In June, the temperature is getting hotter, and the annoying cicadas are singing fast horses from the northwest into the Central Plains, and then to the south.

Since the second day of the third month of the third year of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Xia Emperor launched an offensive against Qi and Liang, and the 250,000 troops were divided into two groups to march westward into the grassland, turning south and attacking at the same time.

The war in the northwest, which lasted for more than two months, has always attracted the attention of countless people in the north, the Central Plains, and even the south.

At the beginning of the Xia army's entry into the Qi State, the Eastern Route Army was commanded by an unknown veteran, and in the eyes of many people, it was quite surprising that the Xia Emperor who wanted to dominate the hegemony of the Xia State let an old soldier be the commander, and he attacked a country alone, and those families in the Central Plains who had been pitted and suppressed by Su Chen, or the families who had declined, seemed to be waiting for good news, staring at the war situation in the northwest.

However, under the command of the old commander, the East Route Army of Xia State invaded like fire, blitzed Feiyan Pass, and drove straight into Jiudingzhou.

In just one month, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qi State were defeated in a row, and the throne of the Qi State was even more dizzying, and it was passed around in the surprised eyes of the people of the world, which was a laughing stock.

And what's more, it's still shocking to the strength of the Xia country's army, as well as the strategic vision of the old marshal who led the army to fight and hit it with one blow.

The state of Qi, like the state of Wei, was so calmly destroyed, and it spread to the counties and counties of the Central Plains, and then to the south was just a matter of notice.

This mighty army is as powerful as heaven's punishment.

Perhaps as a lesson from the past, the Liang State in the mountains in the northwest did not want to be overturned, so he chose to defend the city and the mountain, and rely on the strategy of constantly blocking the Western Route Army of the Xia State.

In addition, since the Western Route Army moved south, dysentery has continued to appear in the army, which has made it impossible for the army to launch an effective offensive.

So much so that Liang Guo was added to the fire in countless news of flying to the Central Plains and the south for a while, and used flexible tactics in the mountains to ambush and trap the Western Route Army of Xia State, and even the Eastern Route Army that later joined the war.

There were even rumors that Taikang City and Tuoba Zongju annihilated the 100,000 troops of the Xia State in a battle.

The military situation has always been simple, and the news from the outside world is even more shabby, and many people are shocked that the Liang State actually relied on Taikang City to defeat the Xia State and killed 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Such numbers are often the unique achievements of the Xia Kingdom Son back then, but now they are reversed, which makes many people still in shock.

However, the news of the flooding of the western capital and the collapse of the Great Liang was still on the way to the south of the Huai River at this time.

In June, Wu Guoshengkang,

On the border with Yue, Wu State had weapons and armor secretly funded by Xia State, which was barely on par with Yue, but also lost more and won less, and occasionally won one or two games, and the officials began to sing praises in the court and exaggerate among the people.

Among them, these dignitaries and family members contributed the most, and most of them praised the civil and military affairs, and finally they could mention Kang Chengqian, the son of heaven in the main hall.

Wu Imperial Palace, in front of the Yuehua Pond, the turquoise pond water is dotted with pieces of lotus, the maid holds the lotus seed soup, kicks the skirt Shi Ran over, after the eunuch has tried the soup with a silver needle, and then the emperor's henchman eunuch forwards it into the pavilion.

Wu Huang Kang Chengqian was sitting on the edge of the pavilion, and when he heard the eunuch whispering to him, he nodded slightly, and asked him to put the soup on the stone table.

The personal old eunuch looked at the emperor's appearance, sighed silently, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, moved behind the Son of Heaven in small steps, and whispered comfort: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a long time, but you have to rest your body, after all, your body is your own." ”

"These civil and military ......"

Kang Chengqian looked at the budding lotus, two dragonflies flew away from the bottom of his eyes, he smacked his lips, and without turning around, he reached out and brought the soup bowl and took a sip.

“…… Bullying me, persecuting me, the benefits are all out for them as dog thieves. ”

Although he is not a virtuous king, and he is not very smart, since the Xia State attacked Qi and Liang, he also faintly noticed that something was wrong, the marriage between the Yue State and the Xia State, why did he fund the Wu State to fight with the other party?

Obviously, this is to let the two countries have no time to take care of anything else, so that the Xia Kingdom can enter Qiliang without worries.

"These dogs are smarter than me, they can't fail to see it!" Kang Chengqian scolded again, raised his hand and smashed the soup bowl into the pond, and the splash splashed on the masonry below the pavilion.

"Your Majesty, maybe all the civil and military people are also ......"

"Shut up, don't say nice things about them!" Kang Chengqian scolded loudly, spat splashing, "I want to reconcile with the Yue Kingdom and stop the war, but they know it with reason, and they move it with affection, talk about the ancestral foundation, and talk about the Wu people in Yuedi."

In fact, these dogs are eager to fight all the time, so that they can reap the benefits in it, and they can't see it when they are stupid and stupid like pigs? A knife costs twenty taels of silver! A bucket of rice is 800 Wen, they exchanged for those broken copper and iron in Luyang, and the old rice in the warehouse, and bought it from the court at a high price in their hands, sucking blood and eating meat, no matter how rich Wu Guo is, he can't withstand such moths! ”

This is the forbidden garden of the harem, and these guards around him are all his henchmen, so he dares to scold like this.

