empire wars

Chapter 173
In the land of Mobei, Gongsun Chi personally led an army of 20, and after several months of experience, he finally captured a royal court of Beidi.

Boom boom boom!
There were bursts of thunder in the sky above the royal court, and the sky and the earth changed color.

Below, there are 20 Youzhou soldiers, looking solemn, looking at a figure standing on the golden platform.

General Gongsun Chi of Zhenbei!

At this time, the momentum on his body soared, and a wave of spiritual energy gathered in front of him, forming a storm.

After a long time, it fell with a sound of thunder.

Gongsun Chi opened his eyes, and his whole person changed dramatically.

"The innate realm is as I wish!"

Gongsun Chi clenched his fists and flew into the air without getting angry.

Looking down, enjoying the reverent eyes of 20 soldiers.

"General, something big happened in the Central Plains."

The generals under his command reported the recent events one by one, "Senior Xu has sent a message that we should return to the Central Plains and prepare to conquer Qin Yuan's army."

"Qin Yuan. I didn't expect him to grow up so fast."

In Gongsun Chi's eyes, there was a strong fighting spirit. "Now, even the strong in the innate realm are no longer his opponents?"

The seven of Li Hongli are senior innate experts. They are not like him who just broke through, nor are they pseudo-innate like King Nanjing. They are real innate experts, the pinnacle of combat power in this world.

However, under Qin Yuan's army, the majestic seven innate powerhouses and the Yizhou army of more than 30 people still had no resistance at all.

"Since it's Senior Xu's intention, then the matter must be very serious. We will leave 1 troops to stay in the royal court, and all other troops will follow me back to Youzhou, Beiyuan."

Gongsun Chi said to the general.

Xu Xiuwen is the innate powerhouse who has always supported Gongsun Chi. It is thanks to Xu Xiuwen that he can achieve what he is today.

There are even very few people who know that Xu Xiuwen is the supporter behind Gongsun Chi.

Now, Xu Xiuwen even exposed his relationship with Gongsun Chi, and even sent an order to let Gongsun Chi return to the Central Plains. The matter must be very serious, far more than the time he dealt with the Tiandao Army.

"Are we finally going to meet on the battlefield?"

The figure of that young man flashed in Gongsun Chi's mind.

When we first met, Qin Yuan was just a little-known little man, but he stirred up the situation on the Yidu battlefield, and his reputation resounded throughout the land of Shenzhou. Now he has become a powerful prince, attracting the fear of other princes, and even joining forces deal with.

Unify Xiyong and Liangzhou, conquer the northern Qiang and one emperor and eight kings in the north, conquer Tianchuan and Yizhou in the south, and go out to several counties in Yidu, winning consecutive battles without a single defeat.

Today's territory has at least three and a half states, with more than 200 million soldiers, and it is impressively qualified to aspire to the throne.

And Gongsun Chi has been able to unify his own territory, merge with Youzhou in Beiyuan, and win half of the territory of the Beidi tribe in the past few days. Compared with Qin Yuan, it is simply a world of difference.

"What a Qin Yuan, you are really audacious."

Yuan Zi immediately received the battle report of the battle of Jiuxia Peak, "However, he won't be able to jump for a long time. He has offended the entire Taishan Covenant, offended the world's aristocratic families, and wants to unify the mainland of China. It's simply fantastic."

"Order to gather 50 soldiers from all over the country, no, 60, and prepare to fight with the local herdsman."

Yuan Zi received the news from his ancestor, and immediately issued a series of combat orders.

Yuan Zi's expansion, relying on the prestige and strength of the Yuan clan, went very smoothly.

Not only took Jizhou in the east of the river east and Yingzhou in the exile, but also occupied most of the central Chuyu state.

Occupying two and a half states, if Qin Yuan had not captured Tianchuan Yizhou, Yuan Zi would have been the number one prince in the entire world.

Moreover, Yuan Zi's expansion of power was not hindered by too many families and forces, and it went very smoothly.

If he was given a few more years, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem to capture five or six major states.

Relying on the prestige of the Yuan family, he became the master of the world.

Unlike Qin Yuan, every time he conquered a place, he would be fiercely resisted by the local aristocratic family forces.

Even when they saw Qin Yuan's power was extremely powerful, they even united to resist Qin Yuan and set various restrictions on the innate treaty.

Now that the boycott is unsuccessful, the seven strong men have been lost instead. Now we have united the power of the entire Taishan Covenant and the princes of the family to target Qin Yuan with all our strength, and he is bound to be regarded as the second Heavenly Dao Army, the second King of Southern Jing, until he is completely defeated. .

"There are still four counties in Chuyu Prefecture that have not been captured. Do you want to suspend the expedition?"

asked the counselor beside him.

