Chapter 319: The king’s aura is dejected, he enters the city and sets up a tripod

Chang'an City is located at the hub of Qinzhou, and Jincheng County is named after the city.

Since the establishment of Qinzhou in ancient times, there has been a saying that acquiring the city of Chang'an is like acquiring a golden city, which means that the value of Chang'an city is extremely precious.

No matter from the perspective of military strategy or economic and cultural aspects, Chang'an is the first city in Qinzhou, and its occupation can be relied on as the foundation of the king's hegemony.

When Zhou Bai first looked at the shape of Chang'an, he seemed to see the Shenjing of Zhongzhou. The main city tower was as high as the sky, and the outer city wall was hundreds of miles in circumference like a giant dragon winding past.

This is extremely difficult for local officials to achieve in the slightly barren northern border. Even the current Longshou City, the capital of Daxia, only reached its current scale after the joint expansion of the Ministry of Industry and the Daolu Division.

If it weren't for the turbulent times, Chang'an would have the potential to become an imperial capital after a few more generations of development and the encounter of a talented and strategic monarch.

Hidden historical records record that a certain medieval kingdom called "Qi" was in decline and faced siege and carving up by princes. It was defeated all the way and lost its troops and territory. Only two cities were left, but it made a desperate comeback.

There are many reasons, such as feuding between princes, proper military strategy on the battlefield, a solid foundation due to bad luck, etc., but the most important thing is that the city is high and the walls are thick enough to hold on to.

Jing Heng's attempt to make a comeback by relying on an isolated city is not unreasonable. Chang'an's defense regulations are stronger than those two cities in history. If he attacks with a large army, he may only leave mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Therefore, the Xia army surrounded but did not attack, and fought steadily to kill their luck, without revealing any flaws.

Strategies such as provocation and irritation, night raids and counterattacks, alienation tactics, and even alliances with Xia's foreign enemies have not achieved obvious results.

No one was fooled. No matter how ambitious Jing Heng was, it was useless. Little did he know that Zhou Bai had seen through the fate of Chang'an at that time and had such a wide range of knowledge that he would learn from history.

The inheritance of humanity in Tianyuan Continent has not been separated from generation to generation, so there is no real secret. The mystery of Tao Ting is, and the past era of human emperors is also the same. How can we not know about a typical case of the medieval princes fighting for hegemony.

After Zhou Bai arrived in Chang'an and saw that the Yan's luck had dissipated, he directly exposed the plan of the puppet King of Qin, which soon caused an uproar in the city, and the fragile people's hearts that were struggling to maintain completely collapsed.

It wasn't that the powerful forces who were massacred and suppressed were disengaged, but that Jing Heng's group of loyal subordinates had lost all hope. In fact, during this period of time, they already felt that they were powerless to deal with the Xia army's siege.

Forcibly preparing for a counterattack to maintain the operation of the Qin Palace system was also Qianlong's last ditch effort.

On February 15nd, frontline reinforcements arrived, and [-] troops were gathered to launch a general attack. The artillery and stone rained down, and the endless terrifying force destroyed all resistance.

On this day, Chang'an's royal power evaporated, and Qinzhou's momentum, which had been building up for hundreds of years, was completely suppressed.

Ang~
The King of Qin's Dragon Elephant, which had weakened into a dragon snake, was only a looming shadow. Accompanied by the snake's unwilling roar, it was then swallowed by the red and yellow fish dragon that swaggered into the city.

Click!On the side that mortals cannot see, the Qin Kingdom's Heavenly Pillar, which was never erected in the first place, is a rotten three-foot foundation that turned into sand and dispersed like clouds of smoke as the dragons and tigers of Daxia swept across it.

Zhou Bai's spiritual eyes saw this scene and couldn't help but nodded slightly. He knew that after this period of time passed, Qinzhou had completely lost the luck and luck of the state's power.

A state's manpower, material, and luck gathered in Chang'an and turned into firewood. With the "cooperation" of the puppet king and Zhou Bai, Qinzhou was almost bleeding.

