Chapter 163: The Situation of States

In the eighth year of Shengwu, a great war broke out in Bingzhou that shocked the world, no one would have thought that the two allies of the Ming Dynasty, Tuoba Xianbei, the Dai State and the Xia State established by the Tiefu people, actually abandoned the Ming Dynasty and turned to cooperate with the Great Zhao State and the Great Yan State, and the four countries combined to have more than 300,000 troops, and also made the Ming suffer a big loss, if it were not for the commander of the Ming Dynasty and the state army to see the conspiracy of the four countries, and made a series of arrangements, then the Ming Dynasty would definitely suffer a big loss.

Of course, even if the Ming Dynasty and the state assassinated Shi Xie Ai as fiercely as a tiger, the Ming Dynasty was also made dumplings in the battle, and lost a full 30,000 troops. This is the largest loss in a single battle since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and in the case of the betrayal of the allies, the Ming army was still broken through two lines of defense in a row, and it was not until the third line of defense that it was organized into an effective defense, and during this period the Ming also had a lot of losses.

However, compared to the original assumption of the four countries, even if the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, it did not achieve the strategic goals, especially the saddest situation of the Dai Kingdom, now it is really difficult to ride a tiger, just with the support of the Ming Dynasty, Tuoba Huai Huai, who has just become the new king with the support of the Ming Dynasty, is in a sad mood, he has been in the Ming Dynasty for several years, and knows the strength of the Ming Dynasty, this time he was tempted by the Great Zhao and the Great Yan to betray the Ming Dynasty, and there was some perverted pleasure at the beginning, after all, the backward civilization conquered the advanced civilization and made him feel good about himself. And Tuoba Huai is also annoyed by Daming's attitude towards him, how can he say that he is also the blood of the royal family of the country, Daming envoys are the same as slaves, in the past few years when Daming was a mascot, although Daming has no shortage of material for him, but there is no respect for him, so Tuoba Huaihuai also wants to prove himself to Daming, the purpose of slapping Daming's face, but it's all over.

According to Tuoba Huai's original idea, they took advantage of the head-on battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Zhao, the Great Yan and the Xia State, and suddenly sent troops from the north to occupy the Yanmen Pass, and then held this important place and waited for the four countries to fight, and they could attack and retreat and defend, and the Ming Dynasty failed, and they could sweep the state and become the real victors.

As a result, they ran into the Ming army that had been preparing for a long time at Yanmen Pass, and the country suffered heavy casualties, and nearly a third of the army of more than 100,000 was caught off guard by the Ming army under the Yanmen Pass, and Tuoba Huaihuai, who personally commanded the battle, fled back with the remnants of the army like a lost dog, if it were not for the persuasion of his subordinates later, he would definitely continue to be his shrinking turtle.

But a sentence from his subordinates made him have to send troops to attack Daming again, and Tuoba Huai was bitter and stalemate with Daming under the Yanmen Pass. His subordinates told Tuoba Huai that since he had offended the Ming Dynasty, he would beat the Ming to death with a stick, and if he couldn't die, he would die on behalf of the country. Tuoba Huai thought so, he was afraid and afraid of Daming, he had betrayed Daming, he knew that if Daming came back to his senses, he would definitely not let him go, so he became the person in the world who looked forward to Daming's death.

However, the Xiongguan Yanmen Pass guarded by the Ming Army is not so easy to fight, and now there are only three or four hundred thousand people in the country, and they can make up more than 100,000 troops, which is already the strength of the country. The strength of the country is really not as good as before, the first generation of the king, Liu Kun's good friend Tuoba Yilu is so majestic, several times defeated the Huns who were in the sky at that time, and they were able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops casually, and the population was more than one million, at that time the country was the overlord of the entire northern grassland, and now Tiefu also surrendered to the country, at that time, the country of the country was from the east to the west, to the west, from the Yin Mountain in the south, to the desert in the north, the strength was incomparably strong, it was really a generation of giants.

But look at the present, the civil strife in the past 20 years has repeatedly reduced the strength of Daiguo, and Zhao Guo also beat Daiguo from time to time, a few years ago, Shile sent two generals to attack Daiguo, and in these two battles alone, Daiguo lost no less than 100,000 troops. Therefore, the situation of the country has reached the verge of collapse.

And Tuoba Huai also agreed to attack the Ming Dynasty, he vainly tried to occupy the state, restore the demeanor of his ancestors, of course, in the original history, Tuoba Xianbei's descendants did it, Tuoba Huai's younger brother's grandson Northern Wei Dynasty founding emperor Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue established the Northern Wei Dynasty, unified the entire north, and founded the country for a hundred years, even if it was later split into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, it was Tuoba Xianbei's bloodline after all.

