Why is it that in the previous more than 100 years, the Great Yue Empire's conquest of Chu and An has always wanted to take Chu and An in the shortest possible time, but this time, the Great Yue Empire's conquest of Chu and An was an unhurried siege, and only wanted to capture Chu and An with minimal losses?

This is actually related to the surrounding environment of the Great Viet Empire.

There were many neighboring countries of the Great Yue Empire, such as the Great Li Empire (now the Great Qin Empire), the Tang Empire, the Shengwu Dynasty, the Northern Hundred Kingdoms, the Chu State, and the An State.

If the Great Yue Empire wants to mobilize a large army to conquer Chu and An, it needs to be wary of other neighboring countries taking advantage of the lack of domestic forces in the Great Yue Empire to invade the Great Yue Empire.

The Northern Hundred Kingdoms, an alliance composed of many counties and counties, the Northern Alliance can jointly resist foreign enemies, but basically will not unite to fight foreign wars, so the Great Yue Empire does not need to put too many troops on the eastern border.

In addition to the Northern Alliance, the Dali Empire (or the Great Qin Empire), the Tang Empire, and the Shengwu Dynasty, three countries that are not weaker than the Dayue Empire, all need the attention of the Dayue Empire, and the Dayue Empire must put enough troops on these three sides to prevent these three countries from taking the opportunity to invade the Dayue Empire.

However, now, the emperors and families within the Tang Empire are fighting endlessly, the Great Qin Empire has too few troops, and although the Shengwu Dynasty itself is strong, it is in the center of the land of Shenzhou, surrounded by the Great Yue Empire, the Great Tang Empire, the Great Liang Empire, the Great Luo Empire, the Great Zhao Empire, and the Northern Alliance, and they dare not move troops easily.

In this case, the Dayue Empire could dispatch a large number of troops to conquer Chu and An for a long time, making such a situation appear on the battlefield of Chu.

The sky of Chu is covered with war clouds, and the sky in the northeast of the Great Liang Empire is also full of war clouds.

Before the New Year of the tenth year of the Qin calendar, Yuan Chang, the leader of the Guangming Sect, waved hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied all the major cities in Bincai Erzhou in the northeast of the Great Liang Empire.

Among Yuan Chang's hundreds of thousands of bright troops, there are 200,000 fully equipped elite troops, and the rest are militia units that are only equipped with ordinary weapons, and Yuan Chang hides most of the elite troops to hide their strength.

Yuan Chang's move also made the Great Liang Empire, the Great Luo Empire, and the Great Ji Empire understand the strength of the Bright Sect, and the high-level leaders of the Three Kingdoms were extremely surprised.

The Daluo Empire and the Daji Empire are better, after all, the Illuminati Sect is in the territory of the Daliang Empire, not in the Daluo Empire or the Daji Empire, the high-level leaders of the two countries sit and watch the jokes of the Great Liang Empire, even if the Great Liang Empire encircles and exterminates the Illuminati, its own losses will not be small, if the Great Liang Empire cannot encircle and suppress the Illuminati, it is a joke, as for the Great Liang Empire being defeated by the Illuminati, this is impossible in the eyes of the high-level of the two countries, no matter how bad the Great Liang Empire is, the Illuminati Sect will not be able to defeat it.

However, the high-level leaders of the Daluo Empire and the Daji Empire are also vigilant in their hearts, and it will not be good for the armies of the two countries to gather in the border area to prevent the Illuminati from advancing into the two countries, or involving the two countries.

Compared with the high-level of the Daluo Empire and the Daji Empire sitting and watching the play, the high-level of the Daliang Empire was angry, especially Duan Hong, the emperor of the Dali Empire, Duan Hong was about to hate the families led by Zhang, Zheng, Yu, Kong, and Yan in the Daliang Empire, if it weren't for these families, Duan Hong would have handled the affairs of Binzhou and Caizhou a long time ago, and it would not have allowed the Guangming Sect to control Binzhou and Caizhou, and a powerful army would have developed in a few years.

The families led by Zhang, Zheng, Yu, Kong, and Yan were also very angry with the Bright Sect, but no matter how they fought with Duan Hong for power and profit before, in the face of the Bright Sect, the interests of both sides were the same, and the Bright Sect must be eliminated, and the Bright Sect cannot be allowed to grow stronger and stronger.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the tenth year of the Qin calendar, the 500,000 troops of the Great Liang Empire were in Bincai Erzhou, and their goal was the Guangming Sect entrenched in Bincai Erzhou.

The commander of the 500,000 army was Cheng Hui, the son of Cheng Shou, a veteran of the Great Liang Empire.

The intelligence of the Bright Sect collected from the Great Liang Empire shows that in the territory of Bincai Erzhou, the army of the Bright Sect will not exceed 400,000 at most, although they have good discipline and are equipped with weapons, but they wear a variety of clothes and few armor, such an army can only be regarded as an ordinary army, and it cannot confront the regular army of the Great Liang Empire at all.

The 500,000 troops commanded by Cheng Hui, of which 300,000 are recruited recruits, or the militia is transformed into a regular army, and its combat effectiveness is only a little worse than that of the army composed of 200,000 veterans, but in Cheng Hui's view, even the army composed of these 300,000 recruits is stronger than the Guangming Army, after all, the Guangming Army is also a newly formed army.

In fact, the strength shown by the Bright Sect is average, what the high-level leaders of the three kingdoms of Liang, Ji, and Luo are really afraid of is the development speed of the Bright Sect, it only took a few years to control the Bincai Erzhou, and also formed an army of hundreds of thousands of people, if the Bright Sect is given some more time, the Bright Church will become stronger.

Cheng Hui believed that the 500,000 army he led was much stronger than the Bright Sect, and in the face of absolute strength, he didn't need any strategy, just crush the Bright Sect directly, and the 500,000 Liang army drove directly into Binzhou.

Yuan Chang frowned after learning that the 500,000 Liang army swaggered into Binzhou, the strength of the 500,000 Liang army was not too strong, if the Guangming Army was all dispatched, it would be able to defeat the 500,000 Liang army, defeating the Liang army was not the key, the key was that the loss of the Guangming army itself should be as small as possible.

Yuan Chang knew that the Bright Sect was facing a powerful country, even if the Bright Sect defeated the 500,000 Liang army, the Great Liang Empire would send more troops to come, once the Bright Army suffered heavy losses this time, it was obviously impossible for the Bright Sect to survive and develop under the continuous conquest of the Great Liang Empire, and in the end, the Bright Sect would only be defeated by the Great Liang Empire.

After Yuan Chang summoned the elders of the Bright Sect to discuss it carefully, he decided on a strategy to show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy deeper, and after the enemy did not take the Bright Sect in his eyes, he would gather the Bright Army to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

After Yuan Chang's order was issued, wherever the Liang army passed, the Guangming army fled in despair, the Liang army easily occupied the cities in Binzhou, and the Liang army generals easily reaped a lot of military exploits.

Good news such as "three cities in one day", "ten cities in three days", and "beheading more than 10,000" were transmitted back to the imperial capital of the Great Liang Empire one by one, and the entire Great Liang Empire rejoiced because of the good news of the army in front.

A month later, Cheng Hui led the Liang army to easily occupy Binzhou City.

Cheng Hui didn't care about the easy occupation of Binzhou City, thinking that this was a normal thing, and it was Guangming who knew that he was weak and could not resist the 500,000 army led by him, so he took the initiative to abandon Binzhou City.
