Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Xi Zhicai and Gan Ning looked at each other.

They were originally worried about how to capture Ba City.

Even Yan Yan, who was guarding Jiangzhou in another world, was frowning.

Bacheng is too dangerous. It is located on the mountain at the intersection of Jiangshui River and Jialing River. It is a mountain city that depends on the mountains and rivers. If you want to attack, there is no place to start.

And because of world level reasons, Bacheng in this world cannot be completely compared to Jiangzhou in the Three Kingdoms world. Whether it is city defense or danger level, Bacheng in this world is far better than Jiangzhou in the Three Kingdoms world.

This is also an important reason why Xi Zhicai must use mental tricks.

If it cannot lead to civil strife in the city or even force the defenders to surrender, then the Dayu army will be even more powerless facing this fortified city than the Mongolian army facing Baidi City.

However, just when they were unable to do anything, the water gate of Bacheng was opened wide, and someone offered the city to surrender and the head of the guard Li Xian.

After Xi Zhicai sent people into the city, he learned that the guards at several main city gates had been overthrown by Feng Bashang's family.

Dayu's army occupied the majestic city of Bacheng with almost no effort.

However, Xi Zhicai and Gan Ning were not particularly happy because they found out that they had become lucky generals again.

Despite all their previous plans, strategic plans, and troubles, the first success in capturing Bacheng was not theirs, but Widow Qing's.

Feng Ba Shang did not take credit, but told a series of things such as how Feng Ba Qing made suggestions to persuade him and finally went into battle to kill Li Xian himself.

"What a wonderful woman!"

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look at this strange woman who had not yet had time to change out of her mourning clothes, and immediately said: "I will truthfully tell your Majesty the story of your husband's family. Your Majesty will definitely receive such a strange woman as Miss Qing in person! By the way, I heard that the Jiba family in Ba County is very hostile to Dayu? Dayu only needs one Ba family, and everything about Jiba will be left to Mr. Ba."

"The Caomin has thanked you, Your Majesty. The Caomin is willing to dedicate all Jiba's assets to you. The Caomin also has two daughters..."

Bashan is very good.

"Don't call yourself a commoner. Ba County still lacks a county magistrate. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to give in?"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

A county magistrate, Xi Zhicai still has the right to appoint him.

In fact, because the map of this world is extremely large, information exchange is extremely inconvenient, so Dong Huang fully delegated power, and people like Xi Zhicai had great power. When they were in the Yingdu war zone, because people like Gao Shun, Queen Zhu Rong, and Zhuge Liang were all Now, he can't be the top leader, but in his newly opened Bashu war zone, he is the well-deserved boss!

Using a county magistrate to buy bones with a thousand gold is a profit no matter how you look at it, not to mention that he has such an outstanding daughter as Ba Qing.

Xi Zhicai knew about the deeds of Ba Widow Qing in a certain time and space. Ba Widow Qing in another time and space was a big and honest businessman. Now it seems that she is not only good at business, but also brave and resourceful. Still pretty.

This woman is destined to be His Majesty!

Considering His Majesty’s special fondness for sisters, so...

hey-hey! Your Majesty, I finally have the opportunity to send you a beautiful woman!

Of course, he is not as stupid as a certain Frenchman who is too lazy to reveal his name. He will not directly say that he will send a woman to His Majesty, but will send a great hero to the capital to meet the emperor. As for whether he will stay in the palace after the interview. , that's not a matter of him teasing someone. As for whether His Majesty will have any ideas about his sister-in-law again, that has nothing to do with someone he is loyal to!

"Thank you, sir!"

Bashang, who didn't know Xi Zhicai's true thoughts, bowed deeply.

The county magistrate is the second-in-command in the administration of a county, and the area of ​​a county in this era is larger than that of a state in the Three Kingdoms period.

Bashang, who had only been a lowly petty official, soared into the sky.

Bashan felt extremely satisfied.

He felt that he was really on the right track this time, but Xi Zhicai didn't seem to be interested in his other two daughters. Did he dislike them for being engaged? Or... Xi Zhi only likes men?

