However, since then, Zhao Xun resolved the Southern Alliance of the Western Regions shortly after the New Year and completely took over the Western Regions, the battle in Jingzhou has also stopped a little.
The reason why it stopped was mainly because the war in the Zhao army in the Western Regions had been completed. So, what will happen to the Zhao army next? Will it go south or there are other trends? These are all things they need urgently.
Even if the Zhao army returns, they will not go south immediately, but the Zhao army's strong strength cannot help them stop and start preparing to fight. Of course, among them, the King of Luoyang and King of Hanzhong are the main ones, as for Shu
The king and the king of Qi were second. However, they also began to step up their defenses in secret and prepare for the battle.
However, the King of Shu and Zhao's army were naturally not afraid. Although he did not continue to attack Luoyang and Hanzhong, he retaliated against the Qi army in Jiangzhou.[
"This Shu King Situ Che must be worried that the attack on the coalition forces in the north would be too fierce, and would bypass the Hanzhong King and Luoyang King's Law to resist us, resulting in the loss of the existing defense line in the north of the Shu army. In the past, the Shu army attacked Jingzhou, and also
Because of Qi's obstruction, it would be strange if Situ Che did not take this opportunity to deal with Murong Cheng." After hearing the situation in the south, Situ Liang said with a smile.
For the people of Zhao, in the south, the more fierce the princes fight, the better, and the more fierce the fight, the more in line with the interests of the Great Zhao.
"King, now all sides of our country are peaceful, and the country is peaceful. Now, should we go south and completely solve the princes of the south?" Pei Yi stroked his beard and asked with a little excitement.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Well, next, my Zhao's main energy has two. One is to govern the Western Regions, so that they can develop as soon as possible and integrate into my Zhao. The other is to rush the army.
Go south and attack the southern princes. Now, all armies are being rotated, and the Western Regions return troops are also being rotated to repair them. Next, it is time for us to go south. Look, my Da Zhao will be the first one to go south next
Who is the goal?”
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "To the south, there are three princes who are connected with our Great Zhao. The ones in the east are the Chu army in Xuzhou; the ones in the eastern half of Yongzhou in the central part are Luoyang Situ Hao.
The jurisdiction of the king of Hanzhong is Situ Fei, the king of Hanzhong."
"In terms of the strength of the three parties alone, the three parties are almost equal. Originally, the Chu army had fought for years and was beaten by the Qi army in recent years, with the worst strength. However, now it has quickly recovered people's livelihood and has received the support of the people of Xuzhou.
, In addition, King Li Chi of Chu had a deep foundation in Xuzhou. Therefore, the strength of the Chu army was no less than that of King Hanzhong and King Luoyang."
"In comparison, the foundation of the Hanzhong King was slightly worse. After all, Situ Fei's foundation was in Liangzhou, and Chang'an and Hanzhong were all captured when he was independent. In addition, although the land of Jingzhou was the king of Hanzhong King and
The King of Luoyang took it away, but because it took not long, it could not become a stable rear."
Zhao Xun said: "After saying this, your opinion is to attack the King of Hanzhong?"
Lu Ziliang said: "After the discussion of the Privy Council, it was believed that it would be better to attack the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang than to attack the Chu army. The Chu army in Xuzhou is now mainly focused on people's livelihood and even began to lay off soldiers. In addition, we are also among the Chu army.
After bribing some people, he learned that King Li Chi of Chu had continued to fight. Therefore, the Chu army still focused on persuading surrender and sent troops as a supplement."
"The land occupied by the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang is not only located in the center of Dayan, but also a barrier for our Zhao army to move south. More importantly, the two occupy deaths, each with a capital of Dayan. And
Our Da Zhao needs to take back the capital of the previous dynasty from it to correct our Da Zhao.”
"Chang'an? Luoyang?" Zhao Xun said softly, "Okay, let's aim for one of these. The Privy Council's view is to go to Chang'an first or take Luoyang first?"
"Luoyang?" Lu Ziliang and others answered almost in unison.
