Yi Ji does not have a lot of troops in her hands, only Jiang Daifu's 8,000 private soldiers, Xi Sima's 3,000 Huben, the 2,000 Huben that she took in on the night of the chaos, and the 3,000 Huben defending the palace, for a total of only sixteen thousand men in her hands.
Now the situation is unstable, Ripple Ji dare not issue an imperial edict to let the feudal lords of various places to bring the Huben to the king's capital to work for the king, the soldiers and horses stationed at the borders are considered to be under the command of the royal court, but Ripple Ji can't recall them back to the king's capital, if she does, the diatribe that reveals that she has colluded with the lord of Tang will be tantamount to admitting it of her own accord.
Ri Ji originally agreed with the lord of the Tang Kingdom that after the completion of the king's capital, the Tang Kingdom would be able to withdraw its troops. In this way, the Wu border is not a threat, to intercept the army can return to the capital, the capital of the army can be greatly increased. But now more than Zheng Yuming this variable, disrupted the Yi Ji's plan, the Tang State Lord still have to continue to pretend in the border, for this, Yi Ji in addition to the cession of the East China Sea, in addition to the Tang State also have to pay a large sum of money, so as to make up for the consumption of the Tang State army.
Ri Ji in order to increase the strength of their own hands, those who saw the beacon fire to bring troops to the king of the bannermen, after being persuaded by Taifu into the king's capital, the bannermen were placed under house arrest, and the five or six thousand Huben they brought were received by Ri Ji, and later into the king's capital condolences bannermen did not bring troops into the capital, exempted from the fate of the house arrest, but was also asked to pay money to contribute to the effort.
After Duke Yong succeeded to the throne, Yi Ji issued a recruitment order in the name of the King of Wu, and forcibly recruited people around the royal capital as auxiliary soldiers. In this way, Ripple Ji had put together more than 30,000 Huben and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers.
The three thousand Huben of the royal palace and eight thousand private soldiers of Jiang Dafu stayed in the royal capital to guard the area, the other twenty thousand Huben, led by the West Sima, went to Ulsan to crush the area, and the auxiliary soldiers were divided into thirty thousand to follow to transport the grain and provisions, which was called the army of fifty thousand. Yi Ji and Jiang Dafu estimated that there were at most 8,000 troops in the Ulsan area, 50,000 versus 8,000, how can we eliminate Zheng Yuming, the fake prince hidden trouble.
"Great General, when you go to Ulsan to crusade, you should first destroy Xihou." Ri Ji pointed to the fiefdom of Xihou on the topographical map of Wu and secretly ordered Xi Sima, who had been promoted to Great General after Duke Yong succeeded to the throne.
"Western Marquis?" Xi Sima was a bit puzzled, the Western Marquis gave off the impression that he was slow and weak and didn't cause any trouble, so why did Ripple Ji want to go and exterminate this soft persimmon first?
"As the oldest member of the royal family, the Western Marquis does not come to the royal court to offer condolences to the late king, and the new king succeeds to the throne without seeing a pilgrimage to congratulate him, which is a great breach of etiquette!"
The Western Marquis and the Northern Marquis did not follow the edict to come to the royal capital, and some of the watchful bannermen followed suit, which made Ripple Ji angry, she wanted to make an example out of the Western Marquis, and the Western Marquis was the monkey she chose to make an example out of.
"Obey the order! I will definitely let the other princes and daughters see what happens when they don't follow etiquette." Thinking that he understood Ripple Ji's intention in doing so, Xisima hastily accepted the order.
"After destroying the Western Marquis, you can resupply the food and grass on the spot." Yi Ji added with a smile. Pacifying the submissive nobles and compensating Tang for their military expenses had already strained her finances so much that the properties of those disobedient feudal lords had become her budget.
"Empress Dowager Wang is wise!" Xi Sima had admiration in the bottom of his heart, the Western Marquis fiefdom is on the west side between Azure Mountain and the royal capital, as long as you turn west a bit on the way to Azure Mountain, it's equal to attacking along the way, Ripple Ji's arrangement like this can not only take the Western Marquis to deter the neutrals but also alleviate the pressure on the logistics, and collecting money from the Western Marquis House can also replenish the finances, it's really a three in one move.
While Sishima mobilized his troops and raised provisions to prepare for the expedition, the general mobilization for the expedition also began in the Ulsan region.
After the crusade diatribe issued, Zheng Yuming riding a tiger, not only for his and Chu Chao Hui's future, Gong Ziguang's great hatred, is for the development of the South Port and the Valley, Zheng Yuming also have to stand up, he this fake Gongzi is done.
After the royal secret agent sent back the news that the Western Secretary was preparing to send troops to Ulsan, Zheng Yuming held a meeting at the Ulsan government house, attended by the noble officials of Dacheng and the hussar generals, Wu Da and Yu Kui, and the large and small bannermen who had seen the diatribe and defected to the city.
The news of the 50,000-strong army pressing in from the royal capital worried the various parties attending the meeting.
