The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

After hearing this, Prince Jing asked with some concern, "But if this is the case, what about the defense line here? Without you in charge, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the Yue army."

General Wei smiled and said with emotion, "Although Chen Qingzhi is a civil official, he is very good at fighting. However, he is obviously just trying to scare us in Daliang. I'm afraid the Kingdom of Yue has reached its limit."

Prince Jing knew that although the State of Yue had occupied the surrounding lands, it had gained a powerful enemy and needed a lot of troops to defend against it. Although it had not reached its limit as General Wei said, it would probably not be able to attack again in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, he stopped dissuading and followed General Wei to various counties to mobilize troops.

General Wei rushed to various cities and took away a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses. When they merged with Prince Jing's army, they were said to have an army of 100,000, and they marched towards Nanjing in a mighty manner.

……

Hefei, County Governor's Mansion

When the Southern Chu army was moving towards the border, Wang Yue had already received news from Yuwen Lin, and he also specially summoned Chen Qianzhi back from the front line.

Chen Qingzhi was having a great time at the front line, and was a little confused when he was suddenly called back. As soon as he arrived at the government office in Hefei, he asked unwillingly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter that you called me back? I'm having a great time over there."

Wang Yue was speechless. He was very clear about Chen Qianzhi's operations on the confrontation line, and he had to admire Chen Qianzhi's boldness.

The 60,000 young and strong men that Wang Yue sent to Chen Qianzhi have all been arranged by Chen Qianzhi to see blood one after another.

As long as a soldier has seen blood, he is no longer a rookie. Although his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of veteran soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, it has increased a lot compared to when he first joined the army. In addition, these people are fighting for the land, so their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of veteran soldiers.

After watching Chen Qianzhi's operation, Wang Qianchen followed suit and also took his 20,000 new recruits for a walk on the field.

Now only the 20,000 new recruits under Wei Zheng are not moving, mainly because he has no battle to fight.

After hearing Chen Qingzhi's funny words, Wang Yue said helplessly, "Qingzhi, what's the fun in training new soldiers there? There is a new war to fight now. If you don't want to go, I will let Wei Zheng go. Anyway, he is more familiar with that area."

Chen Qingzhi was a very smart man. When he saw Wang Yue mention Wei Zheng, he immediately understood that Wang Yue was going to send troops to Southern Chu.

He rubbed his hands and asked expectantly, "My Lord, I wonder how this battle will end?"

Wang Yue looked at Chen Qingzhi's shining eyes and knew that he was being blamed, so he said helplessly, "You can dispatch the domestic and Yizhou corps at will. As long as you ensure that the homeland is not lost, how you fight depends on your ability."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Chen Qingzhi said excitedly, "The Yizhou Construction Corps has 200,000 soldiers and horses. Can I mobilize all of them?"

Wang Yue nodded and said confidently, "Yes, Yizhou Island has been occupied by us for so many years, and there are no enemies. The army there is idle anyway. It was originally prepared for Nanchu. You just need to deploy them."

After hearing this, Chen Qianzhi became even more excited at home. Although he was a scholar, he had dreamed of becoming a general since he was a child. After finally fighting a battle, his bloodiness was aroused.

Fortunately, he had not forgotten what he was doing, so he asked with some concern, "Your Majesty, who will lead the opposing armies now?"

Wang Yue looked at Chen Qingzhi's cunning expression and said speechlessly, "Isn't it still mine? I will go to Runan in a few days. With me watching over it, nothing will go wrong."

Seeing that Wang Yue was staying in Runan to make orders and did not rashly go to the front line, Chen Qingzhi felt relieved and hurriedly returned to the country with his personal guards.

……

After the Crown Prince of Nanchu led an army of more than 100,000 to the border, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The border town of Yue State here has been reinforced for more than ten years. Although the height of the city wall is not as high as the imperial city of Southern Chu, it is also very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He led his army to attack for more than ten days, but still failed to break through the border of Yue State. Instead, Yue State's border town had to wait for reinforcements, which were Yue State's regular army, and their combat effectiveness was even stronger than that of the border army.

Just when Yu Wenhao was getting extremely angry, even worse news came. A large army from the State of Yue came from the sea, had already captured Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and were conquering cities along the way. They were advancing rapidly towards the capital of Chu.

Yu Wenhao was dumbfounded when he received the news. The combined forces of Fuzhou and Quanzhou counties were about 30,000 to 50,000. How did Yue State take it so quickly? How many troops would it take?

