Wu Xin took Zhai Rang and other Wagang heroes, a total of about 8,000 people, and had returned to Jiangdu for many days.
Li Guo also had several civil servants such as Jia Xiong and Wang Ruxin, Zhai Rang, Zhai Mohou, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin and other fierce generals on the battlefield, as well as six to seven thousand elite soldiers.
Wu Xin did not grant a title to Zhai, but only granted him a mansion in Jiangdu City and the title of Zhendong General of the third rank. Jia Xiong and Wang Ru enveloped Cao Shenjun of the fourth rank, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin and Zhai Mohou.
As a fourth-grade leading general, he is given sole command of an army.
Of course, except for the nearly 7,000 elite soldiers they brought from Wagang, the rest of the soldiers needed to be recruited and trained by themselves.
In the same month, the newly established Great Demon Kingdom was declared to be disintegrated, and was succeeded by Wei Gong Li Mi. The country's name was changed to... Wei.
Li Mi was the king of Wei, continuing the system of three ministers and nine ministers. Li Wenxiang was the Taiwei, Xu Shiji was the prime minister, Zu Junyan was the censor, and Wang Bodang was the mighty general, regrouping and intimidating all directions.
At this point, Cheng Yaojin, the once talked about Great Demon King of the Great Demon Kingdom, only served as the leader of the country for more than a month before he escaped from the Great Demon Kingdom and threw himself under the tent of Li Guo in the south, which caused a joke for a while.
After King Wuxin of Li led his troops back to Lidu, he did not work diligently to train his army, and once again announced his seclusion, leaving all the civil and military officials of Li State quite speechless.
Especially Cheng Yaojin, who often pretends to sigh and sigh, thinking that he is just a ****, why is Li Guo united as one, but his big demon kingdom is in chaos.
Of course, both of them seem to be hand-off shopkeepers, but their meanings are completely different. Li Guo's civil and military officials were basically recruited by Wu Xin himself, and Wu Xin himself controlled several elite main forces, which was naturally far beyond the comparison of Cheng Yaojin.
…
In the south of the country, Dongyang County.
From Xuancheng County in the southernmost part of the country, to the south is Xin'an County, to the south is Sui'an County, and to the south is Dongyang County. And to the south of Dongyang County is Yongjia County, which is the southernmost area adjacent to the ocean.
As long as Li Guo can capture Dongyang County and Yongjia County, it will be able to occupy the southeastern part of the mainland. Then it will be adjacent to the vast ocean, and it will be safe to start the westward or northern expedition!
Because this world is vast and vast, maritime trade is not developed, resulting in coastal areas that are not prosperous. Therefore, the south is not very developed, is relatively remote and desolate, and has many mountains, forests, and waterlands. It can be described as barren and barren, and is basically occupied by southern barbarians or various weird tribes.
Duke Wolong and the governor of Xuancheng County, Emperor Long, lived up to everyone's expectations and led the barbarians to settle in Xuancheng County. Soon after, he led his army south to open up territory.
In just over two months, they successively captured Xin'an County, Sui'an County and part of Shehang County, reached the Longqiu Mountains in the middle of Dongyang County, and reached the city gate of Dongyang County.
All the way south, the conquest army was basically barbarian warriors. It could not be said that they conquered cities and territories without bloodshed, but there was no war involving more than 200,000 people. There were only sporadic small battles, mainly due to the diplomatic role of the ancient barbarian emperors.
Since ancient times, the Imperial Clan has been the main line of the barbarians. Now that the Imperial Clan has led its troops south, they are basically surrendering to everyone, especially the small and medium-sized tribes. Even though some would rather die than surrender, they cannot stop the barbarian army.
This is the importance of names.
Unfortunately, things are changing and people's hearts are unpredictable.
The Nanman tribes had been dominant in the south for many years. Although they were recognized as subjects of the Sui Empire during the Sui Empire, they only paid tribute every year. They listened to the instructions but not the propaganda. They could be called local emperors.
Now the Sui Dynasty is weak, the world is in chaos, and the Southern Barbarian tribes also have ambitions. It would be great without the Northern Expedition. How can they surrender?!
There are hundreds of barbarian tribes all over the south, and the seven tribes are the most powerful, with a total of one barbarian king and six barbarian kings.
