Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 622 Lu State Increases Troops

In a palace in the Imperial Palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the State of Lu, Emperor Jiang Sheng asked in a deep voice to Liu Mian, Taiwei of the Ministry of War, “Liu Taiwei, what do you think of the next war in the southeast of Jin State, what should we do with Lu State?”

The news that the Lu’s two armies had suffered defeats has spread to Mengyuan City. The Lu’s army that attacked Suzhou lost more than 300,000 people in the first battle. The Lu’s army that attacked Hangzhou suffered even more losses. Great. In the first battle with the squadron, more than 600,000 people were lost, of which 300,000 people were lost.

Outside the county seat of Fuxin County, Chongyi County, Hangzhou, after Sun Gu, the leader of the Third Army of the State of Lu, ordered Mingjin to retreat, the smashing army did not let the Lu State army want to retreat. Bai Qi immediately ordered the army to be poor. Chasing fiercely, even the cavalry troops who had been watching the excitement joined in the pursuit of the Lu State army, which further increased the loss of the Lu State army.

In the end, if it weren’t for Sun Gu, the leader of the Lu’s Third Army, after he personally led the troops to break, he literally blocked the smashing army, perhaps the Lu’s army would have collapsed directly.

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War said with a solemn expression to Emperor Jiang Sheng: “Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the Sundering Army is stronger than we expected. Now the two armies attacking Suzhou and Hangzhou have been defeated. If we Lu Guo If you want to defeat the squadron, you must send additional reinforcements to the two armies attacking Suzhou and Hangzhou.”

Emperor Jiang Sheng touched his chin and said, “In addition to the six main armies and eight ordinary legions of the two armies, our Lu army also has two main armies and two ordinary legions in the southeastern states of Jin. It seems that some more legions have to be transferred from the country to enter the southeast region of Jin Kingdom!”

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War said: “Your Majesty, our Lu Army has two main armies and five ordinary armies in the border area near Zhejiang and Fuzhou. These seven armies can enter the southeast region of Jin at any time. We The Lu Army has seized a large amount of grain and grass from the Southeast Xiang Army. Even if a few million more troops enter the southeastern region of Jin, our Lu Army does not need to worry about the issue of grain and grass in a short period of time.”

Emperor Jiang Sheng pondered for a while and said: “Then let these two main armies and five ordinary armies immediately enter the southeast region of the Jin Kingdom. As for the distribution of forces in the southeast region, let Jiang Ke study it!”

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War nodded and said, “Yes, your majesty!”

Emperor Jiang Sheng went on to say: “Counting the main army formed mainly by the Southeast Xiang Army, our Lu State now has 14 main army regiments and 23 ordinary army regiments. The strength of the army can be said to be very large. But this time facing the smashing army, our Lu country must be prepared for a bad battle, so I decided to form eight more ordinary legions to serve as a reserve team. What does Liu Taiwei think?”

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War hesitated and said: “Your Majesty has considered very well. After transferring the two main armies and five ordinary armies to the southeast of Jin, we only have four main armies and eight main armies in the territory of Lu. Eight of the twelve legions were stationed on the border between Yan and Xiao to guard against these two countries, and three legions were stationed on the border between Mou and Bai, and Mengyuan City was stationed again. A corps, in this way, our Lu State almost has no mobile troops, but our Lu State’s finances have recently…”

Before the military chief Liu Mian had finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Jiang Sheng, “Recently, our Lu State has spent a lot of money, but everything has to serve this war to annex Jin. No matter how financially difficult it is. Persevere, as long as we can defeat the sniper army, it will be worth it!”

There used to be dozens of countries in the vast area southeast of Jinan. However, after the rise of Lu, most of them were annexed by Lu, and before the rise of Lu, Yan had once It is the first power in this region. The country of Xiao was once the second power in this region. During the rise of the country of Lu, the country of Yan and the country of Xiao were under pressure from the country of Lu and also annexed some neighboring countries. Today, the country of Yan Owning 19 states, Xiao Guo also owns 16 states.

Although the strength of Yan and Xiao are not as good as Lu, these two countries also have millions of troops. The relationship between these two countries and Lu has been very tense, so Lu has to stay close to Yan and Lu. In the border areas of the State of Xiao, millions of troops were deployed to guard against the State of Yan and State of Xiao.

