Behind me is the earth

"How prepared is Minister Liu for the coming war?"

After coming out of Min'an Hall, Liu Shu asked Liu Qiang.

Now, they who were born in Liujia Village no longer gather often. Firstly, they are very busy and have no time. Secondly, the situation at this moment is completely different from before. Perhaps in the eyes of the prince, what they do is tantamount to Forming a clique is a disgrace.

Even calling each other is no longer as affectionate as before.

"There are only two states of a soldier, one is fighting, and the other is preparing for war. Wuzhou soldiers are ready to fight, so there is no need to prepare!"

Liu Qiang said with great confidence.

In the following period, Wuzhou's militia organizations began unprecedented large-scale organization, large-scale mobilization, and large-scale training.

It seems that the regular troops are not taking much action, but almost all the productive forces in Wuzhou have begun to reduce the production of civilian products and begin to prepare for the next war. A large number of private enterprises across the province have also received unprecedented requests from the government. Large orders.

Chariots, aircraft, firearms, ammunition, medicine, and food are all being produced and dispatched, and railway lines and highways are becoming increasingly busy.

And this tense atmosphere gradually spread to civil society, and gradually the people realized that war was about to happen again.

In the past, the common people were afraid and panicked about war. This time, although the panic was manifested in every recruitment point, they actively joined the army.

They are firmly unwilling and disagree that their current good life, and the even better life that is visible to the naked eye, will be destroyed by the flames of war. They want to protect their homeland!

"Joining the army is to protect our country!"

"If one person joins the army, the whole family will be honored!"

Propaganda slogans were plastered in almost every city, every market town, and every village in a short period of time.

Wireless broadcasts, opera performances, and social mobilization were launched simultaneously, creating a huge appeal.

The terrifying propaganda and organizational power showed that the investment in Wuzhou government construction was not in vain.

Wuzhou's industrial machines are rumbling, and the war machines are at full capacity.

While Wuzhou was in full swing of preparations, new news about Nanyang arrived almost every few days, and the whirlpool surrounding this focus had swept the world.

"On February 16, the third day after the earthquake, there was a huge outbreak of living corpses in Nanyang. The capital of Jing Dynasty was like a hell on earth. There was not a single living person as far as the eye could see!"

"On the afternoon of February 16th, the number of living corpses further increased. The three guards began to clean up the living corpses in an organized manner, but they continued to kill them. The living corpses buried in the underground ruins also became a hidden danger."

"On February 17, just after the great earthquake, the Daru Dynasty's troops entered Daoziguan and Humenguan, and mobilized 500,000 troops from the three counties of Wacheng, Ningguocheng, and Baidicheng to cut off the imperial court in Fangcun County, The troops of Guguo County and Hudu County formed an encirclement situation.

The imperial army is in trouble! "

"On February 18, the three guards withdrew from Nanyang City, and the capital was temporarily abandoned. Emperor Chongqing personally led the three guards to Liyuan County. After negotiating with Liu Guanjun of the Beiwan Group, the two sides announced a suspension of war. Later, Emperor Chongqing convened 100,000 officers and soldiers marched directly to protect the capital."

"On February 23rd, the Zhao bandits in Yuzhou raised their troops and went north. On the grounds that they were punished by gods, they entered Jingzhou with an army of 200,000 to conquer the ignorant king. They killed living corpses along the way, and on February 2, Arriving in Nanyang on the 29th of the month, he besieged hundreds of thousands of living corpses in Nanyang and began to organize troops to kill the living corpses.

Note: This action reduces the harm of the spread of living corpses and solves the corpse tide crisis in Jingzhou and surrounding areas. "

“On March 10th, after more than ten days of bloody fighting and a lot of sacrifices, the living corpses of Nanyang City were almost wiped out.

Zhao Fu led the army and began to search for gold and silver in the ruins of Nanyang City.

Note: According to information obtained by Nanyang Work Station, Zhao Fu's army gained a lot. "

"On the evening of March 10th, Zhao Fu entered the imperial city and held a large court meeting in the Qianyuan Hall. It is said that the scene was quite chaotic, and all the generals were like monkeys.

At night, Zhao Fu went to bed in Yangshen Temple. "

March 20th, Qifeng County, Yuanhe Hall.

The War Response Leading Group met again to analyze the unpredictable situation.

Ren Pingsheng threw the documents on the table and sighed: "In the past ten days, things have changed again, and it has been unprecedentedly exciting.

