Such a proclamation was not only announced within the Xia Kingdom, but also discovered by the princely states.
Shang Guo, who was almost turned into a vegetative state, woke up with a smile.
However, it was a joke. The Seven Kingdoms also knew that there was no room for change in this matter, so they could only recruit as many troops as possible and speed up the process.
Originally, 100,000 people were recruited at the beginning of winter last year, but they just wanted to reduce food consumption.
Therefore, in early spring, a large number of soldiers were recruited, and together with the grain and grass purchased from outside, it was enough for a few months.
Xia Kingdom, Chaoxian, Royal Palace.
King Xia Wen held the memorandum with a very wonderful expression on his face. Didn't he agree to rebel? How could he write such a memorandum?
This is not an embarrassment to myself, but an embarrassment to Xia Guo. You don’t even know how to rebel. Do you want me to teach you?
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if this happens, half of the country will turn against you."
King Xia Wen looked around at the ministers and saw that their expressions ranged from worried, indifferent, and even indifferent.
Especially the fake expressions of panic on the faces of his eldest son, the prime minister, and some powerful people, they look fake no matter how you look at them.
"Wang Jian, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will lead 50,000 infantry to the important pass areas along the east side, especially Wei County, Yanmen County, Changshan County, Taiyuan County and other important places."
King Xia Wen frowned and asked urgently, "Can you resist? There is news that King Dong, an old man, started recruiting troops before winter, and he started recruiting troops again at this time."
"With the combined efforts of the seven countries, we will probably have a lot of troops."
Wang Jian pointed at the map and said, "The passes leading to the four counties are all built with strong walls. The passes are guarded by tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The garrison generals have been fully prepared."
"The troops at Guan Pass are all from the Central Army. They are the elite divisions in the world. Not only are the troops at Guan Pass well supplied with food and grass, but they have recently been supplemented by supplies of food and grass, war horses, chariots and ordnance allocated by the King. Although their numbers are small, they are enough to sustain a stalemate for a period of time."
Although King Xia Wen had made many preparations, he could not be careless in the war.
"Zhou Qi."
"I'm here~!"
"You are the Grand Lieutenant in charge of the country's troops. You need to communicate with Wang Jian in a timely manner. If Wang Jian needs any supplies, you don't have to report them. You will approve them directly."
"I obey~!" Zhou Qi's eyes flashed and he immediately agreed.
After Wang Jian handed over his hand, he hurriedly walked outside with a dozen generals.
A large amount of supplies were continuously sent from Chaoxian to the border, and King Xia Wen also breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Seven Kingdoms suddenly rebelled, so they only had about a hundred thousand soldiers in their hands. Almost all of Xia's troops were guarding the borders. Even if they were prepared months in advance, they would still be very limited.
For example, the border of Liao State and Monk State, the troops sent to Taihuang County, and the troops stationed throughout the country. If Yang Gan's army is included, there are a million soldiers.
However, millions of troops cannot be sent out at will. Some of them must be mobilized to cooperate with the central army without affecting the border defense in order to withstand the rebellion of the seven countries.
A large map was drawn up in the Xiangchen Palace, and all the princes and ministers were analyzing the battle situation.
When a war begins, the generals usually fight outside, and the king only needs to do three things.
First, appease good people and stabilize the court.
Second, provide logistical support so that the troops outside have no worries.
Third, that is to do everything possible to control the generals, and absolutely not allow one or a few generals to become big in the army.
Hearing that the battle was going on in an orderly manner, Master Jie's face showed a trace of uneasiness. After looking at Li Chi, Li Chi closed his eyes and nodded, signaling him to calm down.
When war comes, almost all officials who can help will have little time to rest, but there will definitely be time to eat and use the toilet.
After Ji Jie and Prime Minister Li came outside the hall, they walked to a secluded corner tacitly.
"Prime Minister, Wang Jian is brave and resourceful. The plans of the county and the country may not be useful."
ah. "
Old Master Li Chi smiled sincerely, "Young master, don't worry. We have united so many forces. As long as the country's foundation is shaken, master, if you continue to fish in troubled waters, we have already negotiated with other companies. As long as you sit on the position of king, they will Don’t be greedy, just let more of their clan members serve as officials.”
Ji Jie nodded and couldn't help but laugh, "They all think they are taking advantage, but they don't know that I am the one who will lose the most."
After saying that, he raised his hand to Li Chi and thanked, "It's a shame that the Prime Minister is among the various forces and helped me mediate, otherwise this situation would never have happened."
Li Chi hurriedly returned the gift, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
Inside the convoy.
Yang Gan was lying in the oversized carriage, and Qin Xiangru kept feeding him snacks.
"Xiangru, don't give me reindeer milk again."
Yang Qian pushed the reindeer milk away in disgust. It was thick and mushy, and the smell was too strong, even worse than goat milk.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding~~!" The phone placed in the carriage rang.
Yang Qian happened to be nearby and picked up the phone, "What are you doing!"
