Chapter 84 of the final book Xiao Xiang retired the hundreds of thousands of family troops under the command of the princes of the Twelve Roads, and all of them were used as laborers to dig canals, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which eliminated the hidden dangers of Sichuan and solved his own worries, and also benefited the people in the south of Sichuan.
On the third day of Xiao Xiang's complete dismissal of the family army, the ministers of the Sichuan State launched a persuasion to Xiao Xiang with great fanfare.
Xiao Xiang now firmly controls the military and political power of the Sichuan State, and she herself has the will to inherit the throne, and the persuasion of the ministers is actually just a formality.
Of course, Xiao Xiang is also inevitably clichéd, the ministers persuaded her three times, she refused three times, and it was not until the fourth persuasion that Xiao Xiang reluctantly accepted it.
At this point, the new monarch of Sichuan was officially born, and it is rare that Xiao Xiang also became the first female monarch in the history of Sichuan.
After Xiao Xiang ascended to the throne, the first thing she did was to eliminate the potential threat to her from the royal family.
She gave Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Peng and other brothers and sisters all the marquises, it seems, she seems to be very benevolent, did not kill her siblings indiscriminately, and also made them all marquis, but in fact, she did not give them half an inch of fiefdom, nor did she let them grasp any substantive rights, and they were strictly forbidden to leave the capital, these princes and princesses The marquis titles have completely become empty titles, and in turn she was placed under house arrest by Xiao Xiang in the capital, completely living under the control of others.
After Xiao Xuan's death, the vigorous battle for the throne of Sichuan came to an end, and Xiao Xiang stood out among many brothers and sisters, which was of course related to her own extraordinary ability, but also had elements of luck and coincidence.
After Xiao Xiang dealt with all kinds of hidden dangers inside and outside the court, he took action to deal with the rebellion of Zhendi.
And after such a long delay, the situation of the Zhendi rebellion is now very different from before.
Since Li Shu received covert funding from the Wind Country, his armaments, money and food were sufficient, and his strength expanded extremely rapidly, and in a very short period of time, his strength surged to more than 200,000.
At this time, Li Shu's self-confidence was also unprecedentedly inflated, and he was no longer satisfied with the competition for one city and one county, and the spearhead began to point directly at the three counties of Jinggu, Fantiao, and Bainan in Zhenxi.
Li Shu had already set the strategic concept of taking Zhenxi as the foundation, and then gradually expanding to the east, and finally completing the strategic plan of recovering the entire Zhendi, but a large number of Sichuan Central Army were stationed in these three counties, including the ninth, eleventh, sixteenth, and seventeenth regiments of Sichuan, with a total strength of more than 400,000 people.
If you want to defeat the central army of Sichuan with more than 200,000 troops, it is difficult for even Sadato to do it.
However, Li Shu had such determination and courage, and he led the rebels under his command to attack Bainan County first.
Among the four legions in Zhenxi, the 17th Army Corps had the smallest troops, just 100,000 people, and the combat strength was the weakest, and the commander was not too famous general, a lieutenant general named Dong Bo, who was not well known.
In addition, what Li Shu despised the most about the 17th Army was that it had no defensive center of gravity in Bainan County, and its troops were all scattered in various counties and towns, one wave in the east and one wave in the west, which was easy to give the rebels a chance to break through one by one.
For these reasons, Li Shu took the lead in attacking Paeknam-gun and engaged the 17th Army Corps of the Sichuan State head-on.
The rebels in the central part of Zhendi actually fled to Zhenxi and took the initiative to attack Bainan County, which was indeed something that the Sichuan army never expected.
As soon as the battle began, the rebel army led by Li Shu was like a bamboo, and drove straight into the hinterland of Bainan County.
Although the defenders of the 17th Army put up a desperate resistance to all parts of Paiknam, they were eventually outnumbered and forced to evacuate their garrisons.
In just half a month, the rebels fought from the easternmost part of Bainan County to the westernmost part of Bainan County, and then went west, and then they had already left Zhendi and entered Fanbang Yayue, which bordered Zhendi.
After opening the border, Li Shu immediately sent an envoy to Yayue, met with the king of Yayue, Xuyiman, and asked him to send reinforcements.
At that time, Zhenguo and the western Fanbang were constantly fighting, Yayue was one of the many enemies of Zhenguo, but in the later campaign, the Yayue army that invaded Zhenguo was defeated by Zhenjun, Zhenjun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and attacked the territory of Yayue in one fell swoop, and burned and looted all the way from the border, directly to the capital of Yayue, and finally got the king of Yayue to surrender the letter, handed over the table, and bowed to Zhenguo.
After the surrender of Yayue, the Zhen army withdrew to their own country, and did not occupy a city and town in Yayue, one is that the place is too small, and the ambitious Zhenguo has not yet seen it in his eyes, and second, don't look at Zhenguo in the eyes of other principalities is a barbarian country, similar to the barbarians of Fanbang, but Zhenguo himself thinks very highly of himself and disdains to occupy such an uncivilized land as Yayue.
For Zhenguo's magnanimity, Yayue is very grateful, and he is friendly with Zhenguo, and Yayue is really afraid of Zhenren, and he is afraid of Zhenren in his heart, and he also respects Zhenren.
Later, Zhenguo was destroyed, and the originally peaceful Yayue began to move again, sending troops to invade the border from time to time, and the Sichuan country had no choice but to station a legion in Bainan County, which borders Yaetsu, to guard the border.
