Sweep the World

Chapter 275: : Endless bitterness

   The problem is still the same. The population of the Han Dynasty is too small, and it is necessary to use any means to increase the population.

Raiding Xuzhou is not for the land, in addition to eliminating the threat from the southern part of Qingzhou, it is for the population!

"Donghai County will increase our population by about 200,000?" Liu Yan's governance of Shijie Zhao Kingdom really feels terrible. Even if he captured the mansion and obtained classics and essays, the data written on it turned out to be Shile's founding period. Yes, so many years have passed and it cannot be used as a reference at all: "The number of Lanling County is slightly less, and it can be more than one hundred thousand."

A large number of population migration will be a big problem. Secondly, the population needs to face the large number of docks and walled cities. If these places are not solved, there will be no population to obtain.

The key issue lies in Liu Yan's case. Too many and troublesome things do not disappear with the end of the war, but rather more.

The powerful and powerful places that own the Wubao and the walled city will not easily compromise. That is the foundation that Shijie Zhao has not cultivated for decades. What is placed in front of the Han army is to look for the typical to be a shock. How to frighten is still a problem, if you do a good job, you can make the rest of the place arrogantly compromise, so as not to fight slowly one by one.

If the deterrence does not work, it is impossible for the Han army to waste so much time fighting over one by one. Do not forget that the threat from Qingzhou does not only come from Xuzhou. The threat from Sun Fudu in the direction of Jizhou is imminent, and Yao Yizhong seems to be moving from the direction of Yanzhou. Approaching Qingzhou.

"Look for the strongest dock first to break, and give the rest of the powerful deterrence." Sang Yu thought: "If it doesn't work, don't we recruit a large number of new recruits? Only a small number of veterans and recruits can attack the dock."

"Be prepared with both hands." Ji Chang is actually more inclined to attack Pengcheng directly. Conquering Pengcheng would be the best deterrent. Killing or capturing Shi Zun can also build momentum for Wang Jianguo. Unfortunately, there is no time. . He said: "The mobilization of recruits is an urgent matter, and it happens to be on the way."

Don't forget that Yishui is a waterway. The Han army can transport troops to the front line by boat. Of course, it can also transport civilians back from the front line, so the traffic will not be empty.

Originally, they thought they would get more things in Xuzhou, but they imagined something different from reality. For example, they didn't get much from cereals, but the number of cattle and sheep seemed to be huge.

If you think about it carefully, the same thing seems to be the case. Most Hu people feed on cattle and sheep, and plant foods because of Shijie Zhao's agricultural productivity has declined so badly, and the number must be in the minority.

"My lord, horses, cows, and sheep may be difficult to carry by boats." Tian Shuo was filled with pain in his happiness: "There are too many."

This time, the Xuzhou Army who defeated the State of Shijie Zhao, because it was the end of the siege and annihilation, captured more than 100,000 horses, and the total number of cattle and horses totaled about 170,000, which is really a huge batch of supplies. The corresponding amount of fodder is also huge. After all, horses, cattle, and sheep themselves eat mostly fodder.

"We still have at least two or more big battles." Ji Chang smiled a little forcefully: "I'm afraid...Sun Fudu's trial of us has already begun?"

According to the guess of the Han army, Shijie Zhao Guo, who has already suffered a loss, should change his strategy, and no longer come all the way alone and be defeated by each, with the momentum of thunder as if the mountain is overwhelmed by multiple attacks at the same time?

How many troops can Liu Yan have on hand that can be used in field operations? There were about 50,000 before. The Battle of Xuzhou is over, and there are only thirty-five thousand main forces that can be used for combat. This is a dangerous signal, especially since the next attack may be more than two lines. The main force of the Han army has to be concentrated in the field. It is absolutely impossible to divide it into two parts.

How to deal with it has been improving with difficulty. The established plan is to find a place that must be guarded to build fortifications. It is for this reason that the whole set of horns of Xia Mi, Ping Shou, and Chun Yu has used huge manpower and material resources to continuously improve.

"We are here to delay for another month at most." Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan worriedly and said, "No matter how much, the rear is really unstable."

Liu Yan wanted to pit the Jin army, but the distance was really far.

Looking at the Jin army's degree of action, and then at the attack intensity, a good Northern Expedition was a bit protracted, and the number of troops invested in nearly two months was still less than 20,000.

"The border line is too long. The Zhao army has the advantage in the number of troops. Furthermore, the Yan State and Liangzhou Army have not seen any movement as originally planned." Huan Wen told the truth: "The lack of Yan State and Liangzhou Army involved Zhao Jun. , The imperial court feels that it is only the way of the emperor."

Liu Yan understood.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty did not expect the Han army to do much. It was still considered dispensable, or it would not be when Liu Yan led the army to fight against Shijie and Zhao army, the young ~ court still wanted to do it in Qingzhou. conspiracy.

Ji Chang asked: "If the young ~ court knew that the Xuzhou army was annihilated, would they send more troops to Xuzhou?"

"The border between the imperial court's ruling area and the State of Zhao is very long, and it has repeatedly moved the whole body." Yuan Qiao said with a wry smile: "General Cheqi (Yu Bing) has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on his hands, but... except Xuzhou has to deal with Yuzhou and Jingzhou."

