Chapter 696: Scale-up

Thank you for the reward of the innocent and kind little pervert!

"Your Majesty, please send a large army to reinforce General Yue Kefeng in order to defeat the despicable Han people as soon as possible!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked respectfully towards the head of Vesudeva I.

Vesudeva I's face was thoughtful, and at this moment, a loud voice sounded: "It's not so simple to fight the Han people!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but follow the prestige, and the one who spoke was a medium-sized but surprisingly imposing pin armor, dressed in a very different style from the Kushan, and the style of this armor was very similar to that of the Han people.

This person is the general of Zhenxi who led the Western Expedition army to break the rest not long ago, it is interesting to say, the ancestor of this general is actually the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Han people who fled from the Western Regions, not to mention that to this day, although his blood still has Han blood, but he also has the blood of the Guishan Dayue clan, but the Han blood still occupies more.

"General Zhenxi, what do you mean by that? Oh, I forgot, you still have Han Chinese blood in your veins! "The Chancellor of the Exchequer meant something to the point.

General Zhenxi ignored the Minister of Finance and came out to Vsudeva I with a fist and said, "Your Majesty, my ancestors are Han Chinese, so I know the Han people better than everyone here!" If we think that we can easily defeat the Wei army, we are afraid that we will end up suffering the bitter fruits! ”

Vesudeva I frowned and did not speak, and the Minister of Finance sneered when he saw this: "General Zhenxi, you are a Han Chinese, of course you speak for the Han people!" ”

General Zhenxi glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer coldly, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back. I couldn't speak for a long time.

General Zhenxi smiled contemptuously and raised his voice: "You must all know the performance of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions hundreds of years ago. In every battle they were outnumbered by their opponents, and yet in every battle they won! ”

As soon as these words came out. Everyone's expressions turned ugly.

General Zhenxi continued: "What I mean by this is that we must not be blind and arrogant and carelessly underestimate the enemy! The Wei army was able to sweep the northern grasslands in just a few years, and make the fierce Xiongnu and Xianbei work for it, how could it be a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others! ”

Many people couldn't help but show a look of thought, but there were still many people with a look of mockery and hostility, at this time, the prime minister came out and said: "General Zhenxi is reasonable, Your Majesty has to think twice!" ”

The ministers saw that the prime minister also said the same. couldn't help but express a look of thought, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer still sneered.

Vesudeva I pondered for a moment, glanced at the Prime Minister and General Zhenxi, and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?" ”

General Zhenxi and the prime minister glanced at each other, and seemed to reach a consensus through their eyes, and General Zhenxi said loudly: "At present, we have become a tiger rider, and I am in favor of sending reinforcements!" ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was sneering, couldn't help but be surprised, he originally thought that General Zhenxi would oppose sending reinforcements.

Vesudeva I couldn't help but show appreciation, at this time. The prime minister clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that General Zhenxi lead reinforcements to reinforce General Yue Kefeng!" ”

"No way!!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer shouted loudly as if he had been electrocuted, causing everyone present to look sideways.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was aware of the situation, hurriedly explained: "I mean, neither of the two generals is suitable to be the commander-in-chief. What's more, the thirteen eastern provinces that are currently newly included in the territory still need the general of Zhenxi to sit in town! Therefore, I don't think General Zhenxi should be sent to lead the army! ”

Originally, everyone thought that the reason why the Chancellor of the Exchequer was opposed was another reason, but when they heard him say this, they felt that there was some reason.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is not unreasonable." The Prime Minister pondered.

Vesudeva I nodded. He asked, "Who does the Prime Minister think is suitable to lead the reinforcements?" ”

The Prime Minister pondered for a moment: "His Royal Highness Yueduo is wise and mighty, and he can take on this important responsibility!" ”

The prime minister's Yueduo is the eldest son of Yuezes. Although he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he is quite brave. And he is quite enthusiastic about marching and fighting, and of course his ability in this area is also outstanding.

The reason why the Prime Minister suggested that Prince Yueduo go on the expedition was not only because of the above reasons, but also because of the fact that although Vesudeva I was still in good health, as the princes grew up, if they wanted to avoid a power struggle, they had to make one of them the prince, and the eldest prince was obviously the prime minister's choice.

The Prime Minister's suggestion seemed to be in line with Vesudeva I's intentions, so Vesudeva I nodded with satisfaction and raised his voice: "Then Yue Duo will lead the 200,000 elite of the Eastern Army to reinforce General Yue Kefeng!" Yue Kefeng is still the supreme commander of this Eastern Crusade! ”

After the meeting, Vesudeva I returned to the harem with a clear look, and soon fell asleep in the dormitory.

General Zhenxi rode in the same carriage as the Prime Minister, and the carriage slowly headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.

"General, the reason why Your Majesty sent Yue Duo is mainly because he is worried that the Great General and General Yue Kefeng will not be convinced by each other and affect the war! In addition, His Majesty also wants to sharpen His Royal Highness Prince Yueduo a lot, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince will take over such a big empire in the future! ”

General Zhenxi said very solemnly: "Don't worry, adults! As a martial artist, of course he knows that the duty of a martial artist is to obey orders! Ben Jiang was originally just a child of an ordinary Han family, but he was specially favored by His Majesty and finally promoted to the general of the Duzhen side, I can only repay with this enthusiasm and three-foot Qingfeng! ”

The Prime Minister nodded with relief on his face.

Moments later, General Zhenxi bid farewell to the Prime Minister and marched towards his mansion with dozens of his own soldiers.

Early the next morning, Yue Duo, the eldest prince of Guishan, led 5,000 palace guards to leave the Guishan royal city under the send-off of his father and his ministers, while at the same time, the 200,000 elites in the east had already left the station.

They will rendezvous at the Ruti fortress in the north.

On the same day, Yue Kefeng personally led an army of 100,000 to the north bank of the Mulberry River and began to build a fortress, and at this moment, the 50,000 Xiongnu elite horsemen who had already entered the Mulberry River quietly returned to the Mulberry River.

Ma Teng originally planned to lead 50,000 Hun iron cavalry to fight the opponent by mistake, but unexpectedly, the opponent took the lead to control the north bank of the Mulberry River and could not find an opportunity to be used, so Ma Teng had to lead the Hun cavalry to temporarily retreat.

After another four days, the 200,000 army led by Cao Cao finally arrived at the fortress of Congling, and to be able to arrive so quickly, in addition to the army rushing day and night, there was also one of the most important factors, the pipeline from the capital to the fortress built by Sima Yi in the past two years.

Two days later, Cao Cao led an army of nearly 300,000 to attack the Kushan army on the north bank of the Mulberry River. (To be continued.) )
