This is a half-year-long march of suffering, and I don't know how many difficulties there are, not to mention anything else, just grain and grass, and it will all cost its old life.

Besides, even Fan Yi's army worked hard and spent more than half a year to get out of Wuxia. But at the exit of Wuxia, there is a majestic city waiting for them.

At that time, Fan Yi's army, which took half a year to finally get out of Wuxia, will be really dumbfounded, and will be blocked under the city of the gorge. Or even the total annihilation......

In fact, if it weren't for Fan Yi's successful examples to refer to, he would not have thought of a plan to counterattack and attack Chengzhou upstream from the downstream.

This side of the world is an example of how the Guò waterway has never been defeated by attacking Chengzhou.

However, it is no wonder that although the history of this world is long, the development time of the three states of Jiangzuo is not long, and the role of the great river waterway is not obvious. No dynasty has ever built a powerful river division.

Therefore, when attacking Chengzhou, troops are generally sent from Qinzhou or Lingzhou.

Although the mountain roads in those places were also quite dangerous, the difficulty of sending troops was much smaller. It's not like going upriver from a waterway, it takes half a year just to walk the 700-mile waterway.

If Fan Yi didn't know that in another world, there were two examples of the southern lower reaches of the regime, which went upstream from the waterway and attacked Shuzhong, he would not have such an idea.

Both of these occurred in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once in Huan Wen and once in Liu Yu.

In fact, those two successes bullied that there was no strong sailor in Shu. And now there is no empty path and there is no powerful sailor.

What's even worse is that the Dongyu Water Division is too powerful, although the Chengzhou Water Division has the advantage of upstream. But he has never been out of Wuxia, let alone had the opportunity to fight.

Therefore, this Chengzhou sailor is not strong. Fan Yi's sailors had an absolute advantage, although this advantage was almost offset by the reverse current of Wuxia.

But after this is leveled, there is no way to block Fan Yi's army from entering Chengzhou from the waterway.

As for putting some fireboats to harass these things, it's really just a trail. It can also play a little role in dealing with unprepared people and make people scramble. But for those who are prepared, even the slightest effect will not work.

Rao is like this, Fan Yi has already had all kinds of psychological and material preparations for the difficulties of this journey, but the difficulty of this journey has also made the army led by Fan Yi suffer enough.

This road slowly moved westward, because it was a countercurrent, and the waterway was treacherous, and the speed was very slow, and it was not until June of the 11th year of Changping that it arrived at the White Emperor City.

In the entire 700 miles of Wuxia, 20,000 troops walked for more than six months, and it was not until summer that they arrived at Xiakou City.

During this period, the Chengzhou Navy Division sent troops to attack and harass several times. However, in the upper reaches of Chengzhou, the waterway is not wide. The lack of big ships is even more lacking in experience in water warfare. Although he tried his best, he couldn't stop the footsteps of Fan Yi's army.

However, the current Xiakou City is full of large armies, and there are 20,000 troops stationed here.

You must know that this gorge mouth city is located at the mouth of the Great River Wu Gorge, surrounded by water on three sides, dominating the water and land to Jin, because of the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight.

At this time, the 20,000 troops stationed there were 100,000 soldiers, and they did not want to attack in a short time. Not to mention that Fan Yi's army was only the same 20,000.

According to the art of war, the number of people besieging a city is not three or five times that of defending a city, and it is simply impossible to capture a city.

However, no one thought of it. In the Dongyu fleet, only a few artillery pieces were launched, and a few cannons were bombarded at Xiakou City, in the sound of explosions that the sky and the earth cracked. In less than half an hour, the defenders of the entire Xiakou City were frightened and lost their souls and hurriedly surrendered.

Speaking of which, this cannon is still very rudimentary, and it is not very powerful. It's not so easy to break through the city walls.

But this thing is only the first time it has been born, and between the bombardments, the ground shakes. It was as if the whole city was trembling.

Where had these defenders heard of it? Even thought the gods were angry. Naturally, he was frightened and depressed, and obediently raised the white flag and surrendered.

In fact, many new weapons. When it first came out, it was just to scare people. The real combat power is quite limited.

In particular, when such a weapon was first introduced, it brought the most shock and threat to people.

The city of Xiongcheng at the mouth of the gorge was garrisoned with 10,000 troops. However, in just half an hour, the city gate was opened and surrendered.

When the news came out, the whole state shook. At this time, it was equivalent to the gate of Chengzhou City, and the whole was open to Fan Yi. Xiakou City is only a few hundred miles away from Chengzhou City......

Just when the fair king woke up from the singing and dancing, he mobilized his army in a panic, and prepared to fight to the death with Fan Yi's army.

What no one expected happened, just behind Chengzhou, a warning suddenly came from Qiqi County in the southwest.