Thinking that Prince Sheng was still in Kyoto, if the Yue army approached the city, they might force the King of Chu to pass the throne to Prince Sheng. Yuwen Hao could no longer sit still.

However, how could Chen Qingzhi, who had already arranged the offensive plan, allow Yuwenhao to lead the army back to the capital of Chu? Just as he was about to retreat, Wang Qianhu led 50,000 troops out of the border and held on to Yuwenhao's army.

As long as Yuwenhao dared to retreat, Wang Qianhu would attack immediately. If Yuwenhao defended, Wang Qianhu would hold his ground.

Although without the protection of the city wall, Yuwen Hao's army of more than 100,000 was still able to wipe out Wang Qianhu, but the power of Yue's bows and crossbows was extremely strong. If they wanted to completely defeat this force, the army of more than 100,000 would suffer at least 60,000 to 70,000 casualties, and this was without the support of Yue's border guards.

While Yu Wenhao was struggling, Chen Qianzhi would not be like that. After he captured Fuzhou and Quanzhou, he used the two states as a fulcrum and quickly approached the capital of the Chu State.

It only took a few days for traces of Yue troops to appear outside the capital of Chu.

The King of Chu became anxious when he saw this situation. He issued several gold medals in succession, summoning the prince to return to defend Kyoto, but he received no news for a long time.

In fact, after receiving the gold medal, Yuwen Hao did not dare to delay at all, and immediately sent his loyal subordinates to the capital of Chu to explain to the emperor.

However, Southern Chu had been severely infiltrated in recent years, with Jinyiwei spies everywhere, and Chen Qingzhi had already made arrangements. All of Yuwen Hao's envoys were killed along the way, and the news never reached the capital of Chu.

This caused the Emperor of Chu to misunderstand Yuwen Hao, and the gold medals he issued were more severe than the last.

Chapter 129: Awakening from a dream and unifying the world!

Faced with the increasingly severe imperial edicts in Kyoto, Yuwen Hao had no choice but to leave 30,000 troops to confront Wang Qianhu and lead the remaining troops to Kyoto.

However, the Crown Prince of Southern Chu had no idea that Chen Qianzhi had already led a large army and set up a tight net near Wuyi Mountain, waiting for his army to fall into the trap.

Thus, a battle similar to the one in which the Western Border Army annihilated the Red Flame Army occurred, but there was no Wang Yue to turn the tide.

Yuwen Hao's army was blocked in the valley, unable to advance or retreat. Under endless attacks from bows and crossbows, kerosene and gunpowder, they were soon defeated. Even Yuwen Hao died in the chaos.

It was not until Yuwen Hao's death that the Southern Chu army began to surrender, and the battle gradually came to an end.

After Chen Qingzhi wiped out Yuwen Hao, he left some people to clean up the battlefield and immediately returned to cooperate with Wang Qianhu to surrender the border troops of Southern Chu.

Upon learning of the prince's death, the remaining troops of Southern Chu surrendered without much struggle.

Chen Qingzhi left Wang Qianhu to stabilize the situation and cooperate with the Yue border troops to capture the nearby prefectures and counties. He himself led an army of 100,000 and quickly headed towards the capital of Chu.

Until he saw the imperial city under siege, the Emperor of Southern Chu had not figured out why a war he had long dreamed of to seize the home had turned into a war to destroy the country.

He was already quite old, and facing the 100,000-strong army outside the city, he felt dizzy and passed out.

Yuwenlin knew that he did not have the power to turn the tide, and he had already prepared himself mentally, so he decisively opened the city gate and surrendered.

Princess Li Yang did not expect that the Kingdom of Yue was so powerful. She passed the news that Southern Chu was going to attack the Kingdom of Yue back to the capital. Before she received any feedback from Daliang, the Kingdom of Yue had already arrived at the city.

She stood beside Yuwen Lin and watched the Yue army entering the city. She said to him with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this result. I just wanted to prevent Daliang from being destroyed, but I didn't expect this result today."

Yuwenlin knew that Nanchu would lose, but he didn't expect it to be so quick. Looking at the guilty Liyang, he could only smile bitterly and comfort him, "I love beauty more than the country. I think my son-in-law won't make things difficult for me. I can still save my life. Although I lost the country, don't I still have you?"

Li Yang was really moved this time. She nodded quickly and said excitedly, "For the rest of my life, no matter what the weather, I will stand by your side."

