Chapter nine hundred and fortieth one year
The lord's life has been 15 years, and a year has passed since the fifth national war. The lord's world is still full of conflicts and smoke.
The emperors, kings and dukes either attack each other or accumulate strength.
Alexander the Great of Macedonia captured the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Ogedei stepped up his encroachment on the Indian Mughal Empire, Toree fought with Persia, Arab civilizations, Catherine's Tsarist Russian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Poland Kingdom, Roman Empire, Spain, France, England tried to establish colonies in Africa, United States attacked Mayan civilization...
The largest empire, the Han Empire, has entered a rare period of peace in the past year.
The Jixia Academy in Xiacheng set up a separate thatched cottage for the crown prince Chu Wu.
Those who are qualified to teach the prince are top talents in various fields.
"In ancient times, those who succeeded and lost had their own talents. Even if they were weak, they would be strong. If they were not the same person, even if they were strong, they would be weak... Cough cough, Your Highness?"
Xun Yu found that Chu Wu was a little distracted, so he reminded him.
Wang Zuo's talent, Xun Yu, became one of the teachers of the crown prince Chu Wu at this time.
In the world, how many people are qualified to let Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Sun Bin, Sang Hongyang, Wu Qi and others serve as teachers at the same time?
"Sir, I was wrong..."
Chu Wu lowered his head, but his eyes were placed on a small stone thrown in from the window.
Xun Yu looked at the direction of the shadow and speculated that the time was almost over: "Let's stop here today."
After all, Chu Wu was only nine years old. After Xun Yu announced his resignation, he ran out immediately.
Xun Yu shook his head.
But he wasn't worried.
If Chu Wu was just a good boy, Xun Yu would be even more worried.
In troubled times, it is useless to reason with others, you must speak with your fists.
From this perspective, perhaps an active eldest son is better.
Li Xiuning, who was responsible for protecting Chu Wu, regarded Chu Wu as his adopted son. When Chu Wu came out, he immediately followed him.
Chu Wu is the heir carefully cultivated by Chu Tian. If he is assassinated, it will be a heavy blow to Chu Tian's forces.
The Chutian power gathered civil officials and military generals from all dynasties and generations, and even civilizations. As the lord, he must be strong enough to suppress these people.
"Sister Lu'er!"
When Chu Wu saw the little stone thrown into the cottage, he knew that Ma Yunlu was nearby.
Sure enough, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in blue shirt leaned against the tree and waved to Chu Wu.
When Li Xiuning saw that Ma Yunlu was childhood sweetheart with Chu Wu, she relaxed. Ma Yunlu also studied at Jixia Academy and practiced martial arts with Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan and others.
"Sister Xiuning."
Ma Yunlu knew that Li Xiuning was Xia Tianliang's trusted guard and was currently protecting the prince's safety.
Li Xiuning said to Ma Yunlu: "Lu'er, it's better to go to the royal palace. The princess might want to see you."
The teleportation array of Xiacheng, Lu Fan, a disciple from Sun Jian's forces in Jiangdong, was ordered to secretly go to Xiacheng.
He needs to determine one thing - whether King Xia is still willing to keep his promise with Sun Jian.
King Xia once sent Lu Su to negotiate with Sun Jian, willing to ask the prince to marry the daughter of the Sun family as the prince's concubine.
But even if both sides make private promises, King Xia may not be able to keep the promises.
Especially when Sun Jian from the Eastern Wu heard that Prince Xia and Ma Yunlu of the Ma family in Xiliang were childhood sweethearts, he asked his disciple Lu Fan to come and find out whether the rumors were true.
Lu Fan found a carriage under the protection of the Tiger Guards, returning to the Xia Palace from the direction of Jixia Academy. A female general got off the carriage, and a young man and a girl got off the carriage at the same time.
"I actually used the Tiger Guard to protect him. I think that young man must be the prince of King Xia, and that person... is our eldest lady's competitor, the daughter of the Xiliang Ma family."
As one of the famous ministers of the Jiangdong forces, Lu Fan naturally had the ability to infer his identity based on the age and travel scale of the prince of Xia.
The eldest lady Lu Fan mentioned was naturally Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Jian and Mrs. Wu have four sons and one daughter. Sun Shangxiang is the only daughter born to the main wife, so she is deeply loved by her father and several brothers.
"It seems that there is no need to continue inquiring. The eldest lady of the Ma family entered the Xia Palace, and the Xia Palace might have recognized the eldest lady of the Ma family. The agreement between the Xia and the Lord of the Confession was mostly a delaying plan."
Lu Fan thought that seeing was true, so he went home and reported to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, overturned the coffee table in front of him and was very annoyed: "I believe in King Xia, so I am willing to marry the tiger girl to his son, but how can I bully me!"
Sun Jian loved his daughter very much. Now Chu Tian has signs of a marriage break, so he is very angry.
"Father, since King Xia looks down on our Sun family and uses the engagement to restrain us, we will attack Hefei City again to make King Xia regret it!"
