Central Plains Wind and Cloud Chapter Seventy-Eight Great Martial Peace
After Li Mang took Wuning City, he didn't move again, lingering with the women in the beautiful scenery around Wuning City all day long, of course, he didn't forget to pay attention to the situation in various parts of Shenzhou.
The 500,000 army of Anli City in Xingzhou was besieged by the king of the north and could not enter or exit, Liu Lang led the army to take most of the city in Xingzhou again, and Liu Jing also sent many officials to gradually accept it.
After the great victory on the border between the two southwestern countries, there was no stop at all, and it was gradually pushed forward, and several cities were successively taken in a few days, and it was only a matter of time before Binzhou fell.
After more than ten days of marching, the Wuzhou army finally crossed Binzhou and returned to Wuzhou, where it was stationed around the imperial city at this time and did not dare to move lightly.
The Dawu Dynasty is embattled, and the land of the two states has fallen, and the situation is precarious, and there is a disaster of destroying the country at any time.
On this day, Liu Jing was in a good mood, and was discussing with several ministers in the imperial study about the method of governing the southern border, when he saw an internal official quietly come in and say something in Liu Jing's ear.
I saw Liu Jing laugh when he heard this, and then he spoke to all the ministers present: "Dawu... sum".
Zhang Cang glanced at each other, and they all saw joy in each other's expressions, and then several people got up and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
"Well, Prime Minister, how do you say I should reply?" Liu Jinglong looked at Zhang Cang and asked after being happy with everyone.
"Your Majesty, is it okay to ignore it?" Zhang Cang replied after pondering for a while.
"Are you saying that the envoy has never come?" asked Liu Jing suspiciously.
"Exactly, Your Majesty, you think, he is a great martial artist to seek peace, one does not say the conditions, the other is not a heavy courtesy, and he still has the arrogance of a great country, so what's the matter if we wait, it is always him who is in a hurry," Zhang Cang analyzed.
"Yes, it's possible, but what if he really brings a heavy gift later, and really comes with conditions that I can't refuse?" Liu Jing asked.
"Your Majesty, Dawu is at your fingertips now, why do you want to negotiate terms with him? Wouldn't it be better for us to take Dawu ourselves? It's just that for now, we have to wait for the situation in Xingzhou to be more stable, and when King Xian enters Wuzhou with a large army, he will give Dawu another million troops, how can he be able to defeat King Xian?" Zhang Cang's aged face could almost smile a flower at this time, he seemed to have seen the moment of the fall of Dawu and the rise of Daxing.
"Okay, let's do it, the envoy will detain him first, don't kill or let go, under house arrest, and wait for the one to come, it's a strategy at the moment, drag... The longer it drags on, the better it will be for King Xian, and the better it will be for us" Liu Jing's eyes were shining, he got up and slapped the table and said loudly, at this time he was already radiant.
On the side of the Dawu Dynasty, after sending envoys, they waited for half a month without a reply, so they hurriedly sent a second wave of envoys, carrying heavy gifts and a letter from Emperor Dawu to the north.
Li Mang and Beiwang also received a message from Liu Jing almost at the same time, ordering them to take Xingzhou as soon as possible, join forces, and go straight to Huanglong.
Li Mang is far away in Wuzhou, so he naturally has more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he can only wait for the opportunity. After the king of the north learned the news, he ordered Liu Ming to give up the garrison in the prison city, and rushed to join Liu Lang, the two joined forces together, and the army was 500,000, which once again accelerated the speed of the expedition, and at the same time, the king of the north also sent envoys to inform the defenders of the outside world and wanted to persuade them to surrender.
If you want to take Dawu, you must first take down the 500,000 troops in this Anli City, otherwise this place has always involved most of the troops, and it is difficult to attack Wuzhou in a short time.
The strong attack failed, the king of the north could only think of the trick of persuasion, but the effect was really good, the army in the city had already known the news of the outside world at this time, and the people were panicked for a while, and they were not as determined as before.
More than ten days later, the military envoys entered the city and officially met with him, but Liu Jing had no choice but to announce the court.
"The military envoy visited His Majesty the Emperor Daxing" The envoy bowed and groveled, and he had long lost the atmosphere of a great country in the past.
