Chapter 55: The Three Northern States Lost the Initiative [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The war in Daxia has reached its most critical moment.

Current situation.

The twelve prefectures successively returned to the control of the imperial court.

This is the land of Daxia, so there is no need to win over the hearts of the people, and it is very easy to control.

Today's situation.

The court regained the hearts of the people.

All parts of Daxia are calling for peace in order to face the enemies on all four sides.

As for the front line, Chu Feng will not micro-manage and disrupt the deployment of the front-line generals. He only needs to control the general direction.

"The next series of chaos will begin with the decisive battle in the north."

Chu Feng said to himself: "Duan Qianqiu and I have already taken into account all possible changes. Some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to take action, so I will wait for you."

Yunzhou.

Connected with Yanzhou.

at the border.

The army gathered.

After sweeping across twelve state capitals in succession.

Armies from all directions were gathering towards Yanzhou.

Along the way, a large number of defenders surrendered to the imperial army and were also mobilized.

The imperial court also sent many officials from the capital to maintain order in the state and restore operations.

The local forces within these prefectures were also mobilized by the imperial court for a decisive battle with Prince Ning.

This time, Wang Jian and Chang Yu are the main forces.

Lead many powerful people.

"Duke Chang, you see, the front line is the border of Yanzhou. Yanzhou is surrounded by Ganzhou and Yongzhou. But in fact, after we defeat Yanzhou, we don't need to go through the other two states. We can go directly to the three states in the north."

Wang Jian said.

“The three states in the north are also the three states that King Ning controls most firmly, and these three states are the second most important.”

Chang Yu said: "The current suppression of the rebellion has reached an extremely important stage. Prince Ning has few options for retreat. He has lost the support of the people and the overall situation. If he keeps retreating, he will be doomed."

"I'm not worried about the rebels. The imperial court is in a strong position and all places want peace. His Majesty has mobilized many local families and people. A war broke out in the East China Sea not long ago. We can't interfere in the west and the south, but as for the north, His Majesty has issued an order before, remember to pay attention to the Beiyuan regime and those Hu people."

Wang Jian has a steady personality and is good at taking charge of the overall situation.

"The remnants of Beiyuan, huh, if they hadn't run fast, we would have wiped them out long ago. They have always been a big problem for us. We have penetrated deep into the North many times, but we have never been able to find their main force."

Chang Yu snorted coldly: "But General Wang, you are right. It is inevitable that they will make trouble and disrupt our decisive battle with the rebels."

"With the war here, chaos in the four borders of Daxia is inevitable, but if we can quickly put down the rebellion as quickly as possible, Daxia will suffer less losses."

Wang Jian said: "We will definitely fight against the northern barbarians!"

"Prince Ning will not sit idly by when something is unavoidable. He cannot afford to lose, and neither can the people who support him behind the scenes."

Chang Yu frowned.

In the present Daxia, all the armies and strong men in the provincial capitals have been withdrawn and rushed to various battlefields.

"General Wang, Duke Chang, His Majesty has just sent a secret order."

At this moment, a deputy general delivered a secret order.

Chang Yu and Wang Jian looked at each other and then opened it.

Wang Jian dismissed everyone and said to Chang Yu: "Duke Chang, His Majesty has issued a secret order. Recently, His Majesty has been secretly training a strong army, and soon a mysterious strong man will come to support him, and his strength is not inferior to you and me."

"Mysterious powerful man!"

Chang Yu couldn't figure out who it could be.

But not inferior to him and Wang Jian
You know, he has already broken through to the ninth level of Tongtian. Even though he has just broken through, he is still at the ninth level.

And Wang Jian is even more extraordinary. He is at the peak of the eighth level, but his actual combat power is by no means inferior to that of Tongtian at the ninth level.

Then what is the strength of this mysterious and powerful man!

Chang Yu didn't think too much and laughed, "Your Majesty has a backup plan. He also knows that the North is important. Someone came to support us. Although we don't know their identity, we can still fight them."

He looked at the vast land, and then said: "General Wang, Yanzhou is right in front of us. I will lead the army directly into Yanzhou, and you will stabilize the rear for me and provide support."

"I'm at the rear." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"General Wang, joining forces with you feels like joining forces with Duke Xu and I. He coordinates the overall situation for the Duke, and the Duke does not need to think so much and can just charge in." Chang Yu reminisced about those glorious years.

He is good at charging into battle, but not good at overall planning.

Wang Jian and he complemented each other very well.

Wang Jian said: "We will march into Yanzhou and see if King Ning is willing to fight a decisive battle with us in Yanzhou. If not, there is no need to waste time. We will directly attack the three northern states. Let the court send people to control the surrounding Ganzhou and Yongzhou. Our army does not need to worry about them."

"Well said. We should not delay when it is time to use drastic measures." Chang Yu agreed.

Although Wang Jian was stable, he did not just seek stability.

"The composition of Prince Ning's forces is quite complex. When he conquered the Eighteen States, he controlled dozens of princes. He also took away the three guards and subordinate forces of those princes. At this time, we can also make some efforts in this regard during the battle to make those controlled princes and their forces surrender to the court."

Wang Jian said.

Chang Yu said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. It's impossible for those princes to seize the throne, and they don't care who becomes the emperor. Moreover, the princes' troops are used to seize the throne, and they are controlled, so it's difficult to command them to move."

"I know this, but it will cause some internal unrest in Prince Ning's army. In a decisive battle, every factor will affect the victory or defeat."

Wang Jian said.

"You are responsible for this!"

Chang Yu doesn't care about that.

then.

Chang Yu turned over and fell upon a ferocious beast that was spewing black flames.

"Soldiers, follow me and charge directly into Yanzhou to achieve great success!"

Chang Yu yelled.

"Attack Yanzhou!"

"Push down the rebels!"

"Making great achievements!"

The soldiers roared wildly.

Dust rolled as the first batch of elite vanguards, led by Chang Yu, had already rushed directly into Yanzhou.

Wang Jian looked at the back of the army and said solemnly: "This Duke Chang was the most powerful general in Daxia during the time of Taizu. With him leading the army personally, there won't be any problems. I have to stabilize the rear for Duke Chang."

"Order the army to follow Duke Chang's footsteps and advance steadily."

Wang Jian gave the order.

now.

The land of Dingzhou.

The main force of the rebels gathered here.

In Dingzhou city.

Important people gather here.

But compared to the excitement they had in Qianzhou, they are now decadent and depressed, and nowhere near as wild as before.

All the twelve states were lost in less than a year.

They were also compressed back to Dingzhou.

Apart from the three northern states, the other three states will probably be lost soon.

The imperial army was approaching with heavy troops, forcing them to launch a decisive battle.

But previous losses and internal instability left them with little choice.

Even Duke Li looked gloomy at this moment.

If he loses, not only will he die, but all his family and relatives will be wiped out.

It’s so bloody that I dare not think about it.

This is also the terrible price to pay for losing the initiative.

Throughout Daxia, not to mention the prefectures that were taken back by the imperial court, even the people in the three core northern prefectures were seeking peace and were unwilling to fight any further.

How can we fight without popular support?

Now in the eyes of many Daxia people.

They were no longer seeking to purge the imperial court, but were the Great Xia rebels, the biggest traitors, who were labeled the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty.
