Dingzhou County has a total of eight counties, with a vast area and dense population, which is the first developed and most prosperous area in Dingzhou.

Not counting the Bei'an County that Zhou Bai worked hard to transform, the sum of the three counties of Longfeng, Ruinan, and Border City is not comparable to the value of Dingzhou County and one county.

This is also why Zhou Bai had to take Dingzhou County before he was willing to be further promoted to marquis.

Holding Dingzhou County and upgrading to the Hou State, the luck is determined and blameless, even if it is self-proclaimed, it is justifiable, and the people of Texas are recognized.

Due to the Dingguo defenders hanging the battle card, showing a blind posture of defending, after the Anbei army camp was built and the cavalry was deployed to defend the four gates, Zhou Bai ordered the division of troops to capture the southern area of Dingzhou County.

Li Dingguo led the selection of the front army, across thousands of miles, and directly took Nanding County, the southern gate of Dingzhou.

The border of Nanding County is adjacent to Daizhou, with the Dai River as the dividing line between the two states, and after taking Nanding, Li Dingguo will deploy the Dai River valley in time to ensure the smooth progress of the main force to capture Dingzhou City.

According to Dingguo's latest small court meeting, the news leaked by a certain high-level person, Lei Haomiao finally got Daxu's assistance.

Lending luck is one thing, and the other is that Daxu said that he moved two feudal states located in Daibei, Lin Hu and Lou Fu, who were willing to send troops to support Dingzhou County.

The price paid by Dingguo is naturally not small, not only to bear the application of friendly countries' troops, but also to cede the land of the two counties in the south of Dingzhou County.

This is a huge shame, but the country is gone, what is it to cede land and ask for soldiers.

Instead of focusing on the local area of Daizhou, he has to mix in the affairs of other states, and seek the near and far, regardless of the fundamentals.

Of course, this is also due to the chaotic separatist situation in Daizhou, and the actions of any one force may attract the siege of other forces.

The two feudal lords who are willing to send troops are only viscounts, and the combined territory does not have three counties.

Without considering the first casting of the state tripod and calling Wang Chenglong, it is not a way out to write the land and population of Dingzhou.

Daizhou was established before Dingzhou, and it has a long development time, but in terms of stability and prosperity, it is not necessarily comparable to Dingzhou.

In the vast desert Gobi, there are many thieves and horse bandits hidden, and it is a famous place in the north to hide dirt and dirt.

For the Daizhou forces in the neighboring Dingzhou County, this land is a blessed land like the south of the Yangtze River, and now it has the order of the suzerain, Lei Haomiao agrees, how can he let go of the great opportunity.

Anbei heard that it was very strong, but there was no concept after all, as a strongman who rose in the perennial turmoil, the monarchs of the two countries did not feel that they could not even hold it.

Yes, what they want is to eat the territory of the two counties first, and then make a show to echo the state army.

In the midst of the fire, the plan is good, but the execution is dumbfounded.

On March 12, 30,000 troops from Lin Hu and Lou Fu crossed the Dai River out of Daizhou.

On March 13, five military villages and market towns were ordered, and on the 14th, the troops were under the county seat of Nanding.

At this time, the defenders of Nanding County were less than 3,000, and there were few weak generals.

The Linlou coalition army said that Dinghou had ceded Nanding, but the defenders "didn't believe it" and immediately decided to hold on.

For the sudden arrival of foreign enemies, Nanding is united, and the powerful people in the city contribute to the effort.

Because in the previous decades, there were many wandering horse bandits and rebels in Daizhou who crossed the Dai River and plundered, and Nanding was particularly seriously attacked.

As a result, in the face of the fortified Nanding City, the Linlou coalition army hastily attacked for a day and a night, but never succeeded.

While they were waiting for the follow-up siege equipment, Li Dingguo led the Feng Forbidden Army to suddenly appear.

On March 16, a major battle broke out in the plain area between Nandingcheng and Daihe, with 10,000 forbidden troops in Anbei and 30,000 troops against the Linlou coalition army.

This battle was fought for three whole days, and Lin Hu and Lou Fu's soldiers were all elite, and they were also strong troops at the Daizhou level, and they were very arrogant.

Coupled with the experience of looting and fighting in the past, where would they think that 10,000 people could compare to their 30,000.

The martial arts style prevailed in Daizhou, and after the revival of the aura, there were many more soldiers in the army.

Similarly, as one of the five forbidden armies of Anbei, the Xuanfeng Army has not been defeated since its formation, and has made outstanding achievements.

After the change of the new military leader, the war of the southern conquest of the country was also very good, and the number of people in the army who were commended and waiting to be crowned national soldiers was in double digits.

From Dingzhou City to Nanding City, running thousands of miles, morale has not been attenuated in the slightest.

If you don't accept me, I don't accept you, naturally there is only a hard confrontation, a flesh-and-blood fight, which can best compete with the strength of both sides.

On the first day, the Xuanfeng Army gained the upper hand by virtue of the overall quality of the soldiers and the excellent military formation.

