Guzang City, Wuwei County.

Wang Jie, the general of the auxiliary country who was sitting on the seat, looked at the more than 20 middle and senior generals under his command with eager faces, and everyone was puzzled why Wang Jie had such an expression. You must know that the Ming army was routed and nearly 60,000 people were killed and wounded, not including the 10,000 people who defected to Yang Sheng. Moreover, in these days of defending the city, the Ming army also suffered 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, and the total casualties have reached 100,000. This is already the fourth month that they were "defeated" and besieged in Guzang, although they did not have food as Da Liang thought, but their life was by no means easy, after all, Wang Jie did not allow them to go all out, and only let 30,000 people defend the city each time, so that although Da Liang did not break through Guzang, but every time it was dangerous and dangerous, everyone was depressed. Now that they saw Wang Jie smiling, they were even more depressed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have swallowed my anger during this time, and I, Wang Jie, have sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and my own reputation to create this defeat. But I tell you that these are all plans that I have made early in the Ming Dynasty, and they are nothing more than to create a huge encirclement to bring the army of the Great Liang Kingdom and the army of the Xianbei people here, and prepare to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Some time ago, I suppressed you just to make a show, and now the time has come to fight back. His Majesty sent 50,000 iron cavalry of the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guard and 100,000 cavalry of the Shenwu Army have arrived at the designated position, we don't have to continue to endure it, tomorrow, we will go out of the city and completely defeat the coalition army of the four forces including the Great Liang Kingdom, and the work of pouring the sky is just around the corner. After Wang Jie finished speaking, everyone was shocked, they had already been suffocated, the lack of food in the Ming army was an illusion at all, in their opinion, the more than 200,000 troops in Guzang City were completely able to defeat the more than 300,000 Daliang coalition troops outside the city, but Wang Jie just didn't allow them to do it, but they didn't expect that Daming's appetite turned out to be a sentence to annex these hundreds of thousands of troops, but it was not to repel them. However, the bigger Daming's plan, the more excited they were to become soldiers.

In addition, there is another reason for the continuous defeat of the Ming army on the Western Front, which is to completely lure out Da Zhao, if it were not for their continuous defeat in the hands of the people of the Liang Kingdom, how could the Great Zhao State come out of the country? His Majesty has long been ready to defeat Da Liang and Da Zhao at one time, it is estimated that when they start to do it, Si Lizhou should also start to do it, Wang Jie thought secretly.

"General, what kind of army is this Shenwu Army? Why have I never heard of Ran Min?" Unlike other generals, Ran Min asked with some confusion, Wang Jie looked at Ran Min with affection on his face. This Ran Min is fully qualified to be the commander of the First Army, one of the most outstanding young generals of the Ming Dynasty, and probably even the first.

Therefore, Wang Jie opened his mouth and said: "General Ran, this matter is absolutely secret, except for our three generals and a few privy envoys, the rest of us basically don't know. Now that the Shenwu Army is about to play, I won't hide it from you. His Majesty established the Shenwu Army five years ago, and the Shenwu Army has an army of 200,000 troops, all of which are cavalry, and they are all first-class talents in each army, although they are slightly inferior to the Iron-blooded Praetorian Guard, but they are not too far behind. And the commander of the Shenwu Army is your father, General Ran Liang, and I believe that General Ran will soon be promoted to the rank of general. The purpose of the establishment of the Shenwu Army is for today's Armageddon. Now that the 100,000 cavalry of the Shenwu Army and the 50,000 cavalry of the Iron-blooded Praetorian Guard are attacking together, do you think those crooked melons and cracked dates outside still have a chance? But this time General Ran still has a final task. The general who commanded the Shenwu Army was General Cui Cheng Cui, the commander of Nanyang Township, Wuwei County, and you are not curious about why he was not in the city? ”

After Wang Jie finished speaking, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that Daming still had such a strong army, you must know that it is already very difficult for Daming to maintain nearly one million troops, even if Daming has skyrocketed in both population and food production. Now they heard that Da Ming had secretly formed a cavalry of 200,000, they were all stunned, raising one cavalry is equivalent to several infantry, this is a type of army that burns money. No matter what they think, it's enough for the Ming army anyway, and they want revenge.

"In addition, I also tell you that General Yang Sheng's rebellion is also fake, he is the nail in the Liangguo coalition army sent by my Daming, tomorrow he will cooperate with us to make a move to disrupt the Liangguo coalition army, this time we are surrounded by internal and external alliances, and Daliang will be defeated. After Wang Jie finished speaking, he began to arrange, and everyone got up to receive the order.

