Wangjing, the capital of Yun Kingdom, is said to have been established by a deposed prince from a previous dynasty in the Great Xia region.
At that time, the location of Yunguo was a deserted land.
Until a long time later, all kinds of criminals, farmers fleeing famine, and all kinds of people formed a country in that area, and Wangjing became the imperial capital.
After that, the people of that country merged with the aborigines in the south and established the predecessor of the Chen country.
The original Hao Kingdom was established by an army and aborigines who fled from the previous dynasty where Daxia was located.
Later, Daxia replaced the previous dynasty, and Yunguo also killed all the royal family of the previous dynasty.
The Gu Clan overthrew the Kingdom of Hao.
This change of dynasty finally formed the current situation.
Wangjing was considered a super city in this era, with a population of over one million, and businessmen from all over the world gathered here.
Even some businessmen in Daxia said that Wangjing is more popular than the imperial capital of Daxia. At least it wasn't that dull.
The most famous thing in Wangjing is the flower boats on the Sanhua River. Hundreds of giant boats on the mighty river are brightly lit all night, silk bamboo and laughter come straight to the shore, and every place is a gold-selling cave.
The second is the east of the city. The smaller half of the city is full of various shops, and businessmen from various countries come and go, and even people from the sea come to purchase.
Prosperity, drunkenness, luxury and luxury, this is the evaluation that everyone who has been to Wangjing will give.
There is even a son of the island owner who came to Wangjing and never wanted to go back. He even gave up his position as the island owner just to enjoy himself here for the rest of his life.
There is also Chen Guo's envoy who has not changed for decades. The king of Chen Guo once asked him if he wanted to go back to his hometown, but he replied: "I would like to stay here forever!"
From these two incidents, we can get a general idea of Wangjing.
A place that is truly addictive.
However, the atmosphere in Wangjing has changed somewhat these days. In the past, the lingering sounds of musical instruments like lovers whispering on the flower boats were less, and more drums and shamisen sounded, adding a lot of murderous air.
In the past, those smug and jealous buddies no longer discussed romantic affairs, but instead discussed military affairs.
Yunguo's attack on Dayao this time was considered by the people of Yunguo as revenge for the country that was almost wiped out decades ago.
Although these young people have not experienced the original scene, they all think it is a shame.
Now raising troops to attack is just a matter of revitalizing the country's prestige and revenge.
One by one, they were discussing with great interest, when will they be able to break into Dayao.
A blind musician in a flower boat shook his head in his heart, he didn't understand those important national affairs, but he knew that these young masters and buddies looked down on Dayao too much.
He doesn't know much about Dayao, but he has lived from that time until now. At that time, he was not blind, and he saw the horror of those barbarians with his own eyes.
Not only on the flower boats, but also in the streets and alleys, among merchants, there are many people discussing this war.
The country of Yun has been peaceful for too long, and this time the troops are sent to attack the "enemy" who almost destroyed the country of Yun. Most people in Wangjing are focusing on this war.
There are also people who are keenly aware that there is an undercurrent surging in Yunguo.
Or someone noticed it a year ago, or even longer.
That's why a few members of the Zhang family took advantage of the closure of the shop and went to Lancheng to look for opportunities to connect with Dayao. Unfortunately, the ancient clan's rejection of foreign clans was still serious.
Although there were foreigners who were chosen as husbands by the empress, they still didn't find any opportunities. They almost walked through the mansions of the people in the court with gifts. He was kicked out by the porter when he couldn't see it.
Ordinary people in Wangjing only know that there is a war, that it is Dayao, and everyone is looking forward to the good news.
What they don't know is that the Zhenxi Army has sent seven copies in a row in a short period of time.
Three of the statements strongly suggested the withdrawal of troops, but they were all suppressed.
The next four papers are about asking for money, food, people, ordnance.
The first three papers are all about the truth, and the last four papers are to know that everyone in the court has made a decision, so they try to increase their chances of winning.
"Want to transfer the Dingbei Army to the west? Isn't it enough for him to have 400,000 troops now? There is also the newly developed box crossbow. Facing 15,000 barbarians, he still needs people?" More than one person saw Zhenxi After the booklet sent by the army, I felt incredible.
