Chapter 922: The Great War Dawns

Obviously, Wang Can and Pei Du saw this and denied it.

Yuen Long was just angry for a while, so how could he not know that this was not good for the overall situation? It's just that he just can't get angry. "Alas, those who can't move, can't just keep stalemate, if that's the case, wouldn't it give the Celestial Empire a chance to breathe, once we wait for the war in the north, then we are afraid that there will be no such a good opportunity."

This truth is naturally understood by everyone, Wang Can is very clear, now for the entire Western Regions, it is an opportunity for a big counterattack, if you don't seize it now, I'm afraid there will be no opportunity to seize it in the future, thinking about it like this, he said: "It's okay, as long as you do more work to do the work of other lords, things will still be slowed down, so let's start tomorrow, we will contact other lords separately, and persuade them one by one, it's a big deal to promise some benefits, I don't believe it, Are you willing to look at the tiger of the Celestial Empire? ”

Differentiation to solve the problem, this is the method that Wang Can thought of. Even if it doesn't make sense to talk about it together, then explain it one by one, say it one by one, and in this way, it is only a matter of time before people are reunited again. Sima Yi has left, and now that no one is shaking their military spirit, the problem will be solved sooner or later.

Next, the three of them discussed for a long time in the big tent, which was nothing more than how to move other small countries, what kind of reasons to use, and what kind of interests to attract.

In the final analysis, the reason why wars occur between countries is because of their own interests. When the interests are large enough and cannot be resolved by peace talks, it is the time for the machine of war to show its might.

Wang Can and the three of them began to look for the lords of various countries to persuade them from the next morning. Those wavering first talks have left some objects with tough attitudes to make the final phase change.

Many people are paying attention to these moves, among which Tang Jin, the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom, is the most concerned.

I don't care if it's okay, he danced too happily before, but this is also a helpless thing, if he doesn't jump out, then no one will say anything. And he also knows that his actions are a little too active, which will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

Now, Wang Can and the way they talked separately, he knew that things were going bad, and he also knew that the situation would eventually develop in a direction that was unfavorable to him, but what he could do at this moment was indeed very limited, but now he could only pray for the Celestial Empire army to return as soon as possible, so he might still have a glimmer of life.

Wang Can and their actions were very fast, and they may have taken heavy profits under the conversation, what to give material help to the Cheshi Congress, what will be peaceful in the Western Regions after taking the three legions of the Celestial Empire, and everyone will take the opportunity to develop and grow peacefully, etc.

Anyway, all kinds of promises seem to have become worthless at this time, and what they do is for one purpose, that is, to let everyone work together to send troops together to solve the millions of troops in the Celestial Empire in the country of Cheshi.

In just five days, all the small countries were talked to over and over again, even even Tang Jin, the head of Xiaowan Kingdom, who was most opposed to the war at the beginning, talked with Wang Can for more than an hour, and finally he had no choice but to express his support for the war.

If you don't support it, you can't do it, at this time, everyone agreed, if he continues to insist on not going to war, then he will become everyone's enemy, if that's the case, maybe before the war against the Celestial Empire, he will destroy his Xiaowan Kingdom first.

After five days, the reunification was reached, and on the sixth day a general meeting was convened, and it was agreed that the army would attack in two days. In this way, Sima Yi's appearance only bought seven days.

For such a big war with millions of troops at every turn, seven days of preparation time is really nothing, but these seven days are indeed seven life-saving days for the Celestial Empire, because Zhang Chao, the First Emperor of Heaven, has already left Luoyang and approached the realm of Xiliang.

Fortunately, most of the cavalry that Zhang Chao brought this time was cavalry, so that he could achieve the ability to march quickly; Fortunately, the roads in the Celestial Empire have been repaired, and the speed of the army's advance has been improved under the smooth flow of roads.

When Zhang Chao led the army to the Xiliang Road, 100,000 southern barbarian troops arrived here first. In the end, Meng Shu still listened to the words of his wife Zhu Rong and decided to support Zhang Chao in the first battle. In any case, this is also their chance to perform, although after this battle, their strength may be hit hard, but in comparison, it is much better than turning back to meet the sharp sword of the Celestial Empire.

And at this moment, in the foreign division of the Cheshi, after the time of the seventh day, the great war has begun. A full twenty-eight countries in the Western Regions began to approach in the direction of the Cheshi Kingdom from four directions, and whenever they encountered the Celestial Empire army with a slight resistance on the way, it would be suppressed with bloody momentum.

The Western Regions Alliance was powerful and attacked with more than three times the number of troops. At this moment, others are afraid that they will already become frightened birds, and what they think about may be the back road and the escape route, but the same thing is in Zhang Tian's eyes, and he ensures that he has enough composure.

