In Linzi, the year 3920 of the Taoist calendar, the city was full of storms.
After the timeline advances to December, it becomes even more intense than ever!
First, the army of conquering Xia was blocked in front of Tongyang City...
After being unstoppable in the early stage, the three teams quickly entered a long tug-of-war.
It was November 20th when the Qi army arrived at Tongyang City.
On the same day, Xie Huai'an commanded 300,000 allied troops from the eastern regions, and the troops marched to Linwu. Chen Fu commanded 300,000 county troops, and the troops marched to peace.
There has been no further progress since then.
It took four days to change the flags of Fengjie Prefecture.
After fighting for half a month, we still failed to capture Linwu and Youping!
As we all know, Qi Faxia is attacking the strategic space in the world situation and seizing the unprecedented opportunity of the Jingmu War. He must be quick!
Even common people's discussions on the street have this consensus.
However, after Cao Jie arrived at Xia Guoxiangyou Mansion, he actually started to waste his time. It is said that he only trained troops outside Tongyang City every day, and rode many times on the Jiangyin Plain to enjoy the scenery. He did not care about the war on the northern or eastern fronts.
Some voices gradually began to rise among the government and the public.
The Qi army's millions of troops arrived in the summer on the 8th. In just one day, they defeated Jianfeng Mountain, and in three days, they occupied the entire Fengjie mansion! In less than one day, they defeated the Jiulong Lihuo Formation and forced out the Xia Kingdom's National Defense Formation!
This shows that the Qi army is strong and the Xia army is weak.
Since the Xia Kingdom was so weak, why didn't Cao Jie defeat it with one blow?
Chen Fu and Xie Huai'an each commanded an army of 300,000 men. How could they fight for peace and tranquility and then go to war slowly and leisurely?
Among all the voices, there is one that is most widely spread
The Xia State is so weak, and Cao Jie is so slow in fighting, it would be better to let Chongxuan Chu Liang be the commander!
Between the government and the public, there has always been an endless debate about who is stronger and weaker, Cao Jiu or Chongxuan Chu Liang. When it comes to the impact of their status in the military hall, the two have always been neck and neck, with Cao Jiu slightly better.
In terms of military achievements, Cao Jiu had no name in his life. Chu Liang, Chongxuan, fought many amazing battles that could even be recorded in history. He was far more conspicuous than Cao Jiu.
In terms of cultivation, Chu Liang, Chongxuan, was promoted to the real person in the world with the power of the No. 1 God in the Eastern Region. In the first battle of Dongzhen, he faced the real person Chongguang of Diaohailou, which was much more impressive than Cao Jiexuan, who had always been unshowy.
.
And review this time's Battle of Xia.
People can also easily find that the reason why Cao Jie was able to fight fast in the beginning was actually due to Chongxuan Chu Liang.
It was Xi Tu who risked his own life, captured Jianfeng Mountain in one day, and forced Yu Liyang to retreat. This defeated the will of the Xia army in Fengjie Prefecture, and allowed them to occupy the entire Fengjie Prefecture in the next three days.
But after that, in order to suppress Ji Tu's military exploits, Cao Jie actually pinned such a handsome man in front of Tongyang City.
Accompany him to train slowly.
Let the Youping battlefield and Linwu battlefield struggle, but don't interfere!
Qi is strong and Xia is weak.
If we can occupy Fengjie in four days, why can't we occupy Xiangyou, Youping and Linwu in four days?
It won’t work in four days, and it won’t work in fourteen days!
In such a crucial war, no progress was made in fourteen days.
What does Cao Jiu want to do?
What is Cao Ji doing?
The trump card was revealed at the very beginning, and Dingyuan Marquis Chongxuan Chu Liang and contemporary city-destroying Marquis Li Zhengyan risked their lives one after another. The nine-person army fought desperately and delivered the Ziji Zhenglong directly... and then the tug-of-war began.
?
Regarding Cao Jiu as a man who is incompetent and jealous, all kinds of voices that the emperor should replace Cao Jiu with fierce slaughter began to become louder.
These voices had little impact at first, they were just the chatter of people who couldn't understand the situation.
But on December 7, 3920 in the Dao calendar, when a major news came, public opinion instantly erupted...
On this day, the Jing Kingdom, one of the top six powers in the world, officially launched the war of westward expansion!
