Chapter 268: China's Northward Advance (2)

"Driving~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Outside Yufeng City in the north of Suizhou, a fast horse quickly galloped towards the Qin army camp 5 miles outside the city.

In the battle of Jianzhou, the Qin army won a complete victory, and the 150,000 Hou Shu army was annihilated under the front and rear attacks of the Qin army and the Hou Qin army, and Meng Zhixiang, the lord of Hou Shu, was killed in battle, and Jianzhou, Anzhou, Meizhou, and Dezhou all fell into the hands of the Qin army.

After the Great Breaking of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Wang Jian, the chief general of the Qin army, with the power of victory, personally led 400,000 Qin troops to approach the north of Suizhou, and attacked the three cities of Hengshan, Dongchan and Yufeng in three ways.

The remnants of the 200,000 Shu army are divided into three parts, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led 50,000 troops to be stationed in Hengshan and Dongchan two cities, and Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, led 100,000 troops to garrison Yufeng City, and the Qin army camp outside Yufeng City was stationed in the 200,000 Qin army led by Wang Jian, the main general of the Qin army.

"Report! General, Gongzhou urgent! ”

The sentry cavalry quickly passed through the camp of the Qin army, went straight into the tent of the Chinese army, and handed the battle report in his hand to Wang Qiandao.

At this time, the day's siege battle has ended, and the 40,000 Qin troops who launched the siege outside the city are busy cleaning up the battlefield and sorting out the war preparations.

"In the south, Huaguo has sent troops to occupy Yantan County in the south of Gongzhou, Emperor Sima Yu personally led 150,000 Huaguo troops to Gongzhou, and Manchu Haoge has also sworn in Jiufeng City, and is leading 230,000 troops to gather in Gongzhou, a big battle will start soon, what do you think?"

After taking the letter and reading it silently, Wang Jian gently put it on the table and said with a solemn expression.

At present, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, the army of Qin has reached 800,000 people, after defeating the Three Kingdoms Alliance, occupying the land of Yuanzhou, Bazhou, Yangzhou, Jianzhou, Meizhou, Anzhou, and Dezhou, its strength is a well-deserved first in Shu, only the remaining Wu Han army in Chongzhou and the Huaguo army with four states still have the strength to fight.

Especially for the Chinese National Army, Wang Jian is extremely jealous in his heart.

At the beginning of the third year of the Great War, when Wang Jian raised 400,000 troops to break into the land of Sichuan and Shu, the state of China had not yet been established, and the strength of Sima Yu, the king of the south, was only limited to Yong and Jin, with a population of only several million, and less than 300,000 available troops.

And only two years later, the original king of the south has been called the emperor of the country, according to the four states of the land of Hua under the rule of the population has exceeded 30 million, just from the population point of view, the strength of the entire Hua State has been comparable to the Qin State.

Especially in the first year of the emperor's reign, the entire country of China increased by more than 17 million people, all of whom were tribes that could fight well, and with Sima Yu's prestige among the various tribes, once these populations were all digested, they could pull out an army of millions of people at any time.

"Father, the strength of the Huaguo army is strong, and with the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we may not be able to defeat it, we need to prepare early!"

As soon as Wang Qian's words fell, Wang Ben stood up and spoke for the first time.

Among the Qin generals in the battalion, he was the only one who had fought against the Chinese army, and he knew the strength of the Chinese army, and with its sophisticated equipment and combat quality, it was by no means comparable to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had been in battle for a long time.

"What the major general said is reasonable, according to the intelligence we have collected in the past two years, the combat strength of the Huaguo army is indeed by no means comparable to that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which only has tens of thousands of elite Eight Banners. Huaguo is so urgent to send troops this time, it must be because we have broken the Three Kingdoms Alliance, their goal is to prevent our army from destroying the Shu army and occupying the five states, we need to lead troops to support as soon as possible, contain the Hua army, and buy time for the main force of the army to destroy the Shu army."

Wang Yi then stood up and spoke in agreement.

After Wang Ji finished speaking, the other generals in the tent also chimed in.

For Huaguo, the Qin army in the entire Sichuan and Shu has basically reached a consensus that it will be a strong enemy of the Qin army.

In the past two years, in the face of the rapidly rising power of China, the entire Qin army has already paid attention to it, and a large number of spies have been sent into the territory of China, and various news have been continuously transmitted.

"At present, we have just occupied the four places of Jianzhou, Meizhou, Anzhou, and Dezhou, and the people's hearts have not yet been attached, riots have occurred in various places from time to time, and the rear is unstable, so we need to calm down as soon as possible to create a stable rear for the army."

"Wang Di"

"In"

"You immediately lead the army and horses of your headquarters to return north, go to the four states, and the 100,000 Qin troops scattered in the four states are all under your control, and I will give you three months to quell the rebellion in the four states."

"Whoa"

"Wang Ben"

"In"

"You immediately transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from each of the left and right armies, and go south with the 80,000 Qiang cavalry under Yao Chang to support the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and be sure to contain the Chinese army in Le and Gong before the end of the war in Suizhou."

"Whoa"

After some discussion, Wang Jian finally made a decision and ordered Wang Ji to return to Sizhou to suppress the rebellion, while Wang Ben led an army of 180,000 to the south to support the Manchus.

For a time, the entire two states of Le and Gong were in turmoil, and a total of more than 500,000 troops from the three sides gathered in the direction of Gongzhou at the same time.

Whoa~

On the river outside the Gyeonggi area of Yongju, a three-story merchant ship under the banner of the Kirin Merchant Alliance broke through the water and headed for the port of Daxi Town.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

Just as the merchant ship was gradually approaching less than five miles in the direction of the port, there was a sound of gongs on the river, and three patrol speedboats belonging to the port were quickly heading towards the merchant ship on the river.

"The port has been requisitioned, and all merchant ships are heading downstream to dock at the town of Sankou"

The patrol ship approached quickly, and a patrol officer stood at the bow of the ship and shouted to the merchant ship.

"The port has been requisitioned? Heading to Sankou Town? But the goods on our ship are all ordered by the household department, and they must be shipped to the capital as soon as possible! ”

The merchant on the merchant ship was suddenly puzzled, and hurriedly took out the note from the household department and asked.

Since the establishment of Daxi Town Port, it has been the largest distribution port in Yongzhou, and has never been requisitioned and blocked, while the downstream Sankou Town is still more than 20 kilometers away from the capital, which is far away.

"Don't worry, there are already a large number of transport horses in the port of Sankou Town, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can quickly help you transport the goods to the capital."

The officer on the patrol ship explained comfortably with a pleasant face.

"。。。。。。"

"No need to ask, turn around and go to Sankou Town!"

Just as the merchant who had spoken out was about to make any more effort, another man next to him grabbed him and turned to the sailors of the merchant ship and ordered.

"Third child, why did you stop me just now? We just need to make some money, maybe it'll be done! ”

It wasn't until the merchant ship had left a few hundred meters that the merchant asked the third child who had stopped him with a puzzled expression.

"Look there!"

Hearing this, the third child pointed in the direction of the port of Daxi Town, and said in a trembling voice.

"This is going to make a big deal!"

When the merchant heard this, he looked in the direction he was pointing, and he froze for a moment, and only after a long time did he muttered in a low voice.

I saw that the river outside the port of Daxi Town in the distance had long been occupied by a dark shadow.

Although the distance was far away, he still recognized the identity of these black shadows at a glance, the black pressure warships docked on the river, almost occupying the entire river outside the port of Daxi Town, and the number of warships was probably no less than 2,000 in terms of scale.