"No, to win those four counties, Zhongchu and Yuzhou are bound to win."

Yuan Zi said.

"Dividing troops into battle may not be conducive to our development."

"Then invest more troops and try to win the entire Central Chu Yuzhou within a month at the fastest speed."

Yuan Zi thought for a while and said to everyone.

"Yes."

The counselors and generals below responded one after another.

With Yuan Zi's current strength, it is not a big problem at all to mobilize an army of 100 million.

But I also thought about it. If it is a blitzkrieg, it will be okay. In a month or two, there is no need to worry about resource issues.

If it takes a year and a half, even Yuan Zi, who owns two and a half prefectures, may not be able to withstand the food supplies and various resources of a 100 million army.

After all, not every prince is like Qin Yuan who can afford so many troops without worrying about logistics.

"This time, Qin Yuan must be completely defeated."

Yuan Zi's eyes showed a fierce and fierce light.

The current situation in the world is basically clear, and the territory is almost divided.

Next, there is a melee among the princes.

Yuan Zi ignored so many princes, and the only one who threatened Qin Yuan was Qin Yuan.

"Qin Yuan, I really saw the right person."

In Jingzhou City, King Nanjing said with a tired face.

At the beginning, when he was in Youjiang City, he saw that Qin Yuan was not simple, and had the talent of a real dragon.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Qin Yuan once again stirred up the world.

"The news came from the aristocratic family in the Central Plains, asking us to join them in the crusade against Qin Yuan, and even to use Jingzhou in Nanjiang as the first battlefield."

Sitting next to King Nanjing, Xuanying looked pale and wrinkled, as if she had aged ten years.

These days, the King of Southern Jing has been oppressed from all sides, and Xuanying is also having a hard time, and even took no less than five shots, which is a very serious waste of his own origin.

Although the innate powers are strong, they will consume a lot of energy and background every time they make a move. Once the strength is exhausted, they will not be able to use the innate power. I am afraid that they are only a little stronger than ordinary acquired warriors.

"Hmph, it's just a whimsical idea. I think if Qin Yuan loses, we will be the next to be unlucky."

The King of Southern Jing snorted coldly, "Not only will we not attack, but we will even strive for cooperation with him, and take advantage of these aristocratic families."

The situation in Jingzhou in Nanjiang is not optimistic. There are the remnants of Tiandao and An Yingchen's Northern Qiang army in the north, the alliance of princes in Nanhuang Yuezhou in the south, and Li Deyi in Tianwu Prefecture in the east.

If Qin Yuan completely takes over Tianchuan Yizhou, the west will also face pressure from Qin Yuan.

This is also one of the plots of the Central Plains family, planning to set the battlefield in Jingzhou of Southern Jing. If there is a chance, Qin Yuan and the King of Nanjing will be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"I have been running Nanjiang Jingzhou for decades, and the foundation I have accumulated has been exhausted in just a few years. Now I am surrounded by enemies on all sides. If I continue, it will just be a slow death. This will be the biggest crisis I have encountered."

The King of Nanjing said with emotion, "However, as the so-called crisis is, danger is also an opportunity. Find a glimmer of life in the predicament."

In the mountains and seas of Qingzhou, Zhao Shangqian can be said to be the most embarrassing prince.

Although he unified Qingzhou, Qinghai, but next, he was faced with a difficult problem, and it was difficult to continue to expand.

To the north is Gongsun Chi, to the west and south is Yuan Zi's territory, and to the east, there is an ocean, boundless, with only scattered islands and reefs.

If you want to expand your territory, your only hope is to defeat Gongsun Chi or Yuan Zi.

However, this possibility is extremely slim.

Among the three, he is the weakest. Even Gongsun Chi and Yuan Zi are thankful for not focusing on him. How dare they have other thoughts.

"I hope this time the crusade against Tyrant Qin will turn around."

Zhao Shangqian also placed his hopes on this opportunity to crusade against Qin Yuan.

I hope that the world will change and this dilemma will be broken.

As for Li Deyi, who was born in the grass and lakes, he thrived in the southeast.

First, with the help of the King of Southern Jing, he obtained the official position of General Zheng Bei, and then he got the full support of Tianwu State Shepherd and various families. A civil rebel army of ten thousand people.

While dispatching rebels to crusade against the King of Southern Jing, with the help of the Tianwuzhou family, they assembled an army of 30 and captured Jiujiang and Yangzhou.

At this time, it was Li Deyi's most energetic moment.

"King Nanjing can only rely on his past foundation to support him now. It will only take two years at most, and he will definitely fail."

Li Deyi's body no longer had the rough aura of the world, but instead had the majesty of a superior person.

"It's a pity that Qin Yuan stepped in at this time."

