Chapter 669 Unexpected Black Army
When the three elite troops, the Huben Army, the trapped camp and the Wei Wuzuo, arrived at Qinzhou in the five southwestern states, Heishuitai received a very unfavorable news for the big man.
On August 5th, 2nd year of Dahan, in a palace in the Canglong City Palace of Dahan, the commander of Heishuitai Jia Xu said to Liu Ji in a deep voice: “Your Majesty Qi, according to the information we received from Heishuitai, The four great princes and the three big robbers have secretly united. Once our Han army enters the three states controlled by the black armour, the white lotus army, the red dragon army and the armies of the four great princes will all send troops to attack the black armour. support.”
Liu Ji frowned, turned his head and asked Zhang Liang, Taiwei of the Ministry of War, “What opinion does the Ministry of War have on this time?”
Zhang Liang immediately said: “Your Majesty, the total strength of the seven powers of the State of Zhou must exceed 15 million at least, and once a war breaks out, these seven powers will definitely recruit more young men to join the army. Therefore, the minister believes that it is already difficult to complete the task of occupying the three states of the Black Armed Forces only by relying on the Tigers, the trapped camp, the Weiwu soldiers and the Xuanwu army. More troops must be sent to the five southwestern states!”
After a pause, Zhang Liang continued, “Of course, according to the current situation of the seven major forces in the Zhou Kingdom, it is impossible for them to gather more than 15 million troops together, but it shouldn’t be a problem to gather five or six million.”
In addition to Zhang Liang, the other five lieutenants of the Dahan were also in this palace at this time. Chen Ping, the prince of the Ministry of Rites, went on to say: “Your Majesty, since our Dahan has the heart to annex Zhou, the seven great lieutenants of Zhou If the forces are united or not, it has little effect on us big men. Our big Han army has just lost every opportunity to defeat. If the first battle can solve the main army of the seven major forces of Zhou, it may be beneficial to us big guys. Outweigh the harm.”
Liu Ji nodded slightly and said, “I am not afraid that the seven powers of Zhou will be united. After all, they are united and their strength is less than half of our Han army. It seems that we can only increase troops to the five southwestern states. I am going to make adjustments. The West Xinjiang Army, the Gaochang Army, the Xuanjia Army, the Yu Xue Army, the Beifu Army and Qin Ruishi rushed to the five southwestern states. What do you think of Aiqing?”
The military chief Zhang Liang pondered and said: “The minister agrees with your majesty’s plan. After the West Xinjiang Army and the Gaochang Army have left the Western Regions, our Han Army will also have the West Xinjiang Army, the Qinglong Army, the Che Division Army, and the Peace Army in the Western Regions, enough to defend. The 72 states in the Western Regions responded to the threat of the Europa Empire on the western continent, and the deployment of the four elite troops of Xuan Jiabing, Xue Xue Jun, Beifu Bing, and Qin Ruishi would not affect the overall defense strategy of our Han army. ”
The other five lieutenants also raised no objection to Liu Ji’s troop deployment plan, so Liu Ji waved his hand and said, “That’s it. Let Xijiang Army Corps, Gaochang Army Corps, Xuanjia Soldiers, Yu Xuejun, and Beifu Soldiers. He and Qin Ruishi immediately rushed to the five southwestern states, and at the same time ordered the Huben Army, the trapped camp, the Weiwu soldiers and the Xuanwu army to suspend the attack on the black armour of the Zhou Kingdom! In addition, I will lead the royal guards to the five southwestern states to supervise the battle. !”
Hearing that Liu Ji was going to take the imperial conquest, Zhang Liang immediately objected: “Your Majesty, there are still many government affairs in Canglong City, which need to be handled by your Majesty. The minister thinks that your Majesty does not have to go to the five southwestern states to supervise the battle!”
The Crown Lieutenant Zhang Juzheng also said: “Your Majesty, the minister opposes the imperial conquest. According to the state of Zhou’s separatist regime, even if the three gangs of Zhou and the four princes are united, these seven forces cannot be truly one-sided. , There are the three legions of Xijiang, Gaochang, and Xuanwu, as well as the seven elite troops of Hu Ben Army, Xuan Jia Bing, Yu Xue Jun, Beifu Bing, Qin Ruishi, Sinking Camp, and Wei Wuzu. Our Han army is enough to defeat Zhou’s army. There is no need for your Majesty to go to the five southwestern states to supervise the battle for the seven forces!”
Tai Wei Chen Ping of the Ministry of Rites, Tai Wei Cui Hao of the Criminal Ministry, Tai Wei Guo Jia of the Ministry of Industry, Tai Wei Xiao He of the Ministry of Industry, and even Jia Xu, the commander of Heishuitai, all voiced their opposition to Liu Ji going to the five southwestern states in person, but Liu Ji This trip to the five southwestern states was actually to take the opportunity to absorb more soul points. As the man gets stronger and stronger, Liu Ji’s chance to absorb a lot of soul points is running out.
