Royal Road

Chapter 305 Wasted

“Shi Le sent troops.” In the big tent, Wang Miduan looked unhappy after sitting on the case.

For him, this is not good news. Before the Jin Dynasty moved its capital, he was the only soldier who was ordered to besiege it. As a result, he faced the combined state soldiers and lost more than 8,000. Finally gathered the soldiers, followed up again, and fought with Gou Xi again, damaging thousands of men and horses. Although there were a lot of baggage and servants captured along the way, the hard-earned soldiers could not withstand such losses.

If someone comes to help, he naturally welcomes it. But Shi Le, the dog slave, had already voted for Liu Yao, and he was in the same position as Liu Yao. Wouldn’t it be annoying to let such a thing in?

“Najinu only took ten thousand rides. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight the city. Brother, why should I be afraid of him?” Wang Zhang coldly snorted, “Besides, this time it is your Majesty’s will. Little man, how dare you disobey your orders? Brother just asks him, the credit must still be brother!”

Wang Zhang said frivolously, but Wang Mi nodded slightly. In his opinion, Shi Le, who randomly chooses his master and casts his effect, is indeed a horror. And he has more soldiers, but Shile has fewer soldiers. Who is the coach and who is the general? Doesn’t it matter at a glance?

“Let him stay from Chen to Yanzhou and encircle the remnant of Gou Chun with Cao Yi!” Wang Mi said simply.

Before that, Cao Yi had a fierce battle with Gou Chunbu in Qingzhou and achieved a lot of results. But then Jizhou soldiers and horses intervened and lost some ground. Now that there is a warrior like Shi Le, it is better for the two to encircle Gochun. When Xiao Gou is defeated and Da Gou is unable to support it, isn’t it the opportunity to win Yuzhou and break into Shouchun?

As for whether Yanzhou is difficult to fight, whether he will be attacked by the Liangfeng Ministry who guards Sizhou is not something he has to consider.

The messenger walked fast, and Shi Le received the military order before he arrived at Wang Mi’s big account.

“Attack Yanzhou?” The next confidant became anxious when he heard this. “Yanzhou borders the eastern part of Sizhou, don’t you want to meet that group of soldiers?”

Following Shi Le to escape from Jizhou’s confidant, who doesn’t remember the experience of the fiasco? Binzhou soldiers are really not easy to provoke. If they were stabbed in the back when attacking Yanzhou, it would be miserable. Didn’t your majesty let them assist in the attack on Yuzhou? Was Wang Mi’s order deliberate?

However, Shi Le’s expression remained unchanged: “It’s okay to attack Yanzhou. If you join the state, you shouldn’t have time to worry about others recently.”

Before he left for the expedition, Liu Yao had given hints, telling him not to get too close to Wang Mi. Shi Le had known about the bad friendship between the two. But choosing the direction of the offense is not something others can control. Yuzhou is Wang Mi’s territory. In the past, it was obvious to marry others. On the contrary, Yanzhou is a piece of fat that has never been touched before. As long as it is swallowed, its own strength will immediately skyrocket.

More importantly, Liu Yuan seems to be intending to attack Bingzhou. Whether it is Sizhou or Jizhou’s soldiers and horses, they should not act rashly. It is the right thing to accumulate energy to deal with Han. And as long as he can break through the city one after another and let more refugees flood into Sizhou, it will be a great accomplishment.

It just so happens that Wang Mi also ordered such a good opportunity, how can we not grasp it firmly?

“Let the order go on and turn to Chen Liu!”

Following Shi Le’s order, this cavalry turned slightly and cleverly, and rushed towards Chen Liu. Five days later, the Chenliu prefecture was destroyed!

The two armies made chaos in the hinterland of Henan and Yan, but Zuti, who was stationed in Luoyang, really had no time for him to take care of them. Since Linghu Kuang returned to Luoyang with 20,000 people, the task on his shoulders has become heavy.

Ordering people to repair houses, busy with spring plowing, and resettling the influx of refugees, is all cumbersome. Fortunately, Shijun ordered Hu Kuang to stay for assistance, and only then did he have some spare time to breathe.

After Luoyang was generally calmed down, Zu Ti began to plot the occupied counties of Henan and Hanoi. However, unlike the military style of most generals in the state, he did not immediately organize a strong attack. Instead, he carefully studied the commanders and leading generals of the counties, and then secretly sent secret envoys or encouraged surrender. Or sow discord. It didn’t take much effort to cause a commotion in the occupied city.

