Chapter 403

As a captive king who likes to enjoy it, Shi Hu has a special preference for building palaces. This can be seen from the fact that while he ordered the conscription of all States and counties across the country, he still did not forget to recruit civilian men to build palaces in Yecheng.

Although Luoyang is not the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, it is the capital of Six Dynasties: Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei Dynasty and Western Jin Dynasty. It should have a very magnificent architectural complex... At least the palace que group, but don't forget the influence of war.

Before Shi Hu left for Luoyang, his first order was to build the palace, not to repair or repair the original broken palace, but to select another site to build a magnificent zhangtai.

Luoyang is only a temporary stop point. The palace has to be built. In fact, the scale is still a little large. Even if the stone tiger really arrives, it is still building the palace, as if the state of Zhao in Shijie is singing and dancing, and there is no war at all.

I decided to ignore Shi Hu in Guanzhong for the time being and decided to lead the army to Yanzhou battlefield first.

Of course, there are reasons for this, and it's not uncommon.

First of all, Fu Hong entered the West and north of Gansu. Shi Hu sent Fu Hong several orders that had not been implemented. Ran min recently removed the national name and wanted to belong to the Han state, but ran min had no intention to withdraw his troops. It seems that ran min and Fu Hong still have a batch. Shi Hu asked them to fight for a while.

The second reason is that Shi Xuan has a lot of soldiers and horses. Only the soldiers and horses of Jie people's own family are close to 100000, and there are more than 300000 of the other races. Shi Hu is not very relieved.

Secondly, Shi Xuan repeatedly reported that Liu Yan was in Yanzhou battlefield, and Li Tu also confirmed this. Shi Hu, who had moved from Yecheng, felt that it seemed necessary in the past. It would be better if he could surround Liu Yan as Li Tu said.

One reason is that Hu Lu did not have a long-term plan for governing the country. He almost did what he wanted to do. Otherwise, Shi Hu would not be the emperor in the ninth year of Xianhe in the small ~ Dynasty ~ court and the first year of Yanxi in Shijie (A.D. 334), but he soon changed his name to the emperor.

Because there is no long-term plan and almost everything is done according to the immediate needs, Shi Hu often recruits troops on a large scale all over the country. Maybe he will gather large troops the previous year, but he will order the dissolution of those troops when they haven't done anything the next year. There are many times of tossing back and forth. Each time, it indicates that there will be an unknown number of people who will be buried in the mouth of the beast.

This time, Shi Hu patted his head and did whatever he wanted. At least some Jin officials would come out to try to persuade him, but those Jin officials were afraid of being killed in recent one or two years, so no one came out to make noise again.

Before he set out from Luoyang, Shi Hu thought of one thing not long after he left, that is, the state of Zhao in Shijie seems to be an ally with the state of Murong Yan. He, the heavenly king of a great country, is going to take care of the state of Han, and Murong Yan can't be idle. Where is Murong seal?

"Tell the heavenly king that the Lord of the state of Yan has just returned to Liaodong county from Lingzhi city." Zhang Ju is Shi Hu's Taiwei, but... There are not too many Taiwei in the state of Zhao in Shijie. He added the word "servant" in front of the Taiwei, but he doesn't know the difference between "servant Taiwei" and Taiwei. Recently, he was really afraid of the moody stone tiger and said respectfully, "it seems that Yan army is massively garrisoning troops around the peninsula occupied by the Han Army in Eastern Liaoning. Yan mainly goes to supervise the war in person."

"Liaodong should be the season of ice and snow. Murong seal is going to attack in winter?" Shi Hu clearly didn't believe it and scolded: "Shi bin sent people to complain several times that the old thief only let murongge lead 30000 troops to run around in Jizhou. It doesn't look like he came to fight."

This time Shi Hu... It can also be said that Shi bin really guessed right. Murongge didn't walk around with people for fun. He surveyed the terrain himself, and almost didn't let go of what should be recorded. Murong GE's doing this is enough to illustrate the fact that Murong Yanguo is still thinking of going south and is not generally firm.

Murong Yanguo must know the terrain of the mountains and rivers before going south. They have been sending spies into Youzhou and Jizhou before. It can be said that there is no detail and intuitive impression from the commander's personal investigation. There are also many steps for them to go south. Of course, it's best to go south and expand territory more easily. We can't just take other methods. Let the state of Zhao and the state of Han in Shijie continue to consume. One of the options is to lose both sides.

