An hour of high-intensity physical cultivation made Zhao Ziliang sweat profusely, and the muscles all over his body were like being filled with lead, and the profound physical arts cultivation secret method of Buddhism made him have not improved for a long time, and finally had the possibility of further improvement, these days, he practiced for an hour every day, and after half a month, his divine power finally broke through the three thousand jin mark, this pass has been stranded for five years, even if he was injured before, the energy overflowing from the wrench space could only treat his injury, but it could not improve his physique and strengthAnd this time, when the energy in the wrench space was manipulated by his consciousness and flowed throughout his body, the body finally reacted, which was a sign of a breakthrough in the strength of the whole body.

He knew that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, so he stopped after consolidating it, picked up the towel handed by the eunuch and wiped his sweat.

Xuan 18 walked in quickly and hugged his fists and said, "Great King, the alliance of the Southern Tianzhu Kingdoms has been completed, and they have begun to gather troops to come to the north. However, our strategy has already achieved initial results, the kings of the three kingdoms have agreed to secretly join our Western Qin side, and they are still ostensibly allied with other kingdoms against our army, and our envoys have agreed with them that if the alliance of the Southern Tianzhu Kingdoms and our army have a final decisive battle, they will rebel! ”

"Oh? Which three countries are they? Zhao Ziliang threw the towel to the eunuch and asked.

Xuan 18 said: "It's the Chola country, the Jera country and the Pallava country!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "It's not safe to do this, they don't have any handle to grasp in our hands, what if they don't fight back at the critical moment?" What can we do with them? Unless we defeat the Southern Tianzhu Nations Alliance in the decisive battle, but if so, wouldn't everything we do now be useless? Busy for nothing? ”

Du Fu suggested next to him: "Why don't you let them secretly send protons?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Which of their kings is not a group of children?" Even if there are not hundreds, at least there are dozens of people, will they care about the life or death of a child? This method is not advisable! ”

Xuan 18 said: "That can only force them to sign an alliance, so as to threaten them, if they do not do what we tell them, even if the coalition wins after the decisive battle, the alliance they signed will be announced to the public, and then they will inevitably be attacked by other kingdoms!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "This method is okay, but it is still not enough. It's better to ask for others than for yourself, this king remembers that some time ago, Zhao Ting sent someone from the Jisu Protectorate to send a piece of music to say that the navy has been trained, and now we have 120 large warships and more than 30,000 navy people in the Karachi Military Port of the Jisu Protectorate! Now that the navy has been trained, it is better to test its maritime navigation ability and combat ability, pass on the will of this king, and order him to lead a hundred naval warships and 20,000 naval officers and men to sail along the coastline to the coast of the Hosara Kingdom in Nantianzhu, and then land on the shore and attack inland, and attack the main force of our army in the south and north! ”

"Yes, King!"

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Go and call Zheng San!" ”

Zheng San quickly rushed over and saluted, "King! ”

"How is the food and grass collected by our army?"

Zheng San said: "King, the crops of the third season have all been harvested, the grain and grass we collected have been transported from all over Tianzhu, and the first batch of grain and grass can be transported in two days, that is to say, as long as you wait for another six days, the army can embark on the journey, and then the grain and grass will continue to arrive, where the army fights, the grain and grass can be transported to where!" ”

That night, Zhao Ziliang convened the generals and officials to discuss the matter, and ordered the army to advance southward in three ways, with the Eastern Route Army with Brehan as the chief general and Xuan Er as the deputy general, commanding the First Slave Army and the Sixth Army to attack south along the western foot of the Eastern Ghats from the territory of the former Kalinga Kingdom; The Western Route Army, led by Ma Lan as the main general, commanded the 99th Army Corps, and attacked south from the territory of the former Zhaohan Kingdom along the eastern foot of the Western Ghats; The Middle Route Army was personally commanded by Zhao Ziliang, commanding Li Sheng's Third Army and Xuan Si's Ninth Army. The three armies each brought 80,000 servant troops, with a total strength of nearly 400,000, of which there were 100,000 in the Western Qin army and 300,000 in the servant army.

Although the alliance was completed, it took time for the countries to mobilize their troops to gather in the north, which was definitely not something that could be completed in one or two days, and in the face of the Western Qin army going south in three ways, the South Tianzhu Alliance had no other way than to continue the policy of clearing the wilderness and shrinking the force to garrison the fortified city and the dangerous pass of Xiongguan.

The army of the Rashidra kingdom was attacked from two sides at the same time, and before the armies of the other countries of the alliance arrived, the army of the Rashidra kingdom could not resist the onslaught of the two Western Qin armies, and in less than five days, most of the land had fallen, and the capital city had also fallen, and the king had to take the royal family members and the minister of civil and military affairs to retreat from the city on the southern border of the king to continue to command the army and civilian resistance.