Yu Wenlin looked at the tenderness in Li Yang's eyes, and suddenly felt that he had not lost completely, and was many times stronger than his brother.

……

Chen Qianzhi was not like Wang Yue when it came to fighting. He always sought safety. If he felt there was a one percent chance, he would always give it a try.

So, with the cooperation of Yuwen Lin, he quickly recruited the various armies of Southern Chu to surrender, and then, with more than 100,000 surrendered Southern Chu soldiers and horses, totaling more than 200,000 troops and horses, he suddenly marched westward towards Nanjing.

The Jiangzhou navy of Yue State no longer just defended, but also cooperated and went upstream towards Jiangxia.

The Daliang navy in Jiangxia was facing the overwhelming Yue navy and was only focused on guarding against Yue. Suddenly, a navy came from Nanchu on the other side of the river and quickly broke through the Jiangxia water fort.

Jiangxia was the gateway to Jinling. Once Jiangxia was lost, Jinling was right in front of them. With the navy opening the way, the Jinling navy was quickly wiped out near Dongting Lake.

While Prince Yu and Prince Jing were still confronting each other in Nanjing, they suddenly received news that the Yue general Chen Qingzhi had destroyed Southern Chu and led more than 200,000 troops across the Yangtze River towards Nanjing.

What was even more fatal was that Wang Yue had already received the news that Chen Qianzhi had destroyed Southern Chu in advance. He suddenly withdrew more than 100,000 troops and launched a powerful attack while General Wei was away. He successively conquered Nanyang and Xiangyang, and the vanguard army also arrived at the city of Jinling.

Today, although Jinling City is still in the hands of Daliang, it is simply impossible to rely on Jinling City to feed the 200,000 troops of Prince Jing and Prince Yu.

What’s even more terrible is that at this moment, Emperor Liang suddenly woke up!

This was originally a good thing for Daliang, but it was not good for Prince Yu.

Originally, he had the advantage of the Queen, and he was in an advantageous position in the negotiation with Prince Jing. Now, after hearing the news, he knew that his retreat was over. If the Emperor took control of the military power, he would surely die.

Under the instigation of Qin Prajna, he secretly sent a secret letter to Chen Qianzhi, preparing to surrender to the Kingdom of Yue.

So, just when the Daliang Emperor Xiao Xuan woke up to take charge of the situation and prepared to liquidate the rebels, the army of Yue State, with the cooperation of the Qingli Army under Prince Yu, suddenly broke into the imperial city.

The Imperial Guards sounded very powerful, but they were no match for the Yue army. In order to quickly capture Nanjing, Wang Yue even took out all the gunpowder that had been hidden for a long time. Not to mention the surrendered soldiers of Southern Chu who were so anxious to make a contribution that they were blood-thirsty.

Under multiple casualties, although Daliang still had more than 100,000 soldiers in Nanjing, they had almost no resistance and continued to retreat towards the imperial city.

It took Chen Qianzhi less than a day to capture the imperial city of Daliang.

At this time, Xiao Xuan had no way to change the situation and could only choose to surrender.

Wang Yue's arrangement was still the same as that of Southern Chu. He sent people with the imperial edict of Xiao Xuan's surrender to recruit rebels along the way. The Kingdom of Yue annexed Daliang again without any effort.

Although the war was won, Wang Yue had never faced such a chaotic situation before, and his weak imperial acumen seemed inadequate.

After all, there were too many people surrendering, and he really didn't know which one was sincere to him and which one was not.

Fortunately, Wang Yue had already formed a cabinet. With the help of the cabinet headed by Chen Qingzhi, dealing with these matters made Wang Yue's life much easier.

At this point, Wang Yue had no choice but to proclaim himself emperor, and this was something everyone knew.

The only thing that made everyone a little confused was that Princess Nihuang, who was in Yunnan, suddenly returned to Kyoto and became Wang Yue’s concubine.

Nihuang's choice stabilized the unstable situation in Yue State. Even the restless countries such as Beiyan, Dayu, Yeqin, etc. became more obedient.

In fact, the reason why Nihuang made the choice was not only because the Prince Mu's Mansion and the Kingdom of Yue had always been in mutual assistance, and not only because Wang Yue and she had been married before, but the most important thing was because of the strength of the Kingdom of Yue.

After the news of the Nanjing War spread, not only did Daliang fall into submission, but even Prince Mu's Mansion, which had been keeping an eye on the situation, was frightened.

