The twelve Jade Dragon City in November 994, Hualongli

The country is in a critical state. Isn't there anyone who can share the worries of the lonely family? The Jade Dragon King Sima Yuan's face is not very good-looking. Perhaps because he received news from Sima Yuan's defeat in the battle, the Free Army occupied Tianshui City, and Dongguan City, or perhaps because he received bad news from hundreds of thousands of grassland coalition forces attacking Yinchuan Prefecture, or perhaps because he had a little too much fun with the beautiful girl Qiu Shuiyun last night... In short, he was not resting well and his face looked tired.

Report to His Majesty Dragon King: Although the Sixth Prince was defeated, there are still nearly two divisions of troops retreating eastward into the Changlong Prefecture of the Qiu family's Changlong Prefecture, the Liberal Army Xinde Tianshui Prefecture and Dongguan Prefecture. It takes time to rest and rectify and manage. The total number of troops landed by the Free Army is only six divisions. We must be concerned about the pressure of Jianghan Prefecture and Changlong Prefecture. We should be unable to invade Yulong County in the west for the most urgent task, and how to resist the attack of the grassland coalition forces. Zuo Xiang Murong Ming made a report

Murong Ming's words clearly meant to excuse the Sixth Prince Sima Yuan. After all, the Sixth Prince Sima Yuan had his proud son Murong Ming as a military advisor when fighting against the Free Army in Tianshui Prefecture and Dongguan Prefecture. He had to speak for the Sixth Prince. Sima Yuan's abacus on bringing Murong Bo together before Sima Yuan made a decision!

The grassland coalition forces are coming to rebel fiercely, what can we do to resist? Sima Yuan’s words contain anger, but he just suppresses this anger. There is naturally a reason for this.

The third prince Sima An led the newly established Roland Army, as well as the powerful Second Guard Division and the Reserve Division, with a total strength of 240,000 troops. Not only did they fail to withstand the attack of the grassland coalition, but they also lost more than 80,000 troops in one day, and lost several medium-sized cities and towns, losing a large area of ​​land southwest of Yinchuan Prefecture. They could only retreat for 80 miles. It was not until the Yinchuan Prefecture City, which had a high wall and a deep pool, stabilized its position. It is said that the grassland coalition lost only 30,000 people. Even if the grassland cavalry has an advantage in fighting in the plains and wilderness, this record is not bad, right?

In contrast, although the six prince Sima Yuan was defeated and lost 80,000 people, he finally caused nearly 30,000 casualties to the Free Army. The record was still reasonable. After all, according to the secret spy expert who secretly supervised the battle, the lethality of the Demon Dragon Blood Bullet and the Divine Machine Crossbow was very shocking. In that battle, the Jinghai Legion was very likely to successfully wipe out the landing division of the Free Army. However, no one could have thought that at the critical moment, Hua Yinghong, the son of Freedom who was assassinated by the Yinming Sect, had been buried in the belly of the Sea Dragon. The rumors that the Dragon King had returned safely. The Dragon King bowed three times and the return of the King made the morale of both sides rise and fall. This was the great defeat of Longtan Town and the defeat of the lost Dongguan City.

As for Tianshui City being captured by the Free Army overnight, its fault was not Sima Yuan: 20,000 Jade Dragon Army defended the city, and the Free Army had only one division to attack the city. No matter how many days it could have been, no matter how many years, no one expected that the Meihua Sword Saint Meishanmin, who had been neutral in the battle for kings and hegemony for decades, would actually use the excuse of Yulong spies colluding with Mei Yi to capture Wanmei Villa Yu Buyi, and openly announced his support for the Free Army, and appointed the deputy leader of the Free Alliance, Wushuang Jade Girl, Miao Youlan, as the new owner of Wanmei Villa, the Sima family, who had not yet established a firm foothold, was not yet firm. Where was the enemy of Wanmei Villa and the Free Army, which had been deeply rooted in Tianshui Palace? After the breaking of Tianshui City, the Jiang family, the Taohua Palace and Wanmei Villa, were also uprooted by the Free Army, Taohua Palace and Wanmei Villa, and then disappeared!

Sima Yuan also knew these situations through the information of the Yulong Secret Spy.

No one answered in the hall for a while, no one thought: a month ago, the Jade Dragon King Sima Yuan used a big and amazing plan to plot and play with the Later Tang Empire, the Daliang Kingdom and all forces in his hands. He was in full swing. He didn't expect that in just over a month, the Jade Dragon Kingdom would really fall into such an extremely difficult and shaking situation!

