The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

This time, Silla sent out an army of 150,000, intending to directly attack the Dashi Dynasty, but the Dashi Dynasty had only 100,000 border troops in the northern barbarian land.

These 100,000 troops were formed after the former Daxi Imperial Guards and Daxi Zhenxi Army were reorganized. In addition to these 100,000 troops, there were also 10,000 Dayan troops.

The leading generals of this 100,000-man army were Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng, and all the middle and high-level generals of the entire army were from Dayan.

Although at the beginning, the entire army had some complaints about the generals of Dayan, and even some soldiers were undisciplined, but under the thundering methods of Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng, the army soon became obedient.

In addition, with the arrival of military supplies, gear and pay, the army was completely subdued.

Compared with the exploitation of them by Daxi, now that Jiang Fan is in charge of them, not only have their welfare benefits improved, but even their salaries are paid on time.

What do they join the army for? Isn't it just to have a bite to eat and to give their families a good life?

Not only are their days better now, but the ideological education that Jiang Fan has implemented for them has also brought about a qualitative change in this army.

They no longer worry about the fact that they are led by the Dayan people. After all, whether they are Dayan people or Daxi people, they are all Chinese people. They have the same ancestor!

Once this kind of awareness becomes popular in the military, the atmosphere in the military will change.

When they heard that the northern barbarian Silla Kingdom had unified the peninsula and began to march towards Daxi, they shared a common hatred for the enemy.

An army of one hundred thousand began to prepare for war. In addition to Silla, a Jurchen tribe also rose in the northern barbarian land at this time.

However, the Jurchen tribe came after the Northern Barbarians and did not border the Great Western Dynasty for the time being. After Silla unified the peninsula, it did not launch an attack on the Jurchen tribe.

In addition to the fact that the land occupied by the Jurchens was extremely dangerous, even Silla was unable to occupy it, and because the Jurchens were close to the northern Mongolian grasslands, the people in the tribe were good at riding and shooting, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

The Silla tribe did not dare to provoke them for the time being, but the Daeseong Dynasty, a country ruled by Confucianism, made them think of invading it.

After all, Confucianism emphasizes governing people with virtue and convincing people with reason. The policy of the Dashi Dynasty towards the northern barbarians was mainly to educate and tame them.

Every time, it was the Northern Barbarians who attacked, and in the end, they were defeated. There was no sign that the Great Western Dynasty would penetrate deep into the Northern Barbarians' land and destroy their Taoist lineage.

In addition to the fact that the northern barbarian land is covered with dense forests and located in an extremely cold place with few resources, the Great Western Emperor felt that it would be a waste of effort to conquer it, so he did not launch an attack on the northern barbarians.

It was also because the Dashi Dynasty had set its sights on invading Dayan, and a dynasty like Dayan, which was rich in resources and located in a fertile land, was its target.

Of course, the main reason is that the Emperor of Dashi wanted to unify China.

Unfortunately, Northern Mongolia was not strong enough. Not only did it fail to inflict heavy damage on Dayan, but it ended up living in peace with Dayan.

The officials and emperor of the Great Western Dynasty mocked the Northern Mongols countless times behind their backs. The people of the Great Western Dynasty did not know that in the eyes of the Northern Barbarians, the Great Western Dynasty was a cowardly and incompetent group.

Even the people in the northern barbarian lands felt that it was the Chinese who occupied their ancestors' territory, and that the Great Western Dynasty, and even the entire Chinese land, were once occupied by their ancestors.

The Chinese are just a branch of their nation. This idea is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the northern barbarians.

They launched wars several times, trying to invade China, also known as the Daxi Dynasty, but none of them succeeded in the end. They were almost beaten to death by Guan Yizhi!

It was precisely because they were driven into autism by Guan Yizhi that they finally allowed Silla to unify their four northern barbarian kingdoms.

Now that Silla has taken control of the entire peninsula and the northern barbarian lands, their ambitions can no longer be contained. They want to invade the Dashi Dynasty, destroy Dashi, and then destroy Dayan.

What they want in their hearts is to take back the Chinese land that their ancestors once occupied and enslave the Chinese people, whom they consider to be a branch ethnic group!

An army of 150,000 men marched straight to Youdu Prefecture, the border of the Northern Barbarians. This was the border between the Great Western Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians. The land occupied by the Great Western Dynasty was considered the tip of the border, and further down was the land occupied by Dayan.

The territory of Dayan was nearly twice as large as that of the Great Western Dynasty. It bordered the Northern Barbarians in the northwest, Dayan in the south, Liaoxia and Northern Mongolia in the west.

Liaoxia, Dayan and Daxi were connected at a place, which was very close to Jinzhou.

The idea of ​​the Silla army was actually very simple. They planned to capture Youdu Prefecture first, then move south along Youdu Prefecture and directly attack Dayan.

If possible, they were even prepared to seize part of Dayan's land first, and then turn around and nibble away at the entire Daxi Dynasty bit by bit.

Just when their army arrived at Youdu, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng, who were in Youdu, divided their troops into 80,000 and prepared to launch a counterattack against the Silla army.

At the same time, Jiang Fan sent a message back to Dayan, preparing to send another 30,000 troops to support Youdu's army.

Although Jiang Fan looked down upon the arrogant Silla people, he did not want them to cause him trouble at this time. It would be best if he could keep them out of the country first.

Jiang Fan's current focus is on developing the entire Daxi Dynasty. Especially after learning that the Liaoxi area is rich in mineral veins, Jiang Fan is even more delighted.

Moreover, in addition to the things happening in the Dashi Dynasty, the Japanese pirates are now extremely rampant, and Jiang Fan also wants to kill them.

It would be best to first solve the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast, and then solve the problem of those small countries around.

These Japanese are really disgusting, and the crimes they committed along the coastal areas are unforgivable.

The battle between Dashi and Beiman was only fought once, when the Beiman vanguard sent 10,000 people to try to pass through Youdu and cut off the Dashi army's rear.

However, they let the scouts sent by Niu Wu discover their intentions, and the 10,000 vanguard troops were annihilated by the Dashi Army at Tanggu Cape. Such a battle situation immediately frightened the northern barbarians of Silla.

The Silla army, which was approaching Youdu Prefecture, had to stay where it was and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

It was the terrifying combat power of the Dashi Army that reminded them of the fear of being dominated and beaten to death by Guan Yizhi before.

These northern barbarians are like this, they bully the weak and fear the strong. When you are strong, they will be so timid that they want to kneel down and lick you. When you are weak, they will always be thinking about biting you back.

After learning the battle report from the front line, the King of Silla immediately called off the offensive. It was not that he did not want to annex the Daeseong Dynasty, but he was simply powerless now.

He thought it would be an easy battle, but the record of 10,000 people being annihilated made him dare not try it again easily. He currently had only 200,000 troops at his disposal, and he sent out 150,000.

If these 150,000 people were killed, then Silla would probably be destroyed after unifying the northern barbarian land.

He knew that he could not invade Daxi at this time, so he made a prompt decision and withdrew the remaining 140,000 Silla troops back to Silla.

If he wants to seize the Great Western Dynasty now, he can only work hard to develop the national strength and the army. For at least a few years, he cannot set his sights on the Great Western Dynasty.

It was thought that the battle between Daxi and Beiman would start, but unexpectedly, it ended directly because of a great victory.
