The strategy of the arrogant soldiers to feint defeat is not very clever, it is nothing more than Huang Jingtong knows himself and the enemy, and uses the arrogant and arrogant character of the Yuguan generals to understand that the excellent quality of the Xia army will not turn from feint defeat to real defeat.

However, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, and Huang Jingtong, who practices this, can already be called a general.

On this day, there was a river of blood outside Yuguan, and tens of thousands of Qin troops with high morale were slaughtered by the Xia army in the field, and there was no power to resist.

The bloody wolf smoke covered the sky, and on the endless wilderness, Yan Jian and other generals looked at the army formation that had completely routed and was unable to return to the sky, how could the defeated dog that fled suddenly become a fierce and bloodthirsty tiger?

Yuguan fell, Yan Jian led the remnants of the army to flee for their lives, and finally was awarded the head under the pursuit of the cavalry.

Then Huang Jingtong led the army commander to drive straight in, all the way to the county seat did not enter, seeing that Haoqiangwu Fort was not broken, he directly killed Hongyan County.

Yan Jian and other generals threw the heads of the school and many Qin army flags into the city, and the people of the county were shocked, and the people were panicked and opened the city gate by the inner guard arranged by Xuanyiwei.

In less than half a month, the former army of the Xia State captured a dangerous pass and swept a county, Qinzhou was shaken, and Huang Jingtong became famous in this battle.

Hongyan County is named after the red rocks that can be seen everywhere, just like the red mud township where Zhou Bai was born.

Most of the land in these areas is barren and difficult to cultivate, and water sources are quite scarce, making it difficult for the population to multiply on a large scale.

The internal consensus in Qinzhou is that Hongyan County is the border county and military state, and no one is willing to take over, and it is often the state government and the imperial court that are bleeding and supplied.

Walking on the road of Hongyan County and looking around at the world, it is rare to see patches of forests, and when the wind blows, it is full of dust and sand, which can't help but make Zhou Bai sigh that Qinzhou is like a blank piece of paper, which can be painted at will.

It is not that Qinzhou has a good environment, but that the situation of some counties is vast and sparsely populated, and there will be abundant in the future in terms of large-scale planting agricultural reform pilots, industrial park construction, and military merit field rewards.

But no matter what, there are 500,000 people in Hongyan County, and there are 100,000 young and strong people who can be recruited.

In the land of the eight counties of Qinzhou, the plain terrain occupies more than sixty percent, and there are mountains, rivers and lakes between the counties, so Qinzhou has often been a place of frequent wars since the establishment of the state.

The plain in the center of the county is a grain-producing area, and the county border is shielded by natural hazards, and many heroes and dragons will start from Qinzhou, so that they can safely survive the weak period ahead.

It's just that Daxu once encountered an unprecedented catastrophe, and the Qingxu Great World, which had exhausted the vitality of the realm, invaded with the power of the whole world, trying to occupy the magpie's nest.

The Heavenly Court needs the new Dynasty Ancestral Dragon to regain its luck, and the Heavenly Emperors vainly want to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the Dao Ancestor, so the Great Glory World, which can still barely maintain for decades, will collapse.

Overnight, dragons and snakes arose, and the situation changed, making the development of the situation in the world completely different from the previous last dynasty.

Daxu adopted the strategy of Zongxu's feudal state, hoping to renew the Mandate of Heaven, and at the same time bury nails in a few important positions outside the Central Domain to delay the development of the Four-Horned Hidden Dragon.

Just like Qinzhou is isolated outside the Xishu Basin, occupying the main road out of Xishu is the best choice to hold the Shu dragon.

As a result, the central court spent a great deal of money to maintain control of Qinzhou, and the entire Western Shu and northern borders as well as the state pastor of Qinzhou were also Qinzhou.

But the dragon qi in the world has already flourished, and the general trend of devouring each other and fighting in the four fields will not be transferred by the will of Emperor Daxu.

In the early stage, relying on force could forcibly suppress the Qinzhou careerists, but it became more and more difficult for the imperial court to support, and a single state could not afford to raise a huge and elite border army, and most of them were transferred to the central region to form a new army.

In fact, the resource population of such an enclave as Qinzhou, the Zhongzhou Imperial Court did not feel much distressed when it was abandoned, but the basic goal of curbing the dragon in Xishu must be achieved.

The Western Shu, which was isolated from the outside world, was really uncontrollable, and the Zhongzhou court imposed a feudal envoy on the big hao who showed signs of rebellion, and Qinzhou still embarked on the road of secession.

