The order to rest for three days was issued to Xin Xiang's army, and the soldiers at the lower levels naturally cheered, this attack on Qi State, in many senses, was much simpler than Wei State, and it could not be compared with the Xirong people.

130,000 soldiers and horses went south to the Qi country, and it seemed that there were more than 10,000 casualties, but not many were actually killed in battle. Moreover, along the way, each soldier has more or less looted some property, and Su Chen distributed the private treasury money of the Emperor of Qi as a reward to the soldiers, which is enough for them to spend three days in Xinxiang.

The subordinates of the Qi State naturally also said at this time that the property under their names, as long as it was patronized by the soldiers of the Xia State, would only be charged at the cost price.

The generals of the various armies rarely went outside to eat, drink and have fun, and most of the concubines who received the emperor of Qi spent three days in Su Chen's house, and occasionally went to the palace in groups of three or five to meet Su Chen, or go to the temple to talk to their respective old lords and talk about some old things back then.

And in the past three days, Su Chen sent a letter to his parents and Fang Xuejun at home, probably saying that Qi Guo had fallen into his hands, which generals had made meritorious contributions, and so on.

Subsequently, he began to discuss a series of affairs of the Liang State, he pulled Jia Xu and Li Ru to discuss some plans, and then on the second day, Xin Xiang's hundreds of thousands of troops continued to be led by Han Jinsu, Zhao Ji'an, Xu Jinwu, Tong Ju and other generals.

Three days later, Su Chen's imperial order came to them, and 160,000 soldiers and horses would be the vanguard, and the 50,000-strong border army would be surrendered.

The Xiliang Army and the Youyan Army, as the main force in the middle, will be directly pushed over once they find that the Qi State has surrendered to the army, or that the battle is unfavorable, and whether it is the surrender army or the border army, it will be included in the scope of the attack.

At the time of Su Chen's order, Han Jinsu, Zhao Ji'an, Xu Jinwu, and Tong Ju, as long as they were not stupid, basically understood what Emperor Xia meant.

Soon the three-day rest was over, and the sergeants and soldiers quickly returned to the camp and prepared their swords and armor, and the 160,000 troops had already marched westward and advanced towards the border of Liang before they were together.

The four generals jointly wrote a letter and sent it to the border army Xu Mao, when they knew that the emperor was tied up by a group of civil and military soldiers and sent to the military camp of the Xia State, and surrendered.

He sat in the tent in a daze for a long time, repeating only one sentence.

"The minister wants to fight to the death with the enemy, why did His Majesty surrender first."

Just fifteen miles away from the 160,000 surrendered troops, he walked out of the big tent and asked the sergeants of the army to lower the banner of the Qi State, and sent someone to send a letter of surrender.

After that, he only took more than 200 personal guards and rushed to the garrison of the surrendered army, and asked the four generals to introduce him, and went to the Xiliang army, which had left the range of Jinggi of Qi State, to meet Su Chen.

On the way, seeing the mighty Xia State soldiers spreading across the official road, and the surging Xirong cavalry like a monstrous wave sweeping across the field, Xu Mao understood very well why the emperor was tied up by a group of civil and military soldiers to go to the Xia State military camp.

Qi State, which has not had a war for many years, is simply unable to resist such an army, even if the border army in his hand is only a small fight with Liang Guoxiao.

Following the spreading soldiers, Xu Mao, under the leadership of the four people, came to the advancing middle formation, and saw the Tiger Guard and Tiger Might, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion from a distance.

He dismounted with Han Jinsu, Zhao Ji'an, Xu Jinwu, and Tong Ju, and knelt on one knee on the side of the road, waiting for the royal chariot to come.

The black and white dragon flag hunting and flying, accompanied by a six-wheeled iron cart that he had never seen before, with sharp spear heads inlaid in the middle of the wheels, and a faint smell of incense and candles in the carriage.

The royal chariot drove over and stopped in front of the five people, Su Chen walked out of the carriage, looked at the five people kneeling on the side of the road, and his eyes fell on the newly surrendered border army general Xu Mao.

The opponent is in his early forties and has old armor, but it can be seen that the other party has been on the battlefield for a long time, and compared with the generals of Qi State Gyeonggi, he has the momentum of a battlefield general.

"Rise up, generals."

Su Chen stood on the chariot and raised his hand, "I am very happy today, I am not afraid of a war against each other, General Xu has contributed a lot." But at the moment, I can't give you a reward, you have also seen that the three armies are now pulling out the Liang State, and when the war is over, they will return to Yanjing together, and then celebrate the generals! ”

"The minister is not a general, Your Majesty is too loving."

"If you surrender to me, you are my general, so there is no identity as a general!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although it is a good word, but in the ears of people, it is also comfortable, Xu Mao hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him, "Your Majesty wants to attack Liang, the minister and Liang have fought several times, and they are quite familiar with the terrain over there, and the minister also invites to be the vanguard of His Majesty!" ”

"Accurate!"

Su Chen stepped out of the chariot and held his hands up, "With General Xu as the striker, I believe that this battle will end as soon as possible!" ”

"The ministers and the four generals are waiting for His Majesty's Imperial Rim in Liangdi!"

Xu Mao bowed again, saluted Su Chen with the other four generals, and after talking for a while, he returned to the front-line army, 50,000 border troops merged into 160,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 210,000 people killed to the eastern border of Liang State, which was a war that the two countries had never had.

