sweeping the world

Chapter 273
After death, I know that everything is in vain, but the sadness is not the same as that of Jiuzhou.Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and he never forgot to tell Naiwen during family sacrifices.

This poem was written by Lu You, to the effect that he was looking forward to the unification of the country, and it appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The current situation is very similar to that of the Southern Song Dynasty. It basically belongs to the state of dividing the river and governing. There are some passionate people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty who are looking forward to crossing the Yangtze River and desperately trying to regain the lost land from the Hulu.In the two different dynasties, there are indeed people who have worked hard for the unification of the country. It can be said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty has more actual actions than the Southern Song Dynasty.

There is a data that is very obvious. The war between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Hulu was mostly in the enemy-occupied area north of the Yangtze River.So can we recognize that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not that incompetent, or the battlefield should have appeared within the national border, not in an enemy-occupied area?

"If you put it that way, you're not that incompetent." After Liu Yan saw the collected information, he was a little impressed by the Jin army. He suddenly became very interested in Zu Ti and Yu Liang: "Zu Ti is not only good at smelling chickens and dancing, Yu Liang is not alone. A handsome man."

If it is said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty intends to recover the lost ground, those times are the ones with the most movement. It should be Zu Ti and Yu Liang’s Northern Expedition, but Zu Ti did not receive any support. Difficult to survive in the betrayal, but also adhere to the Northern Expedition.

Yu Liang's Northern Expedition was much bigger than Zu Ti's movement. After all, the Yu family was the number one family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the Wang family, and the contacts that could be used were no joke.With the huge resources and manpower brought by his contacts, Yu Liang's Northern Expedition was also extremely difficult. During Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, there were still many local separatist forces that could be bought and surrendered in the Central Plains, but Yu Liang's Northern Expedition was a period when Shi Le was strong.

Huan Wen clenched his fists in secret. He had always taken Zu Ti and Yu Liang as his role models, and he always thought that one day he would be able to lead the army to the Northern Expedition and leave his own name in Qing history.

Speaking of which, Huan Wen was a bit aggrieved. He wholeheartedly wanted to gain the support of those aristocrats and aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River, but after several years of busy work, there was only a small gain.This time he would come to the Han army, and he came with the idea of ​​making meritorious service, but unfortunately, he was forcibly detained by Liu Yan, and his status and identity became extremely embarrassing if he failed to make a meritorious service.

"It's a good thing that your majesty attaches great importance to grandfather and Yugong." Yuan Qiao lowered his voice and said, "Before, I had such a bad impression on the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River that I can't express it."

Huan Wen smiled wryly, and also lowered his voice: "I don't see much respect, I just talk about the chicken dancing and the title of handsome man."

That's right, Liu Yan didn't talk about the Northern Expedition at all, he just said something unrelated to the war, and he really didn't see any sign of respect.However, that doesn't mean that Liu Yan doesn't respect the efforts of Zu Ti and Yu Liang, but just sighs that some people's efforts are hindered by more people.

The Han army won the battle of Xuzhou, and it is now the moment to reap the fruits of victory.

In such a battle of Xuzhou, the Jin army did not play any important role at all. It only involved the [-] troops of the Shijie Zhao army, which really couldn't give the Han army any reason to respect the Jin army.

"Who doesn't understand this truth?" Yuan Qiao said with a wry smile, "It's because the Han army is too strong, not because the Jin army is too weak. The Han army is too strong. With the strength of a tribe, there are more than [-] armored horses." , and so many sudden cavalry."

"In this decisive battle, strong crossbows and continuous crossbows are more important than cavalry!" Huan Wen was deeply impressed by the Han army's infantry formation: "We... no, the Jin army also has strong crossbows and crossbows. Liannu, but why can't the Jin army be as terrifying as the Han army?"

"Synergy!" Yuan Qiao's face was full of seriousness: "The Han army is preparing for the battle, changing formations during the battle, and there is almost no stagnation or incoordination."

"I'm afraid this kind of infantry is comparable to the iron-blooded army of a strong man?" Huan Wen is a person who is qualified to read history books. People can only back away. They used a chariot formation, but now they are using a shield formation, the tactics are different, but they are equally sharp."

Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao are both sensible people.

The cavalry may not need any military formations, only relying on its short-distance mobility, flexible and changeable options, and it looks like that when driving.

The infantry is different. The rabble and the elite in the infantry show two earth-shattering appearances, which are nothing more than being able to form a formation or not forming a formation.And being able to fight in foot formations can be called an elite. It means that after years of training, they can obey orders and fight according to orders.

Regardless of the era, soldiers are considered elite as long as they can be ordered to stop them. Even if a soldier has the best killing skills, if he does not obey orders, he is just a soldier.Bingyouzi are pests in the army, and their existence is even more harmful. It is the so-called truth that a mouse dropping will spoil a pot of porridge.

The two of them didn't know how many elite infantry there were in the Han army. They only knew one thing, that the strength shown by the Han army after this battle in the Central Plains definitely had a place in the Central Plains.

