Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, this is the situation of the troops 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 Xu Hark who was coming to see him.

"The imperial court sends 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 from Xu Ke's hand and read.

Although the crusade against Xiliang is imperative.

However, the powerful clans continued to quarrel in the court over how much troops each family should send.

It is estimated that this number is also the result of the final game.

"The army of more than half a million people, not counting the Ma family, is really a meat grinder." Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head.

This scale is comparable to the contemporary Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao.

And this does not include the Ma family and his military strength.

For Ma Han, he will definitely try his best this time.

After all, Qinzhou and Yongzhou must be taken back.

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

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

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Dynasty mobilized an army of 600,000 and collected 560,000 war 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 Sarhu, the Ming army dispatched four to five million troops to attack the Jurchens.

Now that Dasong has suffered such national humiliation, it is not difficult to understand why he mustered an army of more than 500,000 people.

However, he was very doubtful about the combat strength of this mixed army of more than 500,000 people.

After all, it is rarer than pie in the sky for the powerful army to unite 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 set off from Jianguan, and the soldiers and horses of the Ma family will meet at Qinguan. This is called a three-way expedition. Cool." Tsui Hark added that this was all information sent from the capital.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "What's going on in Xiliang?"

"Xiliang is facing a formidable enemy. Ma Jin is repairing the city with deep ditches and high fortresses. Xiliang also has provisions and soldiers and horses currently mobilized to Qinzhou and Yongzhou, looking ready to fight." Xu Ke said.

"How is Beidi?" Zhao Xu asked again.

This is what he cares about most. If it is just Xiliang and he does not need to participate, I am afraid that Xiliang will not be able to resist Da Song's crusade this time.

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

But if Beidi is involved, it will be difficult to predict the war.

"There haven't been any changes in Beidi for the time being, but the sound of artillery in Jincheng is increasing. Obviously, the number of artillery in Beidi is increasing again." Xu Hark said.

After thinking for a while, he added: "The only difference is that Ulanba, the second son of Beidi Khan, went to Korea recently."

"Gaoli?" Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this.

Temuta went to Xiliang, and Ulanba went to Gaoli.

Beidi is making moves in both the east and west at the same time, I'm afraid this plan is not small.

Seeing that King Yan looked very distressed, Xu Hark felt a little guilty. He said: "At the moment, we don't have any informants in Goryeo. I will find a way to get involved as soon as possible."

He really had never considered Goryeo. After all, Goryeo was just a slave state of Beidi.

Over the years, he has followed Beidi like a follower, wherever Beidi points, he hits wherever he points.

In addition, the Goryeo navy often came to the sea off Yanzhou to attack people who went fishing. Not only did they kill people, but they also stole the fish.

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

Zhao Xu noticed Xu Hark's expression and smiled: "It's not your fault. After all, no one in the Fourth Academy can speak Korean. It's difficult to have an informant in Korea."

"There are some pirates who hang out with the Korean pirates all year round. Maybe we can find a solution from this." Xu Hark said.

When he went to Pingcheng, he talked with Wei Feng, a pirate in prison, and had some understanding of pirates.

Zhao Xu nodded.

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

It is the peninsula extending out into the sea in the southwest of Liaoning.

The shortest distance from here to Liao County is more than 200 miles, which is quite close.

Now, he wanted to know what exactly Ulanba did in Goryeo.

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

"The situation is getting more and more complicated." There was a hint of worry in Zhao Xu's eyes.

…

Goryeo.

Yangcheng.

Ulanba didn't wake up until noon. He was too tired last night, so the King of Korea sent six beauties to his room to let him have fun.

At this moment, the dazzling sunlight shines in through the crack of the door, reflecting on the six white bodies.

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

Outside, maids wearing skirts with bulging hems were waiting outside.

Seeing him going out, he immediately lowered his head and knelt down.

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

The news of Ulanba's awakening soon reached the ears of the King of Korea.

He brought a group of ministers to Ulanba's house to wait for orders.

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

The King of Goryeo accepted the imperial title from Emperor Daesong.

But seeing Beidi getting stronger and stronger, the King of Goryeo at that time had a wrong idea driven by ambition.

The Goryeo army captured a large area of ​​northern territory belonging to Dasong in one fell swoop and immediately surrendered to Beidi.

Da Song wanted to attack Goryeo, but he was afraid that Beidi would send troops, so he had no choice but to stop.

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

"King Ulanba, did you have a good time last night?" Park In-hee, King of Korea, had a flattering look on his face.

There is no doubt about the power of Beidi. Now Goryeo is on the east side of Beidi territory.

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

Ulan Ba ​​lazily came out of the room and looked at the King of Koryo proudly, "It's fun, but you know, this is not what I, Koryo, are for. The Khan decided to go south this autumn and winter and place a flower in Xiliang. Chess piece, now it’s time to place your Goryeo chess piece in the east. In this war, we Beidi need to take Yanguan together with you.”
