Chapter 1236: Emperor Jingping
"Great General ......" Seeing Su Yunwu vomiting blood, his personal guards hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"I'm fine, let's get out of the army quickly. Su Yunwu said: "Even if I die, I have to hold out until reinforcements arrive." ”
At this time, Su Yunwu didn't know that his grievances were just a beginning.
Although there was a raging sea of fire in the middle, the movements of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom army could not be hidden from Xia Fan's divine thoughts. It's just that he didn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing the sea of fire, and then chasing after and beating the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
"Just let them escape?!" Xia Xue asked with a look of regret.
"Or else?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.
"Of course, if you chase them now, you will definitely be able to kill them. Xia Xue said confidently: "Why don't you let me take the cavalry over......"
"Okay. Xia Fan didn't refuse, his mind moved, the fire dragon clone had already put away the sea of fire that had devoured half of the Sword Casting Pass, and at the same time, Xia Fan also released Xia Xue's 100,000 cavalry from the Sky Swallowing Pocket.
"Really let me go?" Xia Xue said with some doubts.
"There is no joke in the army. Xia Fan said solemnly.
"Good. Xia Xuefei got on the horse and said, "I will not let you down." ”
After speaking, he had already rushed forward, raised the spear in his hand high, and said loudly: "Cavalry, follow me to attack." ”
"Wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and then continue the pursuit. Xia Fan watched Xia Xue leave with 100,000 cavalry, and then passed the order.
"Are you really relieved to let her go alone to hunt down and kill the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom?" Xia Lei, who had just arrived, couldn't help but worry after seeing Xia Xue leave and asking where he was going.
"Isn't she still with 100,000 cavalry, as long as she doesn't take the enemy lightly, but just bites the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, then there will definitely be no danger. Xia Fan replied casually and asked, "You are not guarding Tongtian Pass, why are you running here?"
"I discussed it with Xia Yu, and wanted to go over to see if you needed help, but I didn't expect you to be so fierce in the battle, and you actually knocked down the sword casting pass so quickly, it's really amazing!" Xia Lei arched his hand towards Xia Fan, and said in true admiration.
"At the beginning, my father also had the idea of attacking the Sword Casting Pass, but in the end he gave up. Xia Lei sighed with emotion: "So you are still amazing, and it is not unjust for us to lose in your hands." ”
"There is no need to talk about the past. Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "You go back later, let Xia Yu report the victory to the court, and send some soldiers and horses over to occupy this sword-casting pass." ”
"Good. Xia Lei nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will come to this matter personally, as long as I can't die, this sword-casting pass will definitely not be taken away by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom again." ”
"Don't do that, they will take it and give it to them if they want it, and they can't afford to risk their lives for the sake of a ruined city. Xia Fan shook his head and said: "I will take away the ordnance and materials in the city, and I will use them in the war later, and the rest are refined copper ingots, you can let people move them, this is all money." ”
"Hmm. Xia Lei nodded, and suddenly said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot something important." ”
As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman and handed it to Xia Fan, saying, "This is what the capital just sent over, and I named it for you to see." ”
Xia Fan nodded, took the jade talisman and glanced at it with his divine thoughts, and then frowned.
It turned out that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom blatantly declared war on the Han Dynasty under the pretext of the attack on the mission, and at the same time, many missions that were originally invited to the capital to watch the ceremony also declared war on the Han Dynasty as if they had discussed.
Although these countries that saw the wind and steered the rudder were all small countries that were vassals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, the momentum caused was really not small, giving people a feeling that the Great Han Dynasty was about to lose its deterrent power.
As a result, even the attitudes of many small countries that were originally vassals of the Han Dynasty suddenly became ambiguous.
The only good result now is that the Tianyu Empire did not jump out and fall into the ground, otherwise, the Han Dynasty would really be reduced to a dangerous situation where the wall fell and everyone pushed through the drums and thousands of people beat them.
In addition to this, the Jade Fu also mentions the situation on the border between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Great Han Dynasty.
Although war has been declared, and millions of troops have already been stationed on the border, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has not launched an attack. This made the Han Dynasty a little puzzled.
When Xia Fan saw this, his heart was bright, it was obvious that the battle situation on his side had affected the strategic decision-making of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
At the beginning, because the king of the town was dead, and at the same time, the eight tigers of the Xia family rebelled and suffered heavy losses, so the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not put the western frontier in its eyes, thinking that it would not take much effort to break through the Tongtian Pass, and then swept the western frontier when it was devastating.
So at that time, there was the idea of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom preparing for a two-front battle, in order to defeat the Great Han Dynasty as soon as possible and avoid the Tianyu Empire from interfering.
But before the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on the Great Han Dynasty, Xia Fan had already made a move against the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and chased and fought fiercely, and the soldiers and horses led by Su Yunwu were defeated again and again, with heavy casualties.
What Xia Fan didn't know was that Su Yunwu had asked for help from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom one after another, although he had his plans, but it also indirectly made the emperor of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the ministers of the court have to re-examine Tongtian Pass and the western frontier behind it.
