My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 588 If I don’t speak, who dares to say anything?

Two big men came up behind him. Su Chen turned aside and unfolded the letter under the warm yellow light.

The handwriting on it is still immature, but the writing is smooth and flowing. From the "Father's Announcement" at the beginning, you can tell who wrote it. The nervousness of preparing for the war has gradually eased a lot.

Seeing the words "Father be well", Su Chen smiled: "This kid was probably asked to write it by his mother."

Immediately, he continued reading.

"My father is away at war, everything is well in the court, the country is still peaceful and the people are safe in Daxia, and my son abides by the prince's majesty. Every time there is a court meeting, he will speak, discuss important matters with ministers, or listen on the sidelines, keep it in mind, and face the civil and military affairs, He was always respectful and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Shilang Xun would sometimes take his children to the city market, and occasionally he would go out incognito and visit the countryside to see the hard work of the people.

Following the teachings, the child has never slacked off. Now his studies have made great progress. When his father comes back, he will take the exam at any time. His father will definitely praise him. By the way, the child has grown taller recently. The mother said that the child has grown taller. He ran very fast, which even startled the queen mother. "

Only when I wrote this did I reveal the innocent and playful innocence of a child.

"And... and... the mother took the child and Aunt Wangqiu back to Ding'an to visit the eldest mother. The child also saw another sister! It's really cute, but a bit fierce. She even bit the child, and it doesn't hurt anymore. , but Ding'an's hometown is really lively, there are many people, and they are very affectionate to the child, not the kind of flattering affection, the child can feel it.

It would be great if I could always live in my hometown in Ding'an, with my aunt and grandpa who loves me every day, and I don't have to worry about my mother's arrogant face and endless homework. "

At this point in his words, Su Chen drew a big, bitter smile on it. This was something Su Chen had drawn in front of him. The prince had been taught calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he could control it naturally. The expression he drew, plus The innocence of children is much cuter than what Su Chen painted.

At the end of the letter, the little man was still complaining.

"The two younger brothers are really naughty. When I grow up, I will definitely send them to Yuezhou. Stop bothering me. The Western Regions are not bad. If not, I will leave them on the grassland..."

Seeing the child's complaints, Su Chen didn't care about the arrogant words on it and just smiled at the letter.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were behind, finally read the contents of the letter, their eyes a little dim. After all, they were also people of flesh and blood. Looking at the happy scene, they didn't miss their families at all.

"Tomorrow, in addition to looking for a wife for the Prime Minister, I will also look for a wife for you two."

Dian Wei did not refuse, he put his hands on his waist and nodded.

"I want thick legs, a big butt, and as strong a body as I want. Only in that way will I be able to have children!"

"Where's Hu Hou?"

Xu Chu narrowed his narrow eyes until there was only a slit left.

After holding it in for a while, he pointed to Dian Wei next to him.

"Same as him."

"Ah?!" Dian Wei subconsciously took a step back and was about to pull out the pair of meteorite halberds behind his back. The expression on his face was ferocious, filled with murderous intent, "Zhongkang, I will treat you as your companion in life and death!"

"What I said about finding a woman is the same as what you said!"

Xu Chu held his hands in front of his chest, made a slight cut between his mouth and nose, and turned his face away. He was probably misunderstood by Dian Wei, which made him a little angry.

"That's pretty much it!" Dian Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen, who was sitting in the middle chair, also breathed a sigh of relief. In the warm yellow light, he folded the family letter in his hand, and then placed it under the book "My China".

Leaning back in the chair, looking at the candlestick on the table, the expression on his face softened. He felt indescribably happy after traveling to a foreign land, receiving a letter from home, and seeing his son's words.

'Brat. '

Su Chen smiled and looked at the candlelight and cursed softly.

The night turned over, and a new day began with the white fish belly exposed in the east. The troops stationed in Satila City moved their camps to the wilderness outside the city as the winter snow gradually melted. After the terrain opened up, various trainings also started in the wilderness. .

Su Chen even organized a confrontation between the various armies. The light cavalry among the regular main force were also assigned to Lu Bu's string-controlling wolf cavalry and Ma Chao's flying Qiang cavalry to receive some training.

All this is to avoid it as much as possible, so that the casualties can be reduced in tough battles in the future.

Learning from each other is also a common skill that an elite army should have.

Su Chen also specially came outside the city to watch how Ma Chao led the cavalry of the two armies and the flying Qiang cavalry to run in the wilderness, and taught them the essentials of riding, archery, and formation charging.