"Well, let's be even, I don't know what your emperor sent you for?" Liu Jing asked knowingly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Daxing, my great land has never bordered Daxing, and the two countries have always been friendly as brothers, I don't know what makes your country force my Dawu to such a situation? The envoy came up and threw out countless conditions, all of which were touching.
The hundred officials were also in an uproar, and they were able to force the most powerful Dawu Dynasty in Shenzhou to bow down to their own Daxing Dynasty, and they also cut land, pay compensation, and even make peace, which shows that the balance of the war on the front line has been tilted to the side of Daxing.
For a while, there were many dissatisfaction with Li Mang's formation of troops and leading troops, and even the officials who were hostile to Li Mang before were convinced.
"Well, I saw Dawu's sincerity, I will consider it carefully, the envoy has a tired journey, why don't you go and rest first" Liu Jing didn't show how happy he was, and then said politely.
Just when the envoy looked anxious and wanted to say something, Liu Jing spoke again: "The Ministry of Rites must settle the envoy well, and you can't lose my face, otherwise I want you to look good."
"The ministers obey the order" The officials of the Ministry of Rites bowed in response, and then came to the envoy and asked: "This lord, I have worked hard all the way, so let's leave with the officials to rest for a while."
After the envoy left, Liu Jingcai suddenly burst out laughing, and the hundred officials were also rare and presumptuous, looking up to the sky and laughing in the court.
After a long time, Liu Jing spoke: "Everyone, how is it? I didn't misread that sharp mang, right?"
Many officials blushed and nodded incessantly.
Liu Jing was even happier when he saw so many officials deflated, and after laughing again, he said, "Let's talk about it, how should this virtuous king be rewarded?"
Liu Jing brought up the old matter again, and this time the hundred officials did not object again, but thought about it seriously.
Prime Minister Zhang Cang came out and said: "Your Majesty, although King Xian is a king, he is just a name, why don't you really crown him as a king, a fief... Your Majesty is up to you."
"Wow..."
The hundred officials were in an uproar for a while, and there were many discussions, Daxing had a prince with a different surname before, but decades ago, he was killed by the previous emperor. The reason is that the prince has exclusive tax on a land and has full responsibility for handling the affairs of a place, so many countries within a country have been formed, which is really contrary to the concentration of imperial power. The first emperor finally had the heart of a strong man to break his wrist, provoked a civil war, and ended the era of the division of the princes of Daxing.
Liu Jing's face changed, and then after pondering for a long time, he sighed and said, "Actually, I have also considered this matter, but... Let's talk about it."
This time, Liu Jing took the initiative to interrupt the topic, thinking that it was really difficult to do it. Not long after, after the early court deliberations were completed, Liu Jing rarely turned around and left without saying a word, thinking that he was not in a very good mood.
......
After more than ten days of hard work, the brothers Liu Ming and Liu Lang finally took down the entire Xingzhou, except for An Licheng, of course. At this time, they were stationed in the Lotus City, which bordered Xingzhou and Wuzhou, waiting for Li Mang's next instructions.
And Li Mang finally set off in a good way, not attacking the city, nor harassing the civilians, but going straight to the imperial city of Dawu, and at the same time sending people to order Liu Ming and Liu Lang, two brothers, to lead the troops straight into Wuzhou and gather in front of the imperial city.
The king of the north naturally also got the news, and while hating the stubborn people in the city, it was a pity that he could not capture the Great Martial Imperial City with his own hands, so he could only send people to the city every day to scold and persuade him to surrender, disintegrating the fighting spirit of the enemy army.
The territory of Wuzhou is peculiar, long and narrow from north to south, slightly narrow from east to west, and in half a month, Li Mang almost crossed the entire Wuzhou, and finally came to one of the acropolises not far from the Dawu Imperial City, in front of the south city.
At this time, the two brothers Liu Ming and Liu Lang had already arrived, and even Nancheng had already taken possession, just waiting for Li Mang.
I haven't seen each other for some days, Liu Ming and Liu Lang seem to have matured a lot, although they were both generals who led troops alone, but they haven't learned much from Li Mang in the past few months.
During this time, Li Mang was not there, and he was responsible for the siege of the city and the land, and the two brothers put into practice what Li Mang had learned.
