Chapter 222 Eight Kingdoms in One
Author: Sky Drive
He Yue sneaked in to see Feng Ran in the night, and did not alarm the servants of the Commander's Office. Naturally, he did not dare to go directly to the court from the Commander's Office. He had to get up and go back to the palace to change clothes and have breakfast. Although he was a little reluctant, He Yue had to stand up and say, "I will write the memorial for you when I go back to the palace and approve it. It will be easier for you to go to court and receive the memorial."
Zheng Xiunian heard the two of them talked late, and at this time he couldn't help but look at He Yue. In the world, where was the emperor who helped the ministers write memorials? Then should he write memorials for himself? He criticized it himself? Although this action is strange, Zheng Xiunian could feel the feelings behind this strange action. Although Zheng Xiunian vowed not to get married, there were also women who were close friends. He was not unfamiliar with love affairs. How could he understand the implicit meaning of He Yue's memorials? So he thought, in the future, he should write memorials for Feng Ran, and don't throw the opportunity to please Feng Ran to He Yue for nothing.
Before leaving, He Yue said, "In a few days, it will be Mid-Autumn Festival. Can the general allow me to come to your house to ask for a cake? Let's have a chat with the general for fun?"
Feng Ran replied: "I am going to go to Shiyu Town tomorrow and arrange fortifications to be built, and then go to Nanzao County to check the soldiers' preparations. In addition, there are some other things that cannot come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but that's fine." Feng Ran has been expelled from the family and is still alive. At this reunion festival, Feng Ran has no one to be reunited.
He Yue said: "Then wait for you to come back from the north and find time to have a chat. The war in the north, you must be careful on your way."
Feng Ran responded with a smile and sent He Yue to the gate of Rongyuan. When He Yue left, he gently said to his back: "Goodbye Dingshan, Your Majesty has cleared again." He Yue's steps were stagnant.
Zheng Xiunian said coldly, "He is losing weight, what does it have to do with you?" He called Pan'er Wan'er to instruct, "Get water to wash the small living room well and clean it. It disturbs people's dreams and leaves the pickled air in the house." Feng Ran looked at Zheng Xiunian lightly, turned around and went back to the house to change clothes and comb his hair, preparing to go to court, thinking: Who is the obsessive about cleanliness?
The war on the West Road was tragic and critical. The battle between Rongguo and Haoguo and Wuhei West Road quickly reached a point of life and death. After the capital was lost, Rongguo had to consider the life and death of his own country. Rongguo is no better than Jianguo, but there are six internal countries and there are nowhere to escape. To the west of Rongguo is the vast Tiansha Desert, with only a very small section of Kuangyuan Swamp to the south, and the east is the Kuangyuan Swamp. To the south is the Kuangyuan Swamp, I definitely dare not enter. I ventured to enter the Tiansha Desert west, either thirsty in the desert, or crossed the desert, fled to Kai'an and became a refugee. To the south, there are roads without going back, and there are only two roads left, either to die in the battle and coexist with the country, or to cross the Qingshui to retreat to Suoyun Kingdom for the time being.
Finally, Rongguo and Haoguo and Wuhei West Road army fought and retreated eastward. The Wuhei Army, who was chasing him, gradually forced to the bank of the Qingshui River. In desperation, Rongguo and Haoguo could only force the crossing of Qingshui River except to die in battle. The Emperor Rongguo personally put on armor and led the remaining troops to cover the retreat. He insisted on not crossing the Qingshui River, and finally died in battle, becoming the emperor in Fengmeng Da 6 who coexisted with the country in the battle against Wuhei Barbarians.
Records of the Grand Historian: On August 19, the first year of Jingyun, Rong Kingdom was destroyed by Wuhei Barbarians. The emperor fought to his death and was broken with the country!
The Emperor Rong left his last words and ordered the prince to lead the country. During the war, he temporarily merged into the Suoyun Kingdom. He decided to expel Wuhei Barbarians, recover the lost territory, and avenge himself.
Records of the Grand Historian: On August 23, the first year of the Jingyun period, the Rong Kingdom signed an agreement and temporarily merged into the Suoyun Kingdom during the war to jointly fight against the black barbarians of the fog.
This temporary merger agreement is clearly intended to use the power of Suoyun Kingdom to regain lost territory. When the Wuhei Barbarians are driven away, Rong Kingdom will withdraw from Suoyun Kingdom according to the agreement and become independent again. Because it is a temporary merger, Rong Kingdom's personnel, materials and army are relatively independent, mainly provided by Suoyun Kingdom, and Rong Kingdom obeyed the dispatch of Suoyun Kingdom. During the temporary merger, Suoyun Kingdom did not assign the title of Prince Rong Kingdom, and the officials were also subject to the restraining arrangements of Rong Kingdom.
With the precedent of Rongguo setting up, Haoguo felt that temporary merger was an excellent idea. On the one hand, he could find a temporary place to live and subsequent supplies. On the other hand, he could also rely on the power of Suoyun Kingdom to restore the country in the future. It was just that he needed to temporarily obey Suoyun Kingdom's envoys and dispatches. It seemed that the temporary merger took advantage, so Haoguo also signed a temporary merger agreement.
Records of the Grand Historian: On August 30, the first year of the Jingyun period, the State of Hao signed an agreement and temporarily merged into the State of Suoyun during the war.