As Subotai of the Mongolian army, Po Tianhuang also followed over and observed with an extremely humble attitude.

Time passed slowly, and on the grounds of various military schools, there were shouts of killing. Groups of cavalry in the fields were constantly changing formations, training on horseback and shooting.

Behind Su Chen who walked through each camp, in addition to Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, Long Qie, Subotai, An Lushan and other generals, Xiang Yu also took the initiative to follow these days to observe the drills of various armies.

Sometimes, the overlord of Western Chu would go to the school field in person, name a few brave military junior high school students, confront him, and give him some instruction in martial arts. At the same time, he would also let the surrounding soldiers learn one or two moves, hoping that they would be able to fight on the battlefield in the future. Survive.

A simple long stick pushed away the two lieutenant generals approaching from the left and right. After Xiang Yu stopped his momentum, he threw the long stick to others. His mighty figure held his hands behind his back in the middle of the field, and his powerful voice drowned out the shouts around him.

"You are all veterans. You should know that on the battlefield, you cannot be kind to women... When you meet the enemy, don't give him a chance to strike a second blow. Try to cut the opponent's arm in hand-to-hand combat... On the front line, Get closer to your comrades, but not too close. Be careful and kill the comrades with red eyes as enemies!"

His words made the surrounding group of arrogant soldiers burst into laughter.

After Xiang Yu finished teaching, he turned and left, returned to the emperor on the edge of the school field, and walked with everyone to the big tent over there.

"What troops will your Majesty decide to use?"

A group of military generals accompanied the emperor Su Chen. A group of soldiers in front of the commander's tent bowed their heads in salute. Su Chen waved his hand to ask them to raise their heads, and then walked into the commander's tent with the curtain opened: "Waiting for the food and fodder gathered by Hasai." It's almost done. Let the Mongolian army prepare rations for three days, and the front army can continue to advance westward. "

Su Chen threw the untied cloak to Wu Zixun, thought of something, and looked at Xiang Yu who was following him.

"What is King Xiang thinking?"

"Hahaha, I have no idea, but my hands are itchy!" Xiang Yu smiled and turned around, sitting on the folding stools on both sides with everyone. When we go into battle, even my brother Long Qie feels resentful towards Your Majesty."

"King Xiang... Where can I..." Long Qie was thinking about other things in the crowd. Hearing Xiang Yu mention his name, he originally had a little joy on his face, but when he heard this sentence, he quickly waved his hands to deny it.

"Huh?!" Xiang Yu turned around and glared over. Long Qie's mouth twitched, he looked at Su Chen, then at Xiang Yu, and smiled: "Your Majesty, King Xiang, do I have it or not?"

The atmosphere in the tent became lively, and everyone cheered and laughed for a while. Su Chen then raised his hand and pressed it, "King Xiang is eager to fight, and I can't wait to do it.

However, the country called Sakprut is definitely more difficult to deal with than the Six Kingdoms and the Japanese pirates. They have grown up, have a huge territory, and a steady supply of troops that can be continuously replenished, so what about the first battle after the spring? Fight, where to fight, the generals can also speak freely. "

"They have more troops than us and consume more food and fodder." Xiang Yu frowned and tapped his fingertips on his knees a few times. "Xiang felt that this first battle was aimed at the spring sowing of these barbarians. I don't believe they don't plant it." cereals."

"What King Xiang said is good, Wu Changshi, you must write it down." Su Chen agreed with Zhuge Liang's strategy of laying out suspicions, and then used King Xiang's strategy of attacking the opponent's spring seed first to confuse Sakpuru. Specially, to test the opponent's strategic purpose.

Moreover, after defeating the two armies of Olain and Lothar this time, from the captive Badli, he probably knew something about the military strength of the Sakprut Empire.

It was learned from Badli that in addition to the regular army, there were also various elite legions, as well as servant armies from conquered tribes and city-states.

This was somewhat similar to the Roman military system back then. Su Chen had guessed that the other party might be a military enthusiast who was obsessed with ancient Rome.

In the middle of the seat, An Lushan stood up in a rare moment, and first bowed his hands before saying: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, wars have always relied on the right time, place, and people, and one of them is indispensable. Before facing off against the opponent, you might as well take these three. If there are none, then let’s find these three ourselves.”

"Hmph, they are indeed rebel material." Xiang Yu dislikes this kind of people the most. If he hadn't come from the same China and was suppressed by Su Chen, Xiang Yu would have killed him with a single knife.

Su Chen walked to the map of Central Asia that had been redrawn by military officials, and gave a more detailed description with Satira as the center and the map of the Satsuma Imperial Palace.

