Golden autumn October.

Autumn is high and cool, the sky is light and the clouds are light, and the wind and sun are beautiful.

Two big snow-white birds hovered between the blue sky and white clouds, and let out a scream from time to time. As they hovered low in the air, they immediately revealed their fierce and noble figures, and the two giant birds were more than three feet long, and their huge white wings spread out, even more than a foot long. The whole body is snow-white and spotless, without the slightest variegation, like two divine birds.

The overlord eagle in the sky, compared with them, can only be overshadowed.

This is no longer an eagle, but an eagle. And it is one of the 100,000 condors, carved out of Liaodong, and the most handsome one is called Haidongqing.

And this pair of carvings is the best of the best, the king of the hegemons.

Such a divine bird can be possessed by extraordinary people. What's more, such a pair of air overlords from Liaodong were hovering on the west bank of the Yellow River at this time, hovering on the Loess Plateau in Guanzhong.

Just as they swept over the hovering loess plateau, a large black and oppressive forest, a forest of steel, suddenly appeared.

This is a sea of people, a forest of soldiers. This is the team of the strongest men today, the team of Li Jing, the king of Qin.

A pair of top-grade jade claws Hai Dongqing circled down from under the blue sky, and finally landed on the Qin King chariot under the golden eagle banner in the middle of the steel forest, constantly waving its wings, fanning the wind to blow towards the Qin King Li Jing who was sitting in the carriage with the four sides of the carriage open.

The huge golden war horse 'Land Rover' tied to the golden chariot snorted at the two birds with some dissatisfaction, and the silver wolf Xiaoyue, who was trotting on the other side of the chariot, just glanced at the pair of birds, and then continued to walk with its steady and dance-like pace disdainfully.

In the carriage, the official documents and military information that were constantly gathered and submitted from the rear were being reviewed. was blown by Hai Dongqing's fanning wind, and he couldn't help but raise his head and smile. They simply put together a fold and took out two large pieces of fresh beef chilled from the box next to them and gave them to eat.

"Dragon Eagle Knight, Griffon Knight. Hungry! "These two Hai Dongqing are not wild, but they were born to Li Jing's previous domesticated Hai Dongqing and were domesticated and raised by him himself. The two Haidong Qing, who were already blue and blue, were stronger than their mothers. Li Jing likes this pair of carvings very much. They even added two knightly titles to their names. The two Hai Dongqing are very humane, and they are very close to Li Jing and come up to take the beef, and they are not violent.

The sweaty BMW Land Rover and the silver giant wolf Xiaoyue on the side were a little dissatisfied with Li Jing's favoritism, staring at the two birds and whining in a low voice.

"Hahaha, you're still jealous." Li Jing laughed loudly, during the nervous march, there were these little friends, which really made people feel a lot more relaxed. He took two more pieces of beef, and fairly threw them at each other. "Land Rover Rider. Moon Whistling Knight. Well. Now that's fair! ”

The four fierce 'knights' suddenly ate a large piece of their own food, and forgot about Li Jing, the master, for a while.

The four birds of prey beasts are fierce though. But Li Jing has more fierce soldiers who far surpass these four knights at this time. Not long ago, there was a big battle in the Central Plains. Yang Fugong and others withdrew without a fight, and the Qin army quickly consolidated the situation in Hedong and the Central Plains.

300,000 elites marched west to the south, and under the command of Li Jing, they had completed the conquest of the six towns of Chengde, Weibo, and Zhaoyi in Hebei, and Hedong, Hezhong, and Heyang in Hedong, and had further consolidated their control over Luoyang. Right now, Li Jing is about to beat the water dog and take advantage of the victory to go west.

Yu Xuan, the general of the expedition to the north, has already attacked Zhenwu in the Hetao, Wang Yanzhang, the general of the expedition to the west, has also led the army into Baoda, and the general of the expedition to the south, Lin Wei, is drinking the horse and the Yellow River, and is sweeping the town of Shaanxi between the two capitals.

And Li Jing, seeing that the Central Plains War was won before the battle, did not continue to stay in Luoyang, nor did he immediately rush to return to the newly set capital Yanjing. Instead, they went north to the river, followed the route of Gao Siji and their original crossing of the river, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen West into Guanzhong, and entered Hancheng on the east bank.

Li Jing can temporarily let go of Qin Zongquan, Yang Xingmi, Qian Di, and Zhu Wen, but he will never let Yang Fugong go at this time.

Chang'an, he is determined to win!

Li Jing marched westward this time, and the guards under his personal command were still 50,000 elites.

