@@On August 17, the sixth year of Taichu, Daxia marched to the east of the Yangtze River to attack Jiaxing. Song generals Han Shizhong and Meng Gong only escaped with their lives.
On the 20th, the Xia army moved southward, aiming directly at Lin'an.
On the 21st, Shi Wansui, the general of the Xia army, defeated the Song army's obstruction and came to the capital of the Song Dynasty.
On the 22nd, the main force of the Jiangdong camp arrived. The morale of the Song army in Huzhou dropped sharply.
At the end of August, Wei Rui broke through Huzhou, and Yu Yunwen led the remnants of the Song army to retreat.
By this time, several lines of soldiers and horses of the Song Army were defeated one after another, Lin'an city defense was empty, and other soldiers and horses were in various places in the south, unable to face the threat of the Xia Army.
Zhao Xun, the leader of the Song Dynasty, sent envoys Li Guang and Han Yuzhou out of the city to beg for peace.
The news quickly spread to Jinling.
Wang Jing used Han Xizai, the censor of Youdu, as his envoy to discuss with Li Guang and Han Yuzhou the matter of ceding territory and paying compensation.
I am a fisherman and a fisherman. He is talking about Song Jun at this time.
Neither Yu Yunwen nor Han Shizhong had the ability to support the overall situation on their own. Their abilities had limits. When the Song army was defeated one after another and their safety was at stake, they could only sit back and watch the peace talks no matter how unwilling they were.
As long as Song Jun can meet the conditions mentioned by Xia Jun, he will try his best to meet them.
Even if it was to cede the land near Lin'an, Zhao Hao and Yu Yunwen agreed with gritted teeth after discussion.
Since ancient times, it has never been possible to cede land and give up the imperial capital.
However, Yu Yunwen had been preparing to expand southward, so he would not conflict with the Xia army for the time being, consolidate the foundation of the Song army, and slow down its development.
Huzhou and Jiaxing to the north of Lin'an have been lost, so Lin'an has become food on other people's lips, and they can eat it whenever they want.
Neither Yu Yunwen nor Zhao Hao could bear this kind of situation of being controlled by others, so Yu Yunwen explained the truth, and Zhao Hao felt depressed for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Alas... Once the peace agreement is concluded, Lin'an will become the land of the Xia army. When this news spreads, I don't know how the officials in the court and the people in the world will think of me! A lifetime of fame will be ruined in one day!"
After signing the contract, Li Guang, who was in charge of the peace negotiations, seemed to have aged ten years and felt a little depressed.
At this time, Li Guang and Han Yuzhou were both in the Xia Army's military camp outside Lin'an City.
That time and that moment is exactly this moment.
This situation of enemy troops approaching the capital and the prime minister going out to negotiate peace with the enemy troops is just like the Jingkang period in the Northern Song Dynasty in history... Fortunately, the Xia army was not the Jin army and was not so barbaric.
There were no conditions for pledging the royal concubines, princesses, ministers, wives and daughters as compensation. Of course, if Wang Jing dared to raise this point, Zhao Xun and Yu Yunwen would probably die, and they would rather die than make Xia Jun pay the price.
Zhao Min, the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, has more ferocity in his blood than the descendants of Zhao Guangyi.
"The current situation is like this, what can we do? Only by letting the Xia army retreat first and giving the court time to recuperate can the Song Dynasty rise again... Losing money in the north and making up for it in the south is a good strategy!"
Han Kanzhou said.
"The north loses and the south makes up for it..."
When Li Guang heard these four words, his expression became complicated. In the history of the original world, when the Jin Kingdom was about to be destroyed by the Meng Yuan Dynasty's repeated attacks, he planned to make up for the losses in the north and the south.
The north could not defeat the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, so it wanted to invade the Song Dynasty from the south and seize the land in the south... Meng Gong and the Mongolian Yuan alliance to destroy the Jin Dynasty were also affected by this.
Now they, the Song Dynasty, must also learn from the Jin Kingdom in history.
Fortunately, there were few strong enemies in the southern part of the world of China, so the Song Dynasty would not be destroyed.
After meeting and discussing with the envoys of the Song Dynasty, Han Xizai quickly delivered the contract text to Jinling as quickly as possible. Waiting for Wang Jing’s confirmation.
The conditions in the contract are all beneficial to Daxia.
After Wang Jing saw the contract, his face suddenly showed joy. This time he threatened Lin'an and could take over Lin'an without attacking the city. This was indeed a good way.
Let the Song Army cede Lin'an, which can have a huge impact on the Song Army's military strength and morale. When facing the Xia Army in the future, the Song Army soldiers will think of ceding their capital to the emperor, and will have a fighting spirit.
It will drop a lot instantly.
However, Zhao Hao and Yu Yunwen also put forward conditions. They could cede Lin'an, but the food, grass and military equipment in the city, as well as the people who followed them, would have to be relocated.
Xia Jun was left with only a half-broken city.