"Oh? Luoyang?" Zhao Xun naturally understood the purpose of everyone taking Luoyang first. Luoyang is the capital of the existing Dayan and the last fig leaf of the Dayan Dynasty. The Dayan Dynasty has long been divided up by the princes, but Dayan
However, the emperor of the dynasty is still in Luoyang City. Some old ministers of the Dayan Dynasty also focus on this. Many old ministers of the Dayan Dynasty are still respecting the capital of Luoyang. Dazhao takes Luoyang, so Dayan
The dynasty really no longer exists and becomes history. This has a profound significance for the Great Zhao.
In addition, many important officials of the Great Zhao believe that Luoyang is better as the Great Zhao Kingdom. After all, the territory theory of Great Zhao is now extended far to the north or west. And Youzhou City is too north to the north.
It is not conducive to Da Zhao's control over the entire world. Of course, many people think that Chang'an is better as the capital. After all, Chang'an has more time as the capital Luoyang. Da Chu and Da Yan, and even the former Da Han, were all
Chang'an was once regarded as the capital, and Chang'an was the capital for much longer than Luoyang.
"Okay, let's focus on Yongzhou. The goal we have solved is the land of Yongzhou. Whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an, my Dazhao will take it down. However, now in Yongzhou, whether it is the King of Hanzhong or Luoyang.
Kings, Dubu has heavy troops. In addition, the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang joined forces, and the land of Yongzhou is not easy to capture. Now our army returns from the Western Regions, and whether it is the King of Hanzhong or Luoyang, we are always paying attention to our movements.
, We are afraid it will be difficult to get miraculous results when we go south. Although King Situ Che of Shu holds a grudge against his two brothers, if the king goes south, the Shu army will definitely stop provoking the borders of Jingzhou and Hanzhong, so that the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang will have
Ability to counterattack us. In addition, the Qi army will definitely not sit idly by. Each of them understands that the King of Hanzhong and the King of Luoyang are the northern defense lines of the southern princes, and will not let our hands easily." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice
Said.
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "After discussing, the Privy Council believed that we could make a fuss to attack the east and the west to deceive the attention of the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang, and we took the opportunity to raid Yongzhou."
"Speak east and attack west?" Zhao Xun's eyes flashed with a divine light and said with a smile, "That's right!"
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "The enemies we encountered on our Zhao army on the way south are either Xuzhou Chu army in the east, Hanzhong and Luoyang kings occupying Yongzhou in the middle and south. Since the princes in the south are all waiting for our Great Zhao.
Trends, why don’t we attack Xuzhou? After all, on the surface, the Chu army in Xuzhou is the easiest opponent. Since then, the Chu army has the weakest strength now. Secondly, the Chu army has no allies and exists alone.
The Chu army and the Qi army next to it also had deep hatred. Even if the Qi army was unwilling to take over the land of Xuzhou, they would not directly send troops to support them."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "What he said is reasonable. He used to attack Xuzhou, but in fact he secretly raided the land of Yongzhou."[
"Send someone to Xuzhou and tell Li Chi to surrender immediately, otherwise our army of Zhao will return to the south. In addition, we have also begun to prepare a proclamation to spread the siege to Xuzhou. Tell the people of Xuzhou to join our Zhao,
Not only can wars be avoided, but taxes can also be reduced and exempted, and business development will be carried out in great power."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "It's great. Since this happens, the princes in the south should believe that the purpose of our Great Zhao is Xuzhou. And spreading the manifesto will not only make a Zhangshi for our Great Zhao to attack Xuzhou, but also make Xuzhou
The people understand the benefits of incorporating them into our Great Zhao. Although Li Chi is now beginning to restore people's livelihood, they are still far from that of our Great Zhao. Even if the great clans who depend on the Chu army don't care, ordinary people should
I understand that our Great Zhao is better than the Chu army. This is also another way to compete with the Chu army for the people's hearts. However, in addition, the army needs to be moved to achieve the consequences of failure."
Zhao Xun nodded and smiled, "Yes, I will immediately send an order to Li Huaiyuan of Jizhou and the generals of the towns and towns in Qingzhou to start mobilizing the troops, and the king approached the border between Xuzhou and made preparations for a big war."
Since then, after the Zhao army pacified the Western Regions, the southern princes gradually stopped fighting and began to enter the reply. Except for the Shu army and the Qi army still fighting in Jiangzhou, since early February, other southern princes have no major war.
action.
