Chen Deng, who had been silent all the time, said with an expressionless face: "Everyone knows that the battle of Qin Gexue Wolf Castle turned the tide of the war in Youji. Why is Brother Xuande so pessimistic?"
Liu Bei stood up and said: "Although Qin Ge is brave, he is just an ordinary man. The battle of Snow Wolf Fort was purely a fluke, and the defeat of Goryeo at Snow Wolf Fort was also due to the favorable geographical situation. However, Qin Ge was short-sighted and did not see the situation clearly. Now Inciting the soldiers and civilians of Youji to fight the Goryeo army in Jizhou, by which time all our elite men will be dead and wounded, this is the worst move!" Everyone in Xuzhou nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Chen Deng frowned and said, "Does Brother Xuande have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Bei smiled calmly and said: "Our Han Dynasty has a vast territory and strong cities, and the strategic depth is extremely broad. If we fight with the Goryeo Hulu, we can rely on the city and snipe at each other. In the end, the Goryeo troops will be exhausted and we can defeat them in one battle!" Upon hearing this, all the Xuzhou nobles applauded.
Chen Deng remained silent. If Liu Bei's strategic plan was used to release these demons into the Central Plains, corpses would be scattered all over the land. The young face appeared in Chen Deng's mind again.
A nobleman asked, "What do you think, Brother Xuande's chances of winning, when the imperial court recruits 100,000 elite Danyang soldiers?"
Liu Bei sighed: "I have lived in Youji for a long time. The terrain in Youji is flat and suitable for cavalry warfare. Although the Danyang soldiers are the best in the world, they are good at mountain warfare. If they go to the battlefield in Youji, I'm afraid..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The Danyang elite soldiers were an elite force built by the Xuzhou nobles with all their efforts. They were the foundation of their foothold in Xuzhou. Now that they heard about the situation on the battlefield, everyone began to look embarrassed, and many people began to persuade Tao Qian to refuse. send troops.
Tao Qian shook his head and sighed: "You don't know something! Along with the military order, there was not only an imperial edict, but also secret letters from the generals He Jin, Zhang Rang, Yuan Gui, and Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty. They asked the states to do their best to assist You. In order to resist the enemy, the four major factions in the court have all issued ultimatums. If we disobey, we will be annihilated in an instant!"
Everyone took a breath when they heard this. The four forces of relatives, eunuchs, clans and nobles had always been incompatible with each other, but they didn't expect that they were so united now.
Tao Qian finally turned his attention to Liu Bei and said: "Xuan De is good at fighting..."
Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists and said, "Kong Beihai sent me an urgent report three days ago. The bandits in Liangshan, Beihai County were in trouble. I'm afraid..."
At this time, Chen Deng left the table and stood up and said: "Tai Shigong once said that everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai! It may be lighter than a feather! Now that the country is in trouble, I am willing to answer the call and lead the troops to the battlefield of Youji!"
Everyone was shocked when Chen Deng said this, because Chen Deng was born in a noble family and had always been gentle and elegant. He liked to be arrogant and arty in his daily life. He initially showed his boldness during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, leading his troops to fight against the Yellow Turban troops and pacifying the Xuzhou Massacre. Some of the Yellow Turbans rebelled and became famous for a while.
However, Chen Deng, who had always been gentle and taciturn, turned out to be so aggressive. Everyone focused their attention on Chen Gui, whom Tao Qian had attacked. As the most important scholar in Xuzhou and the leader of an aristocratic family, Tao Qian also gave in to Chen Gui. Tao Qian turned his attention to Chen Deng. Chen Gui.
