Chapter 937

Dali, a satellite city.

In the City Lord's Mansion, [Xiao League] leader Xiao Nianying hesitated, walking back and forth in the room.

The Great Xia Dynasty and [Yanhuang League] fell out, Xiao Nianying originally just wanted to watch the fun, never thought that there would be a day when he would be involved in this battle.

Facing the pressure from Di Chen and other families, the Xiao family could not remain indifferent.

"The favor owed must be repaid after all."

Xiao Nianying sighed for a moment, and then remembered the words in Dichen's letter. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty entered Quanzhou, and within a few days he was seized by Daxia, and the Quanzhou Satellite Town Shouxing Association [Liuguang Pavilion] broke out.

One of the top ten guilds, pitifully played by Ouyang Shuo in the applause, turned upside down.

[Liuguang Pavilion] Xiao Nianying shuddered at the miserable fate of the old pavilion master. Thinking of this, Xiao Nianying finally made up his mind, "I can't say, let's have a good fight!"

Northern Sichuan Province, Fenggang City.

The official Ximen received Chun Shenjun's secret letter, sneered, tore the letter into pieces, and said teasingly: "You still want us to be dead ghosts? It's a good idea."

Ximen senior officials are becoming more and more contemptuous of the [Yanhuang League] behavior, a group of guys who only know how to fight among themselves makes Ximen senior officials feel ashamed to associate with them.

Although he comes from a family, he doesn't necessarily stand in the [Yanhuang League], and he won't be easily bought by Di Chen and others, but has his own interests and judgments.

"Earth Online" is profoundly changing the old pattern of interests, and a group of upstarts have emerged. At this time, it is the opportunity for the rise of small and medium-sized families.

Thinking of this, the official Ximen glanced at another secret letter on the case table inadvertently, and the inscription was "Qiyue Wuyi", his eyes flashed, he made up his mind, and muttered to himself: "We should also make a choice." Already!"

…………

Southern Shonan Province, Caiyun City.

Caiyun Zhinan also received a secret letter from Lord Chunshen, and his expression was cloudy.

During this period of time, a lot of major events happened in the wilderness, and [Shunan City-state] was experiencing constant ups and downs. Right now Caiyun Zhinan's life in [Shonan City-state] is not easy.

The root cause lies in the incident in November last year.

On that day, Ouyang Shuo signed a trade agreement with the two major city-states in Sanjiang Town. He never expected that there would be a change in the middle. [Shunan City-state] Lord Lin Fen intended to assassinate Fan Li, but was captured by Ouyang Shuo.

When Caiyun Zhinan met, not only did he not rescue Lin Fen, but he became obsessed with ghosts afterwards and annexed Fencheng in one fell swoop, opening the prelude to the expansion of Caiyun City within the city-state.

Today, Caiyun City already occupies the land of two counties in Southern Hunan Province.

The influence of these actions is really bad. Caiyunzhinan's reputation in the city-state has plummeted. Coupled with Shanhaiwei's promotion, Caiyunzhinan's reputation is completely rotten.

Because at this time, Caiyun Zhinan was still at odds with Zhang Liang, the chief strategist under his command. Gein's merger strategy was proposed by Zhang Liang. Now that something happened, Zhang Liang should naturally take the blame.

As everyone knows, it is not Zhang Liang's strategy that has brought Caiyunzhinan to where he is today, but his own greed. No matter how good the strategy is, if it goes out of shape during the implementation process, the counselor is helpless.

Fortunately, Caiyun City, which occupies two counties, is still the strongest territory in [Shunan City-State].

"I have no way out, have I?"

A fierce light flashed in Caiyun Zhinan's eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

…………

Shu, Qiang County.

As the largest gathering place of Qiang tribes, there are 200 Qiang tribes, large and small, living in Qiang County, with a population of one million, but they seldom communicate with the outside world until the Daxia delegation entered Qiang County.

That was before the founding of the Great Xia. In order to complete the task of establishing the country, Ouyang Shuo sent envoys into Qiang County, trying to persuade the Qiang people to join the Great Xia.

Although the emergence of the underground survivors slightly disrupted Ouyang Shuo's layout of the Qiang people, Daxia never gave up on wooing and aiding the Qiang people, and the relationship between the two became closer.

With the successful implementation of the racial equality policy, the Qiang people have a good impression of Daxia.

Over the past few months, according to Ouyang Shuo's order, steel city has quietly sent food, salt, pig iron, weapons and other urgently needed supplies of the Qiang people to Qiang County, worth more than one million gold coins.

In this way, the Qiang people gradually returned to their hearts.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo really has to thank Swordsman City, they occupy the convenient location, near water and buildings, but because they don't want to dominate, they don't want to spend food, grass and materials to win over the Qiang people.

The other lords of Shu wanted to win over but they didn't have the strength, so Daxia was so cheap. After the barbarians, Li people and Gaoshan people, they had to have another powerful race.

The Qiang nationality is an ancient nation in western China. They call themselves "Rimai" and "Erma", and are called "the nation on the clouds". There are many branches in history.

The two most famous branches, one is in Xixia, and the other is in Qiang County of Shudi.

The Xixia branch is Dangxiang Qiang, the founding emperor Li Yuanhao, also known as Tuoba Yuanhao. This Qiang tribe will not officially join the game until the end of the Song Dynasty campaign.

