Chapter 33 Beiliang Prefecture, Snow Dragon Mountain
Chapter 33 Beiliang Prefecture, Snow Dragon Mountain
The Battle of Liangzhou officially began.
Wang Ben and Yang Yun hit it off immediately.
Immediately launch the attack on Liangzhou.
Among the four western states, Liangzhou is the largest in area, and its people are fierce and brave.
It has always been an important source of soldiers for the imperial court.
After Prince Ning took control of Liangzhou, he immediately expanded his military forces in Liangzhou.
The army was like a tiger, and it penetrated into Liangzhou fiercely with the posture of a tiger descending from the mountain.
The Ning Wang army naturally knew that the power of the current court was completely different from before.
After Yang Tianhai arrived in Liangzhou, he quickly took over the military power.
He could see that instead of placing his military forces in a state, prefecture, or county for defense, they would be more likely to be defeated one by one.
Moreover, the imperial army came with a nominal purpose, and the people from all over the country would not fight back.
Even the forces of various prefectures would cooperate with the imperial court in the attack.
Therefore, he continued to gather troops and brought all his strength together to confront the imperial army head-on.
Unless his power is defeated, the imperial court will not be able to take over Liangzhou.
And he is also very good at winning over people.
He personally contacted some noble families in the Western Territory and asked them to send out their strong men to help King Ning defend.
Today the situation is deteriorating.
The two sides fought for the initiative.
Yang Tianhai must get the initiative back into his own hands. He also understands that if even Liangzhou is lost, it will be an enormous blow to King Ning.
Once Liangzhou falls, provincial governments at various places will inevitably return to the hands of the imperial court one after another.
This price is unbearable.
Horses trample mountains and rivers.
The imperial army entered Liangzhou without encountering any effective resistance.
But Wang Ben did not feel relaxed at all.
"Duke Yang, the rebels are gathering their forces in Beiliang Prefecture. According to the news, this time it is Yang Tianhai, the strategist beside Prince Ning, who is in charge."
Wang Ben looked at Duke Yang.
"I know Yang Tianhai. He is an old demon Taoist. He was originally from Shenxiao Sect, but later left Shenxiao Sect. He is very scary and has many schemes and tricks at his fingertips. At first, Yang Tianhai also wanted to persuade the Duke of this country to surrender."
Yang Yun was very cautious to Yang Tianhai: "The rebels' purpose is very clear, they want to fight a bloody battle with us in Beiliang Prefecture."
"Beiliang Prefecture is not easy to conquer." Wang Ben said solemnly.
Beiliang Mansion.
The seat of Liangzhou Prefecture.
The city of Beiliang is tall and solid, with an extremely long history.
It has been the capital of many separatist regimes.
It is also a core area among the four western states.
If you want to attack Beiliang Prefecture by force, you will have to pay a bloody price.
Back then, during the reign of Emperor Taizu, Liangzhou served as the capital of the local government.
At that time, there were also forces from the Western Territory to help guard the city.
In order to capture Beiliang Prefecture, a huge price was paid to take over this area.
Later, he used Beiliang Prefecture to carry out a large-scale massacre in the western border.
Yang Yun also knew this.
The four regions of Daxia are not stable at present.
All forces are watching the situation in Daxia.
He also didn't want Daxia to fall into prolonged civil strife, giving others an opportunity to take advantage.
"There is no other way but to attack head-on!"
Yang Yun said seriously: "General Wang, push all the troops towards Beiliang Prefecture. The only way is to defeat the rebels' resistance from the front. I guess that old demon will also win over some forces in the western border. If we fight with this, we can severely damage that part of the force and eliminate all the unstable factors in the western border at the same time. It's not a bad thing."
Wang Ben nodded: "Let's do it this way."
Reports on the battle situation in Liangzhou were continuously sent to the imperial capital like snowflakes.
No one dares to ignore it.
Chu Feng knew that this battle was important.
Jianzhou and Yanzhou eliminated the unstable factors and allowed the court to concentrate its strength on his side.
And Liangzhou was the beginning of his great counterattack.
Chu Feng understood very well that the longer the war with King Ning lasted, the more the national strength of Daxia would be depleted.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
He discussed with Wang Jian, Lu Ming, Duan Qianqiu and many other court ministers and decided to transfer troops from some inland prefectures to Liangzhou to help Wang Ben conquer Liangzhou.
