It's not that Wang Jing and his ministers don't care about Cao Wei's situation, but the strategic direction of Daxia Dynasty itself is not the Central Plains. Daxia only needs to control Xuzhou so that Cao Wei cannot completely annex Qingzhou in a short time.
As for whether Cao Cao proclaims himself emperor or not, it will have little impact on Daxia.
Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, but his name was more pleasant, and it could not improve Cao Wei's power. If he wanted to increase his power, he still needed to sort out his internal affairs and fight externally.
After finishing the discussion, the ministers began to retire and started busy according to their respective responsibilities.
The few bachelors from the Ministry of Civil Affairs should take advantage of the first half year to stabilize the place as much as possible.
There is also the Privy Council. The soldiers of Daxia have just finished the war and still need time to rest.
However, the soldiers who went south were only part of Daxia's army. There were still soldiers and horses left behind, as well as the guards and county soldiers in various prefectures and counties.
These soldiers were all jealous when they saw that their colleagues had made great achievements in the Southern Expedition, received generous rewards, were promoted to high positions, received a large number of resources from the government, and even had training methods.
There is no longer a big war, but the four border territories that have just been merged into Daxia still need small-scale fights to exterminate those unruly dragons and snakes that disobey.
There are generals in Anqing and Lin'an, so they don't need too much attention.
However, in addition to these two places, Daxia also received some land to the north and east of Xuzhou. This was the land that Gao Huan agreed to cede in order to ask Daxia to rescue the siege.
In this place, Gao Huan is only the nominal ruler. There are dragons and snakes in the place, and there are countless heroes hiding here.
These are all hidden dangers of future government rule and can be eradicated if necessary.
To deal with the roughness of these places, Daxia did not use the army. Instead, he asked a group of guardsmen to scatter their nets, like netting fish in a pond, to screen these places.
Wherever he passed, the sky was filled with blood and fire.
But this blood fire is the flame that burns away the filth and brings the phoenix to nirvana, rather than the blood of wanton killing and countless innocent souls.
Time passed quickly.
Wang Jing stayed in the Jinling Palace. In addition to handling some government affairs every day, he went to Daozhengsi and Tiangongyuan to inspect to see if he could find any magic weapon that could be popularized in the military or among the people.
There is also the use of Daxia's Qi to continuously understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and add to his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, so that when the ninth-level heavenly master comes, Wang Jing will also break through the limit and step into this level.
Only one's own strength is truly powerful.
If he is powerful and has the power to control the world and the general trend of the world, then he is truly invincible. Even the fierce generals of the ninth level of heaven will not dare to come to Jinling to attack him.
Cultivation is not something that happens overnight.
Wang Jing has not forgotten the queen and concubines in the harem. These concubines are all rare and stunning in the world. Once they enter the palace, they are his women.
If left alone in the harem and ignored for a long time, it would be too much of a waste of natural resources.
Cultivation, management, and leisurely enjoyment of the gentle countryside are not incompatible. Real practice should be relaxed, tightened and loosened. This is the most authentic method.
During this period of time, the concubines in the harem who were not pregnant became pregnant one after another, even Yu Ji and Sun Shangxiang who had just entered the palace were no exception.
After becoming a top ninth-level creature, Wang Jing's life essence is completely different from that of ordinary people.
According to common sense, the higher the life level of a creature, the more difficult it is for an heir to be born.
However, Wang Jing practices the method of true dragon. If he uses the method of transformation, he can even become a real dragon. The true dragon can transform all things in the world, and its ability to reproduce is extraordinary.
Wang Jingnai has the body of a true dragon, and he also has the ability to reproduce without suppression.
It is conceivable that if Wang Jing does not control himself, the royal bloodline of Daxia will appear in large numbers over time, but with every generation, the bloodline of the clan will become weaker.
One or two hundred years later, ordinary people might have a trace of Wang Jing's blood in their bodies.
However, at this time, the bloodline of the Daxia royal family was still relatively weak.
Counting the pregnant concubines in the harem, after the children in their bellies were born, there were only a dozen children, not even as many as Zhu Yuanzhang's children.
Not even close.
While the Daxia Dynasty continued to consolidate its internal affairs and spread its tentacles to villages and towns, some changes also occurred in the surrounding situation.
There weren’t many waves in Xuzhou.
After Cao Cao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was busy consolidating his basic base and reorganizing his troops to prepare for the next dispatch of troops. However, Gao Huan recognized the reality and knew that he was no match for Cao Cao, so he handed over administrative power to his son. Gao Cheng.
Part of the power in the army was handed over to Gao Yang.
