Chapter 1542: Millions of Armies

Lian Zhuping firstly did not have a very strong military force, and secondly, he did not have a very deep foundation in Qi State. Over the years, the Lian family has of course had its own business. In view of the particularity of the family business, the main connections are in the military.

And the influence of the Chongxuan family in the military... can suppress a family like the Lian family a hundred or a thousand times.

The resources that the two sides can mobilize are not at the same level at all, and there is no need to reflect the gap in intelligence and strategy.

For Chong Xuan Sheng, Lian's game of chess has never been difficult. The only question he needs to consider is what role the Lian family can play, and when is the most appropriate time for him to end it.

The opportunity to conquer Xia is rare in a century. No matter what plans he had before, he must make concessions for this war.

So I picked up Jiang Wang outside Qi Palace and went straight to Nanyao City.

There was no so-called thrilling scene in the entire process of Lian's seizure of power.

It started suddenly and ended very simply.

Lian Zhuping burned himself to death in the ancestral hall.

Lian Que announced the end of the life card system outside the ancestral hall.

The momentum is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

There's nothing sad or joyful about it.

It's just that old wishes have been fulfilled, and it's just that Jiulong's spirit was once young.

And when Lian Que officially took over the power of the Lian family...

The edict of Emperor Qi has been issued!

Cao Du was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Xia, and Qintian Supervisor Zheng Ruan Yuan and former Prime Minister Yan Ping were appointed as the military advisors.

So the soldiers and horses of Zhao, Yi, Chang, Rong and other small countries in the east were recruited, totaling 300,000, and organized into three armies. Xie Huai'an, the court council official, was in the middle to dispatch them, and simultaneously launched the expedition against Xia.

Three hundred thousand county troops were recruited across the country, led by Chen Fu, the court council official.

The third of the nine soldiers was called Spring Death, Autumn Kill, and Zhu Feng, who was considered the main force in the attack on Xia.

In this expedition, there are two Zhenjun and five Zhenjun.

A million-strong army attacks Xia!

It shows the Emperor Qi’s intention to destroy Xia!

The Great Qi Army God Jiang Mengxiong, who had previously been the most vocal and had the most confidence from both the government and the opposition, did not take charge of the army, nor did he accompany the army - this was also foreseeable. After all, with Jiang Mengxiong’s prestige in the military, he acts as a commander when he goes out and controls the country when he enters. It is difficult to control the army only to control the army...

The military position of Zhenjun Military Advisor was created temporarily. It means that military orders are subordinate to one, and it means the distinction between master and subordinate. Although Ruan Yuan and Yan Ping are both strong in Yan Dao, and their status is more extraordinary than the other, in this battle against Xia, they must obey the military orders of their commander Cao Ji.

The God of War himself was unable to go on the expedition, but several of his disciples, except for Ji Zhaonan who was still fighting behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and had no time to clone himself, the eldest disciple Chen Zeqing and the closed disciple Wang Yiwu were all going to participate in this battle.

Although the fierce butcher Zhongxuan Chu Liang failed to win the position of commander in chief of the Conquest of Xia, he was still the absolute main force in the battle of the Conquest of Xia and personally commanded the Qiu Killing Army.

Only Xiuyuan...

The prisoner electric army was not in the main lineup of this expedition to Xia. Xiuyuan asked for orders to fight for the commander, but in the end he couldn't even go to the battlefield.

The emperor’s heart is truly unpredictable!

The Zhufeng army that silently squeezed into the main force of the expedition against Xia was a powerful army led by Li Zhengyan, the contemporary city-destroying marquis.

Generally speaking, among the nine soldiers of Da Qi, except for the Tianfu Army, which is undoubtedly the strongest army, the other powerful armies have always had their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

But there is also this saying——

The first day of the four o'clock is called spring death, the first day of the four elephants is called chasing the wind!

In short, no matter what considerations are behind it and how it is planned. The army of Qi State going south this time can be regarded as the main force of Qi State, and can fully represent the true force of the Qi Empire.

Not to mention fighting with all the country, it is also the greatest force that can be mobilized while ensuring the suppression of all parties.

"We don't have to think about the emperor's considerations. The commander-in-chief has been appointed, the campaign period has been set, and other things are irrelevant now. What we need to consider next is everything about us in this war."

In the wine bar where Jiang Wang and Lian Que once drank -

Chongxuansheng was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat, talking about the emperor's edict.

The three of them were sitting around a fire pit. There was a large vat on top of the fire pit, and a full vat of wine was burning.

Whole roasted beef legs and lamb legs were placed in food boxes and piled on the table in front of the bamboo mat. There was only a knife lying horizontally between the crispy and fragrant meat.

Lian Que was holding a bamboo water spoon in his hand and scooping hot wine for his two friends in a leisurely manner.

Fourteen, wearing armor and carrying swords, stood alone by the door.

