Chapter 153: The Great War (2)

"The Shu army in Hanzhong really arose and headed towards Liangchuan County!"

In the Qinchuan Magistrate's Mansion, Guo Wentong was holding a piece of intelligence in his hand and his face was gloomy.

The information in this information was about Wang Hongyi raising 50,000 troops to force Liangchuan County. Now the news has reached Guo Wentong's hands. Not only him, but many Qinchuan forces have also learned about this.

Guo Wentong had no choice but to find that although he had promised to lead the Qin army to resist the attack of the Shu army to the death, the Qinchuan families were still panicked.

There is a difference in strength between 30,000 and 50,000. Wang Hongyi suffered a loss last time. These families are also very clear about the fact that they lack confidence in Guo Wentong being able to repel the Shu army.

The fearful atmosphere spreading in Qin made Guo Wentong very angry. Guo Wentong has also been in Qin for many years and has a strong control over Qin.

It is circulated in Qin, and the remarks about how powerful the Shu army is, how hard the Qin army cannot resist, and how afraid of Guo Wentong is. In Guo Wentong's view, it is either the harassment sent by Wang Hongyi or the rumors spread by other princes in the chaos!

"Hmph, Wang Hongyi is just a child with a yellow mouth. I, Guo Wentong, have been in Qin for many years and have been in the military for more than ten years. Are you still afraid that he will not succeed? How could I, Guo Wentong, be defeated by this child with a yellow mouth!" With a snap, Guo Wentong threw the information in his hand on the table.

However, even if he calls Wang Hongyi a "young boy", Guo Wentong has to admit that Wang Hongyi is indeed a hero with extraordinary abilities.

After operating Qin for many years, he knew very well how difficult it was to pacify a territory!

After all, Wang Hongyi unified Shu, no matter how many luck elements are, what many vassal states in Shu cannot do, they have done so with Wang Hongyi. This is the ability!

Shu is a place where heroes emerge. Being able to jump up from it and quickly pacify Shu is definitely not a good match. Guo Wentong said that he was dissatisfied with him, but in fact he was extremely afraid of Wang Hongyi.

"I passed the order that I would go to the battle in person and lead 30,000 Qin troops to fight to the death with Wang Hongyi!" In addition to Guo Wentong in Qin, Jingzhou and all nearby forces also received information about Wang Hongyi's army's attack.

In Jiangling Prefecture, the county magistrate's mansion, Zheng Pingyuan's face was filled with joy.

After all, it is just a place of two counties now, and in terms of strength, it is far worse than that of Qinchuan, Shu. If Wang Hongyi took Jingzhou first, the future of Zheng Pingyuan would be difficult.

Although the Shu army will win if one side wins, it will be a battle against Jingzhou in the future, but how many years will it take for it? Perhaps by then, there will be another situation in Jingzhou.

"The target of the Shu army was Qinchuan. Guanzhong was so vast that the two heroes fought each other and won time for Jingzhou."

Thinking of this, Zheng Pingyuan breathed a little more relaxed, his face turned milder, picked up the letter paper and looked at it, smiled bitterly and kneaded it into a ball, and threw it into a bamboo cage.

After this, you must burn it specifically, and you cannot miss a word or sentence.

"We can't wait any longer for military matters." Zheng Pingyuan thought as he walked.

"The infantry and navy of the two counties must re-arrange training and strive to complete this month. They have already prepared almost the same before. The next step is Changsha. If Changsha is captured, Jingbei will be almost settled. If Jingbei is settled, you can conquer Jingnan. I have already figured it out, and now I am racing against time."

This was something that Zheng Pingyuan had repeatedly thought about countless times, and he made up his mind at this moment.

"I just hope that God will give me some more time..." Zheng Pingyuan, who had to follow the rules of the court because of the majesty of the court, has seen it clearly in the past two years. The world has become in chaos and changing the world is inevitable.

If it was not taken advantage of the fact that the court and the King of Wu were still consuming each other, it would become a climate, then it would only end up being either by Shu or annexed by Wu!

"With the assistance of various families in Jingzhou, how could our army develop? How could it be too difficult?" Zheng Pingyuan's eyes showed a hint of firmness, his voice was low, and he said to himself.

But at this moment, someone urgently reported: "Report that a fierce battle broke out in Yiling County, and the Shu navy advanced to Yiling County!"

This shock was extraordinary. Zheng Pingyuan stood up suddenly and knocked all the table over: "What?"

Frontline.Jishan County

More than a dozen officials following were handling official duties in an orderly manner.

The room was not big, with the window open and a little wind. There were more than a dozen personal soldiers standing outside, almost without hearing any sound.

Although this place is just an ordinary study, its name is Shangshu, or wherever King Wu goes, he will follow him.

In fact, many important officials belonging to King Wu came out from here, which is very similar to Wang Hongyi in terms of this.

The officials working here, regardless of their official positions, at least they can meet His Highness the King of Wu from time to time, which is the place where the holy family begins.

It had just been snowing outside for a few days. Although the floor tiles were cleaned, the snow hanging on the vegetation and trees naturally fell there. After the snow melted, it would melt into the soil, making the vegetation grow more vigorously.