Li Deyi sighed softly.

Behind him are the major families in Tianwu Prefecture and Jiujiang Yangzhou, and he can be regarded as the spokesperson for the support of many aristocratic families.

Therefore, this time the aristocratic family jointly attacked Qin Yuan, Li Deyi had no choice.

On small matters, he can make decisions on his own, but on the overall situation, especially on major matters related to the interests of the family, he does not have much say, and must reach agreement with the family behind him.

"Brother, this is also our chance to defeat Qin Yuan and increase our prestige again. Then we will not be so passive, at least we will not become puppets of the aristocratic family."

Li Deyong whispered to Li Deyi.

"This matter is of great importance, and we must go all out. I have decided to conquer Qin Yuan with an army of 50. I hope that all the families will fully support it. I will leave this matter to you."

Li Deyi said, "Try to get resource support from the aristocratic families. This time I personally lead the troops and you sit in the rear. This is an opportunity. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Li Deyong nodded firmly.

Southern Wilderness Yuezhou, although only one state, but the territory is not small, somewhat similar to the Northern Qiang and Beidi in the north.

The ruler of this place is not one of the princes, but the 'Zhu Nan' alliance of princes united by many princes.

Behind them are aristocratic families from Guangdong Province in the southern desert and a small number of aristocratic families from the Central Plains.

The leader of the Zhunan Alliance is Situ Jianbiao from the Situ family, who controls one-third of the Southern Wilderness Guangdong Province.

However, the greatest significance of the birth of this alliance is not to fight for hegemony, but to deal with King Nanjing, it is a murderous knife of the power of the family.

"Have a truce with King Nanjing and attack Qin Yuan? What the hell is this?"

When Situ Jianbiao heard the intention of the family representatives, he frowned immediately.

"Now King Nanjing is just a paper tiger, and Qin Yuan is a dragon. He even intends to turn into a real dragon. He must be eradicated."

A family representative said solemnly.

"But these years, our side has been fighting endlessly with the King of Southern Jing, and we are at the end of our rope, unable to start another war."

Situ Jianbiao complained. "The state is also in turmoil. Some barbarians have launched riots and had to send part of the army to suppress it."

Nanhuang Yuezhou is nominally the territory of the Zhunan Alliance, but it actually controls less than [-]% of the area.

Moreover, there are still many aborigines, Yue barbarians, etc. who are constantly resisting and conflicts break out.

Different from other vassal forces, Nanhuang Yuezhou is in a state of turmoil, and the ruler of the Zhunan Alliance is also in a precarious situation, just like a miniature version of the Liehan Dynasty.

"This is your business. This time, 30 troops must be dispatched. Otherwise, there will be no more food resources in the future."

Another representative of the aristocratic family glanced at Situ Jianbiao and said calmly.

"Okay, I agree to send troops, but you need to provide the required ordnance and food."

"Row!"

Luodu, Zhao Mansion.

"It's finally come to this point."

Zhao Xuan and Yang Ling sat face to face, drinking tea and talking.

"Letters from all parties, let us issue an imperial edict to crusade against Qin Yuan, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuan said lightly.

"What do you think? Sit and watch."

Yang Ling said coldly, "The current situation is still unclear. Even if the imperial decree is issued, the coalition forces of the princes may not be able to take Qin Yuan down. On the contrary, once the imperial decree is issued, it will really offend Qin Yuan."

"That's why you like Qin Yuan so much?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and asked.

"I don't like anyone, but I know who is secretly in contact with Qin Yuan."

Yang Ling shook his head.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect Qin Yuan to come to this point. Before, it was just to find a way out for future generations."

Zhao Xuan said without any concealment.

The demise of the Liehan Dynasty is inevitable.

Even if Zhao Xuan controls the land of Sizhou and has no less than 20 elite soldiers and generals, compared to the entire world, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Among the princes with some prestige today, which side has an army less than 20?
However, the Liehan Dynasty was still the nominal ruler, and no matter how young the young emperor was, he was still the emperor.

No prince can bear the name of killing the king.

Therefore, except for the titular rebels of the Tiandao Army, who have been having trouble with the court, the princes from all walks of life have never committed any crime against Sizhou.

"Are we doing nothing?"

Zhao Xuan asked.

"It's not enough to do nothing. Aren't you very optimistic about Qin Yuan? Now he occupies the three prefectures of Beiqiang, Xiyongliang Prefecture, and Tianchuan Yizhou. The name of Prefectural Shepherd is no longer suitable for him. If it were placed before, At least he's a king."

Yang Ling said with a smile, "Why not, how about making him a king with a different surname, in charge of the world's military power?"

"Hiss, you're trying to make trouble. Those aristocratic families must go crazy and fight Qin Yuan forever."
