Hao Cheng ran to the city of Xuyi and worshiped the generals. He then picked up Min Ci's armor and said the beginning and end of the matter. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard about it. Hao Cheng's move could be said to have killed Xuyi, broken its support, and avenged Qi Hui's death.

After a banquet, the troops cheered up their spirits and once again ordered their troops to attack Xuyi. Xuyi had no capable general and was attacked by Chang's army for two consecutive days. On the morning of the third day, Chang's army broke through the city and entered.

Since then, all the six towns of Xuguo, except for Weiguo, were taken down by the Chang army. Bo Yan personally rewarded the three armies and guarded the cities with various parts to train.

The Chang Army sent soldiers and yamen runners to various townships to collect food and fodder. The army on the south route was less than a thousand miles away from the Chang Army. The general of the Chang Army was very skilled and had many Yi Ren generals under his command. He was conquered along the way and was expected to reach Xu Di within half a month.

Even though Xu is located in Zhongzhen, Zhongyuan, with a large population of cities and hundreds of thousands of people, he can collect 200,000 dan of food and grass in half a month, which is still a huge pressure for Changjun.

Fortunately, all the cities were ruled by nobles and powerful people at this time, and they were the largest landlords. Chang Jun broke the city and plundered many powerful people in the old days. The tribes combined to plunder tens of thousands of tantares of food and grass.

As long as you collect the fertile land and property of the village's big family, and then exchange the fertile land with Guizhou heads for grain according to the number of mu, it will not be a problem to impose tens of thousands more.

There are also old grain and millet plants in each warehouse in Xuyi. If the grain and grass are mixed in this way, it should be able to raise 200,000 dan.

When the Chang Army was busy harvesting grain and seizing land and destroying the big families in the village, the rest of the Shang army also won consecutive battles.

The Xia Dynasty's army rushed to break through like paper. The eastern army was led by Zhang Jia, and the troops were divided into several units to completely wipe out Qingzhou, Shandong, and the Zhichang army took the Xu Kingdom for a few days. In early August, it attacked the Central Plains and is now sweeping across the northern part of Jizhou and Youyan tribes.

Seeing that the world was full of war, all the troops were defeated in succession, and the city was damaged and the territory was lost. Half of the territory of the world had been lost in months. The court was in a state of turmoil and had to use its trump card.

By mid-July, the emperor appointed the Grand Tutor Wu Luan as the Grand Marshal of the Five Passes at Xiatai. He went to Guandong to set up a thousand-mile defense line and commanded the five passes including Lintong Pass, Tongguan, Chuanyun Pass, Jiepai Pass, and Sishui Pass, and vowed to block the Shang army from outside the pass.

The emperor sent the Grand Tutor to guard the Five Passes and felt that it was still unsafe. In the early August, he summoned him at the Xia Palace and 200,000 Di cavalrymen who called Jiuyi to control the Xian horse and entered the pass. The emperor and the emperor spent a lot of money, hollowed out the treasury and gave Jiuyi a good uniform and good bow to the Central Plains, and to prepare for war in Tiaoshan, Jinzhou, Hedong. This was the emperor's last trump card.

Cheng Tang in the middle road went west along the Yellow River and headed north. Prime Minister Yi Yinzhi made a few appearances and moved the princes on both sides of the river. By the end of July, he took Yu Yun. Only 50,000 yuan of the former army had already taken over Lintong, Tongguan, and Chuanyun Pass, and was blocked by Wu Luan under Jiepai Pass.

By August 12, early in the morning, all the generals and officers of the Chang Army were led by Changhou to welcome the Hou at the east gate of Xuyi. Nearly 100,000 troops from the south ended at Xudi. Han Zheng personally led the generals under his command to greet the generals of the Chang Army. Ji Boyan arranged a large army to travel west of the city. The Chang army had prepared a tent in the west and built a building half a month in advance.

He led Han Zheng and other generals along the way to the city's central plains as Xu Junhou's mansion. When Han Zheng bowed his sleeves and sat on the upper head, Ji Yu sat on the left as the military advisor of the South Road, and Ji Bo Yan Zhengyin sat on the right first.

Dozens of generals and nearly a hundred lieutenants filled the hall. After everyone greeted each other, Han Zheng took the lead in praise.

"Chang Hou is a really good general. He will pacify the south of Shannan in three days and pacify the important town of Xu State in half a month. He will also prepare 200,000 tents of food and grass for our army within a month. In this case, Bo Yan should be the first to be the southern route of our country. Fortunately, all the generals under Kuchang Hou dare to fight. They have their merits along the way, and the leader of the alliance also has rewards..."

When everyone heard this, they bowed and praised him for not being able to say he was suffering, because they were all good at the commander and the leader.

Han Zheng was born with a burly and burly nodded, with five long beards and three feet to his chest, a purple face, and a big red cloak wearing a tassel, a powerful and domineering cloak, looking like a god-like general.

Seeing that everyone was ruthless and complimented by him, Han Zheng shook his head and said, "The leader of the alliance has issued an order: All the troops will meet at the Jiepai at the end of August. After breaking through the five passes, he will start a decisive battle with Baoxia..."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Ji Yu shouted loudly, "The army in the middle of the Shang Hou is so fast, we can't fall behind. We just wait for the three armies to join forces to break through the Jiepai, and the second pass of the Sishui Pass will fight the Xia army to the decisive battle. The great cause of attacking Xia will be fully accomplished."