Coupled with the 30,000 elites in the north of Yu Xuan, the 20,000 elites in Wang Yanzhang's forward, and Lin Wei's 100,000 soldiers and horses, the elite soldiers of the Qin Domain's attack on Guanzhong this time were 200,000.

Many courtiers advised Li Jing that he should return to Yanjing at this time to prepare for the accession to the throne. But for Li Jing, he had to come to Guanzhong first. In the battle of the Western Expedition, he had to personally sit on the front line and command. This is not what he wants, he is the king of a country, and he does not need to compete with his subordinates at all, and his military merits are his merits. But he didn't come to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but there was enough reason to make this trip west.

Even if he had agreed to the persuasion of the ministers and agreed to the enthronement. But before that, he needs to go this way first, and if he doesn't destroy the Chang'an Imperial Court first, Li Jing will never be in a hurry to do the throne. What he wants is not only to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, but also to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to personally hold the jade seal of the country to open the city and surrender completely. Moreover, he also has to welcome Li Ye, the Son of Heaven, back to Yanjing, and then stay in Yanjing Zen for him, so as to truly complete this sacred ceremony.

Fifty thousand elite guards, wearing dazzling armor, stood majestically under the autumn sun.

These most elite soldiers today are as silent as a sculpture, no one speaks, laughs, and no one walks around. Only countless black eagle flags symbolizing the majesty of the Qin Domain hunted in the wind, and only the Rulin stabbing spears in their hands shone dazzlingly in the sun.

The young and majestic officer of the guard raised his head with his chest held high, strode high, and walked through the guards towards Li Jing's carriage with the briefcase in his hand.

Under the tall, wide and huge carriage, in addition to the "Four Horsemen of the Beast", stood side by side Zhang Chengye, the director of the Inner Chamberlain Province, who was already slightly fat and smiling, and Zhao Jiang, the head of the guard in the chamber. These two people, whose official positions are not obvious and whose titles are not high, are the two Qin kings who are usually closest to the king of Qin and are also very trusted by Li Jing.

The young captain officer put his legs together. With a snap, he first stood upright, then knelt on one knee, and slammed his right hand into a fist on his left chest. The voice shouted loudly: "Report to King Qin, the front-line military situation has been delivered!" ”

The one-armed Zhao Jiang stepped forward, glanced at the captain officer, and then took the official document from his hand. After a careful examination, he nodded. He turned around and walked to the front of the cart, and reported warmly: "Your Highness, the military situation on the front line!" ”

Although Li Jing had not yet ascended the throne at this time, Li Jing had already accepted the persuasion and was close to the throne. This made a close attendant like Lian Zhao Jiang have a little more etiquette when facing Li Jing, and he no longer dared to look directly at "Tianyan" at will, but just bowed his head respectfully. At this time, the quasi-heavenly son Li Jing. He was only thirty-three years old. Twelve years of struggle. started from scratch, from a farmer, and finally achieved the great cause of the emperor. Although he has been fighting outside all year round. But the delivery is excellent. And at this time, we are at the peak of our lives, whether it is physical fitness. or in terms of spiritual temperament, there is an overflowing majesty everywhere.

He was still extremely young not long after the year he was established, but now his status and majesty are already unsightly.

Li Jing took the military information sent by Zhao Jiang, opened it casually, and swept his sharp gaze over the military information. Zhao Jiang lowered his head cautiously, and occasionally glanced at Li Jing with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and when he saw Li Jing reading the official document, a smile gradually appeared on his face, obviously, this official document that had just been delivered was good news.

He wanted to ask what the military situation was, but he became more and more aware of the rules, but in the end he didn't say anything. has been by King Qin's side for many years, and he has gradually understood that he should not say what he should not say, and he should not see what he should not see.

Li Jing put down the fold and tapped his fingers lightly on his knee. Then he asked, "How far is it from Hancheng?" ”

Zhao Jiang hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, this place is still twenty miles away from Hancheng!" General Guo Wei was already preparing to take over in Hancheng, and just now General Guo sent someone to report that he had arrived ten miles east of Hancheng. ”

"Don't enter Hancheng, go straight south." Li Jing said.

Zhao Jiang was a little surprised, "Your Highness, the south is Li Quanzhong's Tongzhou ground, and the line of Haoyang, Hexi, and Chengcheng is still in his hands!" ”

Li Jing chuckled: "It's not anymore!" ”

Tongzhou is the gate of the east of Guandong, the east of Tongzhou is separated by the Yellow River and the junction of Jiangzhou and Puzhou in the river, the west is separated by the Beiluo River and the junction of Fangzhou and Jingzhao, and the south is separated from Huazhou by the Wei River. Pujin Pass in Tongzhou is the main traffic road of Qin and Jin, Tongguan in Huazhou is the gate of the east of the Guan, and although the Pujin Pass in the same state is not one of the four stops in the Guanzhong, it is also the side gate of the east of the Guan. The new town of Tongzhou was an important post station between Qin and Jin at that time. It has four city gates, and each gate is composed of six village forts, brick and wood structure, and it is expected to be watched. Even in Caozhuang in the southwest corner, there is a purple gold city, with two palaces of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the north palace and the east palace. During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the western capital, Luoyang was the eastern capital, Taiyuan was the northern capital, and Puhan was once established as the central capital. Puzhou and Tongzhou were prosperous at that time.

