Chapter 156 - Information
Zhao Chen came to Southern Zheng on the first day of November, and when he arrived, he prepared a place for Zheyue Ru to eat and live.
When November fifteenth, Zhao Chen received accurate information, the Nvzhen began to gather in the north!
When November 25 arrived, Zhao Chen received news that the real Second Crown Prince, Wanyan Zongwang, had already arrived at the Residence of He Dong Pu Prefecture.
This Wanyan Zongwang was in a much higher position than Wan Yanzong who had been killed by him! Wan Yanaguda had many sons, and the most outstanding one among them was the eldest son, who only died fighting in the battle against the elder son Li Guang! As the Second Crown Prince, Wanyan Zongwang was in fact the current leader of the children! Wanyan Zongwang had also started an army with Wan Yanaguda, and until now, he had also obtained unrivalled merit points!
The first place holder of the Nvzhen's military achievements was Wanyan Zonghan, and the second was Wanyan Zongwang!
In the second invasion of Kaifeng, the Nvzhen had always been Wanyan Zonghan as the commander-in-chief, while Wanyan Zongwang was the other one.
Originally, after the destruction of the Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zongwang had already returned to the Nvzhen's capital city in April last year! But now, he had actually come all the way to the east of the river. It seemed like he was going to personally lead a great battle!
"How many soldiers and horses has Nvzhen gathered?" Zhao Chen called Wang Shu, Yue Fei, Kang An and the others over.
"Your Majesty, there is already a huge army of a hundred thousand men in the east of the river! Fifty thousand out of these hundred thousand armies are female True Warriors, and the remaining fifty thousand are warriors from various families, called New Dependencies! " Wang Shu said.
The army composition of Nvzhen was divided into three parts. The first was a pure female True Warrior, but their numbers were few. The second was an army made up of warriors from other families, called New Dependencies! The number of New Dependencies was several times that of the female True Army, but their fighting strength was far inferior to the female True Warriors! Besides these, there was also the slave army! There were many slave armies in the Nvzhen, but the majority of them were working hard labor. They did not have any weapons in their hands, and would use them as cannon fodder even if they had to fight in the battlefield!
"A huge army of one hundred thousand is no small number! When they attacked Kai Feng, it was only two hundred thousand! " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, they are still gathering troops! I think they'll be able to gather more than one hundred and fifty thousand troops in the end! After receiving the news, Wanyan Loushi seemed to have headed towards the east side of the river too! It is very likely that Wanyan Loushi will also follow Wanyan Zongwang south! " Wang Shu said.
"If Wanyan Loushi were to head south, it would be beneficial for us to counterattack the Guan Shan!" Zhao Chen said.
Wanyan Loushi was an ordinary general of the Nvzhen, and he was currently in charge of peace! If Zhao Chen wanted to counterattack the Guan Shan, he definitely could not let Chang An go! Without Wanyan Loushi here, the Nvzhen's strength would definitely decrease greatly!
"Other than that, the Military Intelligence Department also received information that the female true Fourth Prince Wan Yanzongbi had gathered over twenty thousand female true army in Hebei but they did not seem to be on the same path as Wanyan Zongwang!" Wang Shu said.
"Very good, pay close attention to them! Also, ask Li Gang to transport all the food to the Dazhang Pass, inform Zhao Zhe and the others, and have them prepare for war! When Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi, Wan Yanzongbi and the rest head south, we will also be out of Dazhang Pass to fight with the true lady! " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, do you really have the confidence to defeat them?" Wang Shu was still suspicious.
"Of course! The Imperial Guards and the Managed have been training for half a year, and I believe that they are completely different from before. Zhao Chen said.
However, Wang Shu frowned, he felt that Zhao Chen was being too "conceited"! In his opinion, although this soldier trained by the infantry exercise code was powerful, she was still far off from the Nvzhen!
At this moment, in the distant prefectural mansion in the eastern part of the river, the public yamen had now become the palace of the female True Second Crown Prince!
"The winter in the Changbai Mountains is much colder than here! Here, you can hardly taste the winter! " After a long while, Wanyan Zongwang finally laughed.
"Second Crown Prince, the Chinese live in a warm place. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Changbai Mountains!" Behind him stood a tall and skinny Nvzhen. It was Wanyan Loushi!
"Only in a world of ice and snow can a true warrior grow! Han Chinese, they live in such a place, of course they are cowardly and incompetent! "The Chidans are in their north, so they are stronger than the Han. We are in their north, so we are stronger than the Chidans!" Wanyan Zongwang said.
Towards his nonsense, the Nvzhen behind him all nodded in agreement!
Amongst them, there was a Nvzhen with a full face of whiskers, and long blade scars on her face. She looked terrifying and sinister looking, it was Wan Yanyinshuke who went out with Wan Yanzong!
After Wan Yanzong died as a support, Wan Yanyinshuke naturally suffered a punishment of his own! Now, Wan Yanyinshuke was no longer a centurion, but a mere Chieftain! However, if he was able to obtain victory in battle, according to the rules of the Nvzhen, he could be promoted to centurion!
"Second Crown Prince, we have gathered a hundred thousand strong army, we can go south anytime now!" Wanyan Loushi said.
"That's right, our target this time is still Kaifeng!" Last year, we pulled out from Kaifeng, but who would have thought that the Chinese Emperor Kang would once again occupy Kaifeng! The Nvzhen has a large territory, we don't care about this little bit of territory. Anyway, all of the things inside and the population have all been taken by us! This time, I will defeat it again and then head south. I will take down the entire Jiangnan Province and destroy the entire Emperor Kang's little imperial court! " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Second Crown Prince, I heard that the current Kaifeng Prefecture Lord Zong Ze is quite smart! Furthermore, Zong Ze is known as the strongest warrior in the north, a strong martial artist, we cannot underestimate him! " Wanyan Loushi said.
