Chapter 375 Veteran Liu Zhengxian (Eighth)
Liu Zhengxian, who was far away in the border military camp, didn't know that he had been targeted, and he was watching the sand table in front of him.
This is a detailed sand table in the entire Guanzhong area and the outer grassland area. It was his years of hard work to explore every river, every mountain, and every path clearly.
It is precisely because of this sand table that he helped him repel the attacks of the alien race again and again.
But even so, they can only passively defend several key points. As for those border people, they are often plagued by foreign races and are suffering.
There is no way, everyone in the grassland is good at riding and shooting, and even women have excellent riding skills, which can be called a nation on horseback.
The light cavalry formed by horsepower walks like the wind, coming and going freely, and there is no way to defend perfectly unless a Great Wall is built like the Immortal Qin Empire.
But the manpower and material resources required are astronomical. Not to mention the current Southern Ming Kingdom, even the Ming Dynasty did not have that national strength.
"It's a turbulent time!"
After looking at the sand table all night, Liu Zhengfeng pinched his nose bridge, picked up the cold tea next to him and drank it to refresh himself.
This time the problem is very big. The two major aliens in the west and north of the Guanzhong area have been very disturbed. If they really want to raise troops, the scale will probably be more than 500,000. It will be difficult to block it with the strength in their hands.
Not to mention that there were problems in the country. Fortunately, Princess Yunluo promised to provide enough military pay and food, so that they would not let them fight alone.
"It's all caused by that imperial master!"
A burly man in armor on the side muttered dissatisfiedly, as border soldiers, they naturally knew where the crisis came from.
The main reason is that the emergence of Huashan Academy threatened the monopoly of the gentry and tyrants over their knowledge, and then those people secretly colluded with the aliens on the grassland and prepared to kill someone with a knife.
Now that Huashan Academy has to deal with the things that are caused by it, how can we not be resentful?
"Do you think that guy Ru Zhigang did something wrong?"
Liu Zhengxian looked at his son Liu Meng with a smile. Although this son did not have much talent in military tactics, he was amazingly brave and was a powerful general who charged into battle.
Especially after Princess Yunluo sent someone to send two martial arts skills, including Longyin Iron Clothing Shirt and Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover, her son practiced quickly and made great progress, and her strength was greatly improved, and her effect on the battlefield was also stronger.
After introducing the Dragon Roar Iron Clothing Shirt and Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover into the army, not only the soldiers' physical fitness has been greatly improved, but even the soldiers are amazingly brave and can be called powerful generals.
This is also one of the reasons and confidence that he has been here until now.
Those two sets of external skills are indeed very suitable for the army. They are much better than the simple iron cloth shirts in the past. Not only is the threshold for cultivation lower, but they consume very few resources. At most, they will make the soldiers eat a little more, especially the demand for meat.
However, with the sufficient food and grass supported by Princess Yunluo, and the Yellow River backed, it can catch a large number of fish, which can support it.
"The boy didn't say what he did wrong, but he did not do well, so we were not prepared at all."
Liu Meng scratched his head. His mind was not stupid, so he naturally knew the meaning of Huashan Academy. After all, their family was born as a civilian.
Although his father Liu Zhengxian was from the imperial examination, he had no support from the border army, and then improved his skills and finally took the position of chief general at the age of 70.
Living conditions have not been very good since childhood. Liu Meng naturally understood the importance of knowledge, which was the only way for them to turn things around.
The establishment of Huashan Academy is of great significance, which is to open the way for them. As a member of the civilians, Liu Meng naturally supported them.
But Huashan Academy rose too suddenly, and they were caught off guard.
"We are not prepared here, and others are not able to prepare at the same time, so we are evenly divided!"
After laughing, he poured a cup of tea and drank it. Liu Zhengxian didn't care about the suddenness of the rise of Huashan Academy. They were opening up an unprecedented path, a path that had long been blocked by countless powerful people.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed into the main tent and said anxiously: "General, Princess Yunluo led an army of 100,000, and was stationed on the east bank of the Yellow River, across the bank from us. The princess personally brought people across the river, and now she is almost at the entrance of the camp.
"Here comes finally!"
"Follow me to go out to the camp to welcome His Highness the Princess!"
Sighing, Liu Zhengxian stood up and walked out.
Although he did not agree with Yun Luo's practice of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, the other party was indeed the sister of the late emperor. During his lifetime, the late emperor even named him the eldest princess and had an extraordinary status.
Moreover, the new emperor Zhu ignored the wrong position, and he also disapproved.
Compared with the two, I have a more favorable impression of Yunluo.
Liu Zhengxian led a group of generals to wait outside the camp. From a distance, he saw a group of people riding horses quickly approaching. The first one was wearing golden armor and carrying a square sky painting halberd. It was the Southern Empress Yunluo!
"Welcome to His Highness the Princess!"
When Yunluo and others drove their horses to the front, Liu Zhengxian knelt on one knee to greet him.
But before Liu Zhengxian could kneel down, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and held his arms.
"Gen. Liu, please get up quickly!"
Yunluo respects this stubborn and stubborn veteran general. When he was in the palace, he heard the emperor's brother mention this veteran general many times.
This is a loyal and loyal general who truly serves the country and the people. It is precisely because of this that the emperor's brother took the opportunity to promote him to the chief general of this border army.
"I never thought that Your Highness was still a martial arts master."
Liu Zhengxian was surprised. He didn't even see clearly how Yun Luo got off the horse and arrived in front of him. It was too fast!
You should know that his cultivation is not weak, and his internal strength has reached the acquired realm level. Even if he is placed in the world, he is considered a strong man.
I have heard of this eldest princess who loves martial arts before, but I didn't expect that she was so powerful.
"Just a little trick, how can the old general have the ability to compete with ten thousand enemies?"
He smiled modestly, Yunluo's family knew his family affairs. Although he was good at strength, he was very average in military tactics, let alone leading troops to fight.
It is precisely because of this that she attaches more importance to Liu Zhengxian.
She now needs such a loyal and righteous old general to assist.
"Liu Magan, I have been standing for so long, so you don't say hello."
Ru Zhigang, who was standing aside, cursed with laughter and said that he had some friendship with Liu Zhengfeng back then, but Liu Zhengfeng later went to the border army and no contact.
"Who are you……"
He looked up in surprise and felt a little familiar with the burly giant man, but he just couldn't remember who the other person was.
Logically speaking, this person is so burly and tall, especially his arms are simply inhumane. If I had seen him before, it would be impossible for him not to remember him.
Moreover, Liu Magan was a nickname when he was young. At that time, he was very thin and like a magan, so he was laughed at by his acquaintances as Liu Magan.
"Have you forgotten the Qingyuelou Conference? I am three places better than you."
He smiled proudly and said that Ru Zhigang was always proud of the conference on the Moral Treatment of Ethics. It was precisely because of the conference on the Moral Treatment of Ethics formed by young scholars that his name of great virtue spread throughout the capital and the emperor praised it.