Killed 5,000 enemies, their own losses were less than 1,000, and more than 300 of them were seriously injured, all of which could be saved with the help of military doctors and Dao talismans.

With such a result, it stands to reason that the Linlou coalition forces should recognize the reality and retreat in time.

But out of unwillingness, disbelief, face and other factors, the top of the coalition decided to touch again.

The next day, the two sides fought again, and this time the Lin Lou coalition army was even worse defeated than the first day.

Because the Xuanfeng army got a night's rest, the state was more full, and then nearly 10,000 people of the Linlou coalition army were killed, and nearly half of its camps were broken.

Plunder is like fire, immobile like a mountain, difficult to know like yin, moving like thunder.

In the eyes of these Daizhou soldiers, the Xuanfeng Army can already be compared with the rumored Daxu New Army, and they are convinced and decisively admitted.

That night, the Lin Lou coalition army fled, and was expected by Li Dingguo, and successfully set up an ambush by the Dai River.

The battle lasted until dawn, and there were only 7,000 people left in the Xuanfeng army, and the Linlou coalition army that fled back to Daizhou was only 7,000 people.

After this battle, the strong and prestige of the Anbei Armed Army spread to Daizhou and even Lingzhou, setting off a more crazy wave of military training......

The current situation in Dingguo, of course, the people in power in Nanding County know it in their hearts, Lei Haomiao will come again to cut land and ask for troops, and the people's hearts will be lost.

After witnessing the ability of the Anbei Army to expel foreign enemies and defend the countryside, Nanding County naturally surrendered Kaicheng and was very cooperative.

During the period when Li Dingguo fought on behalf of the state soldiers and took Nanding County, generals Zhou Ping and Huang Jingtong were ordered to capture the two southern counties of Dingzhou County respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Andre performed well, and after winning the opportunity to lead the army alone, he also led Qingxu Yicong to successfully capture a county.

Seeing that Anbei is getting stronger and stronger, these extraterritorial troops are doing their best to get a household registration.

By March 21, the entire territory of Dingzhou County, except for the founding capital, had been captured by the Anbei Army.

As early as 18 March, the Navy Division had already received good news, and under the personal command of Liu Renliang, the remnants of the Dingguo Navy Division were all destroyed, and more than 50 fighting ships were captured.

Only a few small boats took advantage of the chaos to flee south.

This may exaggerate the true power of Anbei now in the Ningjiang River Valley, but Zhou Bai does not care about being hostile to other countries, the more stable and powerful Dingzhou is, the more people will come to trade and trade.

Dingzhou County, or all the most prosperous and profitable ports in the whole Dingguo, are now under the jurisdiction of the Anbeiguo City Shipping Division.

This is a new secretary set up by Zhou Bai, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and Zhou Rui is the first person to be promoted by Zhou Rui, Langzhong of the Ministry of Households.

He is responsible for inspecting the incoming and outgoing ships of cargo, requisitioning, extraction, and trade.

According to the information reported by Li Bao, it is estimated that there are 500,000 taels of silver from the seizures of the ports of Dingzhou County, and there are also hundreds of thousands of taels of goods.

The smoothness of the war actually exceeded the strategic expectations before the southern expedition, after all, at that time, even Zhou Bai wanted to take Ruinan County first, and then turn around to deal with Dingxi Kingdom.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Yuan stood up, repelled and curbed Lu Ding's ambitions.

Then Cai Feng's betrayal, his successful breakthrough to the Yang God, the welcome of the people of Dingguo, and the great victory in Chaojiaoxia paved the way, which led to the grand occasion of almost all of Dingdong.

Suddenly, there were eight more counties, and 1.5 million people had to govern them, and it became very difficult to implement the same national policy as Anbei in a timely manner.

This was determined by the fact that 50,000 militiamen and almost all reserve officers had been brought in under the condition of ensuring the security of the homeland.

In order to be able to control such a huge core area, Zhou Bai had to help the seedlings, and many township office clerks in Bei'an County jumped to official status.

Just receiving a salary, the chief or village chief who has no grade, because he understands the grassroots policies of Anbei and loyally supports it, can directly grant the position of commander and secretary.

The rapid integration of the system of Anbei into Dingzhou County, the penetration of 50,000 militiamen into the countryside and the establishment of the township bureau have caused many squires to be uneasy.

For this reason, even inside and outside the city of Dingzhou, there were soldiers confronting each other, and artillery and stone bombardment continued every day.

Zhou Bai's Chinese army camp was still very lively, and the squires, officials and generals from Dingzhou County and even Longfeng County were lined up to see him.

It is nothing more than a sign of loyalty and wants to take a reassuring pill, and Zhou Bai is now willing to cooperate.

At the tentacles of the Anbei system, when he had not yet fully controlled the entire region of the original country, he was not in a hurry to cut off this stubble of leeks.

After the capture of Dingzhou City, Anbei was upgraded to Hou State, and the country became more and more stable.

If these people still can't recognize the reality and try to have the same treatment as the meritorious nobles of Anbei, then they can only be said to be hopeless.

