From space to the world, it takes trillions of years
Chapter 77 Borrowing Troops
The newly enthroned 17th generation grandson of Taizu will establish the reign title of Xuanping next year, but he is still using the reign title of the previous emperor.
The chaos in various states across the country did not subside after the new emperor ascended the throne.
The tug-of-war between the imperial court and the rebellious princes was once again at a stalemate. The official army had many strong warriors, but the rebel leader was also a post-natal eighth-level warrior.
The rebels have more people and are roughly the same level of elite troops, so it is natural that they will not be able to defeat them for a long time.
The only thing that suffered was the people under his rule. The military discipline of both sides was similar, burning, killing and looting were common occurrences, and killing innocent people to claim credit was also done occasionally.
The new emperor, who had just taken over Da Ning, was in trouble both internally and externally, but he came up with a brilliant idea.
The two countries of Daning and Daliang have been friendly for generations, and there are many intermarriages between the royal families.
There was a concubine in the palace of Emperor Tianshun, who was the emperor's concubine's daughter from Daliang.
When the third prince usurped the throne, most of the previous emperor's concubines were buried with him. The daughter of Emperor Liang was one of the few survivors.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that she only has two eldest princesses.
However, as the 17th generation grandson of Taizu, the new emperor was very different from the branch of Emperor Tianshun and was not familiar with Daliang at all.
How can we persuade them to come to our aid without posing a threat? You know, it is difficult to invite gods, and it is even more difficult to send them away.
After careful consideration, he first visited the daughter of Emperor Liang with great fanfare and stated his purpose.
Afterwards, Emperor Liang's daughter agreed to write a letter to tell her nephew that her aunt's husband's family was in trouble and needed military support.
Conditions and sincerity were also offered. For every thousand troops sent, 30,000 taels of silver would be offered, and the time limit was tentatively set at one year.
A warrior in the early stage of acquired martial arts is equivalent to one thousand soldiers, a warrior in the middle stage is equivalent to three thousand, and a warrior in the acquired stage is equivalent to seven thousand.
The king of a country asked for help from a woman from a neighboring country and asked her motherland to send troops to help.
This is undoubtedly a great humiliation for others.
But for the new emperor, whose birth was not very noble, this little face was worth more than anything else if it could save the country from danger.
The envoy set out with the letter from the daughter of Emperor Liang and the official letter of credence.
In February of the following year, the messenger finally brought back news that reinforcements from Liang State were right behind them and would arrive soon.
It is said that Emperor Liang sent an army of 50,000 troops across the 800-li Chengshui River, which was a huge move.
Emperor Da Ning was overjoyed and felt that the burden on his shoulders was lightened a lot at once.
Recently, rebellions have been rising in the country. The bandits from all over the country who were beaten so hard in the past are now attacking cities and strongholds with great momentum.
Especially since he ascended the throne, the court lost its first battle in the south, and two of the nine warriors from the clan house who came out of seclusion were killed at once.
There were also many complaints in the court, and some ministers even secretly criticized him, saying that they should not have helped him to take the position in the first place.
The 50,000-strong army was composed of the best of the best, including dozens of warriors. This was a force that could determine the fate of the world at a critical moment.
But once the excitement wore off, he began to doubt himself again.
Who are these so many troops here to deal with?
At this time, the war between Daning and the rebels had entered a fierce stage. Apart from a small number of county soldiers and brave men who guarded the capital and suppressed local rebellion, there was not much force left for defense.
If these 50,000 troops had any ill intentions, he would have no room to resist.
Even if he just stayed there and didn't leave, Daning was trembling with fear but had no way out.
But now that we are here, we can't ask them to go back. If we show our weakness, Daning's kingdom will be in even greater danger.
It's a sunny day in March, and the spring breeze blows across the wide river.
More than ten boats, hundreds of feet long, were lined up in a row.
Each boat carried thousands of soldiers and civilians. The largest one was over 200 feet long and had over 10,000 soldiers and horses on board.
With so many warships, ordinary spirit beasts dare not approach easily.
The captain of the fleet was a seventh-level acquired martial artist, born into a branch of the Daliang royal family.
The Emperor of Daliang was not very familiar with his illegitimate aunt and had only met her twice as far as he could remember.
One time was the late emperor’s 60th birthday, and he met many palace ladies with his father, who was the crown prince at the time.
The second time was when his aunt got married. As the crown prince, he followed and watched from afar.
It's no exaggeration to say that we have never met before, so there is no feeling between us.
He had no interest in the land and people of Daning.
Chengshui is so vast, so vast that it can extinguish any king’s desire to expand his territory.
Rather than the unrealistic idea of occupying other countries, he would rather take the opportunity to plunder some treasures.
Due to drought and war, trade income on the border has decreased, and this is a way to make up for the losses.
Daning is in civil strife and Daliang is strong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As for the Liang State's generations of friendship, it was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Even if Daning managed to recover, he wouldn't be able to come and take revenge because of the clear water.
At that time, they will definitely try to calm down the situation and remarry as a sign of goodwill.
The commander-in-chief has received the order from His Majesty to preserve his strength. He can help Da Ning quell the rebellion, but he cannot lose too many soldiers.
As for how much treasure he could plunder, it all depended on him. As long as he satisfied the emperor, promotion would not be a problem.
Daning also sent tens of thousands of troops to welcome them.
Although most of the troops have been deployed to the battlefield in the south, they still need to gather more people to strengthen their strength.
Five miles outside the city of Qi'an County, dozens of people were riding on fine horses, and behind both sides were large black armies.
This is one of the six counties in the north affected by drought. The suburbs are already filled with yellow dust and no one is living there.
The leader of Daning was a eunuch of the sixth level of acquired cultivation, whose cultivation level was second only to the emperor’s personal eunuch in the palace.
When the general of Liang State saw that the visitor was a eunuch, he felt unhappy for a moment, but he did not react immediately.
Until I saw the more than 10,000 so-called troops of Daning, only the armor in the front was still shiny. Most of the people in the formation were ragged, old and weak, and I couldn't help but sneer.
The old eunuch is over sixty years old this year. He was an old man who entered the palace at the same time as Emperor Tianshun.
The country had suffered such a disaster that even the army that was going to welcome the neighboring country was in a state of disarray. He couldn't help feeling sad.
After the people of Liang State whispered and laughed at each other for a while, the commander finally asked them to be quiet and sent soldiers to deliver the documents.
Fortunately, His Majesty had already anticipated such a situation and told him not to get angry and to compromise.
Daning's dilapidated house can no longer withstand any more storms.
After verifying the documents, the eunuch took out the prepared certificate, which allowed the Liang army to pass unhindered on the official road.
The Liang general who was at the eighth level of the acquired realm cracked his whip and the army marched into the city.
The old eunuch didn't understand what was going on, so he immediately sent someone to chase after him to get the news.
Upon learning that the other party was going to set up camp in the city, he spoke in a very tough tone and immediately smashed the seal in his hand to the ground.
But when he remembered His Majesty's instructions, he slumped back on the horse again.
After struggling for a long time, he finally agreed to the other party's request. At this time, the Liang army was already knocking at the gate, as if they were going to force their way in if they disagreed.
On the second day, tens of thousands of Liang troops left the county city, abandoned this weak force, and headed straight for the heart of Daning.
