The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Suining County, Shaoyang Prefecture, Xiangzhou, is located in the southwestern border of Xiangzhou. To the west is the State of Zhao, to the south is the State of Yan, and it is the border of the Three Kingdoms. Originally, there was only a 10,000-strong army stationed here, and it was Chang Shenghou's men and horses. Later, with the alliance between Xia and Yan, Zhao Guo became more and more afraid of the two countries. Over time, the two countries learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses. If they rely on their own efforts, they will suffer more and more losses, so they gathered troops and began to go south, intending to attack Yan.

Emperor Xia did not use more troops from Chang Shenghou and let Chang Shenghou continue to sit in Chang'an. Instead, he called Zhenyuan Hou Han Ming's 60,000 troops to Suining County, and the original 10,000 troops returned to Chang Shenghou's headquarters.

Twenty miles southwest of Suining County, there is a military camp stationed there. Because it is a temporary garrison, not a long-term one, no military town has been formed, and the soldiers' homes are no longer here, and they don't need to farm. Instead, they train around the clock and wait for the battle.

A few days ago, Chen Qingzhi received an urgent letter from Han Ming, Marquis of Zhenyuan, saying that His Royal Highness King Xian might be coming, so he has been waiting these few days. However, Chen Qingzhi became a little anxious when he did not wait for the figure.

He had never been anxious on the battlefield, but now he was anxious before His Royal Highness King Xian, and he laughed at himself. But he understands better, if His Highness has not come for a long time, is there any danger?

This place is located in a chaotic place bordering the three countries. Although the three countries have no intention of provoking a large-scale war, small fights are common.

The soldiers and horses of Zhao State often pretended to be horse thieves and attacked the business groups and villages of Yan State and Zhao State many times, even going deep into the territory of Xia State. But when Chen Qingzhi received the news and sent someone there, there was only a mess and innocent people who lost their lives. In the month since Chen Qingzhi came here, three business groups and one village have all been bloodbathed by thieves. As for the country of Yan, although Xifeng Pass is a natural barrier, he encountered more attacks.

Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't catch a current situation, and he was afraid that he would send troops to Zhao Guo and directly give the opponent an excuse, which would become the trigger for the start of the battle. And in the past month, he has been busy rectifying the military affairs. There are so many rat shit in the army, so it needs to be cleaned up, and the soldiers' aura, trust and belief must be cleaned up.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief! The scouts came to report and found a group of more than 30 horse thieves. The direction should be Feng Jiu."

Suddenly, a personal guard hurried into the military tent and reported to the latest military newspaper.

"More than 30 people? Damn it! Send me a military order, ordering General Gao Shen to send a ranger general to encircle and suppress! Be sure to keep the horse thieves behind. If you want to see people alive, you want to see dead bodies!" Chen Qingzhi immediately took out a military order and arranged.

The personal guards took the military order and hurried to make arrangements.

Where is Xiao Rui and his party at this time?

It was also a coincidence that they happened to be staying in Fengjiu Village, and when they were preparing their carriages and horses for departure in the morning, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the village.

Fengjiu Village is not big, with thirty or forty families. Li Yuanfang looked out from a high place, and saw a group of murderous people rushing towards them. Judging by their attire, they looked like horse thieves, but they were not as loose as horse thieves. You can tell they are elite cavalry.

Li Yuanfang immediately reported: "Your Highness! A group of cavalry pretending to be horse thieves rushed into the village immediately!"

"How many people?" Xiao Rui frowned, not expecting to encounter such a thing.

"More than thirty people!" Li Yuanfang said.

At this time, the people in the village also heard the sound of horseshoes, and they closed their doors and windows in fright. It seems that not long ago, the bloodbath of another village by horse thieves had spread throughout Suiyang County.

"Do you need my help?" Xiao Rui patted his saber.

Dian Wei laughed, and said: "If you need His Highness's help, it means that the three of us are too bad!"

"That's right!" Li Yuanfang and Han Xin nodded in response.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

The three of them rushed out immediately and stood guard at the head of the village. The horse thief who came to kill suddenly saw three men guarding in front of him, still holding weapons. The thief in front of him waved his weapon and shouted: "There are still people who want to resist! Haha... Brothers, raise your swords!" , kill them all!"

"Aww..." The horse thief behind him let out an excited roar, and his horse speed was faster when he sat down. More than 30 people rushed towards Dianwei three men, ready to trample them to death.

Dian Wei raised his brows, his aura suddenly raised, instead of dodging, he stepped forward. He rushed forward with three strides, directly dodging the slash of the leading horse thief, and then leaned close to him, and directly hit the horse's hooved horse with his shoulder. With a groan, he fell directly to one side and hit another person.

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei pulled out the iron halberd, jumped up, and beheaded the other two behind him under the horse.

Li Yuanfang drew out his sword, the light of the sword was electrified, he jumped up and stepped on the horse's head, swung his sword across and killed one person, then landed on the horse's back and started to attack.

Han Xin's martial arts was slightly inferior to Li Yuanfang's, only rank four, but the spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon, and it hit the thief's chest directly, and the spear bloomed with blood.

Three people encircled and suppressed more than 30 people, that's how domineering.

The horse thief had a certain chance of winning, but five or six people died just after the battle, especially the majestic and fierce man, with two halberds ferocious, and one halberd picked up a companion, like a roast chicken on a skewer.

"Not good! The enemy is too strong, retreat, retreat!" The thief realized that he had encountered a master, and someone turned his horse's head and was about to escape.

