"Congratulations, my lord, all the four thieves in the north have retreated. My lord only needs to hone his troops for a few years. Who in the world can stop my lord from unifying the country!" Liu Bowen, who had just returned to Luoyang City and had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to congratulate him.
The retreat of the Northern Allied Forces means that this battle has come to an end!
Next, the Central Plains Allied Forces will retreat without a fight. Although Zhuge Liang had very few troops left after his victory, Yue Fei's main force was still there, and Li Jing's 120,000 troops came out of Hanzhong. The defeat of the northern princes made the Central Plains princes lose all hope. It's impossible for the three of you to carry on any longer!
If you retreat at this time, you can at least preserve some strength! It is impossible for Yue Fei and Li Jing to continue chasing without mercy, and they will definitely end up giving up once again!
This battle was not easy for the Jin army, and they needed to stop as soon as possible in order to recuperate.
But if the princes of the Central Plains continue to fight to the death, the result will be unpredictable!
"Although we won, our army only suffered a miserable victory!" Li Xiang sighed and said.
After the princes of the world joined forces, they all surpassed the Jin army in terms of talents and troops. This battle was really difficult!
Not to mention the losses in troops, horses and population, just the fact that more than half of the Eight Passes in Luoyang were directly burned down was already doomed. The Jin army would deploy a large number of troops in these places. These few places alone are bound to involve a lot of energy from the Jin army in the future.
Li Xiang does not plan to rebuild these levels again. If it is just one of them, maybe he will have the idea to repair it! But directly repairing so many buildings would also be a huge financial pressure for the Jin army.
Next, there will be money everywhere, and even if Li Xiang wants to repair it, there is no way!
Fortunately! After the battle of conquering Shu, Li Xiang will never be forced to continue passive defense the next time he faces the princes of the world! As long as he recovers his original strength after recuperating and transforms Bashu into his own strength, even without these levels. When there is a big battle later, just fight directly.
"Lord! Although it is a tragic victory, it is also a great victory!" Liu Ji laughed loudly, his little eyes flashed, as if he was starting to make some plans again.
In Liu Bowen's opinion, in this battle, although they repelled the enemy, the Jin army itself suffered a lot of damage, but in a political sense, it gave Li Xiang enough confidence to take the final step.
With the momentum of great victory, he invited the Han Emperor to formally meditate. They have struggled to survive in this troubled world, and have been fighting for more than ten years. Today, they can finally reach the final step!
If it were placed before the Battle of Shu, Li Xiang at that time was not confident enough to claim the throne.
But after this battle to conquer Shu, several alliances of princes were repulsed. Although they themselves suffered a lot of damage, which prince in the world can recover? In terms of comprehensive strength, he is already qualified to ascend the throne and become emperor. After a few years of rest, the Jin army will only become stronger and stronger.
Today, the Jin army has occupied half of the country. Among them, Guanzhong, Bashu, Hezhou, and Sizhou are all rich and prosperous places. They are also recuperating. But who can develop their power faster than the Jin army? The strength of both sides The size of the power has already determined this!
Why was it that during the Three Kingdoms era, the Shu Han Dynasty was clearly on the weaker side, but Zhuge Liang and later Jiang Wei still persisted in the Northern Expedition. That is to say, they are also recuperating, but the growth rate of Shu Han's strength is absolutely impossible to compare with that of Cao Wei at that time.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang could only use the weak to defeat the strong in order to gain a chance of survival, otherwise slow death would be waiting for them.
Furthermore, after this battle has laid the foundation, the army can naturally rest and recuperate in peace. Even if there will be war, it will never develop into a world-wide war like the Battle of Conquest of Shu.
If a war of this magnitude were to start again, the Jin army would be close to unifying the world.
However, in Liu Bowen's opinion, the princes would not have such an opportunity to recuperate.
The most peaceful place in the future may just be the south. Liu Xiu has been completely eliminated in name only, and his territory is surrounded by Zhu Yuanzhang on several sides. In this environment, even if Bai Qi, Han Xin, Yue Fei, and Li Jing are Such famous generals throughout the ages were all thrown at Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu had no chance of making a comeback.
For Liu Xiu, the current Zhu Yuanzhang is not just an absolute strength gap that can be described.
The key is that a flood in southern Jingnan affected Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, but Liu Xiu's territory was the most severely affected!
Liu Xiu, in Liu Bowen’s opinion, he is already a dead person! It is impossible to pose a threat to Zhu Yuanzhang's next step!
As for Jiaozhou, a large number of soldiers and horses from Jiaozhou were previously deployed to the battlefield in central Sichuan. Now it is empty. In addition, the talents in central Sichuan suffered heavy losses, and their leader Liu Che also died in this battle. This is the time. At a time of great turmoil, it is indeed possible for Zhu Yuanzhang to unify the entire south except Bashu in a short period of time.
Of course, Liu Bowen could not have imagined that Liu Che would make a deal with Zhu Yuanzhang in the end, so that Zhu Yuanzhang would unify the south faster and more steadily.
In the Central Plains, a war is about to begin. After Chi You was killed by Huo Qubing, he was weak. Will Zhao Kuangyin let him go?
The same is true for the north. They will definitely annex each other to make up for their losses and develop further! Especially with Qin Zheng, Li Shimin to the east has already been sharpening his sword.
Therefore, the general trend of the world will be that the Jin army will become relatively stronger and the princes will become relatively weaker. As time goes by, the strength gap between the two sides will only widen.
Even if the princes from all walks of life can see this, what can they do? Is it because of seeing this? Don't they conquer each other and take advantage of each other's weakness to take a bite?
Will Zhao Kuangyin give up attacking Chi You because he sees this? Will Li Shimin give up taking action against Qin Zheng because of this? Will Qin Zheng give up on unifying Hebei because of this?
This is a step of retreating if you don't advance. If you tie yourself up just because you see some problems, then what's the point of fighting for the world? Just go home and sell sweet potatoes! If it is true, there will at least be a chance to break the situation!
In short, after this battle has laid the foundation, the other princes in the world will suffer next, and then, for the Jin army, it will be time for happy development.
For Li Xiang, it is time for him to take the final step!
