Chapter 169: Enduring the vicissitudes of life(2/2)
The people of Zhao State directly and openly regarded being an official in Qi as their ideal and becoming a Qi person as their goal in life.
This is by no means a shabby thing in Zhao State.
Even the leader of Zhao State himself wrote many times and persistently requested to be incorporated into the territory of Qi State.
In the letter of credence delivered to Qi State, the leader of Zhao State called himself Zhaohou and did not dare to call himself king. He expressed his willingness to give up his dragon robe and become a hereditary marquis of the Qi Empire. He was willing to cultivate hundreds of acres of land for the Emperor of Qi and make
Emperor Qi eats his own vegetables... he burst into tears when he wrote the book...
Emperor Qi refused on the grounds that the old Yang ancestral temple should not be abandoned.
Some time ago, the Ping Dynasty revealed that one of their three top leaders was called "King Zhao".
The leader of the State of Zhao was so frightened that he wrote to Emperor Qi all night, confessing his innocence. He asked Qi Ting to send someone to Zhao State to investigate and verify his innocence, and to clear his name. He also urgently summoned the ministers to discuss changing the name of the country immediately to avoid unreasonable disaster.
Finally, Emperor Qi wrote a special letter to appease him, saying that "Zhao" is a name of honor, and the old Yang Zhengshuo should not be abandoned lightly. Also, how could the dragon and the tiger change their paths for the snake and the rat?
Only in this way can the storm be calmed down.
Jiang Wang once lived as a hermit in this country. Just because he spoke with a Linzi accent, he received very warm hospitality from the store.
Now when you cross the border, there won't be any accidents.
Except for the drunkenness, except for the misty clouds, there is nothing to say.
All the way high in the sky there were glimpses, and occasionally there was the sound of thunder.
Some ordinary people accidentally saw it and thought of it as an immortal.
…
…
After passing Yangdi without entering Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang went straight to Qidu.
When the three hundred miles of Linzi City appeared in sight, he suddenly felt a sense of dependence.
His title, his name, his official position and his connections are all closely related to this great city.
It was certainly a choice that I did not regret when I left my important position as Captain of Bei Yamen.
His experience in Chu State in the mountains and seas was also exciting enough. He did not lead anything, but he witnessed a wonderful chapter.
This time he returned after traveling around the world. When he saw Linzi City, he truly realized that he had struggled here for too long and experienced too much. He had established a deep bond with this city.
Living in Linzi is not easy.
And he, Jiang Qingyang, seemed to be from this place.
…
…
A letter was sent to the Military Hall asking for the expedition to Xia, and the emperor approved it.
The entire Qi State has been mobilized, including Dao Yuan Stone, food and grass, intelligence, negotiations with other countries along the way...there are so many things involved.
But once the determination to fight is lost, it is difficult for the flood to change its course.
Overnight, swords and guns came out of the warehouse, and the soldiers were like a forest.
But before leaving for summer, there is still one most important question -
Who should be the commander-in-chief of the three armies in this battle against Xia?
Qi's hegemony was new, and it was the last country among the six hegemonic countries to achieve hegemony.
Many famous generals in the world who have proven themselves in previous wars are still in the army. There are not a few who are qualified to lead large armies.
However, the Xia Kingdom has its special significance after all, and its power should not be ignored.
Back then, Qi and Xia were fighting for hegemony. Today, the Emperor of Qi is driving his troops to conquer personally. What is Chongxuan Yunbo, Chongxuan Chu Liang, Chongxuan Mingshan, Chongxuan Minghe... What is Yan Ping, what is Jiang Mengxiong, what is Yan Tu, what is Yang Jiande, what is Tian Xili
...all in the formation.
Gathering generals and ants, ants gathered their talents, raised the army of the whole country, and crippled the Xia Kingdom, which at that time spanned the two regions in the southeast.
Since the war in the 38th year of Yuanfeng's reign to quell the Loulan Gong rebellion in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qi never wore armor in person again.