To be honest, apart from being scheming and capable of bending and stretching, Gao Huan's abilities in other aspects are simply not as good as those of his two sons.
In the history of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan mainly commanded the six towns of Xianbei in Jinyang, and Gao Cheng handled the administrative and internal affairs of other places.
And Gao Yang was also very powerful. Without being drunk, he excelled in both domestic affairs and military affairs. In ten years, he brought Northern Qi to the peak of the dynasty.
With Gao Cheng and Gao Yang joining forces, they are enough to compare with Cao Cao.
It's a pity that the reputation of the Beast Dynasty of the Northern Qi Dynasty is too bad to attract those civil servants and generals who have left their names in history. They cannot compare with Cao Wei. Even if Daxia occupied Xuzhou and threatened Cao Wei from the flanks to show support, Gao Qi could only The defeat was just a little later.
Sooner or later they will be defeated.
Gao Huan seemed to have seen this, so he kept sending envoys to Hebei to contact Qian Yan, hoping to form an alliance with the Murong family.
If they can form an alliance with the Murong clan, then they can still fight Cao Cao.
The spies of the Great Xia Dynasty have penetrated as far north as Hebei, and a large amount of information is sent every day. After the Military Intelligence Department was divided into two parts, each performed its own duties, and the two chief officers began to get involved and worked very hard.
Among them, Wu Yong personally went to Xuzhou to take charge and used his ability to find out the secrets of the intended alliance between Gao Qi and the Murong family. His ability was recognized by Wang Jing.
Wang Jing only paid attention to the situation in the north occasionally and didn't pay too much attention to it.
His main concerns were to the west and south.
Chen Youliang of Jiujiang to the west has been aware of He Ruobi's threat during this period, and is trying his best to recruit soldiers, train soldiers and horses, and constantly sends envoys to the country.
In the south of Jiujiang, although there are no big forces, there are many small and medium-sized forces. The mountains and rivers here make it difficult to annex each other. These small and medium-sized forces have many soldiers and horses.
Chen Youliang's envoys kept contacting them with the truth of lips and teeth, hoping to form an alliance with them.
Of course, envoys from the Daxia Dynasty also kept passing through, fighting openly and covertly with Chen Youliang's envoys. Some forces who did not have much ambition and only thought about family wealth and wealth were persuaded by Daxia envoys.
There were also some ambitious power lords who were not willing to be easily annexed by Daxia. They secretly agreed to Chen Youliang's conditions and prepared to raise troops when Daxia sent troops.
Wang Jing had already handed over the matter of attacking Chen Youliang to He Ruobi and did not interfere anymore.
The one who made the biggest move was Xiang Chu of Jiangxia. Xiang Yan took advantage of the handover between Liu Biao and Liu Xiu's general Cen Peng and suddenly led his army north along the Han River. The offensive was extremely fierce.
Attacking all the way to the south of Yiyang, he was defeated by Cen Peng, who was waiting for work, and had to retreat to Zhongxiang. Xiang Yan and the Eastern Han Dynasty general Cen Peng began to fight continuously.
Cen Peng was able to attack and defend well, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, and was well-organized. Moreover, his own strength and on-the-battle command were also top-notch. He was not much inferior to Xiang Yan, and even had a certain advantage.
The Eastern Han Dynasty had a profound foundation, but Xiang Yan failed to seize Zhaiyang, so he was at a disadvantage. However, he had Fan Zeng to advise him, so he was not defeated.
Half a year later, only the land north of Zhongxiang was lost. Still persisting.
Among the founding fathers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng Yu, who was known as the number one among the twenty-eight generals, was actually a civil servant similar to Zhang Liang, with top talents in the world's general trends and strategic directions.
He was also top notch in governing local areas and handling the country's internal affairs. The only thing he was inferior to was his military ability. In history, in order to gain military merit, he commanded an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people and was defeated by the Red Eyebrow Army, and fled in embarrassment.
The overall ability is considered to be more than half of Wang Meng.
The only generals who truly have the ability to command an army are Cen Peng, Feng Yi, Geng Na, Wu Han, and Ma Yuan.
Geng Na looks like Han Xin, and he is full of wisdom when commanding the army.
In history, he entered the land of Qingxu and easily defeated Zhang Bu's army of hundreds of thousands. Needless to say, General Fubo's ability was Ma Yuan's.
The generals under Liu Xiu, except for Cen Peng who was assassinated, were basically included in the martial arts temple. Xiang Yanneng and Cen Peng have been entangled for more than half a year, which is already very good.
For Daxia.
