Chinese General Summoning System

On the afternoon of October 20th, 429, Dajin, in a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the State of Lu, Emperor Jiang Sheng of the State of Lu said with a calm face to Liu Mian, the military chief: "The black butterfly in the grassland passed it back. It’s reported that Liu Ji, the enlisted general of the Jin Kingdom, has now brought his army to defeat the coalition forces of more than one hundred nomads on the grassland, and has also annexed the grasslands where Rouran and Wuheng have lived for generations. , Even the Xianbei tribe, one of the three strongest clans in the grassland, cede a large area of ​​grassland to the Xianbei army. That is to say, the army that crosses the Western Regions and the grasslands can go south to Zhejiang Province in Jin State at any time. And Fuzhou!"

Liu Mian, the prefect of the Ministry of War of the State of Lu, shouted with a look of shock: "How is this possible! It's not that the coalition of more than 100 nomads on the grassland includes the three powerful tribes of the Huns, Xianbei, and Khitan, and the other six. Dazu, is the number of cavalry gathered up to ten million? How could it be lost to the Sundering Army?"

At this time, the black butterfly commander of the State of Lu in the palace, Zhang Xiang said in a deep voice: "Although it is unbelievable, the Raiders did defeat the coalition composed of more than one hundred nomads on the grassland, bringing millions to the grassland coalition forces. The loss of human beings, but the loss of the army itself was only a few hundred thousand, which is a miracle."

The emperor of the Lu Kingdom, Jiang Sheng, said immediately: "This miracle created by the Broken Army will likely bring about very big variables to our Lu State’s attack on Jin. Now our Lu State has invested in the territory of Jin State. We have four main armies and five ordinary armies, as well as more than 1.5 million auxiliary troops. However, our Lu's army is still restricted to Zhejiang and Fuzhou. Once the captive troops reach Zhejiang and Fuzhou, we Lu's plan to annex the southeastern states of Shanxi this time is completely useless!"

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the Southeast Xiang Army under Zhang Mingqi, the governor of the Southeastern State of Jin, has completely exceeded our expectations in terms of combat effectiveness and strength. Occupying the advantage of the terrain, this has made our Lu's four main armies and five ordinary legions have been trapped in Zhejiang and Fuzhou in Jin. According to the current situation, our Lu's army cannot be in a short period of time. What big breakthroughs have been made within."

The Emperor of Lu State Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and asked: "So far, our nine legions of Lu State have lost in Zhezhou and Fuzhou in the Jin State. How many troops have they lost? In addition, the Jin State Southeast Xiang Army in Zhezhou and Fuzhou can still how many?"

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War immediately replied: "Your Majesty, our Lu Kingdom has entered the four main armies and five ordinary armies of Zhejiang and Fuzhou in Jin. So far, more than one million casualties have been killed, of which only the number was killed. Just over 800,000. Our Ministry of Defense has already added almost 700,000 recruits to the nine corps. The overall combat effectiveness of the nine corps has not degraded much."

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang then said: "Your Majesty, according to the information we have in Black Butterfly, the Southeast Xiang Army under Zhang Mingqi, the chief governor of the southeast, has a total of 54 guards, of which 42 are guards. Gathered in Zhejiang and Fuzhou, and during the war in the past few months, the losses of the Southeast Xiang Army were at least twice that of our Lu State Army. However, the Southeast Xiang Army has a large population in the southeastern seven states of Jin State, and the Southeast Xiang Army is easy to lose. It can be supplemented by the source of troops. Now the Southeast Xiang Army gathers 42 guards in Zhejiang and Fuzhou, each with a strength of more than 100,000. According to the organization of the Southeast Xiang Army, each guard has five brigades. Each brigade has five battalions. Each battalion has about 5,000 men, and one guard has more than 120,000 troops."

Lu Emperor Jiang Sheng shook his head and said: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. In the case of Jin’s internal and external troubles, the Southeast Xiang Army alone can gather so many troops. It seems that our Lu State wants to annex Jin. It will be very, very difficult for the southeastern states of China, and even the entire Jin State."

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang said again: "Your Majesty, in addition to the Southeast Xiang Army in Zhezhou and Fuzhou in the Kingdom of Jin, there are also elite troops of the Jin Kingdom’s six guards with more than 300,000 guards. Therefore, our Lu Army is in Within the borders of Zhejiang and Fuzhou in the Kingdom of Jin, the number of enemies facing them is likely to be more than 5 million."

