Chapter 669
Chapter 659 Incorporation of the Forbidden Army (Par
On the morning of August 2, Dajin 434, Liu Ji brought eight elite troops, namely the Tiger Ben Army, Xuan Jia Bing, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, White Horse Congyi, Mo Dao Bing, Teng Camp, Wei Wu Zuo and Qin Ruishi, and arrived near Hangu Pass in Yongzhou.
Hangu Pass is one of the Canglong Eight Passes. If you want to enter the Canglong City, you must pass through one of the Canglong Eight Passes.
When Liu Ji led the troops to Hangu Pass, the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, the Taiwei Yang Zhong of the Official Ministry, the Taiwei Wang Zhihuan of the Ministry of Rites, the Taiwei Zhao Boran of the Ministry of Justice, the Taiwei Sun Mingtao of the Ministry of Industry, the Taiwei Zheng Kai of the Ministry of War, and Shangshu Han of the Ministry of War Renji, Shangshu Wu Ziyu, Hubu Shangshu Zhang Shunran, Penbu Shangshu Chen Sikai, Hussar General Xiao Su, Hussar General He Guangzong, and Hussar General Li Hong, have already brought more than 100 other court ministers, waiting at Hangu Pass. For a long time.
After learning that the Lebanese Army had defeated even the coalition forces in the Western mainland, the 13th family had a consensus that they must take the initiative to push Liu Ji to the throne. Now the Lebanese Army can be said to be the world’s first strong army. Once Liu Ji Thinking that the thirteenth family was an obstacle for him to enter the Canglong City, then the thirteenth family would definitely not have any fruit to eat.
Outside Hangu Pass, the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War and others finally met Liu Ji.
“Liu Dadu, congratulations to you for leading the smashing army and achieving another glorious victory. It drove the coalition forces of the seven major powers of the Western Continent out of the Western Regions, and added a blockbuster to the Protector of the Western Regions of the Great Jin Dynasty. Territory!” Dou Yan said to Liu Ji with a smile.
Liu Ji immediately clasped his fists to Dou Yan and the others and said, “Thank you, Taiwei Dou, and all the adults who came to meet Liu and expand the territory for us in the Great Jin Dynasty. This is what Liu Ji should do.”
Standing next to Dou Yan, Lieutenant Yang Zhong, then said with a smile on his face: “Dudu Liu, the wind is strong outside Guan, the old man and others have already set up a banquet in Hangu Pass, ready to receive the wind for Dudu Liu. Wash the dust!”
At this time, Liu Ji said with a distressed expression: “Taiwei Dou, Taiwei Yang, and sirs, I came to Canglong City twice before, but I was assassinated twice, so I entered Canglong City again this time. Liu Ji had to make some precautions. First, the Puppet Army was preparing to temporarily take over Hangu Pass. I wonder what Dou Taiwei, Yang Taiwei and the adults think?”
The military chief Dou Yan said immediately: “The old man and the others were blamed for the negligence of the old man and the others when the Duo Liu came to Canglong City the first two times. The old man agreed to take over the Hangu Pass by the Polu Army.”
For Liu Ji’s entry into Beijing this time, the thirteenth clan had already prepared to lose control of the 16th Guards. Therefore, the war chief Dou Yan agreed very happily on the issue of taking over the Hangu Pass by the Puppet Army.
Liu Ji smiled even more triumphantly and said: “Then Liu Ji would like to thank Prince Dou and all the adults!”
At this time, the troops stationed at Hangu Pass were a brigade of the Forbidden Army’s Huben Guards, with a strength of more than 20,000. While taking over the Hangu Pass, the Brokers unceremoniously took over the Huben Guards’ brigade. Coming over, in the Huben Guards brigade, the officers above the rank of the team were temporarily gathered to learn the military regulations of the Jawbreaker Army. As for the vacant positions, they were supplemented by soldiers from several elite troops of the Jawbreaker Army. .
Regarding the blatantly annexing the imperial army by the Puppet Army, the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War and others should not have seen it, and they were still chatting and laughing with Liu Ji.
On the afternoon of August 2nd, the Puppet Army built a large-scale camp just north of Canglong City. At this time, the Imperial Ministry Taiwei Dou Yan and other court ministers had already returned to Canglong City first, but Liu Ji declined. After receiving the invitation of the military chief Dou Yan to enter the city immediately, according to Liu Ji’s intention, only when the Broken Army took over the defense of Canglong City, Liu Ji dared to enter the city.
On the evening of August 2nd, in a meeting room at the mansion of Prince Dou Yan of the Ministry of War in Canglong City, Prince Libu Wang Zhihuan sighed and said to the other twelve officials: “It seems that Liu Ji does not control the power of the 16th Guards. Hand, he won’t enter Canglong City.”
