Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 159 Burma: Qi surrendered?Then let’s follow too!

Imperial City, school grounds.

Waves of shouts of killing rose into the sky.

Zhao Yu sat on the high platform, looking at the more than [-] strong soldiers below who were wearing red armor, holding swords and shields, and carrying crossbows on their backs, practicing formations, with satisfaction in his eyes.

In the eyes of Zhao Yu, Lin Chong, Qin Liangyu and other advanced practitioners, the qi and blood smoke emitted by these elite soldiers is faintly connected with the qi of heaven and earth, turning into a large net composed of red aura, which engulfs these three hundred elites. Pawns are connected to each other.

With the blessing of Qi, these three hundred elite soldiers were like one body, covering each other and attacking layer by layer. The offensive was like mercury pouring down the ground, which was intimidating.

"volley!"

Under the command of the leading colonel, the soldiers in the front row half squatted on the ground and inserted the triangular shields in their hands on the ground. The soldiers behind them all took off the one-meter-long powerful crossbows from their backs and skillfully filled the crossbows with arrows. into the trough.

hum!
Accompanied by a vibrating sound like a bee, powerful arrows came out one after another, drawing straight lines in the air.

The arrow is like a falling star!

In the school grounds, the scarecrows acting as targets suffered an instant disaster, and the armor they were wearing was pierced by crossbow bolts.

hiss!
Looking at this scene, Lin Chong and Qin Liangyu, who were standing next to Zhao Yu, suddenly took a deep breath.

Lin Chong was speechless and said: "Your Majesty, this divine arm crossbow is actually so powerful?"

Qin Liangyu even said: "Not to mention the power of the crossbow arrows, the combat power of these elite soldiers seems to be stronger than the white-poled soldiers of the last general."

As a female general, Qin Liangyu was appointed as the imperial guard general by Zhao Yu and trained a group of white-poled female soldiers who were responsible for protecting the safety of the concubines in the palace.

Hearing the words of the two people, Zhao Yu's lips broke into a faint smile.

These three hundred elite soldiers are the Danyang elite soldiers he took the time to train after returning to Beijing. Although there are only more than [-] elite soldiers for the time being, they are only in prototype form, but their combat power cannot be underestimated.

[Arm]: Light Infantry - Danyang Elite Soldiers

[Combat Power Rating]: Four stars
[Attributes]: Attack A, Defense A, Speed ​​B, Intent B, Blood B
[Characteristic 1] Army Pao Ze: 40% of the damage suffered by Danyang elite soldiers is shared by the surrounding soldiers.

[Characteristic 2] Strong Shield and Powerful Crossbow: When receiving a long-range attack, the damage is reduced by 30%, and a counterattack is launched immediately; the power of the crossbow is increased by 30%, with its own "armor-breaking" effect.

[Characteristic 3] Fingers like arms: The command points required to command Danyang elite soldiers are 60 points. On this basis, for every 10-point increase in the commander's command value, all attributes of Danyang elite soldiers under his command will increase by 5%.

Elite troops from the Three Kingdoms came out of Danyang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian had no generals under his command, but he relied on the Danyang elite soldiers in his hands to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and secure Xuzhou.Later, Cao Cao failed to defeat Xuzhou three times, and finally learned how powerful the Danyang soldiers were.Liu Bei reinforced Tao Qian to fight against Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei's power was extremely weak, so Tao Qian gave him [-] Danyang soldiers as a gift. These elite soldiers became Liu Bei's "family wealth" and later followed Liu Bei to fight thousands of miles and made great achievements in battle.To contend with heroes like Cao Cao.

Cao Cao even bluntly said that Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are many and energetic, they are good at martial arts and practice warfare, they have noble strength, and they are a place of elite soldiers.

In fact, Danyang soldiers were famous throughout the world during the Western Han Dynasty.In September of the second year of Tianhan (99), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the famous general Li Ling to lead 8 elite troops out of Juyan and go to Junji Mountain to fight against the Xiongnu.The Xiongnu Chanyu summoned more than [-] elite cavalry to besiege the Han army, but suffered consecutive defeats.Shanyu exclaimed: "This Han elite army cannot be attacked." In desperation, he planned to retreat.At this time, a traitor in the Han army reported that Li Ling's army was running out of arrows and had no backup. The Xiongnu then fought desperately.The Han army suffered heavy casualties, and only about [-] of the [-] soldiers retreated to the pass.However, this battle frightened the Xiongnu.The main force of these five thousand elite soldiers are Danyang soldiers, and a small number are Chu soldiers.

Not to mention, the elite soldiers of Danyang played the most important role in the establishment of Soochow.