Liu Mian, the chief of the military department, then looked at the gloomy expression of Emperor Jiang Sheng and hesitated to suggest: "Your Majesty, now our Lu State has paid a considerable price for this war to annex the southeastern states of Jin. Isn’t it possible to consider ending this war? If our Lu State wants to continue fighting, then we must prepare more troops. After all, Jin’s smashing forces may go south at any time. Our Lu State is in Zhejiang and Fuzhou. The army will be under greater pressure!"

The words of Prince Liu Mian of the Ministry of War caused Emperor Jiang Sheng to fall into contemplation. At present, there are 26 legions in the entire Lu Kingdom, ten of which are main legions, and the remaining sixteen are ordinary legions. The strength of the Lu Kingdom’s main legions is approximately At 450,000, the general army’s strength is around 300,000.

According to the total strength of the Lu's army, it is entirely possible to mobilize at least seven or eight more regiments into the battlefield of Jin, without affecting Lu's defense against other neighboring countries, but in that case, the logistical pressure will be doubled.

You must know that Lu has just conquered the Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai between the two countries of Shandong and Jin. The borders of these four countries are not peaceful, not to mention that Lu has invaded Jin during this time. How long did the plan take? It was entirely because of the millions of armies of the Suzhou Xiang Army at that time. The soldiers surrounded the capital of Jin for more than two months. Only then did the Emperor of Lu Jiang Sheng take the opportunity of the civil strife in Jin to invade with troops. Within the territory of Jin.

"If we are transferred to the two main armies and four ordinary armies to Zhezhou and Fuzhou in the Jin Kingdom, can the war between Zhejiang and Fuzhou be completely resolved before the arrival of the squadrons?" Emperor Jiang Sheng was a little heartbroken. Some unwilling people asked Liu Mian, the military chief.

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, our Lu State Army has four main armies in Zhejiang and Fuzhou, as well as five ordinary legions. There is no shortage in terms of strength, but the Southeastern Xiang Army of the Jin Kingdom is not with us Lu The army faced off head-on, and the soldiers and horses of our Lu State Army were blocked by the Jin's Southeastern Xiang Army using the fortified city and the precipitous terrain."

The emperor Jiang Sheng sighed and said, "Could it be that this time we invaded the Jin country, our Lu country can only return without success? I am really not reconciled!"

Lieutenant Liu Mian of the Ministry of War persuaded: "Your Majesty, take a step back and broaden the sky. It will not be too late to study the annexation of Jin after our Lu State has completely digested the eight states of Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai!"

Emperor Jiang Sheng turned his head and asked Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang: "What is your opinion on this war to annex the southeastern states of Shanxi?"

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, we Black Butterfly has sent two of the most elite assassin teams. Captive General Liu Ji, as long as a team of assassins can succeed, the situation in Jin can be changed, so can we wait for the end of the war to annex the southeastern states of Jin?"

Emperor Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up, "Last time your Black Butterfly sent more than 20 elite assassins to assassinate the southeast governor Zhang Mingqi of the Kingdom of Jin, but the whole army was wiped out. Can the two assassin teams succeed this time?"

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the two assassin teams this time can be said to include the most powerful group of our Black Butterfly people. As for whether they can succeed, their subordinates dare not make a guarantee. After all, Zhang Mingqi Around Liu Ji and Liu Ji, there are very powerful defense forces."

Emperor Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, and then said to Liu Mian, Grand Lieutenant of the Ministry of War, “Let the various regiments in Zhejiang and Fuzhou reduce their attack on the Southeast Xiang Army, and at the same time, your Ministry of War will turn to the original states of Jiao, Xun and Gu. With Lai’s eight states, two main armies and four ordinary armies are dispatched. As long as one of Black Butterfly’s two assassin teams can succeed, our Lu State can continue this war!"

Just when Emperor Jiang Sheng of the Lu Kingdom learned that the Lulu Army defeated the grassland coalition forces, Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Southeast China in Ningbo City, the capital of Zhejiang Province, also received this shocking news.

On the evening of October 20th, in the state and animal husbandry mansion in Ningbo City, Zhang Mingqi said in a deep voice to counselor Tang Yan and generals Zhao Lianjin and Liu Fengbao: "There is news from the grassland. A coalition of nomadic peoples is likely to be transferred to the southeast by the court to participate in the war."

The other generals in the Southeast Xiang Army were in other places in Zhejiang and Fuzhou, leading their troops against Lu's army.

Zhang Mingqi’s cousin Liu Fengbao frowned and said: “Master, the Xianbei army has defeated the allied forces including the three strong grasslands of the Huns, Xianbei and Khitan. Once the army has come to the southeast to help us repel the Lu army, Maybe the Sundering Army won't leave the southeast easily!"

