Chapter 692
On August [-]th in the sixth year of Taichu, Jiaxing was attacked by the Daxia Jiangdong Camp, and the generals of the Song Army Han Shizhong and Meng Gong only escaped with their lives.

On the [-]th, Xia Jun marched southward, pointing directly at Lin'an.

On the 21st, General Shi Wansui of the Xia Army successively defeated the opposition of the Song Army and came to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the 22nd, the main force of the Jiangdong camp arrived.The morale of the Song Army in Huzhou plummeted.

At the end of August, Wei Rui broke through Huzhou, and Yu Yunwen led the remnants of the Song army to retreat.

At this time, several soldiers of the Song Army were defeated one after another, Lin'an City was empty, and the other soldiers were all in the south, unable to face the threat of the Xia Army.

Zhao Yu, the leader of the Song Dynasty, sent envoys Li Guang and Han Tuozhou out of the city to beg for peace.

The news quickly spread to Jinling.

Wang Jing used Han Xizai, the censor of the right capital, as his envoy to discuss with Li Guang and Han Tuozhou about the compensation for land cession.

People are knives and I am fish.It was Song Jun at this time.

Neither Yu Yunwen nor Han Shizhong had the ability to support the overall situation with their own strength. Their abilities were limited. When the Song army was defeated one after another and Lin'an was at stake, even if they didn't want to, they could only sit back and negotiate.

As long as Song Jun can meet the conditions Xia Jun said, he will try his best to meet them.

Even if it was to cede the land near Lin'an, after Zhao Yan and Yu Yunwen discussed it, they gritted their teeth and agreed.

Since ancient times, the situation where ceding the land can give up the imperial capital is really unprecedented.

However, Yu Yunwen was already planning to expand southward, so he would not conflict with the Xia army for the time being, consolidate the foundation of the Song army, and slow down its development.

Both Huzhou and Jiaxing to the north of Lin'an have been lost, so Lin'an has become the food of other people's mouths, and they can eat it whenever they want.

Neither Yu Yunwen nor Zhao Yan could bear this situation of being controlled by others, so Yu Yunwen explained the truth, and Zhao Yan was depressed for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

"Alas... once the peace agreement is completed, Lin'an will become the land of the Xia army. When the news spreads, I don't know how the officials in the court and the people of the world will think of me! A lifetime of fame will be ruined!"

Li Guang, who was in charge of the peace negotiation, seemed to be ten years older after the contract was signed, and his spirits were a little sluggish.

At this time, both Li Guang and Han Tuozhou were in the Xia Army barracks outside Lin'an City.

That moment is exactly like this moment.

This kind of situation where the enemy army came to the capital, and the prime minister went out of the city to negotiate peace with the enemy army, is just like the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty in history... Fortunately, the Xia army is not the Jin army, and it is not so barbaric.

He didn't say anything about the conditions for pledging the wives and daughters of the concubine, princess and ministers as indemnities. Of course, if Wang Jing dared to raise this point, it is estimated that Zhao Wei and Yu Yunwen would die, and they would rather die than let Xia Jun pay the price. .

Compared with Zhao Guangyi's descendants, Zhao Yan, the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, has more violent blood in his blood.

"The current situation is like this, what can we do? Only by letting the Xia army retreat first, and giving the court time to recuperate, can the Song Dynasty rise again... Losing the north and making up for the south is a good strategy!"

Han Yuzhou said.

"North damage and south compensation..."

Hearing these four words, Li Guang's expression became complicated. In the history of the source world, when the Kingdom of Jin was about to be destroyed by repeated attacks by the Mongol Yuan, it was with the idea of ​​losing the north and making up for the south.

The north can't beat the Meng Yuan, so they want to invade the Song Dynasty in the south and seize the land in the south... Meng Gong and the Meng Yuan alliance to destroy the gold are also affected by this.

Now they, the Great Song Dynasty, have to learn from the Jin Kingdom in history.

Fortunately, there are few powerful enemies in the south of the Shenzhou world, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be destroyed.

After meeting and discussing with the envoys of the Song Dynasty, Han Xizai quickly delivered the contract text to Jinling by the fastest means.Waiting for Wang Jing's confirmation.

The terms of the contract are all favorable to Daxia.

After Wang Jing saw the contract, his face suddenly showed joy. This time, threatening Lin'an, and being able to take the land of Lin'an without attacking the city, is indeed the best way.

Allowing the Song Army to cede Lin'an will have a great blow to the Song Army's military strength and morale. In the future when they confront the Xia Army, the soldiers of the Song Army will think that their capital is ceded to the emperor, and their fighting spirit will drop a lot in an instant.

However, Zhao Yan and Yu Yunwen also put forward a condition that they could cede Lin'an, but the food, grass and military equipment in the city, as well as the people who followed them, had to be relocated.

Only one half-disabled city was left for Xia Jun.

