The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 479: : Rule by river

The latest website: arched back Xia Ming Li Zhaoshuang,

Xia Feng walked out of Jinyang.

Here to go to Zhaoguohe Huangdi,

Do not break the enemy and never return home.

Xiao Rui led the troops westward and plunged straight into the country of Zhao.

The journey is boring and tedious. They march for six and a half hours a day. Although there are horses for transfers, they are not marching in a hurry. If the horse is exhausted, it will be no good.

The war horse of the Iron Dragon is a Mongolian horse of mixed blood.

As we all know, Mongolian horses are short in stature, slow in running speed, and are far inferior to other horse breeds in their ability to overcome obstacles and stature. However, Mongolian horses are very endurance horses in the world, and they have the lowest requirements on the environment and food. Whether it is an alpine desert or a plain, Mongolian horses can find food at any time. It can be said that Mongolian horses have the strongest adaptability and can run for long distances without stopping.

This is also the reason why Iron Dragoons will choose Mongolian horses.

However, Mongolian horses are short in stature and slow running speed is a disadvantage after all. For heavy armored cavalry, this is a weakness. So... as early as many years ago, Xia Huang ordered the Ministry of Industry to select a batch of excellent Mongolian horses, which are equivalent to shorts. Pick the tallest one, choose the best, and then recruit Bole who is proficient in raising horses. They are personally responsible for crossing Mongolian horses with rare horse breeds, and constantly experimenting, and finally have the current iron dragon horse mount!

The Mongolian horse that is hybridized in this way can no longer be called the Mongolian horse. Their disadvantage is that their endurance will decrease, but their advantages are outstanding. Their size and speed are not inferior to other horse breeds. It can be said that their overall level has improved!

This time, I did not stop when I rushed through the state capitals.

After more than ten days passed, the group rushed to Xijing Chang'an, Xiao Rui continued to go west, did not stop to admire Xijing's heroism, and then walked past Chencang Mansion and entered the territory of Zhao Kingdom.

The local administrative division of Zhao State is the same as that of Yan State, namely prefectures, prefectures, and counties. There are 32 big counties in the Zhao Kingdom, with a length of nearly three thousand miles from east to west. To approach Emperor Zhao, the Great Xia Army needs to pass through six big counties, namely Lanjun, Eastern Tibet, Western Tibet, and Lingshan. County, Qishui County, Qiao County.

Canglan Guan is in Lanjun, and now the army of Chang Shenghou has crossed Lanjun and has just entered Eastern Tibet.

Why did the speed suddenly slow down? It was not as fast as your Majesty's personal conquest, and he reached Qishui County in less than a month. This is because the Majesty of the year was only responsible for fighting, not for taking over, like a sharp arrow feather, piercing the enemy's heart.

After Chang Shenghou's army broke through Lan County, it needed to clean up the resistance of the entire county. Many government towns and county towns were stubbornly resisting and needed to be completely subdued, so the speed naturally slowed down.

The advantage of this is that the occupation of the area is one's own territory!

When Xiao Rui enters Lanjun and passes through Fucheng, he will find that Daxia's soldiers and horses have been stationed in Fucheng, and the stubborn enemy forces have been cleaned up. Fucheng officials immediately surrendered in order to survive, and then helped Daxia pacify the people in the city.

Most of the people in the Zhao country are simple. Although they are occupied by the enemy, Xia Junqiu did not commit any crimes. They will not fight to the death. In addition, Chang Shenghou has issued an order. If anyone dares to resist the stubborn resistance, they will sit in four households!

In other words, if a citizen dared to resist, the four neighbors next to his house would even have to take heavy punishments, which invisibly deterred countless people. The common people had to be wary of the resistance of their neighbors while not resisting.

Xiao Rui's arrival also greatly encouraged Daxia's generals, especially when he saw the prince guarding the Iron Dragon Cavalry, they all raised their arms and shouted.