The king's flag changes at the top of the city, and I will appear on stage after you sing. "

"The Daru Dynasty divided the battlefield and launched local battles. They directly killed the imperial officers and soldiers in Huifangcun County and Gongnan County, and concentrated their superior forces to kill the 150,000 border troops organized by Emperor Chongqing. Even the Third Division Army also There were heavy casualties, two of the leaders were beheaded, and Emperor Chongqing was captured by the barbarians.

Chen Ning of Hudu County surrendered directly to the Daru Dynasty.

After this battle, Jingguo was completely destroyed! "

Liu Qiang sighed.

In any case, he was born in Jing Dynasty and grew up in Jing Dynasty. Although he resented Jing Dynasty, he was still quite emotional when Jing Dynasty collapsed like an old building.

"I would say that when General Wang Zhen died in the earthquake, Jingguo was already dead.

Due to Wang Zhen's death, the 80,000 national defense cavalry also suffered an earthquake and lost their complete organization.

The group is leaderless, has an incomplete structure, and has lost its degree of organization. Although after the arrival of Emperor Chongqing, the remaining 50,000 or so cavalry to protect the country were organized, their combat effectiveness was much lower than before.

When facing the sharp knife camp of the Daru barbarians, he was pierced. Then, under the overwhelming force of the sea of ​​beasts and the army, Emperor Chongqing was defeated and lost, and Jingguo breathed his last breath. "

After Qin Sheng finished speaking, he suggested: "These barbarians are very powerful in combat, especially judging from the sharp knife camp in the intelligence, they are all composed of warriors.

I think we need to analyze the battlefields of the Daru barbarians more in the future. At present, we still have too little information about these barbarians, regardless of the opponent's fighting methods, personnel composition, command system, and military service settings.

I suggest sending more spies there to find out some key information, key people, and especially key details. "

"Wen Guang, take note of Qin Sheng's suggestions."

Ren Pingsheng said to Huang Wenguang, who was taking meeting minutes.

"OK!"

Huang Wenguang quickly drew a thick line under Qin Sheng's suggestion record to express the key points.

No spies were sent before because Daru Manzi was outside the pass and was not the focus of Wuzhou's observation. Moreover, the appearance of these barbarians is quite different from that of the Central Plains people. It is much more difficult to send spies.

But now, the Daru Dynasty has entered the customs forcefully. Moreover, with strong soldiers and strong horses, it cannot be said that they are a powerful force competing for the world.

No matter what method is used, whether it is bribery, ideological transformation, spiritual influence, or sneaking in secretly, it must be investigated, and it is an important task with high priority!

"This time Zhao Fu is rectifying Kyoto and is gathering surviving people to restore and rebuild. It seems that he plans to stay in Kyoto permanently."

Liu Wen said.

"That's for sure. Judging from the way he searched for treasures when he first went there, he even tortured those nobles, relatives of the royal family, and luxurious homes who had not yet left. It looked like he had just left after plundering.

However, after seeing the death of General Wang Zhen and the capture of Emperor Chongqing, I guess he had some thoughts. "

Secretary for Civil Affairs, Lu Yingying said as she gently shook the feather fan in her hand.

"Now Zhao Fu has dispatched a large number of Yuzhou soldiers to Beijing, and dispatched his veteran soldiers to guard Nanyang Mountain and Sanpian Mountain. These two places are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Through this war, we should be able to more or less feel the combat effectiveness of those Daru barbarians. "

Liu Qiang said.

At the end of the meeting, Ren Pingsheng took Huang Wenguang's meeting minutes.

"At this meeting, the following resolutions were formed. First, to explore the basic information of the Daru Dynasty, including the important tasks, military strength, and combat methods of the army; second, to form a preliminary intelligence report on the Daru Dynasty in the north within two months. The third is to use the Daru Kingdom as the imaginary enemy, analyze the southward route of the Daru Kingdom, and formulate a combat plan; the fourth is to continue to resolutely implement the war preparation plan, and continue to advance material production and recruitment throughout the province.

The tasks are assigned to each individual, and the work is supervised and assessed by the Zhongshuge Inspection Office. "

Ren Pingsheng focused his gaze on the faces of Wei Feng, the director of the Divine Arrow Department, and Si Nian, the commander of the garrison.

As the war progressed over the past month, the importance of intelligence work was irreplaceable, and the two of them were also added to the expanded meeting of the leadership team.

This time, in addition to the Night Owl Organization, the Divine Arrow Division must also participate.

The governor's office mainly focuses on the forces within the province, and Si Nian has just taken over the province and is not yet fully proficient in controlling it, so we can't expect much from her yet.

The formal meeting ended, but everyone did not disperse immediately.

This war in the north has produced too much news.

Everyone is eager to chat.

"Emperor Chongqing is really embarrassed this time. Being captured in front of the battle is really a shame among emperors!"

