Chapter 13(1/2)
The emperor stood on the wall of Xuanwumen, watching the mighty army gradually disappearing, and couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.
If this battle goes well, the structure of the world will change again.
This is exactly what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, His Highness has gone far, it's time for us to go back."
Chen Mo reminded carefully.
"Um."
The emperor nodded, and Chen Mo shouted loudly: "Get off and drive back to the palace."
And Liu Xia was riding on a wind-chasing beast covered with gold and gold, wearing a golden dragon-patterned battle armor, majestic, and headed towards the Longdu City Pier.
Following him were only the Song family's well-equipped 30,000-strong army. These armies had to go south in warships in batches, and it took them nine days to take Wu'an City.[
As the commander-in-chief, Liu Xia naturally wanted to be the first to arrive.
Seeing the warship from a distance, Liu Xia was a little shocked for a moment.
I have always been in the northwest before, and I have never seen the navy of the Skyrim Dynasty.
Standing on the dock now, I was still a little excited when I saw the magnificent battleship that was thirty to forty feet long and more than ten meters high.
"Your Highness, this is the Ningyuan Fleet of our Tianji Dynasty. It is considered a medium-sized fleet in our navy."
Duan Lingxiao explained to Liu Xia from one side.
"These ships are only medium-sized? What do large-scale ships look like?"
Liu Xia was thinking secretly in her heart. Naturally, she couldn't show the look of a rustic who has never seen the world on her face and said with a smile: "There is something interesting. Not bad, let's get on the boat."
Immediately, Liu Xia's personal soldiers and Tiger Guards began to board the ship.
It took half an hour for the fleet to be ready, and then it started to move towards the south.
Liu Xia's warship is the main warship of the fleet. It has six floors, and the space inside is very wide. The entire second floor is where Liu Xia lives.
The furnishings inside are also very luxurious. If it weren't for the slight bumpy feeling, it would be more comfortable than inside the palace.
Dabao and the palace guards are taking over your second floor defense.
When Liu Xia arrived in the study, he saw a huge map of the Tianrim Dynasty.
The surging Longhun River is the dividing line between the north and south of the Tianji Dynasty.[
The south has a vast territory and a humid and warm climate. Over the years, it has gradually become the granary of the Tianji Dynasty.
Moreover, the top five families in the Tianji Dynasty are also in the south.
If it hadn't been for the purpose of fighting against the Tianxuan Dynasty, perhaps the capital of the dynasty would have been located in the south.
After all, the economy in the south is more developed, there are a lot of talents, and the population is relatively denser than in the north.
The Nangong family's sphere of influence mainly covers the three coastal provinces of Kunzhou, Taizhou, and Qianzhou. Their hometown is located in Taizhou, facing the sea to the east, with flat terrain and fertile land. These conditions are all important factors for the rise of the Nangong family.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the Nangong family navy is also quite large.
At first, it was just to protect his family's industry, but now it has become an important force in fighting against pirates at sea.
The Nangong family now supports the second prince as the emperor, and has instigated the rebellion of the southern Xinjiang border guard army. Now the Nangong family is indeed ready to fight to the death against the Tianji Dynasty.
Once they win, they will have a chance to win the Dragon Soul. Of course, it will not be that easy, but the Nangong family has no way out now.
After the massacre in Longdu, the Nangong family sent people to Longdu seven times to sue for peace. Several major families interceded one after another. After all, the Nangong family also paid a heavy price this time.
However, the emperor did not give them this chance to breathe.
In this case, the Nangong family can only strike first.
"Is it really okay for that girl Caiwei to travel alone?"
At this moment, Dabao was lying lazily on the low platform on one side, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, eating and muttering at the same time.
"It's okay. With Ao Cangqiong walking with him, it won't be a big problem."
Liu Xia said calmly.
Caiwei's injury has just been healed, and now is a great opportunity for him to resume his cultivation. Going alone will be conducive to her cultivation.
