In the first battle of Suining City, the city lord died in battle, and the remaining Jin soldiers died or surrendered, Yao Ruoyu and others did not spend much effort to completely occupy the entire city.

As for the previous Feng Kewen, he took advantage of the chaos to escape and escaped from the city before the literary army occupied the city gate, which also made Cai Xudong feel sorry for a while.

After occupying Suining, Yao Ruoyu and others took the lead in reorganizing the army, and then waited for the letters from the other two armies.

Four days later, the dark scout finally sent the battle report of the two armies, and after Yao Ruoyu saw it, he knew that the two armies had captured Nanchong and Dazhou respectively yesterday.

Because of the anger of the Bingquan Army before the withdrawal of the Bingquan Army, there were only more than 100 people left in the army in the city, where could they stop Fu Feng's attack, and they immediately opened the door and surrendered without the slightest resistance.

As for Nanchong's side, Yang Renjie originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack, but he didn't want to have a half-step Wujing in the city, and he attacked for two days without success, until Zou Buyi offered a suggestion to divide the redwood battalion into four teams, taking turns to attack the city in the distance day and night, forcing the Nanchong defenders to defend day and night.

Taking advantage of the fatigue of the defenders, the Thunder God Battalion took advantage of the night to go around, and first destroyed the city gate by Zou Buyi, so that all the Thunder God Battalion rushed into the city, and formed a military formation to surround and kill the half-step Wujing Shengsheng in the street.

Although there were a slight waves, the momentum of the literary and artistic army to capture the three cities in a row was not blocked, and in just five days, all the large and small towns and cities in Nanchong, Suining, and Dazhou fell into the control of the literary and artistic army.

At this point, the territory of Wenbang has expanded several times in an instant, Hezhou, Diaoyu, Nanchong, Suining, Guang'an, Dazhou six medium-sized cities, plus Sanjiang, Yitong, Yuechi, Wusheng and other nearly 20 small counties, the population has swelled I don't know how many times, tired Bai Qiuyu and other household officials are tired, going back and forth to various towns, counting the number of local people, and included them in the register.

After these battles, although the literary army suffered heavy losses, the total number of prisoners in each city was close to 10,000, and those who were willing to surrender were divided among the battalions, and those who were unwilling were banned and sent to slaves or death squads.

After dealing with these prisoners, coupled with the replenishment of the reserve battalion, the literary and artistic army has returned to its original number, and even because of this series of fierce battles, the strength of the soldiers of each army has obviously increased a lot, and the combat power is far better than at the beginning.

The sudden surge in territory has also caused a shortage of civil servants in Wenbang, and many people have to wear multiple hats.

And the city lord candidates of Nanchong, Suining, and Dazhou, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong and others discussed for a long time before they were finally finalized.

Chu Hai, the former deputy city lord of Sanjiang City, was transferred to the city lord of Nanchong, Bai Junru's eldest disciple, Huang Kuankuan, the former director of the Civil Rites Division of the Ministry of Rites, served as the city lord of Suining, and Duan Li, the former city lord of Yitong City, was transferred to the city lord of Dazhou.

Sanjiang and the two cities were originally built to prevent the Jin Kingdom, and now that the territory has expanded into Sichuan, the strategy of the two cities is naturally much lower, so after thinking about it, Chu Hai and Duan Li were transferred to Nanchong and Dazhou.

Although there were flaws in the initial cooperation, the Dali relics have always been loyal after the Western Xia rebellion, Yao Ruoyu gradually relieved, and this time Duan Li was transferred to the position of the city lord of Dazhou, on the one hand, it was also to encourage their past achievements, and on the other hand, it was also to use the power of the Dali relics to sit in Dazhou and guard against the Jin army in the north.

As for Chu Hai, originally Yao Ruoyu didn't want to use him, and he couldn't stand the constant persuasion of Yang Renjie, who was blown by the wind on the pillow, plus the Chu family was indeed no different since his arrival, and the overall strength of the Chu family was not weak, Yao Ruoyu finally agreed to Chu Hai's transfer to Nanchong City Lord.

