The governor of the Western Regions, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Great Stone Empire, Basel, gathered an army of 80,000 troops, and under the premise of having the city in the city, he was ready to launch the final battle.

The development of things is very smooth, with the help of Neiying, all the defenders of the north city wall are evacuated, the army of the Dashi Empire climbs the city wall, and finally enters the city, Basel excitedly looks up to the sky and laughs, in his opinion, the war is finally over, with this victory, after returning home, it will be so beautiful.

But it was precisely with the invasion of 50,000 Dashi troops into the city that the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

Ansu and Bilan, a total of 30,000 troops, under the leadership of Anshu Prince Zhan Bai, counterattacked, raided the Chinese army camp in Basel, caught off guard, held on for less than an hour, and finally suffered a heavy defeat, 30,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, under the desperate resistance of the governor of Xizhou, Hammererzi, finally led less than 5,000 remnants of the defeated general, escorted Basel, who was unconscious due to the arrow, and fled towards Xizhou.

The 50,000 troops in the city were besieged in the city with this sudden rebellion, and with the fire of the entire Broken Leaf City, the whole army was wiped out, and the entire Xiyue Kingdom was wiped out.

The great changes in the Western Regions shook the entire Dashi Empire.

Originally, a plan had been made to concentrate all military forces, taking advantage of the destruction of the once strong enemy, the Lunar Eclipse Country, and now the vast territory that has become fragmented, to expand the territory, but it has also had to be changed with the drastic changes in the Western Regions.

In the ninth year of Chengping, March 28.

The Emperor of the Dashi Empire conveyed the military mobilization, gathered 200,000 elite troops, and took the imperial crown prince Mehdi as the commander of the three armies to suppress the rebellion in the Western Regions.

The great changes in the Western Regions have aroused great concern from all sides.

Wuzhou Governor's Office.

In the room, Fan Zhong frowned, his eyes looked at the door from time to time, his face was full of worry, Fan Zhong always looked like he was successful, and he rarely had this kind of negativity on his face.

The news of the great changes in the Western Regions soon reached Wuzhou, and Fan Zhong immediately wrote a detailed report and sent it back to the Central Plains in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles.

The land of the Western Regions, the wind is surging, but for Wuzhou, the impact is not great, the connection between the Great Jin and the Western Regions has been broken for more than a hundred years, and the two sides do not have any grievances, and now, the countries of the Western Regions have officially opened the banner of rebellion against the Dashi Empire, and their next move is either to actively prepare for war, to defend against the upcoming strong counterattack of the Dashi Empire, or to take the initiative, but no matter what, their target will only be the West, not Longyou, but with an unexpected thing, everything has changed.

After Hammer Ozi fled back to Xizhou, together with the 5,000 soldiers left behind, he had another 10,000 army in his hands, and just when he was stabilizing the morale of the army and strengthening the defense of the city, Zhan Bai, the prince of Anshu, led an army of 30,000 and immediately killed.

Zhan Bai is the fourth son of King Dieriga of Ansu, the countries of the Western Regions have been ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty for many years, and are deeply influenced by Han culture, so their succession system is also to pay attention to the establishment of succession, although Zhan Bai is not the eldest son, but his mother is the queen of Anshu, the blood is noble, and the heirs of Zhan Bai are naturally much higher than other princes.

Jamber is now twenty-seven years old, and his reputation is far and wide throughout the Western Regions, even more so than that of his father, the mediocre King Dieriga.

Zhan Bai since childhood, when he was 12 years old, compared with other countries, he did everything possible to send the unimportant prince to Dashi as a hostage, Zhan Bai was extraordinary, and tried his best to persuade his father Dieriga to go to Marmaha, the capital of the Dashi Empire, to worship the local university scholars as teachers, because his teacher was quite proficient in Han culture, ten years later, Zhan Bai not only learned the prosperous Dashi culture, but also the esoteric Han culture, is also quite understanding, Dashi language and Chinese language, are very proficient.

Basel and others had just experienced a fiasco, it was when they were in shock, and before they had completely settled down, Jamber led the army to kill, and after a battle, Hammererzi was defeated again, and finally had to follow the advice of his henchman Moy, carrying Basel and a few dozen cronies, mixed among the refugees, and fled to Wuzhou.

Fan Zhong firmly believes that Zhan Bai's current main enemy is the Dashi Empire, not them, and if he offends the Great Jin at the same time, the two sides will face the enemy, such an unwise behavior will not be done by an idiot.

But Fan Zhong did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that Hammererzi, Basel and others would be mixed with the refugees and fled to Wuzhou, and Hammererqi was the first time, in the name of the envoy of the Dashi Empire, rushed to Fengjing, met Zhao Zhi, and asked for help on the grounds of the alliance between the two countries.

Subsequently, after learning of the whereabouts of Hammerezi and others, Zhan Bai also sent an envoy to Wuzhou for the first time, and the stern words were extremely strong, demanding that Fan Zhong immediately hand over the people, and Chen Bing on the other side of the Mulang River to carry out armed intimidation.

Fan Zhong is now a headache, Dashi and Dajin do have an alliance, with the two years, the trade between the two countries has been fully liberalized, and the relationship between countries is also heating up rapidly, and Hammererzi is extremely cunning, after settling in Basel, he immediately shook and became the messenger of the Dashi Empire, with a few cronies and guards, rushed directly to Fengjing, and did not give Fan Zhong any chance at all.

"Brother, why are you in a daze?"

Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei walked in, and when they saw Fan Zhongzheng sitting there in a daze, they couldn't help but wake him up.

Fan Zhong came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Your military deployment has been completed?" ”

Shan Qiu nodded: "It has been completed, the materials and manpower of the city division have all been emptied, Li Cunxiao and Yuanhe's army has arrived in Wuzhou, a total of 16,000 soldiers have been gathered, in addition to 6,000 soldiers guarding Wu'an City, the remaining 10,000 soldiers are led by me personally, of which 2,000 are stationed in Liangshuikou, together with Zhao Zhang's 1,000 soldiers, a total of 3,000 people, with Liangshuikou as a fortress, as a military frontier stronghold, Li Cunxiao led 3,000 troops, and I led 5,000 troops, 20 miles apart, echoing each other from afar, establishing a fortress to prevent Zhan Bai from leading the army to cross the Mulang River. ”

With Zhan Bai's army pressing the border, the nerves of the entire Wuzhou also began to be nervous, although Fan Zhong felt that Zhan Bai was just pretending, but anything has a case, Fan Zhong did not dare to be careless, while actively mobilizing the military forces of the entire Longyou three states, gathering in Wuzhou, while sending people to negotiate with Zhan Bai on the other side of the river, delaying time, Basel's fiasco in the Western Regions, the Dashi Empire will never sit idly by, I am afraid that it is already gathering troops to prepare for a larger war, once the Dashi Empire sends troops, There's no way Jamber is here to spend time with himself.

Fan Zhong nodded and agreed with the military arrangement of Shan Qiu.

Fan has an advanced strategic vision that ordinary people do not have, but Wenzhi is his strength, specific and meticulous military deployment, the ability of this side, can only be regarded as average, with Zhan Bai's aggressiveness, Fan Zhong followed Li Xun's employment characteristics, the more critical moments, the more dare to use people, dare to delegate power, and give military rights to Sima Zhen and Shan Qiu.

"Sima Zhen, he can come back."

Fan Zhong didn't see Sima Zhen, so he asked out loud.