When Sun Ce left Yuan Shu and crossed the Yangtze River south, in addition to the thousand old troops left behind by his father Sun Jian, the most important team in his hands were the elite Danyang troops that Zhou Yu brought with him when he defected to him.

Zhao Yu looked at Lin Chong and asked with a smile: "General Lin, I am going to select soldiers carefully. According to this method, we will train three thousand warriors to prepare for the Northern Expedition. I wonder if General will dare to take over this post?"

Among the generals, Lin Chong had been a military instructor in Qi State and was good at training soldiers. It was a perfect fit to entrust him with the task of training Danyang elite soldiers.

"I would like to do my best for His Majesty!"

Hearing that these soldiers were being trained for the future Northern Expedition, Lin Chong became excited. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said:

"I only ask that your Majesty allow me to go with him during the Northern Expedition."

"How can I not know General Lin's heart?" Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to help Lin Chong up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "The hatred in the general's heart should be repaid by the general himself. Although I am the emperor, I also How can I overstep my authority?"

When Lin Chong heard this, his eyes filled with tears. He was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. He just nodded his head.

Zhao Yu added: "There are all the armors and weapons needed for military training. General, don't worry about it. I will ask the Ministry of Industry's Ordnance Supervisor to prepare it properly. However, the divine arm crossbow is a new work. It still needs time to debug and improve, so it can only be done temporarily." Replace it with an ordinary crossbow."

"My minister knows."

Lin Chong nodded quickly.

The Divine Arm Crossbow is a product that comes with Zhao Yu's latest Dika, but because it has just been developed, it has not yet been mass-produced.

Counting from the day Zhao Yu ascended the throne, more than half a year has passed before he knew it.

Not long ago, when Zhao Yu was sorting out his system backpack, he discovered that he had collected six random blue and purple card pack fragments obtained by signing in, which was enough to exchange for a random blue and purple card pack.

When the purple card leaped out from the huge illusory roulette wheel, the shadow of a middle-aged emperor appeared next to Zhao Yu, his eyes full of tenderness, melancholy and fatigue.

I saw him clasping his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, sighing faintly:

"Restrain oneself and restore propriety, be kind to the people and love things! God's will is unpredictable. However, as the lord of the country and the king of all people, I am only willing to cultivate political affairs with you, govern with virtue, and love the people with benevolence. I, the monarch and my ministers, will work hard day and night together to answer Heavenly Ring.”

[(Purple) Dika: Song Renzong—Zhao Zhen]

[Card description: Renzong, it was Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan who suppressed the Xixia troops; Han, Fan and Fu Bi were responsible for the rule of Qingli.The emperor's courtesy, frugality and love for the people have remained the same for 42 years, which can be described as benevolent. 】

[Effects of destiny: Renzong prospered, benevolence and stability were the norm, martial arts were essential, and natural disasters were endless. 】

The prosperous rule of Renzong: the world is Yongxi, the eight wastelands are peaceful, scholars and farmers are happy in their work, civil and military loyalty is good, the sages are wise and the Tang Dynasty is the Yu Dynasty, the sun and the moon are selfless and the world springs.The loyalty of courtiers increases by an additional 1 point every year, the probability of obtaining famous ministers increases by 3%, and the national administrative efficiency increases by 10%; the urban development speed increases by an additional 20%, the population growth rate +10%, and the talent discovery rate +5%; the treasury increases annually The tax is 500W taels of silver.

Be Benevolent and Stable: Try your best to maintain the interests and equality of everyone, and reduce the negative effects of Ceka by 50%; when cleaning up idle officials, additional severance costs will be given according to the official grade (an additional 1000 taels of silver per grade); the chance of factional fighting is reduced by 30% .

General Essentials of the Military Classics: If the court has three ministers each with a military strategy of more than 90, a command of more than 90, and a political strategy of more than 90, then the "General Essentials of the Military Classics" can be compiled.After the compilation is completed, the nine-star treasure "Martial Classics General Essentials" is obtained. Effects of "Martial Arts Summary": Army morale +10, military discipline +10, training level +10, and the damage caused by soldiers to the enemy is increased by an additional 20%.The equipment [God Arm Crossbow] can be researched and developed, and the special unit [Border Clearing Crossbowman] can be formed.

Natural disasters are constant: While this card is equipped, natural disasters will occur at least once every six months, including but not limited to locust plagues, plagues, droughts, floods, etc.If disaster relief is not carried out, public support will be reduced by an additional 5 points, and imperial power will be reduced by an additional 500 points.After each successful disaster relief operation, public sentiment increases by 5 points.

