Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Capture of the Three Cities
Explosions, fires, ruins, wailing everywhere......
The sight of the night was so shocking that even the accustomed to killing would be brutal to see it.
What's more, Xia Yan, a person who came from a peaceful world.
Early the next morning, after retching for a long time, the big picture was decided.
Su Ming was killed on the spot, and the former prince Su Xuan, who was in the dungeon, took the opportunity to take control of the government and fled to the north with the remaining remnants.
Nirvana City, the original capital of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom, has also officially become the territory of Great Xia.
In Xia Yan's wishes, it may be time to stop here, and continuing to go deeper is not a good thing for Great Xia, but it may lead to the expansion of battle damage due to the long supply line.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xia Yan is no longer willing to see such a scene.
At this moment, Su Xuan, the new lord of the Divine Phoenix who was on the run, sent a letter to Xia Yan, expressing his hope to reconcile with Great Xia.
Xia Yan and Huo Qubing both knew that although the Shenhuang Kingdom was a little embarrassed at the moment, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.
In the north of the Shenhuang Kingdom, there are still 500,000 elite soldiers stationed, and the overall strength of the Shenhuang will still not lose to Great Xia, but Su Xuan put his posture in the letter.
He blamed all the blame on his younger brother Su Ming, and said that the Shenhuang Kingdom was willing to reconcile with Great Xia.
And every year, the Great Xia Dynasty will pay tribute to the silver.
The meaning is also very clear, the three cities will not think about going back anymore, they just hope that now Daxia can stop fighting.
In terms of region, in fact, the current Shenhuang Kingdom is still larger than Great Xia, but it is only because of the war in the north that it has stumped.
But even so, it was the first time that a more powerful empire paid tribute to a weaker empire.
Although everyone, including Xia Yanhuo, knows that someone who can endure like this must be a big hidden danger.
But for Xia Yan, his goal has been achieved, and continuing to continue is tantamount to increasing the killing, so he acquiesces in reconciliation.
"The three cities of Nanhuang, Tianhua, and Nirvana will be under the jurisdiction of the Wolf King (Huo Quai) from today onwards, and the people of these three cities also need the Wolf King, so they must let this place return to its former prosperity."
After saying this, Xia Yan didn't wait for Huo Qu's illness to recover, so he stroked his chest and left silently.
He is not going to go to the Xidan battlefield again, and this kind of thing is indeed not suitable for him.
After all, after really experiencing it himself, he knew that with his own knowledge, even if he came to the battlefield, it would not be of any use.
His greatest role may be to try to provide the most thoughtful military support for the soldiers when they go out to fight.
After returning to Lake City, Xia Yan lay in bed for more than ten days without getting up.
The scenes in Nirvana City are so shocking that it takes some effort to digest them.
During this period, Su Yue also asked Xia Yan more than once what happened in Nirvana City, but Xia Yan avoided the topic in other ways.
Of course, although Xia Yan did not go to the court, it does not mean that the court will stop working.
Due to the increase in the number of cities, today's court is no longer as standard as when I was in Nanling, and I went home after the last morning's shift.
Now, all officials are required to go to work at the hour (7:00-9:00), and even if they do not go to court, they all need to handle government affairs in the council hall.
If you go to the court, you don't have to run away from the court, but you need to work until at least 17:00-19:00 before you can run.
In this way, the efficiency of affairs in the court has been greatly improved, and it is much easier for Xia Yan to gather if he encounters any emergency.
During this time, Father-in-law Luo was able to be buried with the specifications of the Duke of Guo.
At the same time, a large-scale post-sealing ceremony was held for Su Yue.
Su Yue was wearing a phoenix shawl and a phoenix crown on her head, looking so solemn and decent, with that flawless face, everyone in the world praised her endlessly.
However, when everything was going in reverse direction to perfection, the news from the garrison in the direction of Xidan broke this perfection.
There are now less than thirty days left before the mission, but the four cities that need to be captured in the plan have only captured the weakest of them, Jinshui City.
The second city was cast of bronze and could not be conquered.
This gave Xia Yan a headache, and he hurriedly sent people from the East Factory to investigate the reason.
Within two days, Xia Yan learned the real reason.
It turned out that because of the birth of the household department and the relationship between the official and the university, all the materials produced by the household department must first be "tested" by He Shen.
What's even more terrifying is that not only the grain, grass and materials and Shen have to be inserted together, but even the weapons and equipment and military supplies and silver have to profit from it.
As a result, Jiang Han's arrows, which were supposed to be in the hands of the soldiers, became ordinary rusty iron arrows.
Not to mention piercing into other people's armor, even some people with slightly stronger bodies can't penetrate it.
This is especially true of the spears, which are all rusty and unfinished, which leads to a significant reduction in the military strength of the front.
If it weren't for the siege vehicle that Xia Yan brought to Zhuge Liang at the beginning in the army, he wouldn't even be able to capture the first weakest Jinshui City this time.
Zhuge Liang, as the commander of the Xidan garrison, naturally knew the danger, so he wrote to Xia Yan several times in the hope of improving the situation.
But who would have thought that He Shen, who was the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, directly withheld all the front-line folding envelopes.
As a result, the front line is getting more and more difficult, but Heshen is getting richer and richer.
After learning of such a result, Xia Yan was also speechless.
Now that I've hit a hard bone, what should I do?
According to the agreement, he can't stand up and Shen and can't punish Heshen, because this thing was drawn by himself to punish him.
However, who TM can withstand such a play, and he can't bear it if he continues to play like this!
So, in desperation, Xia Yan could only ask Huo Quai, who was also in the north, for help.
Nowadays, many of the five cities that Huo Qubing has crowned as kings are in a state of ruin, except for Kecheng, so rebuilding their homes is the most important thing for Huo Quai's soldiers.
On the contrary, weapons and equipment are not the most important.
So Xia Yan had no choice but to write to Huo Qubing to explain the situation briefly, and said that Huo Qubing could transport the weapons and equipment of the Shenhuang Kingdom captured this time to Zhuge Liang, the Xidan garrison.
Xia Yan believes that as an S+ courtier, Huo Quai, it is absolutely impossible to let the life and death of the same Great Xia army go unchecked for some weapons and equipment.
Even if you can't do your best and die, you will definitely not spoil the country's major affairs for the sake of small equipment.
These pieces of his equipment will definitely be sent to Zhuge Liang's hands.
