The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 452 Liaoxia Jiang Zheng
Now, he has nailed the Dashi Army to the border of Dayan like a nail. He is waiting for an opportunity and saving himself!
On the other hand, Jiang Fan transported the captives of the Daxi Dynasty to mines in various places. He would not send these people back to the Daxi Dynasty for a while.
Even if they are to be sent back, they have to wait until Li Changle has pacified the situation in the Daxi Dynasty and ascended the throne of empress before other arrangements can be made. Otherwise, sending these people back will only cause more trouble for Li Changle.
After doing all this, Jiang Fan asked Chu Yan'er to take her two children back to the capital, while he himself led the 20,000-strong army of the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun and the 100,000-strong Zhoufu army and headed towards Weizhou Pass.
When they arrived in Jiangzhou, Jiang Fan met Li Yunzhuo and the five brothers of the Ning family. The troops in various places began to reorganize, and the five brothers of the Ning family began to return to Weizhou Pass.
The 120,000 troops they had, plus the 70,000 troops at Weizhou Pass and the 20,000 troops at Jinzhou Pass, a total of 210,000 troops, marched towards Weizhou Pass in a mighty force.
When the military intelligence reached Fangyuan City, Marquis Zhenxi thought for a long time, and finally had to abandon Fangyuan City and retreat back to the border of the Daxi Dynasty.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue occupying Fangyuan City, but occupying Fangyuan City will only lead to the destruction of his entire army.
Not to mention that Jiang Fan had an army of 210,000 at his disposal, even if they went deep into Dayan, their logistical supplies would not be able to keep up.
In addition, with the 5,000 men from Weizhou Pass at their side, they could pose a threat to them at any time, so they had no choice but to give up defending Fangyuan City.
Jiang Fan led an army of 210,000 to Weizhou Pass, and Weizhou Pass was once again completely under the control of Dayan.
Because of the loss of troops, the five brothers of the Ning family had to recruit soldiers from the vicinity of Weizhou in accordance with the instructions of the imperial court.
After Jiang Fan reorganized his army at Weizhou Pass for a period of time, he led his army to advance towards the Great Western Dynasty. In addition to the troops left at Weizhou Pass, Jiang Fan led an army of 140,000 and marched straight to the border of the Great Western Dynasty.
On the other side, in the Liaoxia Kingdom, the Sixth Prince Jiang Fan led an army of 150,000 and captured the Yingxia Kingdom in less than a month.
Jiang Zheng has gunpowder and new firearms, and his combat effectiveness is not something that a small country like Liaoxia can match.
The total military strength of Liaoxia was only 250,000, which was no match for Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng slaughtered the royal family of Liaoxia and took the throne.
Not long after he took the throne, he received the news that the Dashi Dynasty was defeated and nearly 300,000 troops were taken prisoner.
He sat on the dragon throne, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, with jealousy and murderous intent in his eyes. He had never imagined that the Daxi Dynasty and its army were so vulnerable.
He never expected that Guan Yizhi, known as the military god of the Great Western Dynasty, would be defeated by Jiang Fan so quickly. He originally thought that he would let the Great Western Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty lose both, and then find an opportunity to annex the two countries.
But now it seems that his plan has failed, at least, he cannot swallow up the Great Yan now. The Great Western Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, but the Great Yan was hardly affected.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The Daxi Dynasty is short of military strength now, so we can take this opportunity to capture them!" In the hall, several trusted ministers under Jiang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The other ministers followed suit, but those who surrendered from the Liaoxia Kingdom remained silent.
Jiang Zheng looked at the ministers below, with a look of pity in his eyes. The ones who asked him to send troops to Daxi were all his military generals. What he lacked were civil officials.
Although it is indeed a good opportunity to use military force against the Dashi Dynasty, war costs money, and the Liaoxia Kingdom has just been conquered and still needs people to govern it.
He was worried that if he sent troops at this time, it would cause instability in the internal affairs. He missed Fan Xian and other court officials at this time.
Thinking of Fan Xian and others, Jiang Zheng's eyes showed a strong anger. If Jiang Fan had not killed Fan Xian, Shi Wenzong and other former trusted ministers. Now, these people may come to him!
He used Liao and Xia countries as his foundation, and then slowly made plans for the Central Plains. His ambition to be king was just around the corner!
"Prime Minister Gan, what do you think?" Jiang Zheng did not answer the general's words, but looked at a Liaoxia official who was the first civil official in front of him and said.
This person is the head of the civil officials who have surrendered to him, and his name is Gan He. However, he rarely offers advice on his own initiative. Unless he asks! This guy is really cautious and self-sufficient.
"Your Majesty, I think... now is the right time to send troops. Right now, the only troops that the Great Western Dynasty can fight are the 150,000 Zhenxi Army of the Zhenxi Marquis."
"As for the provincial armies in various parts of the Great Western Dynasty, I'm afraid there are only about 100,000 of them added together. They are weak in combat and can't stand a single blow."
"Even if the 150,000-strong army of the Marquis of Zhenxi faces your Majesty's Firearms Wolf Division, they will probably be defeated. And the 100,000-strong imperial guards of the Great Western Dynasty in Shangjing are nothing to be afraid of. After all, we are not the only one who wants to take over the Great Western Dynasty. Therefore, the Great Western Dynasty! Can be taken over!"
Gan He bowed respectfully and spoke.
Following his voice, a group of young officials also echoed him.
Jiang Zheng heard this and looked at the other person deeply, his eyes flickering. This person's words really touched his heart. Not only did the generals want to take the opportunity to seize Daxi, but he was also tempted.
Although Dayan was not injured, Daxi was seriously injured. If we don't send troops at this time, if others take advantage of us, we will suffer a great loss!
"Moreover, as far as I know, the King of Qin of Great Yan seems to have the intention of conquering Great Western Regions. I'm afraid he can tie down the Zhenxi Army, which will be convenient for us..."
"Of course, Your Majesty must also pay attention to the Northern Barbarians. If they know that Daxi is short of troops, and if they head south, they may destroy Daxi and take it into their possession!"
Jiang Zheng nodded after hearing this. What the other party said was quite true. Although the northern barbarians in the northwest were beaten by Guan Yizhi and dared not show their heads, they also retreated back to the depths of the northern barbarians.
But if they react and find that the Great Western Dynasty is short of troops, they will definitely come back. Given the current situation of the Great Western Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
"Okay... then let's send troops to Daxi... organize the army immediately. Within ten days, I want to see you take over the Daxi border!" Jiang Zheng made the final decision.
In the court, the military generals had happy looks on their faces, while the civil officials had different expressions, neither happy nor sad!
These civil officials all surrendered from the Liaoxia Kingdom, and they did not have much sense of belonging to Jiang Zheng. If it were not for their lives, they would not surrender.
It was difficult to get them to work for Jiang Zheng loyally! But they didn't dare to sabotage him. After all, if Jiang Zheng was unhappy, they would die without knowing how.
In this way, of the 150,000 troops under Jiang Zheng's command, except for the 50,000 troops guarding Liaoxia, the remaining 100,000 troops, together with the 100,000 troops that surrendered from Liaoxia, marched towards the Daxi Dynasty.
Jiang Zheng's strategy this time is to seize the Great Western Dynasty. He is not in a hurry. He only needs to seize a part of the place first and seize the various resources there. Develop slowly and then slowly plan!