Wei Shen expanded the number of Huben in a year only more than a thousand, plus the original 5,000 Huben, only 6,000 people, the most costly financial expenditure to raise troops, the small Ulsan area to raise 6,000 Huben soldiers is already the limit.
Chu Chao Hui's reported private soldiers are 3,500, of which 500 are cavalry, but the nobles of Dacheng City thought that Chu Chao Hui was trying to show off and made the auxiliary soldiers into official soldiers, none of them expected that the auxiliary soldiers, which they thought could only be porters, were not only more powerful than the Wangdu Huben in terms of weaponry, but also higher than the Wangdu Huben in terms of combat ability.
The other large and small feudal lords who came to Da Cheng to serve brought a total of 2,000 Huben, plus the 1,000 Huben of the royal capital that the Hussar General turned against, and the several hundred private soldiers of the nobles of Da Cheng, the total strength of the Ulsan army was only 14,000, which was less than half of what Ripple Ji had at her disposal.
The walls of the royal capital city were tall and strong, Ripple Ji could defend the city within the royal capital with one against ten, while Ulsan Da Cheng could not, the walls were too short and the trenches were too shallow, as long as there were double the number of troops, the city could be attacked. Ripple Ji dared to leave a small number of troops to defend the city, Dacheng, if defending the city in a battle, contrary to Ripple Ji, needed to set up a large number of troops.
"Chu thinks that instead of defending the city, it is better to return the attack at the border of Ulsan, where the army only needs to stand guard and wait for the enemy."
Chu Chao Hui nodded to the edge of the Ulsan fiefdom, the edge only has a road to Ulsan, blocking the West Sima there is more favorable than defending the city, and the road entrance is sparsely populated around the area, making a battlefield will not harm the people, and the economy of the Ulsan region will not be damaged by the war.
"Not bad, first eliminate the strength of the adulterous consort here before swinging our troops north and pushing straight for the royal capital." The Hussar General nodded his head, his current health was not in good condition, but it was his two grandsons who had recovered under Jiang Gui's medical treatment.
"Chu Sima don't worry, Shen will do his best to do the logistics right." Wei Shen, who had slimmed down considerably, promised.
After Gong Ziguang's death, Wei Shen did not leave Gong Ziguang's casket for three days, until the Hussar General went to ask for confirmation of Zheng Yuming's identity. At that time, Wei Shen firmly affirmed that Zheng Yuming was Gong Zi Ming. Also from then on, Wei Shen began to pull himself together, busy day and night to prepare grain and munitions supplies, to prepare for the Northern Expedition, just more than half a month, Wei Shen's hair and beard has become snow white.
"Since all of you have agreed to the battle plan, now now on behalf of the Azure Mountain Monarch, this Duke announces that Wei Ren and Chu Chao Hui will be the rebel generals and lead their men to meet the battle, and Guo Si will lead the Huben of the feudal lords from all over the world to lead the rear of the battle." Guo Si was Guo Huben, he was ranked fourth in his family and his name was Si.
"The one thousand Huben that I led will be under General Chu's command." The Hussar Great General suggested that his health was just not good enough to lead the army into battle himself, and he didn't want the 1,000 Huben he had led to shrink behind Wei Ren's and Chu Chao Hui's armies. The Great General Hussar thought that the Huben he brought were the elite and were more valiant than the Ulsan Huben.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaohui hurriedly stepped forward and thanked him, "I thank the Great General for his regard."
In fact, Hussar General does not export the Wangdu Huben delivered to Chu Chao Hui, Chu Chao Hui will also think of getting this army, Wangdu Huben in Nangbu disembarked, Chu Chao Hui deliberately arranged Huben in Nangbu military camp camp camping, is stored in this mind.
"May the two generals triumph soon, and the spirit of Ulsan-kun rest in peace soon."
The Hussar General placed his hopes in the crusading army that by destroying Yi Ji, his family's revenge would be avenged, and Duke Guang's coffin would be ready for burial.
The night before the army's move, in a bedroom lit up in a courtyard in the Ulsan government's mansion, Chu Chao-hui is polishing his Type 92 pistol, which requires frequent maintenance.
"Armor, dagger, sleeve crossbow, sword, what else is missing?" Zheng Yuming counted the things that Chu Chao Hui would be equipped with tomorrow.
"Still missing you." Chu Chao Hui polished his gun and put it down, walked to Jung Yuming's back and hugged him, tomorrow he would have to lead the army to the Ulsan Edge Road crossing to set up camp.
"Why don't I march with the army tomorrow?" Although Zheng Yuming acted confident in defeating West Sima in the meeting, he actually had quite a lot of worries in his heart, after all, there were only a total of 14,000 troops in Ulsan, and these troops could not all be sent out to intercept West Sima yet, and a small amount of troops would need to be left to defend Dacheng and Nambu, so as not to leave the rear defenses too empty.
