More than a month passed in the battle of the Tyre Mountains.
According to the time, the news of Asola's army being annihilated should have reached Huayue City, the capital of the Peacock Kingdom.
After receiving the news of this great defeat, the Maurya King Asoka should have sent more troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion. However, the news brought back by the spies of Tianji Pavilion was that Asoka was indeed furious, but he did not send any more soldiers.
That's not right. Asoka sent many scouts to the Tair Mountains. These scouts did not go into the mountains, but stayed in the city outside the mountains, apparently to monitor whether the army from Daxia came out of the mountains.
Is he using static to control dynamic and waiting for himself to attack?
Fu Xiaoguan was a little confused. His intention was to lure Asoka here for another battle, but now it seemed that the original battle plan had to be changed.
But there is no rush. Su Mo's team is causing trouble everywhere in Peacock Country. Just wait a little longer. When Asoka is depressed by Su Mo, we will see if he can still keep his composure.
The spies of Tianji Pavilion had no way to penetrate into the Huayue City Palace. They didn't know that Asoka was already in a desperate situation.
Not long after he sent out 500,000 Peacock Army to attack Fu Xiaoguan, he received another piece of news - an army of 400,000 people was coming from west to east!
They have arrived at the Hyphasis River, and according to their marching route, their target is obviously also the Maurya Kingdom!
Asoka was very depressed because of his bad luck this year. He only invaded some small countries nearby, so why did two large armies from afar suddenly appear this year?
Especially the army called Daxia from the other side of the Great Snow Mountain, how did they cross the Great Snow Mountain?
Originally, he expected that after Asola destroyed this army, he would cross the Great Snow Mountain to take a look, but now the battle report he received was that Asola's entire army was wiped out!
one day!
From morning to evening, the 500,000 Peacock Army was completely wiped out by the Great Xia Army!
When the battle report reached the palace, Asoka was stunned for a full half cup of tea, and the ministers were even more incredulous.
When Asola's body was placed in the hall, they realized that all this was actually true!
In order to deal with the army coming from the west, the remaining 500,000 Peacock Army has been transferred there. What should we do now?
If the Great Xia Army continues to march north...those palace soldiers will never be a match for the Great Xia Army!
They can march straight into Huayue City!
The Maurya Kingdom is facing the situation of national destruction!
But the scouts' report later was very strange. The Great Xia Army seemed to have set their sights on the Taier Mountains, and they did not come out!
This is certainly a good thing. Asoka hopes that this army will never come out. If they like the Taier Mountains, it is fine to give that place to the Daxia Army.
Now he hopes that his remaining 500,000 troops can win on the battlefield in the west, so that they will have a chance to return to defend Huayue City.
Of course, he also knew that there was a Daxia army wreaking havoc in the south of the kingdom, and he could only order the local soldiers to encircle and suppress it.
However, the result of the encirclement and suppression made him despair. Tens of thousands of government soldiers could not even catch up with the enemy.
"Now is a critical moment for the survival of the country!"
In the main hall of the Huayue City Palace, King Ashoka convened an emergency meeting.
"I now order a nationwide conscription! Every household must draft one man if he has two men, and two men if he has three men!"
"Expand the production of weapons, especially the mass production of hidden mines!"
"All the soldiers from various places are under the unified command of Prince Sangjiayi. We must completely wipe out the rats from Daxia!"
…
…
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Fu Xiaoguan felt a little melancholy.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th again.
Thinking back to the time when I was in Jinling, this was the wonderful moment when the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. How many students are there now reciting poems and composing couplets at the Lanting Collection on Weiyang Lake?
He Sandao was also very melancholy. The battle ended before he could fully enjoy it, and now he had to wait in such a boring way.
"Boss, how about I take the Marines out to harass the Peacock Nation?"
Sitting on a high hill, He Sandao looked at Fu Xiaoguan expectantly, "It's so boring to be idle. The army's food is almost gone. Should I go grab some?"
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment and said, "Go and call Guan Xiaoxi and the other commanders over to me, and bring the map of the Peacock Kingdom."
He Sandao stood up with a charming smile on his face. It seemed that he was about to have some work to do. "Okay, but Boss, next time there's work, can you let me go first?"
"But didn't you say that Zhong Yu was still waiting to give birth to your child?"
"Hey, don't worry, I'm lucky. I won't die. It won't delay my return to give birth to the baby!"
Not long after, He Sandao brought Guan Xiaoxi and others to the hilltop. The big red lanterns lit up and several people sat around together.
Fu Xiaoguan spread the map on the ground and looked at it carefully again.
"From where we are now to Huayue City in the Peacock Nation, it's approximately 1,500 miles. This route will take us through six large towns and about twenty smaller ones."
"The question now is, the Maurya Kingdom clearly still has 500,000 troops, so why didn't Asoka send them?"
"Asola was defeated here. I guess Asoka knows our intentions and was testing our patience. Now he's winning. It's not that I don't have the patience to wait any longer, but the army really doesn't have much food left. We have no choice but to leave."
Fu Xiaoguan looked up and glanced at everyone. These guys all had happy expressions on their faces. Okay, then go out and fight a head-on war with Asoka.
"Since we're going out, I'll give you all a day tomorrow to pack up. Next is my plan."
He Sandao and the others pricked up their ears immediately, and then they heard Fu Xiaoguan slowly say, "He Sandao's 10,000 Marines will be the advance team. Remember, we are not in a hurry to leave!"
"After you capture a town, your army will enter and rest for supplies. Note that there's no need to kill civilians unless they rebel."
"Chen Po and Wei Wubing's troops are the vanguard, Guan Xiaoxi's are the center, and Feng Xi's are the rear. They will coordinate with each other and advance with dignity."
"Tianji Pavilion..." Fu Xiaoguan turned to look at Ji Yungui, "Your people need to closely investigate the enemy situation in front, behind, left, and right of the army. In addition, they need to establish contact with Su Mo's troops and get them to move closer to the army, and then..."
He looked at the map again and placed his finger on it. "Let Su Mo's troops meet up with the main army in Kantil City."
"It's still the same sentence. The lives of our Daxia soldiers are more valuable than those of the enemy, so this is especially true for He Sandao!"
He Sandao's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of grievance on his face.
"Remember this: the Marine Corps is the most powerful military force in Daxia in terms of individual soldier capabilities. I hope you will use this army to its full potential, rather than resorting to brutal force!"
"Okay, everyone, go and pass on the order. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Let all the soldiers have a good meal to celebrate the festival."
Everyone stood up, saluted, and gladly accepted the order and left.
The fat man quietly sat down next to Fu Xiaoguan and took out a hot thing from his pocket. "Here, try it. Didn't you say you wanted to eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"I tried making two... I ate one and thought it was okay, you should try it!"
