Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 673 Windswept Clouds

In Yongxing City, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, in a chamber of the Zhongshan Palace, Zhongshan King Xu Wu said bitterly to the generals: “According to the latest news, all the remnants of the Diqiang tribe’s army has been returned to one hundred. Among the Wanda Mountains, the Han army has now completely captured Jizhou, Yuanzhou, Xuanzhou, Raozhou, and Hongzhou that were originally controlled by the Bailian Army.”

General Jiang Qi under the command of Zhongshan King Xu Wu said with a bitter smile: “I heard that this time the Diqiang tribe has dispatched more than 4 million troops, and the Lanuo tribe has also dispatched more than 3 million troops, plus the three of the Bailian Army itself. The Hundred Army, unexpectedly, would still be easily defeated by the Han people, and the next four princes of Zhou will surely become the next target of the Han people.”

Zhongshan King Xu Wu immediately asked Jiang Qi: “What is the current situation of our Zhongshan Army’s expansion?”

Jiang Qi immediately said: “Return to the lord, our Zhongshan Army has now expanded to about 6 million people, but because the 1.5 million people added are recruits, our Zhongshan Army has not improved much in terms of combat effectiveness. In addition, according to the Lord’s order, all the cities controlled by our Zhongshan Army have begun to recruit young people. The number of these temporary young people can reach seven or eight million, or even more.”

At this time, counselor Chen Ji said: “Lord, through the battle between the Han army and the Chilong army, the Bailian army, the Diqiang tribe, and the Lanuo tribe, we can see that the combat effectiveness of the Han army is definitely higher than that of the Zhongshan army. The Han army invaded the jurisdiction controlled by our Zhongshan army. Our Zhongshan army must not concentrate on the main force to start a decisive battle with the Han army, otherwise it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the two tributaries of Chilong and Bailian.”

General Jiang Qi nodded and said: “Master, Mr. Chen said that if the Han army attacked our Zhongshan army, our Zhongshan army had better rely on the city to resist the Han army, and try to avoid fierce battles with the Han army on the plains. In terms of cavalry, the Han army has too much advantage compared to our Zhongshan army.”

Zhongshan King Xu Wu frowned and said: “Our Zhongshan Army has formed an alliance of the four princes with the Kaiping Army of the Kaiping King Deng Ying, the Dingxiang Army of the Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, and the Xuanping Army of the Xuanping King Zhang Jun. He was also elected as the leader of the alliance. Once the Han army attacked the other three princes, our Zhongshan army must send reinforcements. At that time, it would be unavoidable that a war with the Han army would break out on the plain.”

Advisor Chen Ji said: “Lord, for the support of the other three princes, our Zhongshan Army can do what we can. Defending the five states of our Zhongshan Army and Yongxing City is the most important thing for our Zhongshan Army. .”

After the Han army completely wiped out the White Lotus Army and captured the five states controlled by the White Lotus Army, Liu Ji immediately ordered several elite troops, as well as parts of the Xijiang Army, Gaochang Army and Xuanwu Army, to divide their troops into five groups. The two states controlled by Dingxiang King Zhu Yong launched an offensive.

The Dingxiang Army, formed by the King of Dingxiang Zhu Yong, has been expanding since the Han army invaded the State of Zhou. When the Han Army attacked the Dingxiang Army, the Dingxiang Army had expanded from the original 1.5 million to nearly six. Millions, almost all the young people in Ezhou and Fuzhou were included in the Dingxiang army.

Ezhou and Fuzhou are the two states controlled by Zhu Yong, the king of Dingxiang, with a combined population of approximately 15 million.

Dingxiang King Zhu Yong’s crazy army expansion, although the number of Dingxiang army has been increased, but the combat effectiveness of Dingxiang army has gone from bad to worse.

After the Han army launched the offensive, the Dingxiang army in many cities suffered large-scale routs. As a result, within only half a month of the war, the Dingxiang army lost dozens of cities and lost almost half of its troops. However, the loss of the Han army was minimal, and the combined casualties of the Five Route Army were less than 50,000.

Of course, the reason why the loss of the Han army is so small is due to the fact that the Han army is equipped with a giant catapult.

During the battle with the Seven-Nation Allied Forces in the Western Mainland, the predecessor of the Han army, the Sundering Army, seized more than a dozen giant trebuchets. Liu Ji discovered that this giant trebuchet was extremely powerful at the time of siege, so he immediately ordered To imitate this giant catapult.

