The Lushan League was the beginning of Qin's great victory and Yuan Wu's use of resources from the Eight Realms to shock the world.
Yuan Wu unleashed his sword on Lushan, and cut off the peak of the opposite mountain with one sword.
The Pingdingshan on the opposite side later became the fortress of the Qin army, like a huge watchtower, overlooking the vast territory of Yan, Chu, and Qi.
This was originally the intersection of the four dynasties. The Great Chu Dynasty, the most powerful among Chu, Yan, and Qi in the past, has been torn apart. Too much of a threat.
So the Qin army on this mountain naturally focused on Yan and Qi.
All the Qin troops stationed above were silent that day.
On the horizon they faced, chariots, heavy cavalry, chariots, and herds of dragging beasts were constantly appearing... These all meant powerful heavy-duty symbols and practitioners.
These things were black spots at first, but more and more appeared in their line of sight, and finally turned into a tide spreading across the entire horizon.
The most important thing is that the tides that spread in Yan and Qi are all connected together, like two torrents converging, and they are all flowing towards Qin.
The coalition of Yan and Qi dynasties dates back to the last time, which was more than 70 years ago.
After more than seventy years, the two dynasties have joined forces again, and the army is showing a tendency to go all out. How can it not be shocking
From noon to evening, these Qin soldiers silently watched the troops spreading from Yan and Qi, but they hadn't seen the end of the line.
When the night began to darken, countless torches were lit on the mountain, and some talismans continuously threw flames into the sky. Under the illumination of these flames, the black vanguard army had already arrived in front of the mountain.
"For Daqin!"
The general of the Qin army on the mountain clenched the sword in his hand and let out a sharp shout.
Countless screams rang out, and were instantly drowned out by denser sounds of piercing through the air.
In the dark night, the Yan and Qi coalition forces that still spread like a tide flooded this mountain, and then flooded Lushan.
In the thirteenth year of Yuanwu, it was late autumn and winter.
It was already not conducive to marching and fighting, but the coalition forces of the Yan and Qi dynasties raised millions of troops each, gathered countless practitioners, and surrounded the armies of small countries and tribes outside the Qin border, forming the largest number in the past few decades. An army that can only be described as a giant invaded from Lushan and launched a fierce attack on the Great Qin Dynasty.
In less than ten days, the three counties of Qin were defeated, and Zhongshan County, the most important county in the northwest of the Great Qin Dynasty, was occupied.
This Zhongshan County was originally a vassal state of the Zhao Dynasty. Once the territory from Zhongshan County to the border of Yan and Qi is lost, it is equivalent to the Zhao land occupied by Qin after the Zhao Dynasty was destroyed. One third of it has been lost and fell to Yan. , Qi hand.
Originally, there were a large number of Zhao survivors in Zhao who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Yan and Qi armies won successive victories, and many clans in Zhao also turned their backs. Before the Yan and Qi armies arrived, wars broke out in many counties and counties. control.
The Qin army has never been afraid of powerful enemies, but facing this coalition army that can only be described as a colossus, even the most fearless and experienced generals of the Qin army do not know what to rely on to win.
The Qin army was able to mobilize only hundreds of thousands of troops between Zhongshan County and Changling, and these Qin troops were not in the best condition.
There are hundreds of thousands of Qin troops like this, but their opponents are more than two million elite troops of Yan and Qi. The proportion of practitioners is astonishing. The tribes, the anti-Qin clans in various places, and the allied forces of nobles are even close to the number of troops that the Qin army can mobilize.
The ratio between the enemy and the enemy has reached more than five to one. In the battle of tens of thousands of troops against tens of thousands of troops, there is still a possibility of victory, but in such a series of battles, at least in all historical records, there is no such thing as An example of such an underdog winning.
…
In a palace in Guanzhong, there are several paulownia trees over 500 years old.
The paulownia tree itself grows extremely fast, and after decades of rapid growth, it can grow to the extent that several people can surround it. However, because it grows too fast, the canopy is too big to attract the wind, and the roots do not penetrate deep into the soil, so it is often destroyed by strong winds.
If this kind of tree, which is five hundred years old, can survive, it will naturally be terrifyingly large.
Or it could be considered a miracle.
But is there really a miracle
At this time, Emperor Yuanwu, who was wearing a very casual ordinary coarse cloth robe and standing under the tree, knew very well that this so-called miracle originated from a certain emperor who planted this tree five hundred years ago.
When the tree had just grown to the thickness of the two people's encirclement, those courtiers who flattered them had already tried their best to introduce the root system of the tree deeper into the ground. To this day, there are still dozens of iron cables in this underground place. The stone magic circle binds the central root systems of these big trees, and some medicinal soil that can make the trees invincible to insects continues to work.
In the eyes of many people in the world, if Qin wanted to stop the Yan and Qi allied forces from entering the pass from Zhao, he had to wait for a miracle to happen.
But for him, there are no miracles, only human affairs.
There are gorgeous chariots coming to this palace.
The mistress of Changling walked into the palace alone, and walked into his sight on the stone path covered with huge dead leaves.
Some of the yellow leaves left on the branches of these huge paulownia trees began to tremble, exuding an inexplicable silver flame.
"You're here after all."
Looking at this cold but still perfect woman, Yuan Wu smiled gently and emotionally.
Zheng Xiu looked at the emperor who pretended not to see the white hair under her gorgeous crown, and responded indifferently: "It's just because of the situation, it doesn't mean I don't hate you."
Yuan Wu didn't care, and still smiled and said: "But after all, we are really joining forces... Until that day when Changling's great changes began, you and I have never really joined forces again."
"I need all your UFO ships." Zheng Xiu said coldly and directly, without recalling the emotion in his tone.
"Two fairy lotus seeds." Yuan Wu restrained his smile, looked at her and said, "Not only I want to use, but also Xu Fu."
Zheng Xiu nodded, "I'll deal with Yan Jun."
Seeing that she didn't object, Yuan Wu suddenly showed some joy, "Then I will deal with it naturally."
Zheng Xiu said no more.
She turned and walked outside the palace.
Yuan Wu looked at her back silently and said, "Why don't you stay here?"
Zheng Xiu did not respond.
She pretended not to hear.
If a person does not choose the posture of surrender or obedience as a vassal from the beginning, then he should never have such a posture again.
She will not change the path she has chosen, so that even if she loses everything in the end, at least one thing will not be lost.
That is her pride.
…
In the chilling darkness, her chariot did not return to Changling, but went to several workshops in Guanzhong.
Several large and secret workshops she established during this time.
