Chapter 573

Officials can't get used to it, or the more they get used to it, the more bastards they get. In fact, no one can be used to it all the time, otherwise it will only cause people to take it for granted. If they are a little unhappy, they will feel that people all over the world are sorry for themselves.

Liu Yan is not only not used to Lu Ru, but also has the same mind for anyone. He knew that now was the best time to destroy Zhang's cool country. In the face of Xu Zheng's shameless face, he wanted to lead the army to veto it. He planned to let Xie an, the nearest to Zhang's cool country, take action.

"Xie aitun still has some hands and tail in Rouran mountain, but there are not so many troops." Liu Yan was not able to turn the corner. He still had some confusion about the gains and losses of this in-depth grassland battle: "leave more than 10000, and the forbidden guards will call back."

It should be said that the goal of going deep into the grassland was achieved this time. Although Zhang Chonghua was captured alive and Tuoba shiyijian, Murong Jun and Fu Hong ran away, he destroyed the alliance of the kings and found out the details of the gentle people.

Things in Rouran can be put aside first. Can Bati be used by the state of Han and need to fight for it. If Rouran can coordinate from the north, it will certainly be good for the Han country to fight against Tuoba Dai country and Murong Yan country. It depends on whether Xie AI has the ability to persuade Bati.

Zhang Chonghua was captured, and Zhang Liangguo fell into a chaotic situation without a leader. The state of Han plans to go in three steps.

It is, of course, the best way to make Zhang Chonghua yield and then order Zhang Liangguo to surrender.

Zhang Chonghua should not be allowed to give in. The state of Han sent a false message to Zhang Liangguo in the name of Zhang Chonghua. What effect can be achieved is what effect can be achieved.

The second is to encourage Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi's ambition to at least plunge Zhang Liangguo into civil strife.

The basis of everything is to prepare for the Han Army's expedition. What kind of fruit can be harvested depends on force.

Xie AI, who is located in Guanzhong, has few troops on hand. A standing army plus 50000 soldiers from counties and counties are basically stationed on the Weishui front line in Qinzhou.

Xu Zheng needs to find out one thing: "king, is the forbidden guard a callback center or..."

Xie an took the defensive with the limited force at hand, facing at least 50000 Zhang's Liang army and 130000 multi-ethnic coalition forces led by di.

Zhang Zuo was in command of Zhang's Liang army's invasion of Guanzhong, and Zhang Chong was the deputy general. Most of these Zhang's Liang troops belonged to the original Jincheng garrison, and the rest came back from the western regions.

As an important military town in the east of the Liang state of Zhang, Jincheng is no worse than the troops who can bear the garrison. They have fought with Liu Yao's former Zhao, shile's later Zhao and Shihu's later Zhao for a long time, and have always kept Jincheng as solid as gold soup.

Zhang Chonghua's Liang troops, who were transferred back from the western regions, have been fighting in the western regions for a long time. Since they can conquer and open up more than half of the western regions for Zhang's Liang country, their combat effectiveness must not be much lower.

Fu Hong is currently missing for the Han state. Fu Xiong, Fu Hong's fourth son, is in command of the Hu coalition army in Guanzhong.

The main helpers of the multi-ethnic coalition army with Fu Xiong as its commander are of course Di people, and some Qiang people are also highly valued. The gathered Hu people basically have a deep hatred for the Han state, especially the Qiang people have made every effort to avenge Yao Yizhong.

In general, Xie AI's ability to stabilize the front with far less troops than the enemy makes the center see his military talent, but sticking to the front with limited troops does not mean that he can counter attack with far less troops than the enemy.

"The battle of Yanmen is over, and the battle of Youzhou is stalled..." Xu Zheng spread his hands and said, "it doesn't mean that there are troops to reinforce Xie an."

According to the era, it is now the autumn of 347 and the fifth year of Yuanshuo.

Since the third year of Yuanshuo, the territory of the state of Han has been expanding every day. If you want to compare, the territory of the state of Han has been restored to the same level as that of the Western Jin Dynasty, which is less than that of the Western Jin Dynasty. At the same time, it lacks the territory to the west of Qinzhou in Guanzhong. (the map cannot be transmitted from the starting point now, or the honor will send the map.)