I don't know where a large army came from, suddenly under the banner of Dongyu, came out of the reckless mountains, and had occupied the entire Qiqi County, heading towards Chengzhou.

For a while, the fair king Li Zhi was completely flustered. Originally, Fan Yi was not prepared at all for such a light capture of Xiakou City.

However, now Fan Yi not only easily captured Xiakou City, but also killed a large army from behind.

It's like a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door. The enemies of Qiqi County have not yet been defeated, but the enemy has already captured Xiakou City with Wuxia.

When he heard the news, Li Zhi was almost stupid. He didn't understand how Fan Yi defeated the Xiakou City, which was guarded by 20,000 soldiers, unless the defenders surrendered directly.

However, what made Li Zhi even more puzzled was where did the Dongyu soldiers and horses attacked by Qiqi County come from?

You must know that this county was originally a barbaric place, with a sparse population, and most of them were local natives. Outside of Qiqi County, there are deep mountains and valleys, vast and dense forests. Stretches for thousands of miles.

Where did the enemy army emerge in such a place?

In short, this Li Zhi definitely did not expect. The army led by Fan Yi personally was huge, and the army that was going against the current turned out to be just a partial division.

In fact, long before Fan Yi swore to go on the expedition. Fan Yi had already dispatched Shen Tuhu to crusade against the Southern Wilderness again. Troops swept away the tribes of the Southern Wilderness.

In a great battle, the Holy Mountain fell. Some of the Southern Wilderness Witches surrendered and were relocated to the plain where Yunhang Lake is located. More often than not, they have taken refuge in the mountains. It's already a problem!

However, this time, the Dongyu army did not seem to let them go. still fought into the deep mountains and dangerous places, broke hundreds of tribes in a row, and conquered nearly 200,000 witches.

This was a brilliant victory, after all, Shen Tuhu's troops. Familiar with mountain warfare, and has fought with witches countless times.

Later, he recruited too many shamans of the year, and he was no stranger to shamans, terrain, and jungle warfare.

This is such a brilliant victory, but what everyone didn't expect was that this was not the end.

No one knew that Shen Tuhu was ordered by Fan Yi later. With an army of 10,000, he crossed the holy mountain of the Southern Wilderness and came to the realm of the Poor Strange Wu Clan.

Then with the help of the Qiqi Wu Clan, after more than half a year, Shen Tuhu actually led his men and horses out of the vast mountains and endless jungles, crossed the Qiqi River, and killed into the Qiqi County under Chengzhou from behind.

This is something that no one expected. The entire county was easily taken. Then there is a posture of directly attacking Chengzhou.

Chengzhou is naturally dangerous, surrounded by mountains. Didn't think of it at all. One day, the enemy will appear directly in the hinterland behind him, and for a moment he will be confused. hurriedly dispatched troops and wanted to deal with Shen Tuqi.

And the army led by Fan Yi was not polite, all the way up the river, and also put on a posture of attacking back and forth.

In a panic, Li Zhi simply closed the city and defended himself, and gathered all the troops that could be collected into Chengzhou City.

In the face of such a stupid enemy, Fan Yi naturally would not be polite, and easily occupied the city all the way. is even more pretending that he is not going to fight Chengzhou first, but wants to seize the Jianmen Pass first.

At this time, everyone can see that Li Zhi's general trend has gone, not to mention that there is no empty way to lose the hearts of the people in Chengzhou.

Fan Yi's march was simply smooth to the extreme, and there was no need to attack the city along the way. Cities along the way have surrendered one after another, and even many powerful households have revived, and they have become active.

These people have a deep hatred with the Void Dao, although the Void Dao killing was quite powerful at the beginning. However, the deep roots of these powerful households in the local area are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

After the later Voidless Dao ruled Chengzhou and stopped the head-stunning slaughter at the beginning, there was still a considerable residual force.

At this time, even if he takes revenge, it is time to form the new master of the state. These powerful families have taken action.

Fan Yi is different from Wukongdao, Wukongdao is a demon thief, a common people instigated by religion. And they are naturally opposed.

And Fan Yi was born in a public family, and the Fan family was already a famous family in the world as early as the Fan Zhen era. It is the most famous family in the world among the wealthy and powerful.

It's completely your own person, with a natural closeness. It is the kind of ruler they ideally identify with.

Thus, these powerful families were both trying to get a better position under the new rule. Or is it just to find no empty way to take revenge.

In short, either the inside and the outside should cooperate to help Fan Yi's army take the city, or supply grain, grass and heavy labor along the way.

Faced with this kind of collapse of rebellion and separation, Li Zhi, who was dazed, hurriedly sent a large army to meet Fan Yi head-on.

However, in this atmosphere of total collapse, there are countless local gentry who use various means to buy and win over, and countless people do not use them to the extreme.

