The battle in the valley finally brought the pursuit of the eldest prince to an end.
Fortunately, the eldest prince had a love for talents, and Yuezhou General Li Ziyu finally survived. And Xu Lang did not pursue too much. All surrendered troops were asked what they wanted. Those who were willing to stay were added to the army and used according to their talents. Everyone settled in their own positions. Those who were unwilling were sent back to their hometowns. stay difficult.
As for the eldest prince and the princess, Xu Langli sent people to escort them all the way to Xiangyang to meet Princess Ruoqing. At the same time, he quickly informed the British King Gui Yunzheng, who had conquered Nanyang Mansion, of the incident.
Zhu Yunfei remained the commander-in-chief of Yiling and was responsible for maintaining friendly relations with the chieftains of Miao territory. Two days later, Sun Da, Ni Zhongyi, and Zeng Dalong led their troops to Yiling, and Li Wenzhong and He Huairen also sent troops to support each other, but the trip was in vain. In the end, Sun Da and Ni Zhongyi were left to assist Zhu Yunfei in Yiling.
In addition, Xu Lang sent people to escort Jiang Shen to Hengshan, and Hengshan sent him to deal with it himself.
Three days later, Xu Lang, together with Li Ziyu, Qin Tianci, Zeng Dalong, Ganxiong and other generals under his command, marched to Yuezhou again, hoping to move north from there and attack Ezhou. As for the Xuan family and his son in Wuling County, Xu Lang received a message from Ling Yue, the general of Ganzhou, saying that he had sent troops to conquer.
Thus, the war in Changsha County came to an end. As for Zheng Baye and Master Baiyun, they had nothing to do anyway, so they were happy to accompany them all the way.
…
After describing Xu Lang's southern expedition to Changsha County, let's talk about the battle situation here in Nanyang Mansion.
Last time we mentioned that before the defeat of Xinye, Marquis Ning had already fled to Nanyang Mansion. Later, after receiving an urgent report from Ma Jun, he sent most of the Nanyang Prefecture's troops to Xinye, but they were defeated by Wang Liang halfway. Therefore, after repeated defeats, the total strength of Nanyang Prefecture was less than 30,000. .
In this way, when the three armies of the King of England gathered at the gate of Nanyangfu, Marquis Ning knew that he was not his opponent, so he only resisted them symbolically, and then abandoned the city five days later and rushed to Shangdu.
At that time, General Jin Ba, who sent troops from Tongguan, had already finished resting and reorganized, and with high morale, he sent troops to Luoyang. The two armies resisted each other for more than a month, attacking and defending each other. However, General Jin Ba followed the British king's strategy and did not rush into a decisive battle with him. Instead, he used flexible tactics to drag the Luoyang defenders to the Zhongzhou area. As a result, So that they could not go to Nanyang for rescue in time.
Therefore, after another Weiwu army approached Kaifeng, in fact, in the Central Plains, only Shangdu, Luoyang and Xuchang above Nanyang Prefecture were still temporarily in the hands of the imperial court.
For Ning Hou, their passage north to the capital will become increasingly narrow. But no matter what, the most influential territory in Zhongzhou is still in their hands. Therefore, if he escapes again and again, I'm afraid it won't just be a matter of being laughed at by everyone in the world.
So, when Jin Ba and Wei Wu were approaching from the left and right, Ninghou also made urgent arrangements. On the one hand, he strictly ordered the Luoyang General's Palace and the Shangdu General's Palace to consolidate the city defense, increase the recruitment of troops, and establish the determination to defend. Quickly report the situation here to the capital.
A war that affects the general trend of the Central Plains and even affects the general trend of the world is about to break out.
The British King Gui Yunzheng, who captured Nanyang Mansion, once again expanded his troops, with a total force of 250,000. With the unbroken military discipline of Minqiu as the foundation, with the invincible achievements along the way, with the halo of the leader of the Beggar Clan as the foundation, and with the overt and covert help of the Beggar Clan disciples and chivalrous people from all over the world, the King of England's subordinates The morale of the soldiers was so high that they wanted to rush into the capital and capture Prince Jing alive.
Of course, the situation is still not so optimistic. After all, Biyang, Shenzhou, Xinyang, Chenzhou and other places were still in the hands of the imperial court, and the position of Ezhou across the river was still unclear.