With the help of several top civil servants, imitated giant trebuchets were quickly built. Now the entire Han army has more than 400 giant trebuchets. This time, they attacked the territory of Zhou. Ji drew nearly 300 units and allocated them to the three legions of Xijiang, Gaochang, and Xuanwu, as well as several elite infantry units.

When the Han army launched an assault on the city guarded by the Dingxiang Army, sometimes it only needed dozens of giant trebuchets to fire a few rounds, and the Dingxiang Army in the city hung a white flag on the dilapidated city head.

After the Han army launched an offensive against the Dingxiang Army, Zhongshan King Xu Wu, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun all sent reinforcements to support the Dingxiang Army, but the total of the three princes’ reinforcements was less than 100. Ten thousand people, and among the nearly one million army, the number of recruits accounted for at least 70%.

In Dingxiang King’s Mansion in Baochang City, Ezhou Prefecture, Zhu Peng, the eldest son of Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, said in a deep voice: “Father, although the war has only been on for half a month, Ezhou and Fuzhou have almost two-fifths of the city. It has fallen into the hands of the Han army, and our Dingxiang army has lost half of its army. According to the current situation, it is almost impossible for our Dingxiang army to defend Ezhou and Fuzhou.”

Zhu Yong, the king of Dingxiang, said bitterly: “My father also knows that our Dingxiang army cannot stop the Han army at all. You must know that even the fierce Diqiang and Lanuo tribes were defeated by the Han army, but we decided Where else can the Xiang army withdraw? After leaving Ezhou and Fuzhou, the Dingxiang army will soon fall apart when it fails.”

After a pause, Zhu Yong, king of Dingxiang, said angrily: “The Han army obviously wants to annex the entire Zhou Dynasty. As a result, Zhongshan King Xu Wu, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun want to preserve their strength at this time. This time, Zhongshan Army and Kaiping Army The Xuanping Army and the Xuanping Army sent a total of more than 900,000 reinforcements, and they were all units with weaker combat effectiveness. How come they don’t know the truth about the fact that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold!”

Zhu Peng sighed and said: “Father, it is impossible for the Zhongshan Army, Kaiping Army and Xuanping Army to send more reinforcements. Let’s plan ahead! In fact, even if the Zhongshan Army, Kaiping Army and Xuanping Army are the main force , Both entered Ezhou and Fuzhou, and the coalition forces of our four princes may not be able to stop the army of Han.”

Dingxiang King Zhu Yong hesitated and asked, “Peng’er, what do you mean, where should we Dingxiang Army go next?”

Zhu Peng immediately gritted his teeth and said: “Father, what we Zhou people say are the same roots as the Han people. It is better to drop the Han army, presumably the Han emperor should not treat his father badly.”

Zhu Yong, the king of Dingxiang, pondered for a long time before he nodded slightly, “The current situation can only bow to Han. As Peng’er said, after all, we Zhou people and Han people have the same roots and surrender to the Han army. , Can’t be regarded as insulting the ancestor.

On March 6th of the 3rd year of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yong, the king of Dingxiang, ordered his army to stop resistance to the Han army and cooperate with the Han army to take over the cities in Ezhou and Fuzhou.

Liu Ji was still very happy for the surrender of Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, but Zhu Yong could not be the Dingxiang King. Liu Ji then canonized Zhu Yong as the Dingxiang Hou of the Han Dynasty.

The title of the Han Dynasty inherited the title of Dajin. From low to high, it is still baron, viscount, earl, marquis and duke. Above the duke is the title of king. At present, there are only seven princes in the Han Dynasty, and these seven princes Both are the sons of Liu Ji.

Liu Ji’s current sons have exceeded 2,000, but only the sons of Empress Zhang Wanting and the imperial concubine Liu Qingmei, Murongxue and Jiang Huan were canonized by Liu Ji as king. Zhou Lanqi, Zhou Lanxin and other 89 concubines The sons born to him were all canonized as dukes by Liu Ji, while the sons born to thousands of nobles and talents were canonized as marquises or earls by Liu Ji.

Liu Ji has so many sons who have not been crowned kings. Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Yong to continue to be king of Dingxiang, so Zhu Yong was canonized as a marquis.

After the Dingxiang Army surrendered to the Han Army, the Zhongshan Army, Kaiping Army and Xuanping Army in Ezhou and Fuzhou immediately fled back to their respective territories, but in the face of the powerful Han Army, where can they escape? !

On March 20 of the 3rd year of the Han Dynasty, the Han army suddenly attacked the Kaiping army of the Kaiping king Dengying and the Xuanping army of the Xuanping king Zhangjun at the same time.

