Before Du Le founded the Han state, the Ming state had been the most powerful state on the mainland. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, who ruled such a large country, was naturally not a mediocre emperor, and above the court, there was no shortage of loyal and brave retainers and good generals.

It's a pity that because of the information asymmetry and the lack of knowing oneself and the enemy, the Ming Emperor, who had already underestimated the Han State, could not accept the fact that the 300,000 army was defeated, and unilaterally believed that the defeat was due to the incompetence of the generals, so he made this decision to make a personal expedition that he regretted in the future.

Therefore, a month after the defeat of the Ming army, the Ming Emperor led his troops to Chongyun City, the central provincial capital of Chengzhou in the north of Yunzhou.

Between Chongyun City and Yunzhou, there is a checkpoint called Chuanyun Pass. Chuanyun Pass is about 300 kilometers from Chongyun City and about 200 kilometers from Beiyucheng, which was occupied by the Han Kingdom. Today, Chuanyun Pass is still in the hands of the Ming State, and the Ming State has been stationed in the Chuanyun Pass with 100,000 Ming troops to guard the pass.

The first thing the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom did when he arrived in Chongyun City was to immediately investigate the causes and consequences of the rout of the entire army of Zhengnan, which was what he cared about the most. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom couldn't understand why in just a few days, the 300,000-strong army was actually defeated. This is something that has never been encountered since the founding of the Ming Kingdom. Moreover, the Ming State sent the most experienced general to conquer the south, how can there be any reason for defeat?

However, to the surprise of Emperor Ming, when he summoned the general Zhengnan and his generals to the palace to question, these generals did not remove their armor and ask for guilt like the defeated soldiers in the past, but did not feel guilty of defeat. knelt in front of him very calmly and listened to the king's order.

"Our army was defeated because of the Han army, which used demon magic." General Zhengnan defended, it seems that although he was defeated, he was completely worthy of his heart.

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was incredulous, but the general Zhengnan had a firm expression and was convincing, and it didn't seem like he was lying or shirking, which made the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom begin to wonder in his heart.

"Are there really youkai?" The emperor whispered softly, could it be that the Han thief really had divine help?

The Emperor glanced at the generals who were kneeling on the ground. The situation is urgent. Asking these courtiers again will not only fail to benefit the war, but will only shake the morale of the army even more. So he asked his ministers, "In that case." Do you have any ideas for coping with this? ”

General Zhengnan glanced at the vanguard general. The vanguard general gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage to say: "The spider monsters sent by the Han army are invulnerable, and they are invulnerable. The defeat of the ministers is really helpless. Please forgive your majesty for the lack of talent, and the ministers have no good plan. ”

"Hmph." The emperor said with great dissatisfaction: "The imperial court has been raising soldiers for many years, is it possible that there is no half of the available talent in front of the battle?" ”

The ministers below looked at each other, had nothing to say, and had to lower their heads.

"I don't care if any spider monster is real or fake. If you are given another chance, will you be sure to defeat the Han army and destroy the spider monster in your mouth? The Emperor said.

"The sinner thinks that he can use a trebuchet to throw boulders." General Hu Kui knew that his fate was in the hands of the emperor, and when he saw that everyone had nothing to say, he hurriedly offered a plan to save him from being killed and exterminated by the defeated army.

"Trebuchet" the Ming Emperor pondered.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister thinks that it is best for Your Majesty to leave Chongyun City and return to the capital immediately. Weichen suggested that the whole army retreat from Yunzhou to regroup, so that he could fight the Han army again in the future. General Zhengnan said loudly.

After all, the general of Zhengnan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but he is not a person who is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he knows that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me in this battle, and it is not a good strategy for the Ming army to hit the stone with an egg, and it is best for the whole army to withdraw and recuperate first.

The emperor's face was ugly.

The words of the general Zhengnan only showed that he was extremely afraid of the enemy, which made the emperor angry in his heart. However, because the general of Zhengnan was an old hero of the Ming Kingdom and had outstanding military achievements, since he repeatedly persuaded him, the emperor had to listen to him, even if he was against his ears.

It's just that he didn't see with his own eyes what the courtiers said about spider monsters, and the emperor still couldn't believe their words.

"You will first return to the court with the car, and then you will judge the sin." The emperor was too lazy to listen to them anymore.