The people of Zhao State had also heard about Prince Xia in person, and talked about it. They were even more curious about the identity of Xiao Rui. You must know that Xiao Rui's grandmother is the younger sister of the current Emperor Zhao, the Royal Highness Princess Gao Yang!

The eldest princess back then did not let her beard. If she were not a woman, she would have been a prince. She is kind and generous, and has helped countless people. There are still many people who have erected longevity shrines for her.

Later, the current Emperor Zhao was jealous of the eldest princess's ability and power and designed her to marry Qi Guo far away. The marriage that year shocked countless people. Many officials and people strongly opposed it, but in the end they couldn't stop it.

Now, the grandson of the eldest princess is here.

When talking about Xiao Rui's identity, it will naturally involve the two countries.

The people of Xia State live and work in peace, pay light taxes and live a happy life.

Where is Zhao Guo? Taxes and servitudes are heavy, and a large number of conscriptions make the people miserable and complain.

If he was really occupied and completely surrendered to Xia State, it would not be considered a bad thing.

After all, as long as the Crown Prince Xiao Rui of the Kingdom of Xia became the emperor, and he had the blood of the Emperor of Zhao Kingdom, and he had broken the bones connected with the tendons, the people of the Kingdom of Zhao would not be regarded as outsiders and could be treated equally.

When Xiao Rui led people into Eastern Tibet, he finally caught up with the soldiers and horses of Chang Shenghou. Hearing the news, Chang Shenghou went out to greet him in person. It was the first time that Tian Boyuan saw the iron dragon knight after the change, and he was immediately taken by the power of the iron dragon knight, especially the lined front, which can directly tear open the enemy's phalanx, much more fierce than Mo Dao.

The final general Tian Boyuan pays courtesy to His Royal Highness! "Tian Boyuan stepped down and bowed his hands to worship. Other generals, deputy generals, and generals all worshiped.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Master Hou exempted the ceremony, and the generals exempted the ceremony. This palace is ordered by your majesty to supervise the army. It is the first time to go out with the army. I hope you Haihan if you behave improperly."

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is polite. Who knows that His Highness is so courageous that he led the Iron Dragon Cavaliers directly into the Qi State and turned the world upside down. Looking at the Seven Kingdoms, which country's prince can have the courage of His Highness?"

Xiao Rui humbly said, "That's all the contributions of the Iron Dragon Cavalry soldiers, and this palace dare not take credit for it."

Tian Boyuan nodded, then stretched out his hand to ask: "His Royal Highness, please enter the camp!"

Xiao Rui did not refuse, and walked straight into the camp, passing by the phalanx of soldiers stationed in the camp, Tian Boyuan explained to Xiao Rui all the time, so that he had a clear understanding of the army.

When he came to the Chinese army's big tent and sat down, Tian Boyuan told the other generals to go down first. He wanted to tell Xiao Rui about the current situation, and there were some important secrets.

Just listen to Tian Boyuan said: "His Royal Highness, the entire army of Zhao Zhao is divided into three groups. I lead 300,000 troops on the main attack, and the brave Hou Wangfeng leads 200,000 soldiers on the northern flank to support, and the other general soldier Yao Jun leads 100,000 soldiers. The south supported, and the other soldiers stayed behind to eradicate the restless enemy. The three-way army advances westward one after another, and now it has entered the boundary of the eastern Tibetan county of Zhao State. More than a hundred miles ahead is the county town of Zangdong County, with 70,000 troops stationed. , There are two more capital cities in the north and south, each with 30,000 troops. We want to go west and must break through these three cities. Now the three cities Zhao Jun can’t shrink, the general is considering whether to attack or use a plan... "

Tian Boyuan talked about the current situation and listened to him face to face. Combined with the topographic map on the table, it was much clearer than reading the military newspaper.

After hearing this, Xiao Rui had no objection to Tian Boyuan's strategy. Instead, he asked, "Master Hou, what's the situation with Qin Jun?"