After being washed away by such an intensity of war, the imperial court's subsequent rule of Qinzhou will reduce a lot of resistance, and the speed of integrating into Daxia may be much faster than that of Liangzhou.

"Enter the city and prepare to set up the tripod!"

Obviously the city gate was still closed, and the Qin soldiers at the top of the city also tried to fight back, but Zhou Bai had already ordered the Chinese army to enter Chang'an.

Entering the city while the fighting is in full swing?No one doubts that with Zhou Bai's current prestige, even if he orders the Chinese Army Staff to go into battle, there will be no other voice.

And just as the king ordered, the 49 ceremonial guards carried the newly cast Qinzhou tripod without avoiding the arrows, and marched calmly on the official road into the city.

With solemn and calm faces, they ignored life and death and only followed Zhou Bai's will, leaving heavy footprints step by step.

There was nothing strange about the accompanying soldiers and officials, because these 49 ceremonial guards were selected from the most loyal guards and soldiers. They stayed in the palace to guard the dragon veins of the Xia Kingdom all year round, otherwise they would not be able to lift the Qinzhou tripod.

Along the way, there were constant shouts of death, but all kinds of dangers seemed to have eyes to avoid Zhou Bai and his party, especially the team escorting Zhou Ding did not suffer any harm.

When they arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, the city gate opened loudly with the sound of the iron ropes being stretched. The generals and ministers of the Xia Kingdom once again reached a new peak in their admiration for Zhou Bai.
Why is this scene happening? It’s nothing more than the fact that heaven and earth all work together in time.

"We surrender, we are willing to submit... The second guard of the Northern Army of Qinzhou respectfully welcomes the king's army. The Lin family of the county and the whole clan have changed their positions... General Yin has led his people to attack the palace."

Dark beacon smoke rose from the central palace in the city, and the sounds of surrender echoed through the sky.

The winds and clouds rise and the weather changes.

Waves of Qinzhou's Universiade are coming from all directions. The various places in Qinzhou that were originally scattered and chaotic seemed to have a core at this moment.

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, the upper part corresponds to the heavenly time, and the lower part corresponds to the dragon's veins.

Today was the right day to accommodate Qin Long, so Zhou Bai did not delay at all. Even if there was still some turmoil and chaos in the city, he had to complete the change of the old and new systems.

Fortunately, in the years since Zhou Bai led Xia State to rise, his style of conduct has long been known, and anyone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to gain power at this time will understand.

There have been many rounds of reshuffling in the city, and it is the opportunity to change the fate. Little people and small forces want to cling to the new master.

Regardless of casualties, they welcomed more Xia troops into the city, raised Xia flags to persuade the Qin troops to surrender, and then went all out to capture important areas such as government offices, treasuries, and military camps, and then handed them over neatly.At noon, the entire outer city was covered with notices to calm the people, and the situation was basically stable.

A raging fire broke out in the back house of Prince Qin's mansion, but the fire did not spread, so Zhou Bai did not order the fire to be put out, giving the "Prince of Qin" his final dignity.

Like many failed Qianlong masters in history, Jing Heng was speechless and met Zhou Bai again. He did not want to become a prisoner and chose to set fire to himself with his wife.

With luck involved, there is no way to escape by feigning death.

Wisps of dragon energy precipitated from the fire, moving closer to Zhou Bai like an invisible suction force. The life above his head was swaying, and the purple intention became deeper and deeper, completely different from the extremely light purple when he first became king.

A street apart is the Qinzhou Confucian Temple and the Martial Arts Temple. An engineering team directly under the Ministry of Industry with many Taoist officials was dispatched, and a high platform of tens of feet rose from the ground between the two temples.

With the on-site supervision and assistance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, an altar carved with majestic fish and dragon patterns to worship the state tripod was built.

The cold weather is strong in early spring, and the city of Chang'an is also experiencing turmoil and instability.

However, countless Qin people still walked out of their homes cautiously, and the bold ones even gathered in the streets around the altar. At first glance, they were crowded.

In recent years, the name of the King of Xia has gradually spread across the northern border, but at this time, the reason why these "remnants of the old country" are allowed to risk their lives to welcome him is mainly because of the holding of a large ceremony.

