Han counter current

Later, Yan Cheng, the vanguard general, took the [-] soldiers from his headquarters as the main force, and summoned [-] coalition troops from small countries such as Shanshan and Qiemo to attack the rear of the Huns who were besieging Shule City and won a big victory.

In this battle, Yan Cheng single-handedly shook the foundation of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions for decades, and also defeated the remnants of the Xiongnu, who had to choose to migrate west again. The country's army surrendered.

After discussing with Yan Cheng, Zhang Liao simply disrupted the arrangement of the surrendered Xianbei and the remnants of the Huns, selected the young and strong to join the army, organized them as servants, and resettled the old and weak on the spot.

As for other small countries in the Western Regions who still have crooked ideas, Zhang Liao is not too polite. Apart from the soldiers and horses guarding the various places, Zhang Liao dispatched Yan Cheng, Chen Dao, Lu Xiao, Wen Meng and other generals, each with thousands of elites from the Zhao Kingdom as their core. With the prisoners and slaves who accompanied the army to the west as the main force, and the gathered western allied forces and servants as the vanguard, they defeated those small countries in the western regions who tried to resist the eastern empire one by one.

The troops from the Eastern Empire relied on their strong combat power, sophisticated equipment, and superiority in military strength to make their opponents miserable.

A part of the Silk Road was completely controlled by the Eastern Empire. The aristocratic families in the country moved after hearing the news, and one by one, they all formed a large number of caravans to go to the Western Regions to seek benefits.

Zhao's army maintained a momentum of constant victory until they encountered the [-]-strong army of the Anxi Empire. The two sides fought seven times. The army of the Eastern Empire had to suspend its progress.

Chapter 870

Almost three years have passed since he ascended the throne, and another new year is coming. In this year, Chen Feng has sent troops to the south and west to fight, and they have made great achievements.

Coupled with the domestic bumper harvest, although the north has reduced production due to the cold climate, thanks to the development of the south, the people of the whole country can still live a surplus year.

And Chen Feng, after several months of discussions with Jia Xu, gradually settled on a plan to pacify the Western Regions.As for the things in the south of Yizhou, he rarely disclosed to the outside world, and no minister asked about the situation of the southern expedition army.

"The hussar general has an audience,,,,,,"

The yell of the Jinwu officer outside the house brought Chen Feng, who was in deep thought, back to reality. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and the courtiers under Chen Feng returned from various places to the court one after another to present their memorials.

"Minister Gongsun Xu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Let's get back together, brother. I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as majestic as ever."

Looking at the majestic Gongsun Xu, Chen Feng showed a smile on his face. In the three years since he became emperor, outsiders thought that Chen Feng had neglected Gongsun's family, but they didn't know that in secret, Gongsun Xu went to Chen Feng Performed many unscrupulous tasks.

"Your Majesty praises me, I am ashamed and dare not take it. Your Majesty, the thousand-year-old ginseng, bear bile, antler and other things I brought from the deep mountains and old forests east of Liaodong this time are not rare treasures, but they are quite rare."

"Come back when you come back, why do you bring so many things, the thousand-year-old ginseng, hehe, I'm afraid you have to go into the old forest where there are few people to find it, brother has a heart.

I already know what my elder brother told you about the snow forest in the east. It is indeed the place I am looking for. It will be my Zhao country's territory in the future. Brother, you have worked hard. "

"No, it's just that I still have doubts in my heart. Your Majesty, those places are covered with ice and snow, and the temperature is extremely low. You can't even grow crops. Only wild beasts and wild men live in the mountains.

Apart from the trees, I really can't find other resources, and I am dull, I don't know why His Majesty values ​​this place.If troops are stationed there, it may be extremely difficult to even transport food and grass. "

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed the case, but many things can't just be seen on the surface, on the ground, there are indeed only ice and snow and endless forests.

But underground, there are resources that our future generations need. I will not mention this matter for the time being. Perhaps, I will not develop there in my lifetime. Let's occupy it first.

Brother, this time I called you back to Beijing because I actually have something to discuss with you. I'm afraid it will be hard for you in the next few years, so please don't refuse. "

What Chen Feng said was very sincere. It seemed that he had some important mission. Moreover, judging by his posture, there were probably only a few people in the world who could complete this mission.

Gongsun Xu showed hesitation on his face. To be honest, he really didn't want to be at the forefront of the storm in the past two years. Outsiders thought his Gongsun family was in full swing.

Don't you see, the current empress is Gongsun Xu's sister, and the crown prince is also his nephew. He himself is not only the uncle of the country, but also a hussar general who holds a heavy army in the dynasty.

Among the various departments of the Northern Army, there are many generals who have a close relationship with him. For example, Zhao Yun, who is known as the White Robe General, Zhang Yan, who guards the border gate outside the Great Wall, and other children of the Gongsun family all hold important positions in the army.