"It's better for you to stay in the rear to hold down the fort, the army's grain and provisions need to be dispatched and provided by you." Chu Chao Hui's hand was touching Zheng Yuming's body.
Instead of conscripting the people as cheap auxiliary soldiers in the Ulsan region, the reserve soldiers recruited into the army were formed into a logistic unit, and they were used to transport the army's supply wagons. In addition, Jung Yul-ming took a cooperative approach to transporting grain and grass with reliable merchants, who organized their own footmen to follow the army to help transport the army's grain, and Jung Yul-ming paid merchants a very reasonable amount.
It was now the time of agricultural idleness, when the peasants were idle and had nothing to do, and the merchants had recruited enough footmen in the remote districts, encouraged by their encouragement and tempted by their wages.
"I've prepared enough military supplies to support 50,000 troops for a year." Zheng Yuming grabbed Chu Chao Hui's hand that was getting no lower.
"Yuming, give it to me today, okay?" Chu Chao Hui wrenched Jung Yuming's body so that the two were facing each other.
"Chao Hui, I," Jung Yuming hesitated, not knowing why, as long as Chu Chao Hui wanted to do the last step, his body naturally resisted, in Jung Yuming's imagination, the subordinate of male to male sex would suffer from anal fissure.
"Alas, if there is an eventuality during the engagement" Chu Chao Hui today vowed to eat Zheng Yuming dry, otherwise there is really an eventuality, in the battlefield bye bye, that can be a loss.
"What nonsense!" Zheng Yuming's eyes glared, asking Chu Chaohui to take back the unlucky words.
"Today, just follow me." Chu Chao Hui kept kissing Zheng Yuming, and a pair of hands also lit a fire in the sensitive parts of Zheng Yuming's body.
"Uh-huh" Zheng Yuming's body is when the blood is sufficient, plus tomorrow Chu Chao Hui will have to rush to the battlefield, the battlefield changes a thousand times, not until the final victory, no one can guarantee that they are safe and sound. Now Chu Chao Hui insisted on begging, Zheng Yuming pondered, that the last step and then how painful, always will not have Chu Chao Hui on the battlefield to face the real swords and knives as dangerous.
Chu Chao Hui felt that Zheng Yuming body softened no longer resist, but could not help but be overjoyed, immediately picked up Zheng Yuming on the soft collapse.
As the clothes were peeled off one by one by Chu Chao Hui, Zheng Yuming began to get nervous, and his two hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
"Yuming, relax, I won't hurt you." Chu Chao Hui kissed tenderly, today he wanted his lover to have an unforgettable and passionate night.
Chu Chao Hui's gentle and patient kiss, let Zheng Yuming's body gradually relax, his two hands slowly ring Chu Chao Hui's naked back. Chu Chao Hui's body is strong and healthy, his skin is full of tension, Zheng Yuming caresses it with a slight jealousy, this is the body of a man.
Chu Chao Hui saw that Zheng Yuming was no longer tense, a finger slowly entered Zheng Yuming's rear acupuncture point, and Zheng Yuming's relaxed body immediately tensed up.
"See, it doesn't hurt at all, Yuming can accommodate it completely!" Chu Chao Hui kissed Jung Yuming deeply while diverting his attention from his rear pussy, and the fingers that entered his rear pussy gently pumped and expanded.
Zheng Yuming was kissed by Chu Chaohui dazed, the strange feeling in the back hole, although never before, but really did not feel the pain, his head with a high IQ is now lack of oxygen, Chu Chaohui a finger is even thicker, but also can not be compared with the desire full of lower body, not to mention Chu Chaohui's desire after filling with blood thicker more scary, where is a finger can be compared to the same.
Zheng Yuming's action of not resisting at all made Chu Chao Hui's heart happy, and after Zheng Yuming adapted to the feeling of having a foreign object in his back hole, Chu Chao Hui put in two fingers.
Because Chu Chao Hui gradually, in his three fingers into the inside for expansion, Zheng Yuming in addition to swelling and numbness, did not feel uncomfortable, there is a different kind of pleasure. Zheng Yuming think this sex is not too terrible after, began to close his eyes to feel Chu Chao Hui stroking body brought pleasure.
Three years after being transported to Da Qin by the blue light, Zheng Yuming's short hair was long to his shoulders, and his black hair was draped over the blue pillow, lining his complexion with a shocking whiteness, reflecting more and more on his eyebrows like ink paintings, his face like a peach petal, and the whole person seemed to be like a work of art, which could only be described as a work of God.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yuming felt Chu Chao Hui suddenly stop moving and couldn't help but open his eyes, realizing that Chu Chao Hui's eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Yuming, I love you!" Chu Chao Hui gently caresses Zheng Yuming's face, this night, this work of God is his, not only today is, afterward will always be, Chu Chao Hui full of tenderness are accumulated to the following point, he is ready to give his lover an unforgettable night, to have a perfect physical and mental communication with his lover.
Just as Chu Chao Hui was poised to strike, there was an unceremonious knock on their bedroom door.
