"The king has put the forbidden guards stationed in Rouran mountain under his own system!"
At this moment, Xie an has nothing but excitement.
The forbidden guards are recognized as the strongest of all the armies in the Han Dynasty, and there are some incomprehensible mysteries. They have been a little silent since the third year of Yuanshuo. They began to gain power again in the fifth year of Yuanshuo. They went deep into the grassland and easily broke through the king's allied forces. They swept continuously, forcing Tuoba Dai country to seek asylum in Murong Yan country.
Xie an had received some news before that the forbidden guards of Rouran mountain would move eastward again, cooperate with the friendly forces of Jizhou and Liaodong, and attack Murong Yanguo from the rear wing. Although the request was made in the letter, he did not hold much hope.
Yes, the Han Army in Rouran mountain can launch an attack from the rear of Murong Yan state and, of course, from the rear of Zhang Liang state. It is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Murong Yan state and Zhang Liang state.
"The king went to Zhuoxian again, and the attack on the state of Yan has entered the final stage of preparation." Xie Anman said with emotion: "it is precisely because of this that Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi are so relieved to gather the troops of the whole country to the Yellow River line in Jincheng."
Liu Yan wants to enlist Murong Yan state personally. Anyone who wants to come will be the top priority of the Han state. Then it must be thought that he wants to deploy the absolute elite to obey orders. Should not the forbidden guard be transferred to the Han state, or should Liu Yan be the absolute Pro army?
Xie an thought like this before. I'm afraid Zhang Liangguo and murongyan state all thought like this. As a result, Zhang Liangguo only left a garrison in the rear, but murongyan state mobilized heavy troops to garrison in its north.
"Even we think so. It's normal for Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi to make mistakes." Yuan Qiao stared at the map of mountains and rivers for a little while and suddenly asked, "how will the forbidden guards be arranged?"
If they want to cross the Yellow River, it depends on the water flow. The most suitable time should be in the middle of summer, so there are nearly four months left.
Jincheng is a strong city. I'm afraid it can't be conquered in only four months. Even when the Han Army on the south bank can cross the river, what they strive for is only to transport two cavalry troops. The infantry army must stay.
Xie'an has been trying to ask the center for more troops. The center is very proud. It not only allocates the forbidden guards of Rouran mountain, but also transfers the two infantry troops and 80000 County soldiers originally belonging to the shogunate of the Hussars general. It is equivalent to that xie'an has two cavalry troops, three infantry troops, 40000 forbidden guards and 110000 County soldiers.
With three standing infantry troops and 110000 County soldiers to surround Jincheng without strong attack, leaving a few cavalry as support, Xie an has reason to believe that Jincheng's defenders will retreat even if they go out of the city.
"Jincheng doesn't need a strong attack." Xie an has his own idea and said: "the Great Han only wants to destroy the Liang state. As long as he defeats the main force of Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi and conquers guzang and other counties, Jincheng, which is at the forefront, can only fall without war."
Knowing that it is a strong city, a strong attack will certainly cause heavy casualties. On the premise that a strong attack is not necessarily necessary, it will cost a lot of troops to surround it and finally force the defenders to surrender without fighting, which is better than paying heavy casualties. Many people have the same view as Xie an.
"In the early summer, the forbidden guards went out to the south of Rouran mountain. The heavy troops of Liangguo are all on the North Bank of the Yellow River. It can be guessed that there are not many garrisons on the back." Xie an turned his head and looked at the rear. There were waves of arrows in the sky. He said with a smile: "the forbidden guards move quickly and have strong penetration ability. Waiting for Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi to find that the forbidden guards are approaching guzang, they will be in chaos."
"... at that time, we can use the arriving fleet to quickly transport the troops on the south bank across the river." Yuan Qiao kept nodding his head: "there, first make an attack on Jincheng, so that the enemy thinks we are bound to win Jincheng."
There are many military action plans. Generally, the whole line of horizontal push operation is adopted to prevent the enemy from causing trouble behind, such as attacking the supply line.
The Han Army's demand for supply lines was not too high. For a long time, it had always used the method of interspersed operations. It always attacked everywhere after local penetration. It was often able to disrupt the enemy's front from the inside, and then carry out a flank attack.
Huanwen led the army to fight south of the Yangtze River, which was the usual way of penetration. It took only a year and a half to bring the counties under the rule of the Han state, followed by the busy cleaning of those who still resisted.
