Chapter 367 Wei Wuzu!
"I mean, Donghuai cannot be destroyed!"
"However... we cannot give them a chance to breathe. As for me, Dayu, the national treasury has been difficult to maintain due to successive wars. Today, a battle in the southern border of the west has resulted in the loss of more than 100,000 people."
"If the Donghuai River is destroyed, I, the Great Yu, will bear hundreds of miles of coastline of the East China Sea and will inevitably face the Japanese slaves."
"Therefore, Donghuai cannot be destroyed, but it must be under the control of me, Dayu. The dead Donghuai and the powerful Donghuai are both unprofitable to me, Dayu. Only the half-dead Donghuai, That’s what’s best for me, Dayu!”
As soon as Emperor Yu finished speaking, Ning Chen nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Father, have you heard that the princess is now overseeing the country in Donghuai?"
"Want to marry me, Dayu?"
"Um!"
"My little brother has now reached the marriageable age, why not let me marry Princess Donghuai?"
"Second brother..."
Emperor Yu had a look of contemplation on his face. He asked Ning Fan to marry Princess Donghuai. It was not that he had not considered it. However, Donghuai would be destroyed sooner or later, and he did not want Ning Fan to follow in his footsteps.
In the future, if Dayu destroys Donghuai, how will Ning Fan's situation be different from his own?
"I am planning to let my second son marry Princess Changning. What do you think?"
"Princess Changning..."
Ning Chen's expression froze, and he nodded slightly: "Yes!"
"Well, I will recall Duke Jingguo when I have time to discuss it with you!"
The father and son chatted for a long time, talking about the Battle of the Western Territory, the state funeral, and the governance of the country, so that no one knew what they talked about later.
As a carriage entered Beijing, Emperor Yu returned to the palace and summoned the Donghuai envoys to have a detailed discussion.
A month later, Dayu withdrew his troops thirty miles from the east and gave up three cities.
The Eastern Territory ended with peace talks!
…
Huainan.
Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Wen He, have all the matters in the Eastern Territory been settled?"
"Back to my lord, everything is under control."
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded, with a look of relief on his face, and said softly: "I never thought that that girl could reach this step step by step, it is really amazing."
"Your Highness, the three princesses are now becoming more and more powerful in the court, and even have sole control of military and political power. If one day..."
Jia Xu expressed his worries, but Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "No!"
"Today Donghuai is like a sick cat. Only with our help can she take control."
"Once the Donghuai government and the public find out that we have been supporting her behind her, there will be turmoil, so she doesn't dare."
Ning Fan thought about Qu Hongxiu's loyalty. When he left Beijing, it was 83 points. It could be said that he was trustworthy enough. Out of his trust in the system, he was very relieved about Qu Hongxiu.
"Wen He, I heard that the south is not peaceful!"
"yes!"
Jia Xu also had a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, now the entire Southern Barbarian government has completely become the one-note hall of the Barbarian God Sect, and our secret son has also become the puppet of the Barbarian God Sect."
"Wuyou is struggling to support himself, but he has no power in his hands."
"Given time, trouble will surely arise!"
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Ning Fan looked at Lin Yong who was not far away and said softly: "Lin Yong, go and invite Feng Xiao and Gongtai."
"yes!"
Lin Yong strode away, and Ning Fan's eyes flashed with sparkle: "Wuyou sent a secret message to this king. Nanman is preparing to take action against me!"
"hehe!"
"You really don't know how to live or die."
There was a hint of disdain in Ning Fan's eyes. Not to mention the generals around him, just Lin Yong and Xiao Longnu who had been hiding in the dark. Unless the Man Shen Sect dispatched more than five masters, in this Lingzhou City, Yu There's nothing threatening about him.
"Lord, we have to guard against it!"
"Especially on the southwest border, there are no troops stationed in Zhou County in the southwest. It would be unthinkable if the Southern Barbarians send troops to attack!"
"And since Kong Ming returned from the Zhou Dynasty, Dali's troops also retreated thirty miles from the southwest."
There was a look of surprise on Ning Fan's face. The southwest border had always been the explosive point between Dayu and Dali. In the past years, frictions had often occurred. Unexpectedly, Dali would not hesitate to withdraw his troops thirty miles.
Is this a sign of goodwill to Dayu?
But as a result, there will be a vacuum in the southwest border, where the three kingdoms of Dayu, Dayu, and Nanman are bordered by each other but no one cares about it!
It will definitely give Nanman an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Ning Fan pondered for a moment, opened the system, and clicked Sign In.
"Congratulations, master, for getting telescope*10!"
"telescope!"
Ning Fan's face showed a hint of joy. He had actually forgotten this battlefield artifact. The manufacturing principle of a telescope was not difficult, but he had never thought of it.
Unexpectedly, there are ten rewards for signing in now.
"System, use a troop summoning card!"
Now he holds two troop summoning cards in his hand, which he has never used. Now that the border is in an emergency, naturally he cannot delay it any longer.
It’s nothing more than tens of thousands of mouths!
I just don’t know which iron army came into the world?
"Used successfully!"
"Congratulations, master, for obtaining Wei Wu soldiers*10,000!"
"Wei Wuzu!"
There was a sparkle in Ning Fan's eyes. Wei Wuzu was an "ancient special forces soldier" created by the famous Warring States general Wu Qi. The selection conditions were extremely strict.
According to "Xunzi's Commentary on War", "The soldiers of Wei took it with a measure, wore armor of three attributes, wielded a crossbow of twelve stones, carried fifty arrows, placed it on the grate, wore a crown and a sword, and won three days' worth of food. If you are in the middle, you will be a hundred miles away. If you are in the middle, your household will be restored, and the land of Wei Wu will be restored."
That is to say, a soldier must be able to wear triple armor, hold a halberd in his hand, hang an iron sword on his waist, carry a rhinoceros-faced oars on his back, carry 50 crossbow bolts and a powerful crossbow, carry three days of army rations at the same time, and be able to march a hundred times continuously in half a day. Only the soldiers here can become soldiers.
The once world-famous Wei Wuzu phalanx defeated the Qin Dynasty's 500,000 troops with 50,000 troops and horses.
Unfortunately, the flaws in the Wei military soldier system were that the soldiers were supported by the state and the recruitment system caused the soldiers to age and their combat effectiveness declined, and they were gradually replaced by Qin Rui soldiers.
"Wen He, tell Xin Qiji to come to Lingzhou City."
"promise!"
Not long after, Guo Jia and Chen Gong also came together. Ning Fan asked them to sit down and talk about the southwest border.
"My lord, rather than being passively beaten, it's better to take the initiative."
"Now that the war in the east is coming to an end, it is better to let the white robe army go south."
"White Robe Army..."
There was a trace of worry on Chen Gong's face, and he said softly: "Now we have 50,000 troops stationed in Huainan. If we recall the white robe army again, I am afraid it will cause criticism from the ministers."
Ning Fan also nodded and said with a smile: "There is no need for the white-robed army. The Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun has returned from the capital."
"Let them go hunting on the grasslands!"
Let Wei Wu soldiers guard the southwest border!
"Wei Wuzu!"
Both of them looked shocked. Is the military soldier of Wei, who was once famous all over the world and ranked among the seven kingdoms, about to join the world?
