Since Emperor Tai Kang eliminated the armed forces of the major rivers and lakes, Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Jin to help him obtain four million yuan, so Emperor Tai Kang ordered Prince Kang Liang Shili, Prince Liang Kuan, and Prince Liang Kuan, the military department Shangshu Xu Liang, Liang Dajin, Liang Dahai, Liang Dazhong and other generals to train soldiers and horses, just waiting for the time to be ripe, to destroy the Wu State in one fell swoop, and return the Great Xia Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous era.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Taikang, Wu Wanggong was in Nanjing.

The king, now that the danger of the court has been alleviated, it is not effective for my Wu country, there are many rebellions in my Wu land, if the court army is killed at this time, it will be difficult for us to resist, and I also ask the king and the queen to decide, Wu Guo Taifu Ye Tian said.

Liang An, the king of Wu, said: Wu is ripe, the world is full, is it difficult to collect grain and grass supplies in the land of 20 states and 400 counties in my Wu country, so there is no difficulty in the imperial court? Spread the will of the widows, collect grain and grass in the land of Wu, increase the tax revenue to supply the military and government, increase the army by 100,000, and fight against the imperial court with 600,000 people, and wait for the widows to get in touch with Zhennan, Zhendong, Guanzhong, Zhenbei, and Zhenxi, and raise troops to capture the capital division and seize the world.

Former general Liu Ping listened to the order, you mobilize 50,000 troops, assist the states and counties to collect grain and grass, and if there is a rebellion, send a large army to suppress it.

In the territory of Wu, it is the third time to increase taxes, the family family, the common people complained, the Lotus Uprising broke out, once seized the three states and sixty counties, and finally in the general Zhang Ziyi's 100,000 troops suppressed to be able to quell the rebellion, the country has a family to contact the imperial court, want to ask the imperial court to lead the army to destroy Wu.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Taikang and Prince Kang Liang Shili, Prince Liang Kuan, Left Prime Minister Zhao Wuxu, Right Prime Minister Zhao Gang, Military Department Shangshu Xu Liang, Hubu Shangshu Yang Lin and so on.

Xu Liang said: Your Majesty, the 600,000 army has been gathered, well-trained and well-equipped, and can go south to destroy Wu in one fell swoop.

Yang Lin, a scholar of the Baohedian University and a scholar of the household department, said: Now the household department has 15 million yuan of money, 3 million quintals of grain, and 600,000 troops in the second half of the year, the supply of money and grain in the household department is sufficient, and it can be replenished after the autumn harvest.

Zhao Wuxu said: Wu has increased taxes three times in half a year, and the big families and ordinary people have complained, and they have prayed to the north that the imperial army will put down the rebellion and return the world to peace. At the same time, Wu experienced the Lotus Rebellion, a group of rabble but captured 60 counties in Sanzhou for 5 months, although Wu had 600,000 troops, but they were mostly ordinary people, and their combat power was insufficient.

Zhao Gang said: According to Luo Jinbao, the commander of Jinyiwei, the five major feudal kings all have the intention of uniting Wu to rebel, but at the moment they are not well prepared, especially after Jinyiwei destroyed as many as 180,000 armed forces of various factions in the rivers and lakes, they dare not act rashly.

Everyone said: Please make a decision as soon as possible.

Taikang Emperor Liang Kun said: Zuo Prime Minister Zhao Wuxu listens to the order, you sit in Beijing to assist the queen Yang Liu to supervise the country and deal with national affairs, important matters are raised by you, and the queen decides.

Zhao Gang, the right prime minister, Yang Lin, a scholar of the Baohe Temple and a scholar of the household department, listened to the order, you are responsible for mobilizing the supply of grain and grass, no matter what the war situation is, there must be a continuous supply of grain and grass.

Prince Kang Liang Shili listened to the order, and you served as the general of the former army, leading an army of 200,000 straight into Nanjing to attack the Zhuzhou County of Wu Guojing's division.

And Prince Liang Kuan listened to the order, and you served as the general of the left army, and the left led a large army of 100,000 to the south from the east, detoured through Jiangbei Prefecture, and after capturing Yuzhou and other prefectures and counties, attacked Nanjing City from the east.

Liang Dahai, the king of Chu County, listened to the order, and you served as the general of the right army, leading 100,000 troops to attack Chuzhou and other places from Huzhou and other places, and marching towards Nanjing City from the west.

Liang Dazhong, the king of Anjun, served as the general of the Chinese army, and Zhang Yu, the commander of the Left Guard Army, served as the general of the Chinese army, led an army of 100,000 to sit in the Chinese army, commanded the armies, and directly rushed to the aid of the front army, with a total of 500,000 troops of the four routes going south to destroy Wu. I drove the expedition in person and commanded the war in the Chinese army.

