Looking at the other party deeply, Lei Juetian said slowly with a complicated expression: "I just hope that the Khan remembers the promise he made to his subordinates. After seizing the Wuhu area, he must treat the people of the Tang people well. Never take ethnic differences as a dilemma, otherwise Lei Juetian will really become a historical sinner who will not be able to atone for his sins."

Bi Xili stopped and said sternly: "Juetian can rest assured. Not to mention that I have promised you, I must keep my promise. I also have the blood of the Tang clan. If I want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, I must win the hearts of the people of the Tang clan. There is no doubt about this. I don't think I don't even know this at all, right? Besides, after the advocacy of several generations of Khan over the past century, many customs and habits have gradually become the same as the Tang clan. To put it bluntly, today's Maqi Khan is afraid that there is no big difference between the Tang clan and I never recognize it.

For the Maqi Khans, the Maqi Khans are superior to the Tang people. Moreover, the culture and art accumulated over thousands of years of the Tang people are more worthy of our Maqi Khans learning and reference. However, I also think that excessive national pride has also made most Tang people lie under the shadow of their ancestors too lazy and unwilling to make progress. A nation without enterprising will be eliminated by history. This is an inevitable law of history. This is what you told me. I, like today's Tanghe Empire, may be like this portrayal. If the Tang tribe wants to be reborn, I am afraid I really need to be a wake-up call, so let me be this one."

After a long breath, Lei Juetian lowered his head and walked forward. He knew that the other party's words made sense. As a Tang clan, Kes helped the alien regime to conquer his country. Although this empire was extremely corrupt, it was still an unacceptable fact for the orthodox Tang clan. He had been in charge of the Maqi Khanate for more than ten years, and the Khan had a great trust in him. It can be said that he was below one person and above ten thousand people. The status of ordinary Tang clan members in the Maqi Khanate has also been greatly improved. But this can be used as a reason for his service to the Maqi Khanate? Lei Juetian was a little confused.

"Juetian, you seem to have something to worry about?" Bi Xili keenly sensed the melancholy in the expression of his heart and humerus.

"Nothing, Dahan, I'm just a little emotional. I'm about to enter the Five Lakes, my mood is a little complicated, and many past events are slowly rising. Maybe one day I'll face my former colleagues again, but this position is completely different. Dahan, you may find it difficult to understand this feeling." In front of his lord, Lei Juetian did not want to hide anything. The ups and downs of more than ten years have not erased the ups and downs in my memory. On the contrary, as time goes by, some scenes have become clearer in my mind, just like something that happened yesterday.

Bi Xili could understand the other party's feelings. He believed that the first thing a successful monarch must have is a broad mind and without a tolerant mind. This monarch is not a qualified monarch. He himself has always demanded himself by this standard. Lei Juetian was able to get his value. As a Tang clan, he saw that his efforts and self-sufficiency made Maqikhan become increasingly powerful, but now he pointed his troops towards his motherland. This complex mood is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand.

"Juetian, otherwise you will not participate in this northern expedition. You should be trusted by Ya Ning. I have given them a long time ago the orders for death, strictly prohibiting disturbing the people and those who violate the orders will be killed. Even the army of the Tanghe Empire, as long as we are willing to surrender, we will not kill them all, and accept the surrender of opposition as much as possible. Of course, you also know that this is a war, and it is impossible to have no sacrifice and bloodshed. We can only try to avoid bloodshed." Bi Xili's words are simple and simple.

"Thank you, good intentions, but I think I'd better go to the war with General Ya Ning. After all, I know more about the situation in my hometown. I don't want to add more people to die because of unnecessary resistance. Khan, I also need to prepare, so I'll go down and rest first." Lei Juetian shook his head with a heavy expression and rejected Bi Xili's suggestion. He bowed his forehead and walked forward sadly.

"Standing on the dangerous building, the wind is soft, looking at the spring sorrow, the darkness blooms in the sky. The grass and smoke are still shining, and who will rely on the meaning of the silence?" Half of the depressed butterfly love flowers lingered in the figure of Lei Jue Tian gradually fading away. Under the afterglow of the sunset, the thin body looks even more lonely.

In the early morning of March 23, 697, the 210,000 Maqikhan army, who had already been ready to go, divided into east-west routes, crossing the border line between the two countries, directly attacking Wenning and Baling prefectures with lightning speed.