"The Chinese, with the exception of a few people, are not enough! Even if Zong Ze is powerful, but the Chinese army is too weak, they are still not our match! " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Second Crown Prince, do you think the little Chinese emperor of the Middle Han Area will take the chance to attack us from the north?" Wanyan Loushi asked again.
"Definitely not!" Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Second Crown Prince is that sure?" Wanyan Loushi said.
"Haha, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty is only twelve years old. He is just a wet behind the ears brat, what's there to worry about? Furthermore, half a year ago, Zhe Keqiu was still in power. Even though the little emperor killed Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu still left behind a huge army of over a hundred thousand. If he dares to go north, isn't he afraid that the hundred thousand soldiers will take the opportunity to make trouble? " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"What Second Crown Prince said makes sense!" Wanyan Loushi nodded and said.
"Besides, that little emperor only has so many soldiers. Even if all of them come out and attack us, they won't be our match!" Our Nvzhen is invincible, we only need ten to twenty thousand people to defeat the hundred thousand Chinese Army! Thus, there was no need to worry at all! Wo Liyan, you will also lead your twenty thousand strong army to the south with me to conquer Kai Feng! " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"General's orders!" Wanyan Loushi said.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at Wan Yanyinshuke, and revealed a look of disgust! His brother died in the hands of the Chinese army, and Wan Yanyinshuke was by his side! The female really did Third Prince died, but her silver technique was still alive and well. This made Wanyan Zongwang exceptionally angry. Originally, when they were in Huining Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang had suggested for the female true Emperor to kill Wan Yanyinshuke, but Wan Yanwuqimai had not agreed, he had only lowered Wan Yanyinshuke by one level! At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang coldly said: "You can use silver, go to Chang An!"
Wan Yanyinshuke stood there in a daze. After a while, he asked: "Second Crown Prince, why did you let me go to Chang An?"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed coldly: "Wo Liyan, follow me south. There is only one living daughter left in Guan Shan, he is young, I am afraid she cannot take on the big responsibilities! You go to Chang An to assist Wan Yanhuonv! "
Wan Yanyinshuke opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but he knew that even if he refused, it would be useless! He could guess what Wanyan Zongwang was thinking about. This time, if they fought in the south, they would definitely be able to conquer the entire Central Plains, bihuai, and all the regions of Jiangnan. Wanyan Zongwang did not want him to gain merits, he did not want him to be promoted!
In the end, Wan Yanyinshuke could only clench his teeth and say: "General's life!"
"Get the army ready immediately! "In ten days, I will head south to Kaifeng!" Wanyan Zongwang shouted loudly.
The rest of the generals, including Wanyan Loushi, all nodded their heads in agreement!
In the Hebei area, the famous Jin Wushu of the later generations had already gathered twenty thousand troops!
Han Chang accompanied her at Jin Wushu's side!
Jin Wushu looked to the south, his eyes filled with excitement!
"We're going south again! This time, I will receive an unrivalled contribution, surpassing all my brothers! " Jin Wushu said.
"Fourth Prince, we suffered a huge loss last year at Dazhang Pass. I think we should take revenge!" Han Chang said.
"Foolish! What do you know? With the existence of Dazhang Pass and Monks in Middle Han Area, entering would be extremely difficult! Even if we take down the Dazhang Pass and the Monk Yuan, what will we do if the Chinese retreat to Sichuan? So right now, we still have to focus on Jiangnan, first we have to eliminate all of the Han people in Jiangnan, and then we can deal with the Han people in Middle Han Area! " Jin Wushu said.
Han Chang thought for a while before finally nodding!
"After recuperating for over a year, we can finally move again! Our Nvzhen's blades can be unsheathed again! This time, we will completely eliminate all of the Chinese, and let all of them truly perish! " Jin Wushu laughed.
Although Han Chang was also a Chinese, he did not feel any revulsion towards these words! He was different from ordinary Chinese. He was a Chinese man who grew up in Chidan, and later on, his father sided with the Nvzhen. He followed the Nvzhen as well. In his heart, there was no racial concept at all. He now even treated himself as a Nvzhen, and was proud of his woman!
"Your Highness, are we going to meet up with the Second Crown Prince from Hedong City? Just like last year, two sides attacked Kaifeng Mansion? " Han Chang said.
"Of course not! The Kaifeng Mansion only had a few Imperial Guards, what was there to fight? I wanted to go around Henan and go from Henan to the southeast. I didn't stop or attack the prefecture even if I met them. I just wanted to go all the way to Hangzhou! Without waiting for second brother to take Henan, I have already captured the Emperor of Han Dynasty alive. What do you think about this plan? " Jin Wushu said.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Han Chang praised.
This Jin Wushu was one of the most famous and outstanding female high-ranking officer in the future, after Wan Yanaguda, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and the rest left, he became the first female general! His insight and strategy were naturally not to be underestimated!
"When second brother goes south, he will attract all the eyes of the Chinese. That is when I will go south!" I only need 20,000 light riders to travel all the way to Hangzhou! Wait until we destroy the Emperor of Han Dynasty in Jiangnan, then we can gather the powers of the entire world to attack and occupy the Middle Han Area, and then we can eliminate another Emperor of Han Dynasty! " Jin Wushu laughed loudly.