It's too late for outsiders to envy him, but Gongsun Xu himself has a lot of worries. He knows better than anyone that prosperity must decline. Back then, Gongsun Xu almost unified the north, but what happened in the end?Or the family was ruined, such a tragedy, he really didn't want to happen to Gongsun's family again.

"Don't rush to answer, I know what you want to say, this is a plan I made with Wenhe, just take a closer look, it's rare for you and me to get together today, we must talk all night, brother, please sit down,,,,, ,"

Chen Feng had clearly sensed Gongsun Xu's worries, so he was not in a hurry. He just persuaded Gongsun Xu to sit down and drink, and then took out a roll of kraft paper, which was densely written with words and also equipped with patterns.

For nearly half an hour, Gongsun Xu was carefully reading the contents on the kraft paper. His expression changed from relaxed at first to cautious, then serious, and finally shocked.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, warmed the wine on his own, and would fill Gongsun Xu's wine glass from time to time. He knew the content on this kraft paper. In today's world, Gongsun Xu is the third person who knows the content on it.

"Your Majesty, this, you are,,,,,,"

"Why, do you think I'm delusional?"

"No, I don't dare, it's just that this plan is too huge, I dare not think about it."

"Tell me what you think. You are the third person who knows about this plan. In a few days, Zilong, Junyi, and Meng Qi will come back. We need to discuss with them then."

"Your Majesty, have you already made up your mind? However, the plan is so hasty, shouldn't it be slow? I admit that the world is very big, but doesn't it take more time to explore?"

"In a hurry? Hehe, what if I told you that I had already made up my mind when I arrived in the west of Liaoning that year? I didn't say it because the time hadn't come yet, but right now, I think it's almost done."

Chen Feng shook his head and smiled wryly. He knew that the content on the kraft paper was indeed too terrifying. It is only because Gongsun Xu has a good mental quality.

"Although Wen Yuan led an army to attack the Western Regions and flattened the power of the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the Western Regions, this does not mean that the Xiongnu and Xianbei are extinct, and there will be no peace in the Western Regions.

I want you to be the commander in chief, lead the army to the Western Regions, completely cover this place, and become the territory of my Chinese civilization, Wen Yuan will be your deputy, general in the army, you can choose a few more. "

Obviously, Chen Feng's goal is the land in the west, no wonder, his army has already reached there, so why not retreat?

"If you really want to pacify the Western Regions, apart from the army, you must also emigrate. Is Your Majesty planning to emigrate the people so that they can prosper?"

"Yes, I will definitely relocate the people, but before that, I need you to go there to gain a firm foothold, train troops in the fields, subdue foreign races, and prepare for the conquest of Guishuang.

Brother, you and I are still young, and we can fight in the battlefield for at least [-] years. If this plan is successful, future generations will surely benefit endlessly. "

"Your Majesty has great ambitions, and I admire them very much. Since this is the case, then I will be more courageous. If I want to improve my confidence, I feel that I can dispatch Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pound, Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals to the Western Regions. Elite soldiers and horses 20 Ten thousand, Guishuang will be destroyed in World War I."

"Hahaha, I knew that brother's tone is not normal. Let me tell you the truth, don't even think about Zilong and Mengqi, and Junyi is not good either. You can only choose one of Lingming and Gongming, because they There are still responsibilities.”

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Hehe, the old land of the Huns, Dingling in the north, and Jiankun in the northwest, if you don't take it, you will be sorry for God's gift..."

Chapter 871

Slowly, Gongsun Xu accepted Chen Feng's huge plan. Although he was shocked at the beginning, after thinking about it, he was extremely excited again.

Your Majesty will always think of him at the most important moments.Although Jia Xu was the one who made the plan, it was up to him, Gongsun Xu, to implement it. This also proved Chen Feng's trust in him in disguise.

"Brother, I want to give you another [-] soldiers and horses, complete with swords and armor, and I can send you [-] sets of crossbows produced by the camp.

In addition, you can also choose 20 prisoners and [-] slaves. In this way, after you gather the soldiers from Wenyuan, the number of troops will be close to [-], which is not too small.

If you really want to implement this plan, you will encounter many opponents.The total number of enemy troops in the Western Regions is no less than 30, and the standing army of Guishuang Kingdom is no less than [-], and there should be more than [-] elite troops.

For these, you should be prepared in your heart. Of course, as long as you gain a firm foothold there, I will send people to support you in the later stage. Whether it is immigration or recruiting children from good families, I will be your strong support. "

Chen Feng obviously also had some research on this plan. If he wanted to conquer the Western Regions and destroy the Guishuang Empire, he would need to use 50 million troops.

Although there are good generals such as Gongsun Xu and Zhang Liao who can make up for some of the gap in military strength, but no matter how few, 30 horses are still needed.

But now, Chen Feng can dispatch only [-] troops, and the remaining [-] are just an army composed of prisoners and slaves. In terms of combat effectiveness, they may not even be able to match the [-] regular army.