How could He Yue not understand the intention of Rongguo and Haoguo? However, He Yue had his own plans: this battle could not be completed in two years. He had time, patience and excuses to put his own personnel into Rongguo and Haoguo, and dispatched the capable generals of Rongguo and Haoguo to his own group, gradually combined the personnel of both sides and boiled a frog in warm water. Besides, Rongguo and Haoguo experienced consecutive battles and battles, and forced the crossing of the Qingshui River, with heavy casualties. There were not many people who fled to Suoyun Kingdom, but about eight people on Rongguo.
Wan, Haoguo only has about 40,000. Both countries have lost their country and their personnel cannot be replenished. In the future war, Suoyun Kingdom has not maintained the two countries in vain, so they naturally want them to fight. The two teams will only consume less and less. He Yue is not afraid of them making any waves. Signing a temporary merger agreement is to obtain the power to send troops to recover lost territory reasonably and legally. Suoyun Kingdom can wait for the victory of the war to demand that Rongguo and Haoguo be merged completely. If Rongguo and Haoguo do not comply, they will find an excuse to directly get rid of the Prince of Rongguo and the Emperor of Haoguo.
From the fifth day of the sixth month to the thirtyth day of August, the Suoyun Kingdom achieved the eight countries of Suo, Yin, Hong, Yongchang, Kangcheng, Fenghe, Rong and Hao. The entire Fengmeng Da 6 was left with only the three countries of Suoyun Kingdom, Ting Kingdom, and Zheguo Middle Road. The Wu Kingdom only had the middle road near the southern foot of the Yishan Mountains on the border of Wujia. Jian Kingdom directly abandoned the country and fled to the sea. There was also a Jia Kingdom that had no land and occupied Yishan Town, Nanzao County. Although the Suoyun Kingdom reached the eight countries of the country, the land area was only increased a lot in theory, but in fact, it only increased the part of the Yin Kingdom.
As Feng Ran predicted, after completely occupying Fengmeng West Road, the Wuhei Western Route Army detoured the upper reaches of the Weihei Middle Route Army and met with Wuhei Middle Route Army. Emperor Sular transferred most of the Eastern Route Army to the Middle Route Army, leaving only about 50,000 troops to continue attacking the remaining troops besieging Wu Kingdom.
In early September, the Wuhei Dynasty finally fought against the Three Kingdoms in the Middle Route. As long as the Wuhei army took over the Three Kingdoms in the Middle Route, it could declare its full possession of Fengmeng Da 6. The Ukrainian and Jia Kingdom relied on Yishan to resist the Three Kingdoms in the Middle Route. It was no problem at all.
In this battle, with the continuous resistance of the first nine countries during the demise, it bought valuable time for the three countries in the middle to adjust their defenses, and also adjusted their mentality and morale, re-stabilizing their morale.
The war still started from Nanzao County, and Feng Ran personally supervised the battle and commanded it.
Yi had long known that this would be the front line of war with the Wuhei Army. For the Weiyuan Army, this battle was to fight with preparation. The meaning of being prepared does not mean that we should wait for the enemy to attack and fight with it. Feng Ran, or the combat style of the Zheng family army, will never be empty-handed when we can prepare. The Zheng family army will never fight with the enemy on the plain. If we want to fight with the hand-to-hand fight to decide the outcome of life and death, unless we have to, it will be stupid and abandoned by the military.
Feng Ranyi had already asked Wei Yuanjun to dig several trenches on the plain where the rice had just been harvested, and half-dry and half-wet straw was buried in the trenches. During the harvest season on the plain, straw was everywhere and used as you can. However, Feng Ran ordered people to pour some grease into the straw and fill it with ignition-induced objects such as sulfur. The trenches were skillful in digging, which was long, wide and not too deep. Long was to block the impact of the fog and black man in horizontal direction; wide was to jump into the trenches.
In the ditch, you have to run at least a dozen steps before you can rush to the edge of the ditch. Even a martial arts master cannot sweep past it, and you must fall into the ditch. If it is not too deep, you will not get hurt if you jump down. Moreover, straw is laid at the bottom of the ditch, which can make people have the courage to jump down. The bottom of the ditch is tilted. The jump surface is slightly shallow, and the surface that needs to be climbed is deeper. It is easy to jump down and it is difficult to get up, which makes it more difficult to jump.
Such a trench looks like no risk and cannot take human life.
After the trench, Feng Ran ordered Weiyuan Army to build a simple fence earth wall, which was only slightly taller than the people. The wall was just pasted with thick layers of soil on several layers of fences, and there were holes and gaps on the wall. It was not strong and solid at all, and could not stand the impact of the fog-hei barbarians.
Such a fence and earthen wall looks like tofu, and I am afraid that it will fall down if I push you, so how can I block the enemy?
The trench in front could not kill the enemy's life, and the earth wall behind could not save his life. The Weiyuan army, who had never followed Feng Ran to fight, couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but the soldiers of the Zheng family army had no doubt about what Feng Ran told him and immediately started to do it.
Whether in the Southern Qing Army or in the Weiyuan Army, Chen Danqiu was the commander of the army, but when Feng Ran came, he became Feng Ran's subordinate. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it on the surface. He Yue's appointment of Feng Ran had long been spread throughout the three kingdoms in the middle route. The appointment edict stated that Feng Ran was granted the right to be military proficient. If he dared to openly disobey Feng Ran, Feng Ran had the right to directly dismiss him. Therefore, Chen Danqiu led his Weiyuan Army generals to obey Feng Ran's orders without any disobedience. With the leadership of Chen Danqiu and the generals, although the soldiers of the Weiyuan Army were full of doubts about Feng Ran's orders, they also followed the execution without restraint.
