Chapter 312

If the "world" is used as a chessboard, then all countries and forces occupy some territory on the chessboard, manipulate their own chess pieces one after another, or prepare for the next first hand, perhaps waiting for a counterattack.

The state of Zhao in Shijie is still a behemoth. Shi Hu holds the most territory and population. They occupy the central position of the chessboard.

To the West and northwest of the chessboard are the state of Ran Qin and the state of Zhang Liang. Not many people in the state of Ran Qin really regard it as a country, but the state of Zhang Liang is an old force.

The Xiongnu tribes still occupy the Heshuo area. The Tuoba kingdom is next to the Xiongnu tribes, and the Tuoba Kingdom has just been taught a lesson by the Murong Yan state in the Northeast 1 direction.

In the East and Southeast, the Han Dynasty occupied Qingzhou and Xuzhou. If we carefully judge the situation, the popularity of the Han Dynasty in the past two years is not small, because the rise time is too short, it may not be paid much attention. Shijie Zhao regarded it as a big army, and it will disappear as soon as it arrives. The rest, such as Murong Yan state and the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, looked like that before, or did they really pay attention to the strength of the Han Army after going to see it in person.

The small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which has the name of zhengshuo, is located in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, they are not underestimated by the state of Zhao in Shijie. They should be regarded as strong enemies. After all, the number of battles between Shijie Zhao army and the Jin army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not small. Although the Jin army has been defeated repeatedly, the small ~ Dynasty ~ court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has survived and can cross the river many times.

Shijie Zhao is a fierce tiger, but wolves peep around. Shi Hu has suffered a series of disadvantages. It's strange that he doesn't get angry with his hot personality.

For Shi Hu, the local rebellion is nothing. At the beginning, Shijie independent country was faced with more than local rebellion and riots. Later, it launched a "national autonomy", which made Shijie Zhao a country in name, but in fact it was a variant version of tribal and tribal alliance.

To paraphrase an old saying, it is called "time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle". When all parties are busy, winter passes quickly. When the first spring breeze blows the earth and the green buds of grass break through the earth, the "world" becomes restless again with the rise of temperature.

"According to the Scout investigation, zhu'a county and Dongping county have successively found the enemy's tracks." Holding a small and long stick in his hand, Ji Chang lit a mountain map: "it can be confirmed that the enemy in zhu'a county is a Qiang army, and the enemy in Dongping county is a multi-ethnic coalition."

Qiang army? Then Yao Yizhong finally came!

In fact, the Qiang army stopped in Qinghe County, Pingyuan county and Yangping County on the other side of the Yellow River. It can be seen that the Qiang army is mainly composed of cavalry, which is mostly in plain terrain. However, the Qiang army brings a large number of livestock and horses. Of course, they can't all gather in one place. What they need is to be widely distributed so that they can collect enough forage for livestock and horses. In addition, the cavalry has never been a group March.

"The exact quantity can't be found out for the time being. It should be about 200000?" Sang Yu touched his chin and said, "Yao Yizhong is a big leader of the Qiang nationality. Won't he just bring such a few hands?"

At present, the Qiang nationality is a huge ethnic group. In fact, their number in the East exceeds that of the Han and Miao ethnic groups, and they become the first at present, which is divided into Qiang and cooked Qiang. Qiang people generally live in the northwest and the plateau, including the basins around the plateau. The mature Qiang basically entered the Central Plains, leaving only a part of Guanzhong and northwest as the leading group of the living Qiang.

The truth is that the Qiang nationality has never been a unified collective, or even a nation. They are only widely distributed and scattered, but they have similar living habits. Their language and even their beliefs and culture have never been unified.

As the new commander of the Qiang nationality, Yao Yizhong can not drive all Qiang people, just as Shi Hu, although the ruler of the state of Zhao in Shijie, can not command all Qiang people.

"We estimate that 200000 will not be the limit of Yao Yizhong's strength, and the final number will not be less than 400000." Sang Yu didn't want to frighten anyone at all. The source of troops of the Hu people has always been complex. Generally, he took his own nationality as the main body and wantonly gathered miscellaneous Hu as cannon fodder: "intelligence shows that the Qiang people are indeed wantonly gathering people on the North Bank of the Yellow River. As long as they have enough food, it won't be surprising to gather 500000 troops."

"It's just that there are more people and the combat power... Ha ha." Liu Yan has long been used to hearing that the Hu people will have hundreds of thousands of troops, but he really can fight. I don't know if he has accounted for 30% of them: "Yao Yizhong is eager to beat us early so that he can go back to the northwest to repel Zhang's cool Army?"