He did not answer directly. He looked at the Chinese characters on the place names and was silent for a moment before raising his hand to signal An Lushan to continue.

"We occupy the plateau and cut down from high to low. This is a favorable geographical location. Today I heard that the northern city-state of the Satsuma people is coming to join the alliance. With the help of people here, half of the people will be united. Now we are at a disadvantage."

Xia Houyuan stroked his beard and nodded. Obviously, he agreed with An Lushan's statement. He immediately looked at Lu Bu opposite.

Lu Bu glanced at the hanging map and said, "Don't ask me about this. A certain family doesn't want to use their brains, they just want to do it."

Obviously, Lu Bu, who had not won a single battle since the beginning of the war, was just as angry as Le Jin, but he still said something.

"The war has already been discussed on the table. Whether and how we can fight it. Why not use the families who have tasted the benefits? Those Satsuma people who deserve to be killed can be killed directly."

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, there will be a war for you!" Su Chen smiled, "However, it's really time for the aristocratic families that Marquis Wen just mentioned to contribute. I was surprised when Marquis Wen thought of this. ”

"I read a few books with my daughter." Lu Bu rubbed his forehead with an annoyed expression: "As you know, a certain family loves their children the most."

Everyone in the tent laughed again, but it was not a mocking laugh, but a knowing laugh. They were all people who had died once, so they naturally understood how rare it was to have their loved ones by their side.

Not to mention Lu Bu, if Dong Zhuo became free and easy-tempered, he would inevitably miss his adopted daughter who was far away in Liangzhou.

"Marquis Wen is from the Gu family, we all know that."

As the emperor, Su Chen still had to mediate and mediate. With a casual word, he would give Lu Bu a step down.

You can also gain the other person's favor along the way.

Lu Bu sat there and cupped his hands, and gave Su Chen a grateful smile. Then he stood up, his smile faded and turned into a majestic expression.

"No matter how powerful those Pluts are, His Majesty just orders a certain family to chase and kill them when the time comes."

After saying all these words, all the generals in the tent unanimously agreed. Not long after, Liu Sheng's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, there are envoys from the barbarians outside asking to see you."

Needless to say, everyone could also guess that it was the envoy from the northern city-state of the Satsuma people. Su Chen walked back to the long desk and sat down: "Let him in!"

The tent was opened, and the chilly wind blew in, followed by the temperatureless skylight, and two figures walked in.

Wearing thick straight leather robes and holding a long staff that should be an envoy's, both of them were dressed in similar ways. They had brown hair, deep eye sockets, and strong bodies.

As soon as they came in, they saw Eastern generals who looked like wolves and tigers, such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Xu Huang, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, etc. They all tilted their heads one by one and looked at the foreign barbarians who came in fiercely.

The two people who came in were a little frightened by the intertwined gazes. They walked gingerly through this chilling sight. After stopping, they quickly made a Satsuma cross-shoulder gesture towards the Emperor of Xia who was sitting in the first place on the opposite side. present.

After all, the murderous spirit in the tent was too strong. After the two of them saluted, their knees became a little shaky, as if they couldn't bear the pressure and softened.

Then he knelt down on the hard soil with a thud.

Soon, the translator came in and Su Chen talked about the alliance without mincing words.

Regarding the alliance, he and Zhuge Liang had already discussed the matter and gained approval from most of the generals in the tent.

After all, it can solve the problem of geographical location and people, and it can also use the opponent to attract a group of Sakprut troops to reduce the pressure on this side.

However, Su Chen could not agree to the alliance so quickly. Instead, he used Satila as a bargaining chip to ask for food from the other party.

The other side also expected this, not to mention the urgent need for the Eastern Army to act as their protective umbrella and share the pressure on Sakprut.

Soon, the alliance was finalized.

Su Chen walked the other party outside the tent with a smile. He watched them get on their horses happily, and hurried back to resume their lives with the imperial edict that Su Chen had sealed.

The timidity that had been forced by the momentum in the tent was completely gone.

"What a merry bunch of barbarians."

Su Chen stood in front of the tent, looking at the busy military camp and the Satsuma envoys leaving with the people who came out. The smile on his face turned serious, "If I don't speak, how can a group of insects dare to make a sound."

"Then...I'll speak first!"

The trumpet sounded in the military camp.

In mid-February, the huge Eastern army that stayed in Satila moved again. The mighty cavalry group was like a swarm of locusts crossing the border. They first pounced on the city of Maiti, and then spread around, spreading the war to western Central Asia.
