The Eastern Qin soldiers, who won the surprise battle, were enthusiastic and their morale was greatly increased.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance, which lost the support of Shangyan State, was a little unstable, and seeing that Eastern Qin was dispatching troops and sending generals, and was ready to take the frost-free city, many people began to suggest that they should retreat into the Western Chu State, use the mountains as a barrier, and hold on.

Immediately, he sent envoys to the Southern Tang Dynasty again to try to persuade the Southern Tang to unite.

Only the Yunyu Kingdom still exists independently, as the puppet state of Eastern Qin, Eastern Qin does not need it to participate in the war for the time being, so as to keep it as a backup.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance knew the details of the Yunyu Kingdom, so they didn't waste time uniting it.

When the 30,000 elite troops of the Eastern Qin Dynasty successfully returned to the outside of the Frostless City, and after meeting with the original troops and the surrendered army of the Shangyan State, they rested and reorganized for a while, and then the troops were divided into three routes to prepare to attack the Frostless City.

Now the comparison of troops, the coalition army has 520,000, and the Eastern Qin army has 460,000.

It's just that the individual combat ability of the Eastern Qin soldiers and the comprehensive quality of the generals are far stronger than those of the coalition army.

Coupled with the comparison of the morale of the soldiers, it is also that the Eastern Qin is much stronger than the coalition army.

After a comprehensive comparison, Zhang Xiaoting and the generals discussed and unanimously approved the decision to attack.

As a result, the Eastern Qin army, under the leadership of the original Shangyan troops, divided into three routes and attacked from the east, south, and north!

Someone is leading, it is a familiar road.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance, which had no intention of resisting, only resisted a little when the Eastern Qin army first attacked from the south gate, and then retreated while fighting, and gradually retreated to the west.

When the eastern, southern, and western gates were breached, the forces of the Three Kingdoms Alliance had basically gathered to the west of Frost-Free City.

The west city gate was opened, and Wu Shangqing, the monarch of Zhongwu State, led hundreds of civil and military officials, under the escort of the army, sat in a carriage, loaded the treasury materials, and went out of the city first.

The army fought and withdrew, and it was also in order.

When the Eastern Qin army completely occupied Wushuang City, it was already an empty city with only a few people left.

After Zhang Xiaoting left a small number of troops to garrison, he continued to pursue closely to the west.

It was not until the coalition forces had already retreated into the Western Chu State that he gave the order to stop.

The Western Chu State is located in a mountainous area, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a cloud in the military book: "Don't enter the mountains!" ”

He also wanted to slowly digest the newly occupied Zhongwu State first, and then make the next strategic deployment after everything was straightened out.

At this moment, the pattern of the Ugu Continent has undergone a fundamental change.

The three small countries have basically fallen into the hands of the Eastern Qin, and the already powerful Eastern Qin State has now reached an unprecedented height in terms of land area, military and economic strength.

How long can the other three great powers that have lost their barriers hold on?

As a puppet country, where will the fate of the Cloud Feather Kingdom go?

Many people are thinking about these two questions.

This time, the Southern Tang Dynasty, who saw the situation clearly, finally agreed to unite with the coalition forces and prepare to fight together against the annexation plan of the Eastern Qin.

Fortunately, although Zhongwu has been lost, the strength of the army has not lost much.

The four countries are still a strong force together.

Mu Qianmei, who was in the Northern Han Dynasty, once again gathered at the headquarters of the beggar gang with Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo, talking about the world pattern of the Yugu Continent.

"What does the girl think of the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty now?" Ouyang Bo looked at Mu Qianmei and asked.

"The Eastern Qin Qi attacked the Shangyan Kingdom, the Northern Han Dynasty has not yet reacted, and the Shangyan Kingdom is gone, this is a profound lesson, the barrier is lost in a blink of an eye, and the situation of the Northern Han Dynasty is not very good!"

"Xichu is in the mountainous area, rich in products, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be safely held for the time being; The Southern Tang Dynasty is located in the vast grassland, animal husbandry is so developed, the army is mainly cavalry, and the battle is flexible, presumably the Eastern Qin will not move it for the time being! ”

"Only the Northern Han Dynasty is surrounded by the vast desert, there is no way to retreat, and the economy is supported by commerce, which may become the first consideration of the Eastern Qin!"

Mu Qianmei slowly analyzed while thinking about it.

"If you are the monarch of the Northern Han Kingdom, how will you defend it?" The old Taoist priest then asked.

Feng Tianyu also looked at Mu Qianmei with a curious expression, in addition to curiosity, there was also a faint look of expectation in his eyes.

"I think that the monarch of the Northern Han Dynasty should concentrate all his forces, with the capital Luoya City as the center, with the east and south as the focus, and fortify layer by layer in case of a sudden attack by Eastern Qin."

"Then we have to unite Western Chu and Southern Tang, the three major powers will form a front, joint defense, and be ready for emergency support at any time, no matter which country is attacked, it should fully cooperate to resist, only in this way can it be defended!"

"Of course, if these three big countries have enough courage, they should take the initiative to attack at any time when the defense is strong, and the so-called 'offense is the best defense!' It's better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively! ”

Mu Qianmei said her thoughts in an orderly manner.

Hearing this, the two old men couldn't help but nod and smile, with a look of appreciation.

Now they are rarely surprised, and too much surprise has made them accustomed to Mu Qianmei's earth-shattering words.

"Then if you are Dongqin, what will you do?" Feng Tianyu couldn't help but ask Mu Qianmei a question.

