At this time, the authorities were clear and the bystanders were confused, and Liu Bian did not know the situation in Xian, so of course he couldn't say why.

"The king, now that the King of Jin has lost his face, and Yongxing City is guarded by royal guests, the minister thinks that Yongxing City should give up. Moreover, there was a word of mouth from Antaihou's side, and he was extremely dissatisfied, and he had already reported the news to the Son of Heaven, once it was spread, I am afraid that it would not take two months for the whole world to know. ”

"Then will the King of Jin still send troops!"

"Jin Prime Minister Fan Tao asked people to spread the word, and the King of Jin promised that he would send troops as promised."

"Not only is he unprofitable, but he has also broken his face this time, can he send troops for the widow? If the widow does not believe it, he must have another plan. ”

"The king, this time he not only lost face, but was ashamed of the people of the world, if he refused to fulfill the covenant and send troops, he would undoubtedly offend the king, and his losses would be even greater. In this way, the Jin Kingdom is a treacherous loner. Therefore, the minister thought that the Jin State would definitely not break the contract.

However, this time the Jin Kingdom is not profitable, so it will definitely not go all out to send troops for the king to fight the thieves, and the minister guesses that the king of Jin most likely wants to press the soldiers and horses in the rear of our army, so that our army will go to fight the black turban thieves, so that they have fulfilled the covenant and preserved their strength at the same time. ”

"Damn! The widow knows that the Jin people have no faith at all. ”

"Great King, now is not the time to anger the Jin Kingdom, the top priority is to complete the alliance as soon as possible, even if it is a nominal alliance, it is better than the stigma of Yongxing in the name of the alliance. Once the news of Yongxing City spread, Liang Tianzi was convicted, which was afraid that it would damage the prestige of the king, so it was best to immediately send envoys to various countries to urge the kings to join the alliance and join forces as soon as possible to discuss the black scarf.

In addition, Xianguo will not break the alliance, and it will inevitably conspire with Zhiguo secretly to plot the land of Sun, if our army cannot rush south before Xianguo recovers the lost land, and capture the land of Sun, Xianguo will occupy at least one or two counties. ”

"Then immediately send envoys to various countries to urge the alliance, and at the same time order the navy to sail to Zhuankou, move the cloud festival, and prepare to meet the alliance with the king of Jin."

"Your Ministers obey."

A few days later, the Jin, Song, and Changsun kingdoms met in the Yunjie Festival, and at the beginning of May, the Liuzhishui military state arrived belatedly, and docked at Yongxing Port for half a month, and the Yongxing Incident subsided, and the 50,000 soldiers transferred to the Lingling returned to the front one after another.

At the same time, 150,000 young and strong new people, 100,000 wagers from the baggage battalion, 200,000 people, more than 100,000 pack horses and donkeys, and more than 5,000 four-wheeled baggage vehicles were transferred to the west.

By mid-May, the Xian army launched three successive large-scale operations of more than 50,000 men, recovering all the remaining lost territory in Xianxi County, and the western front was thus transferred to the defense and did not continue to advance westward. The main force of 250,000 horses was led by Zhao Xun himself and went south to recover Chunan Nanjun.

At the same time, the impact of the Yongxing Incident spread rapidly, and the prestige of the Xianguo increased greatly, which reassured Zhiguo, and the king of Zhi had to report to the Xian army to send troops, so he ordered Gongliangyi to lead the army to the west, and at the same time Gongliangyi divided a group of 50,000 men and horses, and Gongliangsong and Gongliangxiu went north to make a feint attack from the southern flank to attract the rebel forces of Chunan Nanjun in order to respond to Zhao Xun's southward movement.

In late May, Yuke sent back a secret letter from Gongsun Yue, asking the Xian army to slow down its march in order to allow time to maneuver and continue to lobby.

Bai Liyan thought about it again, in view of the stubborn resistance of the Black Turban Army in the three battles in the middle of the year, in order to avoid greater sacrifices, he agreed to the request, and persuaded King Xian to slow down the use of troops in Chunan County, and at the same time sent a secret letter to Gongliang Xiujun to explain the reason.

