Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Sheng Zengren's idea was good, but he mispredicted Zeng Shaoqing's ability and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Division.

When Sheng Zengren's Western Region Army took the initiative to move towards Zeng Shaoqing, Zeng Shaoqing also thought of having a fight with Sheng Zengren first to see how good Sheng Zengren was.

As a result, the two went in both directions, met in Guazhou, and had an encounter.

Actually, Sheng Zengren's team is not weak. After all, the Western Region is the westernmost region of Daxia. There is the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north and India controlled by John in the south. It can be said that it is sandwiched between two powerful countries.

The fact that Sheng Zengren can serve as the guardian here speaks volumes.

At least, if John and the Rakshasa Kingdom want to kill Sheng Zengren, they can only launch a large-scale battle.

Therefore, according to the original ranking of forces in various regions of Daxia, Sheng Zengren's Western Region Army ranked among the top five.

However, when Sheng Zengren met the fourth division who could hang up the Sakura Rakshasas and fight them, they suddenly became as if they couldn't fight.

In just one day, Sheng Zengren's two divisions were defeated by Zeng Shaoqing.

Zeng Shaoqing then launched a pursuit, chasing Sheng Zengren's defeated army all the way to the Hami area.

Here, Zeng Shaoqing was delayed for two days.

This is not to say that the defenders in the Hami area are powerful, but that these people are very insidious and do not allow the people in the city to leave the city.

Zeng Shaoqing couldn't let go.

Finally, Zeng Shaoqing also issued an order for the soldiers of the Fourth Division to enter the city and clear out the defenders room by room.

With the help of mortars and grenades, it took Zeng Shaoqing two days to clear out the remaining enemies.

Later, Zeng Shaoqing stayed in Hami for a few days, waiting for people from the Beijing camp to come and join him.

After reuniting with the Beijing camp, Zeng Shaoqing felt that if he continued to fight like this, one city after another, the fighting would last for who knows how long.

So, after discussing with the division commander of the Beijing camp, he decided to go straight to Huanglong and attack Wucheng directly.

All the cities in the middle were skipped. As long as Wucheng could be captured and Sheng Zengren surrendered, there would be no problem of being blocked in returning home or having the army go deep alone.

Zeng Shaoqing had a deep understanding of the strength of the Fourth Division. Through the first two battles with the Western Region Army, he found that the opponent was nothing more than this.

They can't compare to the fighting power of Sakura and the Rakshasa people. In this case, why should I bother with them? Just call him directly.

Regarding Zeng Shaoqing's idea, the division commander in the Beijing camp thought about it and agreed.

So two divisions with more than [-] people rushed directly towards Wucheng.

And Sheng Zengren didn't expect that the other party was so bold that he dared to skip all the cities in the middle and come directly to attack his own city of Wucheng.

Therefore, he was not well-prepared and was unable to leave the city in advance, so Zeng Shaoqing and his men blocked him in Wucheng.

At this time, Sheng Zengren finally became a little scared, so he sent someone to contact Zeng Shaoqing, hoping that the two sides would cease the war and that he would continue to guard the border for Daxia.

Zeng Shaoqing laughed angrily when he heard Sheng Zengnen's suggestion.

He felt that Sheng Zengren couldn't understand the current situation. He clearly had the advantage, so why did he make such a ridiculous proposal?

Does he really think that he can still be safe after betraying Daxia?

Therefore, Zeng Shaoqing didn't say much and directly asked the officer sent by Sheng Zengren to go back and asked him to bring a message to Sheng Zengren.

Let him tell Sheng Zengren that he is not qualified to negotiate terms with Daxia. There are only two ways before him now. One is to surrender unconditionally. Whether he lives or dies depends on the wishes of the prince and the emperor.

The other way is to resist stubbornly and wait for his fourth division to defeat the Western Region Army and then escort him to the capital.

Sheng Zengren didn't want to choose between these two options, so he ordered his Western Region Army to defend Wucheng while asking for help from a certain big shot in the capital.

Later, he felt that it was not safe yet, so he wanted to discuss with the merchants of the John Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom in the city, hoping that the two countries could provide help.

Sheng Zengren said that if the two countries can provide him with help, he is willing to fully open the market to the two countries after the establishment of independence.

In other words, Sheng Zenren said that as long as the two countries were willing to help him, he was willing to turn the entire Western Region into a colony of both countries.

Faced with the conditions offered by Sheng Zengren, John's governor-general in India expressed lack of interest.

This governor is not stupid. He naturally knows the trade agreement reached between John State and Daxia.

That was a business where you could make money just by lying down. Why should you help Sheng Zengren, who was obviously about to be eliminated?

At the same time, helping Sheng Zengren was destined to offend Daxia.

Now all the Western countries regard Daxia as the God of Wealth, and they all want to make more money from Daxia. He had nothing to eat and went to offend Daxia?

The governor was convinced that as long as he really offended Daxia, the capital in John's country would definitely find a way to send him to the gallows.

Therefore, the Governor of the John Empire in India decisively rejected Sheng Zengren's proposal.

At the same time, he also ordered the troops of John's Kingdom to be on strict guard and not to let anyone from the Western Region Army enter their territory.

As for the Rakshasa Kingdom, it's almost the same. After all, they had just made a sum of money from Da Xia, and they could still make a sum of money every year in the future.

In addition, after having money, Nicholas has now focused his attention on the country and wants to quell the domestic rebellion as soon as possible.

How can he have the energy to care about Sheng Zengren's life and death now?

Therefore, after receiving a clear reply from Nicholas II, the governor of the Caucasus region of the Rakshasa Empire also refused to send troops to intervene.

Faced with the clear rejection of both countries, Sheng Zengren became a little desperate. He placed his last hope on the big shot in the capital.

However, the big shot didn't reply to him at all, and the message he sent seemed to be lost in the ocean.

At this time, Sheng Zengren was convinced that he had also been given up by that big shot.

Moreover, the other party didn't even reply to the message, which made it clear that he didn't want to have any contact with him anymore.

Sheng Zengren, who felt abandoned, really felt what despair was this time.

When people are desperate, they either explode and rebound, or they lie down completely.

Sheng Zengren falls into the second category. He chose to lie down completely.

On the one hand, Sheng Zengren ordered the defenders in Wucheng to resist resolutely, claiming that reinforcements were coming, and if everyone persisted, he was hiding in his official residence to enjoy themselves.

In his opinion, after his defeat this time, he might even lose his life. If that's the case, why not take advantage of the last moment to enjoy it?

After he issued the order to hold on, he never showed up again and handed over all military affairs to his deputy.

Since Sheng Zengren was acting like this, how could his deputy do his best?

On the third day after Zeng Shaoqing besieged Wucheng, Sheng Zengren's deputy chose to surrender.

At this time, Sheng Zengren was still drunk, and Zeng Shaoqing successfully captured Sheng Zengren alive.

From then on, it only took the Fourth Division two months from dispatching troops to capturing Sheng Zengren alive.

With the arrest of Sheng Zengren, it was also announced that all the apparent rebel forces in Daxia had been eliminated.

But as for what’s in the dark…
