Chapter 146: Clever Intruder
The infinite ocean island country saw the opportunity, and chose to have a territory in the Xia Dynasty that was affected, the emperor died and returned to the sky, and the seven princes sent troops to invade when they seized the heir, this invasion, the infinite ocean island country sent 90 million troops, with Luwangjiang as the entrance, and invaded the territory of the Xia Dynasty on a large scale.
Unlike the last exploratory invasion, this invasion significantly improved the strategic deployment, and the first invasion was when the first emperor was still reincarnated, and saw that the imperial court could easily mobilize troops and materials within the territory, so they immediately retreated and returned.
But this time it was different, the first emperor died, the new emperor's foundation was unstable, Xia Yuanyou's brothers did not recognize his throne, and sent troops to crusade against the new emperor, and the ministers and military generals of the imperial court were divided between the three camps, and it was impossible to form a unified combat deployment force.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that the infinite island country ocean sent troops to invade, although Peng Tiangang and the eldest prince had made arrangements in advance, but in the face of the large-scale invasion of the infinite ocean island country, the soldiers guarding Luwangjiang were still outnumbered, and all of them died on the battlefield.
The generalissimo of the soldiers and horses sent by the Infinite Ocean Island Country this time is named Nakamoto Sakurako, who is the sister of the monarch of the island country, Nakamoto Sakurako is forty-two years old this year, looks like a fairy, and has a super talent for war, she is the seventh general on the list of famous generals, and is respected as the female god of war by the soldiers of the Infinite Island Country.
After Nakamoto Sakuraki captured Luwangjiang, she carefully analyzed the situation on the map, she did not choose the territory under the command of the crown prince and the second prince to invade, but specially selected the territory of the imperial court to start, seeing that her territory was fine, the eldest prince and the prince were all indifferent, leaving only the emperor to jump his feet in a hurry.
In just ten days, Zhongyuan Sakurako has already conquered seven territories, and when he captured the famous territory, a group of soldiers captured the younger brother of the first emperor Xia Ding, ----- to the prince Xia Bei, Xia Bei is more than fifty years old this year, and his appearance is very similar to the first emperor, and there is a momentum on his face that is not angry and arrogant.
Xia Bei had an excellent tone in his early years, and had a high reputation among his subjects, but later he took the initiative to give way, resigned all his official positions, and concentrated on returning to the fiefdom to govern his territory.
At this moment, although he was reduced to a prisoner, but Xia Bei was not afraid, he was escorted by a captain of ten thousand years, after catching Xia Bei, this captain of ten thousand men happily escorted him to the headquarters to receive the reward, seeing Xia Bei walking slowly, Wan Captain beat and scolded angrily.
Escort Xia Bei to the headquarters, tell his identity to Nakamoto Sakurako, and wait for the captain to receive the reward, and capture a prince-level governor of the enemy, this is not an ordinary military feat, it can shine in the annals of history, this kind of merit, at least three levels in a row.
After Zhongyuan Sakurako learned the identity of Xia Bei, she was overjoyed, she did not treat Xia Bei as a prisoner, but courtesy, saw that Xia Bei had whip marks on his body, and learned that he was beaten by the captain, Nakamoto Sakurako's face immediately showed anger, she ordered the arrest of the captain, pushed out of the tent, and cut off the head of the man in front of Xia Bei.
Then, Nakamoto Sakurako kept apologizing to Xia Bei, and sent someone to invite all Xia Bei's family members to the headquarters for hospitality, during the banquet, she ordered the prestige to be returned to Xia Bei, and all the troops were withdrawn, and then she had a secret conversation with Xia Bei.
No one knows what the two talked about, let alone what agreement the two reached? However, three days later, Nakamoto Sakurako issued a statement, saying that in order to ensure the peace of mind on the border between the two countries, the Infinite Ocean Island Nation had decided to support the younger brother of the former emperor, ------ Prince Xia Bei, as the new emperor of the Xia Dynasty.
Xia Bei chose an auspicious day and held a grand enthronement ceremony in his own territory, before ascending the throne, Nakamoto Sakurako killed all the opponents who did not support Xia Bei, leaving only those supporters, and let Xia Bei reward his relatives and confidants according to the system of the imperial court.
At the same time, Nakamoto Sakurako gave Xia Bei all the civil officials and military generals who surrendered in the seven territories, and these people set up a small court in Fame Frontier, in order to make their behavior reasonable, Xia Bei and those traitors who came to Cheng came up with a statement------ bend the line to save the country.
Although Xia Bei said that it sounded good, all discerning people could see that this so-called bent line to save the country was actually a defection to the enemy, to put it bluntly, Xia Bei was a puppet supported by the infinite ocean island country, using Xia Bei's identity to recruit those traitors and traitors.
I have to say that Nakamoto Sakurako's trick is wonderful, she supported Xia Bei, created a pseudo-imperial court, used official positions and money to recruit traitors, and then let those traitors lead their troops to attack the city and seize the land, killing each other, while she hid behind her back and enjoyed the success.
Now the two sides have a tacit understanding, Zhongyuan Sakurako led the troops to attack the territory, after the breakthrough, Xia Bei sent people to accept the governance, these territories have actually become the military base of Zhongyuan Sakurako, every time a territory is broken, Zhongyuan Sakurako is the first to select loot and materials.
She scavenged the materials and money that she scavenged and transported them back to the Infinite Ocean Island Country in a steady stream, leaving only a small part of the reward to the puppet court of Xia Bei and those traitors, although they only got a small part of the last time, those traitors were all grateful to Zhongyuan Sakurako.
A month later, Nakamoto Sakurako had conquered ten territories one after another, and at this time, Xicheng Luzhu Weng was the first to notice the abnormality, and after carefully analyzing the situation, he advised the prince to suspend internal fighting and unite with the outside world.
At the same time, Autumn Luobei was also alerted to Nakamoto Sakurako's policy, and after weighing the gains and losses, he found the second prince and thought that the crusade against the imperial court should be suspended, and everyone should join forces for the time being to drive out the invaders of the Infinite Ocean Island Country.
When Xia Yuanyou received a letter from the crown prince and the second prince to join forces to resist the enemy, he directly refused, although the territories that have been lost recently are all from his own camp, but those are all peripheral territories and belong to the marginal areas.
After that, the territory of his own camp is all in it, and the rest are the territories of the crown prince and the second prince, if the infinite ocean island country continues to attack, then he can only choose the territory of the prince and the second prince, in this way, it is equivalent to doing him a favor.
Xia Yuanyou has his own abacus, and when the Infinite Ocean Island Country breaks through all the territories occupied by the crown prince and the second prince, there will be forty territories on his side, and at that time, without the checks and balances of the prince and the prince, he can face the invaders alone.
At that time, without the intervention of the princely faction and the second prince's faction, all the subjects of the world are the imperial court, and in front of the country, all the people of the Xia Dynasty will support the imperial court, and after he expells those invaders, there will be no opponents in the world.
Based on this idea, Xia Yuanyou rejected the joint agreement between the crown prince and the second prince to suspend internal fighting and defend against foreign enemies together. ”
After hearing this reply, the crown prince and the second prince gritted their teeth angrily, not only them, but many people showed dissatisfaction, thinking that Xia Yuanyou did not understand the overall situation and was caught in the disregard of the people of Li, and Ling Xia, who was busy with disaster relief in Ziyanjiang, also frowned after learning about Xia Yuanyou's attitude.
