From the land of the three counties to the land of the six counties, it only took a few months, and the rapid expansion rate caused the foundation of Great Xia to be a little unstable.

It is to stabilize people's hearts by means such as Zhou Baicai's need to establish a successor, posthumously seal the ancestors, and upgrade the blessed land, and at the same time supplement various major policies for recuperation and recuperation, digest the territory and population, and stimulate the explosion of national strength.

Of course, this will take time.

After returning to Cangbei and strongly curbing the southward movement of the Jin State, Cangbei needed to be heavily garrisoned, and it was not realistic to use troops on the Western Front on a large scale.

In the entire three years of Tongzhi, the Xia State's attack on Dingxi did not reach the level of destroying the country.

In the direction of the border city under Zhou Yuan's command, he advanced five hundred miles, and had just broken through the northern defense line of Dingxi and captured three county seats.

At present, the Dingxi Army is relying on Pinghe County and many military forts and ravines to confront the Xia Army, and it will take at least a year to completely take Pinghe County without increasing troops.

Although the Great Xia Ningjiang Naval Division carried out many landing operations on the banks of the Dingxi River, the results achieved were limited to capturing the port and abolishing the Dingxi Naval Division.

With the advantage of the water division, the Xia army could give the western kingdom regular bloodletting, but it could not inflict a fatal blow.

The trench along the river is simply Lu Ding's perfect interpretation of the strategy of clearing the wilderness.

Before the attack was not carried out with the strength of the country, Dingxi was indeed able to support it, and in order to delay the arrival of the day of annihilation, he would do whatever it takes.

Zhou Bai set up an engineer battalion in the army, and Lu Ding formed a master's army of more than 100,000 people, stationed between the boundary trenches for a long time, constantly digging and building fortifications.

There are many complaints in the country, and the people are detached from morality?

Lu Ding didn't care at all, anyway, he was ready to move south to Daizhou to find a way out.

When he returns to Dingzhou in the future, if he is kind to those untouchables, he will naturally forget his mediocrity.

As the only concubine of the Lu family in Dingzhou who can get to the edge of the family, and at the same time as a hidden dragon, Lu Ding is a political creature with qualified standards and a real only husband.

He understands very well the "kindness" of the people at the bottom, and as long as the upper level has a little favor, he can win the support of the people.

From September 1 to September 7 in the third year of Tongzhi, there were continuous starfalls and blood rains from the sky, which made people frightened and uneasy.

But when the vision was gone, how ordinary people should live or how they should live was not affected.

In the last years of Xiangxing, warships were in the sky, hundreds of ghosts traveled at night, and natural disasters occurred frequently......

Who hasn't experienced this kind of calamity in the past?

Now that the demons from outside the territory have not invaded, and the disaster of earthquakes, floods and droughts has not yet come, people in a chaotic world are naturally living their own lives, and they can't hide when it's time to go through the calamity.

In the words of many people, the sky fell, and there were tall ones on top.

But they don't know it, and the tall men of the world don't know the inside story, because that's a matter of heaven and beyond the realm.

The Xia court continued to operate as usual, and since the destruction of the country, the national policy of recuperation has been implemented for nearly two years, and the six counties have formed a whole.

The national strength has risen sharply, and the national fortune pillar has increased to eighteen zhang, and it is also second to none in the entire northern border, and it is a famous prince.

In fact, according to the current system of Xia Guo, it will definitely be better if it is stable for another two years.

The import of grassland meat, the expansion of military training, various water conservancy and road administration projects, the increasing grain production, and the popularization of spiritual rice and wheat......

Even said that martial arts and immortals, the two extraordinary powers have developed in the long term under the supervision of the imperial court, and there are more than 100 new innate martial artists and initiation monks.

The Daolu Division has completed the establishment of sub-offices in various places, and the talent exchange system between the "sects" and the Daolu Division has been initially established, and the first martial arts in Daxia has been put on the agenda......

Within two years, the national fortune pillar will inevitably increase to 20 zhang, or it can catch up with the strongest principalities in the world, such as Qi, Wu, and Shu.

But Zhou Bai looked at the starry sky and felt the aura of catastrophe surging in the air, and he knew that time was running out.

Thousands of meteors are thousands of true immortals who died outside the territory, and the star imprint imprinted in the Tianyuan Realm returned to nothingness, and the casualties of this battle were no less than the first raid on Qingxu.

And the blood rain of seven days and seven nights has damaged two and a half saints, or is it a certain heavenly emperor?

Ancient history records that the death of the saint will cause the world to mourn together, and the blood rain will fall for three days and three nights.

What kind of person it must be for seven days and seven nights, Zhou Bai couldn't imagine, and extremely terrifying thoughts appeared in his heart, but he quickly shook his head to rule it out.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Five Directions, each of them is a peerless powerhouse with the hope of a Dao Ancestor, ranking above the saints, and a creature on whom the will of the Heavenly Dao depends.

If there is really a fall of the Emperor of Heaven, there should be no blood rain and no sorrow.

