Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 231

King Ganke of Chu wanted to take food from a tiger's mouth, and the new emperor got the news, and his attitude was extremely firm - absolutely impossible!
The imperial court mobilized the army this time, if the Fourth Army was allowed to occupy Kunwu City and pick the peaches, what would the new emperor's face be?How can he gain a foothold in the court and restrain the ministers?

Counterattack, only counterattack.

In the imperial study room, the new emperor Qian Shen summoned Wu Jiaoyang, Minister of the Ministry of War, "Aiqing, what should we do now, should we send more troops to the front?" Regarding military affairs, the new emperor really didn't understand, so he could only ask Yu Renchen.

Fifth Scorching Sun's heart was also heavy.

At the beginning when the imperial court decided to send troops to Kunwu County, he was the one who supported it. Now that such a change happened, if he did not deal with it properly, then he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, would probably have made it to the end.

Fifth Sun worriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is a Kunwu Army between our army and the Fourth Army. I'm afraid it's too late to increase our troops now."

"In Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?"

Fifth Jiaoyang thought for a while, and said: "My minister suggested that while maintaining the front-line warfare, we can send heavy troops to break into Kuaiji County, come to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and force the King of Chu to withdraw his troops."

General door tiger.

I have to say that Fifth Sun has a good strategic vision.

The new emperor Gan Shen was also very pleased. In this way, he could not only avoid Kunwu County being left behind, but also avoid premature close combat with the Fourth Army.

Very in line with the emperor's heart.

"Ai Qing thinks, which army should be sent south to Kuaiji County?" the new emperor asked again.

Fifth Jiaoyang said: "This time, the Fourth Army only deployed the first and second divisions, and the third, fourth, and fifth divisions are also stationed in the southern border. It is said that there are three more divisions that are being formed. Want to To force the King of Chu to withdraw his troops, he must assume the posture of taking down Kuaiji County.

"Therefore, Weichen suggested that the remaining first, second and fifth divisions of the third army should be dispatched to directly attack Kuaiji County with a thunderous event."

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to expand the Third Army, so that it also reached the full state of five divisions.

In just one or two years, the strength of the empire has doubled.

In fact, the only army that the new government can mobilize right now is the Third Army. This is because the Kraken has been silent recently and has not harassed the eastern coast.

Not to mention the Guards.

Unless the gods are in trouble, the Imperial Guard will not go out lightly.

The city guards had dispatched the second, third, and fourth divisions, and the remaining two divisions had to stay in Zhongzhou to prevent Wei Wang Qiantai from suddenly advancing eastward.

As for the Second Army, which broke up with the King of Yan and joined the new emperor, all its energy is now devoted to fighting the invasion of the Beidi Kingdom, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

The Beidi Kingdom is a pack of wolves, and once they show their fangs, they will not let it go.

The new emperor frowned slightly after hearing this. The Third Army was his direct descendant, and he would have to take a big risk if he wanted to devote himself to the front line at once.

If something goes wrong, it may even shake the foundation of the new dynasty.

"Can you let the Southwest Corps make a move?" the new emperor Qian Shen asked.

Fifth Sun's heart was stagnant. He knew that although His Majesty asked casually, a poor answer might cause suspicion among the emperor and his ministers.

The Majesty in front of him is not so suspicious.

"The king of Qin promised His Majesty earlier that he would attack the king of Chu together. Although the attack on Kuaiji county this time happened suddenly, it was only an early move. I think that the king of Qin should and should take responsibility." Fifth Scorching Sun When I said these words, I didn't know what it was like in my heart.

The corner of the new Emperor Ganshen's mouth showed a smile, which disappeared in a flash, and said: "There is no need to force it. I heard that the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the First Legion are gathering at the border of Zhaoyao County?"

"Yes."

"So, the two chaotic kings have been ventilated in advance, and they have figured this out." The new emperor's eyes flashed coldly, and he addressed the two elder brothers very rudely in his words.

After thinking for a while, the new emperor Qian Shen said: "In this way, I will give the fifteenth brother a decree, let the fifteenth brother adapt to the situation, and appropriately create a little trouble for the southern border, so don't make too specific requirements."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

…………

On the fifth day of September, the court fought back.