Bashan couldn't understand.

"Ba Jun Cheng is familiar with the local situation. If I, Dayu, want to seize Bashu, can Jun Cheng teach me anything?"

Xi Zhicai ignored Bashang's little thoughts. At this time, he was only interested in how to conquer Bashu.

Although he no longer had the great achievement of capturing Bacheng, he could conquer Bajun and Shujun!

According to the unspoken rules of Dayu's officialdom, since he has captured Bacheng, the next step of establishing the Bashu War Zone and conquering Bashu will be left to him.

These are all achievements.

If you don't make meritorious deeds, you will be compared to Zhuge Liang later!

Can you not be anxious if you are interested in drama?

The biggest problem that is currently troubling Xi Zhicai in conquering Bashu is that his soldiers are not strong enough.

Conventional land combat for space troops was too useless. Gan Ning did have some elite men, but they were still too few in number. Xi Zhicai himself had not found a suitable military formation route.

"We should use the Ba people more seriously. If Dayu's army is not strong enough, we might as well let the Ba people in Dangqu and other places stand on their own, as long as they are not used by the Qin people! In this way, the land of Brazil is temporarily stable, and you can safely attack Shu County. Land, Shu people in the land of Shu County have not yet returned to Qin..."

Bashang talked eloquently and talked about the situation in Bashu.

"Is this what you were thinking?"

Xi Zhicai glanced at Bashang.

In fact, Xi Zhicai had similar ideas.

The map is big, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The biggest benefit is that various resources have increased, and the world's population has also become extremely large. When the task is completed in the future, there will definitely be an extremely large number of natural people available.

The disadvantage is that there are insufficient troops, slow support, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded.

Xi Zhicai had already felt that Dayu's current naval force was not enough.

In fact, if Dayu's seventh-level sailors are included, the number of sailors in Dayu is already 12.3 million. But if you want to take into account ten times the map's Dajiang, Huai River, Hangou and the route from Yingzhou to Dayu, But it's hard to do anything.

Xi Zhicai has already written a letter suggesting that Jia Xu recruit more than 2 million navy soldiers, actively train natural navy soldiers, and give him 1.8 million space soldiers.

Of course, he knew that his request for so many soldiers would definitely not be met, but the more soldiers, the better.

Closer to home, because the map is so large, even the more than two million eighth-level space soldiers are stretched thin. The seventh-level space soldiers are only suitable for farming and maintaining security in the rear. At this stage, Dayu really has no spare capacity to invade Bashu on a large scale. The lack of a strong legion is one thing, the lack of troops is another, and the lack of food and grass is another.

Under such circumstances, if Xi Zhicai wants to achieve the greatest results, he must work hard on the Bashu survivors.

Although the Ba Kingdom has been divided for a long time, the Ba people in the land of Danqu have always been in a semi-independent state. Xi Zhicai decided to send Pu Hu and Wang Ping, generals from the world of the Three Kingdoms, to these places to have a good time. As long as they It doesn't matter if they can rebel against Qin and give them enough autonomy, even if they don't pay taxes.

Xi Zhicai even planned to establish a Brazilian county, with Pu Hu as the prefect and Wang Ping as the county captain.

The survivors of Shu are also easy to deal with.

The Kingdom of Shu is said to have been established since the post-Huangdi era.

"Shiben·Zhuhou" records: Shu became a country and originated from the emperor. Shu has no surname, and is descended from the Yellow Emperor.

"Huayang Guozhi·Shu Zhi" states: Changyi, the son of the Yellow Emperor, married Changpu, the daughter of the Shushan clan, and gave birth to a son, Gaoyang, who became Emperor Zhuanxu. He granted his subordinates to Shu and was known as Hou Bo.

At the same time, Shu was also one of the "Eight Kingdoms" and followed the Zhou Dynasty in raising troops to attack the Shang Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Shu originated from the Shushan clan. The Shushan clan, as the name suggests, is related to Shushan. It may have originated from Shushan, or it may have been the worship of mountains and rivers, worshiping Shushan.

