On the 20th of October, the Great Xia Dynasty announced the "Overall Adjustment Plan for the Northern Frontier Province".
As soon as the news came out, it triggered all kinds of speculation.
The Great Xia Dynasty established a province and formed an army. Its intention to take root in the north was already clear. Coupled with the evacuation of Handan City a few days ago, it really made people's imaginations run wild.
"Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty has already started to attack the Yan Huang Alliance's base?" Just thinking about it made the players extremely excited.
Some people even boldly speculated, "The China region may really give birth to a huge empire that unifies the world."
Whether the Great Xia Dynasty could successfully emulate the Great Qin Dynasty and wipe out the six countries and unify the world, no one could say for sure.
However, one thing was certain, and that was the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty. For a time, more and more players applied to settle in the Great Xia Dynasty, especially the players from the three capital cities of Dali, Quanzhou, and Chengdu.
The population of the Great Xia Dynasty ushered in a new round of explosive growth. Preliminary estimates showed that there would be three to four million adventurer players settled in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty, which had just conquered the three major provinces, needed another batch of adventurer players.
…
On the 22nd of October, following the surrender of Rosy Cloud City and the withdrawal of Danyang City, the Southern Hunan Province was pacified. The Leopard Army led by Han Xin and Li Mu's army met victoriously in Changsha County.
The two Godly Generals had a confrontation at Guiping Pass. Naturally, they had mixed feelings when they met again.
Especially for Li Mu, he was looking forward to displaying his talents in the Great Xia Dynasty, but he was also worried about whether the Great Xia Army would accept him. Not to mention other things, the barbarian soldiers were probably estranged from Li Mu.
During the first battle at Guiping Pass, the barbarians suffered heavy casualties and sacrificed themselves heroically. This scar was not so easy to erase. However, at that time, they had their own masters, so it was really inappropriate to blame Li Mu.
As the commander of the Leopard Army, Han Xin's breadth of mind and vision were naturally different from ordinary barbarian soldiers. He knew that the king valued Li Mu very much, so he naturally took the initiative to help Li Mu eliminate the estrangement and gradually integrate into the Great Xia Army.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious during the first meeting between the two Godly Generals.
…
On the 25th of October, the Northern Sichuan Province was pacified.
Ma Chao Legion and Zhang Xutuo Legion were divided into two groups. Under the guidance of the Ximen Clan, and with the support of the other feudal lords of Great Xia, they besieged cities and seized strongholds.
With a leading party, wherever the army passed, the territories would surrender at the mere sight of them. They were practically invincible.
Especially after the Rosy Cloud City surrendered and the Pill Sun City retreated, the Northern Sichuan Province Lords who were still stubbornly resisting were truly in despair. They knew that the [Yan Huang Alliance] could no longer participate in the war in the Northern Sichuan Province.
As a result, more and more people surrendered.
In less than half a month, the entire Northern Sichuan Province was brought under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Because the war was too smooth and there were very few intense battles, the Great Xia army did not have the time to carry out a military purge of the North Sichuan Province. There were many people who went against their will in the camp that surrendered, and this left a huge hidden danger for the future governance.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was really difficult to immediately come to a conclusion.
…
On the same day, the Luo Shixin Army, Xiao Chaogui Army, and sixty thousand Qiang Tribe soldiers hurried through the forested Qiang Commandery. They suddenly appeared on the western side of Hanzhong Commandery, catching the enemy off guard.
Situated at the west of Hanzhong County was Hongyuan City.
On the afternoon of the same day, Hongyuan City, one of the three major territories of Hanzhong County, was declared to have fallen.
On the 27th of October, the central territory of Hanzhong County, Min City, also fell. After receiving the news, the lord of the eastern part of Hanzhong County, Qing Qing Xiao Feng, no longer fearlessly resisted and decisively chose to surrender.
At this time, even if Qing Qing Xiao Feng applied to the Shu Han Dynasty for protection, the Shu Han Imperial Guards would not be able to rush over as reinforcements. This was because it would take two to three days just to travel from Chengdu to Hanzhong County.
As a result, in just three days, the entire Hanzhong County fell. Throughout the course of the war, Luoye City, which was adjacent to Badong County and Hanzhong County, did not show the slightest bit of covetous intentions.
This was because the Great Xia that had conquered three major provinces was so powerful that it made people's hearts turn cold. Piao Linghuan did not dare to have any thoughts at this time. He was afraid that the Great Xia would use this as an excuse to directly attack Luoye City.
If that was really the case, then the gains would not make up for the losses.
After successive defeats, the entire [Yan Huang Alliance] was filled with a sense of desolation.
… …
With the capture of Hanzhong County, the entire southwest war also officially came to an end. After receiving the news, Luofeng City and West Chu also lifted the border confrontation, and the troops returned to normal.
The Lü Bu army that was ordered to rush to Wan Shi City also returned to Shanhai City a few days ago.
At this point, this epic war that had lasted for more than two months and affected the entire wilderness had finally come to an end.
As soon as the war ended, all the major media outlets did a comprehensive inventory.
Without a doubt, the final result was that the [Yan Huang Alliance] suffered a double loss. Not only did they not manage to save the Swordsman City from destruction, they also lost 150,000 elite troops in vain.
Handan City not only lost half of Zhangwu County, but also an "evenly matched" neighbor to the west.
