Chapter 648: The Western Army of the Chu State

Li Zhi is dead!

He hoped for a pile of soil, a tablet with only the word Li Zhi written on it, but Emperor Ma Yue did not listen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info On this night, the Great Qin Palace was covered with white silk overnight, the death knell sounded, and the fast horses ran out of the palace and ran out of Yongdu, and the bills were pasted all over the streets and alleys of Yongdu.

The death of the handsome man is mourned by the whole country!

In the early morning, the whole Yongdu fell into a sea of white, every household hung white flags, and everyone wore filial piety. Even God seemed to be moved by Yongdu, and the snow fell all over the sky.

Countless craftsmen rushed to the lonely mountain, and a few days later, a large tomb of the same material as the tower hall of the Great Qin Palace appeared on the top of the lonely mountain, and the story of Li Zhi's life was written on the monument that was more than one foot high.

Ten days later, Li Zhi came out of his spirit.

The huge coffin came out of the palace, and the royal family personnel, civil and military officials poured out of the nest to give Li Zhi a funeral. Li Zhi has been childless, daughterless, and apprentice, and today the one who walks in front with the spirit card in his hand is the crown prince Ma Chao. And the emperor Ma Yue, the first king with a different surname in Daqin, Deng Hong, supported the coffin. The regulations are so high, as a courtier, it is really unprecedented, or there will be no one in the future.

On the lonely mountain, dozens of veterans ushered in their old handsome.

A bowl of rice and rice, a bowl of fried pork hind leg meat with garlic sprouts, a bowl of mutton soup, the head of the gang Lao Huang held an iron spoon, knocked on the edge of the barrel with a bang, and said, "Dashuai, open rice!" "Countless people wept bitterly.

The funeral of Gushan was carried out for three days, and in the thatched house on Li Zhi's lonely mountain, Emperor Ma Yue and Kaiping King Deng Hong, and the general Deng Pu also stayed together for three days, and no one knew what they talked about, but three days later, Deng Pu went down to Gushan and went straight to Kaiping County, and Emperor Ma Yue also left Gushan subsequently, and the rest of the funeral was presided over by Kaiping King Deng Hong.

The era of Li Zhi of Great Qin ended, and the new era belonging to the Deng clan officially began.

Inside the palace, on the first floor of the tower hall, the crown prince Ma Chao was meeting a guest from the Ming Kingdom. Li Zhi's death can now be basically confirmed to be a conspiracy planned by Min Ruoxi, the queen of the Ming Kingdom, and the Ming, Qin, and Chu kingdoms participated together, but Li Zhi is dead, and there is no benefit in bringing up this matter again, even if he has a big hatred in his heart, because he really wants to investigate, the Deng family of the Qin State will not be able to get rid of the relationship, and the Deng family has now taken over Li Zhi to carry the banner of the Qin State, and the Qin State knocked out his teeth and swallowed his stomach, and he couldn't make a sound. Ma Chao still had to cheer up and negotiate with this figure who was mixed in with the envoys of the Ming Kingdom.

The deceased is gone, life has to go on, according to Li Zhi's estimation before his death, for a long time in the future, the Qin State will be in a very difficult situation, and during this time period, the Qin State needs to trade with the Ming State even more.

"For the death of the handsome, the emperor of the country is deeply saddened." Tian Zhen, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Ma Chao: "I hope that the relationship between the two countries will not be affected by this accident." ”

Ma Chao nodded slightly: "This is exactly what my Daqin meant, and before the big marshal left, he repeatedly emphasized that we and Daming are brothers, and we must help each other and tide over the difficulties together." ”

"The handsome man is far-sighted." Tian Zhen said: "My Da Ming can defeat the former Yue and build a country, Da Qin has helped us a lot, so now that Da Qin has encountered difficulties, I Da Ming will never be stingy with help, before coming, His Majesty was specially advised." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor." Ma Yue said: "We want to increase trade with the Ming Kingdom, we need more food, weapons, and steel. Lord Tian, I think you also understand that the western army of Chu is bound to be ready to move this time, the Qin-Chu border, the waves are about to rise, and our Great Qin border army has always been poorly equipped, so we need better armor and sharper weapons to resist the invasion of the Chu army, and I think Your Majesty the Emperor is also happy to see it. ”

"This is natural." Tian Zhen smiled. "Our business dealings have never stopped."

Ma Chao looked at Tian Zhen and accentuated his tone: "Lord Tian, I'm talking about strengthening trade with the Qin Imperial Court. ”

Tian Zhen raised his eyebrows, "I know what Your Highness means, but I want to ask, your country's border army is basically controlled by the Deng family, if you want to bypass the Deng family and trade directly with His Highness, how can this dead knot be untied?" To put it mildly, the Deng clan gave an order, but I am afraid that any materials from our Ming Kingdom will not be able to leave the Qin-Ming border. ”

"Lord Tian doesn't have to pretend to be stupid." Ma Chao's face was expressionless: "The handsome man is dead, and your honeymoon period with the Deng family is almost over." Anyone can think of what you want to do now. I think that both you and us have a way to get things in quietly, and the border is not an iron wall! ”