Han Zheng nodded in agreement, and said with some regrets, "It is true, but the Chu Jiang clan is incompetent and is actually blocked by the three triton clans in Bazhou. Otherwise, the strange soldiers would be able to penetrate Yangqu directly, so as to achieve great achievements."

Ji Boyan shook his head, "Bazhou is full of mountains and roads are narrow and difficult to move. The Chu River is crisscrossing in the south, all relying on the benefits of the Zhou army. However, when he attacked the Santong clan, the Zhou army could only reach the Yu River. A few days ago, he heard that the Chu army was ambushed by the wise men of the Wu Gong of the Santong clan in Langzhong. The Chu army was wearing light ivy armor, and tens of thousands of soldiers were damaged in one battle. Even the Chu army commander almost turned in, and only hundreds of remaining soldiers fled. It was a great defeat..."

Ji Yu's expression moved, and Chen Ning responded for a moment, "And I heard that the Chu army was in a place of victory in Guanzhong. Even if the Chu army captured Sandu, there was no way to go north to Langzhong. Jianmen Pass, Dasan Pass, and Qingniwan were all under heavy troops. Yizhou was surrounded by cliffs and roads were difficult to move since ancient times. Shang Hou's plan to let the Chu army attack Xia was abolished."

Han Zheng changed the topic and said, "I don't know where the 200,000 dan of food and grass are. Our army depends entirely on this supply, but we must keep it well, so don't get rid of the moisture or get stuck in Mars."

Ji Boyan looked at Ji Yu with a puzzled look. Seeing that Ji Boyan did not dare to speak, Ji Yu sighed softly and said, "The food and grass are all stored in the four warehouses, dry and cool. He sent heavy troops to guard them. It is not a surprise that there is any mistake, but... it's just that the time is too short. We have only received more than 100,000 dan of food and fodder..."

All the generals of the Chang Army were ready to be scolded, but Han Zheng looked at Ji Yu, the military advisor of the South Road with a complicated expression. In the end, he gave Ji Yu a face and nodded and praised him.

"You wait until I'm satisfied. I said that 200,000 is just a false report. Although you have a great city, you have to conquer the city in half a month and collect food and fodder in half a month. How can you be? I feel relieved if you can collect tens of thousands of burdens. I don't want you to be so loyal to your duties. In half a month, you actually collect 100,000 burdens of grain in half a month. Good... good... good."

Ji Boyan felt a little relieved and hesitated, "Then...then this is not enough for the soldiers to drive out."

Han Zheng waved his hand and said, "No obstacle... I attacked Zheng and Luo countries, and got tens of thousands of tantares of grain in Mianchi. In the future, the Allied forces will escort grain over, not to mention that we have to station troops in Xu Country for half a month and have time to collect grain."

Mu Chou heard the words in the next chapter and said with some confusion, "The last general dared to ask the general, "Are our army going to set out immediately and join forces with the Shang Hou to break through the five passes?"

Han Zheng laughed and said, "My army and horses under my command are nearly 100,000, and only 30% of them are wearing armor. They are temporarily recruiting the princes and men. Tens of thousands of them will be combined for a while when they are in front of you."

The generals were relieved. It was indeed true. They knew the root of the matter. The South Road was known as a 500,000 army. In fact, all the princes of the two Huai and Jishui could not gather so many soldiers. Even if they wanted to conquer so many strong men, they would also drain the male men under the princes.

In fact, the Southern Army had less than 100,000 soldiers, and the Chang Army in front was the main army. Its two powerful countries in Henan, two powerful countries in Huainan, and all the elite troops of Changyi, who were once the overlord of the Jishui River, gathered nearly 50,000 land and water troops.

In the back of the southern road, it is said that the army is actually just the soldiers of the Fangfeng clan and the Huai and Si princes. Although the territory of the southern princes is large, they are few in number, and their armor is not as smelting as that of the Central Plains. The princes have only more than 40,000 soldiers, and less than 40% of them are armed.

The so-called 500,000 troops on the south road were only two 100,000 soldiers in front and behind the princes, plus the 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers recruited along the way, but in fact, there were only 200,000 troops in total, and the combat power was still different.

In fact, not only the southern army, but also the other armies are like this. There are only more soldiers from the eastern army, claiming to be 400,000, but in fact it is only a 50,000 or 60,000 army, and nearly 100,000 men are bluffing.

As for the so-called 86 camp soldiers of Chu Jiang clan, they were simply a few. Not only did they say that they had armor and armor, but they couldn't even get all the weapons. The boat troops were more powerful, and the infantry were just funny, and they were better than the savages, and they were almost the same as ordinary servants.

Why was Shang Tang the leader of the alliance not because of his more than 100,000 elite horse strife army, and everyone was armed to the teeth. He could basically fight five in one to one attack. So Cheng Tang was not willing to falsely report the troops, and only 100,000 people were 100,000.

Why did no one dare to rebel before? It was because of the 200,000 troops of the Nine Barbarians in his hand. Although they were not armed with many armors, they were all cavalrymen. In the Central Plains, they were invincible.

Ji Yu was not interested in when to send troops, but when he heard that more than 100,000 troops would be stationed in Xuyi for half a month, his heart sank.

It should be noted that the Xu State has only a few hundred thousand people, and the 50,000 troops stationed in Chang are barely enough. In addition, the latter army is 100,000. It is an astronomical figure for these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to eat horses. Not to mention the consumption of food and grass, even eating all the elderly and young people in Xu State is not enough.