After the formal military court meeting, the military court empire that dominated the western part of the Northern Territory dispatched Yingyang Guard General Zhongshan Yanwen, Qinghai Guard General Jiang Kelian, Qiaoqi Commander Xiahou Lie, and Shooting Commander Cao Yu, each with the title of their own.
Army, send troops to the Northwest Five Nations Alliance!
The Six Guards and Seven Guards of the Jing Kingdom are the foundation of this military empire. But this time, four armies were dispatched at once, with a posture that was like thunder and jade.
During the all-out battle between Jingmu and Qi and the Qi army's massive attack on Xia, Jing seemed to be freeing up its hands to deal with its "old friends" to the west.
The five countries of Han, Iron, Liao, Zhen, and Gao, the bitter cold land in the northwest, woke up and faced the shining blade of the Junting Empire.
Although the warriors broke out in the northwest of the present world, the impact of this incident on Qi State was also far-reaching.
Major events in the world are never isolated, especially at the level of the top six in the world. Any action will affect the pattern of the world.
The war of westward expansion launched by Jing State seems to be only Jing State's own business.
But what it shows is a gesture, and what it exposes is a fact. In the war between you and Jing Mu, we, the Jing Kingdom, have flawlessly intervened.
Real troops were sent out, and the war with real swords and guns began.
Even if Jing State wanted to get away and do something, it was no longer possible. Jing State threw itself into the battlefield, which meant that both Mu and Jing States could let their hands and feet go more freely.
The westward expansion of the Jing Kingdom actually intensified the intensity of the Jingmu War!
The chain reaction caused by this is...Qi State's expedition to Xia put greater time pressure on it.
Because the intensity of the Jingmu War has increased, it means that the two hegemons will decide the outcome faster.
Time waits not for us!
Therefore, after the Jing Kingdom launched the war of westward expansion, they criticized Cao Jun for being incompetent, insulted Cao Jun for harming the country, demanded that the front line speed up, demanded that Chongxuan Chu Liang be replaced, and even asked for the military god to wear armor and go into battle... all of a sudden.
Can't contain it.
Not all of these voices are from other countries.
A large part of them are sincerely thinking about the Da Qi Empire and are worried about this war. There are even pessimistic sayings: "Today's expedition to Xia will not be won quickly but will be destroyed soon"!
Public opinion has fermented to this point, and it is time to respond.
Even Cao Jie, who was on the front line, felt more or less pressure.
But at this critical moment.
Chongxuan Chu Liang, who was on the battlefield, traveled thousands of miles to rush back a copy of "Bearing the Lamp Night to Play the Emperor's Book". It was sent to the emperor, princes, and officials, and to all the officials and concubines.
In this memorial, w; Ji Tu clearly stated that Cao Jie's entire strategy of conquering Xia was implemented perfectly. He was convinced that Cao Jie commanded the army to conquer Xia.
He will strictly abide by Cao Jie's military orders and contribute all his strength to speed up the end of this war.
Regarding the debate between the government and the public about him and Cao Jie, he even wrote clearly -
In a battle with thousands of armies, he is not as good as me. In fighting to kill millions, I am not as good as him. In this battle that will overwhelm the country, I will follow him!
It can be regarded as a personal end to the dispute between him and Cao Du for his leadership ability. It ended with self-destruction. With a lifetime of honor, Cao Du was fulfilled.
As soon as this memorial came out, the voices of both the government and the public who wanted to replace Cao with him were immediately silenced.
Following closely behind was the military god Jiang Mengxiong, who publicly spoke out through the Zhenguo Marshal's Mansion, saying that Cao Jie fought well in this battle and that Xia Kingdom had no chance at all. He firmly supported Cao Jie.
And then...
Emperor Qi was in the court hall, facing all the civil and military officials, and made a categorical statement.
"In the war against Xia, we will not interfere with Cao Jiu in any way. We support Cao Jiu unconditionally! If Cao Jiu says we will fight for one year, I will support him for one year. If Cao Jiu says we will fight for ten years, I will support him for ten years!"
Then all sounds were silenced.
The public opinion stirred up by unknown promoters was quelled.
After all, Emperor Qi even said the words "fight for ten years". Cao Jie has only been dawdling for more than ten days now, so what is there to be anxious about?