What's more, the entire northern part of the Liang Kingdom was in a state of war at this time, and while the soldiers and horses of the various tribes gathered in the capital, there were also many small tribes that were transferred to the northern line to act as consumables to block the western route army of the Xia Kingdom.

In the south of Meizhou, Ma Chao and Ma Dai led the Xiqiang Flying Cavalry to the southern border of Liang State, waiting for the rain to stop, and while waiting for Pang De to bring 20,000 Meizhou soldiers and horses to converge.

Two days of drizzling rain enveloped winding roads, dilapidated villages on barren land, and brown hills.

The camp stationed on the border plain south of the Liang Kingdom was occasionally accompanied by patrolling cavalry galloping by, bringing splashes and mud.

A group of 12,000 soldiers and horses of the Liang State was also stationed on the opposite side, and they seemed a little accustomed to seeing the cavalry of Meizhou passing through the field of vision every day.

Near noon, in the camp of the Xia cavalry, Ma Dai stepped on the mud and stagnant water on the ground, and with a layer of water vapor on his armor, he opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.

"Brother, there's a letter from Qi Guo!"

At this time, the first person in the middle of the big tent, a general in silver armor, wearing a lion helmet and a pair of long white velvet tails hanging from the collar armor on his shoulders and neck, was reading a map at the table.

Hearing the words of the younger brother, he raised his head, took the letter from the other party's hand with a smile and glanced at it, and then slapped it on the table and laughed heroically.

"The East Road has conquered the Qi State, and Li Jing of the Tang State is really powerful in commanding the army."

"It's really powerful, but it's also possible that the Qi State is too weak."

Ma Dai sat down on the side, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Ma Chao, took one and took a sip: "Brother!" The letter says when will we attack? My brother's bones are about to be idle. ”

"Haha, as long as you are idle, it is not the same as being a brother, but Yunlu followed Zhao Yun all the way south and fought a lot of happy battles, which made me envious."

Ma Chao handed the letter to his younger brother Ma Dai and asked him to read it for himself, and continued: "But soon, we can send troops, the forwards on His Majesty's side have been pushed to the side of Liang Guo, 210,000 forwards...... There are still 130,000 main forces behind, plus us, and Guan Yu's Western Route Army in the north, which Wei State could not afford to enjoy back then! ”

"Brother, although there are many soldiers and horses, there are many mountains on this side of Liang Country, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight if there are too many people!" After reading the letter, Ma Dai folded the letter and put it back on the desk.

"As long as you know, then Jia Xu will not know? Li Jing will not be clear? ”

Ma Chao waved his hand to dispel Ma Dai's concerns, and he laughed heartily: "Now wait for Ling Ming to arrive with Meizhou soldiers and horses!" ”

"Eldest son, but you're talking about me?!"

As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, the curtain was lifted, and Pound strode in, he untied the ring knife on his waist and put it to the side, and sat down on the chair.

He was in the prime of life, and was beheaded by Guan Yu's corporal in Jingzhou before he came, and after coming here in the blink of an eye, he saw Ma Chao for the first time, he was stunned at first, and thought that he was not dead, and then he was knocked unconscious and sent to Shu.

He also scolded Ma Chao angrily halfway, but in response was a sudden hug from Ma Chao, which caught him off guard.

However, when he learned that he had died and came to another world, the whole person was stunned, and after gradually accepting it, he followed Ma Chao to Luyang, the Central Plains of this world, and when he saw Guan Yunchang from afar, he had incomprehensibly complicated emotions in his heart.

For a moment, he wanted to go up and fight the other party.

But looking back, he was defeated by Guan Yu, even if there was a natural disaster, but if he was defeated, he was defeated, and the other party even persuaded him to surrender with kind words, because he wanted to kill him by the neck and save his family in Wei, so he couldn't blame others.

At this time, he entered the big tent, and when he heard that he could send troops immediately, he would attack Liang Guo from the north to the north with Guan Yu's Western Route Army, although there was no objection, but the expression on his face was still a little unnatural.

"Defeat is defeat, why bother with the past, anyway, the original world, how was your family small, you also asked Jia Xu, now that you come to this world, don't worry about the past."

Ma Chao came before him, and the moment he came, he had already thought about many things, and he also had a sense of repentance for what he had done back then.

Now that my younger brother is here, the old ministry is also here, and even my sister Ma Yunlu is here.

He was filled with great contentment.

"Humph!" Pang De over there snorted, and hung the ring head knife on his waist again, "Although I was defeated by Guan Yunchang, I won't accept it, even if I fight again, I won't accept it." ”

Ha ha!

Ma Chao and Ma Dai laughed loudly, and the brothers hugged Pang De out of the big tent together, and the former braved the slender rain curtain, turned over on the horse, and drank.

"Prepare to send troops!"

The quiet barracks suddenly became agitated.

……

Tuoba Kui, who was in a different mood from Xiliang Ma Chao, who was about to send troops to the north in the south, walked up to the walls of the palace at this time, and quietly looked at the palaces that were different from other countries.

After a while, the Queen Mother Zhao Xifeng came over with eunuchs and palace maids, her face was solemn, and she came to her son's side.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Queen Mother's ......"

Tuoba Kui, who was looking at the palaces outside the city wall, sighed, "Some news came back just now...... Qi Guo...... The country is gone. ”

The Empress Dowager Liang, who was standing on the side, was suddenly stupid.
