He got the news earlier than Zhu Di of the Ming Empire.
"This Apocalypse Empire! This Cheng Mu!"
At this moment, he couldn't calm down anymore.
When sending troops to go on an expedition, shouldn't you tell your big brother, yourself?
"His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji thought about it and said, "The Qi Empire may have its own plans."
Could it be that the wings of the Apocalypse Empire hardened so quickly?
On one side, he led his army to attack the Ming Empire, and on the other side, he sent Guo Jia to come and talk about it.
What exactly does this mean? What does it do?
"They are too confident in themselves."
Li Shimin sneered: "Withdrawing the army from the Song Empire without my consent, this Cheng Mu, I underestimated him at the beginning."
In fact, Li Shimin was not angry at Cheng Mu for using troops against the Ming Empire.
What made him most angry was that the Apocalypse Empire withdrew its troops from the Song Empire without even saying hello.
In this way, on the battlefield of the Song Empire, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were deeply passive.
"Your Majesty, we must always beware of his alliance with the Song Empire."
Changsun Wuji thought of the worst possible outcome.
"If the Apocalypse Empire sneaks up on our army from behind, General Li Jing's side will be at risk of being wiped out."
Since Li Jing's Shenwu Army passed through Qingzhou Province in the Apocalypse Empire, they naturally had to bear the risk of being attacked from behind by Cheng Mu.
"He dares!"
Li Shimin puffed his beard and glared angrily. If Cheng Mu really dared to do this, he would first lead an army to destroy the Apocalypse Empire!
At best, our Tang Empire would only face enemies from the north. In a sense, it was in an invincible position.
You must know that the three directions of the Tang Empire, southeast and west, were the sea.
Enemies from the sea? No, no, no, Li Shimin is very confident in his Datang Navy now.
After General Su Dingfang learned the shipbuilding technology of the Apocalypse Empire, he did not think that his Tang Dynasty navy was weaker than the navy of the Apocalypse Empire.
"Your Majesty, having said that, we must be fully prepared."
Changsun Wuji is very stable.
As a counselor, he naturally has to take precautions and make the most complete preparations.
"Um."
Li Shimin actually knew it too.
But in this case, the Tang Empire would become passive. On Li Jing's side, the Tang Dynasty would be completely controlled by the Apocalypse Empire.
The feeling of being caught by someone is not pleasant at all!
"Give me orders."
There was no other way. In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to send more troops: "I ordered Cheng Aiqing to quickly lead his troops to rescue Li Jing!"
At first, Cheng Yaojin planned to wait for Li Jing to open up the situation in the Song Empire, and then use the road to go north to attack the Liao Empire.
But now it seems that he must increase his troops.
The reason why Cheng Yaojin was sent to the throne was not to destroy the Liao Empire, but to preserve Li Jing's Shenwu Army. At the same time, this was also the only way to defeat the generals of the Yang family in the Song Empire.
On Guangnan East Road in the Song Empire, the generals of the Yang family led by Yang Ye were like a natural chasm, blocking Li Jing there.
During this period, Li Jing also thought of many ways.
But facing the brave and invincible Yang family's army, the Shenwu Army under his command did not take much advantage.
In the past six months, Guangnan East Road in the Song Empire was like a huge millstone of flesh and blood. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides were crushed and buried there.
"Your Majesty, where is the envoy from the Apocalypse Empire?"
Although Li Shimin increased his troops, Changsun Wuji still felt that the situation was not optimistic.
At present, the envoy of the Ming Empire, Yu Qian, is still here, and the envoy of the Apocalypse Empire is also on his way.
How should we deal with it then?
"Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Li Shimin had a headache as soon as he heard this.
On the one hand, he is already wary of the strength of the Apocalypse Empire. If possible, he would not mind joining forces with the Ming Empire to destroy the Apocalypse Empire together.
But the current situation is that all the main forces of the Tang Dynasty are in the quagmire of war in the Song Empire.
If we withdraw our troops, we might be counter-invaded by the Song Empire!
More importantly, once it breaks with the Apocalypse Empire, the Tang Dynasty may be attacked by a joint attack from the Song Empire and the Apocalypse Empire. At least, Li Jing's Shenwu Army has no chance of survival.
On the other hand.
If the war between the Apocalypse Empire and the Ming Empire is left alone, no matter who annexes whom in the end, they will become the new enemies of the Tang Empire.
The battlefield is always changing rapidly.
Want to wait until the end to reap the benefits? There are too many variables.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Li Shimin's headache, Changsun Wuji expressed his opinion again: "Why don't we mediate again?"
"As long as we end the war in the Song Empire, then the Apocalypse Empire will no longer be a threat no matter how powerful it is."
They believe that the power of the Apocalypse Empire lies in its vast territory. As long as the Tang Dynasty annexes the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xixia, the area will become even more powerful than the Apocalypse Empire.
At that time, in front of the powerful Tang Empire, the Apocalypse Empire will still be the younger brother.
"Mediate again?"
Li Shimin shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue."
Cheng Mu's ambition has been exposed and he wants to satisfy his appetite...
At least he knew that Zhu Di was not that kind of 'generous' person.
And indeed.
Cheng Mu never thought about mediating again from beginning to end.
The opportunity for war has arrived, and he will be a fool if he does not seize it.
