The first year of the Dragon Age, the first month.

Li Jing ordered Cui Anqian to be the general of the Western Expedition, heading in Chang'an, the commander of the capital, and continued to sweep the vassal states in Longyou, Shuofang, Guanzhong, and the area without surrendering the vassal states. He ordered Zeng Yuanyu to be the general of the Southern Expedition, commanding 100,000 troops, heading Wuguan, responsible for attacking Shannan, Jingnan, Eyue and other Jianghan areas. Zhao Yu was also appointed as the general of the Eastern Expedition, commanding 100,000 troops, heading Xuzhou, and attacking Zhu Wen in Henan.

The war was extremely smooth. On the fifth day of the second month, Cui Anqin, the general of the Western Expedition, led his troops to attack Zhu Mei from Chang'an, conquered Bining Town, and then went to Ningzhou. Zhu Mei was defeated and captured, and Bining Town was destroyed. Zeng Yuanyu also defeated Niu Xu, the governor of Xichuan who led his army northward, and took advantage of the situation to pursue the defeated army, marched southwest along the Han River, conquered Yangzhou, and captured Liangzhou, the garrison of the vassal state commander of Shannan West Road. Then he conquered Fengzhou, Xingzhou, Lizhou, and the south conscripts went straight to Jianmen Pass and approached Shuzhong.

Zhao Hun, the general of the East Expedition, went north from Xuzhou to attack Xuanwu. Zhu Wen had been surrounded by all sides. Although he wanted to resist stubbornly, under the coordinated combat of the elite Qin army, especially on the open plains of the Central Plains, the Qin army's cavalry and artillery fought together. Xuan Wu army quickly lost all its outer strongholds and finally had to retreat into various strong city fortresses to defend. Xuan Wu's prefectures, except for several big cities such as Bianliang and Chen Xu, all other counties and villages were completely wiped out by Zhao Hun.

After Zhao Xi wiped out the rural areas of Xuanwu, Zhongwu and other counties, he began to divide the Liang army into various cities, isolated the Liang army, and then attacked one by one. He defeated Chenzhou and Xuzhou in succession, captured more than 30,000 enemies and more than 10,000 horses. Then he took advantage of the victory to kill Xuanwu. He attacked Bianliang from Bianhe, Caihe and Baigou. Another group of troops left Wulao and attacked Zhengzhou.

Zhu Wen was forced to give up Zhengzhou. He gathered his troops in Bianliang and fought against Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu and Zhu Wen fought against Bianliang with Zhu Wen. The Tang army advanced along the water and land. Tens of thousands of troops besieged Bianliang for more than a month. Zhu Wen was ineffective in food and grass. In the end, the Qin army used mines to blow up the water gate of Bianliang. The navy and marines attacked into the city, which was difficult for the Liang army to stop. Although they fought to the death, after three days of bloody battle, the Liang army was almost killed and injured. Even Zhu Wen himself was killed in the Yacheng Festival Hall, and the entire Henan territory was pacified.

Wang Yanzhang, Li Cunxiao, Gao Siji and more than a dozen generals set out for Bianliang at this time. On April 20, these generals with shining stars hanging on their shoulders had arrived in Bianzhou, Henan Province. Now the Henan region is bounded by the Bian River, and the western part of the Bian River is roughly designated as the Henan Province, and the east side of the Bian River is roughly included in Shandong Province.

Zhao Yuan, the general of the East of the Expedition, personally went to the Bianhe Wharf to welcome the officers.

"The last general will pay homage to Shuai Zhao!" Wang Yanzhang and others stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Qing smiled and went up to greet them one by one. The lineup of the officers who went south this time was extremely strong. In addition to Liu Xun in Fujian and Li Rang in charge of Qian, Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu were now in Jiangdong, the remaining nine Taibaos were all here. In addition, the Red Star young generals in the army, Guo Wei and Guo Tao, also came together. In addition, Zhang Chengzong, Liu Shouqian, the second general of the imperial front, and Guo Zhenshan, Guo Zhenhai, Li Wei, and Li Juyi, came together.

In front of these young and powerful sects, Zhao Qing, the general of the East, dared not put on airs at all. Not long ago, the court had abolished the original Five Army Governor's Office and separated it into the two north and south yamen. The original Qin army was thus divided into two major systems.