However, speaking of which, although the two cities of Sanjiang and Yitong were built with great efforts back then, due to the local area of Hezhou, the area of the two cities is actually not large, and it is equivalent to Yuechi and Wusheng, and it is indeed unable to accommodate the two forces of the Chu family and Dali.

As for the position of the city lord of Sanjiang and Yitong after the two of them were transferred, because it belonged to the Acropolis, and Wenbang would definitely strategically shift to the west in the future, the throne of the city lord of the two cities was no longer so important, so Yao Ruo foolishly threw it directly to the officials to decide, and he was too lazy to worry about this matter.

Now that Wenbang's territory has expanded, and the affairs are much heavier than at the beginning, if Yao Ruoyu wants to bury his head and deal with them one by one, it is estimated that he will not think about practicing in the future.

A few days later, at the court meeting held in the Guang'an City Lord's Mansion temporarily, Yao Ruoyu also announced one thing with Yang Renjie and others, once they broke through to the Five Realms, the army under his command would immediately increase its establishment, from the original battalion level to the town level, that is, from one battalion to three battalions.

Yang Renjie, Li Yilin and others were naturally overjoyed when they found out, and they all secretly cheered up, hoping to break through to the Five Realms as soon as possible.

Chengdu, the fourth royal palace.

After receiving the latest developments of the Literary and Art Army, Wanyan Qiongyu finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and angrily found Wanyan Fourth.

"Father!" waving the letterhead in his hand, Wan Yan Qiongyu said angrily, "The literary and artistic army is about to occupy half of Sichuan, why don't you attack them? Do you want to watch them digest all those places and then continue to attack us?"

Wan Yan Si, who had shot once in Hezhou City back then, looked only in his early thirties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly body that looked like a black bear at first glance.

It wasn't until Wanyan Qiongyu gritted his teeth and stopped talking, that Wanyan Si said slowly: "What's the hurry, this is deliberately arranged by the national teacher, that is, to let the literary and artistic army attack in, only when the situation seems to be as if they can completely occupy Sichuan, those ghosts and ghosts in my Sichuan will jump out one by one." ”

Seeing that Wanyan Qiongyu was stunned, Wanyan Si sneered slightly, and said lightly: "Although my Dajin has occupied Sichuan for more than ten years, there are still many Song people secretly plotting and trying to revolt and rebel. ”

Wan Yan Si looked at his eldest son fixedly, and said slowly: "Only this move can make them all unable to hold back, and only when they come out, can they be completely cut down together with the literary and artistic army, and let me really bring Sichuan into the rule!"

Wanyan Qiongyu was silent when he heard this, but although he didn't speak, there was still a strong look of disbelief between his eyebrows.

Wanyan Si naturally saw this, but he didn't say anything, but said slowly: "It's you, Qiongyu, who still have the heart to think about these things." ”

Wanyan Qiongyu was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Sichuan is your fiefdom of your father, why can't I ......?"

"You probably don't know yet, right," Wan Yan Si ignored his answer and interrupted directly, "The day before yesterday, your imperial brother killed the three battalion generals of the Yanggu Army in Shaanxi with the cultivation of the Five Realms and Eight Folds, and even fought a draw with Chu Crazy Zheng. ”

"What?" Wanyan Qiongyu Huo Ran changed color, and then understood the meaning of Wanyan Si's words, his face was blue for a while, and he gritted his teeth after a while, "I understand, I will start retreat today." ”

"You were affected by that Wenbang earlier, and it is difficult to break through the five realms with a mental barrier, but now the mental barrier has been removed, although you have been promoted to the five realms, but the realm is not yet stable, let's retreat first, you don't have to worry about Wenbang's affairs. Wan Yan Si's expression still couldn't see the joy and anger, like a pool of stagnant water, making it difficult to see the bottom of it, only Wan Yan Qiongyu, who was his eldest son, could sense the anger in it.

After a little hesitation, Wanyan Qiongyu finally agreed with his fists, and then turned to leave.

It wasn't until he left that Wan Yan's fourth eyelid was slightly raised, and he glanced at him casually, then turned his head to look out the window, although he was thousands of miles away, he seemed to have crossed a long distance, looking at the literary and artistic army stationed in Nanchong, Guang'an and other places.