In early June, the armies of Zhao Xun and Gongliang slowed down their march and stepped up the transfer of logistics grain and grass, while at this time, the king of Jin and the lord of Changsun were still chattering with each other about how to send troops.

At the end of May and the beginning of June, the letter of the alliance of the eldest grandson will be delivered to various countries one after another, at this time, the two armies of Xian and Zhi have sent troops one after another, and the Zhiguo took the lead in attacking the Yin County of Sun Guochang, cutting off the northward passage of the five counties of Xiaguan, Shangguan, Ganfu, Wanchuan and Pengyuan, Xu Guo saw that there was no hope of capturing the six counties, and it was no practical to continue to meet the alliance, so he gave up the alliance and sent troops to the north, trying to capture the two counties of Jiao County and Jianghui south of the Sishui River after recovering the lost territory, so as to attack the land of Sun Guo to the west.

In late June, the Xian army under the leadership of Zhao Xun regained the capital of the county capital of Chunan County and Anguo City, the Black Turban Army resisted to the death, killed more than 30,000 enemies, and captured more than 80,000 people.

At the beginning of July, Gongsun Yue replied with a letter as a guarantee, and Xiong Yandao secretly sent an envoy to Chenling to negotiate peace, rather than surrender.

Baili Yan was not approved, and suspected that Gongsun Yue had been detained by Xiong Lundao Design, so he rushed to the front line to meet Zhao Xun and urge to speed up the use of troops.

In mid-July, 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 cavalry infantry troops under Ye Xinsuo interspersed and arrived to the east of Chuanyang Pass, Gongliangsong and Gongliangxiu sent troops to attack the southeast of Pengyuan County, marched more than 370 miles in four days, and arrived at the west of Chuanyang Pass.

After four days of repair, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Xun's front army, in late July, Ye Xin's vanguard crossed the Chuanyang Pass and attacked Pengyuan County. Gongliang Song and Gongliang Xiu led the troops to the southwest and joined Gongliang Yi.

In view of the stubborn resistance of the Black Turban Army, Bailiyan dispatched more than 200 Chinese medicine officers from Yicaotanglang in Yongxing City to form a large army wounded battalion, set up a logistics medical battalion to go to the front line, and transferred strong hemostatic and analgesic herbs such as water and blood sucking, Lexian fruit, and hemostatic medicine powder to the front line.

Le Xian Fruit and Water Blood Sucking were all medicines obtained in the fierce battle against Qiu Bigong back then.

Water vampire is a kind of algae aquatic weed, which likes temperature, and the plant is brought back to the Xianguo country and the north is warm and warm, and the climate is extremely suitable for growth. After sampling and chopping, it can be stored in the disinfection clay tank and sealed, which can be stored for several months, and the effect after fermentation is better than that of the unfermented type, so the fermentation type has a longer shelf life.

At the same time, it is combined with blood and wind, and the effect is better when taken internally and externally. Even if the major artery ruptures, timely rescue can save a life. However, the blood storm is too expensive, and it is not produced in Xianguo, so it is rarely used for non-extremely serious injuries.

Lexian fruit likes warmth, which is conducive to tropical planting, and the varieties are better than those planted in the cold zone.

The counteroffensive entered the second half of July, the Changsun army was slow to move, and the Black Turban Army was able to draw troops from the north to counterattack Xianxi County, and the fierce battle lasted for more than a month, and in early September, it was thwarted by the metropolitan governor Gao Pei and Xue Sheng.

In the early summer of August, thanks to the power of artillery and the bombardment of hot air balloons, Zhao Xun destroyed the city and uprooted the village, recovering the entire territory of Chunan County, and the main force marched westward to attack Pengyuan with all his might. As a result, the hot air balloon changed its monotonous functions such as reconnaissance, cold arrows, and falling rocks, and turned the war into the era of air raids.

Pengyuan is located in the open plain, with vast plains and fertile land, the elevation of the Central Plains began to rise to more than 1,500 meters, the local area is neither natural hazards, nor has to do with passes, easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Ye Xin's cavalry was ordered to break away from the main force, sweeping back and forth, attacking and cutting off the supply of rebels in various places, and the Pengyuan rebels were unable to hold on, and successively withdrew to Wanchuan to hold on, and Zhao Xun conquered half of the land in Pengyuan County in mid-September.

