Chapter 2622: Han Shizhong turned the tide and Nong Yu became the leader of the Four Nations (Part 1)
Annan, Qingmeigang.
Ying Nongyu, who was named Princess Anyang, was warmly welcomed by the people of Ruan and Yue after arriving at Qingmei Port by clutch.
The people of the whole city flocked to the port to observe the style of the princess of the sect.
Nong Yu didn''t want to show up in public, but when he saw tens of thousands of people greeting him, he seemed too arrogant if he didn''t even show his face. So he walked out of the carriage and waved to the people along the way with a smile under the protection of a group of guards.
Nong Yu''s beautiful face, graceful figure, and noble temperament make everyone who sees her amazed. After all, Ruan Yue and the two countries with harsh environments cannot raise such beautiful women.
Even the princes of Ruan and Yue could not help but show obsession in their eyes after seeing Nong Yu, wishing they could marry this noble princess of the Qin Dynasty instead of Chi You, but this was destined to be a luxury, after all, even their fathers did not have the qualifications.
After attending the welcoming ceremony between Ruan and Yue, Nong Yu did not go directly to the south, but stayed in Qingmei Port.
The war between Southern Shu has not yet ended, and Chi You is also on the front line of southern Shu. Even if Nong Yu goes to the southern country, he will not be able to marry Chi You in the short term.
What''s more, the Chu army has attacked the Shengjing Pass. Although Zhurong temporarily saved the Xiong Pass, as long as the Chu army does not retreat for a day, the victory or defeat will be unknown.
If the Shengjing Pass is lost, the southern country may be in danger of destruction. Wouldn''t Nongyu seek death in the past?
Therefore, if Chi You wants to marry Nongyu, he must win this battle.
The day after Nong Yu was stranded in Qingmeigang, he learned that the Ruan Yue coalition was blocked by Yang Xiuqing and that Yang Xiuqing could not save it, and that Yang Xiuqing had a bad premonition in his heart, so he informed Kan Ze, the accompanying official of the Ministry of Rites.
After the two of them decided to do so, they both felt that the situation of the Ruan Yue coalition was a little bad. King Ruan and King Yue might have been beaten by Yang Xiuqing''s plan.
After all, more than a month has passed, which is enough for the Jingnan Chu army to arrive at Wugong City, but Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan have not arrived for a long time. So where are they?
Nong Yu and Kan Ze both speculated that Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan''s reinforcements might have arrived long ago. The reason why they could not bear it was just waiting for a chance to kill with one blow and wipe out the Ruan Yue coalition.
Although the combined total of Yang Xiuqing, Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan''s armies is not as strong as that of the Ruan Yue coalition, the overall combat power is obviously stronger than that of the Ruan Yue coalition. With proper planning, it may not be impossible to defeat or even wipe out the Ruan Yue coalition.
This time, the proactive provocation of Ruan and Yue completely angered the Chu State. Once the Chu army succeeds and the main force of Ruan and Yue is lost, the two countries may be in danger of destroying the country.
If both Ruan and Yue are in danger of national destruction, Qingmei Port will naturally be no longer safe, and the Qin Dynasty will also lose this important stronghold for trading with Annan and the southern country.
As soon as he thought of this, Nong Yu and Kan Ze realized that they could not sit still, otherwise his guess would be in the future in the near future.
"Ruan Yue and Yue have bought so many weapons from our Daqin. With a decisive military advantage, they still cannot beat Chu. The real mud cannot support the wall." Kan Ze said with a headache.
"It''s too late to say this now. The most urgent task is to save the Ruan Yue coalition and prevent them from losing too badly." Nong Yu said.
"But Qingmei Port is thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty. We have no soldiers and soldiers now. How can we save the Ruan Yue coalition?"
Hearing Kan Ze''s words, a strange color flashed in Nong Yu''s eyes and said lightly: "Sir, I forgot that there are five hundred guards in Nong Yu''s dowry, and there are 1,000 garrisons in the southern country in Qingmei Port. This army should be used by me."
Kan Ze suddenly showed a sudden look of consciousness. Although the role that 1,500 people can play in this battle of more than 100,000 people is limited, their purpose is to protect Ruan Yue''s main force. If it is used well, it may not be impossible.
