Most of the northeastern part of Daxia is covered by the ocean, but in winter it freezes and becomes an ice field. However, Daxia mobilized millions of troops to the northwest, and then crossed the ice field southward for a long distance after winter. As a result, the nine northeastern counties of Daxia were completely unprepared. , the three barbarians' army was overwhelming and directly occupied nine counties. At this time, the place occupied by the three barbarians was far to the north of Lin Haoming's Wu Kingdom, separated only by the two counties of Donghai and Lelang on the east coast of Daxia Kingdom, which were not even a thousand miles apart.
This result completely shocked the entire Fengyun Continent, and also completely tore apart the mask that blocked Daxia's external strength and internal strength.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia, was also completely frightened by the fall of the nine northeastern counties this time, and he really fell. Fortunately, during the rebellion of Daxia before, the nine princes came from behind, and now there is a clear heir apparent, even if he really dies. There will be no chaos. Of course, even if there is a prince, it is not safe. In the history of Daxia, it is not that there was no prince who did not succeed to the throne in the end, but was beheaded by his brothers.
Of course, His Majesty the Great Xia Kingdom has not died yet, but is just unwell, and he can still summon the courtiers, which is at least much better than that of the Chu Kingdom who has been hiding in the harem.
Lin Haoming knew that the Great Xia Kingdom was not completely defeated because of this, but now that the northern border was occupied, it would take a lot of effort to take it back. As for commanding the surrounding princes, it would be even more difficult. .
Lin Haoming also returned to the capital of Yue from Wu for the first time at this time, because Daxia had begun to formally recruit troops from the princes.
Regarding the recruitment of a large army this time, it is naturally impossible for the Yue Kingdom to give another soldier. After all, the 20,000-strong small army is in Xiaoxia territory. It is not bad if it is transferred back, and there is no sufficient reason for the current confrontation between Chu and Yue.
So before the discussion, Sun Zan went directly to Xiaoxia as an envoy. He was very generous to Xiaoxia's court, and even stated that as long as Chu State was willing to send troops to assist, Chu State would send far fewer troops, and Yue State could not send more troops. Unfortunately, Chu State's current situation They basically know how to send troops, and the Yue Kingdom does not have 20,000 cavalry. At least from Xiaoxia's point of view, Yu Cong is the most powerful outside the vassal states.
After solving the little prince's troubles, Lin Haoming also returned to the eight counties of Wu State, continued to cultivate and recuperate, and waited for the situation to change.
Before the beginning of spring, the young prince finally mobilized part of the imperial army and headed towards the four northeastern counties. However, that time, the Eight Barbarians did not really want to occupy the four northeastern counties. After the young prince's small army arrived, they took advantage of the thaw in the north. It was getting late, so it was urgent to advance from the ice field again, and when summer continued to send troops to the northwest county and continue to harass, it was basically to give Xiaoxia time to settle down.
Under such circumstances, the Central Route Army dared to go deeper and could only go west. However, the West Route Army and Zhao's First Army did not go deeper. In the end, they were busy for nearly eight months. However, the plan was not completed at all, and it also led to the east The Lu army was slightly defeated, and Xiao Weishan's prestige was completely destroyed.
Before autumn, Xiaoxia had to worry about the Northeastern Eight Barbarians crossing the ice fields again, so they had to send more troops for defense. With so few troops mobilized for eight or seven consecutive years, even Xiao Weishan was exhausted.
This is indeed true in fact. As the neighboring Middle Route Army, when it learned that Wei Shanzhen was besieged, it immediately sent troops, but was directly attacked by cavalry in the middle. What's more terrible is that the Eight Barbarian Army actually learned to take advantage of the geographical advantage, and the East Route Army and the Middle Route Army There is no Baishui River in between, and it was not a very narrow river originally. As a result, the Baman people built a dam on the lower reaches of the river. When the Middle Route Army went to rescue, they directly released the water. This caused the Central Route Army to be delayed for at least two days. Days away, by the time the reinforcements arrived, only 80,000 remnants of the 800,000 Eastern Route Army soldiers were left, fleeing under the leadership of the deputy commander.
That time, Xiao Weishan was full of strength, but Zhao Guo's 70,000 cavalry served as the vanguard, and he also mobilized more than 1.7 million small troops to retreat in seven directions.
When Lin Haoming found out about that, I immediately knew that the little prince was going to completely collapse.
When such information came, it was already autumn with Cong. At this time, it had not been two years since Lin Haoming occupied the eight counties of Wu State. After two years, Wu State had been completely settled. However, at the border with Chu State in the south, the mountains Confronting each other in the valley between them.
The Chu State was invaded from all sides by the two countries, and Qu Xiong was the only one. The entire Yue State fell into the crisis of national subjugation. Sure enough, the seven small armies retreated together, but before retreating into the grassland, Zhao Guo's cavalry seemed to retreat into a populated area, walking smoothly. The small army following in front was not normal, but the other eight groups were completely the same. Usually it is the East Route Army, which is overwhelming at the end, but a little deeper, it is suddenly besieged by the Eight Barbarians. Apparently the Eight Barbarians' small army is targeting Xiaoxia and intends to destroy one of them, so as to show the little prince. sharp.
In fact, the battle required only a small amount of time. A flanking attack from both sides. The Chu army had to get supplies, and they would naturally be exhausted in the winter. At that time, they would only have two options: surrender or breakout. And with a flanking attack from the right and left, the chance of breaking through was much greater. And big.
Of course, before retreating to the Chu State, the hearts of the people of Chu were still there. Qu Xiong, the young marshal of the Chu State, immediately came with his army from the west. However, as soon as I moved, Chen Bing and Jiang Heng immediately led his army southward. To the west, the Wei State unexpectedly He also took advantage of the situation and sent troops south again.
On the young prince's side, the suffering caused by the eight barbarians from the northwest is unspeakable. He ordered the princes to help, but the princes were completely perfunctory. At present, they are taking advantage of Xiaoxia's free time to take advantage of it and try to strengthen themselves as much as possible.
But just when the Chu State was also on tight guard against the Yue State, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, suddenly hundreds of small boats landed directly on the east coast of the Chu State. The Yue State spent two years directly building sea-going ships and launching them directly from the sea. Rao crossed the Dongyi Mountains and extended to the mountainous and hilly areas by the sea, heading towards the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom.
That time, the person who led the small army to retreat into the county in the hinterland of Chu State was Lin Haoming, who had not yet reached his prime. Ning Lin, and before retreating into Longhai County, Ning Lin acted as a vanguard and personally followed the Eighth Route Army. Wan Xiaojun went north and attacked the Chu army among several fortresses in the mountains with the Wu army.
There are seven counties north of Hengshui in Chu State, eight of which are bordering Yue State. The poorest one is Pingshan County, which borders Wei State. Pingshan County is also the smallest. Even if four counties are ceded, it is still inferior to Hengshui County. Any of the eight counties bordering the Yue State to the north of the water are small, and the Wei State is also full of lakes. It is about to swallow up the poorest and smallest county of the Chu State.
Finally, before another year passed, Xiaoxia was ready to directly attack the Eight Barbarians with a small army, and completely use offense as defense.
Some of the large ships under the Chu State had not yet discovered Lin Haoming's small army and had not rushed back to report the news. However, those large ships had just landed, and Lin Haoming and his small army had not yet arrived. Hundreds of thousands of small troops were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. It was Longhai County on the coast that was directly conquered in ten days and made the county seat.