Because of this, this place where Shaanxi, Jin, and Henan meet, at the corner of the Yellow River, history is a place where soldiers must fight.

Although Yang Fugong gave up this important land in the river, when he returned to Chang'an, he still left soldiers and horses to guard the Yellow River. As the landlord of the same state, Li Quanzhong, the marshal of the town, is heavily guarded by Tongguan and Pujin Pass. Li Quanzhong was once driven out of Hebei by Li Jing, and finally seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the Huangchao Rebellion, to clear his identity and find the territory of Tonghua for himself. Now, how can you be willing to be driven away by Li Jing for the second time.

Besides, the towns retreated quickly from Hedong, but now that they have retreated to Guanzhong, they will never retreat again.

Zhao Jiang was very worried in his heart, at this time, even if King Qin was unrivaled in the world and had 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, he was afraid that Tongzhou would not be so easy to break through.

But what he didn't know was that this problem was no longer a problem for Li Jing now.

During the period when Li Jing set off from Luoyang to the west to enter Guanzhong, the Qin army's three-way army did not waste time and missed the opportunity.

Lin Wei's southern expeditionary army stormed the two states of Shaanxi Town, where Henan, Jin and Shaanxi meet, and the forward soldiers and horses approached Tongguan, the eastern gate of the Guandong, several times. This made Li Quanzhong, the commander of Tongguan, have to defend Tongguan with heavy troops, and even Fengxiang, Jingyuan and other towns have to send troops to help. Li Quanzhong and the others shrank behind Tongguan and did not dare to go out of the pass, but Lin Wei in the eastern part of the country relied on 100,000 elites in his hands, and the east and north were already square territory. Can only barely hold on.

And Taishi Yu Xuan, the old man who has successively served as the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, the envoy of the Tiande Festival, the envoy of the Tianping Festival, etc., also did not live up to Li Jing's hopes. He only led 30,000 soldiers and horses out of Shuozhou and crossed the Great Wall. Entering the territory of the Zhenwu Army in the Hetao area, it was even smoother along the way. At that time, Helian Duo, the marshal of the Zhenwu Festival, and Bai Yicheng, the marshal of the Tiande Festival, were both subordinate to him, and Li Guochang, who had followed him from Tiande to Zhenwu, had successes one after another. Now. Yu Xuan, who attacked Zhenwu again, is still a treasure sword. It's just that many years have passed, and the former subordinates have become today's opponents.

With 10,000 elite cavalry, plus the Qin army's abundant firearms and ammunition, as well as the Qin army's cavalry's cross-era cavalry array charge tactics, as well as new tactics such as infantry, cavalry, and artillery coordinated operations, on the flat Hetao Plain, they defeated the Tuyuhun people's soldiers and horses who still relied on individual bravery and scattered charging and cavalry tactics.

Helian Duo and Bai Yicheng joined forces. The armies of the two towns faced Yu Xuan. As a result, three battles and three defeats. The defeat was miserable. The main force of the soldiers and horses in the two towns lost more than half of them, and they continued to retreat. All the way to Bai Yicheng's Western Surrender City. Zhenwu Army's Shan Yu Duhufu, the East Surrender City, the Middle Surrender City and many military towns and villages fell one after another.

Not long ago, Li Jing was greatly praised. And all of them were promoted to the rank of major general, Wang Yanzhang, Guo Wei and other seven major generals, in the replenishment of troops. After having 20,000 elites, he is even more fierce and ferocious. The Bao army was beaten even worse, and Tuoba Sigong led the difficult army to come to help, but under the brave attack of the seven young major generals, they came quickly and lost quickly.

Just as Li Jing crossed the river, Yu Xuan of the Northern Hetao and the major generals on the Loess Plateau finally beat their opponents and subdued them. Tuoba Sigong, Helian Duo, Bai Yicheng, Dongfang Kui, the four generals, saw the vigorous troops of the Chang'an Imperial Court out of the Guandong, and then immediately withdrew to Guanzhong in embarrassment, seeing Li Jing swallow almost all of the Guandong with the momentum of swallowing the whale, and slaughtered them into the Guanzhong, and beat them all over the ground to find teeth, they finally despaired.