Shushan is roughly equivalent to the Minshan Mountains in Blue Star.

The Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Ba are both one of the Xia in a broad sense. They are countries with strong shamanistic traditions that have been inherited for more than two thousand years.

Although the Qin State destroyed the Shu State seventy years ago, the culture of the Shu State could not be wiped out. Especially the savages outside the city still obviously retained the customs of the Shu people.

What’s even more interesting is that the Shushan Witch Temple still exists in this world!

This is the place of spiritual belief for the Shu people.

Therefore, it is still very easy to cause trouble for the Qin people.

We should develop a program of "Sichuan people rule Shu" and let the Shu people establish their own country.

Anyway, Dayu is now unable to compete with Qin for Shu, so it will make Shu more chaotic.

When the main force of the Qin State comes to suppress the rebellion, it happens that the Shu State can still resist it. If it can no longer resist it, let the Qin State kill them. They are a group of rebels with ulterior motives anyway. The more the Qin State kills, the higher the Shu people's anger will be. , when the Yu army enters Shu, the support they will encounter will be higher, and there will be fewer thorns in the future.

Counselors have dirty hearts.

It can not only consume the Qin army but also consume the resistance forces among the Shu people, killing two birds with one stone.

Xi Zhicai didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan.

"My lord, this was not the thought of the lower official, but the thought of the little girl Qing."

Bachchan said honestly.

Under other circumstances, he might have taken the credit, but now based on Xi Zhicai's hint, his second daughter Ba Qing was most likely to be visited by Emperor Dayu and even be interested in her.

If he can take a fancy to it, then his Ba family will really soar into the sky.

Maybe you can fly double or triple!

Bashang even decided to work hard to have a son while he was still young, so that he could inherit the family business and honor his ancestors.

"Miss Qing is truly a strange woman..."

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but take another look at the widow, and was even more surprised.

This woman is extraordinary, she is strategic, courageous, a widow, and she is also good at business...

Xi Zhicai suddenly didn't want to dedicate Ba Qing to Dong Huang. This was not because he wanted to use it for himself, but because he found that this woman seemed to be the five sisters Wang Yi who was good at strategy and Zhen Ji who was good at business. The aggregation of his mother, sending her to Dong Huang, may offend Wang Yi and the Zhen family at the same time...

But the matter has come to this, and it’s no use not sending it away.

Xi Zhicai understood Fa Zheng to a certain extent.

[Takahiro, you are the only one who can save me this time! 】

Xi Zhicai secretly thought: I am following your strategy of pacifying Shu. By the way, when Fa Zheng pacified Badong, didn't he just accept Pu Hu and give him a pair of twin sisters? I'm just imitating Fa Xiaozhi!

Xi Zhicai is doing psychological construction.

Bashang did not notice the subtle changes in Xi Zhicai's mood. He continued to introduce his daughter's advantages: "My daughter is good at business and is very familiar with the cities, geography, output, and customs of Bashu." …”

——

At this stage of the Bajun War, the Mongolian Army was actually about to be destroyed. Although the main force of the Mongolian Army was not injured yet, it had already become a turtle in the urn.

Even if the Mengwu Army broke through the layers of defense of Dayu Army and reached Bacheng, they would not be able to capture Bacheng, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and they would not even be able to cross the river.

The only way for the Mengwu Army to survive now is to turn back and defend the pass. With the defense of the pass and the supplies previously stored, they can stand firm and wait for rescue from Great Qin.

But the Mengwu Army obviously no longer has this opportunity.

Xi Zhicai and others no longer want to be polite to Meng Wu. Now that Badong has become Dayu's territory, Meng Wu cannot be allowed to destroy it anymore.

Xi Zhicai still used a stratagem, and directly sent Bajun's flag, Li Xian's head, the living Wei Tao, and three thousand Qin soldiers captured from Bacheng.