In just two or three years, the territory of the state of Han has expanded several times, but the territory is not occupied by the army. Even if it is completed, the troops need to be used everywhere to eliminate some remnants and guard against some unstable people.

Let's put it this way, the Han state now has seven standing cavalry armies and six infantry armies. Six cavalry armies are aimed at Tuoba Dai state and Murong Yan state, and one is under Xie an's command. The infantry army has two armies under the account of Huanwen. One is used as an emergency infantry army to mobilize counter insurgency. Naturally, the rest are also in the battlefields of Tuoba Dai state and murongyan state. The number of soldiers in counties and counties serving at the same time in China is about 500000, more than 300000 are transferred to the north line, 50000 are listening to Huanwen accounts, and the rest are in counties and counties.

Although the total strength of the Han state is now as high as more than 700000, the Han Army has many fronts, and there is no shortage of garrison troops in China. There will be losses in combat. It is true that we can't draw much troops to Xie an.

To destroy Zhang's cool country, it is one thing to make preparations before the action. If you really start the action, you must be fast, ruthless and accurate. After the war breaks out, you should keep moving forward rapidly. You must not let Zhang's cool country have a breathing space, or you will lose the best time.

According to the discussion before the Central Committee, the guards should return to the center after being completed the task of penetrating the grasslands, and then be put into battle against Murong Yan state. Now the situation needs to be changed.

"The area where Murong Xianbei is located has been cold for a long time. In recent years, the climate tends to enter winter early and spring late. The time suitable for combat is less than four months." Xu Zheng is a Tai Wei. Who will come if he doesn't make suggestions? That is to say: "since now is the best time to destroy Xiliang, it's better to transfer the forbidden guard to Xie an's command."

The forbidden guards are famous for their ability to fight, and their requirements for the climate during combat are not so high. Xu Zheng sincerely believes that the climate should not get warmer. He should ignore the bitter cold and directly cook Zhang's cool country in the late autumn and winter of this year.

Liu Yan thought carefully and finally looked at Ji Chang.

"This year's autumn harvest has been completed." Ji Chang of course knew what Liu Yan meant, and immediately said, "it can support the opening of the battlefield to Xiliang."

The war against Tuoba Dai state and Murong Yan state will be temporarily slowed down by the impact of the climate. The army is in a non wartime state, and the consumption of grain and fodder will be greatly reduced. It is a relief for the Han state, which has received grain but is still largely short of food.

"Southwest..." Liu Yan thought of the war on the southwest peninsula. Seeing that the discussion had already had results, he turned off the topic: "what's the situation?"

At the beginning of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han army landed in Jiaozhi and invaded Linyi. Now the Han Army has fought with Linyi several times in the south of Japan, and then made a comprehensive landing on the coastline, forcing Linyi to abandon the coastline and stick to the inland.

The regular army of the Han Dynasty had recovered the old land that Linyi had previously robbed from the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After harvesting the first batch of achievements, the regular army temporarily stopped its work and released many families because there was no good way to cut off the coastline and inland mountains.

"The children have climbed over the mountains into the Linyi." Yu Yi came to participate in the discussion. Most of the time he had ears and no mouth. He had the opportunity to show his sense of existence. Of course, he was happy: "the loss is a little big, but the harvest is also good."

Yu Yi's so-called climbing, that is, he really worked hard to climb mountains and mountains. Few people were damaged in the fight, but many people died of falling mountains, poisonous insects, miasma and other natural environments.

The armed forces of each family were released. How much land they laid on the other side of the mountain belongs to the family. Even if they do not belong to the family, they can contribute to the country in exchange for titles and rewards. They are trying hard to make a difference.

How much desire a person has, how determined the officer will be. If you break into the mountains and forests with great determination and wait for it, even if you regret it, it is too difficult to move forward and retreat. If you are unwilling, you can only harden your scalp and continue to move forward.

"Oh..." Liu Yan really didn't pay much attention to the trend of families. He asked with great interest: "tell me, what harvest is good."

Yu Yi is the public spokesman of all families in the center, which Liu Yan expressly allows. The reason why he became an official in the state of Han is to a large extent to ensure the development of families in the southwest peninsula. Since Liu Yan is interested in knowing, he will naturally work hard to introduce.

