sweeping the world

Chapter 396
Looting whatever is lacking, and robbing what is not lacking, the Hu people have always had the habit of hunting grass valleys, even if the country is rich and accepts the influence of Han culture, it will not change. Perhaps this is the so-called national character.

The Tuobadai country is firstly a country of barbarians, and secondly, they are indeed poor. Robbery is a character and a need for them. The difference is whether they can rob and whether they can win by robbing.

The Youzhou army stationed on the northern border went south, and Bingzhou seemed to be transferred. Liu Yan had reason to believe that Shijie Zhao State must have countermeasures, and Tuoba Daiguo never brought up the topic of whether Shihu had been wooed. There is no talk about how to prevent possible surprise attacks by the Huns after going south.

Even if Shi Hu forgot to win over Tuoba Daiguo on the grassland, didn't the people in the court remind him?There is no possible reason for this.

Murong Xianbei must have taken action, but Tuoba Daiguo didn't mention it.The goodwill expressed by Tuoba Daiguo to Han seems to be due to the existence of Tuobaxiu, and perhaps due to debts, but in this way they are not like barbarians at all.

Maybe Tuoba Xiu is the one who really understands Tuoba Daiguo, she reminds Liu Yan repeatedly that she can't trust anyone in Tuoba Daiguo for a reason!

Tuoba Gu and Xu Qian didn't say anything, and Liu Yan didn't ask. The two parties had agreed to cooperate between the north and the south.

According to the agreement, when the Han army in Jizhou and the Zhao army in Shijie (including the Yan army led by Murongge) fought, it was the time when Tuoba Shiyijian gathered troops in Shengle. Whether Tuoba Daiguo attacked Bingzhou or Youzhou depended on Murong Yan will do something.

Xu Qian mentioned that Han should inform Tuoba Daiguo in time when the decisive battle will be entered. At that time, Liu Yan stared at Xu Qian with strange eyes, which made Xu Qian apologize uncomfortably.

After sending the person away, Liu Yan thought for a long time.He intended to ask Tuoba Xiu about the situation, but then he thought that it had been almost four years since Tuoba Xiu left Tuoba Dai Kingdom. Even if he knew something, it should be backward news. It would be too unreasonable to ask his sister and brother who they were. .

The battle along the Zhangshui River could not be fought for a while. Liu Yan spent three more days on inspection after watching what he needed to see. Yan's Xingyuan continued to move.

Next, Liu Yan should go to Yanzhou. The date and route were naturally kept secret, and the choice was actually random before.

Instead of following the original route, they went through Hejian County and then went south. On the way, they must understand the situation along the way. What they saw with their own eyes and the officials' reports were not very good.

The bad thing is the desolation that can be seen, and the soft resistance of local wealthy families and powerful people.

The so-called soft resistance is not resistance by force, but a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude. They will never tell the truth if they can be deceived, and they will not reveal what they can hide in the population registration.

When the Central Plains fell to the enemy, I don’t know how many Wubao and Fortresses were formed by gathering people. The Hu people would fight these Wubao and Fortresses based on their obedience. Unless they had to fight, they would not fight if they could not collect taxes. The reason It is not cost-effective to receive taxes and attack one by one.

The front line of the Han army is fighting, and there will not be too many surplus troops. Like the Wubao and the Walled City in Qingzhou, they will destroy them one by one if they do not cooperate. Hands-on will lead to all reversed.

At the current stage, we can only choose to ignore those uncooperative big clans and tyrannical powers in the Han territory. Even Ji Chang, who wants to kill the most, can only try Sang Yu's strategy first. .

There are still some smart people, most of whom believe that the Han Kingdom will firmly rule the captured areas, but such people are actually a minority. It can be seen that forming strongholds for a long time to protect themselves is to protect people stupidly.

The battle line in Yanzhou has moved from Dongping County to Jibei County. The battle situation is similar to that in Jizhou, with the two armies facing each other across the river.The difference is that Yanzhou is not like Zhangshui where there is only a confrontation but no fighting at present. The reason is that Jiyin County, Puyang County, and Dongyan County in the west are still the territory of Shijie Zhao State. In this way, Shijie Zhao Jun There are plenty of opportunities to cross the Yellow River from the territory.

There was still no assassination or interception. Liu Yan crossed the Yellow River via Pingyuan County and entered Zhu'a County. When he arrived in Jibei County, Xu Zheng took the generals and important civil officials out of the camp for fifty miles to meet him.

The number of Han troops in Yanzhou is much larger than that in Jizhou. Apart from the large army mobilized by Shihu, the main reason is that Yanzhou needs to interact with Yuzhou.

"Six days ago, our army just repelled the probing attack of the Shijie Zhao army led by Sun Fudu." Xu Zheng said with a relaxed expression when he spoke, "It was only less than half an hour of fighting, and the enemy army He retreated without suffering much damage, and it seems that Sun Fudu lost all his courage when he was defeated by our army several times in a row."

