Sweep the World

Chapter 431: : Is it necessary to take risks?

   To be a bit rude, Han Guo is now covered with excrement and urine. Doing more before cleaning it would be too embarrassing. It did not recover the Central Plains, and even failed to solve Liaodong, Guanzhong and Northwest. It is an inappropriate behavior to go south. Fastest update

  The Han country can do whatever it takes to the country of humiliation, but not to the same ethnic forces. Regarding the acceptance and absorption of the population, it is even more difficult to deal with internal conflicts. Therefore, in dealing with Zhang’s Liang Kingdom and the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han country could attack from an official level, but it could not be as unscrupulous as the country of the Huren.

   There are so many aristocratic families in the south that it is unimaginable. So far, Han has not made a decision about how to treat those aristocratic families. It is absolutely impossible to kill all of them. To kill a part and win the other part is unwilling to the majority of the senior officials in Han. After all, there are so many benefits, and the distribution of their own people is not enough. Why should they give up the benefits?

   "So, only by solving the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Northeast, Guanzhong and other places, can we go south with all our strength." Liu Yan has led his army to set off, and their destination is Jibei County. Of course he was riding on top of Wang Nian, and the person speaking with Wang Meng was Wang Meng: "The situation we are facing is very complicated. We have to fight against the authorities and deal with the powerful in various places. Actually, the military strength is not enough."

   Wang Meng has been a secretary to Liu Yan for nearly a year. What is certain is that in winter, he will be transferred to the local county as a county magistrate, and how long he will stay in the local area depends on his political achievements.

   They set off from Fenggao and walked along the Wenshui line. There were nearly 70,000 troops on land, and there were densely packed boats and warships on the waterway, just like a mighty look.

   There are many officials accompanying him this time, and the prime ministers left and right will drive along, as is Jiuqing, and then there will be many middle-level officials. After all, the king of the country personally recruits, and Liu Yan does not have people like the prince of the prison, and the country's big and small matters will definitely gather at Wang Nian.

The season is approaching autumn, and autumn is the time for the main killings. The Han country clearly rejected the possible peace of Murong Yanguo. It also refused to redeem Yao Yizhong from Shijie Zhaoguo. It just agreed that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would return Chu. Well, the treatment of other countries seems plain.

   The more Han states that it is not afraid of all enemies in the world, the more countries are afraid to make trouble with Han, and some countries that want to ally with Han appear more eager. So, sometimes the momentum is really important.

"Shijie has no specific national policy. Judging from the current situation, it is that he has not been ready for a long and hasty war. The Xianbei Yan Kingdom previously wiped out many countries and tribes and fell into the quagmire of counterinsurgency and fighting everywhere." Wang Meng has many advantages as Liu Yan's secretary. One of them is to have a better understanding of the general trend of the world: "The big man is prepared to fight, and there is no shortage of grain and armor. Although the source of troops is slightly insufficient, it has the upper hand in the country."

   This is the truth, Han Guoqiang is strong in national power, and there is no need to be a counselor at all. Not only can the Han state not show a guilty conscience, it must remain as tough as it has always been.

   Before, Liu Yan didn't know how to operate the Huren’s country. In the past few years, he has basically understood it. It is true that Hu Ren did not act on national policies, and most of the time he did one thing with his head patted. Not only a country of Huren, but in fact, even a country of Chinese civilization has a similar situation. The difference is that there will be at least some preparations.

   Shihu was originally going to Guanzhong, but in the meantime he went to the battlefield of Puyang County, which was tantamount to changing his mind halfway through. It doesn’t matter if the individual wants to do something halfway, but the country can’t do what the country has to do in the first moment, and then interrupt to do other things in the next moment, which will cause many previous preparations to fail, and new things will have to be re-started. Come again. However, things at the national level will not appear simple, and a change in the middle will appear hasty for the country, and it is more likely to cause changes.

  The national power of Han is so strong that there is no reason at all. Not only is there a systemic factor, it also has a major relationship with national management, and then there is a question of popular sentiment.

   Let’s not talk about the benefits of the system, let’s talk about the mainstream ideas among Chinese people first. The source of Han's population is liberation and salvation. Everyone has gone through tragic turbulence. They have a stable living space. All they think about is production, and their enthusiasm for production is absolutely high.

  The vast majority of the population of Han is in the management mode of collective farms. The country implements the policy of farming and warring the country. Under the premise that the army is not aggressively recruited, it is the only way to work hard and expect to obtain the title.