Liu Ji waved his hand and said to everyone: “With your six lieutenants and Jia Xu sitting in Canglong City, I am very relieved that I am taking the world immediately, such as the annexation of the kingdom of Zhou, how can I? Sitting in Canglong City and waiting for the news, my will has been decided, so please stop persuading you Aiqing!”
The two elite troops, Xuan Jia Bing and Bei Fu Bing, were stationed in Yongzhou and Liuzhou near Canglong City respectively. So Liu Ji took the Royal Guards of Han Dynasty, joined the Xuan Jia Bing and Bei Fu Bing, and rushed to the five southwestern states.
In Yongxing City, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, in a chamber of the Zhongshan Palace, the counselor Chen Ji told Zhongshan King Xu Wu: “Lord, there has been news from the nobleman in Canglong City. As for the alliance of the seven great forces of Zhou Dynasty, now the Han state has mobilized the West Frontier Army, Gaochang Army, Xuanjia Soldier, Yuxue Army, Beifu Soldier and Qin Ruishi, and rushed to the five southwestern states of Han, and the emperor of Han Liu Ji will also rush to the five southwestern states to supervise the battle!”
Sun Yat-sen King Xu Wu sighed and said: “According to the information we have obtained before, the strength of the Xijiang Army is 2 million, the strength of the Gaochang Army is 1.6 million, the Xuanjia Army is 300,000, the Qi Xue Army is 400,000, and the Beifu Army is 400,000. 600,000, and Qin Ruishi’s 400,000, plus 1.4 million from the Huben Army, the trap camp, and Wei Wuzu, and the 1.6 million from the Xuanwu Corps. The Han nation has gathered 800 this time. With 300,000 troops, I don’t know whether our coalition of the four great princes and the three big bandits can stop the over 8 million troops of the Han nation, alas—”
The counselor Chen Ji hesitated and said, “Master, although our seven major forces have reached an agreement on the alliance, the White Lotus Army is only willing to send 800,000 troops to the three states of the Black Army to help the Black Army resist. During the invasion of the Han army, the Red Dragon Army was only willing to send 300,000 troops into the three states of the Black Armored Army, while Kaiping King Deng Ying, Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun would only send 900,000 in total. The army of China joins the coalition, and we only promised to send 600,000 troops to the three states controlled by the Black Armed Forces.”
Sun Yat-sen King Xu Wu shook his head and said: “The Black Armies themselves have approximately 1.5 million troops, plus the 2.6 million troops supported by our six major forces, which is only 4.1 million people, not enough. Half of the Han army!”
The counselor Chen Ji immediately said: “Lord, it seems that we, the Bailian Army and the Chilong Army, as well as the Kaiping King Dengying, the Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, and the Xuanping King Zhang Jun, all have to send additional troops into the three states of the Black Armored Army. In order to stop this invasion of the Han army, otherwise, with the four hundred and one million troops currently assembled by the seven forces, it is impossible to keep the three states of the Black Armed Forces.”
When Zhongshan King Xu Wu heard this, he couldn’t help but ask Chen Ji with a painful expression: “How many more troops does the king have to send? You know, there are only four and a half million troops under this king!”
The counselor Chen Ji thought for a moment and said: “The lord, in order to persuade the other forces, to send more troops into the three states controlled by the Black Armed Forces. The lord had better send another 900,000 troops.”
“What! Send another 900,000 troops! That would be 1.5 million troops, no! Too many, so let’s send another 400,000 troops to make up one million!”
“But the Han army…”
“Mr. Chen, even though the seven major forces of the State of Zhou have already united, we have to keep a little bit of attention. The enemy of this king is more than the Han army.”
“Then do as the lord said! The subordinates will pass on the news of the increase in the Han army to the other six forces as soon as possible!”
In the Zhou Mufu Mansion in Wan’an City, Bozhou, the Black Armed Forces, Liu Heng, the Black Armored Army Commander, said to Jiang Pu, the Black Armored Army Commander: “Master, the people of Zhongshan King Xu Wu have heard the news. Han learned that the seven powers of the Zhou Kingdom are united. After the incident, the West Xinjiang Army, Gaochang Army, Xuanjia Army, Yu Xue Army, Beifu Army and Qin Ruishi were sent to the five southwestern states of Han, and Zhongshan King Xu Wu has promised that he will send one million troops. Enter Bozhou, Haizhou, and Shouzhou controlled by our Black Armored Army to help our Black Armored Army resist Han’s army, but the White Lotus Army, the Red Dragon Army, Kaiping King Deng Ying, Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun, There is no intention to send more troops.”
Jiang Pu, the commander of the Black Armored Army, said bitterly to the military division Liu Heng: “If you add these two armies and four elite troops from the Han State, how many troops will the Han State gather in the five southwestern states?”
