Chapter 900: Going Southward for Help
In the evening by the sea, Emperor Longya was preparing to give a farewell party to the fleet of the Shang Dynasty.
However, during the farewell process, the envoys from other countries who came from Fertile China and followed the Shang Dynasty fleet were not willing to be lonely. Among them, Zhao Qingyan, the representative of Ziyang Shenting and Minister of Rites, was the most active.
This guy is indeed one of Junxian's proud disciples, and he fell in love with Shi Yuxing, the representative of the Five Elements Spirit World, at first sight. When most other countries were paying attention to the Dragon Tooth Empire and evaluating the impact of industry and commerce on this place, Zhao Qingyan took the initiative to find Shi Yuxing.
When she came to Shi Yuxing, Zhao Qingyan took the initiative to say: "Hello, I am from Fertility Shenzhou, Ziyang Shenting, and I am the Minister of Officials, Zhao Qingyan, from Ziyang Shenting. This time I mainly follow the Shang Dynasty fleet to the east to observe the situation.
If possible, I would like to extend an invitation to the Five Elements Spirit Realm on behalf of Ziyang Shenting, and invite the Five Elements Spirit Realm to be a guest at Ziyang Shenting in Fertile China.
I think we'll be good friends. "
Yes, very good friends, one is in Haozhou and the other is in Feitu Shenzhou. There will be no essential conflict of interest between us! It's a great premise for cooperation. Besides, Ziyang Shenting is no ordinary country.
When Shi Yuxing heard this, his eyes immediately lit up—unexpectedly, the breakthrough of the Five Elements Spiritual World was not in Haozhou or Yingzhou, but in the farther land of Fertile China! Still a god!
Shi Yuxing is a real wise man, and he thought of the future in a flash - with the help of the fertile land of Shenzhou, he can trade a lot of resources needed by the five elements and spirit world. The resources of a Shenzhou must far exceed the resources of a Haozhou.
Also, Haozhou was a little wary of the five elements spirit world, and so was Yingzhou. But Feitu Shenzhou didn't have much contact with the Five Elements Spirit World, so we can still be friends!
Thinking of this, Shi Yuxing immediately gave Zhao Qingyan a friendly smile, and immediately said - we are willing to send envoys to Ziyang Shenting, and please give us the location.
Zhao Qingyan immediately gave the route to the other party, and the two temporarily reached some simple verbal agreements.
After the fleet set sail for a while, while the negotiations between Shi Yuxing and the Dragon Tooth Empire continued, Shi Yuxing had already transmitted the information of Ziyang Shenting back to the Five Elements Spirit Realm.
In just two days, the Five Elements Spirit World sent another wave of missions to set off. As soon as they left the Five Elements Spirit World, they flew west and headed straight for the Purple Sun Court.
At the same time, the negotiation of the Dragon Tooth Empire has reached a stalemate. In order to prevent the Dragon Tooth Empire from falling to the Five Elements Spirit Realm, the four major sects immediately sent people to the Dragon Tooth Empire to negotiate.
For a while, the Dragon Tooth Empire became an important force controlling the situation in Haozhou, and the attitude of the Dragon Tooth Empire was directly related to the future of Haozhou.
The situation in Haozhou has fallen into a strange situation!
…………
When Beichen Yuqing and his party went north, the Shang Dynasty was launching a general attack on Bian State. The fleet at sea has achieved an almost perfect victory, and the army on land is certainly not to be outdone.
After a few days of gathering, a total of two million Shang Dynasty legions headed south. The first and second lines of defense of Bian State completely collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of border guards died in the mountains. The Shangdu of Bian State, and now the administrative center of Bian State, were directly exposed to the vision of the army vanguard of the Shang Dynasty!
The situation is extremely urgent for Bian Guo.
At this time, Bian Guo finally felt that the situation was not good; Shangdu Ming Wang Chaoxu sought peace talks with the Shang Dynasty many times, but Xia Qingqing rejected them all.
The breath of decisive battle has arrived. The heavy atmosphere made everyone breathless. For the first time since the founding of the country, Bian felt the fear of destroying the country.
At this time, the Bian State forward and the Shang Dynasty forward are confronting each other, and the two sides are at war. As long as there is an order from any party, the real decisive battle will begin.
During the confrontation, it was noon.
Behind the Shang army, Xia Qingqing slowly got off the plane.
At this time, Xia Qingqing was wearing a black brocade-patterned, slightly tight cheongsam-like long skirt, simple and capable, with a three-foot green sword hanging around her waist; on top of her head was a purple-gold crown with a dazzling purple-gold crown inlaid in it. Colored gemstones - surprisingly expensive and extremely rare 'Taiwei star stone'.
Legend has it that the Taiwei Star Stone is a fragment of the Taiwei star in the sky.