The knighthood has a special significance in the Han country. It is not only to obtain a lofty social status, but also to change one’s life and even the only basis for future generations. The most important thing is that the possession of a knighthood will have one’s own private land, even if it’s just because of the last point, people People will fight their lives for the title.

   Last year, the Han army recruited, and the response from the people was far beyond imagination. It was a situation in which long queues were formed to sign up as long as it was a settlement. The recipients were so excited that they were unable to become a member of the army.

   Twenty-ranked nobility was destined in advance. There is a consensus that military merit is high. If it is not reached a certain level, then it is for the health of the country. It is really not difficult to recruit four or five million soldiers based on the population structure of Han.

   Wang Nian arrived in Dong'a, Jibei County 18 days later, and Ran Min led many generals to welcome Liu Yan's arrival.

"Kings!"

   It was Ran Min who took the lead to see it, because the armor was performing a military salute.

   The military salute of the Han army is to stand up straight, put his right hand across his chest, and head down a little.

   The Ran Min that Liu Yan saw was very high spirited, and Ran Min did have reason to be high spirited. The main battlefield of Puyang, including its surroundings, had close to 150,000 Han troops returned to Ran Min's command.

After Ran Min took over the command, the battle with Shi Jie and Zhao Guo was mutually successful, but the Han army on the other side of the Puyang battlefield did not show signs of decline, and the surrounding Han troops were fighting against Shi Jie and Zhao, just like that. That would make Shihu want to seek a truce.

"Before the king came over, our army and Shi Jie had just been fighting on Weicheng." Ran Min followed Liu Yan and introduced: "Both sides are using cavalry. We have eaten the weight of three hundred Longteng guards. Cavalry and three thousand light cavalry, the enemy's infantry also has eight thousand."

   It is not easy for the cavalry to wipe out the battle. Liu Yan became curious about the battle on Wei Cheng.

  There is no too complicated process. It was Ran Min who set up a trap to attract Shijie Zhao Jun, and then used his superior force to encircle him and eat it. The method seems common and simple, but it is not easy to implement. The overall view and the art of command, which are related to command, use the strength advantages generated by the mobilization of local forces in the great war.

   "Anshi." Ran Min beckoned to the back, and waited for Xie An to get closer before saying, "The battle is on the spot. Anshi can talk about passing by."

   Shijie Zhao’s Dragon Guardian was not that delicious. Liu Yan vaguely remembered that when he had eaten five hundred Dragon Guardians in the Battle of Taishan County, his own loss was three times that of Dragon Guardian.

You can show your face in front of the emperor. Xie An, even the gentleman, will not let it go. He is a very educated person. He speaks in an orderly manner without losing the details. Then he said: "The Dragon Guard is really hard to deal with. Only three hundred dragon guards caused nearly a thousand deaths and injuries to our army, and after annihilating the enemy's light cavalry, equipped infantry and crossbow troops wiped it out."

   The Shijie Zhao Jun who appeared in the Battle of Weicheng was not only three hundred Dragon Guards, three thousand Qingqi and eight thousand pawns, but also eight hundred Dragon Guards and nearly ten thousand Qingqi, as well as nearly thirty thousand pawns. The part eaten by the Han army was continuously divided into parts, and then the remaining Shijie Zhao army was isolated before they were encircled and wiped out. What was involved was the battlefield scheduling problem. It can be seen that Xie An is also good at military affairs.

   "The main thing is that the soldiers spend their lives." Xie An doesn't seem to be humble: "An is not worthy of credit."

   Liu Yan didn't say anything, but asked: "What is happening to the enemy at the moment?"

  Similar to sending envoys to Fenggao, Shihu was willing to send Dragon Guards as a signal. Probably Shi Jie Zhao Jun had a problem with the logistics, and it would be difficult to stand up for a long time, otherwise Shi Hu would definitely be reluctant to bear his baby bumps.

Ran Min’s introduction also illustrates one point. The Han army used inferior forces in the main battlefield of Puyang to contend with and see-saw the 190,000 Jie tribal soldiers in Shihu’s hands. On the outer battlefield, Xu Zheng, Xie An, and Huan Wen interspersed and swept back and forth. Strike, the battlefield covers hundreds of miles around Puyang County, which is equivalent to the logistics line of Shijie Zhao Kingdom also being struck.

  Similarly, Shihu's troops on the periphery also attacked the logistics line of the Han army. The problem is that Shijie Zhaojun faced many fortresses and fortresses of various main roads. Then again... they didn't know that the logistics line was not too necessary for the Han army, because the Han army did not rely on long-distance transportation for its grain and ordnance.

