At the beginning of the second year of the Great Departure. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wu Xin took Zhai Rang and other Wagang heroes, a total of about 8,000 people, and had returned to Jiangdu for many days.

After leaving the country, there were several civil servants such as Jia Xiong and Wang Ruxin, several battlefield generals such as Zhai Rang, Zhai Mohou, Shan Xiongxin, and Cheng Yanjin, as well as six or seven thousand elite soldiers.

Wu Xin did not confer the title of Marquis for Zhai Rang, but only gave a mansion in Jiangdu City, and was named the general of Zhengsanpin Zhendong, Jia Xiong and Wang Ruxin were enveloped as Cao Shen of the fourth rank or so, and Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yanjin and Zhai Mohou were the leading generals of the four products, so that they were in charge of an army.

Of course, except for the nearly 7,000 elite soldiers they brought from Wagang, the rest of the soldiers needed to be recruited and trained by themselves.

In the same month, the Great Demon Kingdom, which had just been established, was declared to collapse, and was succeeded by Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, and changed the name of the country to ...... Wei.

Li Mi was the king of Wei, continuing the system of three princes and nine secretaries, Li Wenxiang was the captain, Xu Shiji was the prime minister, Zu Junyan was the imperial historian, and Wang Bodang was the general of Wuwei, regrouping and deterring the Quartet.

At this point, Cheng Biting, the great demon king of the Great Demon Country, who was once talked about, only became the lord of the country for more than a month, and then fled from the Great Demon Kingdom and threw himself into the southern tent, which became a joke.

After Wang Wuxin led the people back to the capital, he did not train the army diligently, and announced the retreat again, which made the civil and military officials who left the country quite speechless.

Especially Cheng Yanjin, he often pretends to sigh for a long time, he is ********, why is he leaving the country with one heart, but his big demon kingdom is in chaos.

Of course, both seem to be hands-off shopkeepers, but the meaning is completely different, leaving the country's civil and military officials, basically recruited by Wu Xin personally, and Wu Xin himself has several elite main forces, which is naturally far from being comparable to Cheng Biting Jin.

......

Leaving the south of the country, Dongyang County.

Xuancheng County, the southernmost part of the country, is Xin'an County to the south, Sui'an County to the south, and Dongyang County to the south. To the south of Dongyang County is Yongjia County, which is the southernmost area adjacent to the ocean.

As long as Liguo can capture Dongyang County and Yongjia County, he can occupy the southeast of the mainland, and then he will be adjacent to the ocean, and he can rest assured that he will go west or north!

Because of the vastness of the world, maritime trade is not developed, resulting in the coastal areas are not prosperous. Therefore, the south is not very developed, relatively remote and barren, and there are many mountains, forests and waters, which can be described as poor mountains and bad waters, and are basically occupied by the Nanban or various strange tribes.

Wolong Duke and Xuancheng County Guard, Dilong, lived up to everyone's expectations, and soon after leading the barbarians to settle in Xuancheng County, he led the army south to expand the territory.

In just over two months, they successively took Xin'an County, Sui'an County and part of Shehang County's territory, hit the Longqiu Mountain Range in the middle of Dongyang County, and approached the city of Dongyang County.

All the way south, the expeditionary army was basically barbarian warriors, not to mention that the soldiers did not attack the city bloodlessly, but there was no war of more than 200,000 people, just sporadic small wars, mainly the diplomatic role of the ancient barbarian emperors.

Since ancient times, the imperial clan has been the main vein of the barbarians, and now the imperial clan is leading the army south, basically surrendering, especially those small and medium-sized tribes, even if some would rather die than surrender, but they can't stop the barbarian army.

That's the importance of the name.

Unfortunately, the world is fickle and people's hearts are unpredictable.

The Southern Barbarian tribes have dominated the south for many years, although during the Great Sui Empire, they were recognized as the courtiers of the Great Sui, but they only paid tribute every year, and they did not listen to the announcement, which can be described as a local emperor.

Now that the Great Sui is weak, the world is in chaos, and the Southern Barbarian tribes also have ambitions, it would be good if there was no Northern Expedition, how could they surrender? !

