The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 81

[Chapter 80: The Peace of Yizhou]

Seven days later, after eight days of tragic city wall attack and defense, Jiangzhou City was finally broken under Zhong Yu’s fierce offensive.

However, in the cycle of heaven, there is borrowing and repayment, and what kind of price must be paid for what kind of results are obtained.

Although Jiangzhou City was captured by Zhong Yu, the price paid was 120,000 cannon fodder, and only 30,000 people survived.

On average, about 10,000 people die every day, which can be said to be extremely tragic. Life is worthless at this moment.

However, all these costs are worth it. After Jiangzhou City is broken, there will be no big city in the entire eastern part of Yizhou, and the elite troops and horses of various counties are also concentrated in Jiangzhou City. After the loss of these guarding forces, there will be no counties. be able to stop yourself.

After the city was destroyed, the army that survived from the group of cannon fodder after being eliminated, stayed in Jiangzhou City to rest, and Zhong Yu took the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers to the east to Fuling County.

He wanted to block the junction entering Yizhou from the east in advance before the imperial court could react, and block all the enemies from Yizhou.

All the defenders in Berkshire were all concentrated in Jiangzhou City. After being annihilated in one fell swoop, they were no longer able to defend themselves, so they all surrendered to the city and took over the city all the way to Badong County.

Before the Badong County Governor, he had brought his soldiers to the death in Jiangzhou City. At this time, the entire Badong County heard the news that the Jiangzhou City army had been wiped out, and people were panicked. Able to preside over the overall situation of the county.

Some people resisted, some surrendered, and without too many twists and turns, the entire Badong County was brought under his rule by Zhong Yu.

At this point, Zhong Yu can finally stop worrying about the pressure from the court, and he can close the door and take a good rest.

After January, Baishi County, Fuling County, Jiangyou County, the counties of these three counties either resisted or surrendered, and after a month of persistence, they were all pacified, and they were all controlled by Zhong Yu for the whole week. Finally, he has a foothold in Dahan, which can be used to plot the foundation of the whole world.

In January of the seventh year of Guanghe, Zhong Yu summoned the chiefs of all counties and counties to gather in CD City, and ascended the altar in the city to make sacrifices to the sky, declaring to the whole Yizhou and the world that he had established a country, and the country name was Yu.

At the end of January in the seventh year of Guanghe, the news of Zhong Yu’s unification of the entire Yizhou and the establishment of the Imperial Kingdom spread to the imperial court, and the court shook and shocked the whole world.

No one thought that the rebels they thought were insignificant before would be able to capture the entire Yizhou so quickly, and occupy the key points.

Yizhou is blocked by roads, and there are many natural dangers. Not to mention attacking Yizhou from the outside, just saying that the road inside Yizhou is extremely thrilling.

Now, this group of rebels has occupied the whole of Yizhou, and if the court wants to take it back, it can be said that it is extremely difficult, basically impossible, when the rebels are strong and strong.

Only by encircling the entire Yizhou for a long time, waiting for the decline of the anti-thief force and revealing its flaws, so as to break through it internally.

Therefore, Emperor Ling immediately issued a decree that Huangfu Song’s army, who had just finished training and was preparing to attack Yizhou, was ordered to go to Jingzhou to defend against the rebels in Yizhou, so as not to disturb Jingzhou and destroy the entire southern Han.

On the Liangzhou side of Guanzhong, the governor of the county governor was also ordered to strengthen his armament, to defend the dangerous place, block and block Yizhou, thus encircling Yizhou from two aspects, blocking it in the entire southeast of Dahan, and it cannot come out. make a mess.

However, he never mentioned the need to prepare troops and restore Yizhou.

It seems that Emperor Ling also understands in his heart that Yizhou has completely separated from the control of Dahan since the beginning of this year, and it may take decades before it is possible to return to the control of Dahan again, so there is no Let the teachers move!

Some people were happy and some were worried. Just as the officials and loyal ministers of the entire Han Dynasty were sighing and frowning, a middle-aged Taoist priest in Julu, Jizhou really rejoiced.

This person is Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao, who spread his prestige throughout Jizhou, and was regarded as a great teacher by Taiping Daoists in the eight states of the Han Dynasty, leading the millions of Taiping Dao believers in the whole Dahan.

Recently, he is planning one thing, that is, to gather the strength of the whole Dahan Taiping Dao believers to overthrow this decadent Han Dynasty and establish a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on earth, so that everyone can live a life of clothing, housing, and living. An ideal life with food and land.

But he was always worried that his strength was insufficient and that he would not be able to overthrow the dynasty that had ruled the world for four hundred years.

The Liu family has accumulated power for four hundred years. It does not mean that it can be overthrown by overthrow. Although Zhang Jiao is also very confident, there is always a lack of confidence in his heart.

Now that I heard that in the southeast of the big man, there was already a person who did what he was just about to do, and it was successful. He couldn’t help but greatly increase his confidence and his mood became better.

So, I am more determined on what I am going to do next.

However, in line with the principle of one more friend, one more road, one hero and three gangs, Zhang Jiao is going to send a messenger to contact the group of comrades in the direction of Yizhou, and let them rise up with him to destroy the whole big man, and then he will be with him. Oneself, one south and one north, divide the world equally.

There is a big difference between doing the same thing by two people and doing it by one person, and the effect is also different.

As long as the entire Han Dynasty is in turmoil and beacon smoke rises everywhere, the entire Han Dynasty will not care about its head and tail,

Can’t cover everything.

At that time, it was fully blooming, and the world of the Han Dynasty was not yet within reach.

In the northwest direction of Liangzhou, Bei Gong Boyu, the powerful leader of the Qiang people, Bian Zhang and others conspired together to overthrow the entire Han rule in the northwest direction and establish a country belonging to the Qiang people.

I heard that Yizhou, not far to the south, has been occupied by the rebels of Dahan.

Beigong Boyu laughed a few times, and hurriedly dispatched a messenger to contact many Qiang tribes more actively.

This big man suddenly had hidden dangers everywhere, and there were people with ulterior motives hiding underneath, ready to take a fatal bite when the big man showed a weak posture.

Just when all the ambitious and ulterior motives of the entire Han Dynasty were planning conspiracies everywhere, our protagonist Zhong Yu was in the palace hall of CD at this time, discussing with his ministers the post-war settlement of the whole Yizhou.

Before the rebellion in Yizhou, there were probably more than 4 million people. Now, in just a few months, the population has dropped to 3 million, and the loss rate has reached 25%. It can be described as extremely cruel.

However, correspondingly, he has expanded from the original 2,000 soldiers to the current 120,000 soldiers who have experienced the tempering of war and have seen the elite army of blood.

The site has also expanded from a county in the beginning to more than a hundred counties in a state.

It can be said that the growth is extremely fast, just like blowing up a balloon, it expands rapidly, like a dream.

In addition to leaving 20,000 basic defenders in Yizhou, he was able to bring out his army of 100,000 troops.

The combat power of this army is equivalent to the Central Army of the Han court, and its equipment is not bad, or even better.

On the other hand, he was able to come up with 100,000 troops, but the Han court only had 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and he had to keep a part to defend the capital.

At most, 30,000 to 40,000 people can be used to quell the rebellions in various places. The main force of the army is the county soldiers who are not very effective.

In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides can be clearly seen. After more than ten days, when Zhang Jiao is forced to revolt early because of his apprentice Tang Zhou’s report, the entire Han Zhongyuan is full of beacon smoke, unable to take care of the surrounding borders. At that time, his army of 100,000 people was an important support for him to unify the entire southern Han Dynasty.