"How do you know that you have lost your courage?" Liu Yan was dissatisfied with Xu Zheng's appearance, and he didn't hide it: "If you are being so frivolous, do you want to change the widow?"

Xu Zheng was stunned and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, General, isn't this... just to make you feel at ease?"

"Is there any pursuit?" Liu Yan knew that Xu Zheng and Lu Tai were two extremes, one was too serious and the other was a little tired. There was no question of trust or distrust, so he asked directly, "How is the situation?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Zheng finally stopped smiling, his face full of solemnity: "Under the pursuit, we encountered reinforcements from the enemy, but our army once again beheaded more than [-] enemy troops and retreated after defeating them. .”

Liu Yan didn't need to ask any more questions, Xu Zheng quickly introduced the details.

This is not the first time that Yanzhou and Jibei County's front line has encountered an attempted attack from Shijie Zhao's army, especially after Shi Xuan arrived in Dunqiu County as the commander of Shijie's Zhao army, the Shijie Zhao army in the direction of Juancheng immediately entered mad dog mode , only because of the rainy season in autumn is the cessation,
No, not long after the rainy season passed, Sun Fudu led his army to attack again. The attack six days ago was only the first time. The spies reported that the Zhao army in Shijie, Juancheng, would be preparing for war again. It is estimated that Will be back soon.

"Have you ever considered that the enemy army is using tricks to make us accumulate small victories and become arrogant?" After entering the large army camp, Liu Yan came to Xu Zheng's general's tent, of course he was sitting in the main seat, first asked a question, and then Flipping through the documents on the case table, he turned his head to look at the military action map hanging on the side: "Before Huan Wen entered Dongping County to build a defense line between Hanting and Fan County, didn't the Zhao army in Shijie know about it?"

"Your Majesty is very right." Xu Zheng nodded his head: "The general has thought about it in detail, and has made arrangements, and the memorial to you is just about to be issued." Box: "It's right there."

Liu Yan picked it up and took apart the beeswax, looked at it roughly, and asked Xu Zheng strangely: "It's just a plan, what did you come up with, or was it Shi Yuanqiao, the commander of the army?"

Yuan Qiao was there, and after being called, he saluted Liu Yan first, and then turned to Xu Zheng.He will act like this because he pays attention to the superiority and inferiority.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Zhengyi was stunned, and smiled at Liu Yan embarrassedly, before urging Yuan Qiao: "Chang Shi personally told Wang Shang about the strategy that Chang Shi wanted."

Only then did Yuan Qiao stand up, walked to Yutu, pointed to Juancheng and said, "The enemy army was stationed here before, and this was the capital of Puyang County a long time ago..."

When talking about military affairs, we must first talk about terrain. Without understanding the terrain, it is impossible to talk about it.

Puyang County was originally a feudal state before the Jin Dynasty went south, and it was changed to a county during the Shile period, which is consistent with the appearance of the Hu people ruling the country, that is, it seems random to change the government office. As the capital, it is changed again and again. After passing through Puyang City, Linqiu, and finally the current Juancheng.

Compared with other mountainous counties, Puyang County has a relatively flat terrain. There are only two river systems in the county. Apart from Puyang, it is Yanjin. The entire county is in the shape of a melon.

"Linqiu is now the frontier city of the enemy army. After Sun Fudu took over the military affairs of Puyang County, he has reinforced it. The general attacked the city of Linqiu last time and found that Sun Fudu was still working hard to repair the city. If he wants to attack Maybe it will take a lot of effort." Yuan Qiao's fingers stopped on the Linqiu area marked on the map, and moved westward along the line to Juancheng: "Linqiu and Juancheng are one in front of one and the other behind. It conforms to the shape of the corner, and can echo back and forth."

Liu Yan found that Yuan Qiao paid great attention to the terrain in his explanations, and introduced the enemy's garrison situation and fortifications in more detail. Moreover, he had a clearer understanding of the roads. He was a very good history of the march.

"In view of the fact that the enemy may be arrogantly pampering our army, and considering that Shi Xuan's headquarters will cross the river and come to the south bank after the Yellow River freezes, in fact, the minister and the general have the same opinion." Yuan Qiao moved the point pointed to Puyang, First, it introduces the terrain here, and then talks about the large-scale wars in Puyang in history. It is necessary to mention the battle of Puyang when Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu.He spoke in great detail, so that Liu Yan could understand the importance of this place better while listening to it with gusto, and finally said: "So I suggest to the general, why not take Puyang as a plan."

In history, it took Cao Cao nearly two years to fight Lu Bu, and he used all kinds of strategies in the back and forth.

"Are there any local rich and powerful people from Puyang County who are sending people here?" Liu Yan was dumbfounded for a moment: "Is Sun Fu going to copy the old battle rules exactly?"

It is Liu Yan who has this kind of mentality. It is because he does not know that these days, whether it is military books or history books, it is not a bad street. Having a military book can be regarded as a treasure, and history books are not just for anyone to read.

Yuan Qiao didn't understand why Liu Yan had such an expression, and thought there was something wrong with his strategy, so he had to ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you think it's not feasible?"
