Chapter 1070: Zhuge Liang's New Mission
At the end of July in the 17th year of the Lord's Calendar, a hundred thousand troops gathered in Donglai County, preparing to go to participate in the sixth national war.
Eight hundred boats, boats, battleships, building boats, and lucky boats gathered in Huang County, with strong troops and strong horses.
At the same time, the Iron Cavalry Army, Beiwei Army, Wei Wuzu, Beifu Army, Iron Eagle Scouts and other elite legions assembled together.
In order to compete for two holy-level commanders and twenty king-level/imperial-level generals, Chu Tian had no choice but to send out the main force and go out in full force.
The Iron Cavalry Army absorbed Gao Changgong's Baibao Xianbei, Gao Shun's Suppression Camp, Qin Qiong's Xuanjia Army, and Xu Chu's Tiger Guard Army, with a strong force.
Sun Ce commanded 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong to participate in the battle. As the future generals of foreign relatives, his status is equivalent to that of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also relied on the status of their relatives to rise to the top, but unlike their relatives who had a vegetarian diet, they relied on military exploits to establish their prestige.
Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is not mediocre either.
In this national war, among the 15 generals and advisers, there were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's feather fan scarf, Sun Cemengrui crowned the world. The two are outstanding and well-rounded, and they are representatives of Jiang Zuo's heroes, with high spirits.
In Huangxian City, Li Xiuning was wandering around here protecting Prince Chuwu and several children.
While Zhuge Liang was an official in Langya, he was ordered to accompany the future prince to study, so he was among the crowd.
Among the group of people was Sun Shangxiang.
Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, and Sun Shangxiang all had a bunch of candied haws in their hands, while the younger sister, Chu Qi, could only look at her brothers and sisters pitifully, drooling because of her young age.
"Brother Chu Wu, sometimes we come to learn martial arts."
Sun Shangxiang is about the same age as Chu Wu and Chu Xuan, so they quickly became friends.
Chu Wu said: "I'm afraid of hurting you..."
Suddenly, Chu Wu saw that Ma Yunlu was haunting Huang County with Ma Teng and Ma Chao, so he walked towards Ma Yunlu.
"My force is higher than yours!"
When Sun Shangxiang waved her small fist to demonstrate to Chu Wu, she found that Chu Wu had already left.
in front,
A young girl in green shirt, slim and graceful.
Beside the girl in the green shirt, there are several famous generals from Xiliang——Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and the fledgling Ma Dai.
The Ma family in Xiliang is also rich in famous generals.
Chu Wu greeted the girl in green shirt, who also treated Chu Wu very well.
For some reason, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, pointing to the girl in the blue shirt, he said, "Who is that person?"
Chu Xuan said: "That's Sister Lu'er, Brother Chu Wu likes her."
"Hmph, I will never play with Brother Chu Wu again."
Sun Shangxiang saw that Ma Yunlu was in full bloom, and that she attracted Chu Wu's attention more than her younger age, so she couldn't help curling her lips.
Li Xiuning and Zhuge Liang, who were in charge of protecting the prince and princess, couldn't help but feel ashamed. These little fellows are really big kids.
"You pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Prince."
Ma Teng said to his sons and nephew Ma Dai.
He also didn't expect his daughter to have a close relationship with Chu Wu because she often went to the Xia Palace when she was a child. If this continues, his daughter Ma Yunlu may become the prince's concubine, and the Xiliang Ma family can also rely on Ma Yunlu to take the throne.
Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai were ready to become officials at this time, and they saluted the distinguished Chu Wu one after another.
Ma Dai was a little excited, because he and Chu Wu were generals of the same generation, and they might serve in the East Palace in the future.
Ma Chao is much calmer, he has made many contributions, even if he doesn't have to curry favor with the prince, he can still gain a foothold.
Because Ma Yunlu was older, he was no longer as reckless as before, and he also saluted Chu Wu.
She saw Sun Shangxiang staring at her among the crowd, so she asked doubtfully, "Who is this younger sister?"
Chu Wu replied: "She is the eldest lady of the Sun family."
"Jiangdong Sun's family?"
Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others were all surprised.
Because the Sun family in Jiangdong has taken refuge with all the people, and Sun Jian is in charge of the 300,000 Jiangdong army, the Sun family in Jiangdong has not only not declined, but has become more prosperous. It is currently the number one family in Jiangzuo.
"Sister Sun, what's your name?"
"snort……"
Sun Shangxiang refused to tell Ma Yunlu his name.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to talk briefly with Ma Teng.
If you want to be the Minister of the Interior, it is natural to have a closer relationship with other civil servants and military generals.
The Xiliang Ma family is now also a big family, and made great contributions in the expedition and unification of the Han Empire.
"I originally recommended Ma Chao to His Majesty, but His Majesty already has someone to choose."
When Ma Teng talked with Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help feeling sorry.
The commander of the Chutian forces is like clouds, and the generals are like rain. Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry is not qualified to go to the sixth national war.
The main reason is that Chutian himself is equivalent to the commander of the cavalry at the holy level. He has an iron cavalry army and has conflicts with Ma Chao.
Zhuge Liang probably understood Chutian's thoughts, so he comforted Ma Teng: "Your Majesty should have his own thoughts. General Ma Chao is brave and guards Xiliang. It just so happens that the Western Regions are in turmoil recently. If something goes wrong, General Ma Chao can go to help."
"That's right."
After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Ma Teng couldn't help being overjoyed.
Chu Tian was counting the soldiers and horses going out at this time.
Because the sixth national war involved two holy commanders, it was impossible for Chu Tian not to compete.
It just so happened that after the unification of the Han Empire, there was a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, millions of soldiers were killed and injured, and the arsenal and granary were empty. Chutian had no idea of a large-scale conquest in a short time.
Chutian also heard the news of the fall of Dawan Kingdom.
Now that the Dawan Kingdom has fallen, it is a done deal, and Chutian remains calm.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions captured the Dawan Kingdom twice and lost it twice. In the final analysis, it was because the Protectorate of the Western Regions had a small population and insufficient military strength.
If troops are sent to compete for the Dawan Kingdom for the third time, it will lead to a war with Wo Kuotai, and the whole of Central Asia will be turned into ruins.
Before preparing enough food and grass for the expedition, Chu Tian had no intention of going to war with Wo Kuotai in advance.
Fang Xuanling counted all the soldiers, horses, rations, and weapons, and said to Chu Tian: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. The rations on board can be used by an army of 100,000 troops for a month. If there is no rations after one month, once Food and grass are exhausted, Your Majesty can return."
Chu Tian nodded.
Chutian is about to send troops, and Xiao Chuo, Roufu Diji, Huo Qing, Himihu and others come to see him off. Among them, Huo Qing is finally pregnant with a child, but Xiao Chuo still has no sign. Xiao Chuo was even more anxious. Chu Tian will be away for half a year this time, which means she has no chance again.
Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, Chu Qi, Sun Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, Ma Teng and others came to the pier to see them off.
"Father will surely win the battle."
Chu Wu already had some sense of reason, and under the teaching of Xun Yu, who pays attention to the rules, he behaved properly.
"Wu'er, during this period of time, you follow the teachers, cultivate your moral character, learn riding and shooting and firearms, don't slack off."
Chutian has high hopes for his eldest son.
Chu Wu possesses the SSS-level characteristic "Break the boat", which is a divine characteristic that can change fate against the sky at a critical moment and defeat the strong with the weak, so Chu Tian expects the eldest son to grow up.
In addition to riding and shooting, Chu Tian wanted to let Chu Wu know how powerful firearms are, so he also let Chu Wu learn how to shoot firearms.
Chu Tian noticed that Sun Shangxiang seemed unhappy, so he asked Chu Wu, "Wu'er, are you bullying the eldest lady of the Sun family?"
Chu Wu looked innocent: "I don't have a baby."
What a strange thing...
Chu Tian looked at Zhuge Liang again: "Kong Ming, there is a Mr. Shui Jing who lives in seclusion in Xiangyang. During this period of time, you go to Xiangyang to practice. After the experience, return to Langya Kingdom and serve as the lecturer of the Eastern Palace."