At the end of September of the seventeenth year of Shengwu, with a loud bang, the grain and grass of the 300,000 Liangguo coalition troops were all burned at once, and the horses of the other coalition troops were also frightened by the loud noise, and the Liangguo coalition army was in chaos. Yang Sheng and his nearly 10,000 soldiers detonated the black powder they had hidden on their bodies, which was a secret weapon that the Ming Dynasty had studied for many years. After they had burned the grain and grass, they set fire to the remaining gunpowder, and hundreds of thousands of horses were frightened and fled in all directions, leaving at least half of the cavalry without mounts.

Zhang Jun, the commander of the Liangguo coalition army and the emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom, was furious and sent troops to besiege Yang Sheng, who was martyred, but it delayed the time for the Liangguo people to react.

At the same time, Wang Jie's army, which had been holding on for several months, was killed, and without waiting for the reaction of the Daliang State Coalition Army, the 150,000 Ming cavalry commanded by Cui Cheng suddenly appeared behind them, and the Daliang State Coalition Army collapsed for thousands of miles, nearly 100,000 people were killed, 100,000 people were captured, and the remaining 100,000 people fled in a hurry, but the Ming cavalry did not give up, and kept chasing and killing, except for only 20,000 or 30,000 people who fled back, the rest were either killed or captured. The emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom, the leader of the bald Xianbei, the leader of the begging Xianbei and the leader of the Qianghu were all killed, even if they surrendered, the Ming Dynasty did not let go, and the four forces had neither leaders nor large armies, and they were suddenly on the verge of collapse.

Wang Jie and Cui Cheng commanded the army to reoccupy Zhangye County, and marched in, taking Jiuquan County without much resistance. They stopped the attack, much to the great relief of the remnants of the four forces, and the remnants of the Great Liang Kingdom were forced to flee to Dunhuang County, which was full of desert Gobi deserts. Because Zhang Jun was killed, Zhang Jun's eldest son Zhang Zuo became the new lord of Liang with the support of the Ming Dynasty, and was a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of his own life, Zhang Zuo took the few remaining people to directly attack the begging Xianbei and the bald Xianbei, and the three forces were half a catty and eight taels, all of which suffered heavy losses, but the remnants of Da Liang were slightly stronger, so Da Liang took the two Xianbei of Qiang Hu to retreat, but they did not completely eliminate the strength of the Xianbei people, and the entire Western Regions was beaten into a blank land.

This was all planned by the Ming Dynasty, sending a large army into the Western Regions, where it is difficult to transport materials, and it is impossible to take it in a short time, so it is better to support Zhang Zuo and let them fight like grassland people.

And just when the news had not yet spread, Xie Ai, another god of war of the Ming Army, suddenly tore off his disguise and appeared in front of the Ming Army in Silizhou. The morale of the Ming army in Sili Prefecture was suddenly high and ready to counterattack, Xie Ai's ability to lead the troops was the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, the 100,000 people of the Shenwu Army under the leadership of Ran Liang had already sand to the Tiger Pass.

In the several secret rooms of the Tiger Prison, hundreds of black-clothed and black-armored Daming troops suddenly came out, all of them were first-class fierce generals, killing the Great Zhao Army It was difficult to resist, of course, these were all hidden secret guards. The sudden assassination of the secret guard created a huge chaos in the Tiger Prison Pass, Shi Xing, the commander of Da Zhao, actually abandoned the pass and fled, and the Da Zhao army lost the last chance to resist. The secret guards took advantage of the disruption to directly open the city gate, and 100,000 Shenwu troops entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Tiger Prison Pass was lost in just one day. The Tiger Prison was lost, and the 300,000 troops who entered Sili Prefecture became completely alone.

Sili Prefecture was originally fortified and clear, there was not much food, and now that the grain road was cut off, they couldn't grab much grain at all. I can't walk if I want to, I don't have anything to eat, even if it's iron, I can't bear it, the 300,000 army outside Luoyang City is like a headless fly completely collapsed, Xie Ai led the 100,000 army defending Si Lizhou to kill out, Lu Zhong ordered the northern army of Bingzhou Zhenbei to kill it from Shangdang County, Ran Liang took 50,000 Shenwu troops to kill from the west of the Tiger Prison Pass, and under the siege of the three roads, the 300,000 Zhao army, which had been hungry for several days, suddenly collapsed.

