Chapter 123: It's Not That Easy
However, it is not like to say that Ji Yan controlled the courtiers of Zhou State, because Zhang Yi felt that Ji Yan did nothing to himself.
"Could it be that this is what makes Heavenly Court special?"
"The Lord of Heavenly Court can control all of Heavenly Court like a god's mansion?"
Zhang Yi can only be attributed to the particularity of "Heavenly Court", but it also makes Ji Yan more mysterious and majestic in Zhang Yi's heart!
Of course, Zhang Yi doesn't have any second thoughts anyway, so it doesn't matter.
The next few months......
Ji Yan and the trapping camp have been sitting in Dongyang County.
The 30 million regular army led by him spread to all parts of Dongyang County as the center, leading local civilians to reclaim fields and build roads.
The three major town armies and the ancient barbarian royal family are all attacking the southern strongholds, and they will only be looked at if they are strongholds of the scale of big cities and above.
As for the strongholds of the size of the big city and below, they were persuaded or attacked by the ancient barbarian royal family, the southern barbarian tribes, and the southern forces.
When the Zhou State focused on the south, the north was full of turmoil, and the five major forces were frantically devouring and expanding......
Big Tuesday April ......
With the examples of previous dynasties, the surrender of the Zhou army to the south was quite smooth, coupled with the tactics of "conquering the big and letting go of the small, and pressing the small with the big", in just half a year, most of the southern region fell into the hands of the Zhou State.
The eastern frontier extends to the sea, which is the East China Sea......
The western border to the edge of the Funeral God Mountains......
north to the Tianjiang River Basin......
It can be said that today's Zhou State is a real country, with a vast territory and thousands of miles.
Maybe there are many small countries in the mountains, but people outside the mountains don't know about them!
The strange thing is that the strange beasts inside the Burial God Mountain Range can often be seen standing up to the sky or covering the sun......
But he has never been out of the mountain, and it seems to be confined to the mountain, and only heaven-level and below beasts can go out of the mountain, but it is also quite rare.
All in all, the Zhou State now only needs to concentrate on guarding against the enemy forces in the northwest and north, reducing most of the defense line, which is one of the main reasons why Ji Yan supports the southern expedition.
Of course, the southern territory now only nominally belongs to the Zhou State, and the Southern Barbarian tribes and the southern Terran forces that submit to the Zhou State only occupy various cities or regions with unusually flat terrain......
There are still most of the areas that are not under the control of the Zhou State, and there are many alien beast populations, even the southern barbarian tribes and the southern forces do not want to and dare not attack!
The land of poor mountains and bad waters is still the world of strange beasts after all......
This is also one of the main reasons why most of the human race despises the barbarians who are accompanied by beasts, and even some people equate barbarians with foreign beasts.
For half a year, Ji Yan has been staying in Dongyang County, and he can't even walk around......
Nominally, it is in retreat, but most of the time it is in retreat.
Of course, even if Ji Yan waving his master back to the court, he will still go back to retreat, and there is no difference.
In the past six months, the south has been in constant flames, and the north is also in flames......
Lei Ming, the king of Northern Yan, officially surrendered to the Yanyun lands and claimed the king's side, but he shrewdly did not go south and did not attack the lands of Xia and Jin.
Zhang Yi of the Xia State has officially bordered the territory of the Northern Yan and Jin Kingdoms, and the wars are not small but continuous.
The situation of the Jin Kingdom is the same as that of the Xia Kingdom, with Linna in the west and Xia in the north, and the territory is saturated, and the only unowned buffer zone is the counties between the Zhou Kingdom.
Han Wang Linna's situation is better, there are big merchants in the west, and there are Jin kingdoms in the east, but there are no strong forces blocking the north and south, and he is bent on fighting in the south and the north, and the north has reached Taiyuan County, and the south has reached Nanyang County, and it is only a few counties away from the territory of Zhou State.
The Great Shang Yun Dynasty completely stabilized the situation, consolidated Bashu, Guanzhong, Northwest and other places, and forced Lin Jingyu, the king of Liangwang in the northwest, to the desolate desert area in the northwest.