As the saying goes, "How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed?" However, with the Great Xia's arrangements in the Northern Borderline Province, Handan City had no way to remove this chess piece. No matter how uncomfortable it was, they could only swallow this grievance.
It was reported that on the day that the Great Xia announced the "Northern Borderline Province Overall Adjustment Plan", Di Chen locked himself in his study alone for the whole day to "reflect on his mistakes".
The next morning, Di Chen gathered all the civil and military officials and announced a new round of military expansion plans. In order to make up for the population shortage caused by the recruitment, Di Chen had to recruit a large number of players to settle in Handan City.
Dan Yang City's attack on Xiangnan Province had a strong start but weak finish. Not only did it not achieve any results, but it also showed the outside world how weak Dan Yang City was. The media called it a "silver spear tip".
It looked good but was useless.
Almost at the same time that Handan City announced the expansion, Dan Yang City, Hegemon City, Blood Red City, Luoye City and Asura City all announced the expansion.
The members of the [Yan Huang Alliance] realized that if they did not take advantage of the time when the Great Xia "digested their prey" to complete a new round of military expansion, when the Great Xia came out to hunt again, it would be the time when the Great Xia Alliance would be in trouble.
For this reason, the five major clans had to use all their resources and connections to offer a lot of preferential conditions to recruit a large number of players to settle in their territories and make up for the population shortage.
On this point, Wandering Huan, who was born as a commoner, was very embarrassed.
Luoye City not only had to face the direct threat of the Great Xia Alliance, but also did not have the ability to recruit a large number of players. Even if they did, Wandering Huan and his team would not be able to control them.
In the end, Wandering Huan could only forcibly recruit soldiers. At one point, the ratio of soldiers to soldiers in the territory was increased to 1: 9. This also buried a huge hidden danger for the future development of Luoye City.
Di Chen and the others were very determined. In a situation where the territory area could not be expanded, they had to complete the military expansion without affecting the operation of the territory. They could only continue to strengthen the territory's population.
In terms of territory, the wilderness was more than enough. Including the Great Xia Dynasty, every territory and every city had a huge potential to be excavated.
What the [Yan Huang Alliance] had to do was to excavate this potential even more crazily than the Great Xia Dynasty. "Since we can't win in terms of territory, then we have to work hard on the quality of development." Di Chen said.
This was one of the sequelae of the war. An epic war would not really end with the two sides stopping fighting. The aftermath of the war was deeply affecting the structure of the China region.
… …
In this epic war, it was not only the [Yan Huang Alliance] that was unlucky.
[North Sichuan City-State] and [South Hunan City-State], which had an ambiguous relationship with the [Yan Huang Alliance], at the same time became a fleeting cloud. The influential figures of the two city-states either surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty or ended up in a miserable state.
The prosperous era of city-states came to an abrupt end.
The South of Rosy Clouds, who had just joined the [Yan Huang Alliance] camp, then surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty. The South of Rosy Clouds was named by the media as the "most unscrupulous" lord, and was ruthlessly nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The four lords of Dali County took the "money" of the [Yan Huang Alliance], but failed to eliminate the disaster for the [Yan Huang Alliance]. They also ended up dying and their territories were destroyed.
The [Xiao Alliance] directly changed their banner. The biggest dark horse in the wilderness guild circle, the Xiao family of the hidden aristocratic family, quietly retreated. They once again lived in seclusion and licked their wounds in the dark.
The Shu Han Dynasty wanted to intervene in the war in the wilderness, but in the end, they came with a free one-week trip. What was worse was that as the four counties of Shu were conquered by the Great Xia Dynasty, Chengdu County was immediately surrounded by the Great Xia Dynasty.
The current Shu Han Dynasty was like a bird in a cage. With the methods of the Great Xia Dynasty and the grudges between the two, the players could already foresee that the Shu Han Dynasty was not far from being destroyed.
Both the players and the natives began to flee Chengdu in large numbers. The ambitious Shu Emperor, Liu Bei, not only failed to unify Shu, but he was also trapped.
The Dali Imperial Court was instigated by others to intervene in the war of the Great Xia Dynasty. Immediately, they suffered the vicious retaliation of the Great Xia Dynasty. The entire Dali County was razed to the ground and became a wasteland, almost cutting off the external foundation of the Dali Imperial Court.
Naturally, there were those who were disappointed and those who were pleased.
Needless to say, the Great Xia Dynasty won a great victory. The rewards were so great that it made people salivate. Not only did it unify the southwest, it also extended its tentacles into the central region.
As such, the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely connected to the [Yan Huang Alliance].
The players seemed to have a premonition that in the future, the two giants would have an even more intense clash. More than eighty percent of the players were optimistic about the Great Xia Dynasty and lost confidence in the declining [Yan Huang Alliance].
Other than the Great Xia Dynasty, High Official Ximen, who was rumored to be appointed as the governor by Emperor Xia, along with the Ximen family behind him, became the biggest beneficiary of this war.
It was precisely because of High Official Ximen's clear-cut stand on the side of the Great Xia Dynasty that the southwest war ushered in a turning point. It greatly accelerated the speed of the Great Xia Dynasty in taking down the two major provinces.
While the outside world was envious of the Ximen family, they also admired High Official Ximen's decisiveness.
Some people jokingly said that High Official Ximen was a gambler. He made the right gamble at the right time and won a crucial victory for his family.