If we don't go to war while the Ming Empire has not recovered its strength, do we have to wait until the Ming Empire returns to its peak in the hands of Zhu Di?
Northland sandy area.
Cheng Mu personally inspected Lei Dun's Shah Army here again.
Each and every one of the half million soldiers of the King's Sand Army is at the first level of strength, and they can make the yellow sand vibrate with every movement of their hands and feet.
At the same time, the Asian barbarian army commanded by Di Ri in the rear was not to be outdone.
The five hundred thousand Asian barbarian army is the result of Gu Gu's lifelong efforts.
After solving the fertility problem of the Asian barbarians, today's Asian women really have one litter in their lifetime.
And the quality of their birth is of the highest quality. All of them are warriors, born warriors. As long as they ensure that they can eat food, these sub-barbarians will grow very fast!
"Open up new territory and expand territory!"
On the high reviewing stand, Cheng Mu shouted loudly, which was his request and encouragement to all soldiers.
Only the Ming Empire can be destroyed.
Then his Apocalypse Empire will become the most powerful empire in Chinese civilization and even the entire world, bar none!
"Buzz!"
A huge trumpet sounded, and half a million Shah's troops followed suit.
Half a month later.
When nearly eight million troops gathered at the border of the Ming Empire, Zhu Di in Yingtian Mansion could no longer sit still.
"It's really too much to deceive others!"
Ten armies, nearly 10 million soldiers. This Apocalypse Empire is really going to kill him!
He originally thought that it would be good if the Apocalypse Empire could send two or three large armies.
But what the hell are these tens of millions of troops? Doesn’t your Apocalypse Empire need to garrison troops to maintain the stability of the country?
"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity!"
However, at this time, Zhang Juzheng, a minister under his command, said: "Since he has revealed his empire, the domestic army is empty."
"Then why don't we unite with the Tang Empire and go straight to the heart of the Apocalypse Empire?"
As long as the Tang Empire participated in the war, he had absolute confidence and certainty to win the war.
Don't talk about tens of millions of troops when the time comes.
Even the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Apocalypse Empire can't afford to make any trouble. He has never been to the Apocalypse Empire, and he doesn't know that the people of the Apocalypse Empire are like dragons!
"Um."
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Send an order to Yu Qian and ask him to persuade Li Shimin to use troops against the Apocalypse Empire!"
As long as Li Shimin joins the war, the Ming Empire will definitely win this battle.
"As commanded."
A eunuch received the order and hurriedly went to find the Jin Yiwei to deliver the order.
"besides."
Suddenly, Zhu Di thought again: "In that case, then arrest all the spies from other countries and bring them to justice!"
My own Ming Dynasty is going to war now, how can I still leave spies from other countries here to detect intelligence?
Originally, after the national war started, each country sent spies to each other. This was a tacit thing.
But now, especially the Hidden Dragon Envoys of the Apocalypse Empire, all must be eliminated!
As a result, a vigorous and vigorous purge campaign began. The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty turned into ghosts in the darkness, and all people who did not have the Ming Dynasty household registration and road guide were included in the scope of the investigation.
Some people of the Ming Dynasty who were instigated to rebel were also picked out one by one at this time.
Zhu Di killed these traitors without mercy.
"Haha, you just realized it now?"
Cheng Mu received the news that dozens of hidden dragon envoys had been killed, and some instigators of rebellion had been beheaded.
He had actually expected this bad news.
Just like Zhu Di and Li Shimin, Cheng Mu also monitors spies sent by other empires in the country all the time.
Clean up, this must be done.
And their biggest gain is the inside information these spies left in other countries.
After all, the imperial guards of the Ming Empire were not immortals, and some people were left out after all. And these people will be the real hidden dragon envoys in the future.
"Your Majesty, this is only Zhu Di's first step."
Xiao He stood behind Cheng Mu and expressed his opinion: "When he knows that my army has been assembled, he will probably make bigger moves."
This is an army of tens of millions, no one can withstand it.
"That's natural."
Cheng Mu knew, but he would not give Zhu Di enough time to prepare.
"Give me orders."
"According to the determined strategy, the army will attack!"
Before setting off for the expedition, he determined the combat strategy with Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others.
Tens of millions of troops were divided into three groups.
Among them, the Yiwang Army, the Feihu Army, and the Beichen Army attacked the Mengding Mansion of the Ming Empire from the west wing.
Four armies, namely the Shenzhou Army, the Shawang Army, the Yaman Army, and the Mo Shuang Army, attacked the Guangnan Prefecture of the Ming Empire from the center.
The Sword Soul Army cooperated with the Kyushu Fleet and the Fierce Shark Army to attack the coast of the Ming Empire.
This time, he wanted Zhu Di to run for his life.
There is only Cheng Mu's personal army, the Tianqi Army. This army has actually been planned for a long time. It is a decisive strategic force.
They need to rush to support Qingzhou Province with all their strength after Li Shimin broke up with him.
Or when Zhu Di was not paying attention, he suddenly appeared and dealt a fatal blow to the Ming Empire.
However, just when Cheng Mu personally led a million Chinese troops to set off towards Guangnan Mansion, a colorful glow came across from the horizon.
This is a colorful rosy belt across the entire world, and the woman on the rosy belt.
It is an immortal who has entered the world, and its beauty is incomparable!