"Xia Guo finished beating Qi Liang, who is next? Yue or Wu? These dogs, they don't care about destroying the country, as soon as they surrender when the time comes, when the vassals continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, what should I do? The king of the dead country, the king of the dead country, what is the good end. ”

Kang Chengqian already knew the fate of the second emperor of Qi, and he was moved to the palace of Xia Kingdom in the north like a pig and a dog, doing work like livestock, and the empress dowager Zhao Zhuangyi had to serve in the pulp washing division.

He didn't want his old mother to become like that, and he didn't want his prince and daughter to be treated as cattle and horses.

In the past two years, he tried to cheer up, but the civil and military forces in the court just greeted him with a smile, and then kept singing praises to him, and finally quietly pressed the order he sent.

Even the news in the northwest was in a state of blockade for a while, if it wasn't for him being tough, otherwise he wouldn't know that the Xia army had entered the Liang State and was defeated in Taikang City.

The pavilion was quiet for a while, and the eunuch also whispered: "Your Majesty, the Xia Kingdom may not be able to beat the Liang Kingdom, in the news a few days ago, didn't it say that the 100,000 troops of the Xia Kingdom were broken and sunk in Taikang City?" ”

"Your dog thing is also nonsense, how can the news from thousands of miles away be so accurate? It can't be said that the civil and military forces deliberately said that, so that I can continue to fight with the Yue Kingdom. ”

These moods have been suppressed for a long time, and Kang Chengqian has become like a woman full of resentment, he waved his hand a few times and stood up, "They have a good calculation, really I don't know?"

I can't let them get their way, anyway, I can't be the master of this Wu country, and I still guard it to do a lot! It's better to learn from Qi Qingbao to surrender. ”

When he said this indignantly, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned, and suddenly he thought of something, the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile, and he clenched his fist excitedly and smashed it in the palm of his hand.

"That's right, you control the government, so if you want to fight, then I will let you fight well, and I won't accompany you!"

He immediately asked the old eunuch to come over, and the latter quickly bent down and put his ear to it.

Kang Chengqian whispered in his ear: "Find a way, first transfer the Queen Mother, the Empress, and my two princes and princesses out of the palace to the Central Plains, and then I will find an opportunity to leave the palace and defect to the Xia Kingdom together." ”

"Huh?!" When the eunuch heard this, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide for a long time.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm all ......" Kang Chengqian waved his hand: "It's all forced by them!" ”

Immediately, he had a vengeful smug smile on his face.

"When the time comes, I want to see what the expressions of these civil and military officers of Wu Guo will be!"

After all, he didn't believe that Taikang City could block the Xia army, and he was just a nominal emperor, so it was better to break the jar and move to the Central Plains, and he could still keep a thin noodle in the future, and he could still have no worries about food and clothing, and he would be able to paint without distractions.

As for the ancestral industry...... Love whoever you want.

On June 12, the latest news from the northwest crossed the Huai River to the territory of Wu State, the Xia State West Route Army broke the ancient Youhe River, and took advantage of the torrential rain to cause a flash flood, flooding the Liang, 180,000 people drowned, 90,000 people missing, Emperor Liang Tuoba Kui, as well as the clan, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all died in battle.

After hearing the news, Kang Chengqian was even more convinced of his thoughts, so he used the little power in his hand and exhausted all means to quietly send his mother, wife, and several children out of the palace.

And the queen mother and queen in the palace have other people pretending to be in a simple place, fooling the eyes of the civil and military people.

At the same time that the emperor of Wu was secretly fleeing from the Central Plains, Meng Tong, the emperor of Yue Kingdom, who also received the news, was stunned for a moment, and then handed over the news to the eunuchs with a laugh and let the civil and military circulate it.

"My son-in-law has destroyed two countries in a row within half a year, something that has never been done for eternity, what do you think?"

He was happy on his face, but he had complicated emotions in his heart, and at his age, he would not have any illusions, but he didn't expect that the dispute with Wu Guo had not yet been decided, and he got cheap, and the two countries were pacified with the speed of thunder.

How could it be, how did he do it so quickly, he was only in his twenties, what would he do next?

Do you want to dominate the world?

Above the Yue Kingdom court, the buzzing noise, and the heat outside was like a prison, which gave Meng Dong the illusion that the world was about to fall.

……

In the northwest, the chaotic flames of war and the surging floods gradually stopped.

After the flood receded, among the mud were a large number of human and livestock corpses, swollen and rotten, and the stench filled the wilderness, and a large number of Liang troops began to clean up the fields outside the city.

Soon after, the Xia State West Route Army in the north also came from the north gate of the Western Capital with a victory, and at the same time, An Lushan, as a rebel, also led the leaders of various tribes to the northeast of the Western Capital with 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Together with the generals of the Western Route Army, they will enter the city to meet the emperor.
