No one knew that the southern expedition with an army of 2.5 million and a half million, which seemed to be doomed to failure, was actually a battle for national war.

If the human race wins this battle, with both human and barbarian sides, it will have the strength to compete with the demon race.

Similarly, if the barbarians win, and the demon clan takes the opportunity to invade south, it will also be a catastrophe for the human race.

It's just that from the current point of view, neither the barbarian nor the demon clan have taken this southern expedition to heart.

The demon clan is still fighting for power and profit, and the barbarians are also sweeping the snow in front of each door, and even happy to let the human race eliminate the border barbarians, in the eyes of some tribes, the southern expedition of the human race is just a joke, just wait to repel the attack of the human race, and they can take over the territory of the border barbarians and the thirty-five tribes without bloodshed.

The initial invasion was even smoother than expected, and in just a few days, Wang Xu's left army advanced 100,000 miles.

Just like the German army that conquered Poland in 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, the Netherlands in 5 days, Belgium in 18 days, and France in 39 days, they were under the blitzkrieg.

With the rapid advance of the troops, Wang Xu's troops fought more and more, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, one million Yangzhou soldiers from Yangzhou also joined Wang Xu's command.

In addition, there were two million barbarian tribal alliances, and the number of soldiers and horses that Wang Xu could mobilize for a time reached 3.2 million.

At this time, Wang Xu was also on the bank of the Lihe River and met his first opponent, the Lihe tribe among the twenty-four major tribes.

The Lihe tribe is a powerful tribe located in the middle of the 100,000 mountains among the twenty-four barbarian tribes.

When Wang Xu led the army to the bank of the Lihe River, the Lihe tribe was already waiting, in addition to the 550,000 soldiers in the tribe headquarters, there were also 4.5 million troops in the central tribe, and the army led by Wang Xu faced off with an army of 5 million.

In this campaign, Wang Xu wrote the poem "Linjiang Immortal".

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes...

The water of the river flooded, the waves rolled, the heroes wept, and the flood flooded the three armies.

This is Wang Xu's battle of the gods, the military report was sent back to Beijing, and in less than three days, there was a messenger to the south, canonized Wang Xu as the governor of the southern capital, awarded the rank of military attache of the second grade, gave the sword of Shang Fang, gave the third grade, and the title of scholar of the Yingwu Palace.

With them, there are also many Terran scribes, who will receive the chassis that Wang Xu has beaten down, naturalize the barbarians on the spot, and establish a local government.

As long as the situation stabilizes a little, people will be moved from the land of Kyushu, and the barbarian territory will be turned into a human tribal state.

Wang Xu handed over a little and continued to lead the army south.

In the first year, he pacified the periphery of the barbarians, broke into the middle of the barbarians, invented the local method of steelmaking, and improved the quality of weapons and armor.

In the second year, he pacified the central part of the barbarians, led the army into the hinterland of the barbarians, and invented cement production, making civil fortifications and city construction easier.

In the third year, the three armies converged on the topspin, and the troops pointed directly at the entire territory of the barbarians, and penicillin was invented, so that the number of soldiers who died of infection was reduced by ninety to nine.

In the fourth year, the Northland Demon Clan, seeing the bad opportunity, began to move south, pinning down the Terran soldiers and horses, trying to relieve the siege for the barbarians.

In the same year, the commander of the Central Army, Yang Shen, the commander of the military department, attacked the Huangqi tribe, was ambushed by the barbarian temple shaman, died of exhaustion, and the central army retreated three thousand miles.

Wang Xu was ordered to lead the central army as the governor of the southern capital.

For a time, the number of troops was as high as six million, and they continued to attack the Wasteland Tribe.

In the fifth year, in the occupied barbarian territory, some barbarian generals launched a rebellion, and the Jingzhou soldiers retreated to suppress it.

In the same year, Wang Xu composed the poem "Man Jianghong".

Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest.

Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce.

Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.

Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad...

Poetry came out, and then with the suppression of barbarians, the development of new learning, the discovery of new crops of the three major achievements, and countless small achievements, Wang Xu was promoted to a sage, and the portrait was enshrined in the Confucian Temple, becoming a contemporary literary master, the first person to settle in the Confucian Temple.

Soon, Wang Xu was selected by the soldiers again and entered the ancestral hall of the soldiers, known as the resurrection of the soldiers.

In the sixth year, the last tribe of the barbarians was exterminated in Wanzhang Mountain, and the barbarians no longer had the strength to fight.

