Half an hour later.

Jia Xu's four-way army occupied all parts of the camp one after another.

They came from all sides.

They were moving surprisingly fast. Because in the battalion, there were not many troops of the Western Shang Empire, and all the enemy troops went to the outside of the arsenal.

The strength of Jia Xu's four divisions can be regarded as trotting all the way.

There was no hindrance during the period.

Bang bang bang...

Rumble! Rumble!

Compared with the enemy army outside the arsenal, Jia Xu can be described as strong.

Not only were there several times as many soldiers as the enemy, but there was enough ammunition and artillery.

Most importantly, they surrounded the troops of the Western Shang Empire from three directions. All of a sudden, it was overwhelmingly dominant.

At the moment of firing, the enemy forces outside the arsenal were dealt a devastating blow.

Countless bullets and artillery fire, coming from the left, right, and rear, drowned them.

In a short time, the killed were in chaos.

"Sir, our troops, have arrived at the arsenal." The commander of the 10th division came to report.

"I've seen it..."

Jia Xu was particularly worried: "What about Your Majesty? Can it be in the arsenal? ”

"Your Majesty is really bold."

"How?"

The commander of the 10th Division replied: "The last general will be rewarded, it is His Majesty who led the assault team to capture the gate of the arsenal and hold on until we arrive." Moreover, His Majesty used only five hundred soldiers. ”

"So bold, in our Huaxia Empire, who else can there be?"

"Really?" Jia Xu asked suspiciously.

"How can the last general lie about such a big thing?"

"This..." Jia Xu really didn't expect that Xu Ding would personally go to the front line to fight.

As an emperor of a dynasty, when he fights on the front line, I am afraid that only Xu Ding can do it.

"Is Your Majesty alright?" Jia Xu took a deep breath and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"That's good."

Jia Xu said: "Pass on my order, all troops, with the arsenal as the center, to fight. Be sure to annihilate all the enemies. At the same time, send elite brigades to protect Your Majesty. ”

"Yes."

The commander of the 10th division took the order and left.

.........

The battle for the arsenal did not last long.

Because of the troops of the Western Shang Empire, there were not many weapons and ammunition.

Their weapons and ammunition are all in the arsenal and are controlled by Tai Shici.

A unit, without ammunition support, can still fight?

In addition, before fighting Jia Xu, they fought with Tai Shici for a few hours.

Now there is no ammunition at all.

After only a stick of incense, it failed.

Xu Ding and Tai Shici formed a two-sided attack on the enemy in the arsenal, and after a hard battle, they also defeated the enemy in the arsenal.

So far.

The battle of Nanchang basically came to an end.

The enemy's 100,000 troops were successively annihilated or captured by Guo Jia and Xu Ding, and they were all cleaned up. Xu Ding's army, although it has not yet entered Jingxiang, has pacified Jingxiang.

It's noon.

The war is over once and for all.

Tai Shici led his troops to clean up the battlefield.

Xu Ding meets with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's courage and strategy are greatly admired by the ministers, but next time... You can't take any more risks, you can't stand the fright. ”

"Hahaha... Got it. Xu Ding laughed loudly.

Come inside the arsenal.

After checking the weapons and ammunition stored inside, Xu Ding was even more happy: "This battle is worth it!" Not only did we completely annihilate the enemy army, but we also captured so many weapons and equipment, which is enough to build two more divisions. ”

Jia Xu said: "Where are there only two divisions..." ”

"In the arsenal, it is enough to equip two divisions. And the weapons and equipment captured by the nearly 100,000 enemy troops defeated by us, Your Majesty, think about it, how many should there be? ”

"yes..."

Xu Dingdao: "Our Huaxia country is getting stronger and stronger the more you fight, and in just one or two years, you can form three group armies, and you can also block the impulse of Wu County." I'm afraid that the Western Shang Empire never expected it. ”

"It is all because of the wise guidance of His Majesty that such a miraculous feat can be accomplished."

"Your credit is not small..." Xu Ding smiled and said: "When I return to Xuchang, I will reward my meritorious deeds, and Mr. should be the first to take credit." ”

"How dare you."

Jia Xu arched his hand.

Circled inside the arsenal.

Xu Ding was very satisfied.

"Wenhe, go to Jingzhou with me, and then go back to Xuchang, what do you think?" Walking outside the arsenal, Xu Ding asked.

"Obey."

