Chapter 29: The Hanyan Marriage
"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom is now being made difficult by the Yellow Turban Army, and the Shen Kingdom has actually taken advantage of the fire to rob and invade many cities in our country. β
"Shen Guo, Second Prince, isn't the entire Eternal Continent filled with gunsmoke and war, how can Shen Guo have time to invade you?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know, Shen Guo's national strength is weak, the land area is not large, and there are not many resources in the country to abuse, so there are not many Yellow Turban troops in Shen State. β
"Oh! I see, I can only blame yourself, who told you to develop the country's comprehensive strength so strong, let those yellow turban thieves target you, if you learn from Xinhan, the national strength is not strong, the people are not rich, they are not in the mood to rob. β
mmmp, you are embarrassed to say, now in the entire Eternal Continent, whoever doesn't know is counting you Xin Han didn't get the Yellow Turban Thieves, who doesn't know that the leader of the thieves, Zhang Liang, is still imprisoned in the prison of Xin Han Kingdom, you are embarrassed to say that Xin Han Country is not strong and the people are not rich, Ma De, our landlords and old wealth are not as good as the people here you eat, and the people of all countries are eager to migrate to live in Xin Han Kingdom. Do you still have the face to cry poor? Are you embarrassed to cry poor?
"Then the second prince, what can I help you?"
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister came this time to borrow troops from the Xin Han Kingdom to help my Yan Kingdom quell the chaos. β
"Oh, borrow troops, what, you come to borrow troops, eh, my second prince, my Xin Han Kingdom has such a small number of troops, and it will be used to defend the territory and protect the territory, where can I lend you troops!
"Your Majesty, why don't you talk darkly! I'm afraid that your country will have no less than one million troops! I'm afraid it's a bit overkill to defend the country of Xin Han with a million male soldiers!"
"What does the second prince mean?" Liu Fei's face was filled with a trace of anger, this Murong Fu is typical of threatening Yu Me, which means that you have a million male soldiers, I know, if you don't lend me soldiers, I will go and report you, to the countries around you, your troops want to swallow them.
"Your Majesty's atonement, the foreign minister didn't mean anything else, but it was rumored that the Xinhan Kingdom had a million male soldiers, so the foreign minister said such a thing, asking Your Majesty for forgiveness. Murong Fu saw that Liu Fei's face became unsightly, knowing that what he said just now might offend him, he hurriedly apologized to Liu Fei, he came this time to make friends between the two countries, even if he couldn't borrow troops, he couldn't offend Xin Han.
"Haha, the second prince is too worried, although I don't have a million soldiers, but Xin Han and Yan Guo have always been good friends, and I am willing to support my friends. But the second prince, you also know that the dispatch of the army not only requires grain and grass first, but more importantly, the purpose of the march, only when the purpose is clear, I can have a reason to send troops, so as not to be blamed by the nations. β
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, this time Xin Han sent troops, all the military supplies spent were borne by Yan Guo, as for the second point Your Majesty said, the foreign minister and his father have communicated, His Majesty and his cousin Yu Yan are of the same age, and his father gave his cousin as a princess, married to His Majesty the Emperor of Xin Han, and married to Xin Han State. Since then, Yan Guo and Xin Han have become in-laws. β
"Princess Yuci, marry me Xinhan. That's a good reason!"
"Then I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor can agree to the request of the foreign minister!"
"I must promise to Sa, come to someone, and pass on my will, so that Bai Qi, the generalissimo of the Vermilion Bird Legion, Zhang Liao, the generalissimo of the Qilin Legion, and each legion will select 50,000 people, with Zhang Liao as the vanguard, and Bai Qi as the rearguard, and go north with the second prince to get rid of the thieves for the Yan Kingdom, and protect my Xinhan Imperial Princess, if my imperial concubine has any losses, the two of them will come to see me. β
"Obey!" Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately said, Zhang Liang knew Liu Fei, he wanted the soldiers of all legions to go through the baptism of blood, only in this way can they truly forge elite talents.
"The foreign minister thanked Your Majesty!" Murong Fu was really happy, this time he was able to borrow troops successfully, and he was a little more in front of his father.