Cooking wine in the winter moon, snow is falling outside the window.

Chongxuansheng continued: "If nothing unexpected happens, Chongxuanzun and I will definitely go into autumn to kill the army. In this war, my uncle will not side with me. The final result can be foreseen - it must be me and Chong Xuanzun each leads an army, and each relies on his own ability on the battlefield. I am not as good as him in a life-and-death battle, but I will not lose to him in terms of leadership alone."

He looked at Lian Que: "By then I should have ten thousand people under my command. These ten thousand soldiers and armors need to be supplied before leaving the country. I want the best."

"I will definitely try my best to cooperate with anything that is not against the rules." Lian Que said very simply.

If you really want to do everything possible, there are actually many places where the Lian family can play a role. For example, doing some tricks when changing the uniforms of Chongxuan Zun's soldiers...

But Zhong Xuan Sheng would not be so stupid or so senseless, and Lian Que would not agree to such a thing.

As long as they abide by the rules, what the Lian family can do is relatively limited.

But Chongxuan Sheng will not be impatient.

He had made a lot of preparations similar to the Lian family's. Accumulating small advantages to become a big one is exactly what he has been doing during the competition with Chong Xuanzun.

Facing Chong Xuanzun, if you can have a slight advantage, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is of no use to say more now. We can only prepare in advance. The rest will be discussed in Xia Kingdom." Chongxuan Sheng picked up the wine bowl and said: "Drink this bowl, Then go back to Linzi!"

The three of them clinked their bowls together and drank them all in one gulp.

The young men who were both unknown a few years ago now have their own careers.

Thankfully, there's still the old mood.

Chong Xuan Sheng was about to get up.

Jiang Wang took out a broken gun from the storage box and handed it to Lian Que: "Brother Lian, can you help me see if this gun can be repaired?"

Lian Que took it and took a look at it, then said: "The most exciting part of this gun is the gun body. The gun head is not that outstanding. It was a bit wasteful when it was made... But now the gun barrel has been broken and its spirituality has been ruined."

He looked at it again and said with regret: "It was completely destroyed."

"Is there no other way?" Jiang Wang asked.

Seeing his serious look, Lian Que stared at the broken gun, thought for a while, and then said: "I can try... but it is almost impossible to succeed."

"Anyway... you might as well give it a try." Jiang Wang said somewhat sadly.

Lian Que then accepted the broken gun.

Then he said: "You should be more careful on the battlefield. If you need my assistance in the future, please let me know at any time."

Of course, Chong Xuan Sheng would not be polite. He worked hard to get help from the entire Lian family. At this time, he only said: "Once the war starts, it will be difficult to be interfered by personal will. I'm afraid we will all have to work hard for a long time... You are the new leader of the Lian family. Do you have any needs?"

Lian Que thought for a while and looked at Jiang Wang: "Do you still remember this place?"

"certainly."

"Remember what we said here?"

"certainly."

Lian Que took out a dark square metal plaque and said, "Do you still remember this thing?"

Jiang Wang smiled: "It's your life card."

Chong Xuan Sheng, who was on the side, of course remembered this gadget. When Jiang Wang handed it back to Lian Que, he was very reluctant to part with it for Jiang Wang.

Lian Que said: "If you have a chance, take it to Chitan and find something for me."

"Chitan?" Jiang Wang didn't know where this place was.

Chongxuan Sheng was thoughtful: "Two hundred miles west of the capital of Xia, there is a pond called Chi. According to legend, the emperor of the People's Republic of China made the dragon son into nine bridges, and Chi kissed and wept eastward, and his blood and tears turned into a cold pond."

Seeing Jiang Wang looking over in surprise, he said angrily: "The content in "Daxia Fangzhi". Do you really think you are the only one who studies? I will always do this homework before going to war!"

Jiang Wang then asked Lianque again: "What are you looking for?"

Lian Que said: "I don't know either, but the original site of my Lian family's homeland was the current Xia Kingdom. I only know that there may be something left by the Lian family's ancestors in Chitan, but I don't know what it is. What. I am the leader of the Lian clan now. Although this fortune card has been solved, it is still closely related to me. If you have a chance, take it for a look. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a chance. After so many years, it may be nothing. There’s nothing left…”

The Lian clan of Qi State was the one who moved here when the country was broken and fled.

But Lian's homeland had already been destroyed before the Xia Kingdom occupied it. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers have changed, and the years have passed. It is indeed difficult for anything from the past to exist.

There may be something hidden in Chitan, and this matter is said to be the secret of the Lian family, but as time goes by, there may not be any hope.

Jiang Wang took the life card and said seriously: "If there is a chance, I will go and take a look."

Lian Que only raised his wine bowl and said, "I wish you both great success."

Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng drank another bowl before leaving together.