In particular, the spies who rushed over from Jinling reported that the explosives made by the Yue State were extremely powerful and could even be thrown over by catapults to cause a stable explosion. This was the real reason why the city of Jinling could not be defended.

Nihuang knew very well that even though she had 10 cavalry, if they encountered this kind of gunpowder catapult, they would be quickly wiped out.

Instead of waiting for Wang Yue to turn against her, she might as well take the initiative to enter the palace as a concubine, which would also leave a way out for the Mu family.

August of the sixth year of Yuanyou

Without declining the throne three times, Wang Yue was officially crowned the throne in Nanjing with the support of all the civil and military officials in the court. He named the country Yue and changed the era name to Chengping.

Qian was the empress, Nihuang was the imperial concubine, Xiao Jingyao and Yuwen Nian were concubines, and other concubines also had their own arrangements.

In addition, according to the proposal of the Yue cabinet, the six ministers and the chief ministers of the former Daliang and Southern Chu were absorbed into the cabinet, expanding the number of cabinet members.

According to the cabinet's arrangement, the original border generals and local officials were not replaced, and they were even given additional rewards.

The twelve generals of the Qian and Kun generations trained by the State of Yue also led their troops to garrison in various places, showing how full of talents the State of Yue, which had accumulated talents for ten years, was.

Wang Yue originally wanted Mei Changsu to serve as an official in the court, but Mei Changsu chose to retire and wander around the world with Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang, becoming a pair of fairy lovers.

Wang Yue knew Mei Changsu's physical condition. Even under such circumstances, Gong Yu was still devoted to Mei Changsu, which showed how deep her love was. Mei Changsu also found his home.

Wang Yue also gave some thrones without fiefs to the royal families of the Chu and Yue countries, and let them live near Jingshan outside the city of Jinling, where they were supported and monitored by the royal treasury.

Seeing that there was no large-scale massacre after Wang Yue ascended the throne, the surrendered royal family members and officials also felt relieved.

After several tentative frictions, Dayu and Beiyan found that the soldiers of Yue were more ferocious than those of Daliang, so they no longer dared to covet the land of Yue.

After the border was stabilized, Wang Yue, with the support of the cabinet, began to prepare to rectify internal forces.

In the summer of the second year of Chengping,

Wang Yue announced that the equal land tax campaign had begun throughout the country. After the imperial edict was issued, it was immediately read out everywhere by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The people of the entire Yue State were in an uproar, but the aristocratic families became undercurrents.

Along with the implementation of the equal land tax, rebellions broke out everywhere. In the second half of the second year of Chengping alone, more than ten rebellions broke out across the country. However, they were quickly suppressed by the army with the cooperation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This rebellion that broke out from time to time continued until the sixth year of Chengping, a total of more than five years, before it finally calmed down completely.

In the eighth year of Chengping, autumn

Wang Yan, the eldest son of the King of Yue, entered the army for the first time and served under Wei Zheng, officially joining the army.

In the same year, the emperor's second son, Wang Yu, was not to be outdone and served under General Zhenwei Wang Qianchen, who was stationed in Luoyang.

In the ninth year of Chengping, in late spring and early summer,

Former General Wei Zheng, with the cooperation of Qingzhou Navy Commander Nie Yi, took advantage of the melting ice to attack Northern Yan, swept across Jizhou, and headed straight for Youzhou.

In the same year, early summer

Upon hearing that Wei Zheng's advance was going smoothly, General Zhenwei Wang Qianchen led his army into Henei County. In just ten days, they captured Taiyuan, occupied the eastern part of Bingzhou, and faced Dayu across the river.

In the autumn of the same year, Northern Yan was destroyed!

In the spring of the tenth year of Chengping,

General Fenwei Wang Qianhu led his army out of Chang'an, and with the cooperation of Wang Qianchen, he quickly captured the entire Bingzhou.

At the same time, General Wang Jing led an army of 100,000 out of Qinzhou and captured Lingzhou, the capital of Dayu State.

In the summer of the same year, Dayu was destroyed!

In the twelfth year of Chengping,

Later, General Wang Jing led 100,000 cavalrymen to attack Liang Province again. The Qin Emperor abandoned the capital and fled to the west overnight.

The cavalry commander under the general, Wang Kunyi, led his troops in pursuit and defeated the Qin emperor's army in Gaochang.
