Seven hundred and twentieth chapters Hebei situation
December, the second year of Dali, at the end of the month.
After the Six-Nation Jinhu War (Five-Nation Alliance and Liguo), Liguo's Northern Expedition and the Great Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition.
Just as the new year is about to enter, the State of Wei officially declares that the whole country will surrender to Li State, and all territories, people, troops, etc. will be merged into Li State...
As soon as the announcement came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
Especially in the Sui Empire, Tang State, Xia State and Northern Yan State, the civil servants and military generals were all in danger, panicked and frightened, and even more restless.
The territory of the old Wei Dynasty, Zhangqiu City, Qi County.
Wei King Li Mi personally led Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Li Wenxiang, Hao Xiaode and many other important ministers of the Wei State to formally submit documents of surrender to the delegation of Li State, represented by Du Fuwei, Duke of Huaigong of Li State Town, and transfer the relevant territory, population, and military strength.
, resources, deployment and many other information.
This was mentioned in the negotiations between Li Guo and Wei Guo, and the surrender ceremony was specially held. Naturally, the purpose was to try our best to expand the influence of Wei Guo's surrender as soon as possible and shock the world.
In the main hall, Du Fuwei, the duke of Huaigang, announced the imperial edict of leaving the king, conferring Li Mi the title of Duke of Wei, the general of Zhenbei, and personally leading the former imperial guards of Wei... Pushan Gongying. Wang Bodang was granted the title of Marquis of Yunying, temporarily.
The deputy commander of the Kamikaze Army and the deputy general of Kamikaze Hou Fengya assisted the Kamikaze Army in attacking the Xia Kingdom. Xu Shiji was granted the title of Marquis of Wenying and ranked in Cetianfu. He temporarily served as the military advisor of the Suppressing Huai Army and assisted the Suppressing Huai Gong in the attack on Xia.
country.
The day after the ceremony, the Li army, which had been prepared for a long time, marched north in large numbers, quickly took over the cities of the old Wei, reorganized the old Wei army, broke up the old Wei army, and organized it into the various legions of the Li army.
January 1st of the third year of Dali, a new year, a new day.
In just a few days, Li Guo probably took over and digested the military affairs of the old Wei Dynasty, and announced an expedition against Xia State. The troops were divided into three groups, with a total number of nearly ten million, and they were known as a tens of millions of troops.
The first route, led by Duke Huai Du Fuwei, crossed the Mother River, went northwest and entered Qinghe County, and was responsible for conquering cities in Hebei, including cities in various places in Hebei in the Tang Dynasty;
The second route, led by Shenfeng Hou Fengya, went north from Beihai County, crossed the Mother River, entered Bohai County, and attacked the core of Xia Kingdom directly.
The third route, led by Wei Guogong Li Mi, went north from Qi County, crossed the Mother River, and entered Pingyuan County, responsible for cutting off the Xia Kingdom's territory.
The three armies, like three sharp blades, cut into the territory of Xia Kingdom and sent troops to all parts of Hebei.
After the Battle of Jinhu, the Xia Kingdom suffered heavy losses and the entire southern invasion army was destroyed. Even Marshal Liu Heitai and the generals from all directions were captured and detained in Jiangdu City, Lidu.
Nowadays, the Xia Kingdom does not have many troops. Among the capable ministers, the more capable ones include Xia King Dou Jiande himself and the famous general Wang Fubao in terms of military affairs, and Song Zhengben and Ling Jing in terms of civil servants, and perhaps the very capable Queen Cao.
With such a force, there is naturally no need to use three routes totaling tens of millions of troops. It would be a bit of a fuss and a waste of resources and troops. The main thing is to gain time from the country and take advantage of the great disaster of the Tang Dynasty to wipe out Hebei, including the territory north of the mother river of the Tang Dynasty.
…
In the southern part of Henan County, Shenyuan Pass among the eight passes of Luoyang.
When the time entered the third year of Dali, the Li Kingdom initially digested the Wei Kingdom and quickly announced an expedition across the Hebei Province to attack the Xia Kingdom. Li Wang Wuxin also led the Li army to attack Henan County where the Eastern Capital was located, and marched to Shenyuan Pass.
At the same time, the Wolong Army led by Emperor Mingdie, the Marquis of Mingxin, also arrived at Dagu Pass, one of the eight passes in Luoyang, in the south of Dongdu; the other army of the Tang Dynasty was heading to Xuanmen Pass, one of the eight passes in the east of Dongdu.
