Zhi Xuan

Due to the long-term preparations, the conscription of the Xiyuan Kingdom did not cause any disturbances, let alone public grievances.The people of Ruliang were all excited when they heard that they were going to send troops. Every family prepared their own weapons, armor and horses. When the call-up order arrived, they immediately assembled and set off.

The county doctor Luo Gong personally led the army, and the Yi doctor and village elders saw him off by the roadside.

A team of hundreds of people lined up neatly, their horses neighing.When the horn sounds, the murderous intent is already high before the battle.

Luo Gong did not take the carriage, but rode horses with the others.

At this time, he is no longer wearing a wide-sleeved robe, but his body is wrapped in armor, and the helmet is engraved with animal patterns, which originated from the tribal totem of Luo's ancestors.

"Shi Yanliang is fierce and belligerent, I will live up to my reputation!"

During the time when he was in power in Liangdi, Luo Gong's behavior style was even more brutal.

To lead ferocious beasts, it is useless to be gentle, and useless to be gentle. Only by being more ruthless, fiercer and bloodthirsty can the herd of beasts be subdued.

Back then when Zhixuan sent Luo Gong to Liangdi, it was his ruthlessness that he took a fancy to.A person who can make decisions with his wealth and life is more suitable than anyone else, suitable for commanding these rebellious Liang people.

Sure enough, upon hearing Luo Gong's words, the Liangren immediately burst out laughing, not at all nervous about going to the battlefield, but full of excitement and eagerness to try.

"I will do my best to live up to the county king's expectations!"

"set off!"

Liangdi's army set off with the sound of horns, and the horses galloped past, setting off bursts of thunder.

The team passed through Fengdi on the way, and joined the soldiers summoned by Ji Gao, and went to Zhidi together to join the ranks of the new army.

At that time, the first batch of clan troops had arrived in Zhidi and camped outside the new city.

According to the battle plan formulated by Zhi Xuan, Su Hu and others, the team will set off in three days, rush to the border at high speed, and head straight for the five cities occupied by the Eastern Liang Kingdom.

Either don't fight, and start a war to hurt the enemy.

Zhixuan prepared for such a long time, and the clans twisted into one rope, not only to take back the city to clear up the shame, but also to fight to the Eastern Capital, at least to take down half of the Eastern Liang Kingdom.

Half of the domestic official roads were built. Due to traffic conditions, some troops were slowed down and did not arrive at the designated location as scheduled.Seeing the news flying from all over the country, Zhi Xuan couldn't help frowning, and became more and more determined to build roads, and the official road must run through the whole country.

In contrast, Su Hu and others were quite satisfied with the speed of troop deployment.Knowing the fastest marching speed, I was shocked.

From a capable official to a noble position, military exploits will never be lacking.

Not to mention the Mi family who was exterminated, the Su family, Fan family, Luan family and Yang family all started their careers with military exploits.The children of the family must go to the battlefield if they want to succeed.Especially the heirs of the family, not only need to attend the battle in person, but also make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, otherwise it will be difficult to accept.

It is important to have a noble status, but without real talents and achievements, one will become a puppet sooner or later if one ascends to the position of head of the family.

Knowing this, the clans sent their children into the army early, and would rather bear the danger than raise a living bag.

Zhixuan transferred Yang Qi and others to the new army, no doubt giving credit to him.Su Hu and others were very grateful, and sent elites to help in the battle, trying to win the first place in the vanguard.

From the home letters sent back by Yang Qi, Su You and others, each family is sure of the size, equipment, and logistics of the new army, and they have increased confidence in the combat effectiveness of this army.

In their view, this army built with money and food is no different from the elite, and the only shortcoming is battlefield experience.This shortcoming will also be made up for in the war with Dongliang.

At that time, the new army may not be able to overwhelm the three armies, and the family children who accompanied the new army will also gain a lot.

In the eyes of Su Hu and others, Zhixuan's effort for the new army has gone to the extreme. In the current world, no monarch can surpass him.After learning about the situation of the new army, several people were shocked, and they all thought that there would be no more things to shake them.

It's a pity they were wrong.

Soon, the speed of the army's mobilization surprised the officials.