At this time, the Gongliang army attacked Changyin and Xiaguan counties, because in the past few years, all kinds of gunpowder weapons have sprung up everywhere, and the common gunpowder filling and explosion weapons are now extremely common, although the Gongliang army is equipped with a large number of standard gunpowder weapons, but there is no artillery, can only be fired by trebuchets, or thrown by hand, the efficiency is extremely low, and the effect is not satisfactory.

The Black Turban Army developed a frenzied fire and thunder bomb with great power, which is a poisonous incendiary explosive spherical weapon loaded with oil, phosphate rock powder and sulfur, and ignited with gunpowder, which can be launched with a trebuchet and can also be used to defend the city.

It even imitated a swarm of bees to defend the country, overwhelmingly thrown to the battlefield, the range can often reach two hundred steps, posing a great threat to the traditional dense military formation, the door of the crossbow array of the Zhi army was broken, although the power of the black turban army gunpowder is not much, but it is more than enough to defend the city,

In this way, it caused great trouble to the Gongliang army, which lacked long-range firearms and equipment, and when attacking the city, it could only attack the city by traditional means such as catapults, temporary vehicles, tower vehicles, and ladder vehicles, and suffered great casualties.

At the same time, in the past few years of confrontation, the princes of various countries have dug holes in tunnels to bury gunpowder under the city wall to blow up the city wall, and the Black Turban Army has accumulated a set of city defense tactics in order to curb the cave blasting and destroying the wall.

And borrowed from the Xianjun law of defending the city, paved the city wall with mud and straw bags and wolf tooth slaps, dug moats in various important city towns, and dug soil pits everywhere under the city wall, filled the water tank into the pit and compacted, and then buckled a large vat upside down on the water tank, so that the two were combined, and the wooden stick was pressed against the tank to listen to the underground movement, which was extremely effective.

Once a hole is dug outside the city, after determining the location, the hole is dug in reverse and it is breached, so it is difficult to plant gunpowder and destroy the wall.

The Gongliang army was frustrated in the siege of the city, and soon it was attacked by Li Juebu, the supernatural king who went south from the territory of Changsun to aid Ganfu County, and Li Juebu was equipped with more than 30 miscellaneous artillery pieces and more than 500 shoulder-mounted firearms, which caused great shock to the Gongliang army.

At the same time, the Xu army turned to the counteroffensive, after several years of cultivation, the Xu army grassland cavalry increased to 80,000, encountered the main force of the Longyuan Heavenly King Pujian, the two counties fought in March and lost both wounded, the Xu army conquered the important town of Hongxiang with a heavy victory, and the Longyuan Heavenly King Pu was forced to retreat north in December.

By the end of September, Pengyuan County fell into the hands of the Xian army, the bombing of the hot air balloon caused a great shock to the Black Turban defenders, the battle lines of Xianxi, Qiunan, and Pengyuan counties have been connected as a whole since then, and the Gongliang clan learned that the Xian army had captured Pengyuan, so he quickly urged Zhao Xun to transfer troops to detour south to Changyin and join forces to break the enemy.

Zhao Xun sent Ye Xin, Xiao Qu, Gu Zhong, and Xu Jin 100,000 people to Changyin in a hurry, one is to reinforce, the other is to capture Ganfu County, from Shangguan and Wanchuan two counties to achieve an east-west attack, breaking through the Wanchuan natural danger.

Ye Xin and other four people led the troops to arrive in Changyin County in mid-October, the first battle was lost, nearly 20,000 casualties, the main reason is that the south is in winter fast, heavy rain, and the Xian army is mostly the northern army, Xianguo is still hot in October, the autumn is not obvious, and the temperature in the south in October has fallen to single digits, the Xian army is wearing a single clothes to the south, accompanied by heavy rain, the march is getting colder and colder, resulting in unprepared logistics, the army is sick and numerous, and the result is taken advantage of by the magic to kill the unprepared.
