Yang Hanmo was still recovering the western border, King Zhou led his troops to attack Haizhou, and King Ying was so angry that he sent troops to attack the capital, and the situation became chaotic again.
After receiving this news, Lin Xiaoman's eyelids kept twitching.
I always have a bad feeling.
I always feel that it's this bastard man who is plotting behind the scenes.
Here in the western border, it has reached a critical period. If we press on with our victory, we will be able to drive out all the Hu people in the first half of next year!
Although we cannot withdraw troops from here, we cannot just sit there and watch the area in the east fall into chaos.
Because winter was about to come, after some discussion, Yang Hanmo transferred 20,000 troops from Fengzhou and Huaizhou to garrison Zezhou.
Zezhou originally had 30,000 defenders, and with another 40,000, a total of 70,000 troops, it would definitely be able to hold out for a long time.
Lin Xiaoman took the military order and set off for Zhongzhou.
As winter approaches, the western border is in a stalemate with both sides defending each other. However, with the Dragon Guards around, Lin Xiaoman doesn't need to worry about Yang Hanmo, who is a weak fighter, getting killed.
When Lin Xiaoman arrived in Zhongzhou, King Zhou had already occupied two county towns in Haizhou, and King Ying's army was already at the gates of the city and gathered outside the northernmost wall of the capital.
The King of Zhou and the King of Ying were already fighting fiercely.
After summarizing the military forces on the map, Lin Xiaoman's eyes twitched even more violently.
Except for the local garrison of less than 10,000 people, all the soldiers of Huizhou were taken by the King of England to the northernmost part of the capital and the southernmost part of Huizhou.
Therefore, the border between Huizhou, Yuzhou and Chuzhou, two major states in Northern Qing, is completely unguarded and is in a state of "border air defense"!
The same thing happened to King Zhou. That idiot King Zhou emptied Xinzhou and Xinzhou, stationed heavy troops in the capital, and took tens of thousands of troops to attack Haizhou.
Do these two people think that Su Beici will not do anything big?
Although there was an agreement to form an alliance to jointly resist the Hu people, it was a lie! The Hu people did not attack Beiqing at all.
No! No!
Lin Xiaoman's eyelids were twitching violently.
But it's already the end of November. If we march on a large scale at this time, we might freeze to death on the way. Although I'm worried, I can only wait until winter is over and spring comes.
As soon as the heavy snow stopped, Lin Xiaoman sent a message to Yang Hanmo, asking him to allocate troops from Qingzhou to guard the border between Huizhou and Beiqing.
But I didn't expect that it was too late in the end.
In Qingzhou, before Yang Hanmo could move out, news came that Huizhou had fallen. In just half a month, several cities north of Huizhou had all fallen.
Three-quarters of Huizhou's territory was occupied by Beiqing.
Having lost the initiative, Yang Hanmo decided to drive out the Hu people first and completely recover Anzhou and Qingzhou.
Because of Su Beici's sudden attack, King Ying was surrounded by Su Beici and King Zhou, and King Ying's army fell into a very embarrassing situation.
The capital city could not be taken, and the rear was occupied by Beiqing. The King of England completely lost his supply and could only ask for help from Lizhou after less than three months of being completely out of food.
In the fiefdom of Lizhou, Prince Jing, who had already surrendered, obeyed the arrangements of "Mr. Xi" throughout the process. At this time, King Ying had only about 70,000 soldiers left.
Lin Xiaoman stripped him of his military power, split up his army, and dispersed it into small pieces among the garrisons in Lizhou, Zhongzhou, and Zezhou.
After being defeated and losing his military power, the British king accepted his fate and only hoped to keep his fiefdom.
Beiqing was heavily guarded and well-arranged. Beiqing could not defeat them for a while. Lin Xiaoman took King Ying to Zezhou and then returned to Haizhou.
Haizhou was the territory of King Ying, and most of the local generals were loyal to King Ying. As soon as King Ying returned, he immediately took advantage of the home field. In addition, with Lin Xiaoman's support, King Zhou immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Before King Zhou could decide to retreat, his rear position was occupied by Beiqing at an incredible speed.
The speed was so fast that it was not even fast enough for an army to march.
Therefore, the truth is very clear. Xinzhou and Xinzhou have long been secretly controlled by Beiqing.
When this unexpected incident happened, King Zhou was dumbfounded. In panic, he suffered two defeats and was soon driven back to the capital.
Lin Xiaoman did not punish the enemy when it was down, but instead adopted a policy of encirclement.
The capital city is adjacent to the six states and originally had convenient transportation. But now, with Dagan in front and Beiqing behind, it is King Zhou's turn to be surrounded.
Attacking the city is a waste of money and manpower, but Lin Xiaoman is not in a hurry and is calmly surrounding it.
As early as when Yang Hanmo became the crown prince, the capital had already lost the meaning of "capital". Although it was not officially changed to the capital, the administrative function of the capital had been completely replaced by Tongzhou.
After three months of siege, the capital was in turmoil. King Zhou's subordinates rebelled, captured King Zhou, and opened the city gates to surrender.
As for the person to surrender, it was of course the pure-blooded Crown Prince Yang Hanmo of the Eastern Palace. After all, they were all subjects of the Dagan clan.
This is the benefit of being legitimate.
Yang Hanmo did not kill King Zhou, but through the mouth of "Emperor Wusheng", demoted King Zhou to a commoner and imprisoned him in the Imperial Temple for life, praying for Dagan to atone for his sins.
At the end of the 235th year of the Dagan era, the Hu people were completely driven out, the western border was recovered, and the situation became that Dagan occupied fourteen southwestern states, two-thirds of the original Dagan territory.
The other one-third of the seven northeastern states became Beiqing.
Dagan and Beiqing each guard their own border, with clear boundaries between them.
Although Yang Hanmo had the advantage of time, place and people, he could not defeat Beiqing in a short time. Moreover, Lin Xiaoman was a little scared. Although she had no evidence, she felt that Su Beici was the son of heaven.
So, let's maintain a stalemate and develop the economy first.