The Northern Ya Imperial Guard is in charge of 460,000 imperial guards, and the 460,000 imperial guards are divided into 16 armies, namely the left and right Yulin Guard, the left and right Jinwu Guard, the right and right Qianniu Guard, the left and right Shence Guard, the left and right Shenwu Guard, the left and right Shenwei Guard, the left and right Longwu Guard, and the left and right supervisor guard. The Northern Ya Imperial Guard is 460,000 imperial guards, who are specifically responsible for the defense of the capital area and several accompanying capitals separated in various places. They are the most elite combat troops.

The Nanya commanded the guards. The Nanya has the 12 guards, namely the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards. They commanded the 540,000 guards across the country, responsible for border defenses and defenses in the capital and other cities.

The General Office of the Staff, the Ministry of War, the 16th Army Imperial Guards of the Northern Yai, and the 12th Army Guards of the Southern Yai, this new military system commands millions of standing troops across the country. According to the new military system, the General Office of the General Office of the State Council is still in charge of the dispatch of troops, and the North and South Yai, but the North and South Yai, cannot usually mobilize the troops. The Second North and South Yai, each army has five divisions, each division has two brigades, and each brigade has five battalions, and each battalion has five gangs. In the absence of combat, the troops are usually stationed in various places in battalions. The Supreme Commander is the commander of the battalion, and the Imperial Guard is the commander of the brigade. Further up, although there are organizational arrangements, the officers have no right to directly command the combat units of the subordinates. Only when wartime, the emperor ordered the selection of generals, the Senate issued the transfer order, and the Ministry of War issued the Tiger Talisman Soldier Seal, so that the general can truly command the troops of the army and the division.

Zhao Yun knew very clearly that although this was not a hidden bow, it was also considered a inevitable restriction on military and generals after the world was pacified by all dynasties. The more senior generals like him were, the more rare he had the opportunity to command troops. On the contrary, these young generals with the title of major general and brigade general will only belong to them in the future.

These young generals arrived at the emperor's will and were prepared to lead their troops to fight in Shannan.

According to the strategic layout of Li Jing and the Senate, the court's strategy to pacify the world was still to start with the west and then the east. Judging from this situation, after sweeping Henan, the official army will temporarily maintain its original state on the eastern front, and concentrate its forces to attack Guanlong while drawing elite troops, and at the same time attacking Bahan and Jingxiang areas.

The first stage is to wipe out Guanlong and Henan, the second stage is to wipe out Bahan and Jingxiang, the third stage is to take Shuzhong, and the fourth stage is to attack Hunan, Jiangxi and Eyue, and finally go down the river and sweep the southeast.

The generals came and brought Li Jing's order, and Zhao Yuan continued to take charge of Xuzhou. However, most of his troops were transferred out to Zhang Zimian who came with the generals, and he and the generals led Qin Zongquan in attacking western Henan and Liu Jurong in Xiangyang.

Li Jing and the Senate analyzed that although Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu had already betrayed Li Jing, they were now in a dilemma and did not dare to further openly rebellion. They were unwilling to take a step back and completely surrender. The Qin army now had troops on both sides of Jiangdong, north and south. After losing the response from other places, the two of them had been packed with dumplings. The court really had to make up its mind to pacify Jiangdong. However, Li Jing was not in a hurry to touch them now because the court had to concentrate on dealing with Guanlong and Shuhan areas first. Li Jing believed that as long as the west was pacified, the Jiangdong area would not be able to fight.

Zhao Lu, who had been in charge of Huai Si for a long time, was the best among the generals of the court. Therefore, Li Jing finally asked him to stay with Xu Si to keep an eye on Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu, and sent Zhang Zimian, who were good at fighting in a variety of movements and good at attack, to command the attack on Jingxiang.

"I received the order!" Zhao Feng respectfully accepted the order, without any dissatisfaction on his face.

Shenjing, Forbidden City.

Prime Minister Zheng Cong-sei reported: "I think that your Majesty has been ascending the throne for half a year and is still the crown prince. The crown prince is the foundation of a country, and the new crown prince must be established as soon as possible. Only in this way can the court be neat and be conducive to the peace of mind of the world."

