There was no major war between the Han army and the Xia army, but small-scale fights continued. Basically, the Han army abandoned a certain city, and the Xia army sent a small number of troops to pursue and take over the cities and counties.
There are no big battles, but small battles.
However, by the time Wang Jing arrived in Luoyang, most of the Han army's troops and horses that could be withdrawn had withdrawn. Even Yang Hu, who was stationed at Yinque Pass, had already retreated.
Soldiers and horses from the Eastern Route Army and Nanyang Camp gathered in Luoyang.
After the West Route Army captured Xiangyang, Yue Fei also led various generals to Luoyang.
After everyone arrived, Wang Jing held a banquet in the palace in Luoyang to celebrate the success of many civil and military officers.
The Eastern Han Dynasty built the city of Luoyang in a majestic and majestic manner, and the palace was also filled with the majesty of the Han Dynasty. The palaces, palaces, gardens, and pavilions are all full of elegance.
When the Eastern Han Dynasty withdrew, they did not follow the practice of dynasty collapse in the history of the world, and burned the palace with fire.
Except for the cleared treasure house and various decorative rare treasures, the palace as a whole was kept relatively intact. The eunuch chief who followed Wang Jing sent palace people to clean and decorate for half a day, and then cleared out a small half of the palace, so that it could be used The emperor settled down.
[In view of the general environment,
The place where Wang Jing held the banquet was in the Xuanming Hall. This hall was originally the place where the dynasty listened to politics, but now it is regarded as a place where his ministers and countless soldiers celebrate their achievements to show their importance.
In the hall, there were Gao Xi, Liu Bowen, and some civil servants who had been transferred to the Central Plains to handle government affairs. The military generals were headed by Yue Fei, Han Xin, Fu Youde, and He Ruobi, and there were many heavenly generals under them.
Civil servants and military generals gathered together.
Before Wang Jing appeared, all the ministers in the palace were talking and joking with each other, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
After going north, we fought fiercely for more than a year, and now that we have won a great victory, we can finally relax a little.
In the corner of the main hall, there are still several representatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty's wealthy families who have not left Luoyang. Deng Yu, Kou Xun and others left with most of their family records and family members, but there are still some people who are unwilling to leave their hometown.
They were willing to gamble on the ambition of the Daxia Emperor.
Many heavenly warriors in the palace have the power to destroy cities and destroy armies. Their personal power is gathered together, and their powerful power makes their aura extraordinary.
If ordinary people looked at them, they would only feel that they were noble people and would not dare to look up.
And those with stronger spiritual power can feel the terrifying power contained in these heavenly warriors, like the power of a stormy sea. The more sensitive their mental induction is, the paler their faces will turn, and they will not dare to move at all.
"Now that Luoyang has fallen, our court's strategic goals have been completed. According to normal circumstances, our court should withdraw its troops and rest, and dispatch generals and officers to various counties in the Central Plains to digest these newly conquered territories..."
"There will be no more use of weapons in a short period of time!"
Murong Shaozong and Gao Aocao were next to each other and talking softly to each other.
They were both generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although their friendship was just that, in the world of China, as acquaintances at the same time, their friendship quickly grew. The reason why Gao Aocao joined Daxia was because Murong Shaozong had some credit. .
"It's a pity that I didn't make enough contributions before we invaded Luoyang. I missed this opportunity. I don't know when I will get the chance to go out again!"
Gao Aocao sighed regretfully.
His time to defect to Daxia was too short, and he did not make much merit after surrendering. When he surrendered, he was conferred an official position by Wang Jing. Without merit, it would be difficult to continue to move up.
Gao Aocao was still very interested in galloping on the battlefield to make achievements and promote his reputation.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds in the future... By the way, if you want to make meritorious deeds, after His Majesty divides the Central Plains and Qingqi provinces into provinces and counties, you can take the initiative to ask for a tassel to lead the Qingqi to clear out the bandits and bandits in each place."
"Although the effectiveness of suppressing bandits and quelling chaos is not as great as opening up new territories, it can at least allow you to integrate into the army and gain a firm foothold!"
Murong Shaozongwei
He makes plans.
After writing a letter to persuade Gao Aocao to surrender, the two of them were regarded as members of the same faction by others in the Great Xia Dynasty. Murong Shaozong also understood this, and coupled with Gao Aocao's personal strength, he Intention to continue to deepen the friendship with the other party.
As the number of powerful people in the Heaven Realm increased in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Nanliang Clan, Yuancong Clan, Huaixi Clan and other factions that were originally divided according to dynasties also gradually changed.
The leader of the faction automatically became a famous minister and general whose life level reached the heavenly realm.