The six legions were divided into four peripheries, using the limited space as much as possible to gain more time, and the first corps was in the center, guarding near Jiaohe City for the last defense; The Dragoon Legion is always ready to support the Six Legions, where it is not possible to defend it.

Zhang Tian, who had been prepared for a long time, faced the crisis and issued out one after another orders that had been prepared long ago. The next thing he could do was wait, waiting for the enemy army to approach step by step, waiting for his own reinforcements to arrive one day sooner, and no matter what it was, it was not something he could say now.

Zhang Tian also knew that this matter was definitely a test for himself, and if he did it well, he would have the conditions and credit to take over Zhang Chao's throne smoothly, otherwise, if he didn't do it well, he would have to put his life on the line. It's just that no matter what, he now has no conditions for choice, although he can fight his way out of the way and escape from here under the protection of everyone, but if he really does this, then his life is over, and the Celestial Empire will definitely not use a person who has no courage to inherit the throne.

It's just that although Zhang Tian has long been mentally prepared, and even has already made arrangements militarily, but when facing the crazy Western Regions Alliance Army, the lack of troops still makes them a little stretched, and in just half a month, the outer land of the Cheshi Kingdom is almost lost, and the Sixth Army, which originally had 500,000 troops, also retreated to Jiaohe City after losing 400,000 soldiers and horses.

In just half a month, he lost 400,000 troops, which had not happened since the establishment of the Celestial Empire, and Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Legion, was even more irritable. Many of the 400,000 troops sacrificed were veterans who had followed him for many years, and it can be said that after this battle, the Sixth Army wanted to re-establish itself, and I am afraid that it would take at least two to three years to do so, so that it could regain its previous combat effectiveness.

The Sixth Legion was defeated and retreated to the city, and the Dragoons also did not take advantage of it, and after Ma Chao was no longer in the army of only 400,000 people, there were only 200,000 soldiers left. In other words, the Celestial Empire lost 600,000 troops in half a month, and on average, it lost more than 40,000 soldiers in one day.

The situation has become very critical, but Zhang Tian, who is in Jiaohe City, is not so optimistic, although he lost nearly half of the time in half a month, but at the same time he also inflicted heavy losses on the Western Regions Alliance. They lost 600,000 people, and I am afraid that the losses of the Western Regions Alliance are at least one million.

After all, compared to the combat power, few people will be the opponent of the Celestial Empire's army, they have come out of the Xian Li after battle, compared to those soldiers in the Western Regions who have been pampered, the combat power is naturally much stronger. In addition, the coalition army is a coalition army after all, and it cannot be unified from top to bottom, so there will naturally be loopholes, which gives the Celestial Empire army a chance.

Therefore, on the surface, after half a month, the army of the Celestial Empire seems to be at a disadvantage, at least from the perspective of territory, they have been compressed to Jiaohe City, but in fact, different voices have begun to appear within the Western Regions Alliance.

If the loss of a million troops in half a month is counted on the heads of 28 countries, that country is also sharing the losses of nearly 40,000 soldiers killed in battle, and these losses may not be anything for a big country, but for some small countries with only 100,000 or even 50,000 troops, it has already been broken.

This is only the periphery of Jiaohe City, and it has not entered the city. As far as they know, there are still more than one million Celestial Empire troops there, so what will inevitably be a bloody battle next, how will this battle be fought?

The cruelty and dedication of the war made many small countries retreat, and the Western Regions Alliance did not seem so united.

At this time, at the Yumen Pass, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao, had rushed here with 30,000 Zhangjia light cavalry and joined the 100,000 southern barbarian army.

The leader of the 100,000 Southern Barbarian Army was the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu, who was originally not going to come in person even if he promised to send troops, but Zhu Rong persuaded him that he had such a good opportunity to contact the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, how could he waste it like this?

The Celestial Empire is Zhang Chao's Celestial Empire, if you can have the opportunity to get close to such a person, then I don't know how many people dream of it, even if it is for the future of the Southern Barbarian Army, Meng Shu should take the initiative to stand up at this time.

Meng Shu was indeed moved, but he was worried about his pregnant wife, so Zhu Rong simply followed the army to the front of Yumen Pass. Therefore, when Zhang Chao arrived, what he saw was Meng Shu with a big beard and Zhu Rong, who was beautiful and lovely, but his lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

"Nanban Meng Shu (Zhu Rong) has seen the emperor of the Celestial Empire." As soon as they saw Zhang Chao wearing a white cloak, the husband and wife bent down and wanted to kneel down and salute.
