As the Great Elder joined the camp of recuperation, everyone finally decided to send 50,000 troops to Suzhou first, and guard against the family alliance army in Qinzhou, and the remaining 80,000 troops were stationed in Tongzhou to guard against the official army in Linzhou and the family alliance army in Laizhou, so as to seize the time to recuperate and restore strength.

At the same time, everyone decided to keep the news of Yuan Hao's death secret from the outside world, once the news of Yuan Hao's death was known to the low-level soldiers, it would deal a major blow to the morale of the Bright Army.

On the afternoon of this day, the high-ranking members of the Bright Sect secretly cremated Yuan Hao's body, and the next day, Zhang Qi and Zhou Da left Tongzhou City with Yuan Hao's ashes, left the Bright Sect, and marched in the direction of Zezhou.

On the fifth day, the Second Elder, the Sixth Elder, and the Ninth Elder led a total of 50,000 Guangming troops north to Suzhou.

In mid-September, the news of the near-total annihilation of the Quadripartite Coalition reached Laizhou and Linzhou.

"Annihilation? How could it be all wiped out? After getting the news, Zhou Shu chattered in disbelief.

That's an army of 300,000, how could it be wiped out like this, anyone who heard the news would not be in disbelief, but it was true, the four-party coalition army was really defeated, and was engulfed by a monstrous flood, except for the Laizhou army, less than 34,000 remnants of the army were defeated and fled back to Laizhou, and the other three armies survived very few.

Soon, the news of the annihilation of the Quartet Coalition Army spread in Xinping City, and the people who had returned to normal life once again fell into fear, they thought that the Linzhou army was empty, and if the Guangming Army came, it would be over, even Fang Xu, the new emperor, was afraid that the Guangming Army would come over, not to mention other ministers in the court, some powerful people in Xinping City once again packed their bags, and if something was bad, they would flee Xinping City.

Xinping City became chaotic because of this, but Zhou Shu quickly issued one order after another, and announced to the residents of the entire Xinping City that there were still 50,000 elite troops in Xinping City, and if the Guangming Army came, it would not be able to take Xinping City, the largest city in the Dali Empire.

As soon as this notice came out, the people quieted down a little, the 50,000 elite army can indeed make the people feel at ease, what they don't know is that there are indeed 50,000 troops stationed in Xinping City, but the elite army is only 15,000 people, including 5,000 Dangkou cavalry, and the remaining 35,000 people are just recruits who have not been on the battlefield once, Zhou Shu doubts that they will be scared away when they fight with the Bright Army.

If you want to hold Linzhou, you must mobilize more troops, but the entire Linzhou official army, including the 50,000 defenders of Xinping City, is only about 100,000 together, and most of them are new soldiers, Linzhou needs support, Zhou Shu once again asked Fang Xu to issue an edict from King Qin, so that families from other states can support Linzhou.

The Boling Wang clan and the Chungling Sun clan of Laizhou received the news of the annihilation of the Quartet army earlier than the imperial court, and the Wang and Sun families were greatly frightened, and were very worried that the Guangming Army was coming to attack, so they hurriedly transferred most of the remaining troops in their hands to the north of Laizhou, and merged with the defeat of more than 30,000 remnants of the fleeing army, and gathered 70,000 soldiers and horses.

Now the entire army in the hands of the Wang and Sun clans is only about 80,000 people, and most of the troops are transferred to the north of Laizhou to defend the Guangming Army, and the rear troops are empty.

The Sha family, the Lu family, and the Guo family in Suzhou were the third to learn the news of the annihilation of the Quartet Alliance, and the three families sent most of the troops in their hands in that war, and now the remaining troops in the hands of the three families are only about 15,000, I am afraid that even a 10,000-person Guangming Army can not be defeated, obviously the Guangming Army will not let go of such a big piece of fat in Suzhou, and then the three families of Shalu Guo also received the news that the 50,000 Guangming Army went north.

Instead of staying here and waiting for death, it is better to leave Suzhou, Shalu and Guo made the same choice, but Sha Lu and Lu chose to retreat to Linzhou, and Guo chose to retreat to Qinzhou, more precisely, Guo wanted to go to Qinzhou to join Wang Shuo, Guo decided that Wang Shuo had a great chance of unifying the world, Guo now took refuge in Wang Shuo, and in the future, at least he was a minister from the dragon, and he could not get a fief.

With the passage of time, the news of the annihilation of the 300,000-strong army of the Quartet Coalition spread throughout the states of the Great Li Empire, and immediately afterward, the edict of the new emperor was once again sent to the major families.

Today's Yuanzhou Baode Wang can be said to be the first family in the Dali Empire, Wang Shuo, the current head of the Baode Wang family, has become the most powerful candidate to replace the Fang regime, and now Wang Shuo's territory covers Yuanzhou, Qinzhou, and Huizhou, mainly all of Yuanzhou, one-third of Qinzhou, one-fifth of Huizhou (Huizhou Guangming Army has been jointly eliminated by Yuanzhou Army, Huizhou Army, and Hezhou Army), and Wang Shuo is still peeping at Xinzhou, which has been completely controlled by the Guangming Army in addition to Wuwei Pass.

Peeping and peeping, if there is no major change, Wang Shuo will not lead the army to attack Xinzhou, Xinzhou people and Huizhou people are known for their fierce and martial arts, before in the battle of Huizhou to exterminate the Guangming Army, Wang Shuo was deeply impressed, Yuan Zhou Army killed 10,000 Xinzhou Guangming Army, its own losses will be about 10,000, this is still the Yuan Zhou Army in the case of numerical advantage, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Xinzhou Guangming Army is also not weak.

After King Qin's edict was sent to Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo just thought about it briefly and decided to send troops, Xinzhou could not attack for the time being, and it was difficult to continue to occupy more territory from Qinzhou and Huizhou, but he could send troops to Tongzhou and Suzhou to seize the territory of the Guangming Army.

The 50,000 Yuanzhou army was ready to go, and Wang Shuo personally commanded it.

At the same time that Wang Shuo got the news, the Baixia Mengshi, Danqu Li, and Chenggao Hu of Hezhou also got the news, and then received the edict of King Qin.

After the three families of Meng, Li and Hu defeated the Guangming army of Hezhou and Hengzhou, Hezhou and Hengzhou were controlled by the three families, and it did not take long for the alliance of the three families of Meng, Li and Hu to dissolve, and the three families divided the land of Hezhou and Hengzhou into three parts, one for each family, the Hu family occupied most of Hengzhou and a small part of the south of Hezhou, the Li family occupied the remaining part of Hengzhou and a part of the south-central part of Hezhou, and the Meng family occupied the northern part of Hezhou.

After discussion, the three families of Menglihu sat together again because of the edict of King Qin, and after discussion, the three families all thought that they would completely wipe out the Guangming Army, and finally each of the three families sent 15,000 troops, a total of 45,000 people.

The news reached Qinzhou, the two families of Dongfang and Lin reluctantly accepted this fact, the strength of the two families after this battle was greatly damaged, King Qin ordered the two families to find a reason to delay not to send troops, no way, the remaining troops of the two families are only 70,000, if they send troops again, then how to resist the Yuan Zhou army.

In the end, Yun Yi received the news, Yun Yi just read the news and put it aside and no longer bothered, the main task of the Yun clan at present is to recuperate, as long as there is no force to send troops to attack Zezhou, nothing else can stop the Yun clan from recuperating.
