The heavy rain made the Northern Expedition of Jin aborted, which made Wang Dun's punch feel like hitting cotton.

Even Wang Dun, who never believed in fate, doubted for the first time whether there is really a so-called destiny in the world.

If even people like Wang Dun start to waver, then the reactions of other people can already be deduced.

When the Jin Kingdom was fighting against flooding, You Hongyin was not idle on his side. The Jin Kingdom had a Yangtze River to manage, and You Hongyin also had a Yellow River to manage on his site. The Yangtze River is much higher.

However, what troubled Zhou Guojun and ministers was that there are many places in the Yellow River, which are not the territory of Zhou State. If you want to control the Yellow River, you must truly unify the north. Tidy it up all the way to the end.

Therefore, Yongzhou and Qinzhou, the two Hu tribe territories, began to be missed by You Hongyin.

If there hadn't been this flood, he wouldn't have taken action to deal with Zhuhu when the Jin Dynasty was staring at him like a tiger.

Yellow River Basin.

"Is Guo Xi crazy?" Shi Le stood in the big tent and was furious.

He was also unlucky to say the least.

First, his own army was instigated by Lu Yun, so he had to take three thousand cavalry to defect to Liu Yuan.Who knows, although Liu Yuan valued him and appointed him a high position, but the promise has not been fulfilled, and before his army divided him, Liu Yuan himself became seriously ill, and then there was a series of struggles for power and position in the Han Dynasty.

Shi Le was not only cruel and cunning, but also saw the situation very clearly, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​making a comeback in the Han Dynasty, and immediately brought his tribe to Qinzhou and Yongzhou, where there are many Hu tribes.

Although the land of Qinzhou and Yongzhou has always been controlled by the Hu people, it does not mean that there are few Han people. However, the Han people in these two states have lived with those Hu people for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to the living environment of war. They don't really count on the imperial court and the like. They have always built Ubud by themselves, gathered together, and relied on collective strength to survive in this world.

Moreover, these two prefectures are actually desolate lands, and there is no good harvest in the fields. Everyone barely maintains food and clothing. The weather has always been very bad and life is difficult.Even because there is not a lot of vegetation covering the surface, it cannot be used as a pasture. Except for the large cities formed in a small number of areas, which are occupied by barbarians, other places are not the focus of attention, and no one will easily search for such a poor even house Can't afford a place to live.

As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of green mountains and bad waters, so Shi Le finally took his cronies and planned to establish a foothold in Qinzhou and Yongzhou. Moreover, Shi Le also had a secret that he didn't say.

He understood that if he was still the same as in the past, it would not work to gather a large number of soldiers, form an army, and then plunder everywhere.

Whether you look at it from the history books or look at the few powerful emperors and vassals today, they all occupy a piece of land, let the farmers farm, collect taxes by themselves, build city walls, and cultivate their lives.It seems that only with a fixed territory, a place where taxes can be collected, a place where people can be drawn, and a strong logistics support can the hearts of soldiers and generals be stabilized, and can they truly seize the supreme power in this troubled world.

Now that there are too few lands without owners, he can't head-on with the Zhou and Jin dynasties. The final goal is to choose remote areas such as Qinzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, who are also from the grassland tribes.

So Shi Le took 2 cavalry under his command, and pulled up an army of nearly [-] people. First, he annexed the weakest Qifu Xianbei tribe. Territory.

Compared with those barbarians from the two states who are fighting with each other and domineering most of the time, Shi Le, who has been fighting in all directions, has much more experience in war, so even the powerful Lu Shuihu, He was finally defeated, put away his claws stretching towards Yongzhou, and obediently withdrew to his base camp, Liangzhou.

Now in the land of Yongzhou and Qinzhou, the only ones who can really talk are the Yang family of the Qiang nationality and the Shile family of the Jie nationality.

Shi Le settled down, and even asked some Jie tribes in his hometown of Bingzhou to move out of their homeland and come here to develop. Compete for the capital of the world.

As a result, before Shi Le had established a good relationship with the leading Qiang people, Zhou's army came under pressure.

Faced with such a master of all battles, Shi Le and Yang had to let go of their prejudices and join forces. No one wanted their territory to be taken away by others.

The reason why Shi Le said that Guo Xi was crazy was because of the timing the opponent chose to attack.

Even the Jin Dynasty gave up the original military plan of the Northern Expedition because of the rain, but Zhou Guo did the opposite. It was obviously such a bad weather, but it was going to start a war. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble? Undoubtedly defeated?

But Shi Le always felt that the other party might have some trump cards, so he blurted out words of surprise.

Of course You Hongyin was not crazy, the reason why he chose to carry out military operations in this kind of weather naturally had his own considerations.

First of all, this operation is said to be a large army, but in fact there are not many people.It didn't take long for Shi Le to make a comeback, and the food and salaries in his hands were not enough to support many soldiers, so You Hongyin estimated that the maximum number of people he could support was [-].