Wang Jing had no objection to this. The other party took the initiative to relocate officials, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people, which just spared Xia Jun the trouble of cleaning up. There are also those grains, grass and weapons, Daxia has no shortage of these things.
"Yes, this way, the war in the east will be over!"
Wang Jing's eyes fell on the map. Da Xia's territory in the southeast was temporarily limited to Lin'an. As for Wenzhou, Taizhou, Shaoxing and other places in the south, Da Xia would be allowed to manage it for a while.
After he has dealt with the threats to the north and west, he can then send a group of troops southward, which will naturally capture these territories.
Wang Jing didn't do much in Jinling.
However, the important ministers and various ministries in the three provinces were very busy. The newly established provinces were waiting to be consolidated, and the scholars who passed the Enke examination were also sent to serve in various places under the arrangement of the Ministry of Personnel.
Daxia's system is like vines and spider webs, with Jinling as the center, spreading and taking root in all directions.
Every day that passes, Daxia becomes more established in Jiangnan.
Wang Jing's eyes are mainly on Anqing and Xuzhou.
Xie An has entered Xuzhou as an envoy, and I believe that good news will come soon.
At this time, Xie An, who was talked about by Wang Jing, had already entered Xuzhou with a scepter and was arranged in the post house.
There was a slight drizzle in Xuzhou, and the sky outside was a bit gloomy. Several attendants came in and lit candles as thick as a baby's arm in the hall, and the lights were brightly lit.
Chen Gong closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
On both sides of the hall, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others were sitting on both sides. There was a screen next to it. Behind the screen sat two figures. The two figures were graceful and their outlines could be vaguely seen.
"Cao Cao defeated Gao Huan and chased him for two thousand miles... He will soon occupy the Qingxu land and pose a great threat to Xuzhou. There must be a way to deal with it!"
Chen Gong governed the people and reorganized the army in Xuzhou, and wanted to strengthen the Xuzhou army. However, Xuzhou was in a strategic location. Neither Cao Cao Gao Huan in the north nor Wang Jing in the south could compare with Xuzhou.
Thinking of Wang Jing, Chen Gong couldn't help but think of the time when he joined forces with the soldiers and horses of the Huai Army to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Western Chu.
At that time, Wang Jing's power was not so huge that he could not resist.
And Cao Cao! When he entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao had just defeated Zhu Wen, Zhao Kuangyin and others, and occupied Bianzhou... At this time, Cao Cao had faint signs of taking over Qingzhou.
The Xuzhou Army is no match either.
Caught between two powerful forces, Xuzhou has become a place where dragons are trapped, and because of Xuzhou's importance, both Wang Jing and Cao Cao will attack here in the future.
Now Wang Jing took the lead.
Wang Jing's envoy entered the post house and informed the core civil and military personnel of the Xuzhou Army of Xia Jun's intentions. This is why they gathered together in the hall to discuss.
"Xie An is waiting for our reply. What do you think?"
Chen Gong opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice.
Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others looked at each other. They were all pure generals in the army and did not know much about the general trend of the world.
But they can also see that the current situation in Xuzhou seems to be a little bad.
After a while, Cao Xing replied: "Among the last generals, my lord has not come yet. Even if he does come, I am afraid he will not be able to defeat the millions of elites of Cao Cao and Xia's army... And my lord may not have the idea of conquering the world! "
"In this case, we might as well choose one of them to defect to, and when the lord comes, we can also enjoy the wealth..."
As soon as Cao Xing said this, many generals in the palace immediately buzzed.
Some people showed approval on their faces, while others felt unwilling to do so...
Cao Xing clearly supports defecting to Daxia. Because of the grievances between Cao Cao and his lord Lu Bu, the Xuzhou army will never and dare not defect to Cao Cao.
Damn it.
Lu Bu has not arrived yet, but his strength is definitely at the peak of the ninth level. After he appears, if he knows that his ministers have defected to Cao Cao, he will definitely fly into a rage, and then directly carry Fang Tian's painted halberd and kill them all, both civil and military. .
For a military commander at his peak, it would be easy to kill people.
While they were out without the protection of the army, they killed people and left, and no one could catch up...
Of course this is just the worst outcome.
Chen Gong's eyes fell on Gao Shun, showing a questioning look.
"The general agrees with Cao Xing's words, but when discussing with Daxia, we must first negotiate terms with them. The lord, his wife, and the young lady agree with each other in Xuzhou, so they must be ennobled with titles!"
Gao Shun said in a deep voice.
After saying this, he continued to remain silent.
Chen Gong's eyes moved slightly and he took a look at the civil and military personnel in the palace. At present, except for him and Gao Shun, there was almost no top-notch master in the Xuzhou Army.
With such a foundation, do you still want to compete with Cao Wei and Daxia for the world? It's not like this in dreams.
He sighed suddenly in his heart.
"What do you think, madam? As the two generals said, Xuzhou is in a dangerous place. If you don't defect to Daxia, you will definitely be threatened by Cao Cao..."
