Shangyong City Gate is like a monster's big mouth, constantly spitting out chariots one after another, arrayed in the city. As the sun rose, the military formation gradually took shape, and it was also divided into three divisions: left, center and right.
Today's Yongguo still retains the organization of each armor as one vehicle. The armor commander who was still beating the drum last night has now become the pawn commander of each vehicle, leading fifty armored soldiers to follow behind the chariot.
These soldiers were divided into ten groups, with three groups of spearmen in front, three groups of spearmen behind them, two groups of archers at the end, and two groups of shield soldiers on the left and right.
In the princes and countries, the people are the soldiers, and the soldiers are the people. Every household has a weapon, and all men, women and children can go into battle. In this recruitment, all the men between the ages of fifteen and forty were recruited, and even the healthy women went to the top of the city.
Qingyu was fully clothed, and he was surrounded by all the officials of the Yong Kingdom. They were all ready for battle. Only those who were capable of civil and military skills were qualified to be officials.
Wu Sheng accompanied Qingyu, also wearing armor. The armor he wore was from the palace. Qingyu specially found it and gave it to him. After thinking about it, he found that the defensive power of this armor was very good, and it was already in the middle grade. among the instruments. Putting on the short silk jacket he had previously obtained from Xinxitang in Tianshanxia, he would have double protection on the battlefield, so he could sit back and relax without any worries.
Coupled with the fact that he has physical training skills of copper skin and iron bones, even if a master of the God Refining Realm comes, he can withstand the first few blows.
After noon, 81 soldiers, more than 240 soldiers, and 4,000 regular soldiers were all ready and marched out of the city. There were dozens of disciples and thousands of elite guards on the city wall, including several Hundreds of shrews. Basically all Chinese people who can wield weapons have been mobilized.
In addition to the regular soldiers, a thousand people from nearby savage villages were also recruited to serve with the army.
At this point, Shangyong has passed the most dangerous moment, and the monarchs and ministers of Yong State are looking forward to the arrival of the Yu Army.
Qingyu boarded the chariot and became the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Yuan Sima boarded the chariot and became the general of the central army. Si Wei Yi Pu and Dian Ling Yongzang were also ordered to board the chariot, each serving as the general of the left and right armies.
On the top of the city, Guolao Yongzifu and Men Yinyongji were the town generals. They personally beat drums and sent the army to meet the enemy.
Wu Sheng also had a chariot, but it was not a chariot. As a valuable alchemist, he could not easily go to the battlefield. The chariot he rode was a large baggage cart, which contained many spiritual materials needed for alchemy.
In this chariot, there were also two alchemists, Mo You and Yue Zhong. At the invitation of Wu Sheng, they agreed to go out for the Yong Kingdom to treat the wounded during the war. This kind of thing often happened among the countries, but it was not uncommon. Nothing unusual. As for Yongguo's three alchemists, they were of insufficient skill, so they had to stay at the top of Shangyong City as preparations.
There were three other people escorting under the car, including Dong Da, Suo Laoliu, and Zhang Xiaokeng. As for Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang, and Uncle Yong, they were originally national soldiers. They were naturally incorporated into the army at this moment and became three drivers respectively. The charioteer on the chariot.
In addition, there are more than ten cavalry, who were selected from the corporals of the Qing Dafu sect and sent out to serve as sentinels and messengers. It can be seen that the corporals of the Yongguo sect are quite sufficient.
Towards evening, the army had marched thirty miles south, and finally saw a group of chariots in front, led by Situ Zhonggu.
Zhong Gu explained the situation to King Qingyu and ordinary soldiers. When they heard that Lord Yu had withdrawn and that Jiang would be sent back, they all cheered.
Soon, the sergeant rushed over and asked Wu Sheng to see the king. When Wu Sheng arrived, You Jiang was being supported by his maid to pay homage to Qingyu. There was no red hood to cover him at this time, and he looked very beautiful. Qingyu was very satisfied. He had not renewed his relationship with his wife after his death five years ago, because of this reason. Jiang's status and beauty are suitable for the country's lady.