Ding Aiqing, what are your good plans? Sima Yuan's sharp eyes stared at Ding's spokesperson in the court. Ding Zili, the Minister of Personnel. If the Ding family had not refused to execute the order to completely wipe out the Southwest Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty trapped in Zijiang Town, the Sima family would not have to secretly deploy the troops of three divisions in Wuling County to prevent the Ding family from suddenly losing like the Li family in the Western Liang Dynasty. Let go of the way and put the Southwest Legion of the Later Tang Empire into the hinterland of the Sima family controlled by the Sima family, which would have become an uncontrollable situation!

However, in this way, Sima Yuan had no other troops to move except for the direct division of the Guards, the First Division and its two Guards Preparatory Divisions and the Imperial Army.

The last ace force is not dared to go out easily. The Longshan Mansion area near the Yulong Mountains of Yulong County is very powerful. The Yinming Sect of the Demon Cult is very active. When it is frequent, it only depends on the movements made by the Yinming Sect in Keelung City, Zhenbao Island. You will know that if the Yinming Sect doesn't come out, it will be amazing. If the First Guard Division is transferred from Longshan Mansion, it will be a big problem!

My memory thinks: The free army is more powerful than the tiger, and its harm is still above the grassland coalition. Ding Zili said: The grassland coalition is ultimately a nomadic people, and is not convinced by the water and soil of the Central Plains. Even if we conquer cities and plunder land for a while, we will implement strategies to treat the people well. At present, we only need to implement strategies to clear the fields in the various prefectures of Roland County, garrison food and grass, train soldiers, and hold on to the city with sharp weapons. After a while, their wildness will be revealed. At that time, people will be resentful. Then, another elite army will be sent to gather the people and combine the power of Xiliang to wipe it out. At least it can be driven back to the grassland.

Ding Aiqing's plan is very good, Sima Yuan nodded and said: However, the Free Army with only 200,000 landing forces is even more harmful than hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry? You should know that almost everyone in the grassland army is soldiers, and it is not uncommon for millions of iron cavalry to enter the pass if necessary.

Your Majesty, I think there are four harms to the Free Army: First, it is lonely overseas and has no worries. As long as there is a navy to protect the sea, the troops can concentrate on attacking any side; second, the Free Army wins consecutive battles, the morale is stable, the army is sharp, the morale is high, the battle is getting stronger; third, the internal affairs of the Free Alliance are booming, and the people are known as the paradise on earth, and the financial resources are constantly increasing. The fourth is also the most critical point. No matter how long the Free Army uses military power to govern, it is like a dragon in the sky. It judges the situation, and it has amazing actions from time to time. It has no way to imagine that he is assassinated and returns on the sea dragon, which can even confuse the hearts of the people in the world, and many other forces such as the Peach Blossom Palace, the Nangong Family, the Boat Gang, Wanmei Villa, etc. have been openly or secretly willing to be the front guards of the horse. If the Free Army is more prosperous, it will probably be even more unstoppable!Ding Zili glanced at Qiu Haocang, the Minister of Works. This analysis was very insightful, not only reminding the Jade Dragon King Sima Yuan, but also reminding the Qiu family that the Free Army is not only a great threat to the Sima family, but also to the Qiu family!

As for the Ding family, the Jianghan Mansion, which was adjacent to Tianshui Prefecture and Dongguan Prefecture, was upgraded to a first-level guard against a radius of 600 miles. The Jianghan Mansion, which is a large population, is the fundamental part of the Ding family. If anything goes wrong, even if the Ding family is immortal, it will seriously damage its vitality!

Ding Aiqing's analysis is reasonable. Sima Yuan asked again: However, analysis alone is not enough, so why is the way to deal with it?

Your Majesty, I only have this stupid opinion. The way to deal with it depends on the Secretary of Qiu. After all, the Eastern Legion is most familiar with the Free Army. Ding Zili was so treacherous that he transferred the hot mountain to Qiu Haocang, and secretly accused the Qiu family of relying on the gentleman's appointment. Although he got a temporary benefit, the Free Army took the opportunity to grow. Now it has become a big threat and the person who has to tie the bell. Of course, he must bear the main responsibility for the problem.