"Literary and artistic army, let's see how many people you can draw! Sichuan, the fourth territory of my complete face!"

*——*——*——*

The Jin State seemed to have completely given up counterattacking the literary and artistic army that had invaded its hinterland, but continued to gather a large army to fight the Song army in Shaanxi, but never paid attention to the literary and artistic army that had captured almost a quarter of Sichuan.

Yao Ruoyu and the others also knew that this was the calm before the storm, so they also took advantage of this rare quiet time to step up the training of soldiers and horses, and at the same time, Nanchong and other cities re-established the city defense army, and Hu Bilan, Chen Tingchao and other guests from the five realms also went to each city to sit in each city to prevent the assassination of the masters on the Jin side.

There are Dali relics in Dazhou, and there are masters of the Chu family in Suining, but Nanchong's troops are slightly thin, so Yao Ruoyu and others also led the army to be stationed in Nanchong, anyway, he did not interfere in political affairs, and let Huang Kuankuan, the city lord, be busy every day without touching the ground, and he almost didn't have time to sleep.

In addition to Yao Ruoyu, Yang Renjie, and Fu Feng, they also have to train soldiers, and on weekdays, Li Huan, Cai Xudong, Hu Xian and others are almost leisurely and have almost nothing to do, so they wander around Nanchong City every day.

Among these people, Cai Xudong is the most noisy, because after crossing over, except for being in the Blood Sect, he basically spent the rest of his life on the run, and finally lived in seclusion in the village for several years, so he didn't have a good time visiting the city of this era at all.

After reuniting with Yao Ruoyu and others, with Wenbang as a backer, Cai Xudong no longer had to worry about those pursuits, and he was able to hang out boldly with confidence.

On this day, Cai Xudong had just finished visiting Lingyun Mountain in the east of Nanchong, and took a large number of so-called spiritual treasures that he bought after being bewitched by the Taoist priest on the mountain, and went down the mountain satisfied, and after boarding the carriage, he went to the city lord's mansion leisurely.

Sitting in the carriage, Cai Xudong held up a purple clay pot and looked at it like an expert, but after admiring it for a long time, he just sighed, put down the teapot a little gloomily, and looked at him with a stunned expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The mountain road was rough, and the carriage staggered for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly a creak was heard, and then it stopped inexplicably.

After fleeing for several years, Cai Xudong had already cultivated the instinct of vigilance, and before the carriage stopped, his eyes were already sharp, and the dantian really turned around his body, in case there was anything unusual outside.

Just when he was secretly on guard, Fu Chaozan's laughter suddenly came from outside: "Brother Cai!"

"Super Chan. Cai Xudong relaxed when he heard this, lifted the curtain, and saw Fu Chaozan and Ren Jiasheng standing side by side, looking at him with a smile in front of the carriage.

"How do you know I'm in the car?" Putting down the purple clay pot, Cai Xudong bowed down and stepped out of the carriage, looked at the two and asked with a smile.

"Who doesn't know that these days, there is a high-ranking person in the literary and artistic army who goes shopping and walks birds all day long, wandering around. Ren Jiasheng smiled gently, and his handsome and flawless smile caused many little ladies around him to exclaim in a low voice, and a few women covered their chests with their hands, looking like they were about to suffocate.

"You said you're so handsome, don't always hook up with other people's little girls every day, okay?" Cai Xudong laughed evilly and said teasingly, and Ren Jiasheng was as he expected, his pretty face flushed, revealing a little embarrassment.

When the two were chatting, Fu Chaozan had already smiled and said, "Abu and I just came back from military training, and I happened to see Brother Cai's carriage, so I will say hello to you." ”

"It's so happy!" Cai Xudong folded his sleeves with his hands and pretended to sigh, "There are still soldiers to train, pity me as a scattered person, no luck!"

Fu Chaozan was suddenly happy, and said with a smile: "Brother Demon said that he would set up a battalion of soldiers and horses for you, Brother Cai, you don't want it yourself!"

was poked by him, Cai Xudong was not embarrassed, but said with a smile: "Haha! What I practice is not military Taoism, but martial arts. ”
