The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 668

Liu Bang felt that he should be called king. If he didn't call himself king now, then what was the purpose of all his life and death struggles?
Jia Xu seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts, but he didn't suggest that he should become king at this time. Instead, he suggested that he hoard food and become king slowly.

Han Xin may not care whether he is king or not.During this period of time, this man's ambition gradually became apparent. The whole army only knew Han Xin's military order, but not his own.

If it weren't for Han Xin's ability to govern the army, he would not tolerate Han Xin to such an extent.

The generals in the army talked about this matter a lot, and Liu Bei let it go. Think about it, if Sun Ce was still alive, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?

"My lord!" Just as Liu Bei was leaning on the railing and looking far away, a young Confucian general walked up to Liu Bei not far behind, and slightly cupped his hands.

Liu Bei saw that it was Sun Quan, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Sun Quan cupped his hands and said, "The envoy from Pei County is now waiting for my lord to reply."

Liu Bei now understands that this is the third time the envoy over there has asked him how he is thinking.

It is said that there are only three things. If people ask me three times and I still refuse to see you, it will really look a little despicable.

"Sun Quan, do you think we should go to the rescue?" Liu Bei was undecided. After seeing Sun Quan, he felt that this person had courage and strategy, so he couldn't help asking.

Sun Quan said hastily: "How dare the last general overstep his authority? Naturally, there are wise men like Sergeant Jia Xu who are considering this matter."

"Haha..." Liu Bei laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's okay to be straightforward, since I'm asking you, I just want to hear your thoughts."

Sun Quan pondered for a while, and then said: "The general heard that the princess of the Han Dynasty promised the lord in a letter that as long as the lord sends troops to rescue and delay Qin's troops, the king of Han will fully support the lord and become king. According to the general, this It’s really a woman’s words, the King of Han has never promised this matter, and taking a step back, I believe the Lord must know what kind of person the King of Han is.”

Having said that, it is basically enough, and Liu Bei can hear it clearly.

Liu Bang refused to admit it when the time came, and he could even bite back, saying that he took advantage of the crisis of the Han Dynasty, and the lion opened his mouth and forced his wife to promise to support him as king.

For this brother of the same family, Liu Bei really knows him too well, and it is not surprising that he can do such a thing.

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "Go and bring the messenger, and I will reply to him now."

"Here!"

Sun Quan bowed his hands and retreated. Not long after, a person with a high ratio came here with Sun Quan.

"I have seen General Liu!" The envoy bowed his hands and saluted, and before he could speak again, Liu Bei said:
"The soldiers under a certain command were filled with righteous indignation when they heard that the Qin army was going north. They wanted to send troops to fight to the death with the Qin army. Naturally, a certain soldier also boosted the morale of the army and prepared to send troops to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. But when will they not fight with me? The national army was defeated outside the Hangu Pass, and suffered heavy losses. Now it is urgently needed to replenish the army. Lu Bu united with Hong Xiuquan of the Heavenly Kingdom, and sent troops to Cai. A certain one can only protect himself now, and really has no time to send troops..."

When Liu Bei said this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and the messenger was very moved in his heart.

"Since the general has a foreign land, he should naturally embrace his foundation." The messenger said.

"The lord has done his best!" Sun Quan on the side also chimed in, "Actually, many people in our army are opposed to sending troops to rescue, beware of heavy losses in the battle with the Qin army..."

"Sun Quan, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei was so angry that Sun Quan immediately shut up.

Seeing this, the envoy naturally didn't think about anything else, so he asked to leave and return to his command.

After sending this man away, Liu Bei ordered all the advisers and generals to be summoned to recruit sergeants for training and preparation for war.

As for the matter of being king, Liu Bei has already mentioned it on the agenda.

The news of Yingbo's defeat spread all over the world, but Lu Bu did not blame Yingbo too much, but ordered the recruitment of doctors from the entire Jin Kingdom to treat the burns of Yingbo and Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing's injury was relatively serious, but fortunately he had excellent physical fitness, so he survived.

As for whether there is any news of Lu Bu's fall to the ground, it is really hard to say.

Back then, Zhao Guo sent troops to rescue Lu Bu, and Lu Bu accidentally killed many people. Now Zhao Guo is facing difficulties. Lu Bu originally planned to send troops to rescue Zhao Guo, but now he has a reason.

In the Battle of Hangu Pass, Jin was ambushed by Zhang Han and suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the [-] troops lost... No one in Fangzheng really went to verify whether this was true.

Lu Bu made a big publicity to the outside world, saying that the state of Jin was extremely weak. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally embarrassed to ask someone to urge Lu Bu to send troops.

In the city of Han, Zhuge Liang left the defense in the north and came here in person to discuss with Sima Yi about sending troops.

Yuwen Chengdu's East Expedition Army remained, and has been stationed in the north from Fengcheng to Yancheng for a generation.

