Chapter 215 Move and Move
The battle at Longtou Fortress shocked the world.
The Liu family army, two million people went, one million people returned...
Lost, half!
The world was in an uproar. The Liu family army represented the peak combat power of the Great Wei. From then on, does it mean that the military power of the Great Wei will be greatly reduced?
Many countries have begun to have some bad ideas. Can they follow the example of Zhao and Shu, join forces overseas to completely hunt down the tiger that had temporarily lost one claw in the Wei Dynasty?
For the Central Plains countries, the Great Wei is just a big stone that is pressing on the hearts of the hearts. The Great Wei is so powerful that even if they unite, they do not have the courage to provoke the Great Wei.
"Is it enough?"
Emperor Wei asked softly in the Jiuji Hall of Chang'an Imperial Palace.
Today, His Majesty the Emperor specially changed into a white robe. Now the whole country of Wei is covered with mourning, with a total of one million souls!
"Not enough." Lu Youwei shook his head.
"About the rough estimate, I can only get 200,000 pairs." Lu Zhengxuan said.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just use Nanmu?" Du Junda asked tentatively.
"No! The best sandalwood must be used!" Emperor Wei was furious.
"His Majesty calm down." Du Junda quickly lowered his head awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, one million pairs are indeed a bit difficult to get. Even if the craftsmen make it overnight, they can't get so many sandalwood materials for a while. It's hard for a good cook to cook without rice." Lu Youwei said.
"However, if you make the volume smaller, there should be no problem with the material and the quantity can be enough. After all, it is just a symbolic place to put some clothes inside." Lu Youwei continued.
"No! It must be done according to the normal size!" Emperor Wei was furious again.
Lu Zhengxuan, Lu Youwei, and Du Junda looked at each other and sighed slightly.
What they are discussing is the coffin.
Emperor Wei planned to give one million pairs of the top-level sandalwood coffins, and to each coffin they mentioned the words "loyalty", "courage" and "righteousness".
This may be the best comfort to the dead soldiers and their relatives.
Most of the one million corpses brought back, less than ten thousand were left on the battlefield of Longtou Fortress and could not be brought back.
In that battle, the State of Zhao, Shu and overseas coalition forces, totaling more than 1.4 million troops, were all defeated!
Huangfu Xuezhen, Shimen Tieyan and other generals fled in a hurry due to serious injuries.
In addition to one million soldiers who died in the battlefield, Liu Tianzhao, Liu Jingyi, Liu Yingze, Liu Hualiang and others were also injured to varying degrees.
The one who was most injured was Liu Feilong!
When the 200,000 veterans of the Liu family turned around to block the pursuing enemy troops behind them, they fought for a day and a night, and never retreated!
In the end, they all died in battle!
Afterwards, Liu Feilong led 100,000 cavalry and 50,000 swords and soldiers to fight the remaining 300,000 enemy troops behind him.
All 100,000 cavalry and 50,000 sword soldiers died in battle!
Liu Feilong was stabbed several times. Thanks to the old doctor Shangguan Chao's life-saving medicine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was still lying in the Imperial Hospital. Dozens of Imperial Doctors took turns to take care of Liu Feilong for twelve hours.
Liu Chu was not having a good time. His left arm started from his elbow and continued to his shoulders, and a deep hole was split open.
The right leg is also penetrated by a scimitar. Fortunately, it does not hurt the muscles and bones and will not leave any sequelae.
The most serious thing is the knife in the mouth of the neck. If Liu Chu hadn't blocked it with his left arm at the critical moment, he might have been in a different position.
The deep hole on the left arm was left for the neck blocking knife.
"Your Majesty, it is better to build a Hall of Heroes and enshrine the tablets of millions of martyrs. As for the coffin, it is better to build a general jar." He Bu said.
"General's jar? How can that work? That is the residence given to the general behind him!" Lu Zhengxuan said, opposing He Bu's proposal.
The general jar is used to hold ashes, but most of them are rewarded by the emperor to the fifth rank and above.
"Okay! Just do what He Bu said and create a million general can! In addition, build the Hall of He Martyrs next to the Wuying Hall! I want my soldiers to enjoy the incense for the ages!" Emperor Wei slapped his hand and directly affirmed He Bu's proposal.
Lu Zhengxuan opened his mouth and said nothing after all. Emperor Wei had already made the decision. If he objected again, he would be bored.
"Your Majesty, General Liu is now seriously injured, the Liu family's army has no leader, and has lost more than half of it. At this stage, it is necessary to have a person who will lead the overall situation. Will one be elected?" Lu Youwei suggested.
"What good candidate do you have?" Emperor Wei looked at Lu Youwei.
"Liu Chu." Lu Youwei said.
Emperor Wei curled the corners of his mouth, "You Lu Youwei, you are so heartless!"
"Okay, then let's do this. After Liu Chu's injury is better, let him enter the palace to receive the order." Emperor Wei said.
"Is Liu Chu too young?" Lu Zhengxuan asked with a tough bullet.
"Huh?" Emperor Wei glanced at Lu Zhengxuan. Lu Zhengxuan quickly shut up and did not dare to say more.