It's a pity that they didn't have such good luck this time, Chu Yun Daming established, a regime that had never appeared in history, almost completely shattered the hope of Tuoba Xianbei's rise as soon as he made a move. However, Tuoba Huai is still insisting, he is gambling on the future of Daiguo with Tuoba Xianbei's last bit of power, he is like a gambler who has bet on all his net worth.

And although the Three Kingdoms of Great Zhao on the frontal battlefield are not as tragic as Daiguo, and they still have the upper hand on the battlefield, they are not doing well. Although they annihilated tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, dealt a heavy blow to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and broke through the two defense lines of the Ming Dynasty in a row, occupying the advantage on the battlefield, but it was limited to this, the Three Kingdoms Alliance could not break through the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty and enter the state, which made them not complete their respective strategic goals, so it was not a victory at all.

Although Da Zhao did not go all out this time, but also made great efforts, Youzhou Assassin Zhao Lu commanded no less than 100,000 troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, these 100,000 people are the regular army of the Zhao State, among which the "countrymen" The soldiers, that is, the troops of the Qiang tribe have reached 40,000 people, you must know that the Qiang tribe itself is hundreds of thousands, and most of them are newborns under the age of 20 after Shi Le encouraged childbirth, so the soldiers of the Qiang tribe can make up are 120,000 people, and this time 40,000 were sent, which shows that Da Zhao has high hopes for this battle.

Zhao Lu is also the commander-in-chief of the coalition army this time, and the plan to use the Xia army to annihilate the main force of the Ming Dynasty and the state was formulated by him, but unfortunately the chess was one move, although the Ming army was severely damaged, but it was far away, and it was not annihilated. Zhao Lu saw that Daming stabilized the situation, and felt a pity in his heart, you must know that he has seen the strength of Daming, if he can't take the state by surprise, then it is estimated that there will be no more drama. However, he is not overly pessimistic, after all, Da Zhao has won over the allies of Da Ming this time, so that Da Ming has no allies except for Dacheng and Liao, which is being beaten, which has reached the psychological expectations of Zhao Guo, Zhao Lu still has a gap between Ming and Zhao in his heart, so he is not afraid of a head-on battle with Daming, not to mention that this time he also eliminated a lot of Daming's new forces.

And Yuwen Xianbei of the Liao State was really beaten by fat, and the Great Yan Kingdom only sent 20,000 people to symbolically attack the Ming Dynasty with the other three countries this time, while their main force was attacking Yuwen Xianbei, preparing to completely wipe out the Liao State that occupied western Liao, so that the Great Yan State could completely control the entire eastern Liao.

Therefore, the Liao State was miserable, they were beaten in Youzhou and returned to the nest, this time the nest was attacked, they couldn't beat it, and there was nowhere to run, this poor egg who was originally destroyed by the former Yan established by Murong Xianbei in history actually embarked on the same road, I have to say that the inertia of history is really big.

Daiguo Tuoba Xianbei went all out, the Zhao Guoqian clan was satisfied, and the drunkard of the Great Yan Kingdom did not pay attention to the Ming Dynasty at all, and unlike their Three Kingdoms, Xia Guo Tiefu Liu Dog had some heads at both ends, and after they cut off the retreat of the Ming Dynasty, they found that it was not the main force of the Ming army, but a suspicious soldier, and since then, Liu Dog has been afraid.

If Da Ming really lost the merger, then Liu Dog would definitely beat the water dog, and he would firmly stand by Zhao Guo's side and become the vanguard of the attack on Daming, but now Da Ming has held the merger, that is to say, they can't get the benefits promised by Da Zhao at all, and there is also a crusade against Da Ming, if Liu Dog didn't get the definite news and found that Chu Yun, the emperor who made him afraid, really disappeared, he would never dare to betray, you must know that Chu Yun had placed a ban on him.

At the beginning, Da Zhao's envoy told Liu Dog that Chu Yun had disappeared and was likely to die, where would he believe it, but they swore an oath, Liu Dog was a little suspicious, in order to find out whether Chu Yun was there, with his absolute light skills, and he finally broke through the human realm and became a ground-level martial artist, and he also had confidence. Therefore, he sneaked into Chang'an several times, and even sneaked into the palace several times, just to determine whether Chu Yun was still alive, he really didn't find Chu Yun's breath, and even recently, he entered the homes of several officials, and those people blatantly talked about Chu Yun's disappearance, Liu Dog was really sure that Chu Yun had either disappeared or died. That's why he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, after all, although the Xia State took advantage of the decline of the Dai Kingdom to occupy a large piece of grassland, but the population resources were very poor, and when the Ming and Xia States were in the honeymoon period, the Xia Kingdom did not get enough resources from the Ming Dynasty, which was also an important reason why they had a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yun is such a smart person, how can he raise a tiger to leave a problem, how can he give good things to the Tiefu people, Chu Yun has always regarded the Tiefu people as a dog, so it is not surprising that Chu Yun's meanness towards Tiefu caused Liu Dog's betrayal. But Chu Yun didn't regret it even if he knew, if he really gave the technology of iron smelting or something to the wild Tie Fu, then they would probably become the next Xiongnu and the Qian, these ethnic combat power that grew up in the grassland was really extremely powerful, of course, no matter how powerful these people were, they would fall into the Huahua world of the Han people, this is an iron law.