Tian Boyuan suddenly smiled, and said: "My Royal Highness does not know that 70% of Zhao Jun's troops are now fighting against Qin Army, and the remaining 30% are used to stop us Daxia Erlang. We Daxia wants to attack Emperor Zhao's capital and need to pass through. Six major counties are Lan, Zangdong, Zangxi, Lingshan, Qishui, and Qiao. Among them, Qishui County has a large river from north to south, originating from the icebergs in the north, and traversing the whole Zhao Guo, named Qijiang, this big river is very dangerous, similar to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in Daxia, and it takes a lot of ships to cross the past. So Zhao Guo regards this Qijiang River as a natural danger, and they hold the worst. The plan is that even if Lan, Zangdong, Zangxi, and Lingshan counties fall, as long as we can’t pass Qijiang, we will never be able to capture Zhao’s imperial capital. But unlike the Western Qin, the Qin army only needs to break through the three gates of the Qinling Mountains. It was Ma Pingchuan, only four counties away from Emperor Zhao, and without natural dangers, Zhao Jun could only pile up most of his troops to the west to resist the Qin army!"

Xiao Rui naturally understood this truth. Today's Zhao Guo was already stretched out. He could only resist the most dangerous enemy, and it was impossible for the line to bloom.

This is a good thing for Daxia. Now only a small amount of Zhao Jun is blocking the way, such as the county town and the two mansion towns in Eastern Tibet. As long as they are taken down, the entire Zangdong County will basically be in the bag.

Can't 600,000 people hold a city of more than 100,000 people?

Xiao Rui felt a little regretful, and said, "According to Zhao Guo's strategy, it is intended to give up offensive by defense. My palace is still thinking about frontal combat. Let Zhao Jun see how powerful the Iron Dragon Cavalry is. It seems that there is no chance."

Tian Boyuan laughed and said: "The defense is now delaying time. As for the frontal combat, it is even more deadly. But your Highness can rest assured that the Iron Dragon Cavalry will have a chance to kill the Quartet. In the future, our enemy will be the Qin army! Put Zhao Guo in your eyes, nothing more than a mob."

Xia Guo's generals are so arrogant and never put Zhao Guo in their eyes. This is not arrogance, but self-confidence.

Where is Zhenyuanhou? "Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "In order to fight against the Qin Army, the South has withdrawn from the South. Han Ming, who led Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, has taken down two big counties and has already reached Qijiang. Now they are starting to move from the south to the north. Continue to occupy the territory of the State of Zhao and join our army."

In this way, it only takes two to three months to win all the counties east of Qijiang! This is one-half of Zhao's territory! "Xiao Rui said with emotion.

After speaking, Xiao Rui looked at Zhang Liang.

When Zhang Liang was invited to ~www.wuxiahere.com~, he analyzed the situation in the world and realized that the death of Zhao was not destroyed by Xia, but under the iron cavalry of Qin. Then there will be Xia and Qin in the territory of Zhao. Divide and nibble, and now it seems that Qijiang is likely to be the natural dividing line.

Seeing Xiao Rui's gaze, Zhang Liang nodded in response.

Xiao Rui looked at the map on the table.

Qi Jiang divided Zhao State into east and west regions. After the eastern region was occupied by Xia State, the north was bordered by Qi State. The territory of Qi State was a rectangle with a large east-west length, bordering Zhao State and Xia State, and the distance between the north and the south was very short.

After the Zhao Guoxi area was acquired by the Qin Army, their north was a plain, and they continued north to enter the southwest corner of the Yuan Kingdom. Why did the Yuan army rob Qi country instead of Zhao country? Because most of the tribes in the Yuan country were in the east, why bother to go to the southwest corner to attack Zhao country.

However, distance is not a problem. When the benefits are abundant, the Yuan army will still start. This also gave Xiao Rui an opportunity to use in the future, and this matter will be mentioned later.

Calculating like this, it is a good thing to rule the Qijiang River by dividing the river!