Yang Shun, the minister of the guard, was responsible for leading the Imperial Forest Army, the Left Guard Army, the Right Guard Army, the Nine Gate Armies and the Imperial Guards to protect the Beijing Division. Wei Wei, the left attendant of the military department, led an army of 50,000 troops to be stationed in the northeast of the Beijing division to prevent changes in the east and north of the town, and Liang Dashou, the commander of the flag country, led an army of 50,000 to sit in the northwest of the Beijing division to prevent the rebellion of the south and west of the town. At the same time, the commanders of all armies were notified to urgently prepare for war, and there should be no mistakes.

After Emperor Taikang finished speaking, everyone shouted Long live my emperor...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live.......

In the palace of King Wu, everyone discussed.

King Qiqi, Liang Kun Xiao'er has raised 500,000 troops, and attacked me in four ways, and my 600,000 army has been assembled, please show the king, Li Denggao, the right prime minister of Wu State, said.

Liang An, the king of Wu, said: The widow drove the expedition in person, personally led the army of 200,000 to resist the front army of the imperial court, and met my old immortal sixteenth uncle, the left general Jiang Kun, and the right general Wang Hu to accompany him.

Li Zhengzheng, the general of the Chinese army, obeyed the order, and you led 100,000 troops to defend the Xinyu defense line, and you must keep the imperial army out of Xinyu.

Wang Siwen, the general of the rear army, listened to the order, and you led an army of 100,000 to sit in Xijing, defend the Xijing defense line, kill him slowly, and block the imperial army from the Xijing defense line.

Chen Xiong, the minister of the guard, was responsible for commanding the armies in Nanjing and guarding the Beijing division to prevent changes in the domestic clans and lawless ministers.

Liu Ji, the prime minister of Zuo, was responsible for raising money and food supplies to ensure the needs of my war. At the same time, the right prime minister Wang Wu quickly sent people to contact the five major feudal kings or Nanzhao, Bohai, Xiqi and other countries, asking for reinforcements, and be sure to defeat the invading soldiers of the imperial court in one fell swoop.

The crowd chanted the king, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, you...... King Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose .......

In the big account of the Xia Army, Li An, the chief eunuch, stepped forward and said: Your Majesty, since ancient times, internal officials have not interfered in politics, but the old slave has something to do.

Tai Kangdi said: You said, I will not cure your sin, and if you are reasonable, you will be rewarded.

Li An said: The three-way army divided its troops to attack the rebels of Wu, presumably this Wu country has panicked, and the old slave is worried that Liang An, the king of Wu, will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he must contact Nanzhao, Xiqi, Bohai and other countries or the five major feudal kings. Trying to reinforce the troops and resist our summer soldiers, so the old slave suggested blocking the passage of Wu to various countries, and His Majesty could go to various countries in hand, in case the countries did not know the situation and then led the army to help Wu resist our Celestial Empire army.

Taikang Emperor Dao: What Gonggong Li said was extremely true, so he ordered the left and right to quickly send people to block the passages to various countries.

Father, the imperial army of 600,000 has gone south to attack Wu, my father had an appointment with the king of Wu before, and wanted to rebel in one fell swoop.

Wu Zichong said: No, according to the letter, saying that His Majesty has long known about our affairs, and is still ready, Zhang Kang, the commander of the army on the southwest road, and Liang Dashou, the Hou of Qi, have led an army of 150,000 to block our way, and it will be a dead end for us to lead the army.

Wu Xu said: Wu Guo was destroyed, and we will be next, so my father should have made a plan.

Wu Zichong said: We have 150,000 elite soldiers, we can fight, Your Majesty will definitely be greatly injured after destroying Wu, and I will quickly contact the other four major feudal kings to raise troops to rebel.

Rui'er, Xu'er, you and others quickly go to Nanzhao and Xiqi respectively, try to negotiate with the kings of the two countries, and when we wait for the army to rise, you can ask the two countries for support. After speaking, Wu Xu and Wu Rui were ordered to go separately.

Report...... Report...... Report, His Royal Highness Prince Qiyu, Wu Guoliang Anqin led an army of 200,000 to camp 30 miles away, intending to fortify here to resist the 200,000 troops of our front army.

Prince Kang Liang Shili said: Probe again, see when King Wu has been fortified, and what is the direction?

His Royal Highness Prince Qiyu, King Wu fortified for two days, garrisoned in the southeast direction, Dazhai has built a wall to defend, the wall is about four meters high.

Prince Kang smiled and said: It seems that this kid has won my true inheritance, and there will be a fierce battle this time. Come here, gather 20,000 sergeants, set off immediately, and try the knife first, who can lead the troops to battle.