Sergeant Liu Heng said in a deep voice: “Return to the lord, Han will gather about 8.3 million troops in the five southwestern states. Our Black Armies will face the challenge of life and death this time.”
Jiang Pu, the commander of the Black Armored Army, sighed and said: “Unless the other six forces send most of their troops to Bozhou, Haizhou and Shouzhou controlled by the Black Armored Army, we still hope to block Han. The army’s invasion, otherwise there is no chance of winning at all.”
Military strategist Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said suddenly: “Master, in fact, why should our Black Armed Forces fight the Han army for the other six forces? Our Black Armed Forces are gangsters!”
Jiang Pu, the commander of the Black Armored Army, suddenly lit up, “The military commander meant to let this commander abandon Bozhou, Haizhou and Shouzhou? But our Black Armored Army has 1.5 million people and left Bozhou, Haizhou and Shouzhou. State, where can our Black Army go?”
Sergeant Liu Heng said: “Lord, among the 1.5 million troops of our Black Armored Army, there are no more than 300,000 elite troops. As long as the lord can keep these 300,000 elite troops, our Black Armor The army has a chance to make a comeback. As for the retreat, the subordinates have already thought about it. Our Black Armored Army can temporarily retreat into the territory of Bai Kingdom.”
Bai Kingdom is a vassal state of the Great Zhou Kingdom, with three states, an army of about 900,000, and a population of more than 25 million.
“Military strategist, can Bai Guo let our black armies enter their country?”
“The lord, with the strength of our Black Armored Army, although there is no chance of winning against the Han army, it still has a great advantage against the army of the Kingdom of Bai. Maybe the lord can still be a king of the Kingdom of Bai in the future. ”
“The military division’s idea is good, but since we are going to leave, we will go a little bit more thoroughly and bring in more troops from the country. Our black armour will be safer in the country.”
On September 25th of the Second Year of the Great Han, the Han army suddenly launched an offensive against Bozhou and Haizhou in the Zhou state at the same time, officially kicking off the prelude to the annexation of the Great Zhou state.
At this time, in Bozhou and Haizhou controlled by the Black Armored Army, the seven major forces of the Zhou Kingdom had gathered more than 3.5 million troops, and in Shouzhou controlled by the Black Armored Army, they had also gathered more than one million troops. In fact, Relying on the benefits of the city and the temporary recruitment of young men from each city, Zhou’s army is still able to fight for it.
However, just after the Han army invaded Bozhou and Haizhou, many of the Black Armed Forces unexpectedly abandoned the city and fled all the way to Shouzhou.
You know that Bozhou and Haizhou, but the Black Armored Army’s territory, even the Black Armored Army is not guarded, where are the other six forces of the Zhou Kingdom willing to fill the hole for the Black Armored Army, suddenly Bozhou and the Zhou State in Haizhou The army, before seeing the shadow of the Han army, all abandoned the city and fled to the rear one after another.
This made the cities of Bozhou and Haizhou almost look out for the Han army, and in mid-October of the 2nd year of the Han, the Han army took over Bozhou and Haizhou without blood.
And the Black Armored Army that retreated into Shouzhou did not have the idea of defending Shouzhou. Before the Han army fully occupied Bozhou and Haizhou, there were about 1.3 million Black Armored Army and more than one million family members. Just entered Bai State from Shouzhou, there were nearly 200,000 Black Armed Forces, which broke apart on the way to retreat from Bozhou and Haizhou.
Although Bai Guo is a subsidiary of Zhou , Zhou has been in turmoil in recent years. Zhou’s court has almost existed in name only. Bai Guo has actually been completely out of Zhou’s control. Bai Guo is not willing to let him Zhou’s army entered his country, not to mention that the Black Armored Army was still a gangster.
So Bai Guo quickly gathered more than 300,000 troops to start a battle with the Black Armored Army, but the final victor of this battle was the superior Black Armored Army.
The Han army found that the black armour had given up even Shouzhou, no matter how polite, by the end of October of the 2nd year of the Han Dynasty, the whole area of Shouzhou was also occupied by the Han army.
On October 26th, 2nd year of Dahan, in a chamber of the Zhoumu Mansion in Wan’an City, Bozhou, Zhou State, Liu Ji smiled and said to the generals: “I didn’t expect the Black Armored Army to flee without fighting. As a result, we The army of the Han Dynasty took all the Bozhou, Haizhou and Shouzhou of the Zhou Dynasty without any effort. I have to thank Jiang Pu, the commander of the Black Armored Army, for giving me such a great favor!”
Lu Bu, the leader of the Tiger Cardiac Army, asked: “Your Majesty, now the Black Armored Army has fled to the Kingdom of Bai, shall we continue to pursue it?”
Liu Ji waved his hand and said: “Let’s let the Black Armored Army and the Bai Kingdom’s army have a good fight! Next, our Han army will directly attack the three states controlled by the Zhou Kingdom’s Red Dragon Army!”
