Chapter 65 Assemble, go south

Next palace, training ground.

Thousands of soldiers killed the sky, the sound of stirring drums fluttered with the flags, and occasionally there were harsh sounds of gold, a busy training scene.

Wei Xiang followed Zhao Shuo on the high platform, his eyes slightly uneasy.

The Zhao family had a total of 200 soldiers, that is, 600 soldiers in combat chariots. In addition, a car of 30 soldiers was 6,000 infantry, which totaled 6,600.

Among them, one hundred and ten chariots and three thousand infantrymen belonged to Zhao Shuo directly. Yuan Tong, Ping Kuo and Lou Ying each had one thousand people and thirty chariots.

If Zhao Chuan and Zhao Zhan, who were sent to Handan, were included in the Handan father and son, the Zhao family would have a stronger power.

Zhao Shuo stood on the high platform, with a bit of a self-conceived look on his young face, and smiled at Wei Xiang, "What do the son of the Zhongshu think of these soldiers?"

Wei Xiang said seriously: "All of them are elite."

Zhao Shuo smiled again and said, "Can you defeat Chu?"

Wei Xiang said: "Yes."

Zhao Shuo said again: "Can you accept the ministers and officials in the country?"

Wei Xiang said: "No."

Zhao Shuo's face suddenly looked a little unfavorable: "Why not?"

Wei Xiang said: "Chu is the enemy, and it is not difficult to defeat him by swords and weapons. As the ministers and colleagues, it is difficult to defeat him by wisdom."

Zhao Shuo said: "Where did the plan come from?"

Wei Xiang said: "Destroy the barbarians, expand the territory, subdue the princes, and support the royal family. The ministers and officials will naturally be intimidated. This is a victory."

Zhao Shuo laughed when he heard this: "Support the royal family? Are you talking about the royal family who was asked about the Nine Dings by the King of Chu?"

Wei Xiang said seriously: "Duke Huan of Qi respects the king and expels the barbarians to achieve hegemony. He first Duke Wen defeated Di Rong and achieved hegemony. Now there are Chu Man on three sides of the Great Jin Dynasty. If the lord imitates Qi Huan, Duke Wen's great cause will be reproduced."

Zhao Shuo shook his head and said, "Zhongsha, I can listen to you in other matters, this matter is not allowed. My father joined the princes as the Supreme Minister of Jin, so why did he care about the Emperor of Zhou?"

Wei Xiang sighed and stopped talking.

Zhao Shuo is a son who admires his father, and his mind is full of thinking about following the old path of his father Zhao Dun. He will basically not be convinced in this matter.

Zhao Dun's biological mother and Zhao Shuo's grandmother Shuwei came from the Rong tribe state. This may be one of the reasons why the father and son were not keen on respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, but prefer to impose the princes.

Three chariots slowly drove over. Yuan Tong, Ping Kuo and Lou Ying stood on the chariot in military uniforms and saluted Zhao Shuo at the same time: "Zhao Meng."

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly and said, "All have arrived? Then let's go."

According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, when a war broke out in the country, the ministers and officials, as lords of the country, had to send troops. This time, the Zhao family chose to dispatch 5,000 people and 150 chariots, leaving only the minimum garrison force.

Ping Kuo's loud voice came from the carriage behind him from a distance: "Chu is a great enemy, and it is really unwise to come out when he fought with Chu State!"

Lou Ying's laughter rang out: "Brother, are you afraid of the people of Chu? Just like this, why not ask me to hand over the army under my command to me, and I can go home with peace of mind and fight on the bed!"

"Enough!" Yuan Tong's scolding immediately came: "It's all doctors, how can they behave?"

Wei Xiang, who was standing on the chariot, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Shuo and found that the young Jin Xiaqing looked calm.

As the saying goes, when a person is boundless, when thousands of chariots and more than 30,000 soldiers gather outside Jiangdu, this amazing momentum that comes to his face cannot be presented by any TV or movie.

As Zhao Shuo's personal guard, Wei Xiang was able to follow Zhao Shuo to the high platform and witness the entire ceremony of the Marquis of Jin awarding the military talismans and axes to Queque.

The Marquis of Jin looked at the face of a little complicated, and said slowly: "Bo, this Marquis had thought about fighting in person, but he was willing but not capable enough. Everything... I'll ask Marquis of Jin."

But his hair was floating, and he laughed a long time, saying, "I will do the battle with my husband and other ministers. You just need to sit upright in Jiangdu Palace and wait for the great Jin Dynasty to be successful. What do you think?"

Lin’s father, Xiangu, Luan Dun, and Zhao Shuo said in unison at this moment: “What Que Bo said is extremely true!”

The Marquis of Jin's eyes fainted slightly, and he stopped at the only army soldier who had not spoken, and said slowly: "Shibo, you are the new minister, but I have high hopes for you, hoping that you and other ministers will win the victory for the Great Jin Dynasty!"

The scholar owed his body and said, "Don't worry, you must do your best."

Wei Xiang sighed in his heart as he looked at this scene. Who said that the ministers and officials of Jin were all ambitious people? There is never a shortage of people who stick to principles in any era, right?

After gathering 27,000 troops and 900 chariots, the Jin army drove out in a mighty manner.

Just as spring began, King Zhuang of Chu led 35,000 Chu troops and 1,200 chariots to the north and launched an attack on Cai State on the name of not paying enough protection fees last year.

As a small country in the Huai and Si River Basin, Cai State certainly did not have any strength or opportunity to oppose Chu State, so the envoy of Cai State rushed to Jin State for help as quickly as possible.

The reaction of Jin State was also unusually rapid. It assembled troops in just ten days later and began to move south in a mighty manner.

A long dragon follows the road south of Jiangdu and goes straight to the Yellow River.

Wei Xiang stood on the chariot and looked at the countless Jin soldiers in front and behind, feeling moved.

This is the current overlord of the Central Plains, the most powerful country in the world!

Wei Xiang knew very well why this was. The Marquis of Jin wanted to prove that he was not just Zhao Dun's marionette, but lacked hope to prove that he could achieve achievements that were not inferior to his predecessor Zhao Dun. The Xian family where Xian Gu was originally a war madman. Zhao Shuo, as the new helmsman of the Zhao family, urgently needed achievements to prove himself. Luan Dun was still a Zhao family's vocal insect at this moment.

When the five of the Duke of Jin and the five of the Six Lords unified their thoughts, the energy and reaction speed of Jin, the world's largest power, was amazing.

The Chu ruler and ministers who came confidently because of Zhao Dun's death will be taught a considerable lesson this time.

As the only person who might have predicted the end of the war, Wei Xiang actually considered more about other aspects—
