Before the Dayu Divine Dynasty was destroyed, there were nine roads in Zhongzhou.

During the chaos in the world, the eight roads were left, and the capital was left, the capital was still the capital, the north wind, the east wind, the south river, the south river, the nine rivers, the forbidden river, and the eight roads of the river.

The latter three were urged by the major holy places and successively left Zhongzhou.

So by the Holy Dynasty, only five realms remained in Zhongzhou under the command of Dayu.

Ten years ago, Emperor Liang of Yu led his army across Cangyuan Mountain and attacked Zhongzhou from west to east. Later, he conquered Lincang and two roads of the north wind; Li Tingzong, the second owner of Qinjian Villa in Jizhou, and Qin Fan, the third owner of Qinzhou, led his army to attack Zhongzhou from east to west, conquered Dongyuan and Nanjiang.

Under the attack of the two sides, Dayu retreated step by step. Although Emperor Yu Jiang Bufan was fighting desperately, it was the end of the Holy Dynasty. Dayu was completely destroyed after reaching a consensus with the holy land of the world seven years ago. The children of Dayu's royal family were slaughtered, and the entire territory of Jingji Province fell, and the capital of God also fell into the hands of the Great Jin.

On October 16th, Emperor Wanyan of Yuliang was ordered by Emperor Jin to lead the 8 million Yuzhou army, as well as the millions of elite soldiers led by the four kings of Yuzhao, Xikang, Lingyun and Heisei, a total of 1,200 elite soldiers of the Holy Army. The troops were sent to Dongyuan Road and officially began to attack Qinjian Villa.

The imperial edict of Emperor Jin has spread, and Emperor Liang of Yu must conquer Jizhou occupied by Qinjian Villa within five years.

If someone else said this, it would be a joke.

But it just came from the mouth of Emperor Jin, and no one dared to take it as a joke.

The 1,200,000 elite soldiers were relying on Qinjian Villa, and it was a dream to stop them. People in the north were panic for a while.

Although the Great Jin Holy Dynasty captured Lincang, Shuofeng and the capital seven years ago, the more than 300 million people in these three roads did not think of themselves as people from the Great Jin, fled or even rebelled, and they had never stopped in the past seven years. If it weren't for the Great Jin's iron-blooded suppression, the three roads would have long been out of the way.

In fact, it is understandable that Zhongzhou is the hinterland of China and the absolute core of the former Divine Dynasty. People living on this land, whether ordinary people or warriors, have a sense of pride. Even if the Divine Dynasty has been destroyed for so long, they have never disappeared in the face of the superiority of the power of the states in the world.

People who are loyal to Dayu and always want to reappear the light of the Divine Dynasty. There are people in all states in the world, but if we talk about proportion, they are definitely the first in Zhongzhou. After all, they reappear the glory of the Divine Dynasty. However, they have adhered to the inherent concept of thousands of years, and their direct benefits are also the greatest.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least 90% of Zhongzhou people regard the major holy places in the world, and even all the warriors, as traitors, and they think they are all a group of rebels who have self-respecting troops.

The Dajin Holy Dynasty, which was suddenly regarded as a traitor, rode on its head. The mentality of more than 300 million people in Zhongzhou is conceivable.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the people are not able to tie up their hands, so they will certainly not oppose the Great Jin Holy Dynasty. Even warriors will find it difficult to make waves under the iron hoof of the Great Jin. During the period when the Great Jin Holy Dynasty just captured three roads, although more than 300 million people were dissatisfied, there were very few people who made trouble on the surface, and almost none of them were involved in the open.

The problem is that the Great Jin Dynasty not only conquered the three paths, they also had to govern the three paths, abolish the original Dayu governance system, and re-formulate the three rules with the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this way, it suddenly touched the pain points of the people.

Today, although the governance methods of each state have their own emphasis, they all apply the three Confucian ways, namely Zhuge Yuan's rule of law, Meng Qu's loyalty to the emperor, and Xun Mu's serving the people.