By noon on March 24, the Maqikhan army of four corpses on the eastern front, led by Yaning, the Dingguo General, quickly advanced more than 100 miles, and conquered several important checkpoints and important towns along the way. It was unstoppable. Half of the Wenning Mansion was under the control of the Maqikhan army. On the evening of March 25, the Maqikhan army on the eastern side finally encountered its first battle since the war began. Two infantry regiments of the Third Division of the Imperial Sixth Army stubbornly sniped the Maqikhan Fifth Corps advancing north near the Mumadu 50 miles from Wenning Mansion. The imperial infantry used favorable terrain and effectively limited the

The role of the Maqikhan cavalry was performed, and the two brigades of infantry guarding the flank of Muma Ferry used ships near the ferry to detour and raid the Maqikhan Fifth Corps that had just been camped. The Maqikhan Fifth Corps Command Post relaxed its defense against its command post due to excessive pride. The Imperial Assault Forces attacked from the river surface seized the fighter jets and wiped out the entire Fifth Corps Command Post and the entire Maqikhan Fifth Corps Command Post. Except for the deputy commander who went out to investigate, all the other command members, including the commander of the Corps, were wiped out and the Fifth Corps defeated.

Fortunately, the Fourth Maqikhan Corps, who were advancing side by side, discovered the abnormality of the Fifth Corps on its flank, quickly adjusted the arrangements, used the forced small boats to cross the Xiangshui River, and then launched an attack from east to west. Due to the huge gap between the enemy and us, the two empire troops guarding the Muma Ferry were forced to retreat after a day and night of heroic resistance. At this point, the important ferry to Wenning Mansion had been controlled by the Maqikhans, and the door to Wenning Mansion had been opened.

In the early morning of March 30, the army of Maqihan's northern expedition, in addition to the Fifth Corps, reassembled the reorganized three other corpses near the Mumadu, which had successfully crossed the Xiangshui River and approached Wenning Mansion City. On the night of March 29, the Third Division of the Sixth Corps of the Empire, which received the order, began to withdraw from Wenning Mansion City and make a strategic shift northward. A large number of gentry, landlords and wealthy merchants of Wenning Mansion with their children were evacuated with the Third Division. The Wenning Guard Division received the order to defend Wenning Mansion City. When the Third Division evacuated Wenning Mansion City,

The rich Wenning Mansion City immediately fell into chaos. The landless farmers from the countryside and refugees in the mansion quickly got together and burned, killed and looted everywhere. The guards ordered to defend Wenning Mansion City were not only unable to control the situation in the city, but also had considerable guards and soldiers and mobs who flew together to rob the rich families in the city through this vacuum time. The entire Wenning Mansion City was in chaos. This chaos continued until March 31 when Maqikhan's army entered the city.

At the same time, Ya Ning's deputy, Bi Xiao, launched a fierce attack from the western front, and the attack went very smoothly. On March 15, Bi Xiao personally led the 11th Corps to cross the unguarded Lianshui and arrived at the shore of Dongting Lake, a famous town of fish and rice. The fertile rivers and beautiful lake water made the rapid-moving Maqihan soldiers linger. On March 26, Bi Xiao led a large army to capture Botou Town, the dock base of the Dongting Lake Water Fleet. The entire dock was empty. The ships were ordered to retreat north a few days before the arrival of Maqihans, and retreated north along the southern section of the river and lake waterway (Hanshui-Dongting Lake) to the Hanshui River.

On March 28, after Bi Xiao received the information about the retreat of the 4th Division of the 6th Imperial Army, which was stationed in Baling Prefecture, he divided into two groups and led the 11th Twelfth Corps to advance along the west bank of Dongting Lake. The 10th Corps went north along the east bank of Dongting Lake and passed by the town. It was smooth sailing. However, many landless tenants took advantage of the large number of landlords to escape. The local grassroots government officials were unable to interfere and joined the trend of robbing land and occupying land, and it was becoming increasingly fierce.

This Wuhu area was originally the birthplace of the great landlords of the empire. When he followed the founding emperor of the empire to conquer the world, many meritorious and old ministers had appeared here. Later, after the establishment of the empire, as the royal family concentrated their power, they also gave the meritorious and powerful ministers a lot of compensation. Many of these people returned to their hometowns to buy land and became wealthy families. Moreover, with the changes of the times, these families who enjoyed many privileges in political rights tried every means to continuously annex the land, making the farmers in this area constantly become tenants, and the entire Wuhu area became a highly concentrated area of ​​the empire's land. However, those farmers who became tenants and hired farmers became increasingly poor in their lives. The only way for them to survive was to devote themselves to the disciples of these great landlords, and actually lost their personal rights and became serfs of semi-dependent landlords.

Now that we have this opportunity, we can see that these usually arrogant masters are at a loss at this time, and they can't even take away much things and join the ranks of escape. As for the land and houses, no one cares about them. Even the slaves who used to help the landlord's houses took advantage of the situation and robbed the owner's property. The tenants could not hold back and flocked to the final impact of becoming the landlord's dream goal.
