Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 849

[Chapter 849 Good News]

“Millions of troops are wiped out. The powerful clans in Bacheng and the natives of the West know about it, and their expressions will definitely be wonderful, but it is a pity that they will not be able to see it with their own eyes.” Chang Wei turned his eyes to Bacheng and teased.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Xu laughed, “No matter what their expressions are now, in the end, this king will definitely make them cry.”

For his own selfishness, he did not hesitate to introduce foreign enemies, causing people to die. This is a national thief.

Only by killing can the hatred in his heart be relieved.

After inspecting Changcheng, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei returned to the government office.

The soldiers tidied up and cleaned it up, and it became a wartime command room.

Taking Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou, and destroying the million-strong army of the Shizu at the same time, this is indeed a phased victory.

However, it is still close to a complete victory.

Therefore, the two immediately discussed the next action.

“Shacheng goes south to Guizhou, and then detours to Yunzhou to attack Bazhou. This road is too dangerous, and it takes a big circle, and the Nanping army that defeated Yunzhou can reach Bazhou. It will waste too much time. .” Zhao Xu said.

Unlike contemporary times, the ancient natural environment is very good.

This has resulted in dense forests and swamps everywhere, and wild animals, poisonous insects in the mountains are rampant.

There is even miasma in some places.

But Guizhou and Yunzhou are the most such places.

The most important thing is that after this circle, the royal family’s troops will have to travel more than three thousand miles.

During this period, I am afraid that the non-combat attrition caused by the natural environment will be more than the number of people killed in war.

Therefore, this path must not be taken.

In this way, there are only two paths left.

One is to go upstream along the Yangtze River. This road is the most direct, but also the most dangerous.

Because the famous Three Gorges is located in the section from Xiangzhou to Bazhou.

It can be said that the mountain is steep, and the apes on both sides of the bank can’t stop crying.

As long as a few cannons are set up in dangerous places, the ships below can only be beaten.

This path can be tried, but it cannot be forced.

Then the only way they have left is to enter Yizhou from Jiameng Pass, and then attack Bacheng from Yizhou.

Yizhou Yimapingchuan is separated from Bacheng by a few mountains to the west.

You only need to get through the pass of the mountains to reach Bacheng.

Furthermore, Yizhou is also the fulcrum to pry open Yunzhou.

Enter Yunzhou from Yizhou.

Of course, there is another very important point, which is to win the last grain-producing area in Dasong and cut off the supply of grain and grass in Bazhou.

After that, even if the attack on Bacheng was frustrated, he only needed to take down Yunzhou and surround Bacheng until its food and grass were exhausted.

However, he believed that it would not be possible to reach this point.

The victory of Jiangxia and Changcheng not only made him, but also the generals and soldiers of the royal family have a clearer understanding of the current strength of the royal family.

Make them more confident.

It may not be that difficult for them to break through Yizhou and take down Bazhou and Yunzhou.

“So, for the current plan, we only need to leave 10,000 people to guard Shacheng and Changcheng, and the rest will cross the river to the north, detour through Jiameng Pass, and take Yizhou together with the Qin army.” Zhao Xu said.

As for attacking Bazhou upstream from Jiujiang, he plans to dispatch some marines to try.

Different from the training of the royal family’s pro-military, one of the daily training of the Marine Corps soldiers focuses on training.

This is water.

In the water, Marines are soldiers as nimble as fish.

Even if the warship sank, they had a higher chance of surviving than the soldiers of the royal family.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied yes.

Including the 10,000 people left in the three southeastern states, and the 10,000 people who have gone to Yuezhou and Guizhou.

They left 30,000 people in Jiangnan.

These 30,000 people are enough to deal with any emergency.

The two were talking, when a soldier walked in and handed a letter to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and smiled.

This letter was from Wang Chong, and in the letter, Wang Chong gave him a surprise.

It turned out that Li Wei, who was in charge of the electric power test, built the first generator at the same time as the Southward War started.

Afterwards, he followed the drawings and with the cooperation of the corresponding workshops, made the transformer.

Immediately, they will carry out thermal power generation test.

In the letter, Wang Chong also asked him if he wanted to personally participate.

For this matter, Zhao Xu naturally wanted to participate.

After all, this is a historic event.

Although this is only a test of thermal power generation, the door to the second industrial revolution, the electric revolution, has been opened.

From then on, Dasong will go from tying with the industry to achieve a super long-distance to the West.

“I want to go back. After you have dealt with the prisoners, lead your troops to Jiameng Pass. Then I will join you again.” Zhao Xu said.

There are too many prisoners caught this time, and it will take a lot of work to deal with them.

Otherwise, these people plan to cause chaos.

In the battle between Qin and Zhao, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops, not because of Bai Qi’s cruelty.

It’s because Bai Qi, an excellent general, knows very well that keeping these captives and feeding them is a heavy burden on logistics.

Regardless of them, these young adults who have nothing to eat can rebel in the rear at any time, so they simply killed them.

It’s just that he naturally doesn’t need to learn the method of Bai Qi.

For one thing, after the summer harvest, there will be plenty of grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River.

Secondly, the killing of so many young adults is Da Song’s loss.

At that time, Qin only needed to face the six countries, and did not need to consider threats outside the Central Plains, so it was natural to do so.

But what he wants is to try his best to preserve Da Song’s strength while fighting.

Therefore, when Chang Wei disposed of these captives, and then went north to reach Jiameng Pass, he also basically understood the next step of power development arrangements.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu returned to Yanzhou by steamboat the next day.

In three days, he returned to Yancheng.

At this time, the war between Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou also spread to Bacheng.

Hearing this news, Liang Kaizhen was like a thunderbolt ringing in his head, stayed for a cup of tea, and then burst into tears.

In the palace, whether it was Luther or Brooke, or Han Zheng, Wang Zi’an and Xie Duan, all of them were ashen-colored, like bean sprouts that had been sun-dried.

Especially Han Zheng, Wang Zi’an and Xie Duan.

Originally, they were going to Changcheng to supervise the battle. The three of them went to Shacheng from the mountain path, and then went to Changcheng from Shacheng.

But he didn’t expect to hear the news of Shacheng’s fall on the way.

Feeling that something was wrong, they immediately returned to Bacheng.

But in less than half a month, their million-strong army was gone.

This means that there is only a small Bazhou left in Wu State.

“Royal Father!” At this moment, Liang Kai’s crying stopped suddenly, and he fell off the chair, and passed out from crying.

Seeing this, Liang Feng rushed forward immediately.

The others also gathered around, fanning the wind, pinching the people among them.

After a long time, Liang Kaiyou woke up, looked at everyone, and said sadly: “It’s over, it’s over, we have nothing left, we can only nest in this little Bazhou and wait to die.”