In the seventh year, the barbarian temple asked for surrender on behalf of the barbarians, only to save the barbarian god sacrifice and allow the barbarians to worship the barbarian god.

The imperial court agreed, but also asked the barbarian temple to worship the sages of Wendao, and determined that Wensheng was the first god of the barbarians, and the barbarian god was a disciple of Wensheng.

The barbarian temple did not obey, and called on the barbarian people to resist bravely and not to compromise with the invaders.

For a time, many of the naturalized tribes in the barbarian territory rose up to resist.

Wang Xu led his troops to suppress it, and on the grounds that the power of heaven was fearless and the ancestors were not enough to law, he strangled countless rebellious barbarian tribes and attacked the barbarian temple again.

In the eighth year, when Wang Xu was thirty-eight years old, he beheaded the last high priest of the barbarians, and in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, the resistance of the barbarians completely failed.

In this battle, Wang Xu killed the barbarian high priest, the barbarian chief priest shaman, and the four major gods of the barbarian gods east, south, west, and north, and the world was shocked in a battle.

The high priest and the chief priest shaman of the barbarians, together with the four great gods, are all masters comparable to the four emperors of Taoism and the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

Wang Xu didn't say anything about one enemy and six people, and killed all six people, and the world was silent for a while.

Affected by this, the imperial court crowned Wang Xu as the Taishi, the title of secretary of the military department, and the title of Wen and duke, which was the same as the prince.

In the tenth year, the territory of the barbarians has gradually stabilized, and some rebellions are harmless, and Wang Xu, who has reached the age of not being confused, began to return to the dynasty.

This year, Wang Xu was forty years old, and he was recognized as the number one master of the human race, and it was even rumored that Wang Xu was also the number one master in the world.

After five years of practicing with the people, Wang Xu asked the court for orders to attack the demon clan.

The Son of Heaven, who was already in his prime, refused on the grounds that he had been fighting for years and the people's desire for stability.

In fact, it was Wang Xu's prestige in the army that was too high, the Son of Heaven was no longer sealable, and the Son of Heaven was in his twilight years, so he was really worried that after his death, Wang Xu had no one to control.

Three months after the letter was written, Xue Mushan, a teacher who had already returned to his hometown, and the former cabinet elected assistant Xue Mushan came to pay a visit.

During the secret conversation, Xue Mushan vaguely proposed that he hoped that Wang Xu would hand over the military power, and that he would focus on writing a book and writing a biography behind closed doors.

Wang Xu directly refused, if he said that he was barbaric, it represented his path to sagehood.

Ping Demon represents his holy position, if he can't pacify the demon clan, his greatest achievement is just to become a pseudo-saint like Mencius.

This matter is related to the Tao, not to mention the teacher, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, there is no need to talk about it.

Soon, Wang Xu and the teacher broke up unhappily, and after returning home, Xue Mushan coughed up blood every day, and within a few days, there were rumors that Wang Xu disobeyed the teacher and did not respect the sages.

Wang Xu was silent when he heard this, he knew that the teacher was loyal to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect the teacher to be able to do this, in order to avoid him from falling off, he wanted to destroy his good name and cut off his future.

Five days later, Xue Mushan died of a violent illness, and there is a record in the imperial history that during his reign, he had too much personal friendship with the six princes, and his intentions were ill.

Three days later, the imperial court ordered the raid of Xue's mansion, copied out 80 million taels of silver, and more than a dozen letters with the six princes, many of which supported the six princes as emperors and attempted to seek a change of dynasty.

When today's son was furious, he issued an order to deprive Xue Mushan of his nickname, and all the children of the Xue family were demoted to commoners.

Wang Xu was noncommittal, he knew that this was the emperor's explanation to him, trying to turn the big things into small things and small things.

It's just about the expedition to the north, but the emperor didn't talk about it, just a small reward in three days, a big reward in five days, and constantly gracious to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu saw it in his eyes and was cold in his heart, he wanted to lead the army to the north, but the emperor didn't want him to go on the expedition, which was an irresolvable contradiction.

Half a month later, the Son of Heaven was caught in a cold, fell unconscious for three days, and died in his sleep on the fourth day.

In the edict, it is said that the eighth prince of Xuan will inherit the unification, and the civil and military will be supplemented.

After three months of preparation, the Eighth Prince succeeded to the throne and changed the year name to Datong, implying that the world is in harmony and the four seas return to the heart.

In the same year, the new emperor appointed Wang Xu as the emperor's teacher, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the whole army conquered the north and pacified the demon clan.

This year, Wang Xu was forty-five years old, and to this day, there is no one in the world to control it.
