Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 Starting the Second Northern Expedition on Four Routes

After eight years in China and five years of recuperation, Zhang Yi finally proposed the second Northern Expedition plan again in the first lunar month.

This time he felt that four groups of soldiers and horses were formed, with Wei Rui as the general, Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang as the deputy generals, leading an army of [-] to attack Bingzhou from Hedong.

Along the way, Xue Rengui was the general, and Lu Meng, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan were the deputy generals. They led an army of [-] to attack Liyang from Puyang.

Along the way, with Su Lie as the general and Lu Guang and Zhang Xiu as the deputy generals, he led an army of [-] to attack Qinghe from Ramping, Jibei County.

Along the way, with Tang He as the general and Pang De, Yue Fei, and Shan Xiongxin as the deputy generals, he led an army of [-] to attack the Bohai Sea from Gaotang.

Zhang Yi sent a total of 17 troops, including [-] cavalry, led by Gao Changgong, Xue Rengui, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Shan Xiongxin and others.

After five years of rest, Cao Pi has recovered a lot of strength, and gathered 30 troops on the front line to block Zhang Yi's attack.

In Liyang, Cao Ren led an army of [-], with Cao Xiu and Guo Huai under his command.In Qinghe, Le Jin led an army of [-], led by Lu Qian and Wang Ling.In Bohai, Zhang Liao led an army of [-], with Man Chong and Hu Zhi under his command.In Taiyuan, Cao Zhen led an army of [-], with Qianzhao and Han Hao under his command.

In addition to the four places, Cao Pi also had two garrisons, Yecheng garrison [-], he himself was the commander, and Sima Yi and Xiahouba were in command.There are [-] troops in Zhuojun, led by Cao Zhang.

Cao Pi is much stronger than the Yuan brothers. He knows that his current situation is not very good, so he is very united with the brothers.He humbly listened to Cao Zhi's opinion, and reused Cao Zhang, and selected many talents from many Xiahou and Cao families to entrust him with important tasks, among which Xiahouba was the representative figure.

Without Cao Chun, Cao Pi lacked the generals who commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the land of the three states could not rebuild the tiger and leopard cavalry on a large scale.Cao Pi used the saved money to build cavalry, and recruited Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan cavalry to guard Hebei.

Cao Pi's large number of cavalry did interfere with Zhang Yi's army crossing the river, especially the nomadic cavalry. Their personal strength is tyrannical, and with the bow and arrow supported by Cao Pi, it will be even more tyrannical.

However, when facing Zhang Yi's army, they were still a little powerless.After being disturbed, Zhang Yi's naval ships immediately lined up, and then put the ballista on the ship across the north side of the ship. Thousands of crossbow arrows were fired, and all the nomadic cavalry shot people were turned on their backs.

Nomadic cavalry seldom wear armor, and even if they wear armor, they cannot withstand the shooting of ballistas. Once they are shot, they will either die or be disabled, whether it is a man or a horse, this is the result.

The nomadic cavalry retreated in fright, and then Zhang Yi's soldiers began to go ashore.After going ashore, they did not choose to set up camp, but deployed a crossbow formation. After the strong bows and crossbows were deployed, they advanced in the form of a square formation.

If the nomadic cavalry came again, arrows would shoot over the sky and cover the sky, and as many as they came, as many as they died.

In this way, Cao Pi's plan to intercept Zhang Yi's soldiers from going ashore with nomadic cavalry failed.The nomadic cavalry did bring a lot of harassment to Zhang Yijun, but it was nothing more than harassment.

After Zhang Yi sent the army out, he didn't pay too much attention. It was too easy for such a lineup to defeat Cao Pi.

Zhang Yi is still worried about his family more now. Hong'er gave birth to a boy at the beginning of the year, and Lu Xun named him Lu Kang.

This made Zhang Yi a little worried. Lu Kang was born a few years earlier. I don't know if he will still be as outstanding as in history.There may or may not be.

After his mother becomes Hong'er, her force value will definitely increase. Without going into details, she will definitely be able to reach around 90.But Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to force, because Lu Kang was a Confucian commander like Lu Xun, and the most powerful thing was his military strategy.

Huang'er also chose a husband-in-law, a man from a poor family named Deng Ai.

Yes, it is the Deng Ai in history.

"Deng Ai, force: 90, strategy: 97, strategy: 91, internal affairs: 88, education: 78, diplomacy: 71."

This Deng Ai can be said to be a typical counterattack.Although he comes from a big family, he is from the Deng family in Nanyang, and is of the same clan as Deng Fang and others.However, his family was in decline, his father died early, and his mother had trouble even feeding him.After Zhang Yi captured Nanyang, he recruited weavers in the Nanyang area. His mother took him to Shouchun, raised him by weaving, and sent him to a government private school to study.

After growing up, Deng Ai successfully entered the university to continue his studies because of his hard work, and became a reserve official.

He and Huang'er met when Huang'er was visiting the weavers, all of whom were from the Royal Weaving Institute, and Deng Ai's mother was among them.When I went to Deng Ai's house to condolences, I was overwhelmed by Deng Ai's filial piety and talent.

Huang'er is the daughter of Bu Lianshi. Because his family is poor, Bu Lianshi doesn't have much education.Huang'er studied with Da Qiao, but she was not at all ashamed of her mother's lack of education, but she liked the simple life very much.

After falling in love with Deng Ai, the two knew each other for two or three years before Huang Er proposed to Zhang Yi to marry Deng Ai.

Zhang Yi also summoned Deng Ai, and Deng Ai's performance was acceptable, neither good nor bad.However, Deng Ai's future was bright, so Zhang Yi did not object. Instead, he made a marriage contract, and then appointed Deng Ai as the Yinling Order and asked him to try to manage the place.

Fighting on the front line is in full swing, and Zhang Yi is still training his daughter to be a son-in-law in the rear, so his heart is big enough.

But Zhang Yi can't be blamed, after all, the general will not accept the order of the emperor, and he can't command blindly in Shouchun, otherwise he will lose the battle.

None of these four armies need him to worry about.Although Zhang Yi didn't send them counselors, their own strategies were not bad, and they played tricks better than anyone else. As long as they didn't fall into the trap, they basically pushed flat.

When the strength reaches a certain level, no conspiracies and tricks will work.

When Xue Rengui faced Cao Ren, he completely revealed this side.

Although Cao Ren is also a general, his troops are twice as many as Xue Rengui's, and they are all veterans who have been recruited for several years.But when facing Xue Rengui, he still took the defensive.

Xue Rengui's combat ability in the wild is too strong. He and Ma Chao each lead [-] cavalry, and they are the Buddhas who block and kill the Buddha gods.

Those nomadic cavalry didn't believe it at first, and gathered 3 people and wanted to have a decisive battle with Xue Rengui.But in less than three days, he was brutally defeated by Xue Rengui.

Outside Liyang City, there were corpses everywhere, and ownerless horses running around.Of the thirty thousand nomadic cavalry, seven or eight were left behind. The rest were so frightened that they fled back to Youbin, not daring to hear Xue Rengui's name at all.
