In early August of the eleventh year of Taichu, Xie Xuan and Yang Su's troops turned south and attacked Luyang Pass after pretending to attack Luoyang. Under the surprise attack of two powerful men from the Heaven Realm, the Han general guarding the pass was killed on the spot, and the pass changed hands.
In mid-August, Qi Jiguang's army passed through Wadian and invaded the vicinity of Nanyang.
Two armies of the Great Xia Dynasty, one from the south and one from the north, threatened Nanyang, and the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Nanyang was in danger.
Nowadays, wars are breaking out all over China. The Eastern Han Dynasty's foreign aid is either cut off or restricted, and its army is stationed in Hulao Xiangyang, unable to move lightly.
Without enough power, the Eastern Han Dynasty could only watch Nanyang fall.
Hulao Pass and Xiangyang City, which were originally important defense towns, now seem to be holding back the Eastern Han Dynasty's own hands and feet. Their hands and feet are trapped, and naturally they cannot stop the sharp blade stabbing into the waist and abdomen.
At the end of August, the two armies of Daxia met in Nanyang.
boom!
Meteors were falling from the sky, and Dou Rong, an important minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty who was stationed in Nanyang, struggled to defend the city. He knew clearly that there were three heavenly realms on the opposite side, but he gritted his teeth and did not choose to give up.
The result was obvious, Dou Rong fell on the spot in less than ten moves.
"Nanyang has been taken, this is the first step!"
Xie Xuan looked at the blood scattered in the air. Nanyang City's defensive formation was forcibly broken by the three of them. The formation was broken, the vitality was shaken, and the heaven and earth energy was pulled. At this time, the void for hundreds of miles around changed. There must be some redness.
It's like God is saying goodbye to a strong man when he falls.
Of course, this is just a coincidence. Dou Rong's ability is good, but it is far from the level where the sky can send him off with sadness.
Won victory! Won victory!
At this time, after the death of Dou Rong, the gates of Nanyang City were opened wide, and the soldiers and horses under Qi Jiguang and Xie Xuan cheered. The soldiers and horses they brought to Nanyang City were not many, but they were all elite.
But when this incident spread outside, others would only think that the Xia army defeated the many with less. With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they captured an important city garrisoned by 200,000 to 300,000 troops.
Others will not carefully examine the strength gap between the soldiers on both sides.
Zhang Xutuo was leading people into the town to suppress the rebels and clean up the chaos.
According to the previously planned strategy, they would stay in Nanyang City, and when the supporting troops from the rear arrived, they would begin to sweep through the counties and cities throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After capturing Nanyang, Qi Jiguang and Xie Xuan immediately conveyed the news of victory to Bianliang.
An hour later, His Majesty the Emperor's decree came.
Daxia established Nanyang Camp in Nanyang, with Xie Xuan as the general manager of the camp, and Qi Jiguang and Yang Su as deputy general managers of the camp.
Three hundred thousand soldiers have moved north to Xuzhou.
If Yang Su or Zhang Xutuo lead a flying boat, they can pick up these 300,000 soldiers and horses and open up the passage between Yingchuan, Runan and Nanyang.
…
October has arrived in a blink of an eye.
In September, Xia Army general Pei Sui led an army of 300,000 to conquer more than ten cities and pacified all the unconquered cities in the east of Nanyang.
At this time, most of Nanyang, except for the counties and cities far away in the west, had fallen into the hands of Daxia.
However, in these newly captured cities, local wealthy families frequently rebelled, and the place was not stable.
The people of Nanyang didn't have much favorable impression of Daxia either.
The rule of Daxia seems very frivolous here. Only when the Eastern Han Dynasty is completely defeated and then supplemented by methods to calm the people can the people's hearts and minds be slowly regained.
Yang Su led the newly arrived troops to sweep north and south, quelling the dissatisfaction.
After the troops of Daxia were stationed, the grain and grass supplies from the rear began to be continuously transported to the Nanyang camp through the passage that Pei Sui had drilled, allowing the newly set camp to grow rapidly.
By the beginning of October, the soldiers and horses in the Nanyang camp were reorganized and trained, and they continued to raid various places for combat training. The momentum of the soldiers was increasing day by day.
"It's time to send out troops!"
On this day, the flags were flying in the wind, and the soldiers on the school field formed a large formation, horizontal and vertical, neat and orderly, with no sign of the immaturity of before.
Qi Jiguang followed Xie Xuan and others to stand on the general stage, his eyes sweeping over the endless soldiers in the school field.
These soldiers and horses were all urgently trained by him for more than a month.
The 300,000 soldiers and horses mobilized from the rear are originally Daxia's soldiers, not just recruited new soldiers. With Qi Jiguang's talent in military training, he can connect them in one month and become soldiers who do not belong to the east and west camps. Soldiers and horses.
Xie Xuan sighed slightly and praised: "General Qi's method of training troops is really powerful. With the elite troops in hand, we can sweep the enemy's army just around the corner!"
