back! Dongfang Yu went to Song County, found Fa Xun, and directly promoted him to the official position.

This time I joined the private sector and recruited two talents, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

On the morning of the fifth day, we transferred back to Dingzhou City.

After capturing Dingzhou, Dongfang Yu's total troops in Dingzhou had reached 150,000. Looking at the Qin State today, it occupies the land of three states. Wei Qing's troops on the grassland, the total military strength of Beiliang, plus the troops of Zhengzhou and Dingzhou, the total military strength of the Qin State at this time is already 380,000. So much, just shy of breaking through 400,000.

Three days later, Dongfang Yu explained to Bai Qi the affairs of Dingzhou and led the army back to the court.

Bai Qi was left behind, and for the matter of Dingzhou, he was granted the title of official in Xinjiang.

Huang Fu was the minister of internal affairs, Wei Tong was the deputy general, Yan Yan and Wuzhong were the generals, and they jointly guarded Dingzhou. Song Yi was the governor of Dingzhou Shipyard and supervised the construction of Dingzhou Shipyard.

The total number of troops left in Dingzhou reached 80,000.

There is no way, Dingzhou connects Jingzhou and Nanzhou, and 80,000 troops need to be heavily guarded and stationed here to prepare for emergencies.

Dongfang Yu wrote another letter and recalled Liu Wenqin and other generals back to Beiliang.

He appointed Wang Jian as general, Zhan Jun as deputy general, and Zhang Yi as military advisor. He led 50,000 Qin troops and settled in Zhengzhou. But this was not enough. Dongfang Yu immediately mobilized Beiliang's 50,000 troops and immediately entered Zhengzhou to coordinate with Zhengzhou's 50,000 troops.

Zhengzhou is located at the very border of Qin State and must be heavily guarded. With Yunzhou Dongfang Chang, Jingzhou Dongfang Jie, and Wanzhou whose intentions are unclear, Dongfang Yu naturally has to be careful.

This means that at this time Dongfangjie will also face pressure from hundreds of thousands of troops from Zhengzhou and Dingzhou of the Qin State.

Of course, King Chen Dongfangjie had 350,000 troops in Jingzhou, and his power had grown enough to threaten the safety of Zhengzhou and Dingzhou.

Naturally, Dongfangjie's 350,000 troops will not all defend Qin.

The situation in Jingzhou is also very difficult. The power of the kings of Chu and Qi in the east is not weaker than Dongfang Yu in the west. There is also the pressure from Wanzhou due north, and his 350,000 troops have also been divided a lot.

At least, Dongfangjie guarded the border of Jingyu with 50,000 troops.

At the border of Huaichuan River and the border of Jingyue, there are also 50,000 soldiers. Especially the battleship port in Jingzhou is home to almost Dongfangjie's most elite troops.

Thousands of warships, many large warships, are equipped with heavy artillery. And Dongfangjie's Jingnan City also has elite artillery troops and fire gun battalions, and! The number of artillery pieces is also quite large.

Jingnan, Chenwang Palace.

"Get out of the way, let Pan Zhang, Wang Ge, Qin Yanfeng, Bing Zheng and others come to the palace to see the orphans!" King Chen angrily said to the eunuchs who were following him closely.

"promise!"

The eunuch got an idea and ran back hurriedly.

Dongfang Yu captured Zhengzhou and Dingzhou, and stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the two states. His heart was clear and the sun and moon could be seen.

This is clearly an attempt to attack Jingzhou. How can this be done? In anger, he quickly ran to the palace and summoned the ministers of Chen State to discuss the matter.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of Qin in his heart, especially Dongfang Yu, who had pretended to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, and actually jumped on top of him. This was the most disgusting thing.

moment! Pan Zhang, Wang Ge, Qin Yanfeng, Bing Zheng and others quickly arrived at the palace. Many people don’t know, what kind of trick is your Majesty doing?

Didn’t I just finish the morning service? Before my buttocks were warmed up at home, the eunuch hurriedly took her back to the main hall.

"My king is a thousand years old!"

All the ministers bowed down.

Except for Bing Zheng, few people understand why the king is angry?

"You're all dead!" Dongfang Jie said coldly, sulking in his heart, "You are all lonely ministers, how come you have pig brains?"

"You've made me wait for so long! Don't you even want to live?"

Well!

The ministers were so frightened that their hearts beat rapidly.

"I will admit my guilt!"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were almost all elected officials from the Jingzhou gentry. There were very few talented people, and most of them were just trying to hold on to power!

There are only a few who are truly talented.

actually! There are many celebrities in Jingzhou, but unfortunately most of them were born in commoners. Dongfang Jie completely inherited the practices of his ancestors. The court officials appointed nobles, and then! The upward power was gradually shared among others.

Don't look at Dongfangjie at this time, he is extremely beautiful, but some power is still in the hands of the nobles.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here just to flatter me." Dongfang Jie rolled his eyes. "The Qin State captured Zhengzhou and Dingzhou, and then deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the two states. Everyone can see its ambition."

"You will come up with a solution as soon as possible. What should I do in Jingzhou?"

this……

Facing the King of Qin, most ministers could only think of surrender and peace as the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, no matter what Qin's wishes are, in my opinion, Your Majesty can send a general with an army of 100,000 troops to the border to respond to emergencies at will."

"As for Nanyang, your Majesty can infiltrate a general and lead an army of 50,000 people to stay here. If the two places are safe, the Qin army will definitely be invulnerable." Bing Zheng said.

Bing was King Chen's prime minister and military advisor. Although his reputation is not as good as that of Xu Meng and Xu Yeling, he is still a famous person in Jingzhou.

At first! When Dongfang Jie first entered Jingzhou, his ability to sit firmly in Jingzhou was inseparable from Bing Zheng's suggestions. After that, Dongfang Jie was able to capture the Jingzhou navy and seize the entire territory of Jingzhou, which was also planned by Bing Zheng.

In other words, without Bing Zheng's assistance, he, Dongfang Jie, would be nothing in Jingzhou. It is estimated that the power he just held in his hands will be taken away one by one by the big families in Jingzhou.

oh!

Dongfang Jie looked at Bing Zheng and asked, "Can we stop King Qin's cavalry in this way?"

Dongfang Yu is no ordinary person, as can be seen from his crusade against the Xiongnu and the pacification of Huangpao.

He was afraid. If a hundred thousand troops could not stop King Qin, what would he do?

Bing Zheng nodded and continued: "Your Majesty, you must trust your generals and soldiers."

"Okay! Just listen to the Prime Minister."

Dongfang Jie responded, "Pan Zhang is guarding Nanyang County, so I won't send generals. As for the border... let Wang Ge lead an army of 100,000 and station troops on the border. I want to see what the King of Qin is capable of!"

"promise!"

Wang Ge took the order.

Then! Wang Ge led the army on the expedition.

A few days later, Dongfang Yu led the army back to Beiliang.

Back and forth, two months passed.

Since Dongfang Yu captured the two states, the princes from all directions have begun to make moves.

Originally, Dongfang Yu occupied Beiliang and already dominated the state. Now, as the two states merged into the Qin State, all parties could not help but start to panic.

Especially the kings of Qi and Chu, in order to speed up the expansion of their territory, have prepared their troops to attack Yan Dongfangping.

Of course, it is difficult to start a war between Yan and Qi within the next two years.