Dian Wei and Li Yuanfang were fighting the enemy head-on, Han Xin was clever, and surrounded them from the flanks. When he saw the horse thieves trying to escape, how could he let them do what they wanted? , Immediately the thief rushed forward, and was directly hit in the neck by Han Xin.

The others wanted to turn their horses around, but Han Xin was so quick, he shot them several times in the back of the heart, killing them.

The battle ended in more than two minutes.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia walked out of the village. Seeing that the three of them were not stained with too much blood, they knew that the battle was too easy.

Han Xin was picking up the thief's clothes, looking at the details, and finally walked towards Xiao Rui with a thief's saber, and said, "Your Highness, the thief didn't have anything to prove his identity in order to hide his identity, but this weapon is Zhao Guo's standard." The sabres, and the war horses are all Hequ horses from Zhao, so it seems that these bandits are Zhao cavalry in disguise!"

Xiao Rui said angrily: "That's unreasonable! Zhao Guo didn't dare to confront him face to face, so he just played such a dirty trick? If he hadn't met us this time, wouldn't Fengjiu Village have suffered?"

Guo Jia sighed: "This trick is really insidious and despicable. I don't know which general of Zhao State ordered it. We must meet him well!"

"It's not just meeting him!" Xiao Rui has already made a murderous attempt.

Seeing that the culprits had been slaughtered, the people in the village came out and knelt down to thank Xiao Rui and others for their kindness. At this moment, the Ranger General sent by Chen Qingzhi rushed over.

The leader, General Ranger, looked dignified, and the horse he was sitting on had already been whipped to the fastest speed by him, so he seemed too slow, fearing that if he went late, the people of Fengjiu Village would be in danger.

When they came, they saw the horse thieves lying on the ground at the head of the village, and the people who were safe and sound. General Ranger looked at each other, and more than thirty horse thieves were wiped out like this?

Xiao Rui also saw the Ranger General who was rushing over. Seeing them rushing over, Xiao Rui nodded secretly. They did not slack off, and their faces were anxious, which meant that Chen Qingzhi had already managed the soldiers in an orderly manner.

The ranger general got off his horse and heard that Xiao Rui had killed all the culprits, so he immediately stepped forward.

When he saw Dian Wei's toughness, especially those pair of iron halberds, good guy, he must have weighed seventy or eighty catties, and then looked at the other two, they were also brave men.

"Young Master, thank you for saving the people of Fengjiu Village. Thank you for your kindness!" General Ranger lowered his official position and thanked him.

Xiao Rui is very satisfied with his attitude, holding military power but not being proud, this is what an excellent middle-level general should look like, and he is the mainstay who can appease the soldiers' morale and follow the general's orders.

Xiao Rui said: "You're welcome, this is what all Da Xia Erlang should do. Send someone to inform Chen Qingzhi, let him come to see the king!"

"Ah?" General Ranger was stunned, Chen Qingzhi was their chief soldier, and he was summoned by the young man in front of him?

Wait, what did I just hear, my lord?

"Your Highness, Your Highness King Xian! The last general pays homage to His Highness King Xian!" General You Xia immediately cupped his fists and bowed. He was one of Chen Qingzhi's confidantes, and he had heard about what happened in Licheng Junzhen. will fall apart.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Get up, and go to the simultaneous interpretation."

"Yes!" The man immediately got on his horse and went to report in person.

After Chen Qingzhi heard the news, he rushed to Fengjiu Village immediately and met Xiao Rui.

"The last general, Chen Qingzhi, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xian!" Chen Qingzhi said respectfully.

Xiao Rui scolded: "Chen Qingzhi, are you guilty?"

Chen Qingzhi's heart tightened, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "The general will be convicted!"

"It's good to be guilty! Tell me what you did wrong!" Xiao Rui asked.

Chen Qingzhi said: "The last general's defense was not good enough, causing the Zhao cavalry to pretend to be horse thieves and massacre merchant groups and common people. I implore Your Highness to punish them!"

Xiao Rui shook his head, and said: "Although you have 60,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to break them up and protect the entire Xiangzhou! Zhao Guo resorted to indiscriminate methods, which made you hard to defend against, and you Can't stop! Twenty or thirty of them packed lightly and ran away after killing them. If you received the news and chased after you, it would have been a waste of time. So this king is not holding you accountable because of poor defense."

Guo Jia on the side smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, Qingzhi, as the commander-in-chief of one side, has only been in Suining County for a month, and he was scheduled to rectify military affairs in the early stage. In addition, the location here is special, the three countries border each other, and the three armies are facing each other. If you attack Zhao Guo rashly, retaliate with an eye, you may fall into Zhao Guo's trap and trigger the flames of war."

Only now did Chen Qingzhi realize that His Highness blamed himself for not retaliating blood for blood. If the other party sent someone to invade, he would send ten times a hundred times more!

Xiao Rui knew that it was not easy for Chen Qingzhi, he didn't really want to punish him, but told him a truth.

"Qingzhi, whoever offends me will be punished even if he is far away! If Zhao Guo dares to play tricks, then have fun with him! The sky is falling, there is a tall man watching, this king is definitely the one who stands up for you !” Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi felt a sense of arrogance. He realized that he had thought too much, so much so that he had forgotten the original intention of being a soldier. Isn't it just to defend the country and protect the people?

"This subordinate understands!" Chen Qingzhi said respectfully.

Xiao Rui nodded, stretched out his hand to support Chen Qingzhi, and grinned at the corner of his mouth, revealing a stern sneer: "Since this king is here, let's have fun with Zhao Guo. I am not afraid of heaven and earth. If His Majesty is not here, even if a war is triggered How about it? We Xiahui will be afraid? I will be afraid?"

Zhao Guo, are you ready to bear the anger next?