Among the 6000, there are [-] cavalry who are very expensive and food-consuming, plus the civilian husbands in charge of logistics, etc., there are only [-] people with combat effectiveness.

Therefore, You Hongyin did not need too many troops.

Secondly, at this time, the inability to march in ancient times was mostly due to the transportation of luggage, which was not a problem for them.First of all, the roads under the Zhou State were mostly paved with cement, and the rainy weather had no major impact except for a little humidity. However, outside the Zhou State, this kind of east-west luggage transportation can be carried out by water.

In the end, fighting in the rain is quite hard for the generals. Basically, it is necessary to march in the rain, but You Hongyin's logistics, treatment, etc. are all top-notch in the world, and the natural requirements are also top-notch in the world. The army's daily training, etc. etc. are able to support the army to fight in such a harsh environment.

To sum up, it was a crazy move for Shi Le, but for Zhou Guo, it was just an inevitable move to get the two states into his pocket as soon as possible.

And this time it was not Wang Mi, Cao Yi and other generals who led the army, but the very young Chen Fengyi.Because it was not the regular army of Zhou that attacked Yongzhou and Qinzhou this time, but the former Guo's private army, and now it has become the emperor's pro-army of the Hulin Army.

Chen Fengyi is the grandson of You Hongyin's teacher Chen Kan, who was sent to Qingzhou by Chen Kan three years ago.Originally, I just wanted to study in Qingzhou College for a few years, but I didn't really think that Qingzhou College was better than my family, but to express an attitude.Otherwise, You Hongyin could not have made up his mind to marry Chen so easily, even if Chen Kan was his teacher.

But Chen Kan never expected that his handsome and intelligent grandson would be directly pulled out of the academy by You Hongyin and accepted as his disciple.

The first requirement for You Hongyin to accept an apprentice is talent, and this requirement will not be changed by any other conditions.Chen Fengyi's background in the Chen family was originally deducted from You Hongyin's side. This person will be a descendant in the future, and You Hongyin actually does not want to make the descendant too strong.

But Chen Fengyi's talent is indeed excellent, and her temperament is also very good. Among You Hongyin's disciples, perhaps only Huo Qingjun can compare.

So You Hongyin made an exception and accepted it.

Then, an outstanding disciple of the Chen family who was famous for his strategy and vertical and horizontal skills was taught by You Hongyin to become a general who led the battle.

Moreover, Cai was appointed by You Hongyin as the commander in charge of the battle against Yongzhou and Qinzhou.

If Hu Gui, the emperor's guard commander, was not appointed in the end, he could be regarded as the deputy commander of the emperor's pro-army. I am afraid that it is impossible for everyone in the court to agree.

Even Chen herself disagreed.

Chen Kan rushed directly to the apprentice.He taught his apprentice for several years, but in the end, his apprentice taught his grandson to look like this. How could Mr. Chen not be angry.

But Chen Kan couldn't hold back his grandson's willingness after all, and finally went home angrily.

In fact, it is not a bad thing for Wen Chen to lead the army. Chen Kan is so angry because his grandson has changed from a gentle boy to a master who can beat ten people with his bare hands, and his grandson is still very proud of it. He completely forgot about the 15-year training of the Chen family, and only thought of him as the master who was the monarch of a country.

But what surprised everyone was that under such a harsh environment and with such a small number of troops, Chen Fengyi captured half of the city in Yongzhou with an unimaginable speed and countless tactics that people had never heard of.

Chen Fengyi's strategy only lies in one word: strange.

Generally speaking, the art of war pays attention to the complementarity of the right and the odd. If you only use odd characters, it will be a bit of a failure. If someone deliberately targets the style of the coach in the future, it is very likely that they will deliberately set up traps or the like.

However, Chen Fengyi's strangeness is beyond anyone's guess. It has the deep imprint of Chen's vertical and horizontal skills, and this is one of the main reasons why You Hongyin made an exception to Chen Fengyi.

Just for the battle to seize the city, he has come up with countless methods.

For example, from the waterway.Wei City in Yongzhou had already been blocked due to the rain, so no consideration was given to city defense at all. Unexpectedly, Chen Fengyi personally led [-] soldiers, used special swim bladders, sneaked in from the waterway, and opened the city gate.

Such as fraudulent surrender.Of course, it wasn't him who surrendered, but the recovered local forces entered the city, and then opened the door by surrendering.

Such as airborne.This is not purely relying on tactics, but also requires the executor to be capable enough to feign an attack, while he shoots the guards and sentries with back arrows, and then directly enters the city with the help of hook claws and wall climbing shoes.

In the end, when attacking the city that Shi Le was firmly defending, everyone no longer questioned Chen Fengyi's ability. Instead, everyone began to look forward to what kind of means Chen Fengyi would use.