Big Tuesday April ......
The world is officially divided into six kingdoms, namely Shang, Zhou, Han, Yan, Xia, and Jin, and the other forces either shrink into corners, or surrender or perish.
On this day, Dongyang County ......
"Enlighten my king!"
"Emperor Huangtian officially announced the world, Zen is located in Han Wang Linna, and invites our country to watch the ceremony!"
Ji Yan was in retreat, and the shrill and soft voice of Gonggong Liu faintly entered the secret room.
"So fast?"
"Lynna finally can't wait?"
As soon as Gonggong Liu's words fell, Ji Yan appeared like a teleporter and muttered with a sly smile.
Lin Na played the trick of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", everyone generally understands.
It's a pity that the so-called Emperor Huangtian is just a fig leaf for Lin Na to cover his ears and steal the bell, and so far, no one has bought it......
Lynna finally couldn't pretend anymore, and it was useless in the name of his assistant, so it was better to be officially independent.
What's so good about this kind of trick?
Ji Yan was too lazy to waste time on a run.
"Enlighten my king!"
"Gu Yunyou, the king of Jin, personally led a large army to capture Langya County and invade Donghai County......"
"Lin La, the second son of Linna, led the army to Huai'an County, Ruyin County and other places to approach our country!"
Gonggong Liu didn't comment much, but reported in a cautious tone.
After a pause, he continued:
In addition, the Northern Yan King and the Xia Kingdom also gathered heavy troops on the southern border, but Lin Na and the Jin Kingdom did not have much military reaction. ”
"According to the analysis of Ce Tianfu, the four major anti-kings are likely to join forces to invade our country's territory again, please make a decision on my king!"
"Joining forces to go south?"
"Figure what?"
Ji Yan did not rule out this possibility in his heart, but he frowned and pondered.
It is understandable that Lin Na and the Jin Kingdom marched south, after all, they did not march south, and there was no place to expand their territory!
However, what kind of excitement did Beiyan and Xia Guo make?
What good did attacking the state of Zhou do for them?
Is it Mu Xiu Yu Lin?
Or is it a curse?
As expected, the troops sent by the Northern Yan and Xia Kingdoms were definitely exchanged for territory by Lin Na and the Jin Kingdom......
For example, if they conquered the territory of the Zhou State, they ceded as much territory as they coeded to compensate the Northern Yan and Xia Kingdoms.
Zhou Guo has been low-key for a long time, but it is still a five-country ......
At least the four most feared forces against the king.
Instead of the four major anti-king infighting, it is better to conquer the Zhou State in the south, as long as the Zhou State collapses, they can fight with confidence......
Otherwise, if the "Four Hardcore Alliances" are broken, why bother to marry all the daughters of Zhou in the end?
"It's not right...... either"
"It shouldn't be that easy!"
"Even if they capture Jizhou County, what is the point of the south completely falling into the hands of a lone now?"
"Is it just to force the lonely capital?"
Thinking of this, Ji Yan shook his head and thought suspiciously.
Ji Yan knew very well that he and Zhou Guo were the most feared existence of the four anti-kings, and it was estimated that the Great Shang Dynasty was also like this.
In the first heavenly court throughout the ages, this name alone is enough to make people sleepless, not counting the power of King Zhou and the military strength of Zhou State!
However, after all, there is no formal conflict, and there will be no conflict anytime soon.
Lin Na and the Jin State can understand that the Southern Expedition of the Northern Yan and Xia States is not necessary, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.
"The four anti-kings are not mediocre, if they are not sure, they will not march south......"
Ji Yan didn't underestimate the four anti-kings, but he couldn't guess their thoughts, so he could only decisively order:
"Order the Marquis of Zhennan and the Marquis of Jingnan to return to the dynasty immediately, and all the elite soldiers and guards will return to the capital with Gu!"
If you can't guess, you don't need to guess .......
The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, just go all out!
Big Tuesday at the end of April......