After the clan army was launched, the newly built official road played a huge role.The post stations built on the side of the road store a large amount of supplies, which can better deliver military information and provide many conveniences for the army.

In the past, when the national war started, the three armies had to travel through mountains and rivers to assemble and go out. The time spent on the road was often longer than the time spent on the battle.

Now the situation has changed, and the clans have found that in areas with official paths, the speed of deploying troops is two or three times faster than before.What used to be completed in half a month can now be completed in less than ten days.It is also very convenient to transport materials on the way. The carts made by the craftsmen have a strong carrying capacity. Even if there is a lack of cattle and horses, it can save the servants and slaves a lot of energy.

The station on the way surprised everyone even more.

Some clans are more homebound and have stayed in the fief for a long time. They have heard of the new monarch's decree, but have not seen it with their own eyes.This expedition is the first time for them to embark on the official road. When they saw the post station set up by the roadside and enjoyed the benefits endowed by the government order, they were all surprised and sighed: the country is bound to be a great success!

In view of the different distances, apart from the core soldiers of the three armies, some clans participating in the war did not go to the western capital, but went directly to the border areas.

Everyone walked along the official road and naturally met together.

From hundreds to thousands, to tens of thousands, the black torrent rolled forward, amazed the world.

Zhixuan and the doctors deliberately released the news, and soon, the capital city of Zhongdu and all the vassal states saw the power of the Xiyuan army.

Ren Wang expressed his attitude in the court, not to participate in this national war, unless the two countries jointly petition, Zhongdu will not come forward to reconcile.

This royal decree seems to be impartial, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the king is clearly biased towards the Xiyuan Kingdom.

The war was initiated by Zhixuan, and Dongliang was forced to fight.The Xiyuan Kingdom came prepared, and the Dongliang Kingdom hastily dispatched troops, and the strength of the troops was clear at a glance.Under such circumstances, it is self-evident who wants Zhongducheng to come forward.

The King of People set the conditions in the will, requiring the two countries to submit a letter, which undoubtedly stuck his throat and made Dongliang Hou unable to speak.

Xiyuan Kingdom has the upper hand, so how can they easily suspend their troops.Whoever dares to stop the vengeful tiger and wolf master will be regarded as an enemy.

It is precisely after seeing the situation clearly that the Human King will make a decision not to get involved in this muddy water.

However, there are prerequisites for the matter. Zhixuan can't go too far, and he will never let Dongliang Kingdom destroy the country.The four major vassal states check each other is the way to balance the capital city.If you lose a corner rashly, the world may be in chaos.

Zhixuan understood the king's mind, wrote a memorial after receiving the king's decree, and prepared to offer a tribute to the king.

Different from the previous tributes, what was presented this time was neither rare birds and animals, nor gold, jade and jewelry, but three jars of fruit wine and a small box of newly made sugar.

There is a precedent for giving wine from original peaches, and the reputation of Monkey Wine has spread throughout the capital.Not many clans received gifts, and rare things are more expensive, which made the clans very greedy for this kind of wine.

This time when Zhixuan paid tribute, the monkey wine was specially prepared to show his loyalty, and to show the king that the war between Xiyuan Kingdom and Dongliang Kingdom was to resolve an old grievance. The king of men dare not be disrespectful.

In the memorial, Zhi Xuan wrote clearly that before he took the throne, the King of People praised him several times, which allowed him to gain a foothold in the country.He will never forget this kindness and always keep it in his heart.

Before the memorial was delivered, Su Hu, Fan Xu and others circulated it in turn.After reading the content, and then looking at the young monarch, there was something wrong with the eyes of several people.

Zhi Xuan has long been used to this kind of gaze, his expression has not changed, and he asked in a good mood: "What do you think?"

Su Hu Yanghao didn't speak, Fan Xuluan looked at each other and bowed down together.

When it comes to writing proclamations and political essays, the four of them are all good at it.Especially Fan Xuluan, the words he wrote could make his opponent vomit blood.They can also write articles about gratitude and flattery.

Having seen strong winds and waves, Zhi Xuan's memorabilia still opened their eyes.

It turns out that you can choose words and make sentences like this, and good words can still be different from each other.The words are used in an extravagant way, but there is incomparable sincerity between the lines.Even without face-to-face, people who saw the memorandum could feel that Zhi Xuan's feelings were sincere, without any falsehood or exaggeration.