After General Zhengnan and the others retreated, the emperor grabbed the teacup on the case and threw it to the ground.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards."

In fact, the emperor did not fully believe the remarks of the general of Zhengnanda and others, because the battle situation he had mastered mentioned that the 300,000 army, with about 100,000 soldiers, finally fled back. According to the report of the spies, the Han army captured at least 100,000 Ming troops. This inevitably made the emperor think that the Ming army was not actually defeated by the Han army, but fled back in fright. This is the real reason why the emperor hates generals such as General Zhengnan very much.

According to the news sent back by the Han spies lurking in the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Emperor had arrived in Chongyun City, Yunzhou.

Du Le has been waiting for this day, since the Ming Emperor has already personally gone to battle, as long as their army attacks, then the plan to besiege the Ming army and force the Ming Emperor to sign an alliance under the city will be realized in a few days.

Du Le secretly thought in his heart that the next battle must be thorough, at least to ensure that the Han Kingdom will not be harassed by the Ming army again in the next year or two.

Han needs to recuperate.

Guan Zheng has made great efforts to grasp the military situation, so Du Le is very clear about the situation of the two armies. From the current point of view, the Ming State has gathered more than 200,000 troops in Chongyun City, Chengzhou, and if you add the troops from other places in Chengzhou, the total number of Ming troops is not less than 500,000. In Du Le's hands, the Han army was only about 60,000, and even if the troops were transferred from the Han State, Yunzhou could only gather about 100,000 Han troops at most.

With these 60,000 Han troops attacking the Ming army several times larger, Du Le naturally would not be so naïve. Even if he is not a military genius, Du Le also knows the truth that you should not fight a war that you are not sure of.

Therefore, this time to face the army of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Du Le planned to dispatch a thousand spider machines. I believe that this thousand spider machines can definitely deal with the Ming army.

In this foreign land, Doul has not yet found a cannon. In other words, the Ming army could not help the spider machine.

Du Le began to dispatch troops. This battle. Du Le prepared to personally lead 50,000 Han troops to meet the battle.

The Han army slowly advanced towards Chuanyun Pass. As long as you break through the Chuanyun Pass, you can drive straight into it and hit the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. However, when Du Le led his troops to the border of Chuanyun Pass, the 100,000 defenders of the Ming Kingdom did not dare to open the checkpoint and go out to face the battle.

When Du Le saw this, he felt ridiculous. However, he also understood what the Ming army was afraid of. It seems that the previous battle of the military city had made the Ming army understand that they were not enough to be the enemy of the Han army.

Not wanting to deal too much with the Ming army in the city, Du Le went directly from the space. Take out five armed spider machines. This spider machine appeared out of thin air. It immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the Han army. Du Le was satisfied to see that the faces of all the soldiers of the Han army were full of expressions of reverence and worship for themselves. In their hearts, Du Le's hand took things out of thin air. It's another fairy trick.

In fact. Although after the establishment of the Han state. has rarely shown his spatial ability in front of people, so many Han people. Although he knew that the lord of his country was an immortal, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, these huge objects in front of them can naturally make the soldiers of the Han army more loyal to Du Le.

Du Le controls the spider machine and advances towards Chuanyun Pass.

The Ming army stationed above the city pass apparently also discovered the spider machine. When the rumored behemoth appeared in front of you, the shock was beyond imagination. For a time, the 100,000 Ming troops panicked.

Du Le looked at the Ming army on the top of the level, faintly chaotic, and felt a little disdainful in his heart. In his eyes, exotic people are actually a group of ancients. If you don't want a stable country and establish a stable rear for your own development, but want to occupy and rule the Ming Kingdom, you can just throw a few spider machines and complete the beheading of the Ming Emperor without saying anything.

It's just that Du Le doesn't have the idea of destroying the Ming Kingdom yet, so it's okay to play with them for the time being.

The five spider machines naturally caused great trouble to the soldiers guarding the city in Chuanyun Pass. But contrary to Du Le's expectations, Ming Guo was not without a response to the movement, and was ready to be captured.

Da, Da Dule heard several loud noises in a row in the level.

Several large rocks, instantly emerging from the gate, flew quickly towards Doile's spider machine!

Du Le was shocked, trebuchet!

