Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 386

[Chapter 386]

“His Royal Highness, this is the situation of the soldiers and horses sent by the powerful clans to attack Xiliang this time.”

After explaining Wang Chong’s training of soldiers, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he bumped into Tsui Hark who was about to come to see him.

“The imperial court sent 200,000 troops, the Dou family 100,000, the Xiao family 100,000, the Wang family 60,000, and the Han family 80,000.” Zhao Xu took the paper in Xu Ke’s hand and began to read.

Although it is imperative to crusade against Xiliang.

However, the powerful clans were still arguing endlessly in the court about how much each family sent troops.

Estimating this number is also the result of the final game.

“There are more than half a million troops, this is not counting the Ma family, it’s really a meat grinder.” Zhao Xu couldn’t help shaking his head.

This scale has caught up with the Changping battle between Qin and Zhao in the contemporary era.

And this is not counting the Ma family and his troops.

For Mahan, this time he will definitely do his best.

After all, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are bound to take back.

Although this number is large, it is not very surprising to Zhao Xu.

After all, the contemporary Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo and dispatched millions of troops.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Dynasty mobilized 600,000 troops and collected 560,000 horses to launch an all-out war against the Southern Song Dynasty.

More recently, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, during the Battle of Saerhu, the Ming army dispatched 40,000 to 50,000 troops to attack Jurchen.

Now that Dasong has suffered such a national humiliation, it is not difficult to understand how to gather more than 500,000 troops.

However, he was very skeptical about the strength of this mixed army of more than half a million troops.

After all, it is rarer than pie in the sky that the army of the clan unites to fight against foreign enemies.

“Also, according to what they discussed, the soldiers and horses of the Dou family, the Wang family, the Han family and the imperial court will meet outside Wuguan, the soldiers and horses of the Xiao family will start from Jianguan, and the soldiers and horses of the Ma family will meet at Qinguan. Cool.” Tsui Hark added that these were all information sent from the capital.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, “What’s going on in Xiliang?”

“Xiliang is facing an enemy. Ma Jin is repairing the city, with deep ditches and high fortifications. Xiliang also has food, grass, soldiers and horses to move to Qinzhou and Yongzhou at the moment. Looks like he’s ready to fight,” Tsui Hark said.

“How about Beidi?” Zhao Xu asked again.

This is what he cares about the most. If it is only Xiliang, without his participation, I am afraid that Xiliang will not be able to resist Da Song’s crusade this time.

After all, he had already delivered some of the artillery to the imperial army and clans.

But if Beidi participated, it would be difficult to say about this war.

“There has been no change in Beidi for the time being, but there are more and more gunfire in Jincheng. Obviously, the number of artillery in Beidi will increase again.” Xu Ke said.

After thinking for a while, he said again: “The only difference is that Beidi Khan’s second son Ulanba has recently gone to Korea.”

“Korea?” Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this.

Tiemu Pagoda went to Xiliang, and Ulan Ba went to Korea.

Beidi is making moves at both ends of the east and west at the same time, I am afraid that this time the plan is not small.

Seeing King Yan’s distressed look, Tsui Hark felt a little guilty. He said, “At the moment, we don’t have any eyeliner in Korea, and the officials will find a way to get involved as soon as possible.”

He really never thought about Korea, after all, Korea is just The servant country of Beidi.

These years, he has followed Beidi like a follower, wherever Beidi points to, and where he hits.

What’s more, the Korean navy often came to the sea off Yanzhou to attack the people who went fishing, not only killing people, but also stealing the fish.

After all, the shortest distance from Goryeo to Yanzhou from the sea is only two or three hundred miles.

Zhao Xu noticed Xu Hark’s expression, and he said with a smile, “It’s not your fault. After all, no one in the Fourth Academy can speak Korean, so it’s hard to put eyeliner in Korea.

” Yes, maybe we can find a way from here.” Tsui Hark said.

When he went to Pingcheng, he chatted with Wei Feng, a pirate in prison, and knew a little about pirates.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The Koryo territory here includes not only the peninsula but also the contemporary Jiaodong Peninsula.

That is, the peninsula protruding into the sea in the southwest of Liaoning.

The shortest distance from here to Liao County is more than two hundred miles, which is quite close.

Now, he really wants to know what Ulan Ba did in Goryeo.

After all, this is related to a big battle in the near future.

“The situation is getting more and more complicated.” There was a trace of worry in Zhao Xu’s eyes.

…

Goryeo.

Soil city.

Ulan Ba slept until noon and didn’t wake up. He was too tired last night. The King of Korea sent six beauties to his room to let him have fun.

At this moment, the dazzling sunlight came in through the crack of the door and reflected on the six shining white bodies.

He chuckled, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Outside, maids of honor in skirts with swollen hem are serving outside.

Seeing him go out, he immediately bowed his head and knelt down.

Immediately, a foreman sent someone to fetch water for Ulanba to wash.

The news of Ulan Ba’s awakening quickly reached the ears of King Goryeo.

He brought a group of ministers to Ulan Ba’s house to wait for orders.

A hundred years ago, Goryeo was still a vassal state of Daesong.

The King of Goryeo accepts the imperial seal from Emperor Daesong.

But seeing that Beidi was getting stronger and stronger, the king of Koryo at that time was driven by ambition.

The Goryeo army captured a large area of Dasong’s territory in the north in one fell swoop, and immediately invested in Beidi.

Dasong wanted to attack Goryeo, but he was afraid of sending troops from Beidi, so he had to let it go.

Ninety years later, Beidi captured Ningjindusi, which was adjacent to Yanzhou, and Dasong completely lost all the territory outside Yanguan.

“Great King Ulanba, did you have a good time last night?” Koryo King Park In-hee had a flattering look on his face.

The strength of Beidi is unquestionable, and now Goryeo is on the east side of Beidi’s territory.

King Goryeo and his ministers knew that once Beidi was angered, the fall of Goryeo would only happen in an instant.

Ulanba came out lazily from the room, and looked proudly at the King of Korea, “Happiness is happiness, but you know, I, Korea, is not for this matter. Chess piece, now it’s time to place your Goryeo piece on the east side, in this war, we Beidi need to win Yanguan together with you.”
