sweeping the world

Chapter 308: At least a squeak (the number of previous chapters is wrong again)

Shijie State of Zhao, Murong Yan State, and Eastern Jin Dynasty all sent official seals and ribbons to Liu Yan, but that did not mean that Liu Yan became a courtier of the three parties.

Why do you say that?Probably because after receiving the seal, you still need to go there in person or send important people to express your gratitude. Only when the procedures are complete can the vassal relationship be confirmed. If the procedures are not complete, it can only be unilateral wishful thinking. For example, unrequited love is only one party and not both parties.How about Liu Yan throwing a few official seals and ribbons to all parties, so he can be the boss of whoever he wants?
The people Yu Yi scolded angrily were different from Liu Yan.

Murong Hao asked the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting for the prince of King Yan and sent an envoy to Jiankang to thank him, so the relationship between Murong Hao and the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting was confirmed.

In the same way, Yang Yu also accepted and thanked him, so Yu Yi would not be wrong to call him a rebellious minister.

In addition, because the envoys who came to send secret missions represented the kings of all parties, those kings who accepted official positions and thanked the small imperial courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could also be regarded as rebellious ministers.

Dudu Liu Yan never thanked any party, so no matter who it is, they can scold Liu Yan whatever they want, but they can't scold the rebels.

There is nothing complicated about the negotiation process, it is nothing more than confirming their respective theaters first.

Zhang's Liang State and Ran's Qin State are in the northwest of Shijie Zhao State, so they can only start in the northwest of Shijie Zhao State.Because there are a large number of Shijie Zhao troops outside Tongguan and Xiaoguan, Ran's Qin State is responsible for defense.Zhang's Liang State could attack the northwestern counties of Shijie Zhao State, but Murong Yan State opposed Zhang's Liang's army entering the Hetao area.

Murong Yan State is located in the east and north, so it is natural to attack Youzhou when participating in the campaign. Shi Bin led the army to garrison and defend there. There are also powerful Shijie border troops in the direction of Jizhou and Bingzhou. Liu Yan led the army to attack Jizhou's proposal.

"If you capture Youzhou, we will immediately go south to Jizhou, and then we will divide Jizhou equally." Yang Yu said with sincerity on his face, "How about taking the water as the boundary?"

Yishui is actually an ancient river in the western province of Tianchao Mountain. The river starts from Wutai Mountain and ends in Tianjin and enters the sea.

"That means Zhongshan County, Gaoyang County, and the south of Zhangwu County belong to us." Sang Yu knew the map of the north well, and said to Liu Yan in a low voice: "If this is the case, Murong Xianbei seems very sincere. "

Liu Yan was sneering in his heart. In fact, everything he said now was false. No matter how well the territory was divided, it was just a strategy for distant relations and short-term attacks when the territories were not connected.

Murong Xianbei has been preparing to go south to the Central Plains for more than ten years, and their appetite will not be filled by one Youzhou and one third of Jizhou.Liu Yanhui sneered for a good reason. The agreement that seemed to take advantage of the Han was just to lure the Han army to go north.

It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to show it. On the contrary, Hanbu should show a very excited look.

"The begging army and the army of the Di tribe are both outside the pass. Shihu will surely reinforce the pass in the coming year, and Sizhou will be empty at Jieshi." Seeing Liu Yan's interest in Yang Yu's proposal, Jiang Gan was very impatient, so he wanted to be cautious. He smiled slowly and said, "Sizhou is the center of Shijie. Once it is captured, it will destroy Shihu's foundation, and it will be a fatal blow to Shijie."

Whether it is from a military or political point of view, it is always the most reasonable thing to go straight to the enemy's heart, especially now that Yanzhou has been cleared of a large area of ​​no man's land, if the Han army goes straight to Sizhou, it is very likely that they can easily cross the Yellow River However, there are only a few prefectures and counties that may be empty in front of them, and Yanban Pass and Xuanyuan Pass will become a big problem.

Xuanyuan Pass, also known as "Eling Pass", is located between Taishi and Shaoshi mountains, 1 kilometers northwest of Dengfeng City.The cliffs on both sides are jagged with strange rocks, the mountains are majestic and dangerous, and the road twists and turns. It is a dangerous pass in the southeast of Luoyang and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Yanban Pass is actually [-] miles southeast of Xuanyuan Pass. The two passes are separated by Yingshui River, and there is a Chongshan Mountain in the middle. It used to be the double insurance of Luoyang, but now it is anyone who attacks Shijie from the southeast. The stumbling block of the center.

Speaking of these two passes, they used to be the battlefield where the princes raised their troops against Dong Zhuo. As for the Hulao Pass... When Luo Guanzhong was writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he couldn't Baidu at any time. It is impossible to check it at any time, so that most of the terrain inside is unreliable.

Jiang Gan said so much, but he couldn't hide the fact that the Yellow River is a natural moat that is not easy to swim through, and the Yanban Pass and Xuanyuan Pass are not so easy to capture. If the Han army really wants to attack Sizhou, they want to take Xiangguo Or the difficulty of Yecheng will not be generally high.

