It has entered March, the spring ploughing season has arrived, and the people in the three places under the rule of the Yun family are busy cultivating their fields, looking forward to the autumn harvest in their hearts.

After experiencing a natural disaster and a war, Zezhou's losses were too heavy, and only rest and recuperation is the right way, which is also the development policy set by Yunyi: do not fight and concentrate on "resting".

The Yun clan is recuperating here, but the war in the outside world has not stopped, and the flames of war are raging in the realm of the Great Li Empire.

Suzhou

Because of the southward retreat of the Suzhou Guangming Army, Suzhou completely fell into the hands of the family, and the nine counties and a city in Suzhou (Suzhou City) were divided between the Thorn Tong Sha Clan, the Miyang Lu Clan, and the Guo Family, but as a local force, the Thorn Tong Sha Clan and the Miyang Lu Clan were very dissatisfied with the Guo family, an outsider, thinking that the Guo family had thinned the interests of the two families, and your Guo family was just an outsider, occupying one county was enough, how could it occupy more territory, and the Sha and Lu families could not follow.

You must know that the Guo family was beaten by the Guangming Army and fled in embarrassment, with heavy losses, if there was no help from the Suzhou family (it is not help, but a kind of alliance, uniting against the Suzhou Guangming Army), Guo may have entered the footsteps of the Fangling Qian family.

So the two families of Shalu came to the door together, and asked the Guo family to hand over the territory outside the county, Guo's naturally refused, how could he still spit out what he ate in his mouth, everyone was one of the twelve clans, if the Guo family gave in today, what would outsiders think, even if they couldn't beat the two Shalu families, the Guo family would have to stand up.

After many skirmishes between the Guo family and the Shalu family, dozens of people and a maximum of hundreds of people, the skirmish finally turned into a large-scale conflict, and the two armies of the Shalu family pressed the border, and the Guo army could only strictly defend the city, and the area outside the city was ceded to the two Shalu families, although there was no major war between the two sides, but the Guo family also completely parted ways with the Suzhou family.

At this moment, the two Guangming Army, which had been "making trouble" in Linzhou, suddenly withdrew from the Linzhou region and advanced northward, the purpose is self-evident, naturally Suzhou in the north, and the three major families in Suzhou also quickly stopped their actions, and the two sides reached a reconciliation and mobilized their forces to resist the Guangming Army preparing to go north.

The two Guangming Army, one is the main force of the Guangming Army led by Yuan Hao, the leader of the Bright Sect, with a strength of up to 155,000 people, and the other is the Suzhou Guangming Army led by Jiang Zhou with about 53,000 people, and the two Guangming Roads together exceed 200,000.

And Suzhou, the strength of the two families of Shalu is about 60,000 each, and the strength of the Guo family is only more than 40,000, a total of less than 170,000, if the three work together, they can still resist the 200,000 Guangming Army, but now no matter how much the three families work together, they can't recover to the level of dealing with the Suzhou Guangming Army before.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the Guangming Army entered the Suzhou region without any resistance.

The three great families know that the combined strength of the three families is not as good as the Guangming Army, except for a part of the army to stay behind, the three families only gathered to 120,000 troops, compared with the 200,000 Guangming Army, the gap is huge, the family alliance army can only refuse to defend the city, stick to the major county towns, in order to resist the 200,000 Guangming Army, at the same time, the three major families are also crazy to catch the strong men, regardless of the old and young, all the men who can still walk and can hold weapons, are forced to recruit into the army.

The three great families did not forget to send people to ask for help from the imperial court and the families of Qinzhou and Laizhou, even if the probability of them sending troops was relatively small, the three major families had to give it a try.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, the first battle between the Guangming Army and the Shijia Alliance broke out in Fuping County, Fuping County had 30,000 defenders, surrounded by seven times the Guangming Army, and the defenders held on for three days, and the city was broken.

By the end of March, half of Suzhou had fallen into the hands of the Guangming Army, and the family alliance army was struggling to resist the Guangming Army, and the three major families had already prepared their equipment, if they really couldn't resist in the end, then they would retreat to Qinzhou.

Hengzhou

When the Tu Huang clan really couldn't hold on, under the fierce attack of more than 100,000 Guangming Army, even when Tu Huang's recruited troops in their own territory, they couldn't resist the fierce Guangming Army, and the recruits were only slaughtered on the battlefield, and even some recruits who were captured by the Guangming Army joined the Guangming Army under the propaganda of the Guangming Sect.

In the two months of fighting, the strength of the Guangming Army in Hengzhou not only did not decrease, but there were signs of increase, and the Huang family was also very helpless, when the current head of the Tu Huang family, Huang Hetong, was also unwilling to leave Hengzhou, the place where the Huang family was rooted, and left Hengzhou, the foundation of the Huang family was gone, how could the Huang family still fight for hegemony in the world, and now the Huang family only has one way to escape - the Jiuling Mountain Range, which is a big mountain range that blocks the Dali Empire and the Tang Empire, and there are many dangers inside, if there is no other way, Huang Hetong was also reluctant to choose this path.

At the end of March, Yun's plan to "grab the population" in Hengzhou came to an end for the time being.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, Huang Hetong ordered to give up the remaining territory, gathered more than 18,000 remnants, plus 8,000 family members, totaling about 26,000 people, and retreated eastward into the Jiuling Mountains, so that Hengzhou had completely fallen into the hands of the Guangming Army.

After the Guangming Army took control of Hengzhou, it left a force of 20,000 horses to guard the area where the Huang clan retreated into the Jiuling Mountains, and sent a force of 30,000 horses to the north of Hengzhou to prevent the enemy of Huizhou from moving south, and the remaining 80,000 Guangming troops in Hengzhou quickly rushed west to Hezhou.

During the period when Hezhou sent 50,000 horses to support the Hengzhou Guangming Army, the Hezhou family coalition army reacted and attacked the Guangming Army, intending to recover the territory occupied by the Guangming Army.

Fortunately, Cheng Ying ordered the Hezhou Guangming Army to fight and retreat, and was not allowed to fight hard with the Shijia Coalition Army, and when Hengzhou was controlled by the Guangming Army, the Hezhou Guangming Army still occupied a quarter of Hezhou's territory, and the main force of the Hezhou Guangming Army was still there.

Shinshu

Since the year later, Yuan Chang, the holy son of the Bright Sect, led 80,000 Qinzhou Guangming Army to withdraw into Xinzhou, and converged with the Xinzhou Guangming Army.

Although the Guangming Army has an advantage in Xinzhou, but the battle situation is also very tragic, Xinzhou borders the Dayue Empire, Wuwei Pass firmly blocks the army of the Dayue Empire outside the pass, the defenders of Wuwei Pass are all Xinzhou people, in the two hundred years of the establishment of the Dali Empire, I don't know how many Xinzhou people died in battle to protect Wuwei Pass, which leads to the tradition of Xinzhou people martial arts, even if ordinary people have no money and can not practice martial arts, they must learn some moves.

In this environment, in the battlefield of Shinshu, few Shinshu people will surrender, no matter who the enemy is, they will fight to the death, even if they are injured, they have to endure the pain and fight hard with the enemy, it can be said that in the battlefields of the states of the Dali Empire, in addition to Zezhou, the battlefields of Shinshu and Huizhou (Zhangde Pass) are the most tragic.