As for the strong, he mobilized many marquises and earls to go to Liangzhou.
In the past, some people couldn’t use it.
But now, it can be transferred out.
pity.
There are also many imperial troops in the states east of Daxia. It is difficult to transfer them away.
It is not only to guard against the King of Qi, but also to guard against the overseas sects.
These overseas sects are more troublesome than the aristocratic families in the Western Territory. There are many sects and their teachings are intertwined with good and evil.
In addition, there are many desperate criminals who are far away overseas and do things more recklessly than those aristocratic families.
Otherwise, once it wreaks havoc in the east, the destructive power will be extremely large.
And he knew it very well.
Now it seems that the enemies in the four borders are relatively stable, but in fact they are all watching to see how far the civil strife in Da Xia will go.
And when it is difficult for both sides to win quickly.
Chu Feng must continue to weaken the power controlled by King Ning.
"Beiliang Prefecture, the site of the decisive battle!"
Chu Feng pointed his finger on the map.
His expression was cold.
The enemies in the four borders of Daxia were also the reason why he could not use all his strength to deal with the rebels.
After he has quelled the civil strife, he will continue Taizu's policy and completely eliminate the enemies in these four borders.
"As for Liangzhou, we'll have to look at Duke Yang and Wang Ben."
Chu Feng said to himself: "In Qianzhou, Prince Ning has not withdrawn yet, and is forcing me to use a lot of strength to confront him!"
The tense atmosphere continued.
As both sides continued to mobilize their forces to the Beiliang Prefecture area, it also became the focus of attention.
Outside Beiliang Mansion.
All the imperial troops rushed here.
The imperial army gathered together.
In addition to the Jianzhou Army and the Yaozhou Army, there are also elite troops from many prefectures.
Many marquises also came.
Not all marquises want to surrender to Prince Ning.
They were also dissatisfied with Prince Ning's behavior, which dragged Daxia into the war, thus destabilizing the good situation.
In the past, these dukes had no good way to deal with Prince Ning's overwhelming force.
"Duke Yang!"
"General Wang!"
With the arrival of a large number of powerful people, the number of powerful people in Liangzhou has reached dozens.
And this is the profound heritage of Daxia.
It was the civil strife in Daxia that gave the people in the four borders the confidence to not act rashly.
Wang Ben is not familiar with some of the strong men.
And Yang Yun nodded.
He is a duke and has prestige.
Some of them had once served under him.
"I won't say anything more. This is the blockade set up by the rebels, and these are some of the strongest among the rebels. We can only attack through these blockades one by one!"
Yang Yun said: "This battle is jointly commanded by me and General Wang Ben."
"Beiliang Prefecture is strong, has a special terrain, and is close to the Snow Dragon Mountain. This is also the purpose of the rebels!"
Wang Ben said.
They could see the grandeur and vastness of Snow Dragon Mountain even when they were standing outside Beiliang Prefecture.
Xuelong Mountain is winding and twisted, just as its name suggests, it looks like a snow dragon, with snow all year round.
The Snow Dragon Mountain is too long and too big, extending all the way to the deepest areas of the western border.
Snow Dragon Mountain is special and contains terrifying power. It has its own formation of heaven and earth, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the area passed through.
Many of the aristocratic families in the western region live along the Snow Dragon Mountain.
The further away from the Snow Dragon Mountain, the poorer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be, and the more endless sandstorms will appear.
Beiliang Prefecture is the leader of Snow Dragon Mountain.
It is the place with the strongest spiritual energy.
When Daxia seized Liangzhou and occupied the top of Snow Dragon Mountain, it was actually strangling their lifeline and making it impossible for them to survive in the best place.
Yang Tianhai's visit this time was able to gain support from many aristocratic families in the Western Region.
He actually promised that if they could hold on to Liangzhou, he would allow them the right to survive in Longtou.
Of course, the price is to be loyal to King Ning.
The temptation is great.
"Attack by force, there is no other choice."
A middle-aged man said.
He was Marquis Cangwu.
"Three days later, launch a decisive attack on Beiliang Prefecture!"