Moreover, Ao Cangqiong was determined to find traces of the demons and the remaining Nine Heaven-Seizing Swords, so Ao Cangqiong took Caiwei on the road.
At this time, Lingling quietly opened the door, looked into the room, stuck out her tongue, and slipped in.
"It's so lively outside."
Lingling smiled excitedly.
"You look like you have never seen the world."
Dabao smiled disdainfully.
"Fat cat, just die."
Lingling made a face at Dabao, ran to Liu Xia, and sat down in Liu Xia's arms.
"I'm a bear, not a cat."
Dabao said angrily.
"Tsk, whose bear looks like you? Look at the two dark circles under your eyes."
Lingling chuckled.
Dabao spoke for a while.
"Auntie, don't go out for a walk. If someone finds out, I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
Liu Xia Nai smiled.
"Don't worry, no one can see through me. Before sister Caiwei left, she told me in detail about disguises and other tricks. If I don't want them to recognize me, no one can recognize me."
Lingling smiled mischievously.
At this time, Zhang Zong shouted outside the door: "Your Highness, the frontline information has arrived."
Liu Xia quickly asked Lingling to stand up and shouted loudly: "Come in and talk."
At this time, Zhang Zong, Liu Liansheng, Dai Binglong, and Duan Lingxiao entered the room.
"Your Highness, frontline battle report. The Nangong family took advantage of the chaos of the southern Xinjiang border troops to seize Jing'an, Quzhou, Huizhou, Tongtianling, Tongzhou and other places. They completely controlled the entire Taizhou Province within their defense range. The southern Xinjiang army is now
Without defeat, the remaining troops are now hoarded outside Huizhou, preparing to completely abandon Taizhou and protect the Kunzhou position."
After Zhang Zong finished speaking in a leisurely manner, Liu Xia walked to the map and took a look.
The three provinces of Taizhou, Kunzhou and Qianzhou are adjacent to each other. Among them, Taizhou is the largest and the southernmost part of the Tianji Dynasty. Together with Kunzhou and Qianzhou, it has become a tripartite force.
Taizhou is the territory of the Nangong family. Now that he is planning to rebel, he will naturally consolidate the territory of Taizhou first, and then take Kunzhou to become his channel to counterattack the Central Plains.
The southern Xinjiang border garrison can block their route to the north by guarding Kunzhou.
In the past few days, the armies of the Huangpu family, Zhang family, Liu family and other southern families have all moved towards Kunzhou to support them. The Nangong family knows that powerful enemies are looking around, and they will never dare to attack Kunzhou rashly.
Liu Xia guessed that the first thing the Nangong family wanted to do was to take advantage of the chaos in the southern Xinjiang army and navy to control the shipping routes and cut off the sea passage of the Tianji Dynasty army. Secondly, they wanted to harass the Qianzhou line and make a feint to attack Qianzhou.
Action, find ways to distract them, and then raid Kunzhou.
Only in this way will they have a chance.
"Send the order and order all the troops who have arrived at the position to stay closed and not fight. No matter what the problem is in Qianzhou, they are not allowed to leave Kunzhou. Everything will be discussed after I arrive."
Liu Xia hesitated and said.
"As ordered, General Mo will go right away."
After saying that, Zhang Zong turned around and left.
"Your Highness, do you have a way to deal with the Nangong family?"
Duan Lingxiao asked curiously.
Liu Xia smiled slightly and said: "I don't know much about the situation in southern Xinjiang yet. It's just that before going to the front line, we have to go somewhere."
"Where?"
Everyone asked curiously.
"The Nangong family navy is the most powerful force in the world, and it is an important force of the imperial navy. Now that the Nangong family has rebelled, the imperial navy is afraid to go to sea. The most urgent task now is to find a general who is good at water warfare. Although among the family, there are many people who are good at water warfare.
There are many generals fighting, but I'm worried that none of them will really become enemies of the Nangong family. If we meet at sea, something might happen."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"Then do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Dabao asked.
"Have you ever heard of Liao Qichang?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion, obviously this person was not very famous.
