Infinite war begins with Cao thief.

Chapter 361: I have a great scholar to argue for me
The war was started by Huang Zhong's troops.

Huang Zhong's troops went out from the front line of Surabaya and surrounded the important town of Pengcheng.

Pengcheng has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times. Historically, it was once used as the capital of Western Chu by Xiang Yu.

Dayu's sudden attack shocked the Qi army. Some of the large number of Qi army strongholds along the Surabaya line were abandoned, and some were quickly captured. Only a few important towns in Pengcheng were still under Qi's control.

The monarchs and ministers of Qi State were horrified after receiving the news. They knew very well that now was the time when Qi State was at its weakest and it was impossible to deal with Dayu's army.

The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State, who did not want to be destroyed again, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They thought about it and found that the only one who might support them at this time was the Qin State.

Therefore, the State of Qi sent people to ask for help from the State of Qin on the one hand, and asked Dayu for peace on the other. Prime Minister Hou Shenglian hurriedly went to Fang Shan's mansion in person to inquire about the situation.

"What does Dayu mean? We are a country of brothers!"

Hou Sheng was anxious.

Nowadays, the situation of Qi State is unprecedentedly severe. In recent years, it has just barely recovered from the tragic situation of nearly annihilating the country. As a result, it first lost 100,000 martial arts soldiers when it destroyed Chu, and then the battles of conquering Yan, conquering Wei, and In the battle of Zhao, there were no small losses.

In particular, Tian Sheng's defeat not long ago not only caused Qi to completely lose the land north of the Yellow River, but also nearly wiped out the last established elite field army.

The huge Qi State can't even muster 50,000 martial arts warriors at this time. However, there are still 700,000 to 800,000 ordinary elite troops, but most of them are stationed in various places, especially in key border areas. How can it be so easy and quick to mobilize them? ah.

So Hou Sheng couldn't wait to have a truce.

However, this time Fang Shan's attitude was very ambiguous.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now in the world, Chu, Wei, and Yan have perished, and the elites of Qi and Zhao have suffered heavy losses. The conflict between Yu and Qin in the world has become a foregone conclusion. Prime Minister must make plans early."

Fang Shan's tone was meaningful.

"W-what do you mean?"

After the victory, there was chaos.

Hou Sheng, who was too smart, vaguely sensed Fang Shan's intention, but he couldn't believe it.

Countries competing for hegemony and coexisting have been the pattern of Kyushu for hundreds of years.

"Master Prime Minister, Dayu now has millions of warriors who can destroy the peaks, and tens of millions of warriors who dare to fight. They will win every battle with the Qin State with tiger and wolf armies. They will seize Bashu and Nanjun, and kill Qin General Qin Gong in battle, forcing him to death. The general of Qin State, Wang Lu, is invincible in every battle. How can Qi State resist such an elite force?"

Fang Shan threatened.

After winning silently.

This is not a question of whether Qi State can resist, but a question of whether Qi State has soldiers and horses to resist.

"Huang Han was promoted to General Dayu. He has 500,000 soldiers and horses. He is invincible in all battles. No one in the Huaisi area can stop him. After breaking Pengcheng, he can march straight into it. Who can stop him then?"

"Besides, Yu's elite soldiers are like clouds and fierce generals are like rain. How can Huang Hansheng be the only one to send out all his troops?"

Fang Shan continued to threaten.

This really frightened Hou Sheng.

He knew that Dayu had many soldiers and horses, and at least he knew that Dayu had an elite army that was originally deployed in Huaiyin but its movements were unknown.

What are you afraid of?

The movement of Dayu's Huaiyin Army was soon reported, and the Huaiyin Army crossed the sea to make a surprise attack on Langya.

This is similar to the history of Wu and Yue going north to fight for hegemony across the sea and conquer Qi. The people of Langya calmly watched the Yu army defeat the sparsely defended defenders, calmly watched the Langya defenders surrender, and calmly watched Lu Xun's army enter Langya. City, calmly watching the Yu army advance to other areas.