There are three walls in the sky, named: Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi. Among them, Ziwei represents the emperor of heaven, and Taiwei represents... To a large extent, it can be regarded as the queen of heaven.
It is conceivable how precious and noble the Taiwei Star Stone, which is said to be the fragment of the Taiwei Star, is. It is said that it has many miraculous effects, and those who are not worthy enough to wear it will destroy their future.
Although Xia Qingqing's outfit was luxurious, no one dared to look up to the majesty of the queen she displayed.
Standing on the platform, Xia Qingqing delivered a high-spirited speech. In the end, Xia Qingqing's long sword pointed to Fang Fang: "I am waiting for you to break through the Shangdu of Bian Kingdom.
Until your triumphant return, the empress will stand here, waiting for the return of the warriors! "
There was a slight silence, and then the army of millions broke out and roared. The roar broke through the sky, and the sun in the sky seemed to be crumbling. The wind howled, rolling up boundless banners. Amidst the roar, two million troops launched a frenzied attack on Bian State.
Locomotives and artillery crazily crushed past, and the sky was overwhelming with planes. A completely crushing war broke out.
The assassination of King Xian has completely angered the Shang Dynasty. The capital of Bian State had been built for tens of thousands of years, and it seemed to be very strong. However, under such a fierce attack, it could not hold back for even an hour, and the first line of defense had already collapsed.
Then came the second and third lines of defense.
In the evening, the defense line around Shangdu was completely torn apart, and the capital of Shangdu was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of vanguards from the Shang Dynasty alone.
When the army of the Shang Dynasty arrived, there was no persuasion or shouting. Yes, just... attacks, continuous attacks!
Shen Jianfei supervised the battle from the rear, constantly roaring:
"Attack, attack, don't back down! We can't let the queen wait there overnight."
"From the moment they plan to assassinate and participate in the assassination of the virtuous king and overthrow the Shang Dynasty, we are already immortal. We don't care about the views of the enemy, and we don't need prisoners. We don't care about that, people will only cheer for the victors! "
"Armored troops, charge me, send the artillery to the frontier and fire within three kilometers!"
"As long as one soldier retreats, the officer will be responsible!"
A series of orders and slogans were issued, and the Shang army went crazy. It’s okay not to be crazy, the virtuous king was assassinated, which is tolerable or unbearable!
Bian Guo's side is even more crazy. If he can't stop it, the country will be ruined and his family will perish. There is no room for negotiation.
One side is for dignity, the other is for survival, and neither side has room to retreat.
The sun in the sky has begun to sink, and it seems that it can't bear to see this crazy tragedy. The ground has been stained red with blood, and there are fallen corpses everywhere, but most of them belong to Bian State. Especially in some important defensive places, the corpses could not be distinguished, and almost all of them were broken.
Violent artillery explosions, huge 305mm land warfare artillery destroyed one level after another, and Bian soldiers were scattered all over the sky like rag dolls.
In the sky, the masters of the two countries were fighting wildly, and there were no rules at all. The fairness between masters was trampled into dust on the battlefield.
At higher altitudes, the planes of the Shang Dynasty flew back and forth, launching devastating blows one after another.
Farther away, a group of elite mechanized troops from the Shang Dynasty was attacking from the flanks, unexpectedly attacked the Bian State's distant front, and then launched a frantic assault and killing in the rear of Bian State's Shangdu.
At sunset, the upper capital of the Bian Kingdom was finally unable to defend. When the city walls began to collapse and the protective barrier of the palace began to collapse, the top officials of the Bian Kingdom finally had to retreat.
At this time, the faces of the kings of Bian Kingdom were extremely ugly. It never occurred to me that the gap between the two sides would be so large.
Smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke, burnt, mud and blood in the air, Shangdu Ming Wang Chao Xu's face was the most ugly. Not long after he became the king of Bian, he was hit on the head. This blow not only broke his head, but also swollen his face.
At this time, Bian Guo knew that Xia Qingqing personally supervised the battle, and even uttered wild words that he would wait for the triumphant return of the soldiers at the general's platform.
At that time, Bian Guo laughed at everyone, a woman who did such a thing really regarded herself as a pillar. As a result, the nominal capital of Bian State could not hold back even half a day!
While escaping, King Ming Chao Xu stopped and turned to look at the city behind him. The capital city that existed for tens of thousands of years is now like a burning torch, but the torch doesn't seem to be burning well. The thick smoke billows straight into the sky , It is estimated that it can be seen clearly from thousands of miles away.
When the western sky was still glowing with sunset, Shangdu of Bian Kingdom had been completely captured by the Shang Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of Bian's elite were wiped out, and Shangdu, one of Bian's six cores, was already in rubble.
Xia Qingqing did not command the army to continue the attack, but fulfilled her promise, waiting for the army's return at the point general platform, and rewarding them generously.