Factions below the Heaven Realm, such as the Southern Tang Faction, which was relatively strong at the beginning, are slowly losing their voice in the court. That is to say, the two concubines Zhou Ehuang and Zhou Nuying are still favored in the harem, and they have not been completely eliminated.
On the way to Xuanming Hall, there are spacious corridors and numerous pavilions. A road leads from the rear to the palace, passing through several main halls, with various flowers and trees planted on both sides.
However, it is now the autumn and winter season, and most of the flowers and trees have withered, and the scenery is no longer the same as before.
The sun shines through the tall trees, casting shadows on the ground.
Wang Jingzheng came with people walking lightly.
While walking, he talked to Yu Yunwen beside him.
As the head of the Secretariat Supervisory Office, Yu Yunwen's responsibilities were the same as those of the servants in the Han Dynasty. He needed to communicate with Wang Jing internally and externally and listen to his orders at any time.
"After entering the city, General Yang Kan has led the personal guards to clean up the imperial city. General Murong has also led his troops to blockade every square in the city, killing green skins and gangsters to appease the people."
"Our army has too many troops and horses to be stationed in the city, so the three generals Han Xin, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang each led their troops and stationed themselves in the royal gardens outside the city..."
"Finally, there are the aristocratic families left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Most of the remaining aristocratic families have submitted letters and are willing to abide by all the laws of our dynasty and donate their land, slaves, and private military servants."
Yu Yunwen walked on one side, constantly reporting the situation in Luoyang.
The capture of Luoyang is not the end, but a new beginning.
The frontal attack and fighting of the army is very simple. The stronger ones win and the weaker ones lose. But governing the world is not a battlefield battle.
It requires skill and sometimes a certain amount of compromise.
Wang Jing nodded slightly and said calmly: "Most of the wealthy families are willing to abide by Daxia's laws. That means there are still some wealthy families who are unwilling to surrender. What do you think we should do with these people?"
Without thinking, Yu Yunwen immediately said: "Kill! In troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy code. They are neither willing to follow the Eastern Han Dynasty to evacuate, nor to integrate into Daxia. It can be seen that they are all short-sighted people."
"These people are so stupid that they will block the passage between the court and the local area. They are doing a lot of harm but no good. All we can do is kill these people!"
Yu Yunwen was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous historical minister.
But the civil servants of the Southern Song Dynasty were not all pedantic people who only knew how to talk, talk about saints, and talk about benevolence and righteousness. When it's time to resort to thunderbolt tactics, he won't show any mercy.
"well said!"
Wang Jing glanced at him with admiration.
The previous Secretariat Supervisors were all outstanding figures in history, and they all have a great chance of becoming important ministers in the three provinces in the future.
After a while, let Yu Yunwen be released.
The Central Plains was in dire straits, so Yu Yunwen was asked to take charge of the internal affairs of a certain province. After staying there for a year, he would be qualified to be transferred to the central government.
This is true for Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng.
"After the celebration banquet, you go and send an order to Zhang Hao, asking him to lead his troops to kill all these powerful men who are unwilling to surrender. Kill all the adult men and send the women to the Jiaofang Division."
Wang Jing said casually.
With the improvement of the official system of the Great Xia Dynasty, Jiaofangsi also appeared.
However, the Jiaofangsi of Daxia was different from the Jiaofangsi of other dynasties. The Jiaofangsi of other dynasties were similar to government-run brothels, and they were even more serious about killing those who committed crimes.
The Jiaofang Division of Daxia mainly resettled the prison officials whose homes had been confiscated. The female Juan were trained as dancers and musicians. Those with outstanding appearance stayed in the capital, while those with average appearance and skills were sent to the local provinces.
They are like the dance theaters of later generations. When performed in local places, they can appease people's hearts and even influence public opinion. The officials of Daxia were not allowed to enter. It is distinguished from the brothels visited by officials of other dynasties.
At this time. Wang Jing had arrived at the Xuanming Hall, and the eunuchs and maids serving outside quickly bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
the eunuch shouted loudly.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty may live forever!"
The ministers in the palace who were joking with each other immediately stood up and bowed down. Wang Jing walked quickly to the top.
"Come on, I'm hosting a banquet today to celebrate your family's success. No need to be polite, just take your seats!"
Wang Jing smiled.
At today's celebration banquet, Wang Jing did not want to talk about military and political matters. He mainly wanted the officials to relax and release the pressure of the past year. After he took his seat, he deliberately joked with Gao Xi, Han Xin and others.
Upon seeing this, the ministers also understood, and the atmosphere in the palace became relaxed.
The pretty palace maids were holding delicacies of spiritual fruits, wine containing extremely strong spiritual energy, and meat from exotic animals of the seventh level or above. The spiritual fruit and wine placed in front of each courtier were extremely valuable.
