At the same time that Wang Ze was preparing for the Battle of Sumoshui, the Northern Zhou army also officially took almost the entire land of Sanqi.

Even if Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong died suddenly, the successor Yu Wenyun was extremely ridiculous, but the Wenchen and generals left by Yuwen Yong to his son are still there, with so many outstanding talents and generals to assist, even if Yu Wenyun is a stupid pig, he can continue the Northern Zhou Dynasty steadily.

At this time, the situation faced by the Northern Zhou was very good, almost all of the energy of the Xia Kingdom was attracted to the area of Liaodong and Sumoshui, and Nan Chen had been completely defeated by the Northern Zhou, and he was still too busy to take care of himself, let alone say anything about the Northern Expedition.

Under the unified command of the great general Wei Chi Yuan, the Zhou army south of the river took the lead in the attack, attracting the main attention of the Sanqi army, and then Daxi Chengxing north of the river also began to use thousands of fireboats down the river to force Zhong Likai's naval army back.

So more than 200,000 Zhou troops successfully crossed the river to the south, and then the lieutenant Chi Hui used a group of surrendered Taishan thieves to find a small road, and sent nearly 20,000 people to attack the back of the Xia army, and soon the Xia army stationed in Jinan City had to retreat under the command of Yuan Jia.

At this time, the people of Sanqi around Jinan City had already retreated under the organization of the Xia State, so Yuan Jia did not feel any regrets in retreating, anyway, what was left for the Northern Zhou army was just a blank land.

After having the experience of several previous retreats, Yuan Jia did not panic at all in this retreat, he built a large number of chariots in advance, and when retreating, he could not only effectively block the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also use the chariots to carry a large number of rockets, accumulate rockets and other weapons.

Although Wei Chi Hui wanted to annihilate a part of the Xia army, he could not find any weakness under Yuan Jia's strict command, so the Xia army successfully withdrew all the way to Linzi City, two hundred miles to the east, and once again established a defensive line.

At this time, the evacuation of the Sanqi people organized by the Xia State had lasted for several months, and there was almost no civilian existence in the entire west of Weishui, so Yuan Jia had fought several offensive and defensive battles with the Northern Zhou army here, and then retreated to Qingzhou City not far away.

For Wei Chi Hui, this battle was very depressing, the Northern Zhou army was indeed attacking the city along the way, capturing a lot of Xia Kingdom cities, after the news reached Chang'an, it also made Yuwen Yunlong Yan Dayue, who was busy collecting nectar among the flowers.

But all this can't be hidden from the big and small officials and generals inside the Northern Zhou, and these people below know in their hearts that the Northern Zhou is just getting an empty land, but with the advance of the battle line, the logistical pressure on the Northern Zhou is getting bigger and bigger.

As early as shortly after Wang Yong left Sanqi, Wang Ze began to organize the evacuation of the people of Sanqi, and now after the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacked aggressively, the speed of the Xia State to organize the evacuation has increased.

Many people did not go directly to the Xia homeland, but first moved to Jiaozhou County, or Changguang County, Weihai County and other places north of Daze Mountain, and then further transferred to Liaodong, Goguryeo's hometown, or other counties to settle there.

After Yuan Jia evacuated to Qingzhou, he also fought many battles with Wei Chi Hui, which made the Northern Zhou army, which had the advantage in numbers, temporarily stop.

However, the strength of the Northern Zhou army was relatively strong after all, and the Northern Zhou also had its own gunpowder weapons, so after more than 20 days, the Northern Zhou army still conquered all the small cities around Qingzhou, and Yuan Jia had to continue to abandon Qingzhou City and evacuate eastward.

Along the way, Yuan Jia did not completely retreat all the way, he formed a posture of resistance to the Northern Zhou army, and successively fought with the Northern Zhou in Changyi City, Weixian, and Gaomi County, which made the Northern Zhou army exhausted from running all the way.

In the end, Yuan Jia retreated all the way to the east of Weishui, Donglai County, Laishui line, there are still a small number of people here who have not evacuated to play, only when all the people behind him retreat to the safety of Changguang County, he can continue to retreat.

Wei Chi Hui's command ability is still much better than Yuan Jia's, although the combat effectiveness of the Xia army commanded by Yuan Jia is not too strong, but this still reflects the level of the commanders on both sides.

On the same day that Wang Ze launched a general attack at Sumoshui, Wei Chi Hui also led an army of more than 300,000 people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to launch a general attack on Yuan Jia's Xia army stationed in Donglai County, and in addition, Da Xi Chengxing in the south also led an army of 100,000 troops to launch a general attack on the Laishui defense line west of Jiaozhou City.

In the face of the strong attack of the Northern Zhou army, although Yuan Jia had long known that he was going to give up the land of Sanqi west of Changguang County, his heart was still full of reluctance, after all, these lands had been beaten down with a knife and a gun over the years, and they were covered with the blood of unknown heroes.

After a great battle that lasted for nearly three days, Yuan Jia led the Xia army to leave the battlefield and continue to retreat to Changguang County, a fortress that had been set up a long time ago, and they would not give up the land after that, this is not only the place where Wang Ze started, but also the place where the first temple of the Haotian God Sect is located.