Now the only ones that the Qinzhou Prefecture can actually control are Jincheng County and Beiyan County, that is, the strongest warlords, and the rest are all nominal control.

The geographical separation of the eight counties has raised irrepressible ambitions, and the local tyrants rely on it, and the stalemate and chaos in the past ten years have made the people struggling to make a living.

The Qinzhou Prefecture and the warlords from all over the country panicked and feared that Huang Jing captured Hongyan County in half a month, which meant that the Xia army had no losses, and the local resources could be used as military supplies.

With Hongyan County as the backing, the Xia army can slowly figure it out, and if there is no flaw in the military strategy, then the chance of Qinzhou holding it is too small.

If it is said that Dingxia defeated Liangzhou, it just made the forces of Qinzhou uneasy, after all, there are eight counties to rely on, and one county and one county are enough to consume the Xia Kingdom.

After Zhou Bai was promoted to the king of the two states in the north, the forces of Qinzhou only had a sense of invincibility against Great Xia, and no one dared to say that they would fight a protracted war of attrition.

It is not the personal strength of Zhou Bai to kill all the ministers when he became king, but the overall national strength that a kingdom should have.

Today, there are only a few independent kingdoms, such as Wu, Yue, Zhao, and Qi, all of which are famous and subdued half or even one region.

The two northern states can be kings, what is this concept, and how can it be unclear as a warlord with rich roots.

Only when the Xia State is under great rule, can the national strength of food, population, and armament meet the standards can be upgraded, no matter how Zhou Bai does it, this is hard power.

The last time the king of the north had to chase the last three generations of the criminal dynasty, there was no Dingzhou at that time, Qinzhou was occupied by Qianlong Han, and after ten years of operation, it swept the four states of Ling, Dai, Tong and Liang, and then called the king of Qin in the place of five states.

It can be said that in addition to the more bitter cold Liangliao region, Han Yue occupied all the essence of the northern territory before he succeeded in becoming king.

If it is more true, Qinzhou, which started by Han Yue, is only geographically divided into the north, and the administrative division is actually in Xishu, not the big dragon raised in the north.

……

Yuguan was broken, Hongyan County was relied on, and the Xia army entered the interior of Qinzhou, and it was no surprise that the overall situation would be decided.

At the beginning of November, Qinzhou was covered with snow, and King Xia and the Chinese army camped into Hongyan County.

The heroes of Qinzhou, who knew the principle of survival in troubled times and did not have the courage to build a country and stand on their own, rushed to hear the news.

Even Zhujiedu, who was nominally a subordinate of the Daxu Imperial Court, did not dare to slack off, and sent monks and envoys to visit him with gifts.

A random general with 50,000 men can penetrate the border pass and Hongyan County, how can they still see the situation clearly.

The sooner they come and the more resources they invest, the more secrets they are likely to seek.

For example, King Xia's attitude towards the warlords of Qinzhou, is it a whale swallow or a slow appeasement?

Negotiations are divided into cooperation, peace, surrender, etc., and Qinzhou Zhujiedu and Haoqiang want the best conditions.

Hongyan County guards the palace, the place where the king of Xia is temporarily stationed, the royal gas suppresses the Quartet, the dilapidated and outdated yamen seems to be a little more majestic, and the legal network of a county between the interweaving of dragon and tiger laws is gradually taking shape.

That night, the king banquet Qinzhou guests, the lights were bright, the maids came and went graceful, and the sound of silk and bamboo filled the pavilion, a beautiful scene of singing and dancing.

At the banquet, Zhou Bai and the envoys were staggered, one side praised the merits of Daxia, and the other responded with a smile, talking and laughing happily.

Regardless of the fact that the inside and outside of the county town are still under military control, the army is preparing for war day and night, and I think that there is no war in Qinzhou, and the two sides live in harmony.

However, after the laughter, as soon as it came to the main matter of Great Xia's entry into Qinzhou, the warlord envoys were no longer in the mood for the banquet.

Where is this Xia King who is the Holy King, he is clearly the Overlord.

The singing and dancing dispersed, martial law was in full swing, and no one could wait to get within a hundred meters of the council hall, and no one heard what King Xia had talked about with them.

But when the messengers came out, their faces became more and more ugly, and then they all found a place to stay.

"If we and the other clans want to keep safe, we actually have to hand over half of the family assets, and we also have to let the officials of the tax department over there in Xia Guo settle in."

"The main family has been rooted in Qinzhou for a hundred years before it has accumulated at the moment, is it too domineering for King Xia to ask for half of a sentence!"

