The Child Emperor

Liaodong, in a city farthest from the frontier fortress, General Fang Daye was ready to attack Fuyu Kingdom, which was a year later than he originally expected. There was no way that Da Chu's main energy at that time could not be used to retaliate against a small country. , but to pacify the troubles of Yunmengze and the East China Sea. The main responsibility of the army outside the Great Wall is to guard against the north, and Liaodong cannot get enough troops and horses.

Fang Daye waited patiently, repaired the city as much as possible, recruited refugees to reclaim wasteland, and at the same time, sent scouts from far away, and even went out in person to survey the terrain and capture prisoners hundreds of miles away.

Ten days ago, he finally got a soldier, the number was not large, and the original garrison in Liaodong was only 8,000 people.

Fang Daye felt that it was enough. He got accurate information. The country in Fuyu was already in chaos, divided into several factions and fighting endlessly.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses were enough to defeat each of the factions of the Fuyu Kingdom.

There is another reason why Fang Daye is eager to attack. He is too old. He has been a prisoner and a general for many years. He is about to run out of physical strength. The emperor called him back to Beijing at least ten times. Fang Daye refused for various reasons. He was afraid of leaving. With this last breath, I can no longer return to Liaodong.

When I was young, I always thought about how to save my life on the battlefield. I moved back to the court to receive a reward, and I was in front of my family for a while. I stayed outside for a long time, but I couldn't tell where my home was. Quiet, I rarely sent a few words of emotion today.

The school captain Ma Da came from a fishing village in the south of Jing, and joined the Su Wei army after following the marquis at that time. He drank many times to make trouble, and was sent to the frontier.

Ma Da has a stubborn donkey temperament, but he respects Fang Daye very much. As a school captain, he served as a soldier for the old general. At this time, he blinked his eyes and said, The place where you have a wife and children is home, right? I don't have a wife. Children, so I don't have a home, and General Fang must have one.

Well, I almost can't remember what they looked like. Fang Daye stood up, tall, but bloated. After putting on a full set of armor, he immediately became majestic, but his stomach was hard to go down, still bulging.

Walk.

Fang Daye led the way, and Ma Da followed behind with two bows, one crossbow, and three pots of arrows.

The troops and horses have been assembled, Fang Daye only left 500 people to defend the city, and all the other soldiers followed him to attack Fuyu.

The country of Fuyu is backed by a vast forest, which is even more difficult to travel than the sea. Fang Daye made a detailed plan earlier. Instead of approaching the capital, he slanted into the country and marched in a hurry for more than ten days. The main road of the forest, followed by a bluff, there are less than 8,000 people, but there are tens of thousands of people in the barracks.

Everything was as he expected, the Chu army was still on the way, and the Fuyu Kingdom had already split.

Fang Daye on the battlefield was different from the usual old generals. He went into battle in person, and the arrows were not missed. Ma Da alone was too late to supply the arrows, so he had to arrange another person.

Fighting with such a general, everyone fought hard, but it was bad news for the enemy.

The Fuyu Kingdom was completely defeated, and when the Chu army was still dozens of miles away from the capital, the king chose to surrender.

Ever since the failure of following the Huns to attack Da Chu, the Fuyu Kingdom has been asking for surrender, but every time Da Chu has refused to offer many conditions.

This time it was a real unconditional surrender, and the counterattack could not be achieved. The expected Huns had no sign of reinforcements. The common people could hide in the forest on the path. The king had too many wives, concubines and treasures, so he could only sit and wait for the army to approach the city.

Fang Daye detained the envoy for surrender, led his army all the way to the bottom of the city, showed the begging letter to the defenders, and ordered them to open the city gate immediately.

The Fuyu Kingdom was already in chaos, and the order was not smooth. As soon as the gatekeeper saw the letter of supplication and the messenger, he immediately ordered the door to open.

The Chu army entered the city and surrounded the palace.

King Fuyu led all his clansmen out of the palace to kneel down and presented dozens of main warriors, claiming that he was bewitched by them and became a vassal of the Huns.

War is war, Fang Daye immediately beheaded the main battlers, dispatched military officials, and recounted the ungrateful betrayals of King Fuyu in the local language, and finally, in the name of the Emperor of Chu, announced the abolition of the old king, and the nobles elected a new king.

Fang Daye is ambitious. He not only wants to defeat the Fuyu Kingdom, but also makes this small country in Liaodong collapse, and it is no longer a hidden danger of the Great Chu.

After the election of the new king, he made a request to move the capital of Fuyu to the west, and dispatched manpower to build several new cities a hundred miles away from the new capital and hand them over to the Chu army. In this way, the new Fuyu king would be protected by the Chu army. It also facilitates business exchanges between the two sides.

Fang Daye even chose the location.

Fang Daye went to war in late spring, and the foundation of Zhucheng was laid in midsummer. He arranged everything, wrote a private letter to the emperor, and ran out of oil before autumn.

Ma Da cried bitterly in front of the old general's bed, even more sad than the death of a close relative, The general and I both have the word 'big' in their names, the general's son is far away in the capital, and I will be your son and filial piety to you.

Ma Da helped the coffin, sent the old general's bones back to his hometown, buried them in the ancestral tomb, and handed the letter to the emperor himself.