The whole process highlights an emotional stability.

There was no fuss or fierce resistance.

When Lu Xun asked, he learned that there were thousands of soldiers in Langya who had been favored by Dayu and were among the prisoners who had been released by Dayu before. These people widely publicized Dayu's benevolence and righteousness, allowing Dayu to leave a good legacy in these places. word of mouth.

Later, these people were mobilized by Tian Sheng to attack Zhao State, and the entire army was almost wiped out.

On the one hand, there is the Yu State with a good reputation, on the other hand, the Qi State, which caused the annihilation of their entire army; on the one hand, there is the overwhelming invader, and on the other hand, their mother country...

Under various factors, it is understandable that Qi Ren’s attitude is ambiguous.

After getting this news, Hou Sheng almost jumped up.

Huang Zhong's journey was actually not bad. At most, he captured the land of Lu and could not harm the foundation of Qi. If he wanted to attack the hinterland of Qi, there were only two ways to go. One was to turn southeast and go to Jucheng. , these places are easy to defend but difficult to attack; the second is to go north to Puyang and Licheng, but the back of this road is the State of Qin, and it is possible that the State of Qin will cut off the retreat. The defeat of Pang Nuan's troops is the most important The reason is that he was cut off.

But Lu Xun directly bypassed Ju County along the way.

However, Ju County did not dare to send troops because once they did, Huang Zhong's troops might cut off their retreat.

Such a situation forced Qi to send troops to fight in the field, at least to repel Lu Xun first.

"Why do you do this? Why do you do this!"

Hou Sheng stamped his feet, his face turning blue and white.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we have to make preparations early."

Fang Shan reminded kindly.

"How should I prepare? Sir, you want to persuade me to surrender?"

Hou Sheng looked unhappy.

He is greedy, but he is not stupid. He knows very well that everything he has comes from Qi State. Without Qi State, he is nothing.

"The relationship between the Prime Minister and Dayu is nothing more than whether to achieve greater merits. However, it is still too early to talk about this now, but I once heard a saying, 'War is followed by peace, and peace is followed by peace.' What will happen after all? I have to fight for it. With the Qi State and the Prime Minister, I have the status I have today. If I go back, I will just be an ordinary shopkeeper..."

Fang Shan said with a "heart and soul" sound.

"I'm upset, so I'm going to leave first. I also ask you, sir, not to move around casually these days."

Hou Sheng said goodbye and put Fang Shan under house arrest.

This is also the right thing to do. It is known to the whole world that Fang Shan is a spy of Dayu. Putting him under house arrest at this time is both a kind of surveillance and a kind of protection.

Fang Shan accepted Hou Sheng's "kindness" with a smile.

After Hou Sheng left Fang Shan, he went directly to Qi Palace. He found Fang Shan's words "war followed by peace, peace followed by peace" very interesting.

Hou Sheng didn't even know that he had long since become a complete capitulator, but if people don't do it for themselves, the heaven and earth will destroy them. Hou Sheng has to think about himself and his family, right?

He couldn't figure out why Daqi had acquired a much wider territory in just a few years than at its peak, and why it quickly fell apart after having such a vast territory, and was on the verge of annihilation.

Hou Sheng couldn't figure it out, but as the prime minister of Da Qi, his interests were not consistent with those of the King of Qi and the State of Qi.

Hou Sheng decided to persuade the King of Qi. If he could defeat Lu Xun's troops, then Qi would naturally be tougher. If he couldn't defeat him, it wouldn't be too late to cede territory and seek peace!

King Jian of Qi believed in his uncle's theory of Hou Sheng's evil. With Tian Zhang's son Tian Dan as the general, he sent the last elite troops from Linzi to attack Lu Xun's troops.

What King Qi Jian didn't know was that as soon as Tian Dan's army moved, information spread.

In the end, Tian Dan's troops who rushed out to fight met the brave and diligent Lu Xun's troops in Weishui, and the two sides lined up in Weishui.