"Hmph, what is this, the Zheng family from my handsome family is a Qinzhou family, and the main lineage must be moved to Longshouyuan to settle down."

"The most outrageous thing is that each family has to repair the official road by themselves to welcome the king, how much manpower and material resources will be spent on the mountain road of Qinchuan for thousands of miles."

"Alas, the conditions are harsh, and we are afraid that we will not be able to handle this mission."

This kind of critical time can be sent as a messenger, naturally there is no stupid person, a few information exchanges will understand, King Xia alone to talk to the conditions is good, but in fact, it is too strict.

"Compared with what King Xia did in Liangzhou, I hope this condition can be accepted by the marshal, otherwise Anzhi is not a mantis arm as a car."

"Qinzhou is bound to fight again, but this is probably the situation that King Xia wants to see......" A young envoy seemed to sense something, and his brows furrowed and muttered.

The place where everyone gathers privately and communicates is full of forbidden means such as sound insulation and covering, but where is there a secret in Hongyan City, which has been completely occupied by Great Xia.

With Zhou Bai becoming the master, the Daolu Division was cleaned up and arranged inside and out, and the content of the secret exchanges with the envoys of Qinzhou was all within the scope of supervision.

Across the wall, a group of Great Xia Dao officials gathered in front of a array, and from time to time someone clearly recorded the content of the conversation.

The first two are wearing extremely rare bullfighting robes, and their identities are obviously extremely valuable, they are Li Yuan, the deputy director of the Daolu Division, and Yuebai, the resident worshipper, both of whom are the cultivators of the Yang God True Monarch.

It is rumored that there are bullfights on the coast of the East China Sea, that is, cockroaches and the like, which make clouds and mist when it rains.

The Great Xia bullfighting costume is python-shaped, with a fish tail and two horns on the head bent downward like a bull's horn, and the dragon carp robe and fish python robe of the first two orders are the same, and are only awarded to meritorious heroes or those who have made great contributions.

Zhou Kaiji, who was focused on training at the beginning, made a meritorious contribution to the Tuoyue Sect, and was awarded a fish python robe, which is like seeing the cultivation of real people.

"My king is personally conscripted, resisting is just futile, it is better to surrender with the Fulong Sect as soon as possible, and the treatment will be better." Hearing the dissatisfaction of the warlord envoys, Yuebai Zhenjun frowned and said coldly.

After October 1, Yuebai's attitude towards the imperial court has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now he has taken the initiative to ask Zhou Bai to do things, and he is a solid supporter of the throne.

"Yes, if the secular territory is not brought down, we will inevitably encounter many obstacles in cleaning up the forces of the Qinzhou Daomen, and those Fulong Sects will have a lot of luck in sharing profits." Li Yuan bowed slightly, his attitude towards Yuebai was not strange, the power of Great Xia would only be understood if he had experienced it.

"Wait, this scholar is the envoy of the Yuanqiu Jiedu Mansion? The knowledge is good, the record is recorded, and the court strives to recruit afterwards, and the court is the time to employ people. ”

Xuanyiwei, who soon cooperated with him, immediately reported the relevant information: "Chen Mingxian, a person from Qinzhou, a cultivator in the Dao realm, a seven-grade judge of the former Qiu Shogunate, from a humble background, is included in the B-word observation list......"

What happened at the palace dinner soon spread to Qinzhou as the envoys returned, and the major forces, including the state government, understood King Xia's attitude.

Qinzhou Mu Jingheng was very happy, thinking that Xia Guo was too arrogant and forced the warlord Hao to his side.

Just when the snow was falling, when the Xia army was building the rear of Hongyan County, Jing Heng joined forces vertically and horizontally, sent people to and from the counties, and finally reached a joint agreement.

On November 15, the ninth year of Tongzhi, the snow in Qinzhou stopped, and the Xia Army Engineer Battalion and the military road officers cleared the road and the army started.

On the 17th, Huang Jingtong led an army of 30,000 to attack Tianyang County and defeated the local county soldiers.

On the 19th, Zhou Ping led an army of 20,000 to defeat the 50,000 army of Yuanqiu County and capture most of the county seats.

The Chinese army led by Zhou Bai, the king of Xia, was also invincible all the way, but it was pushed to Beiyan County, the core area of Qinzhou, and encountered a coalition of 200,000 troops led by state soldiers.

In the end, it is necessary to live a battle, otherwise the people are not convinced, how can it be possible to unify Qinzhou and die in Yuguan.
