Yang Zhao was very decisive, and when he saw the power of the explosive crossbow, he understood that he couldn't contain it at all, and his original plan couldn't be realized.

In this case, there is no need to waste the hard support of the warrior army.

Not to mention that the other party's amazing weapon has huge lethality, and it will not be able to resist for long at all; even if it resists for a period of time, the army of the scholar clan will be exhausted, and there will be no capital to seek benefits from the imperial court at that time.

When the strength of the scholars is strong enough, the imperial court will pay attention to it, and only then will it not dare to underestimate it, and it will be won over with generous profits; once the strength of the scholars is weakened, the imperial court will not take it seriously.

Yang Zhao himself is a member of the scholar clan and knows the stakes well. Shinong industry and commerce, Shi occupies the first place among them, relying on the strength of the ethnic group.

He didn't want to exhaust the private soldiers of all ethnic groups here and lose the capital to negotiate with the imperial court for benefits.

So under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, Yang Zhao and the leaders of all ethnic groups decisively abandoned the city, broke through the north gate with the army, and went straight to Zeshan County.

The people in the city thought that Yang Zhao and the various warriors would stay to resist, but they found that something was wrong, so they gave up and left decisively, and they were disappointed.

was persuaded by him before, fully funded the scholars, and even contributed the only cattle in the family, but he regretted it at the moment.

After the Shi army retreated, the small number of Nancheng troops left behind surrendered one after another, and with their little strength, there was no way to fight against the Huaguo army.

The Chinese army successfully captured Loushan County and captured the city for the second time.

Chu Wenxiu issued an order to appease the people in the city and soothe people's hearts.

Then he asked Zhong Jizhao to lead his troops from the north gate and build additional defensive checkpoints along the way, and he and Huang Shao and his wife were responsible for repairing and strengthening the city defenses, and arranged troops around the city of Loushan County to ensure that it was as stable as Mount Tai.

The city that she finally won, she doesn't want to be recaptured by the other party.

After the nobles in the city left, they didn't have to worry about the same situation as before.

Although there are also a few merchants who have private soldiers in their homes, they can't be compared with the scholars. Moreover, merchants are very profitable, they don't care much about which force controls the city, they just want to know which side is in charge of their own interests.

Chu Wenxiu was busy consolidating Loushan County, trying to win over the hearts of the people and strengthen the defense, which side of Yang Zhao went all the way north, trekking through mountains and rivers to reach Zeshan County.

The Taishou of Zeshan County personally met and asked about the situation in Loushan County.

Yang Zhao joined forces with various warrior clans and had more than 20,000 soldiers, which should not be underestimated. Moreover, he took Loushan County before, except Feng Bing, Wei Ji, and Wei Zhong, and seriously injured the famous ghost-faced general. After that, he repelled the Huaguo army led by Chu Wenxiu, which can be described as strong.

The local scholars in various places were originally the targets of the imperial court, and if they wanted domestic stability, the role of the scholars was extremely important.

The imperial city was broken before, which greatly damaged Nancheng's vitality, and such a strong team came to defect, of course, he had to hold it in his hands.

After a detailed explanation before, Yang Zhao told the Taishou of Zeshan County that the retreat was due to lack of materials and was helpless, and if he could get enough supplies and the assistance of the imperial court, he would be able to recapture Loushan County.

Of course, if these soldiers want to work hard for the imperial court, they must have enough exchange benefits to let Zeshan County Taishou Shangshu Nancheng become the imperial court.

The parties negotiate and discuss in detail, mainly in terms of interests.

Soon after, an army from the imperial city hurried over, led by Jinping Taishou Baijingtang, and his brother Bai Tingwan jointly led the army, and made a special trip to capture Loushan County.

The army arrived at Zeshan and met with Yang Zhao and the leader of the Shi clan.

They had already received the news and knew the conditions of the Shi army, so they informed Yang Zhao that as long as they assisted the imperial court in retaking Loushan County, these would not be a problem.