Among the three paths, Mengqu’s loyalty to the king, Confucianism and Taoism are the most respected. Previously, there were Zhong, Yang, Ji, Qing, Jiao, Yong, Liang, and Eight Prefectures and Eight Holy Lands, all of which used this path.

Of course, Meng Qu's loyalty to the emperor was loyal to Dayu in Yangzhou, but he could be loyal to other states, and the one who was loyal to the lord of the holy land;

The second one is Xun Mu's Confucianism and Taoism for the people, and two schools of Yanzhou and Xuzhou were adopted.

The least respected and despised by both families was Zhuge Yuan's rule of law, Confucianism and Taoism, which was recognized by the Dajin Holy Dynasty, that is, only the three states of You, Fen and Yu were adopted.

There is a reason why it is not praised.

Zhuge Yuan's rule of law, Confucianism and Taoism focused on punishment, and the rules and regulations were extremely harsh. The people in the three states of the northern region were fierce, and the fighting forces of warriors were extremely common. It was indeed miraculous to use heavy punishment rules to restrict them. However, the Great Jin Dynasty forgot that the people of the three states of the central region were different from those of the northern region.

As soon as the Jin law came, the people of the three paths immediately began to strongly resist.

The Great Jin suppressed and killed people, but this caused the resistance to the Great Jin Dynasty became even stronger, and the people's disgust of the Three Kingdoms became increasingly deeper.

Can the Jin law be changed?

Of course, it can be changed, adapted to local conditions, and normal people can think of it.

But the problem is that others can change, but Dajin cannot!

Zhuge Yuan's rule of law emphasizes equal treatment. The people of all states in the world have consistent laws and regulations, and there is no room for ease of ease.

If the three roads of Zhongzhou can be changed, can Yuzhou, Fenzhou, and even Youzhou where the Holy Dynasty is located be changed?

The people in Zhongzhou are different. Could it be that the people in the three northern provinces are exactly the same? You can always find some differences...

Under such circumstances, many people in the Great Jin Holy Dynasty knew in their hearts that the Jin law that was prevalent in the three states of the northern region was not suitable for the three paths of Zhongzhou, but no one dared to mention modifying the Jin law, so the vicious cycle began.

The more the people resisted, the bloodier the methods of suppression of the Great Jin Dynasty became.

The bloody the Great Jin suppression, the stronger the resistance in the hearts of the people.

After seven years of repeated recurrence, the current situation is that there is peace on the surface and no rebellion, but there is a lot of resentment in secret. It is assassinated by the local ruling, obeying the laws of the Jin Dynasty, secretly selling three pieces of information to major holy places... etc., such things are constantly banned.

Of course, Da Jin knew about these situations, but the road to amending the Jin law was completely blocked, so he could only continue to suppress it, hoping that time would be long, hoping that the people would adapt to it after three days.

However, at this critical moment, the Great Jin Dynasty was about to begin the Eastern Expedition.

Emperor Liang of Yu this Eastern Expedition was to fight against the allied coalition forces. Not to mention the 1,200 million troops, if possible, he wished he could transfer millions of troops from the Dajin side to ensure that he could win steadily.

The Eastern Expedition means to mobilize troops. All the troops of Zhongzhou and the three departments must be withdrawn against Jizhou. Do you ignore the three departments?

Of course, Wanyan Cheng would not make such a low-level mistake. He first reported the situation to Emperor Jin. Emperor Jin was unambiguous and directly transferred King Yucheng and King Yongwei of the Great Jin, each leading a million saints to guard the three roads, and there were ten marquises of the Great Jin, each leading an army of 500,000.

There were seven million troops guarding the three roads. Wanyan Cheng was not relieved, so he forced all the elite warriors from the three roads to join the army. There were more than three million people. He used more than 10 million troops under his command to join the Dongyuan Road. In name, he was trying to win over these forces to serve the Great Jin. In fact, he was afraid that after he left, these forces would secretly raise trouble.

