Taiping Ninth Year, March 21. Kuangsha Literature Network

Basel, the governor of the Western Region and the younger brother of the Emperor of the Dashi Empire, assembled an army of 80,000, and with the help of internal support in the city, he prepared to launch the final grand total.

Things developed very smoothly. With the help of internal agents, all the defenders on the northern city wall evacuated. The army of the Dashi Empire climbed up the city wall and finally invaded the city. Basel looked up to the sky and laughed wildly in excitement. In his opinion, the war was finally over.

It's over. With this victory, I will be so glorious after returning to my country.

But it was as the 50,000-strong army invaded the city that the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

Ansu and Bilan, with a total of 30,000 troops, led by Prince Zhanbai of Ansu, made a counterattack and raided the Chinese army camp in Basel. They were caught off guard and held on for less than an hour. In the end, they were defeated miserably.

Thousands of soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Under the desperate resistance of the Governor of Xizhou, Hammer Ozzie, he finally led less than 5,000 remnant soldiers to the defeat. He protected Basel, who was unconscious due to an arrow, and fled towards Xizhou.

As for the 50,000-strong army in the city, following this sudden rebellion, they were besieged in the city, and as the entire Suiye City burned down, the entire army was destroyed, along with the entire Xiyue Kingdom.

The great changes in the Western Region shook the entire Dashi Empire.

Plans had been made to concentrate all military forces and take advantage of the destruction of the once powerful enemy, the Eclipse Kingdom, to expand the vast territory that was now fragmented. With the drastic changes in the Western Region, it had to be

Something has changed.

In the ninth year of Taiping, March 28th.

The Emperor of the Dashi Empire conveyed the general military mobilization and assembled 200,000 elite troops, with the imperial prince Mahdi as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, to suppress the rebellion in the Western Regions.

The great changes in the Western Regions have attracted great attention from all parties.

Wuzhou Governor's Mansion.

In the room, Fan Zhong frowned and glanced at the door from time to time. His face was full of worry. Fan Zhong always looked confident and rarely had such negative emotions on his face.

News of the great changes in the Western Regions quickly reached Wuzhou. Fan Zhong immediately wrote a detailed report and rushed it back to the Central Plains for 800 miles.

The land of the Western Regions is turbulent, but it has little impact on Wuzhou. The connection between the Jin Dynasty and the Western Regions has been severed for more than a hundred years, and there is no grudge between the two sides. Now, the countries in the Western Regions have officially launched a rebellion against the Dashi Empire.

Daqi, their next move is either to actively prepare for war and defend against the upcoming strong counterattack of the Dashi Empire, or to take the initiative to attack, but no matter what, their target will only be the west, not Longyou, but as time goes by

An unexpected thing happened and everything changed.

After Hammer Eqi fled back to Xizhou, together with the 5,000 soldiers left behind, he had another 10,000 troops in his hands. Just as he was stabilizing the morale of the army and strengthening the defense of the city, Anshu Prince Zhan Bai led an army of 30,000 and immediately killed

arrive.

Zhan Bai is the fourth son of King Dieliga of Ansu. The countries in the Western Regions have been ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty for many years and were deeply influenced by Han culture. Therefore, their throne succession system also emphasizes the establishment of direct descendants. Although Zhan Bai is not the eldest son,

But his mother was Queen Anshu, and her bloodline was noble. Zhan Bai's successor order was naturally much higher than that of other princes.

Zhan Bai is twenty-seven this year, and he is well-known throughout the Western Regions. He is even more prestigious than his father, the mediocre King Diego.

Zhan Bai was extremely intelligent since he was a child. When he was twelve years old, compared to other countries, he tried every possible means to send unimportant princes to Dashi as hostages. Zhan Bai was very courageous and tried his best to persuade his father, Deliga, to go there in person as the prince.

Marmaha, the capital of the Dashi Empire, worshiped a local scholar as his teacher because his teacher was very proficient in Chinese culture. Over the past ten years, Zhan Bai not only learned the prosperous Dashi culture, but also had a good understanding of the profound Chinese culture.

, both Dashi language and Chinese language are very proficient.

Basel and others had just experienced a disastrous defeat. They were still in shock and had not yet completely settled down. James led the army to fight. After the first battle, Hammer Ozzie was defeated again. In the end, he had to listen to his confidant Mo.

At Yi's suggestion, he took Basel and a few dozen of his cronies with him, mingled with the refugees, and fled to Wuzhou.

Fan Zhong firmly believed that Zhan Bai's current main enemy was the Dashi Empire, not them. If he offended Da Jin at the same time and faced enemies on both sides, no idiot would do such an unwise act.

However, Fan Zhong had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that Hammer Erzi, Basel and others would be among the refugees and fled to Wuzhou. Hammer Erzi immediately rushed there in the name of the envoy of the Dashi Empire.

Fengjing met with Zhao Zhi and asked for help on the grounds that the two countries were allies.

Subsequently, after learning the whereabouts of Hamerqi and others, Zhan Bai also immediately sent an envoy to Wuzhou with extremely strong words, demanding that Fan Zhong surrender immediately, and sent troops to the other side of the Mulang River to intimidate with force.

Fan Zhong now has a headache. There is indeed an alliance between Dashi and Dajin. In the past two years, the trade between the two countries has been fully liberalized, and the relationship between countries has also been heating up rapidly. Moreover, Hammer Oz is extremely cunning.

After settling in Basel, he immediately transformed into an envoy of the Dashi Empire. He rushed directly to Fengjing with a few trusted guards, without giving Fan Zhong any chance.

"Brother Zhong, why are you in a daze?"

Shanqiu, Zhao Wei walked in and saw Fan Zhongzheng sitting there in a daze, so he couldn't help but wake him up.

Fan Zhong came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Have you completed all your military deployment?"

Shan Qiu nodded: "It has been completed. All the materials and manpower of the Shipping Department have been emptied. Li Cunxiao and Yuan He's army have arrived in Wuzhou, and a total of 16,000 soldiers have been assembled. In addition to the 6,000 soldiers guarding Wu'an City,

I will personally lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers. Two thousand of them will be stationed at Liangshuikou. Together with Zhao Zhang's 1,000 soldiers, there will be a total of 3,000 people. Liangshuikou will be used as a fortress and an important military frontier. Li Cunxiao will lead 3,000 troops and I will lead the troops.

Five thousand, twenty miles apart, echoed each other and built fortresses to prevent Zhan Bai from leading his army across the Mulang River."

As Zhan Bai's army pressed forward, the nerves of the entire Wuzhou began to become tense. Although Fan Zhong felt that Zhan Bai was just showing off, everything is possible. Fan Zhong did not dare to be careless, while actively mobilizing the entire Longyou three states.

The military forces gathered in Wuzhou, while sending people to negotiate with Zhan Bai on the other side of the river to delay Basel's disastrous defeat in the Western Region. The Dashi Empire will never sit idly by and ignore it. I am afraid that it is already gathering troops to prepare for a more serious battle.

It is a huge war. Once the Dashi Empire sends troops, Zhan Bai will not be able to waste time with himself here.

Fan Zhong nodded and agreed to Danqiu's military arrangements.

Fan Zhong has a forward-thinking strategic vision that ordinary people do not have, but his strong point is civil administration. Specific and detailed military deployment, his ability in this area can only be regarded as average. With Zhan Bai's aggressiveness, Fan Zhong followed Li Xun

The characteristics of employing people are that the more critical moments are reached, the more they dare to employ people, dare to delegate power, and give full military power to Sima Zhong and Shanqiu.

"Is Sima Zhong coming back?"