As the headquarters of the Hakka army, murongge also participated in the war of Shijie Zhao against the Han state at the beginning, followed by wandering around Hejian county. Murong Ge also has a good reason. It is said that Murong Yan army is good at mobile warfare. It is more useful to find opportunities to cut corners than to put them in the open.

At the beginning, Shi bin didn't welcome the arrival of Murong Yan army. If Murong Ge worked hard, it's just that the two armies are nominally allies but there is no close coordination. It's strange that Shi bin doesn't complain to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu set out from Luoyang and spent more than three days arriving to practice martial arts. The Shijie Zhao army, who was engaged in martial arts, had been ordered to advance. When Shi Hu settled in martial arts, 70000 reinforcements had arrived in Yanjin. The Shijie Zhao army in Yanjin and wenshijin stationed troops in Baima, and the Han Army on the other side of Puyang City had also increased to 80000.

"The Han army is repairing the city?" Shi Hu received the information six days ago. When he got the information, in fact, the Han Army had spent six days in front of the original wall of Puyang to build a wall about ten miles long. He had to ask, "when the two armies were fighting, did they repair the city wall? Did they get sick?"

Zhang Ju said strangely, "the Han Army had a group of excellent stonemasons. I heard that the wall in Liaodong was built in half a month."

In the early days, the length of Liaodong city wall was more than 20 Li, and it took 18 days. Then, it seems that there is no problem for the Han Army to build a ten li city wall in less than nine days?

"Li Tu said that it would be a season of rain and snow in about six days?" Shi Hu was a little tired of this strategic war. If he didn't know the soldiers, he would have been angry, but now he was also a little angry. He said, "with 70000 reinforcements added, what are you still doing?"

"Report back to the heavenly king. The prince is confirming Liu Yan's position, and then..." Zhang Ju hesitated and said: "General Li Tu's main goal is to besiege the Han Army, not how many people are killed at this stage, but mainly stability."

Shi Hu certainly knew Li Tu's strategy and even thought it was very good. He felt that the delay was a little long. He was very doubtful whether the national strength of Shijie Zhao could support it.

According to Li Tu's plan, the Han Army's capture of Puyang City is tantamount to entering a trap. Shijie Zhao Jun can use the next winter to fight a huge siege.

In late winter, the Yellow River will freeze. Once the Yellow River freezes, the Han Army fleet with absolute advantage is useless. There is no excuse not to reach the South Bank of the Yellow River when staying in qihuo army agency in tonqiu county.

The Qi Huo army does not look at the quality, but the quantity is more than 300000. It attacks Jibei County, which has less than 30000 defenders of the Han state. How can it win if it attacks ten times? When Li Nong captured Jibei County, he still had to go south to threaten Dongping County, and finally cut off the road between the Han Army and the rear of Puyang County.

In fact, Li Tu didn't trust Li Nong very much, so he didn't want Li Nong's Qi Huo army to cut off the back road of the Han Army in Puyang County alone. What needed to act together was Sun Fudu's headquarters, which retreated to Jiyin county and was partially supplemented. Sun Fudu led troops from Jiyin County in the southwest, which formed the shape of Li Nong's headquarters and sun Fudu's headquarters into a pair of pliers and coerced Dongping county together.

Not counting the miscellaneous brands, there are 200000 troops of the Jie people's own family participating in this big battle. Shi Hu's Dragon Guard and Shi Xuanxin's Donggong Gaoli all participated in the war. It is the first time that Shijie gathered the elite of his own family to do a big battle.

On the Han side, there are 30000 guards and 30000 soldiers in Puyang County, and there are 40000 auxiliary troops. They are distributed in Puyang, Xiancheng, juancheng, yangjiaocheng and linqiu. The Han Army in Puyang is the most, and the rest are garrisons of a defensive nature.

The troops who rushed to Yanzhou battlefield from the direction of Yuzhou, that is, the 30000 people who temporarily received the order to go north, originally wanted to go around Yangwu, but half the way, the vanguard scouts found Shi Hu's army and had to retreat selectively. Then they marched into Chenliu county. At present, they are facing the remnants of sun Fudu.

Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao did not expect that a war of the nature of battle would evolve into a major battle that could determine the national movement. They are quite anxious. Fortunately, they are worried. Fortunately, Liu Yan has come, otherwise it is really difficult to make up his mind.