It should be said that families have made great efforts to climb mountains and mountains and harvested the most. They should have found out the weather in the southwest peninsula. Of course, they have opened up a path, and accumulated enough experience in dealing with poisonous insects. They went deep inland. After crossing the mountains, they didn't meet too many savages. They re entered the flat land and found bananas everywhere, including monkeys and elephants.

"Ha?" Xu zhengle said, "what do you eat for three meals?"

Yu Yi said, "banana fruit."

By the way, people living in the north of the Yangtze River are really strange to bananas. Then, bananas are really called banana fruit now.

"There's nothing I can do. It rains in three or two days over there. Especially in autumn, it's a long rainy season. The dry food I carry is soaked in water and soon turns sour. It happens that it's the season for banana fruit to mature." Yu Yi's face didn't look good when he spoke: "if you eat too many bananas, the children have severe diarrhea. You can send them back to Jiaozhi for treatment and recuperation, and you can get your life back."

Yu Yi's ugly face can tell us what it is like not to be sent back to the Han Army controlled area in time.

Liu Yan knows what's going on on on the southwest peninsula. He didn't watch some extreme survival programs before crossing. Compared with some survival programs abroad, some domestic variety shows began to play survival challenges, which is just a children's play. Compared with some survival programs abroad, there is really no modern tool to survive in the wild, especially in the extremely primitive place of the southwest peninsula. Fighting with heaven, earth and anything requires more than courage.

What kind of society is it now? But there are not so many modern scientific and technological products. With the development of Chinese civilization, at least flint has been made, but at least dry firewood is needed to make a fire! The problem is that it rains from time to time on the southwest peninsula. It's not easy to get dry firewood.

The trouble of Southwest peninsula for people, especially for those who can't adapt to humidity all the time, is that it's difficult to keep dry. This is life-threatening. People with slightly weak physical quality can't keep dry. Getting sick is a matter of minutes. Therefore, for the armed forces of all families, it is excellent not to get sick. Whether they can carry it when they are sick is the key, or whether they can get timely and effective treatment is a matter of human life.

"It costs a lot... A lot..." Yu Yi looked gloomy at first. It was estimated that it would be so difficult to open up the southwest. Then he changed his look of sacrifice, "It's really suitable for farming there. It's no problem to grow three or four crops a year. In addition to food, the local mineral resources are very rich. Only two open-air gold mines have been found, and there are gemstones and fragrant trees everywhere."

On the premise of sufficient interests, sacrifice is certainly acceptable. In particular, most of the people who sacrifice are humble servants to the aristocratic family. They have paid and gained, that is, they are more or less unwilling to be occupied by the state and the dynasty.

"Dog head gold and jade?" In fact, Liu Yan was not sure, so he asked, "did you have labor to develop those things?"

What Liu Yan knows is that there are not too many gold mines in the southwest. Instead, there is a large silver mine and several large coal mines on the other side of the mountain. There are even iron and copper mines that can be counted in Asia, among which the coal mine is the unique anthracite in Asia.

Anthracite! It may not be a big deal for now, but waiting to enter the steam age, steam turbines have also been developed, waiting for ships to be equipped with steam driving devices, and anthracite is a very precious strategic material. One thing to know is that France, which occupies the southwest Peninsula, has mastered the anthracite mine, but they can't do it in Europe. Their face makes the world's No. 1 power somewhat invisible.

"The minister has got the document and is dredging the jiudejiu river. If this river across the mountains can be used..." Yu Yi's answer is not what he asked, but the truth is there: "with today's reliance, transportation is the lifeblood."

In the so-called Jiude River, the word "de" is actually to replace the "speed" next to the double with three points of water, but the simplified word has long disappeared. This naming should be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. After all, the Chinese Miao people first developed here in the Western Han Dynasty. Of course, some naming was done during the development.

"I will let the local garrison cooperate." Liu Yan didn't mean to be perfunctory at all. He carefully added: "if there are other needs, Yu Qing can also speak."

Yu Yi saluted immediately, with a rare touch on his face.

For Liu Yanlai, the continuous development of the Han state is opening up territory, but is it not that the living space of the nation has been expanded? Anyone who develops and explores abroad will strongly support it. How far he can develop is one thing. He can cultivate the national spirit of adventure, which is definitely a great cause for contemporary people to future generations.