Lu Xun sent people overnight to make more than 10,000 bags, filled them with sand and soil, and blocked the upper reaches of the Wei River. The next day, he ordered Yu Jinjun's army to wade into the water and attack Tiandan's army.

As a general, Yu Jin has a stigma in history, but his ability to train troops and command on the battlefield is outstanding. His overall ability is at least in the middle among the five good generals, but his ability to command large armies and strategic layout is relatively weak.

In other words, his most suitable role should be a role like "the instructor of the 800,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo". Of course, if he just leads his troops to fight, his ability is very good, at least compared to Li Tong, Yan Xing, and others. Zhu Ling and other departments are even more elite.

Knowing that the situation was critical, Tian Dan sent troops to meet him, hoping to "attack him halfway across the border".

Yu Jinsuo pretended to be defeated and retreated.

This allowed Tian Dan to see an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Tian Dan felt that the unknown Lu Xun might just be a dandy who only knew how to fight on water and didn't understand land warfare at all. He was definitely an elite soldier because he refused to break up after being defeated at the Forbidden Station.

As soon as the two were combined, Tian Dan deduced the truth of the matter: the dude who didn't understand land warfare forced the veteran on the battlefield to risk an attack. The veteran on the battlefield was defeated and could only gather the elite to escape. However, because this group of soldiers was elite enough, they fled. There was no collapse yet.

Therefore, someone else must seize this opportunity to defeat the elite of Dayu Army in one fell swoop and seal the victory.

Tian Dan personally led the martial arts warriors and other elite warriors across the Weishui River to pursue Yu Jin, but unexpectedly his decision would push him into a situation of eternal disaster.

Lu Xun, who had been waiting for this moment, saw the right opportunity and ordered his men to break open the sandbags blocking the Weishui River. The rushing river immediately cut Tian Dan's troops into two sections. Tian Dan's main force failed to cross the Weishui River. There are only 30,000 people in the water.

Lu Xun took advantage of the situation and commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Tian Dan's headquarters. Yu Jin, Li Tong, Yan Xing, Zhu Ling and others attacked bravely. Half of the Qi army, which was already weak in fighting will, chose to surrender, and the other half died generously with Tian Dan.

At this point, the Battle of Weishui is no longer in suspense.

As the main force in this battle, although Yu Jin's troops suffered relatively large losses, they were the first to achieve success. Overall, the Dayu Army also took an absolute advantage.

The army took advantage of the situation and crossed the river to attack. Seeing that Tian Dan's troops were annihilated, the Qi army on the west bank had already become panicked. Facing the fierce attack of the Yu army, some surrendered and others fled in all directions.

The Battle of Weishui was definitely a very important battle for the Qi-Yu War, but this battle seemed like a small event in front of another battle.

His Majesty Dong Huang, the Emperor of Dayu, personally led tens of thousands of warships and appeared in the Bohai Sea. Part of the army marched along the Jishui River and the land, and part of the army landed and attacked Linzi.

Wherever they passed, they encountered almost no resistance that could bring the army to a halt.

In fact, there is no coastal defense at all in the coastal area north of Linzi in Qi State.

Seeing that the Yu State army was still three days away from Linzi, he sent people to ask Tian Dan to return for reinforcements, but only received the news that Tian Dan had been defeated and died in the battle. King Jian and Hou Sheng of Qi looked at each other in shock.

Hou Sheng finally remembered Fang Shan's "good words of persuasion". He understood that there was still a way to survive by persuading Qi Wangjian to surrender at this time. If he had other delusions, he would definitely die.

"Your Majesty, Dayu has always been famous for its benevolence and righteousness. Those who surrender to Dayu, whether they are the King of Chu or Lord Chun Shen and his son, will have food and wealth, and enjoy endless wealth."

Hou Sheng couldn't help but persuade.

"Isn't it because King Chu's mother couldn't enjoy it enough?"

Qi Wangjian couldn't help but snorted angrily.

The last king of Chu was King Chu You, Xiong Han, the son of King Chu Kaolie, and his mother was Li Yuan's sister Li Yan.

