MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1044 Xiangyang City

   Chapter 1044 Xiangyang City

  Xiangyang City is a core city in the central part of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was also the boundary between the Great Jin and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When the Great Jin was not unified, the Zhong family army was stationed in Xiangyang and helped the Ji family resist the Northern Zhou Dynasty for many years.

Later, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Ye Shengping, and Xiangyang became a central city from a border city, and the Zhongjia Army also went north from Xiangyang to Yunzhou, but even so, Xiangyang was still regarded as an important military town. Before the Hanzhong Army and Ankang Army of the imperial court were not stationed in Xiangyang , Xiangyang also has more than 20,000 troops stationed there.

At this time, the Hanzhong army of 70,000 to 80,000 people plus Ankang's 40,000 people were stationed in Xiangyang. Together with the defenders of Xiangyang, this former border city of Jin has already had 150,000 horses, even more than the farmers stationed in that year. The number of people at the time of Yunzhou.

  Uncle Xie Jing had been living in a big mansion in Xiangyang for several months at this time. During these few months, the court sent Zhong Heng from the family to be his "deputy".

The imperial court sent a "deputy general" at this time, the intention of which is already very obvious, even Xie Jing himself can understand that this kind of family is here to fully take over the affairs in his hands. The name of the lieutenant is nothing more than the court giving him some face, and he didn't say it clearly.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yuan Zhao was still afraid that Xie Jing would not understand, so he wrote a letter to Xie Jing himself, in which he instructed his mother-in-law to listen more to Chong Heng's opinion. Although Xie Jing has no ability , but he is not too stupid. After receiving the letter from the emperor, he basically handed over all the affairs of the Hanzhong army, and he stayed in Xiangyang city to drink and listen to music, and just put on a name.

However, although Xie Jing is incompetent, but his spirit is very high. In the Taikang Dynasty, he even had the idea of ​​competing with Li Xin for a time. Although he is idle now, he is quite unhappy in his heart. He spends all day at home. I drank alcohol in my son, and often got drunk.

On this day, Xie Jing found a girl in Xiangyang City and brought it back to his house to drink and have fun. When he was three or four minutes drunk, a servant came to report and said, "General, General Chong Hengzhong. ask to see."

  Xie Jing was not happy at first, so he snorted when he heard the words: "Why did he come to find me?"

   "Looks like... there seems to be military affairs to discuss."

  Xie Jing heard the words, pulled out the chest of the beauty in his arms, pushed the girl aside, and said lightly, "Since there are military affairs, let him come in to see me."

"Yes."

  Xie Jingping retreated from the girl and servants beside him, took a sip of hot tea, and woke up a little.

   Not long after, Chong Heng in iron armor strode in, bowed to Xie Jing and clasped his fists: "Last General Chong Heng, I have seen the General!"

  In any case, Xie Jing is still the general of the Hanzhong Army, and Chong Heng's immediate boss. As a son of the general, it is the most basic quality to honor the Shangguan in the army.

  Xie Jing squeezed a smile on his face, pointed to the seat next to him, and said with a smile: "General Xiao Zhong, you're welcome, please sit down quickly."

Chong Heng is a veteran general of Dajin. To put it mildly, even the Xie Clan of Shanyin, who is now the mother family of the emperor, is not qualified to compare with the Chong family. Facing the eldest grandson of the Chong family, even Xie Jing, Courtesy.

Chong Heng didn't show any kindness to him either, he sat down directly and said, "General, the Southwest Army has been changing frequently these days, and it seems that they have the idea of ​​advancing from Handong. The combat effectiveness that the Southwest Army has shown over the years is no less than that of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army of the Great Jin Dynasty, and even more so. This matter cannot be taken lightly. I have drafted a document, please take a look at the generals, if there is no problem , together with General Pei, and send it to the capital."

   Saying that, Chong Heng took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Jing. Xie Jing took it and glanced at it briefly, and found that it was written about the recent situation in the southwest, and… asking the court for help.

Over the years, the imperial court has transferred a lot of people from the left camp of the forbidden army to the southwest to fill the Hanzhong army, so it is not realistic to want to have someone with the imperial court at this time. thing.

   You want money, food, supplies, and weapons.

Xie Jing took a brief look, frowned slightly, and said, "General Xiao Zhong, the number of defenders in Xiangyang City now exceeds 150,000, and the total number of these thieves in the southwest is only this number. We are guarding the city, and the number of people is equal, how can we ask the court for something in this situation, Your Majesty and the courtiers, I am afraid they will suspect that we are incompetent."

   "General, this is not the time to worry about these things."

Chong Heng bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "My Dajin has already lost the entire southwest. If Xiangyang is lost, the western part of my Dajin will be completely out of control. At this time, we must no longer care about our personal future. Guarding the city is the most important thing. ."

Xie Jing frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the memorial written by Chong Heng, and said, "General Xiao Chong, I can send this memorial, but I can't just send it like this, the rhetoric needs to be changed. Change it, be more euphemistic."

   Zhong Heng frowned deeply, but said nothing.

   In any case, Xie Jing is his boss and cannot have any conflict with his boss.

When the two leaders of the Hanzhong Army were discussing how to revise the content of the memorial, a scout from the Hanzhong Army stumbled in, knelt in front of the two, swallowed, and said in a trembling voice, "General, General. ...The Southwest Army has left Shu!"

   Zhongheng stood up immediately, his expression changed slightly.

"What did you say?"

   The man swallowed and said, "General Chong, the brothers in front just sent back the news that the Southwest Army in the southwest... has left Ankang and is heading towards Xiangyang..."

   "It is estimated that there are at least 50,000 people..."

  Chong Heng let out a breath slowly, and shook his head bitterly: "It's time to come."

In the early years, Chong Heng served as a general of the Qianniu Wei in the capital for a period of time. He had met Li Xin many times, and the two were considered acquaintances. At this time, Li Xin's army finally began to march eastward, and completely stood in the court. The opposite of , embarked on the road of rebellion.

   He only thought for a moment, then looked back at Xie Jing, lowered his head slightly and said, "General..."

   "War is on."

The eldest grandson of the Clan family said solemnly: "These days, the last general has inspected the city wall of Xiangyang many times. Even if we have 200,000 people to attack Xiangyang, I am confident that it will last for a year and a half. However, there are not many military resources in Xiangyang City to defend the city, and the general should ask the court for help as soon as possible, so that the court can send things to Xiangyang."

  Xie Jing was completely awake now, he also stood up from the chair and slowly exhaled.

   "General Xiaozhong don't need to worry too much. There is a corner of the southwest, and there is not enough background. It is difficult for a person like Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, to make a difference. Now the Southwest is getting louder and louder, and it won't last long."

   Having said this, Xie Jing narrowed his eyes.

   "It won't be long before that Marquis Jing'an, who has been riding on the head of our generation for many years, will fall into the dust and take the same path as his father!"

   Although there was nothing wrong with what Xie Jing said, Chong Heng frowned deeply, and he sighed slowly.

   "The Marquis of Jing'an has never done anything I am not sure about..."
