Chapter 384: Cloud Country

Wangjing, the capital of the Yun Kingdom, is said to have been founded by a degraded prince of the previous dynasty in that area of Great Xia.

At that time, the location of Yunguo was a deserted land.

It wasn't until much later that all kinds of criminals, peasants who fled the famine, and all kinds of people formed a state in that area, and Wangjing became the imperial capital.

After that, the people of that country merged with the natives of the south and established the predecessor of the Chen State.

The original Hao Kingdom was established by an army and natives who had fled before the Great Xia Dynasty.

Later, Great Xia replaced the previous dynasty, and the Yun Kingdom also killed all the royal families of the previous dynasty.

The Gu people overthrew the Hao Kingdom.

In this way, the current situation was finally formed.

Wangjing was a megacity in its time, with a population of more than one million and merchants from all over the world gathering here.

Even some merchants in Great Xia said that compared to the imperial capital of Great Xia, Wangjing was more likeable. At least it's not that dull.

Wangjing is most famous for the flower boats on the Sanhua River, hundreds of huge ships on the mighty river are lit up all night, silk bamboo and laughter go straight to the shore, and every place is a gold cave.

The second is the east of the city, and the small half of the city is full of all kinds of shops, and merchants from all over the world come and go, and even people from the sea come to buy.

Prosperous, drunk and dreaming of death, drunk and gold-obsessed, this is the evaluation that everyone who has been to Wangjing will give.

Even the son of the owner of the island in the sea never wanted to go back after coming to Wangjing, and even gave up the position of the island owner, just to enjoy himself here, which was widely spread in Yunguo, and also made the people of Wangjing proud.

There are also envoys of Chen Guo who have not changed for decades, and Chen Guojun once asked him if he wanted to return to his hometown, but he replied: "I wish to stay here for a lifetime!"

From these two things, you can know a general idea of Wangjing.

A truly addictive place to linger.

However, in these days, the atmosphere of Wangjing has changed somewhat, and even the lingering and melancholy musical instruments on the flower boat in the past are less like the whispers of lovers, and there are more drums and shamisen sounds, which has a lot of murderous atmosphere.

In the past, those jealous fat powder buddies no longer discussed the wind and snow, but discussed the military.

Yun Guo's attack on Da Yao this time was considered revenge by the people of Yun Guo for the revenge that was almost destroyed decades ago.

Although these young people did not experience the original scene, they all thought it was a shame.

Now the army is attacking, which is a matter of greatly boosting the country's prestige and taking revenge.

One by one, there are lively discussions, when will it be able to break into Dayao.

A blind musician in a flower boat shook his head in his heart, he didn't understand those national affairs, but he knew that these boys were too underestimated.

He didn't know much about Da Yao, but he lived from that time to the present, when he was not blind and had seen the horror of those barbarians.

Not only on the boats, but also in the streets and alleys, and in the merchants, there were many discussions about this war.

Yunguo has been calm for too long, and this time the troops were sent to attack the "enemy" who almost wiped out Yunguo, and most of the people in Wangjing focused on this war.

There are also people who are keenly aware that there is an undercurrent surging in the cloud country.

Or maybe someone noticed it a year ago, or even longer.

Therefore, a few members of the Zhang family took advantage of solving the matter of the closure of the shop and went to Lancheng to look for an opportunity to get on the line with Da Yao, but unfortunately the rejection of the ancient clan from foreign clans is still serious.

Although there were foreigners who were chosen by the empress as husbands, they still didn't find any opportunities, and almost walked all over the mansions of the court and the central government with gifts, and most of them were driven out by the porter without even seeing the owner.

Ordinary people in Wangjing only know that the war is a big fight, and everyone is looking forward to the victory.

What they didn't know was that a company of the Zhenxi Army had recently sent seven folds from the Zhenxi Army.

Three of them strongly recommended the withdrawal of troops, but they were all suppressed.

The last four folds are asking for money, food, people, and ordnance.

The first three excerpts are all about the truth, and the last four are knowing that everyone in the court has made a decision, so they try to increase their chances of winning.