The military chief Dou Yan said in a deep voice: “We had anticipated such a result before Liu Ji came to Canglong City. According to Liu Ji’s nature, it is impossible for him to let our thirteenth family continue to control the 16th Guards of the Forbidden Army. ”
Hubu Shangshu Zhang Shunran said unwillingly: “Is it true that the sixteen guards of the Forbidden Army were handed over to Liu Ji? The sixteen guards of the Forbidden Army are almost the last cards of our thirteenth family!”
The military chief Dou Yan smiled bitterly and said, “Unfortunately, this trump card of our thirteenth family has no effect on Liu Ji. According to the information obtained by the imperial court, the current strength of the Puppet Army has already exceeded 20 million. Moreover, the more than 20 million troops are not a mob, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Forbidden Army. Now Liu Jiming is about to forcibly annex the Forbidden Army. What else can our thirteenth family do besides handing over the Forbidden Army to Liu Ji!”
Hussar General Xiao Su immediately said: “The more than one million troops that Liu Ji has brought to Canglong City this time are definitely the elite of the army, and the combat power is still higher than that of the Forbidden Army. Once our thirteenth family makes some trouble, With this more than one million army, Liu Ji is enough to take Canglong City, so all of us here, don’t have any other thoughts.”
Xiao Su’s words made many of the officials nodded. Finally, Tai Wei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War said: “The Sundering Army has annexed the Forbidden Army. Our thirteenth family can no longer stop it, nor can we stop it, so you all go back and must restrain each family. The children in the Forbidden Army must cooperate with the Sundering Army to take over the Forbidden Army and even Canglong City, and absolutely nothing can happen.”
When the officials of the thirteenth family gathered together, in a palace in the Canglong City Palace, the Queen Mother Zhao asked Liu Chong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Liu Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites: “Now Liu Ji has arrived outside Canglong City with troops. , The emperor wants to cede the throne to Liu Ji, do you need to say hello to Liu Ji in advance?”
Liu Chong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said: “The Queen Mother, don’t worry, we sent someone to let the wind out a long time ago, presumably Liu Ji already knew that the emperor was going to give him the throne, if it weren’t because of the seven powers of the Western Continent. As the coalition forces invaded the countries of the Western Regions, Liu Ji should have come to Canglong City long ago.”
Empress Dowager Zhao sighed and said: “Anyway, Liu Ji has expanded a lot of land for us in Dajin. I heard that Liu Ji has annexed the Anxi Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom this time?”
The Minister of Rites Liu Yuan nodded and said: “Returning to the Queen Mother, this time the Sundering Army not only annexed the State of Anxi and the Cheshi Nation. In order to invite the Sundering Army to send troops, Dawan also ceded fifteen provinces to the Sundering Army. In addition, this time the Brokers also annexed the 13 subject states of the Parthian nation, the 24 subject states of the Dawan state, and the 32 subject states of the Cheshi state. Now the entire Western Regions, at least Four-fifths of the land has become the jurisdiction of the prefecture of the Western Regions of Great Jin Dynasty.”
The Queen Mother Zhao said in a bit of surprise: “In this way, the current Western Regions Protectorate is larger than the area of the twenty-four states of Dajin!”
“It’s true. If you count the deserts in the Western Regions Duhu Mansion, the area is even equivalent to six or seven Dajin. Even if the desert is eliminated, there will be almost three Dajin areas.” Liu Yuan, the minister of ceremonies, said affirmatively. .
“By the way, the emperor cedes the throne to Liu Ji this time, and the thirteenth family won’t be a hindrance to it, right?”
Liu Chong, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, immediately replied: “The queen mother can rest assured that now the thirteenth family cannot protect themselves. If the thirteenth family is ignorant, Liu Ji will never be soft-hearted. After the Hangu Pass, a brigade of the Tiger and Cardiac Guards in Hangu Pass was also incorporated, to meet Liu Ji’s War Department Taiwei Dou Yan, the Official Department Taiwei Yang Zhong and others, but there was not even a single objection.”
Empress Dowager Zhao nodded slightly, and then said sadly: “The Ai family doesn’t want any twists and turns in the renunciation. After the emperor surrenders the throne to Liu Ji, Liu Ji can let the Ai family and the emperor live the lives of ordinary people. It’s okay.”
Liu Chong, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, said comfortingly: “Don’t worry about the Queen Mother. As long as the emperor surrenders the throne to Liu Ji, Liu Ji will treat the Queen Mother and the emperor kindly in order to stop the world.”
Early in the morning of August 3rd, Liu Ji sent a number of troops and rushed to the other seven passes around Canglong City, preparing to take over these seven passes and incorporate the forbidden forces in these seven passes.
When the Xuanxuan Army took over the six passes of Guangcheng Pass, Dagu Pass, Jinmen Pass, Xuanmen Pass, Mengjin Pass and Zhenyuan Pass, it was very smooth. The Forbidden Army stationed a brigade at each of these six passes. It cooperated very well with the Breakthrough Army. By the afternoon of August 3, the eight passes around Canglong City, except for Baiyun Pass, the other seven passes had all fallen into the hands of the Breakthrough Army, and the Breakthrough Army was also incorporated. 140,000 forbidden troops at these seven passes.