At this moment, all the Qin troops knew that Bacheng had been lost and their retreat was cut off. The morale of Mengwu's troops was shattered.

The morale brought by the previous looting and massacre of the city was completely wiped out.

If the person dies, what's the use of having more treasures?

That night, many Qin troops came out of camp and surrendered to the Yu troops.

At this time, Meng Wu somewhat understood Zhao Kuo's state of mind when he was surrounded.

Thinking of his father, the first military general of the Qin State, and his two promising sons who were accompanying the King of Qin, Meng Wu gave up his thoughts of surrender and ordered his army to withdraw to defend the pass.

However, the order to retreat further aggravated the collapse of the Qin army.

In the end, fewer than 30,000 people followed Meng Wu.

However, even though there were less than 30,000 men left in Mengwu's army, the Yu army did not take it lightly. They still set up camps, delayed, sneak attacks, and attacked from all sides, but they were determined not to engage in any direct battle.

In the end, only more than 10,000 men from the Mengwu Division were left, and they withdrew to Quren.

In Quren City, the bones of the mengwu troops who massacred the city have become rotten, and the stench fills the sky. From time to time, wild beasts and birds can be seen gnawing at them.

Seeing the tragic images in the city, Meng Wu suddenly sighed, drew his sword and killed himself.

The remaining Qin army also chose to surrender.

At this point, the Battle of Bajun ended with the overall victory of Dong Huang's army. Wujun and Badong all fell into the hands of Dayu's Bashu Army. Zhixian and other cities around Bajun and even defended the pass. After seeing Mengwu and After Li Xian's head was thrown, they also chose to surrender.

In this battle, the Dayu Army received a total of 50,000 elite legions, 12,000 elite soldiers, and 160,000 auxiliary troops from the Qin Army. They also received a large amount of Qin Army equipment and a large amount of supplies to defend the city. There were also a large number of Qin Army elites and Three thousand warriors were killed in the battle, and the Qin navy was completely wiped out.

At this time, Dayu already knew about the shady operation of Qin's War Agents being absorbed by Da Qin. He knew that among these prisoners there must be many War Agents or soldiers and generals of War Agents, but it was difficult to tell them apart at the moment.

But it was impossible for Dong Huangjun to massacre all these people.

Xi Zhicai's approach was to treat everyone equally. He first selected the hundreds of Qin soldiers who were the most ruthless in massacre and had no special skills. In front of many local wealthy families in Ba County and the leaders of the Ba people tribe who came, they beheaded them after a public trial. This not only promoted the The cruelty of the Qin people also shocked the local powerful factions.

The remaining surrendered troops who did not participate in the massacre of the city, especially the sharp soldiers, if they were from the areas occupied by Dayu, would be incorporated into Dayu's army on the spot; others who were good at military formations could be dispersed to Dayu. You can also lead the military formations in other armies of Yu. You can also wait until Dayu gets married and establishes a career to participate in pacifying the Baiyue barbarians in the south and even wars against countries other than Qin.

As for those auxiliary troops and those who are not good at military formations, they are undoubtedly the hardest hit areas by the forces of war agents. Xi Zhicai decided to send them to the mines for labor reform, and encouraged them to report each other. After cleaning up, they could be used as cannon fodder to conquer further south. tribe.

After some operations, Xi Zhicai obtained another 20,000 elites and 40,000 to 50,000 auxiliary troops.

Half of these elites were given to Gan Ning, and the other half were given to Pu Hu and Wang Ping.

Taking advantage of the Qin people's lack of troops in Brazil, Xi Zhicai's army has extended its claws to Brazil.

The slogan put out by Pu Hu and Wang Ping was "We are not here to enslave and rule you, but to liberate you", and the main slogan was "driving out the Qin people and restoring the Ba Kingdom".

Previously, Xi Zhi wanted Pu Hu to be the governor of Brazil, but now he adjusted his strategy and announced that Dayu would give the Ba people in Brazil seven Ba king quotas, one of which was Pu Hu, and the remaining Ba people would compete for the remaining Six quotas, and divided Brazil into eight territories, which were governed by Wang Ping, the governor of Brazil County, and the seven Ba kings respectively.