The northwest is the basic base of the Qiang nationality, which is almost well known all over the world. There are only about 20000 Zhang's Liang army raging in the northwest. Shi Hu asked Yao Yizhong to assemble the Qiang army to fight in Qingzhou. It is estimated that there is something worth studying.

Guanzhong is the basic base of the di nationality. Ran Minjun easily captured Guanzhong. Although Shi Hu is furious now, the loss of Guanzhong only makes the territory of Shijie Zhao missing. In fact, it is Fu Hong and other Di people who seriously hurt their vitality.

Qiang and di are two big thugs under the command of Jie nationality. The number of Qiang nationality is large, and di nationality is sincere and United. In recent years, the number of Jie nationality has increased, but a situation of putting the cart before the horse is also taking shape. Who can be sure that Shi Hu did not deliberately cause the current situation? The Qiang and di ethnic groups have been hit hard.

"Is there anything you can do?" Liu Yan is talking about separation. He said: "the world is in chaos, and Shijie's strength has not lost much. It must be seen by Yao Yizhong or Fu Hong."

"The Qiang people may be able to operate, but Fu Hong is difficult." Ji Chang clearly said, "since King Qin has occupied Guanzhong, it is impossible to let him out again. What Fu Hong wants is to occupy Guanzhong again."

Liu Yancai had no spare time to manage the state of Ran's Qin. After all, ran min had Tongguan, Xiaoguan and lantianguan as barriers. Li Chenghan in the South didn't make trouble, and Zhang Liangguo in the West didn't break the covenant. Ran min's small life would be harder, but he was generally carefree.

In an age when everyone wanted others to block the gun for themselves, the state of Ran Qin wanted the Lahan department as a shield. Liu Yan and others thought that the ran Qin parliament with the risk of three passes was a good shield?

The reality is that Liu Yan himself finds it difficult to swallow the Central Plains, and Murong Xianbei is going south soon, so the current expansion is just preparing for the layout in the future.

Maybe, just maybe... When several forces attack Shijie, Zhao Guo will really destroy Shijie, but next does not mean that peace will come. It is estimated that it will be an unprecedented war with a more complex situation.

In the face of the separatist regime, Liu Yan thought that it would not be a bad thing to have more Chinese and Miao ethnic forces. After all, it would be relatively convenient for the same ethnic group to communicate, and then it would be to form a real "Three Kings alliance". It would be the best choice to drive out foreign forces from the Central Plains first and then a gentleman's war.

"The Yellow River and other water systems have been thawed. After the complete thawing, ships can drive into the Yellow River." Liu Yan stared at the direction of Dongping county and asked, "what's the specific situation there?"

"It is reported that the main general of Shijie Zhao Jun in Dongping county is Ma Qiu." Sang Yu briefly introduced Ma Qiu's information, followed by the introduction of troops: "at present, there should be about 60000 troops. The number of Capricorn people this time is far more than any time before, there should be about 30000."

Ma Qiu is a famous general of the Capricorn family, but this famous general has a lot of water. His life course can be briefly summarized by repeated battles and defeats. So far, the worst defeat occurred in the war between the state of Zhao in Shijie and the state of Murong Yan a few years ago. Ma Qiu led tens of thousands of troops to be ambushed by Murong Ke. Only thousands of Ma Qiu led tens of thousands of people were able to escape, and the rest were killed.

"Capricorn is fierce and fierce. You need to be careful." Sang Yu didn't remind him for no reason. He said, "Shi Hu cherishes his people. He rarely mobilizes Jie people in several wars and loses them several times. Ma Qiu brought 30000 this time, which shows Shi Hu's attitude."

It is said that the state of Zhao in Shijie must be carefully prepared, so this war should not be as easy as before.

Liu Yan did not underestimate the Capricorn people. For any ethnic group in the Central Plains, the Capricorn people who like to eat people are synonymous with cruelty. Many ethnic groups encounter the Capricorn people's mentality of being soft before war. The Han Army has not really fought with the Capricorn people, so it is difficult to judge what will happen.

According to some popular explanations, the Jie nationality is a race with its own special bonus aura. The miscellaneous Hu is naturally afraid and obedient. Other ethnic groups also think the Jie nationality is very strong and powerful. Most people in the Han Army have been brutally ruled by the Jie nationality. It is really difficult to say whether they have a sense of fear in their heart.

In the face of fear, either overcome fear and become stronger, or be overwhelmed by fear and become weak. Liu Yan knows this very well.