Dong Huang's public humiliation of Li Yan in the court of the Chu State and his wanton humiliation of Queen Chu Kaolie's harem were well-known and were used by many people as a source of conversation after dinner. Of course, Dong Huang was not that lewd, but Dong Huang did enjoy it. Li Yan, the charming Queen Mother of Chu. Qi Wangjian's words made Hou Sheng's heart skip a beat.

Hou Sheng, who knew Qi Wangjian very well, understood that what Qi Wangjian said just showed the fear and surrender in his heart, and he was just having doubts about his life after surrender.

"The queen mother of the king is my sister. If she were still alive, she would be willing to do anything for the king. I am still worried that I don't have a beautiful daughter that the king can take notice of, and Emperor Dayu can take notice of her!"

Hou Sheng gave Qi Wangjian reassurance: "Yu Renyi has never been reported to have insulted the king. Of course, if the king's daughter can marry His Majesty the Emperor Dayu..."

However, Hou Sheng's words did not completely convince Qi Wangjian.

How can the Tian family's hundreds of years of foundation be given up?

"Xiangguo, is Daqi really hopeless?"

Qi Wangjian held Hou Sheng's hand and burst into tears.

Even if there is even the slightest possibility, he is not willing to be the king of subjugation.

"Your Majesty!"

Hou Sheng was also a little impatient, but he still explained patiently: "To the west and north, there are all the troops of His Majesty the Emperor Dayu. The Dayu naval army has even blocked the Jishui River; to the west, Tiandan has already captured the last of Daqi's forces. The elite troops were ruined, and the enemy troops had already passed the Weishui River and were sharpening their swords! To the south were the mountains. I wonder if the king would like to escape to the mountains alone with his ministers, and follow the example of Boyi Shuqi, or escape to Lu by luck? , get caught and humiliated again?”

"This this……"

Qi Wangjian suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Feeling helpless, he hesitated again and again, and chose to surrender to Dayu when Dong Huang's army was still one day away from Linzi.

The King of Qi surrendered, and most of the remaining land in Qi State was decided by public opinion.

The people of Qi complained that the king of Qi had listened to the slanderous words of Hou Sheng and his guests, which had led to the defeat of Qi, so they made up a ballad: "Sorrowful, saddened, the one who destroys the founder wins!"

At this point, in terms of territory alone, Dayu has become one of the six in the traditional Kyushu region.

Because Dayu's advance was accurate and fast this time, and Great Qin had Zhao Ji and Mrs. Huayang holding it back. As a result, after Dayu destroyed the Qi State, the Qin State had not yet decided whether to send troops to rescue them.

After the fall of Qi, Dong Huang, who no longer wanted to pretend, ordered Han Wangan and Wei Wu, the son of King Wei Anli of Wei, to offer their kingdoms to Dayu respectively.

At this time, some Confucian scholars from Lu were discussing the matter of engraving stones to praise Yu De, and discussing the matter of ennobling Zen to worship mountains and rivers.

When Dong Huang heard this, he was granted the title of Zen and Mount Tai? Carving stones to perform meritorious deeds?
Yeah!

So Dong Huang went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, and his followers were seventy Confucian scholars and doctors from Qilu.

This made Chen Lin feel tremendous pressure - you outsiders actually dare to flatter me, huh, we'll see!
Thus, a colorful flattery war officially began.

In the first round, Chen Lin used her flattery skills, which she had followed Dong Huang for more than thirty years, to make these Confucian scholars lose their armor.

So, these Confucian scholars invited the ancestors of Duke Yansheng...

Chen Lin, who has been the best at talking and flattering for many years and has never been defeated, suffered the bitter pill of defeat for the first time...

The illiterate Dong Huang happily ate melons and went to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk.

During this period, the Confucian scholars who felt that they had done well wanted to make Dong Huang abide by their ancient etiquette, but they were beaten.