Li Nong, the first deputy commander of Da Zhao, surrendered, Ma Qiu broke through with tens of thousands of troops and was killed by Da Ming, and the other two deputy commanders were captured. The 300,000 army of Great Zhao disappeared in just half a month. Speaking of which, thanks to the help of Da Zhao Junchen, Shi Hong secretly instructed Shi Xing to transport grain and grass once every three days, this is to control the army, but he didn't expect this to become the reason for the collapse of the Da Zhao army in a short time.

Of course, this can't be completely blamed on Shi Xing, the king of Qi of Da Zhao, he did this as ordered. However, Shi Xing, who fled back to Da Zhao, will definitely face the wrath of Emperor Da Zhao, and this black pot Shi Xing has turned his back. Although the army of Zhao was defeated, the small group of deserters fleeing everywhere still had to be cleaned up, so Si Lizhou could not settle down in a moment.

The Ming Dynasty made a strong attack to annihilate more than 300,000 troops in Daliang in the first battle, and the second battle group annihilated more than 300,000 troops in Dazhao, which completely caused a sensation in the whole world. After getting the news, Da Jin retreated from Nanzhong like being chased by a dog, and they only hated their parents for having two legs. They immediately sent someone to contact the two princesses of Da Jin who married Chu Yun, and wanted them to blow the pillow wind, and now Da Ming has cleaned up Da Liang and Da Zhao, and they have also beaten Da Ming, won't they be the next to be cleaned up?

And Da Yan was overjoyed to know that Da Ming had defeated Da Liang and Da Zhao so quickly, they didn't wait in vain, Da Zhao mobilized half of the country's troops to fight Da Ming, and now they are all annihilated, Da Zhao must be extremely weak, at this time, they can clean up Da Zhao by themselves, and now it is the harvest season soon, how can they not be happy.

Zheng Jie, the old man of Daming Pavilion who was a guest in Dayan, was immediately summoned by Murong Hao, who praised Daming's strength, and then couldn't wait to ask Zheng Jie when Daming would fight against Da Zhao with Dayan. Zheng Jie was overjoyed when he knew that the Ming Dynasty had defeated the two great powers, and he told Murong Hao to attack together two months later according to the news passed to him by the secret agent. Murong Hao immediately agreed, he went to dispatch troops, and the entire Nether Wing Border was noisy. You said that you are doing these actions at the height of the border at this time, isn't it just to tell Da Zhao that I am going to deal with you? Zheng Jie was speechless, but it was okay to do this, Da Yan attracted Zhao Guo's attention, and Da Ming would be smoother at that time.

The two sides agreed that Dayan would attack Da Zhao's Yizhou from north to south, and the Ming soldiers would attack Da Zhao's Yuzhou in two ways, and send troops all the way from Bingzhou to attack half of Youzhou occupied by Da Zhao.

Daming Chang'an.

The news of the victory of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the world like a gust of wind, and Chang'an, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, of course, got the news for the first time, and the people of the city sang and danced as if celebrating a festival. The people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, without hunger and excessive oppression, and were the happiest people in comparison. And because of the propaganda of the Supervision Department and Jinyiwei, the recognition of Daming is very strong.

These two battles can be said to have laid the foundation of the battle of the Ming whale swallowing the world, and the defeat of Daliang made the Ming no longer have worries and could concentrate on the Central Plains. And the defeat of Da Zhao represented the decline of the last great power that prevented the eastward advance of the Ming Dynasty. The significance of this battle can be regarded as the battle of Changping of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most powerful opponent of the Ming Dynasty cannot stop the Ming Dynasty. Not even the big swallow in the middle of nowhere. Although the Great Yan army is also very strong, but they do not have much population, and the strategic position is too biased, it is impossible to become the second Zhao State, unless the Ming Dynasty gives them the opportunity to annex the Yizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou of the Great Zhao State before they can compete with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming may let them get these states? Just kidding, the Ming Dynasty is not Lei Feng.

But not everyone was so happy, just when some people were happy and some were worried, Chu Yun summoned several cabinet elders and all the privy council privy envoys in Beijing, and soon Ma Liang, Mo Han, Wen Qiao, Yao Yizhong, You Ling and other five cabinet elders and Zhang Bin, Fu Hong, Liu Dongyong, and Zhou Yong and Cheng Yang, two people in charge of intelligence, all came. Of course, Zheng Jie, the elder, and several privy envoys were all out with troops and could not come.

