Chapter 387: Founding the country and ascending the throne to dominate the world
On the evening of Du Fuwei's return to Liyang City, he invited the generals of the army to a banquet in Liyang City County, saying that he was informing him of the treatment experience of going to Donglai City this time.
His early return completely disrupted Fu Gongyou's plan, and Fu Gongyou was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he hurriedly launched a conspiracy to seize power in the early morning of the same day, leading 3,000 henchmen to attack the county government compound.
Fortunately, Du Fuwei was prepared, and after the banquet, he left the county government compound through the secret passage, secretly went to the Liyang army camp in the city, and secretly mobilized his descendants to make all preparations for counterinsurgency.
At the same time, just in case, he secretly notified the 5,000 Allied cavalry stationed in the south of the city.
Therefore, when Fu Gongyou had just led 3,000 soldiers into the county government compound, Du Fuwei led 20,000 elite soldiers to surround them in the county government compound.
Seeing that the conspiracy was revealed, Fu Gongyou wanted to lead the soldiers to break through and flee, but unfortunately at this time his 3,000 soldiers had already lost their morale, and they only resisted for more than a quarter of an hour, and they were defeated by the army led by Du Fuwei, and they surrendered on their knees.
And Fu Gongyou took 300 personal soldiers to get out of the encirclement, but was stopped by the Allied cavalry on the perimeter, and finally died under the random arrows.
Shortly after this battle, Su Shang issued an order to restart the attack on Yuzhang County, and Du Fuwei led 50,000 allied troops formed by the reorganization of the Liyang Army to cooperate with Qin Qiong's command, and the two armies launched a fierce attack on the Yuzhang Army at the same time.
At this time, the Yuzhang army was in civil strife. A few months ago, Lin Shihong suddenly fell seriously ill and died, and on the night of Lin Shihong's death, Lin Rust, who had not returned to Yuzhang County, suddenly led his army back to Huiji overnight and forcibly took over the 100,000 troops of the Huiji camp.
As a result, the state of Chu, which Lin Shihong had single-handedly established, was divided and fell into serious civil strife.
The already weak Yuzhang army, coupled with the division and civil strife, was not the opponent of the allied army at all, and it was defeated for a while, and was attacked by the two allied armies all the way into Yuzhang City.
In less than two months, the hundreds of thousands of Yuzhang troops were completely over, and the once glorious Lin clan disappeared because of this.
Almost at the same time, the Xiao Liang regime in Baling was also mired in serious civil strife.
With the efforts of the secret agents of the Allied Army, the suspicious and suspicious Xiao Mo suddenly designed to get rid of Dong Jingzhen, who supported his meritorious service, and prepared to comprehensively cut the feudal domain and take over power, which made Xiao Liangjunchen, who was already full of contradictions, tear all his faces at once and fell into a fierce infighting.
The soldiers of the allied army who sat down to watch the tiger fight saw the opportunity, and when the victory or defeat was about to be divided, Li Jing and Xie Yingdeng led the army to kill at the same time, and it only took a month and a half to kill the capital of Liang and join forces outside Jiangling City.
Three days later, Xiao Mo led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to surrender, and Xiao Liang and his country were destroyed.
During this period of time, the prestige of Luoyang Wang Shichong relied on the prestige brought by the Battle of Bishan, and he couldn't wait to completely digest the victory, so he took advantage of the aftermath of the Great War and the temporary powerlessness of the allied forces at this time to force Yang Yu to abdicate and give way to the country, and successfully established the country and ascended the throne as emperor.
It is precisely because of this that soon after Li Jing and others captured Xiao Liang, they were ordered by Su Shang to lead the army into the territory of Zheng State, which had just been founded.
More than 200,000 allied troops divided the soldiers into three routes, and attacked Zheng from three directions at the same time, Wang Shichong took care of one and lost the other, and every time he failed to defend, he lost even battles, and finally had to shrink his forces and retreat into Luoyang City, preparing to defend the city and use the advantage of the city to consume the strength of the allied army.
Wang Shichong made up his mind to defend the city to the death, in order to prevent the secret agents of the alliance from cooperating with stealing the city inside and outside, he not only replaced the soldiers who held the city gate with his own lineage elite, but also ordered to completely seal the three major city gates in the east, west and north.
Even the only possible south gate, behind which a thick retaining wall was added.
Moreover, when he retreated into the city, he gathered a total of nearly 110,000 troops, plus the original defenders of Luoyang City, the strength of the entire Luoyang City reached a terrifying 150,000 people.
Luoyang City, as the capital of a country, is originally a city with high walls and thick walls, such a force to defend the city, coupled with a variety of strict measures to defend the city, even if the Allied army uses Thor gunpowder to break through the city gate, in the end it can only be forced into the city, and it is impossible to take Luoyang City without four or five hundred thousand troops.