The change of ruler has become a foregone conclusion. Now King Xia is officiating, and there is also the Qinzhou Ding representing Qinzhou as the sacrificial tripod, which is a standard for national sacrifices.

The great country is dedicated to worship and military affairs.

Xia State conquered Qinzhou with military force, and the next step was sacrifice.

Even ordinary Qin people know that this first national sacrifice of Qinzhou, which was merged into the Xia Kingdom, will be related to the future rise and fall of Qinzhou and its own destiny.

woohoo~
Amidst the desolate horn sounds, the slightly simplified sacrificial process is filled with more solemn majesty.

Soon, the people of Qin heard the sacrificial words that made their hearts tighten. Every step of Zhou Bai's next sacrificial step was extremely important.

"Since 300 years ago, the Ding of Qinzhou has been decayed and dilapidated, unable to gather the fortune of the state and protect the people... Now we should re-establish the Ding of Qinzhou to revitalize our country and protect our people!"

"...Sacrifice to heaven and earth, Qinzhou stands in triplicate!" Zhou Bai lit a pillar of incense facing the Qinzhou tripod, and then bowed three times to heaven and earth.

Buzzing, the cauldron trembled, and Qinzhou's luck gathered from all directions was like a substance, which could almost appear in the holy world.

Although he did not have many visions when he established the Dingzhou tripod due to the short time he ruled Qinzhou, heaven and earth gave a straightforward response, and the will of humanity was also recognized by him because he ruled Qinzhou.

Smoke and clouds rise above the state tripod, and the legal nets of various counties and counties gather together. All living beings with some cultivation in Qinzhou are looking here, including even the most aloof "big shot" in the local area.

The sacrificial officer had only entered Taoism and cultivated himself, but at this moment, he felt as if he was blessed in his soul. He said in a serious voice: "On February [-], the dragon raises its head. Please honor the dragon and pray for rain, and bless Qinzhou for a good harvest!"

Zhou Bai looked deeply at the Wei River, Yi River and other important rivers in Qinzhou. He lowered his eyebrows and lit incense to pray for rain with his own hands.

"Dragon gods of Qinzhou, please bless this state with good weather in the future. I will not hesitate to pay my respects."

Whispering silently, when he bowed down, the wind suddenly rose, the clear sky suddenly darkened, and layers of dark clouds pressed over Chang'an City.

Boom!

Thunder roared, big raindrops fell, and there were several black shadows of dragons faintly appearing on the top of the clouds.

"The king of Xia favors heaven and earth, and he will not be rewarded for no merit..."

"If there is an edict, you can order your subordinates to build an altar to summon the generals and burn the Ding Ren talisman of the Water Ministry. We will definitely cooperate. The Shenting side also asks you to take care of it..."

Fearful and respectful messages came one after another, and Zhou Bai smiled slightly. It was not that these Dragon Palace water gods were too humble, but because of his current strength, the local Dragon Palace did not dare to offend him in any way.

Under the supervision of Taoism and Buddhism, the expansion of the divine court, especially the actions of cutting down mountains and destroying temples in line with the general trend of luck, has suppressed all the gods and ghosts.

"Oh, it's raining. It's raining on February [-]! Your Majesty's prayer for rain has been successful. Qinzhou will have a good harvest in the coming year!"

"The king is indeed the true king, and the Dragon God does not dare to disobey him. We, the people of Qin, have something to rely on."

"The day of peace will finally come..."

The voice of the people turned into endless people's will, and they attached themselves to the Daxia system. The city of Chang'an, which was seeing inevitable decline, seemed to be flourishing with a new look after being washed by this spring rain.

"Instruct the Third Division of Qinzhou to make every effort to ensure the Enke Rural Examination, and at the same time notify the cabinet to formulate a three-year development plan for Daxia before I return to the court."

With a new state and a governor's mansion, the attention of the outside princes was unprecedentedly concentrated, and there was so much potential in Daxia's territory that could be tapped. Zhou Bai finally decided to practice his internal strength for three years.

There is a sage inside and a king outside. The king is there, but the construction of the sage is slightly delayed.