In a trance, three of the spider machines were unfortunately hit by boulders.

Boom, the boulder smashed against the steel with a loud noise.

Du Le fixed his eyes and saw that one of the three spider machines that had been hit was hit in the control center of the head, and he immediately lost control. The other two spider machines have a concave.

Seeing that one of the spider monsters couldn't move, the Ming army on the wall of Chuanyun Pass heard a burst of cheers.

Du Le didn't expect that the Ming army would have such a move, and he immediately restrained his contempt for the Ming army. Looking at the spider machine that was hit on the head by a boulder and did not react at all, Du Le was very angry.

In order to prevent the Ming army from discovering that the trebuchet was working, and immediately preemptively attacked, Du Le immediately controlled the remaining four spider machines to speed up and rush towards Chuanyun Pass.

Sure enough, the next round of stone-throwing in the Ming Kingdom immediately appeared again. However, because Douler consciously increased the speed of the spider machine, all the boulders thrown by the trebuchet missed, and smashed into the back of the spider machine.

As soon as the four armed spider machines arrived at the city, the machine guns immediately opened fire on the Ming army above the checkpoint. One of the spider machines kept strafing and attacking the city gates, while the other three spider machines, relying on their tentacles, climbed the Chuanyun Pass Tower.

As soon as these three spider machines climbed the tower, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Ming defenders.

How dare you break the myth of the invincibility of spider machines?! Du Le looked at the Ming army that was violently attacked, and still felt incomprehensible, so he took out ten armed spider machines from the space again and controlled them to rush towards the level.

You have to know that this spider machine is not cheap! Du Le decided to teach the Ming army a profound lesson about the cost of destroying the spider machine.

Fourteen spider machines, for a while, wantonly slaughtered in Chuanyun Pass, and no one could resist their close-range fighting. Half an hour after the city gate was broken, Du Le let Wei go sick and led the Han army into the checkpoint. After entering the customs, the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty deeply felt the fierceness of the battle, and they could not see a single Ming soldier standing at all.

After the Chuanyun Pass was breached, Du Le left 5,000 Han troops to defend the checkpoint, and then led the rest of the Han army to continue to attack Chongyun City in the north. The iron should be struck while it is hot, and Du Le does not want to give the Ming Emperor a chance to escape after receiving the news. So. Du Le had to seize the opportunity to capture the Ming Emperor alive as soon as possible.

The Han army drove straight in, and there were almost no Ming troops to resist it. It was not until the Han army approached the city that the Ming emperor found that there was nowhere to escape. Only then did the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom really understand the words of the generals such as the general Zhengnan, and only then did he truly understand that after the first battle of the military city, the Ming army panicked the Han army. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom sadly discovered that the more than 100,000 Ming troops in Chongyun City had been surrounded by 50,000 Han troops.

There are really monsters in the Han army! At this time, around the four gates of Chongyun City. There are at least a hundred or more youkai. Soldiers of the Ming Army. No one dared to go out of the city to face the battle.

There is another point that makes the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom feel very helpless. He had just received the report that the level had fallen, and the trebuchet could deal damage to the Han army youkai, and he had also successfully killed a spider youkai. The next second. The Han army had already surrounded Chongyun City.

A trebuchet in Chongyun City. There are only more than 30 of them, and even fewer boulders, only more than 100 pieces. Compared to the spider monsters that are at least four or five hundred outside, they have already lost a lot in terms of numbers. Moreover, at this moment, the Ming army is trapped in Chongyun City, and there is no possibility of even obtaining a boulder, even if they want to use trebuchets to fight, they have no ability to fight. Du Le did not immediately send negotiators, but decided to let the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom first deeply appreciate the power of the spider machine. He first sent two armed spider machines to Chongyun City to kill them indiscriminately to deter the Ming Emperor, and then ordered two armed spider machines to climb the city wall and rush into Chongyun City. Destroy Chongyun City without any scruples. Not only that, Du Le also controlled the spider machine, rushed to the emperor's palace, and directly forced the emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

There was no good way to deal with the war, so the emperor of the Ming Kingdom could only walk back and forth in the palace in the city in a panic, but suddenly heard the exclamation of the guards. When I looked closely, it turned out to be the monster of the Han Kingdom who came to the palace!

