Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1194: Xuanjia goes to Shu and observes Qi for longevity

"What do you mean, you want me to catch you without any help? It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

What happened in Youzhou, as well as what Director Wang and Chen Zhi said when they met, quickly spread to the south, and even reached Jingzhou through many channels.

Even when Jingzhou got the news, he was still in front of the Jiangzuo court.

But once Wang Dun knew the content of the news, he was furious at first, and then he summoned several aides to say what Chen Zhi said.

"This move is most likely a bluff. It is to make us disorganize ourselves, so as to contain him and prevent him from being affected by us when he conquers Shu!"

"Yes, the river runs across the center. No matter how powerful the Xuanjia Army is, it can only rely on naval warships. But no one in the world knows that the Xuanjia Army has many infantry and many cavalry, but there are no Having fought a water battle, this is not enough for a sailor. No matter how powerful a person is on the ground, if he has not practiced water skills, he will inevitably feel panicked when he is actually on the river."

"When the heart is in a panic, [-]% of the combat power will not be able to exert [-]%. It is not difficult to defeat and subdue it. It may not be possible to win, but it will be invincible!"

……

After a while of analysis by several staff members, Wang Dun felt a lot more settled. However, he was from the Langya Wang family and knew a lot of power and tactics, but he also understood that sometimes, he should not overthink things in a direction that is beneficial to him.

"Don't be too careless. We need to prepare for this defense recently. Send more manpower and increase the number of times!" Wang Dun has regained his composure, but he still keeps giving orders, "In addition, some of the soldiers and horses guarding the east can be transferred back. As for the road to Shu from the west, please send me more manpower. If the situation goes bad, we may be able to intervene!"

Although he wanted to make complete plans, he was still somewhat affected in his heart, and he still believed that Shu was probably the key.

"The Xuanjia Army has developed to its current stage. The Northern Territory of the War Situation has a vast territory, a large population, and is rich in wealth. In terms of everything, it is the best in the world. And with the acting style of the champion, he no longer likes plotting. He is a man of great ability, and he has made plans, so since he said he would attack Shu and targeted Jingxiang, he will definitely take action, and we must not be careless!"

"promise!"

Both counselors and generals respect this order.

Although their analysis was succinct, they all knew in their hearts that what was involved this time was the Xuanjia Army. If they were attacked by it, they might not be able to hold on for long and they would be defeated one after another, so there was no Who dares to neglect and relax?

On the other side, after explaining this matter, Wang Dun pondered for a moment and then mentioned another matter: "The enthronement ceremony is about to be held. This time my brother from the clan went north just for this matter. Since the champion has no objection, then The Jiangzuo family must not dare to say anything, so this matter has been settled. In this case, I should send someone over to congratulate him."

No one was surprised by this proposal. Although Wang Dun had some intentions of forcing Jiankang a while ago, in the final analysis, he was still fighting for power within the Jiangzuo court system, and he was definitely not willing to upset the table. What's more, with Wang Dun also had to show some attitude towards the threat and pressure of the Xuanjia Army. On the one hand, he wanted to show Chen Zhi, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain more support.

Thinking about it, if even the new emperor had forgiven him, Chen Zhi would have given him some face, right?

In this way, the enthronement ceremony was finally held as scheduled. Liu Gai, the former emperor's younger brother, Langya King, entered the emperor's position and changed his name to Yuan Tianjia after three nominations and three resignations.

At this point, the New Han Dynasty ushered in its seventh emperor.

Just one month after the enthronement ceremony, the Xuanjia Army of Hanzhong was dispatched, and the battle against Shu began.

There are many opinions on this battle. Many people know that the Xuanjia Army's combat power is unparalleled in the world, but they are not very optimistic about it. Because of the special terrain of Shu, it is surrounded on all sides. It is not easy for the people inside to attack, and the people outside are not very optimistic. It’s harder for people to get in.

As for the Xuanjia Army's attack on Shu, there was a lot of excitement in advance. Not to mention Jiang Zuo knew about it, even the Li family in Shu knew about it, so they had already made preparations.Speaking of the Li family in Shu, not long ago they were also preparing for the coronation ceremony and the official establishment of the emperor. Even the country's name was announced, saying that it would be called "Dacheng".

Before this, news of the Li family proclaiming the emperor of Shu came out from time to time. It could be said to be true or false, because the Li family's foundation was unstable and often repeated.

However, the name of the King of Chengdu has long been called out.

The current lord of Shu, Li Xiong, started his career as a rebel. His father took this path, and he once accepted the imperial edict. However, due to various reasons, and seeing the reality of Shu in the New Han Dynasty, he finally decided to He embarked on the road of rebellion, and took advantage of the civil strife in the New Han Dynasty to gain a foothold in Shu.

During this period, he also killed the crown prince of the county, and even caused some losses to the descendants of the Chen family in Xiapi.

However, due to the geographical characteristics of the Shu region, when the world was in chaos and all parties were fighting, the Li family in the Shu region developed steadily, and the surrounding refugee population often came to seek refuge.

Once there is a population, there will be others, and wealth and soldiers will come from this.

In addition, Li Xiong worshiped Taoism and worshiped Fan Changsheng, the old immortal from Shu and the Taoist Master of Heaven, as his teacher, and conferred him as a national teacher. He also established Taoism as the national religion. From then on, he recuperated and lived with the people. After a few years, he actually It also has the meaning of a paradise.

Nowadays, if we talk about national power, the Shu state is no less successful than Jiangzuo. Even compared to the three northern states - Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Pingzhou, it doesn't make too many concessions.

Of course, compared with the entire north, it pales in comparison.

As soon as they heard that the Xuanjia Army was attacking, Li Xiong, the leader of the country who had been stable for several years, immediately sent people to Xishan to ask his teachers for advice. At the same time, he ordered the Marshal of the Army to mobilize his troops. Send generals and prepare to defend this place.

Soon, the person who had invited the Imperial Master came back and brought news——

"The old god asked the king to go to the mountain. He said he had something to teach you to solve this overturning situation."

"Overturning situation?" Li Xiong looked solemn, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, entrusting many things and government affairs to his son, brothers and close ministers, and then went to Qingcheng Mountain with his personal guards to pay homage to Fan Changsheng.

However, when the group of people climbed up the mountain to watch, they were blocked outside.

Then one of the soldiers asked unhappily: "Since the imperial masters are recruiting each other, why do they want to prevent the king from entering?"

The little Taoist priest who stopped him said: "Master is watching Qi to find a way to crack it. I hope the king will calm down."

"Observe qi?" Li Xiong's heart was moved, "Teacher, does he know that the world's qi is going up and down?"

The little Taoist priest said: "Master has said that the general trend in the north has been achieved this time, the luck is strong, and it is sweeping the world. It needs to be planned slowly..."