Afterwards, Dong Huang, who was in a happier mood, formally accepted the surrenders of the captive King Xiong Han of Chu You, the almost exiled King Wei Jingmin of Wei Wu, the surrendered Han Wangan, the surrendered Qi Wangjian, and the surrendered King Xi of Yan in Mount Tai.

When he was granted the title of Zen, Dong Huang was so blessed that he canonized Jia Xu as the Emperor of Dongyue.

Dongyue Mount Tai is the destination of the dead in traditional mythology.

Dong Huang felt that Jia Xu's abilities were somewhat similar to this position.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that after the canonization, the original soul master priesthood of Jia Xu's Nine Songs system also automatically became Dongyue Emperor.

Destroying Qi and completely digesting Qi, South Korea and part of Wei occupied most of Dayu's energy this year.

Four years after the Qin Dynasty passed quickly, the plague in Qin finally ended, which meant that Dayu's attack was about to begin again.

In the fifth year of the Qin Dynasty, as soon as the river was unblocked and the Ling and Flood Season passed, Dayu launched an attack with ulterior motives.

Zhou Tai, the naval commander who was named He Bo, personally led the navy upstream, looking for an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with the Qin navy.

River, in this era, specifically refers to the Yellow River, and He Bo is the water god of the Yellow River.

In ancient times, Heshui, Jiangshui, Jishui and Huaishui were collectively called the Four Rivers, and they were as important as the Five Mountains.

When He Bo entered the Yellow River, he was like a fish in water. Anyway, there is no He Bo in this world. In other words, the original He Bo has long since disappeared like some gods.

This gave Zhou Tai an opportunity to take advantage of.

Under the influence of Fengshen, the entire river showed extraordinary tameness towards Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai's troops, who were not familiar with the hydrology of the Yellow River, felt as if they had returned home on the Yellow River. On the contrary, the Qin army's navy, which had been operating in the Yellow River for a long time, started to Encountered such problems.

For example, when a wave hits, the wave that hits Yu Jun is as gentle as a licking dog who has to ask for advice when holding hands; the wave that hits Qin Jun is as fierce as an athlete who stands up and kicks.

Qin Jun cried and moaned bitterly after being beaten, and Qin Jun's ship's planks creaked, much like the creaking bed planks in the "520" hotel.

Dayu's water army had seven battles and seven victories, like a man who took medicine seven times a night, pressing the weak and weak Qin army into the water and rubbing it.

However, the Qin Army's building and ship troops are still very resilient.

The Yellow River Navy is a water force that has been operated by Qin since the capital of Ying suffered a loss. Over the years, it has fought many battles with Zhao, Wei and other naval forces, and its strength is very outstanding.

At this moment, the navy of the Qin Kingdom is like a battle-hardened Shang K girl. She looks fragile and about to collapse in every battle, but she can continue to fight fiercely in the next one.

Zhou Tai reached the vicinity of Xingyang from the mouth of the Yellow River, but failed to defeat the Qin navy.

Only then did Zhou Tai know that Qin's navy was actually commanded by Wang Jian. Zhou Tai vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

It was Huang Zhong and Pang Tong who realized something was wrong earlier.

After Huang Zhong's army destroyed Qi, they actively prepared for war. As the vanguard of Dong Huang's army, they launched an attack on Wei.

His Majesty, the Emperor of Dayu, who was so salty that his balls ached, once again went on a personal expedition with his royal chariot.

However, this time Dong Huang's personal expedition was still a must-win battle.

This time Da Yu mobilized more than three million troops, of which the number of Zhenguo Legion and Quasi-Zhenguo Legion troops exceeded one million.

It has been eight years since I came to this mission world. From the beginning, when I was cautious and didn't even dare to fight head-on, now, Dayu's army has finally grown up and dared to challenge any army of any country in the world.

It feels like a rabbit that has gone from "putting aside disputes and jointly developing" to "how dare you develop", holding a brick in its hand and greeting anyone who shows its head.

This time, Dayu not only determined to win his homeland south of the Han and Wei rivers, but also wanted to capture Nanyang in one fell swoop and push the Qin army back to the pass.