"Mr. Cao?"
"I'm Yang Qian."
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" Apparently the caller didn't expect Mr. Wu An to answer the phone in person, and he suddenly became excited.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Do you have any important news?"
Yang Qian has almost become a habit of winning people's hearts and showing kindness and power at the same time, and he will do it whenever he has the opportunity.
Buy people's hearts so that your subordinates or one or two minions will not cause trouble for you.
The combination of kindness and power can help some people who are too arrogant or too aggrieved to feel more balanced and help eliminate internal conflicts.
The headquarters of Tianshou Division told Yang Qian all the information. Although it may not be comprehensive, with the current technology, Yang Qian's ability to receive information is as good as that of a god.
Yang Qian was silent for a while and said, "Copy that. Goodbye."
After Yang Gan hung up the phone, he immediately called again, "Hello, Lao Tian, this is Yang Gan."
"Well, the mice are also moving. Get ready."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After a few phone calls, everything was already arranged.
"How long does it take to reach Baiyun Pass?"
After Xiao Yu opened the window and asked, he said, "It's still less than a thousand miles away, and it will take seven days at the earliest."
Yang Qian closed his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Listen, everyone, after arriving at Baiyun Pass, our troops will be divided into two groups, one going to Zhuangzi, and the other going directly to Dongguo Border Pass."
Xiao Yu asked, "Sir, do you need any equipment in Zhuangzi? If there is any, call now and ask them to transport it in advance."
Before Yang Qian spoke, Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "I have a new formula that is guaranteed to make them happy."
Yang Gan said excitedly, "You took out the explosives?"
Zhang Yumeng smacked his lips, with a look of disdain on his face, "Explosives? That's a simple thing. It's useless when invented. Didn't I tell you, black fire powder is easy to mold and difficult to store."
"Unless we have particle technology, we might as well get something more stable in the future. What I'm talking about is not explosives, but Molotov cocktails."
"Molotov cocktail? I made that." Yang Gan immediately pointed to his nose and said.
Zhang Yumeng rolled her eyes at him, "Nonsense, I know, you don't need to stress, haven't you ever thought of adding resin and sulfur to the purest alcohol?"
"What kind of magical operation are you doing?" Yang Qian was a little confused.
Yang Qian had only heard of sulfur twice in his life. Once he saw it in a documentary, and the other time he bought a soap called sulfur soap.
Zhang Yumeng said seriously, "I've seen the power of the incendiary bomb this time, and it's pretty good, but the adsorption power is a bit poor. If resin is used, as long as someone is contaminated, he won't be able to hide, and the flames will stick to him. "
"As for sulfur, just add a little bit to each bottle, Lord.
The main function is to produce a large amount of smoke when burning. If you don't burn them to death, you can also smoke them to death. "
Yang Qian looked at Zhang Yumeng in horror, his expression was extremely anxious.
"Do you know what this Molotov cocktail reminds me of?"
"What?" Zhang Yumeng asked confused.
Yang Gan took a deep breath and said, "White phosphorus bomb is one of the most cruel weapons in the world. Let's not talk about whether it will kill you. As long as it is contaminated, it will be quite painful before death."
"Oh, I don't know about other weapons, and I haven't studied white phosphorus bombs, but I know about white phosphorus. Once this thing sticks to a human body, it can burn the human body alive. It's so cruel."
The two people chatted passionately instantly.
The girls looked at it and smiled. Once these two live treasures talked about something they were interested in, they seemed to have endless things to say.
At this time Nina came in from outside, struggling to hold a purple-gold gourd.
"Here you go, take the number~~!" Nina spoke loosely in Zhongyuan dialect and walked in with an attentive look on her face.
Yang Gan frowned and said displeasedly, "Who asked you to bottle this wine?"
When Nina heard this, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees and crawled in front of Yang Gan.
He gently picked up Yang Qian's feet and touched his feet with his forehead. His posture was uniquely low.
"Take a sip yourself." Yang Gan said.
Nina didn't know why, so Yang Gan said it again in the common language of the grasslands.
Nina didn't hesitate at all, and took a sip. Unfortunately, she had never drunk such medicinal wine before, and she was choked and coughed continuously.
After the cough healed, he was afraid of disturbing Yang Qian, so he lay on the mat and didn't dare to move.
Zhang Yumeng curled her lips, "When did you get sick?"
"When did I get sick?"
Zhang Yumeng pointed at Nina, "Why don't I kill her with one blow? It would be fun to do this every day. I don't like stepping on other people's dignity."
Yang Gan shrugged and said, "If I remember correctly, I told you that it's good to be a dog. What kind of trouble can a woman from the Ding Ling tribe make?"
"It's better to be cautious. You won't make a big mistake. I'm panicking now. It's safest to go back to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. And I can tell you, watch more TV series when you have time. The villains usually die like you."
Yang Gan smiled. He could be said to have some understanding of human nature, but human nature is as deep as the sea. How can it be completely controlled? But don't forget, it can be cultivated later.