The last bit of hard qi was swallowed into their stomachs along with the blood and the knocked out teeth.

In the end, the feudal towns of Zhenwu, Tiande, Baoda, and Dingnan, which had been defeated and had no power to fight back, finally bowed their arrogant heads to Li Jing and surrendered to the Qin army.

And now, Yu Xuan, the general of the expedition to the north, led the conquered Zhenwu Helianduo and Tiande Bai Yicheng to roll south, and the general of the expedition to the west, Wang Yanzhang, and the six major generals and brothers, also brought the surrendered Dingnan Tuoba Sigong and Baoda Dongfang Kui together, integrated the troops and horses, and turned south.

The urgent report on the military situation that Li Jing has just received is the latest good news from Major General Wang Yanzhang, who had gone south first, and they had already entered Tongzhou yesterday along the Beiluo River from Baoda's Danzhou. And they have bypassed Chengcheng, Haoyang, and Hexi, the first-line defense belt north of Pujin Pass, and directly copied to the rear of Pujin Pass, and appeared in Feng Yicheng in the same state. At this time, they were just west of Pujin Pass, only two hundred miles from the Yellow River.

Li Jing was in a good mood at this time, and he said to Zhao Jiang with a smile: "Our seven major generals have already surrounded Feng Yicheng in Tongzhou, and the general of the expedition to the north will also go south to reinforce later." However, Feng Yi and Pujin are now heavily guarded, which is a hard bone. We didn't have time to go into Hancheng to rest, so we immediately sent an order to go down, and the whole army marched quickly, and immediately went south to attack Fengyi, Hexi, Haoyang, and Chengcheng to the north of Pujin. Lonely, you have to personally cheer for the seven fierce generals! ”

"Ahh The four feudal towns of Zhenwu, Tiande, Baoda, and Dingnan have surrendered and annexed? Not only Zhao Jiang was surprised, but even Zhang Chengye, who had been standing aside, opened his mouth wide in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.

Baoda Town is also known as Weibei Jiedu, separated from Chang'an by a river, and Dingnan is in the north of Baoda, Zhenwu and Tiande are in the north of the Yellow River in the north of Dingnan Town. It can be said that these four feudal towns almost include most of the territory of Longdong in Guanzhong. The Hetao region, the Loess Plateau region, and the west bank of the Yellow River were all owned by the Qin Domain.

Guanzhong completely opened the door to the Qin Domain.

Even if Yang Fugong repelled the soldiers and horses of Sanchuan and held Chang'an. Even if Li Quanzhong could hold Tongguan and Pujin Pass, they were already doomed to failure.

After defeating and conquering the four towns, even if the Qin army could not take the east gate and east gate of the eastern part of the Kanto for a while, it could already detour from the northeast to enter the pass and go south.

In the Northern Rebellion of that era, Li Ke used his father Li Guochang to send troops from Zhenwu to cross the river to the south and attack Xiazhou, just to go south from the north and threaten Chang'an, the capital division. It's a pity that Li Guochang's strength was too weak at that time, and he couldn't even take a Tuoba Sigong, so let alone really threaten Chang'an.

But Qin Jun is different, what Li Guochang can't do, Li Jing has this strength.

Of course, with the current strength of the Qin army, after taking the four towns, there is no need to go south from the north so troublesomely. They have full strength, but they can first cover Pujin and Tongguan, and push all the way through.

Back in the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao, Han Sui and other allied forces in Guanzhong were against Cao, and they were also garrisons at Jiatong Pass at that time. Cao Cao was the main force at that time to confront Tongguan with the Guanzhong army, but secretly sent Xu Huang and Zhu Lingdu Pu Hanjin to base their camp in Hexi, and finally the sword went sideways, broke the danger of Tongguan, and defeated the Guanzhong army. At that time, Xu Huang said to Cao Cao, saying that the prime minister attacked Tongguan with heavy troops, but the thief did not know how to divide his troops to guard Pujin, so he knew that he had no plan. Cao Cao crossed from Tongguan to the north, then from Puhan to the West River, followed the river to the south of Yongdao, and broke the super army.

The current situation, the situation faced by the Qin army is far better than that of Cao Cao.

What Li Jing has to do now is to attract all the soldiers and horses from the towns of Guanzhong to Pujin and Tongguan in Tonghua Prefecture, gather them here in one fell swoop, and then Guanzhong will even take off the last piece of clothing, and it will be at his fingertips.

"Woooooooooooo ～～～”

The melodious sound of military trumpets continued to sound in the long marching procession, and the 50,000 guards of the Qin army continued to advance and turned southward!