"To transfer the Dingbei Army to the west? Now that he has an army of 400,000 is not enough? And the newly developed box crossbow, in the face of 15,000 barbarians, he still needs people?" More than one person felt incredible after seeing the excerpts sent by the Zhenxi Army.

400,000 people, even one person can wash away Sanxi City.

What's more, the Dingbei Army still has other uses, taking the opportunity of attacking Dayao, and taking back the power of those city lords, how can it be possible to send the Dingbei Army to the west.

"Tell him that at least the war will progress before sending in other reinforcements. ”

The people of the Zhenxi Army broke their legs in Wangjing, and in the end they only got twenty more box crossbows, plus the previous sixty vehicles, each of which can fire one hundred and thirty-two powerful crossbows in one round, which is the latest ordnance developed by Yunguo.

The people of the Zhenxi Army walked out of the yamen, spat and foamed unwillingly, and had to scold and go back to report to the commander.

These bastards!

400,000 troops?

The real top use is the 180,000 soldiers of their Zhenxi Army.

But now it's going to attack the city! Those 15,000 barbarians can at least serve as an army of 150,000. Even fools know that it takes at least several times the strength to attack the city, and now the military strength is almost one-to-one to attack the city, even if the Zhenxi army is bloody, it may not be able to defeat Sanxi City.

After receiving the news, Zhu Wuzhen pondered all night and wrote another letter.

"There are clouds in the art of war, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple is to divide it...... A month ago, Daxia surrounded the two cities of Ping and Shun, besieged but not attacked, and the strange soldiers went straight into the ......"

First of all, he explained the art of war, but this time it was not to set the northern army, but to continue to send reinforcements to the cities.

In his letter, he first stated that it would not be possible to attack Sanxi City with the current force.

Even the 700,000 troops of Great Xia besieged Pingcheng and Shuncheng without attacking, and the strange soldiers entered directly, not to mention the Zhenxi army.

Since the Dingbei Army cannot be dispatched, then the cities must continue to send reinforcements. With at least 200,000 more reinforcements, he can besiege Sanxi City and divide part of his forces to go straight to Dayao. If Sanxi City sends troops to rescue, then it is exactly what you want, whether it is to besiege the separated army, or to continue to attack Sanxi City, you can achieve the desired effect.

You can advance or retreat, and you are in an invincible position.

If Sanxi City does not send troops to attack, then it will be the same as Daxia, mainly destroying Dayao's fields and villages.

If the fields and pastures in the north and most of the east are destroyed, Dayao will have a predictable harvest this year.

When Chen Guo sent troops again, he was attacked from several sides, there were soldiers in danger outside, and there was a famine inside, and Dayao naturally couldn't support it.

Since the combined armies of each city have reduced their combat strength, most of the city lord's army was scattered into Dayao, and the military merits were calculated according to the killing of the enemy.

Even civilians are counted according to the soldiers of the ancient clan.

For Zhu Wuzhen, this is the best way to do it at the moment. Since the DPRK didn't want to send the Dingbei Army, and was focused on those city lords, then I would help them.

300,000 city lord coalition troops were thrown into Dayao, even 300,000 ants could bite a few people to death, let alone 300,000 troops.

At that time, each city will act on its own, and it will avoid the result of gathering together to fight instead of rising.

Civilians also count military merits, and there is no need to worry about their lack of work.

It is best if they can lure the ancient soldiers of Sanxi City out, but if they can't lure them out, they can also cause a lot of trouble for Da Yao. As he said, as long as Da Yao's fields are destroyed, what can be seen is that Da Yao will definitely have a famine this year.

The military disaster and the famine are together, even if the cloud country can't defeat it, it can't be defeated.

Even if you don't win on the battlefield, as long as you can drag down Da Yao, you will win.

What Da Xia didn't finish, he continued to do.

What he used was Wu Shenghou's method to bully Dayao and the few people. No matter how strong the strength is, the army is only that, as long as you attack more, you can make the other party take care of one and lose the other, and then show flaws.

Now that the DPRK and China are thinking about how to weaken the cities, Zhu Wuzhen's request at this time can be said to be in line with the wishes of the people in the DPRK.

As he thought, the DPRK and China agreed.

When Zhu Wuzhen heard the news of the DPRK's agreement, he didn't feel happy at all, and some were just tired.