Zhou Bai is very familiar with the blood rain of seven days and seven nights, the last time the Qingxu Half-Saint fell, the blood rain lasted for a day and a night, and there was no sadness.

Perhaps, this time it was also Qingxu or some otherworldly power, which fell within the Tianyuan Realm?

Heavenly Court can't be contacted, the communication of the Heavenly Monument and the Heavenly Disc is in a blocked state, and the luck of all the countries in the world is interrupted, and something big must have happened in the thirty-third day.

This year, the annexation wars in various places were already very fierce, and now there is no need to supply luck, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will always be weak.

Some "small landlords" who have seized several counties naturally cannot stand alone, and almost every day they hear the news of the destruction of the country and the demise of the nation.

This phenomenon is even more obvious in the north, for example, the six princes of Lingzhou have now destroyed all opposition forces on the surface, and it only takes a period of integration to recast the state ding.

For example, Liaodong and Dingzhou, like Dingzhou, only the last two princes remained, and all the remaining small countries were annexed.

In Liangzhou, Zhao Qi tried to regain the lost territory after the defeat of the Jin State at the Xia State, but he still could not defeat the Jin Cavalry in several field battles, and had no choice but to retreat back to Xiyuan County.

Later, the three iron mines at the junction of Dingliang were attached, as well as countless treasures as luxury dowries, and Zhao Ci was married to Zhou Bai.

The sincerity of the apology was enough, Zhou Bai didn't think too much, and the marriage was successfully completed.

Xia Liang became a country of in-laws, and both parties benefited, at least on the surface, the relationship was very stable.

In a short period of time, the Jin State did not attack the Liang State to the south again, and did not dare to easily step into the Cangbei grassland.

Zhao Qi was able to withdraw his hand and continue the great cause of the unification of Liangzhou, located in the Xia Kingdom across the state border, and you can see the beacon fires burning from time to time there.

There is also the chaotic Daizhou, and the expansion trend of Lin Hu and Lou Fu Liang Guo has stagnated sharply, only because of Lu Ding's intervention.

At the beginning, it was just a little temptation at the border, and then it was openly and honestly bought the local tyrants in Yichuan County, and then occupied the territory under various banners.

On September 11, the third year of Tongzhi, not long after the starfall blood rain, Lü Ding personally led troops to reinforce the front line, annexed Yichuan County next door to Yongquan County in one fell swoop, and announced that Dingxi Kingdom was officially based on Daizhou.

The momentum was violent, which caused many heroes in Daizhou to look sideways, and it was a bloody battle.

Even if Heavenly Court lost contact and did not promote the development of the general trend for the time being, the Hidden Dragon Masters, who were pervasive and were under the care of the will of humanity, would not let go of the calm period before the storm.

Building a high wall and accumulating grain is the right way, but when the time comes, it must not be missed.

Even if it is the first to occupy a state, it will become a loss for all the northern countries, and the general attack on Dingxi must begin.

If you want to be a prince, you have to show strong strength and be recognized by the princes.

Taoguang is obscure, and the dynasty in the ordinary world is in troubled times, it may be to recuperate and recuperate, waiting for the pseudo-dragon to be the king pioneer.

But in the troubled times of the Tianyuan Continent, if you don't advance or retreat, if you don't grasp the sky, you may have to fall behind, and you can only achieve a pseudo-dragon.

After the defeat of Huyanhe Cangbei, there was no movement for a whole year, all the energy was focused on the country, and the battle was not less, but they were all killed by their own people.

On September 15, the third year of Tongzhi, Zhou Bai held a military parade in the capital, and there were many main forces, just because after the parade, they would start immediately.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the autumn breeze blows, Xiahou Zhou Bai takes Yu Yueyun and hundreds of civil and military officials to climb the outer city tower.

All of them were dressed in coronabrasial robes of the corresponding level, and their demeanor was solemn, and after their eyes scanned the outside of the city, they showed extremely shocked expressions.

The spirit of the soldiers gathered into swords and guns, the flags covered the sun, and the number of the head of the battalion was fully displayed in the national vision today.

Ten zhang wide, ten miles long

The hardened section of the road is the parade ground.

Except for the city tower occupied by the monarchs and ministers of the Xia Kingdom, the entire outer city allowed the people to come up, and the magnificent military parade scene greatly improved their self-confidence.

In the distance, the sound of a horn heralds the beginning of the parade, and the sound of a powerful snare drum invigorates people's hearts.

Thousands of troops and horses, divided into phalanxes, murderous, military morale.

"Defend the country, be invincible, and conquer everything...... Tiger!"

"I'm Daxia, mighty!"

Under the loud slogans, the guards and pro-army phalanx, the forbidden army phalanx, the garrison army phalanx, and the militia phalanx passed in turn, and finally the cavalry was dressed in iron armor, holding long iron spears and war horses, and the momentum was overwhelming.

High-powered weapons such as counterweight catapults, dragon crossbows, and bed crossbows, as well as heavy equipment such as battering rams, were also placed in an orderly manner behind the formation, making it daunting.

