As night falls, a full moon in the sky dyes Jiangxia into a piece of silver.

The air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder, but the sound of gunfire in Jiangxia had already stopped and the whole city became quiet.

Zhao Xu washed up and was thinking about how to take Changcheng.

At this time, Chang Wei knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Highness, good news, Ma Han and Lu Chang successfully took Jiameng Pass. According to the order, they were temporarily stationed in Jiameng Pass and did not go deep into Yizhou. They continued to wait for Your Highness's order." Chang Wei handed a battle report to Zhao Xu.

"Well, very good. The wars on both sides went smoothly. In this way, at least two or three months and at most half a year, Dasong's civil strife could end." Zhao Xu said.

He judged that the Western Land and Earth had obtained the news and then made judgments and deployments for at least half a year.

This matches his plan.

When the Western natives arrived in India, they wanted to intervene in the Dasong civil strife.

Then I will be stunned, and there will be no place for them to intervene in the entire Dasong.

Chang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked to the north, "If the civil strife is pacified, you can deal with foreign enemies."

Dasong's mortal enemy, Beidi, has been recuperating and waiting for a comeback.

This time, he wants to completely bury Beidi.

In addition to Beidi, there are also Western natives who intervened in the civil strife of Dasong this time.

If they weren't for bewitching the tribe, they would provide help to the tribe.

This civil strife will not last until now.

It can be said that they were also the masterminds of this war, with their hands covered with the blood of the Dasong people.

Otherwise, why do they need their compatriots to perish?

This bloody debt must be recovered.

Zhao Xu nodded, Chang Wei was scolded by him and finally got enlightened.

The eyes finally stopped not just on the powerful clan.

In fact, since he went south, he had fought a proxy war with the Western natives.

The Western natives emptied the silver of the powerful clan behind the scenes, and consumed Jiangbei's troops and financial resources through civil strife.

The most disgusting thing is that this war has made Jiangnan, which is like a flower, fragmented.

The powerful clans used one move to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and forced the people to move westward. They killed many people on the way, and then they starved to death and died of illness.

Even if Jiangnan is pacified, Jiangnan's economy will probably have to retreat ten years.

Moreover, when they moved westward, the powerful clan took the opportunity to plunder a lot of people's property.

Although he recovered some losses through the raid on Changcheng, most of his wealth was transported to Bacheng by the Liang family.

This is secondary.

The most important thing is the loss of population, from north to south, the war caused at least six million direct and indirect deaths.

The economy can recover in a short period of time, but the population cannot grow at once.

This is also what makes him most sad.

Therefore, he must calculate this debt clearly with the Western Turkish countries involved in the Dasong civil strife.

"I will make them pay a heavy price. I will get back the losses they caused to Dasong by a hundred times, a hundred times," said Zhao Xu.

Then he looked at Changcheng, "Take Changcheng, we can launch an attack on Bazhou, Yunzhou and Yizhou. We will rest for two days, and we will advance to Changcheng on the third day. We will release the news that Shacheng was lost and the Wu army was annihilated during the rest."

Both Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou are peripheral.

At present, Bazhou, Yunzhou and Yizhou are the core areas occupied by the powerful people.

Only by taking down these three states can Dasong civil strife be considered the end.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded and turned around and left.

The next day, a team of cavalry set out from Jiangxia and headed towards Changcheng.

In three days, they arrived in Changcheng.

"Your Highness is mighty, and the army of 600,000 Wu Kingdom is destroyed in an instant." Bai Shang was excited when he saw the cavalry and asked about Jiang Xia's war.

Seeing that the leader of the cavalry was holding a box in his hand, he said, "What is this?"

"The head of Liang Tong." said the cavalry, "General Chang ordered us to hand it over to the general and throw it to Changcheng."

Bai Shang chuckled softly, and he said, "If Xie An knew about the fall of Shacheng and the destruction of Liang Tong's army, what would it be?"

Thinking of this, he took Liang Tong's head.

That night, he ordered a team of soldiers to touch the city wall in the dark.

Throw Liang Tong's head up.

The soldiers of the Shi clan who were patrolling saw something black and threw it up, almost scared to death, thinking it was a firearm that the Yan King's army would explode.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, some of them had the courage to pass by.

"Isn't this the general of the country, Liang Tong?" A general recognized it and was shocked and immediately sent the head to Xie An.

At this time, Xie An was about to fall asleep. When he saw Liang Tong's head, he was so scared that he was completely lost.

"General, there is a note on the head." The general handed the note to Xie An.

After taking the note, Xie An saw a line of words written on it: Shacheng has been taken down by our personal army in the palace. Liang Tong and the 600,000 Wu army were buried in Jiangxia. He advised you to go out and accept surrender, so you can avoid death.

"This..." Xie Anru was electrocuted.

He and the generals in the city can persevere until now, because Liang Tong can lead the troops to rescue him.

But now, Liang Tong and his 600,000 troops were all wiped out, and Liang Tong was also dead.

He knew very well that the 600,000 soldiers under Liang Tong were good at fighting than the 600,000 soldiers under his command.

After all, they belong to the State of Wu and are also equipped with flintlock rifles made by the State of Wu.

Many of the newly recruited soldiers in his army were using long bows and arrows.

Furthermore, Shacheng has also fallen, which means that Changcheng is now an isolated island.

Outside the isolated island, there are areas controlled by the King of Yan.

"General, what should I do now? This matter is probably spreading in the army." A general said anxiously.

Xie An's mind was blank, and he said, "You all go out, let me think about it."

Generals look at me, I look at you, sigh and exit the room.

When they came to the street, the generals dispersed.

In the darkness, a general hid in an alley halfway.

After observing in front of a yard for a while, he pushed the door open and entered.

"As long as I burn food and grass, can I keep my food and clothing safe for the rest of my life?" He went straight to the main hall and said to the young man in the hall.

"Of course, Liang Tong is dead. In just three or five days, His Highness Yan will personally lead the army to Changcheng. At that time, it will be your chance to show off. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late." The young man said.

The general nodded, "I will do it."

After saying that, he walked out of the yard.

The young man watched the general leave and frowned.

He is the leader of the Fourth Courtyard in Changcheng.

During this period, he has been trying to win over the generals.

He even instigated Xie An's eldest son Xie Bi.

But Xie Bi was too stupid and actually blocked his father's face to reveal the matter.

As a result, he was under house arrest by his father and killed the members of the Fourth Academy who were in contact with him.

After this incident, he made other team members lie dormant and reduce their actions.

Unexpectedly, this general took the initiative to come to the door today.

He knew that these were the reasons why the King of Yan won a battle.

If this general can really burn down the food and grass that is not large in Changcheng this time.

Changcheng can be destroyed without attacking.

Five more days passed, and Changcheng was still calm.

But under the calm, a storm is brewing.

That day, Xie An thought about it all night and still gave the general the order to defend himself.

His wives, concubines and mothers are all in Bacheng. If he surrenders, Liang Kai will definitely slaughter them.