It is a pity that the approach of the Allied army was beyond his expectations, and after the siege of the city, more than 200,000 Allied soldiers only besieged the city, but instead sent 50,000 cavalry to the surrounding counties to suppress bandits and calm the people, and guide the people to resume farming.
After Wang Shichong learned the news, he was instantly dumbfounded, the alliance army's divine operation of besieging the city without attacking it broke all his wishful thinking at once.
The 150,000 soldiers eat horses and chew and need a huge amount of grain and grass every day, and the grain and grass stored in the city alone cannot support it for long. Sure enough, the Allied army had only besieged the city for less than three months, and the grain and grass in his hands had been exhausted.
During this period, in order to lure the Allied soldiers to storm the city, he used all kinds of methods such as insulting the generals, submitting letters to ask for battle, etc., but Li Jing and others sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and adhered to the principle of besieging the city without attacking, and only sent people to beat drums and harass it every day, at most, they sent cavalry to shoot a round towards the city, and there was no other action.
They didn't even respond to Wang Shichong's risky action of sending a small force of cavalry out of the city to try it, but only sent scout soldiers to watch from afar.
Of course, once these tentative small groups of cavalry were too far away from the city, Li Jing would immediately send superior forces to cut off their way back to the city, and then launch a fierce offensive to annihilate them under the city walls.
Many attempts were fruitless, but because the soldiers were annihilated under the city, the morale of his army declined, and the morale of the army was unstable, Wang Shichong finally had to give up his illusions and honestly stay in the city.
In order to raise food, Wang Shichong's black hand first reached out to the ordinary people in the city, and he ordered all the food of the ordinary people in the city to be confiscated, and then implemented a unified ration.
Of course, the big families in the city can't avoid the end of being taken the initiative to donate money and food.
However, food was still insufficient, and after a while, he found an excuse to destroy several large families and seize their money and food for military rations. After doing this again and again, he successfully extended the time to hold the city for another three months.
Just as Wang Shichong was ready to make a move again and again against the big families, the remaining big families in the city joined forces to rebel in order to protect themselves, which eventually led to a civil strife throughout the city.
At this time, Su Shang, who had arrived outside Luoyang City for several days and personally commanded the army, immediately seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to order the use of Thor gunpowder to blast through the east gate, and successfully led the army into Luoyang City.
In this battle, the ordinary people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the big families were also stripped to the extreme, and Wang Shichong was even more defeated and the country was destroyed, and finally died in the chaos.
After this battle, after repeated persuasion by civil and military officials, Su Shang finally decided to establish the country and ascend the throne.
On the ninth day of March of the following year, Su Shang held the founding ceremony in Luoyang City, which had been renovated, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the name of the country to the alliance, and the year name was Zhaowu.
On the ceremony, Su Shang canonized his eldest son Su Rui as the crown prince on the spot, and at the same time canonized Cui Qingying as the queen and Yang Qintong as the concubine.
Later, five people including Du Ruhui and Li Jing were awarded the title of national duke, and there were more than 100 people such as county dukes and county dukes.
After the establishment of the allies, the heroes who fought for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty were only left with the Su League, Li Tang, and Dou Xia, and at this time they also adopted a policy of recuperation, and for a while, the ancient land of Shenzhou ushered in a short period of peace.
In July of the second year of Zhaowu, Su Shang suddenly ordered Li Jing and others to lead 200,000 elite troops, and the troops were divided into three ways to launch a devastating attack on the Xia State, and Li Yuan of the Tang State also moved when he heard the wind, and half a month later ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to lead an army of 150,000 troops from the northwest to enter the territory of the Xia State.
The two powerhouses invaded at the same time, and the Xia Kingdom, which was already the weakest, suddenly panicked, and the big families of various families plotted their way back.
Two months later, the elite army of the allies besieged Leshou City, and Dou Jiande finally surrendered after holding on for several days, and the Xia State established by him was also tacitly divided between the League and the Tang Dynasty, and the country was completely destroyed.
After joining forces to destroy the country, the two countries returned to calm again, and even signed a peace agreement and sent envoys to each other.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Zhaowu, a Xuanwu coup d'état suddenly broke out in the Tang Kingdom. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, launched a mutiny, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji were killed on the spot, but fortunately, the sons of both of them were secretly warned in advance, and they both escaped from Chang'an City in time.
Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne as emperor, but the once-prosperous Li Tang Empire was also divided and fell into serious civil strife.
Three months later, under the pretext that Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father to lose his morality and was unworthy of being a monarch's father, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, and Su Xingchen were divided into three routes, leading a total of 300,000 elite troops into the territory of Li Tang.
A year later, with the "Boom! Rumble! Su Shang personally commanded the 200,000 allied troops to attack Chang'an City from the south and north gates at the same time, and the Tang Emperor was finally defeated and committed suicide, and the Li and Tang kingdoms perished.