Li Jing sat upright on the dragon throne. He did not establish a crown prince, and the ministers endured it for half a year. After all, they could not help it. In the past six months, the court has also been undercurrents around the establishment of a crown prince. He glanced over the ministers in the hall and said slowly: "I hesitated to establish a crown prince. This is because the princes are young. The crown prince is the foundation of a country. I must be cautious and never establish it lightly."

Zheng Ting made a commentary: "The princes are still young, they are virtuous or foolish, and they cannot be examined. It is too early to say it now. However, Your Majesty is just over thirty years old, and it is the time of the Spring and Autumn Period. With your majesty and health, you will definitely rule for a hundred years. Therefore, the prince's wise and foolishness should not be too concerned about it. Moreover, the rules since ancient times have been that the eldest son is the crown prince, so why is it difficult for Your Majesty to make a decision?"

As soon as these words came out, it meant that Wang Guiniang's son was made the crown prince. Although in the past, when Li Jing was the King of Qin, there were two princes, Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang's children were both legitimate sons. But now, after Li Jing ascended the throne, Wang Guiniang was made the queen, and among the princes, only Wang Guiniang's two sons could be called legitimate sons. Although Yu Youniang was the noble concubine of the four concubines, her children, like Wang Wanjun's children, were also just royal sons.

Li Jing shook his head, "The crown prince is the foundation of a country, the crown prince of the country, and the future emperor will of course be a wise man. I have fifty-four princes now, but most of them are half a year old, and the oldest one is only over ten years old. Originally, I mean to wait a few years before a crown prince. Since all my beloved ministers today, please establish them early to help calm the hearts of the world. Then, let's establish them first."

On the sixth day of the sixth month of the Longji period, Li Jing issued an edict to grant Lanling County Prince Li Dezhao the title of King of Qin, Li Delin the title of King of Jin, Li Defang the title of King of Qi, Li Dexiu the title of King of Chu, Li Deqi, Li Deqi the title of King of Zhou, Li Deye the title of King of Lu, Li Dehun the title of King of Zhao, Li Dejue the title of King of Wei, Li Dexiang the title of King of Liang, and Li Derui the title of King of Yan.

Ten kings were enthroned at one time.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Li Jing issued another edict, formally appointing the Qin King Li Dezhao as the crown prince, was crowned, moved to the Eastern Palace, and began to learn to handle government affairs.

In August, Cui Anqian pacified Guanzhong, in September, Zeng Yuanyu pacified Hanzhong, and in October, Zhang Zimian pacified western Henan and southern Shannan.

In November, Zhang Huaishen, the son of Zhang Yichao brothers who had returned from the country in Shazhou, was the current governor of Guiyi Army, submitted a letter to submit to him to welcome Cui Anqian's western expedition army into Hexi. He also went to Beijing like Zhang Yichao and went to Shenjing Jin to meet Li Jing in person.

At the end of the year, after defeating Qin Zongquan, Zhang Zimian defeated Liu Jurong again and conquered Xiangyang. Then, he conquered Jiangling Prefecture Jingzhou like a gust of wind.

In the second year of Longji, Cui Anqian went out of Sanguan and entered Shu, met with Zeng Yuanyu, and launched a large-scale attack on Shuzhong.

In February, the Jianmen was captured, and 150,000 official troops were attacking the central Sichuan. Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan fought stubbornly. Gao Renhou, a famous general in Sichuan, personally took the vanguard and defeated Tian Lingzi Shence Army. The Sichuan army was defeated, and Tian Lingzi's brothers were captured. In March, Gao Renhou attacked Chengdu, and all the officials of Li Yan and Chengdu camp were captured.

In May, Zhang Zimian pacified Hunan. In June, the three marshals Cui Anqian, Zhang Zimian and Zeng Yuanyu met in Jiangling.

In June, three armies gathered in Jiangling to build warships and prepared to go south along the Yangtze River to attack the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In August, Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu invited him to Beijing. In September, the official army entered Eyue, Hunan, Jiangxi, Huainan, Xuanshe, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In October, Yang Xingmi, Qian Liu, Zhang Rui, Yu Gui, Yu Qiu, Kang Chenghui, Liu Xun and others entered the capital to meet the saint!
