Chapter 1236 Emperor Jingping
"General..." Seeing Su Yunwu vomiting blood, his personal guards rushed forward to support him.
"I'm fine, please withdraw quickly." Su Yunwu said: "Even if I die, I have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
At this time, Su Yunwu didn't know that his aggrievance was only just starting out.
Although there was a sea of fire in the middle, the movements of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom army could not be concealed by Xia Fan's divine consciousness exploration. However, he did not mean to withdraw the sea of fire and then pursue the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
"Just let them run away like this?" Xia Xue asked with regret.
"What about?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.
"Of course, if you chase them now, you will definitely be able to kill them." Xia Xue said confidently: "It's better for you to let me take the cavalry here..."
"Okay." Xia Fan did not refuse. With a thought, the Fire Dragon clone had already put away the sea of fire that had swallowed half of the sword-making gate. At the same time, Xia Fan also put Xia Xue's 100,000 cavalrymen out of the Tiantian's pocket.
"I really want me to go?" Xia Xue said skeptical.
"There is no joke in the army." Xia Fan said solemnly.
"Okay." Xia Xuefei said on the horse, "I will definitely not let you down."
After saying that, he had already rushed forward, raised the spear in his hand high, and shouted: "Caval, follow me to attack."
"Clear down the remaining enemies and then continue to pursue them." Xia Fan watched Xia Xue leave with 100,000 cavalrymen, and then he passed the order.
"You really feel at ease to let her go to chase the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom alone?" Xia Lei, who had just arrived, couldn't help but worry when he saw Xia Xue leaving.
"Didn't she still bring 100,000 cavalry? As long as she doesn't underestimate the enemy and just bit the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, there will definitely be no danger." Xia Fan answered casually and asked, "You are not guarding Tongtian Pass, why are you here for running here?"
"I discussed it with Xia Yu and wanted to go over and see if you need help, but I didn't expect that you would be so fierce when you fight, and you would hit the sword gate so quickly. It's so amazing!" Xia Lei bowed to Xia Fan and exclaimed sincerely.
"The father had the idea of attacking the sword-making gate, but he finally gave up." Xia Lei sighed: "So you are still amazing. We are not wronged at all when we lose in your hands."
"There is no need to be said about the past." Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "You go back later and ask Xia Yu to report the victory to the court, and send some more troops to occupy the sword-making pass."
"Okay." Xia Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll come here in person. As long as I can't die, this Sword Forging Pass will never be taken away by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom."
"Don't do this. If they want to take it, they don't have to take their lives for a broken city." Xia Fan shook his head and said, "I will take away the weapons and supplies in the city. I will use them later when fighting. The rest are refined copper ingots. You can let someone move them away, but this is all money."
"Yes." Xia Lei nodded and suddenly said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot one important thing."
While saying that, he took out a jade talisman and handed it to Xia Fan, saying, "This is just sent by the capital, and I asked you to see it."
Xia Fan nodded, took the jade talisman and glanced at it with his divine thoughts, then frowned.
It turned out that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on the Han Dynasty under the pretext of an attack. At the same time, many missions that were originally invited to the capital to watch the ceremony also declared war on the Han Dynasty as if they had discussed it.
Although these countries that were changing with the wind were small countries that were vassals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, the momentum caused was really great, giving people the feeling that the Han Dynasty was about to lose its intimidation.
As a result, even the attitudes of many small countries that were originally vassed by the Han Dynasty suddenly became ambiguous.
The only good result now is that the Tianyu Empire did not jump out and put down the wrong person. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty would have really become a dangerous situation where people would fall down and push the drums and beat them.
In addition to this matter, the jade talisman also mentioned the situation on the border between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Great Han Dynasty.
Although war has been declared and millions of troops have been stationed on the border, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has not launched an attack. This has made the Han Dynasty a little confused.
Xia Fan felt so wise when he saw this. It was obvious that the battle situation on his side had affected the strategic decision of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
At the beginning, because the King of Zhen was dead and the eight tigers of the Xia family rebelled and suffered heavy losses, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not take Western Xinjiang seriously, thinking that it would be possible to break through Tongtian Pass without much effort, and then sweep across Western Xinjiang at the time of destruction.
So at that time, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom had the idea of preparing to fight on both sides, in order to defeat the Han Dynasty as soon as possible and avoid the Tianyu Empire from intervening.
However, before the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on the Han Dynasty, Xia Fan had already attacked the Great Sun Demon Kingdom's army and pursued and fought relentlessly. The troops led by Su Yunwu were defeated repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties.
What Xia Fan didn't know was that Su Yunwu had once asked for help from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and although he had his plans, it also indirectly forced the emperor of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the ministers in the court to re-examine Tongtian Pass and the Western Xinjiang behind it.