However, at this time, there were more than ten surnames in the Ba people, but none of them could resist the temptation of becoming an officially recognized prince. Because Xi Zhicai announced that as long as any king of Ba contributed 20,000 able-bodied men and 30,000 able-bodied women, he no longer had to bear any obligations to Dayu, and he did not even need to pay tribute. Dayu would also protect them.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

All the powerful Ba people chiefs are eager to try.

Although 20,000 able-bodied men and 30,000 able-bodied women are not a small number, they can rob other tribes! Anyway, half of the competitors need to be eliminated, so let’s just fight!

Xi Zhicai's "Two Peach Killing Three Soldiers" achieved the desired effect.

Although some Ba people still fled to Hanzhong or deeper into the mountains, Pu Hu, the Ba people, with the support of the Dayu Army, successfully absorbed many small tribes and the original Pu tribe, becoming the most powerful The Bawang tribe of Bawang, and the other six Bawangs soon competed for it. Xi Zhicai received 150,000 able-bodied men and more than 200,000 able-bodied women, as well as a large number of gifts.

Leaving aside the gifts, these 150,000 men will become an elite army after training. What’s even better is that they themselves have a blood feud with the other six surnamed Ba Wangs and are familiar with the geography of Brazil. If repeated, they will be a sharp sword against the six surnamed King Ba.

And don’t look at Xi Zhicai’s words. There is no need for the Ba people to bear any obligations to Dayu. But in the future, if the Qin State comes over, you Ba people will be in the front and you will not be allowed to fight for your status, wealth, and territory?

At that time, not only can the powerful Ba people be consumed again, but also the Qin army can be consumed, killing two birds with one stone!

Xi Zhicai's strategy against the Shu and Ba people focuses on a dark heart. But the Shu people and the Ba people enjoyed it. Even Ba Shang was envious and wanted to beg Ba Wang Dangdang, but his daughter Ba Qing stopped him.

The great changes in Brazil soon spread to Hanzhong along with the fleeing Brazilians, along with the news of the deaths of Meng Wu and Li Xian.

Previously, Hanzhong had only received and conveyed Li Xian's letter asking for help, but he did not expect that the news of Meng Wu and Li Xian's defeat and death would come so quickly.

The Hanzhong County Sheriff did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to send the news and the Ba people who delivered the news to Xianyang. This was the great court meeting that saved Zhao Ji.

Above the Qin court, King Qin looked solemn and solemn. Although he was not yet able to govern, everyone could see the anger in his eyes.

Today is the first day of the Qin Dynasty.

On the first day, he received the news that the Qin army had lost troops and territory, which made him angry. He wanted to vent and question.

But he endured it.

He clearly knows what he needs to learn now and learn how to deal with this situation.

Empress Dowager Zhao was also very angry. Her eyes widened, her eyebrows stood up, and her face turned red with anger.

She twisted her waist uneasily and clenched her hands into fists, as if she was trying her best to endure something. Then, Empress Dowager Zhao tightly crossed her legs, and the toes of her jade feet hidden under the skirt were curled up together, her whole body was as tight as a Bow and arrow ready to go.

After a long time, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that she had not been embarrassed.

Immediately, she remembered her master's task: writing with a pen in the court hall.

How to write it?

Queen Mother Zhao's face turned redder.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Zhao had practiced dancing since she was a child and her waist was flexible. She twisted her waist uneasily and wrote the word "正" with difficulty.

However, even though Empress Dowager Zhao behaved very abnormally, no one in the court noticed Zhao Ji's abnormality. Even those old-hearted and lustful ghosts ignored her majestic but expressionless face this time. The flushed and attractive Empress Dowager Zhao seriously thought about the current situation of the court and the war!

Everyone is thinking about the current war situation.

