Chapter 153 Interception

The defeat in the southeastern area of ​​Nanchu made the battle worse. The army of Dongqi pursued Gong Yang Qiu's army all the way. Although Gong Yang Qiu tried his best to resist, he could not withstand the morale of Dongqi's army. The morale of the defeat here was greatly reduced. How could he resist the decline of one and the other?

In just five days, a county here was captured. Dong Qi did not continue to attack to the west, but began to consolidate the territory it captured. Now the defense line in the southeast completely collapsed. Dong Qi could attack from several directions at any time if he wanted to attack. The defense on Nan Chu would become difficult.

The army of Dongqi in the north began to mobilize to the south, and Dongqi had opened up a very good situation. The next step was to deploy troops, attack bit by bit, further expand the results of the battle and eliminate the army of Nanchu.

The two dynasties are two giants, and it is impossible to swallow them in one breath. The army of Nan Chu has more than one million, plus the army of the major vassal states, and the army of more than two million is so easy to eliminate? If the army is not eliminated, how can we advance? Even if Nan Chu makes a way to Chujing, the army of Dongqi will not dare to go.

Compared with the Eastern Qi and Nan Chu, the progress of the Great Zhou side was much slower. The Great Zhou concentrated its superior troops and attacked fiercely at any cost. It only captured a county city, and then tore the hole open and destroyed a county.

Then there was nothing. The North Vietnamese army was fearless under the leadership of the legendary female war god in North Vietnam. The Great Zhou attacked many times, but they all ended in failure. During this period, the Great Zhou lost more than 300,000 troops, and of course, the North Vietnam also lost a lot.

After several days of renovation, Dongqi launched another attack. The direction of the attack changed. The attack was obviously aimed at completely destroying the eastern defense line, leaving Nan Chu without a barrier, and turning Nan Chu into unpreserved fat meat, biting from wherever you want.

Sima Yue dispatched troops and continued to fight fiercely. Unfortunately, the morale of Dongqi is as bright as the rainbow, and the morale of the army in Nanchu will inevitably decline. Sima Yue's army was attacked and retreated step by step, and several cities were lost in several days.

The defense line in the east is almost useless, because the defense line is built to defend against the raids of the army in the east. Now the army of Dongqi swept up from the south, and the defense line originally built naturally has little effect. Now the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and the defense line that Sima Yue spent more than ten years to build has basically failed.

Bad news continued to spread to Chujing and spread towards the other cities, and the entire Southern Chu and the major vassal states were panicked.

Both great military gods were defeated, and the eastern and southern defense lines were torn apart. Who could still stop the army of the Dongqi army? As time went by, the Dongqi army advanced step by step, eroding little by little, and finally the Dongqi army came to the capital of Chu.

Mi Xiong's temper became worse and worse. A few days ago, a minister angered him and asked him to issue an order to directly chop him down. He continued to issue an order to send troops from major vassal states and send envoys to the Western Jin Dynasty to issue various conditions to request the Western Jin Dynasty to send troops, but unfortunately the Western Jin Dynasty ignored it.

Mi Xiong also ordered Sima Yue to counterattack, to win a victory and restore morale, otherwise they would be removed from their posts. Gong Yang Qiu did not attack rashly, but Sima Yue tried it.

He gathered all the masters in the army and sneaked into a military camp in Dongqi at night. More than a dozen masters killed in it and ignited fire everywhere. Then Sima Yue led 200,000 cavalry to attack the military camp in Dongqi.

Originally, he thought he could win a little, but he suddenly broke out in a nearby valley and seized their retreat. There were nearly twenty masters in the army. The army of Southern Chu was panicked when they found ambushing. Sima Yue could only withdraw his troops when he saw that the situation was wrong, otherwise the 200,000 cavalry might be wiped out.

He ordered the withdrawal of troops at once, and his defeat was destined. Nearly twenty masters from the enemy tried their best to stop them, and then two armies attacked each other. In the end, only 200,000 troops escaped back 130,000, and four masters died in battle. Sima Yue was considered to have lost all the rice, and he stole the reputation of his military god in one battle.

This defeat had a greater impact on the morale of the Southern Chu army. In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Sima Yue. There was a big problem with the Chu Yu Pavilion in Nan Chu. Without the helmsman, even the former helmsman might be the enemy spy. Who knows how many enemy spies are hidden inside the Chu Yu Pavilion?

Chu Yutai was half paralyzed, which had a great impact on Chu State. Dongqi knew the situation of Nan Chu very clearly, but Nan Chu was so ignorant of Dongqi. It would be difficult for anyone to fight this battle.

"Idiot, trash!"

After receiving the news, Mi Xiong cursed again and issued an order to scold Sima Yue. This time he was completely panicked. He sat alone on the throne that was high above and was depressed, with a look of depression. He felt that Nan Chu might be destroyed at any time, and his foundation for these hundreds of years would be destroyed in his hands.

"His Majesty!"

The Censor screamed again: "At such a moment, only one person can save Nan Chu. Please ask Duke Ye to come out of the mountain, otherwise Nan Chu will be really out of rescue."

"That's right!"

The Minister of War came out and bowed and said, "Duke Ye, a bloody battle in his life, never lost. Duke Ye is the real war god of our Southern Chu. When he fought with the Western Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin army was hundreds of thousands more than us. Duke Ye easily suppressed it, which shows that the Duke's ability is now only the only one who can turn the tide."