A young general said: The last general, Li Chenglong, is now a fourth-grade soldier and is willing to lead the army.

Liang Shili, Prince Kang, said: Li Chenglong listened to the order and ordered you to be the commander of this battle, lead an army of 20,000 to take the lead, not to go deep alone, not to underestimate the enemy, advance quickly, Li Chenglong led 20,000 troops forward.

At night, Li Chenglong divided the 20,000 horses into four teams, each team of 5,000 people, the first team stepped forward, the second team and the third team followed closely in turn, when the war began, they could not fall in love with the war, just go with mud bags, and retreat quickly after dropping at the gate of the enemy village, so that the mud bags were thrown into the village again and again, and the intention was to fill in the place of the village, so as to facilitate the army to attack the enemy's walled gate.

The army of Wu did not dare to go forward to fight, and could only shoot arrows to kill, but it still could not resist the 20,000 troops led by Li Chenglong to throw mud bags or stones, although there were countless casualties, but for most of the day, Li Chenglong and others had raised the flat ground in front of Wu Dazhai more than three meters high, and the army could advance directly.

At this moment, Li Chenglong ordered the army to stop throwing mud bags or stones, but to reorganize the ranks, holding long swords and shields to kill Wu Dazhai. Li Chenglong and others were like a rainbow, breaking through the defense line of the Wu army in one fell swoop. King Wu was shocked, quickly mobilized heavy troops to block, and fought each other until dark on the second day, seeing that the Xia army could not go deep, Li Chenglong ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

In this battle, Li Chenglong tried his hand and killed more than 12,000 enemy soldiers, and the Xia army lost more than 5,000 people. Although it was a small victory, it had alarmed the Wu army and shocked the Wu army's spirit.

The last general Li Chenglong replied to the guilt, killed more than 12,000 enemies in this battle, lost more than 5,000 soldiers of our army, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince to surrender the crime, Li Chenglong knelt down and said.

Prince Kang said: General Li Chenglong is brave, leading the army in a good way, the tactics are proper, killing countless enemies, making great contributions, the king has reported to His Majesty for reward, the generals should take General Li Chenglong as an example, for His Majesty and the king to share worries, for the country, the soldiers said loudly: The last general will kill the enemy to serve the country, for Your Majesty and the king to share worries.

Prince Kang said: General Li Chenglong, please get up and give me a seat. Ladies and gentlemen, after this battle, the state of Wu will be frightened, and build a wall to block our advance, we need to set up camp here, confront it, and wait for it to show its flaws, and then we will attack with the whole army, annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, and you will quickly receive the order to go.

The king, this young general of the court swears to the death, he is a master who is not afraid of death, if the generals of the Xia army are like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win, Jiang Kun, the general of Wu Guozuo, said.

Wang Hu, the right general of Wu Guoyou, said: "King, in my opinion, from today onwards, we will order the whole army to build a high city wall to prevent the Xia army from attacking here.

Wu Wang Liang An said: Only in this way, you will order the whole army to fight early tomorrow morning, and at the same time raise the strength of the whole army to raise the gate of the village by five meters, I will see what the old immortal Prince Kang can do, he can step over.

Everyone received the order, and Wang Hu, the general of the right army, continued: Not only that, but the magistrates of nearby prefectures and counties can mobilize the young and strong people in the city to build a second line of defense fifty miles behind us, the city is more than 20 meters high, if there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, this line of defense is breached, we can retreat twenty miles to defend the city, report to the Wu country without worry, the Xia army comes from afar, as long as the reinforcements arrive, when the Xia army's food and grass supply is insufficient, we can lead the army to counterattack, and destroy the old thief of Liang Shili in one fell swoop.

King Wu said: This is very good, so he arranged for the guards to send a decree to the states and counties behind him, and summoned the people along the line to build the second and third lines of defense.

On the side of the Xia army, Emperor Taikang came to the front army and discussed with everyone: The Wu army has increased the height of the Zhaimen by ten meters, and it is difficult for our army to break through, I heard that the second line of defense has been built fifty miles behind the Wu army, the city is twenty meters high, and the third line of defense is being built one hundred miles away, and the army of our Celestial Dynasty has been confronting the Wu army for more than a month, and the left and right armies are also the same as the front army, the enemy is defending to the death, and setting up more defense lines to resist, for more than a month, except for Li Chenglong's original killing of more than 12,000 enemies, so far there has been no progress, I don't know what you think.