Chen Gui had no expression on his face and glanced at his son lightly. Although he remained calm, something strange flashed through his heart. His son seemed to have changed since the last time Chen Deng followed Tao Qian to Qingzhou to quell the chaos. Now he saw Chen Deng. Chen Gui couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Chen Gui stood up and spoke sternly: "The Goryeo barbarians are worse than animals. The crimes committed in Youzhou are outraged by both humans and gods. Since my son has such great ambitions, I will definitely support him with all his strength. Everyone! My heroic spirit in Xuzhou is no less than that of other states and counties in the world! And! It's a shame. Once those bloodthirsty beasts are allowed to kill at the gates of Xuzhou City, it will be too late. Come and march for my son!" Chen Gui spoke, and everyone present raised their glasses. After all, Chen Deng led his army to the north, and they didn't have to Go and die.
Seeing the entire Xuzhou nobles toasting together, Liu Bei suddenly raised his glass in embarrassment and took a deep look at Chen Deng. Even now, he still can't see through this man who is like a mist.
…
Outside the gate of the Northern Expedition, Qin Jiwu was carrying a blood shield, looking solemn like a sculpture. The 100,000 free soldiers he led lined up neatly and solemnly, while Mao Jie, who was dressed in simple cloth, and Han Hao, who was holding a halberd, were listed on the left and right.
Xu Shu, Tian Feng, and Liao Hua led the crowd out of the gate. Liao Hua pointed at Qin Jiwu and said: "This is the lord's clan brother, Qin Jiwu! Zi Xian! He is the lord's most valued confidant in the Qin clan! He once Ten times the number of yellow scarf bandits blocked the mountain pass for several months, making it difficult for them to move forward. Zixian's shield was the strongest barrier in the world! And the scholar-like gentleman was called Mao Jie, with the courtesy name Xiaoxian, and Mr. Manchong was the lord. One of the two great assistants, Mr. Man is proficient in government administration, while Mr. Mao Jie is good at appointing talents and is in charge of personnel in the Free Territory! Of course, if it is wartime, Mr. Mao is in charge of the logistics of our Free Army, and the lord can be said to be the leader of our Free Army. All the elites have been mobilized here!"
When Liao Hua saw his old friend from Taishan County, he couldn't hide his joy and said: "Zixian! Mr. Xiaoxian! Haha!" After speaking, he walked forward quickly.
Qin Ge came with the expeditionary force that day with the ambition to die. Now that they saw the voice of their old friend, Mao Jie and Qin Jiwu were also filled with emotions. The three of them gathered together and started to chat.
Mao Jie also noticed Xu Shu and Tian Feng early in the morning. His eyes suddenly lit up and he recognized Xu Shu and said: "That day we discussed Taoism, but this gentleman!" Liao Hua quickly introduced everyone to each other.
Except for Mao Jie, Qin Jiwu and Han Hao, basically all the descendants of the Qin clan came. Except for Qin Jizhong who followed Qin Jizong and had already joined the expeditionary force, this time the four direct descendants of Qin Jixiao, Qin Jilian, Qin Jishao and Qin Jiyong They also came with the army, and the youngest among them, Qin Jiyong, was only eleven years old!
Not only the martial arts disciples of the Qin family came, but also a large number of literary disciples such as Qin Jili and Qin Jiwen. Almost all the elites of the Qin family were dispatched.
Xu Shu looked at the young faces. Some of them still looked like children, but their eyes were shining brightly and they had a different kind of temperament, yes! This unique temperament is in the same vein as Qin Ge.
"Ah Wu!" Qin Jizong, Qin Jiben and other members of the Qin clan walked out of the camp gate. Qin Jiwu saw his two brothers and uncles, as well as his compatriot brother Qin Jizhong, and his rock-like face finally moved.
At this time, all the brothers had more or less scars on their faces, especially the horrific scar on Qin Jizong's face, which vividly demonstrated the brutality of the expedition. On that day, Qin Ge brought Qin Jizong and others to the expedition. , with the determination to die, they went to the front line, leaving themselves to continue the clan's incense. This made Qin Jiwu feel extremely complicated. Now that he saw the brothers, some of them had not shown up, they must have sacrificed their lives for the country. Qin Jiwu's eyes were a little agitated. moist.
