Taking advantage of the fierce fighting between the three parties, Bai Hua was very ungrateful and included the fourteen cities in southern Xishu into the territory of Dashang.
In other words, there are only twelve cities left that Sanchuan is fighting for.
Moreover, the conflicts among the three families have reached an irreconcilable level.
At the same time, Zhao Rui ordered Shan Xin to lead an army of 200,000 to Peng Wei, and jointly captured Danyang with the army of Lu and Zhou.
This time Luzhou seemed to be crazy and mobilized 600,000 troops from across the country to fully cooperate with Shan Xin, so the entire battle of Danyang went very smoothly.
In just half a month, not to mention beheading 280,000 people, Shan Xin also recovered all the old Liang lands previously occupied by Peng Wei, and even captured eight cities in the northern border of Peng Wei. It can be said that he gained a lot.
Lu Zhou was also very trustworthy and dedicated the land of Xiaosu to the great merchants.
The most important thing is that Prince Huan actually handed over half of the country's troops to Shan Xin.
In fact, for Lu Zhou now, an army of 300,000 is nothing. With a prosperous place like Danyang, and the domestic food crisis has been solved, they can recruit another 400,000 troops in a very short period of time.
.
It's just that during this period, Southern Qi was very active. As soon as they knew that the land of Xiaosu fell into the hands of Dashang, they gathered the army of the country and wanted to take advantage of the fact that Dashang had not yet taken over.
The land is in the bag.
Who would have known that Le Sheng, who was always keeping an eye on the movements of Southern Qi, actually led a large group of troops southward and captured fourteen cities of Southern Qi again, forcing the Southern Qi army to go north to defend.
In desperation, Tian Yang, the king of Southern Qi, could only send Tian Changgong, the king of Shanling in Southern Qi, as an envoy to Dashang.
At this moment, Tian Changgong stood beside the imperial study room, waiting quietly.
He didn't step forward until Zhao Rui had reviewed all the mantras in his hand.
"Foreign ministers see His Royal Highness King Zhao!"
Zhao Rui leaned on the chair and looked at Tian Changgong in front of him with interest.
"King Shanling must be impatient!"
Tian Changgong did not dare to respond to the purpose of his visit this time, which was to recover the twenty-seven cities occupied by the great merchants.
If he offended Zhao Rui on any of his words, he might not even be able to return to the city.
"Your Highness has been dealing with government affairs for a whole day and is not tired. The foreign minister just stood there for a few hours. How can he be tired?"
"No, no, no!" Zhao Rui said with a hint of joking on his face: "I am very tired, and it is getting late. How about I go to rest first, and we can talk about anything tomorrow!"
Tian Changgong suddenly became anxious. How could a major event between the two countries be delayed again and again? Besides, Lesheng Chen's troops were in the northern border of Southern Qi, and they might invade the capital of Southern Qi at any time.
"Your Highness, there has never been any enmity between Nan Qi and Dashang since ancient times. Isn't it unbecoming of the sovereign state that you captured twenty-seven of my cities for no reason like this?"
Zhao Rui laughed: "Since we admit that Dashang is the suzerain, then this matter makes sense. As the suzerain, I can fight you whenever I want, and I can take as many cities as I want.
,Is there any problem?"
Tian Changgong was stunned for a moment. To put it bluntly, the land of the princes in the world was granted by the great merchants and the royal family. It is only natural that they want to take it back.
Instead, he came here to beg others to return the captured city, which was a bit contrary to the laws of his ancestors.