[Note: After equipping this card, it will take at least one year before you can remove it.If you want to forcibly remove this card, you need to consume 1000 imperial power points; for every additional month after one year, you need to consume an additional 500 points. 】

If the effect of the imperial card [King Huan of Changsha - Sun Ce] is "Martial" which tends to lead the army in conquests and open up territories, then the effect of this [Song Renzong - Zhao Zhen] is tending to govern the country and cultivate talents, Balance the "culture" of the court.

Among the four Heavenly Destinies, except for the last one of "Continuous Natural Disasters", which is a proper negative effect, the other three effects are all quite powerful positive effects.

Now that the border situation has stabilized, his prestige is enough to intimidate the younger generation in the court. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhao Yu replaced the imperial card [Changsha Huan Wang - Sun Ce] and equipped it with the newly acquired [Song Renzong - Zhao Zhen], in exchange for the reduction of personal force in exchange for the accelerated development of Da Chu.

Zhao Yu has made up his mind. In the following time, besides staying in the palace, he will work hard to practice royal martial arts and improve his personal strength as much as possible.

After preliminary tests on the school field, the Danyang Elite Soldiers produced by the Han Dynasty were paired with the Divine Arm Crossbow produced by the Song Dynasty, and the effect of one plus one is greater than two. Therefore, the Divine Arm Crossbow can be used as the standard equipment of the Danyang Elite Soldiers, replacing Ordinary crossbow.

What makes Zhao Yu a little regretful is that the "Qingbian Crossbowmen" in Song Renzong's destiny [Wu Jing Zong Yao] need to recruit border barbarians before they can be trained.

Although he formed a blood-based alliance with the tribes in southern Xinjiang, considering that recruiting soldiers from the tribes in southern Xinjiang as soon as the alliance was formed, it might cause misunderstandings and make the already stable situation become chaotic again, so he had to use training to clear the border. The crossbowman's thoughts were temporarily put on hold.

In addition, Zhao Yu's brows gradually furrowed as he thought of the farmland scenes he saw along the way back to Beijing and Song Renzong's negative destiny [constant natural disasters].

This summer may not be easy to get through, so the court and the people must make early preparations.

Just when Zhao Yu was worried about this summer, there was dead silence in the Burmese court after receiving the news of the defeat on the front line.

The capital of Myanmar, Chengtianfu.

In the imperial city, in the Tianhua Hall where the monarchs and ministers discussed matters, Burmese civil and military officials lowered their heads, as if mourning their heirs.

Nguyen Ngoc Thing, the emperor of Myanmar, was sitting on the throne, listening to the officials' reports, his heart was bleeding.

"Your Majesty, our army has returned home a few days ago! Of the [-] troops who went on the expedition, more than [-] people died due to the poisonous plot of the Chu thieves, more than [-] people were captured, and more than [-] people were separated on the way back. Only more than [-] people returned safely, and the commander-in-chief Wu Jianning was killed in the battle. Of the thirty giant elephants sent by His Majesty to help the battle, only a dozen are left..."

The official who reported the losses in this battle to Ruan Yucheng broke down in tears at the end of his speech.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't stop there. I, the spy of Yingyang Guard, got the news that the Emperor of Chu brazenly slaughtered all the captured soldiers of our dynasty and built a Jingguan at the border."

Chen Guochang, the commander of the Yingyang Guards, said even more bitterly.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of War has received an urgent report that a small group of troops from Chu State have sneaked into our territory and harassed the border states. Although the losses were not great, the people were frightened overnight and their hearts were in turmoil."

An official from the Ministry of War came out to report.

One bad news after another made Ruan Yucheng increasingly irritable.

The [-]-strong army was wiped out in one battle. Even though Burma was strong, it was a bit overwhelming for a while. What made the Burmese emperor even more heartbroken was that of the [-] giant elephants sent to help, only a dozen returned safely.

Nearly twenty giant elephants were left in Chu State, and almost one-tenth of them were lost. This was undoubtedly a huge weakening of Myanmar's military strength.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Yucheng sighed softly:

"My lords, it seems that I and Lord Qi have underestimated the emperor of Chu. It seems that this man is capable of overthrowing Huang Jingming and regaining control of the government."

Seeing that Ruan Yucheng, the emperor, took the initiative to take responsibility, all the civil and military officials in the palace quickly knelt down on the ground and said:

"I can't share your worries with you, so I still ask you to punish me!" Ruan Yucheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"You are all people who are doing things according to my will. If you are wrong, I was wrong first. General Wu died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country. The souls of nearly [-] soldiers cannot return home. This is all my fault! Imperial Master , I would like to invite the masters of the Four Pillars Academy to hold a water and land ceremony in the capital to pray for my monarch, ministers and people. I don’t know what the master’s intention is?”

