    Chapter 443 Determining the world

    The war was very fierce and lasted for an hour.  At this time, Yang Zilu moved. To be precise, the Han army moved.

    Not like the mountain, the invasion is like a fire.  These two words are the best description of the Han army. The dark armor is like a black cloud pressing over the top.  The soldiers of the Han army were in groups of three and five, and seemed very scattered. However, looking from the sky, you can see that the formations of the Han army were well-organized.  Like a strict killing machine, neither happy nor sad, the only thing he does is wave the weapon in his hand.

    "Is this the power of the Han army?" The credential standing on the Chinese military vehicle couldn't help but look very ugly.

    But the cruel reality told the credential that this was not enough.  I saw more than ten thunderbolt cannons standing up behind the Han army at some point.

    "Let go!" The gunners of the Thunderbolt Cannon all had their eyes gleaming at this moment. As they roared, the tip pole was like a giant's giant arm, swinging out fiercely and throwing the boulder in his hand at the enemy.

    "Boom!" A thunderous sound sounded on the ground, and the boulder rolled over the Qilu Allied Army's battle formation indestructibly.  Flesh and blood were deeply mixed into the soil, and the blue boulders were dyed dark red. The red was so dazzling, and the red was so shocking.

    "Marshal! Something bad has happened! Those Donghu cavalry were defeated by the Han barbarians! Now the Han barbarians' cavalry are rushing from the right army!" A soldier covered in blood did not care about keeping secrets and had not yet come to the country.  Before, I had already shouted loudly.

    "What! It's only been an hour!" Guo Shu was immediately shocked.

    But the surprise in Guoshu's heart has not yet faded. Yang Tugou has already led the Han army's cavalry to rush towards them. Their fiery red shirts and fiery red armor swept into the Qilu coalition formation like a raging fire.

    The screams of killing, the dull sound of metal entering flesh, and the screams of soldiers were intertwined into a chilling song.

    And Han Jun is undoubtedly the one who leads this song.

    The sharp spears, like piercing tofu, easily pierced the bodies of Qi Yan coalition soldiers.  The war horse's mane was flying, and the horse's hooves trampled on the Qi Yan coalition soldiers who fell to the ground. The Qi Yan coalition soldiers immediately vomited blood.

    There was a commotion in the right army of the Qi-Yan Allied Forces. I don¡¯t know which one started it. Some soldiers began to collapse, which caused a chain reaction.  In just half an hour, the left army was completely defeated.  The flanks of the Chinese army were exposed to the iron hoofs of the powerful Han army's cavalry.

    When Guo Shu knew that it was over, he did not choose to retreat because he already knew that there was no way to escape, but he did not have the courage to fight the Han army. In the end, Guo Shu chose to surrender in shame.  The sneak attack of Guoshu frightened the Qi Yan coalition even more than the defeat of the right army.

    The Yan army quickly withdrew from the battlefield. Yang Zilu had no intention of pursuing the enemy, so he asked the infantry to surround the Qi army. Then he ordered Yang Tugou to lead all the cavalry of the Han army, a total of 15,000 cavalry, to pursue them.

    In this pursuit, the Han cavalry showed their unprecedented tenacity. The Han cavalry chased for nearly a thousand miles, from Yandi, where the war broke out, all the way to Jicheng.  Duke Yan Xiaogong, the king of Yan State, was captured by the cavalry under Yang Tugou within ten miles of Jicheng.

    The people of Yan naturally refused, and they immediately went out of the city to support him, hoping to rescue Duke Xiao of Yan.  Not wanting to be caught by Yang Tugou, he took the opportunity to defeat the soldiers of the State of Yan, and took advantage of the situation to cover up and enter the capital of the State of Yan.

    Prince Zai of Yan State led his entourage to escape from the palace and fled to Guzhu City, the original capital of Guzhu State.  Prince Zai established himself as the king of Yan State and raised a banner to attract the exiled people and nobles of Yan State.

    At this time, the Han army's food road was already too long, not to mention that it had just annexed Qi.  Yang Zilu had no choice but to let Yang Tugou lead 10,000 cavalry to stay in Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.  At the same time, Yang Zilu sent the official Zheji as an envoy to the State of Yan to express his willingness to negotiate peace with the State of Yan.

    Although the original Prince Zai of the Yan Kingdom ascended the throne, the population in Guzhu was sparse.  Moreover, they are all remnants of the former Guzhu Kingdom, and they do not have a high sense of identity with the Yan Kingdom.  In addition, Taizi Zai escaped in a hurry. Now he doesn't have much food, let alone much money. It would be good if the Han army doesn't come to attack him. How can he dare to attack the Han army?

