Chapter 369: Bad News
It was already autumn when Qi Huan and Jin Ling returned to Linzi.
The situation in the east is far worse than they thought.
On the way back quickly, they kept receiving urging letters from Bingfeng.
Just over ten days.
Dongyi's provocation against Bactria also changed from scattered fishermen's looting to large-scale warship attacks.
On the night that Jin Ling and Qi Huan arrived in Linzi, they received the latest battle situation, and the Dongyi people landed at the same time along the long coastline of hundreds of miles from north to south.
The easternmost side of Bactria was originally the domain of the states of Chen and Zheng.
After the restoration of Bactria to the Republic of China, the easternmost coastal part was divided into three counties, from north to south, they were Rudong County, Ruhai County, and Runan County.
The three counties were occupied by the Dongyi people overnight, and they did all kinds of evil acts of burning, killing and looting.
Xia Chengyou urgently ordered Liang Wang Guangzhen to lead his troops to resist.
The battle line was too long, and Guangzhen had to break up the army and divide it into three routes.
In the middle, Guangzhen personally led the way, the right side was led by Shizi Guangyu, and the left side was led by Yongxin Hou Su Yue.
Day and night, the three-way army soon arrived at the fallen three counties.
Before the Liang State, there were only 200,000 horses, and the 200,000 horses in Wu Land totaled only 400,000 horses.
The soldiers are divided into three meters, and only the army in the middle lane is 200,000.
According to the previous county, Chenghui Dongyi people were overwhelming, and I don't know how many people came.
That is to say, after the start of the war, the county soldiers were vulnerable, and they were soon defeated and retreated.
As a precaution, Xia Chengyou sent a decree to let Qi Huan order 300,000 troops and divide them into a three-way army as a backup for King Liang's three-way army. At the same time, let Qi Huan train the navy well, prepare for the attack, and attack Dongyi in one fell swoop.
At night, Qi Huan sat in the Qinzheng Palace, facing the Great Xia map in the hall.
The map is detailed, but only in the case of Bactria and the Turks. Even Dongyi is not marked.
"No one has ever been to Dongyi!"
Facing Jin Ling's inquiry, Qi Huan sighed, "My Great Xia and Dongyi are separated by the vast sea, and the past is not realistic. ”
"That is to say, we Bactria people have always lived in Bactria all along. You've never traveled far, have you? ”
"Far away?" Qi Huan glanced at Jin Ling, "You mean the distance beyond Great Xia?" ”
"That's right! You don't mean that everyone outside the world has a heaven? That is naturally a foreign country. Our earth is round, there are too many countries. Not to mention anything else, there are many races alone, we are yellows, and there are whites, blacks......."
Qi Huan squinted: "This is also what the goddess told you?" ”
"Hmm!" Jin Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to the west of the map, "Over these big mountain ranges, there are still many kingdoms over there!" But I don't know where we are now, and the people out there are not necessarily better than us, maybe it's still a slave society. ”
"Slave society?" Qi Huan was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, the whole society is divided into two classes: slaves and slave owners. There is no difference between a slave being neglected by a slave owner and a brute. In short, it is a very barbaric and cruel society. ”
"That's better for us to do the Great Summer." Qi Huan looked serious, "When Dongyi is defeated, drive them all back, and send troops to defend them." ”
"Look at what you said, the Dongyi people can occupy our three counties so quickly, and they must have made long-term preparations. You also said that the Dongyi people are powerful, and our soldiers and generals are all plowing the fields on weekdays, and there are not many who have really fought on the battlefield. Wu Di's soldiers had fought a few times before, but Liang Di's had never fought once. The soldiers of the Taiping era looked good-looking, but when it really fought, it was hard to say who would win. ”
"It's just a barbarian state." Qi Huan disagreed, "No matter how powerful the Dongyi people are, they are not as powerful as the Turkic people." The Turks invaded our Great Xia back then, but as a result, we were not almost wiped out. Don't worry, evil is invincible, and in the face of robbers, every Xia person is fighting hard to kill the enemy. ”
Jin Ling let out a sigh of relief: "I hope they have good luck." ”
However, the truth was not as Jin Ling had hoped.
The arrival of the three-way army of King Liang did not defeat the Dongyi people as imagined.
On the contrary, in the first engagement, the soldiers of Great Xia suffered heavy casualties.
Dongyi pushed the front several miles further west.
The generals of the Three Roads Army gave a death order, and the soldiers were not afraid of death, so they stopped the Dongyi people from continuing to move forward.
The first meeting ended in defeat in Great Xia.
Faced with this result, Xia Chengyou was furious.
The order was immediately issued, and the king of Qi led 300,000 troops to help.
Qi Huan went, Jin Ling thought that he was not at ease, and personally asked for help with Qi Huan.
Qi Huan and Jin Ling also divided the army into three routes.
Qi Huan and Jin Ling went to support Guangzhen as the middle lane army.
Linzi is located in the middle of Great Xia, and there is a five-day rapid march from Linzi to the East China Sea.
Qi Huan Jin Ling galloped all the way, and on the way, he heard the news of the second battle between the Xia army and Dongyi.
To be exact, this time it was bad news.
Guangyu, the prince of Liang, was killed in battle.
Hearing the news, Jin Ling only felt dizzy for a while.
She couldn't believe that the news was true.
She had always felt that this was a world of nothingness.
She always thought that the biggest threat was Xia Chengyou, but she didn't expect that there would be an invasion from foreign clans.
It's still menacing.
Guangyu!
Fall?
How could it be!
"You've misintellected!" Jin Ling said to the herald soldiers according to the door of his head, "Cursing the front-line general is a capital crime that shakes the morale of the army!" ”
"The little ones don't dare!" The little soldier knelt on the withered yellow field and cried, "The prince has personally rushed to the army of the South Road. The prince doesn't believe it either. That's the prince of the world, who dares to spread it. ”
"So you didn't see it with your own eyes!" Qi Huan said in a deep voice, "There are so many people on the southern line, Guangyu is very good at kung fu, how is it possible!" ”
"I heard that it was poisoned!" Xiao Bing hurriedly said, "It's not just the prince of the world!" The generals who protected the prince are dead! ”
"What poison?" Jin Ling suddenly felt chills all over her body, "But black smoke? ”
"Little ones don't know!" The herald replied, "I only heard that it was poisoned." Soon he died of poison......"
"Since it's poisoning, it can be detoxified!" Jin Ling still had a trace of luck in her heart.
"I don't know about this little one! In two days, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the King of Qi will arrive at the camp of the army in the middle lane......."
"Go to the South Road!" Jin Ling said loudly, "You go to pass the South Road army and let them go to the middle road!" ”
"Your Highness!" The herald looked at Jin Ling with some surprise and said, "King Liang has already gone!" ”
"Go!" Jin Ling insisted, "How can the Dongyi people have a poison that has no medicine to treat? ”
"You mean......" Qi Huan's brows gradually furrowed, "There is an inner ghost?" ”
"Could it be that we were wrong in what we had assumed. Long Jinfeng wants to take revenge not only against you, me, Guangyu and the emperor, but the entire Great Xia...... She waited until now. ”
