Sweep the World

After more than half a month's delay from the normal climate, Xiangguo finally ushered in the melting of ice and snow, but the temperature did not rise because of the melting of ice and snow. On the contrary, the melting of ice and snow brought low temperature.

About sending a fleet to invade the Southwest Peninsula almost two months ago, Liu Yan, who was in Xiangguo, not only paid attention to the official documents, but also checked the "map" in his mind when he was free.

Originally thought that the invasion of the borderless Southwest Peninsula would go smoothly, but the process was a bit of twists and turns. Not only did Fu Wei, who was a frontline commander, not expect it, even Liu Yan, who was in Xiangguo, was also surprised.

Unfamiliar with the weather and environment of Nanyang has brought a lot of trouble. Fortunately, after paying some price, it finally started to reap the rewards. With the first harvest, there will be a second time, allowing Liu Yan to refocus his attention. To northern Xinjiang.

Recently, Han has been paying attention to the white disaster situation in the grassland. Intelligence shows that Mobei suffered heavy losses and the Dingling tribe, which was ravaged by the white disaster, continued to move south.

Those Dingling people went south to Shijie Zhao's country. There were tribes incorporated by Shihu, and there were also tribes that disturbed Shijie Zhao's country. The situation was relatively complicated.

The Han country sent people here, not only to collect intelligence, but also to go deep into the grassland to find the Dingling tribe. The main purpose of the Han people who went to the Dingling tribe was to make it difficult for the tribe to live with Shijie Zhao. Their actions were not so smooth. The main reason was that the Dinglings did not even know that a new overlord had emerged in the Central Plains.

This year's spring climate is a bit abnormal. The cold season of ice and snow is not suitable for soldiers. The Han army has no action for the time being, but is just preparing for some war.

Three generals of the four ranks were appointed, and a new round of reorganization of the army began. The Northern Expedition Corps and the Southern Invasion Corps were cancelled. A large number of soldiers were retired. The direct units of the shogunate were planned again.

There are a total of six armies in the Shogunate Shogunate. Considering that the war against Shijiazhao will be a battle of cavalry, the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army are under the organization of the shogunate.

At present, General Zhengbei Li Tan is already in Jingling and will preside over the next battle. The location of the Jingling Mausoleum is currently relatively special. The northeast is Jicheng, which confronts the Zhao army led by Shi Xuan, and the northwest is Zhongyang, which faces Fuhong's army.

"The melting of snow and ice on the Bingzhou side has not yet begun. Considering that even the melting of ice and snow will make the road muddy, the start of the war will be about a month after the melting of the snow and ice." After Xu Zheng became a lieutenant, he could not go out and take the lead directly. The soldiers are fighting, and the main responsibility is to stay in the center and become the chief of the general staff role: "At present, four armies have entered the waiting position. The plan after the start of the war is to target the enemy forces in Yangyi first."

Yangyi is the Shijie Zhaojun troops stationed against Jicheng. Yangyi is currently the most important barrier of Jinyang, the capital of the state.

According to intelligence, the Shijie Zhao Jun of Yangyi should have a scale of 120,000 to 30,000, and one of Shijie’s elite Donggong Gaoli is among them. The Shijie family should also have 30,000 to 40,000, and the rest is Qiang, Di, miscellaneous hu and the like.

"The Imperial Guards are not counted, including the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army. We will deploy four cavalry corps on the northern line, and the other two are infantry corps." The flag is inserted in the sand table where it should be. He clicked on some positions, and continued: "Considering that the Bingzhou war needs to conquer several fortified cities, the main force's rear and flanks must also have enough troops. The counties and counties on the northern line need to be mobilized northward, and they will also be deployed. A sufficient number of servants."

The reason why Shi Jie Zhao Guo abandoned the Central Plains and retreated to Bingzhou and Shuozhou was forced by the current situation. Isn't it because the Hu people are not accustomed to city offensive and defensive warfare.

Shihu concentrated the elite part of the population for a big migration, which really made Liu Yan's plan to annihilate Shijie in the Central Plains to bankrupt. Jie doesn't want to fight with the Han army, it is difficult to carry out a battle of annihilation.

At present, the reason why Han and Shi Jie Zhao are in a confrontation situation in Bingzhou is that Liu Yan wants to create a phenomenon that makes Shi Jie mistakenly believe that some cities can be fixed and mobilize more troops to station in the city, so that there is a chance to let Han The army wiped out more Shi Jie Zhao army in the city offensive and defensive battle.