As for the situation in Jiangzhou, it was not that the Qi army was willing to continue the battle with the Shu army. Instead, the Shu king Situ Che extremely hated that when he attacked Jiangzhou, the Qi army "inserted" the process and joined forces with his two brothers.
Forced himself to seize Jiangling Prefecture north of the Yangtze River many times and then throw it away again. Therefore, after the Zhao army defeated the Southern Alliance of the Western Regions, in order to allow the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang to resist the Zhao army, Situ Che followed Lin Shiwen's advice and did not continue to look for it.
The troubles of King Hanzhong and King Luoyang began to retaliate against the Qi army.
At this moment, the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang did not dare to send troops to help. After all, they were all facing the situation of Zhao army being overwhelmed. King Murong Cheng of Qi also understood the situation where King of Hanzhong and Luoyang were not in Hanzhong.
The king and the king of Luoyang asked for help and were forced to fight with the Shu army and the land of Jiangzhou.
Until April after the Zhao army returned to the army, the Shu army had occupied half of the western part of Jiangzhou under fierce attack, and the Qi army was defeated one after another. In Jiaozhou, it even restrained a lot of the Qi army's forces.
Murong Cheng was so angry that he cursed and said that Situ Che was aware of the overall situation.
Situ Che naturally would not care about Murong Cheng's dissatisfaction. For him, taking action against Qi army would not only revenge the setbacks he received when he attacked Jingzhou, but also raise the banner of hatred between King Yong and Murong Cheng in the past, and be able to control it.
The Shu army is more helpful. Of course, the most important thing is that when he attacks the Qi army, he can expand his strength and power. If the Qi army is weak, he will naturally become stronger. Could it be that the Shu army will not attack the Qi army, and the Zhao army will come?
Will Qi Jun help himself wholeheartedly?
Since the Qi army cannot help him, why not take down the territory of the Qi army and use it for your own purposes. When the Zhao army defeated the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang in the north, the Shu army should take action just right.
It is naturally impossible to say that you are not afraid of the Zhao army, but the King of Shu Situ Che naturally would not be afraid or retreat. However, Shu did not connect with the Great Zhao, even if the Zhao army wanted to fight against the Shu army, they would also want to
You can first break the land of Yongzhou in the north. This is also the reason why Situ Che attacked the Qi army and expanded his strength.
However, after Zhao Xun returned to Youzhou City, Situ Che also stopped his actions against Jiangzhou, and the entire south was in peace. The Zhao army did not move, and the other princes did not dare to act rashly. The main reason was that they were afraid that they would be with each other.
The other princes fought in a melee and the Zhao army headed south, and it was difficult for them to make corresponding preparations. Therefore, the southern princes all waited for the Zhao army's movements. At the same time, they continued to recuperate and prepare to accumulate strength.
Since occupying Jingzhou, the King of Hanzhong and the King of Luoyang have begun to unite closely. Both of them know very well that it is difficult for either of them to hostile to the Zhao army or the Shu army in the south. Therefore, the two armies joined forces,
The relationship between them became more and more intimate. Although they had not yet reached a complete integration, the two could also be said to be a family. At least, in terms of military affairs, the pace of the two was the same. Especially Zhao Jun,
After the Western Regions returned, the two were preparing to guard against the Zhao army.
For Situ Hao and Situ Fei, Zhao Jun is a sharp sword hanging on their heads that can fall at any time. No matter who it is, he dare not be careless. What made the two of them and the southern princes depressed was that Zhao Xun replied
It has been more than a month since I arrived in Youzhou City, and there was no movement. This was a torment for Situ Hao and Situ Fei.
Lin Shucheng under Situ Fei and many military generals under Situ Hao suggested to transfer the base camps of both sides to Jingzhou. After all, whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, they are connected with the Zhao army. When the Zhao army goes south, they will directly approach the city, which is too dangerous.
Once the lair is conquered, it will inevitably affect the morale of the coalition forces.
Situ Hao and Situ Fei were a little moved by this, and they also knew the benefits and disadvantages of Yongzhou. However, the old ministers of Dayan in Luoyang City, namely the civil officials under the command of the King of Luoyang, all rejected this suggestion.
They think that Luoyang City is the capital of Dayan, how can the emperor Jingzhou be transferred?
