Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 144 Fighting for Hegemony in Troubled Times Guo Shengtong (25)

After leaving Zhending's internal affairs to Guo Jing, Zhiyu led 20,000 female soldiers to Feiliu. At the same time, he sent a message to Guo Kuang, asking him to take 40,000 troops to join forces with Zhending's 50,000 troops to fight against Wang Lang's men. .

After the victory in the previous battle, the morale of the 20,000 female soldiers was at a high level. They went to support Fei Lei and fought all the way to kill the generals. In the end, Wang Lang's army was intimidated and they raised their flags and surrendered.

After counting the troops after the war, Zhiyu happily sent people to take over the fertile iron mines. She couldn't trust Liu Yang's people, so naturally she wouldn't use them.

After winning the battle of Feilii, good news came from Guo Kuang. Wang Jing led his troops out of the city secretly, and attacked from both sides with the Zhending army, defeating Wang Lang's men.

After the war between the two places subsided, Zhiyu took his troops and met Guo Kuang in Gaocheng. Among the four counties of Zhending Kingdom, Gaocheng was in the south and was the only place that was not affected by the war this time.

"Chen Guo Kuang."

"Your Majesty Wang Jing."

"I have met my lord."

Outside the gate of Gaocheng County, Zhiyu personally went out of the city to greet the victorious army.

Seeing this, Guo Kuang and Wang Jing quickly dismounted their horses and raised their hands to Zhiyu.

Zhiyu stepped forward with a smile and helped the two of them up, "Thank you for your hard work, you two."

Just when the monarch and his ministers were in peace, a voice with complicated emotions sounded from behind Guo Kuang and Wang Jing.

"A Zhi."

Zhiyu looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a weather-beaten middle-aged man looking at him with complicated eyes.

Zhiyu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Second uncle."

Liu Rang looked at the woman in red in front of him with a complicated expression. Even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't expect that his dignified Shuyi niece had been secretly recruiting troops...

When Wang Lang sent an army of 200,000 to attack Zhending, he knew that Zhending would be in danger this time. Unexpectedly, A Zhi unexpectedly killed him halfway, which was really surprising.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the Liu family's true identity was probably going to be named Guo in the future...

Although he is not King Zhending, he is also his younger brother. He has enjoyed many benefits over the years. But now that Zhending's surname is Guo, it is unclear whether he can survive, let alone glory and wealth.

Seeing that Liu Rang was staring at Zhiyu without saying anything, Guo Kuang had no choice but to come out and liven up the atmosphere, "My lord, we have been tired of traveling all the way, and we are just waiting to have a feast when we get to Guocheng. I wonder if your lord has prepared a banquet."

Hearing this, Jade smiled and nodded, "My true hero has returned victorious, how can he not have a seat?"

"I have already held a banquet in the city. Please follow me into the city."

After hearing this, Guo Jing and Wang Jing led the army into the city in a mighty manner.

At the celebration banquet, Zhiyu rewarded everyone for their merits. Those who made meritorious service in this battle were all rewarded by Zhiyu. Even Zhang Shen, the general of Wang Lang who surrendered voluntarily, was also made a general by Zhiyu.

After the banquet, Wang Jing and Guo Kuang were called to the study by Zhiyu.

Wang Jing was in a good mood at this time, "Hahaha, my lord, after careful calculation, we now have 300,000 horses in our hands."

"In this war, we are the winners."

They originally only had 60,000 soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Lin were defeated. They directly let them pick up more than 40,000 people. The total number of people who surrendered from Zhending's army and Wang Lang's side was about 200,000. One battle gave them 300,000 troops. How could this not be gratifying?

Seeing Wang Jing so happy, Zhiyu said with a smile: "Sir, he will be the great commander in charge of an army of 300,000 people. I wonder how excited he is?"

Hearing this, Wang Jing looked at Xiang Zhiyu in disbelief, "Da Sima?"