Since it is impossible to ignore the Yellow River, and it is even more impossible not to care about the Yanban Pass and Xuanyuan Pass, Jiang Gan’s intention to suggest that the Han army advance westward can be said to be clear at a glance. To draw a big picture, the bottom line is to hope that the Han army can force Shijie Zhao Jun gave up attacking Guanzhong.

What kind of attitude does Liu Yan have?He still pretended to be moved, but he didn't make any actual statement.

The location of Qingzhou is very special, there are almost no strong and dangerous passes to hold on to, or any regime that controls Qingzhou, when it encounters a huge army, it will not feel irresistible after comparing it again and again, and surrender without a fight.

Controlling Qingzhou requires a major premise, that is, to have an army capable of conscripting and fighting well. Apart from relying on the army's flesh and blood Great Wall, Qingzhou really has no advantages of its terrain.

Under such a terrain, a little bit of brains should understand a truth, taking the initiative to attack will be the only choice, and being beaten passively will only make the situation worse.

The Han army will take the offensive next, which direction to attack, and what position to hit, but everything must be paid attention to.

"Murong Yan Country can offer some bargaining chips, while Ran's Qin Country will only draw empty cakes." Ji Chang doesn't like Murong Yan Country, but he doesn't necessarily like Ran's Qin Country either.He didn't lower his voice: "Go north to the edge of the Yellow River and go west to Juyeze (Jining), the first stage of the coming year is just right."

Because Ji Chang didn't lower his voice, the people who should hear him could hear it anyway. They recalled the map of mountains and rivers in their minds, and their faces were not so pretty.

From the north of Qingzhou to the Yellow River, the front of the Han army stopped in Leling County, two hundred miles away from Murong Yanguo's hope that the Han army would attack Bohai County. It is even more impossible for Bin to divide his troops for defense.

Juyeze is very far away from Sizhou. If you look at it on the map, the front of the Han army will be as close as four hundred miles to Yecheng. From a political point of view, it is actually very close and poses a real threat, but The threat is not that imminent.

If Liu Yan really wants to achieve this, he will truly own the entire Qingzhou, occupy the entire Xuzhou except Pengcheng, and capture two-thirds of Yanzhou.

The Han tribe that has achieved that level is larger than the Qi State in the Warring States Period in terms of territory. The problem is that the territory is large and there is no population, especially under the premise that Shihu completely drove the population of Yanzhou to Sizhou.

Everyone wants Liu Yan to do things according to their ideas, but no one has any bargaining chips.

Among them, there were people who did not want Liu Yan to expand in any direction. For example, Yu Yi was extremely worried that the Han army would expand towards Yuzhou, which would increase the boundary between the area controlled by the Han and the Eastern Jin dynasty.

It is never a good thing that the border between two different countries is too long. It will increase the guard against each other, and even the friction will continue. In the end, the two countries have to use large-scale wars to resolve their disputes.

Yu Yi couldn't figure out what Liu Yan was thinking. The threat from the Central Plains had not been lifted, so why were the Han tribes so keen on expanding to the south?
"Yuzhou is a populous state, and it is also key to us attracting population migration from the south of the Yangtze River." Sang Yu glanced at Yu Yi with a smile, then looked at Liu Yan again, and said: "This national policy needs to be implemented unswervingly. .”

Determine their respective theaters, and then express their needs. Among them, Ran's Qin State, Zhang's Liang State, and Murong Yan State have already finished what they should say, and the next step is to see the response of the Han Ministry. There is no promise or request.

"Your Majesty?"

More than one person began to call Liu Yan the Great King, which is very interesting. The object of their allegiance is called the King, and the foreign king is called the King.Knowing how to call Liu Yan like that, the answer is ready to come out.

Liu Yan wants to establish a country, and it has reached the stage when it should be established, but it does not mean that he will choose this time.

At present, the war with Shijie Zhao State has not yet reached the most intense time. Jianguo should choose the most dangerous moment to boost the morale of the army and the enthusiasm of the people, or after the crisis is resolved.

The timing and motivation were not up to that time, and Liu Yan would not respond at all when he was called the king.

"My family's king has a word. If the king builds a country, he will definitely support it and be friendly forever." Jiang Gan felt that he had said it very clearly, and his full support meant that he would accept whatever he said. After speaking, he stared at him without blinking. Looking at Liu Yan, all he had to say was: at least give me some feedback.

Xie Ai frowned again. In fact, they didn't accept Liu Yanjianguo's title of Han. Once Liu Yanjianguo became the king of Han, as long as he didn't deny that he was a descendant of the Han family in terms of political status, he would be a head lower.

In fact, apart from Ran's Qin State, no country would be happy to have another Han State in the Central Plains, especially the Han State established by people who were vaguely descendants of the Han Dynasty.

The people in Murong Yanuo were all staring at Liu Yan, they were waiting.

Yu Yi and other people from the south of the Yangtze River also looked at Liu Yan, and they were also waiting.

The matter has reached this step, and it seems that it has entered a critical node. Liu Yan should have a statement, no matter what his attitude is.

……Dividing line……

The real cheating father, my daughter and son kept coughing for some reason, and they would vomit when they coughed. No matter how much they saw a doctor, it didn't help.I really squeezed the time to code.