Amazing ability.

If they hadn't watched Zhixuan grow up with their own eyes, and watched him grow up from difficulty to today, the four of them would not believe that the person who can use political and military skills so delicately is the unfavored son-in-law back then .

Seeing the reactions of the four people, Zhi Xuan didn't intend to say anything more. He sent someone to send memos and gifts, and took out the sugar bowl prepared in advance. Part of it is dedicated to growing sugar beets.

"The matter is divided among the ministers, who pay tribute to Zhongdu City every year."

Zhi Xuan's move had a lot of meaning, all the smart people present could understand almost everything.

"good!"

Su Hu was the first to agree, and Fan Xu and others nodded their heads one after another.

Using the land of Dongliang Kingdom to grow sugar beets, and then paying the boiled sugar to Zhongdu City, the King of Kings will naturally favor Zhixuan when he accepts the benefits of Xiyuan Kingdom, and he will not be too serious in dealing with the land issue.In this way, it is undoubtedly a dream for the Marquis of Dongliang to want to return to the land.

Of course, he can also send troops to snatch it back.

Just can it be done...

Zhi Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, exchanged glances with Su Hu and the others, and smiled at the same time.The old and the young are insidious and cunning, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like good people.

Everything is ready in Xiyuan Kingdom, and the central capital is well managed, but there are troubles in Dongliang Kingdom.

The Xiyuan Kingdom did not have to worry about the autumn harvest, but the Dongliang Kingdom did the exact opposite.The conscription order for Dongdu City was issued, and the clan fief immediately fell into chaos.

After being busy for more than half a year, the autumn harvest is just around the corner. At this time, there is a massive conscription, and a large number of young and strong are sent to the battlefield. What to do with the food in the field is simply nonsense!

Clans whose fiefdoms are not on the frontier collectively hoped to delay the conscription, let others take the lead first, and allow them to collect the grain and put it in the warehouse before going to the battlefield.In exchange, they are willing to take out part of the food as compensation to other clans.

Dong Lianghou thought it over and thought it was feasible.

Although the named clans were reluctant, their fiefdom was close to the border, and if they didn't conscript, they would be beaten by the Xiyuan Kingdom, and the autumn harvest would be ruined sooner or later.If you agree to the other party's conditions, at least you can get some compensation, and you won't lose everything.

Under the auspices of the Marquis of Dongliang, the clans reached an oath, and some of them rushed to the autumn harvest, while the rest immediately dispatched troops to replenish the border and prepare to face the army of the Xiyuan Kingdom.

A gust of autumn wind blows across the border, all the millet in the field has changed color, the wheat has been starched, and the bulging tassels are golden.

At the junction of Xiyuan Kingdom and Dongliang Kingdom, the five cities that originally belonged to Xiyuan Kingdom hang the flag of Dongliang Nationality. Armored soldiers are displayed behind the female wall at the top of the city. Most of the armored soldiers who are good at shooting are specially sent to defend the city.

The Xiyuan Kingdom's embarrassment to the Five Cities in the proclamation is tantamount to telling the people of the world that once the drums of war sound, this place will immediately become a battlefield.

The nearby small countries evacuated their people in a hurry, and the food in the villages and fields were all gone, for fear of being affected by the war.A lion and a tiger are fighting, and a few jackals are standing next to them to show their presence. Isn't it courting death?

This move is exactly in line with the intention of Xiyuan Kingdom.

The last village was emptied, and the army on display at the border moved.

Five thousand black-armored knights rushed to the battlefield, and the team unfurled the black-bottomed divine bird banner, interspersed with the battle flags of the Su, Fan, Luan, and Yang families.

Behind the soldiers are countless carts, pulled by strong oxen and horses.The siege equipment on the car was transported from Zhidi. From a distance, it looks like moving mountains, which makes people feel fearful and frightening.

Five cities sent scouts to investigate the situation in the distance.

Seeing this army and recognizing the chariot ahead, the knight's expression changed drastically, and he galloped desperately back to the city.

That chariot represents the king, and Xi Yuanhou is in the army!

From the western capital to the border, when did he come, and why was there no news in advance?