After Liu Dog saw that the occupation was in a stalemate, on the one hand, he preserved his strength, and on the other hand, he also encouraged other countries to fight with Daming, of course, in fact, after he betrayed Daming, he was still very afraid that Chu Yun would not have an accident, anyway, under the leadership of Liu Dog, Xia Guo would fight to the death for a while and would not contribute for a while, which made people look very entangled.

Xie Ai listened to the reports of his subordinates in an orderly manner, and the battle situation in Bingzhou has been stabilized, although he was besieged by more than 300,000 enemies, and he only had about 100,000 under his own command, but he was not panicked, the opponents were not united This is one thing, and the other is that he is very confident in himself. Chu Yun promoted him from a captive to a general in charge of his own affairs, and taught him martial arts, he respected and loved Chu Yun, and treated Chu Yun as his father, he was a big member, how could he not know that Chu Yun could not be closed, and Chu Yun was injured and in a coma He didn't know that he was blocked by Wang Guifei and Liu Guifei. But it did not hinder his heart to serve Chu Yun in the slightest, everything he did was given by Chu Yun, and he wanted to guard the world for His Majesty.

Therefore, although he was besieged and sent a letter to the imperial court, he did not ask for help, he was confident that he could cope with the current situation, and did not want to make trouble for the imperial court.

"Report to the general, an angel has arrived from Chang'an. The guards walked into Shay's camp to report.

"Oh, come with me to meet you. Xie Ai stood up and beckoned to the rest of the generals and said.

"General, the angel just never sent a letter and told the general that there was no need to greet him with great fanfare. After the guard finished speaking, Xie Ai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and asked the rest of the people to go out and invite the angel in.

"General Wang?" Xie Ai exclaimed in disbelief, it turned out that this messenger turned out to be Wang Jie, who was equal to him and was known as the Ming Twin Generals, Xie Ai hurriedly greeted him.

"General Xie, there's not much nonsense, this is a letter from Your Majesty to you, look at it, I still have important tasks to leave first. Wang Jie didn't talk nonsense, he turned around to leave, but Xie Ai grabbed him.

"General Wang, do you mean that Your Majesty is out of the customs?" Xie Ai asked happily and eagerly.

Wang Jie looked at Xie Ai seriously, Xie Ai's heart sank, and suddenly Wang Jie laughed, "Haha, Brother Xie, Your Majesty is out of the customs, this time Your Majesty wants to play a big game, didn't they Zhao Guo unite with Tiefu's group of traitors to betray my Daming? This time, Your Majesty will also use his own way to govern himself, I just want to follow Your Majesty to carry out the mission, and we can both follow Your Majesty to play a big game this time." What to do, it's all on the letter, this is written to you by Your Majesty, I'll go first, Your Majesty is still waiting for me. ”

After Wang Jie finished speaking, Xie Ai was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to pull out the letter after sending Wang Jie away.

"Someone, gather all the generals for me to come to the big tent. Xie Ai read it several times, his face was full of joy, and after he thought he had understood the plan, he immediately gathered everyone to prepare.

After Wang Jie left, he rode a horse and hurried dozens of miles away, and Chu Yun leisurely leaned on a tree and poured himself a drink.

"Done?" Chu Yun drank all the fruit wine in one gulp, the chilled fruit wine was really delicious, and only Chu Yun, a person who carried space with him, could be so extravagant.

"It's done, Your Majesty, I personally handed it over to General Xie. After Wang Jie finished speaking, Chu Yun nodded, Wang Jie is still very reliable.

"Little Prince, this time I will hand over 100,000 Tiefu cavalry to your command, are you confident?" Chu Yun said happily. Wang Jie was stunned after hearing this, he only knew that Chu Yun had something to do with him, and he really didn't know what to do. Hearing Chu Yun say Tie Fu, Wang Jie didn't know why, because Tie Fu was an enemy.

"Your Majesty, Tiefu betrayed our country and is now an enemy of our country, how can they obey my command. Wang Jie said with a smile.

Chu Yun laughed out loud after hearing this, the wine jug and wine glass in his hand disappeared under Wang Jie's gaze, Wang Jie was shocked when he saw this scene, Chu Yun turned over and got on the horse, and Wang Jie also hurriedly got on the horse.

"Little prince, don't believe it, I will take you to the Tiefu camp now, and let Liu Dog bastard hand over the command of the Tiefu army to you, you just need to give me command of the troops. Chu Yun laughed, and without waiting for Chu Yun's command, the black horse ran up by itself, although Wang Jie was suspicious in his heart, he still hurriedly chased after him.
