sweeping the world

Chapter 276
If the Jin army doesn't come, Liu Yan doesn't have to hesitate.

The main force of the Han army was in confrontation with Shi Zun's private army, while the remaining troops were looting other places, with a strong attitude of never giving up until everything they passed was taken.

The Shijie State of Zhao did not attack Wubao and the fortresses and allowed the local tyrants to stand on their own. Later generations will regard this as the foundation of the revival of the Han culture in the Central Plains.These tyrants who built Wubao and walled cities to protect themselves did indeed play a key role in the later revival of Han culture in the Central Plains.

However, most contemporary people would not be grateful, especially those ordinary people who seek asylum in order to survive. They are the lowest-level existence in Wubao and the city. They are the ones who are unlucky in any disaster, and they are definitely the ones who need to die.

There is a premise for Shijie and Zhao Guo to ignore the tyrants who build a stronghold to protect themselves. First, these tyrants do have well-fortified tortoise shells. .In fact, if the people who built a stronghold to protect themselves did not pay taxes, the Hu people would attack, and the people who died were usually Jin people, regardless of offense or defense.

The Han army first showed the sharpness of the bows and crossbows against the Xuzhou army, and later cleared Wubao and the city, and a large number of bed crossbows and catapults appeared, which confirmed the profound strength of the Han army's measuring equipment.

The Han army that swept through most of Xuzhou gained a lot of people and supplies, more war experience, and trained non-main combat troops.

The military operation in Xuzhou ended after ravaging three counties in Xuzhou.In fact, it can’t be called raging. In addition to attacking Wubao, Fortresses and nomadic tribes, most Jin people are still willing to live in the Han area. Generally speaking, the beneficiaries will be more than the victims.

As a large number of troops retreated from the water system to Qingzhou, the confrontation between the main force of the Han army and Shi Zun's private army also came to an end.The confrontation between the two armies did not appear to be intense. Liu Yan did not have enough motivation to fight, and Shi Zun did not want to lose his strength.

The competition among Shi Hu's many descendants was extremely fierce. If Shi Zun's strength was compromised in the battle with the Han army, how could he compete with the rest of his brothers?
Before the main force of the Han army returned to Qingzhou, the Shijie Zhao army in the direction of Jizhou had already started military operations against Qingzhou. It was basically some tentative infiltration, which was small in scale but very frequent.

Before the main force of the Han army turned around, the Han army defending the Zhao army in Shijie basically took a defensive position, which caused Sun Fudu's troops to cross the Yellow River and enter Qi County soon.

The Han army in Qi County has never attacked. The Han army attaches great importance to the defense chain of the Shandong Peninsula. The defense line is set up in Beihai County to defend the rear territory.

In view of the large scale of the war and the fact that the war on the Korean Peninsula has stopped, Lu Tai and other generals were transferred back.

At the same time, a group of generals and troops from Liao Yidong were also transferred back to Qingzhou to participate in the war. Liao Yidong only left the necessary guards to defend the long city wall.

The main force of the Han army returned to Qingzhou by land, and the cavalry served as the leader and the rear. It was not until the cavalry far from the rear of Xuzhou that they made efforts to catch up with the leader, and the cavalry rushed to Pingshou first.

At present, the capital of Beihai County is no longer Pingshou, but Xiami, which has been expanded repeatedly.

In future wars, Pingshou is mainly responsible for flank protection, and can also be used as a base for flank assault, where the cavalry arrangement is appropriate.

Xiami will still serve as the command hub of the war, and it will also be the fortress to hold on to when the situation is the worst. There will be the largest garrison here, and Liu Yan will also complete the command of the battle here.

Duchang is another flank of the entire defense line. As a city relatively close to the coastline, it will also be one of the main supply places for the Han Navy, connecting the Bohai Sea through beach water.Due to the particularity of the geographical location, the infantry stationed here will probably become the main force for the Han army to attack Jizhou from the sea.

It took eight days to return to Xiami City. Liu Yan first learned about the general situation of Qingzhou, and found an opportunity to gather high-level people together.

Still looking for a taller building, setting up a screen to block the wind, and setting up a banquet. Liu Yan looked at his subordinates who had rarely gathered together again. He first raised his glass to invite you to drink, and then he said after putting down the wine cup: "Sun Fu is staying here." The county didn't rush in, so it was obvious that it was waiting for Yao Yizhong's arrival?"

In other words, the year has entered autumn, which is the season for the main killing.Looking out from a high place, the plains are green with yellowing, which means that the grass is withered and the leaves are about to fall.

"The number of Jizhou troops entering Qi County should be between [-] and [-]. These troops are not mobs, but soldiers from Hebei counties and counties." Cai You took a sip of his wine cup and said cautiously: "The number of troops It’s not much, but we can’t take it lightly.”

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it has repeatedly been able to win the battle with a small number of people. In fact, it is the reason for the essence of the army. It is not like the Hu people who always like to gather everything to join the battle.

