Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 504: Lu State Invasion

On the afternoon of March 10th, Dajin 429 years, in a study room at the mansion of Canglong City Army Taiwei Dou Bing, the riding general Dou Bing said to Dou Yan solemnly: "Uncle, now in the thirteenth generation family, Many people are already ready to accept Zhang Mingqi's conditions. Uncle, how do you think about this matter?"

Dou Bing, the captain of the Ministry of War, whose face was expressionless, asked, "What do you think?"

Dou Bing pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, although Zhang Mingqi promised to our thirteenth family that the official positions of the uncle and the other twelve court ministers will remain unchanged, our thirteenth family can still control the 16 guards of the Forbidden Army. Our thirteenth family The interests of the states and counties in Dajin are not, but what if we let the Suzhou Xiang army enter the Canglong City and promote Zhang Mingqi to the position of prime minister, Zhang Mingqi repents and starts to deal with our thirteenth generation family?"

The military chief Dou Yan sighed and said, "To be honest, Zhang Mingqi’s conditions for our thirteenth family are already very generous. The reason why the old man has not expressed his position is because he is worried that Zhang Mingqi might control the power of the court. Will not keep promises, our thirteenth generation family will be in danger by then."

Dou Bing thought for a while and then said: "Uncle, there has been news from the Protector of the Western Regions. The captive general Liu Ji led the captive army has completely defeated Gao Changguo and forced Gao Chang to cede a large amount to the Protector of the Western Regions. The land, even the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, Gaochang City, was ceded by Gaochang Kingdom to the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Presumably, as long as we hold on for a while, General Liu Ji should be able to lead the broken army back to Canglong City and relieve Suzhou. The rebels encircle Canglong City."

Dou Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Many people in the thirteenth family think that Liu Ji is more dangerous than Zhang Mingqi. Once Liu Ji leads soldiers into Canglong City, maybe Liu Ji will not leave!"

Dou Bing opened his mouth, trying to defend Liu Ji, but he didn't say anything.

From the bottom of his heart, Dou Bing was unwilling to succumb to Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the rebels in Suzhou, but the fruits of the battle this time in the Western Regions were so shocking. It is normal for everyone to have doubts about the army and Liu Jihui.

In this battle between the Brokers and the four powers of the Western Regions, perhaps Dawan, Cheshi, and Anxi did not do their best, but the large tracts of land ceded by Gaochang were literally annexed by the Western Regions. From this we can see how powerful the current army is.

Dou Yan followed helplessly and said: "The old man is now in a dilemma. After all, if Zhang Mingqi can really keep his promise, for our thirteenth family, it will be a blessing in misfortune. At least the foundation of our thirteenth family can be preserved."

"Uncle, no matter what decision you make, your nephew will support you!"

"Oh-let the old man think about it again! This choice is not easy to decide!"

On the evening of March 10, in a giant tent in the Suzhou Xiang Army camp south of Canglong City, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, frowned and asked the counselor Tang Yan: "There is no news from the thirteenth family in Canglong City. Do they agree or disagree with the conditions given by this official?"

The counselor Tang Yan said: "Master, the few companies that contacted us just said that they still need to do the work of other companies, so it will take some time to reply to us."

Zhang Mingqi snorted coldly and said: "Give them some more time, maybe the reinforcements of the Sundering Army will arrive in Canglong City, are they delaying time?"

Zhang Mingqi was still very afraid of the Puppet Army in his heart. After all, when he was in the southeast, the Puppet Army beat the Red Scarf Army miserably. Now the Puppet Army alone defeated the coalition forces of the four major powers in the Western Regions, and they also occupied it. Most of Gaochang State's land is very famous.

Although the Suzhou Xiang Army gathered twenty-six guards in the Canglong City area, with a total strength of more than three million, Zhang Mingqi still had no confidence in the battle against the imposing army.

The counselor Tang Yan hesitated and said: "Lord, if the thirteenth family is not willing to accept our terms before the Lulu Army arrives in Canglong City, our subordinates suggest that our Suzhou Xiang Army should first withdraw to the southeast seven states."

Zhang Mingqi sighed and said, "To be honest, if the Raiders of the Raiders arrive in Canglong City, I am really not as confident. The performance of the Raiders of the Raiders in the Western Regions this time is too dazzling. It seems that our Suzhou Xiang Army must be prepared to retreat to the southeast. Up."