"These five hundred guards are all your dowry for princess. If they were all sacrificed in Annan, princess, you will have no guards when you go to the south." Kan Ze said.
There were actually three thousand Japanese slaves in Nong Yu''s dowry, but they had not been transported here yet, and most Japanese slaves did not have much combat power, so Kan Ze did not mention it again.
"The interests of the empire are above everything else." Nong Yu responded lightly.
Seeing this, Kan Ze stopped persuading him, but said, "There is an army, but there is no general."
Although Nong Yu''s **** Qin Jing, although he is a school-level officer and has first-class strength, he obviously cannot support the important task of saving Ruan Yue coalition.
"It depends on your eloquence. Han Shizhong, the general of the navy who escorted us, is not only good at water warfare, but also very proficient in land warfare. He can lead the 1,000 Southern Army and the 500 Guards to participate in the war."
Kan Ze was shocked when he heard Nong Yu''s words. After all, he didn''t know that the navy general Han Shizhong was also good at land warfare. How did Nong Yu know that even if he didn''t go out of the door, he would not get out of the second door?
Nong Yu''s identity at the Black Ice Platform has always been kept confidential to the outside world. Except for the senior management of the Black Ice Platform, not many people knew that Nong Yu had worked at the Black Ice Platform.
Although there is a general candidate, Han Shizhong also has his own task and may not agree to lead the army out of the station, so Kan Zefu still has to persuade him.
But what Kan Ze did not expect was that after Han Shizhong learned that Ruan Yue was in a bad situation, he agreed to lead the army to join the war without much consideration.
Han Shizhong was implanted as Han Xuan''s son and had a grudge against King Liu Xiu of Chu to kill his father, so he naturally would not miss any opportunity to attack Chu.
Kan Ze convinced Han Shizhong, and Nongyu also relied on the identity of the future Queen of the Southern Kingdom to convince Meng Ke, the guardian of the Southern Kingdom in Qingmei Port.
After Han Shizhong was appointed by Nong Yu, he took over the command of five hundred guards and a thousand Southern Army from the **** Qin Jing and Meng Ke, and then followed Nong Yu to the warehouse where the Japanese slaves were detained.
Only one thousand Japanese slaves in Nongyu''s dowry have been transported to Qingmei Port at present, and the remaining two thousand will be delivered in the next batch.
Many of these Japanese slaves were prisoners of war captured by the Qin army during the Battle of the Japanese.
After these Japanese soldiers were captured, only a small number of them would be recruited by suspicious generals such as Kenshin Uesugi and Xue Tachibana. The vast majority of the remaining people became slaves and were scattered in major mines for life. The three thousand Japanese slaves of Nongyu were all selected from the mines. When the Qin army was coming, the Japanese slaves all showed fear in their eyes and even trembled unconsciously. It was obvious that they were afraid of the Qin army to their core.
"The slaves all listened to you. You resisted the heavenly soldiers and the Qin Dynasty as enemies, and should have been destined to be slaves for life, but your master, Princess Anyang of the Qin Dynasty, is kind and decided to give you a chance to change your destiny.
As long as you fight for His Highness the Princess, you will not only be able to get rid of the body of slaves and become the glorious warriors of the Qin Dynasty, but even your family members far away in Yingzhou will receive rewards. ”
After hearing this, all the slaves who were already numb were excited, and they knelt down and kowtowed, shouted and sweared to be loyal to Nongyu.
Seeing this, Han Shizhong frowned and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to use these slaves?"
"Are the general worried that they will rebel?"
Hearing Nong Yu''s words, Han Shizhong did not answer, but his eyes were full of distrust.
Nong Yu smiled and said, "Don''t worry, General, they will not rebel.
Yingzhou has been divided up by the Central Plains countries, and their families are all under the rule of the empire. He is even in a foreign land thousands of miles away and cannot survive without this palace.
Now that I have given them the opportunity to restore freedom, they are too late to be loyal to me, so how can they rebel? ”
Han Shizhong felt it was reasonable when he heard this. Moreover, Nongyu used these slaves to participate in the war, which was also a cannon fodder for the guards to pay their lives. After all, if you want to restore your freedom, you have to wait until the battle is over, and only the living are qualified to get rid of the slave body.
