Chapter 597 Six Armies
The Eastern Army headed by Haotianzong and the Mercenary Group met in Dragon Slayer City as scheduled. Ma Su personally inspected the three armies and decreed to divide the three armies into six armies.
The first is the army of the Holy Kingdom of Xilai, that is, the army composed of the Moma Guild, called the Imperial Army; the second is the family army headed by the Horse and Miao tribes, supplemented by the Shui and Qin tribes; The third branch is the army of sects headed by Haotianzong, supplemented by Liuyunzong, Qifenggu and other sects; the fourth branch is the army of monsters headed by the double-headed snake; The army; the sixth is Xiangxian's army headed by the surrendered army.
After the arrangement of the six armies was completed, Ma Su selected troops and appointed the commander-in-chief of the six armies; then appointed Han Yu as the commander-in-chief to lead the six armies, and Liang Qixian as the military adviser.
The selection and appointment of the rest of the positions is the responsibility of the commander of each army.
After more than ten days of preparation, the six armies were all ready to go, and they had already reached the prairie on the south bank ten miles north of Tulong City, and the battle was imminent.
As for the Lu people, they have also posted many battle posts, intending to compete with the Holy Kingdom of Xilai in Chishui, to fight to the death, and to decide whether to fight against each other. The soldiers on the side of the Holy Kingdom of Xilai are also full of fighting spirit and high morale, ready to make contributions to the new country and the new master.
However, Empress Kaiyu did not respond to the Lu Dynasty's three consecutive war letters, which made the soldiers of the Sixth Army confused.
After the seventh battle letter was issued, Empress Kaiyu still did not respond. A rumor that "Weak women are incompetent, and Xilai will collapse in one day" spread among the six armies, and everyone began to panic. And this rumor is still sweeping across the land of Jingzhou at the speed of a gust of wind.
The so-called weak girl is naturally Ma Su.
Everyone in the world wondered why the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom of Xilai refused to fight instead of taking down Sun Moon City at a time when they were gaining momentum. And the reason everyone speculates is that most of the Xilai Saints have their own appearance, and wanting to overthrow the Lu Dynasty is like a dream.
Although since the war between the two countries, the Holy Kingdom of Xilai has been advancing all the way, and now it has occupied most of the territory of Jingzhou, besieging the Lu Dynasty in Sun Moon City.
But smart people can see that from the beginning to the end, the Lu Dynasty did not do its best. As for the strength of the Lu Dynasty, no one dared to question it.
Since the defeat of Moxie Mountain, the Lu Dynasty has been shrinking its forces and will not confront the Holy Kingdom of Xilai head-on. Now the purpose of the Lu Dynasty has also been revealed to the world, it is to wait until all the troops of the Holy Kingdom of Xilai are concentrated, and they will be killed with one blow.
It can be seen how confident the Lu Dynasty is in its own strength.
Xilai Shengguo, Central Army Zhang, and Ma Su also went out with the army, but she didn't hold any position in the army. But as the monarch of a country, even if she does not serve, she still has the final say.
At this time, in the army tent, Ma Sugao was sitting at the head position, and the military adviser and the commander of the six armies were sitting on both sides, discussing the strategy to deal with the enemy.
"Your Majesty, people are panicking now. If you don't want to fight again, I'm afraid our army will decline without fighting. This is not a good thing." Ma Pingchuan said with a serious face.
Seeing that the world is about to be in the bag, if the success falls short at this time, there will be suicidal thoughts.
"General Ma, don't be impatient. The general has not returned yet, so we can't act rashly for now!" Jiang Lixuan said. They are all the commanders-in-chief of the armies, and they are all called generals, and Han Yu is the commander-in-chief, so he is called the general.
"Lu Qiongding and Lu Qiongdian are both masters of the third level of Tianwu. Only the general can suppress them. We can only send troops when the general returns." Li Gongju said heavily.
Everyone knows that at this time, refusing to fight will affect the morale of the army, but without Han Yu, they are not opponents of the Lu Dynasty at all. Compared with being defeated, refusing to fight is better.
"Does Your Majesty know where the General is now?" Zhang Tianyi asked. Of those present, Zhang Tianyi has the lowest cultivation base and the lowest background. But now, he can sit on an equal footing with Ma Pingchuan and other Tianwu 2nd level masters, because he is the leader of the casual cultivator army.
As for Zhang Tianyi, no one underestimated him, because even Han Yu had to call him Brother Zhang.
Now Zhang Tianyi is considered a big celebrity in the Holy Kingdom of Xilai, except for Empress Ma Su, everyone in the court will give him some face.
Zhang Tianyi himself never dreamed that one day he would be able to discuss countermeasures with the strongest and most powerful people in Jingzhou, treating them as equals.
However, Zhang Tianyi is also a person who understands current affairs. He knows that he has today's status and prestige entirely due to Han Yu, so not only does he fulfill his duties, but his subordinates are also strictly controlled by him, so even though he is arrogant in normal times A little bit, but everyone still respects him.
Several other people also looked at Ma Su. Now everyone in the world knows that Han Yu is Ma Su's imperial husband. Ma Su probably doesn't know where Han Yu has gone, right?
Ma Su's face turned slightly red, and after thinking for a while, he said, "To tell you the truth, this time the emperor doesn't know where he went. But everyone, don't worry, the general will never ignore us."
Everyone couldn't help being a little disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Ma Su became serious all of a sudden, and said, "You all strictly supervise your subordinates when you go down. The Emperor doesn't want to hear those rumors again."
"Yes!" Several people quickly took orders. Although Ma Su is only a seventeen-year-old girl, she is born with a noble spirit and outstanding aptitude, so everyone is quite convinced of her.
Needless to say, Li Gongju and Liang Qixian are Ma Su's subordinates; Ma Pingchuan is Ma Su's grandfather, but all of this is for the Ma clan, and Ma Pingchuan will naturally do his best; Zhang Tianyi sees that Ma Su is not qualified enough, so he naturally dare not disobey; Commander Xiang Xianjun, not to mention, this is the opportunity to serve the new master with sin and meritorious deeds. Ma Su competes.
Jiang Lixuan has a more delicate relationship. Jiang Lixuan is equal to Ma Su in status and far stronger than Ma Su. Needless to say his seniority, it is absurd for Jiang Lixuan to bow down to Ma Su.
However, it was not because of Han Yu, but because of Jiang Lixuan's initiative. Han Yu's original intention was that Haotianzong was united as an ally of the Holy Kingdom of Xilai. After all, even if Haotianzong was under the rule of the Lu Dynasty, it was on an equal footing with the Lu Dynasty. It was enough to give Han Yu face, so naturally he didn't ask Jiang Lixuan to do too much.
But Jiang Lixuan thought more carefully than Han Yu. At this time, Jiang Lixuan not only represented the Haotian School, but also represented Jingzhou's cultivation sect. The Haotian School can sit on an equal footing with the Xilai Holy Kingdom, but the rest of the sects naturally cannot, so Jiang Li is willing to surrender his status to take the lead. Position.
According to Jiang Lixuan's words, he is not the suzerain of Haotian School now, but the commander of the sect's army, and the commander will naturally belong to the emperor.
With Jiang Lixuan doing this, it will be much smoother for Xilai Holy Kingdom to manage those cultivation schools in the future.