Yuezhou and Xiazhou controlled by Kaiping King Dengying had a total population of over 9 million, while the Kaiping Army had only about one million troops. Facing the wolf-like army of the Han, Kaiping King Dengying only resisted for one day. Ordering the Kaiping army to give up resistance, Kaiping king Dengying, like Dingxiang king Zhu Yong, chose to surrender to the Han army.

Liu Ji then ordered the Han forces to take over Yuezhou and Xiazhou controlled by the Kaiping king Deng Ying, and canonized Deng Ying as the Kaiping Marquis of the Han Dynasty.

Although Xuanping Wang Zhangjun only had the territory of the two states of Guizhou and Chenzhou, both Guizhou and Chenzhou were large states with large populations. The two states combined had 30 million people, so Xuanping Wang Zhangjun Among the four princes, the strength is only below the Zhongshan King Xu Wu.

The Xuanping army of Xuanping King Zhang Jun had a strength of 2.5 million before the Han army invaded the Kingdom of Zhou. When the Han army divided into several routes and invaded Guizhou and Chenzhou, the total strength of the Xuanping army was It has already exceeded 3.5 million, and Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun has recruited almost five million young men in each city to help defend the city.

However, after the Han army invaded Guizhou and Chenzhou, the Xuanping army was still defeated. Many generals of the Xuanping army who defended the city took the initiative to open the city gate and chose to surrender to the Han army.

“Smack–” Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun gave a fierce punch and hit the book case in front of him, “This group of bastards, it was a waste of the king’s trust in them. As a result, as soon as the Han army came to the city, so many people opened it directly. The city gate surrendered!”

Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun’s confidant Zhao Lue said with a wry smile: “Master, in less than ten days, our Xuanping army has lost 16 cities and its military strength has been reduced by almost one million. If it continues, In one or two months, Guizhou and Chenzhou will completely fall into the hands of the Han army.”

Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun was silent for a while and asked, “Is there any news from Zhongshan Army?”

The counselor Zhao Lue sighed and said: “Zhongshan King Xu Wu promised to send one million elite troops to support Guizhou and Chenzhou. However, according to the information we have obtained, the Zhongshan Army only mobilized some troops mainly recruited and prepared to send them. Guizhou and Chenzhou, and these Zhongshan troops are still being assembled so far. I don’t know when they will arrive in Guizhou and Chenzhou, alas—”

Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and asked: “Mr. Zhao, can you say that our Xuanping Army can hold Guizhou and Chenzhou?”

The counselor Zhao Lue slowly shook his head and said: “Master, the Han army can be described as a tiger and wolf division, and the Han army also has the weapon to siege the city, even if we Xuanping army get the one million army of Zhongshan King Xu Wu Support, it is almost impossible to stop the Han army.”

After hesitating for a while, the counselor Zhao Lue continued: “Lord, why don’t you follow the example of Dingxiang King Zhu Yong and Kaiping King Deng Ying! At least you can keep the Zhang family prosperous and wealthy!”

Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun sighed for a long time and said, “This king is really unwilling!”

Although Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun was very unwilling to hand over Guizhou and Chenzhou, as well as millions of Xuanping army, to the Han army, the situation was better than others, and Xuanping Wang Zhang Jun finally chose Dingxiang King Zhu Yong and Kaiping King. Following the same path as Deng Ying, Liu Ji later canonized Zhang Jun as Xuanping Hou of the Han Dynasty.

It only took two months to The army of the Han Dynasty was full of wind and clouds, and successively annexed the six prefectures controlled by Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun. The total number of troops in the army alone exceeded the control of Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun. Up to eight million.

Of course, among the Kaiping Army, Dingxiang Army and Xuanping Army of more than 8 million, many of them belonged to excessive numbers, such as Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, but suddenly the army was expanded to nearly six million, but among them were truly combative. The troops accounted for a quarter.

Because Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun finally chose to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and the Han army was attacking by separate routes, Liu Ji was capturing Ezhou, Fuzhou, Yuezhou, Xiazhou, and returning. During the process of Zhou and Chenzhou, they did not absorb too much soul value.

In addition to the 1.8 million soul points left before, Liu Ji had just reached 2 million soul points after the Han army annexed Dingxiang King Zhu Yong, Kaiping King Deng Ying, and Xuanping King Zhang Jun.

At present, Liu Ji has been summoned to the top historical figures in the real world, as well as Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yun, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tong, and Lu Meng. All eight people were summoned by Liu Ji, and Liu Ji also consumed 1.6 million soul points and purchased eight marrow-cutting hair pills from the system store.