Mengwu was unexpectedly defeated, ruining more than 100,000 elites from Bashu and other places as well as the entire Bashu navy. Bacheng and Badong were all captured, and the situation in Brazil was completely corrupted!

In the blink of an eye, Bashu encountered an unprecedented crisis.

You know, Bashu can be regarded as the hinterland of Qin.

In fact, when Li Xian received a letter asking for help, Qin had already responded. However, there was no news of Meng Wu's defeat at that time, and no one thought that Meng Wu, who had hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the pass, would be defeated so quickly. , only thinking that Mengwu was surrounded, so the Qin State inevitably did not pay enough attention. It only sent General Bi Bai Jie to lead 30,000 Qin army elites and 70,000 auxiliary troops from Hanzhong, Shangyong and Qiang areas into Shu.

In Qin Ting's opinion at the time, such an early emergency arrangement was enough.

The road to Shu is difficult, and the territory has been occupied by Qin for only seventy years. The Qin people have not immigrated enough, the Shu people in the mountains and fields have not yet been fully planned, and a large amount of supplies from Bashu have been taken away by the Mengwu. The current situation of Bashu is really not suitable. Send troops in large numbers.

Moreover, the Qin army's large-scale mobilization also takes time. Moreover, the Qin State has always believed that the focus of the Qin army's attack is not the direction of Bashu, which is difficult to get out and enter, but the direction of Yingdu.

As long as the Yingdu Yu army is defeated, Wu County will be recovered and the siege of Mengwu will be relieved.

In order to show leniency to the enemy, Da Qin Chaotang specially dispatched experienced general Bai Jie.

Bai Jie has a great background. He is a descendant of the three major Bai clans in Mengxi in the past.

The three major clans of Mengxi and Bai were the traditional military aristocrats of the Qin State. They had lived in Xi County for generations. At its peak, they accounted for almost half of the population of Xi County. This made Xi County once one of the most important sources of troops before Shang Yang's reform in Qin State. After Shang Yang's reform, among the three Meng Xibai tribes, Meng Mingshi and Xiqishu gradually declined, but Bai Yibing's descendants were still strong.

Bai Qi in history, Bai Juyi said that he was a descendant of the prince of Chu State, but because Bai Qi was from Xi County, he may also be a descendant of Bai Yibing.

All in all, there is no problem that Bai Qi and Bai Jie are from the same hometown.

The Bai Jie family has been in the army for generations and is proficient in the art of war. When he was young, he also fought with Bai Qi. He was promoted based on his military exploits along the way. He has rich combat experience. He has just turned thirty-five this year, which is considered to be in his prime.

Among the 30,000 elites led by Bai Jie, there are 10,000 Qiang soldiers led by Qiang Xuan. Qiang Xian is a new Qiang soldier who has converted to Qin. The soldiers and horses under his command are also strong soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time.

With these 30,000 people assisting in the defense of Bacheng, which was already on a dangerous terrain and extremely fortified, wouldn’t it be impregnable?

Maybe with these mobile troops, Meng Wu can be rescued!

As a result, Bai Jie's troops had just crossed the Qin Plank Road and entered Shu. Before they reached Chengdu, Bacheng had already been lost.

When Bai Jie's troops arrived at Shu County, Meng Wu was already dead and Brazil was in chaos.

When the Qin court was in shock because of the loss of Bacheng and the death of Meng Wu in battle, Bai Jie and Qiang Xian were also caught in a dilemma.

Of course, they had also received news of the loss of Ba City and the sudden change in Ba County. Not only that, Qin officials in Chengdu also reported to him that the Shu people were extremely unstable.

[The Shu people are unstable, why don’t they rebel? 】

Bai Jie's eyes sparkled.

It was not that he wanted to rebel, but as long as the Shu people rebelled, he would have reason to stay in Chengdu. Otherwise, under military orders, he would at least have to lead his army to the vicinity of Bacheng, otherwise he would not be able to attack the country at all. The court explained.

Today's appointment is updated in advance. The appointment on April 1st is still at 10:00 pm, the last day of March. Please give me a monthly pass.