The war in the South has basically come to an end. What Huan Wen is striving for in the recent stage is to go to Jiaozhi and set up the shogunate of the general who conquered the south there to preside over the war against Funan.
Zhang Liangguo gathered heavy troops to the South and tried his best to fight with the Han Army led by xie'an. He dared to assemble on the North Bank of the Yellow River because he knew that the current was fast and not suitable for swimming. He wanted to rest his troops in a gap of at least one month.
Zhang Zuo clearly knew that he could not use the strength of Zhang Liang as a country to fight against the Han state, but he still had a glimmer of confidence in fighting only with Xie an's headquarters. He knew about xie'an's Department, that is, about 70000 people. He speculated that there would be reinforcements, but he didn't think there would be too many. The seven or eight people in xie'an's hand have to deal with Jincheng and more than 300000 people.
In fact, everyone knows that the Han state is fighting everywhere, and the South has not stopped the suppression. The northeast is waiting for the country of Murong Yan. The northern grassland is not only fighting Tuoba Xianbei, but also Rouran tribal alliance. It seems that the southwest is also fighting Linyi and Funan, and even there are military operations on the peninsula.
"That is, there are millions of Han kings who have opened so many fronts that can be used for our war. At most, it will not exceed 100000." Zhang Zuo didn't include the county soldiers of the Han state. What he knew was that the county soldiers of the Han state didn't go to the front easily and did the work of some civilian men: "we sit on natural dangers and unite as one under the subjugation crisis. Even if we can't defeat them, we can stand in a stalemate with them. As long as the king of the Han recognizes that it's difficult to destroy us, we can operate in many ways."
The lively scene of shooting arrows at each other in Jincheng stopped, and the two fighting cavalry returned everywhere. Zhang Zuo could not know the course of the battle and the losses between each other. He only knew that the Han Army had not rushed out of the city at all, which was a lively scene and would not have any practical significance.
The masters of both sides will face each other across the river. Unless there are binoculars, they can only see the vague outline of human figures.
Of course, Xie an had a telescope and carefully observed Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi. He knew how to look at his face a little. Zhang Zuo looked evil. As a king, he must be a tyrant. His evaluation of Zhang Tianxi's appearance is handsome, but he looks much younger. He thinks Zhang Tianxi can't compete with Zhang Zuo at all.
"Will Mingda always garrison Rouran mountain?" Zhong Xing didn't forget Xie AI's origin and said, "Mingda captured Liang Lord. It's not suitable to lead the army to attack Liang again."
Who has worked for? After changing the court, lead the army to attack. Whether it is their own or not, the reputation will be somewhat negative.
The news that Xie Aisheng captured Zhang Chonghua spread to Xiliang. I don't know how many people scolded. Fortunately, Xie AI's family had moved away long ago. Otherwise, some extreme people would do some extreme things.
Liu Yan's order to Xie AI was indeed to garrison Rouran mountain, continue to negotiate with Rouran Khan Bati, and did not let Xie AI participate in the invasion of Zhang's cool country.
After Xie AI's military affairs are completed, he will go back to the center and fulfill the responsibility of the imperial historian Zhongcheng, but he doesn't know when he can continue to unify the army.
"It is said that Mingda will be canonized as the head of a country." Yuan Qiao did not hide his envy: "how many Marquis are there in a big man? Even a marquis in the pass is enough to be admired."
From the fifth year of Yuanshuo to the sixth year of Yuanshuo, those who made any contributions were rewarded when they returned to the center to report on their work. Those who were originally marques increased their food cities. The new Marquis has LV Tai. Everyone knows that Xie AI will be the next new marquis.
If you destroy the country, you will be granted a marquis, or if you accumulate enough military achievements, many people in the military are one step away from becoming a marquis in the pass. Among them, if Xie an can preside over the destruction of Zhang's Liang country, you will also be granted a marquis, together with some generals such as Zhong Xing and Yuan Qiao.
"General Hussars is sure to be promoted to chehou this year." Zhong Xing said excitedly, "in this way, the Hussars general is the first marquis."
Ran Min has already captured Shuozhou. The aliens he can chase are either killed or captured. Recently, he went to Dingxiang in person. It seems that he wants to go to the city to understand the stone tiger trapped for more than a year, but his request was rejected by the center.
Dingxiang has always been under siege. The Dragon guards guarding the palace city have never made a counterattack. No one knows whether the stone tiger is alive or dead.
Dingxiang, which has been besieged for a long time, broke out of plague because there were too many corpses buried. There should be no living people except those in the palace city.