And Shi Le, a cunning Jie man, has managed the city like a fortress without any gaps. There are also a lot of supplies and defensive equipment in the city, and the number of troops in the city is also enough to guard the four walls without any flaws. .

Although Shi Le had already made sufficient preparations, he still had some uneasiness in his heart.He is not afraid of any powerful and cruel opponents, but he doesn't like to face enemies that he doesn't understand at all and can't guess the opponent's thoughts.

Chen Fengyi is such an enemy.

Because of Chen Fengyi's record, it was clear that the troops in his hands were not enough to siege the city, but Shi Le still chose not to shrink back, which also made Chen Fengyi a little helpless.

Since Shi Le chose this city as the last fortress, it is naturally because it is perfect enough. The city wall built for many years is so thick that it is hopeless. If there is a mistake, the people in the city can immediately counterattack and leave the enemy behind.There is an inner lake in the city, and the water source is sufficient, so neither fire attack nor water source attack is established.There is a flat river around the city, and there is no terrain that can be borrowed.

However, this city is also on the bank of the Yellow River. If Chen Fengyi is ruthless, there are ways, such as digging up the Yellow River embankment, etc., but this place is the territory of His Majesty in the end. Originally, he wanted to accept Yongzhou and Qinzhou in a hurry. In order to control the flood of the Yellow River, if it is done in this way, it will violate the original purpose.So Chen Fengyi ruled out this method.

In the face of such tough bones, it seems that there is no other way except for a hard attack.

In desperation, Chen Fengyi used her trump card.

He has a weapon that is still top secret in the army.

Ground-type explosion/breaking/bombing.

Although I don't know why this thing has such a strange name, it is enough for Chen Fengyi to know how to use it.

After studying with Master for three years, Chen Fengyi has been understanding a way of warfare, no, it should be said that she has always accepted a concept of warfare.

Maximize victory with minimal casualties.

This principle seems very simple, and it should be the principle of every leader, but in fact, it is really difficult to really achieve this.

As a commander, the most important thing is victory, and sacrifice is the second thing to consider. Even in this age when human life is not worth much, sometimes 'baggage', 'reputation', 'political factors' and other reasons may become their trade-offs Casualty conditions.

And the war concept Chen Fengyi learned was to jump out of a small battlefield, focus on the overall macro situation, and then use the smallest cost, regardless of any means, to completely submerge the enemy like a pervasive stream of water.

At the same time, Chen Fengyi also studied Zhou Guo's military industry from beginning to end. There are many new tools and equipment in it, and many amazing weapons, which make Chen Fengyi want to move.

Compared with Wang Mi and Cao Yi, who had good natural talents and gradually grew up and found out in practice, Chen Fengyi and You Hongyin personally developed them through simulated battles.

Why is the young man so bloated that he directly took over the emperor's army without even going to the battlefield?That's because he's been abused every day, and after three years of abuse like this, you'll be overwhelmed with self-confidence, feeling that those people outside...

It's all rubbish!

In fact, it wasn't that Chen Fengyi was too conceited, but that he knew both himself and the enemy very well. Sure enough, since the beginning of the war, there was no city that he couldn't defeat, or level that he couldn't overcome.

However, Chen Fengyi was not annoyed at the wretchedness of the other party when she encountered a hard-to-eat turtle, nor did she become angry because her victory record was broken, but she was amazed.

Before he left, his master once said that he would inevitably encounter a difficult city, and at this time, he could use special weapons.

It is this kind of ground explosion/breaking/bombing.

Chen Fengyi has seen its power before, no matter what kind of stone, no matter how strong it once boasted, it will be shattered when encountering this weapon.

The first time I heard that bang, the people who were experimenting in the deep mountain at that time thought it was a thunder punishment from the gods, including him, a poor and unruly little man who had never been taught how terrible the master was because he had just arrived, so everyone immediately fell to the ground. on the ground.

Later, the experiment came to nothing, and no one knew what was going on. Only he, a student, was fortunate enough to be able to understand the specific function and basic principles of this thing.

Now, he will use this weapon on the actual battlefield for the first time. If he can succeed today, then attacking cities and lands in the future will become as simple as drinking water and eating food for Zhou Guo.

Then one night when dawn broke, a few soldiers took advantage of the thin fog and when the soldiers at the top of the wall were about to relax, they buried several ground-type explosives/demolition/bombs in the corner of the city wall.

Then the fuze was ignited, and several soldiers left quickly.

With a loud bang, everyone woke up from their stupor, and then several consecutive explosions that shook the ground like thunder, made a hole in the thick city wall.

It completely shocked everyone.

What Chen Fengyi didn't expect was that even her subordinates should not be frightened. Some people started kneeling on the ground and chanting about the gods they enshrined.

