Chapter 221： Northwest Allied Forces, father, son, master and apprentice reunite!

Chapter 221 Northwest Allied Forces, father, son, master and apprentice reunite!

Everyone knows that Zhou Tianzi's strongest army is the dragon and tiger army.

But they didn't know that there was a little-known super elite unit in the Dragon Tiger Army.

This elite force is called the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven.

The Six Guards of the Son of Heaven are nominally part of the Dragon and Tiger Army, but in fact they are a royal army whose organization and command are completely independent from the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Each of the six guards of the Son of Heaven has 10,000 people, a total of 60,000 people. All the soldiers in the army are elite troops raised by the clan family surnamed Ji since childhood.

Each of these soldiers is a relative with spiritual talents selected by the royal family through layers of screening from the clan.

They don’t need to give birth, they have received strict military training since they were young, and the royal family paid for food, clothing, housing and transportation. They only need training under normal circumstances. .

It can be said that the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven are the most elite troops in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Although there are only 60,000 people.

But its sophisticated equipment and strength are enough to easily crush hundreds of thousands of troops.

Zhou Tianzi used countless taxes and output to equip these six armies with the most powerful weapons and armors in the whole world. It is the most important piece in the hands of the emperor to deter the princes and protect the royal family except the dragon and tiger army. Card.

If the deterrent power of the Dragon and Tiger Army is in the open, then the deterrent power of the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven is in the dark.

Two cards, one bright and one dark, have supported the Great Zhou, and the country has been immortal for nearly ten thousand years.

In this attack of the Qin army, Zhou Tianzi not only used more than 60% of the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army, but also used half of the emperor's six guards.

This was also the main combat force when the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty stationed at Futian Pass were attacked.

It turned out that the emperor of Zhou wanted to keep the Qin army and teach them a good lesson, so that the group of Qin people who were like robbers knew that the Zhou Dynasty was not so easy to plunder.

Unexpectedly, the Qin army's defense at Futian Pass was very complete. Not only the most elite soldiers were left behind, but also many powerful descendants.

The three Tianzi Guards fought for a whole night and failed to break through Futian Pass.

When the news came, to be honest, even Zhou Tianzi was taken aback.

If the price of the destruction of Zhenbei Pass and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people is still acceptable to Zhou Tianzi, then the price of the heavy damage to the six guards of the emperor is absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Tianzi.

From the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the pattern of the six guards of the emperor and the dragon and tiger army, one bright and one dark complementing each other, was established.

The Zhou emperors of all dynasties have followed this etiquette system, giving priority to the taxes, money and food scavenged from various places to these two armies.

Now if the emperor's six guards are damaged in his hands, then he will become a sinner of the entire royal family.

After all, the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven are not ordinary troops, and every loss of one person is a **** price for the Son of Heaven.

Using the hematopoietic ability of the minor nobles who were vassals of the Zhou royal family.

If any one of the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven is killed or injured, it will take decades of rest to barely reproduce the population capable of cultivating the next army.

Therefore, when I heard that the 30,000 emperors and six guards were unable to attack Futian Pass for a long time and suffered heavy damage.

Zhou Tianzi immediately ordered the guards who attacked Futian Pass to withdraw.

But even so, the 30,000 emperor six guards still killed and injured thousands of people.

Thousands of people...

Although it doesn't sound like much, Zhou Tianzi, who understands the preciousness of the six guards of the emperor, feels that his heart is hurting as if bleeding.

If the people die, even if the Zhou Dynasty doesn't care, the population will gradually recover after decades of cultivation.

During the period, there is no need for Zhou Tianzi to pay attention to too many things.

But once the emperor's six guards are dead, it will take real money to replenish them!

Whether it is for the country or the royal family, the blow is heavy.

Of course, the casualties of Qin State were several times more severe than that of Da Zhou.

The Qin army, which occupies a favorable location, not only did not make much money in this battle, but also killed and injured more than 15,000 people, and the battle losses between the two sides reached an astonishing one to three.

You must know that this is a large-scale siege battle. Under normal circumstances, the siege party has to pay at least twice as many sacrifices to touch the city wall.

But this sudden appearance of the Great Zhou Guard subverted everyone's inherent cognition.

As the attacker to recover Futian Pass, the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven dispatched by Emperor Zhou were able to withstand the attack of rain of arrows and gunpowder. In the case of siege, they were still able to fight three against one, making the Qin army pay the **** price.

It can be regarded as regaining some dignity for Emperor Zhou and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It has to be said that the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven are an elite division capable of conquering the world.

It's no wonder that when they received the secret letter from Futianguan, the immediate reaction of the entire Qin Army's million troops was that they couldn't believe their ears, thinking that they had heard something wrong.

After all, in Qin Jun's view, the strongest dragon and tiger army in the Great Zhou Dynasty is still waiting in full force in the city of Haojing. The other King Qin's troops are either still on the road and have not assembled, or a group of people who can't be beaten to death like a piece of brown sugar, and can't be shaken off. mob.

