After listening to the scout's report, everyone in the camp couldn't help but look solemn.

The Shu region was not included in this round of planned war, so Huayang Hou's move was really surprising.

Of course, it is not impossible to forcefully fight, but the entire front will be stretched very long, and Shu has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it occupies a very vast area. This will pose a great challenge to the Song family's army's march and formation, and in terms of finances

You will also face a lot of pressure.

This is without counting armaments and food. Without the support of Yu Yalan, Song Xi and the Song family army would be in dire straits.

"Marquis Huayang doesn't seem to be a reckless person, so how could he suddenly decide to send troops northward?"

"Probably he is in cahoots with the Xiao family, otherwise how could he know the whereabouts of the princess? How dare he send a dead soldier to assassinate her!"

"That's right, that's right. It should be the thief Xiao Yueze's back trick. He shouldn't have been allowed to leave Yuzhou alive in the first place. This insidious and despicable thing always likes to take advantage of others' danger!"

"Marquis Huayang is also a fool. After what happened to Li Ji, he still dares to form an alliance with the Xiao family. Isn't he afraid of being used as a pawn by Xiao Yueze, a pawn, a weakling, and then step by step becoming a dead soul under the Shenwu cannon?"

"Who knows what the father and son are thinking! If you want me to see, just push the Shenwu cannon all the way and blast it all the way. No matter how difficult the road to Shu is, we can level it with him! I don't believe that Meng Yanzhen and his son will not surrender!"

Song Xi and Yu Yalan sat firmly on the main seats, meditating while listening to the arguments of their subordinates.

Although Huayang Hou's attack was unexpected, they also had corresponding countermeasures plans.

However, as discussed by the generals, it is indeed necessary to use a combination of strong attack, fast attack and surprise attack in order to minimize the consumption of the war.

The advantage of Shu lies in its terrain. If you attack with cold weapons alone, the combat efficiency will be very low. However, with the combination of Shenwu cannons and hot air balloons, and the assistance of construction robots, there should be no problem in winning this war.

Marquis Huayang dared to lead his troops to invade, and sent people to assassinate Yu Yalan regardless of life or death. The previous temporary peace was completely torn apart, and there was only one fate for the Meng family!

"Sichuan is difficult to attack, and it will be difficult for Ye Qi alone. In a few days, I will change my route to Qinxi. After meeting with Ye Qi, we will formulate a battle plan together. As for Huguang, Zhang Zhiyuan will lead an army of 100,000 people.

Guan Tianlei will be responsible for assisting and strive to win it completely within three months!"

Song Xi issued the order with a calm face, and suddenly decided to advance the plan to attack Shu.

The generals were very excited when they heard this, and quickly stood up and clasped their fists, saying: "Yes!"

After assigning war tasks, Song Xi began to arrange Yu Yalan's return journey.

Although Yuzhou has been included in the territory of the Song family, its safety factor is still not as good as that of the heavily guarded capital.

This place is not too far from the frontline battlefield, and war is about to break out in Huguang and Shu. Pregnant women with limited mobility cannot stay any longer. It is safest to go back to Beijing to wait for delivery.

On the other hand, Yu Yalan also seized the last two days and used the space to produce enough supplies and armaments. Only after all the needs of several large armies were prepared, she boarded the car and returned to the capital with peace of mind.

During this trip, in addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses who came with her, Song Xi also sent an additional army of one thousand people to escort her home.

When Yu Yalan arrived in Beijing safely, these thousand people escorted the logistics supplies back to the frontline battlefield.

Li Qian was promoted unusually by Song Xi and entered the Chief Envoy Department of Yuzhou in advance to gain experience. His temporary position was Zuo Shenzhen, and he would be promoted to Chief Envoy after he achieved good results.

Except for Ji Xuewei who will accompany Yu Yalan back to Beijing first, Yu Hongxuan and Xie Zhen will continue to stay in Yuzhou to finish the unfinished work in the epidemic area. They will then be divided into two medical teams to serve as frontline military doctors in Shu and Huguang respectively.

The vigorous battle of the Central Plains finally started, and the powerful powers from all sides began to show their special abilities.

Who will ascend to the position of leader in the future? This year's war situation is the finishing touch!

…

In the fourth year of Longhe, autumn comes.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Guan Tianlei went south to attack Huguang. By early winter, the war was going smoothly and the entire province of Huguang was under the command of the Song family.

In the winter of the same year, Song Xi and Ye Qi joined forces to attack Shu. Huayang Hou and his son were killed on the battlefield. The battle was a complete victory, and the vast land of Tianfu was officially included in the territory of the Song family.

At this point, most of the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty fell into the hands of Song Xi.

After conquering the three provinces of the Central Plains and the Shu region in the southwest, Song Xi began to replace important military and political officials in the new territory. Government affairs and defense arrangements in various places also needed to be readjusted, so that he could not reunite with his wife and children during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year.

Fortunately, with the help of ten talented people, the tedious military and administrative work can be streamlined and relaxed.

This year, the Song family controlled floods and epidemics, and conquered the hinterland of the Central Plains with absolute force. Their reputation for benevolence and righteousness was widely spread, and they completely reversed the people's misunderstanding of the Song family's army in the Central Plains.

Later, as the Song Dynasty's regime gradually consolidated in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Yu Yalan's business territory also expanded on new territories.

The post-war people's livelihood economy would have been depressed for a period of time, but thanks to Yu Yalan's business plan, several provinces in the Central Plains quickly struggled out of their weak state, and high-yield grain seeds and ecological fertilizers were also rooted in the new land.

, brought hope of prosperity to the people who suffered from wars and natural disasters, and also pushed the reputation of the Song family to a whole new level.

In the spring of the following year, Song Xi led his troops back to the capital.

At this time, Yu Yalan had successfully given birth to triplets, and the last child born was the daughter they longed for.

Song Xi was very happy to have a daughter and to win the war. He immediately announced a large banquet to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the triplets. He also rewarded the three armies and exempted more than a dozen provinces under his jurisdiction from grain taxes for one year.

The inner circle of Beijing and senior officials from all over the country came to congratulate and celebrate the Song family's double happiness.

The entire Northland and several provinces in the Central Plains were filled with joy, and even the royal family and court as far away as Jinling could feel the prosperity of the Song family.

At the same time, in the Zhennan Palace in Xingyuan, Lingnan, Xiao Yueze, who was listening to his subordinates reporting on the situation in various places, had a completely different mood.

He stood by the window, lowered his eyes and said nothing, still stroking the bullet he had taken out from his chest.

This bullet has been made into a necklace by him, and he wears it on his body all the time. When he is alone, he often takes it out to play with, as if he can see the cold and beautiful beauty through this bullet.

Song Xi conquered several provinces in the Central Plains, but he didn't think much of it when he found out.

The current winner may not have the last laugh, and who will win depends on the competition in the future.

Just like the once powerful Zhou royal family, now they only dare to hide in the small area of ​​​​Jinling.
