Chapter 432: : Han's first civil war

   For Han, the opportunity now is rare. If you don’t take this opportunity to crippled Shijie Zhao, I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. Fastest update

   The plan that Liu Yan made for himself was to maimed Shijie Zhao within one year, laying the foundation for the restoration of the Central Plains. So the most useful and powerful thing to fight against the broken stone Jie Zhao is the Jie people who severely inflicted the white horse. As long as the dead of the Jie clan die to a certain extent, the Shihu's dominance in the Central Plains will not only be shaken, but also the two of the Shi Jie Zhao. The big accomplices of the Qiang and Di will also have different minds, and it is difficult to say whether many miscellaneous husbands will obey the rule of the Jie tribe.

   Crossing the Yellow River to attack Yecheng or Xiang Country is a risky plan.

   Let’s not talk about Yecheng, but Xiangguo is the true center of Shijie and Zhaoguo. Xiang Country has always been the essence of Shijie. The essence here does not refer to the economic center. Whether Shile or Shihu places the core parts of Qiang, Di, Jin, Xiongnu, etc. around Xiang Country, the result is Xiang The country is denser than other places.

"In the past one or two years, Shihu has gradually transferred the Jie people and people of all races to Yecheng, and Yecheng has become Shihu’s most important companion capital." Many of the Sangyu clan members used to be officials in Shijie Zhao State. Some of the core clansmen are not small in official positions, and they have a high degree of understanding of Shijie and Zhao. He said: "Shihu mobilized the Jie people on the march. He will not leave too many Qiang, Di, and Jin people in Xiangguo or Yecheng. He will also worry about those people rebelling."

   Ye City has been in the Great Palace in recent years, using more than one million manpower, and the material resources are even more difficult to calculate. It is equivalent to Shijie Zhao’s national power is mostly used for the construction of Ye City.

   Shijie Zhao’s national power was originally not strong, and a large amount of materials were consumed for the construction of Yecheng. This is because Shihu was not prepared for this war.

   Since Yao Yizhong was captured by the Han army, the Qiang ethnic group has actually entered a real split.

  Shihu originally thought he would control the Qiang tribe easily. What he didn't expect was that he lost Yao Yizhong's restraint. It was better to be familiar with Qiang, but the birth of Qiang became the main force causing trouble.

   There is always a difference between "cooked" and "raw" in non-civilized nations. The so-called "familiarity" means that the society has developed to a certain extent, for example, it has begun to be organized and coordinated, and naturally it should also be counted as having a certain cultural foundation. "Birth" refers to barbarism and disobedience to leadership. Usually, the "birth" part of each nation is the most barbarous group, and it is of great military significance to be able to use it for oneself.

   Yao Yizhong is the recognized and recognized general leader of the Qiang nationality, and it is precisely because of this that Shi Hu is jealous.

   In general, Shi Hu’s original calculations fell through. Although Yao Yizhong was a threat when he was there, after Yao Yizhong was captured by the Han army, the chaos of the Qiang clan became a real threat.

   Shihu was not only unable to control the Qiang people because of Yao Yizhong's capture, but the Di people after Fuhong went to Longxi were not so obedient to Shihu's dispatch.

Take this time Shihu led an army to Puyang County as an example. If Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong are still there, Shihu can let them assemble the young and Zhuang people of the Qiang and Di ethnic groups. Can mobilize zahu and Jin people in Shijie.

  Zhuhu is generally an influential commodity. It does not mean how weak the zhuhu is. It is because there are too many tribes and it is difficult to be organized. It is also incomparable to the big tribes. A miscellaneous Hu can be extremely brave in a downwind fight. When encountering a stalemate, he will choose to go to work and not contribute. When the situation is unfavorable, the first one to collapse is the miscellaneous.

  The Jin people are at the bottom of the society in Shijie and Zhao, and their social status is not even as good as that of beasts. That was what Shijie Zhao State clearly stated in the law. One of Shijie's laws, "crime of hurting beasts," was specifically used to target the people of Jin. The so-called "crime of hurting beasts" is well understood. It means that Jin people cannot harm beasts in any way, even if they are attacked by wild beasts, or they will be held by Shijie’s official investigation. Just kill Jin people.

  Shi Jie, those Jin people who were not living well in Zhao Kingdom, they faced the disaster of extinction in the eighth year of the establishment of Wu in Shi Jie. The reason is that Shi Hu obeyed the prediction of Wu Jin, a monk from Shamen.

  Wu Jin was a native of Jin. After he converted to Shamen, he became a monk "not within the five elements". His Jin was exempted because of his status as a monk.

