The destruction of Liaoyuan City was of great significance to Great Xia, which indicated that the second step of the three-step process of destroying the Qi State was completed.

If the east and west of the imperial capital of Qi are taken as the axis and divided into north and south, the breakthrough of Liaoyuan City represents that the fourteen southern states of Qi can no longer hide and frankly fall under the iron cavalry of Great Xia.

Next, all you need to do is wave your troops north, and you can kill Kyoto with one horse.

Champion Hou immediately hurried up and sent the victory back to Kyoto.

At the same time, the bad news that Liaoyuan City was breached back to the Qi Palace, and the Qi Emperor was deliberating, and when he suddenly heard the news, he was in a hurry and suddenly fainted.

This frightened the ministers of the palace, and they hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and finally woke up.

Qi Huang, who woke up, slapped the table and shouted, "Damn, damn!" A group of waste, an army of 300,000 can't hold a city, relying on corpses to pile up, and it can also be piled up into a mountain to block the soldiers and horses of Great Xia. What about the night leaves? Did he take refuge in Xia Jun? ”

Zuo Xiang Hai Yuntian explained: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is not Prince He's fault, but Wei Nanzheng's brother is not good for guarding the granary, which caused the Great Xia spies hidden in Liaoyuan City to sneak into the granary and set fire to the grain at night. While the soldiers in the city were busy extinguishing the fire, the soldiers and horses of Daxia attacked from the four city gates at the same time, and the other side first attacked with fire, burning the bunkers laid out in advance, and then at dawn in the early morning, they began to attack the city......"

Hai Yuntian will tell the details.

"What about Wei Nantu?" Emperor Qi looked at Wei Nanzheng coldly.

Wei Nanzheng knelt on the ground and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, my brother knows that it is not good to guard the grain, so it is convenient for Liaoyuan City to live and die together, and he has died in battle!" ”

The bullshit died in battle, but in fact, when he fled in panic, he was shot by Yoyuki with an arrow.

Everyone was dead, and Emperor Qi had no chance to be angry if he wanted to, and then asked, "What about the casualties?" What about Prince He, Ye Qingchuan Mountain? ”

Yun Haitian said: "Back to Your Majesty, only 130,000 sons have escaped back, and Prince He's life and death are unknown!" ”

At this time, Wei Nanzheng on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grain cellar in Liaoyuan City caught fire, it was Ye Qingshan who suggested that all the grain be gathered together, but who knew that it would be set on fire by the Great Xia spies in a few days, which is too much of a coincidence!" If there is no cooperation between the inside and the outside, how can it be possible to get close to the granary! ”

When Emperor Qi heard this, he thought about it carefully.

"Since Ye Qingshan is not afraid of life and death, then protect his children well, do you hear? Wei Aiqing! Emperor Qi gritted his teeth and said.

Wei Nanzheng was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Weichen understands! ”

Emperor Qi took a deep breath and said sadly: "Now that Liaoyuan City is broken, there is no danger from Liaoyuan City to the Imperial Capital, and the road is unimpeded, how can you resist the soldiers and horses of Great Xia?" Is the Great Qi of Heaven going to die? ”

The ministers in the palace were silent.

At this moment, it seemed that the house leak was raining overnight, and the internal official suddenly hurried into the palace, because he was panicked, he almost tripped and said, "Your Majesty, the north has sent an urgent express!" ”

"Read!" Emperor Qi roared.

The internal official trembled, and read: "My emperor is above, the Yuan army of 200,000 iron cavalry has attacked the south, and has broken through the defense line, and the prancing horse is going south..."

Boom...

Emperor Qi was confused for a while, and his body tilted and dizzy.

The state of Qi left 100,000 troops in the north, relying on dangerous areas and rivers to set up checkpoints to prevent the Yuan army from moving south. Who knew that now, the checkpoint was not blocked, and the Yuan army was also killed.

It's no wonder that Emperor Qi is not dizzy.

.......

At the same time, it was already a few days before the news reached Ottritsu Kyoto.

After taking Liaoyuan City, the next step is the imperial capital of Qi.

However, there was also the movement of the Yuan army from the front and rear feet. The 200,000 yuan army iron cavalry broke through the fortifications of the Qi State, and the Prancing Horse went south, at the same time, more Yuan troops began to occupy the north of the Qi State, and it seems that the Khan of the Yuan State also knew that the Qi State would be destroyed, and this time it was not just a robbery, but also prepared to occupy the land, and the land could not be given to Daxia in vain.

Even according to Xiao Rui's calculations, in the future, the border between Great Xia and the Yuan Kingdom will be two or three hundred miles away from the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom, because there is a mountain range running east-west, and there is a river to block it. This time, the Qi State set up a card, and it was there to fortify, but unfortunately it did not stop the Yuan army.

In the future, when the Qi State is destroyed, the Great Xia soldiers and horses will continue to move north, and they will push the sideline there. After all, the borders between countries are basically bounded by mountains and rivers.

At that time, Great Xia occupied the fourteen states of Qi, and the Yuan State occupied ten states, completely dividing the Qi state.

By that time, the fourteen states of Anxi, plus the fourteen states of Qi, and the twenty-eight states of Great Xia had expanded its territory, and the land area of the entire Great Xia had more than doubled.

And it is not an easy task to govern such a huge territory, first of all, if the country of Qi is still plagued by disasters this year, how to deal with so many refugees? Regardless of it, or open a position for relief?

There is no food in the country of Qi, but there is still food in the country of Qi.

Why do you say that, there is no grain in the Qi country, that is, there is indeed no grain in the treasury, but the rich and noble families have food, and the collection of grain in Liaoyuan City is a clear example, and the big families do not know how much grain and silver they have hidden.