It was precisely because of the outbreak of the plague in Dingxiang that the center did not allow ran min to lead the army into the country. Moreover, for the Han country, Shi Jie was really over. The people who left Dingxiang palace city would not affect too many. Wait for the plague to pass, and you can have an end whenever you want.
Ran min, who presided over the destruction of Shijie Zhao, really deserves a reward, but it is not simple for him to be promoted to chehou. The most important thing is that Liu Yan rewarded him for presiding over the destruction of the people of Shijie.
The pit killing of the Jie people in the Han Dynasty has been going on all the time, leaving a very small number of people with political significance, and then killing all men, women, old and young. After incomplete statistics, only ran min ordered the number of Jie people killed in the pit to exceed 300000. The rest died on the battlefield or closed down on the way to escape, which is really incalculable.
"There are still some Jie people who fled to Mobei under the leadership of Shi Xuan." Zhong Xing paid more attention to Shi Jie's affairs and said, "the Hussars general went to Dingxiang and led the army to hunt down the north. I heard that Shi Xuan took refuge in the West Gaoche people."
Xigaoche is also a tribal alliance model. Like donggaoche, they belong to Ding zero people. Shijie and Zhao invaded Heshuo on a large scale when the country was weak, and the Han army fought with it many times, large and small.
Shi Xuan took refuge in Xigao car. What the state of Han did not understand was that Shi Xuan did not honestly become a grandson. He brought more than 30000 people to eat, live and use Xigao cars. After breathing, he began to invade the Xigao people's tribe.
In history, after the end of the state of Zhao, Shi Jie became weak. A Jie called Hou Jing was sheltered by Liang Lord of the Southern Dynasty. This group of Jie people was about one or two thousand. They were well entertained. It didn't take long for them to turn their face directly and disown others. After the riot, they coerced the mob and almost ate the whole state. It can be said that they didn't disgrace their ancestors.
The so-called farmer and snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, the young man and the fallen old lady... Xigaoche took in Shi Xuan to eat the consequences of his own evil. There are more than one or two thousand of Shi Xuan's remaining Jie people. They have a full 30000. They haven't forgotten the Jie's love of eating people. They directly messed up Mobei.
Xie'an's eyes narrowed. He was a general of Zhengxi Zhonglang, but the Han state did not recruit a general of Xixi. A large group of people including him had a cognition that it was sooner or later to become a general of Zhengxi.
There are few generals in the state of Han, not to mention those who are better than Sangong. The generals of the four expeditions, four towns, four levels and four caresses have different degrees of importance. Among them, the generals of the four expeditions are the most powerful, and the military affairs they are responsible for are also the most important.
To put it bluntly, the four generals in the East, South, West and North are responsible for opening up to the outside world and belong to the sequence of generals who are the easiest to establish meritorious deeds. At present, the three generals of the north, South and East have been granted Marquises successively. It can be imagined that the general of the West will also be granted Marquises for meritorious deeds.
There is such a perception that he will become a general of the western expedition sooner or later. Xie an not only regards Zhang Liangguo as his "forbidden land", such as the western regions, Mobei and basin... Anyway, as long as it is the boundary in the west, it is actually regarded by him as his place of expedition.
"Summer... No, autumn, in autumn, we must solve the cool country!" Xie an suddenly had a sense of urgency: "not only to destroy Liang country, but also to enter the western regions and regain the western regions in the arms of the Han family!"
In fact, Zhang Liangguo has been developing in the western regions. If Zhang Jun didn't die so soon, they would soon solve the car division and soon hit the boundary of kuci.
In order to cope with the continuous advance of Zhang's Liang army, kuizi is seeking an alliance with Wusun. While fighting for Wusun, they have already attracted Khotan and Shanshan.
Zhengxi Zhonglang will not be qualified to establish the shogunate, but the people on the Western Front battlefield are basically grasshoppers on a rope. What future Xie an can have will affect the people below. It can be said that the higher Xie an's achievements, the more soup the people below can get.
To put it bluntly, although soldiers go to the battlefield to fight, there are still many situations. When the country is invaded, they wear war robes to protect the country, while invading other countries is with the idea of making achievements. No one will despise their great contribution and will only be depressed that their war contribution is too small.
The state of Han cannot be granted a marquis without military merit, and the title is very expensive. Seeing that the surrounding enemy countries are almost destroyed, who is not satisfied with his title and wants to strive for meritorious service?