  Wu Jin, who is not in the "world", predicted to Shihu that in the future, Shijie Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed by the Jin people, and the Jin people should be ravaged, and the vitality of the Jin people should not be restored.

   Shihu started to build palaces in Yecheng. In addition to his hobbies and enjoyment, another big reason is Wu Jin's language.

The construction of the palace requires a lot of manpower. It is a common phenomenon to die in engineering operations with today’s technology. It was only from the eighth year of Jianwu to the eleventh year of Jianwu that more than 700,000 Jin people were expropriated and conscripted. In Yecheng, I don’t know if there are 200,000 people alive today.

   There is another thing. In order to further kill more Jin people, Shi Hu carried out a canal excavation, and the manpower collected reached a terrifying five million.

   is to collect five million people to dig the river, five million people! It can be said that Shihu is definitely a feat that has never been seen before. Based on the total population of Shijie Zhao, which has a total population of more than 20 million, it has recruited five million people for corvee. Even Yang Guang used more than two million people to dig the canal. At that time, Yang Sui's national population was more than 40 million.

"How about Jin people being weak and useless." When Ji Chang said this, his face was green: "If you don't be regarded as a person, you will suffer persecution all the time, but you will be divided and defend yourself. As long as you don't touch them. They will only watch with cold eyes, and others choose to watch with cold eyes when they are really moved."

Ji Chang's words are still a bit paranoid. After the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Jie clan, many people raised their arms and appealed to resist. Some people like Chen An, Hou Ziguang, Fan Ben, etc. have successively raised their arms against the Huren, but these people The pattern is basically too small. If you occupy a county, you will be called king and emperor. Rebelling against the righteousness of the Hu people has become a selfish desire. The response is not wide. It is the same as Ran Min's move and consequences of becoming king as soon as he entered the pass. It's almost the same, but there is no way to protect itself and it is easily wiped out.

   Liu Yan was on his way again with people, leaving 30,000 troops stationed in East A. He took 40,000 troops and a group of people to Fan County in Dongping County.

   There are quite a lot of miscellaneous people. For example, Liu Yan has close to one hundred maids and waiters. Of course, the rest of the officials also have people who take care of themselves. The total number is more than 1,000.

  Whether to venture across hundreds of miles to attack Yecheng and Xiangguo has been under discussion. The civilian officials didn't have a specific statement. On the military attache's side, Ran Min and Huanwen tried their best to turn Liu Yan from an idea into a practical action.

   At this time, Ran Min and Huan Wen were running side by side. The two had just nodded before, and they quickly approached after they had a common bond.

"Shihu mobilized the Jie and all ethnic groups to join the army. Yecheng and Xiangguo must be an unprecedented emptiness." The Zhulong horse under Ran Min's buttocks is definitely stronger than Huanwen's Xiji horses, leading him to ride. When on horseback, he must be a lot higher than Huan Wen. He said from above and below: "There are hundreds of thousands of forced laborers in Yecheng, and they have long been uncomfortable. With Shihu leading the soldiers, our army can easily Another response from hundreds of thousands of coolies."

   Huan Wen didn't understand Shi Jie and Zhao Guo as well as Ran Min. From the beginning, Ran Min was explaining the situation in detail. He really hoped that Liu Yan could take an adventurous action. He felt that it was a great opportunity to attack him by surprise, and the probability of success was not low. He knows how much risk there is to have much credit, and his eyes are fixed on the candidate for the commander.

"In the pre-Qin period, Zhang Han used a gang of criminals as soldiers, and he was invincible and attacked. It was only when he met an overlord that he smashed and sank into the sand." Huan Wen muttered, "Shi Jie and Zhao Guo did not have a character like an overlord. ."

   Nowadays, there is one who is hailed as the overlord, and that person is Ran Min, who runs alongside Huan Wen and Cheng Ma. Ran Min belonged to the Han country, and Huan Wen said that there were some flattering meanings.

"Our army will be able to use those coolies for their own use. Isn't that the truth?" Ran Min looked at Wang Nian's position and said, "The king intends to send troops to Yecheng and Xiangguo. There must be something similar. Thoughts."

   There is not only Liu Yan above Wang Nian, but Ji Chang, Sang Yu, Lu Yi, Cai You, etc. are all on it, watching from a distance, the conversation is enthusiastic.

   Huanwen also looked at Wang Yan and asked in a guessing tone: "Prime Minister Zuo is not a cautious person. He has a great influence on the king. If he can get the support of Prime Minister Zuo, things will be easier."

   This time Huan Wen's expectation is going to fail, and Wang Nian has already talked about whether it is necessary to fight dangerously.

