Rushing back to Xingchuan Fucheng from the herbal tea stall, it was the scene of "the afterglow has faded away at dusk". Outside the city, more than 200,000 Western Qin troops stretched for dozens of miles, with bright lights, dazzling swords and guns, and the horseshoes of the scouts resounding at the end of the official road.
The fleeing people dragged their families, carriages, horses and luggage, and traveled far away in panic. When they saw the Western Qin soldiers giving way one after another, they were frightened.
In fact, they have no way to go. They are all the territory of Western Qin to the west, south and north. The armies to the east are fighting. The war is in chaos and it is more difficult, but they still have to escape. They hate war and are afraid of war.
There were more than a dozen corpses of martyrs who resisted the Western Qin hanging on the roadside. They had been dried. The daughter-in-law of an unknown family was kneeling beside them with their children, crying.
The broken corpses of passers-by and the cries of crows can be seen everywhere.
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times...
Xin Zhuo walked around with Ying Jianying, Sai Qingzhu and the girls, but his thoughts were not on the suffering of the people. The people have nothing to do with me. You have to blame your emperor. He is thinking about his own fairyland.
When entering the Earth Immortal, even if the Little Four Elephant Thunder Tribulation comes, he is somewhat sure of defeating it. However, the meridians of the Earth Immortal must be baptized. For the baptism of Julie Mountain, does he need to go to Julie Mountain?
If you don't need to go and enter the country directly, what kind of earthly immortal will you be?
While I was thinking, I had already entered the city when suddenly there was a rush of horse hoofbeats in front of me. Tai Xun Gong, Yu Siliu and a group of soldiers who had been out for the past few days came towards me.
"Your Highness!"
Duke Taixun jumped off his horse and saluted hastily: "Military report!"
Xin Zhuo patted his sleeves and said with a smile, "Tell me."
A group of people were walking and chatting. Tai Xunji said: "Every progress is going very smoothly. In these eighteen days from August 15th to September 3rd, basically all the thirty-eight prefectures in Xijing Road, Three Prefectures, and Great Zhou Dynasty were captured. On Wednesday, One of the territories has been put into my pot.
In the north, Bai Xuanji fought three battles with the elite troops supported by the nine sides of the front army, and won two of the three battles. More than a dozen mansions were in chaos.
In the south, as His Highness guessed, the Nanli Army took action. Nanling King Ji Xiaowei sent 100,000 troops to the Damang Mountain, preparing to sneak attack on the rear of our Western Qin Dynasty. They were blocked by Jiang Hu and Jiang Shisan, and the situation remained in a stalemate. Pulling it back and forth is fine for now.
Su Wuji, the king of Nanli County, personally led 100,000 Nanli soldiers northward, and encountered two generals, Lin Haotian and Zhe Tengkun. They won both battles, but in the third battle, the main forces of the two armies started a bloody battle in Baihe Valley, which lasted for two days. In two nights, our army suffered a tragic victory. All 10,000 black-armored soldiers were killed, and our army suffered 50,000 casualties. Su Wuji, the king of Nanli County, retreated to the Nanchuan Gorge with only 20,000 remaining soldiers..."
Xin Zhuo frowned. Frankly speaking, Prince Nanli was kind to him, and his daughter Su Miaojin was even more...
But, is he really willing to be the eagle dog of Emperor Zhou? Or is he really a die-hard loyalist of the late emperor and a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
】
I couldn't help sighing: "Why bother? The reason why I sent Lin Haotian is because Lin Haotian has no obvious military exploits, but he is the most steady and steady. Before leaving, I wrote down many strategies with him to avoid any surprise attacks or schemes. It’s useless to him. Nan Li’s hundred-war army was wiped out in one battle, and the various prefectures in Southern Xinjiang on the Nan Li front line may also be disrupted. How can we resist Nan Li in the future?”
"Against an old turtle like Lin Haotian, Prince Nanli won both battles. He is already worthy of being an iron-blooded prince!"
Tai Xun Gong gave a bitter smile and said: "The next thing is the most important thing. Jiang Man'er failed to capture Ning Lingbo. Mr. Ning fled with 20,000 private troops. General Jiang Man'er pursued him all the way. Killing, just in time to meet the army of the six family heads of Yuchi Shuowan Lie, they attacked Ning Lingbo from both sides.