Xu Zheng has already talked about how likely Shi Xuan and Fu Hong will stick to the city. The Taiwei Department’s point of view is that if the situation is wrong, neither Shi Xuan nor Fu Hong will stick to the gains or losses of the site, but will ignore the city. Change hands.

"The Hu people's old profession is to use enough space to fight as long as they can. They cannot rely on mobility to escape." Xu Zheng pointed to the northwest and north of Bingzhou on the sand table, and said: "These areas are for Shijie. Ideal space for engagement."

It does not matter what the northwestern part of Binzhou looked like during the Han Dynasty. Now it is a desolate area. Although there are mountains, most of the area is flat. Desolation for decades has long been a steppe landform.

The northern part of Bingzhou is actually Yanmen County, which has never undergone much development. During the Han Dynasty, the terrain was used to build Guancheng, and the greatest barrier against the invasion of the grassland and Hu people was the Great Wall.

Whether it is the Great Wall built by various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or the Great Wall built during the Qin Empire, or even the Great Wall during the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties. With the passage of time, the Great Wall has actually fallen into disrepair. The towering walls have become ruins, and the Great Wall in certain areas has even been razed to the ground. Unless it is under construction or repairs, otherwise it no longer has military facilities. value.

"Considering that both Shi Xuan and Fu Hong may abandon the city and enter the field, our army may successfully seize every city at the beginning of the war, and even attack Jinyang without paying much." Xu Zheng lit a representative of Jinyang. The city model said with a smile: "This will become the next bridgehead for the confrontation between the big man and Shijie, and it has the value of being refurbished as a place for troops and material reserves."

"Can the Taiwei Office have an estimate, how far Shihu will persist in Bingzhou?" Liu Yan really used the Taiwei Office as a staff office. Before Xu Zheng could answer, he continued to ask: "The next river. Is there a plan for the battle of Shuo?"

"How long Shihu will stay in Bingzhou depends on how much Shi Jie loses." Xu Zheng confirmed with his subordinates that Shi Jie has regained the Hu Ren's nature, and he doesn't care about the gains and losses of the site, but cares about the masses. He looked at the position of Heshuo on the sand table and said: "Heshuo in the pre-Han period has not changed much from the current Heshuo. The minister looked through the classics and mainly looked up the battle of Meng Tian to recover Henan and Wei Qing to recover the Hetao... …"

Liu Yan naturally remembered how the Qin Empire and the Han Empire captured Heshuo. The situation in different periods was different, and the situation faced was different, but in terms of terrain, there must be some reference.

Without exception, whether it is the Qin Empire or the Han Empire, the scale of the troops sent to the Loop is very large, and it is not a single attack.

Meng Tian fought the battle of Henan, the main force was to attack from the Yanmen, and then arranged a partial division in the north, adopting a double arrow complementary offensive.

The Qin army fought the Hetao. At that time, the Huns in the Hetao didn’t realize that the Qin Empire would go to war suddenly. At the beginning of the war, King Qin unexpectedly appeared to wipe out some unprepared Huns tribes. Waiting for the Xiongnu Shan Yuting to react, Meng Tian had already responded. The army attacked the Beihe Huns and began to prepare for war.

The decisive stage of the Qin Empire’s battle to regain Henan was not just fought in one place, but in the highlands of Yinshan and Helanshan, and in Gaoque, Yangshan, Beijia and other places. After many **** battles, the Huns were killed. Realizing that they could not compete with the Qin army, the Huns fled to the northwest in a panic after being annihilated by more than 200,000.

In the war that the Han Empire fought against Heshuo, there were many similarities with Meng Tian's troops. Similarly, the Xiongnu did not take precautions. Compared with Meng Tian's battle of annihilating the enemy, Wei Qing's achievement of annihilating the enemy only killed and injured thousands of Huns and captured more than 15,000 people...

The battle against the Huns commanded by Wei Qing was often the kind that killed thousands of thousands. The most successful battle in Mobei was the annihilation of more than 90,000 Huns. And Meng Tian wiped out more than two hundred thousand Huns in just one battle. Perhaps...that's why Meng Tian was hailed as the number one warrior in China?

"This is naturally known." Xu Zheng was just asked by Ji Chang. He said that the two defeats of the Xiongnu in Heshuo had no relevant combat preparations. Shi Jie was not an unprepared Xiongnu. He didn't get annoyed, so he said, "As far as the pre-Qin and pre-Han are concerned, the situation faced by Dahan is different..."

