefield. In my opinion, don’t call Shi Gan a waste in the future, just call him the transportation captain.”

With Wang Jian taking the lead, Wang Mang gave Shi Gandang a nickname and soon got the approval of all the Qin generals. When this nickname was later spread to Shi Gandang's ears, Shi Gandang almost fainted. The trash is even more ruthless. With this nickname, no matter which big shot wants to use him in the future, he should think carefully about it, but that's for another story.

Li Lan came in to report at this time: "Your Majesty, Wang Jitang's 20 troops will be able to resist Hangu Pass as soon as tomorrow."

"How far is he from Hangu Pass?" Wang Mang asked.

"More than 100 miles." Li Lan said: "After General Wang Jitang received His Majesty's imperial edict, he immediately led his troops to Hangu Pass. There was no delay along the way. They marched all the way in a hurry. They planned to take a rest today and show up in the best condition tomorrow. At Hangu Pass."

"It's not about going on an outing. If you want to be in the best condition, send someone to tell him, just as I said, if his troops don't arrive tonight, he won't use them tomorrow." Wang Mang said indifferently.

Li Lan nodded quickly, and then quickly ordered someone to convey the emperor's will to Wang Jitang's army. Wang Jitang accepted the order in fear and fear without asking, and then the whole army continued to rush towards Hangu Pass. As a former rebel general, Although Wang Mang and the court officials have now accepted Wang Jitang, Wang Jitang is still cautious, that is [-]% to complete the task assigned by Wang Mang.

Wang Mang called Li Lan again, and said, "Go and tell Wang Yongji to come to Hangu Pass as soon as possible. Hasn't Zhuge Yu already arrived in Chang'an? Tell him to hand over the work quickly. I want to see him and the 50 men he recruited as soon as possible." , The situation here at Hangu Pass is so critical, I don’t have time to let him waste time in Chang’an, tell him that he was the one who came to Hangu Pass crying and shouting, if he doesn’t want to come now, then don’t come.”

"Yes." Li Lan hurriedly ran out to order someone to deliver the decree.

Wang Mang looked at Wang Jian and said, "If you add Wang Jitang's 20 troops, Hangu Pass will have a full 100 million army. Such an army is already equivalent to one-third of our Great Qin's military strength. Natural danger, can you hold it?"

"Based on the original city defense of Hangu Pass, frankly speaking, unless a small half of the one million people are strong men under the command of General Li Guang, Hangu Pass must not be able to defend." Wang Jian said: "But I heard Cheng is not General Zhi and the city defense of my Hangu Pass have been greatly improved, as for the city defense, it depends on what General Cheng Bushi has to say."

Cheng Buzhi said directly: "If the opponent is an ordinary army of 500 million, then the city defense of Hangu Pass is enough for 100 million people to defend for 500 days, but if there are some special characters among the [-] million people, the defense of Hangu Pass The city defense is not very safe, and we are still somewhat lacking in military strength."

"I heard that the straight road has been built, can you send some soldiers and horses from Yunzhong City in the northwest." Wang Jian said.

"No." Wang Mang shook his head directly and said: "On the grassland, King Zuoxian died in battle in Yunzhong City, Tiemu Town held the Overlord Bow in the eastern grassland with ambitions, and the four major tribes of the grassland are also ready to move. The entire eastern grassland is like a gunpowder barrel at this moment. It will explode at one o'clock, and we must leave enough soldiers and horses in Yunzhong City, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no red-eyed grassland forces coming to Daqin to find a bargaining chip to turn around."

"Then can we use the South Conquest Army?" Wang Jian said again: "The South Conquest Army has 50 people. If they are mobilized, it will ease the pressure on us a lot."

"It doesn't work either." Wang Mang said: "The goal of the Southern Conquest Army is the Kingdom of Shu. If we can take down the Kingdom of Shu, our Great Qin will never have a shortage of supplies. This is the foundation of our Great Qin for thousands of years. There must be no mistakes, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, let me think about it carefully."