There are hundreds of barbarian tribes all over the south, and the seven tribes are the most powerful, with a total of one barbarian emperor and six barbarian kings.

The seven tribes are: the Wind Department, the Thunder Department, the Fire Department, the Water Department, the Gu Department, the Beast Department, and the Feather Department, all of which are ancient forces with a long history, each tribe has more than 10 million people, more than 1 million soldiers, and basically occupies a county, which is also a sign of submission to the Great Sui Empire, recognizing the naming and canonization of their territory by the Great Sui Empire.

Each generation of barbarian emperors is born from the seven tribes, and the remaining six are barbarian kings, and they respect the barbarian emperors together.

Dongyang County is the territory of the Ministry of Fire, which is in charge of the Zhurong clan, and this generation of the Fire Barbarian King is also known as the Fire King.

When the imperial clan went south, the southern barbarian tribes debated countless times over the question of whether to surrender to the imperial clan, until the emperor led the army to arrive in Dongyang County, but there was still no result, which was also one of the main reasons why the emperor dragon army was so smooth before.

Including the fire department of the seven major departments of the Southern Barbarians, there are still nearly half of them in favor of returning to the ancient barbarians, and recognizing the imperial clan, the heart of resistance is not strong!

However, the Fire King Zhu Yanyan was used to being the emperor of the soil, so he naturally didn't want to be a courtier, so he was the main battle faction, and the two sides confronted each other in Dongyang County.

In addition, the Fire King also asked for help from large tribes such as the Water Department and the Gu Department, and received a total of about three million reinforcements.

Of the seven major tribes of the Nanban, only the Ministry of Water and the Ministry of Gu came to help, so you can imagine the fierce contradictions within the Nanban.

The southern counties, with Jian'an County and Yi'an County having the largest territory, are in the hands of the Water Department and the Gu Department respectively, and this generation of Southern Barbarian Emperors is from the Gu Department. They will support Dongyang County, which is also the main reason why Jian'an, Ngui'an, and Dongyang are adjacent to each other.

If Dongyang County falls, it will be their turn!

Overlooking the county town of Dongyang, the flag is like a forest, and the air is in the sky.

After the barbarian army arrived at the city, they quickly set up camp and did not attack the city, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Young master, the Fire King has received the support of the Water Department and the Gu Department, according to my king's wishes, he must not attack by force, otherwise our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, especially the Gu Department, and he has to defend against it!"

When Emperor Long of Wolong Gong arrived, Elder Dizhen, who was the vanguard commander of the barbarian army of the Southern Expedition, reminded Emperor Long with a headache.

It is worth mentioning that if you take the oldest ancient barbarian saying, the emperor clan was originally a super tribe juxtaposed with the seven southern barbarians, named "War Department", brave and good at fighting, until he was in charge of the ancient barbarians for many years, plus the name of the respected barbarian god (Dijiang ancient god), with the emperor as the surname, the name was changed to the imperial family!

Therefore, the barbarian tribes should be called the eight barbarian tribes.

However, the most brave and warlike of the eight barbarian tribes, the most powerful and prosperous is the war department, and the most mysterious is the Gu department.

The population of the Gu Department is not large, and the soldiers who came to help this time are only a few hundred thousand, which is far inferior to the Fire Department and the Water Department. However, war is not just about the number of people, and the means of the Gu Department are unguardable. According to normal standards, 100,000 Gu soldiers can be worth at least one million regular troops, or even millions or tens of millions.

If Dongyang County is defended, the barbarian army of the Southern Expedition will attack and will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Are they refusing to return?" asked Di Long, with an ugly face.

Since the southern expedition, it has been quite smooth, if it were not for the poor mountains and bad waters, the march would have been difficult. According to Dilong's expectations, more than two months will be enough to hit the shores of the Endless Sea.

"They recognize our people, but they only respect our people, and they do not recognize leaving the country!"

Elder Di Zhen observed the surrounding crowd and lowered his voice in response. After a pause, he continued to transmit the voice:

"The Fire King sent a message, if our clan is willing to leave the country, they are willing to return, not only to give up the territory for our clan to live in peace, but also to help our clan go north and recapture my ancient barbarian country!" (To be continued.) )
