In the eighth year of Zhengyang, the Northwest Army invaded Dongmin on a large scale.

In the early years, after experiencing the baptism of war, Dongmin lost several counties, and the territory was less than half of that of Western Chu, the largest vassal state.

Although Dongmin has no borders with foreign enemies and no opportunity to train troops for a long time, it has extremely rich experience in water warfare because the border area has been harassed by pirates all year round.

It's just that Chu Yujia will give them a chance to fight a water war?

At ten points in the middle of the eighth year of Zhengyang, Chu Yujia led more than 70,000 people of the Northwest Army to take advantage of the fact that the East Min Water Army had not yet returned to help, and traveled lightly to borrow the road Wu Yue to continue to go south, build a fortress on the floating water, and then cross the Yangtze River into the territory of East Minxia County.

On the same day, they conquered Chunshan City in Xia County and besieged Wu'an Mansion, the county city.

In April of the eighth year of Zhengyang, Feng Jianyuan, the general of Dongmin, led 300,000 troops of Dongmin to garrison three cities and thirteen counties, and built a northern defense line to resist the attack of the Northwest Army.

Chu Yujia immediately led the army to attack, captured three cities in one day, and broke through the northern defense line of Dongmin in five days, forcing Feng Jianyuan to lead the army to retreat south.

In the following month, the Northwest Army once again led the army south, and the Dongmin Royal Court once again sent an additional 50,000 reinforcements to Dongyongfu in Luojun.

Dongyongfu is surrounded by water on all sides, and the garrison is more than 100,000.

Chu Yujia once again ordered the Northwest Army to build a fortress on the water, capture its city, annihilate 100,000 enemy troops, and enter Dongyong Mansion.

At this time, the Northwest Army had approached Taizhou City, the capital of the Eastern Min Dynasty, and the place it passed was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the enemy army was looking at the wind and surrendering.

In May of the eighth year of Zhengyang, Min Wang Dongyou increased his troops again, blocked all his family funds, and stationed in the southern cities of the capital to resist the Northwest Army.

This time, the Northwest Army was in trouble, and the grain and grass they carried were not much, and the back road had been blocked by the Dongmin Water Army, and there was no possibility of retreating at all.

Moreover, the Dongmin side also knew very well the style of the Northwest Army in grabbing where it went, and before the Northwest Army was stationed in the south, it had already withdrawn the people to a position further south, and when the Northwest Army came to the south, there was no way to grab and retreat, and there was a dilemma for a while.

At the same time, Feng Jianyuan, the general of Dongmin, seized the opportunity to march and confront the Northwest Army head-on.

Chu Yujia immediately made a decision, led the army to retreat for 300 miles, and returned to occupy three cities and one county.

Feng Jianyuan was unforgiving, and once again led the army to advance three hundred miles, and divided his troops into two roads on the way, seeing that the posture was to completely annihilate the Northwest Army.

When Feng Jianyuan's army came, the Northwest Army did not retreat but advanced, and the Northwest Army of more than 65,000 people, the whole army was dispatched to break the defense line built by Feng Jianyuan's 150,000 Dongmin army.

Subsequently, more than 60,000 troops in the northwest did not hesitate, and the whole army went south and surrounded Taizhou City.

Outside Taizhou City, Chu Yujia personally beat the drum, and the soldiers of the three armies all fought for their lives, and when Feng Jianyuan led the army to help, Min Wang Dong Youye was captured alive by Chu Yujiasheng.

In June of the eighth year of Zhengyang, as King Min was captured alive by Chu Yujia, the royal family was slaughtered by the Northwest Army, and the Eastern Min Kingdom was declared destroyed, leaving only Feng Jianyuan to lead the army to resist stubbornly.

And Feng Jianyuan's one, for the Northwest Army, their stubborn resistance is meaningless, people can't live without heads, trees can't live without bark, they don't even have the main brain, and naturally they won't be able to jump for long.

But at this time, a piece of news unfavorable to Ye Guo also suddenly appeared.

Later Jin and Wei, the two major vassal states took advantage of the situation to declare war on Ye under the banner of welcoming back the Son of Heaven, and gathered an army of 500,000 to attack Ye.

In this regard, the Son of Heaven was furious and angrily denounced the two countries as petty people.

King Ye Zhao Kuan was even more furious, and he did not hesitate to declare war on the two countries.

The 500,000-strong army, the lineup is very luxurious, and it is also the maximum number of combatable soldiers that the two countries can come up with.

Originally, the two countries were full of confidence, but they hit their heads on the iron sheet.