The branch in Shu is the ancient Bashu Qiang, which came from Di Qiang. The first king was called Cancong, also known as the Cancong family, and his former residence was Canling. In Li Bai's "The Road to Shu", "Cancong and Yufu, how at a loss was the founding of the country" refers to the same area.

On this day, Canling gathered hundreds of tribal leaders.

Among them was a man with a burly figure, bulging muscles, long hair, a beard, and a fleshy face. He exuded a sturdy aura. He was the leader of the Cancong tribe, Fu Yang.

There are more than 60,000 most elite Qiang warriors standing in the square outside, each with a Tang sword at the waist, wearing armor, holding a spear or shield, and carrying a longbow on his back. .

It seems that the array is quite organized, which is quite different from the stragglers in the impression.

In the meeting hall, Fu Yang raised a wooden cup full of fine wine, looked around at the tribal leaders present, and said loudly: "Everyone, the opportunity for our Qiang people to make contributions has come!"

"Hula!"

Hundreds of leaders toasted together, and the scene was truly spectacular.

Fu Yang said: "We Qiang people are all real men, and we know how to repay our kindness. Da Xia subsidized us and brought us precious grain, salt, pig iron and weapons. Should we repay such kindness?"

"Yes!" The group cheered.

"Okay!" Fu Yang waved his hand vigorously, "Let's take the sons and daughters to the battlefield, King Xia said, if this battle is won, Qiang County will be formally brought under the rule, and life will be several times better than now. "

"Hula!"

There was another round of cheers.

Outside the square, there were bursts of roars that were even more mountainous and tsunami-like.

"Hurla! Hula! Hula!"

This howl will eventually penetrate the mountains, cross the river, and shake the whole wilderness.

*************

Time flies, and it is September in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, both the [Shanhai League] and the [Yanhuang League] have frequently mobilized troops to gather at the border. There are countless grain and grass materials accompanying them, and there is an endless stream of grain transport vehicles.

On September 1st, the army mobilization was finally in place.

The third and fifth armies of the Great Xia Longxiang Army entered Dongchuan County, and the second and fourth armies had already arrived in Steel City. Soliloquy led the First Legion to station in Lingxi City, sitting far away.

The bustling wilderness suddenly became quiet, and everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

On this day, the outside world still can't guess who Daxia is going to fight. The whole wilderness is paying attention to how Daxia will start the first battle and where to start the first battle.

The tense atmosphere pervaded the entire wilderness, which was suffocating.

…………

September 2, Steel City.

The meandering Jinsha River rushes past Raocheng.

With the establishment of a large number of industrial plants such as steel factories, arsenals, mimetic aircraft manufacturing bases, artillery manufacturing bases, and steam engine manufacturing bases in Steel City, this city is becoming more and more worthy of its name.

Inside and outside the city, regardless of daylight, the roar of various machines can be heard endlessly.

In the deep mountains farther away, iron ore and coal mines, with the help of steam engines, greatly improved the mining efficiency, and continuously transported iron ore and coal to steelmaking plants and coking coal plants on the outskirts of the city.

On the Jinsha River, there was an endless stream of ships, which continuously transported industrial products such as steel, steam engines, looms, and artillery produced in Steel City to various places in the dynasty.

In the background of ancient games, it is a miracle to see such an industrialized city. Steel City has gradually become a microcosm and incubation base of Daxia's industrialization.

According to the plan of the Industry Administration, it is planned to build a railway between the largest iron mine in Steel City and the largest steelmaking plant before the end of the year. It will also be the first railway of the Daxia Dynasty.

It costs a lot of money to repair the railway, and the initial budget alone is as huge as half a million gold coins. At the same time, the research and development of steam trains has also been included in the key research projects of the Industry Department.

The sprouts of industry are quietly blooming in Daxia.

…………

In the northern outskirts of Steel City, a large military camp was temporarily built.

It was the Second Army Corps and the Fourth Army Corps of the Longxiang Army stationed here, and near the barracks were huge warehouses, which contained mountains of food and supplies.

These grains and supplies were prepared by the Privy Council's Combat Preparedness Department from the southern Sichuan Province, and transported here one by one by taking the Jinsha River waterway under the cover of transporting steel.

The purpose is naturally to cover up his whereabouts, so as not to be detected by Jian Xiacheng in advance.

Not far from the barracks is an airport, surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, making it impossible to see the situation inside. There are hundreds of mimetic aircraft parked in the airport, ready to go.

When outsiders see it, they will be shocked. No one can imagine what kind of lethal effect will be caused when aircraft of this scale are put into the battlefield at the same time. A mimetic aircraft of this scale is the highest crystallization of steel city's industrialization, and it is also a trump card of Daxia's battle.

There are two legions, the second legion is in the west, and the head of the legion is the famous general Huer of the Sui Dynasty who just took office; the fourth legion is in the east, and the head of the legion is Luo Shixin, the general of Xi Zhonglang.

Speaking of which, the two generals of the Sui Dynasty also had intersections. This time, Lai Hu'er was appointed as the left forward, and Luo Shixin was appointed as the right forward, together forming the vanguard of Daxia.

On the morning of this day, two armies set off at the same time, divided into two groups, and attacked Jiangyang County.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