One thousand Japanese slaves naturally wanted to join the war to get rid of the slaves, but there were only 500 people who met Han Shizhong''s requirements and had been on the battlefield.
Han Shizhong didn''t dislike this. It would be better to have these 500 people than not.
Nong Yu saw that the slaves were rushing for the quota. The only person was obviously ragged and had a messy liver, but he was majestic, showing his sharpness like a sharp sword, hiding behind alone without saying a word.
Nong Yu is also a swordsman. He could tell at a glance that this person was a swordsman and his strength was not weak. He couldn''t help but ask Han Shizhong: "The slave in this palace is extremely dignified, probably not an ordinary slave, right?"
"Your Highness, you really asked the right person. If you ask other people, you may not recognize him. The last general happened to see this person in the Battle of the Japanese.
This person''s name is Shangquan Nobuka, and he is a famous swordsman in Yingzhou. He was once a strong contender for the Japanese sword saint. After the fall of the country, he would rather die than surrender, so he was reduced to a slave. Unexpectedly, he was also among the three thousand Japanese slaves who were dowed. ”
After the fall of Japan, there were many Japanese people who could not accept the fall of the country and were unwilling to surrender. Nobuka Shangzuka was just one of them.
Hearing that Shangquan Nobuka actually competed for the Japanese Sword Saint of Japan, Nongyu knew that the other party was a capable person, and he also thought of conquering this person.
Han Shizhong was naturally very dissatisfied with this. After all, if Shangquan Xingang was really so easy to convince, he would have surrendered long ago. Why should Nongyu''s first-class female liar recover and conquer him?
But when Han Shizhong reorganized the 500 Guards, 1,000 Southern Army, and 500 Japanese Slave Army, and was about to take a boat north, he found that Nong Yu was already on the ship and was wearing bright silver armor, and the sword-bearing guard beside her was Shangquan Nobuka.
"Your Highness, your princess, are you..."
Han Shizhong was shocked and could not believe that Princess Nongyu had really conquered Shangquan Xingang.
Nong Yu smiled and said, "In the future, Mr. Shangquan will be the guard of my palace."
Shangquan Nobuka stood with a sword in his arms. He would rather die than surrender to Qin. After all, the Qin Dynasty was the culprit of the destruction of Japan, but the Qin princess seemed to be able to see through people''s hearts. With some temptation, his dead heart was revived, so he was going to play with him first. If this princess couldn''t satisfy him, she would be escaping.
"Set off."
After Han Shizhong gave the order, he led the generals of Nongyu, Qin Jing, Mengke, Shangquan Xingang and other generals, as well as two thousand Qinnan Japanese troops to form a mixed army, and took a naval ship north. It took only one day to reach the Jiuzhen Sea and landed near Wugong City.
As Nong Yu and Kan Ze expected, Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan''s Jingnan reinforcements had indeed arrived a long time ago, just hid and waited for the fighter jet.
Under Yang Xiuqing''s layer-by-layer defense tactics, the Ruan Yue coalition forces successively broke through the camps on the surface, but when they faced Wugong City, they were already tired, but they did not take any rest. The continuous attacks continued for days, which further encouraged the fatigue of the entire army.
Seeing that his tactics of the exhausted army were successful, Yang Xiuqing decisively launched a counterattack against the Ruan Yue coalition.
Ruan Yue''s coalition did not know that Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan''s reinforcements had arrived. They were naturally overjoyed to see Yang Xiuqing take the initiative to fight, but they did not expect Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan to come out at the most critical moment.
Ruan Yue''s coalition was stunned. Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Han Shizhong led two thousand troops to participate in the battle in time and directly penetrated Yang Xiuqing''s central army.
Although Yang Xiuqing''s central army was large, after the **** battle with the Ruan Yue coalition, it had become a tired army.
On the other hand, the Qin army had high morale, especially the Japanese slave army. In order to regain freedom, they used life-threatening fighting style, killing the Chu army.
Yang Xiuqing''s younger brother, Yang Fuqing, the assistant king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, said to Yang Xiuqing with a bitter look after being defeated by Han Shizhong: "Brother, please retreat quickly. If you are late, you will not be able to escape."
Yang Xiuqing seemed to be a gambler who could not afford to lose, and roared with red eyes: "No, no, victory is right in front of me, Yang Xiuqing, will never retreat..."
