The 200,000 Jingren officers and soldiers who were besieging Anzhou were under attack at this time, especially the uncooperative attitude of the local gentry, which made them feel a lot of danger, like a sharp edge on their backs.

In particular, the officers and soldiers from Xiaoshui, Baipu, and even Maoyun Province were in a dilemma.

Their hometowns have been thieves, and they themselves are still here to suppress bandits......

The officers and men at all levels were extremely confused, and the officers and troops of other provinces were also on guard against them.

Representatives of various forces came and went in and out of various military camps.

It also made the atmosphere of the various armies extremely abnormal!

Soon, the gazes of the Han troops looking at those Jingren banner soldiers became more and more strange.

Under such circumstances, the Jingren banner soldiers couldn't believe these Han troops at all, and even made a stupid move, intending to collect all the fog from the Han army troops to prevent them from rebelling.

So a rumor circulated among the various departments of the Han army, saying that the Jing people did not believe in the Han army, and planned to confiscate the weapons of the Han army, and then execute all Yunyun.

Such a ridiculous statement is impossible for anyone with a brain to know.

However, under the constant spread of panic, there are not many people who can still maintain their sanity.

Not to mention the big-headed soldiers of this era!

Riots soon broke out, after one of the king's men was assassinated. Immediately fire broke out and clashes broke out......

Under such circumstances, the army of the Sanyang Sect suddenly launched a surprise attack.

The fighting was chaotic, although some units remained neutral and barely tried to make peace.

But at such a time, it is impossible to go to the rescue, and the soldiers have no desire to fight, and they are all fighting on their own.

As a result, the army of nearly 200,000 bandits collapsed in this battle, and the various units withdrew from the battlefield and were defeated.

Officers and soldiers from Xiaoshui, Baipu, Mao'an and other provinces went to seek refuge in the rebel army of Wang Youxun and other commanders.

Some of the officers and soldiers in other provinces defected to the rebels, and some evacuated.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are scattered!

Moreover, he also let the rebel army and the army of the Sanyang Sect join forces and unite as one.

The entire hinterland of Middle-earth under the rule of the Jingren Imperial Court has been eroded!

At this time, Tao Xiaowu had already established himself as the king of Xi in Jian'an City, Jianyuan Hongwu.

The provinces south of the Great River surrendered without a fight, and they all surrendered to the Xi State regime.

For a time, Xi has occupied the entire land of wealth in the world, and the most important grain producing area.

With soldiers, money and food, everything seems to be going extremely smoothly, as if it can sweep the world at any time, or at least to be able to divide the south.

Under such a favorable situation, there were hardly any stubborn people in the entire south, and they surrendered one after another.

It can be said that Tao Xiaowu almost copied the tactics of the Heavenly Army of another world.

The difference is only in two points, one is that the Celestial Army started with Shinto, Shinto religion, and also engaged in foreign religions, which had a great conflict with Confucian consciousness and could not get the gentry and bureaucracy to take refuge.

And Tao Xiaowu, a Cihang real person, although he also started from Shinto, everything is according to the path of the Humanist Dynasty, and Shinto is only an auxiliary.

And in addition to playing the banner of respecting Confucianism early, he respected the interests of the gentry everywhere.

This has already bought off the gentry and bureaucracy everywhere.

The second is that the times are different, and when the Celestial Army started an incident, it was already after the great powers knocked on the door of the country with strong ships and cannons.

The great powers have great interests and constraints in various coastal areas.

Under the combination of the two, the Celestial Army could not monopolize the financial income of the south.

So much so that the great powers have always been able to support the Manchurians in terms of tariffs, arms, etc., hanging them in a breath, and finally dragging the heavenly army to death.

However, Tao Xiaowu did not exist in these two aspects, and in such an era, the Luo Pa powers did not enter.

Tao Xiaowu is still facing the traditional mode of competing for the world.

Although the soldiers and horses under his command are already a team of hot weapons!

So in a short period of time, the regime of Xiguo was stabilized.

Even the Sanyang Sect quickly accepted the leadership of King Xi and declared themselves vassals to King Xi.

In less than half a year, the power of the Xi State not only occupied the entire south, but also blossomed in the heart of the Jingren Imperial Court.

However, it was at this time that the first wave of the Jingren Imperial Court's rapid counterattack was estimated to be the craziest wave of counterattack.

The 300,000 Jingren troops came from the north and divided into two routes, all the way to Nanzhen, and went straight to the direction of Anzhou to deal with the men and horses of the Sanyang Sect.

The other went all the way to Yiyang, passed three passes, and then went straight to Yingzhou to deal with the Xiguo army.

Yingzhou is an important town, surrounded by rivers and many water systems, which is not conducive to the northern cavalry.

But the direction of Nanzhen is different, it can be described as a flat river, at most it is just some hilly areas.

But that's okay, there is another important town near Anzhou, which is Wannan.

This place is the boundary of Wanyang County in the Dayu era. Wanyang County was the first county in the world in the Dayu era, and the land of one county can be regarded as one other place and one state.

Therefore, the Marquis of Wanyang is also the most noble among the princes!

At this time, Wanyang County has already been divided into two provinces, Wanbei and Wannan, which belong to different two provinces.

This is the method of dividing the administrative regions of later generations, intertwined with dogs, checks and balances, and prevents rebellion.

Wannan belongs to Maoyun County, while Wanbei belongs to Tianzhong Province.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of Jingren pressed directly from Wanbei in Tianzhong Province and attacked Wannan.

However, the important town of Wannan is a famous Xiongguan town in the world, with mountains and rivers at its back, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Sanyang Sect retreated, and Wannan began to stalemate with the Jingren army.

The Jingren Imperial Court made a bloody investment this time, and brought hundreds of various siege cannons.

However, as I have said before, Jingren Cannon is inherited from the previous dynasty, and it was the wrong technology tree at the beginning.

In the former dynasty of Daqi, it was imitated from the naval guns on the Hongyi shipwreck salvaged from the water, which were simply naval guns, not siege guns, let alone field artillery.

In addition, two hundred years have passed, and the technology of these things has not advanced at all, and there has even been a regression.

So much so that each cannon weighs thousands of pounds and requires a lot of livestock manpower to carry it.

So much so that the artillery fell far behind the official brigade, and after almost half a month of besieging Wannan, these artillery finally arrived.

However, with these cannons erected under Wannan City, the entire Wannan City began to be in danger.

Just when the war near Maoyun was in danger, the entire Jian'an was in a hot state, and there were soldiers everywhere who came to catch the exam.

Because the first thing Tao Xiaowu did after taking Jian'an was to respect Confucianism, buy the hearts of the gentry and bureaucrats, and open up a branch to establish political power.

As a result, scholars from all over the south rushed one after another, and many scholars from the north were optimistic about the country, and they also secretly rushed to take the exam.