Of course, the current Xia Kingdom is no longer worthy of the Emperor Qi's personal campaign.
Ordinarily, since the Emperor of Qi is not out, the coach of Faxia should not think of anyone other than Jiang Mengxiong, the God of the Qi Army.
The Grand Marshal of Zhenguo did indeed write a letter asking for war.
Needless to say, Jiang Mengxiong's honor and ability are unparalleled. He has invincible extraordinary power and uses troops like a god. He is the well-deserved number one in the army.
But at the same time, there were three other people who asked for a fight.
These three people all have extraordinary weight.
One is Cao Jie, the commander of the Spring Death Army, the other is Chu Liang, the new real person and fierce butcher Zhongxuan, and the other is Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prisoner of Lightning Army.
These three people are also talented enough to command an army of millions. They are in charge of the most elite nine-soldier force in the Qi Empire, and their military skills are beyond doubt.
Cultivation is not a problem. If they were to take charge of the army, Qi Ting would naturally send another strong person from the Yan Dao to suppress the army.
Therefore, the choice of coach of Faxia is actually still up for grabs.
Among them, Cao Jiu was the most stable in using troops, and was what Emperor Qi called "the best warrior in the world." No matter how many troops were given to him, there was basically no possibility of problems, and of course it was difficult to see a quick victory.
There are always voices that think he can only fight stupidly and stupidly.
However, under the guise of Wanyan Xionglue's identity, he killed Qi Hong, a famous general of the Sheng Kingdom, and helped the Mu Kingdom capture Liyuan City, which also showed the versatility of his military style.
He is truly an all-around handsome man who can compete with the God of War just by using his troops.
Chu Liang, the fierce massacrer who had conquered Xia for the first time that year, was very familiar with the situation in Xia. This factor was very crucial in the competition for the head coach of Xia.
And although he is not as versatile as Cao Jiu, nor is he "the best in the world in terms of military use" than Jiang Mengxiong, his military sharpness is unique and difficult to match in the world.
In this kind of war to destroy a country, he can win the situation as quickly as possible. For example, the battle to destroy Yang that made him a marquis was almost devastating. He defeated the resistance of Yang Kingdom in the shortest time and did not give Yang to the last emperor of Yang Kingdom.
If Jiande has a chance, he will be killed in the midst of thousands of troops.
He was promoted to Dongzhen with the strength of the number one god in the Eastern Region. In the first battle to prove Dongzhen, he pointed his sword at the first elder of Diaohailou, Chongguang Zhenren.
Regardless of momentum, intention, or strength, he is at the peak of his life. Use him at this time, and your military will be at its peak.
And Xiuyuan...
His close friend Yan Tu, the commander of the Zhan Yu Army, was confirmed to be a spy for the Ping Dynasty last year and died after being hacked to pieces. He himself also spent time in prison.
Now we need a war to prove ourselves.
Of course, everyone knows that he is just showing his attitude and coming to run with him. It is impossible for him to prove himself in such a big event as the summer expedition.
Although Xiu Yuan was also a world-famous general who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he wanted to prove his mentality, so he first excluded him from the head coach list.
Today, Emperor Qi is a man of military knowledge, so he only asked these four people to submit a military strategy each, stating that he would only use military strategy to determine the commander-in-chief——
For a time, there was a turmoil. From the officials in the court to the traders and soldiers, they were debating on the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Xia.
One said that the military god was invincible, and the other said that Cao Cao was undefeated. Some people said that Xiu Tu became famous because he broke the Xia Dynasty, and it was time to end the Xia Kingdom with Xiu Yuan. Some people said that Xiu Yuan fought in his life and defeated the strong with the weak many times, which is the real victory.
Everyone in the art of war should have such an occasion to display it.
But no one said that this battle could not be fought or that the expedition against Xia could not be won.
So the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo said -
"The human heart is available."
