Wancheng, said that the Tang and Tang Dynasty guards Zhang Xun, trapped in this city for more than a year, because a lot of grain and grass were hoarded in the city, Zhang Xun was the top defender of the Eastern Han Dynasty, therefore, Wancheng was never captured by the Xia army head-on.

However, Chutian besieged but did not attack, and when the general trend of the world changed, Wancheng had become an isolated city.

"It seems that I am arrogant, Yizhou and Yangzhou surrendered, only Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are left, how to fight against the northern army?"

It is said that after Tang received Chu Tian's persuasion to surrender and determined that Liu Bei and Tongque, the two largest princes so far, had returned to obedience, he knew that he had lost his identity as a prince.

It is said that Tang only has one Wancheng, and there are no reinforcements outside, so there is no need to defend.

"Lord ......"

Zhang patrolled the city for more than a year, which made Xia Jun afraid of Wancheng, but he didn't expect that it would be like this in the end.

"Zhang Xun, Wei Zheng, open the city gate, this city no longer has to be defended."

Said that Tang was disheartened.

The fortified Wancheng, the city gates were wide open, and it was said that Tang led 100,000 Wancheng defenders to surrender to Wei Wuji, who was in charge of besieging Wancheng.

Even if you have a top guard, you can't sit on Wancheng.

In Xiangyang City, Yang Shilang also received a letter of persuasion.

The people who came to present the letter of persuasion to Yang Shilang were Cai Zhong and Cai He, who worked in the Chutian forces.

Yang Shilang convened the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family and other families in Xiangyang to discuss the surrender, and in the end, the general trend had gone, and he still chose to surrender to the Xia army.

Yang Shilang currently controls Nanjun and Jiangxia County, and it takes a lot of time to negotiate the terms of surrender with the minister of the Xia army.

The Xia army did not rush to march, but patiently recruited these princes and their generals, soldiers and horses.

If a tragic offensive and defensive battle can be avoided, it is naturally best to persuade to surrender, and it will not take too long.

Wu Qi and Zhang Dao were originally preparing ships to cross the Han River, but when they learned that Yang Shilang, the prince of Xiangyang, had decided to surrender to the Xia army, they had no idea of crossing the Han River.

"It's a pity, this is the battle feats of attacking Xiangyang......"

When Zhang Dao heard that Yang Shilang had surrendered, he couldn't help but regret it.

Zhang Dao only participated in the siege of Fancheng, and was trying to besiege Xiangyang with Wu Qi and brush up on his military exploits, but Jingzhou surrendered so easily.

However, Zhang Dao thought about it, and estimated that when Cao Cao led his troops south, everyone in Jingzhou chose to surrender, which was also the same mentality.

The current Chutian is more powerful than Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi began.

So it is not difficult to imagine that when Liu Bei and Tongque surrendered, the princes of Jingzhou surrendered one by one without a fight.

Jiaozhou, Panyu County, Nanhai County, the envoys of the Xia army arrived to persuade the pastor king of Jiaozhou to return to Shun.

Jiaozhou was the southernmost state of the Han Empire.

Wang Defa did not fight with Chutian, and he never determined his position.

Wang Defa's survival concept is also very simple, occupy the Lingnan area, whoever wins will follow whom, he can still be his Jiaozhou pastor, worry-free food and clothing for a lifetime, and be a superior person.

"You go back and tell King Xia that Defa, the shepherd king of Jiaozhou, is willing to submit to the imperial court."

After determining that the unification of the Han Empire was inevitable, Wang Defa quickly made a decision.

Then there was the negotiation between the Jiaozhou families and the imperial court.

The families in Jiaozhou did not have a war with the Chutian forces, so they had relatively large negotiation capital.

The last three princes of the Han Empire submitted to the imperial court.

In addition, when the Tibetan lords learned of the changes in Guannei, they also returned to the imperial court, and Tubo was incorporated into the territory of the Han Empire.

In the cold winter of the lord's sixteen years and the great chaos that lasted for sixteen years, the huge Han Empire was finally unified, and it was necessary to unite after a long time.

For a time, the news of the unification of the Han Empire spread throughout other civilization regions, and some opponents who regarded the Han Empire as enemies were all shaken!

On the Deccan Plateau, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire stepped on the corpse of an Indian Mughal general, and the corpses were everywhere in the valley.