It is also because of this that some people are preparing to suggest that the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang will truly join forces, but they have been completely suppressed. Lin Shucheng and many knowledgeable people believe that the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang should be completely united and combined to concentrate everything.
The strength of the Zhao army was to resist the Zhao army. However, because there were too many old ministers under Luoyang City, this suggestion was raised and some were quietly abandoned.
"King, it's hard for the King of Luoyang to accomplish anything!" After hearing Situ Feiyan's suggestion of moving the center of gravity failed, Lin Shucheng said to Situ Fei with a gloomy face.
Situ Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I believe now, why did my father hand over the power of Yong army to Lao Wu, not the eldest brother. The eldest brother was too involved with the old ministers of Dayan, and all the ministers under his command were the old ministers of Dayan.
It seems to be strong, but his mind is no longer with my elder brother."
Lin Shucheng saw Situ Fei say this, but he didn't say much. Situ Fei may have experienced years of war, and has grown up and become much more mature. Lin Shucheng has now become the newest important official under Situ Fei.
"Oh..." Situ Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have fallen into the Zhao army's plan. Otherwise, the south is now probably the world of my Yong army. Why is it? Lin Qing's family
, It's all this that I have harmed you."
Lin Shucheng shook his head and said, "Why is the king like this? All the past things have passed. Speaking of which, it is too time for Zhao Xun to seize the opportunity. King, the King of Hanzhong is unwilling to move the center of gravity, but we must not remain unmoved.
This place in Chang'an is in a bad situation."
Situ Fei calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Our center of gravity is to move, but do you think it will be moved to Hanzhong or Xiangyang?"[
"I think it's better for Xiangyang. If Chang'an falls, the land of Hanzhong will become a dead place. Unless the king is willing to bow to the King of Shu at that time,..."
"Lao Wu? I'm afraid he won't accept us! That's right, just move to Xiangyang Prefecture. In addition, materials from Chang'an, Hanzhong and other places are also gathered in Xiangyang Prefecture."
In early May, the Zhao army, who had been waiting for more than two months in the southern princes, finally took action. The Zhao army made the southern princes breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of the Zhao army taking action, but were afraid that the Zhao army would not move.
After all, they can only prepare if they have any movement. If Zhao Jun has no movement, they will feel uncomfortable.
In early May, Zhao State sent envoys to Xuzhou to surrender the Chu army living in Xuzhou, otherwise the army would conquer the Chu army. At the same time, the Zhao army began to mobilize one after another, and Dayou
The army was going south to Xuzhou. In addition, the Zhao army also began to issue a wide range of manifestos, attacking the Chu army on the grounds that the Chu army had lived in Xuzhou for many years and had not been able to take care of the people's livelihood and raised troops at will.
The Zhao army's move suddenly all the princes in the south understood that the Zhao army had already begun to carry out the southern expedition. The princes from all walks of life also began to make corresponding preparations.
For the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang, they breathed a little relieved. The Zhao army attacked the Chu army first, so the land of Yongzhou will be safe for the time being. Of course, this does not mean that the land of Yongzhou will be safe forever. However,
It is also a good thing for them to be able to fight Zhao Jun one day at night, right?
The envoy of the Zhao army was arrogant, Li Chi did not give a direct reply, refused, and agreed. The Zhao army did not give a deadline, but the various troops of the Zhao army began to prepare for the attack. In an instant, the
The entire Xuzhou area was in a state of great war, which made Xuzhou suddenly feel the storm.
During this period, the King of Hanzhong transferred his lair to Xiangyang Prefecture. If it were in the past, Situ Hao might have fought with Situ Fei for the sake of interests. But now, the power of Zhao's army has made Situ Hao let go of it.
Although the two of them took Xiangyang Prefecture together, Situ Hao did not say much about Situ Fei's place to move his old nest. However, seeing that the target of the Zhao army was the Chu army, it was
Without the idea of moving his nest to Jingzhou. Of course, Situ Hao was not careless and still began to prepare to resist the Zhao army. After having Jingzhou, Situ Hao's strength was much stronger than before. In addition, the Shu army in the south was
Stopped the attack on Jingzhou, and Situ Hao began to lay out tight lines of defense in the north and east.