Qin Jiwu couldn't hide his excitement. The three brothers hugged each other. Qin Jiwu patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "You two have changed so much that I almost can't recognize you! Especially Abi! You kid has actually reached this level." Reaching the top of the first-class realm is simply unbelievable!" The brothers began to greet each other.
Tian Feng saw this scene and said with emotion: "The nobles in Jizhou are afraid of the Goryeo barbarians. Many wealthy families even moved their families south. The lord actually recruited the people to fight against the enemy! The Qin family is really a heroic family!"
"Mr. Yuan Hao is right! Almost half of the backbone children of the Qin family are here! It can be said that they have devoted all their strength to fight against foreign humiliation! My lord has said it! If the barbarians are not destroyed, why do we have a home? He wants the world to see him Determination to fight against the Goryeo Hulu!" Mao Jie nodded in agreement after hearing this.
After hearing this, Xun Chen sighed and said, "My lord, this move will definitely make those Jizhou nobles feel at ease!"
While everyone was chatting, Qin Ge also rushed over under the protection of Dian Wei. Seeing Qin Ge, whoever it was, Dongyue soldiers knelt down and raised their troops and shouted: "Qin!" The shouts were loud for a while, And just when the Dongyue soldiers started shouting, they were enveloped in golden light, and they were all transformed into the National Defense Army!
The soldiers felt that their whole bodies were filled with heat, and their strength was greatly enhanced, so their shouts became even stronger.
Qin Ge was filled with emotion when he saw this. Tian Feng saw this scene and said to Xu Shu: "It seems that the people in Taishan County respect their lord as a god!"
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Although the overall strength of these Dongyue soldiers is not strong, and they are generally bronze-grade soldiers, their military discipline is strict and their fighting spirit is high. Now they have all been transformed into the national defense army, and their combat power will reach silver-grade soldiers, and they can be directly organized." Join the expeditionary force and join the battle!"
Qin Ge pulled up Mao Jie and Qin Jiwu who were kneeling on the ground, and asked all the soldiers to stand up. At this time, Qin Jiwu was nearly two meters tall, like an iron tower. Qin Ge forcefully patted Qin Jiwu's arm and said with a smile, "You've grown stronger again!" Qin Jizong and others laughed after hearing this.
Qin Jiwu's eyes were already red, and he knelt on the ground and choked with sobs: "Brother! I... am so useless..." Only in front of Qin Ge did this rock-hard man show the softest side of his heart.
How could Qin Ge not know what Qin Jiwu was thinking? He helped Qin Jiwu up from the ground and said, "Ah Wu! I entrusted my clan to you, and only you can afford it. I have always thought so! In my eyes, you As well as my uncles, younger brothers and sisters, they are all my pride. This time, let the reputation of my Qin family be resounding throughout the world again!" Qin Jizong and others raised their arms and shouted loudly after hearing this.
Qin Ge turned back to Tian Feng and said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, from now on, Xiaoxian will be responsible for all the logistics and dispatching of the military camp, and you, as a full-time military advisor, will assist Yuan Zhi in dispatching all military affairs. All the Dongyue soldiers will be integrated into the expeditionary force." Yuan Zhi will lead the unified army, and the army of evolvers that is being formed is still led by the old uncle. As the deputy commander, Awu, you will assist the old uncle in training the evolvers. We must form an army as soon as possible to form a fighting force! As for now! Start cooking! I want to cleanse the dust for all my brothers!"
The generals clasped their fists and accepted the order. Qin Jiwu led the Dongyue troops to the expeditionary army camp. All the conditions for Qin Ge to rebuild the expeditionary army were met.
Qin Ge was in a good mood and was leading Qin Jiwu and others to the Chinese army's tent. Just as he reached the camp gate, there was a noise from the recruiting office not far away. Qin Ge became interested and walked straight over.