Because after the Northwest Army left, King Ye Zhao Kuan knew that there would be this moment, as early as when he arrived at Huling Pass, a total of 500,000 troops from the top and bottom of Ye were mobilized to the east, and an iron defense line was set up in the east.

And what made the two countries even more embarrassed was that later, Zhao Kuan, the king of Ye, led the army to march in person, defeated the coalition forces of the two countries outside Tongjing Pass, and captured a total of 50,000 prisoners from the two countries.

For these 50,000 people, Zhao Kuan killed them all with a wave of his hand.

It was only at this time that everyone remembered that King Ye Zhao Kuan was not a literati king, but a war ghost who could be on a par with Chu Yujia on the battlefield.

Once upon a time, this king had studied with Chu Yujia's father, Chu Qianwen, for many years, and had personally led the king on the battlefield.

is also from the same person as Chu Yujia, how can he be worse than Chu Yujia?

It's just that Chu Yujia's light has always been too strong, covering up the aura of this king.

But how could this not be the king's deployment?

He just wants the world to see himself clearly, and then waits for an opportunity like this.

After defeating the coalition forces of the two countries, the Ye army took advantage of the situation to attack, and the 200,000 Ye army tiger and wolf division broke through the twelve cities of the two counties and two prefectures of the Later Jin Dynasty in one day, and the troops came to the city of Ningchuan, the capital of the country, five days later.

In total, it took less than half a month to capture Wang Tuosheng, the king of Jin, and destroy the country of the Later Jin.

Since then, the world no longer dares to look down on this monarch who has been promoting his ministers all along, but does not reveal the slightest ability.

But is it too late?

This also has to ask Wei and the Later Jin.

When the Northwest Army marched into Western Chu under the leadership of Chu Yujia, the Later Jin and Wei States, known as the Northern Twin Heroes, ceased to exist, and the territory completely fell into the hands of Ye State.

And the Ye State has also expanded its territory from the northwest wilderness to cover the entire north, even including the Dongmin region in the south.

In the center of its territory, there is only one obstacle left, the Qi State.

In the south, the Northwest Army and the Yuyun Army also fought successively along the way, and destroyed Western Chu in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the eighth year of Zhengyang.

Since then, the princes of the world have only left the Ye Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Later Song Dynasty, Wu Yue and the Qi Kingdom.

And the Ye State also became a behemoth from a small territory at the beginning, after the territory north of the Yangtze River in Tunbin, the former Shu, the Later Jin, the Wei State, the Eastern Min State, and the Western Chu Yangtze River.

But does this show Zhao Kuan's ambition?

Now that he has exposed his forbearance, Zhao Kuan has no possibility of turning back.

In March of the ninth year of Zhengyang, after a lapse of half a year, Ye Guo once again provoked a dispute and started a war with Wu Yue.

Now, many places have just been conquered, so he desperately needs merit to establish his prestige.

And now there are too many generals and too good in Ye State, and they are not afraid of war at all.

In this battle, the Northwest Army, which had sacrificed a huge amount before, stayed behind to defend the Ye country, and the elite of the 300,000 Ye army almost went out to attack Wu Yue.

After all, Wu Yue is an old power, and once the war starts, it will immediately fall into a quagmire and enter a stalemate.

The war began in March of the ninth year of Zhengyang and lasted until January of the twelfth year of Zhengyang.

This time, Zhao Kuan couldn't help it, so he had to bring the Northwest Army, which had been cultivating for three years, to the battlefield.

The Northwest Army, which has been cultivating for more than three years, is still like a bamboo, and it has won successive battles.

The war lasted for more than a year, and under the command of Chu Yujia, Wu Yue destroyed the country.

At this point, the princes north of the Yangtze River are only left with one part of the Qi State.

On the way back, Chu Yujia provoked a dispute in the north, and the Qiye War broke out again.

Although the army that was originally withdrawn from the battlefield was tired, but the morale was high, the war only lasted for half a year, and the four armies of the east, west, south, north and south of the Qi State were all wiped out, and the city of the King of Qi was also breached, and the Qi State was destroyed......

To the north of the Yangtze River, even the territory of the Son of Heaven fell under the control of the Ye State, while the south was under the control of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with only one Later Song Dynasty sandwiched in it.

After that, Ye Guo entered a period of cultivation and rectification, and it has been safe and stable, but everyone knows that such a calm is only temporary, and the dispute between the north and the south will break out one day.

But this point of outbreak needs an opportunity.

And now, he finally responded to what Zhao Kuan said to Wang Dantian back then, he sat in the north of the Yangtze River, she sat in the south of the Yangtze River, and in the end, who is the master of the world, can only be one of the two of them.
