Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was summer again.

A major event has happened in the past few months: Dawu officially declared war on various warlords. Suddenly many small warlords chose to surrender to the court. After all, facing Dawu's cavalry of 500,000 troops, those small warlords had no choice.

resistance.

The small warlords have already enjoyed the life brought by a separate regime, and they can also get some resettlement benefits after joining Dawu, so it is better to surrender as soon as possible.

However, the small warlord's defection left the three major warlords to face Dawu's cavalry in person. However, the three major warlords all understood the meaning of lip service and immediately launched an attack on Dawu at the same time.

Now Dawu will face the pressure of simultaneous attacks from three warlords. Even if Dawu has an army of 500,000, it will be impossible to withstand the simultaneous attacks of the three warlords, unless Dawu is willing to give up part of his territory and concentrate on dealing with one or two warlords.

But it will be difficult to recapture it after giving up, and it may breed another powerful enemy.

If things develop like this, it is very likely that Dawu will give up attacking the warlords and return to the defensive state and return to the previous state.

But the policies of a country cannot be made casually, especially when it comes to launching a war.

Naturally, Dawu had long considered the possibility of such a situation, so in order to deal with this situation Dawu had already made a comprehensive plan. Only when Dawu was sure of success would he launch a war.

The Dragon Tiger Army led by Sima Kunpeng is the main force of Dawu. However, since the beginning of the war, Sima Kunpeng's Dragon Tiger Army has not appeared on the frontal battlefield. There is only sporadic information about the movements of the Dragon Tiger Army.

The three warlords launched a full-scale offensive as agreed upon before. After the war began, Dawu was unable to resist the attacks of the three warlords and retreated steadily on the front line. The three warlords occupied more land.

If this continues, I'm afraid the three warlords will be able to join forces and completely eradicate Dawu.

However, the Dragon and Tiger Army, which had never shown up, suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the southeast after the three warlords committed all their main forces to the war.

As soon as the Longhu Army, the most well-equipped army, entered the battlefield, the war situation immediately changed drastically.

The southeastern warlord Jin Xinxin immediately asked his allies for help. Of course, he did not ask the allies to send troops to assist, but just asked the other two warlords to start a more intense attack.

As long as the attacks of the other two warlords become more intense, Dawu will have to send troops back to defend. Otherwise, even if Dawu can destroy him, the northeast and southwest will definitely be captured by Zhang Yingshan and Long Tiannan.

Doing so is not worth the gain. No insightful commander would choose to do this. It is completely a waste of watermelons and sesame seeds.

But as mentioned before, Dawu already had a complete plan when launching this attack.

After Jin Xinxin's message for help was sent out, the Northeastern warlord Zhang Yingshan immediately put the entire army on the front line, and the powerful army was retreating steadily.

As long as the Southwest Warlord Long Tiannan continues to act according to his plan, the three warlords may be able to achieve a great victory together.

But at this time, the southwestern warlord Long Tiannan raised the banner of the Dawu Zhen bandit army, and Long Tiannan also claimed to be the king of Dawu Zhennan, and turned his army straight to the northeast to fight Zhang Yingshan's army.

At this point, Dawu's army in the southwest cooperated with Long Tiannan's army, and together with the original defenders in the northeast, they began to fight Zhang Yingshan.

Not to mention Dawu's army, Long Tiannan's army is enough to fight Zhang Yingshan at 55 points, so Zhang Yingshan has no hope of winning this battle.

Finally, after resisting for three months, Zhang Yingshan announced his surrender, while Jin Xinxin had long ago given up everything in Dawu and fled overseas, carrying his family wealth for many years.

Since then, all the Dawu warlords have been wiped out, and all territory in China has returned to Dawu's possession.

On the surface, it seems that people can live a stable and stable life after the unification of Dawu. However, Dawu spent countless money to fight this war, and the war also caused a lot of losses to people's livelihood. It takes a long time to recover from all this. That's a very long time.

As for the Dawu Imperial Court, they have no control over these matters now. The life and death of ordinary people has little to do with the people in the temple. They just want to protect the territory. As for the lives of ordinary people, they are completely borne by individuals.

Dawu's army had to collect military expenses and needed military rations, which had to be obtained from the people. The Dawu court was unable to pay for these things, so it only issued an order to let all parties raise funds on the spot.

Although Emperor Dawu also understood these things, he could not control them. After all, in order to get rid of the warlords, Emperor Dawu had to make compromises in some aspects.

What Emperor Dawu wants is to unify the rivers and mountains of Jiuzhou. As for the other things, he can only let them develop now and plan for them slowly in the future.

The people's desperation is a true portrayal of the areas surrounding the war, and the military attaché also issued an order: All people are not allowed to leave their place of residence at will, otherwise they will be treated as refugees.

Because of the existence of this government decree, the people did not dare to leave their place of residence even if they could not survive, because once they became refugees, they would no longer have the status of Dawu citizens. In that case, even if they were caught, sold or killed, there would be no official government Ask.

Ping'an City is a county town located in Donglong Province. In the past, although Ping'an City was not prosperous, the people in the city could still live in peace. However, after the war, Ping'an City was no longer peaceful at all.

Today, there are very few pedestrians in Ping'an City, especially since the garbage on the street is almost piled up, but no one is cleaning it. More than half of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, and there are no vendors hawking.

There was finally an open restaurant on the street, but there were only two or three customers inside, and the dishes on the table were only vegetarian dishes without any trace of meat.

At this time, a tall Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe walked into the restaurant.

The shop assistant who was taking a nap nearby saw someone coming in and quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"Sir, what do you want?"

The shop clerk asked with some palpitations as he looked at the unusually tall Taoist priest in front of him.

This tall Taoist was naturally Zeng Kui. In the past few months, he had wandered from the southwest to the northeast, and the harvest was pretty good, and he also left a good reputation for eliminating demons and protecting the Tao along the way.

Not only did he get the treasure chest, but he also gained reputation. It was a win-win situation.

Just last night, he executed two mature wild dogs in the mass graves outside Ping'an City. These wild dogs have been feeding on human flesh all year round, and have slowly become riddled with evil spirits. They have become monsters without dying.

He hadn't had a good meal for more than a month, so he came to Ping'an City to have a good meal and rest.

Zeng Kui took out a handful of oceans from his satchel and threw it on the table.

"If you have anything good to eat and drink, bring it to the Taoist priest. There's no shortage of money." Zeng Kuihao said to the waiter in the store. Things that money can solve are no problem for him.

The waiter's eyes immediately lit up when he saw it.