After hearing Ruan Yucheng's words, the presiding officer of the Four-Pillared Monastery, who stood before the emperor with his hands clasped together, the Imperial Master, the Great Compassionate Dharma King Jin Yunzheng, softly announced the Buddha's name and said: "Your Majesty has the sincerity to bring peace to the people. We, the monks of the Four-Pillared Monastery, should do our best." Help.”

"That way, I feel at ease."

Seeing that the other party agreed to this matter, Ruan Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the ministers below, and continued:
"As for the Chu State sending troops to harass, each government can mobilize young people to form militia, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and defend the city. Seeing that the Chu army cannot gain any advantage, they are also worried that the supply line will be cut off by our army, and they will retreat over time. As for the court The Chinese army must not move lightly unless absolutely necessary."

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials below all bowed their hands and obeyed the order.

They also understand His Majesty's difficulties.

In the southwest of Burma, the Yue Kingdom was preparing to avenge its defeat the year before last.

At this sensitive moment, the Burmese army, which had already suffered a major defeat at the hands of Chu, must not disperse its forces any longer.

Ruan Yucheng rubbed his eyebrows and said a little tiredly:

"Now the imperial court must concentrate on dealing with the invasion of the Yue Kingdom. As for the Chu Kingdom, don't make any big moves for the time being. Commander Chen, ask your Ying Yang Weiduo to collect information about the Chu Kingdom for future reference by me and the Ministry of War."

"I accept your order!" Chen Guochang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ying Yangwei has also inquired about the results of Qi's troops."

Ruan Yucheng had a look of interest in his eyes and asked, "Oh? What was the result of the war in Qi?"

This time the Burmese State sent troops to the Chu State, it was the Qi State that coordinated it. Now that their side was defeated, they naturally wanted to know the situation on the Qi State's side.

"Your Majesty, the navy of Qi was almost wiped out in the first battle, and the commander of the navy, Zhang Zhaoxing, died in the Canglong River."

Chen Guochang said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, whispers suddenly sounded in the hall, and the faces of all the civil and military officials showed more or less gloating looks.

People all have such bad habits. When they are unlucky, what they want to see most is not that their companions have gained something, but that the other person is as unlucky as themselves, or even more unlucky.

These civil and military performances of Myanmar truly and unmistakably confirm this truth.

Ruan Yucheng felt a little better when he heard that Qi had also lost troops and generals, and asked:
"Suffering such a disastrous defeat, what will Master Qi do?"

Chen Guochang had a strange look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty! The Lord of Qi has sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty. I hope the emperor of Jin can send envoys south to mediate peace negotiations between Qi and Chu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent.

what?
The Burmese civil and military officials completely did not expect that Qi State, after losing for a while, would actually ask for peace from Chu State, and even went so far as to ask Jin State to come forward and force Chu State to accept peace talks.

You must know that Qi State, like Burma, believes in Buddhism, while Jin State has believed in Taoism for more than two hundred years since the founding of Taizu.

Taoism and Buddhism are fiercely competing for their respective beliefs, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that they are "dead enemies of each other"!
The Qi State, which believed in Buddhism, actually went to the Jin State, which respected Taoism, to come forward. If others mentioned this scene, even the civil and military officials of the Burmese State would not believe such a ridiculous thing.

But the person who spoke was Chen Guochang, who was in charge of Myanmar's secret espionage agency Flying Eagle Guard, so they couldn't help but not believe it...

There was silence in the court for a long time before the ministers managed to digest this ridiculous news.

Among the three kingdoms of the Central Plains, Jin had the strongest national power.If the Jin State uses force to force the Chu State to bow its head, there is a [-]% chance that the peace negotiation will be successful...

Ruan Yucheng's eyes flashed with thoughts.

At this moment, a courtier gritted his teeth and walked out of the queue quickly, holding a wat tablet in his hand, and said loudly to Ruan Yucheng:

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to send envoys to the State of Chu to negotiate peace with it!"

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of opposition in the court.

"This is a big fallacy! Let me ask you, won't we avenge the blood feud of our [-] soldiers? The emperor of Chu State built the heads of our soldiers on the border as a monument. This is such a shame and humiliation. As a person of Burma, , how can you swallow this breath!"

"Are you willing to be the dog of the Chu Kingdom while eating my big Burmese salary? A seller's pursuit of glory is nothing more than this!"

"Your Majesty, please kill this animal to warn others!"