Taking these people to the battlefield together can force them to be cannon fodder, and on the other hand, it can consume the foundations of the three roads of Zhongzhou. Why not do it? Although these forces are clear in their hearts, Yuliang Emperor is strong and Dajin is unreasonable, even if they are unwilling to do so, they can only be obedient.

After all, be obedient and Emperor Yuliang can still give some of them a way out. If they are not obedient, they will only have a dead end.

Therefore, the Eastern Expedition of the Great Jin Dynasty was nominally 12 million troops, but with three elite troops, the actual force was as high as 15 million. Of course, those three million were considered elite troops, which was incomparable to the organized and disciplined holy army, but they were also warriors after all, and they could play a role on the battlefield.

After learning about the Eastern Expedition of the Great Jin Dynasty, the alliance did not dare to be careless at all. It was impossible for Jizhou to be able to defend the Qinjian Villa alone.

It was almost time for the Demonic Yan Holy Sect to be conquered by Fen Ling Emperor.

If it were Jizhou, it would also be taken down by Emperor Yuliang.

It really allowed the Great Jin Dynasty to unify the six northern prefectures.

The situation of the Hedong Alliance is in danger.

The southern part of Youzhou is the source of the ancient river, the north of the upper reaches are You and Liangzhou, and the south of the upper reaches is Yongzhou. The Crescent Moon God Sect did not take the initiative to participate in the war. If the Jin Dynasty did not want to drag Yongzhou into the water, it would not be able to cross the river from the upper reaches.

The middle reaches of the ancient river are Zhongzhou in the north and Hexi in the south. The Youye Emperor Tuoba Zun has led a large army across the river and headed south. He is currently confronting the alliance army in Hexi. Even if he defeats the alliance, he has to find a way to cross the Tongtian River before entering the five prefectures in Hedong.

The lower reaches of the ancient river are Jizhou to the north and the five Hedong prefectures to the south.

If the Great Jin conquered Jizhou and unified the six states in the north, it would mean that they could directly cross the river from any part of the middle and lower reaches of the Gujiang River Basin. If the alliance was defeated in Hexi, then the Great Jin could be overwhelmed from the north and west directions. The five states in the entire alliance would have no strategic space, and they could only fight against the Great Jin to the death on their own territory.

The strategy of Dajin is obviously also moving towards this.

Therefore, the alliance not only had to block the Youye Emperor in Hexi, but also helped Qinjian Villa block the Yuliang Emperor and prevent the Great Jin from unifying the northern part.

In fact, it is not considered a gang. After all, Qinjian Villa was a member of the alliance. When the Yangzhou alliance was held, the five holy places, plus the six families of King Wuwei, were all blood-filled and vowed to jointly oppose Jin.

On the fifth day of November 1332, the alliance crossed the river from Yangzhou to the north. After arriving in Jizhou, it immediately rushed to Dongyuan Road, Zhongzhou, and joined forces with two million elite troops from Qinjian Villa. The tens of millions of troops were ready to fight, vowing to block the Great Jin outside the Dongyuan Road and destroy the Great Jin's plan to unify the northern land.

Fortunately, the southern bank of Jizhou is not far from Dongyuan Road. By November 15, the alliance's tens of millions of troops had already been west of Dongyuan Road, ready to resist the army of Emperor Liang at any time.

Generally speaking, a war with more than 10,000 troops on both sides is already very rare; over 100,000 can be called a large-scale; over 100,000 is a major battle; over 100,000 is a major battle; like Dongyuan Road, now, the combined forces of both sides are almost over 30 million, which is extremely rare to look at the history of China.

The tens of millions of coalition forces of the alliance were personally led by the old owner of Qinjian Villa and the former Grand Marshal of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, Zhao Yulong. It is said that with such experience, the alliance's military strength is not as good as that of Dajin, but it is the defensive side after all, and its performance should not be too bad no matter what.

But the actual situation is surprising.