"There will be several rainy seasons after the beginning of spring, with intervals between them." Sang Yu thought about it and said, "we have been infiltrating the surrounding areas all winter. Moreover, JunShang's troops are located in the prominent part. The emergence of the two enemy forces will not be accidental."

Ji Chang nodded and said, "Yao Yizhong is located on the North Bank of the Yellow River. If the Yellow River is completely frozen, it will be suitable for swimming. When it is full of ice residue, it will not be able to cross the river."

Liu Yan listened in detail. He nodded: "then the interval between rainy seasons is fighters."

The total number of Han troops in Liu Yan's camp is 28000. In fact, only 12000 can be regarded as the main force, and the rest is the level of auxiliary soldiers.

There are 55000 Han troops in Taishan County, including 13000 mercenaries coming to 1 Xian peninsula. There are hiding tracks in front of this army. With Liu Yan's moving forward, the need to lose hiding has been mostly exposed.

"Since Ma Qiu moved his troops to Dongping County, he must have the desire to attack." Ji Changgang kept silent. He glanced back and forth in Dongping county and the North Bank of the Yellow River and hesitated: "Ma Qiu was removed from office by Shi Hu because he was defeated in the first world war with Murong Xianbei, and his title was cut off. Since he appeared in Dongping County, he should have been appointed again recently."

In fact, history changed again here. Ma Qiu was appointed again as the governor of Liangzhou and was assigned to attack Zhang's Liangguo. Now Ma Qiu appears in Yanzhou.

Liu Yan asked, "Tai'an means to grasp Ma Qiu's eager psychology of meritorious service?"

Counselors like to play with and manipulate people's minds. They take people's minds as the starting point for the layout of war. They pay attention to understanding the character of the enemy's main general. Once they encounter an unfamiliar enemy, they will be blind.

Spring is the best time to do something meaningful, such as sending a small number of troops to provoke Ma Qiu?

The former name of Dongping county was Dahe county. It was first established in the second year of Ganlu in the Western Han Dynasty (52 BC). At that time, the reigning emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Jianji (Liu Xun). Dahe county was changed to Dongping because there were Liu's clansmen, that is, it became a feudal state.

By the time Wang Mang usurped the government and led to four uprisings, the state of Dongping had actually been abolished, and then it was directly under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. The reason why it would become directly under the jurisdiction of the state capital is that Dongping has always been a place rich in salt and iron.

When it came to the Cao Wei Dynasty, Dongping established a state of enfeoffment again. The difference was that the state became a descendant of Cao Wei. It was not long before Sima's family usurped the throne. Dongping was abolished again and became Dongping county.

Liu Yan sent troops to stimulate Ma Qiu. He needs to pass through Jibei County before he can reach the jurisdiction of Dongping county. Another option is to turn a corner from Lujun to Dongping County, but it is a little far away. The difference is that you can use the Surabaya river system to directly burst into daze (juyeze).

Ma Qiu's stop is naturally in a county capital, which is a salt free city. He has been asking his deputy sun Fudu about Liu Yan for some time, including what kind of tribe the Han army is, the composition, organization, weapons and armor of the Han Army... The military quality shown is not low, and he does not see that Liu Yan is despised.

Then again, Ma Qiu certainly can't despise Liu Yan. In the final analysis, a man who has grown from nothing in four years and can win many wars and victories, how stupid should he be to still despise him?

Sun Fudu had a contest with the Han Army last time. In fact, he felt that he had lost quite a lot. It was a sense of dissatisfaction that he lost without playing at all.

In his heart, he wanted to find a field. As a result, sun Fudu carefully collected all the information about Liu Yan. What impressed him most was the excellent unreasonable armor equipment under Liu Yan.

"Although it looks luxurious, the Han army is not the flashy army of the Jin army. At least the Han army is very stable. Even if it encounters setbacks, it will not shake its morale." Seeing that Ma Qiu's face was strange, sun Fudu had to explain: "the military Lord, I didn't lose next time. He specially improved the combat strength of the Han Army to add face to himself."

Ma Qiu still attaches great importance to this leader's battle. When she hears the speech and nods, her eyes are a little erratic

... split... Cut... Line

It must be explained that there are few updates recently because the honor has been in the patient state. If you bear it, you can still do it twice a day.

Then, the weather was so strange and the air was so bad that the two children coughed and vomited first, followed by coughing and fever. They had to take care of their children.

So please forgive me. I think it's great to keep a record of continuous improvement!