   The main battlefield uses inferior troops and more troops are deployed on the outer battlefields. There have been many examples of similar practices in history, and there have been many successes and failures. The key point is that the main battlefield troops with inferior strength must be sufficiently elite.

Liu Yan has relevant data on hand. For seven months in Puyang’s main battlefield, the strength of the Han army has dropped to about 60,000. That was the battle loss caused by the long-term back and forth seesaw between the two sides. In exchange, Shihu’s Jie Ren clan soldiers. Nearly thirty thousand losses.

   The Han army only achieved a slight victory of 0.5 in the casualty exchange ratio. The armor of the Han army is more sophisticated than the Jie people, indicating that Shi Jie's ability to become the overlord of the Central Plains is not luck or accident, and it is not without reason that all nations and races are afraid of the Jie people.

"Min thought that Shihu would seek a decisive battle next." Ran Min said that with a determined expression, and he said with great certainty: "There is already a clear gap in national strength between the two sides. If it is dragged on, Zhao Jun will probably be due to logistical reasons. Morale became low and even collapsed without fighting."

   Isn't it because of this that Liu Yan personally led reinforcements over here!

   It is beneficial to the Han army, which has an advantage in national strength, if it drags on. It is more advantageous as the fighting drags on. This is a matter of course. Shihu tries to find peace, even if it is temporary peace, the starting point is to integrate national power, at least to search for enough materials for war, nothing more than Shijie Zhao Guo is really not ready for war, the Han country who understands this is unlikely to let Shihu As you wish.

   Everyone entered Dong'a City. This is a city that has become a large barracks with the arrival of the army. Like other cities, it appears dilapidated. There are not many civilians in the city.

   Dong'a is close to the main battlefield of Puyang two hundred miles away. Liu Yan will come here mainly because it is located close to the river that can provide fleet navigation, and land transportation is also very good. The main reason was that when necessary, the Han army could cross the Yellow River from the vicinity of Dong'a to the north bank, cut off the Shihu retreat on the back road, or directly attack Xiangguo and Yecheng.

   "Maybe... the world will see big changes in the next year." Liu Yan moved into a mansion in Dong'e City. It is estimated that this mansion is also a relatively good one in Dong'e. He waited for everyone to be seated before continuing to say: "What we have to strive for is to establish a victory for the restoration of the entire Central Plains within one year!"

   The center of the Han Kingdom has once again ordered the conscription. The second stage of the conscription amounted to as much as 200,000. The posture presented is truly a decisive posture that determines the fate of the country.

Counting the servant army and the slave army, after another 200,000 conscripts, the total number of the Han army will be close to 800,000. The attitude of the army is full, but the next year may really be a rare opportunity. It must not be allowed. Shijie Zhao Guo gasped for breath~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Liu Yan could not let go of this opportunity, he could dig a pit and bury Shijie Zhao Guo quickly, and he didn’t want to take his time. His enemy is not only Shijie Zhao Guo. One.

"The king." Ran Min just learned that Liu Yan intends to directly attack Xiangguo and Yecheng. After a while, he was full of excitement: "This is a snake hitting seven inches. It will inevitably cause the stone tiger to move. The current offense and defense relying on fortifications must be beneficial!"

That is the problem of courage. The normal concept is that the enemy will start a decisive battle wherever they are. Liu Yan does not want to fight a fortification battle. He must find a way to make the stone tiger move, but the risk inside is not low at all. For example, the Han army who crossed the river and fought deep into the abdomen of the enemy's territory may be completely wiped out.

   Dong'e is about two hundred and fifty miles away from Yecheng, and more than four hundred miles away from Xiangguo. Baima is more than two hundred miles away from Yecheng, and the distance is more than three hundred and fifty miles. Calculated from the distance between each other, Shijie Zhao Jun has the advantage. In terms of military motivation, the Han army has the initiative.

   Liu Yan asked with a smile: "Yongzeng thinks this is feasible?"

   "Naturally feasible!" Ran Min is not a timid person, it can even be said that he has a high sense of adventure. He could not suppress the excitement and said: "Whether it is Yecheng or Xiang Country, it is the key to Shijie. To win Shijie will inevitably cause turmoil throughout the country, and it will be extremely beneficial to the future conquest of Shijie. Failure to take it will also mobilize enemy forces and make me The army gains the initiative."

  The rest are thinking, most people think this is too risky. The reason they think this way is very simple. At present, the Han army has the advantage of national power and logistics, but it is Shijie Zhao Guo who can not afford to hold back. Why should we take risks? rw
