Outside Chudu City, there is an endless stream of fast horses.
The war is going on, and the news is coming in a steady stream.
In the palace.
Outside the Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Daojun, surrounded by many people, walked towards the Yangxin Hall with a look of exhaustion on his face.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Cabinet ministers, six ministers, ministers and other important ministers lined up on both sides.
After they saw Emperor Daojun, they all lowered their heads slightly. After Emperor Daojun came and sat down on the throne, they bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"How is the situation?" Emperor Daojun asked with a dark face without any nonsense.
Chen Zhangyuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood up and replied with a low eyebrow: "Report to Your Majesty. Many places in Northern Zhili and Shandong were attacked by the Han army."
"The target of the Han army's attack is very clear. We may collapse at the first touch, or we may be defeated and lose the city."
"After the Han army invaded the city, they did not stay or kill the people. They only emptied the granaries and treasury. The losses were considerable."
Gathering less becomes more.
Leting's loss was nothing. When gathered in the imperial court, there are many.
Emperor Daojun's face became even more ugly. He couldn't help but stand up and roared: "A hundred thousand troops were guarding the coastal areas of Shandong and Zhili. They were actually killed by the Han army."
"What do the Ministry of War and the generals eat? Wine bags and rice bags? Do we want the Han army to go in and out seven times?"
This time it was a small meeting and no young officials came forward. Cabinet ministers, ministers, and ministers all looked down upon them.
He was scolded shamelessly and remained silent.
Emperor Daojun took a few deep breaths and said irritably: "Accountability. All civil servants and generals who escaped or were defeated will be held accountable."
"Let the Ministry of War strengthen defense."
"Also, I am very confused. Our emperor Chu also has a navy. Why can the Han army gallop on the sea? Why can't the navy of Huang Chu invade Liaodong and Goguryeo?"
When Emperor Daojun said this, his fists were clenched and veins appeared on his forehead, like a volcano about to erupt.
Special code.
Liaodong is a tiny place.
The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was a bitter and cold place.
Goguryeo was also miserable haha.
Just Fusang is a little richer.
The whole Han Dynasty is a small country, how can it be powerful in everything?
Our emperor Chu has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there is nothing we can do except defend the Great Wall.
Of course Emperor Daojun knew that he also had problems. But as an emperor, he never admits his problems.
The ministers below lowered their heads even lower when they heard this and said nothing.
Emperor Daojun was very angry, very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
That's all.
That's all.
According to the order of Emperor Daojun, the Ministry of War changed the defense layout and strengthened the defense. But for the powerful Han Navy.
For the powerful Imperial City Division intelligence network.
The Han army encountered trouble, but it was not a big problem.
The entire northern Zhili and Shandong coastal areas were continuously harassed by the Han Dynasty navy.
...........
Shanhaiguan.
The Han army has been attacking Shanhaiguan tepidly.
Tunnels were also dug.
Then he was discovered by Xiong Wuwo.
Both sides battled wits and courage.
It seems that the Han army is determined to attack Shanhaiguan.
Until this morning.
Xiong Wuwo got the news from the court.
Guancheng, in the main hall of the General's Mansion. Xiong Wuwo summoned his generals for discussion.
Xiong Wuwo looked ugly, shook his right leg irritably, and said: "I have always been surprised that although the Han army's attacks continued, they did not reach the point of being [violent]."
"It turns out that the plank road was built secretly to cross Chencang. Wu Nian sent the navy to attack Beizhili and Shandong. It seems that his purpose was to land from Shandong or Beizhili and bypass Shanhaiguan."
"Although there are more than 100,000 troops deployed, the coastline is too long. It is like a long snake formation. As long as Wu Nian breaks through at a fixed point, he can gain a foothold in Shandong or Beizhili."
"Just like he eliminated Fusang, eating away at it step by step. Everything is over."
"The general is right. Should we ask the imperial court to send some troops from the pass to the south and north to Zhili to help with defense?" Liu Bao took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
"No. Wu Nian now has an army of 200,000, stationed outside Shanhaiguan. If there are fewer of us, he may storm Shanhaiguan and attack the pass at any cost. Once the pass is broken, it will be over. This is most likely a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Beigong Boyu shook his head and said seriously.
"It won't work this way, and that won't work either. Are we just going to let Wu Nian do what he does?" Liu Bao said angrily and angrily.
"That's right. Just let him make his moves. Who told him to have strong soldiers and strong horses, and be flexible?" Linghu Yu sighed quietly.
Xiong Wuwo shook his legs faster, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
I really can’t accept it.
Navy, infantry, cavalry. None of the generals and soldiers under Wu Nian was incompetent. All round strong.
Defend! Defend! Defend! Defend! Defend!
It's like a leaky sieve. If you keep it for a long time, it will fail.
Xiong Wuwo was impatient and helpless. But he is only one person. He can manage Shanhaiguan, but he cannot command coastal defense.
He discussed with his generals.
Only negotiate one outcome.
fart!
Not only Xiong Wuwo, but also the entire Chu State could not guess. Wu Nian built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly.
The attacks in North Zhili and Shandong were just a false shot in the plank road construction.
The real trump cards are Zhejiang and South Zhili.
What threatens is the main artery of Chu State, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The Jiangnan granary of Chu State.
............
Outside Shanhaiguan.
Inside the Chinese army camp.
Each battalion of the Han army attacked in turn. Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng's imperial bodyguards did not participate in combat missions, but were recharging their strength and practicing from time to time.
As the new recruits and veterans get more comfortable with each other, their combat effectiveness increases instead of falling.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Nian sat on the main seat, and below him were the Hojo clan and his ministers.
Wu Nian put down the battle report in his hand after reading it, raised his head and said to everyone with a smile: "Admiral Li Tianbao has done a really good job."
"If you don't know, you won't know that he was originally a fisherman."
"A reckless hero."
As the saying goes, princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind. Wu Nian himself came from a grassroots background and fought bloody battles for more than 20 years to get where he is today.
He also discovered and promoted many grassroots generals.
No.
Eighty percent of the generals of Han were from grassroots backgrounds. Among them, Li Tianbao's experience is particularly unique.
This guy came to prominence when he led his fellow fishermen to help Feng Chong.
It was delivered to your door yourself. He also doesn’t understand the art of war and can’t train troops. Wu Nian found a retired military officer to help him support the situation. He was first promoted to Qianhu, and then promoted to Wanhu.
Now he is the admiral of the navy and is in charge of all naval households.
It's also a legend.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian showed a happy smile, then shook his head and said to the Hojo clan: "Send someone to tell Li Tianbao. Let him send troops to harass South Zhili and Zhejiang."
"If I can conquer Chudu and occupy Hebei, he will be the number one hero."
"Yes." Hojo Umasa clasped his fists and saluted with a loud voice.