Before Fan Yi's army could be dispatched, the 30,000 troops sent out to meet the battle by Wukong Dao surrendered directly and neatly......

The news came back to Chengzhou City, which can be imagined. This Li Zhi was like thunder, but he had no confidence in the loyalty of his troops, and he didn't dare to send out a single unit.

Similarly, the troops under his command were even more panicked.

Not to mention, a few days later. The army led by Shen Tuhu has already entered the city of Chengzhou.

Originally, when he set out, he had only 10,000 horses under his command. At this time, there were as many as 30,000, and Chengzhou City was directly surrounded.

At this moment, there are more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in Chengzhou City. But when the people's hearts were in turmoil, they did not dare to fight, and they were surrounded in the city by an army of 30,000.

At this time, Fan Yi's army was killed at Jianmen Pass.

The Wuxia Waterway is in the east of Chengzhou, but this Jianmen Pass is in the north of Chengzhou. Although they are far apart, they are the two major gateways of Chengdu by land and water.

Fan Yi's army entered Chengzhou from the waterway, as long as he captured the Jianmen Pass again. That is to completely seize the gateway to Chengzhou. The foreign enemy who will commit the crime in the future will be completely locked up outside Chengzhou.

In this way, catch the turtle in the urn. Li Zhi in Chengzhou City can hold on again. Losing the entire Chengzhou, how long can you hold on to just one city?

Jianmen Pass is steep to the extreme, dwelling at the break of Dajian Mountain, with cliffs on both sides, straight into the sky, and the peaks and peaks leaning against the sky like a sword. The cliff is broken, the two walls are opposite, its shape is like a door, so it is called "sword gate". It is claimed that it is a one-man affair, and it is impossible to open it.

However, no matter how steep the checkpoint is, it must be guarded by people, not to mention that no matter which pass, the defense of the city is external, not internal.

Facing Fan Yi's aggressive attack, although the defenders still had 20,000. But the defenders of Jianmen Pass, who were cut off from the back road, easily made the decision to surrender. was easily captured by Fan Yi Jianmen Pass.

At this time, Fan Yi's army swelled to 70,000 people. After leaving 20,000 horses to defend the city, he took the remaining 50,000 troops and slaughtered towards Chengzhou City.

At this time, most of the counties in the entire Chengzhou have all taken refuge in Fan Yi. On the one hand, Fan Yi selected the outstanding local talents of the wealthy family, and on the other hand, he transferred officials from Chu County to govern the place.

even informed Jiang Zuo of the news, and the entire Dongyu court was shocked. Originally, it was just that Fan Yi, the young general, lost his mind and went crazy, thinking about attacking Chengzhou from the Wuxia Waterway.

It's just too long to talk about it like a big joke. When most people had forgotten about this, Fan Yi, who was regarded as a fool by them, had already occupied the entire Chengzhou......

Well, although the city of Chengzhou has not yet been defeated. But at this time, who can't see the trend of catching turtles in the urn?

The news reached the ears of the general Fan Zhen, but the general did not seem to be as happy as others imagined. I just sat alone in the study all night, and on the second day, it seemed that the sharp-eyed people saw that the sideburns were a little white...... It doesn't seem like it was yesterday......

It's just this, I'm afraid no one who is looking for death dares to say it!

In the backyard of the General's Mansion, there is a very quiet and graceful separate courtyard. Fan Zhen rarely comes here.

This time, however, after sitting alone all night, he walked into this solitary compound.

When the servants saw the general coming, they all saluted quietly and avoided the roadside.

It was not until I came to a small garden that I saw a fat, ruddy-faced old man with a long beard who was personally building flower branches, looking like he was enjoying himself.

"Father......" Fan Zhen was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.

This old man is naturally none other than Fan Zhen's father, the commonplace Fan Li of the Dayu Imperial Court back then.

"You're here...... Wait until I'm ready to prune this place......" Fan Li said intently, paying attention to a begonia in front of him.

When the Dayu court crossed the river, this Sikong Fanli naturally migrated to Jiangzuo with the imperial court. Even the entire Fan family, in the earlier days, had migrated over one after another.

"Fan Yi defeated Chengzhou, and now only Chengzhou City has not surrender......ed," Fan Zhen said.

Fan Li was suddenly shocked, and the scissors in his hand stopped. After a long time, he said: "Originally, I thought I was going to die in a foreign land, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance for the leaves to return to their roots......"

"Father's ......"

"When Fan Yi was born, was the room full of red light, like a sunset house?"

"Yes!"

It's been decided for a long time, but listen to it. Fan Li still looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, I can't imagine that my Fan family actually has a day and turns into a snake and a dragon, ruling the world......"

Seeing that Fan Zhen was speechless, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I know why you didn't come to see me all these years, just like a few years ago, I didn't want to see you......