When Chen Fengyi saw that the situation was not good, she simply pulled up the banner of the slogan of the gods bless the Great Zhou, and quickly assembled the team. With the somewhat terrifying troops who had become stronger in momentum and military spirit, they were ready to rush into the city through the gap and take advantage of the chaos. this city.

Originally, Chen Fengyi thought that it took some time for her to organize the army, and she must have missed the best period, and she was afraid that she would need to spend more effort. Who knows, those people in the city are more afraid than her side.

Even many soldiers who were recruited by Shi Le began to defect again.The people in the city even gathered together, and the locals among the soldiers were dragged back by their families, and the soldiers who were not locals were also said to offend the gods on the left and the Bodhisattva on the right. Later, it was said that Shi Le was killing bloodthirsty indiscriminately, and the wall was split open by the Buddha's supernatural power.

All in all, you can't follow Shi Le to die.

Then the gates of the city were opened by the assembled people.

Originally, Shi Le saw the situation was not good and wanted to leave again. This time he didn't even want his own soldiers. For him, if he survived, he would have a chance and hope. here.

Who knew that the soldiers of the same clan, who were originally loyal to him, would at the last moment, in order to survive, take his head as a gift of surrender.

So far, the entire territory of Yongzhou has been captured across the board.

Subsequently, relevant officials and garrisons of Zhou State also began to take over Yongzhou.

The most important thing to take over this state is to control the floods of the Yellow River. This is a very expensive siege, but You Hongyin's request is that no matter how much the cost is, the request is to be in place in one step, and no floods will occur every year. Natural disasters such as dikes.

It should be said that fortunately You Hongyin has cement in his hands. The combination of sand, stone and cement has greatly reduced labor costs and saved a lot of money and food. The effect is better than the original dam built with soil and sand. a lot of.

In fact, part of the reason for the turbidity of the Yellow River is that Yongzhou in the upper reaches was occupied by the grassland tribes. These tribes did not like to cultivate according to the local rules. It was felled for burning or used as materials for building cities and defense equipment, etc., which caused the water of the Yellow River to develop towards later generations and become a little turbid.

When Chen Fengyi drove the Qiang Yang family back to the grassland, and completely expelled the Lu Shuihu people back to Liangzhou, Qinzhou also took it down, conquering two states with one person. This credit made Chen Fengyi, a young general, famous all over the world.

At this time, the rainy season is also over, the flood is slowly receding, and the crops that have been killed by the rain begin to be replanted, and everything seems to be calming down.

Zhou Guo's political team has always been operating efficiently, and the demand for talents has suddenly increased. Fortunately, You Hongyin has always had the foresight. From the very beginning, he assigned the most important disciples to be responsible for the establishment of the academy. Today, Qingzhou Academy has officially It was renamed Dazhou Royal Academy, and branches were established in every state, but to commemorate, the main academy was not located in Luoyang, but in Qingzhou.

For so many years, the academy has been sending a large number of talents to the imperial court. At least there is no shortage of low-level officials who do practical things. Some of them are from the Han clan, but they have their own opportunities. If the time is powerful enough, they will have opportunities in the future Officially entered the power center of Dazhou.

As expected, most of the exceptionally outstanding students in the academy are from noble clans. balance.

Therefore, You Hongyin didn't care about the origins of these people, and treated them fairly.

In fact, among the particularly outstanding students, there are also people from poor families, but after observation, You Hongyin feels that these people are not suitable for high positions, which also makes You Hongyin very headache.

Because of this situation, You Hongyin soon put the matter of enacting the code on the agenda.The people of the family are dissatisfied with You Hongyin's "talent-based promotion", so they attribute "morality" to the law, and after formulating a detailed code, carefully determine the performance, character, behavior, etc. in the assessment, as officials promote and descend one of the judging criteria.

After this method came out, the members of the aristocratic family had nothing to say, but some people wanted to say that it was too harsh and unfair to the officials, but in the end, they were defeated by You Hongyin and the important officials in the court. Come down.

In fact, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not strict, and officials were treated very generously. Although You Hongyin did not believe in such things as "a high salary to support honesty", he understood that corruption would be worse if the court was stingy.

It's no wonder that You Hongyin did these things when the Great Zhou was not completely stable. Some things have just begun to be settled, and it will be good to form a routine later. If you want to truly calm the world, you can do these things, or leave it to the next generation. It would be very tiring for an emperor to do something like that.So You Hongyin simply did it in one step.

Dazhou became more prosperous amidst the busyness. Even Yongzhou and Qinzhou, which had just been taken over, gradually glowed with different vitality. Ordinary people can feel it. Understand what is a good day and what is a bad day.

At a time when the Northland is becoming more and more harmonious, the Jin Dynasty, which was supposed to regroup and carry out the Northern Expedition after the floods ended, did nothing.

Finally, Hongyan was the first to send the information.

The plague appeared.