With a positive reply, the leader of the Shi clan followed Yang Zhao, joined forces with the Bai brothers, and marched south to kill Benloushan County.

Arriving near Changlong Mountain, Zhong Jizhao led his troops to guard it, and a simple checkpoint had been built, which was used as a foundation to block the Nancheng army from holding out.

Zhong Jizhao's ability is good, otherwise no matter how short of people Huaguo is, it will be impossible for him to make Jiuqing.

In a head-to-head confrontation in the field, the troops in his hands may not be able to beat the opponent's army, but his defense is quite powerful, and he uses the terrain advantage to wait for work, lay down defensive formations, and repel the enemy's offensive several times.

On the side of Loushan County, Chu Wenxiu got the news and ordered his henchman Liang Hong to guard the city, and together with her husband Huang Shao, led the army north to assist Zhong Jizhao in guarding the pass.

The armies of both sides engaged in a fierce battle at Changlong Mountain.

On the other side, Ouyang Chun led the army to a stalemate with Tang Niu and did not back down from each other.

Tang Niu's side had the advantage of terrain and the help of the Di tribe, and barely kept the Chinese army out of the country.

Under the successive conflicts, he also stabilized with the help of the Di tribe's beast taming secret technique, and he could not see the slightest possibility of retreating.

Of course, they only had the power to defend, and they had no way to launch a counteroffensive against the Chinese army.

On this day, the scout reported: "The soldiers under the command of the puppet emperor Tang Niu have changed one after another!"

Ouyang Chun immediately went to the lookout and took the binoculars to check it out for himself.

Through the binoculars, I clearly saw that the opposing soldiers, under the guidance of the Di tribe, were all over the mountains to pick wild vegetables and catch prey, looking urgent.

At that moment, he gathered all the generals and said to everyone: "The enemy army is running out of food, it is the right time! You can take the opportunity to make a surprise attack, and you will definitely win!"

So they divided their troops into three ways and immediately launched a surprise attack on Tang Niu's army.

Tang Niu's army was really short of food, and the army's morale was weak. In the face of the surprise attack of the Chinese army, although they fought back with all their might, their morale was low, and the soldiers were hungry and had no intention of fighting, and the result was a great defeat.

The soldiers of the Zhou State escorted Tang Niu to fight and retreat, and in the face of the pressing of the Chinese army, they suffered heavy losses. The Di tribe had no choice but to abandon the Di tribe, and the whole army retreated to Daxing County.

After the withdrawal of the Zhou army, the Di people fought the Chinese army with all their might.

It's just outnumbered, hoping to resist with the help of terrain.

Ouyang Chun ordered the army to launch a carpet round-up, and after several days of fighting, the leader of the Di tribe, Servant Poison, was captured.

In order to survive, the poison had no choice but to surrender to Hua.

In order to survive, border barbarians like theirs must swing between the great powers. Especially in the face of the crisis of extermination, it is inevitable to make a choice.

After the surrender of the servant poison, the generals Gaihun, Yi Nalou, and Qilifa also gave up resistance and led their people down the mountain.

The Di tribe was included in the territory of Huaguo, and Ouyang Chun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and ordered the servants to poison, Gaihun, Yinalou, and Qilifa to lead the way, and led the Chinese army through the desert, and slaughtered to Daxing County, Puzhou.

Tang Niu fled to Daxing, and when he heard that the Di tribe had surrendered, "Ning Ze" personally led the army to chase and kill, panicked, and hurriedly summoned the civil and military ministers to inquire about countermeasures.

General Li Ling suggested: "You can go south to ask for help, and ask Liang Guo to send troops to help." ”

Prime Minister Mei Xu shook his head when he heard this: "The main force of the Liang State and Ning Ze are facing Mizhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support! Nancheng's army is too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible to help. ”

"Ning Ze is in two places, and he actually suppressed my tripartite alliance, why is it so strong?" Tang Niu was very unwilling, "It is said that there is a shortage of talents in Huaguo, who would have thought that one Ning Ze would be difficult to deal with!"