After realizing the strength of the Western Frontier, unless the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is crazy, it is impossible to continue to fight on two fronts like the strategy originally formulated.
Because if you do this, if the war goes well, it's fine, but if the war is unfavorable, you can easily be dragged into a stalemate, which is definitely a terrible thing.
In fact, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not dare to do this, also because it had to guard against the Heavenly Rain Empire.
If you just fight the Han Dynasty, the confidence of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is still quite good, and even if it is really a two-front battle, it is not afraid. But since there is still a Heavenly Rain Empire eyeing the side of it, then the Great Sun Demon Kingdom can't help but be cautious.
Because if there is a problem in the two-front battle and it enters a stalemate, it is difficult to guarantee that the Tianyu Empire will not take the opportunity to make a move and stab the Great Sun Demon Kingdom in the back.
At that time, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom will not be fighting on two fronts, but on three fronts, and it will be one against two.
No matter how confident the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was, he didn't dare to say that he could defeat the two huge countries of the Han Dynasty and the Tianyu Empire at the same time.
So after careful consideration, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom adjusted its strategy, changing from a two-pronged approach to first the west and then the east, to put it bluntly, that is, after defeating the western frontier, and then attacking the Han Dynasty with all its might.
Although Xia Fan did not get detailed information on the changes in the situation in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, he could probably deduce the ins and outs from the current situation.
Although this will increase the pressure on him a lot, it is not a bad thing.
At least in Xia Fan's opinion, if his side started a war with the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, then the chance of victory was at least seventy or eighty percent. But if there is a war on the border, with those border troops of the Han Dynasty, the chance of winning to block the attack of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is only thirty percent.
From this point of view, of course, it is better for him to be the main battlefield.
.....................
Capital.
After a solemn but very cumbersome ceremony, the thirteen princes officially ascended the throne as the emperor, with the year name Jingping.
Since then, the Thirteen Princes have been Emperor Jingping in the eyes of the world.
In all fairness, the era name used by the Thirteen Princes is neither powerful nor domineering, but it seems a little mediocre. It's just that since he chose this, who among the ministers of the DPRK and China dares to say no.
Although he is already the emperor, it is impossible for the thirteen princes to do whatever they want, and there are some things that even if he is quite tired of himself, it is impossible to push them off.
For example, meeting with envoys from various countries was one of the many things that annoyed him.
No matter which emperor ascends the throne, regardless of whether he has a good face or a bad face, he always hopes that there will be a weather when all countries will come to court. Whether it's true or not, even if it's an appearance, at least it's not good-looking.
But the thirteenth prince, oh no, Emperor Jingping did not have such good luck when he ascended the throne.
Before he ascended the throne, the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom were destroyed, and the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on him the day before he ascended the throne.
This is obviously adding to his blockage, which is even more boring than when Liu Xingchen ascended the throne and led the grassland army to invade the Han Dynasty.
What made Emperor Jingping even more unhappy was that this troublesome matter was not over, as soon as the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on the Great Han Dynasty, a group of small vassal countries of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom jumped out and bared their teeth towards the Great Han Dynasty, and their attitude was called an arrogance.
If it was the former Thirteen Princes, he would have tossed those small country missions to death a long time ago. If you don't put them in a hundred and eight postures, he, the prince, will be considered a fake.
But now that he has become Emperor Jingping, he has no way to do whatever he wants. Especially the Han Dynasty is still a big country, and it is always necessary to pay attention to the bearing of a big country, how can it be like a bunch of small countries.
"It's really special, I have the bearing, I'm holding my breath as an emperor. Emperor Jingping sat on the dragon chair, watching a group of envoys from some small countries who were vassals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom making a lot of nonsense under him, and his heart was extremely unhappy, and he secretly judged that after the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was knocked to the ground in the future, he would definitely send troops to level these small countries.
When Emperor Jingping was thinking wildly, he heard a tight sound of victory outside.
The Han Dynasty's victory is famous, if it is a foreign battle and victory, the soldiers of the victory can cross the capital and enter the palace on horseback, and along the way, there will be people to help shout the victory.
Because the capital is too big, there are thousands of miles from the main gate to the palace, so there is also a saying about this way of reporting victory.
The sound of the victory echoed and could be spread throughout most of the capital, and what was wanted was to tell all the people of the Han Dynasty the good news of the victory. Of course, if the battle is won, that is, of course, the brilliance on the emperor's face.
The last time he walked through the city like this and reported the victory for thousands of miles, it was when Liu Xingchen defeated the eagle and broke the sky, but at that time, Liu Xingchen was leading his troops outside, so naturally he did not enjoy the grand scene when the good news came and all the people shouted long live.
Now Emperor Jingping has just ascended the throne, but he has caught up.
The shouts of victory began, and then the voices of the people could be heard. The sound is like a tide, earth-shattering, even if you are in the palace, you can hear it vividly.