Of course, King Li Wuxin is the Lord of Heaven and must do what he says.
Since they had made an agreement with Li Tang, they naturally would not break the promise. Over the mountains and plains, with overwhelming momentum, the Li army marched into Henan County, but stopped outside various city gates and set up camp, as if they kept their promises and waited.
The posture of the victory at Hangu Pass.
Outside the Shenyuan Pass.
Li Wang Wuxin led the army all the way, and the military camps stretched for more than a hundred miles, endless as far as the eye could see, with evil clouds covering the sky.
The military camp was stationed ten miles away from Shenyuan Pass, but there was no intention or action to attack the pass. There were no scouts or scattered soldiers running around. They just stayed in the military camp.
Li Xiaogong, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty who was guarding Shenyuan Pass, was extremely nervous and alert. After seeing the reaction of the Li Army, he was slightly relieved, but he was even more worried about the battle situation at Hangu Pass.
The middle part of the Lijun military camp.
After Wu Xin arrived at Shenyuan Pass and set up camp, he didn't do much. He seemed to be living in seclusion and rarely showed up. This made many influencers wonder whether King Li was still in the military camp.
"Report to my king! After our army crosses the river, we will win consecutive battles. If there are no accidents, it will take as short as two months or as long as half a year to destroy the Xia Kingdom!"
Xinwu Royal Guards and Sanitation, the central camp where no strangers are allowed to approach. The flower father-in-law is as beautiful as a flower, and it is obvious that he has encountered a great event, and he has come to report.
"The Xia Kingdom's greatest support is the Mother River. If we cannot stop our army on the banks of the Mother River, the country will be destroyed sooner or later. If the three armies of the Xia Army are defeated because of this, then it will really be a waste of Gu's trust!"
Wu Xin calmly signaled to the imperial guard, marked the latest battle situation on the military sand table, and nodded in response without any surprise.
This is also a fact. Although Xia King Dou Jiande was brave and good at fighting, he was popular among the people, and he also had the support of many forces. However, if he did not rely on the dangers of the mother river and the sky, he would not be able to dominate Hebei.
People in the world secretly judged that when the original six kingdoms of Sui, Li, Tang, Wei, Xia and Yan were in power, Xia King Dou Jiande had the weakest overall ability and strength among the six kings.
Not to mention Sui Li, it is undoubtedly the strongest country.
The Tang Dynasty was full of talents, and its family was full of heroes. It even occupied Dongdu, one of the three major capitals, which could be attacked and defended. The king of Tang Li Yuan himself was also good at both civil and military affairs. He was favored by many aristocratic families and sects and had the highest reputation.
The Wei State inherited the legacy of the Wagang Army and took in the heroes of Wagang and Shandong. King Li Mi of Wei himself was also a world-famous great literary cultivator, and he was second to none in terms of governing the country or politics and people's livelihood.
Beiyan is located in the northern border, and King Luo Yi of Northern Yan does not have many top civil servants and generals. However, Beiyan has Yanyun cavalry who have guarded the border for countless years. The people in the territory are even more fierce, and everyone is martial. Just the Beiyan cavalry.
It is enough for Beiyan to dominate and have a foothold in troubled times!
Only Xia Guo...
Relatively speaking, there are not many talents, not rich wealth, not wide territory, and not high reputation.
After careful consideration, apart from occupying the natural barrier of the Mother River, there is really nothing outstanding about the Xia Kingdom. The only exception is the Xia King Dou Jiande, who is a brave and famous general!
It's quite tragic, but it's reality.
Of course, Dou Jiande's ability to dominate in troubled times naturally had his own unique characteristics, and he also subdued countless rebel forces, large and small, in the north and south of his mother's country.
"My king... Concubine Shu (Dou Hongxian) has summoned King Xia. However, King Xia shows no signs of surrender and is quite willing to fight to the end. Please make your decision!"
Seeing that Wu Xin didn't react much, Mr. Hua didn't dare to show too much joy, but he carefully reported the report.
Now even Eunuch Hua knows that what Li Guo needs most is time, but when he encounters a "dumb fool" like Xia Wang Dou Jiande, it is clear that there is no hope and he would rather die than surrender, which is really a headache!