In order to speed up the attack, so that the alliance of the Southern Tianzhu countries did not have time to react, Zhao Ziliang ordered every time a city was broken to catch a large number of strong men to assist in the battle, these strong laborers could not fight, but it was still possible to engage in auxiliary work, they paved roads and bridges, helped transport large siege equipment, made stone bullets, and helped transport grain and grass, saving a lot of time for the regular army.

A large number of strong men were put into use to greatly increase the advance speed of the Western Qin army, which made the kings of the Southern Tianzhu Alliance even more frightened, and within half a month, the entire territory of the Rashidra Rakuda Kingdom fell, and the king Suo Po He continued to retreat south with the army and civilians, and entered other kings to continue to insist on fighting.

In the spring of the third year of the Xinghan Dynasty (765 AD), the kingdoms of Rashidra, Eastern Hengga, Western Hengga, Chadara, and Sudiyafudora fell one after another, and the kings and ministers of these kingdoms retreated further south with their soldiers and civilians to persist in fighting.

On the eighth day of the second month of the third year of Xinghan, the Southern Tianzhu Alliance gathered 400,000 troops in the territory of Vajia Tuojia, which is a country located in the middle of the Deccan Plateau, the terrain is relatively flat, and most of the country is grassland area. The 400,000 troops of the Southern Tianzhu Alliance were ready to defeat the middle route army commanded by Zhao Ziliang with superior forces.

Zhao Ziliang had nearly 120,000 horses in his hands, and although the combat effectiveness of the servant army was really not very good, it was about the same as that of the coalition army.

The camp of the West Qin Middle Route Army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat, with the generals of the Western Qin Army on the left and the servants on the right, and he asked, "How is the situation of the army of the Southern Tianzhu Alliance?" Who is the manager? ”

Xuan 18 stood up and said: "According to the news from the inside line, the Southern Tianzhu coalition army is commanded by the king of the Rashidra Khada Kingdom, but Suo Poha has now lost all the country, and the army in his hands is less than 20,000 people, and many kings are dissatisfied with him as a commander, and they disobey his orders!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said when he heard this: "It seems that the advantage of the Southern Tianzhu Coalition Army is that there are many troops, and the disadvantage is that the command does not agree and the people are not aligned, which is good news for us!" What about the strengths and weaknesses of our army? Only the strength of our Central Route Army is slightly insufficient to confront the opposing coalition army, but we are united in our hearts and commands, generals, is this king right? ”

Zhao Ziliang said this by looking at the generals of the servant army, and the generals of the servant army had already understood Zhao Ziliang's power, and they all hurriedly expressed their loyalty, "Yes, we only obey the king's orders!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked: "If my middle route army has a decisive battle with the Nantianzhu coalition army alone, are the generals afraid?" ”

The generals of the servant army looked at each other, and someone said, "To be honest, king, we are a little worried, after all, the difference in strength is too great!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "It's normal to be afraid, there's nothing to be ashamed of!" We have enough troops, so why should this king use the middle army to fight them alone? This king is not so stupid, pass on the will of this king, and order the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army to quickly move closer to the Middle Route Army! ”

"Command!" Marching Sima Wang Zhen agreed.

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Before the East Route Army and the West Route Army arrive, we can't retreat!" Why can't I get a refund? Once we retreat, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably fall, which is extremely unfavorable to our army, so we must deal with the Nantianzhu coalition army, we will not use them for a decisive battle, but this king is still confident that he will deal with them, fight a few first, and try their catties! ”

If there is no servant army, the middle route army is all the Western Qin army, Zhao Ziliang will choose to retreat tactically, after all, the loyalty of the Western Qin army is completely no problem, they obey the order without hesitation, but with the servant army is different, once he gives the order to retreat, these servant army must run faster than rabbits, they must think that the Western Qin army is going to be defeated, they have no sense of belonging to the Western Qin State, let alone any loyalty at all, Zhao Ziliang would rather be tough for a while, Use appropriate tactics to maneuver with the Southern Tianzhu coalition forces.

On 12 February, the 120,000 horses of the Western Qin Middle Route Army and the 400,000 horses of the Southern Tianzhu Coalition Army were 30 miles apart, and the two sides approached with their armies.

Zhao Ziliang quickly put 120,000 horses away with his skillful and superb command art, once the military formation was formed, the momentum came out immediately, and the Nantianzhu coalition army was too large in number of troops, and it was not subordinate to each other, and Suo Pohe's command ability was extremely limited, after Zhao Ziliang had put the 120,000 army away, the military formation of the Nantianzhu coalition army was still chaotic, and there was no formation at all.

400,000 horses, a radius stretching for dozens of miles, the grassland is full of dense people, Zhao Ziliang looked at it is also a burst of scalp numbness, he has not commanded so many troops, it is not that he has not seen it, he has commanded during the Anshi Rebellion, and he has commanded in an orderly manner, but he did not put so many troops into a military formation at the same time, he believes that if he is allowed to continue to put it on, even if it is dark, the military formation of the coalition army will not be able to be placed, and Suo Pohe does not have such a high command ability!