Anyway, the war has ended, and there are Lu Su and Zhang Liao in Jiangdong, and they can completely control the situation. Jia Xu is no longer worried, and it is good to go back to Xuchang with Xu Ding.

Think about it, since the expedition, I haven't been home for more than half a year.

Not only did the soldiers want to go back, but Jia Xu also had a home.

............

Half a month later.

The weather is getting cooler.

The counties of Jingxiang are just after late autumn. Often at this time, every household has a surplus of food. But this year, the people of Jingxiang had a very difficult time.

The reason for this is that the troops of the Western Shang Empire are in trouble.

They are numerous, but they do not have enough food. What to do? Only local solicitation. It is said to be a solicitation, but in fact it is a grab. The local people are suffering.

It just so happened that after the autumn harvest, the grain that was robbed was a huge amount.

The advance brigade led by Xu Ding, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei, as well as the Imperial Forest Army, came outside Xiangyang City.

The officials of the city lined up to greet them.

Xu Ding didn't pay much attention to it and went straight into the city.

"Your Majesty, you know that the people of Xiangyang have suffered great losses in this battle. Not to mention the fact that a large amount of grain and food was taken away. The garrison of the Western Shang Empire recruited tens of thousands of people to build defensive fronts for them, and countless people died of exhaustion and starvation during this period. Guo Jia said.

"I have heard Wenhe say that the people of Jingzhou have indeed paid a lot for this war." For this matter, Xu Ding already had an idea.

Since the Western Shang Empire has plagued the people, as a Huaxia country, it should save the people.

One, in stark contrast to the enemy from outside. Let the people understand that only by following the Huaxia Kingdom and resisting foreign enemies can they live a good life.

Second, buy people's hearts and minds to prepare for the formation of the Third Army.

Such a good thing, why not?

"Bong-hyo."

"Yes."

Xu Ding said: "A notice was issued immediately, saying that our army fought bravely to kill the enemy and regained the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop. ”

"By the way, register again, see how many households, how many heads, and how many young people are in Jingzhou, and then give me an accurate number."

"Yes."

How could Guo Jia not understand that Xu Ding wanted to form the Third Army, so he was in a hurry to count the population.

Come to Xiangyang Mansion.

Xu Ding raised his eyes and said with a smile: "In the end, it is a rich state, and even the government has been built so big." Pity... Only now did we really own it. ”

"Yes, it was less than a month or two before the recovery of Jingxiang was captured by the Western Shang Empire. This time, our strength has increased greatly, and we have blocked the impulse of Wu County, and if the Western Shang Empire wants to get involved in Jingxiang again, I am afraid that it will only be a dream. Jia Xu said.

"Hahaha..."

All the civil and military forces laughed.

Everyone followed Xu Ding in and took a seat in the living room.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Cao Cao has expanded his army to 150,000 in Bashu and Xiliang, is it true?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"That's right, Cao Cao is indeed not what it used to be."

Xu Ding nodded, but hummed again: "But no matter how strong he is, he can't compare with us." This time, we have repelled the Western Shang Empire and sealed the wormhole, so we have enough time and energy to solve the matter of Bashu and Xiliang. I believe that in less than a year, the world will be decided. ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it won't be long before our Huaxia Kingdom can truly achieve reunification." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"But we still have a lot to do before we do that." Xu Ding slowly got up and said: "In the past few years, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and even Xuzhou have all been invaded by the Western Shang Empire, and the people everywhere have suffered countless casualties. Now that the Western Shang Empire has been driven out, it's time to straighten out the internal affairs.... ”

Guo Jia also said: "And Jiangdong!" ”

"Jiangdong is now peaceful on the surface, but in fact, on the other side of the wormhole, there are still millions of enemy troops, waiting for them, they may kill them at any time. With only a few brigades of Lu Su, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist. ”

"We need to improve our strength to be ready for future battles."

"Hmm."

Xu Ding nodded: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable. We cannot rest on our laurels and should seize this rare opportunity to make us stronger. ”

"Bong-hyo."

"Yes." Guo Jia is listed.

Xu Dingdao: "Urge the troops in Nanchang and let them return to Xuchang as soon as possible." I want to hold a grand military parade in Xuchang to celebrate the defeat of the Western Shang Empire. The second is to boost the morale of the whole army and make preparations for the formation of the Third Army. ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia responded, but said: "However, we have a lot of troops, all of which are stationed outside, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recall them." ”

"You don't have to recall them all, as long as there are one or two divisions represented by the first and second armies. The main purpose of the military parade is to take a big form, so that the people can see that our strong military appearance. As for the quantity, it can be announced, and no one counts it. Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Jia has no opinion.