At this time, the emperor's personal conquest army had arrived. Pioneer generals Zhang Bo, Sun Zhenguo and Du Rufeng, who were transferred from Fufeng Mansion in Dongyi, led an army of 300,000 to support them.
Jiang Man'er, Yuchi Shuomaru Lie and other seven men fought against the other side's 300,000 troops with 300,000. The battle line stretched hundreds of miles and fought seven battles. In the end, the main force fought for a day and a night and wiped them all out. Sixty thousand of our side died in the battle. .
Jiang Man'er and Yuchi Shuowan Lie's tribe are drinking from the Mahuanglang River and setting up camp! "
Xin Zhuo was shocked: "Where is the Emperor of Zhou?"
Yu Siliu said: "Your Highness, please go to the magistrate's office and I will give you a detailed report!"
A group of people quickened their pace and soon entered the magistrate's yamen. In the lobby, the generals had already laid out camp plans and geographical maps of mountains and rivers.
Yu Siliu pointed to the sand table: "The emperor of Zhou personally conscripted, claiming to be two million, but the actual army is probably only more than one million. Among them, the only elites who can fight are 400,000 Tianwu Army, 100,000 Yulin Army and 100,000 of the most elite East Road Army. Army, that is, 600,000!
At present, the emperor has dispatched ten veteran generals from the battlefields of the Great Zhou Dynasty, leading various troops from various regions, and divided them into seven groups to fight against our various armies in the Western Qin Dynasty.
The emperor’s camp is here…”
Pointing to a large city named Luyang, "The emperor's 600,000 elite troops are all here. They are only 600 miles away from us, but they have stopped moving. What are their plans?"
Xin Zhuo smiled and said: "He is waiting for me!"
Tai Xungong, Yu Siliu, Song Laochu and others were surprised: "The Emperor of Zhou is waiting for us to kill him?"
Xin Zhuo shook his head: "Since you can detect his movements, they naturally also know my approximate location. He is waiting for me to move first. His ultimate goal must be here..."
Xin Zhuo pointed to the plain outside Yanmen Ancient City: "Do you gentlemen know the allusions here?"
Song Lao Chu said: "Taizu reined in the Great Leguan, and three thousand soldiers defeated the Qin army's one hundred thousand!"
Xin Zhuo smiled and said: "Ji Chunjiu, the hammer, wants to imitate his ancestors and kill me, Jiang Yuqing, in one battle here, but he is a little too crafty. The matter of death between you and me has to go through the process, so let's follow him As you wish!”
Taixun Gong frowned and said: "We don't have enough troops! The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has 600,000 troops. Our Chinese army currently only has more than 200,000 troops. Jiang Man'er and Yuchi Shuowanlie's 250,000 troops are probably going to have to be divided to support the four sides!"
"There is no need for support. If I lose to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how many kingdoms I conquer, I will have to spit it out. If I win the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will surrender even if I don't attack all directions!"
Xin Zhuozhong focused on Daleguan: "This execution will be a fight to the death!"
…
"This is a fight to the death!"
Outside Luyang City, in the tents of the Emperor's Western Expedition that stretches for forty miles, a group of eunuchs in armor stood solemnly outside the huge white commander's tent. There were also hundreds of Han generals and internal masters guarding the surroundings. There was a black gold-rimmed dragon beside the tent. The flag flutters in the wind.
At this moment, there were fifty or sixty powerful Zhou generals gathered in the tent. In the middle was Ji Chunjiu, who was wearing a golden imperial armor, tall and tall, and was very heroic.
His expression was extremely serious, and he held the jade pestle stick in his hand and focused heavily on Dalekuan.
General Yuan Yi of the Tianwu Army hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, are you sure that Jiang Thief will definitely fight our army in Dalekuan?"
Ji Chunjiu looked to the west, as if he wanted to see Xin Zhuo's face clearly through the tent and hundreds of miles away: "He can! He will definitely do it, he must have figured out my purpose!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the generals bowed in military salute.
…
It was dusk on September 12, the second year of Zhenyuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
King Jiang Yuqing of Qin led an army of 470,000, crossed the Huanglang River, and marched at the western foot of Dalue Mountain, with the front pointed directly at Dalekuan.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally led an army of 600,000 people across the Baijiang Valley and sent troops to the eastern foot of Dalue Mountain.
The two armies were facing each other eighty miles apart!
The decisive battle to determine the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to begin!