After realizing the power of Western Xinjiang, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom could not continue to fight on the two fronts like the initial strategy formulated.
Because if the war goes well, it would be fine, but if the war is not good, it will easily be dragged into the quagmire of stalemate, which is absolutely awful.
In fact, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not dare to do this because it was to be wary of the Sky Rain Empire.
If you just fight the Han Dynasty, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is confident that it is still quite likely to win, and even if you really fight on two fronts, you are not afraid. However, because there is a Tianyu Empire staring next to you, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom must be cautious again and again.
Because if there are real problems in the battle on both sides, it is difficult to guarantee that the Tianyu Empire will not take the opportunity to stab the Great Sun Demon Kingdom in the back.
At that time, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom would not fight on two sides, but on three sides, and one against two.
No matter how confident and arrogant the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is, he dares not say that he can defeat the two huge countries, the Han Dynasty and the Tianyu Empire at the same time.
So after careful consideration, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom adjusted its strategy and changed it from a two-pronged approach to the West and then the East. To put it bluntly, it means defeating the Western Xinjiang and then attacking the Han Dynasty with all its strength.
Although Xia Fan did not obtain detailed information on the changes in the situation in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, the current situation can probably be derived from the ins and outs.
Although the pressure he has to bear will increase a lot, it is not a bad thing.
At least in Xia Fan's opinion, if he went to war with the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, his chances of winning would be at least 70% or 80%. But if the war started on the border, the border troops of the Great Han Dynasty could only be 30% of the chances of winning that could block the attack of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
From this point of view, of course, it is better for him to be the main battlefield.
…………………………………
Capital.
After a solemn but very cumbersome ceremony, the Thirteenth Prince officially ascended the throne and his reign was Jingping.
From then on, the Thirteenth Prince was Emperor Jingping in the eyes of the world.
To be fair, the year name used by the Thirteenth Prince is neither majestic nor domineering, but it seems a bit mediocre. But since he chose this, no one in the court dares to say that it is impossible.
Although he is already an emperor, the Thirteenth Prince cannot do whatever he wants. Even if he is quite annoyed, he cannot push back some things.
For example, meeting envoys from various countries is one of the many things that bore him.
No matter which emperor ascends the throne, no matter whether he is good or bad, he always hopes that there will be a situation where all nations come to pay tribute. Not to mention whether it is true or false, even if it is a superficial appearance, it will at least look good.
But the Thirteenth Prince, oh no, Emperor Jingping did not have such good luck as to ascend the throne.
Before he ascended the throne, the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom were destroyed, and the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on him the day before he ascended the throne.
This is obviously a way to make things difficult for him. It is even more boring than when Liu Xingchen ascended the throne, the Sky Eagle Popular and led the grassland army to invade the Han Dynasty.
What made Emperor Jingping even more unhappy was that this trouble was not over yet. As soon as the Great Sun Demon Kingdom declared war on the Han Dynasty, a group of vassal states of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom jumped out to bare their teeth at the Great Han Dynasty, with an arrogant attitude.
If it were the former Thirteenth Prince, he might have been tempted to death by those small missions. If he didn't put them in one hundred and eight positions to see, he would be a fake prince.
But now that he has become Emperor Jingping, he has no way to do whatever he wants. Especially since the Han Dynasty is still a big country, he always has to pay attention to the demeanor of a big country. How can he be as knowledgeable as a group of small countries?
"It's so fucking. Now that I am the emperor, I'm so angry." Emperor Jingping sat on the dragon throne and watched a group of small countries vassals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom speak loudly below. He felt extremely unhappy. He secretly judged that after he knocked the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to the ground in the future, he would send troops to pacify these small countries.
While Emperor Jingping was thinking about it, he heard a tight sound of a good news from outside.
The Han Dynasty had a name for winning the victory. If you fight against the outside world and win, the soldiers who win can ride horses across the capital and go straight into the palace, and there will be people who will help you shout for a great victory along the way.
Because the capital is too big, it can be said that from the main gate to the palace, there is also a saying of this way of winning the victory is called "passing through the city through a horse and winning the victory thousands of miles away."
The sound of the victory echoes and can spread throughout most of the capital. All you need is to tell all the people of the Han Dynasty the good news of winning the battle. Of course, if you win the battle, it is of course the glory on the emperor's face.
The last time I passed by like this, I received a victory of thousands of miles. It was when Liu Xingchen defeated Yingpotian. However, at that time, Liu Xingchen was leading his troops outside, so he naturally did not enjoy the grand scene of the victory of the people calling for long live.
Now Emperor Jingping has just ascended the throne, but he has caught up.