"It's really..." Huan Wen was a little worried about gains and losses: "It's very difficult for us to go back, and we have already shown our effectiveness, but we don't know Liu Shijun..., no, what will your majesty do?"

The expression on Yuan Qiao's face became even more bitter when he heard it: [What kind of official position is it to join the army?It seems that Yuanzi has not been appointed to an official position? 】

At this time, Liu Yan is already making new deployments, and they will make necessary stops here to deal with the issue of prisoners of war, and it is also a time for the troops to rest.

Seriously speaking, since the Han army sent its troops to the west, the Han army has been in a state of war or directly participating in the war for more than half a year. It would be a lie to say that they did not feel tired after repeated battles.

Yes, the Han army had just won a big victory in the Battle of Xuzhou, which was the moment when morale was the highest, but the mental excitement really couldn't relieve the physical fatigue.In this state, the harm of continuing to fight definitely outweighs the benefits.

"The results here will be spread to Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple." Ji Chang said expressionlessly: "The main force of the Xuzhou Army is wiped out, and it will definitely have a fatal impact on Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple's Shijie Zhao Army. We guess, Xie An will not let go of this great opportunity, he should be able to win Jiangdu in a very short time."

According to intelligence, Xie An has been fighting around Jiangdu for more than a month. His choice is to cut off the passage between the Jiangdu defenders and the Jiangshui Temple first, so that the two Jiangdu key areas separated by less than [-] miles become isolated?
"Xie An's siege took too much time, and his lieutenant Wang Tanzhi was in command of the field." Ji Chang was more interested in Wang Tanzhi than in Xie An: "Because we need to besiege Jiangdu and cut off the road, Wang Tanzhi didn't have many troops at hand. According to the information we know, Wang Tanzhi defeated Shijie's Zhao army six times with a small number of troops."

Since Liu Yan established the Han Department, he has repeatedly fought with the few to defeat the crowd. Only those who have personally experienced similar experiences will know how difficult it is to fight less and more, and how strict the requirements for performance on the battlefield are.

"Wang Tanzhi?" Liu Yan said with full interest, "It's better to come here as well."

At that moment, Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao's complexion alternated between blue and white, and they were automatically "delivering goods to the door". Hearing Liu Yan's words, it seems that the grade is a little lower?
The Han army will not have any major military moves for at least five days. During this period, it is mainly to digest the results of the battle and treat the wounded well.

The local battlefields were all truces as the main battlefield was divided. Eight areas including Lanling, Zengxian, Yanting, Nangben, and Tanxian... were easily captured. The entire Donghai County was mostly lost except for some areas along the coast. In the hands of the Han army, Lanling County itself was fully captured by the Han army.

Donghai County is nearly [-] miles away from the plane map of the Yangtze River, separated by Pengcheng County and Xiapi County. Naturally, Yuzhou, the former Yellow River estuary (the Yellow River was diverted to this side in Tang Dynasty), is also indispensable.

Liu Yan has no intention of attacking Xuzhou at all. He occupied Qingzhou and did not develop it. Occupying another Xuzhou is tantamount to spreading it wider. That would only have disadvantages but not benefits. After all, the bigger the territory, the better, it must be able to form development , has the potential to serve the war, and the inability to develop and the land is too large will only involve more troops wasted in stationing, leading to the dispersion of troops.

"Collect the population, whether you like it or not, move to Qingzhou!" Ji Chang has been planning for this plan for a long time, and it has been settled before entering Xuzhou, and only needs to be slightly adjusted later: "Don't over-stimulate the direction of Pengcheng."

The Xuzhou army of Shijie Zhao State disintegrated, but Pengcheng was the fief of Shi Zun. If there is no mistake, he has a private army in his hand, the number should be [-] to [-]?

The Shijie State of Zhao is not like the regime established by the Chinese civilization. Neither Shi Le nor Shi Hu has stipulated that no one can drive private troops out of their fiefdoms. In other words, if Shi Zun thinks it is necessary, he will send troops to attack the Han army , and there is no need to even ask the center for instructions.

"The transfer of population should be done quickly." Liu Yan was not sure whether Shi Zun would send troops, and every minute and every second would be crucial to them: "Wang Ji and Wang Luan both want to place a bet, so we can use their channels to spy on them. ?"

All shook their heads this time.

The family divides several bets, unless the betting party has the strength or tendency to swallow the world, or separates, it is the master of each, this has become an unspoken rule.

"Your Majesty, maybe it's not appropriate to provoke Shi Zun too much now." Ji Chang frowned: "We... Sun Fudu behind us has already made a big move, and Yao Yizhong... is really..."

It hurts morale to say it out, it's really one war after another, and I really don't know when it will stop.If it wasn't for Liu Yan's insistence on finding trouble with the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting, he should have withdrawn and returned to the north long ago.

……Dividing line……

There is another chapter today, but I haven't saved the manuscript. I don't know when it will be published.
