Dali, a satellite city.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Nianying, the leader of the [Xiao League] Alliance, hesitated a little and walked back and forth in the room.

The Great Xia Dynasty was in conflict with the [Yanhuang League], Xiao Nianying originally just had the intention of watching the excitement, where did he think that there would be a day when he would be involved in this battle.

In the face of the pressure from the families of Di Chen and others, it was impossible for the Xiao family to remain indifferent.

"The favors owed must be repaid after all."

Xiao Nianying sighed slightly, and remembered the words in Emperor Chen's letter. Emperor Wen of Sui entered Quanzhou, and within a few days, he was seized by Daxia and attacked the Quanzhou Satellite Town Shouguild [Streamer Pavilion].

One of the top ten guilds, pitifully played by Ouyang Shuo between applause, turning clouds and rain.

The miserable end of the old lord of the former pavilion made Xiao Nianying shudder, and when she thought of this, Xiao Nianying finally made up her mind, "I can't say it, I'm going to have a good fight!" ”

Northern Sichuan Province, Fenggang City.

When the Ximen official received Chunshenjun's secret letter, he sneered, tore the letter to pieces, and said playfully: "Do you still want us to be substitutes for the dead ghosts?" Think of it beautifully. ”

Regarding the style of the [Yanhuang League], the Ximen officials are more and more disdainful, and a group of guys who can only fight among themselves make the Ximen officials ashamed to be with them.

Although he was born in a family, he did not necessarily stand in the [Yanhuang League], let alone be easily bought by Di Chen and others, but had his own interests and judgments.

"Earth Online" is profoundly changing the old pattern of interests, and a group of upstarts have emerged. At this time, it is the opportunity for the rise of small and medium-sized families.

Thinking of this, the Ximen official inadvertently swept over the other secret letter on the case, and the signature was "how can it be said that there is no clothes", his eyes flashed, he made up his mind, and muttered to himself: "It's time to make a choice!" ”

Shonan Province, Caiyun City.

Caiyun Zhinan also received a secret letter from Chun Shenjun, and his face was cloudy.

During this time, a lot of major events happened in the wilderness, and the internal turmoil of the [Shonan City-State] was also continuous, and the current life of Caiyun Zhinan in the [Shonan City-State] was not easy.

The root cause of this lies in the incident in November last year.

On that day, Ouyang Shuo signed a trade agreement with the two major city-states in Sanjiang Town, but he never thought that something would happen in the middle, and the lord of the [Xiangnan City-State] Lin Yan intended to assassinate Fan Li, and was taken by Ouyang Shuo.

When Caiyun Zhinan saw it, not only did he not rescue Lin Yan, but afterwards he was obsessed and annexed the Burning City in one fell swoop, opening the prelude to the expansion of Caiyun City within the city-state.

Today, Caiyun City has possessed two counties in southern Hunan Province.

The impact of such actions is really bad, and the reputation of Caiyun Nan within the city-state has plummeted, coupled with the promotion of Shanhaiwei, Caiyun Nan's reputation is completely stinky.

Because at this time, Caiyun Zhinan was also estranged from Zhang Liang, the chief strategist under his command. The merger strategy was put forward by Zhang Liang, and now that something has happened, this pot should naturally be borne by Zhang Liang.

As everyone knows, it is not Zhang Liang's strategy that has harmed the south of Caiyun to this day, but his own greed. No matter how good the strategy is, it is out of shape in the implementation process, and the strategists are helpless.

Fortunately, Caiyun City, which has two counties, is still the strongest territory of the [Shonan City-State].

"There's no way back, am I?"

A fierce light flashed in Caiyun Zhinan's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shudi, Qiang County.

As the largest gathering place of Qiang tribes, there are 200 Qiang tribes of all sizes living in Qiang County, with a population of one million, but they rarely have contact with the outside world until the Bactria delegation enters Qiang County.

That was before the establishment of the Great Xia, in order to complete the task of establishing the country, Ouyang Shuo sent an envoy into the Qiang County to try to persuade the Qiang people to join the Great Xia.

Although the appearance of the underground remnants slightly disrupted Ouyang Shuo's layout of the Qiang tribe, Great Xia never gave up the wooing and assistance to the Qiang tribe, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

With the successful implementation of racial equality policies, the Qiang people have a favorable opinion of Bactria .

In the past few months, according to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, countless Qiang people's scarce materials such as grain, salt, pig iron, and weapons have been quietly sent into Qiang County from Gangcheng, worth more than one million gold coins.

In this way, the Qiang people gradually returned to their hearts.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo really has to thank the Swordsman City, they occupy the geographical advantage and are close to the water, but because they have no intention of tyrannical industry, they are unwilling to spend food and grass materials to win over the Qiang people.

The other lords of Shu wanted to win over but didn't have that strength, so it was cheaper for Great Xia, and after the barbarians, Li tribes and Gaoshan tribes, they had another strong race.

The Qiang are an ancient ethnic group in western China, calling themselves "Rimai" and "Erma", known as "the people on the clouds", and there are many branches in history.

The two most famous branches, one is in Western Xia, and the other is in Shu Qiang County.

One branch of Western Xia was the party Xiangqiang, the founding emperor Li Yuanhao, that is, Tuoba Yuanhao. This Qiang tribe will not officially join the game until after the end of the Song Dynasty campaign.