Everyone looked at each other

Prince Kang said: In my words, the Wu army set up more defense lines is a helpless move, but also the most jumpy method, Wu three times to increase taxes has made Wu Di Tian angry and resentful, he Wu Wang forced the people to build multiple defense lines of the huge project will inevitably cause the people of Wu to be dissatisfied. The old minister estimates that if this continues, the king of Wu will increase taxes and force taxes, so that the people of Wu will be miserable, and my army will press the border, and the army and people of Wu will inevitably change, and within three months, there will be changes behind the Wu army, and then we can capture Wu in one fell swoop, and please don't worry about Your Majesty.

After Prince Kang Liang Shili finished speaking, everyone said so.

Tai Kangdi said: This is the only way, the war is fought by the soldiers with their lives, the army and the people are united, and the grain and grass supply are fought, the army of our court has enough grain and grass, and there are many soldiers and generals, and the farmers and industrialists all support it, even if it is dragged to death by the king of Wu.

Your Majesty is wise, long live long live long live...... The crowd shouted.......

Wu Jun's tent,...... Report...... Report...... Reported, the minister Wang Wuyu reported to the king, the road to Xiqi, Nanzhao, Bohai and other countries has been heavily guarded by the Xia army, I can't wait, I can't go out, I can't go out to move the rescue troops.

King Wu Liang An sat down paralyzed: How did the five feudal kings react?

Wang Wu, the right prime minister of Wu State, said: You can't go, the road has been blocked, please ask the king to surrender.

Wu Wang Liang'an said: Wang Wu listens to the order, you quickly return to the palace, discuss with the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Zuo, and increase the tax by 30%, and increase the army by 100,000 to support us. It can be announced to the whole country that this increase in taxes will be tax-free for three years after the repulsion of the imperial army, and the two prime ministers on the left and right will be jointly responsible for tax collection and conscription, and there must be no mistake.

Wang Wu, the right prime minister of Wu State, was ordered to go.

The Xia army had a big account in front of the army, and Liang Shili, Prince Kang, said: Your Majesty, the spies came to report, King Wu ordered a tax increase of 30%, and after repelling the army of our Celestial Dynasty, it is tax-free for three years, it seems that this King Wu has nothing to do.

Emperor Tai Kangdi said: If he has half the talent of the emperor's uncle, if he had started to march north in June or August last year, then I would have become a prisoner of his subordinates, so everyone laughed.

Prince Kang said: This is all due to His Majesty's heavenly might, and the old minister does not dare to be arrogant.

Report...... Report...... The report ......, His Majesty, Prince Kang, and Liang Dahai, the king of Chu County, sent a war report, the army of the West Road has broken through the first line of defense of the Wu army, killed 70 enemy generals, killed 28,000 enemy troops, 32 generals and 11,000 soldiers of our army, the Wu army has retreated 50 miles into the second line of defense, and our West Road army has camped five miles away from the second line of defense and confronted the Wu army.

Emperor Taikang was overjoyed and said: This King of Chu County, Liang Dahai, is invincible, at that time, I was the first general of the Liang clan, and it seems that we are going to destroy Wu in advance. Continued: Wait for the hurry to go to the camp of the army on the West Road, tell Liang Dahai, the king of Chu County, that I will crown Liang Dahai as the prince, and the rest of the generals will be promoted to one level and retained, and they will quickly press forward and quickly destroy the defenders of Wu. After speaking, Emperor Taikang's side was ordered to go by the Sanpin Imperial Guard.

Prince Kang said: Your Majesty, there is a plan to shake the hearts of the Wu army and the people.

Tai Kandi said: Come on.

Prince Kang said: Your Majesty can order Zhao Wuxu, the prime minister of Zuo, to issue a decree to the whole land of Wu in the name of Zhongshu Province, after the destruction of Wu, the land of Wu will be tax-exempt for three years, and all officials and soldiers of Wu State will take the initiative to surrender and help our heavenly army destroy Wu, and there will be a heavy reward, and after the destruction of Wu, the official can be promoted to the third level in the original position to be retained. Those who give up resisting the army of our Celestial Empire will be regarded as innocent, if there is no need to resist, the day the city is broken, that is, the time of extermination, and the people of Wu will increase the tax by 30%. As soon as this edict came out, within ten days, when the army and people of Wu rebelled and surrendered, then our army pressed the border, and Wu could be destroyed.

Tai Kangdi said: There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there is an imperial uncle to assist, why worry about the unevenness of Wu, the summer is not prosperous. Come, according to what Prince Kang said, the original word of the 800-li expedited will not be omitted to report to Zhao Wuxu, the prime minister of the left, and then announce the decree to Wu Guo through the 800-li expedited document and oral transmission. At the same time, I would like to convey this intention to our army from all walks of life, and ask all the officers and men of the army to sing it to the Wu army and the people of Wu State, and there must be no mistake. And they were commanded to go.