It should be said that the last emperor died in the battle, which is considered a worthy death, and it will look better in the history books of later generations.

Now that Emperor Chongqing was captured in front of the battle, one can imagine his reputation in the history books.

"These barbarians were cannibals a few decades ago. Even now, they are not much better. They are barbaric and backward. The emperor who was captured by the barbarians can only imagine what kind of humiliation he will suffer there!"

Lu Yingying sighed.

"The queen, and the concubine Xi are said to be still in Liyuan County, protected by Gu Changqing, the former leader of the Xiaolong Division.

Now that Emperor Chongqing was captured, these people didn't know where to go. "

These people may seem unimportant, but in fact, to a certain extent, they represent the transfer of the political legacy of the Jing Dynasty.

In fact, it also has a certain symbolic meaning.

These symbolic meanings, such as the capital of Nanyang and the emperor's seal, have no meaning to Ren Pingsheng.

He no longer needs these things to emphasize his legitimacy in front of Wuzhou's military and civilians.

Today, he represents legitimacy in his own right.

On the contrary, in the eyes of Wuzhou's military and civilians, no one can replace the legitimacy of his rule.

"Report!"

While everyone was chatting with interest about Emperor Chongqing, Zhao Fu, the Zhu Thieves of Yanzhao, and the Beiwan Group, someone came jogging from the Civilization Park in the front yard outside the Yuanhe Hall.

"Your Majesty."

After this man came in, he saluted Ren Pingsheng and took out the telegram message that had just been sent in his hand: "Just now, a telegram came from the direction of Nanyang. The vanguard of the Daru Dynasty has a force of 100,000 troops. It is overwhelming. Zhao Fu is in Nanyang Mountain and Sanpian Mountain. , a big defeat!

After Zhao Fu hurriedly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Qianyuan Hall of the Imperial City of Nanyang, he took the treasures obtained from the capital and fled southward in a panic towards Yuzhou with his troops. "

As soon as the information came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"So fast!"

"With the 200,000-strong army and the 100,000 veteran soldiers of the Zhao thief, should we deal with Daru's 100,000-strong vanguard army? Or should we defend against the danger and not stop it for three days?"

Qin Sheng said in surprise.

"Is the army of the Daru Dynasty too strong, or is the Zhao thief too weak?"

Wei Feng also found it difficult to understand.

"Do you have battlefield intelligence? Is there any overhead video taken by a drone?"

Liu Qiang was very concerned about the fighting situation on the battlefield.

But that information hasn't come through yet.

However, everyone was really speechless about how Zhao Fu had not forgotten to ascend the throne in Nanyang in a hurry and indulge in the emperor's addiction despite the huge defeat.

No one is even interested in the country, era, and emperor he proclaimed after he ascended the throne.

I believe that no one in the world will recognize him as emperor.

Zhao Fu, who was escaping in a hurry, also knew that he, as an emperor, had little value.

"I see that there is Malian Lake in front of me, and Dahai County in front of it, right?"

Riding on a tall horse, Zhao Fu looked up at the distant city and asked.

"Your Majesty, we will be home soon!"

The general who was also riding on the horse next to him was a little excited.

After all, although he suffered a lot of losses during his trip to Beijing, he gained a lot of property. Moreover, as Zhao Fu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he also became a senior official!

When Zhao Fu heard the title "Your Majesty", he couldn't help but feel shaken: "Oh, you have really hurt me!"

At that time, he didn't even think of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. However, the generals under his command found yellow robes and said, "It's cold, please put on some clothes, your majesty." They put them on him without any explanation.

It didn't take three days for Zhao Yuzhou's 200,000 troops on the front line to be killed by Daru's vanguard army.

Instead, Daru's army was reorganizing outside in the first two days, and on the last day, Daru's army began to organize an attack.

Interspersed, surrounded, and cut, the 200,000-strong army was divided into several battlefields by 100,000 people, and the communication with each other was cut off.

During the battle, those Daru vanguard troops were actually capable of fighting one against two or even one against three. Moreover, after the opponent divided the battlefield, they concentrated their superior forces, quickly annihilated some of the enemies, and then immediately moved to other battlefields.

In less than a day, the Yuzhou army was killed and fled across the mountains and plains!

The leader ran back, not even knowing how he lost.

Even this huge defeat was slowly analyzed by Deputy Zhao through the information he got from the soldiers who fled on the battlefield during his escape.

These regrouped troops only numbered more than 30,000 people.

Moreover, these people have been frightened out of their wits by the fierce Daru people. If they face the Daru people again, they will probably be useless! (End of chapter)
