Become a feudal king from today

"A million troops were wiped out in ashes. If the powerful tribesmen and Westerners in Bacheng know about it, their expressions will definitely be wonderful. It's a pity that the general will not be able to see it with his own eyes." Chang Wei cast his eyes on Bacheng and teased.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Xu laughed, "No matter what their expressions are now, I will definitely make them cry in the end."

For the sake of one's own selfish interests, he does not hesitate to introduce foreign enemies, causing the loss of life. This is a traitor to the country.

Only killing can relieve the hatred in his heart.

After inspecting Changcheng, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei returned to the government office.

The soldiers tidied up the place and it became a wartime command room.

Taking Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou and destroying the million-strong army of powerful tribes at the same time was indeed a staged victory.

However, it is still far from complete victory.

Therefore, the two immediately discussed the next action.

"Shacheng goes south to Guizhou, and then detours to Yunzhou to attack Bazhou. This road is too dangerous, and it takes a big circle. We have to defeat the Nanping army in Yunzhou before we can reach Bazhou. This will waste too much time. ." Zhao Xu said.

Unlike contemporary times, the natural environment in ancient times was very good.

This resulted in dense forests and swamps everywhere, and wild beasts and poisonous insects in the mountains.

There is even miasma in some places.

Guizhou and Yunzhou have the most such places.

The most important thing is that after this circle, the royal army will have to walk more than three thousand miles.

During this period, I am afraid that the non-combat casualties caused by the natural environment will be more than those killed in the war.

Therefore, this road must not be taken.

In this way, there are only two paths left.

One is to go upstream along the Yangtze River. This route is the most direct, but also the most dangerous.

Because the contemporary famous Three Gorges is located in the section from Xiangzhou to Bazhou.

It can be said that the mountain is so steep that the apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying.

As long as a few cannons are mounted at strategic points, the ships below will only be beaten.

You can give this path a try, but you can’t force it.

Then the only way they have left is to enter Yizhou from Jiameng Pass, and then attack Bacheng from Yizhou.

Yizhou is bounded by a vast plain, and is separated from Bacheng by only a few mountains to the west.

Just get through the mountain pass and you can reach Bacheng directly.

Furthermore, Yizhou is also the fulcrum to pry open Yunzhou.

Enter Yunzhou from Yizhou.

Of course, there is another very important point, which is to capture the last grain-producing area of ​​Dasong and cut off the grain supply in Bazhou.

After that, even if his attack on Bacheng failed, he would only need to capture Yunzhou and surround Bacheng until his supplies were exhausted.

However, he believed that it would not come to this point.

The victories in Jiangxia and Changcheng not only gave him, but also the royal army, from generals to soldiers, a clearer understanding of the current strength of the royal army.

Make them more confident.

It may not be that difficult for them to penetrate Yizhou and capture Bazhou and Yunzhou.

"So, for the current plan, we only need to leave 10,000 people to guard Shacheng and Changcheng. The rest will cross the river and go north, bypass Jiameng Pass, and capture Yizhou with the Qin army." Zhao Xu said.

As for attacking Bazhou upstream from Jiujiang, he planned to dispatch some Marines to try.

Different from the training of the Royal Army, there is one item in the daily training of Marine Corps soldiers that focuses on training.

This is water-based.

In the water, Marines are as nimble as fish.

Even if the warship sinks, their chance of survival is higher than that of the royal soldiers.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded.

Including 10,000 people who stayed in the three southeastern states, and 10,000 people who had gone to Yuezhou and Guizhou.

They left thirty thousand people in Jiangnan.

These 30,000 people are enough to deal with any emergency.

The two were talking when a soldier came in and handed a letter to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu opened the letter, glanced at it, and smiled.

This letter was from Wang Chong. In the letter, Wang Chong gave him a surprise.

It turned out that at the same time that the war south started, Li Wei, who was in charge of electrical experiments, built the first generator.

After that, he built the electrical transformer according to the drawings and with the cooperation of the corresponding workshops.

Immediately, they will conduct thermal power generation tests.

In the letter, Wang Chong also asked him whether he wanted to participate in person.

Zhao Xu naturally wanted to participate in this matter.

After all, this is a historic event.

Although this is just an experiment in thermal power generation, the door to the second industrial revolution and the electric revolution has been pried open.

From then on, Dasong will achieve the goal of surpassing the Western Region in industry.

"My king is going back. After you deal with the prisoners, you can lead your troops to Jiameng Pass. I will join you then," Zhao Xu said.

There were too many prisoners captured this time, and it took a lot of effort to deal with them.

Otherwise, these people plan to cause trouble.

In the battle between Qin and Zhao, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in a trap, not because Bai Qi was cruel.

But because Bai Qi, an excellent general, knew very well that keeping these prisoners and feeding them would be a heavy burden on logistics.

Regardless of them, these unfed young men could rebel in the rear at any time, so we simply killed them.

However, he naturally does not need to learn Bai Qi's method.

First, after the summer harvest, there will be enough food and grass in Jiangnan.

Secondly, killing so many young men would be Da Song’s loss.

At that time, Qin only had to face the six countries and did not need to consider threats from outside the Central Plains, so it could naturally do this.

But what he wants is to try his best to retain Da Song's strength while fighting.

Therefore, when Chang Wei disposed of these prisoners and then headed north to Jiameng Pass, he basically had a clear plan for the next step in power development.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu took a steamship back to Yanzhou the next day.

In three days, he returned to Yancheng.

At this time, the war between Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou also spread to Bacheng.

Hearing the news, Liang Kai felt like a thunderbolt sounded in his head. He was stunned for a cup of tea, and then burst into tears.

In the palace, whether it was Luther, Brooke, Han Zheng, Wang Zian, or Xie Duan, their faces were all earthy, like bean sprouts that had been wilted in the sun.

Especially Han Zheng, Wang Zi'an and Xie Duan.

Originally, they were going to Changcheng to supervise the battle. The three of them went to Shacheng from the mountain path, and then from Shacheng to Changcheng.

But I didn't expect to learn about the fall of Shacheng halfway.

Feeling that something was wrong, they immediately returned to Bacheng.

But in less than half a month, their millions of troops were gone.

This means that only a small Bazhou is left in Wu State.

"Father!" At this moment, Liang Kai's crying suddenly stopped, he fell from the chair and passed out from crying.

When Liang Feng saw this, he immediately rushed forward.

Others also gathered around, fanning people and pinching people.

After a long time, Liang Kaiyou woke up, looked at everyone, and said sadly: "It's over, it's all over, we have nothing, we can only stay in this little Bazhou and wait to die."
