Chapter 435: I Have a Beacon


Tian Gong felt a chill all over his body Thinking about how powerful the Zhou royal family was at the beginning, sweeping all the surrounding Rongdi tribes or countries, but now they are powerless under the attack of the dog Rong.

Zhong Geng continued, "Your Majesty, there is actually a reason why the dog Rong attacked the Central Plains on a large scale this time. ” There's a reason.

There was no reason for that war, but there were more or less some reasons, either your cattle ate my crops, or your people stole our sheep, and your ancestor who had passed away for many years used to scold my grandfather, etc.

As long as you want to send troops, you can always find a reason, as the saying goes: there is no excuse for the crime you want to add.

Moreover, there is also a high-sounding saying for this kind of troop dispatch, which is called "the division is famous".

Of course, the Heavenly Palace and the ministers present knew that if Dog Rong wanted to attack Guanzhong, he would definitely find a suitable reason.

"You say, why did they send troops to Hojing" At this time, the Heavenly Palace was much calmer than just now.

"The reason why Inurong attacked Hokyo was because they accepted Shinkook's invitation.

After his daughter Empress Shen was deposed, Shen Hou has never stopped his activities to retaliate against the royal family, in addition to contacting the surrounding vassal states, he also found the strong enemy in the north, Inu Rong, and asked them to send troops to help Shen Hou seize the royal family's world. ” yes After listening to Zhong Geng's words, the Heavenly Palace and the ministers were completely stunned.

The most terrible enemies often come not from within, but from within.

How true that statement is now No wonder Inu Rong is so arrogant, it turns out that there are his own people who help him.

"Hmph, the lonely king knows that this Shen Hou is not a good thing, and now it seems that it is really not a good thing."

After hearing this, the Heavenly Palace said angrily, "When we defeat the attack of the dog Rong, one person will be the emperor to destroy the Shen Kingdom." ” Big talk is big talk, as for whether it can be realized, that's another matter.

But at the moment, it is better to find a way to drive the dog away.

"Da Sima, the matter of Shen Guo will be talked about later, at the moment, you should hurry up and dispatch troops to resist the attack of the dog Rong."

Father Yu Shi said.

After all, Father Yu Shi is also a person who has gone through some things, and he knows very well that in the current situation of the earth, it is useless to just talk about this, and it is better to find a way to deal with the attack of the dog Rong first.

Otherwise, when Inu Rong really enters Hojing, it will be too late to say anything.

After all, Zhong Geng is a famous general, and he is more or less a person who has experienced the war, although he is not used to the domineering style of Yu Shifu, but no matter what, people still have the righteousness of the country, and they clearly know that when the country is in danger, personal grievances should be put aside, so they began to deploy troops.

Unfortunately, the Zhou royal family at this time is really old, coupled with the inaction of Tiangong and Yu Shi's father over the years, the six armies originally stationed in Haojing are said to have more than 70,000 people, but in fact there are not even 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Because in Yu Shifu's opinion, there are so many vassal states around the Zhou royal family, and the pickaxe capital city wall is solid, what is the use of feeding so many soldiers, not to mention the money, it is not to work, it is better to take out the money to build a palace for the Son of Heaven.

So the original more than 70,000 soldiers and horses were constantly removed, and finally this little bit of soldiers and horses remained.

More importantly, the less than 50,000 soldiers and horses were still scattered in the large battalions stationed on the east and west sides of Hojing, and the actual garrison in Hojing was less than 20,000.

It is said that it is definitely more than enough to use the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the pickaxe capital to deal with the less than 15,000 soldiers and horses of the dog Rong, but it is a pity that the war does not only rely on the large number, but also has many factors such as strategy and tactics and the morale of the soldiers.

There are many examples of how less is more.

Faced with the current garrison situation in the pickaxe capital, Zhong Geng sighed and began to arrange his troops.

He first deployed nearly 20,000 soldiers stationed in Hojing in the direction of the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, with about 4,000 people on one side, and then used the remaining soldiers and horses as mobile soldiers and horses led by himself to reinforce them at any time.

At the same time, he sent people out of the city to inform the defenders of the two large battalions in the east and west to prepare for battle.

After arranging the affairs in the city, Zhong Geng did not forget to send soldiers and horses to the Lishan camp, where was the main beacon tower of the Zhou royal family.

As soon as the Inurong army arrived, the troops stationed there began to light the beacon smoke and called on the princes of the world to come to reinforce the royal family.

Such an arrangement should be very complete, and everything that should be thought of has been thought of.

"Your Majesty, according to the regulations of the Zhou rites, there should be at least 70,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hojing, even if the two large battalions in the east and west are each garrisoned with 20,000 soldiers and horses, the soldiers in Hojing should not be less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but why are there less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Hojing today?"

"This is all said by Father Yu Shi, he said that when the royal family of the royal family is clear in the world, the Haiyan River is clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is simply no need for so many troops, and he will say that these armies usually have nothing to do, so they know that they have nothing to do for nothing, so they will eliminate those redundant personnel."

People are real, tell the truth.

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Zhong Geng glared at Father Yu Shi fiercely, what is the point of saying so much at this time.

Without waiting for Zhong Geng to finish arranging all the soldiers and horses, the Dog Rong army, under the leadership of the king, came to the capital of the pickaxe at a gallop.

In addition, the army of Shen led by Shen Hou and the armies of Yan and Xu also came to the capital of Hao.

Shen Hou is a person with a heart, and in order to be able to destroy his suzerain, it can be said that he has worked hard.

Not only did he invite the strong enemy in the north, Dog Rong, to send troops to help him, but he also invited friendly countries like him to send troops to help eliminate the Zhou royal family.

It's really a wall that everyone pushes.

Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyan would never have thought that he would carry it to such an extent, and it is better to overthrow himself with one of his subordinates, after all, there are many vassal states, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two disobedient ones, but if multiple vassal states come together to oppose him, it can only mean that it is his own problem.

Looking at the steady stream of soldiers and horses of the Dog Rong and the soldiers and horses of the princely states coming from the city, the Heavenly Palace, the secretary of the Qing Shi Shifu, the doctor Yin Qiu and others standing in the city were very nervous, "Da Sima, how can there be so many enemies?"

"Da Sima, can we win?"

Zhong Geng is not a god, how can he know what is going on But in the face of the questioning of the Son of Heaven and the important ministers, Zhong Geng had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, you know that this time the Dog Rong army invaded the south, in addition to the main army and horses attacking Haojing, there were also two other soldiers and horses attacking the royal family's Lishan camp and Weishui north bank camp from the east and west sides respectively. ” yes There is such a thing, no wonder Zhong Geng did not mention the matter of the Lishan camp and the camp on the north bank of Weishui when arranging for the reinforcement of the royal army.

It turned out that the enemy not only attacked Hokyo at the same time, but also thought of the Hokyo garrison garrisoned by these two large battalions.

The purpose of using troops in this way has been very clear, that is, to cut off the reinforcements of the two large battalions and concentrate the forces to conquer Hojing.

"So the royal family can't get past this hurdle," Tian Gongyu said with a depressed face.

"The king doesn't have to worry, there are so many princes in the pass, after seeing the royal family's cry for help, they will definitely bring troops to reinforce the royal family."

Zhong Geng said firmly.

When I first set up a beacon tower around Hokyo, I thought that one day I would be able to use it.

Now it's finally time to use it, and the Guanzhong Parliament will come to the rescue of the royal family:
