Chapter 158: The Finale

Time is fleeting, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, the Da Liang Dynasty has been turbulent in various places, and the situation has changed day by day.

In the western region, Chu Ying’s Northern Liang Iron Horse conquered Shu Prefecture in these three years, and Zhuge Liang pacified the state of Ba, taking the entire northwestern region into the hands of Northern Liang.

Subsequently, Chu Ying’s Northern Liang army advanced east from Shuzhou, overthrew Qingzhou, and blocked Yunzhou to death.

Under the huge pressure, coupled with the fact that the Da Liang Dynasty had basically existed in name only, Yunzhou belonged to Northern Liang without bloodshed under the planning of Li Si and others.

Since then, the western part of Daliang, Hezhou, Youzhou, Shuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yunzhou have all been in Beijing. After subduing the five southwestern states, Chu Ying did not continue to advance, but stopped to recuperate.

After all, such a large territory, it still takes a lot of time to digest.

Chu Ying’s side was quiet, but the eastern part of Daliang was still in flames, and even intensified, so that Dong Zhongcai, with the help of Jia Xu, successively captured Hedong, Qizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and other places, and then captured Jinzhou and Zhongzhou, and the army pointed directly at Daliang Jingzhou.

The second prince was attacked by Dong Zhongcai and defeated in Jiangzhou, and the eldest prince finally reacted, seeing Dong Zhongcai’s wolf ambition, and raised troops to subdue Jinzhou and Zhongzhou.

The two sides fought one after another in the land of the two states, and at this time, all people of insight under the sky could see that the Da Liang Dynasty was already crumbling.

Some people began to choose their own Ming Lord, wanting to overthrow the old royal power and usher in the new world, so that the new dynasty could be established in the future and get a piece of the new resource allocation.

Some chose to join Dong Zhongcai’s Liaodong Army, while a large number of talented people chose to move west to serve Chu Ying’s Northern Liang. Therefore, Chu Ying’s talents suddenly increased a lot, plus the Beiliang Academy has cultivated a lot of talents after this period of 977 exhibition.

At this moment, Chu Ying fell into a kind of happy trouble full of talents.

Almost all the officials under his command were changed by Chu Ying, and all of them were replaced by his own subordinates, firmly controlling the territory under his rule.

Don’t see that Chu Ying did not continue to attack the territory, but Bei Liang’s strength was developing at a rapid speed.

On the other side, Dong Zhongcai is far worse in this regard, in Dong Zhongcai’s view, only strong soldiers and horses are the truth, and everything else is false.

And Jia Xu naturally couldn’t give Dong Zhongcai advice to let him firmly control the current territory.

It is nothing to be able to fight, as long as the people do not agree in their hearts, as long as Northern Liang defeats Dong Zhongcai in the future, it will not be difficult to receive.

Because the people’s hearts are not cohesive, on the surface, it seems that Dong Zhongcai occupies several states and has strong strength. But these are all false, but a real illusion.

Not to mention that the Liaodong Iron Horse under Dong Zhongcai is not a good stubble, burning and looting is evil, and sometimes slaughtering several villages is a common thing.

Instead of stopping it, Jia Xu strongly recommended Dong Zhong to do so, for a simple reason, food and wealth.

In Hedong, Qizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places under Dong Zhongcai, almost all the great families and all the princes were killed.

Especially in southern areas such as Yangzhou and Jiangzhou, it can be said that the blood of killing flows like rivers, and the water there is almost all red. According to incomplete statistics, Dong Zhongcai’s Liaodong Iron Horse slaughtered nearly one million people in Jiangnan and other places.

And the looted wealth, that cannot be described as a rich and enemy country.

There were hundreds of ships transporting these treasures alone, and there were countless carriages, which were transported day and night, and it took several months to transport them, and in the fourth year, the battle between Dong Zhongcai and the eldest prince came to an end.

In the end, Dong Zhongcai’s Liaodong Iron Horse won, and hundreds of thousands of iron horses stepped into Jingzhou and began a large-scale burning and looting.

The entire Jingzhou instantly became a purgatory on earth, and the Great Prince hanged himself in the Daliang Palace, completely announcing the fall of the Daliang Dynasty. After Dong Zhongcai attacked the imperial city, he ordered his generals to ride their horses for seven days.

For the next seven days, Dong Zhongcai and the Liaodong soldiers searched for fun in the palace night and night, and every day, the bodies of hundreds of palace concubines and princesses were thrown in the wilderness, and the death was terrible.

Finally, Jia Xu also suggested to Dong Zhongcai that the imperial tomb of Daliang be dug up, and all the treasures in it should be used to fill Dong Zhongcai’s mansion, Dong Zhongcai, and immediately ordered his men to do it.

The tombs of the emperors of Daliang suddenly suffered, all of them were stolen and plundered, and even the bones were dismantled.

Finally, Jia Xu said to Dong Zhongcai that cutting grass must be removed, and all royal bloodlines are the source of disasters and must be eliminated.

Dong Zhongcai accepted it again, so all the royal bloodlines of Daliang, regardless of men, women, and children, were all slaughtered, even if they were collateral relatives.

The entire world, except for Xiao Yajun in Northern Liang, the royal bloodline of Da Liang is almost extinct. When the news spread to the world, everyone was stunned and furious.

