Chapter 964 – Make an Inventory
10th month, 20th day, Great Xia Dynasty announced their overall plan for Beijiang Province to the public.
The moment the news came out, it caused a lot of conjectures.
Great Xia established a province and built a formation, and their intentions of laying root in the north were revealed to the public. Thinking back to the Handan City Army leaving Zhangwu Prefecture, it left a lot of room for imagination.
”Has Great Xia started to plan to attack the foundation of the Yanhuang Alliance?” Just thinking about it made players really excited.
Some people even boldly predicted, ”Maybe the China region will give birth to a unified empire.”
Whether Great Xia could be like Great Qin, wiping out six countries and unifying the nation, was still to be seen.
However, there was one thing that was for certain - the strength of Great Xia.
All of a sudden, more and more players applied to move to Great Xia, especially players from Dali, Qianzhou, and Chengdu.
The Great Xia population welcomed a new round of explosion. Preliminary estimations had it at around three to four million adventure gamemode players migrating over.
The three provinces that were just taken down desperately needed this new batch of players.
...
10th month, 22nd day, along with Caiyun City surrendering and Pill Sun City retreating, the Xiangnan Province situation was settled. Han Xin led the Leopard Legion Corps to meet up with Li Mu's army in Changsha Prefecture.
These two God Generals had an encounter in Guiping Pass. Seeing one another, they naturally felt complicated.
Especially Li Mu; he felt delighted that he was going to get a big position in Great Xia. At the same time, he was worried about whether the army would accept him or not. At the very least, the mountain barbarian soldiers would feel a divide with him.
During the first Guiping Pass battle, the mountain barbarians had suffered heavy casualties. Who knows how many of them were sacrificed in that battle? However, as he was working for a different Lord, they could not blame Li Mu.
As the Leopard Legion Corps marshal, Han Xin's magnanimity and experience was much different from normal mountain barbarians. Naturally, he knew that the king held Li Mu in high regards, so he would help to remove this barrier and help him merge into the Great Xia Army system.
During this meeting of the two God Generals, the atmosphere was really friendly.
...
10th month, 25th day, Chuanbei Province was settled.
Ma Chao and Zhang Xutuo's legions split into two. With the directions of the West Gate family and the support of the other territories under Great Xia, they took down city after city.
With someone leading the way, anywhere the army went saw the defending troops lose hope.
Especially after Caiyun City surrendered and Pill Sun City's army left; that was when the remaining few Lords that defended stubbornly felt despair. They knew that the Yanhuang Alliance had no ability to help anymore.
Hence, more and more of them decided to surrender.
In less than half a month, most of Chuanbei Province fell under Great Xia's rule.
As the war went too smoothly, the Great Xia Army could not do a military cleansing of the province. There were many unwilling people amongst those who surrendered, leaving behind a huge problem for future rule.
Whether it was a boon or a bane, one could only know in time.
...
On the same day, Luo Shixin and Xiao Chaogui's legions, along with the 60 thousand Qiang army, proceeded swiftly and suddenly appeared on the west of Hanzhong Prefecture, catching the enemy off guard.
On the west of the prefecture was Hongyuan City.
That afternoon, one-third of the territories in Hanzhong Prefecture had fallen.
On the 27th day, Min City in the middle fell too. Getting the news, the remaining Lord in the east - Qingqing Xiaofeng - did not try any useless resistance and chose to surrender.
At this time, even if he sought protection from the Shu Han Dynasty, they could not make it here in time, as it would take two to three days to get here from Chengdu.
Hence, in only three days, Hanzhong Prefecture fell. During the entire battle proceeding, the neighboring Fallen Leaf City did not show any signs of interfering.
That was because Great Xia was terrifyingly strong after taking down three new provinces. Wandering Magic obviously did not dare to think about doing anything. He was afraid Great Xia would use it as an excuse to attack Fallen Leaf City.
If that happened, he would lose it all for nothing in return.
Successive defeats in battle placed the Yanhuang Alliance in a really bleak situation.
...
Along with Hanzhong Prefecture being taken down, the entire southwest battlefield came to a stop. Getting the news, Fallen Phoenix City and West Chu stopped the standstill at the border.