Although Zhenguo was annexed by the Sichuan country, but the Yayue people are not afraid of the Sichuan people, and they have no reverence for it, but as a rebel Li Shu sent an envoy to the Yayue Hou, but was treated as a guest by the Yayue people, and treated it as a state guest, the king of the Yayue also personally received the rebel envoys, I heard that Li Shu, a descendant of the royal family of the original Zhenguo, wanted to recover Zhendi and rescue the Yayue, and Xuiman made a promise on the spot that he was willing to send 30,000 elite people to help Li Shu, as long as Bainan County was under the jurisdiction of Li Shu, Yayue would never be offended in the future. borrowed 30,000 elites from Yayue smoothly, so that Li Shu's strength was improved again.
After that, the rebels swept the Sichuan army throughout the territory of Bainan County, and directly beat the 17th Army Corps of Sichuan Country out of Bainan County and fled to the territory of Fantiao County.
In one fell swoop, the entire territory of Bainan County was conquered, which encouraged the rebels, and the local Zhenren people came to vote one after another, and for a while, the momentum of the rebels was in full swing.
Li Shu, who played smoothly, was more confident, and immediately began to prepare for the attack on Fantiao County.
In the rebels, not all of them are Zhenren, among them are Fengren, according to the agreement between Tang Yin and Li Shu, Fengguo has a prison army in the rebels.
One of the most important supervisors is Tao Yuanfeng, he started by relying on the military order of the Wind Country, don't look at his age, only in his early thirties, but he has participated in too many battles, he has followed Tang Yin's side since the battle against Ning, he can be regarded as a veteran of a hundred battles, so many years have passed, Tao Yuanfeng has also grown from a nobody to a dignified lieutenant general.
When Li Shu attacked Bainan County, Tao Yuanfeng supported him, and now Li Shu wants to attack Fantiao County, Tao Yuanfeng is against it.
Fantiao County is the county with the largest number of defenders among the three counties of Zhenxi, and there were originally two legions, but now the remnants of the 17th Army have fled to Fantiao County, where the strength is equivalent to three legions.
The rebels defeated the 17th Army Corps in Bainan County, but in large and small battles, the casualties of the 17th Army Corps were even less than 1,000 people, and after seeing that their side was defeated, their soldiers immediately chose to retreat, so in so many defeats, the main force of the 17th Army was not injured, and the strength was still as high as 80,000 or 90,000 people.
Now, the ninth, eleventh, and seventeenth armies of the Sichuan Kingdom have gathered in one place in Fantiao County, and it will be even more difficult for the rebels to attack Fantiao County again.
Tao Yuanfeng's opinion was that his side should bypass Fantiao County, first take Jinggu County, where the 16th Army Corps was stationed, and after conquering Jinggu County, it would be convenient for him to send troops from Bainan and Jinggu at the same time, one south and one north, to attack Fantiao County on both sides, so as to disperse the Sichuan Army in Fantiao County to the greatest extent.
Li Shu still attached great importance to Tao Yuanfeng's suggestion and listened carefully, but in the end he still thought that he was too worried, his own side is now victorious, and the momentum is like a grandeur, and the Sichuan army is now defeated and demoralized, even though the Sichuan army in Fantiao County has many troops, but it is not enough to be afraid.
Li Shu did not adopt Tao Yuanfeng's tactics, insisted on his own opinion, and resolutely launched a full-scale attack on Fantiao County.
It was only in this battle that the rebels' initial attack was met with great resistance, and the Sichuan army in Fantiao County resisted desperately and fought a bloody battle with the rebels.
In the first battle of Fantiao County, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and it really reached the point of an inch of blood in the mountains and rivers, the rebels were tight step by step, and the Sichuan army was not giving up an inch of land, and the two sides invested heavily in the competition for every city and even every village and town.
A month after this battle, the rebels had only advanced more than 100 miles in Fantiao County.
At this time, the rebels have shown a weak trend, and the continuous offensive battles have also made the rebels feel a headache, and it just so happened that at this critical moment when it was difficult to ride a tiger, the Sichuan army had the intention of fighting a frontal decisive battle.
The entire Ninth Army, half of the Eleventh Army, and half of the Seventeenth Army of the Sichuan Kingdom, totaling 200,000 troops, all gathered on the Wangxi Plain in Fantiao County.

Li Shu, who heard the news, thought that the fighter plane was coming, and immediately ordered to recall the soldiers and horses attacking from all directions, join forces, and rush to the Wangxi Plain to fight to the death with the main force of the Sichuan army.
The Sichuan army arrived early, and there was a leisurely waiting, while the rebels came from a long journey, and after a series of battles, the whole army was physically and mentally exhausted, and it can be said that the rebels had lost three points before the battle began.
Li Shu didn't care about this, in his opinion, the strength of the two sides was equal, and this one was enough, and in the case of equal strength, he was confident that no army in the world could defeat the Zhen army head-on.
In this battle, both sides put all their main forces into it, and the men and horses on both sides were about 200,000, which was also the largest confrontation since the rebellion of the Zhendi rebels, and even the obscure Wangxi Plain in Fantiao County became famous all over the world because of this battle.
By the time the battle between the two sides began, the Wangxi Plain had become a veritable meat grinder, and the battle of the two sides against Maimang's legions turned the entire plain into a hell on earth.
In the battle, the soldiers of a corps seem so insignificant, thrown into the battlefield, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, and after one or a few hours, it is either a corpse or a seriously wounded soldier with a missing limb or a broken arm