Qi Jiguang just smiled and said nothing more.
"Now that the troops and horses have been reorganized, according to His Majesty's wishes, our army can go north to attack Ruzhou!"
"Yang Su, you lead our troops as the vanguard! I will lead the Chinese army as your back-up..."
Xie Xuan started to give orders.
"The last general takes command!"
Yang Su immediately took over the forward task.
…
In mid-October, the Xia army came to Ruzhou, and Yang Su personally took action to capture the Ruzhou government office.
The soldiers and horses of Daxia were like a raging tide. With the advantage of having more soldiers and generals, after dividing the Eastern Han Dynasty from Nanyang into two, the Xia army took advantage of the trend to attack various important towns in the hinterland of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Nanyang and Ruzhou were originally the hinterland of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but at this time they were continuously captured by the Daxia Dynasty and merged with the eastern part of the Central Plains.
After these lands were captured. The war potential and national destiny of the Eastern Han Dynasty were directly cut in half.
Wang Jing was still sitting in Bianliang at this time.
With the good news coming one after another, Wang Jing's mood has remained good during this period.
There is a high platform in the palace.
This is a building built by Cao Wei. There are pavilions on the high platform. In the pavilions, you can overlook the vast garden scenery of the palace. It is suitable for climbing up to see far away and broaden your mind.
Wang Jing stood on the high platform, his mind seemed to sink into the distant and endless void.
In the surface void of the origin of the world.
Wang Jing's mind was observing from top to bottom, and he could see the changes in the energy of China. Among them, a yellow dragon in the north of the Yellow River was swallowing up a large amount of clouds, and a red dragon was entrenched in Youzhou, covered with bruises...
The Black Dragon and the Red Dragon in Guanzhong fought. One of the Black Dragon's sharp claws reached Hanzhong in the south, and the Red Dragon also had a sharp claw that came to the top of Bingzhou...
The three dragons, the black dragon, the red dragon, and the yellow dragon, restrain each other. Among them, the aura of the yellow dragon representing Li Tang continues to grow and has surpassed the black dragon, the red dragon.
The black dragon is from Qin, the red dragon is from Western Han Dynasty, and the yellow dragon is from Li Tang.
The three are all the top dynasties in the Chinese world, but they are distinguishing themselves, and there is a gap.
In Bashu, a red dragon slightly smaller than that of the Western Han Dynasty, baring its teeth and claws, collided with one of the black dragon's claws... When Daxia was just founded, the Shu Han Dynasty was ranked among the top three in China.
But as time went by, Shu Han, who was very powerful in the early stage, gradually became mediocre.
Now among many dynasties, it is even at the bottom.
There is no other reason, it is simply that Shu Han's own development is not enough,
Whether a dynasty is strong or not depends on its territory and population, as well as the strength of its soldiers and horses, and the number of ninth-level warriors.
These are the pillars that maintain the power of the dynasty.
The territory of the Shu Han was limited to terrain. The north could not break through the blockade of Qin, the east was blocked by Daxia, the south had expanded to the extreme, and the west was surrounded by plateau mountains.
Although the Qin State and the Western Han Dynasty were at loggerheads in Guanzhong, the territory of the two dynasties was not limited to Guanzhong. Meng Tian of the Qin State, for example, had led the army in continuous conquests over the years and had already incorporated Longyou Liangzhou into the Qin State.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing went north and captured Hetao, Yinxia and other places. Needless to say, Li Tang is now making rapid progress in Hebei.
In contrast, only Shu Han was spinning in circles.
Also, there are not many famous ministers and generals who defected to Shu Han, or there are not enough top talents. Other dynasties either have hundreds of years of heritage, or like Daxia, they drew on the heritage of many southern dynasties in history.
The heritage of Bashu... Cheng Han during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the former Shu and later Shu during the Five Dynasties period, had no famous ministers or generals.
Since ancient times, the Shu Han has been the strongest in the Shu regime. There is no way to learn from the heritage of other dynasties like Daxia.
Wang Jing just glanced toward the southwest of China and then changed his gaze.
Shu Han is not his enemy.
In other words, he is not his enemy now. The current enemy of the Daxia Dynasty is only the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The land of the Central Plains.
The real dragon, which represents the Qi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been covered in blood. The dragon fought in the wild, and its blood was black and yellow. The waist and abdomen of the real dragon transformed by the Qi showed signs of being severed, and large pieces of flesh and blood were scattered all over the sky...
Every piece of flesh and blood represents a city of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The originally powerful true dragon was constantly torn apart by the golden dragon transformed by the Great Xia Dynasty, and there were already signs of dying.
Below the original void. The one with the most powerful aura is the golden dragon transformed from Daxia Dynasty’s aura...
The golden dragon stretches across China, with half of its body coiled in the south. Its two sharp claws stretch out to both sides of the Central Plains and tear it apart. It bathes in the real dragon of the Eastern Han Dynasty and continues to grow stronger.