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had no time to panic, and the close guards hurriedly took the panicked Emperor Ming to escape from the spider machine as soon as possible. However, the two spider machines kept following him, chasing after him. The emperor of the Ming State had no choice but to order the soldiers of the Ming army to sacrifice their lives and forget about their deaths and block the spider machine with their lives.

For the first time, the Ming Emperor faced death. Escaping a few times also made him deeply understand the strength of the spider machine, and it is indeed as the vanguard general said, these monsters are invulnerable and invulnerable. Not only that, but a group of so-called strange people in Chongyun City are completely useless.

Du Le only let the two armed spider machines in Chongyun City for an hour, which had already caused great psychological pressure on the Ming Emperor. Du Le saw that the situation was about the same, so he ordered the spider machine to withdraw, and before leaving, Du Le asked them to completely destroy one of the gates of Chongyun City.

Chongyun City suffered the destruction that almost destroyed the city, and the Ming army could only watch everything happen.

Then, Du Le asked people to shout outside the city, asking the Ming army to send heavyweight representatives to negotiate, otherwise, they would continue to send spider machines to completely destroy the Ming army.

When the soldiers of the Ming army who were in shock heard this, they looked at each other, if they could live, no one wanted to die, and no one wanted to rush this troubled water. Therefore, all the generals just bowed their heads in the palace hall, and no one dared to stand up and negotiate with the emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was also frightened. At this time, he was no longer ambitious, and he no longer had the intention of despising the Han army. His mind was full of images of giant spider monsters wreaking havoc. He was still terrified.

The Ming Emperor didn't want to die, so he reacted very quickly and sent ministers to listen to Han's request.

Du Le was also polite to the envoy, but he just informed him of his conditions and asked him to return to the Ming Emperor. Du Le wanted the Ming Emperor to admit that Yunzhou would be a Yunzhou belonging to the Han State, and the Ming State must guarantee that it would not take the initiative to provoke the Han State again. If the Ming can accept peaceful coexistence, the Han can also guarantee that it will not take the initiative to attack the Ming state.

In addition, the merchants of the Han State were free to do business in the Ming Kingdom, and their lives and property were protected by the Ming court, and the merchants of the Ming Kingdom could also do business in the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom also guaranteed their safety.

If there is any contradiction between the two countries, they can hold a meeting in Yunzhou once a year to discuss and resolve the contradiction.

Du Le's conditions can be said to be very generous for the Ming Emperor. Except for the cession of Yunzhou, there was almost nothing that embarrassed the Ming Emperor. Therefore, the emperor of the Ming State agreed to the condition that he could give up a mere state in exchange for tranquility, and immediately signed an alliance with Du Le and sealed it.

As for the captives of the two countries, the Han State did not mention it, and the Ming State did not take the initiative to mention it, and they automatically forgot about it. Seeing this, Du Le had no intention of handing over his labor.

After receiving the covenant, Du Le did not evacuate immediately. In order to avoid any possibility of reversal by the Ming State, he asked the Emperor of the Ming State to immediately issue an edict to the whole Ming State and announce the content of the covenant. At the same time, the Han Kingdom will also announce the content of the covenant in Yunzhou. It was not until all this was completed that Du Le led his army to evacuate Chuanyun Pass.

Before leaving, in order to ensure the safety of Yunzhou, Du Le used construction machines to rebuild and increase the height of the city wall in Chuanyun Pass. Because the Han army did not have as abundant troops as the Ming army, Du Le could only arrange for 50,000 Han troops to be stationed in Yunzhou at most.

In order to ensure the rule of the Han Kingdom in Yunzhou, Du Le also built a basement in the Chuanyun Pass to store two armed spider machines. This measure was to prevent the Ming army from repenting and raiding after recuperating in the future.

At this point, the entire Yunzhou fell into the hands of the Han State.

Yunzhou became the territory of the Han Kingdom, and Du Le could transform Yunzhou according to his own ideas.

In the past, because Yunzhou was located in a remote area, many places were not suitable for farming, and the mountainous areas were sparsely populated, and the Ming Kingdom did not attach importance to it, so the development of local productive forces was extremely slow.

In order to realize the potential of Yunzhou, Du Le decided to carry out land reform in Yunzhou and promote the farm system. (To be continued......)
