Chapter 1969

Xiao Xiang took back hundreds of thousands of family troops under the twelve route princes, and all of them served as the labor force for digging canals. It can be said that Xiao Xiang killed two birds with one stone, that is, it eliminated the hidden dangers of Sichuan and solved the worries of his own. At the same time, he also benefited the people in the south of Sichuan.

On the third day of Xiao Xiang's complete dissolution of the family army, all the ministers of the state of Sichuan began to persuade Xiao Xiang.

In fact, she has the right to persuade her to enter the military.

Of course, Xiao Xiang could not help but be conventional. She refused three times when she tried to persuade her officials three times. She did not accept it until the fourth time.

At this point, a new monarch of Sichuan was officially born. What is rare is that Xiao Xiang has also become the first female monarch in the history of Sichuan.

After Xiao Xiang ascended the throne, the first thing she did was to eliminate the potential threat from her royal family.

She made Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Peng and other brothers and sisters Marquises. It seems that she is very kind and righteous. She did not indiscriminately kill her brothers and sisters, but she also granted them all Marquises. But in fact, she did not grant them half an inch of land, nor did she let them grasp any substantive rights. Moreover, she prohibited them from leaving the capital. The Marquises of these princes and princesses are quite complete The bottom of the title became a short title, in turn, he was also put under house arrest in the capital city, completely living in the control of others.

After Xiao Xuan died of illness, the fierce battle for the throne in Sichuan came to an end. Xiao Xiang stood out among many brothers and sisters. Of course, it had something to do with her own extraordinary ability, and there were also elements of luck and chance.

After Xiao Xiang dealt with all kinds of hidden dangers inside and outside the imperial court, he turned his hand to deal with the rebellion in Zhendi.

After such a long delay, the situation of the Zhendi rebellion is very different from that of the past.

Since Li Shu was secretly funded by Fengguo, he has been well equipped with military equipment, money and food, and his strength has expanded rapidly. In a short period of time, his military strength has soared to more than 200000.

At this time, Li Shu's self-confidence also expanded unprecedentedly. He no longer satisfied with the struggle for one city and one county, and began to point at Jinggu, fantiao and Bainan counties in Zhenxi.

Li Shu had already set the west of Zhenxi as the foundation, then gradually expanded to the East, and finally completed the strategic idea of recovering the whole Zhendi. However, there were a large number of central army of Sichuan state stationed in these three counties, including the ninth, 11th, 16th and 17th regiments of Sichuan, with a total force of more than 400000.

If we want to defeat the Sichuan central army with more than 200000 troops, even the Zhen people can hardly do it. However, Li Shu had such determination and courage. He led the rebels under his command to attack Bainan county first.

Among the four regiments in Zhenxi, the 17th regiment has the least strength, which is just 100000, and its combat effectiveness is the weakest. The commander is not a well-known general. A general named Dong Bo is unknown.

In addition, what Li Shu despised most about the 17th army was that it had no defense center in Bainan County, and its troops were all scattered in all counties and towns. It was easy for the rebels to defeat them one by one.

For these reasons, Li Shu advanced to attack Bainan County, and launched a confrontation with the 17th army of Sichuan.

The rebels in the central part of Zhendi even fled to Zhenxi and took the initiative to attack Bainan County, which was really unexpected to the Sichuan army. At the beginning of the war, the rebel army led by Li Shu marched into the hinterland of Bainan county.

Although the garrison of the 17th regiment in all parts of the county had desperate resistance, they were eventually forced to withdraw from their garrison because of their small number of troops.

In only half a month, the rebels went from the easternmost part of Bainan county to the westernmost part of Bainan County, and then westward, they had already left Zhendi and entered the foreign state of Chiyue bordering Zhendi.

After breaking through the border, Li Shu immediately sent envoys to see King Xu Yiman and ask him to send troops for reinforcements.

At that time, there was a constant war between the state of Zhen and the foreign countries in the western border, and Chiyue was one of the many enemies of the state. However, in the later battles, the Chiyue army, which invaded the state, was defeated by the Zhen army. The Zhen army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and attacked the country's capital directly. At last, the king of Chiyue delivered a letter of surrender and a list of orders to the state of Zhen Bow down and submit to the throne. After the surrender of Chiyue, all the Zhen troops withdrew to their own country and did not occupy a city or a town. One of the reasons was that the place was too small. At that time, the ambitious state of Zhen didn't pay attention to it. Second, although Zhen kingdom was regarded as a barbaric country in the eyes of other principalities, it was similar to other barbarians. However, the Zhen Kingdom regarded itself as a very high-ranking country and did not despise occupying the uncivilized barbarian land like Chiyue.

The more grateful he was for the "magnanimity" of the state of Zhen, the more he made friends with the country. Moreover, he was really afraid of being beaten by the Zhen people. He was afraid of the Zhen people in his heart and respected the Zhen people.

Later, the state of Zhen was destroyed, and Chiyue, who had always been peaceful and peaceful, was ready to move again. From time to time, the state of Sichuan had no choice but to garrison another regiment in the Bainan County, which borders on the border with the country.