In fact, the reason why Xia Qingqing refused to let the army continue to attack was because he accepted Xu Ren's opinion. After this frantic battle, the soldiers are tired and need to rest. What's more, winning too quickly also made the logistics department a little busy-pacifying and controlling the occupied area is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Xia Qingqing finished her reward and left satisfied; the military was going to rest for the night and continue the attack tomorrow morning.
Xia Qingqing walks in style, but Bian Guo is not. Bian Guo, who was under such an attack, felt a little frightened. In the past, I always felt that the Bian State was very awesome, and no country dared to attack for thousands of years; while the Shang Dynasty was just a country that was established for a short time, and the time before and after it was added up did not exceed 8 years.
This kind of comparison inevitably makes Bian Kingdom a little proud - even though many things have been made clear, the Shang Dynasty is very powerful. However, only after this failure did Bian Guo wake up.
The emergence of industry and commerce, especially after industry and commerce feed back the practice, the assistance of industry and commerce to the country can no longer be ignored.
The senior officials of Bian State fled southwest to the nearest Wudu, and it was already midnight. It was only at this time that the top officials of Bian State really realized the crisis. The Shang Dynasty was really going to destroy Bian State. At this time, the Shang Dynasty not only had such determination, but also had such ability.
"What should we do? Relying on the power of the Bian Kingdom, it is estimated that the Shang Dynasty cannot be stopped!" Cao Rong, the Eastern King who had just returned from failure, was a little uneasy.
Sima Xuan, the Southern King of Bian, thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "I think we can ask the South for help. To be precise, let the South come out to mediate, at least to buy us some time."
"South? There are a few crumbling small countries in our south!" Everyone didn't react for a while.
"It's the country of Yue!" Sima Xuan said slowly, and then explained: "The Shang Dynasty is too powerful. I believe that other countries would not want to see such a powerful Shang Dynasty rise, let alone hope that the Shang Dynasty would be so rampant. avoid.
We need to unite with the surrounding countries, not just Yue, but also the Xiang country in the west next to it, and even the rest of the countries in the middle of Yingzhou to exert pressure on the Shang Dynasty.
Put pressure on the Shang Dynasty comprehensively in terms of diplomacy, commerce, resources, and politics. "
The kings of the Bian Kingdom looked at each other, and they all saw the movement in their eyes. That's right, don't talk about the Bian country for now, even if any country on Yingzhou fights alone, it may not be the opponent of the Shang Dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the sky fire bomb is enough to make all countries terrified. In the face of such a powerful Shang Dynasty, it is impossible for everyone to say that they are not worried.
In the past, everyone felt that Yingzhou was very big, a million miles wide! And the most powerful country on Yingzhou before was Zhao Guo, with a radius of thousands of miles. No matter how large the scope of rule is, the country will inevitably be unstable because of the delay in information exchange and so on.
Therefore, in the past, everyone always felt that a country with a radius of thousands of miles was almost the limit. Even if it is quadrupled, it will only be a radius of 20,000 li, which is almost impossible.
With such prerequisites, everyone feels very at ease: No matter how powerful you are Zhao Guo, East and West Chu Kingdoms, it is impossible to exceed a certain limit.
However, the emergence and rise of the Shang Dynasty crushed everything.
The Shang Dynasty-Zhao State artery, which is more than 500,000 miles long, has been opened to traffic. Supersonic civilian aircraft fly overhead every day. There is also the latest communication technology of the Shang Dynasty, which even eclipsed the traditional means of communication such as flying swords to pass books, life and soul mirrors, and soul lamps.
The rocket technology of the Shang Dynasty was even more appalling. And combined with the information of the Ascension Channel, it pushed the Shang Dynasty to the forefront.
However, the Shang Dynasty, standing on the cusp of the wind and waves, not only did not falter, but instead looked majestic in all directions! The missions sent to Fertility China, the missions sent to Dongsheng China, and the remote support of the Dragon Tooth Empire have shaken the hearts of all countries.
After considering all these clearly, the kings of the Bian Kingdom immediately made a decision: to seek help from the outside world.
However, this matter should not be too anxious and messed up. It is necessary to make a detailed plan and take it step by step.
First of all, everyone determined the goal: to ask Yue for help first.
The relationship between Yue State and Shang Dynasty is the best - at least until now, on the surface, it looks like this. There is still a disgraceful transaction between the Yue State and the Shang Dynasty, which is the matter of dividing up the Wu State.
If the Yue State can come forward, it can also test the attitude of the Shang Dynasty and set an example for other countries.
In addition, Yue State and Bian State are the closest and have natural geopolitical advantages.
After discussion, the people who went to Yue this time were: Nan Wang Sima Xuan and Jing Wang Chu Yong.
