Chapter 5902: Changes in the Storm
On the first day of the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was an exciting day for Ning Lin or Wei Xiao.
Because early this morning, Dai State Camp opened the door itself, and Dai Army general Xiao Da surrendered with less than 60,000 remaining Dai Army.
On this day, Wei Xiao met the famous general of Dai Guo, Xiao Wuxun, but at this moment he had committed suicide two days ago. The most famous marshal of Dai Guo, would rather die than surrender.
Ning Lin looked at Xiao Wuxun and felt deeply moved and immediately ordered a grand funeral.
The entire Dai State soldier buried Xiao Wuxun in an extremely sad and angry situation. Although they were defeated by Ning Lin, Ning Lin was originally an enemy, and more of them transferred hatred to the head of the royal court who was thousands of miles away.
After surrendering, Xiao Da and others also knew that not long ago, Qi Zeguang promoted his grandson who was only six years old to the throne. This famous coach of Dai Guo, who was almost as famous as Xiao Wuxun, had become the essential master of Dai Guo and the regent of Dai Guo.
Xiao Da and others were also furious about this matter. After all, if Xiao Wuxun could go back, he would most likely become King Dai. As a result, not only did he not become King Dai, but he even died in the snow and ice.
Li Guangxun naturally saw the subtlety of this, so after surrendering, he also used this aspect to deliberately amplify their hatred for Dai Guo and at least for Qi Zeguang. He believed that after the beginning of spring, they would completely become the main force to destroy Dai Guo.
After the New Year, Wei Nao also received good news, destroying Xiao Wuxun, making him feel like he was ten years younger. His ambition, which had been somewhat eroded, suddenly ignited again. Before the spring began, he directly ordered various prefectures and counties to allocate materials to prepare for the next year's war of destruction of Dai.
More than a month later, the first spring rain declared all rebirth. After nearly three months of preparation, the Wei State had 500,000 troops divided into two groups and rushed towards the Dai King's Court.
The two armies were commanded by Ning Lin, Li Guangxun as the deputy commander, and Xiao Da and other surrendered generals were also incorporated into it, with a total of 200,000 people, directed to the royal court. The northern army had commander Wei Xiao, Huang Sen, Wei Huang as the deputy commander, and Zhou Chengzhi as the vanguard, with an army of 300,000 to attack Qingye City.
The reason why the southern army was killed by Wang Ting was only 200,000, while the northern army was 300,000, because Qingye City was Qi Zeguang's nest and was his core. Although Wang Ting now changed his grandson to be the king, in fact, the royal court was not stable, and it was even a weaker party. Of course, more importantly, according to the realization judgment, it is very possible to move the royal court to Qingye City in order to better control it.
Ning Lin trusted Xiao Da's tens of thousands of people along the way. They not only pointed out the way for Ning Lin, but also persuaded some people to surrender along the way, but also dared to be the pioneers and rushed all the way, killing the people blocked along the way, directly opening a passage for the army.
Just like Ning Lin's prediction at the beginning, when he found that he could not stop the attack of the Great Wei, Qi Zeguang forced the royal court to Qingye City. The kings seemed to be like decorations, leaving tens of thousands of old, weak and remnants to guard it.
The Northern Army, which was different from Ninglin, did encounter relatively strong resistance, and the target Qingye City also had a very important place, which was located on the most important passage between Daiguo and Daxia. Before Daiguo invaded Daxia, he used Qingye City as the rear of the attack.
After Xiao Wuxun committed suicide and Xiao Da surrendered, Qi Zeguang felt something was wrong, so he contacted Daxia and was willing to return one of the two occupied counties in Daxia in exchange for Daxia to help retreat the enemy, but Daxia was not stupid, so he asked Qi Zeguang to spit out both counties.
Originally, Qi Zeguang was still arguing with Daxia, but the Southern Army was too fast and had reached the capital before entering Xia.
Although Wang Ting had long been transferred from this king to Aoye City, the situation worsened more than he had imagined, which forced him to make compromises.
When the summer officially entered, Ning Lin's army completely cleared the surroundings of the capital. In fact, many people were losers in the battle for the throne. Xiao Da's arrival made many people surrender, and eventually made the capital a completely lonely city. The royal court in the capital was not there, and the two sides did not fight at all. They were just negotiating conditions. In the end, they sold the capital at a very reasonable price.
When the capital was sold here, a war broke out in Qingye City. Qi Zeguang personally led 50,000 cavalry to choose Qingye Plain to attack the Great Wei army. The two sides fought a bloody battle, and the Great Wei lost more people, but finally resisted.
Although Qi Zeguang had the advantage, he felt powerless in the face of the 300,000 army and had to retreat to Qingye City after taking some advantage.
At this time, Qingye City was sufficiently well-off and the surrounding area had done a lot of work to clear the fields before the Great Wei army came, leaving the 300,000 troops of the Great Wei army without good supplies.
Qi Zeguang's victory lies in the consumption of both sides. When the food and grass brought by the Great Wei were almost consumed, the grain and grass brought by the Great Wei army was cut off, forcing the Great Wei army to retreat. However, with the fall of the southern king capital, Ning Lin could lead at least 150,000 troops north before autumn and bring more food and grass from the king capital, which put Qi Zeguang in a dilemma, so attracting Xia Kingdom to the final chance of victory.
As Qi Zeguang gave up the two counties occupying Daxia, the envoys of Daxia also arrived at the capital of Wei and asked Dawei to retreat.
Today, Daxia has gradually recovered from the crisis of being surrounded by enemies. After abating, Dawei, a gradually powerful opponent, naturally became the target to be curbed or even destroyed.
Faced with such a situation, Wei Nao was not Wei Qian. He had never thought of enduring it. And seeing that Dai Kingdom was about to be destroyed, he was not willing to compromise. More importantly, Daxia now has to face the looting of the Three Barbarians every winter. Even if he could free up his hands, he had to wait for the next year. So while dragging with the envoy of Xia Kingdom, Ning Lin asked Ning Lin to take down Qingye City as soon as possible and destroy the other party's royal court.
When Wei Nao's order arrived, Ning Lin had already met with others and completely surrounded Qingye City. However, Qingye City was really solid. The city walls were not only tall, but also extremely strong. Even the cannons could not be knocked out. At most, they could only smash some walls.
Such a city needs to be captured with force. Although the troops are 300,000 more than the opponent, this is not the case.
However, in the face of Wei Nao's will, everyone was in a dilemma, especially in the presence of Wei Xiao, but Wei Xiao made a person surprised everyone, but Ning Lin felt very responsible. He took the initiative to propose that he did not need to pay attention to Wei Nao's orders, and he was willing to bear all the consequences himself.