Zhang Mingqi sighed and said: "The capital governor also has this concern. If the Sundering Army stays in the southeast, it will be as serious as the invasion of the Lu State Army to our Southeast Xiang Army, and the Sundering Army is the army of the Great Jin Dynasty. , We can also get the support of the people of the seven southeast states. If it were not for the support of the people of the seven southeast states for our Southeast Xiang Army, our Southeast Xiang Army would not be able to block the Lu State Army within the borders of Zhejiang and Fuzhou."

Zhang Mingqi’s confidant general Zhao Lianjin followed: “What the lord said is that our Southeast Xiang Army’s 42 guards in Zhejiang and Fuzhou have lost a total of about 2 million people since the invasion of Lu’s army. Now we are here. The forty-two guards are still almost in full rank. This is inseparable from the support of the people of the seven southeastern states. If our Southeast Xiang Army and the Raiders go to war, the people of the seven southeast states will not necessarily stand. Our Southeast Army side."

The counselor Tang Yan said to Zhang Mingqi at this time: "Lord, the army defeated the coalition forces of more than one hundred nomads in the grassland. It may not be a bad thing for our Southeast Xiang army."

Zhang Mingqi frowned and asked: "Does Mr. Tang mean that the Puppet Army can help our Southeast Xiang Army resist the Lu State Army?"

Counselor Tang Yan shook his head and said, "Master, if the Sundering Army comes to the southeast, it will definitely do more harm than good to our Southeast Xiang Army, but what if the Sundering Army does not come?"

"What does Mr. Tang mean?"

"My lord, since we have all received the news of the victory over the Allied Forces in the steppe, the Lu State will definitely get the news. During the months of the Lu State Army’s invasion, our Southeast Xiang Army can say that we rely solely on ourselves. , Just born in the borders of Zhejiang and Fuzhou, blocking the footsteps of the millions of elite troops of Lu State. If Lu State knows that the army that defeated the grassland coalition forces can go south to join this war at any time, then Lu State dare Will we continue to stalemate with our Southeast Army?"

Zhang Mingqi slapped his thigh and said, "Mr. Tang makes sense. We can't defeat the southeast wing army alone, and the Lu army can't defeat it. With the addition of a spoiler army, how can Lu's army continue to fight? Maybe Lu. That emperor is studying to retreat at this time!"

Zhao Lianjin frowned and said, "I am worried that the Lu State knows that the Luk-breaking Army will go south at any time~www.wuxiahere.com~ It will send additional troops to Zhejiang and Fuzhou. After all, the Lu State Army has a total of 26 legions and is now entering Zhejiang. There are only nine Lu State Army regiments in Fuzhou. Even if Lu State mobilizes another nine legions to enter Zhejiang and Fuzhou, it is easy to do. Moreover, Lu State has great potential for war. It is not impossible to form twenty-six legions."

The counselor Tang Yan smiled and said confidently: "General Zhao is too worried. Now Lu has sent nine legions to Zhejiang and Fuzhou. This is actually the limit of Lu. It does not mean that Lu cannot send troops. It is the logistic supply that restricts the size of Lu's army entering Zhejiang and Fuzhou. We must know that our Southeast Army has always adopted the tactics of stiffening the walls and clearing the country. The millions of Lu's troops, grain and other materials in Zhejiang and Fuzhou need to be sent from Lu. The transportation from the territory of the country has another problem, that is, the states of Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai, which were just occupied by the Lu state, are not very peaceful, which affects the logistics supply of Lu's army to a certain extent."

Tang Yan's words caused Zhang Mingqi, Zhao Lianjin and Liu Fengbao in the room to nod their heads.

The counselor Tang Yan then continued: "In addition, our Southeast Xiang Army can block millions of elite troops in the Lu State within the territory of Zhejiang and Fuzhou. It is not how powerful our Southeast Xiang Army is, but our Southeast Xiang Army’s occupation. The advantage of the geographical advantage, such as the Hengmei Mountain south of Ningbo City, even if the Lu Kingdom's army is several times more, don't think of easily overtaking the Hengmei Mountain guarded by our Southeast Xiang Army!"

The Southeast Xiang Army deployed almost ten guards on the dangerous peaks of the Hengmei Mountain, and the Lu army that attacked these dangerous peaks consisted of two main armies and two ordinary legions, but the Lu army attacked. After staying at Hengmei Mountain for several months, no progress was made, and it was still blocked in the plain south of Hengmei Mountain.