Although the state of Zhen was annexed by the state of Sichuan, the people of Chiyue were not afraid of the people of Sichuan and showed no fear of it. However, Li Shu, as a rebel, sent a special envoy to Chiyue, but he was treated as a guest of honor by the people of Chiyue. The king of Chiyue also met with the envoys of the rebels in person. It was said that Li Shu, a descendant of the royal family of the former Zhen state, wanted to recover the land of Zhen and rescue Chiyue. Xu Yiman was on the spot He promised to send 30000 elite people to help Li Shu. As long as Li Shu was in charge of Bainan County, he would never offend him.From the more smoothly borrowed 30000 elite, so that Li Shu's strength has been improved. After that, the rebels raided the Sichuan army all over the country and directly beat the 17th army of Sichuan out of Bainan county and fled to the territory of fantiao county.

The whole territory of Bainan county was conquered in one fell swoop, which encouraged the rebels. The local people of Zhen nationality came to vote one after another. For a time, the momentum of the rebels was at its zenith. Li Shu, who played smoothly, was more confident and began to prepare for the attack on fantiao county.

In the rebel army, not all of them are Zhen people, but also feng people. At the beginning, according to the agreement between Tang Yin and Li Shu, Fengguo had a garrison in the rebels. One of the most important overseers is Tao Yuanfeng. He started his career by the military order of Fengguo. Although he was young, he was only in his early thirties. However, he had participated in too many battles. He followed Tang Yin during the war against Ningxia, and he was a veteran general. Over the years, Tao Yuanfeng has grown from a nobody to a great general.

When Li Shu attacked Bainan County, Tao Yuanfeng supported him, but now Li Shu wants to attack fantiao County, Tao Yuanfeng is against it.

Fantiao county is one of the three counties in Zhenxi with the largest number of garrisons. Originally, there were two legions. Now the remnant of the 17th regiment has fled to fantiao County, where the strength is equivalent to three regiments.

The rebel army defeated the 17th army in Bainan county. However, in the large and small battles, the number of casualties of the 17th army was even less than 1000. When they saw that their own side was defeated, their officers and soldiers immediately chose to retreat. Therefore, in so many defeats, the main force of the 17th army was not injured, and the strength was still as high as 80000 or 90000. Now, the ninth, 11th and 17th regiments of Sichuan have gathered in the territory of fantiao county. It is even more difficult for the rebels to attack fantiao county again.

Tao Yuanfeng's opinion is that his side should bypass fantiao county and take Jinggu County, which is garrisoned by the 16th regiment. After taking Jinggu County, it is convenient to send troops from Bainan county and Jinggu County at the same time to attack fantiao county from both sides, so as to maximize the dispersion of Sichuan troops in fantiao county.

Li Shu still attached great importance to Tao Yuanfeng's suggestions and listened to them carefully. However, he finally thought that he was worried too much. His own side is now in the ascendant with great momentum, while the Sichuan army is now in a losing situation with low morale. Even though there are many Sichuan troops in fantiao County, they are not enough to be afraid of.

Li Shu didn't adopt Tao Yuanfeng's tactics and insisted on his own opinions. He resolutely launched an all-round attack on fantiao county.

It was only in this battle that the rebel army suffered great resistance at the beginning of the attack. The Sichuan army in fantiao County fought to death and launched a bloody battle with the rebels.

In the first battle of fantiao County, the two sides fought fiercely, and it was really an inch of blood. The rebels were tight, while the Sichuan army was not giving in. Both sides put heavy troops into the fight for every city and even every village and town.

After a month of the war, the rebels only advanced more than 100 li in fantiao county.

At this time, the rebel army has shown a weak trend, and the continuous battle has also made the rebels feel headache. It happens that at this critical moment, Sichuan army has the intention to fight a decisive battle. All of the ninth, half and 17th armies of Sichuan gathered in Wangxi plain of fantiao county. After hearing the news, Li Shu thought that the fighter was coming, so he immediately ordered to recall the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to join forces and rush to Wangxi plain to fight the main force of Sichuan army.

The Sichuan army arrived early, waiting for work with ease, while the rebels came from a long way and fought many times. The whole army was exhausted physically and mentally. It can be said that the rebels had lost three points before the war started.

Li Shu didn't care about it. In his opinion, the strength of both sides was equal, and only this one was enough. In the case of equal strength, he was confident that no army in the world could defeat the Zhen army in the face-to-face.

In this battle, both sides put all their main forces into the battle, and the number of people on both sides was about 200000. This was also the largest battle since the Zhendi rebellion. Even Wangxi plain, which was unknown in fantiao County, became famous all over the world.

When the battle between the two sides officially started, Wangxi plain became a meat ground worthy of the name. The army battle between the two sides' needle tips against maimang turned the whole plain into a hell on earth.

During the battle, the generals and soldiers of a regiment seem so insignificant. When they put themselves into the battlefield, they will be like a drowned stone. After an hour or a few hours, they will either be corpses or seriously wounded soldiers with missing limbs and broken arms.
