With the surrender of the Great Zhou, the so-called Four-Power Alliance has existed in name only.

While rushing to Handan City, Ouyang Shuo sent an order to Honglu Temple to send envoys to the Qin, Tang and Song Kingdoms again, asking the Three Kingdoms to seriously consider the matter of annexing Great Xia.

"The unification of China in Great Xia is unstoppable, and it cannot be reversed by manpower, I don't want to increase the killing, and I don't want the Chinese people to face war and man-made disasters after fighting against natural disasters. The kings of Qin (Tang and Song) will be attached to each other as they wish, and I will treat them with the courtesy of princely courtesy, and I hope to give a reply after careful consideration. Ouyang Shuo explained.

On 1 June, when Ouyang Shuo returned to Beijing, the envoys also returned.

By 5 June, a week had passed since the envoy, and the three countries still had no reply. Ouyang Shuo realized that the Three Kingdoms did not shed tears when they saw the coffin, and they were ready to carry a wave of death.

The emperor's attachment to power is far deeper than Ouyang Shuo imagined, and he would rather die than give in. That being the case, then the only way to see the truth is on the battlefield.

…………

On June 10, after a short rest, the Hedong Army returned to Hedong Province, where it was stationed, and together with the Yingyang Army, carried out an east-west attack on the Great Qin Dynasty.

Han Xin still commanded the Leopard Tao army and monitored the Tang Dynasty.

To be on the safe side, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Red Eagle to lead the second legion of the Tiger Ben Army to advance westward from Ludong Province and enter the Central Plains Province to assist the Leopard Tao Army and form a deterrent to the Tang Dynasty.

Needless to say, Ouyang Shuo's chosen target was Da Song.

In order to reduce casualties, persimmon is of course a soft pinch, among the Three Kingdoms, don't look at the Great Song Dynasty has the largest territory, in terms of comprehensive national strength, it is the weakest one among the Three Kingdoms.

When Chun Shenjun withdrew from Jingchu Province, he brought half of the essence of the province to Ludong Province, leaving only half an empty shell.

At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty received Ludong Province for only half a year, during which it also encountered rare natural disasters, suffered heavy losses, and the foundation was not solid. Unlike the Qin and Tang dynasties, although they only occupy half of the provinces, they have been deeply cultivated for two or three years.

Second, compared with the Qin and Tang dynasties, the Great Song Dynasty lacked both famous generals and soldiers.

Daqin has Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son, and the Tang Dynasty is even more amazing, even if there is no military god Li Jing, there are also generals such as Li Tao, Hou Junji, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin.

In contrast, the general who can handle the Great Song Dynasty may be the emperor Zhao Kuangyin.

In order to defeat the Great Song Dynasty, Great Xia prepared to dispatch the first, second, and third corps of the Yulin Army, the first, second, third, and fourth corps of the Xiangjiang Army, and the first, third, and fourth corps of the Tiger Army.

A total of ten legions, 700,000 troops.

Throughout mid-June, Great Xia was making final preparations for the Battle of Annihilation, as well as the possible outbreak of the Qin and Tang Wars, and by June 25, the legions were already in place one by one.

Food and materials have also been transferred in place, and the war is about to break out!

…………

On June 26, Xu Da commanded three corps of the Yulin Army to attack Jingchu Province from the border of Southern Hunan Province. At the same time, Zhang Xutuo commanded the Xiangjiang Army, which advanced from Jiangchuan Province to Jingchu Province.

The Tiger Ben army commanded by Sun Bin was killed from the border of southern Anhui Province.

The three-way army completely blocked the south and east of the Great Song Dynasty, preparing to advance steadily from the south and north, from east to west, and adopted a strategy of encroachment to force the Great Song Dynasty to surrender.

Ouyang Shuo has patience.

At the same time, Emperor Chen and Chun Shenjun, including the [Emperor Feng], who was undergoing reorganization, exerted their respective influence in Jingchu Province to instigate and create opportunities for the army.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was unwilling to be killed, dispatched 500,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty to intercept them along the way.

Depending on the situation, even if this is not a close battle, it is also a protracted war, and even if Great Xia has the advantage of troops, it will not be able to easily conquer Jingchu Province.

If the war drags on, it will be a lose-lose situation.

At this time, Li Jing, who had been leading his troops to attack Tubo, finally found out that the ghost hidden behind the Tubo Dynasty was the Ashoka Dynasty in Tianzhu District, which lived next to Tubo.

When it came to the Ashoka Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo had a headache.

The number of players in Tianzhu District is the same as that of Huaxia District, but there is only one royal city, not nine royal cities like Huaxia District. Such a setting has created a freak dynasty.

What is the concept of five million forbidden troops concentrated in one city?

Even in the seventh year of Gaia, the number of Ashoka's forbidden armies was still 4.5 million.

Therefore, as early as last year, Ouyang Shuo realized that the biggest obstacle to Daxia's victory over Tianzhu in the future was not in the Mauryan Dynasty or the Gupta Dynasty, but in the Ashoka Dynasty, which had always been inconspicuous.

After several years of expansion, the Ashoka Dynasty took the royal city of Delhi as the core, and expanded strongly into the surrounding areas, and today, it has occupied more than one-third of the territory of Tianzhu District.

It is not only a future trouble for Great Xia, but also a big trouble for the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty.

According to the information obtained by the Black Snake Guard, after the destruction of all the large territories, the Mauryan Empire and the Gupta Dynasty had a tendency to join forces, with the purpose of dealing with their common enemy, the Ashoka Dynasty.

With the Ashoka Dynasty in one day, the two dynasties don't want to get the right to speak in Tianzhu District.

I never thought that Ashoka's ambition was so big, and when the country dealt with the Mauryan Empire and the Gupta Dynasty joining forces, he could still spare energy and extend his tentacles into the Huaxia region.

This is something that Ouyang Shuo will never tolerate.

After reading the battle report presented by Li Jing, Ouyang Shuo was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "Ashoka, since you have joined in, don't think about retreating again, do you really think that with an army of four or five million, you can be unscrupulous?" ”

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order the front line, at all costs, be sure to end the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty within half a month."

"No!"

The Ashoka Dynasty's involvement in the war in Tibet made Ouyang Shuo realize that he must quickly end the war of the Three Kingdoms, even if he paid some casualties.

Only in this way can the army be reorganized and fully prepared to deal with the threat of the Ashoka Dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo was really unsure whether the Ashoka Dynasty would take advantage of the quagmire of war in Great Xia to continuously increase its troops in Tibet, posing a direct threat to the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing and even to the western border of the imperial dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo can't take this risk.

"Spread Honglu Temple Qing Zhang Yi!" Ouyang Shuo followed and ordered.

"Yes!"

Leaned slightly, Zhang Yi hurried over.

The previous Honglu Temple sent an envoy delegation to the Three Kingdoms, all of which returned in vain, which made Zhang Yi very ashamed, and as soon as he saw him, he asked His Majesty for his guilt, "Honglu Temple is not doing well, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, not wanting to pursue the matter, just staring at Zhang Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Send another envoy to Xiangyang and tell Zhao Kuangyin that the Great Song Dynasty will take the initiative to surrender within ten days; Otherwise, once we conquer Xiangyang, I will destroy the Zhao Manchu clan! ”

"No!"

Zhang Yi's heart trembled, and his back was wet, he had never seen His Majesty so angry.