People who are loyal to Da Liang naturally don’t need to say much, but many people who don’t care about changing the dynasty also don’t have a good impression of Dong Zhongcai and the Liaodong Army, and can even be said to be extremely disgusted.

Even if the women of the Huo Huo family are counted, they still have to dig the ancestral graves of other people, and finally they have to be the seeds of other families……. It’s simply inhumane!

In this situation of natural anger and resentment, many uprisings broke out in several states where Dong Zhongcai was based.

It’s just a pity that these rebellious peasant armies were not opponents of the Liaodong Iron Horse, and they were quickly swept away, and basically did not even turn over the waves.

Just when Dong Zhongcai was arrogant and lascivious in Jingzhou, Bei Liang, who had been quiet for two or three years, suddenly moved. The million-strong army brazenly went east and swallowed Yanzhou directly, and the powerful army pointed directly at Dong Zhongcai in Jingzhou.

At this time, Dong Zhongcai did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and at this moment, in Dong Zhongcai’s eyes, no one in the world would be his opponent.

However, in just three days, the Northern Liang army directly attacked Jingzhou, and the places it went could be said to be devastated.

The elite Liaodong Iron Horse could not resist the army of Northern Liang at all, whether it was the Tiger and Leopard Horse or the Guanning Iron Horse, all of them pressed the Liaodong Iron Horse and beat them violently.

Not to mention the trapping camp, the iron eagle sharp soldiers, the back army and other fierce troops, plus artillery, and elite armor, it is simply an all-round crush on the Liaodong iron horse.

Artillery, in particular, was accumulated for three years, and when the city was attacked, it was called a cannon fire.

There was even a case of flattening an entire small city with artillery fire in Jingzhou, which can be described as a violent earthquake in the world, which is unbelievable. At this moment, it finally scared Dong Zhongcai awake.

But at this time, it was obviously slow, and the Northern Liang Iron Rider had already rushed into Jingzhou, and the change of owners in Jingzhou was already a sure thing. Dong Zhongcai reluctantly retreated to Jinzhou, preparing to rectify the soldiers and horses, and have a good fight with Chu Ying’s Northern Liang.

August, autumn.

The 500,000-strong army of Northern Liang and the 700,000-strong army of eastern Liaoning fought in the Li River in Jingzhou, and the two sides fought bloody battles for a whole month, and the corpses in the Li River covered the surface of the river, and the entire river was bright red.

The navy led by Zhou Yu went all the way east along Shuzhou from Baguo, along the Cangjiang River, and attacked Weizhou, Yizhou, and Jiangzhou with lightning speed, cutting the north and south regions from the south.

Huo Qubing and Zhao Yun’s Stepping White Army and Xin Qiqi’s Flying Tiger Army broke into Liaodong from Northern Liang, and then went south to attack Qizhou. And when these news reached Dong Zhongcai’s ears, it directly scared him into a cold sweat.

Therefore, Dong Zhongcai immediately collected his troops and retreated and began to retreat in the direction of Xuzhou, otherwise at night, he was estimated to be wrapped in dumplings.

The two sides fought for a year.

This is not that the Northern Liang army is not good, but Dong Zhongcai’s strength itself is not weak, plus while fighting, Chu Ying’s side also has to send people to guard various places and govern the people’s livelihood.

In addition, the Yue country in the south seems to have seen the chaos in the world and has begun to invade the border, intending to bite a piece of meat. The ambition of the wolf son can be described as obvious.

Chu Ying had no choice but to send Meng Tian and the Zhenshan army, the Tianshan army and the Huwei army to the south to suppress the invasion of the Yue state. These things are quite time-consuming, and Chu Ying is so busy all day that she often can’t sleep late at night.

The last year of the girder, April.

Northern Liang and Liaodong fought a decisive battle in the Hedong Plain, with a total of nearly two million troops invested by both sides, and the thousands of miles of plain killed were rivers of blood and mountains of bones.

This is a meat grinder-like war, Rao is the strong soldiers on the Northern Liang side, and they can’t survive in this fight. Even invincible fierce generals such as Xu Chu and Li Cunxiao suffered some injuries, and many soldiers fought to death. A battle, fought for nearly three days and three nights, almost did not stop.

In such a war, stratagem has no effect, compared to hard power, dignified hand-to-hand combat. In the end, the war came to a successful end until Li Cunxiao and others rushed a hundred miles and killed Dong Zhongcai.

Since then, Chu Ying has taken Xuzhou, Hedong, Yangzhou and other places, except that Liaodong has not been completely recovered, it can already be said that the world is in the pocket.

Same.

Chu Ying declared himself emperor in Shangjing, established Jiuding, and established the Great Xia Dynasty. This year is also known as the “First Year of Shenwu”.

Shenwu 2nd year, summer.

Liaodong was reconquered, and the father of Emperor Shenwu Chu Ying, Chu Yanxun, the former king of Northern Liang, died of illness in Zhenbei Prefecture at the age of fifty-two.

In the third year of Shenwu, Meng Tian and others led an army to conquer the Kingdom of Yue and expand the territory of Daxia again, and Daxia also became the most extensive dynasty in history.

The old dynasty has sunk, and the new empire is writing that new legend… [End of book].