Chu Yun walked out, a few people hurriedly visited, Chu Yun sat on the throne and didn't speak, and a few people didn't dare to ask, Chu Yun defeated the enemy on the grassland and defeated Da Liang and Da Zhao in a row, and now almost showed the posture of annexing the world, his prestige is getting higher and higher, basically no one dares to intersect with Chu Yun on an equal footing, if you have to say that a person is a wanderer who is about to die, he dares to make a joke with Chu Yun.

Although with Chu Yun's help, the ninety-year-old wanderer was still coming to the end of his life, and even Chu Yun had no choice. Chu Yun was very grateful to this old minister who helped him gain a foothold at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so he went to visit him many times, and also rewarded the You family with the reward of not being demoted to the position of duke within three generations, which was the first time in the world. You must know that the Duke of Qin who is far away is the founding Duke of the country, the first rank of the duke, and if he does not demote the lord for three generations, he can keep the Duke of Qin from decaying within a hundred years. Even if he is demoted in the future, the descendants of the Duke of Qin are all foolish children, and each rank of the prince is three generations, and he can keep more than ten generations of nobles, and this reward is really high.

"All of you, please be seated. Chu Yun saw that several people were standing with their hands bowed, and finally let them all sit down, a group of fifty or sixty-year-old old men standing was too inhumane, and several people sat down one after another after thanking them.

"Princess, my Ming Dynasty has won a great victory on the battlefield, and I am very happy, but some of you have betrayed me and betrayed the Ming Dynasty. I trust you so much, you are all in high positions, and your descendants are glorious, but why, why do you treat me like this, and where have I treated you badly. Do you want me to say it myself?" After Chu Yun finished speaking, all ten people were furious, they were all the core rulers of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun actually said that there were traitors among them, this news made everyone's minds change greatly.

Just when everyone was suspicious of the people around them, Ma Liang, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, walked out and knelt deeply in front of Chu Yun, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. ”

Everyone was shocked by this scene, among which Mo Han, who was good friends with Ma Liang, was the most surprised, "You, you actually betrayed Your Majesty? Is this true?" Mo Han seemed to have thought about something clearly, and closed his eyes in a gloomy manner.

"Ma Liang, what did I do to you? You should know, whether it was in the Iron Blood Army, or in the Ming Dynasty, you Ma Liang patted his chest and said, how did I treat you? Chu Yun saw Ma Liang stand up, and the anger in his heart really couldn't be suppressed. Ma Liang's face became more and more pale, two cloudy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was remorse or fear, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything.

During these days, Chu Yun has been focusing on monitoring the ministers in Chang'an City, and it is necessary to find out those moths, in those days when Da Ming looked like he was about to be defeated by Da Liang and Da Zhao, the ministers communicated frequently with the secret agents of various countries, but Chu Yun always regarded it as not knowing, after all, they were all petty officials of three or four grades, and Chu Yun wanted to catch the biggest fish this time.

Until Chu Yun unexpectedly found out that Ma Liang was secretly connected with an alien divine stone controller, Chu Yun was suspicious and cautious, although Ma Yun trusted Chu Yun very much, he still arranged for surveillance, but he didn't expect that there was really a gain.

Chu Yun didn't alarm Ma Liang, and shot to capture the Divine Stone Controller of the late stage of the Ground Level, the Divine Stone Controller of the Late Stage of the Ground Stage was extraordinary, he had a ghostly body, and there was a trace of the rules of heaven and earth, Chu Yun personally chased him for a day and a night before catching him. Chu Yun pulled out Ma Liang's betrayal of himself from his mouth, but this person didn't know who was behind the scenes, and he didn't know who Ma Liang was contacting, he only knew that he belonged to a secret organization, and even he didn't know the big boss behind the scenes, which showed the mystery of this organization, and learned from his mouth that Ma Liang had been in contact with that secret organization for at least a few years, and of course he was furious.

"The old minister is guilty, the guilty minister is sorry for His Majesty's trust, please punish Your Majesty. Ma Liang's face became more and more pale, he actually confessed his guilt directly, seeing Ma Liang confessing his guilt so happily, Chu Yun not only did not rejoice, but became even more angry, this Ma Liang was promoted by himself, he was promoted from a small family in a county to the head of a county, and later returned to his side and was directly promoted to a cabinet minister, and was appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet, one person is above ten thousand people, where am I sorry for you? Chu Yun felt that he was stabbed by the most trusted person, and he was in pain.