So what to do, Xiao Rui has to think about it.

Secondly, officials are needed to govern the Qi country, and in the past two years, Daxia has continued to open Enke, and officials are selected through the imperial examination, and it seems that it will continue to open Enke next year.

In addition, it is to think of a good way to control the occupied Qi land as soon as possible, and now there is no time for the beginning of winter, and new crops will have to be planted in the spring next year.

And Pingbohou there, it is time to reach the Wa Kingdom, with the elite navy of Great Xia, what is the difficulty of exterminating the Wa Kingdom, which is not as large as the land area of Daxia, not to mention that the current Wa Kingdom has become extremely weak because of the war. And after destroying the Wa Kingdom, you can send troops to garrison it here, and build the Wa Kingdom into a transit station, which is of great significance.

Near the end of the evening, the internal officials suddenly came to report, saying that Chang Shenghou and Zhang Jiedu had just entered Beijing, and they were already waiting at noon.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed and immediately summoned the two into the hall.

After waiting for a while, I saw the two of them hurriedly enter the hall, Xiao Rui personally walked down to greet them, looking at the appearance of the two of them, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The two heroes of Great Xia are finally back!" ”

Tian Boyuan and Zhang Liang hurriedly bowed: "Weichen Zhang Liang greets His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Xiao Rui held up the arms of the two and said with a smile: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

Chang Shenghou is a little older, there is white between his temples, he is only one or two years younger than His Majesty, and he is also sixty years old, which is considered an old age in ancient times, and he still needs to work in the army, and the pressure is not small.

Zhang Liang is still a boy and a girl, but his skin is much darker than when he left, which shows that he does it himself, and often inspects the 14 states to inspect the people's conditions, otherwise he would not be like this.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Rui said sincerely.

The two laughed and said, "Your Highness is serious, this is what your subordinates should do." ”

As he spoke, the two took out a thick official document, which was used for debriefing, which recorded in detail the official affairs they were responsible for. After the internal official presented it to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui simply flipped through it, and said: "This thing will be slowly seen in the palace in the future, or listen to you talk about it in person, and say some things that the palace dares to be interested in." ”

Zhang Liang signaled to Tian Boyuan to give priority to the elders and let him speak first.

Tian Boyuan said: "Your Highness, the army is busy with farming, leisure exercises, with eighty percent of the soldiers willing to settle their homes in Anxi Province, and intermarry with local women, now they have established military towns with a strength of 100,000 soldiers and horses in ten states, with a total strength of 1 million. Once the Western Qin State attacked, it could quickly assemble and deal a heavy blow to the other party. In addition, on the Qijiang River, Gan Ning was appointed as the commander of the naval army, and on the basis of the strength of the Qijiang battalion in Zhao'an, he formed three naval armies, which were stationed in the section of the Qijiang River, the Songyang River section, and the Jiangquan River section, with a total strength of 120,000! ”

The fourteen prefectures of Anxi are the five central states: Lanzhou, Eastern Tibet, Zangxi, Lingshan, and Qishui, and the five northern states: Songyang, Panasonic, Yanggu, Sui, and Kaizhou. Four southern states: Jiangquanzhou, Jiangzhongzhou, Yuanzhou, and Saxa.

The Qijiang River originates from the northern grassland, is from the snow-capped mountains on the countless trickles converge, rushing south, forming a longest river in the Shenzhou continent, the Qijiang River and the Yellow River in the territory of the Yellow River in the same place, but the water of the Qijiang River is clear and transparent, and the Yellow River flows through the loess belt in the Great Xia to form the unique color of the Yellow River water.

In addition, the Yangtze River in the south of Bactria and the Yan River in Yan are the Qi River flowing to the border, affected by the topography, and split into two rivers, in the territory of Bactria and Yan Kingdom, and then poured by other rivers, forming a wave of the river to the east and merging into the sea.

Now Great Xia has selected three suitable sections of the Qi River to form a naval army, which is not only to prevent the Qin State from crossing the river to invade, but also to serve as a strategic reserve.

"What about the number of ships?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan said with a smile: "There are forty extra-large warships, nearly 100 large building ships, the largest warships can support more than 400 people at most, more than 300 medium-sized warships can support 100 people to fight, more than 500 small building ships, and hundreds of small ships. And after more than two years of training, these sailors have become proficient in combat, much better than the former Qijiang battalion, if the Qin navy is slow to progress, or is still at the level of the Qijiang battalion, then they must be allowed to bathe in the water. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, the role of the warship is not only to fight the enemy, but also to cross the river. If you really want to attack Qin, how to cross the river with hundreds of thousands of troops is a difficult point. The Qijiang River is not like the Yellow River, and some sections of the river will be closed in winter, but the Qijiang River will not.

Of course, it's not absolutely not.

As the temperature in winter is getting lower and lower, it is also possible for the Qijiang River to freeze and seal the river.

But who knows when the river will be closed, so the construction of the water army must not be taken lightly.

Now that the navy can fight, it can fight tough battles, plus the ten garrisoned military towns, the current fourteen prefectures of Anxi are impregnable, and they are not afraid of the Qin army's attack.

However, with the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Changsheng and the Marquis of Zhenyuan stationed in Anxi, the corresponding troops in the territory of Great Xia were much less.

If a large-scale uprising suddenly broke out in Great Xia, it would not be possible to stop it by relying solely on the local commander to lead the guard.

Therefore, as the land area and population increase, the number of troops will inevitably increase.

This is also a question that Xiao Rui will have to plan well in the future.
