The entire Shu area was filled with happiness and joy. The refugees who fled here saw that Shu was such a paradise and settled down there one after another.

The Shu government led by Guan Ning did not mind this at all and took the initiative to assume the expenses and responsibilities of more than 100,000 to 200,000 people.

They helped build houses, distributed land, and even handed over cotton and linen weaving production lines to them.

Guan Ning also received support in return soon. Although most of the refugees were women and the elderly, there were also some young and middle-aged people among them. They took the initiative to join the army and became part of the Dragon Riders.

In a short period of time, the Dragon Riders' reserve force increased by 30,000.

Taking into account the previous developments, Shu's transportation, agriculture, military, and even medical care have taken off.

Time flies, and another three months have passed.

The old emperor was still struggling to hold on, and Tongguan became the most powerful line of defense to stop the iron hoof of Xiliang. Just when everyone in the court thought that it had been stopped.

suddenly!

King Jiangxia took action. He had reached some secret agreement with Ashina Yuanlie, but he led an army of 100,000 eastwards, heading straight for the old emperor's rear, Gusu City.

The Li Wu Dynasty, attacked from all sides, collapsed in an instant. The old emperor was forced to abandon Tongguan and flee the capital, carrying civil and military officials, concubines, and endless jewels and wealth to the even colder "Yancheng"!

Once Tongguan was lost, the capital would be completely finished.

Because of heavy losses and resistance from scattered soldiers, Ashina Yuanlie was late in entering the capital, allowing King Jiangxia to arrive first.

Guan Ning was unwilling to get involved in all this trouble. He concluded that the chaos in the Central Plains would not end this year. Not to mention that the old emperor was not dead, even if he was dead, the various forces would still have to fight for several years.

But a letter for help from the capital made Guan Ning unable to sit still.

The letter came from Pei Nanyin. As a member of the royal family, she should have left the capital long ago, but the fact was not the case. Pei Nanyin stayed in the capital and hid.

Nothing serious happened to her, but her letter said that something serious had happened to Empress Fuxi.

King Jiangxia wanted to become emperor, and had imprisoned many elders of the Wu Dynasty, including Fuxi, and demanded that they submit to him. Many elders who were unwilling were slaughtered.

In addition, Ashina Yuanlie was furious when he learned that King Jiangxia had entered the city first. The 200,000-strong army was rapidly approaching the capital, and a battle could break out at any time.

In a nutshell, the capital city has become a mess and has become a place in dire straits.

Pei Nanyin, Fuxi, and Xiao Changhe are there, Guan Ning can't just sit there and watch.

One night, he told Qin Yao, Lou Xinyue, Ning Xiu and all his wives the news that he was about to go to war.

Although they were worried, reluctant and shed many tears, they finally nodded in support and told Guan Ning that they would guard the home, take good care of the children and wait for his return.

Seven days later, October 10th.

Guan Ning had made all the preparations, letting Nie Nan guard the base camp, the Shu government to maintain the operation of Shu, Roland and Hai Mei from the Huangye Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for logistics and transportation, and Liusha to be responsible for protecting Bashan's family.

On this day, he personally led 30,000 dragon cavalrymen to break out of Shu.

In the first battle, he did not launch a surprise attack on the capital, nor did he look for King Jiangxia or the main force of the Western Liang Army. Instead, he went straight to Jiangcheng, King Jiangxia's lair.

Since the other party controls Fuxi, he must have bargaining chips in his hand, otherwise he will be forced to walk away.

The Dragon Riders' first battle shocked the world.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen rushed a hundred miles and defeated King Jiangxia's fifty thousand personal guards in just one hour. They did not expect that there would be an army from Shu to attack them, let alone such a powerful one.

Guan Ning captured two kings in one battle, and King Jiangxia's two younger brothers, four sons, and all their families were under control.

The news spread and shocked the world!