Vultures hovered over the battlefield, and cavalrymen with Mongolian bows swept the battlefield, mending their swords from time to time.

The Mongol coalition captured thousands of war elephants.

Timur wiped the blood stained with his saber with a coarse cloth.

Not long ago, the coalition forces of Ögedei fought with the Indian princely forces on the Deccan Plateau, defeating a million coalition troops, and the Mongol cavalry and Turkic cavalry once again made the Indian princes experience the horror of nomadic cavalry.

A war eagle of Tanmachi landed on the shoulder of Wokotai, and Wokotai pulled out a note, and the message on it was very brief, the Han Empire was unified.

Wokotai's face changed.

Finally, the Han Empire was unified, and the huge war machine began to work!

Timur rarely saw the rising Ögedei with a pale face: "Great Khan, what happened?" ”

Wokotai crumpled the note: "Chu Zimou has unified the Han Empire. ”

Timur thought of Chu Tian, who had robbed Xiao Xuan, and also hated it, and reason finally defeated Timur's hatred: "Please rest assured that the Great Khan has been fighting for many years in the Han Empire, and Chu Zi is trying to unify the Han Empire, so he must have lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and he has not had a few years to recuperate, and he is unable to launch a major campaign." ”

"Chu Zimou's ambition is not small. In order to conquer the Deccan Plateau as soon as possible, restart the city slaughter order, but all the cities that do not take the initiative to surrender, once we break through the city, the city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Ogedai realized that the crisis was coming.

If Chutian squeezes the potential of the Han Empire and runs a war machine, then Wokotai, which is adjacent to the Han Empire, will be Chutian's great enemy.

At the same time, Chutian is also the great enemy of Wokotai.

The two face the fate of being about to face each other again.

And this time, Ogedai thought he wasn't ready.

Chutian needs time to recuperate, and Wokotai is not much different.

"Far east, the Han Empire has gone from chaos to unification, and is reorganizing the counties and restoring order. If the king has the ambition to go east, he must be on guard against the Han Empire. ”

In Alexandria, the Kingdom of Macedonia, the clerk Eumenes reported to Alexander the Great, who was sitting on his throne, the war report from the East.

Since he regarded Chutian as his most formidable opponent, Alexander was always keeping an eye on the progress of the Eastern Empire.

Alexander was about the same age as Chu Tian, and at this time he had become calm, like a sharp blade in his sheath: "Provoke the relationship between Ogedai and the Han Empire, so that they will both lose." Also, come with me to Zurich City, it's time to meet with Hohenzollern of the Holy Roman Empire, Gustav of Sweden, and others. ”

"Yes."

Eumenes immediately went down and began to make arrangements.

Zurich is the main city of the Swiss Confederation and is a neutral city.

The city of Rome, where Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Constantine returned from Egypt, was in the dust.

They immediately traveled from Rome to the city of Zurich.

The teleportation array in the city of Zurich is guarded by a team of Swiss halberders and musketeers.

Emperor Hohenzollern of the Holy Roman Empire and many of the Electors emerged from the teleportation circle, and a group of knights of the Teutonic Order served as their escort.

Gustav, the Norse lion, then emerged from the teleportation array, and the Swedish dragoons provided Gustav's protection.

Louis, Lord of France, appears in the city of Zurich with a group of paladins.

Charles, Lord of England, arrived with a team of English longbowmen.

Isabella, the Spanish lord, arrived with Spanish knights.

For a time, the city of Zurich was turbulent.

"Alexander."

When Alexander and his famous Macedonian companion cavalry arrived, all eyes turned to Alexander and the Byzantine commander Belisarius who served him.

"The Three Emperors of Rome!"

When Caesar, Pompey, and Constantine appeared, they also caused many people to exclaim.

Alexander looked at the three Roman emperors: "I heard that you are conquering Egypt, how is it going?" ”

Caesar replied: "The conquest of Egypt is only a matter of time. ”

"The unification of the Han Empire, you must also know about this matter."

"Yes, that's why we're putting aside the war in Egypt for a while and coming to the city of Zurich to discuss this matter with you."

In the Fifth National War, many Western lords learned that Chu Tian was powerful, and knew that any Western civilization alone could not compete with Chu Tian.

Hohenzollern said: "The operation, called 'Crusader', lasted for ten years. ”
