Chapter 678 Preparing for War
Xiao Changche, dressed in military uniform, stood on top of the city. The troops passing by the city all cheered when they saw the man wearing a devil mask on the city. Voice.
With the arrival of heavy-duty troops such as Ding Ergou and Cai Ming, she finally completed the final assembly of the army.
There are six Zhechong Prefectures arriving in Yangguan one after another, with a total of 18,000 people. In addition to the 12,000 people from the four Zhechong Prefectures brought by Gu Xiaoman, there are now a total of 12,000 Zhechong Prefecture soldiers in Yangguan. Thirty thousand people.
In addition, there are the thousands of standing troops that have just arrived.
The army of the Beiting Protectorate wanted to enter the pass to fight. This was a strategic adjustment after Li Dachui achieved major results in Jiangnan.
When Li Dachui first entered the Pass, the Beiting Protectorate had no strategic preparations for entering the Pass immediately.
In the view of Mao Daxian and others, the current Beiting Protectorate should dig deep holes, accumulate food widely, and first digest the fruitful results and huge burden brought by the destruction of Beiyuan, and this process , it can be as little as two or three years, or as much as four or five years.
When Gu Xiaoman was sent to Yangguan, it was actually a standard defensive posture.
The Beiting Protectorate is worried that Linghuye will take advantage of this juncture to suddenly kill him.
Linghuye is extremely familiar with Guanwai. Even outside Guanwai now, there are still many Linghuye supporters.
Anyone who has been operating outside the customs for decades will have a lot of followers, and with Linghuye’s urine, these smart people outside the customs do not believe that he is not here Leave a few hands secretly.
These hidden tricks are usually invisible to you, but if they jump out at you at a critical moment, you will definitely not be able to bear it.
But the plan could never keep up with the changes.
No one thought that Li Dachui's trip to the pass would actually cause such changes in the world's structure, and the major forces would rise and fall. , which made people dizzy, but also had to adjust their strategic arrangements hurriedly to deal with this drastic change.
March into the pass in advance to coordinate and support Li Dachui's major achievements in Jiangnan.
Although the newly born Eight Jiangnan Towns defeated the Chu State’s first encirclement and suppression campaign, Li Dachui also successfully provoked internal conflicts in the Chu State and plunged it into a civil war. But at the same time, for Chang’an, the Eight Jiangnan Towns The town has also become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh. If we don't capture it quickly, we are afraid that we will be stabbed in the back by the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River during the decisive battle with the outside world.
In fact, this is not a possibility, but it will definitely happen.
Of course, the weak Eight Towns of Jiangnan cannot be a powerful opponent of Chang'an.
In order to preserve the fruits of victory of the Eight Towns in the South of the Yangtze River and allow them time to develop their power to the south and strive to strengthen themselves, the Beiting Protectorate had no choice but to mobilize troops to Yangguan in a large scale. Even Xiao Changche directly Arrive at Yangguan and take charge.
Regardless of whether the Beiting Protectorate really wants to fight, Chang'an must face it seriously.
Soldiers are deceitful. You can never guess what your opponent is thinking, so you can only be prepared for everything.
This is indeed true. After Xiao Changche arrived at Yangguan, the Chang'an regime controlled by Linghuye immediately made a targeted response.
But such a major strategic adjustment is also an extremely important test for the Beiting Protectorate.
To use one sentence to describe the attitude within the Beiting Protectorate towards the fact that Li Dachui captured eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River and regained the Queen Mother of Southern Chu Jiang Qian, it would be pain and happiness.
Happily, their leader completed an extremely important move under almost impossible circumstances. The fall of this chess piece made Li Dachui's cause of unifying the world a big step forward.
What is painful is that such a drastic strategic transformation requires the Beiting Protectorate to withstand great economic and military pressure.
It was originally promised that those soldiers who had been fighting for many years could go back and have a good rest for two years. However, when everyone returned home, their buttocks were not yet warm, and the recruitment order came again.
Just say that everyone is annoyed or not?
The big guys really didn’t get much benefit from the battle to destroy Bei Yuan.
Since everyone is unhappy, in order to appease the morale of the military, you have to make compensation elsewhere, and the most effective method of compensation is naturally to send money. Money was tight in the first place, but as a result, money was squandered.
So now the Beiting Protectorate is anxious that it is short of money.
This is why Li Dachui tried his best to lure aristocratic families like Jiang Chong out of the country when he was scheming against Chu State.
Even if Jiang Chong offended Jiang Qian severely, Li Dachui would not care.
After all, Jiang Chong could inject millions of taels of silver into the Beiting Protectorate at once. It was impossible for Li Dachui to turn a blind eye to such a large influx of living water.
Of course, there are some people who experience another kind of pain.
For example, Xiao Changche.
At this moment, she was standing on the city tower with a frosty look on her face, while Gu Xiaoman and An Xuan beside her were also as silent as a cicada.
The reason is simple,
Xiao Changche was in a very bad mood.
Since arriving at Yangguan, her temper has not improved.
You guys have never seen a smile on her face.
Think about it,
Li Dachui found another wife for himself without her knowledge, and in order to protect the safety of this little daughter-in-law, she, a grown-up woman, My son was still in confinement, so he had to brave the wind and cold and run all the way to Yangguan to scare the enemy.
If any woman is involved in such a thing, she must be unhappy in her heart.

But Xiao Changche is not an ordinary housewife. She also has another identity, the deputy governor of the Beiting Protectorate.
As Li Dachui's wife, she can be angry, angry, and petty, but as the deputy governor and second-in-command of the Beiting Protectorate, she has to consider her own interests above the overall situation. The stance of speaking and acting.
Such a contradiction appears.
In the eyes of many people who know this but don't know why, it is quite magnanimous for Xiao Changche to be sitting in Yangguan and studying how to organize the army to fight every day.
These days, it is not uncommon for men to find concubines, and there are even older women who help men take concubines. But the problem is that the person Li Dachui found this time is too surprising.
Empress Dowager Jiang Qian of Southern Chu!
Such a character gives everyone a headache just thinking about it.
For example, Mao Daxian's first reaction after hearing the news was to collapse his chair.
Marrying a virtuous wife, keeping concubines and seducing,
Xiao Changche is naturally virtuous, but the question is, is it possible that Jiang Qian, the Queen Mother of Southern Chu, is a slut?
Although I stumbled upon Li Dachui, how hard it was for him to resist in Xiangyang back then, and when he returned to China and played with people like Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi, was he an ordinary person?
What's more, he is still an innate master.
Mao Daxian is not worried about the present, but the future.
Li Dachui already has a tigress at home, and now a female dragon has arrived. In the future, the backyard will be filled with roars of dragons and tigers.
Gu Xiaoman usually doesn’t approach Xiao Changche now.
Because Xiao Changche was full of evil and could not vent it on ordinary people, nor could he vent it on people like An Xuan, so he became the biggest punching bag.
Who has the closest relationship with the young master?
Five days ago, I was beaten by Xiao Changche because I forgot to close the door for Xiao Changche when I went out. Yesterday, I was beaten by Xiao Changche again for chirping while eating together. After a meal, Gu Xiaoman was about to cry without tears.
The young master is carefree and happy outside, but he is beaten and suffers for him at home!
There is no justice!
