At the end of July of the 17th year of the lord's calendar, 100,000 troops gathered in Donglai County and were preparing to participate in the sixth national war.

Eight hundred boats, ships, fighting ships, tower ships, and blessed ships gathered in Huang County, with strong soldiers and strong horses.

At the same time, the elite legions such as the Iron Cavalry, the Beiwei Army, the Wei Wushou, the Beifu Army, and the Iron Ying Scout gathered together.

In order to compete for the two saint-level commanders, twenty king-level/emperor-level military generals, Chu Tian had to send out his main force and all out.

The Iron Cavalry Army absorbed Gao Changgong's Baibaoxianbei, Gao Shun's camp, Qin Qiong's Xuanjia Army, and Xu Chu's Tiger Guard Army, with strong troops.

Sun Ce commanded eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers to participate in the war. As a future relative and general, his status was equivalent to that of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing under Emperor Wu of Han.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also relied on their status as relatives, but unlike those with the corpse position, they established their authority through military merits.

Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is not a mediocre person either.

In this national war, among the 15 generals and strategists, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were two.

Zhou Yu's feather fan and Lun's scarf are strong and powerful. The two are outstanding and well-versed, and are representatives of the heroes of Jiangzuo, with a high spirit.

In Huang County, Li Xiuning protected Prince Chu Wu and some children and wandered around here.

While Zhuge Liang was an official in Langya Kingdom, he was ordered to accompany the future prince to study, so he was among the crowd.

Among the group, Sun Shangxiang was also there.

Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, and Sun Shangxiang all had a string of candied haws in their hands, but their younger sister Chu Qi was younger, so she could only look at her brothers and sisters pitifully, and she drooled.

"Brother Chu Wu, sometimes we come to practice martial arts."

Sun Shangxiang, Chu Wu and Chu Xuan were about the same age as each other, so they quickly became friends.

Chu Wu said, "I'm afraid of hurting you..."

Suddenly, Chu Wu saw Ma Yunlu following Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his group appearing in Huang County, so he walked towards Ma Yunlu.

"My force is higher than yours!"

When Sun Shangxiang waved his small fist and demonstrated to Chu Wu, he found that Chu Wu had left.

In front, a girl in green clothes stood tall and graceful.

Beside the girl in blue, there are several famous Western Liang generals - Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and the fledgling Ma Dai.

The Ma family in Xiliang is also rich in famous generals.

Chu Wu greeted the girl in green clothes, who treated Chu Wu very well.

For some reason, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, pointing to the girl in blue and said, "Who is that person?"

Chu Xuan said, "That's Sister Lu'er, Brother Chu Wu likes her."

"Hmph, I will never play with Brother Chu Wu again."

Seeing that Ma Yunlu was in her prime, she attracted Chu Wu's attention even more than her younger age, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but curl her lips.

Li Xiuning, who was responsible for protecting the prince and the princess, couldn't help but feel ashamed. These little guys are really a slut.

"You are welcome to the Crown Prince."

Ma Teng said to his sons and nephew Ma Dai.

He could not have thought that his daughter often went to the Xia Palace when she was a child, and she had a close relationship with Chu Wu. If this continues, his daughter Ma Yunlu might become the prince's concubine, and the Ma family in Xiliang could also take advantage of Ma Yunlu to take office.

Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai were already able to become an official at this time, and they saluted Chu Wu, who had a noble status.

Ma Dai was a little excited because he and Chu Wu were of the same senior general and might play in the East Palace in the future.

Ma Chao was much calmer and made many contributions. Even if he didn't have to flatter the prince, he could have a foothold.

Because Ma Yunlu was a little older, he was no longer as reckless as before, and he also saluted Chu Wu.

She saw Sun Shangxiang staring at her among the crowd, so she asked in confusion: "Who is this sister?"

Chu Wu replied: "She is the eldest lady of the Sun family."

"Jiangdong Sun Family?"

Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others were all surprised.

Because the Sun family in Jiangdong surrendered to the crowd, Sun Jian took charge of the 300,000 Jiangdong Army. Therefore, the Sun family in Jiangdong not only did not decline, but became more prosperous. Currently, the first family in Jiangzuo is the first.

"Sister Sun, what are your name?"

"snort……"

Sun Shangxiang refused to tell Ma Yunlu's name.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to have a simple conversation with Ma Teng.

If you want to serve as the Minister of the Interior, you will naturally be able to bring your relationship with other civil officials and military generals closer.

The Ma family in Xiliang is now also a big family. They made great contributions in the Han Empire's expedition and war of unification.

"I originally recommended Ma Chao to His Majesty, but His Majesty has someone to choose."

Ma Teng couldn't help feeling regretful when he talked with Zhuge Liang.

The Chutian forces commanded the clouds and the fierce generals were like rain. Ma Chao's Western Liang Iron Cavalry was not qualified to go to the sixth national war.