One of the Shu land is the ancient Qiang of Bashu, from Diqiang, the first king is called Silkworm Cong, also known as Silkworm Cong, the former residence of Silkworm Tomb. In Li Bai's "Shu Road Difficulty", "silkworms and fish, how blank is the founding of the country", refers to the same region.

On this day, hundreds of tribal leaders gathered in Silkworm Tomb.

One of them, with a burly figure, bulging muscles, long hair and a shawl, a full beard, a horizontal face, and a fierce aura exuding from his body, was none other than Fu Yang, the leader of the Silkworm Tribe.

There were more than 60,000 of the most elite Qiang warriors standing in the square outside, all wearing Tang swords at their waists, wearing armor, holding spears or shields, and carrying longbows on their backs, all equipped with the same equipment as the soldiers of the Great Xia Army.

It looks like the array is quite orderly, and it is very different from the stragglers in the impression.

In the meeting hall, Fu Yang raised a wooden cup full of wine, looked around at the tribal leaders present, and said loudly: "Everyone, the opportunity for our Qiang people to make meritorious contributions has come!" ”

"Hula!"

Hundreds of leaders raised their glasses in unison, and the scene was spectacular.

Fu Yang said: "We Qiang people are all real men, and we know how to repay our kindness. Great Xia subsidized us and brought us precious grain, salt, pig iron and weapons, should we repay such kindness? ”

"Yes!" The crowd please boil.

"Good!" Fu Yang waved his hand vigorously, "Take your sons to the battlefield, King Xia said, if this battle is won, Qiang County will be officially included in the rule, and life will be several times better than now." ”

"Hula!"

Another cheer.

Outside the square, there was a roar like a tsunami.

"Hula! Hula! Hula! ”

The howl will eventually pierce the mountains, cross the rivers, and shake the wilderness.

************

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's September.

In the past few days, both the [Shanhai League] and the [Yanhuang League] have been frequently mobilizing troops and assembling at the border. There are countless grain and grass materials accompanying the trip, and there is an endless stream of grain trucks.

By 1 September, the troop movements were finally in place.

The 3rd and 5th legions of the Great Xia Longxiang Army were stationed in Dongchuan County, and the 2nd and 4th legions had already arrived in Gangcheng. Monologue led the First Legion to be stationed in Lingxi City, sitting far away.

The bustling wilderness suddenly fell silent, and everyone knew that it was the calm before the storm.

On this day, the outside world still couldn't guess who Great Xia was going to fight, and the entire wilderness was watching how Great Xia would fight the first battle, and where to fight the first battle.

The tension pervades the entire wilderness, suffocating.

…………

September 2, Steel City.

The meandering Jinsha River rushes endlessly, Rao City passes.

With the landing of a large number of industrial plants such as steel mills, arsenals, mimic aircraft manufacturing bases, artillery manufacturing bases, and steam engine manufacturing bases, this city is becoming more and more worthy of its name.

Inside and outside the city, regardless of daytime, the roar of all kinds of machinery is endless.

Further in the mountains, iron ore and coal mines, with the help of steam engines, greatly improved the efficiency of mining, and a steady stream of iron ore and coal was transported to steel mills and coking coal factories on the outskirts of the city.

On the Jinsha River, there was an endless stream of ships, transporting industrial products such as steel, steam engines, looms, and artillery produced in the steel city to all parts of the dynasty.

In the background of ancient games, it is a miracle to see such an industrialized city, and the steel city has gradually become a microcosm and incubation base for the industrialization of Great Xia.

According to the plan of the Industrial Administration, it is planned to build a railway between the largest iron ore mine in the steel city and the largest steel mill before the end of the year, which will also be the first railway in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It costs a lot of money to build the railway, and the upfront budget alone is 500,000 gold coins. At the same time, the research and development of steam locomotives has also been included in the key research projects of the Industrial Administration.

The sprout of industry is quietly blooming in the territory of Great Xia.

…………

On the northern outskirts of Gangcheng, a large military camp was temporarily built.

The Second and Fourth Legions of the Longxiang Army were stationed here, and near the barracks were huge warehouses with mountains of grain and grass materials.

These grains and grass materials were prepared by the Privy Council War Readiness Administration from the nearest southern Sichuan Province, and were transported here one by one by taking the Jinsha River waterway.

The purpose is naturally to cover up his whereabouts, so as not to be detected by Swordsman City in advance.

Not far from the barracks is a parking field, surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, and it is impossible to see what is going on inside. There are hundreds of mimic aircraft parked in the airport, ready to go.

When outsiders see it, they must be shocked. No one can imagine the lethal effect of a vehicle of this magnitude being put on the battlefield at the same time. A mimic aircraft of this scale is the highest crystallization of the industrialization of Steel City, and it is also a trump card in the battle of Great Xia.

Two legions, the second legion is in the west, and the commander of the corps is the famous future protector of the Sui Dynasty who has just taken office; The Fourth Army was in the east, and the commander of the corps was General Luo Shixin.

Speaking of which, the two generals of the Sui Dynasty still intersected. This time, Lai Hu'er was appointed as the left forward, and Luo Shixin was appointed as the right forward, and together they formed the vanguard of Great Xia.

On the morning of this day, the two armies set off at the same time, divided into two routes, and attacked Jiangyang County.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