"The Qi number reflects the void. Although it may not come true, in most cases it is relatively accurate!"
Wang Jing returned with satisfaction after visiting the void with his spiritual thoughts.
After seeing the changes in Shenzhou's energy, he had no doubts about the final victory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even deep in his heart, the chance of winning the biggest fruit of the Chinese world has been increased by 30%.
The Daxia Dynasty, which was already very tyrannical, occupied more than 60% of China after annexing the Eastern Han Dynasty. It will allow Wang Jing to take a few more steps towards achieving his career status.
The only hope for the three great dynasties of Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties is to join forces to fight against Daxia, and to unite vertically and horizontally.
It's just that the three dynasties were not of one mind, and the contradiction between Qin and Han alone could not be reversed.
It is very difficult for them to join forces.
Returning to the pavilion on the high platform, the maid gently brought the rare spiritual fruit. Wang Jing casually pinched a red fruit. This spiritual fruit vaguely exuded a halo of fairy energy and contained extremely rich essence.
Ordinary people can increase their qi and blood just by smelling it, making people jump to the point of qi and blood. If it is sold to the outside world, it will not be a problem to sell hundreds of gold crystals.
But in Wang Jing's place, there is no difference between fairy fruits and ordinary fruits.
He leaned on the couch and waved casually, and two stunning-looking maids immediately stepped forward. One of them squeezed Wang Jing's shoulders, while the other held his calf and pressed and tapped it.
The faint fragrance of a girl wafted.
Lowering his gaze slightly, he could see the skin as crystal clear as snow, as well as the bright red dotted on the undulating mountains and rivers. Wang Jing could enjoy the warm fragrance of nephrite with just a slight gesture.
However, Wang Jing's eyes did not stop at the two stunning maids.
In terms of appearance and temperament, these two legitimate daughters from wealthy families cannot compare with Zhen Mi.
Wang Jing and Zhen Mi stayed in Bianliang for such a long time. Zhen Mi had been pregnant with Wang Jing's blood for a long time a few days ago.
Under this situation, coupled with the constant military reports of good news coming from far away from the front line, Wang Jing focused his attention on military and national affairs and had no idea of entering Wenwen Township again.
"Occupying more than 60% of the land in China... If in the history of the Origin World, we could have 50% of the territory, we would be able to form a general trend of dominating the world! But in the world of China, if we want to form a general trend, we must capture Hebei or Guanzhong. "
Wang Jing's eyes seemed to stop at the original void he had just seen, and he was still thinking about the changes in the energy of China.
In history, in those troubled times when princes competed with each other, whenever a strong man appeared and captured half of the world, a general trend of unification of the world would be brewed.
This trend is difficult to reverse.
For example, Li Tang conquered Guanzhong and captured Bashu, which created the situation before Qin unified the world. There was a precedent for Qin's unification, so many people at that time believed that Li Tang was the most promising to unify the world. This is the general trend if people's hearts are like this.
Therefore, before Li Tang completely captured the Central Plains, Du Fuwei from Jianghuai and Luo Yi from Youzhou returned from afar.
Of course, once this general trend is interrupted and the new dynasty's ambition to dominate the world is interrupted, it will not be so easy to renew the loan.
Such as Cao Wei's Battle of Chibi, Northern Song Dynasty's Chariot God's Battle of Youzhou...
Cao Cao's failure in Chibi led to the formation of the Three Kingdoms. The chariot god fled south in a donkey cart, losing the elites of hundreds of battles accumulated in the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. From then on, the land of Youyan was completely lost. Until the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Han family was not allowed to The dynasty returns here.
The princes in troubled times in history were all dragons before they succeeded.
In the world of China, the major dynasties have already formed the Qi Shu True Dragon... If you want to destroy the True Dragon, you must send out an army to defeat it head-on. It is impossible for the opponent to surrender without a fight.
"His Majesty!"
Wang Jing closed his eyes slightly and his thoughts were diverging.
A eunuch came to the high platform and called softly.
"The camp on the east road has sent urgent military information!"
As soon as Wang Jing opened his eyes, the eunuch reported quickly.
Taking the military report casually, Wang Jing straightened up immediately.
"The navy under Wei Rui has captured six water villages of the Han army, and the navy has entered Luoshui..."
Wang Jing's face showed joy.
The Yellow River and the Luoshui River meet just north of Hulao Pass. Where the two rivers meet, the Eastern Han Dynasty built a large number of water forts, which were originally important strongholds in the Eastern Han Dynasty's defense of Hanoi.
By opening up this place, the navy of Daxia can enter the waters of Luoshui and the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and swim all the way up. They can threaten Luoyang from below, and attack Xiaopingjin along the Yellow River from above.
This means that Daxia's soldiers and horses and navy can infiltrate to the rear of Hulao Pass. The importance of Hulao Pass was greatly reduced.