Even between father and son, the word power can't be unraveled!"

Seeing that Fan Li said it so clearly, Fan Zhen was shocked. He would never have said such a thing to anyone. But in front of Fan Li, there is nothing to hide.

What's more, Fan Li himself is like watching fire.

"Back then, you were a general and in charge of the government. If you were a mediocre person, it wouldn't be fine, but I would also be the third prince of the court. But he can only look at his son, the scenery is in power, but he can only retire gloomily. Do you feel better with me like this?"

Fan Zhen was silent, if it weren't for that. The two sides are embarrassed to see each other. I won't live together, but I rarely see each other anymore.

"About now, you also have the taste of Lao Tzu and me. Seeing his own son, he is wise and martial, and the strong master is better than the ancestor...... It's nice to say, but I'm afraid only I know what it tastes like!"

Fan Zhen's empathy is exactly like this. As his father said, if only he was a mediocre person. Just sit back and enjoy the blessings of your son.

However, as a family that is extremely capable and in the prime of life. watched the rise of a younger son, taking away all the power in his hands little by little. Naturally, it won't be any better.

Not to mention, it's the world. The country is picturesque, how many heroes bend their waists?

Why is it not me who laid down this picturesque hero? Let me personally pass on the descendants of the country?

This is much better for his son to lay down the country and worship himself as the emperor.

"Are you unwilling? But what can you do?" Fan Li said lightly: "I am one of the three princes of the Dayu Dynasty, and I am deeply favored by Dayu. In any case, I will not live to the ...... of the establishment of the new dynasty"

Hearing Fan Li say this, Fan Zhen was shocked: "Father......"

Fan Li laughed at himself and said: "In the past, Emperor Wu of Great Yan said that I was deeply favored by Great Wu, and I would rather die than stand on my own, I didn't expect that I would have such qualifications!"

In the past, Emperor Wu of Great Yan grasped the power of the Great Wu court and shocked the world. Countless sycophants persuaded him to advance, and this Great Yanwu Emperor replied like this.

Finally, after the death of Emperor Wu of Great Yan, he was buried with the rites of a minister. After his son inherited the position of auxiliary government, he immediately forced the Zen position of the emperor of Great Wu. Later, he posthumously named his father Emperor Wu.

Fan Zhen has read a lot, and she has naturally heard of this allusion, and she felt it for a while.

If Fan Yi were here, he would find similar allusions in another world.

Emperor Cao Cao of Wei was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes and laid a great foundation. In his later years, in the face of many persuaders, he once said, if the destiny of heaven is returned, I am the king of Zhou Wen!

This is much clearer than the Great Yan Martial Emperor of this world!

It's not that I don't want to be the emperor by myself, it's just that I've been a courtier of the Han Dynasty all my life. I'd better leave this matter to my son!

After reading the articles and classics, Fan Zhen understood the meaning very well. This usurpation is not a good thing, both in terms of name and luck.

This is Fan Lizheng very implicitly admonishing him.

It's not just Fan Li who has been Dayu's courtier all his life, but also his Fan Zhen, as a relative, the capital of the start is all given by the Dayu court.

Once he plots to stand on his own, he must leave a reputation in the history of plotting to usurp the throne.

That's not all, it's more critical. The luck of the new dynasty of the Fan family will be unrelated to Dayu...... The aftermath left behind is very troublesome.

"When my Fan family arrives in Fan Yi, it is the third generation. It is counted as the kindness of the ancestors, not the kindness of Dayu. Therefore, he can abolish the establishment, or even let the Son of Heaven of Dayu Zen in his own house. But you and me, no!"

Cao Cao said: If the destiny of heaven is returned, I will be the king of Zhou Wen! And how can this not be the case with the Sima clan? The so-called heart of Sima Zhao is known to all passers-by. However, he waited until Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty to do the thing of changing the dynasty.

This is not uncaused, but in this Shinto world, it is even clearer.

The father and son of the Fan family, who were born in a big family, deeply understand the truth. Therefore, Fan Li said to Fan Zhen directly: "I will not live until the day when the new dynasty is established......

When Fan Zhen heard this, she suddenly laughed and figured it out completely: "If I think about my family and future generations, wouldn't I live until the day when the new dynasty is established?"

Just thousands of miles away, Fan Yi was watching the military spirit under the city of Chengzhou and in the army.

The military aura in Chengzhou City had dimmed to the extreme, a gray color, and there was a faint strange golden light in it.

If it weren't for the support of this golden light, I'm afraid that Chengzhou City would have surrendered by this time!

You must know that although the besieging army is only 20,000 or 30,000 more than the defenders in Chengzhou City. However, Chengzhou City has the risk of a city wall, occupying a favorable location, and the gap between the two sides can be smoothed. R1152