Both Mou and Bai were originally vassal states of the Great Zhou State. However, in recent years, there have been domestic and foreign troubles and turbulence in the Great Zhou State. Mu Guo and Bai Guo basically no longer care about the Great Zhou State, and the relationship between Mu Guo and Bai Guo , Formed a military alliance against Lu.

Mou has the territory of five states, and Bai has the territory of three states. The combined armies of the two countries have now exceeded three million. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the two countries’ armies is quite good. The terrain is also more complicated, otherwise Lu will not let go of the two big fat pieces of Mu Guo and Bai Guo.

Lieutenant Liu Mian gritted his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, the minister will do his best to form eight new ordinary legions!”

Emperor Jiang Sheng then turned his head to the Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang in the palace and said: “You Black Butterfly must pay close attention to the movements of the Yan Kingdom and the Xiao Kingdom. Our Lu Kingdom now uses most of the army in the southeast of the Jin Kingdom. If At this time, Yan Guo or Xiao Guo gave us Lu Guo a knife in the back, but it is not easy to handle it.”

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang said immediately: “Your Majesty, we Black Butterfly have been paying attention to the situation of Yan Country and Xiao Country. There has been no large-scale mobilization of the two countries’ armies recently, and there should be no problems with Yan Country and Xiao Country. ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and said: “That’s good, if our Lu State can annex Jin this time, then Yan State and Xiao State will not be a cause for concern.”

On the afternoon of February 5, in the Lu’s army camp south of Xinquan County, Dongzhu County, Suzhou, General Lu’s Hussar Jiang Ke said to the counselor Zhen Hongwen with a relaxed expression on his face: “Your Majesty has ordered the domestic The two main army regiments and five ordinary army regiments entered the southeast of Jin. I plan to transfer two of the main army regiments and three ordinary army regiments to Xinquan County. First, I will send two more ordinary army regiments to Sun Gu. In addition, there is good news. Your Majesty has decided to expand again to eight general legions.”

Advisor Zhen Hongwen immediately said: “Lord, now that we are ready to deal with the sabotage forces here in Xinquan County, it is better to transfer the two main army groups and the five ordinary army groups to Xinquan County, so that we can have more troops in our hands.”

Jiang Ke has ordered another main army in the southeast to also go to Xinquan County. At this time this main army is rushing over. If the two main army groups and five ordinary army groups in Lu are added, the army of Lu will be there. Xinquan County gathers seven main army regiments and ten ordinary regiments here, and the total strength will exceed six million. This is not even counted as the Lu Guozheng gathered in Xinquan County.

Jiang Ke nodded after thinking about it for a while and said, “Mr. Zhen made sense. Then transfer the two main army groups and the five ordinary army groups to Xinquan County!”

On the evening of February 6, in the Lu State Army camp south of Fuxin County, Chongyi County, Hangzhou, Sun Gu, the commander of the Third Army of the State of Lu sighed and said to Zhou Yan, the commander of the 11th Army: The carrier pigeon sent a letter. This time, the two main legions and five ordinary legions sent by your Majesty from the country will all rush to the marshal. The marshal is ready to gather superior forces to solve the main force of the sabotage army in Suzhou. , The marshal ordered us to stick to the camp, hang up the free card, and wait for the marshal’s reinforcements.”

The commander of the 11th Army, Zhou Yan, frowned and said: “After the battle a few days ago, although the smashing army did not launch an attack on our camp, it has been shouting outside the camp. If we continue to avoid the battle, I am worried about the smashing of the captives. The army can’t help but launch an attack on our camp.”

Sun Gu shrugged and said: “The soldiers are coming to cover the water and the earth. Now our five legions have been supplemented by the strong men, and they are back to full ranks. With the remaining 400,000 strong men, we still have two soldiers here in Fuxin County. With an army of 1.2 million, it is not so easy for the Sundering Army to capture our camp!”

Zhou Yan pondered for a while and said: “The combat effectiveness shown by the Sundering Army is too strong. I have not been at ease for the past few days. There is currently a newly formed main army in Suzhou. It is better to suggest that the commander take the Suzhou army. The main army is transferred to us.”

Sun Gu thought for a moment and then nodded and said: “It’s okay to transfer the main force of Suzhou to Fuxin County. Anyway, the main force of the Sundering Army is restrained by our Lu State army. The territory of Suzhou should be very safe, not to mention the area of ​​Suzhou. There are troops from the 24th Army.”