.......

In the living room council for a long time, I shared lunch with all the civil and military personnel.

After that, they all dispersed.

Xu Ding was also drunk.

Just as he was about to lie down and prepare to rest, Dian Wei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, sent an urgent document, which made Xu Ding wake up all of a sudden.

This document is from Koto.

To be precise, it is Lu Su's handwritten letter.

Lu Su said in the letter that there seems to be something abnormal in the wormhole!

"No... I've just come back, and the Western Shang Empire is about to invade again? Xu Ding's heart, like a calm river, stirred up waves again.

"What is the purpose of Lu Su sending someone to send this letter?" Xu Ding took a closer look, and there was no intention of being strict and reckless in the letter. He just made a simple report on the abnormal movement of the wormhole.

In other words, Lu Su didn't feel that there was much danger.

The abnormal movement in the wormhole may not be man-made.

Therefore, there is no need for support.

Thinking about this, Xu Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dian Wei."

"Yes."

Dian Wei was still standing next to him.

Xu Ding said: "Don't tell anyone about this letter, including Jia Xu, Guo Jia, etc., and don't tell it, so as not to let everyone know about it and fall into a panic." ”

"What's the matter? The last general didn't read the letter, and he didn't know what was written. Dian Wei scratched his head.

"That's for the best."

Xu Ding put the letter away, as if he hadn't seen it.

However, there is a string in his heart.

Always thinking about the crisis in Jiangdong.

............

After resting in Xiangyang City for a day, Xu Ding led the army to cross the Neijiang River, from Xinye and Wancheng, and went around back to Yuzhou.

After driving hundreds of miles, we arrived at the capital Xuchang.

As early as a few days ago, Xi Zhicai received the news.

In order to celebrate the great victories of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, he arranged for all the officials to greet them outside the city gate. All the people of the city, along the streets, welcomed.

The scene was big and lively.

In the past, Xu Ding was very opposed to this.

It's also not used to it, and it's mandatory to make the people welcome.

But now, he supports Xi Zhicai, and the bigger the scene, the better.

If nothing else, it is to let the people know that after several years, the Huaxia Kingdom finally won the Western Shang Empire. Huaxia is invincible and can ensure a peaceful life for the people of the world.

"Your Majesty, you see that the people are welcome, very warm." Xi Zhicai followed Xu Ding into the city.

"You arranged it, right?"

"The minister just posted a notice for the people to voluntarily participate, and the minister did not expect that so many people would come." Xi Zhicai said.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to be too ostentatious?" He knows Xu Ding very well, and every time he organizes people to greet him, he will provoke Xu Ding with a lot of words.

But this time, Xu Ding shook his head: "No." You're doing a great job. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Xi Zhicai still wondered how Xu Ding had changed his attitude.

........

Under the warm welcome of the people, Xu Ding led the civil and military ministers and the army back to the city, first went to the school field, and then returned to the military camp from the school field.

During this period, the people saw the artillery and guns, and they kept talking.

It was these guns and artillery that defeated the Western Shang Empire.

And the source of these weapons is also the Western Shang Empire.

The people had to admire that in the absence of weapons and equipment, the army of Huaxia won again and again, and formed a new type of army, and finally won the victory.

Don't look at the current scenery, actually... The people knew in their hearts that this victory was not easy to come by, and it was won with countless blood and lives.

When Xu Ding passed by them, the people knelt down on their own initiative, and the mountain shouted long live.

An hour later.

Xu Ding went to the palace.

Except for Dian Wei, they have all dispersed.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the harem, or the study?" Dian Wei asked.

"What's wrong?"

Dian Wei scratched his head and smiled: "If Your Majesty goes to the study, the last general will go to guard and arm, and if Your Majesty goes to the harem, the last will go home first, there is still something at home." ”

"Something?"

Xu Ding remembered.

Dian Wei also has a wife and children.

His son, Dianman, is young and already strong in martial arts. But according to historical records, Dian Wei's wife seems to have a short life halfway, and she doesn't know...

Xu Ding said: "You don't have to worry about me, go home." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dian Wei was overjoyed and strode out of the palace.

Xu Ding went to the harem alone.

Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, etc., already knew that Xu Ding would return to the palace today, and they all dressed up hard, and did not set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

As soon as Xu Ding entered the harem, he was surrounded by them.