Xue Rengui led the army to garrison from Wuguan to Guangling City, and Xin Qiji led the army to garrison in Qingnilin Army Village.

The reason for these two people is that the former is to prevent Chu State Fan Zeng who occupied Shucheng from sending troops westward, and the latter is not only to prevent Zhao State from sending troops suddenly, but also to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops.

Relatively speaking, Wuguan is considered a natural danger, and the main defense is the Deshengkou military stronghold in the south of Guangling City.

Although Chu State and Qin State signed a covenant, neither of them dared to hand over their backs to their opponents.

Mutual defense, naturally will not be less.

Xin Qiji's vanguard general, Yang Youji, was not by his side either, and it was already too much for one person to guard against two places.

Next, Deng Ai's Zhendong Army and Luo Cheng's Annan Army.

Li Bai's Taibai Army and Li Sunchen's Naval Army were mainly responsible for the defense and patrol of the mangrove army camp on the Yangtze River, and they couldn't mobilize manpower.

After all the calculations, Ma Chao's Zhenxi Army can be regarded as a vacant military force. As for the Zhenbei Army under Sima Yi's direct control, it is naturally cheaper than Zhuge Liang, and has long been arranged to garrison in Fengcheng.

Now that Zhuge Liang has counted the strength of the troops, Deng Ai Zhendong Army is the one who can be recruited directly to fight, and Chang Yuchun and Feng Sheng are the two vanguards on the left and right, which can be regarded as a relatively strong army in the south.

Next is Ma Chao's Zhenxi Army, Luo Cheng's Annan Army, and finally the Zhengxi Army left by Yuwen Chengdu in Fengcheng and Yancheng in the north, and Sima Yi's own Zhenbei Army.

It was only then that Zhuge Liang discovered that the emperor's attention to the Hancheng war zone had reached a heinous level.

Free up your hands, and a whole 15 troops appeared out of thin air!
In the case of the main force of the Han country being transferred out, the Han country can definitely be easily destroyed.

"This is God helping me!" After Zhuge Liang counted the number of people, his whole face was radiant, and he wished he could lead the army to carry it on his back now.

How could Sima Yi fail to see what Zhuge Liang was thinking?
"Master Shangshu has a perfect plan for the Northern Expedition?" Sima Yi laughed.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment: "The Han country is short of troops now, I want to combine the large army, and attack the north with a destructive momentum, and take Pei County in the shortest time!"

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Since Master Shangshu has his own good plan, so-and-so will not make a fool of himself here."

"The general is too modest." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If you have a good plan, you might as well talk about it."

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said: "My Lord Shangshu's thoughts coincided with that of taking Peixian County with the force of destruction. If this is the case, I will enlist Xin Qiji to lead the army and eat away at every step. If this is the case, I will be able to relieve the Lord. Worry about the future."

"Then everything depends on the general!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"You and I are planning for the emperor." Sima Yi cupped his hands towards the north.

On the same day, the five military orders of Hancheng came out.

Zhuge Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Great Qin Dynasty, ordered that Ma Chao, General of Zhenxi, Deng Ai, General of Zhendong, and Luo Cheng, General of Annan, immediately lead the army on their backs, and stationed along the Daohuai River, waiting for the next instruction from Zhuge Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War.

The 40-strong army marched northward, and the lineup of the army was very long, covering more than [-] miles.

Zhuge Liang also returned to Fengcheng first.

The guerrilla general Yu Ziqi was the first to call for battle, willing to cross the Huai River first, kill the enemy generals, and kill the generals of the Han army.

Zhuge Liang was very excited about the general's invitation to fight, but he didn't agree rashly.

A day later, all the troops had arrived. In the Huai River area, there were 15 Qin soldiers lined up, stretching for [-] miles. The scouts of the Han army did not dare to look south to the north of the Huai River.

On the general platform, Zhuge Liang was still dressed as usual, without military uniform.

"The Suppressing North Army does not have a general, and I will immediately appoint Yang Yanzhao as the Suppressing North Army's leading general. In this battle, if you make great achievements in battle, I will recommend you to be the commander of the first army!" Zhuge Liang said loudly.

Yang Yanzhao in iron armor drove forward, cupped his hands and said: "The last general Yang Yanzhao takes orders!"

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Ever since General Yuwen Chengdu was promoted to General Zhengdong, no one has ever claimed the title of General Zhengdong. I have been ordered, so Li Guang is now being promoted to be the chief general of the Eastern Conquest Army, and I look forward to seeing you shine your own brilliance in this battle!"

Li Guang also drove his horse forward and said loudly: "Li Guang, the last general, takes orders!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Guan Xing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and many other generals who were not far away, and he deliberately raised his voice a little bit.

"I know that many of you have never shown your talents. This Northern Expedition is of great significance to our court. Whether you can become famous in one fell swoop and make great achievements depends on you!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers of the three armies yelled loudly, especially Yu Ziqi, who yelled the most. After waiting for so many years, it finally came to this moment.