"Although Eastern Qin is powerful, it is not suitable to continue to fight right now, it should rest and recuperate for a while, digest the Shangyan Kingdom and Zhongwu Kingdom that have just been occupied, look at the entire continent, and redeploy!"

"For the Northern Han Dynasty, economic sanctions can be imposed, for a commercial power, the economy is its lifeblood, and controlling its economy is equivalent to seizing his lifeblood!"

"After controlling its economic lifeline, we can create some internal strife for it and decompose it from the inside, so that we can obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost!"

Mu Qianmei said while thinking.

After finishing speaking, she was afraid that they would ask him again, so she hurriedly asked Feng Tianyu a question:

"Old man, don't always ask me, as the leader of a gang, have you ever thought about how the beggar gang will develop in such an environment?"

After asking, she and the old Taoist priest both looked at Feng Tianyu expectantly.

"Our beggar gang is still following your previous ideas, regardless of whether it is a peaceful era or a war era, I have now also discovered that if we want to realize the grand desire of the beggar gang to become the largest gang in the world, economic development is the biggest foundation!"

"Of course, force is also indispensable, although there are many masters in our gang now, but the strength of most of the gang members who occupy the main position is still very low, and it needs to be improved as a whole!"

"Finally, the Lingyin Academy you founded, as you said, we must continue to open branch schools and train more scholars for the use of my beggar gang!"

"After these three things are developed, it is a management problem, it is not easy to develop the world's largest gang, and it is even more difficult to manage the world's largest gang, talent is very important, loyalty is more important!"

Feng Tianyu didn't hesitate to say all his thoughts, it seemed that this was exactly what he had been thinking about.

Before Mu Qianmei could speak, the old Taoist priest said with a smile:

"Huh...... I found that the old beggar spoke more and more in the tone and way of a little girl! I really can't see who you teach who now, isn't the little girl forced by the old man to read? How does it seem to be reversed now! ”

Feng Tianyu smiled and didn't argue.

Mu Qianmei hurriedly explained: "This is called the introduction of the master, the cultivation is personal, and the learning of literature and martial arts is taught by the teacher, this is the foundation, so the old man is always my teacher!" ”

The two old fellows laughed out loud with satisfaction.

After occupying Shangyan and Zhongwu, Eastern Qin temporarily halted its advance.

Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the rectification of Shangyan and Zhongwu.

Zhang Xiaoting dispersed a large number of troops to various places and made a gesture of no longer chasing after him.

In this regard, the Western Chu State did not relax its vigilance, especially the civil and military ministers and troops of the Central Wu State, like frightened birds, and with the heart of recovering the country, they paid special attention and attention to every move of the Eastern Qin.

When they knew that the Eastern Qin had dispersed their army, they were a little nervous, and many people proposed to kill the horse pistol, wanting to take advantage of the situation to recover the territory of Zhongwu, after all, it always makes people feel a lot of inconvenience under the fence.

However, the coalition generals were unanimously opposed, believing that it was no longer appropriate to continue the war.

And the Western Chu Kingdom, which is in the mountainous area, has suddenly increased so much burden, and it also feels a little heavy.

No matter how rich the product is, it can't withstand such consumption!

What's more, in the immediate aftermath of the war, the country's economy was also hit by a lot of shocks, spending was increasing, and the standard of living naturally had to drop a lot.

Although Zhongwu also brought a lot of baggage, after all, the people who fled here are all relatives of the emperor, civil and military officials, and they are used to living a luxurious life.

No matter how much wealth you have, how long can you last?

Dong Qin really turned his attention to the Northern Han Dynasty.

The Northern Han had little way out, relying only on prosperous commerce as a source of economic resources for their country.

As Mu Qianmei said, the Eastern Qin court also knew that the lifeblood of the Northern Han Dynasty, a commercial power, was the economy.

It is not wrong that their army has been dispersed, but it is also the focus of the deployment in the areas of Zhongwu and Shangyan, as long as the situation is urgent, at any time, within half a day, hundreds of thousands of troops can still be gathered.

In making such a gesture, the Eastern Qin Dynasty wanted to change its strategic approach and prepare to start economically and vigorously develop the commerce of Zhongwu and Shangyan.

The focus is on the barrier of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Yunshui City of the original Shangyan Kingdom.

Yunshui City is named Yunshui City because its waterways are very developed, and it has always been a key transit station for goods in and out of Luoya City.

Therefore, the former Shangyan Kingdom has also benefited a lot from this, and a large number of dart boards and docks in the country are the main logistics channels of Luoya City.

Now Shangyan belongs to Dongqin, and Dongqin has taken advantage of this to tightly control the logistics channel of Luoya City.

And a large number of domestic shops have been transferred here.

In this way, the situation of the dominance of Luoya City, the economic center of the Ugu Continent, can be lifted.

As a result, the Eastern Qin Dynasty vigorously developed the economy of Frost-Free City and Yunshui City, and transferred a large amount of commerce to these two cities, especially Yunshui City.

At the same time, all the national shops in Loya City were withdrawn.

However, after all, there are still two big countries in Western Chu and Southern Tang that are supporting, and the three big countries are all bordering, and they are connected in a line, and they can still support the economic situation of Luoya City for the time being, and it will not collapse immediately.

Although land transportation is not as convenient and developed as waterways, it is still difficult to maintain with horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation.

Mu Qianmei, who is in Luoya City, doesn't want her industry to be affected too much, Lingyin Academy has just been established, and the branch is also in preparation, which is the time when a lot of funds are needed.

However, the strange thing is that Dong Qin did not interfere with any of the industries of the beggar gang and let him develop freely.