Chen Gong said softly.
A soft voice came from behind the screen, "Everything in Xuzhou is up to you, sir. I and Ling'er have no objections. After Fengxian comes here, I can understand your painstaking efforts!"
This lady is not Diao Chan.
It was Lu Bu's wife Yan and his daughter Lu Qiling.
They live in seclusion in Xuzhou, mainly as a symbol, and the civil and military authority is entrusted to Chen Gong and Gao Shun. That is to say, Chen Gong and Gao Shun are of good character. If it were anyone else, they would not be so comfortable.
"Well, since Madam has no objection, then so be it!"
Chen Gong forced himself to cheer up and spoke slowly.
…
On the wide river north of Anqing, two naval forces were fighting.
Hundreds of warships shuttled back and forth, and a large number of kerosene bombs and crossbows turned into a rain of fire, bombarding the enemy's warships.
At this time, in the water battle on the river, the Xia army's navy clearly had the upper hand. Daxia had five large ships and sharp warships built by various craftsmen. The leader of the water battle was He Ruobi.
The deputy generals are Lin Renzhao and Lu Meng.
They are all good at water warfare, and hundreds of warships under their command are like dragons that overturn rivers and seas, ferocious beasts that rampage.
As for the Xiang army that faced them, although they were somewhat bloody, their tactics were a bit dull. It was only thanks to the number of warships and a large number of soldiers that they could barely sustain themselves under the attack of the Xia Army Navy.
Being able to support it until now is already Zeng Guofan's limit.
The army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could not compare with the elite Xia army.
Zeng Guofan did not have many ninth-level generals under his command. The naval battle lasted only a few hours, and the Hunan Army's navy showed signs of collapse.
"Kill! Don't leave Zeng Guofan!"
"dash forward!"
In the naval formation, Zhang Hao personally took a fast boat and went straight to the Hunan Navy's ship.
Zhang Hao's energy was like that of a tiger, and his voice was like thunder, spreading in all directions.
When he was about to approach the enemy's ship, he suddenly roared into the sky with Gang Qi and bombarded him in the direction of Zeng Guofan.
"Wind ban!"
On the Hunan Army warship, Zeng Guofan saw this and immediately activated the power of his soul to connect with his soldiers and draw their strength through the Qi machine. His own momentum suddenly increased.
He stretched out his hand and Zhang Hao, who was jumping in the air, suddenly stopped, and the wind around him stopped flowing, like a prey caught in a spider's web.
The clipper Zhang Hao was riding on also seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier and was blocked in the distance.
"Fire the arrow!"
Upon seeing this, the generals of the Hunan Army immediately shouted orders. Thousands of crossbowmen stood out from several warships not far away. The crossbows and arrows in their hands were stained with a faint blue light and seemed to be able to pierce everything.
Zeng Guofan again
Reach out a little, these crossbow arrows shine brightly and get his blessing.
Whoosh whoosh!
Crossbow arrows roared across the sky, covering Zhang Hao immediately.
Many crossbow arrows even penetrated Zhang Hao's body, almost turning him into a hedgehog...
"How brave!"
When He Ruobi, Lu Meng, and Yang Kan, who were commanding the navy, saw this, their faces showed anger, and they all rode the strong wind into the sky. The sky suddenly changed color. Among them, He Ruobi reached out and grabbed it, and the endless wind and thunder turned into a spear.
boom!
The spear tore through the sky and the earth, pierced through the void, and along with the sonic boom cloud, directly shattered Zeng Guofan's banning method.
The next moment, Zhang Hao's body fell.
Lu Meng waved his hand, and a water column appeared on the water, like a wave, and brought Zhang Hao back to the warship.
He glanced around and saw that except for Zhang Hao's head, which was subconsciously protected, other parts of his body were pierced by crossbow arrows...
"Fortunately, nothing serious!"
Fortunately, Zhang Hao's aura has not disappeared. With the strong vitality of the ninth-level general and Daxia's elixir, any serious injury can be treated as long as he does not die on the spot.
Boom!
At this time, He Ruobi and Yang Kan took action personally, commanding the navy to tear through the Hunan Army's obstruction, and jointly beat Zeng Guofan until he vomited blood and fell.
Many generals of the Hunan Army came forward to resist, but were killed by them...
Lin Renzhao led the navy to seize the opportunity to divide and encircle the Hunan Army's navy, beating the Hunan Army's navy to pieces, and a large number of Hunan Army warships began to flee.
Lost!
There is no doubt that the Hunan army was defeated.
Whether it is the strength of the generals, the eliteness of the soldiers, or the strength of the two sides, the gap is very obvious.
Zeng Guofan was good at forging strongholds and fighting dull battles.
This tactic is very good and is most suitable for civil servants to lead troops! But there is a very important premise, that is, one's own power must be better than that of the other party.
Only when you have an entire dynasty behind you to deal with an enemy that is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, can you use your strength to hurt others like this!