Facing the angry situation, the courtier sneered again and again. Facing Ruan Yucheng on the throne, he raised the wat tablet in his hand above his head and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, what I have just said is a plan for my country. I would like to ask all my colleagues. What if the Chu State suddenly sends troops while our country is at war with the Yue State? What should you do? Do you have any strategies to prevent the enemy from retreating? "

Previously, the two countries of Burma and Qi jointly sent troops to suppress Chu, but the emperor of Chu defeated them with one enemy and two, and all suffered a loss of troops and generals, which was a humiliating situation.

Now that our side is about to have a war with the Yue Kingdom, if the Chu Kingdom suddenly intervenes during the war with the Yue Kingdom, they, the Burmese Kingdom, will not be able to bear it.

In this case, it is better to lose some property, lose some face, negotiate peace with Chu State early, and concentrate on dealing with Yue State.

As for this momentary humiliation, there will always be a day to get it back!
Hearing the other party's words, the minister who was still protesting was like a duck that was choked, and he couldn't say a word for an instant.

Wu Jianning is already regarded as one of the most famous generals in Burma. Even when he faced the Chu army, he could only be defeated and killed.

Facing the Chu army, who else would dare to say victory?

Aren't you afraid of following in Wu Jianning's footsteps?
After thinking about this, it is no wonder that they dare not say anything.

At the same time, several courtiers came out one after another and reported to Ruan Yucheng:
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my country and the people, let's negotiate peace!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to consider the future of my country, endure the pain for a while, and concentrate on defeating the Yue Kingdom army first, and then settle the accounts with the Chu Kingdom before it is too late!"

"If your Majesty agrees, I would like to serve as an envoy to the State of Chu to negotiate peace!"

After taking a deep look at the ministers, Ruan Yucheng closed his eyes helplessly. He was really unwilling to surrender to the little emperor of Chu State like this.

But in order for the court to concentrate its efforts on the upcoming war, he had to do this.

Even if you become an emperor, everything will not go as planned...

After sighing softly in his heart, Ruan Yucheng struggled to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth.

"Since all the ministers are interested in negotiating peace, I will do my best and respond to your request by sending envoys to discuss peace."

"There is nothing more holy than Your Majesty!"

Listening to the compliments from the officials below, Ruan Yucheng felt even more ashamed.

Is this a sage?

No, it's a shame!

Today's shame will be repaid tenfold and a hundredfold one day!
Ruan Yucheng secretly swore in his heart.

Ruan Yucheng cheered up and asked the ministers: "My lords, who is willing to go to Chu as my envoy to discuss peace talks?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

Among the ministers, a courtier quickly stepped out of the queue and bowed to Ruan Yucheng.

Ruan Yucheng followed the call and turned out to be Huang Yunting, the Minister of Rites.

"Okay, I am happy that Huang Qing is determined. I will follow your request and use you as the envoy of the envoy to the state of Chu. I will leave the peace negotiation to Huang Qing."

"I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Huang Yunting said loudly.

After the monarch and his ministers agreed on many matters such as the content and bottom line of the peace talks, Ruan Yucheng just signaled his withdrawal from the court.

After all the officials bowed and left, Ruan Yucheng sat on the throne and waited for a while, when he saw Chen Guochang, the commander of Yingyang Guard, returning to the Cultural Hall from the side door under the guidance of his chamberlain.

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."

Chen Guochang bowed to Ruan Yucheng.

"Today's affairs in the DPRK have greatly damaged the image of our DPRK in the hearts of the people. I called you here to ask if you have any solution."

Chen Guochang lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I will ask Ying Yangwei to spread the news among the people, saying that there are ministers in the court who are afraid of Chu's military attack and are determined to seek peace. Seeing that the souls of the [-] soldiers are hard to return, Your Majesty is extremely sad in his heart. He had planned to fight to the death with Chu. However, there was no choice but to have the Yue Kingdom sharpening their swords on the border outside, and the courtiers inside trying to persuade each other. For the sake of my country, your Majesty, you suppressed the grief and anger in your heart and negotiated peace with the Chu Kingdom. However, your Majesty would never dare to face the humiliation of this defeat. Forget, one day, Chu will have to pay with blood."

After hearing this, Ruan Yucheng nodded with satisfaction.

He is indeed the person I trust the most!

He was very satisfied with this strategy.

Thinking of the little emperor of Chu, Ruan Yucheng's face became extremely solemn and said:
"Even if you are negotiating peace with the Chu State, you must not forget to infiltrate Ying Yangwei's tentacles. It is best to place people around the people who are trusted by the emperor of Chu State, or even directly instigate them to rebel. But you must remember, The kings and ministers of the Chu State are not people who take things for granted, so you must be cautious and careful in your actions, and don't reveal any flaws."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know the stakes and will be careful."

Chen Guochang Surong replied.