The main reason is that Chu Tian himself is equivalent to the Saint-level cavalry commander, and has an Iron Cavalry Army, which conflicts with Ma Chao. Therefore, Chu Tian is worse than bringing Ma Chao's role with him than other complementary generals.

Zhuge Liang probably understood Chu Tian’s thoughts, so he comforted Ma Teng: “Your Majesty should have his own ideas. General Ma Chao is extremely brave and guarding Xiliang. It just so happened that the Western Regions Protectorate’s Mansion was in turmoil recently. If something happened, General Ma Chao can go and help.”

“What is said is good.”

After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Ma Teng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Chu Tian was counting the troops going out to fight at this time.

Because the sixth national war involved two holy commanders, Chu Tian could not not compete for it.

Just in time, after the unification of the Han Empire, all kinds of people were in ruins, and millions of soldiers were killed and injured. The arsenal and granaries were empty. Chu Tian did not have the idea of ​​launching a large-scale conquest in a short period of time.

Chu Tian also heard about the fall of Dayuan Kingdom.

Since Dayuan Kingdom has been lost, the tree has been completed and Chutian is still calm.

The Western Regions Protectorate conquered Dayuan twice and lost it twice. In the end, it was because the Western Regions Protectorate conquered the population and the military strength were not strong enough.

If troops were sent to compete for the Dayuan Kingdom for the third time, it would lead to a war with Ogedei and the entire Central Asia would become ruins.

Before preparing enough food and grass for the expedition, Chu Tian had no intention of going to war with Ogedei in advance.

Fang Xuanling counted all the troops, food, grass, and weapons, and said to Chu Tian: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. The food and grass on the ship can be used for one month for a hundred thousand troops. After one month, if you cannot get the food and grass, once the food and grass are exhausted, your Majesty can return."

Chu Tian nodded.

Chu Tian is about to send troops, Xiao Chuo, Roufu Emperor, Huo Qing, Bei Mihu and others come to see him off. Huo Qing is finally pregnant, but Xiao Chuo shows no signs. Xiao Chuo is even more anxious. Chu Tian is leaving for half a year this time, which means she has no chance.

Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, Chu Qi, Sun Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, Ma Teng and others came to the dock and came to see him off.

"The Father will surely win."

Chu Wu already understood the truth a little, and acted appropriately under the guidance of Xun Yu, who paid attention to rules.

"Wu'er, you will follow all the teachers during this period to cultivate your body and cultivate your character, learn riding and shooting and firearms, and you must not slackewer."

Chu Tian had high hopes for his eldest son.

Chu Wu has the SSS-level feature "defeats and boats", which is a divine characteristic that can go against the will of heaven and change one's destiny at a critical moment, and defeat the strong with the weak, so Chu Tian looks forward to his eldest son growing up.

In addition to riding and shooting, Chu Tian wanted Chu Wu to know how powerful the firearm was, so he also asked Chu Wu to learn how to shoot the firearm.

Chu Tian noticed that Sun Shangxiang seemed to be unhappy again, so he asked Chu Wu: "Wu'er, have you bullied the eldest lady of the Sun family?"

Chu Wu looked innocent: "There is no child."

What a strange thing...

Chu Tian looked at Zhuge Liang again: "Kong Ming, there is a secluded Mr. Shuijing in Xiangyang. During this period, you go to Xiangyang to experience it. After the experience, you will return to Langya Kingdom and serve as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace."

Zhuge Liang was shocked: "Mr. Shuijing?"

"A person should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured. This person is familiar with Qimen Dunjia, which may be helpful to you. I have already said hello to him in advance."

"yes."

Zhuge Liang received a new task from Chu Tian, ​​which was to go to Xiangyang to practice.

Chu Tian can see Zhuge Liang's panel. One of Zhuge Liang's characteristics needs to be studied by Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui before it can be opened.

So this is also why Chu Tian asked Zhuge Liang to experience it. Zhuge Liang is not yet fully qualified now.

Chu Tian took care of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun brothers since childhood, and two daughters of the Zhuge family. In Zhuge Liang's mind, Chu Tian was equivalent to half of his adopted father.

Zhuge Liang's dependence on Chu Tian even exceeded his loyalty to Liu Bei in history.

Chu Tian said to Zhuge Liang that he had been cultivating since childhood and directly held a high vocational position in Langya Kingdom. He also greeted Mr. Shui Jing and asked Mr. Shui Jing to teach Zhuge Liang Qimen Dunjia.

This ensured that Zhuge Liang would do his best to assist Chu Wu in the future.

After Chu Tian arranged a task for Zhuge Liang, he prepared to lead an army of 100,000 to participate in the Sixth National War.

"Your Majesty, this is my nephew Ma Dai, who can serve your Majesty."