The counselor Tang Yan said comfortingly: "Lord, no matter what, all the seven southeast states, except for half of Suzhou, have all fallen into the hands of our Suzhou Xiang Army. As long as our Suzhou Xiang Army can hold the southeast, relying on the Southeast The taxation of various states, our Suzhou Xiang Army will definitely become stronger and stronger, and we will have more opportunities to seize Canglong City and even the entire Great Jin."

Just when the thirteenth family was still struggling with whether to agree to Zhang Mingqi's conditions, and the Suzhou Xiang Army was also ready to evacuate the Canglong City area, a shocking news came, which immediately disrupted everything.

On March 13, Dajin 429, Lu, which had just annexed the eight states of Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai last year, suddenly sent troops to invade Zhejiang and Fuzhou in Dajin.

Now Zhejiang and Fuzhou have been acquired by the Suzhou Xiang Army. As a result, the Suzhou Xiang Army guarding the border between Zhejiang and Fuzhou was caught off guard by the Lu State Army. Several important border towns in Zhejiang and Fuzhou were in the hands of the Lu State Army. Under the surprise attack, it has fallen into the hands of the Lu State Army. If it weren't for the Suzhou Xiang Army on the border of these two states, there were several guards based on hundreds of thousands of elite frontier troops, and the situation might have been even worse.

Zhang Mingqi learned that Lu's army had invaded Zhejiang and Fuzhou. While furious, he couldn't help but feel chills. You must know that Lu is the veritable first power in the entire East, and has annexed Jiao, Xun, and Gu. After joining with Lai, Lu has already owned 57 states, and Lu’s standing army has been maintained at more than nine million.

We must know that the more than nine million Lu State’s standing army is not a temporary conscription of civilians. It is more than nine million trained elites. Although the Suzhou Xiang Army has more than six million troops, most of them are They are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is far from that of Lu's army.

Zhang Mingqi immediately ordered the twenty-six guards in the Canglong City area to immediately withdraw to the southeast seven states. As for the desire to enter the Canglong City and control the power of Dajin, he had to temporarily give up.

On the night of March 16, in a chamber of the Canglong City War Department Taiwei Dou Yan's residence, Dou Yanru relieved his burden and said to the other twelve court officials: "This is really a mountain and river, and there is nowhere to go. The village, although Lu’s invasion is a disaster for our entire Dajin, it is good news for the Canglong City at this time. Since yesterday, the Suzhou rebels who besieged Canglong City have left in batches. Up."

The other twelve imperial court officials included the official department Taiwei Yang Zhong, the Li Ministry Taiwei Wang Zhihuan, the Xing Ministry Taiwei Zhao Boran, the Ministry of Industry Taiwei Sun Mingtao, the Household Ministry Taiwei Zheng Kai, the Ministry of War Shangshu Han Renji, the Official Department Shangshu Wu Ziyu, the Household Department Shangshu Zhang Shunran, The Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry Chen Sikai, the Hussar General Xiao Su, the Hussar General Li Hong, and the Hussar General He Guangzong, at this time, the faces of these important court officials also showed a relaxed look.

Lieutenant Yang Zhong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Lu's invasion would indirectly help Canglong City to break the siege. Now Zhezhou and Fuzhou have become the territory of Suzhou rebels. How to deal with Lu's army? Invasion, it's time for Zhang Mingqi to get rid of the headache."

At this time, the official secretary Wu Ziyu suddenly said: "Everyone, although the siege of Canglong City has been resolved, but the Lu army invaded Zhejiang and Fuzhou, our court cannot ignore it. Once the Suzhou Xiang army is defeated by the Lu army. Hand, then the entire seven southeastern states will be annexed by the State of Lu, and no one can guarantee that Lu's army will stop at the seven southeastern states. At that time, our Great Jin may be in danger of subjugation."

After Wu Ziyu, the official secretary of the bureau, fell into a temporary silence, everyone knew that Lu was powerful. Once Lu really wanted to annex the entire Dajin, it would definitely be an extinction for Dajin. Disaster.

With the current situation of internal and external troubles of the Da Jin court, if the Suzhou Xiang Army was really defeated by the Lu army, the Da Jin court alone would not want to contend with the Lu state.

Hussar General He Guangzong broke the silence of everyone in the Chamber, "Don’t forget that our Dajin still has the army that can defeat the four powers of the Western Regions. General Liu Ji will never stand idly by!"

The Hubu Shangshu Zhang Shunran then said: "With the impoverished army, it should be impossible for the Lu State to annex the entire Dajin, but the seven Southeastern states are the essence of our Dajin. It is best to avoid the seven states from falling in the Southeast Entering the hands of the State of Lu, otherwise, even if the troops of the State of Lu can finally be driven out of the seven southeast states, the entire seven southeastern states may be over."

