Chapter 289: Destroy Nanzhao and Goguryeo
........
Half a month later, Yue Fei took the lead in launching an attack on Nanzhao with an army of 50,000.
The Nanzhao Kingdom was originally a small country with few people. It had lost 40,000 troops in the last battle supporting Tubo. Now the total number of troops it could muster was only 30,000, and it was completely unable to resist Yue Fei's army.
In just half a month, Yue Fei occupied half of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The current emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom is the former second prince Nangong Jing. When he saw Yue Fei's army heading towards the capital, he immediately sent envoys to the capital of Daqian to ask for help.
Nanzhao is now a vassal state of Daqian and should be protected by Daqian. He hopes that Daqian will intervene.
At the same time, he also sent envoys to meet Yue Fei, hoping to cease fire and expressed his willingness to pay a large amount of treasure.
However, Yue Fei ignored it and continued to lead his troops forward.
On the other hand, Ning Yuanwu was furious when he learned that Ning Quan had sent troops to attack Nanzhao.
Ning Quan's actions clearly showed that he was not giving him any face.
But he was also unable to rescue Nanzhao because he was preparing to take action against Huainan County.
Compared to taking back Huainan, Nanzhao was just a vassal state, so Ning Yuanwu naturally chose the latter.
Upon learning that Daqian was unwilling to help Nanzhao, Nangong Jing weighed the pros and cons for a long time and finally chose to surrender.
Surrendering can save your life, but if you continue to resist, your life will be in danger.
Yue Fei gladly accepted Nangong Jing's surrender, and in accordance with Ning Quan's order, allowed the Nanzhao royal family to leave Nanzhao with one-fifth of their wealth and family members.
As for where they go, that is not Ning Quan’s business.
At this point, in just one month, Nanzhao was destroyed.
At the same time, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing also led an army of 150,000 to attack Goguryeo.
The two joined forces and defeated the main force of the Goguryeo army with lightning speed.
The King of Goguryeo was frightened and had to retreat to the capital.
Huo Qubing and Bai Qi took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy to the capital of Goguryeo and surrounded it.
At this time, troops from all over Goguryeo also arrived to support the king, and the two sides were currently confronting each other in the capital.
But the situation was obviously not favorable for Goguryeo, because the total number of troops sent to support the king was less than 50,000, and with the 20,000 defenders in the capital, the total number was only 70,000.
It was less than half of the military strength of Huo Qubing and Bai Qi.
The most powerful troops in the Goguryeo army had already been completely lost.
Ning Quan first attacked Nanzhao and then attacked Goguryeo. These series of actions shocked the entire Daqian government and the public.
Especially those in the court, who could have expected that Ning Quan's army would have such combat effectiveness and such a fast combat speed.
It is also said that Ning Quan is still attacking Japan and has occupied most of Japan's territory.
"Ning Quan is truly a hero!"
"So, it seems that the territory controlled by His Highness the Ninth Prince has far exceeded that of Daqian?"
"My Daqian is indeed lagging behind..."
For a while, people in the court and the country were talking about it, and everyone was worried about the future of Daqian.
The current situation is very clear, Ning Quan's strength has far surpassed Daqian
However, Ning Yuanwu did not appear too excited, but rather very calm.
The reason is understandable. The prince led his army to attack Huainan and achieved a major victory. In one fell swoop, he defeated the main force of the Huainan army. Taking over Huainan was just around the corner.
What he had to do next was to capture Jiannan, unify the world, and then have a decisive battle with Ning Quan.
But he had good intentions, but the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.
Knowing that he was the next target, Jiannan Jiedushi Zhang Ju unexpectedly sent an envoy to ask to see Ning Quan.
He expressed his willingness to submit to Ning Quan and offer Jiannan County, and the conditions were the same as those of Nanzhao, allowing him to take his family and treasures to Da Qi.
Zhang Ju surrendered voluntarily, and Ning Quan was of course willing to do so.
Although he knew in his heart that Zhang Ju surrendered to him with the sole purpose of watching the show and letting himself and his son kill each other.
But he still agreed to Zhang Ju's request.
Don't take advantage of the bastard.
In less than five days, Yue Fei led a large army into and took over Jiannan, and Zhang Ju moved away with his family.
The news reached the court.
There was an uproar in the court.
No one expected that Zhang Ju would suddenly surrender to Ning Quan?
Ning Yuanwu lost his composure and became so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.
The Imperial Hospital tried to save him for a long time before Ning Yuanwu finally came to his senses. That night he summoned important officials to discuss how to attack Ning Quan.
However, all the important officials disagreed with the attack on Ning Quan and suggested waiting until the prince completely recovered Huainan County before launching the attack.
After hearing this, Ning Yuanwu was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do.
In the end, he could only endure temporarily and wait for the prince to complete the conquest of Huainan, and then gather troops to attack Ningquan.
Ning Quan was actually prepared for battle.
At the same time as accepting Zhang Ju's surrender, he ordered Li Jing to lead his troops to move into Hexi in order to prevent Ning Yuanwu from becoming angry and launching an attack.
However, Ning Yuanwu doesn't seem to have such courage.
........
As time went by, ten days later, Huo Qubing and Bai Qi joined forces to capture the capital of Goguryeo, and all the Goguryeo royal family were killed.
At this point, Goguryeo was destroyed.
After defeating Goguryeo, Huo Qubing and Bai Qi immediately changed direction and marched towards the Rakshasa Kingdom.
At the same time, Bai Qi divided his troops into two groups and marched towards the Far East, preparing to take control of the entire Far East in accordance with Ning Quan's order.
On the other hand, the war in Japan was also going very smoothly.
Shikoku Island has been captured, and Qi Jiguang is now leading his troops towards the last target on Honshu Island, the capital of Japan.
In just less than two months, most of the plan Ning had formulated the year before had been completed, and now the only thing left was the war with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Of course, the plan to attack the Arabs had to be temporarily shelved because of Zhang Ju's sudden surrender.
After all, who knows when Ning Yuanwu will suddenly send troops, and Ning Quan doesn't want to face two powerful enemies, the Arabs and the Daqian, at the same time.
In this case, Ning Quan can consider going to America.
The vast land of America was Ning Quan's dream, and he couldn't wait.
So Ning Quan immediately informed Zhuge Liang and told him that he was about to go to America and that he would be responsible for everything at home after he left.
Your Highness wants to expand the territory, so Zhuge Liang naturally has no reason to disagree.
He just repeatedly reminded Ning Quan to be careful and not to take risks easily.
Ning Quan of course agreed readily.
Then, Ning Quan returned to the backyard and found Li Wanyue and others.
The journey to America is long, and it will probably take at least a year. He wants to take Li Wanyue and others with him.
After some discussion, Ning Quan finally decided to take Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo with him, while Jin Xiaozhu stayed in Xizhou.
Ning Xiner is still young, so Kim Hyo-joo needs to stay and take care of her.
As for the military generals, Ning Quan decided to take Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei with him.
Ning Quan doesn't need to bring too many military generals, because he will be able to draw another civil official or military general in another month.
Moreover, there are no powerful enemies in America, most of them are local natives, so it is enough to bring Zhang Liao and the other two.
What's more, Ning Quan also has Barrett, assault rifles, grenades, etc., so there will be no problem.