Wei Yue rode a carriage and came to the side gate, and guards came out to serve him early.

"Master Xun and others are there?" Wei Yue asked casually.

"King, I have never seen Lord Xun today." A guard replied carefully.

"If you remember wrongly, be careful of your dog slave's tongue." Wei Yue snorted and strode into the side hall. But the words he left were so scared that the eunuch's legs trembled.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Lord Xun has never been here today." Someone hurriedly said comfortingly.

The eunuch wiped his forehead and let out a cold sweat, and sighed in his heart that His Highness, the King of Wu, is really a difficult time to meet!

"His Royal Highness of the King of Wu is here--"

"I, please pay homage to the lord!"

"No gifts, just flatter you!"

Wei Yue walked to his seat and sat down, saying to the officials below: "You go and do your business. Mr. Zhou, come forward."

"I obey the order." Zhou Ji, dressed in Confucian clothes, stood up and walked to Wei Yue: "Do you have something to ask?"

"I have never seen Mr. Xun these days. On that day, Mr. Xun only said to go to pay homage to his master, and I don't know when I will return?" Wei Yue asked.

"King, we are in the Fuyun Mountains far away, and we will return in seven days." Zhou Ji said back.

"The Fubai Mountains are nearly a thousand miles apart, and only seven days are coming and going?" Wei Yue said, "Mr. Xun said that he would return in a few days. I still thought that it was the two gentlemen's men's sects who came to the territory."

"There are also people who practice cultivation who walk hundreds of miles a day." Zhou Ji said slowly. In fact, it is not so magical, but there is no need to explain it.

"If such an alien can play a great role in the military, he will definitely play a great role in the battle." Wei Yue's expression changed, and after a long time, he said quietly.

Zhou Ji knew that Wei Yue was determined to be the world, and his words were not ordinary questions and answers. In fact, Wei Yue couldn't help but want to use the monks from the Fuyun Mountains to use them for his own use. But how could practitioners actually interfere in the affairs of the world? Of course, how could they actually have the power to interfere?

"Zhou mentioned to the king that practitioners cannot interfere in ordinary affairs. If they intervene, they will lose their lifespan, even more so than ordinary people. Moreover, the way of heaven cannot be violated. If they want to force themselves, they will be punished by heaven. Although there are sects of cultivation who will send people down the mountain to assist the wise king, they are mostly strategic men like me, as well as outer disciples who have superb military power but no magical powers. As for the monks who travel hundreds of thousands of miles a day mentioned by Your Highness, they cannot use magic tricks in the world to assist the monarch in seizing the world."

"But please rest assured, Junior Brother Xungu returns to the mountain gate this time to bring out a few warriors to help the king!" Seeing Wei Yue's gloomy expression, Zhou Ji hurriedly said: "Although you can't charge, you can keep the king in peace!"

Seeing this, Wei Yue didn't say anything more.

The other party's master was indeed a great help from him. Although he did not know the matter of Pingshan Seal, he could clearly feel the good luck after contacting the other party.

"It's such a big help!" Wei Yue said happily. As for what he thought in his heart, it's unknown.

At this time, someone submitted the Shu army's intelligence.

"Wang Hongyi led 50,000 Shu troops to attack from Hanzhong and headed towards Liangchuan County?" Wei Yue looked at the information in his hand and laughed: "I was originally worried that Wang Hongyi would use his plan, but I didn't expect to go to Qinchuan! However, the governor of Liangchuan County was brave and had a large army to defend the city. Wang Hongyi might not be able to capture the city in one fell swoop!"

In Liangchuan County, in the hall of the General's Mansion, Xu Bing sat upright on it, and below was a row of soldiers.

In Xu Bing's hand was a letter from Guo Wentong. Guo Wentong was afraid that Xu Bing would suffer a great loss before he led the army, so he specifically advised him to treat the Shu army carefully. Xu Bing read the letter several times and put it aside.

"Fifty thousand Shu troops have reached the border. Do you have any plans to retreat to the Shu army?" he asked the soldiers below.

"General, the Shu army has 50,000, and only a few thousand defenders in our county can be defeated. It is impossible to repel the Shu army. He ordered each city to close the gates and never leave the city to fight. He defended for a while. When the general led the army here, he would naturally have a way to retreat to the enemy!" Someone said.

When Xu Bing heard this, his face was a little gloomy: "So what if the Shu army is 50,000? I am still afraid that they will not succeed?"

"General, since the commander has issued an order, we can only follow the order and ask the general to order to defend himself." Seeing Xu Bing getting angry, another deputy general persuaded him, meaning that this is the order of the lord, and no one will say that you are not.

Xu Bing was rough outside and delicate inside, and also understood this truth. He knew that it was not a reckless act. He just had a necessary attitude. After hearing this, he nodded, followed the advice of his subordinates, and said: "Since that is the case, I will focus on defense!"

When the generals heard what he said, they felt relieved.

At this time, Wang Hongyi's 50,000 Shu troops had entered Liangchuan County and approached the first city.

Guo Wentong personally led an army of 30,000 toward Liangchuan County.

The two armies were about to confront each other, and for a moment, the dragon energy condensed in Liangchuan County, attracting most of the attention.