Wang Zhihuan, the Crown Lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, frowned and asked, "Does the court still send troops to support the rebels in Suzhou?"

The official secretary Wu Ziyu nodded and said: "Even if you support the Suzhou Xiang Army, why not! Now that the Lu Army invades Zhejiang and Fuzhou, the most important thing for us in the Great Jin Dynasty is to defend against foreign enemies. Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, is also the court. The appointed animal husbandry of Suzhou Prefecture, at this time, all of us in Dajin should put aside their differences and work together to ensure that we are in the 24 states of Dajin!"

As soon as Wu Ziyu's voice fell, several important court officials in the chamber nodded involuntarily. In the face of the invasion of Lu's army, it was indeed not impossible to turn the enemy into friends with the Suzhou Xiang Army.

Tai Wei Dou Yan turned his head to ask Yang Zhong, Tai Wei, Tai Wei Yang, what do you think about the invasion of Zhejiang and Fuzhou by Lu's army?"

Lieutenant Yang Zhong hesitated and said: "Although the Suzhou Xiang Army encircled Canglong City, it is already a big rebellion, but the matter between our court and Suzhou Xiang Army is an internal contradiction. Now the Lu State Army has invaded our Dajin Zhezhou. With Fuzhou, it was an invasion by foreign enemies. If the Lu army can be driven out of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if it is temporarily united with the Suzhou Xiang Army, it will be fine."

Taiwei Dou Yan nodded slightly and said, "It looks like you can contact Zhang Mingqi from Suzhou Xiang Army."

On the morning of March 17, Dou Yan, the military chief, sent his nephew Dou Chong to use a rope to run out of Canglong City from the city wall and arrive at the Suzhou Xiang Army Camp to the south of Canglong City.

In a huge tent in the Suzhou Xiang Army camp, Dou Chong said his intention to Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, and then said to Zhang Mingqi: "Zhang Zhoumu, this time the court sent me to see you with ten With great sincerity, I hope that Zhangzhou Mu can put aside the conflict with the court, unite with the court, and jointly drive the Lu army out of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Zhang Mingqi said in a deep voice: "Not only the court has sincerity, but the officer is also sincere. If it were not for the envoy sent by the court, the officer would have returned to the seven southeastern states yesterday. It is very unfavorable. The strength of the Lu's army to invade these two states is at least two million or more.

After a pause, Zhang Mingqi continued: "Sincere is not just lip service. This official hopes that the court can formally appoint this official as the governor of the southeast ~ www.wuxiahere.com~ to take charge of all the military and administration of the seven southeast states."

Dou Chong immediately frowned and said: "Zhangzhou Mu, the court has never set up any official position as the governor of the southeast, and now most of Suzhou is still in the hands of our imperial army. Could Zhang Zhoumu ask the court to let the rest of Suzhou also come out?"

Zhang Mingqi waved his hand and said, "That half of Suzhou, the chief has no time to pay attention to it. Now the chief's mind is in Zhejiang and Fuzhou. The official position of the governor of the southeast is just to appease the millions of Suzhou Xiangjun. The soldiers, you can’t let the millions of soldiers from Suzhou Xiang Army come to Canglong City with this official Bai!"

"This... Zhang Zhoumu, this request is not for me. I need to return to Canglong City. Please make your decision."

"The officer will stay here in Canglong City for another day, hoping to wait for the good news from Mr. Dou. The resistance to the invasion of Lu's army is not just our Suzhou Xiang Army's own business!"

Regarding Zhang Mingqi’s request, after a lot of verbal disputes, the court’s important officials finally agreed to appoint Zhang Mingqi as the governor of the southeast under the leadership of the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War to govern Qiongzhou, Suzhou, Lianzhou, Zhejiang, Fuzhou, All military and political events in Hangzhou and half of Suzhou.

Anyway, the above-mentioned areas have been occupied by Zhang Mingqi’s Suzhou Xiang Army. Zhang Mingqi just wants a name. In the face of the invasion of Lu's army, it is most important to appease Zhang Mingqi and let Zhang Mingqi and the court resist the Lu's army. of.

After Zhang Mingqi obtained the post of the Governor of Southeast Asia that had never appeared before in the Jin Dynasty, he left the Canglong City area with the Suzhou Xiang Army, and returned to the southeast with the Suzhou Xiang Army. There was also the Hussar General Xiao. Suhe Hussar General Li Hong and the six guards of the Forbidden Army.