Tian Zhen laughed: "When the big marshal was leaving, killing Deng Fang was really a good move." I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in control of the sand ants? ”

Ma Chao's face turned pale: "Deng Fang has controlled the sand ants for too long, and almost made the sand ants his Deng family's family, Lord Tian, you are also doing this, and I am not afraid of the ugliness of the family, just during the funeral for the handsome, Dai Shulun, an important figure in the sand ants, disappeared, and with him, there were nearly one-third of the secret personnel of the sand ants." In particular, the intelligence personnel stationed abroad were almost completely lost. Now Qin has become blind and deaf. It's just that at home, we also control some of the manpower. Sand ants need to be rebuilt. I need your help. ”

Tian Zhen asked, "I wonder what His Highness needs our help with?" It doesn't mean that we need to support manpower, right? He laughed and made an innocuous joke.

"Although the starting point of the Eagle's Nest is late, you have a great expert like Guo Jiuling, and Tian Daren is also a figure who has been in this industry for many years, and the development is extremely rapid, I believe that you will definitely have a certain understanding of some of the personnel stationed abroad by sand ants. After Dai Shulun disappeared, even the detailed books and confidential files of these personnel were gone, and we needed these things. ”

Tian Zhen nodded: "I understand, if you get the details of these personnel, first, Your Highness can rebel, or even carry out counter-infiltration into the Deng family, and second, you can also control more information, which is still very necessary for the reconstruction of the sand ants." Your Highness, do you need us to get rid of these guys who are not loyal to the royal family? ”

Ma Chao looked at Tian Zhen with a smile: "Then there is no need, although they are separated from the royal family, they are still the eyes and ears of the Deng family, and the Deng family, in the final analysis, is still a courtier of my Ma family." ”

"Well, after I go back, I will report to Commander Guo, and I believe there will be an answer that satisfies His Highness."

"Next, our battle with the State of Chu may not end in a short time, I believe that this result will make His Majesty the Emperor of your country very satisfied. So we hope that your country can give us the greatest help. Ma Yue stared at Tian Zhen, "If we can win, then it is not impossible to return Kaiping County to the Ming Kingdom." ”

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Tian Zhen laughed: "Your Highness, when you say this, have you consulted King Kaiping?" ”

"You like King Kaiping?" Ma Chao sneered.

"It's harsh!" Tian Zhen spread his hands.

"That's right, as long as we can get land from the Chu State and get what we want, then, in order to maintain friendship with the Ming State, a Kaiping County is nothing! King Kaiping, he is a courtier of the Qin State, and after all, he is still subject to the great interests of the Qin State. Ma Chao said.

"We'll see!" Tian Zhen said with a smile.

Nanchu, Anyang City. An Ruhai was fully armored, cold as the eyes of an eagle falcon, looking at the Western Army soldiers who were practicing on the school field, from four years ago, 80,000 Western Army was wiped out, the Western Frontier was lost, Anyang was tragically poisoned, he took office, four years, the Western Army finally had 50,000 tigers, from the first year of the battle with the Qin State Border Army after the defeat and loss, since the second year, he has regained the disadvantage little by little, four years, although the Qin Army that now controls the Luoying Mountain Range still holds the initiative in the war, But I can no longer come and go as I wanted as before. Every time they plundered, the Qin army now had to exchange blood for it.

When the news of Li Zhi's impending death came, An Ruhai immediately keenly realized that there would be drastic changes in the Qin State, and the change in the power structure would bring huge shocks, and this would be a great opportunity for him to recover the Luoying Mountains and regain control of the initiative. Although he has not yet received the will of the imperial court, he has already begun to actively prepare.

The entire Anyang County had already begun to mobilize, and when he was almost completely ready, the imperial court ordered him to choose the opportunity to go to war, and the order to recover the Luoying Mountains finally arrived.

The good news came one after another, Li Zhi finally died, Bian Wushuang took office, although he brought 20,000 thunder troops, but Deng Hong went to withdraw 5,000 elites from the 100,000 border army, these 5,000 people, most of them are middle and low-level officers and the backbone of the troops, for An Ruhai, the border army of Qin in front of him has not become stronger, but weaker.

It seems that Deng Hong's determination to take advantage of the Qin and Chu war to clean up the Bian clan was really decided.

Very good, this is the best thing for the state of Chu. The shame of four years ago will finally be washed away.

"General Duan, how is the battle plan formulated?" He turned his head to look at Duan Xuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the side. Duan Xuan's body is getting worse day by day, and now he can only sit in a wheelchair, but An Ruhai does not despise his deputy general in the slightest. It can be said that most of the credit for the formation of the 50,000 Western Army is attributed to this deputy general who seems to be a wasted man. And he is even more familiar with fighting in the endless mountain terrain of the Luoying Mountains. This time, the entire battle plan was formulated by the scissors Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan nodded lightly, coughed lightly, and seemed to have a hard time speaking: "General, everything is ready. ”

"Okay, after the school exercise, you come to tell the generals in detail, this battle, we must take the Luoying Mountains as quickly as possible, the war in the east is not going well, if we are also stuck here, it will be disadvantageous to the National University!" Anru Haido.