"An attack on Yecheng or Xiangguo can force Shihu to respond, but no one can guarantee that once the fortification offensive and defensive warfare turns into a mobile warfare, Shihu will not withdraw directly." Ji Chang repeatedly considered what he had to say. : "The national power of the Han Dynasty is better than that of Shijie. Fighting a stalemate and a war of attrition is beneficial to the Han. Why should we give up the advantages and change the situation?"

   Liu Yan has already said that his idea is to lay down the hope for the restoration of the Central Plains within one year. His statement was approved, and opposition began to appear as to whether he should take a risk.

"Most of the young people of the Jie clan are concentrated in the white horses. That is what the big man has been looking forward to." Cai You is also considering it. He said: "Our army is not short of food and equipment, and has better experience in offensive and defensive warfare than Zhao Jun. Hu people are better at field battles, especially horse-riding battles."

   Can Liu Yan say that he is already thinking about changing the Janissaries to cavalry? The cavalry of the 40,000 Imperial Guards cooperated with the 70,000 cavalry of the field troops, and the Han army did not hesitate to fight the Hu cavalry.

   "Our army's armor and equipment are also overall better than Zhao Jun." Sang Yu said with a smile: "It is rare that Shihu is willing to concentrate the main force of the Jie people in one place, and it will be bad if they let them run."

   The three core civil servants expressed the same opinion, and they all believed that the current situation is very good and should not be changed easily. Now Liu Yan had to be cautious.

   Ran Min and Huan Wen were already close to Wang Nian. After they asked, they went to Wang Nian, bowed and sat down on their knees.

"Shang Wang." Ran Min didn't know what happened to Wang Nian just now. He told the conversations with Huan Wen. The main thing was that the Han army could get hundreds of thousands of responses when they arrived in Yecheng, and finally said: " Once the city of Yecheng and Xiangguo were captured, the core of Shijie was considered to be mastered by the great Han. During the period of time, all nations and races must know which Han and Shijie were strong and weak, and it would inevitably disintegrate the cohesion of the countries, and be able to defeat each one better. "

  The vertical and horizontal thing is that Huan Wen told Ran Min that as the Han army turned advantageous in various battlefields, combined with the continuous alliance between Shijie Zhao and other countries, it was really similar.

"Considering that the Hu people are mostly cavalry, there is a greater tendency for positional warfare to turn to mobile warfare. Min carefully studied the terrain and the distribution of the two armies." Ran Min was extremely confident when talking about the military: "Dunqiu. It is mostly mountainous, and it is not easy to enter because of the characteristics of Huren cavalry. Jijun and Weijun have relatively flat terrain, but the distribution of water systems within the two counties is dense. As long as Jijin is controlled by our army, the fleet can enter those Water system."

The Yellow River has many tributaries, Qingshui and Qishui in Ji County, and Baigou in Dunqiu County, Yangping County and Wei County are also one of the tributaries of the Yellow River~www.wuxiamtl.com~ There are also many tributaries in Baigou Many water systems actually meet each other.

   Liu Yan looked at Ran Min strangely. Ran Min doesn't understand water wars at all, so what about the water system is what Huan Wen mentioned to Ran Min?

When Huan Wen saw Liu Yan's gaze, he immediately smiled and said: "Baigou is still connected to the Huangchi, and there is a large lake covering a very wide area. It can be used as the base of our military fleet to fully control the relevant water systems. The water system is controlled by our army, and the fighting season is in the autumn when the water is high. Even if the Hu people cavalry are strong in mobility, we will find opportunities to intercept them."

   Ji Chang is looking at each other with Sang Yu. They can see Ran Min and Huan Wen's intentions. They have some extraordinary interest in entering the army of Yecheng or Xiangguo. They even exchanged ideas on how to make strategic arrangements.

   The system of the Han Kingdom determined that without a general, Prime Minister Zuo had the right to be involved in the military, but he only had the right to make suggestions, not the right to be arbitrary. Then again, regardless of who has any rights, Liu Yan is the one who finally took the case.

"Qingshui can be used as the first interception line. If it can't be stopped, there will be Qishui." Huan Wen continued with a thoughtful look: "Baigou and related tributaries are alternate interception lines. Our army does not lack inland water forces. The number of piles can also pile up a water interception line that is difficult to cross. In this way, when the enemy moves, our army can find more opportunities and seek more fighters. In addition, frequent mobilization must increase organizational strength. A weak enemy army creates chaos. Isn’t it the opportunity to take a bite at a time and achieve the greatest results with minimal losses?”rw