Mi Xiong was awakened by the screams of the two. He raised his head and looked at them. His expression became complicated. After he hesitating for a long time, he sighed slightly: "Huang Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, you two will invite Duke Ye to come out on my behalf. I am afraid that he will not be willing to come out to take charge of the overall situation."

"I accept the order!"

The Minister of War Huang Yang and the Censor Chen Xiongfei were overjoyed and quickly left the hall together. The other ministers in the hall showed excitement on their faces. Ye Xiangfo was the Grand Marshal of Nan Chu back then. He fought with bloody battles and had never lost any results. If he came out, perhaps Nan Chu would be saved.

Zhu Gui's eyes were very complicated. He didn't want Ye Xiangfo to come out of the mountain. The problem was that now it was indeed a very dangerous situation. Sima Yue and Gong Yang Qiu could not stop it. Ye Xiangfo might have a chance to go backwards, so he didn't say anything.

Mi Xiong refused to retreat, and none of the ministers left, all waiting for news. After waiting for more than two hours, the Minister of War and the Censor rushed over. The two looked bitter. As soon as they came in, Huang Yang reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Ye claimed to be sick and did not see guests. Wei and Duke Chen waited at the door for two hours, and still knelt at the door. Duke Ye just didn't see us..."

“Wow~”

There was an uproar in the hall, and many people showed thoughtful expressions. Some old ministers knew some old news, and were dejected and looked depressed.

Mi Xiong looked disappointed and murmured softly: "He still didn't forgive..."

The Minister of War was silent for a moment and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, please move to the Duke of the Kingdom of Judgment. Duke Ye was a powerful master back then and he should have no problem with his health. If Your Majesty respects the wise and the wise men and invites him personally, Duke Ye will definitely come out of the mountain."

"No!"

An old minister immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty is a body of gold. How can you invite a minister in silence? This is contrary to the etiquette of the king and the minister, and it must not be done!"

"yes!"

Another minister stood up, saying etiquette and morality, saying no precedent, etc.

Mi Xiong also became entangled, his face turned blue and white. He pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Since Duke Ye is sick, let him rest and retreat to the court!"

Mi Xiong strode away, as if he was afraid that his ministers would leave him. After he returned, he immediately swallowed a pill of paradise, and then called three concubines to close the door again, and ignored everything.

In the next ten days, the situation became worse and worse, and bad news kept coming, defeated one after another, lost cities, defeated one after another, and defeated one after another, and countless soldiers died in battle. During this period, the sky of the entire Nanchu felt dim.

With the rapid advance of the Eastern Qi army, the major families of Southern Chu were panicked, and many vassal states were also panicked. When the Southern Chu was destroyed, everyone would follow this big ship to sink into the abyss. Many major families began to transfer, transfer some of their property and children.

Where to transfer?

The other dynasties must not be able to go, otherwise they will be no different from the fat sheep, and they will definitely be swallowed by the big families of the other dynasties. They cannot go to the north and west, and they cannot go to the east, so there is only one place left, the Nanman Mountains.

But there is a wilderness in the Nanman Mountains. Apart from ferocious beasts, there are only witch clans. Could it be that they will join the witch clan?

In the end, many great tribes set their sights on the east side, the east side of the East Qi Continent, and the Endless East Sea. There are countless islands in the Endless East Sea, and those islands are not the sphere of influence of the East Qi Dynasty.

The Endless East China Sea is too wide, and there are millions of islands, and the Dongqi Dynasty cannot control it. Moreover, there are many sea beasts in the Endless East China Sea. Dongqi needs a powerful navy to operate these islands, which is not worth the effort.

What should I do if I want to transfer my wealth and my children to take refuge in the endless East China Sea, but there is a Dongqi Dynasty separated by the middle?

There is only one way to let a group of masters guarding him from the Nanman Mountains. Entering the Nanman Mountains all the way east, you can also go to sea. However, it is difficult to walk on the road and you can easily die in the Nanman Mountains.

Despite this, many families began to transfer, retaining incense and wealth. When the war is completely over, they will find a way to transfer back secretly and slowly rise with their incognito. As long as there is wealth and elite children, there is not no hope of making a comeback.

but……

To enter the Nanman Mountains, you need to span the Cai State or Jing State. Now the people in Cai State are hungry and there are farmers who are rebelling everywhere and bandits everywhere. On the other hand, the security in Jing State is much safer, so many families organize convoys and drive towards Jing State.

With so many families and such abnormal situations, how could it not attract the attention of Heilongtai?

The news soon reached Wu Ji. Wu Ji thought about it and felt it was necessary to report to Li Yunyi, and he was just a routine notice.

As a result, Li Yunyi was very interested and issued an order directly. All carriages passing through the border were searched. If there were a large amount of property, the toll would be charged at 10 taxes and 30 taxes.

"Ten taxes and three? Are you crazy?"

When Wu Ji heard Li Yunyi's words, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Do you know how many carriages are entering the country? There are nearly a thousand cars now, and there are thousands more in the future. The large families of Nanchu are basically all in charge. You are going to offend all the wealthy families in Nanchu. This is a huge sum of money. If you can grab it, you will probably spend your life."

"Don't panic?"
