The first thousand five hundred and forty-five chapters on behalf of the country!
This is a chaotic world where people live in poverty, people do not have a fixed and stable life, and they cannot even eat, so they can only join the army, seek shelter, and have enough food and clothing.
And Wang Kang's army is naturally the best choice.
There are many people, maybe they don’t have all kinds of righteousness, they just want to make ends meet. Of course, Wang Kang knew about this situation, but he was really powerless!
The army is not a charity, it is just a chaotic crowd.
If Wang Kang was willing, he could easily expand to a large number of troops...
Only Xiang Tai is an exception. His control in this area is even stricter than Wang Kang. His uprising army has maintained its original number and has basically not been recruited.
"Are you trying to avoid suspicion?"
Wang Kang was very curious that the rebel army was a model he promoted, aiming to become a benchmark, and of course it also had great appeal.
"no."
Xiang Tai shook his head and said, "Sometimes the more troops the better. While paying attention to quantity, we should pay more attention to quality. The Great Chu was prosperous because of scattered troops and died because of scattered troops. In fact, I have always rejected this system."
"Understood."
Wang Kang nodded and said, "It is a good thing that you can have this understanding."
"Along the way, I basically encountered large-scale battles. Compared with my rebel army, most of them were recruits. I could not truly experience it without experiencing wars. As the number of people was too large, it became too bloated and became a burden."
Wang Kang nodded undeniably. With just these words, we can know that Xiang Tai is a talent and has a clear understanding no matter when.
"After information, the Northern Li Kingdom and Shen Kingdom announced their independence. What do you think about this?"
Xiang Tai was once a prince of Chu State and also had an understanding of this aspect.
He spoke: "The Great Chu claimed to have thirty-six vassal states, which are big and small, and have strong and weak strength. These vassal states are not all surnamed Xiang, but also have princes and kings in other surnames!"
"The princes and kings of other surnames all made great contributions by their ancestors and were rewarded by them. Li and Shen were foreign surnames."
Hearing this.
Wang Kang understood a little.
"So, are you saying that the princes and kings of other surnames did not have much loyalty to the court, so they declared their independence?"
"no."
Xiang Tai shook his head and said, "Actually, it's the princes of the Xiang surname. I'm afraid there is not much loyalty to the court. Instead, I think this is a bit abnormal."
“Anomalous?”
"right!"
Xiang Tai said in a deep voice: "I don't know much about Li Country, but Shen Country is definitely a powerful vassal state. Shen Country has always been loyal to the court, and it is a bit strange that it suddenly becomes independent."
"But maybe I'm thinking too much. In today's chaotic situation, anyone can see that the decline of the Great Chu court is inevitable, and it's normal for everyone to push it down."
Wang Kang nodded.
According to the information sent by Jiang Chenghua, a prince had clearly stated that he was willing to surrender at critical moments. He only hoped that the new dynasty would be established after the war and that the position of princes would still be retained.
Many people are looking for a way out. Lu Zhao has also encountered such situations. They sent a message to Wang Kang to ask for instructions on how to deal with it.
In Wang Kang's opinion, this is also a good thing. It is great to be resolved peacefully!
In short, the progress of several armies is quite smooth now!
It was precisely because it went too smoothly that Wang Kang felt something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong...
After talking to Xiang Tai, I didn’t think anything was abnormal.
This may be the general trend.
Everyone is optimistic about the outcome of this war. The collapse of the Great Chu is about to come, so we should speed up.
At that time, the grassland cavalry led by Sanar did not have specific strategic goals, and the other routes were all moving very quickly.
Especially Jiang Chenghua, he has great commanding ability. When attacking and fighting, he was surprised and unprepared, and his results were significant.
Now he is the fastest-progress person and the closest person to Shouchun.
Knowing this situation, all the generals asked for a fight. As the main road, they should not be too slow and delay the pace of the battle.
When the troops were divided into five groups, everyone was also competing with each other secretly, which could also bring positive effects.
Morale was in full swing, and Wang Kang did not refuse. After resting in Daming City for a while, he led the army to continue westward and came to a new vassal state, Dai State.
Dai State, among the thirty-six vassal states, was the best in strength and was considered a relatively powerful vassal state.
Because Dai State is already close to the central part of Chu State, there are basically no weak vassal states around this.
Dai Kingdom goes west, that is, Rong Kingdom. After passing Rong Kingdom, you will reach the central area!
It’s not far from the successful meeting!
This time, Wang Kang did not divide his troops and marched like this.
Dai State is not a weak State, and it should no longer be as easy as Ping State or Yuan State. I am afraid there will be difficult wars.
If the troops are divided, it may give the enemy a chance to defeat each other, which is also a kind of guarantee.
Wang Kang and the entire army were ready for battle, but unexpected things happened again...
The news that his army swept over the State of Chu has long been circulating and is well known to everyone.
In Dai Kingdom, it is no exception.
The difference is that the chaos here is not as serious as other places, because Dai State is located near the central part, the closer it is to the capital Shouchun, and it is also at the foot of the emperor, so the situation is naturally different.
Dai State is a powerful vassal state, and its strength is still sufficiently retained.
Only in the earlier battle between Qi and Chu, the imperial court had increased some of its troops. As for the war that later had not started, it had become a situation. Support was meaningless and could only defend alone!
In fact, Dai State was ready. Dai King Xiang Cheng recruited troops and prepared for war and fought with all his strength, because this was not only for the country, but also for himself.
King Dai was a very talented and strategic prince. He had been paying attention to the movements of the enemy. When they arrived in the Yuan Dynasty, he was already vigilant and stationed troops on the border.
He wanted to stop the enemy from the border and try to prevent them from entering the country.
The King of Dai has deployed all preparations and has made up his mind to persevere.
Just a while ago.
The imperial envoy sent by the court arrived.
This made Xiang Cheng extremely disdainful. The court was unable to send reinforcements, but a so-called imperial envoy came. Is this arguing?
You should know that this situation is already a bit out of line. Normally, the court has no right to directly interfere in the government affairs and military affairs of the vassal states, let alone directly sending imperial envoys.
What is an imperial envoy?
It is the person appointed by the emperor and has special rights.
Xiang Cheng knew that this was not an isolated case. Recently, the emperor sent imperial envoys to all the vassal states.
With a respectful attitude, Xiang Cheng still met the imperial envoy with a correct attitude. He wanted to know what orders His Majesty had.