At that time, even if it is completely cut, it will not cause any turmoil.

On March 23, Zhou Bai unexpectedly refused to meet the guest, not because he felt that the time was ripe for a general attack, but because he wanted to meet another guest.

Half a month ago, Shaoyuan Zhenjun met him on the way to Dingzhou City.

It's not a fight, it's just a meeting, and the two sides are friendly and "consult" with each other.

When he was surprised to find that Zhou Bai was the new Yang God, and his divine sense was enough to suppress him, Shao Yuan chose to follow Zhou Bai's advice.

Go to the four counties of Anbei and walk around by yourself from beginning to end, whether it is the newly won Ruinan County, or the longest-governed foundation, Bei'an County.

Wondering if he can make Dingzhou rise and bring glory to this land, Zhou Bai can only invite him to travel north.

No matter how much you say, no matter how good the results and data listed are, it is not as good as going to the people to see it in person.

……

Outside the city of Dingzhou, Xinglong Lake, the legendary place of Dingzhou dragon.

The sun is dappled, the lake is sparkling, the mountains are reflected in the center of the lake, and the blue water melts gilded blue.

This scene, like a paradise, beautiful and poetic, it is no wonder that Lei Haomiao listed this place as a private garden, and no one was allowed to play here.

In the bamboo forest by the lake, in the quiet bamboo pavilion, Zhou Baizheng and the white-haired Shaoyuan Zhenjun played a game and drank tea, and practiced the elegant things of the literati.

"I didn't expect to solve the yuan in Dingzhou, and in the next game of chess, I actually played three spoonfuls in a row, which stinks even more than the old man." Shao Yuan seized Zhou Bai's mistake and slaughtered Dalong directly, laughing and laughing.

Zhou Bai moved his gaze back from the terrain of Xinglong Lake to the chessboard, and shook his head helplessly: "I haven't played for many years, my skills are not as good as others, and I am ashamed." ”

"Do you feel that the old man has no sense of accomplishment, or is he distracted from watching the anger of Xinglong Lake?" Shao Yuan picked up the bamboo leaf tea and took a sip gently.

Zhou Bai once again pulled his gaze to the hazy Xinglong Lake, and sighed: "I can't hide anything from Zhenjun, I am really watching the qi." ”

"This place is surrounded by dragons, but there is no dragon energy at all. The direction of the feng shui qi veins of Xinglong Lake was also the place where the young dragons were raised, and there were several hidden tombs, but even a dragon could not be conceived. ”

In fact, this is asking Shao Yuan, after all, he has been in Dingzhou for many years, and if there is really a hidden dragon in Xinglong Lake, it is impossible not to know.

Shao Yuan hesitated slightly, paused, but quickly said bluntly: "The lords of these tombs were all important ministers of the state during their lifetimes, and they were high and powerful, and Lei Haomiao's ancestor was just the most inconspicuous one. ”

"When he was alive, he was loyal, and when he died, he didn't care about it, he wanted to benefit the descendants of the family, and tried to win the position of a thousand-year-old family. They also didn't want to think about how the imperial court could sit idly by and watch such an obvious place of prosperity. ”

"There is actually no problem with the construction and burial method of the dragon tomb, but a certain inner worshipper of the imperial court has made a few strokes of feng shui, so that these dragon tombs will naturally squeeze the qi veins of Xinglong Lake, and it will not be able to accumulate a lot of dragon qi."

In Shao Yuan's telling, Zhou Bai also found those extremely obscure feng shui disorders in due time under several observations of Wangqi.

As soon as a trace of dragon qi was generated, it was immediately shattered by the momentum of feng shui and returned to the land of Dingzhou.

Zhou Bai vaguely understood why Shao Yuan was a little hesitant, I was afraid that the worship who made the offer was not only the Yang God.

"Obsessed with the Hidden Dragon Luck, but in the end it was nothing, and he could only rely on the Daxu Dragon Luck to establish the country, no wonder at this time, he still put hope on Daxu."

Zhou Bai stretched out his hand to shoot through a bamboo leaf, and in the hollow of the bamboo leaf, he showed the magnificence of Dingzhou City more than ten miles away.

The pillar of heaven is rotten and sloping, and the army of Anbei besieging the city outside gathers countless soldiers and soldiers, cutting off the last support of the pillar of heaven with one sword.

Obviously, the country is about to die, and at the latest half a month, this Dingzhou city will be broken.

What is the day of half a month, it is the day when the treasury reserves are exhausted, and it is precisely because of the existence of the big array that Zhou Bai did not order to launch a real offensive.

However, it is this kind of scene of the death of the country that anyone can see, but there is red luck that permeates the inside and outside of the city, inspiring the last blood courage of the soldiers.

Zhou Bai even showed Shao Yuan the scene of Lei Haomiao in the palace city, personally training five thousand janissary guards, which made his expression complicated, shaking his head and sighing.

This means to tell you that Lei Haomiao knows all the arrangements and is fully prepared.

"Please, Zhenjun may really have a trick with Lonely, and it can be regarded as a send-off for Dingguo......"