Zhiyu nodded with a smile, "Now I have 300,000 soldiers and horses in my hands. Although I am not proclaimed emperor, I can still be proclaimed king. Since I am proclaimed king, naturally I should have a complete official system."

"When Sir came to me, I said that if Sir is willing to come to me, all the troops in my hands will be under my control from now on. Now, who can hold the position of Grand Sima except Sir?"

Hearing this, Wang Jing's face was filled with emotion. He immediately knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord, for trusting me. Wang Jing will follow my Lord for the rest of his life, and he will have no regrets in life or death."

Zhiyu helped the man up with a smile, "Sir, please get up first. Wang Lang has the most people in our army now. I need to trouble you, sir, to be more careful and train these people to be your own."

Wang Jingding nodded and assured: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will fulfill their mission."

"My lord, now that we have 300,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, should we take the opportunity to send troops to expand our territory, or should we recuperate first?"

After Guo Kuang stared at the map in the study for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Wang Jing also looked at Xiang Zhiyu. Now they have an army of 300,000 people, and their morale is high. If they expand externally at this time, they will definitely be able to conquer a lot of territory.

Zhiyu stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the ground, smiling: "Now we have an army of 300,000 in our hands, and the territory of the four counties is indeed too small. Since Liu Lin has led people to attack Zhending, then we will attack His hometown is Zhao County."

Wang Jing looked at the place pointed by the jade sword on the map, and said with a clear smile: "No wonder the Lord sent a message asking us to come to Gao City to meet up. It turns out that he has already had ideas about Zhao County."

Guo Kuang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Only attack Zhao County?"

Zhiyu shook his head, picked up the pen on the desk and drew a circle on the map, and said to the two of them: "Zhaoxian, Guanxian, Fengsi, Luancheng, Shiyi, and Yuanshi, these counties rely on the manuscript city. Capture them all.”

Guo Kuang nodded when he heard this: "If we can successfully capture these places, we will control half of Changshan County's territory, and it will be enough to raise an army of 300,000 in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing immediately stood up and accepted the order: "Don't worry, my lord, I will capture all these places."

Zhiyu smiled and nodded, "Let's train our troops first, and then send them out after they are trained. We have a mixed bag of people, and if you don't train them, you won't be able to use them smoothly."

Hearing this, Wang Jing nodded in agreement. Now he had Wang Lang's soldiers, Liu Lin's soldiers, Zhen Ding soldiers, and their own soldiers. It would be hard to use them without practice for a month or two.

"Since my lord wants to be the king, I wonder if the king will be located in Gaocheng or Zhending?"

Guo Kuang looked at the circled area on the map and asked Zhiyu with some doubts.

Zhiyu looked at Guo Kuang, "I wonder if my second cousin has any suggestions?"

Guo Kuang shook his head and analyzed objectively: "The Zhending Prince's Palace has been in power in Zhending County for so many years. In terms of economy and population, Zhending County far exceeds that of Gaocheng. Therefore, from the perspective of development prospects, the royal capital is located in Zhending County. It must be a good choice.”

"but……."

Guo Kuang changed his tone and said with a smile: "After all, we are not the Liu family's regime. The officials in Zhending County are complex and not suitable for us. If we want to establish our own power, it would be good to make the capital city Guocheng."

Hearing what Guo Kuang said, Zhiyu nodded and said, "Second cousin's analysis is reasonable."

Guo Kuang smiled calmly, "So, I don't know whether my lord would choose the more prosperous Zhending or the poorer Guocheng."

Seeing Guo Kuang's expression of waiting for an answer, Zhiyu smiled faintly and said pointedly: "Now that I have reached this point, I can be regarded as starting from scratch."

Hearing this, Guo Kuang understood: "My lord made the right choice. Since he started from scratch, he should be more thorough."

"Based on your relationship with the Liu family, if you choose Zhending, you will owe the Liu family a favor. If you choose the manuscript city, although the initial stage will be more difficult, you can feel confident using the power you have established."