Only when it took over Baiyun Pass, the Brokers ran into trouble. The forbidden army guarding Baiyun Pass was a brigade of Zuowei Habayashi, and the brigade’s lieutenant was an old friend of Liu Ji, the young man of Hussar General Li Hong. His son Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng is still a disciple of Wudang Mountain.
When Liu Ji came to Canglong City for the first time, Li Yifeng took dozens of Wudang Mountain disciples and intercepted Liu Ji on the street.
In a mansion in Baiyun Pass, Pi Wei Li Ying frowned and said to Li Yifeng: “General, now the thirteenth family has issued an order to let our 16th Guards of the Forbidden Army cooperate with the incorporation of the Raid Army. This time, Liu Ji must do it. Ascended to the throne and proclaimed emperor, we now refuse to take over the Baiyun Pass by the imposing army. Isn’t that something wrong?”
Li Yifeng gritted his teeth and said: “Qingmei was snatched by Liu Ji. Li Yifeng and Liu Ji have an antagonism. It is impossible for me to submit to Liu Ji!”
“But General, the thirteenth family is already…”
“Needless to say, this general has made up his mind. If the Polu Army wants Baiyun Pass, he can take it by his ability!”
Piwei Li Ying looked at Li Yifeng’s attitude, and his heart suddenly became cold and cold. The Papai Army is now in full swing. With more than 20,000 people at Baiyun Pass, how can it be an opponent of the Papai Army!
At this time, the second elder of Wudang Mountain in the room Lei Jin said, “Yi Feng, don’t be afraid of Liu Ji. Now in addition to my elder, Wudang Mountain has three guardians and more than 300 disciples at Baiyun Pass. Excluding you, the law protector, why do you fear that Liu Ji with such strength!”
After Li Yifeng was promoted to brigade, a large number of Wudang Mountain disciples joined Li Yifeng’s troops. Wudang Mountain even sent the second elder Lei Jin and the three guardians to Li Yifeng’s side.
In Wudang Mountain, as long as he has the strength to be on the list of peerless warlords in the world of heroes, he can be promoted to the protector of Wudang Mountain. Li Yifeng had reached the realm of peerless warlords more than two years ago.
Wudang Mountain has never had a good impression of Liu Ji. Wudang Mountain believes that the guardian King Chutong died in Liu Ji’s hands, and Zhang Shaohua, the murderer who killed Wu Lu, another guardian of Wudang Mountain, is currently in the army, so Don’t look at the fact that the army is dominating the Dajin territory, but Wudang Mountain does not mean to have a relationship with Liu Ji.
Inside Canglong City, outside of Canglong City, Liu Ji learned that the defenders of Baiyun Pass had refused to take over Baiyun Pass. He couldn’t help feeling a little surprised. Then he asked Zhang Liang and other advisers: “The guards of Baiyun Pass Which is the imperial army? Who is its chief?”
At this time, Jia Xu replied: “The lord, the forbidden army guarding Baiyun Pass is a brigade of Zuowei Yulin, and its brigade is Li Yifeng, the son of Hussar General Li Hong!”
This time Liu Ji came to Canglong City with only six advisers, Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Chen Ping, Cui Hao, and Zhang Juzheng.
“Oh, it turned out to be him! It seems that the Baiyun Pass has nothing to do with the thirteenth family. It is very likely that Li Yifeng made it by himself.” Liu Ji said analytically.
Zhang Liang suggested: “Lord, it is better to notify the thirteenth family immediately, presumably the thirteenth family should be able to solve the Baiyun Pass quickly.”
Liu Ji touched his chin and said, “This time I come to Canglong City The governor is still thinking about how to build his power! Now that Li Yifeng has taken the initiative to jump out, the general governor will use him to build his power. !”
Zhang Liang considered it for a moment, then nodded and said: “Since the lord wants to build his power, his subordinates agreed to take that Li Yifeng and Li Yifeng is still a child of Wudang Mountain. This gives the lord an excuse to deal with Wudang Mountain.”
Liu Ji immediately said loudly: “Let the guards assemble immediately, the governor of the capital will go to Baiyun Pass in person, and there will be Li Yifeng for a while!”
In the residence of General Hussar Li Hong in Canglong City, General Hussar Li Hong hit the book case in front of him with a punch and shouted angrily: “This rebellious man! What does he want to do! Does he want to take our entire Li family” destroyed!”
Hussar General Li Hong’s father and the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Chongwen said anxiously: “Let’s not talk about other things, you go to Baiyun Pass and bring Yi Feng back. Once the smashing army launches an offensive against Baiyun Pass, then It’s too late to say anything.”
Hussar General Li Hong nodded and said, “Father is absolutely right, I will go to Baiyun Pass and tie that rebellious son back!”