The civil and military ministers were all silent.

Who would have thought that the Chinese army would be so strong that the tripartite alliance would be able to suppress the other side, but who would have expected that the Chinese army would have an advantage in the war on the three fronts.

All of this is because of Ning Ze.

Who would have thought that he could split into two places and deal with Zhou and Liang Liangguo at the same time.

At present, the army is pressing, and the morale of the generals of the Zhou State is low, even if there is a former number one military general in the world, the emperor of the Zhou State, Tang Niu, who is personally driving, he is powerless.

Ning Ze once defeated Tang Niu in a one-on-one situation, which gave him a shadow in his heart. In addition, there will be all kinds of weird spells, which are difficult to guard.

At present, from top to bottom, from the "emperor" to the generals and soldiers, the Zhou State has no confidence to block the Chinese army.

On the other hand, the morale of the Chinese army is high, and it has received the allegiance of the Di people, how should it be handled?

Tang Niu's eyes fell on Prime Minister Mei Xu, hoping that he could give a suggestion to get out of this troublesome situation.

Mei Xu felt the pressure of Tang Niu's gaze, and turned to the civil and military ministers, wanting to find someone to share the heavy responsibility for him and find a solution. But lying down, the military officials looked at each other, and none of them had an idea.

After a long time, Mei Xu could only sigh: "Now the situation is not in my favor, and Liang Guo and Nan will not be able to leave. For the sake of today's plan, we can only delay and wait for change!"

"Wait for change?" Tang Niu hurriedly asked, "How can you wait for change?"

Mei Xu replied: "Now that the country of Hua is powerful, it is difficult to crack the demon law of Ning Ze. If it goes head-to-head, it's hard to resist. Our country has lost several games in a row, and the morale of the army is low, and if we lose again, the consequences will be unimaginable! It is better to seek peace for the time being and gain time. On the one hand, consolidate the city defense, restore the people's morale, and on the other hand, urgently mobilize materials to solve the problem of military rations, if the Chinese army can retreat, and wait until the fighting between Liang and Nancheng stops, the pressure can be reduced, and then we will discuss how to deal with Ning Ze!"

"Do you want me to make peace with him?" Tang Niu snapped, "Impossible!"

"Your Majesty!" Mei Xu bowed and said, "The minister doesn't want to sue for peace, but the situation is like this, and this is an expedient measure!"

"This ......" Tang Niu is actually quite arrogant, after all, he has been titled "the world's first general" since his debut. With his character, he is absolutely unwilling to compromise with Ning Ze and seek peace. But he also knew very well in his heart that after successive defeats, his own soldiers had no fighting spirit, and it was difficult to resist the Chinese army. If the other party attacks all the way, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold Daxing County.

Seeing Tang Niu's hesitation, Mei Xu said: "Your Majesty! endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky." In the current situation, it is not appropriate to fight again!"

Lying down, Wu Qunchen came out one after another to support Mei Xu's statement.

Everyone can clearly see that their own army has no morale, and coupled with the lack of military rations, it is difficult to resist China with all its might.

Faced with the concerted exhortation of the civil and military ministers, Tang Niu struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "How could Ning Ze let go of such a good opportunity? Even if he asks for peace, he may not be willing to respond!"

Mei Xu replied: "Although China has the advantage and suppresses the border of the three countries, it may not be without concerns. ”

"In this case, according to the words of the prime minister. Who are you just sending to sue for peace?" Tang Niu looked around at the civil and military officials on the scene.

The civil and military officials of the Zhou State who were swept by the gaze shrank their heads one after another, no one wanted to go to sue for peace as a messenger, firstly, the two sides were still at war, in case Ning Ze's eyes were glaring and he wanted to kill, his own head would fall to the ground;