The army is never simply about numbers. Many times, it is much more difficult to deal with fewer but more capable soldiers than more and more mixed soldiers.Obviously, the Shijie Zhao Army had recovered from the losses, especially the failure of the Xuzhou Army, which sounded the alarm for the command of the Shijie Zhao Army. They no longer came here with good and bad, and planned to fight with elite troops.

"Yao Yizhong's army is also considered streamlined. It only carried [-] Qiang soldiers, and did not call on the miscellaneous Hus to fight with the army." Cai Xian stayed behind and had the most detailed understanding of Shijie's Zhao army's movements: "In their so-called Behind the elite troops is an extremely large number of miscellaneous soldiers."

"The elite are the forerunners, followed by the mob. This is the first time the Hu people have done this after they occupied the Central Plains. It fully shows that the Hu people have begun to look at us squarely and know that we are difficult to deal with." Sang Yu said cheerfully: "In today's world, only It’s obvious that we can make the Hu people so cautious!”

The originally serious atmosphere was relaxed by Sang Yu's words, and everyone raised their glasses and shouted "Damn!", and they all drank to the bottom.

The Jizhou army has entered Qingzhou. Although it is only a former army, whether it is [-] or [-], the scale is not small.

The Qiang troops led by Yao Yizhong had just entered Sizhou, and because more than half of them were cavalry, the marching process was overwhelming.

"Nearly 12 war horses, more than [-] cattle and sheep, can it not be overwhelming?" Liu Yan took a special look at Sang Yu. The information about the Qiang troops was passed down by the Sang family.He looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "We have fought too many miscellaneous soldiers, but we have to compete with the so-called strong army today."

The generals all responded loudly, but in the end they all raised their glasses and shouted "Yin Sheng!" and did it once again.

Those who were finally transferred back to Qingzhou from the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, they observed Pao Ze and his colleagues who had not seen them for a while, and they obviously found a difference in their mental state from before.

how to say?Probably because of the several battles in the Central Plains, the relationship between consecutive victories, and the people who participated in the battle have a kind of self-confidence.

After several big victories, many people have been promoted to a few ranks. Those who should be promoted are also getting higher and higher official positions, but the rest basically stay where they are.

To put it bluntly, Lu Tai and Xu Zheng should be the first generals and schools of the Han to lead the army independently, but now Xu Zheng is an official and general, and Lu Tai, who was exiled on the Korean Peninsula, is still a hairpin and a general.

Just because he made a wrong choice in a certain period of time, Lu Tai deeply felt that the gap between himself and his former colleagues was being widened, and some people who were originally much lower than him were also beginning to equalize and surpass.For a warrior, especially one who wants to make contributions, Lu Tai faced this situation with heartache and self-anger.

This time, it is not only the headquarters of the Han army that marched from the Korean Peninsula to Qingzhou, but also the 1 Goguryeo Army, [-] Baekje Army, and [-] Silla Army. They will be under the command of Lu Tai.

On the Qingzhou side, plus the troops that came later, the Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japanese troops, the number of foreign troops has reached 1.They will all be assigned to Lu Tailai's command, which means that Lu Tai has become a motley army... No, from the understanding of Chinese civilization, the troops on the Korean Peninsula are even inferior to the motley army.

The people of the Central Plains always regard everyone outside the Central Plains as a kind of people who drink blood, and treat anyone who is not from the Central Plains with a sense of superiority.Although the Central Plains has now become the world of the barbarians, the idea that the Central Plains is the center of the world remains unchanged, causing Lu Tai to actually feel a little... how to put it, just sad. What comforted him was that Liu Yan summoned the core high-level At last, he did not forget his existence.

"[-] armored cavalry, [-] assault cavalry, [-] bow cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] elite foot fighters." Ji Chang said some statistics before continuing: "This is our absolute elite."

Liu Yan added: "It's more than that, I can add it later."

Everyone looked at Liu Yan in awe. Up to now, they didn't have any thought about how those elites got here. They only regarded this phenomenon as Liu Yan's "extraordinary talent".

"Our main battle force is the 17." Ji Chang is now in the role of chief executive, not the one who has no guns, but the chief of military affairs, responsible for coordination, mobilization, and distribution of supplies.He paused, and then said: "The number of new conscripts and related troops of all ranks is [-]."

Everyone...including Liu Yan sighed. The total number of main battle troops and miscellaneous troops exceeded 20. Two years ago, the total population of the Han tribe was less than 20.

Liu Yan was in a daze for a while, and asked, "How many people do we have now?"

"This attack on Xuzhou has achieved great results, with a total of more than 130 million people." Tian Shuo was beaming at first, but later he had a bitter face: "The resettlement... is quite troublesome!"

Tens of thousands of people were kidnapped at once, migrating in the flames of war. Whether it was breaking through the robbery or taking the initiative to seek refuge, the level of complexity was not low at all.

There are battles in front and resettlement in the rear. The stall of the Han is a bit big...