Wang Jing had no objection to this point. The other party took the initiative to relocate officials, wealthy merchants, and common people, which happened to save Xia Jun from the effort of cleaning up.There are also those food, grass and military equipment, which are not lacking in Daxia.

"Yes, in this way, the war in the east will be subsided!"

Wang Jing's eyes fell on the map. Daxia's territory in the southeast is temporarily stopped in Lin'an. As for Wenzhou, Taizhou, Shaoxing and other places in the south, let Dasong manage it for a while.

After he resolves the threats from the north and west, he will send another army to the south, and he will naturally be able to take these territories into his pocket.

Wang Jing didn't do much in Jinling.

However, the important ministers of the three provinces and various ministries and departments are very busy, and the newly established provinces are waiting to be consolidated. The scholars who passed the Enke examination also went to work in various places under the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials.

Daxia's system is like vines and cobwebs, centering on Jinling, spreading and taking root in all directions.

Every day that passes, Daxia gains more roots in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Jing's eyes were mainly on Anqing and Xuzhou.

Xie An has already entered Xuzhou as an envoy, and I believe it will not take long for good news to come.

At this time, Xie An, who had been nagged by Wang Jing, had already entered Xuzhou with a scepter and was arranged in a posthouse.

There was a slight drizzle in Xuzhou, and the outside sky was a little dark. A few attendants came in and lit candles the size of a baby's arm in the hall, and the lights were brightly lit for a while.

Chen Gong closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

On both sides of the hall, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others sat on both sides, and there was a screen next to it. Behind the screen sat two figures. These two figures were graceful, and a little outline could be vaguely seen.

"Cao Cao defeated Gao Huan and chased him for two thousand miles... He will soon occupy the land of Qingxu, and poses a great threat to Xuzhou. We must have a way to deal with it!"

Chen Gong governed the people in Xuzhou and rectified the army. He wanted to strengthen Xuzhou's army, but Xuzhou was in an important place. Whether it was Cao Cao Gaohuan in the north or Wang Jing in the south, Xuzhou was not comparable.

Thinking of Wang Jing, Chen Gong couldn't help thinking of the time when he teamed up with soldiers from the Huai Army to deal with the soldiers of Western Chu.

At that time, Wang Jing's influence was not so great that he could not resist.

And Cao Cao!When he entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao defeated Zhu Wenwen, Zhao Kuangyin and others, and occupied Bianzhou... At this time, Cao Cao had faint signs of occupying Qingzhou.

The Xuzhou army is not an opponent either.

Sandwiched between the two powerful forces, Xuzhou has become a place where dragons are trapped, and because of Xuzhou's importance, both Wang Jing and Cao Cao will attack here in the future.

Now Wang Jing took the lead.

When Wang Jing's envoy entered the post house, he had already informed the core civil and military personnel of the Xuzhou Army about Xia Jun's intentions.This is why they gathered in the hall to discuss.

"Xie An is waiting for our reply, what's your opinion?"

Chen Gong opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice.

Gao Shun, Cao Xing and the others looked at each other. They were pure generals in the army and didn't know much about the general trend of the world.

But they can also see that the current situation in Xuzhou seems to be a bit bad.

After a while, Cao Xing replied: "The lord has not come for a long time among the last generals, and even if he came, I'm afraid it will not be able to match the millions of elites of Cao Cao and Xia's army... and the lord may not have the idea of ​​fighting for the world! "

"Since this is the case, we might as well choose one of them to go to, and when the lord arrives, we can also sit back and enjoy the wealth..."

As soon as Cao Xing said this, many generals in the hall suddenly buzzed.

Some people showed approval, while others were unwilling...

Cao Xing clearly supported defecting to Daxia, because of the grievances between Cao Cao and his lord Lu Bu, the Xuzhou army would never, and would not dare to defect to Cao Cao.

Lu Bu hasn't arrived yet, but his strength is definitely at the peak of the ninth rank. After he appears, if you know that your servants have defected to Cao Cao, you will definitely be furious, and then directly hold Fang Tian's painting halberd, and kill them all civil and military .

For a military commander at his peak, killing people couldn't be easier.

When they go out without the protection of the army, they kill people and leave, no one can catch up...

Of course this is just the worst outcome.

Chen Gong's eyes fell on Gao Shun with a questioning expression.

"The final general agrees with Cao Xing's words, but when negotiating with Daxia, you must first negotiate with them. The lord, the wife, and the young lady agree with each other in Xuzhou, and they must be canonized!"

Gao Shun said in a low voice.

After saying this, he continued to remain silent.

Chen Gong's eyes moved slightly, and he took a look at the civil and military personnel in the hall. Apart from him and Gao Shun, there is hardly a single high-ranking expert in the Xuzhou army.

With such a foundation, you still want to compete with Cao Wei and Da Xia for the world?Dreaming is not like this.

He sighed suddenly.

"What do you think Madam? As the two generals said, Xuzhou is in danger. If you don't go to Daxia, you will be threatened by Cao Cao..."

Chen Gong said softly.