"Okay, it's all over. He Bu, stay and chat with me." Emperor Wei waved.
"Yes, I will leave." Lu Youwei, Du Junda, and Lu Zhengxuan bowed and retreated.
Outside Jiuji Hall.
"Mr. Lu, what's going on with you today? Why do you seem to be inconsistent with Your Majesty everywhere?"
After leaving Jiuji Palace and walking out for a distance, Du Junda looked at Lu Zhengxuan and asked.
"Building one million pairs of top-level sandalwood coffins is undoubtedly a waste of money. At this critical moment, it cannot waste money on the people."
"I know that Your Majesty's original intention is good, to commend those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and to inspire those soldiers who are still alive."
"But, someone has to say something against it, right?" Lu Zhengxuan looked at Du Junda.
"Mr. Lu is a master." Lu Youwei smiled from the side and gave Lu Zhengxuan a thumbs up.
"Actually, your Majesty has made a decision in his heart. We are just cooperating with Your Majesty to act. As for acting, you have to be serious, and there must be a villain."
Lu Zhengxuan nodded to Lu Youwei with a smile and expressed his gratitude.
"Old fox." Du Junda rolled her eyes and turned around and looked at Jiuji Palace.
Your Majesty, your Majesty, after all, I like to take everything alone.
But fortunately, now there is Hebu, who is indeed a capable person and can share a lot of pressure for His Majesty.
"He Bu, I feel heartbroken. One million troops! One million most elite troops, this special lady was beaten away!"
After Lu Youwei and the other two left, Emperor Wei sweared on the spot.
"If it weren't for that little guy Liu Chu who sent a letter back halfway, I quickly sent someone to the demon clan for help. It is estimated that the loss of the Liu family army would have increased by hundreds of thousands!" Emperor Wei was very heartbroken. This time, sending the Liu family army to assist Hu Guo was really the most wrong decision he had ever made!
He never expected that a coup would take place in Hu!
On the day of his return, King Hu was directly imprisoned by the Prime Minister of Hu, Zhan Jingtong, and opened the gates of Hu, and released millions of troops from overseas non-local areas.
In addition, he sent people to lead the way for one million non-local troops overseas, joined forces with the Zhao and Shu, and went around to both ends of Longtou Fortress, and surrounded the Liu family army in Longtou Fortress!
This time, the biggest winner can be said to be Zhan Jingtong. He sat on the throne without any effort. Although he may become a puppet overseas, he is also the king of a country!
"Your Majesty, we are not gods, we can't really predict things like God. Who would have thought that Hu Guo would have a coup?" He Bu also sighed.
"I feel sorry for the soldiers of the Liu family army." Emperor Wei almost covered his face and cried.
"Do you know why they can always call themselves the Liu family army? Instead of the Chen family army? Or the Wei army?"
"Because the three words Liu family army are supreme glory to them! I am reluctant to take them off, and they cannot use this to gain a better position and have the intention to rebel."
"I'm so scared. If there is another decision-making mistake, I will also ruin the remaining million Liu family troops."
"If that happens, what's the face I will have to see my brother in the future?"
Emperor Wei took three breaths in a row and was a little excited.
He Bu quickly comforted him, and smiled bitterly in his heart. That was one million lives. I'm afraid that anyone would not be able to bear it?
Your Majesty, I have really taken too much by myself.
"Your Majesty wants to cheer up. The situation in the Central Plains is too messy now. If you fall, who will lead my Great Wei to sway in this chaotic world?" He Bu said.
"I, it's okay." Emperor Wei shook his hand.
"I hope that Liu Chu's growth will be faster, and there is really not much time left for him." Emperor Wei continued.
"Xi Feichen, Ye Xiaoguang, Gan Chengyuan, Li Baixiao, Xie Lianning, Wei Suo, Hao Hongji, and the monk Zhiyi have all returned. October is in Xing'an City. These people have grown up to a certain extent. Let's give them all to Liu Chu."
"Liu Tianzhao, Liu Jingyi, Liu Yingze, and Liu Hualiang, I suggest that they be transferred from the Liu family army."
"The General Shi Kedi of Bingzhou is already old, so it is most appropriate to let Liu Hualiang succeed."
"General Xuzhou, let Liu Tianzhao take over."
"General of Youzhou, let Liu Jingyi take over."
"General Qingzhou, let Liu Yingze take over."
"The General Bai Qi of Jingzhou, the General Tian Jiang of Jiangzhou, the General Luo Yongning of Jizhou, the General Yun Zhongbao of Yangzhou, and the General Xianggu of Yongzhou, can still command the army for ten years."
He Bu expressed his opinion, and he felt that the Wei army needed to move again.
"Qing, You, Xu, and the four prefectures are closest to Zhao and Shu. Do you want to detain the Liu family and the Liu family army in the south?" Emperor Wei frowned.
"Yes, after Liu Chu entered the palace and received the order, he asked him to lead the Liu family army to station troops between the Youzhou line in the southern border and the Youzhou line in the western border." He Bu nodded.
"Let me think about it." Emperor Wei knew that every decision he made next must be cautious, and he did not want to repeat the mistake of a million troops being killed in the war.