With Zhan Tianzi Zhanhun as the main general, he led the first, second and fifth divisions of the third army, and went south brazenly, posing as if to attack Kuaiji County.

As the fifth scorching sun said, the imperial court's move is a balance between advance and retreat.

If the Fourth Army voluntarily withdraws its troops from Kunwu County under pressure, it will be all right; if the Fourth Army does not withdraw its troops, the court will not hesitate to exchange Kuaiji County for Kunwu County.

Moreover, the imperial court has assembled a large army in Kunwu County, and it is not yet known who will win the battle.

If the king of Chu insists on going his own way, he may lose his wife and lose his army.

The outbreak of war in Kuaiji County not only means that the competition between the new emperor and the King of Chu has escalated, but also indicates that the civil war that evolved from the battle for the right to inherit the throne has officially begun.

When the flames of war are ignited, there will be no time for peace in the world.

…………

The southern border, Nanyu City.

"Sir, the court has accepted the invitation, what should we do now?" King Qianke of Chu asked Ji Yu Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The imperial court's response is not beyond our expectations. In my opinion, Your Highness only needs to follow the plan."

Since he wanted to grab food from the tiger's mouth, how could Jia Xu not guard against the court.

"Sir, did you just go up?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Kunwu City is within easy reach. Kuaiji County only needs to resist for half a month at most, and the overall situation will be settled. The new emperor will never take the risk of fighting us to the end."

King Ganke of Chu nodded and asked, "In Mr.'s opinion, which troops should be stationed in Kuaiji County?"

Jia Xu said: "We can only mobilize the [-]th and [-]th divisions stationed in Kuaiji County. Although the fight will be more difficult, we must hold on. This is the most difficult point."

"Where is the third division, can you also send it up?"

After the first and second divisions went to the front line, the third division was responsible for the defense of the entire Nanyu County, especially Nanyu City as the center of the southern border, which was the top priority.

"Your Highness must not." Jia Xu showed a rare anxious expression, "Although King Wei kept his promise and restrained the Southwest Corps at the border. But in any case, His Highness must not neglect the defense of the base camp. Facts have proved that anyone who underestimates the Southwest Corps Those of the Corps suffered a great loss in the end.”

"is it?"

The King of Chu was not showing any emotion on his face, but he was determined in his heart. At such a time, Jia Xu was able to consider his own interests, which showed that he was truly loyal.

Jia Xu's "favor" inevitably offended a group of old ministers around the King of Chu.

Among them, Dai Jin, the former chief counselor, was the one who arranged Jia Xu when he seized the opportunity. The biggest pain was that Yun Mengwei hadn't found out the details of Jia Xu's background so far.

This is suspicious.

If you hear too many bad things, you will inevitably have doubts.

But seeing Jia Xu planning something like this, the King of Chu completely put away his jealousy and said with a smile: "What you said is very true, but as a result, the garrison troops in Kuaiji County are somewhat insufficient. In this way, I am going to send the newly recruited The new recruits are also transferred to the battlefield in Kuaiji County for some experience, what do you think, sir?"

Although King Chu was smiling, his words were extremely cold.

Sending a group of recruits who have not even completed the most basic training to the front line, one can imagine how many casualties it will cause, but from the mouth of the king of Chu, it seems to be a trivial matter.

No wonder it is said that the King of Chu has a humble appearance and a cold heart. Even his mother and concubine Xiao Shufei was arranged by the new emperor to guard the mausoleum of the former emperor, and the King of Chu endured it.

"Your Highness is wise!"

But Jia Xu is fine, he is a poisonous man, and his heart will only be more cruel than the king of Chu.

…………

The king of Chu was not frightened by the big stick of the imperial court.

Facing the menacing Third Army, the Fourth Army fought decisively and fought at the border.

In this way, what was originally a local war where the army of the dynasty conquered the sect gradually turned into a war of forces between the new dynasty and the southern border.

In addition, although they did not directly participate in the war, they were also involved in the First Army Corps and the Southwest Corps.

This fierce battle swept through the Empire's First, Third, and Fourth Legions, the City Guards, and the Southwest Corps, which was equivalent to involving half of the Empire's army.

It can't be said to be vast.