A soft voice came from behind the screen, "Mr. is in charge of everything in Xuzhou. My wife and Ling'er have no objections. After Fengxian comes, I can understand Mr.'s painstaking efforts!"

This lady is not Diao Chan.

It was Lu Bu's wife, Yan Shi, and her daughter Lu Qiling.

They lived in seclusion in Xuzhou, mainly as a symbol, entrusting both civil and military power to Chen Gong and Gao Shun, that is to say, Chen Gong and Gao Shun had excellent personalities, if they were replaced by other people, their life would definitely not be so comfortable.

"Well, since Madam has no objection, then so be it!"

Chen Gong forcibly lifted his spirits, and said slowly.

……

On the wide river to the north of Anqing, two naval forces are confronting each other.

Hundreds of warships shuttled back and forth, and a large number of kerosene bombs and crossbows turned into a rain of fire, bombarding the enemy's warships.

At this moment in the water battle on the river, the Xia army's navy clearly had the upper hand. Da Xia had a five-toothed warship, as well as various sharp warships built by skilled craftsmen. The leader of the water battle was He Ruobi.

The deputy generals are Lin Renzhao and Lu Meng.

They are all good at water warfare. Under their command, hundreds of warships are like flooding dragons, rampaging ferocious monsters.

The Xiang Army who fought against them, although a bit bloody, had a bit of a dull fighting style.It was only thanks to the number of warships and a large number of soldiers that they could barely sustain the attack of Xia Jun's navy.

It is Zeng Guofan's limit to be able to support until now.

The army of the Manchu Qing period could not be compared with the elite Xia army at all.

Zeng Guofan didn't have many ninth-rank generals under his command, and the naval division of the Hunan Army showed signs of collapse within a few hours of the water battle.

"Kill! Don't leave Zeng Guofan!"

"dash forward!"

In the navy formation, Zhang Hao personally took a fast boat and went straight to the ship of the Hunan Army Navy.

Zhang Hao's breath was like that of a tiger, and his voice was like thunder, spreading everywhere.

When he was about to get close to the enemy's ship, he suddenly steered the stellar energy to roar up and bombard Zeng Guofan in the direction.

"Wind ban!"

Seeing this, Zeng Guofan immediately mobilized the power of his soul on the battleship of the Hunan Army, connected with the soldiers under his command, and drew their power through the air machine, and his own momentum suddenly increased.

He stretched out his finger, and Zhang Hao, who was jumping in the air, suddenly stopped, and the surrounding wind stopped flowing, like a prey caught in a spider's web.

Zhang Hao's fast boat also seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier and was blocked in the distance.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing this, the generals of the Hunan Army immediately shouted orders, and thousands of crossbowmen stood out from several warships not far away. The crossbows and arrows in their hands were stained with a faint blue light, which seemed to be able to pierce everything.

Zeng Guofan stretched out his hand again, and the crossbow arrows won the victory with his blessing.

Whoosh whoosh!
Crossbow arrows whizzed past all over the sky, immediately covering Zhang Hao.

Many crossbow arrows even pierced through Zhang Hao's body, almost shooting him into a hedgehog...

"How brave!"

Seeing this, He Ruobi, Lu Meng, and Yang Kan, who commanded the navy, showed anger on their faces. They all rode the wind and rose, and the sky suddenly changed color. Among them, He Ruobi stretched out his hand, and the endless wind and thunder turned into spears.

boom!
The spear tore through the sky, pierced the void, and accompanied by a sonic boom cloud, directly shattered Zeng Guofan's banning method.

The next moment, Zhang Hao's body fell.

With a wave of Lu Meng's hand, a column of water appeared on the surface of the water, like a wave, and brought Zhang Hao back to the warship.

With a sweeping glance, Zhang Hao was pierced by crossbow arrows except for his head which was subconsciously protected...

"Fortunately, nothing serious!"

Fortunately, Zhang Hao's aura didn't disappear. With the strong vitality of a ninth-rank general and Daxia's panacea, as long as he didn't die on the spot, he could heal any serious injuries.

Rumble!
At this time, He Ruobi and Yang Kan took action in person, and the commander of the navy tore through the blocking of the Hunan Army, and joined forces to beat Zeng Guofan until he vomited blood and fell.

Many generals of the Hunan Army came forward to resist, but were all beheaded by them...

Lin Renzhao took the opportunity to divide and encircle the naval forces, smashing the Hunan army's navy into pieces, and a large number of Hunan army warships began to flee.

lost!

There is no doubt that the Hunan Army was defeated.

Whether it is the strength of the generals, the elite level of the soldiers, or the strength of the two sides, the gap is very obvious.

Zeng Guofan is good at fortifying strongholds and fighting dumb battles.

This tactic is very good, and it is most suitable for civil servants to lead the army!But there is a very important premise, that is, one's own power must be better than the opponent's.

Only with an entire dynasty behind him as the foundation, and against an enemy whose strength is at a disadvantage on the separatist side, can he hurt people like this!
