326 How do we divide it up?(1/2)
During the past two years, Ye Xuan had almost no contact with the Eastern Paradise Province, but he often had letters with Princess Qingxuan.
I have to say that Ye Xuan regained the feeling he used to be a pen pal.
As a person who often travels around the Internet, Ye Xuan knows one by one and another, which makes Princess Qingxuan "get deeper and deeper".
If it weren't for being confined to the Grand Duke of Dongping and having sent a special person to guard it, maybe he would have already secretly ran to Heishui City like before.
However, this time Princess Qingxuan came here openly, representing the attitude of the Eastern Paradise Province in some ways, and obviously wanted to end the cold war between the two sides.
After the two sides met, they did not feel as warm as they were in the letter. Instead, they had the taste of a gentleman's friendship as light as water.
"Is the princess here for business or private matters?" Ye Xuan, as the master, asked first.
"What about official affairs and private affairs?" Princess Qingxuan asked back.
"Official affairs are done in public, and private affairs are done in private." Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
"The princess is still in spirit, more charming than when she met last time."
"Talk the important matter first!" Princess Qingxuan calmed her mind with the help of drinking tea. She did not forget the task she came here this time. If the relationship between the two parties was not broken, the relationship between her and Ye Xuan would stop.
"Grandpa...hehe, Grandpa Dongping hopes that we can restore our original relationship."
"Yes!" Ye Xuan responded cheerfully.
"Hmm?" Princess Qingxuan looked at Ye Xuan in surprise, "You agreed so easily?"
"You are all here, how could I refuse?" Ye Xuan said teasingly.
"Be serious, now you talk about serious things!" Princess Qingxuan felt warm in her heart, but she could not show it on her face. The conversation now must be serious.
"If I really want to fall out with the Eastern Paradise Province, how could I not prohibit caravans from happening between the two sides?"
Ye Xuan said frankly: "Actually, in the past two years, except for the lack of official orders, nothing else has changed, right?"
"It's true." Lin Qingxuan has always been smart, but she usually focuses on literature. As Ye Xuan said, it is not difficult to know with a little attention.
It was precisely because of this that Da Gong of Dongping and others who knew Lin Qingxuan’s trip today was used as a bridge for re-communication between the two sides.
"I won't talk about the past. If the Grand Duke of Dongping intends to continue to cooperate in the future, the Heishui City will welcome you."
Ye Xuan expressed his attitude and then smiled calmly: "The business is over, can we talk about private matters?"
"Not yet!" Lin Qingxuan turned her head and looked at one side. Ye Xuan's eyes really made her heart beat faster, and she immediately turned the topic to another side.
"Grandpa asked me to ask you, are you really defeating the barbarians?"
"I believe this matter has been known to everyone in the world, how can it be false?"
Ye Xuan said domineeringly: "Not only did I defeat the barbarians, but now my troops are chasing the barbarians around the north."
"The huge land that has been built has been planted with several new crops and large amounts of spices. It can be harvested in a year or two, which is definitely a large amount of income."
"Aren't you afraid that the barbarians will make a comeback and then want you to take revenge?" Princess Qingxuan, like most people, only knew that Ye Xuan defeated the barbarians, and did not know how miserable the barbarians were.
"Welcome anytime." Ye Xuan curled his lips slightly and sneered disapprovingly: "I'm afraid that the barbarians no longer have the courage, but even if they really make a comeback, it's impossible without decades."
"You are the only one who is great." Princess Qingxuan looked at Ye Xuan's confident look and her eyes were blurred, but she quickly woke up. She was embarrassed and glared at the other party.
"Thank you for the praise!" Ye Xuan said confidently.
"My grandfather also said something. I'll ask if you are interested in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Princess Qingxuan said.
"Why, Grand Duke Dongping wants to build the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Wei Suo, who was under Ye Xuan, was still lurking in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has been constantly transmitting the news back for two years. He still has a certain understanding of the situation there.
After two years of cultivation and rest, the Great Zhou Dynasty finally recovered from the Great Famine, but it was still far from returning to its previous strength!
This great famine alone accounted for one-third of the original population of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is no need to say anything else. How could it be a miserable word?
The serious population loss also led to a lot of reduction in the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, it was backward in weapons and equipment. Now in the eyes of the Grand Duke of Dongping, it was simply a fat piece of meat on a chopping board.
However, last time he almost fell into the "pit", the Grand Duke Dongping did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all, and felt that he could not eat this piece of fat, so he asked Ye Xuan for invitation, of course, through the bridge of Princess Qingxuan.
"If you are willing to have a long talk with me tonight, you can go to the Great Zhou Dynasty for a walk." Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?"
Princess Qingxuan's hands placed on the handrail subconsciously grabbed them tightly, and a shy blush appeared on her pretty face. She used to just feel it in letters, but now her face-to-face experience is countless times stronger.
"Talk about ideals, life, and our future?" Ye Xuan said with a smile, and suddenly his face turned calm and he said calmly.