"The king told us not to worry about being besieged." Xu Zheng looked quite cheerful and said to the worried yuan Qiao, "since Shi Hu came, it will be a big war. The king must know such orders."

Yuan Qiao couldn't help worrying. There are 200000 Capricorn people they want to fight. They are cruel and cannibal Capricorn people. Who meets them doesn't tremble first.

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Xu Zheng didn't understand why yuan Qiao was afraid of Jie people so much. He said carelessly, "we will soon have a strong city. As long as the arrows are enough, it is impossible for the enemy to attack. Moreover, the enemy is mainly cavalry, and the city defense war is advantageous to us."

Few people born in the south of the Yangtze River are not afraid of the existence of the Jie nationality. That is the psychological shadow of being suppressed for a long time and repeated disastrous defeats. The reason why they retreated without fighting far in several northern expeditions is also because the Jie people are really fierce in riding, and the Jin army is really an enemy of the Jie people in the field.

"There are only about 100000 field armies in the whole country. We have Jizhou battlefield, and Yuzhou and Xuzhou also need to be garrisoned for defense. What's more, the troops involved in the war..." Yuan Qiao asked with some hesitation: "how many can be transferred to Puyang battlefield?"

Xu Zhengzheng said plainly, "we have a forbidden guard."

Compared with those who followed Liu Yan in the early days, Yuan Qiao only had a little understanding of the mystery of the forbidden guards, and was hesitant about making decisions by relying on speculation.

"I believe Ben will." With an obvious smile, Xu Zheng said, "as long as there is the forbidden guard, we are never afraid of the war of attrition."

Yuan Qiao looked at Xu Zheng with strange eyes and sighed: "I hope so."

Hundreds of thousands of troops came together. Soon, there were continuous barracks around Puyang City. He personally rushed to the stone tiger on the edge of Puyang City. He was surprised to see the rising stone wall.

"What do you eat?" Shi Hu was very angry: "watching each other build the city wall and return his 1 mother's stone city wall!"

Shi Xuan said with great grievance: "if there is any attack, the enemy will use his infantry to arrange an array in front of him, so he can't break through the enemy's battle array..."

Li Tu also looked helpless and explained: "heavenly king, the sharpness of the bow and crossbow of the Han army is far beyond our expectations. With the shield wall and the forest of long guns as a cover, it is difficult for our cavalry to break even if they approach with heavy losses."

If the two important figures of the army speak, the rest do not have to speak, or it is difficult not to be implicated. If they want to be killed because they speak, they will die of no value.

Shi Hu still scolded, scolded Shi Xuan and scolded Li tu. it was a roar to catch who. After venting, he calmed down a little: "it's the season of rain and snow right away, isn't it?"

Shi Xuan immediately replied with great respect, "yes, father."

"Leave what works and let the rest go." Shi Hu looked around. The surrounding camp belonging to Shijie was too large, and the camp area also represented many people: "go to Jizhou or Yuzhou, and the Taiwei looked at the arrangement."

Zhang Ju answered quickly. He didn't have to leave so many troops in Puyang battlefield. It was his idea and Sikong Guo Yin's idea.

The war in Puyang County will soon be the main battlefield of Shijie Zhao and Han. The Jie people of Shijie Zhao will gather together, and the elite of Han must come together. Shijie Zhao, which has an absolute advantage in the number of troops, can take advantage of the Han troops to Puyang County and recover the lost land.

The Han state recovered a lot of the old land of the Han family from Shijie. Qingzhou and Xuzhou have all the territory, two-thirds of Yanzhou, one-third of Yuzhou and one-third of Jizhou.

The state of Zhao in Shijie was not completely blind. They knew more or less about the occupied places. In fact, there were not many people in other places except Qingzhou, which was a populous area of the state of Han.

Another reality is that the Han side is only garrisoning troops on various borders for defense, which is equal to tightening the outside and loosening the inside. In this way, as long as we can break through the defense, it is almost not too difficult to forge ahead.

"The small ~ court ~ in the South will threaten Xuzhou, and the Murong old thief will threaten Liaodong and assist us in the war in Jizhou." Shi Hu has been sitting in the big tent with a golden sword. There are absolutely beautiful women waiting on the left and right. Below are many civil and military officials. He glanced around and said, "it is equal to the joint efforts of the three countries to attack the puppet Han. We must eliminate the puppet Han at once."

All are laughing, but no one dares to make a noise, including Prince Shi Xuan.
