Chapter 313: The General Trend

Dugu Zhen put all his net worth on this cooperation this time, and all his hopes are pinned on the integrity of the other party, this is a big gamble, either Chen Gong will become the emperor after the palace, or he will be executed by the imperial brother after failure, and nothing else. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info agreement reached, the next time is to show sincerity, Yang Xing took the lead in withdrawing troops, get out of the way and let Dugu Zhen return to Yanhai City, soon after, Dugu Zhen according to the agreement, after the new army led by Yunfucheng and Lei Hua staged a farce, defeated and retreated, gave Yunfu City to Lei Hua, and withdrew all the nearby garrisons.

When the 50,000 troops of Yunfu City arrived at Yanhai City, Chen Xin and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that a small Yunfu City would hide so many troops, so what about Yanhai City, how many troops were stationed there? If you really want to live and die with Dugu Zhenyi, it is really difficult to say whether you will win or lose, even if you can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and the remaining troops will definitely not exceed half, this is still the result of Chang Xun and their self-esteem deliberately overestimating their own strength, in fact, if there is really a war, Yang Xing's side will lose mostly.

Of course, Dugu Zhen will not have much of this family foundation left, which is why he doesn't want to fight hard with Yang Xing, he really can't afford to fight, even if he wins Yang Xing, without these family backgrounds, he only has a dead end left, unless he can give up everything and flee to other countries to live in seclusion, but that is not the result he wants.

After Lei Hua occupied Yunfu City, he did not garrison there, but only left a thousand cavalry to occupy it symbolically, and rushed to the coastal plain with the rest of the troops through Niujiao Mountain, where he joined Chen Xin and Shi Ping, and stationed at this strategic place while monitoring the movements of Dugu Zhen's troops.

Since Dugu Zhen showed his sincerity, Yang Xing was not ambiguous, and temporarily lent Gu Zhongcheng to Dugu Zhen as a supply transit in the same way. Dugu Zhen can be said to be desperate this time, taking out almost all the family funds that have been hoarded for many years, and transporting grain and grass to Guzhong City in a steady stream as a supply for the expeditionary force, and also providing Yang Xing with a certain share of grain and grass.

At this time, it was May, the weather became warmer, everything was ready, Dugu Zhen sent 50,000 troops from Yanhai City, after a half-moon trek to the ancient bell city twenty miles away, waiting to cooperate with Yang Xing's side to send troops to Nanzhou, the same, Dugu Zhen did not send heavy troops to garrison the ancient bell city, only a few thousand logistics soldiers in the city were responsible for rotating and guarding the grain and grass.

During this period, Yang Xing was not idle, and sent the Tiger Roar Legion and the Lone Wolf Legion, plus the various forces in the county town that openly and secretly took refuge in their own side at the same time, and captured all the officers and generals in the county who were about to take advantage of their expedition by thunderous means, eliminated all the forces that did not belong to him, and completely occupied the county town of Guanglu, as well as the entire Dongzhou except for Guzhong County, and it took less than two months to change from a rich landlord with only two county towns to a huge rich tyrant who played a role in the land of one state.

Dongzhou was occupied by Yang Xing, Prime Minister Xu Hanwen was furious, and immediately responded after calming down, starting from the logistics supply aspect, blocking all supplies and military salaries for Dongzhou, but what made him even more angry was that the queen, who had been pressed and did not dare to act rashly, jumped out to confront him at this time, and used the resources and connections at his disposal to mobilize military food resources from all over the country Dongzhou, and took out the edict of the former emperor who did not know where to get it and ordered the ministers, although Xu Hanwen doubted the authenticity of the fabrication, but the words were terrifying, and he had to avoid its edge and retreat slightly. Secretly contacting the generals of all parties to suppress and contain the rapidly growing Yang Xing, he already felt threatened.

Yang Xing ignored and participated in the contest between the prime minister and the queen, anyway, the grain and grass were half a penny, and his current focus was all on the recovery of Nanzhou. Dugu Zhen's expeditionary force was ready, Yang Xing sat in the county seat, and sent Chang Xun, Chen Xin, Tang Jian, and Li Yue to Nanzhou, at the same time, Yuan Fang secretly set off to Zhongzhou, and Luo Siping joined up, and began to lobby and win over some idle officials, Luo Siping also went all out, and collected the bandits and robbers recruited during this time, and launched dark methods against the prime minister's forces, and shot at the officials of the prime minister's faction or their families, kidnapping, extortion, threats, and did everything they could, making those people take care of themselves, making Zhongjing chaotic, Everyone in the officials was in danger, and some officials who were not firm began to shake their confidence in the prime minister.

The queen saw the opportunity to make another move, divided and won over many important officials, and took advantage of Xu Hanwen's anxiety to unite her own side and the rebellious officials by surprise, caught Xu Hanwen off guard, and once again controlled Sidu, an extremely important financial department, in her own hands.

Compared with the queen, Yuan Fang's harvest is not worth mentioning, although they have also attracted a lot of officials, but they are all idle officials who have no real power, most of them do not even have the qualifications to discuss the affairs of the court, there is no way, they are new to the court, there is no foundation, even if they want to rebel against those big people with real power, they can't see anyone at all, even if Yuan Fang has good eloquence and conditions, it is useless.

Nanzhou, the Japanese did not expect that the Eastern Sage Empire and the Ningyuan Empire would join forces to attack Nanzhou, they suffered a big loss at the beginning, and lost several cities one after another, when they reacted and sent troops to reinforce, the eastern part of Nanzhou had been lost, and they only had half of the state left.

Liusang country stationed in Nanzhou a lot of troops, but not much, their country's population base is limited, there are so many soldiers, the expansion of a state is already their limit, now the army is pressing, the Lausanne Empire desperately resists, the two sides are in a stalemate, with Xi County and Linhai County as the demarcation point, to launch the attack, just when the two sides are deadlocked, the defenders of Nanping County attacked the north of Nanzhou on a large scale, and Xizhou sent troops to occupy the west of Nanzhou at the same time, and the Japanese people were attacked on three sides, and had to give up most of the territory again, retreat to the coastal Yingnan County and Pukou County, The area of Xiaguan County.

After recovering the lost territory, the people were excited, and the refugees who had fled from Nanzhou poured in, returned to their hometowns, and formed a civil defense force under the guidance of the government, cleared the hidden Lausanne rout, and rebuilt their homes at the same time.

Yang Xing has lived in Nanzhou for more than ten years, for him it is his hometown, and he spares no effort for the reconstruction of Nanzhou, food, building materials, as long as they can be used, all are transported to Nanzhou, and as the third prince, he ordered that Nanzhou be exempted from all taxes for three years.

Yang Xing is like this, the people of Nanzhou are grateful, and Yang Xing, the future emperor, is the will of the people and the trend of the times.
