"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1061
Zhou Ba, Lei Ming and other generals conquered cities in Beichuan Province, Nanchuan Province and other places, and continued to expand their territory.
The defense forces of the Far Eastern courts in these areas are weak. They originally thought that the rear area was safe and did not need so many troops to garrison.
But now, I didn't expect that as Zhou Ba and others stirred up the wind and rain, the imperial court suddenly lost control of many areas.
? Although the Far Eastern court urgently raised military rations and formed an army to quell the chaos in the western region, it would take time.
When the anti-insurgency army sent by the Far Eastern imperial court was still on the way, the army led by Zhou Ba had already captured the capital of Beichuan Province.
The capture of the capital of a province is of great significance, and it has also caused shocks in all parties.
Those green forest heroes who roared in the mountains and forests were not fools. Seeing that Zhou Ba and the others were so powerful that they seemed to sweep the entire Beichuan province, they all came out of the mountains one after another and defected to Zhou Ba's command.
However, some local officials of the Far Eastern court had never seen the imperial reinforcements, but the rebel army kept advancing, so they were also faced with a difficult choice.
Especially after seeing that the provincial capitals were captured, officials in many prefectures and counties also began to switch to Zhou Ba's command for their own prosperity and wealth.
Because they have also seen that although Zhou Ba's army is powerful, it lacks the talents to govern the local area.
In some places, the gentry and wealthy households are also useless. For their own family business, they have turned to the rebel army one after another, which further strengthened the strength of the rebel army.
Zhou Ba still copied the set of policies that Chen Ziang had in Yunxi Mansion back then, those who were willing to submit were welcomed one after another, and those who resisted were all eliminated.
Moreover, Zhou Ba also inherited Chen Ziang's New Deal. Although they lack manpower to implement it, the slogan is enough to inspire people's hearts.
Zhou Ba and the others occupied more and more territory, more and more soldiers and horses under their command, and more and more forces attached to them, and the situation was very good.
"Now the eight prefectures and twenty-seven counties in Beichuan Province are under the control of the Beichuan Legion."
"The six prefectures and 21 counties in Nanchuan Province are already under the control of the Nanchuan Legion."
"The two prefectures in Qinghe Province, the four prefectures in Lingnan Province, and the three prefectures in Western Province have all been occupied by us."
Chen Ziang's plan was a great success, because they attracted and restrained the main force of the imperial court, while Zhou Ba and the others took the opportunity to act in the rear.
Although the imperial court had sent troops to Beichuan Province and other places to conquer Zhou Ba and the others, Chen Ziang was not worried at all.
?Because Zhou Ba and the others have become a climate, with strong soldiers and horses, they have occupied many prefectures and counties, and have a lot of money and food.
The little army sent by the imperial court to suppress them is really not enough for them to squeeze their teeth. He believes that these areas will be brought under their control in a short time.
Chen Ziang was also very happy to think that their territory could add a few more provinces.
At that time, they will be able to occupy half of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and their strength will be further enhanced.
"I sent an order to Liu Yidao in Yunshan Province, ordering the First Legion to divide into two groups and attack Yunmeng Province and Lingnan Province to assist Zhou Ba and the others."
Chen Ziang knew that relying on Zhou Ba's rebel army alone would not be able to digest and occupy such a vast area in a short time.
So he also decided to let Liu Yidao's first field army stationed in Yunshan province attack.
When Chen Zi'ang placed Liu Yidao's First Army in Yunshan Province in the south, he also wanted to let them attack as a side when facing the imperial court in the future.
But now the time is ripe, the First Army is also a regular field force of the Qinghe Army, and their participation in the battle will definitely speed up the process of destroying the Far Eastern court.
And as long as Liu Yidao's First Field Army Corps captures Yunmeng Province, then Yunshan in the occupied area of ??Qinghe Army will be able to connect with Lingnan, Beichuan, Nanchuan, Qinghe, Western Province and other places.
At that time, the Qinghe Army's southern Dongjiang River and the Jiangnan region's military rations and equipment will also be continuously transported to the western region through this line, strengthening the strength of these regions, and assisting Zhou Ba and the others to gain a firm foothold.
As long as Zhou Ba and the others completely control the west, and Liu Yidao joins them, they will be able to send troops from the southwest to the north and threaten the capital of the capital from the southwest.
However, Chen Ziang led the Second Field Army, the Fourth Army and the Guards Army to attack from the west of the river, and the two armies joined forces from the southwest and southeast, and they could fight together in one fell swoop.??Invaded the Gyeonggi province and occupied the capital.
This is a big chess game played by Chen Ziang. The Far Eastern court is now busy selling officials and nobles, thinking that the rebel army in the Beichuan area is a self-contained system, but they do not know that they are inextricably linked with the Qinghe army.
"Marshal, I have an important report."
When Chen Ziang was staring at the huge sand table and commanding the troops thousands of miles away to move forward, Du Jian, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, walked into the front-line battle tent.
"whats the matter?"
Chen Ziang was quite surprised to see Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, personally report.
After all, Du Jian hid in the dark after he became the dean of the Intelligence Investigation Institute.
"Marshal, I just got the news that the emperor Longjun over at the capital has passed away." Du Jianping said excitedly after stepping back to the left and right.
"What, Dragon Lord died?!"
After Chen Ziang heard the news, he was also shocked.
You know, the emperor Long Jun was young and energetic, and there was no rumor of any disease, so why did he suddenly die.
"Is the message confirmed?"
Chen Ziang's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the chain reaction that might be caused after the death of the Dragon Lord.
"It has been confirmed, it is indeed dead, but the king's capital is blocking the news now."
"How did you get this information? What if it was false information from them." Chen Ziang quickly calmed down.
"Our people rescued a person who was hunted down by a masked man in black outside the capital. After our people rescued this person, they interrogated him and found out that this person is the royal doctor of the court."
"I heard that Emperor Long became ill from overwork, and the situation in Beichuan, Nanchuan and other places deteriorated, so he fell ill in a panic. Although the imperial doctors tried their best to treat them, they seemed to be getting better. I heard that the capital of Beichuan Province was lost. Then Then he was pissed off again, and then died."
"When the emperor passed away, all the imperial doctors who treated him were killed and buried with him, so this imperial doctor fled overnight."
"After our people got the news, they also sent people to spy and confirmed that the news was accurate."
It never occurred to Chen Ziang that he sent Zhou Ba and others to do things behind the enemy lines, and they actually pissed off Emperor Longjun to death.
In fact, Chen Ziang was wrong. What happened in Beichuan and other places was just the last straw that crushed Long Jun.
He has taken over a mess since he took over. In order to keep the country and stabilize his position, he not only takes care of major and minor matters, but is almost always busy day and night, resulting in overwork and illness.
And not only were all his efforts ineffective, but seeing that the situation was deteriorating day by day, Lord Long was also very anxious.
He, the emperor who wanted to revitalize the Far Eastern court, still failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and died unwillingly at a young age. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
