Yang Xian stood on the broad city wall of Cangqiu City, overlooking the Guanzhong Plain.

The wind is gentle and smooth, and the green fields are shady.

It's a good year, but there's no patches of gold in the distant wilderness. Because of the war, the fields were deserted. It was the time when the farmers were most densely frequented, but now there are few figures.

Kuragaoka is a large city and a city for military purposes. Since Huan Wu's national policy of defence, the Liang army built five large turrets on each side of the walls of this Cangqiu, each of which could place four ballistas.

On these ballistas, there is a magic circle engraved by the Liang Jun refiner, with an attack range of up to 400 zhang, and it has a strong lethality.

Even though most of the Liang army were recruits, relying on the defense of this city, they could also inflict considerable damage on the Zhou army. If it is attacked, even if the Zhou army can be captured, it will also suffer heavy losses.

But now, because of the help of the person behind Yang Xian, after the Zhou army attacked the city in a few days, it had been captured.

And Liang Jun's loss of Cangqiu City is not just as simple as losing a city.

Within two days under Cangqiu City, the sixteen cities of Meiguo County opened their gates, the twenty-one cities of Zhongdi County all surrendered, and the eight cities in the west of Fufeng County sent a table of surrender.

The cascading effect brought about by the loss of Cangqiu City made half of Yongzhou fall into the hands of the Zhou army.

And now, only Xu Jin's army of 100,000 and a depleted pickaxe were left in front of the Zhou army.

"Zong Shi thought about the Great Zhou Sheji, and was willing to draw a clear line with Huan Rebellion, and the Son of Heaven was very pleased. The Son of Heaven has decreed that Zongshi will be the Marquis of Guiyi. ”

"Thank you, Son of Heaven, thank you Prime Minister."

Meng Qing's dedication was of great significance to Zhou Jun. It can be said that he not only opened the line of defense for the Zhou army, but also set an example for the world.

No matter from any point of view, the Great Zhou court needs to treat this surrendered marquis well.

Cangqiu City was suddenly opened, and tens of thousands of Liang troops became prisoners of the Zhou army, losing the will and ability to resist.

Among them, except for the 30,000 Southern Army, these loyal to the Huan clan, the rest are mostly recruits from Yongzhou. The best way to deal with this force is to bring it into the Zhou army.

The Changce Army expanded to 100,000, the Zhichong Army to 100,000, the Black Fly Army to 50,000, the Eagle Yang Army to 10,000, plus the tens of thousands of infantry troops that originally belonged to the Liangzhou Army.

Of course, behind the large-scale expansion of the army, it will definitely make the combat power of the Zhou army enter a downward trajectory for a period of time in the future, and it will take several years to digest.

"Zongshi, what do you think about the future war?"

"Prime Minister, I think that the battle of Yongzhou has come to an end. As long as Xu Jin's 100,000 troops are solved, then our army can drive straight into the army and surround Haojing. The minister thought that before that, he could send a strong force to seize the peach forest and block the passage of the god capital into Yongzhou. In this way, Hokyo has truly become a lonely city. ”

The business customs have been lowered, and now the 10,000 northern troops in the Shendu are left to support Yongzhou, except for the 10,000 Shangxi cavalry concentrated by the Tun army and the 20,000 righteous soldiers in the state. The upper rhino cavalry was first built, and the combat power was not completed, and Qin Feng's 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry was in Fufeng County again, and the upper rhino cavalry was no different from the cannon fodder.

As for the righteous soldiers, as long as Tang Dafu led the naval army to block the banks of the big river, he could confine it to Hedong County and could not enter the battlefield of Hojing.

Then all that is left is the reinforcements in the god capital, and as long as the peach forest is choked, this god capital enters the key place of Yongzhou, then Hojing will become a lonely city.

"Just a few hours ago, Chun Ye and Tang Dafu had already set off."

"The prime minister is taking precautions and admiring below."

Meng Qing said very humbly, this Zhongdi county guard who was born in the Chang clan and was succeeded to the Meng clan by Chang Yu, although he cannot be said to be a high and powerful position in the Liang army, he can also be said to be young and promising.

But obviously, Meng Qing wanted much more than that. Although he was born in the Chang family, his surname is Meng after all, and no matter what, he can't control the behemoth of the Chang family.

And although Huan Qi treated him very politely, he was secretly very alienated from him. Meng Qing made up his mind to rebel because the Zhou army captured Shangguan, and the Yingyang army went north.

Meng Qing knew very well that Cangqiu City was important to the two armies of Zhou and Liang, and he also saw Huan Qi's cowardice and the calculation behind it. If this situation continues, Cangqiu City will be lost sooner or later.

Rather than the city being ruined and clothed in shackles, it is better to surrender early at this moment. Huan Qi wanted to use the 300,000 Liang troops in Yongzhou to consume the elite of the Zhou army, which did not benefit Meng Qing at all.

On the contrary, if this Cangqiu City and the hundreds of thousands of Liang troops in this city are offered, Meng Qing will get a lot.

At least, only the Zhou Chamber still exists, so Meng Qing, a loyal minister who has made great contributions to the Great Zhou, will definitely have wealth and wealth for life. Even, even if Meng Qing did nothing in the rest of his life and was bent on having children, then the Meng family could also be revived in his hands.

It's just that Meng Qing wants more than that.

"Soseki thinks that Hokyo can be captured?"

If you want to capture Hojing, then Chang Yu is one of the most important chess pieces.

"Uncle is not a man who does not know the times. The passage ahead is opened, and the minister is willing to go to Hokyo in person to convince his uncle. ”

Yang Xian was a little surprised, turned his head, and looked at Meng Qing.

"Zong Shi can know that this trip is extremely dangerous."

For Meng Qing, taking a Cangqiu is not enough for him. If Ho Jing can be completely handed over to Yang Xian, then his weight in the Zhou court will not be easily erased from now on.

However, in the eyes of the world, Meng Qingnai was a traitor, a traitor who betrayed the Chang family. Not to mention whether Chang Yu will see Meng Qing again, will he correct this 'nephew' on the spot, just because there are thousands of Chang clan people who are still in the Divine Capital at this moment, it is impossible for Chang Yu to agree to surrender.

Neither Yang Xian nor Meng Qing cared about Xu Jin and the 100,000 army he led.

Cangqiu had fallen, and Xu Jin's 100,000 troops were cut and scattered on the vast Guanzhong Plain by Qin Feng's 10,000 iron cavalry. The Zhou army is heading eastward, and in a few days, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

Meng Qing had already obtained the throne, so there was no need to take such a risk. However, Meng Qing's courage was obviously something that Yang Xian had not expected.

"Huan Qi is not benevolent, and he wants to save the lives of these 300,000 Liang soldiers to protect his Liang Jiangshan, how can it be done by the human master? The world should choose the master, if the pickaxe capital is obtained by our army, then the Great Zhou Sheji will be able to recover, and the ministers should work hard. ”

A crippled pickaxe and a complete pickaxe are completely two effects in the hands of Zhou Jun.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still in Beijing, which has considerable significance for the whole world.

"In this way, there will be Lao Zongshi."