How could it be possible under such circumstances that an unknown Qin army suddenly cut off their retreat in the dog days?

But the facts were right in front of their eyes, and even if they didn't want to believe it, they had to believe it.

Fortunately, he was careful at the beginning and left a large number of elite troops at Futian Pass to guard the rear, which made Zhou Tianzi's plan come to nothing.

After discovering that Da Zhou's strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The Qin army, who had a smooth journey, finally completely put away his contempt, did not continue to stay in the hinterland of Dazhou, and started to evacuate like the wind carrying the stolen gold, silver and jewelry.

This battle was won.

The shortfall left by the Qin State sending troops to attack the Great Zhou was finally made up for. The two-month looting, the gold, silver and jewels harvested on the land of the Central Plains were enough for the Qin army to digest for several years.

After Qin Jun left, Da Zhou took over Futian Pass again immediately.

After all, the Qin army is not the only enemy outside of Futian Pass. The Northwest United Army formed after the rebellion of the Xingyue Army, Zhenbei Army, and Zhenxi Army has become a thorn in the side of Da Zhou besides the Qin Army.

There is no doubt that if it were not for the rebellion of the Northwest Allied Forces at a critical time.

Da Zhou will never be reduced to such a miserable situation.

For a while, the calls within the Zhou Dynasty for the crusade against the Northwest Allied Forces became louder and louder.

After taking over Futian Pass, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty licked their wounds while staring at the Northwest coalition forces beyond the Great Wall.

At this moment, their thinking is actually very simple-they can't deal with the Qin army, and can't they also deal with the rebel army who only ruled the barren land in the northwest?

Of course, Dazhou has just experienced the flames of war, and the country is still in a mess. Thousands of miles behind Futian Pass have been trampled by the Qin army's war horses, and hundreds of miles are desolate.

Therefore, the most urgent and most important thing for Dazhou now is to carry out aftermath work, properly resettle the refugees who lost their land due to the war in the country, and repair the towns and passes damaged in the war.

It is not yet the time to send troops.

But all the soldiers of the Great Zhou and the people know that sooner or later, the Great Zhou will liquidate the rebels in the northwest.

…

Not only the people of the Zhou Dynasty knew this, but Li Yueming also knew it.

Since the disintegration of the Tiandu Dynasty, one of the foundations for the Six Kingdoms to stand still is the merciless attack on domestic rebel forces.

If the rebel troops can survive smoothly.

So what is the face of the royal family?

What has been done must be done again, and what has been done must be done again.

If the Northwest Allied Forces rebelled, they could live well.

The princes from all walks of life in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with countless soldiers and horses, what would they think?

So, in a political sense.

Eliminating the rebels in the Northwest is even higher priority than countering the Qin army.

For this reason, Li Yueming also made several preparations.

After so many years of improvement, the construction of the city wall of Beibinghe Town has been basically completed. In the next few years, it is only necessary to continue to consolidate and improve the functionality of the city wall.

After owning this city wall, not to mention other places, at least Beibinghe Town has the power to protect itself in this vast northern land.

Even if Da Zhou really wanted to send an army to attack, Beibinghe Town would not fall easily.

Of course, just this is definitely not enough.

Whether it is the Zhenbei Army or the Xingyue Army, they are just normal troops. In front of ordinary people who are also normal troops, they are already the elite of the elite.

But in front of an army with a military spirit, it is not enough to look at it at all.

Therefore, Li Yueming's second-hand preparation was to borrow troops from Zhenxiguan.

The Qin army's attack on Da Zhou reaped incalculable amounts of gold and silver and financial reports.

In a short period of time, it will definitely not be able to raise weapons.

Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of more than 300,000 troops with military spirits in Zhenxiguan to put there. If Li Yueming is lent 100,000, it can effectively strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Xingyue Army.

After writing Li Yueming's letter, Zhenxi Wang Su Fulong agreed to Li Yueming's request after a moment of consideration.

Starting when the Zhenxi Army agreed to rebel against the Great Zhou with the Xingyue Army.

The fates of the Zhenxi Army and the Xingyue Army are actually completely tied together.

If the two places in the northwest advance and retreat together without reservation, they will contain each other and form a corner, and they may still have the power to fight against the Great Zhou.

As long as there is selfishness on one side, and if there is a gap due to this, it won't be long before the Zhou Dynasty joins forces, and neither the Xingyue Army nor the Zhenxi Army will be able to fight back.

Therefore, the Zhenxi Army is helping the Xingyue Army now, but it is actually helping itself.

Of course Li Yueming does not prostitute for nothing.

Zhenxiguan is located in the yellow sandy land in the northwest, and basically does not produce much grain. Therefore, Li Yueming promised that as long as the problem of the refugees in the northwest is resolved, Beibinghe Town will regularly transport enough grain and grass for the Zhenxi army to eat and drink for 150,000 troops every year.

It can be said that it is also full of sincerity.

The two sides hit it off.

The King of Zhenxi was very generous, and directly sent Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei out to guard Beibinghe Town with 100,000 Zhenxi troops.

As for the third means...