With 400,000 people, even one person can destroy Sanxi City by urinating.
What's more, Dingbei Army still has other uses, taking advantage of the opportunity of attacking Dayao, and taking back the power of those city lords, how could it be possible to send Dingbei Army to the west.
"Tell him that at least the battle will progress before any other reinforcements will be dispatched."
The people of the Zhenxi Army broke their legs running in Wangjing, and in the end they only got another 20 box crossbows, plus the previous ones already had a total of 60, and each one can fire 132 crossbows in one round. The latest ordnance developed by Yun Nation.
The people of the Zhenxi Army walked out of the yamen, spitting unwillingly, and had to go back to report to the commander, cursing.
These bastards!
400,000 troops? Those city lord coalition forces have a fart.
The ones who are really useful are the 180,000 soldiers of their Zhenxi Army.
But now it's time to attack the city! Those 15,000 barbarians can at least serve as an army of 150,000. Even fools know that attacking the city requires at least several times the strength of the troops. Now that the ratio of military strength is almost one to one to attack the city, even if the Zhenxi Army is bleeding dry, it may not be able to take down Sanxi City.
After receiving the news, Zhu Wuzhen meditated all night and wrote another letter.
"There is a saying in the art of war, ten times to encircle it, five times to attack it, and two times to divide it... A month ago, Daxia surrounded Ping and Shun cities, surrounded them but did not attack them, and the strange soldiers went straight in..."
First, let's explain the art of war, but this time it's not about ordering the Northern Army, but about continuing to send reinforcements from the cities.
In his letter, he first stated that it is impossible to attack Sanxi City with the current force.
Even Daxia's 700,000 troops besieged Pingcheng and Shuncheng without attacking them, let alone the Zhenxi army.
Since the Dingbei Army cannot be dispatched, the cities must continue to send reinforcements. With at least another 200,000 reinforcements, he can besiege Sanxi City and send some of his troops straight to Dayao. If Sanxi City sent troops to rescue, then it would be exactly what they wanted. Whether it was besieging and killing the separated troops, or continuing to attack Sanxi City, the desired effect could be achieved.
Can advance or retreat, in an invincible position.
If Sanxi City does not send troops to attack, then it will be the same as Daxia, focusing on destroying Dayao's fields and villages.
If the fields and pastures in the north and most of the east are destroyed, Dayao's harvest this year can be imagined.
When Chen Guo sent troops again, he was flanked by several sides, with soldiers on the outside and disasters on the inside, Dayao naturally couldn't hold on.
Since the troops of each city were united, the combat power would decrease, so most of the city lord's troops were scattered into Dayao, and the military merits were calculated according to killing the enemy if the head was captured.
Even civilians are counted as ancient soldiers.
For Zhu Wuzhen, this is the best method currently available. Since the court doesn't want to send out the Dingbei Army and is all focused on those city lords, then I will help them.
Throwing 300,000 city lord coalition troops into Dayao, even 300,000 ants can kill a few people, let alone 300,000 troops.
At that time, each city will act on its own, and it will avoid the result that the combat power of gathering together will not rise but fall.
Civilians also count military merits, so there is no need to worry about them not working hard.
It would be best for them to lure out the soldiers of the ancient clan in Sanxi City, if they can't, they can cause a lot of trouble for Dayao. As I said, as long as Dayao's fields are destroyed, what can be seen is that Dayao will definitely have a famine this year.
The military disaster and the famine are together, even if the Yun Kingdom cannot defeat it, it will not be defeated.
Even if there is no victory on the battlefield, as long as Dayao can be dragged down, he is still victorious.
What Daxia didn't finish, he continued to do.
He used Wu Shenghou's method to bully Dayao with few people. No matter how strong the army is, there are only so many troops. As long as they attack more, they can make the opponent lose sight of one thing and reveal their flaws.
Now that the court is thinking about how to weaken the cities, Zhu Wuzhen's request at this time can be said to be in line with the wishes of everyone in the court.
The result was just as he had imagined, even if the court agreed.
When Zhu Wuzhen heard the news of the court's agreement, he didn't feel any joy at all, but was just tired.
