After the court meeting, soldiers and horses from the Central Plains began to gather towards Jingnan.
Naturally, such a big move could not be hidden from the world, and Pan Mei's memorial was also known to the world.
The imperial court planned to use a two-pronged approach to destroy Jiangnan, and news of Lingnan spread.
No one in the Central Plains thought there was anything wrong with this.
After a series of victories, coupled with the brainwashing of imperial daily and weekly newspapers, Luo Youdu had planted the seeds of self-confidence in the minds of the people.
In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains today, the Luoyu Xin Dynasty was the benchmark for martial ethics, and the existence of the Zhenguan Dynasty was ignored by the Khitan, except for Jiangnan and Lingnan.
This large army gathered in Jingnan, and the first one who couldn't stand it was Wuling Zhou Xingfeng.
Seeing the army gathering more and more outside the city, Zhou Xingfeng wanted to die.
Why bother!
Is a small Wuling City worth so much effort?
Zhou Xingfeng was given to General Li Chongjin, and the army did not dare to leave Wuling. They could only sit back and watch Zhang Wenbiao rampage in Jingnan, and then dedicated his land to the Central Plains.
Zhou Xingfeng had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Central Plains. He also wanted to negotiate peace with the Central Plains.
But Zhou Xingfeng had been king in Jingnan for a while, and his appetite was very high.
What he thought was that Li Chongjin sent an envoy to Wuling to persuade him to surrender, so that he could raise his worth and ask for more benefits.
Who would have thought that Zhang Wenbiao, a traitor, would shamelessly surrender and give his own territory to the Central Plains.
This set of operations disrupted all Zhou Xingfeng's calculations.
Except for Wu Ling, he no longer had any bargaining chips to offer.
I originally thought that Wuling City was strong and could last for a while.
Jiangnan is causing trouble, and Lingnan is also making trouble. I have to appease this indifferent nail no matter what!
As a result, the appeasement did not arrive, and the Central Plains Forbidden Army went south. The Palace Front Division and the Guards and Military Division gathered at the foot of Wuling City.
Zhou Xingfeng also received the news that the Central Plains court decided to pacify Jiangnan and Lingnan in one fell swoop.
This army went south, passed by Wuling, and captured a city. Don't be too relaxed...
Yang Shifan looked at the elite soldiers and generals with completely different spirits outside the city, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "Commander, what should we do now?"
Zhou Xingfeng dragged his sick body and said helplessly: "Come on, hold on, it's hard to explain."
With the cooperation of Li Chongjin and Zhang Wenbiao, only Wuling in Jingnan was still under his control.
An isolated city alone cannot withstand the army of the Central Plains.
Clinging to death will only lead to destruction.
Zhou Xingfeng is a veteran and knows that there are no loyal ministers in the face of life and death.
If I continue to be stubborn, there is no guarantee that my head will be chopped off by the person next to me that night.
With Zhou Xingfeng's surrender, Jingnan was officially included in the territory of the Central Plains.
The worries of attacking Lingnan were completely eliminated.
The soldiers from Jingnan also began to march towards Hengyang and Guiyang.
Such a big move in the Central Plains could not be hidden from Meng Xuanzhe and Wang Zhaoyuan who were far away in Chengdu.
After Wang Zhaoyuan heard the news, he laughed loudly: "Luo Youdu in the Central Plains is nothing more than this..."
Meng Xuanzhe also said: "Nowadays, all the minds of the Central Plains are in the south. Guanzhong and Longyou must be empty. If we attack at this moment, we will definitely achieve great success. When Luo Youdu, a little Zhuge, meets the real Zhuge, Mr. Lu, it will be like fighting in front of Luban's gate."
Like an axe."
Wang Zhaoyuan felt that he was overly belittling his opponent and failed to show his own brilliance, so he said: "This Luo Youdu is still very capable. He got his ambition at a young age. From a small official to sitting in the Central Plains, he has never suffered a defeat. He has already become arrogant and neglected everything."