"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. This kind of thing must be about being in love with one's own will, and it's boring to force something."
"As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the Grand Duke asked you to come, I must think the time has come, and I just happened to want to go there."
"Hmph, if you want to go, what does it have to do with me?" Princess Qingxuan stood up in anger and walked outside. When she was approaching the door of the hall, she suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Xuan with a slight look.
"See you tonight, the old place will never end!"
Leaving this sentence, Princess Qingxuan hurried away as if the frightened little deer had left.
Ye Xuan smiled and touched his chin, feeling a little unfulfilled.
It seems that my knowledge in my hometown is not limited to talking about it on paper. It has been successfully applied to actual combat and can successfully get out of the army.
"Naza, do you want to be together tonight?"
“…”
...
One month later, Ye Xuan, in accordance with the agreement with the Grand Duke of Dongping, raised an army from Wangluo City, focusing on the Iron Triangle Alliance, and the Blood Cavalry Guard followed the army, aiming directly at Luoyi City, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Grand Duke of Dongping raised 200,000 troops, and rushed from the west of the Great Zhou Dynasty, following the previous offensive route.
One is Ye Xuan, who defeated the barbarians, and the other is the Grand Duke of Dongping, the first force of the Great Shang Dynasty. The cooperation between the two sides is definitely a powerful alliance.
They launched an attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty together, and the world looked at it.
...
Compared with the slow speed of the Dongping Grand Duke troops' advancement, the road led by Mr. Wu himself was unstoppable and unimpeded.
In addition to the fact that the weapons and equipment far exceed that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing is that there is an internal force.
Weisuo!
Ye Xuan originally prepared a card himself to save Mr. Wu, but because things changed, Wei Suo was eventually assigned to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Today, Weisuo was a famous charity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially after the Great Famine, his reputation among the people was at its peak.
As soon as Mr. Wu's troops approached, Wei Suo's secretly arranged personnel began to cooperate, and various arguments that were not conducive to the Great Zhou Dynasty began to rise.
"Look at it carefully, now the powerful troops are gathered in the imperial city. As our existing soldiers cannot stop the other party at all. If we resist hard, we will inevitably anger the other party. At that time..."
"Have you heard of Ye Xuan? I have heard of it. It is said that recently, this man's troops defeated the barbarians and killed them so that they threw away their armor and fled in sight."
"Even such a powerful barbarian cavalry is not an opponent, let alone us? Now even the city lord is only concerned about running away, so we should leave a way out for ourselves."
"I heard that Ye Xuan is not a cruel person..."
Behind these remarks, coupled with the great figures who are usually superior in the eyes of the people, choose to escape immediately, and ignore other aspects at all. The people are naturally extremely disappointed, and the first thing they think about is to survive.
So, Mr. Wu walked all the way to the southeast, and there were many cities that took the initiative to open the city and surrender, and traces of Weisuo's activities could be seen from it.
Almost all small or medium-sized cities surrendered voluntarily, and only a small part chose to resist. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on for half a day and were crushed by Mr. Wu's troops.
On the road to Luoyi City, Mr. Wu's troops will pass through three provinces, with no less than twenty cities during this period.
It is completely different from those small and medium-sized cities. These larger cities have a large number of troops stationed. Although they are not as many as the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty, each of them has at least 20,000 troops.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been ranked first so far.
Unfortunately, they are facing the troops under Ye Xuan.
The troops led by Mr. Wu are centered on the Iron Triangle Alliance. After two years of expansion, there are currently 50,000 people, of which the main combat power accounts for 90% of the number.
This unit was named Xuanwu Army by Ye Xuan.
Although the Xuanwu Army is not Ye Xuan's direct line like the Black Water Army, it has also obtained a lot of good things because of Mr. Wu, including a militia team of 1,000 people.
As for siege, Ye Xuan's troops no longer continue to use traditional siege equipment, but use dragon cannons.
Not many, one is enough.
As long as you have enough shells and aim the muzzle directly at the city gate, basically no more than five, you can destroy the city gate like a destruction.
Before, a team of 1,000 people suppressed the city with strong firepower, and the other soldiers rushed into the city under the charge.
Although the tactics are very simple, it fully exerts the effect of a firearm, greatly reducing the losses of the Xuanwu Army in the siege.
Whenever the soldiers guarding the Xuanwu Army's muskets were encountered, they were all confused. Obviously, the things they saw were far beyond their understanding.
So, the atmosphere of fear spread and blew towards Luoyi City, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in an instant everyone was shocked.
Although I learned some situations from the general who retreated from the front, I never saw anything I had ever seen before, even if I had a rich imagination, I could not have a clue.
The entire Luoyi City was already in panic.
No one expected that things would be so unexpected.
When Luoyi City learned about the enemy's invasion, it was inevitable that people with knowledge would analyze it.
Along the way was the 200,000 army of the Grand Duke of Dongping, and a 50,000 army of Ye Xuan, Heishui City.