Zhao Yulong ordered the army to line up in a row, and each of the five cities west of Dongyuan Road suppressed one million heavy troops. He personally led five million troops to the center and supported the five cities at any time.

This arrangement can only be said to be a fair and orderly one.

There are a total of 15 million troops in Wanyan Cheng's hands. This number of troops can be mobilized as long as they are not blind. Moreover, the highest sides of the battlefield are now dominated by saints.

Zhao Yulong's arrangement can follow Wanyan Cheng's siege arrangements at any time. If Wanyan Cheng raises a large army to attack one place, the alliance army can also gather together. If he dispersed the attack, he can also use the five million troops in his hands to mobilize troops to support the enemy's siege troops.

However, Zhao Yulong ignored the fatal point.

In fact, the conspiracy and tricks can no longer play a big role in the battle of warriors. After all, the enemy's troops are of great strength, the marching route and trajectory, and the top warriors of the two armies can see clearly. It seems that both the enemy and us are almost touching their faces. It is impossible to use any tricks.

In fact, Zhao Yulong cannot be blamed. He was the Grand Marshal of the former Dayu Divine Dynasty. During the peak period of the Divine Dynasty, the total number of soldiers and horses in the world was only more than 10 million, and there were no enemies of the same level as Dayu.

He has never experienced any battles of more than tens of millions.

But Dajin has experienced it...

Wanyan Cheng and Zhao Yulong had completely different ideas. He didn't want to play a protracted battle with the alliance from the beginning. Three million elite warriors made the way, and 12 million troops directly pressed over and directly picked Pingyuan City, the northernmost part of Dongyuan Road, and rushed forward.

Zhao Yulong was caught off guard and led a large army to support him. The remaining four cities immediately followed, but the speed was too slow and there was no time. When their army arrived, the defenders of Pingyuan City had been defeated by the Dajin army in front, with only half of them left. If he hadn't been coming quickly, the 500,000 would have been killed.

Wanyan Cheng also expected that Zhao Yulong was coming, and the army did not give him a chance to breathe. As soon as he captured Pingyuan City, he immediately continued to fight with the allied army that had traveled a long distance. Before Zhao Yulong even had time to see the situation in Pingyuan City, the army fought together.

No one expected that this war would start in such a dramatic way, with more than 20 million troops fighting directly outside Pingyuan City.

These are more than 20 million warriors, ninety percent of the elite saints, the Grandmaster Realm, the Yuandan Realm, and even the top warriors who have higher cultivation levels, even saints.

Once the fight started, you could hear the movements almost all the Dongyuan Road.

From November 15th to November 20th, the battle lasted for five days, with the two armies killed and injured. The alliance was pushed from Pingyuan Prefecture City to Zhutian Prefecture City to the south by the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.

Zhao Yulong didn't even have the chance to withdraw from Zhutian Prefecture City, and was repelled to Shunkang Prefecture in the middle of Dongyuan Road.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty seemed to have reached their limit, so he had a chance to breathe and ordered the army to retreat to Shunkang Prefecture.

Zhao Yulong learned to be smart, and now he no longer divided his troops. He directly let the remaining army guard the territory of Shunkang Prefecture City, staring at the Dajin army outside the city. They moved, but they did not move, and the coalition forces did not move no matter what.

After two more battles, Zhao Yulong's method still worked. Although the Jin Dynasty was strong, the scale of this battle was too large. At most, both sides gradually wiped out the opponent's vitality in the battle. It was almost impossible to defeat it in one fell swoop.

Because there are too many people fighting, he can't do it, even if Dajin can't do it.

After a while, the battle situation was so stalemate.

Although the Great Jin attacked the Dongyuan Road, it only occupied Pingyuan and Zhutian Mansions. Wanyan Cheng couldn't do it, so he could only lead a large army outside the Shunkang Mansion.

Zhao Yulong had no intention of counterattack, and only led the allied army to defend Shunkang Mansion to the death, and did not allow the army of the Jin Dynasty to pass by any means.