"
"This kind of person is the most unstoppable. Once the land in Guanzhong is obtained for our army, he will be furious and hastily come to fight. At that time, all he has to do is wait for work and defeat Guanzhong. Drive straight to Bianjing, and your Majesty will be sitting in the Central Plains. It will be just around the corner."
He originally wanted to praise Luo Youdu, but when the words came to his mouth, his nature was hard to change, so he boasted about himself again.
Meng Xuanzhe was also in high spirits, thinking about his great achievements, and thought to himself: "My father will also forgive me!"
"Mr. Wang, it's up to you! I'm in Chengdu, waiting for your triumphant return!"
Meng Xuanzhe took Wang Zhaoyuan's hand and handed him all the burdens.
Wang Zhaoyuan promised confidently: "Leave everything to me! This battle will at least win the Guanzhong and Longyou lands for Shu. In the past, I, Wang Kongliang, accomplished what Prime Minister Zhuge couldn't do.
"
Meng Xuanzhe and Wang Zhaoyuan, the monarch and his ministers, agreed upon the major event of the Northern Expedition.
Under the influence of Meng Chang, the Shu people in Chengdu became fond of feasting.
When going on an expedition, there will be a big banquet to see him off.
Wang Zhaoyuan was drunk, holding Tie Ruyi in his hand, and said to his friend Li Hao, who was also the prime minister: "Qiong Zuo, in this Northern Expedition, with 40,000 elite troops under his command, we will seize the Central Plains easily."
Wang Zhaoyuan felt that he was going here to complete a great cause that Zhuge Liang had not been able to complete.
If you blindly imitate, you will not be able to show your own style.
Therefore, after thinking about it all night, Wang Zhaoyuan redefined a new image for himself.
A Confucian general with an iron ruyi in hand and commanding thousands of troops.
Li Hao was a staunch landowner and capitulator. If he hadn't been closely related to Wang Zhaoyuan, he would have been dealt with by the newly born Meng Xuanzhe.
At this moment, Li Hao saw Wang Zhaoyuan's confidence and majestic appearance. He couldn't help but became anxious and said: "Brother Kong Liang, marching and fighting are not child's play. Don't be careless."
Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Brother Qiongzuo, don't worry. Today is the day for us men to make great achievements. I am going to do it for my brother..."
Wang Zhaoyuan held Tie Ruyi in his hand, bid farewell to Meng Xuanzhe in high spirits and strode away.
Li Hao's face was filled with despair. He was timid and cowardly, but he could see clearly that Wang Zhaoyuan was a fool who boasted every day and even believed it.
That’s it? Command the troops?
He shook his head and began to think about how to write a downgrade...
Wang Zhaoyuan held Tie Ruyi in his hand and headed north all the way. Feeling good about himself, he held a map in his hand and said to the soldiers beside him: "The art of war says: attack the unprepared and take them by surprise. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed on first. This time
When going north, we must pay attention to the importance of troops and speed. Our army should march into Fengzhou quickly, and then go directly up Baoxie Valley and into Guanzhong."
"The key to this battle is to be quick. The faster, the better. It will make the Central Plains unprepared and catch them off guard. By the time they react, we have already entered Guanzhong and occupied the important area of Chang'an."
"Therefore, this first battle to capture Fengzhou is particularly important. Only by capturing Fengzhou can we safely enter Baoxie Road."
"Ma Renyu, the guard general of Fengzhou, was an unknown soldier, brave and unprepared. When our army suddenly came to the city, the guard was frightened and fled the city. But just in case, we still need a general, disguised as a businessman, to enter the city first and act as a guard.
Internal response.”
"Tong Xin..."
He called out.
A young general stood up.
The young general is not very old, but he is a relative of Wang Zhaoyuan, so he should be given a heavy responsibility as a matter of course.
"This task is left to you!"
Tong Xin shouted: "Take the order!"
Wang Zhaoyuan continued: "General Li, you are responsible for the surprise attack on Fengzhou..."
"General Hu..."
"General Wang..."
He arranged tasks one after another in a commanding manner, making all the decisions himself and not giving anyone the right to speak.