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said: “The general has already transferred the main force in Qiongzhou to Xinquan County in Dongzhu County, Suzhou. In this way, our Lu State is in Qiongzhou, Suzhou, Lianzhou, Zhejiang and In Fuzhou, there are only 600,000 troops of the 24th Army and the 25th Army. Will it be a bit less?”

Sun Gu said with a smile: “The Southeast Xiang Army has now been wiped out, and the Lui Army has been blocked by our Lu’s millions of troops in the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Two legions guarding these five states are enough!”

Soon Liu Ji also got the news that the State of Lu had sent a large number of reinforcements from the country. In a study room in the county office of Xinquan County, Liu Ji said in a deep voice to the civil servants and generals under his command: “According to the news from Heishuitai , State Lu has already mobilized two main force regiments and three ordinary legions into the southeast area of ​​our Dajin. In this way, Lu Kingdom has ten main force regiments and 15 ordinary legions in the southeast area, which are almost occupied. Two-thirds of Lu’s total military strength.”

At this time, there were eight civil servants in the study: Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Wang Meng, Wang Dun, Tian Feng, and Jushou, while the generals were Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian.

Zhang Liang immediately said: “Master, after all, our Sundering Army is still at war with Dawan. The troops gathered in Suzhou and Hangzhou are almost at the limit of our Sundering Army, but Lu can continue to follow. The country sends reinforcements to the southeast region, so the subordinates felt that we had better be able to make a quick fight, otherwise, with Lu’s war potential, mobilizing 20 to 30 million troops into the southeast region would not be impossible.”

Guo Jia went on to say: “Lord, Lu is short of horses. In this way, even if Lu has mobilized two main legions and three ordinary legions into the southeast area of ​​our Dajin, he wants to rush to Xinquan County or Hangzhou. In Fuxin County, it will take at least a month and a half, and maybe even longer. We have the opportunity to destroy the Lu State Army. Before this batch of Lu State reinforcements arrive, they will eat the Lu State Army in Xinquan County or Fuxin County. ”

Liu Ji asked Guo Jia: “Do you mean, do you mean to concentrate your troops and eat Lu’s army first?”

Guo Jia nodded and said, “Lord, we have no shortage of war horses in our army. Now the Lu army is divided into two groups to attack the Suzhou and Hangzhou states, which just gives us the opportunity to break through. What’s more, now the two Lu army can’t escape the battle. .”

Guo Jia’s suggestion was immediately endorsed by other civil servants and military commanders in the study. Liu Ji touched his chin and said: “If we can really eat Lu’s army before the arrival of the reinforcements from Lu, then Lu The emperor of the country may have to carefully consider whether it is time to withdraw from the southeast region of our Dajin!

At this time, Li Mu suggested: “Lord, at the end I think it is best to eat the Lu army in Fuxin County first. The Lu army on the opposite side of us is very strong and has passed the previous few days. In the battle, it can be seen that the generals who commanded these millions of Lu’s troops are not the general ones. We want to eat the Lu’s troops in Xinquan County. It is no easy task!”

Zhang Liang also said: “The lord also agreed with General Li Mu’s suggestion. We’d better concentrate our forces and eat the Lu’s army along the road in Fuxin County, and then study the situation in Xinquan County. This way the Lu State Army.”

Liu Ji finally said categorically: “Then it’s so decided! The chief governor immediately personally led the ten cavalry brigades of the Steppe Corps, as well as the 32,000 heavy cavalry of the Huben Army and the Xuanjia Army, Mo Dao soldiers, Wei Wuzuo, and Chen Seventy-five thousand elite infantry in the camp rushed to Xinquan County in Dongzhu County, Suzhou as soon as possible to try to eat the Lu’s army along the way first.”

After a pause, Liu Ji continued: “Cavalry troops don’t have to worry about it. Mo Daomen, Wei Wuzuo, and the 750,000 elite infantry in the camp must each prepare at least two war horses!”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said at this time: “The lord can rest assured that the horses we brought this time are enough. Mo Dao soldiers, Wei Wu soldiers and the 750,000 elite infantry in the camp can be equipped with three war horses for each person.”

Liu Ji nodded and said, “That’s good! Just give Mo Dao soldiers, Wei Wu soldiers and the 750,000 elite infantry in the camp, each with three war horses, so that, including the cavalry, everyone has at least three. Warhorse, from Xinquan County to Fuxin County, it only takes two or three days!”