The entanglement between Xiang Yan and Cen Peng is the best news. If Daxia can defeat Chen Youliang and occupy Jiujiang, the next target is Wuchang.
It is best for Daxia to send troops while Xiang Yan's main force is still in the north and has not returned, so that Daxia can have a 40% chance of winning.
"Zhao Song's actions are not small..."
When Wang Jing was watching the intelligence, he laughed a little when he saw Zhao Song moving the capital to Ningbo. From their actions, it can be seen that the arrival of Daxia's troops in the city was too exciting for them.
They would rather travel long distances and set their capital in Ningbo than get too close to Daxia.
Moving the capital is no small matter.
Until now, Zhao Song was still somewhat unstable internally, but even under such circumstances, Zhao Song was also expanding rapidly externally, especially to the south.
Their current goal is to occupy Fang La in Jin, Chuzhou and other places.
Fang La is Zhao Song's old rival.
When he first came to the world of Shenzhou, Fang La learned the lessons of historical defeats and did not publicize it with great fanfare. After learning about the situation of Zhao and Song Dynasty, he went to Jin and Chuzhou Prefecture to develop in places with dangerous mountains and rivers.
Fang La had many generals under his command, as well as some readers who were willing to defect. It manages Chuzhou Prefecture and Jin fairly well, and can be considered a medium-sized force.
If there had been no Daxia Southern Expedition, Zhao and Song would not have looked south so eagerly, and it might have been ten years before sending out troops for the expedition.
In ten years, Fang La can continue to expand and achieve some success.
Unfortunately.
Now Zhao Song, with the intention of losing money in the north and making up for it in the south, has set his sights on his territory and wants to annex his soldiers, horses and population.
Although the soldiers and horses of Zhao and Song were much weaker than the Xia army's soldiers.
But generals like Meng Gong and Han Shizhong were better than Fang La's men in terms of their abilities and trained soldiers.
If it weren't for the dangerous mountains and rivers as a barrier, Fang La wouldn't have been able to withstand it for even three months. "This...is also an opportunity"
When Wang Jing saw the news, he was slightly moved. The Song Army general who conquered Fang La was Han Shizhong who personally captured the opponent in history.
The two sides are old rivals.
Without Han Shizhong, Meng Gong was left alone to maintain the northern defense line, which was too thin.
It doesn't even need Wang Jing to take action personally, only Wei Rui, Chen Qingzhi and other generals are needed to attack all the way to Ningbo and march to the city again.
…
In Jinling City, the early morning sunshine spreads all over the spacious streets. It is already May of the seventh year of Taichu. It’s summer again.
The morning sun was not very hot. Many people and businessmen began to take advantage of the early morning to go to the streets. Many dim sum and steamed bun shops were already open on the street. Many people who needed to work had no time to cook, so they bought steamed buns with crystal coins and ate them to their fullest. After a meal, he started to go to various shops, commercial banks and government offices to work.
They are just like ordinary people in the source world who need to go to work, getting up every morning and working as hired workers to make a living. Jinling is the capital of Daxia.
Every month, many scholars, businessmen, and men and women with dreams come in who want to take root in Jinling. At the same time, there are also people who cannot gain a foothold in Jinling and leave with frustration.
Half a year has passed, and the streets and buildings in Jinling do not seem to have changed much. But the atmosphere was much different.
Half a year ago, Jinling looked extremely busy, but it always gave people a lively and superficial feeling, but now it is like the lead has been washed away. If a warlock who is good at observing Qi observes, he can see that Daxia's Qi is a real dragon. Lying in the void, breathing in and out continuously.
Every time he breathed in and out, endless illusory cloud energy came in and out, and Daxia's energy became calmer a little bit.
"Is this Jinling? We have been to Jinling before coming to this world. The Jinling of Zhao Song and the Jinling City of the Divine World are completely different!"
After the city gate opened, several men and women rode a cloud car to the street.
Seeing the complexity and cleanliness of the streets, they all opened their eyes wide.
The woman among them looks to be about twenty years old. Her figure seems graceful, but she also has a different kind of vitality and wildness, with a hint of sharpness between her eyebrows.
The few men around her, no matter in appearance or figure, do not look like businessmen, but heroes and warriors who are not easy to mess with.
The speaker was a bald monk.
He has a majestic body, and with his bare head he looks like a glaring King Kong. However, when he speaks, he does not have that fierce feeling. His tone is gentler and does not make people feel aggressive.
When they entered the city.
At a gatehouse in the distance towards the city gate, there were already two clerks in official uniforms, holding pens and writing down a few names.
"Deng Yuanjue...Fang Baihua..."
A few names stand out.