Of course, they can't get married yet, they can only be sent to the palace to wait until the funeral of the late king is completed. The underground palace of Yonghou has been built a long time ago, but it cannot be buried yet. The emperor's funeral is held in July, the princes are in May, and the ministers are in March. They are usually shortened and moved closer to the next level to reduce costs, but three months is If you can't run away, it's already mid-February, and at least until the end of April, Qingyu can only look at it but not eat it.
The same lady of the country changed her marriage from Jiang Zong to Qingyu. The difference was huge. In the former, she could marry Qingyu at will and become a powerful person in a mediocre country who no one dared to mess with. But now she can As for her life, which was being squeezed by Qingyu, she had to be careful not to offend the officials. After all, the monarchs and ministers of the Yong Kingdom now hated her father to the point of itch.
After sending You Jiang away, all the doctors were discussing and arguing about what to do next.
The first issue in the dispute was the handling of Lu Fang. Lu Fang had made such a great contribution, so he should be praised. He was reinstated and asked to return to Shangyong. He could no longer be expelled. After all, the couple was dead, so expelling Lu Fang was not his original intention.
But Lu Fang did not come back with Zhong Gu, but continued on his journey, insisting on choosing a place to live in seclusion in Mangdang Mountain. He asked Zhong Gu to convey his intention, saying that he wanted to bury the pair in Mangdang Mountain and continue to fulfill his promise for the eldest son.
Many officials hope that the monarch will issue an edict to bring him back. Mangdang Mountain belongs to the miasma-infected land of Baiyue. It is really too miserable. He is not accustomed to living and is sparsely populated. This is not the courtesy to an important minister.
Wu Sheng is one of Qingyu's most trusted doctors, so of course he must listen to his opinion.
Wu Sheng thought for a moment and then said: "I believe that Lu Fang deserves to be praised for his meritorious service, but he is a person who keeps his promises and keeps his word. The emperor cannot force him to give orders. He must respect his will. I heard that Dayong once had an envoy from Shanling. ?”
Dian Ling Yongzang's eyes lit up: "Yes, before Dayong moved south, he set up a mountain envoy to guard the clan cemetery. He was among the middle-level officials, similar to the mausoleum of the Chu State..." After saying this, he said to Qingyu "I second the suggestion of Doctor Shen, please pay homage to the Lu Fangshan Mausoleum Envoy and build a cemetery on Mangdang Mountain to honor the eldest son's mausoleum!"
Si Wei Yi Pu's eyes also lit up, and he immediately said: "We should choose one of the best people in the country to move to Mangdang Mountain and accept Lu Fang's order to guard the eldest son's cemetery."
Qingyu asked: "Where should I choose to go?"
This is a rather troublesome issue. These are Chinese people. Moving them to Mangdang Mountain to guard the mausoleum can only be done on a voluntary basis and cannot be forced. Otherwise, it will definitely cause turmoil among the Chinese people.
Chinese people live well in the square, who is willing to move to Mangdang Mountain?
Not mentioning the relocation of the people for the time being, Wu Sheng continued to offer suggestions, that is, the issue of whether to withdraw the troops and return to the city. Lord Yu has already run away, so most of the officials believe that the troops should be withdrawn, but a few hard-liners such as Yuan Sima believe that they should pursue him and fight hard so that Yu will not dare to look westward for ten years.
After struggling for so long, the army was gathered together and then disbanded without doing anything. It was a waste of food and supplies, and it was also a blow to morale. If you were determined to catch up, let alone anything else, at least the food would only be prepared for three days. Whether the battle can be won within three days, no one except Yuan Sima dares to boast about this Haikou.
Wu Sheng's suggestion had nothing to do with whether to fight or not, but said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, let's build a road?"