"Cheng Han, who had already disappeared, learned that Shihu was going to pour the soldiers from the whole country to the south, and Li Shou moved his troops to condemn the generals again." Huan Wen looked helpless: "Only in the Badi area, Li Shou garrisoned fifty thousand. It may invade at any time."

Yes, it's a mess that can be seen. If you look at it as a whole, there are really a lot of things to deal with in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and almost everywhere are flaws.

It would be good if the Jin army had four to five hundred thousand to deal with multiple defense areas, but the population and productivity restrictions in the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be difficult to raise two hundred thousand troops, and naturally it would be restricted everywhere. I really want to thank the Yangtze River, and I have to thank the Hu people for being unbearable for water wars, or the border line is so long, Shijie Zhao Guo is completely dominant in the deployment of troops, it is strange that the Eastern Jin Dynasty can hold it.

"What!?" Yu Bing is also a handsome man, but his handsome face is full of surprise and disbelief: "Liu Jungong annihilated more than one hundred thousand Xuzhou army?"

The result of the fierce battle between the Han army and the Shijie Zhao army spread to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was already ten days ago.

"The news is correct!" Wang Tan's head is like a little chicken that points rice. He is only thirteen years old this year, but he is very burly and majestic: "It was Yuanzi who sent the soldiers to send the news."

The news of the detention of Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao was also sent back together, not written in the letter, but a soldier sent back by Huan Wen.

Yu Bing didn't have any effort to irritate Liu Yan's detainees. He was completely shocked by the destruction of the main force of the Xuzhou Army in Shijie: "No? Isn't it possible that Wang Luan has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands?"

"It is claimed that the real strength is in the early 120,000." Wang Tanzhi said in his youth without any scruples: "Liu Jungong wiped out the 120,000 with only less than 50,000 troops. It is simply too powerful! "

Yu Bing looked dumbfounded: "Fifty thousand? What is the real strength?"

No way, who doesn't say a name these days? There are thousands of people who dare to shout tens of thousands, and there are tens of thousands of people who dare to shout hundreds of thousands. It is not surprising that Yu Bing is uncertain about how many troops Liu Yan has.

"No, Jun Gong Liu didn't claim it. It was a real fifty thousand." Wang Tan said with admiration: "According to Yuanzi, the armored cavalry is close to three thousand, and the light cavalry is close to ten thousand. The cavalry is like this. The number, but Yuanzi really thinks that it is an infantry of about 10,000 people, a powerful infantry that can fight and win against tens of thousands of cavalry!"

Huan Wen was impressed by the battle that mainly ended up fighting. He used a lot of words to introduce the Han army infantry, especially emphasizing the sharpness of the bow and crossbow, and even asserted that as long as there is no shortage of arrows, no one can break it. He finally reminded that the Han army is definitely more than the elite infantry. After all, the armor and equipment alone have three thousand, and if there are nearly ten thousand tukies, there is no reason that the elite infantry will only have ten thousand.

"No wonder..." Yu Bing looked melancholy: "Liu Jungong dared to raise the Han flag in the hustle and bustle of the Central Plains, how could he not rely on it? It's just four years to be able to develop like this, it is really incomprehensible."

"General, the Xuzhou army has been destroyed, and the defenders of Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple must panic." Wang Tan's face was longing: "Capturing Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple is no longer a problem, so we should take advantage of the rare opportunity to cross the river and win. The Huaiyin area is right now!"

Of course Yu Bing knew that now was the best opportunity, but he had doubts, a big one: "After Liu Jungong annihilated the main force of the Xuzhou army in Shijie, can he push Pengcheng?"

"This Yuanzi didn't say it." Wang Tanzhi thought for a while: "Duke Liu shouldn't go to Pengcheng. Should he choose easy-to-capture counties and counties to expand the results?"

What Yu Bing was uncertain about was how much force Liu Yan had in his hand~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Then again, it was whether Liu Yan had the intention to capture Xuzhou. According to Yu Bing, Liu Yan didn't pay much attention to Shijie Zhao's territory before, but tried his best to expand overseas. To say that it is ugly is a bit of abandonment.

"Inquire about the news." Yu Bing was full of entanglement, and was silent: "If Liu Jungong pushes Pengcheng, we will increase our troops northward."

Wang Tanzhi glanced at Yu Bing deeply, then blinked his lips: "Is it because the trash behind is pulling back legs again?"

Yu Bing's face was bitter: "I had expected it."

The retreat of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not only the family, but the Sima imperial family contributed the most. The south of the Yangtze River can be described as changing circumstances, especially the Sima Royal Family is the most active.

Sima’s family was actually too scared to bear. One was the pressure from Shijie and Zhao Guo’s efforts to go south, and the other was the strength mobilized by the Yu family and the Huan family. They themselves usurped Cao Wei to establish the country, how can they not be afraid of being usurped? Therefore, for the Sima royal family, guarding against their courtiers is a must, and ensuring that the royal family has no worries is countless times more important than the Northern Expedition.