Once this place is really occupied by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the temple is destroyed, then the blow to the morale of the people in the Xia Kingdom will be too serious, so the land here is the bottom line for the Xia army to retreat.

At this time, after a long series of battles, Wei Chi Hui also had no energy to continue the attack, not only because the battle of Donglai County consumed too many troops, but also because the entire land of Sanqi was emptied by the Xia State, all the materials needed by Wei Chi Yuan's army had to be collected and transported from Luoyang.

If it was when Yuwenyong was alive, he would give his full support no matter what, but at this time, Yuwenyun was in power, and it was too useless for him to continue to deliver a large amount of materials after the army won, so Wei Chi Hui no longer had enough materials to attack Changguang County.

Compared with Wei Chi Hui, who occupied the strategic location of Donglai County, Da Xi Chengxing's attack on Jiaozhou City was unsuccessful, because Xia Guo still concentrated more than 200,000 people here and did not withdraw, so they resolutely defended and could not retreat at all.

This ordered Xi Chengxing to hit a hard bone, and in front of the Xia army's defensive position, he was bleeding head-on, and finally failed to take this important land.

In fact, Wang Ze didn't attach much importance to Jiaozhou Port, but he didn't want to give up this natural port to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and in history, the Sui Dynasty used Changguang County in Jiaodong as the base of the naval army, and after manufacturing a large number of ships, he attacked Goguryeo from here.

Now Goguryeo has perished, but the Sui Dynasty can still use it to attack the Xia State, while the Xia army continues to occupy Changguang County and Weihai County, Jiaozhou City is a good naval base for the Northern Dynasty.

From here, whether it is attacking the hometown of Baekje, the hometown of Goguryeo, or attacking the Xia fleet in the East China Sea, it is a good base area.

Wang Ze knew this, and of course Wei Chi Hui and Da Xi Chengxing also knew this, so Wei Chi Hui and Da Xi Chengxing joined forces to continue to attack the Laishui defense line in Jiaozhou City, and the offensive of hundreds of thousands of troops made the Xia army unable to defend for a while, and the situation was critical.

At this moment, there was a problem inside the Northern Zhou, Yu Wenyun didn't know whether to have convulsions or how to drop, and suddenly recalled his uncle Qi Wang Yuwenxian, who was originally stationed in Youzhou, to Chang'an, and then killed Yu Wenxian on the charge of rebellion.

It's not enough to kill Yu Wenxian, Yu Wenyun ordered all the generals stationed abroad to return to Chang'an to face the saint, this lieutenant Chi Zhen and Da Xi Chengxing can't agree to it, after all, Yu Wenyun can kill Yu Wenxian's cousin on trumped-up charges of treason, not to mention outsiders like himself.

So Wei Chi Hui and Da Xi Chengxing had to retreat the army to the area of Gaomi County to defend, and also left a large army in Qingzhou and Jinan City to garrison, but the Xia army did not take back the lost land after they retreated, and the two sides separated very tacitly.

Yu Wenyun said that the emperor could do extremely ridiculous things, he killed his cousin Yu Wenxian for a crime, but there was no evidence, and the reason for the murder was only that Yu Wenxian mobilized troops and horses in Youzhou without authorization.

God is pitiful, Yu Wenxian mobilized soldiers and horses, precisely because Xia Guo's large-scale attack on the Khitan and Kumo Xi posed a great threat to Youzhou, and Yu Wenxian, as the general manager of Youzhou's marching soldiers and horses, had every reason to report to the emperor after mobilizing troops and horses.

But Yu Wenyun didn't care so much, after killing his uncle with a knife, he summoned the generals of the whole country to Chang'an, invited the big guy to a meal and asked everyone to do what they wanted, and he didn't care how many military planes were delayed.

At this time, Yu Wenyun was dedicated to cultivating Xuan, indulging in Buddhism, he first built a majestic and tall palace for himself, known as Tiantai, and called 'Tian' to his subordinates.

In order to enjoy it better, he even passed the throne to his son Yu Wenyan less than a year after he ascended the throne, proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyuan, and canonized his other four concubines as queens, forming a situation of one emperor and five queens.

It seems that this so-called harem treats everyone equally, but this practice has led to a more intense struggle for power within the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is really a chaotic move, although there are various factors that restrict people, but it also has to be admitted that it is also an effective way to maintain social order.

Yu Wenyun was so devoted to having fun, he only thought that he was the emperor and everyone else would follow his orders, but he didn't know how the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established step by step.

Until now, the authority of the emperor within the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not absolute, although the power of the general of the Zhu State has been weakened a lot, but the Guanlong Xianbei military aristocratic group has been formally formed, and the Yuwen family is just their leader.

In order to have a better time, Yu Wenyun handed over the power to his father-in-law Yang Jian, although Yu Wenyun was still full of suspicion towards Yang Jian, but in the case of Yang Jian doing things honestly, he did not find any handle for him, and Yang Jian's power was unconsciously greater.

Although Yang Jian has power, he is still very low-key, and he will tell Yuwenyun about everything, but he often deliberately talks very trivial, so the impatient Yuwenyun will let him deal with it himself, and then continue to have fun.

While others would only think that Yang Jian had already sought Yu Wenyun's consent for everything, and after dealing with the matter, everyone in the Northern Zhou Dynasty praised Yang Jian as a wise and generous elder.