"The second prince doesn't have to be polite, just go with the eunuch, and the two marshals will cooperate with the two princes. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the foreign minister will retire!"
"Your Majesty, it's really just 100,000 soldiers and horses for the two marshals Zhang Liao and Bai Qi, I'm afraid that I won't be able to repel the Shen State that invaded Yan State. β
"I know, but we can't expose the strength of the country, no matter how the outside world speculates, as long as we don't expose ourselves, they still don't have any way or excuse. I only hope that Bai Qi and them can baptize the troops through this war, so that they can see the real war, and maybe in the near future, the Xinhan Kingdom will face an embattled war. β
When receiving Liu Fei's order, Bai Qi immediately gathered the 100,000 soldiers of the entire Vermilion Bird Legion, and gathered everyone today, there is an important thing that needs to be done, but Ben Shuai will say in front, this operation is afraid that there is no return, to put it bluntly, it is ten deaths, if everyone is afraid, then take a step back, Ben Shuai will not blame everyone, even His Majesty will not blame everyone, if everyone does not retreat, Ben Shuai can think that everyone is not afraid of death, then I will randomly name you, now give you a minute to think about it, think about it, quickly take a step back, or return to your original barracks, continue trainingγ
A minute has passed, none of the 100,000 people in the entire Vermilion Bird Legion have taken half a step back, Bai Qi is also happy to see this, none of the soldiers he brought out are bad seeds, they are all good men with iron bones, if it were not for the cruelty of the war, Bai Qi would not want them to die, but this is related to the majesty of His Majesty, and the marriage between the Xin Han Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, so he has to come up with the most secure way.
The lieutenant general is out, and from today onwards, the Suzaku Legion will be handed over to the lieutenant general, and you will be in charge of the drills of the entire regiment and the defense of the border, and if the marshal is unfortunate enough to return, you will temporarily take the position of marshal until the imperial court sends a new marshal to take office.
Marshal, let me take people to this operation, you stay in the legion. The last general will complete the task even if he is crushed to pieces!
No, no one can replace me in this operation, this is a military order, a military order that all generals must obey. Now, Ben Shuai began to order people, and those who had wives and children at home came out of the queue and scrubbed a batch. Well, there is only one only child in the family, and a group of them came out of the ranks, and the rest is about 60,000 or 70,000 people, and Bai Qi selected 50,000 people from among them, and these 50,000 people will follow him to conquer foreign countries, maybe about 10,000 people can survive this calamity, be able to achieve fame, and return to their hometowns, and more to bury their bones in a foreign land.
Zhang Liao on the other side also used the same method to select 50,000 people and followed Zhang Liao to the north.
"Big brother, are we going to carry out some mission? Isn't it particularly difficult? Or you send me 10,000 horses, I'll kill him, and then you can lead the other people to follow. β
"In the barracks, there is only a military position, you want to call me Generalissimo, if you are unruly like this again, then I will send you home to farm immediately!"
"Ah, I don't want to, I don't want to go home and farm, I'll just call you Generalissimo, I'll just listen to you, you must not drive me away!"
"Yide, why don't you go home, your parents are old, you and my brothers are both in the army, in case they all die on the battlefield, who will give them two elders to die?"
"Big brother, don't persuade me, I won't go back anyway, if you want to go back, you will go back, you are the elder brother, shouldn't you be the second elder to send him to the end?"
"I am the commander of the first army, how can I leave without permission, I am shouldering the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers, and I am entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if the second elder in the family blames me, I can't go back to give them the second elder to the end of the year, the country must have a country first and then have a home, and the country does not exist, the family does not care. I'd rather be charged with unfilial piety than be a sinner for the ages of the country. β
"Big brother, you have said it a thousand times, that is, you can't be a deserter, you have to contribute to the country, and share the worries of the saints, the same is the child of the Zhang family, do you have to be a deserter for your brother and me? Even if both of our brothers die on the battlefield, we can still leave a lifetime of wisdom. In this way, our parents can stand tall and be human beings, so as not to be scolded by future generations. I think that even if you and my brothers die in battle, with the wisdom and martial arts of His Majesty today, he will never let his parents die alone. β