Your Majesty! Qiu Haocang hurriedly stepped out. Although the eastern legion occupied Yunyuan County and Nanhai County, the three prefectures were planned, there was no Tianshui Prefecture. Dongguan Prefecture, and more than 400,000 troops of the famous Daliang general Long Feiyang were entrenched in Qingyuan Prefecture and Shunde Prefecture. Weichen believed that only the northern legion and the eastern legion joined forces, plus the Third Guard Division, a Baiyi Division, and the remaining troops of the Jinghai Legion led by the six princes worked together to solve the two major legions of the Daliang Army led by Long Feiyang with an absolute advantage before considering the matter of dealing with the Free Army. Otherwise, if the Free Army and the Daliang Kingdom joined forces, I am afraid that the situation in the entire Yulong Kingdom will be worrying!

Well said! The four words "Shangshu Qiu work together" are particularly best! Sima Cheng, a high-ranking and powerful Duke of the State, suddenly interrupted: Now my Jade Dragon Kingdom is in a turmoil, which is not an exaggeration! If everyone has their own thoughts and refuses to work together to fight against the powerful enemy, how can they be finished if they collapse!

Sima Cheng said again:Brother Wang, my ministers requested: The Western Front Grassland Alliance can adopt the strategy of Ding Shangshu's plan to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, order the three princes to train the army, defend Yinchuan City, expand their troops to prepare for war, and order Li Xuanji's western legion to cooperate in harassing the rear of the grassland coalition; the eastern war can adopt the strategy of Qiu Shangshu, and order the northern legion to dispatch at least three reserve divisions, to impose the Third Division of the Guards, and Baiyi Division temporarily assigned to the command of the Jinghai Legion of the Sixth Prince, to cooperate with the Eastern legion to promote Long Feiyang Daliang Army in one fell swoop.Total annihilation; by then, our million-strong army of Yulong can regain the maneuver since the deadlock between Baiyang County, Nanhai County and Yunyuan County, and the crisis can be immediately lifted. As for the Southwest Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty, most of the northern legions must be strictly ordered to block it firmly in Zijiang Town. If the northern legions fail to block the enemy, they will be allowed to escape into Wuling County. In order to defend the country, they will have to ask the Central Army of the Seventh Prince to give up the Yanbo Mansion of the Later Tang Dynasty, cross the river and land from Huaiyin Port of Beijiang Prefecture, and return to the army to chase and annihilate it.

Ding Zili was anxious and hurriedly said: Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Legion would not let the Later Tang army go into Wuling County alone. Only Ding Zili knew that his brother Ding Zizhe had planned to pretend to be defeated. Releasing the Southwest Legion of the Later Tang Dynasty, the hungry tiger passed along the Linjiang Prefecture of Jianghan County and went to attack Wuling County controlled by Sima. If the Sima family's hinterland was messed up, the Ding family army would have the opportunity to enter the Sima family controlled area in this chaotic era, and it would not be so easy to withdraw.

But the Duke of the National Guard Sima Cheng was even more treacherous and sloppy. He implemented a strategy with a slight and clever way, so that the Ding family would not dare to make such a rash thought! If the Ding family really implemented the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, it was probably just giving Sima the excuse to order the Central Army and the Preparatory Division, and the Navy's army to cross the river and return to Jianghan County, the Ding family would be defeated by then.

If the Jade Dragon King really issued an order to order the seventh prince Sima Lang to cross the river and enter Beijiang Prefecture, it would probably not be as simple as returning to pursue the Later Tang army. If there were the Free Army from Tianshui Prefecture, Dongguan Prefecture attacking Jianghan Prefecture, the Qiu Family Changlong Prefecture, Qingyuan Prefecture entered Nanjiang Prefecture, and the Jinlong Kingdom navy took advantage of the situation to rob and attacked the four prefectures of Jianghan County. Everyone pushed them. I am afraid that by then, the Ding family urgently used the Spring and Autumn Wuji Order, and it would be useless!

Okay! The King of Jade Dragon Sima Yuan opened his mouth again and made a decision: Following the strategy of protecting the Duke of China, the whole country of Yulong must work together to overcome difficulties together. As for the promulgation of new policies and regulations such as the "Yulong Land Law" and "Yulong Jinxing Law", there is no need to discuss it. It will be implemented first and then talk about it. When the battle is won, it will naturally be someone willing to come! It is also a good time to use this to see how many loyal ministers and righteous men in my Yulong Kingdom are willing to go to the national disaster together.

Speaking of the last sentence, Sima Yuan's voice became extremely sinister and scary. All the officials in the court knew it well. When a series of money-making laws imitated by the Free Alliance on Zhenbao Island were released, I was afraid that those wealthy families who refused to bleed and supported the Sima family would be unlucky, and not ordinary unlucky!