The seven major tribes are: Wind Tribe, Thunder Tribe, Fire Tribe, Water Tribe, Gu Tribe, Beast Tribe, and Feather Tribe. They are all ancient forces with a long history. Each tribe has more than ten million people and more than one million soldiers.
, each basically occupied one county, which was also a sign of submission to the Sui Empire and recognized the naming and canonization of their territories by the Sui Empire.
Each generation of barbarian emperors was born from the seven major tribes, and the remaining six tribes were barbarian kings, who jointly respected the barbarian emperor.
Dongyang County is the territory of the Fire Department and is controlled by the Zhu Rong clan. This generation of the Barbarian King of the Fire Department is also called the Fire King.
When the Imperial Clan went south, the Southern Barbarian tribes argued countless times over whether to submit to the Imperial Clan. Until Emperor Long led his army to Dongyang County, there was still no result. This was one of the main reasons why Emperor Long's army was so successful before.
Including the Fire Tribe, the seven major tribes of the Southern Barbarians, nearly half of them are still in favor of returning to the ancient barbarians and recognizing the Imperial Clan, so their resistance is no longer strong!
However, Fire King Zhu Yanyan was used to being the emperor of the earth, so he naturally did not want to be a subject. He was the main fighting faction, and the two sides faced off in Dongyang County.
In addition, the Fire King also asked for help from the large tribes such as the Water and Gu tribes, and received a total of about three million reinforcements. His momentum was soaring into the sky, and his troops were numerous.
Of the seven major tribes of the Southern Barbarians, only the Water Tribe and the Gu Tribe came to aid. One can imagine the fierce conflicts within the Southern Barbarians.
Of the southern counties, Jian'an County and Ngee'an County are the largest, and they are in the hands of the Water Department and Gu Department respectively. This generation of the Southern Barbarian Emperor comes from the Gu Department. They will support Dongyang County, which is also Jian'an County, Ngee'an County and Dongyang County.
The main reason is that the counties are adjacent.
Their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. If Dongyang County falls, it will be their turn!
Looking at Dongyang County City from a distance, the flags are like a forest, and the evil spirit is rising into the sky.
After the southern expedition barbarian army arrived at the city, they quickly set up camp without launching an attack on the city, and the two sides began to confront each other.
"Young Master! The Fire King has received support from the Water and Gu tribes. According to my king's wish, we cannot attack by force, otherwise our army will suffer heavy casualties, especially the Gu tribe, which must be guarded against!"
When Emperor Wolong arrived, Elder Di Zhen, who served as the vanguard commander of the barbarian army in the southern expedition, reminded Emperor Long with a headache.
It is worth mentioning that according to the oldest ancient barbarian theory, the imperial clan was originally a super tribe alongside the seven southern barbarians, called the "war department". They were brave and good at fighting until they had been in charge of the ancient barbarians for many years.
The name of the god (the ancient god Dijiang), took Emperor as his surname, and renamed the Imperial clan!
Therefore, the various tribes of barbarians should be specifically called the eight tribes of barbarians.
However, among the eight barbarian tribes, the most brave and skilled, the most powerful and prosperous is the War tribe, and the most mysterious is the Gu tribe.
The population of the Gu tribe is not large, and there are only a few hundred thousand soldiers coming to the rescue this time, which is far inferior to the Ministry of Fire and the Ministry of Water. However, war is not just about numbers, and the methods of the Gu tribe are hard to guard against. According to normal standards, a hundred thousand warriors from the Gu tribe
It can be worth at least a million regular troops, or even millions or tens of millions.
If Dongyang County defends the city and the southern barbarian army attacks, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Are they refusing to return?" Di Long asked with a rather ugly expression.
Since the southern expedition, it has been quite smooth. If it weren't for the difficult mountains and harsh waters, the march was difficult. According to Dilong's expectation, more than two months would be enough to reach the shores of the Endless Sea.
"They recognize our clan, but they only respect our clan and don't recognize Li Guo!"
Elder Di Zhen observed the crowd around him and responded in a lowered voice. After a pause, he changed his voice to continue:
"The King of Fire sent a message that if our clan is willing to leave the country, they are willing to return. Not only will they give up their territory for our clan to live in peace, but they will also fully help our clan go north and take back our ancient barbarian country!" (To be continued.)