In Mayi City, the Northern Army chief Chaiyue heard the news of Fang Daye's death and ordered the entire army to mourn.

Chai Yue did not participate in the battle of Fuyu Kingdom, and kept staring at the trend in the north. If the Huns planned to support Fuyu Kingdom, he would lead the army to intercept them.

There was nothing unusual about the Huns, and Chai Yue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he only had 50,000 soldiers under his command. Once the war began, the supply of food and grass could only last for a month, which was really not a good time to start a war.

Above the East China Sea, the weather is calm, and the soldiers on board are not interested in the Liaodong war. They have their own generals and their own battles.

Since last year, Huang Pugong has spent more than half of his time at sea, winning every battle. Pirates are rarely seen within a hundred miles of the coast.

The number of naval warships increased to more than 50, which were larger and more stable. Several of them could withstand strong winds and waves, and Huang Pugong often used them to surprise islands.

After leaving the sea for more than ten years, Huang Pugong still knows the entire sea area, and knows which islands are suitable for Tibetans and which islands are sure to store wealth.

The island he is going to attack today is far from the coast, but the location is very important. After capturing it, an important stronghold can be built. From now on, the Great Chu Navy will no longer have to stay on land to wait for the pirates to attack.

The pirates at sea also understood the importance of this island, and a dozen groups gathered here to fight the Chu army decisively.

The battle began in the early morning, when the pirate side had more ships, and the Chu army's ships were larger and more sophisticated.

Huang Pugong and Fang Daye are a bit similar. They both like to lead the troops and do not want to take command from the rear. He personally led a large ship and rampaged among the pirates, clearing the way for other Chu army warships.

The pirates wanted to jump onto the opponent's boat and fight in close quarters, but Huang Pugong tried to avoid this.

All that's left is bumping, bumping and bumping.

The battle lasted a whole day, and before nightfall, the pirates suffered heavy losses, and only a few small boats fled in a hurry.

Huang Pugong took advantage of the victory to land on the island and wanted to set up camp on the island.

It was here that the Chu army was ambushed.

The pirates were obviously well prepared, and the number of people gathered here far exceeded Chu military's previous estimates. The naval battle was just to lure the enemy into the depths, and the decisive battle had to be fought on the island.

The pirates knew the number, configuration, and tactics of the Chu army. Huang Pugong quickly realized that he had been betrayed and someone wanted to put him to death.

Half a month later, the emperor on the patrolling road got news that Huang Pugong, the general of the building ship, led his army to sea, but he did not return after the deadline, and he did not send someone to deliver the letter according to the rules.

In the far west, Kunlun Mountain Pass, a city has begun to take shape. This is due to Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan. He participated in the planning and construction throughout the process. He is better than being a general. High hopes, thinking that only it can block the gods and ghosts, so it was named Three But -- gods, ghosts, and people can't pass through this city.

The people of Chu asked the court for instructions as usual, and named it Tiger City according to its location.

General Deng Cui had nothing to do, he really didn't want to stay in this desolate place and watch the city wall rise inch by inch, and he was more willing to travel around.

In the first year, Deng Cui often traveled to various countries in the Western Regions to interact with the royal family. He was of noble birth and was the emperor's favorite, so he was warmly welcomed wherever he went.

Zhang Yin deals with civil engineering and mud and stone every day. He hasn't touched the place for more than two years, but Deng Cui has married three wives, all noble girls from various countries. One of them is even a princess. Home, live together when you go.

The Western Regions are still too small. After visiting the Western Regions several times, Deng Cui began to travel to the West, euphemistically called surveying the terrain, but he only chose places with beautiful scenery and densely populated places. How much terrain is remembered.

Deng Cui's position is higher, Zhang Yin can't control him, and he doesn't dare to control him. He can only do his own job, and strive to finish building the city as soon as possible, so as to be able to atone for his grandson.

In the late spring of this year, around the same time as the battle of Liaodong, Deng Cui had a whimsical idea and said to Zhang Yin, Why does the Great Chu have to build a city here, and why are they pretending to be a ghost to attack? Why can't the Chu army be preemptive and attack directly? To the far west?

Zhang Yin stuttered. At this moment, he was so shocked that he was speechless. Finally, he said, No, no, there is no Chu army.

There were only hundreds of Chu troops in the Western Regions, and they had to rely on the strength of the various countries to build the city, and there was no spare energy to attack the west.

The Western Regions are protected by the Great Chu, and the armies of all countries are the Chu army. Deng Cui no longer consulted with Zhang Yin, did not ask the court for instructions, and went to various countries again. After three months, he really made him a team of tens of thousands. people's army.

At the end of the summer, Zhang Yin was dumbfounded as a Chu army marched westward through the unfinished Huzhu City.

Go, where? Zhang Yin asked.

Let's go and see, maybe you will be back in a few days, or it may be three or five months. Don't wait for me, build a city quickly, and open the door for me when the time comes.

Deng Cui's style has not changed, his management of the army is not strict, and the troops provided by 20 or 30 countries are still separate teams. According to the real standard of the Chu army, it can be said to be chaotic.

Zhang Yin finally realized that Deng Cui was not joking, and immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to rush to the court.

The emperor was on the road when all these things happened.
