At the northern border of Anyang, Yan Zhengqing personally inspected the morale and armament status of each army. After the inspection and replenishment, he immediately ordered 200,000 troops to leave the border in an instant and rush to the north.
Taking advantage of the fact that the defense of Huaihua County of Cai State was empty and there were almost no troops, they captured Huaihua County in one fell swoop.
A few years ago, Beichen Yuqing led tens of thousands of Anyang elites to break through the border defense of Huaihua County; but at that time, Anyang was only a county and its strength was seriously insufficient. At that time, the Great Xia Kingdom was still there, and the eldest prince at that time just used 20,000 stones of "green food" to bury the last glimmer of life of the Great Xia Kingdom. Under various unfavorable circumstances, Anyang had to rob and withdraw from Huaihua County.
Today, Yan Zhengqing led 200,000 elite troops to enter Huaihua County again. This time, Anyang will not retreat again, but swallow Huaihua County in one gulp.
It is said that a long time ago, before the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom, about 3,000 years ago, there was another empire here. The later Cai Kingdom and Xia Kingdom were both new countries that grew up on the corpse of that ancient empire.
But when the Great Xia Kingdom and the State of Cai were fighting for supremacy, Anyang was divided into three parts. The Great Xia Kingdom only occupied a corner of Anyang, while most of Anyang was occupied by the State of Cai; and a part of Anyang was "returned" to the demon tribe. Originally, the ancient empire was very ambitious and extended its tentacles into the territory of the demon tribe.
After the new Great Xia Kingdom was stabilized, Anyang, which was only a small part, was not incorporated into the surrounding counties, but was retained. The intention was also obvious, that is, to vow to take back the Anyang part in the hands of the State of Cai. As a result, the small Anyang was the place with the most wars in the history of the Great Xia Kingdom. Unfortunately, until the end of the Great Xia Kingdom, it still did not get any advantage from the State of Cai.
When Yan Zhengqing stood on the border wall of the State of Cai again, his mood suddenly froze. Three years ago, his family was put into a prison van and sent to Anyang to be "beheaded"; at that time, all 176 members of the Yan family were in despair. Who would have thought that Anyang would risk offending the State of Cai, release all the members of the Yan family, and reuse Yan Ze'an and Yan Zhengqing.
Today, there are more than 176 people in the Yan family; but the pain of the past is still unforgettable and will never be forgotten.
Yan Zhengqing could not forget the people who insulted him along the way; these people forgot that it was the Yan family who pulled the decadent State of Cai back from the brink of death and saved the people from a life of displacement and selling their wives and children.
Now, standing on the land of the State of Cai once again, an irrepressible anger and sadness suddenly erupted. The eruption was so violent and so sudden that Yan Zhengqing's face showed a few traces of ferocity.
Seeing this, the captain of the guards next to him couldn't help but pull Yan Zhengqing's collar and said, "Marshal, everyone is waiting for your order."
Yan Zhengqing suddenly woke up and realized that he had been distracted. They were on the march and he was the commander. After re-adjusting his mood, Yan Zhengqing's eyes became much clearer. "Pass the order down, march quickly, and try to block the Kumuling Pass as soon as possible. During the march, the people must not be harassed. But anyone who dares to stop the army, anyone holding weapons, using magic, etc., will be treated as an enemy and killed without mercy. In addition, send all relevant teams, about 30,000 people, to destroy the administrative system of the State of Cai; immediately control all personnel, and kill those who resist without mercy."