Yue Fei didn't like drinking, so he just whispered to Han Xin beside him.
Fu Youde, Han Qinhu and He Ruobi drank happily, talked and laughed, and changed cups.
While drinking and talking, the dancers and musicians who originally belonged to the Eastern Han Dynasty Palace came up and began to dance gracefully.
Wait until the moon rises above the branches. This celebration banquet has just ended.
…
Return to the palace.
After Wang Jing took a bath and changed clothes, he waved the palace maid to leave, and sat cross-legged on the bed alone, secretly urging his soul to explore the origin of the leisurely and vast world, and once again saw the seemingly supreme fruition.
On the steps leading to the fruition position, Wang Jing could feel that he was closer to his goal.
"One more step!"
"There's only one step left!"
Wang Jing's soul felt that the supreme status was like the warm sun,
As long as you stretch out your palm, you can touch the edge of the sun.
However, when Wang Jing stretched out his palm, he found that he was still a little short of the sun. There is only one last step left to successfully win the final victory.
After unifying the south, Wang Jing was only in the middle of the steps, but he successively attacked Cao Wei and the Eastern Han Dynasty, causing the death of Cao Cao, the great hero, and Liu Xiu, the son of destiny.
The Qi feedback Wang Jing received pushed him directly to the eighth step.
As long as we climb the ninth step... the game of hegemony in the Chinese world will end here.
"However, this distance is difficult to walk!"
Wang Jing sighed secretly in his heart.
After seizing the Central Plains, the Daxia Dynasty became a forgotten one.
If you want to continue to expand externally, you will inevitably encounter full resistance from the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties.
Moreover, it was not easy to choose the direction of expansion of the Daxia Dynasty.
In other words, we face strong enemies to the north and west.
If Daxia expands to the west, it will reach Guanzhong to the west from the Central Plains, and Bashu to the west from Jiangling. To attack Guanzhong, you need to attack Hangu Pass, and to attack Bashu, you have to go upstream from the Yangtze River. The terrain is also extremely steep.
Daxia's flying boat, which is said to be able to cross dangerous mountains and rivers, is not omnipotent.
Just like the history of the original world, millions of troops fought against each other in the world war. Airdrops can play a big role as soldiers at certain times, but they have little impact on the overall war. It is also impossible to directly cross certain strategic locations.
When the Xia army marched north to the Central Plains, they mainly relied on flying boats to catch the Han army off guard. After other famous ministers and generals reacted, the role of flying boats would decline rapidly.
Perhaps, the biggest role of flying boats in the future is to replace cloud carts and become the first choice for mobilizing troops, horses, and food.
And expanding to the north...the direction of expansion is Hebei.
At present, Li Tang has captured most of Hebei. After the Western Han Dynasty sent Hussar General Huo Qubing to raid Yanmen and contain Li Tang's main force, Hebei led by Li Jing
The Tang army's attack speed slowed down a bit.
However, the impact was not too great. With Li Jing's ability, he quickly captured Youzhou.
If Daxia goes north at this time, while the main force of the Tang army is in the north, he can capture some territory in the south... but then he will inevitably have to fight Li Tang in a life-and-death struggle.
"Forget it, think about these things later. Daxia has just pacified the Central Plains. More than two million elite soldiers and horses have been fighting fiercely for more than a year. The morale of the army is not at its peak... and all the Central Plains must be cleared one by one."
"To send troops by force is unpopular!"
"Well, it's no surprise that once the remaining generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty join Liu Che and the Western Han Dynasty unites with the Shu Han Dynasty, they will soon start a decisive battle with the Qin State to compete for Guanzhong."
"When the battle between the Han army and Qin reaches a critical moment, Daxia should have pacified all parts of the Central Plains and can send out troops again... By then, we may be able to take advantage of the situation to launch an assault."
It would be best to seize the land of Bashu. Daxia does not need to destroy the country anymore. As long as he seizes and digests another piece of territory, Wang Jing has a hunch in his heart that he can take the final step.
It doesn't matter if we fail to capture Bashu.
You can also choose to march into Lingnan and other places, conquer the Indochina Peninsula, and hunt the dragons in the outside world to benefit yourself...
Wang Jingping calmed down his thoughts, and his soul slowly withdrew from the origin of the world.
Outside the main hall, the moon and stars were sparse, and their brilliance was like water, shining between the pillars, eaves and beams, making the main hall look quiet.
…
the next day.
Wang Jing summoned the general managers and deputy general managers of the three major camps, as well as Gao Xi and other important ministers from the three provinces in the Chongde Hall in the palace.
This time, the ministers were summoned to discuss the strategy of sending troops.
It was about how to stabilize the Central Plains, how to deploy defenses at the edges of the territory, and how to set up garrison military towns.