Winter, winter, winter~

Every Xia pawn will beat the iron armor on his chest, salute Zhou Bai and Yu Yueyun, and salute the civil and military officials and citizens who watched the ceremony.

"Oh, Great Xia! Great Xia! Great Xia!"

The enthusiastic people began to chant in unison, their self-confidence swelled unprecedentedly, and they were proud of being a Xia person.

"I have such a common people and such a strong teacher in Great Xia, why can't I unify Dingzhou, why can't I build a great cause!" Chen Zhongbang, who has always been in charge of internal affairs, also sighed with emotion after watching the military parade.

Zhou Bai returned the salute seriously towards the militia phalanx that was stepping over, and then smiled and bowed slightly: "These two years of recuperation have not been in vain......

Lou Jinpeng replied in a timely manner: "Back to the prince, at present, there are more than 300,000 soldiers in the army, including 10,000 guards, 70,000 forbidden troops, 200,000 garrison troops, and 20,000 horse troops."

"In this Dingxi Campaign, a total of 50,000 forbidden troops, 100,000 garrison troops, 10,000 horse troops, and 100,000 militia were mobilized, totaling 260,000 troops."

The appearance of this military parade is definitely not the whole team, Lou Jinpeng's words are not only to report to Zhou Baiyu, but also to inform the cabinet and various ministries.

Great Xia's family foundation is already very strong, don't think about the conservative and stable strategy, we have the strength and ability to control more territory and population.

The military generals naturally supported this mobilization, but there was still a lot of controversy within the court and among the people.

Many ministers, gentry and ordinary people think that since the effect of recuperation is good, why not slow down, the strength is stronger, and the Dingxi is bulldozed in one fell swoop.

The current majestic military parade has also dispelled the concerns of the opposition and the neutrals, and they will do their best to cooperate in the future.

Though the kingdom is great, the belligerent will perish.

Although this sentence is reasonable, Zhou Bai doesn't want his subjects to remember it, and he even wants the soldiers, courtiers, and people to be happy when they hear the war.

The Great Xia he established will not have too many battles to fight in the future.

"Husband, everyone, my Great Xia military parade is not limited to the city." Seeing that everyone thought that the parade was about to end, Yu Yueyun pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the distant sky.

I saw a number of Taoist officials roaring over, some riding the clouds and riding the wind, some of the imperial swords, some of the imperial envoys of all kinds of magic weapons, and a large flying boat at the back, carrying dozens of first-realm Taoist officials.

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't expect that the Daolu Division would really buy back a troop transport flying boat from the side of the Central Domain, which had considerable strategic value.

And with the capabilities of today's engineering institutes, there are only samples, and it is only a matter of time before a follow-up flying boat is built.

In the eyes of the people, the Taoist officials are like immortals in the sky, performing gorgeous Taoism one by one and creating all kinds of auspicious visions.

Chen Zhongbang and other civil officials were a little surprised, and they had now entered the Tao.

As the country grows stronger and stronger, the pressure on them from the Great Xia Dragon Qi and the French Open will become smaller.

The addition of the corresponding level of national fortune not only has the effect of nourishing the natal life and boosting the spirit and spirit, but now the speed of cultivation of officials in the system has long exceeded that of loose cultivators and sectarian monks outside the system.

If someone told you before that the high-ranking Taoist officials should obey the command of the imperial court and participate in the military parade, even when Daxu was at his strongest

, and will only think of you as crazy.

But in Great Xia, the facts are in front of you.

Even these Taoist officials will not be ashamed of performing tricks to please the people, they will only feel joy.

The military parade has a good effect, and the Daolu Division will remember the merits.

Nowadays, most of the Taoist officials in Great Xia are held by some elders, and if the monks of Dingzhou County want to obtain the establishment, they must first go to Tianya Pavilion and even the major sects to serve.

It turned out that unconsciously, Great Xia was no longer an ordinary country in the past.

……

Then Zhou Bai personally went to the Ningjiang Navy Division Base for a military parade, this time he brought the guards and the army, and the five thousand demons that belonged directly to him were sent to Cangbei by him.

With such a big matter as the unification of Dingzhou, Hu Yanhe will find a way to interfere no matter what.

Three days later, the news that Daxia raised an army of "300,000" and attacked in multiple ways also spread in Dingxi.

At this time, the backbone of Lu Ding, even stabilized the situation in Yichuan County, Daizhou, and the soldiers who should be used should be used, and the heroes who should be met should be received.

It is not so easy for a small country to gain the recognition of Daizhou.

Being able to gain a foothold in a short period of time was the deterrence of nearly 100,000 troops in Dingxi, as well as the continuous flow of materials from Dingzhou, which won the hearts of some people.

On 15 September, tens of thousands of troops landed along the coasts of Pinghe, Xingyun, and Yongquan counties under the repeated transportation of the naval division.

On September 20, Zhou Yuan, who was supported by the soldiers of the forbidden army, broke through the county seat of Pinghe in one fell swoop.

On September 30, Zhou Bai led his army to break through the defense belt along the river in Xingyun County, and attacked the capital of the western country on both sides with the Xia army on the western front.
