Chapter 31 Turning point, easy attack and defense
Yizhou.

Chengshan Prefecture.

Where Duke Yang resides.

"A great victory in Jianzhou. General Wang Ben led the Tiger Army and many Jianzhou troops to march towards Yanzhou. Now they are attacking cities and seizing land. Soon the whole Yanzhou will be recovered!"

Duke of Yang, Yang Yun.

After seeing this battle report, I was also extremely shocked.

Even with his character, he found it hard to believe and even suspected it was fake.

Because it happened too sudden.

Before this, he didn't even know who Wang Ben was.

He knew something about the situation in Jianzhou.

Very bad.

The rebels mobilized on a large scale.

Internal instability.

However, the land of Yaozhou is extremely important. It is a key area connecting the western border and communicating with inland provinces.

He knew very well that if Jianzhou was lost, Yaozhou would also be difficult to defend.

But he didn't have any troops to help Jianzhou.

He is also under a lot of pressure.

Once he makes a move, the tribes in the western border will inevitably become dishonest.

You know, these Western families have been suppressed by Da Xia for so long and they are suffering terribly.

Once they see the opportunity, even without Prince Ning's invitation, they will use various means, overtly or covertly, to bring chaos to the Great Xia Empire.

The composition of the Western Territory's aristocratic families is very complex.

Especially some ancient families and families that have established countries.

Even though these royal families were destroyed, they still had strong foundations after escaping to the western border, and they were also the most motivated to do so.

Just like, during the period of the Zhao Dynasty, there were dozens of dynasties constantly conquering each other.

In more ancient times, when the Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the various Hu tribes were causing chaos, there were also hundreds of dynasties, large and small, from foreign races and from China, in this area, which constantly attacked.

Those ancient aristocratic families disliked the atmosphere of supreme imperial power in Daxia and absolute obedience to the emperor.

They prefer to manipulate the imperial power.

It was also after Taizu founded the country that he used various means to weaken their strength.

"Duke, it's true. This is the news sent by Jianzhou. We also went to check it out urgently."

A middle-aged man stood beside Yang Yun and said, "In the battle of Jianzhou, we lured the enemy into Jianzhou Prefecture and set a trap. In this battle, even Yuan Dinghou died, several Tongtiandus were killed, and the rebels were routed."

The middle-aged man is called Gu Liang, and he is in Tongtian realm.

A native of Yaozhou.

Also Deputy General Yang Yun.

"This must be a trap set by the court. Wang Ben and the Tiger Guards are really powerful. They didn't even tell the Duke of this country. They defended Jianzhou in one battle and also defeated the defense of Yanzhou."

Duke Yang put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth: "Yanzhou will be taken soon. Counterattacking the first state is of great significance."

"The next one is Liangzhou, which is also the most critical of the four states."

He is loyal to Daxia.

In his heart.

Although he would not directly rebel against the imperial court like Li Hong did, he had also thought about it and would do his best to have a clear conscience.

And the great victory of Jianzhou gave him hope.

Yang Yun himself scoffed at Prince Ning's plan to purge the court.

"Duke, what should we do? If Yanzhou is taken back, the rebels will definitely withdraw their forces back to Liangzhou."

Gu Liang asked.

Yang Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "The imperial court has launched a counterattack. This is the signal. Next, the imperial court should gather heavy troops to attack Liangzhou, and Prince Ning will not give up Liangzhou easily. A bloody battle will break out here."

"Some Western Territory noble families have reached an agreement with King Ning, and I'm afraid they will not allow the court to take back the Western Territory. They want to take advantage of the chaos in Daxia to open up the situation and make Daxia lose control of this area."

"The previous confrontation was the best for them."

Hearing this, Gu Liang nodded.

"The court has won two great victories in a row. I'm afraid there have been great changes in the court."

Yang Yun thought deeply: "Mobilize the Yaozhou Army and be ready to respond to changes at any time, or even join forces with the Jianzhou Army to attack Liangzhou at the same time, completely cutting off the direct connection between the Western Border and King Ning."

He couldn't control the situation in other places, but this place required his personal involvement.

"What I'm worried about is not this place, but I'm worried that if the war continues, when the war reaches a critical point in the future, the four borders of Daxia will be unstable."

Yang Yun was also deeply worried.

The emperor and Prince Ning had no way out and would not shake hands in peace, so they had to decide the winner.

The emperor and Prince Ning both represent two major interest groups.

Great victory in Jianzhou.

The army counterattacked.

This news spread throughout Daxia as quickly as a hurricane.

How could Chu Feng not publicize such a great victory?

The state capital is in your hands.

The powerful men in various state capitals found it hard to believe after learning about it.

The imperial court actually won such a great victory without any fuss and was even able to launch a counterattack.

Marquis Changyun and Marquis Yuanding were beheaded.

With Chu Feng's help, the news spread all over the world.

Those strong men reacted normally to their deaths. After all, according to the battle report, if General Wang Ben had not arrived in time, Jianzhou would have been gone long ago.

How could an emperor tolerate such a serious crime?

What concerns them most is.

Since the great victory in Tianyong, everything has changed drastically.

The imperial court was no longer defeated in battles as before.

Many people tend to favor Prince Ning because they see the possibility that he could seize the throne.

But now that the imperial court has demonstrated its ability to suppress the rebellion, naturally some of those who were wavering in their hearts will put aside their thoughts and cooperate wholeheartedly with the imperial court to resist the rebels.

They are also afraid.

I don’t want to encounter the same thing as Uncle Chang Yun again.

What if the imperial court sends another mysterious and powerful person like Wang Ben, like Chang Yunbo, to kill them?
I will lean towards whoever is in power.

This is also the benefit behind the Jianzhou victory.

Great Xia Qiankun Palace.

All the ministers gathered.

Recently.

Grand court meetings were held extremely frequently.

In the Qiankun Hall, there are also pieces of jade crystals that can record images and show the scenes.

With special treasures, forged by blacksmiths, the images can be preserved, recording the ups and downs of the battle, making people feel as if they are there.

"A great victory in Jianzhou. Wang Ben is counterattacking Yanzhou. It won't be long before we take Yanzhou back!"

"Yes, the recovery of Yanzhou is of great significance. It will be a turning point for the court to launch a counterattack against the rebels!"

"Although Prince Ning still occupies many prefectures, his foundation is not stable and people's hearts are still with the court. As long as we win a few more great victories, those strong men in the prefectures will abandon the dark and join the light and turn to our side."

in the hall.

A large number of important court officials, led by Prime Minister Lu, spoke one after another.

Previously, Chu Feng had cleaned up Prince Ning's secret agents and consolidated the situation in the capital.

They all laughed.

So inspiring.

Killing the enemy comes second.

The important thing is to win back people's hearts.

"Wang Ben did a great job and did not disappoint me."

Chu Feng sat on the throne and smiled.

He has been doing this since he traveled through time, and he has become more and more majestic as an emperor.

The consolidation of Jianzhou and Yanzhou also made Chu Feng feel that more national destiny was moving towards him.

"It is only a matter of time before Yanzhou is completely conquered. Previously, it was the rebels who took the initiative to attack, but I think the offense and defense have changed. It is time for us to launch a counterattack."

"Send a message to Wang Ben and Duke Yang. Once Yanzhou is taken, prepare to attack Liangzhou and try to take the four western provinces in the shortest possible time."

"All departments of the court give their full support."

Chu Feng issued imperial edicts one after another.

The consolidation of the country's fortunes made him feel that he could break through to a new level in a short period of time.