…

…

The overlord of the Eastern Territory once raised the battle flag.

The whole world was shaken by it.

No one in the world can match the direction of the Qi army. Between Qi and Xia, the countries were in panic.

On November 7, the fifty-sixth year of Yuanfeng in the Qi Dynasty, the day after the meeting of the Conquest of Xia Dynasty, the emperor bestowed swords, armor, and seals. Cao Jiu was officially established as the commander-in-chief of the Conquest of Xia, presiding over all matters related to the battle.

Anyone involved in this battle must obey his orders.

So the commander's flag was raised at the commander's platform to give orders to the three armies.

At this time, only nineteen days had passed since Jingguo officially declared war on Muguo.

The all-out war between the two hegemons, Jingmu and Jingmu, is in full swing...

In the western suburbs of Linzi, two large flags stand on the general point platform.

A purple and slightly mid-air Emperor's flag, flying high in the wind, is majestic.

A handsome flag with the word "Cao" embroidered in the middle stands like a mountain.

Cao Jun was all covered in armor, and on the so-called "little wife's bitter face", there was only the majesty of commanding the three armies at this moment.

There are so many famous generals in the world, how many of them can command such a large army and lead a battle to destroy a great country?

This was the most glorious moment of his life.

It is also the greatest responsibility he has ever taken on in his life.

Qintian Supervisor Zheng Ruan Yuan, who was wearing a star-charting Taoist robe, and his former prime minister Yan Ping, who was dressed very plainly, stood behind him. It is to suppress the army and also to demonstrate the majesty of the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

The Qintian Supervisor is very mysterious. Although he has a key position, he is always responsible only to the emperor. He was unable to gauge the changes in the stars and the ups and downs of the country. He often stayed in the Star Observation Tower and had little communication with officials. This is the first time for many people to see him. He looks like a young man and has an elegant temperament. He is really like a fairy.

As for Yan Ping, who had lived in seclusion in Bei County for many years after leaving office, it was said that the emperor personally came to invite him to come out this time. At this moment, I also close my eyes and meditate, hiding like the deep sea, never taking over the spotlight.

Behind Ruan Lu and Yan Ping, the court officials Xie Huaian, Chen Fu, the commander of the Qiusha Army, Dingyuan Marquis Chongxuan Chu Liang, and the commander of the Zhufeng Army, Cuicheng Marquis Li Zhengyan, stood in a row, some with calm eyes and some with solemn expressions.

The people standing on the general platform today are all top figures at the top of the Great Qi Empire. They are gathered together and each has his own style.

No need to say anything, it has already shown the style of the Great Qi!

And under the general platform...

The three armies are lined up, with flags and banners, the men and horses are all quiet, the swords and spears are all sharp, and the soldiers are colliding in a cloudless sky!

It is impossible for all the millions of troops to attack Xia to gather here. A large part of them have already gone to the front line.

At this time, the elites of the three armies of Chunsi, Qiusha, and Zhufeng gathered in the western suburbs of Linzi, with 10,000 people each.

Thirty thousand people spread out, it is already a sea of ​​people, and there is no end in sight.

The elite of the nine soldiers of the Great Qi are as sharp as splitting mountains and slashing clouds.

The middle and low-level generals of the Great Qi Empire, the leading representatives of the Eastern Region countries... all gathered in the audience.

Disciples of famous families, talented people in the army, and stars are shining!

There is the world-famous Jiang Qingyang, and the Zhong Xuanzun who has surpassed his peers... In addition, there are Li Fengyao, Yan Fu, Wen Lianmu, and Bao Bozhao... all gathered together!

Today's Great Qi Empire is indeed full of talents.

And Cao Jie took a step forward on the high platform!

He was originally plain, with a gentle temperament and a bitter face.

This step seemed to penetrate the murderous intent of ancient and modern times, and stepped out from the battlefield where countless heroes existed in the past.

Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!

When you look at him, it seems that you can see countless heroic souls of this great empire standing behind him, like a forest of weapons bursting out with a monstrous military evil, and the fluttering battle flags are flying in the frosty wind. The endless blood shed in the past years has condensed into the red tassel on his helmet.

And his eyes slowly moved across the parade ground, as if he noticed everyone.

He seemed to be encouraging everyone and giving everyone his majesty.

In this quiet and solemn atmosphere, he slowly opened his mouth: "I am not a person who likes to say nice things, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I only want to tell you one thing-"

His voice became magnificent, like a war drum, like a horse's hoof, like thunder-

"We, Cao Jie, will definitely lead you to victory!"

Boom boom boom!

The world seemed to be trembling.

The great power of mankind seemed to be able to shake the world.

Standing on the parade ground, in the roar of the mountains and the sea, Jiang Wang was also unconsciously infected by an atmosphere, and couldn't help but surging with blood.

"Ten thousand victories!" He shouted with the soldiers around him!