    After hearing what Zheji conveyed, Prince Zai hurriedly agreed and expressed his willingness to become a vassal state of Han. He also paid Yang Zilu ten beauties, three pieces of jade, twenty horses, one hundred East Sea pearls, and three coins as tribute.  One hundred thousand.

    " Of course, Prince Zai didn't really want to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Prince Zai was only twenty-six years old. He was upright and in his prime, so he certainly wanted to make contributions.  He did this just to delay time and prepare for the formation of a new army.

    How could Yang Zilu not know about Prince Zai¡¯s little thoughts?

    Yang Zilu waved her hand and gave Yang Tugou an order to send a hundred cavalry to escort Yan Xiaogong to Guzhu.  Prince Zai knows?, he was really angry and angry, but on the surface he had to greet Duke Yan Xiao with a smile on his face.

    "It's just that the father is still there, how can you ask this son, Prince Zai, to be the king?"  After a month of subtle contact between the father and son, civil strife finally broke out.  The old Duke Xiao of Yan was defeated by his son, Prince Zai, and was put under house arrest by Prince Zai.

    It¡¯s just that Prince Zai¡¯s move was very unpopular, and many old nobles opposed Prince Zai because of this.  For this reason, Prince Zai had to choose to place Duke Yan Xiaogong under house arrest.  However, due to constant interruptions, they suffered from chaos. With Yan Xiaogong around, many ambitious people wanted to follow the dragon, and they became less convinced of Prince Zai's orders.  The originally weak Yan State became even weaker after this turmoil.  However, three years later, Yang Tugou, who had already consolidated the territory of Yan, sent troops to attack Huanglong and captured Guzhu.

    Prince Zai also died in the rebellion. Duke Xiao of Yan and many nobles were sent to settle on a small island in the south, and could only spend the rest of their lives sighing.

    Ji Yong and other military ministers took the opportunity to strongly demand Yang Zilu to send troops to Qin, but Yang Zilu did not agree.  In this year, Confucius passed away. Yang Zilu took the opportunity to order the whole country to mourn, and named Confucius a saint, allowing the world to build temples to worship him.

    Because the clear news of Han came out, the remaining countries in the world, Qin, Ba, Zhongshan, Yan, Lu, Tan, Teng and other countries, all breathed a sigh of relief.

    It¡¯s just that the time of peace is always short-lived. A year later, Yang Zilu personally led his troops west to Hangu Pass and captured the capital of Qin.  The remaining members of the Zhao family of Qin State fled into Monan and lived to survive.

    (Note: Although Qin Shihuang is called Ying Zheng in many movies and novels, in fact, the Qin family has the surname Zhao. At that time, men used the family name, and only women used the surname. The Zhao family name above is not a mistake.)

    Seeing that Han¡¯s power to dominate the world could no longer be changed, the State of Lu chose to annex.  Yang Zilu was very generous to the annexed country and gave the king of Lu a fief of 10,000 households and the title of Duke Anle.  Of course, the fiefdoms of the Han Dynasty were always converted into money, and the management of the fiefdoms was not managed by the lords.

    And other officials of the Lu State basically maintained their original positions.  As for Sanhuan, Yang Zilu did not punish them. He just broke up their families. The main family stayed in Guangling City, and the separated families moved to Yan and Qin, which were vast and sparsely populated.

    When other small countries saw this situation, except for Zhongshan, Ba, and Shu, they all attached themselves to Han.

    In the seventeenth year of the Han Dynasty, Yang Zilu, who was nearly forty years old, announced that he would ascend Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk, and then move the capital to Chang'an to guard the country as the emperor.

    Yang Zilu's move was actually preparations for attacking Shu and Ba. Unfortunately, the long period of comfort made the two countries forget about the coming of war.

    In the eighteenth year of the Han Dynasty, Yang Zilu, who had prepared everything, went to Pingtian and stayed in Chang'an.  Yang Zilu led 50,000 tiger soldiers south from Hanzhong and captured Chengdu within a month, destroying Shu.

    Twenty days after the destruction of Shu, Yang Zilu surrounded the capital of Ba. After half a year of siege, Ba surrendered.  When the Han army went to conquer Bashu, Hueyong sent troops to Monan with lightning speed, defeated the Xiongnu, Yiqu and other nomadic tribes entrenched in Monan, occupied Monan, and built straight roads and villages in Monan.  .

    Yang Tugou in Zhuojun also sent troops to the Zhongshan Kingdom. It only took half a year to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom.

    The following year, Yang Tugou sent troops to Jizi Korea and destroyed Jizi Korea. His troops reached the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula.

    The territory of the Han Dynasty was initially determined, reaching North Korea in the east, Monan in the north, Jiuquan in the west, and Baiyue in the south.