Considering that Qin State has experienced two years of famine and epidemic, and the new grain is not yet mature, it is actually the best time.

On the Bashu side, Gao Shun's Bashu army once again tried to attack Hanzhong and Jiameng Pass of Qin State. Although Qin general Qiang Xian gave up most of the Bazhong defense line, he never gave up on Jiange. Therefore, it was actually difficult to fight this way and could only play a containment role.

In Nanjun, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Yue Fei and other troops made another northern expedition. In this battle, Yue Fei was still the vanguard, and the troops were directed towards Wancheng. At the same time, Jiang Qin's troops and Zhang He's troops were divided into two groups, from Shangyong and Han Dynasties. Shui sent troops to once again threaten Xuguan and Hanzhong, further containing Hanzhong's troops and ensuring that Zhuge Liang's army was safe.

On the South Korean side, Dianwei's army marched into Xingyang again, Lejin's army once again surrounded Ye County, and Taishici's army provided support between the two armies; in addition, Guojia's army and Weiliao's army, which had restored 80% of their combat strength, went out. Chen Du, coordinated the actions of Huang Zhong's army.

Behind Huang Zhong's army was the mighty Dong Huang headquarters.

Dong Huang's army headquarters has 300,000 Huben troops. This is after a large number of Huben troops have been integrated into the legions of various generals to serve as middle and high-level generals.

It can only be said that Dong Huangjun has grown really fast over the years. The first batch of natural people, with their loyalty and qualifications, once they have enough time to grow up, it will not be a big problem to join the Huben Army.

If Dong Huang wanted to expand wantonly, the Huben army could even quickly expand to one million people. For example, there are many descendants of famous generals and middle-level generals, and a large number of southern barbarians who have followed Dong Huang for several worlds. There are too many who are suitable to join the Huben Army.

Of course, such an expansion in a short period of time will have a considerable impact on the military's combat effectiveness and finances.

The Huben Army is positioned as the elite among the elite, not the imperial army of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to the Huben Army, there are also millions of other troops.

With such an army, with sufficient logistics and high morale, Dong Huang didn't know how to lose.

As the vanguard, Huang Zhong wanted to show off the momentum of Dayu's number one general.

He even wanted to kill Wang Jian in formation.

However, when Huang Zhong's army launched an attack on Qin's territory in Wei, he found that all the Qin troops had left.

Wang Jian actually gave up Wei.

Huang Zhong could only lead his troops in pursuit, but the more he pursued, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that Wang Jian must have some conspiracy.

Pang Tong, who was impatient, also felt something was wrong.

Excluding the possibility of an ambush, if Wang Jian wants to use a trick, then it seems that the only way is...

"Water attack!"

Pang Tong's originally ugly face suddenly became even more ugly: "Wang Jian wants to dig a dam on the Yellow River!"

The generals of this era were not as benevolent as Dong Huang, and they could use water attacks without any psychological burden.

Once Wang Jian succeeds in breaking the embankment, not to mention Huang Zhong's army, even Dong Huang's army is likely to be affected.

And by then, the land of Han and Wei will become a vast country, and the Yu army will probably not be able to launch an attack from this direction for five or six years.

"What is Zhou Youping doing? Why hasn't he defeated the Qin navy yet?"

Huang Zhong remembered gritting his teeth.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."

Pang Tong plucked out two beards and paced around to sort out his thoughts: "It's not the flood season yet, so breaking the dike is of little significance, but we still have to report it to His Majesty and inform all friendly forces...

As for the location of the Qin army's breach of the embankment..."

Pang Tong looked at the map and stared at the direction of the Qin army's camp for a long time: "Xingyang, it should be here! Of course, we do not rule out sending people who dare to die to the middle and lower reaches. We must check again near the Yellow River of Han and Wei. Make sure there are no dead soldiers from the Qin State left! Otherwise, once the rainy season comes, the consequences will be disastrous!"
-
I wish my brothers that the Seventh Army will be flooded tonight!
