At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

After nearly a month of normal marching, on this day, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Xia Yun successfully entered the Northeast region.

On the way from Shaanxi and Gansu to Changchun, the army did not stop for too long.

Even when passing through Zhili, he did not enter the capital.

In Xia Yun's opinion, the war is not over yet, and now is far from the time to reward people for their contributions.

"General, I just received a letter from Lord Zhao Gongming. 380,000 barbarian troops are currently attacking north of Changchun. Many cities have been forced to withdraw. Zhao Gongming requested that our army speed up and reach Changchun as soon as possible!"

During the march, Qin Tianye hurriedly found Xia Yun with a letter from the front.

Over the past month, they have always maintained contact with Changchun.

Just over a month ago, the barbarian troops' strength in the Changchun area directly increased to 380,000.

Not only that, these 380,000 barbarian troops also launched large-scale attacks on Changchun City several times.

Fortunately, Zhao Gongming had extensive experience in defending cities, and there were already 250,000 defenders in the city.

Therefore, after several days of massive attacks, the barbarian troops changed their targets and launched a dispersed encirclement of the cities around Changchun.

"Reply to Zhao Gongming immediately. The army will arrive in Changchun in two days. Ask him to lead the garrison of Changchun and strictly guard against the barbarians! The garrison in the city can take the initiative to attack and support the other trapped cities."

After thinking for a few moments, Xia Yun immediately responded.

Since leading his troops to fight in the first half of the year, he has gradually adapted to this never-ending war.

However, for him right now, the real concern is not the 380,000 barbarian troops.

According to a report from Zhao Gongming some time ago, there are still about 240,000 to 250,000 troops of the Daliang Dynasty in the entire Northeast region.

Now with the addition of the 370,000 troops under his command, the total number has reached more than 600,000.

Six hundred and one thousand versus three hundred and eighty thousand.

No matter how you look at it, the barbarian troops have no advantage.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that there is actually no need to worry too much about the threat of barbarian invasion this time.

It is only a matter of time to wipe out this 380,000-strong barbarian army in one fell swoop.

But the Dune Dynasty in the north has not taken any overt action so far.

Not to mention any action, the Dune Dynasty hasn't even shown up yet!

"Marshal, the exploration team we sent to the Northeast reported that they discovered an oil field with very rich reserves in the Daqing area of ​​the Northeast."

Qin Tianye continued to report.

As the army officially entered the Northeast, they received more and more news.

"Notify the exploration team to immediately take all the exploration data back to the capital, and report the matter to Wan'er."

A rare look of joy appeared on Xia Yun's face.

Things turned out just as he expected. There were indeed rich oil resources in the Daqing area of ​​Northeast China.

In this way, the urgent problem of Dai County's production task was finally solved.

"Yes, Marshal."

Qin Tianye immediately nodded in response.

"Order the army to speed up the march immediately. We must reach Changchun before the evening of the day after tomorrow!"

Xia Yun immediately gave the order again.

……

In a flash, another two days passed.

This day's evening.

Following Xia Yun's strict marching orders, hundreds of thousands of troops finally arrived at the city of Changchun.

Originally, there was a barbarian army of 100,000 people stationed on the outskirts of Changchun City.

But when this barbarian army learned that Xia Yun's army was about to arrive in Changchun, they slipped away to the north of Changchun city long before Xia Yun's army appeared.

"Grand Marshal, it's been a long time since we last met."

Outside the gate of Changchun, Zhao Gongming, who had gone out of the city in advance to greet him, walked up to Xia Yun the moment he saw him and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Zhao, when did you and I become so careless?"

In response to Zhao Gongming's joke, Xia Yun laughed.

Then Xia Yun turned his gaze to Xiao Yan standing beside him.

"Ninth Prince, Xia is here."

Xia Yun nodded towards Xiao Yan.

"The great commander-in-chief has great military power. Wherever he goes, the enemy is defeated. He is truly the best commander-in-chief of the Liang Dynasty!"

Xiao Yan gave Xia Yun a thumbs up and his words were full of praise.

But when Xia Yun heard these words, he was a little confused.

The first warmaster?

When did this rumor spread?

Just when Xia Yun was confused, Xiao Yan saw through Xia Yun's thoughts and immediately explained them.

"After the great victory in the Hexi Corridor, His Majesty personally praised you as the best commander of the Daliang Dynasty in the court. This was not something I said, but is now a fact recognized by the court and the public."

Xiao Yan explained with a smile.

Over the past month, he and Zhao Gongming had also learned the news of the great victory in the Hexi Corridor.

When the two first heard the news, they thought it was a rumor.

After all, there are 400,000 barbarian troops stationed in the Hexi Corridor. The number alone is much more than when the Japanese pirates invaded Zhejiang.

What's more, the terrain in the Hexi Corridor is very conducive to barbarian warfare.

Therefore, according to his and Zhao Gongming's original estimate, even if Xia Yun could win in the Hexi Corridor, it would take at least two or three months.

But what shocked them was that not only did Xia Yun not spend two or three months, but he wiped out all the 400,000 barbarian troops in the Hexi Corridor in just half a month, leaving no one alive!

Such an achievement is enough to be hailed for all eternity!

Now, Xia Yun had just led a large army to Changchun, and the 100,000 barbarian troops outside the city of Changchun were frightened at the news.

This was certainly due to the difference in numbers, but it was also due to the barbarian troops' fear of Xia Yun.

"You are being too kind. If the three armies had not fought desperately, I would not have been able to pacify the barbarian troops in the Hexi Corridor in such a short time."

Xia Yun smiled and waved.

The first military commander of the Daliang Dynasty, this title indeed sounds very domineering.

But for him now, this title will only make him more enemies.

"Brother Xia, there is no need to be too modest. With your current achievements, you are worthy of the title of the first commander of our Daliang Dynasty."

Zhao Gongming saw the worry in Xia Yun's heart, and then waved his hand and let out a very hearty laugh.

During this period of time, Zhao Gongming had had enough of the barbarians' bullying on the front battlefield.

But Zhao Gongming was extremely happy about what was happening within the Daliang Dynasty.

The most crucial reason was that more than a month ago, Xu Miao believed Pei Xingyuan's one-sided words and openly gathered a group of Jiangnan Party officials to force the empress to abdicate in the court and impeach Xia Yun.

In the end, the empress was furious and stripped Xu Miao of all his official positions and ordered him to return home to be raised.