Sun Ce was extremely angry when he heard Lu Fan's return.
On the one hand, Sun Shangxiang is a group favorite in the Sun family. On the other hand, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son feel like they are being deceived.
Because of a marriage contract, Hefei City did not make any major wars within two or three years.
However, now, based on what Lu Fan saw and heard in Xiacheng, the probability of King Xia repentance is very high.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce believed it was necessary to use force to remind Chu Tian that Chu Tian had violated the agreement with them.
"If we cannot become a royal relative, in the future, we will serve the King of Xia, and we will have only a few horses and dozens of slaves. Our Sun family in Wujun will definitely not have the current glory."
Sun Jian originally put the hope of the Sun family on his daughter. When he saw that the hope was slim, he had to consider other ways out.
Sun Ce said: "The King of Wu has generals such as Xie Xuan and Zhou Yu, and his father helped him to guard the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, which is enough to draw a river with King of Xia to rule."
Sun Jian sighed: "The King of Xia has been preparing for troops in the past year, and the King of Wu is the same. The King of Wu even asked me to set up six legions and recruit 300,000 troops. However, the King of Xia's iron cavalry went south and would hunt in Jiangdong, without any stopping."
Sun Ce's eyes were firm: "If King Xia really humiliated our Sun family on purpose, then the child would be willing to fight to the death, would not be insulted, and would not be willing to sacrifice Xiangxiang to beg for everything."
"Prepare for war."
Sun Jian also knew that holding military power would allow him to have room for negotiation in the future.
Now Chu Tian can break the contract at will, but the Sun family dares to be angry but dares not speak out. The reason is that Chu Tian is powerful, but the Sun family has no say.
In the Yangtze River Basin, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng and Gan Ning's navy were crisscrossing, as if they were entering a land of no one.
The Wu army controlled the entire Yangtze River Basin, and the Xia army had no ships to operate in the Yangtze River Basin.
Lu Meng, a white-clothed man, looked at the vast river: "Since King pacified Liaodong and Xiqiang, there has been no movement for a year."
Zhou Yu shook his head gently: "The Xia army has not moved, but it makes people even more uneasy. The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building."
"Although King Xia is accumulating strength, the lord is also working hard to build ships and build crossbow arrows this year, and he may not lose to King Xia. The Northern Army is good at cavalry, while the Southern Army is good at naval forces. No matter how fierce the King Xia's cavalry is, as long as he cannot cross the Yangtze River, it will be difficult to defeat us. With Gongjin's fire attack ability, once the enemy's ship is approached by the fire ship, the losses will be unimaginable."
Lu Meng had seen Zhou Yu's terrible ability.
Every general has more or less his own abilities.
Among the navy commanders of the Han Empire, Zheng He was the master of navigation, and Zhou Yu was the god of fire.
Lu Meng had seen Zhou Yu's terrible fire attack.
When the Wu army fought with the Song army, Zhou Yu's fire attack completely ruined the Song army's Zhou army, so the Wu army could defeat the Song army and force the Song army to surrender.
Lu Meng believed that as long as Zhou Yu guarded the Yangtze River, the Xia army would not be able to cross the river.
Even if the Xia army had unparalleled cavalry in the world, it would be useless during water wars.
Moreover, after more than ten years of accumulation, the Jiangdong Army has obtained a large number of military generals.
Not only Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi, Sun Jian and others are also good at commanding the navy. They cooperate with Zhou Yu, which is comparable to the Great Wall built on the Yangtze River.
Jianye City, Tongque Order Xie Xuan and others trained their troops, expanded their troops in large quantities, and absorbed a large number of young and strong Shanyue tribes.
For a whole year, the northern army did not move at all.
If you are not familiar with Chu Tian’s style, you still think Chu Tian loves peace.
However, the less Chu Tian was, the more irritable the Tongque became, because Chu Tian was constantly accumulating military power.
Once the military force accumulates to a certain extent, the offensive launched by Chu Tian will be quite fierce.
"I have built a solid line of defense. If I want to unify the Han Empire, I will pass this level first."
The bronze bird patrols the soldiers and horses under practice.
The generals recruited by Tongque who participated in national wars and activities many times actually rarely appeared in the sight of the northern princes. Only Yang Shiro, the King of Song who fought with Tongque, knew about the various generals of Tongque.
A young general was also forced to join the battle and participate in the training of troops.
The Tongque almost drained the talent potential of the entire Jiangdong and captured all the wild generals who wandered in Jiangdong.
Because Tongque knew that if he didn't do this, he would not be Chu Tian's opponent at all.
At this time, Lu Xun had just become an official, and Tongque immediately let Lu Xun, who was only sixteen years old, serve as the commander, trained Jiangdong troops and promoted the level of various Jiangdong legions as soon as possible.
"Lu Su is in Chu Zimou, the four commanders of the Eastern Wu. I have the third one. Maybe I can stop Chu Zimou from drinking horses and Yangtze River."