Zhuge Liang was startled: "Mr. Shui Jing?"
"A man cannot be judged by his appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. This man is well versed in Qimen Dunjia, and may be helpful to you. I have already greeted him in advance."
"yes."
Zhuge Liang received a new mission from Chutian, which is to go to Xiangyang for training.
Chu Tian can see Zhuge Liang's panel. One of Zhuge Liang's characteristics needs to be learned from Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, before it can be activated.
So this is also the reason why Chutian asked Zhuge Liang to practice. The current Zhuge Liang is not perfect yet.
Chu Tian took care of brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun, and two daughters of the Zhuge family since he was a child. In Zhuge Liang's mind, Chu Tian was equivalent to his half foster father.
Zhuge Liang's reliance on Chutian even exceeds his historical loyalty to Liu Bei.
Chu Tian didn't tell Zhuge Liang that he was cultivated since he was a child, and he directly held a high position in Langya Country. He also specially greeted Mr. Shui Jing and asked Mr. Shui Jing to teach Zhuge Liang the Qimen Dunjia.
This ensures that Zhuge Liang will fully assist Chu Wu in the future.
After Chu Tian arranged tasks for Zhuge Liang, he was going to lead an army of 100,000 to participate in the sixth national war.
"Your Majesty, this is my nephew Ma Dai, who can serve His Majesty."
Ma Teng took this opportunity to recommend Ma Dai, the new general of the Ma family, to Chu Tian.
As a famous general of the Shu Kingdom in history, Ma Dai is famous for beheading Wei Yan.
There are no generals in the Kingdom of Shu, and Liao Hua is the vanguard.
In the later period of the Shu Kingdom, the generals withered, and Ma Dai was regarded as a good general, but Ma Dai's ability was not too strong. The year after Zhuge Liang's death, Ma Dai led his troops to attack Wei, but was defeated by the general of Wei. Jin repelled and beheaded more than a thousand people.
Ma Teng recommended Ma Dai to Chutian, and Chutian naturally had no opinion.
Ma Dai is not suitable to be the chief general, but he can be the deputy general.
[Name]: Ma Dai
[Commander]: 62 (78) [Force]: 79 (85) [Intelligence]: 50 (59) [Politics]: 30 (54)
【Charm】: 74
[Characteristic 1]: Iron Cavalry Assault (A-level characteristic, when Xiliang cavalry launches an impact, attack power +7%, impact power +8%)
[Characteristic 2]: Xiliang Brave General (A-level characteristic, surprise attack on the enemy, personal attack power +15%, the enemy will be easily feared)
[Characteristic 3]: Drive rate Qianghu (A-level characteristic, the probability of Qiang and Di people surrendering is increased, and they are easy to be afraid of)
[Special Arms]: Xiliang Iron Cavalry (seventh-level heavy cavalry, the upper limit is 1,000)
Ma Dai can be regarded as a brave general, who can be a general, but not a handsome man.
It will take some time for Ma Dai to grow up.
"Ma Dai temporarily served in the Second Corps of the Xiliang Army as a cavalry captain."
Chu Tian gave Ma Dai an official position at will.
Ma Teng recommended again: "And the next two sons..."
"Ma Tie playing with horses?"
Chu Tian took a look at the upper limit of the abilities of the two of them.
【Name】: Ma Tie
[Commander]: 55 (70) [Force]: 57 (62) [Intelligence]: 49 (56) [Politics]: 21 (47)
【Charm】: 59
Ma's ability to play is almost the same as that of Ma Tie, and compared with Ma Dai, it is another level behind.
Relying on Ma Teng's influence, Ma Tie and Ma Wan could barely serve as mid-level generals. As for senior generals, they were not capable enough.
Chutian also arranged official positions for Ma Tie and Ma Wan.
Because of the contribution of the Xiliang Ma family, it was only a small matter.
After dealing with Zhuge Liang and Ma's affairs, Chu Tian was ready to go out.
"Ding! The sixth national war is about to start. Ten minutes later, all the participating lords and their legions will be sent to the national war battlefield."