It's nothing else, just Li Yueming's super thighs, a little fox from the extremely cold snow mountain.

As long as the friendly relationship with the little fox can be maintained, the Xingyue Army is enough to protect itself.

Even if the situation is corrupted to the point of irreversibility, the worst thing is to give up Beibinghe Town, a territory that has been hard-won through hard work, and seek refuge in the Shiwanda Mountains.

Of course, this one is a way to suppress the bottom of the box.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Yueming will not take it out easily.

After all, both the Xingyue Army and Beibinghe Town need more tempering, otherwise he will never get what he wants.

…

…0…

At the end of the month, the army sent by King Zhenxi arrived.

Li Yueming, Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei finally met again after more than 20 years.

When the three of them met, it was when Wang Ziwei accepted Li Yueming as his disciple.

Time always goes by like running water.

Now there are also three masters and apprentices, father and son, but the situation is completely different from the past.

After a brief greeting, Li Yueming led Wang Ziwei and Li Nanfeng into Beibinghe Town.

I saw the tall city in front of me in the ice and snow.

Although the construction is still a bit rough.

But both the width and height, as well as the strength of the soil on the surface, far exceeded Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei's expectations.

Li Nanfeng groped for the city wall of Beibinghe Town, turned his head to look at Li Yueming and said, "Fool, this city...was really built by your hands?"

Li Yueming nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I'm the one who handles it all by myself, what does the old man think?"

Hearing this, Li Nanfeng turned his head to look at the tall city wall again, nodded involuntarily and said, "Okay, okay, with this city, even if the emperor of Zhou has 500,000 soldiers, the strength of our two armies is enough to barely contend! "

To be honest, Li Nanfeng was always pessimistic before coming here.

Although through some control by Li Yueming, the Xingyue Army and Zhenxi Pass were successfully preserved.

But Li Nanfeng is not optimistic about Li Yueming's actions, and even thinks that Li Yueming is saving his father by sacrificing the Xingyue Army.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Even if the Qin army broke through the northern defense line of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be powerless to destroy the entire Zhou Dynasty.

At most, they will burn, kill and loot, and they will definitely leave in the end.

The Xingyue Army and the Zhenxi Army rebelled while the Qin Army was attacking, and they were comfortable at the time.

But how will the anger of the Zhou Dynasty be calmed down next?

Zhenxi Army may be able to continue to suppress Xiguan by relying on natural dangers.

But most of the Xingyue Army is more ill-fortune than good.

In Li Nanfeng's logical system, this is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst. Although it has changed the current situation, it can only solve a temporary emergency.

If it wasn't for Wang Ziwei's persuasion all the time.

At first, Li Nanfeng might not agree to Li Yueming's plan.

Now, when he saw the city built by Li Yueming, Li Nanfeng suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated his son.

Being able to build such a thick city wall in this icy and snowy extreme north, in terms of scale, it is not even inferior to some towns in the Central Plains with a population of one million.

Few brushes don't even think about it.

Li Yueming smiled again when he heard the words: "That's natural. This place will be the birthplace of my Li family, and it will also be the foundation of my Li family in the future. If you don't invest more manpower and material resources to build a stable city, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" The foundation of the Li family?"

Heard Li Yueming's rhetoric.

Li Nanfeng couldn't help feeling a strong sense of pride in his heart.

Although he was quite proud in his heart, he still couldn't show it on his face. Li Nanfeng reprimanded falsely: "My Li family has already made a fortune since the generation of our ancestors, so it's your turn to be quick with your tongue!"

Li Yueming nodded but did not deny it.

Although the fortune he mentioned and the fortune Li Nanfeng mentioned are not the same concept, but there are some things that cannot be brought out in the open.

In ancient times, there was a well-known allusion of Sima Zhaozhi's heart, which led to Sima Zhao and the Sima family behind him being hung on the pillar of shame in history and ridiculed by future generations for thousands of years.

At this moment, Li Yueming doesn't want to come up with a well-known allusion in Li Yueming's mind.

After entering Beibinghe Town.

As the field of vision gradually opened up, the expressions of Li Nanfeng and Wang Ziwei became richer.

Before entering the city, the two saw the city wall that Li Yueming built outside Beibinghe Town, and they were already mentally prepared for the population size of Beibinghe Town.

But seeing such a neatly arranged, horizontal and vertical city now, it still produces a strong sense of impact.

It seems that you have come to a country that does not belong to this world in an instant.

At this moment, inside the city wall.

Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue have been waiting with anticipation for a long time.

They, like Li Yueming, have not seen their father for many years.

Before Li Nanfeng could recover from the shock of seeing Beibinghe Town for the first time, Li Ruyue had already flung herself into Li Nanfeng's arms like a swallow returning home.

Li Ruxing seemed much calmer, but after seeing Li Nanfeng's slightly stooped figure and the strands of white hair at the temples, his eyes were still red involuntarily.

In their minds, their father is an indomitable hero.

But once upon a time, this indomitable and indomitable hero quietly drooped his back, and the black hair on his temples was also stained with a thick layer of white snow by time.