Shi Jie had never been the overlord of the grassland. They directly turned the master of the Xiongnu into the master in the Central Plains, and then became the ruler of the Central Plains.

It is precisely the rise of Shijie that is a turnaround to become masters. The areas they can detour and fight are also Bingzhou and Shuozhou. The area further north is the territory of Dingling people on the northwest side, and Tuoba Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei on the northeast side. Rouran Tribal Alliance and Murong Xianbei.

If the Shuozhou occupied by the Han State fighting Shijie, if Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei could not interact with Shijie, the Han State would not be restrained in so many directions.

"However..." When it comes to diplomacy, Ji Chang has the right to speak: "Tuoba Xianbei has become an enemy country, and Murong Xianbei cannot sit back and watch the big man attack Shijie."

You know what it means if you’re not stupid. Especially the aggressiveness displayed by the Han State under Liu Yan’s rule is a bit scary. Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei are absolutely impossible to watch the Han State wipe out Shijie Zhao State. , Will do everything possible to add blocking or coping.

"Tuoba Xianbei is outside of Yanmen County, and Dahan will not border it until after it has captured Yanmen County." Xu Zheng had already let people push the wooden frame hanging the maps of mountains and rivers, and pointed to the grassland outside Yanmen County. : "The territories bordered by Jieshi are in these positions. If you can efficiently restore the city, the big man can stabilize it without too much force."

If Xu Zheng remembers correctly, at the beginning of the war between Han and Shijie Zhao, a wall was quickly built on each side of Han, especially the wall of ten miles in Liaodong was the most impressive. It took only one month to build the Shili City Wall.

"The big man does not intend to take a defensive position." Liu Yan's view of the Great Wall is very complicated, and he also knows that the Great Wall cannot stop Hu Lu from going south. He looked at Lu Yi and said, "What can Hongruguan do here?"

As a pawnbroker, Lu Yi is responsible for diplomacy, but he hasn't done much as a pawnbroker. For example, he has done very little in the face of enemy countries.

The reason why the Hongruguan could not play a role in the enemy's country was that Lu Yi could not tell. The Han country encountered the enemy's "doing" is just a word. When the enemy wanted to use diplomacy, he did not trust the enemy at all, and made the Hongruguan. It can only be used to bully those vassal states.

"This..." How else could Lu Yi answer? He could only smile and said, "The minister will do his best."

The Tuoba royal family is Liu Yan's in-laws. However, the marriage between the country and the country is only useful when both parties are getting along well. If you really feel threatened, the marriage will not prevent you from killing.

Speaking seriously, the situation will be like this. It is completely that the Han country is too tough. What it puts out is for the Han family to be supreme. To fully regain the old land of the Han family is a matter on the table. Shi Jie, who was originally an enemy, Zhao Guohe Needless to say, Murong Yanguo, Tuoba Daiguo and Zhang Liangguo have also turned their faces with Han.

"The timing of the war on Shi Jie, the minister thinks it is most appropriate in two months." Xu Zheng seemed to not expect to be able to use diplomacy to stabilize Tuoba Daiguo or Murong Yanguo. The muddy conditions of the roads in the state will not be so serious. Youzhou should be in the muddy stage where the ice and snow have just melted~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Then there is nothing wrong. The earth is an oval, with the North and South Pole at both ends, Youzhou Compared with Bingzhou and Shuozhou, it is closer to the North Pole, leading to the melting of ice and snow in Youzhou later than Bingzhou and Shuozhou.

There is a lot of water on the ground, and it will become muddy when stepped on. It is very troublesome to walk on foot or on horseback, and it is more than trouble to face the mud with a heavy carriage. Under the premise that the baggage is difficult to transport smoothly, any military operation is not feasible.

"Two months later..." Ji Chang had an account book in hand and nodded: "The Southward Invasion has harvested close to three million stone grains, which can supply wars on the North and Northeast Lines."

There is nothing wrong with it. If you want to attack Shi Jie Zhao, you must also act with Murong Yan. Conversely, you must fight with Shi Jie Zhao. Han Guo cannot attack which country to the north. Avoid fighting on two fronts.

However, Liu Yan thought of more. On the one hand, the harvest of the grain harvest that invaded the southwestern peninsula southward can alleviate the urgent need. What he is most gratified is that most of the domestic families have acted. Under his instruction, Yu Yi and Sang Yu have already begun to engage in joint trading houses. There are so many families involved, which makes him think that turning the Southwest Peninsula into a "hunting area" is a correct decision.