After all, it was a city that was only occupied by the Huns at the end of last year. In a short time, how can the pseudo-Han completely digest it? After being pressured to surrender to the enemy, there are many generals and magistrates who feel regretful. After instigating the two counties, Zu Ti began to clean up the throat fortresses next to Luoyang City one by one in coordination with Linghu’s soldiers and horses. I don’t know whether it is because of the lack of troops, or that Luoyang means nothing to the Huns than before. His use of troops did not encounter much resistance.

In addition, Ge Hong, the prefect of Wei County, also assisted, and sent troops to Xingyang to seize the lost ground. The eastern part of Sizhou unexpectedly showed signs of imminent settlement.

However, it is good to retake the county government. The pressure on Luoyang is also increasing. By the end of March, there was a gap in the food supplied by the state. The lost land that has just been regained, the looted and the poor, leaving only the wailing people waiting to be fed. Neighboring Yanzhou suffered another military disaster, with a large influx of refugees every day.

Now that the green and yellow are not picking up, the winter wheat planted last year will have more than half a month to be harvested. How to survive the famine? Moreover, compared with the war between Henan and Yanzhou, the time that the pseudo-Han stayed in Sizhou was too long. Zu Ti began to feel bad, and immediately wrote to Jinyang.

At this moment, another news came from Yanzhou. After more than a month of fierce fighting, Cao Yi was forced to do nothing. Gou Chun wanted to leave Qingzhou to join his brother Gou Xi. However, while passing through Yanzhou, it was stopped by Shile’s army.

Since the invasion of Yanzhou, Shi Le’s soldiers and horses have entered the land of no one, wherever they passed, either the city was broken or the surrender was offered. He also expanded from more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to 40,000 infantry. With this kind of force in hand, what is the remnant?

During an encirclement and suppression, Gou Chun couldn’t even escape, and died in Huangquan.

Hearing the news of his brother’s death, Gou Xi was furious and sent troops to Yanzhou, wanting to avenge Gou Chun. However, Wang Mi, who had been fighting for a long time, followed up again. A total of 70,000 troops of Wang Mi and Shi Le surrounded Gou Xi. Win or lose depends on this battle!

The war in Yu and Yanzhou is on the verge of breaking out. In the Pingyang Palace, Liu Yuan also let out a long sigh: “It’s time to conquer the state.”

Spring has never been the time to send troops, but now the Han Dynasty is responsible for the protection of China. As long as Yongzhou is not chaotic, there will be no problems with food supply. The attack on Yuzhou and Yanzhou relied more on fighting to support the war. As long as the city is broken, it will be able to replenish soldiers, food and grass, and countless military capital gains. After such a battle, you will never lose, and it is also the Xiongnu’s favorite style of play.

But the state is different. Liang Feng is too benevolent, even if he gathers the refugees, he is worried about filling them, and the taxes collected from farming farms are surprisingly small. It’s a comfortable life to rule the people in this way. Where does the food come from? The previous swallowing of Jizhou made its military and financial resources greatly strained. After Sizhou got it, a series of rescue operations for the city became the last straw on the horse’s back.

Bingzhou should be nowhere to be seen now, and there are still tens of thousands of refugees in Yanzhou. The only hope is the summer harvest. It seems that April is about to enter, and in more than half a month, it will be the harvest season. The Shangdang has long become a granary in the state of Bingzhou. After the black market was cut off, this batch of grain was their only hope!

What if you attack the party now?

Can Jianbi Qingye still be used? Is the lives of the people more important, or is the food for a season more important? If there is no strong city that can be relied on, can the power of the state soldiers and horses be displayed in the face of several times the enemy?

Not to mention, he didn’t even have to fight, as long as he sent troops to trample and burn all the grain fields that were about to mature. Such a battle was enough to make Bingzhou overwhelmed. At that time, he will be able to move the capital.

The restless sleep, restlessness and headaches these days and nights seem to be nothing. Liu Yuan rubbed his chest, as if he was about to remove the stuffy breath in his chest, and also rubbed it away.

“Send King Qin this time. Lead fifty thousand soldiers and level the upper party!”

※

“The pseudo-Han is about to send troops.” The battle reports gathered in Jinyang. The most eye-catching among them is Xinling to report. Holding the little piece of paper, Liang Feng seemed to heaved a sigh of relief, “Liu Yao is leading the fifty thousand Qingqi, ready to attack the party.”

Fifty thousand cavalrymen attacked the Shangdang just before the summer harvest. This is terrible news. Not to mention the dangerous situation near Luoyang. However, as far as Liang Feng and down to his ministers, no one showed worry.

Zhang Bin said: “This time the Huns are pouring their national power to disrupt the state of the Union, it is the time to counteract it! As long as this cavalry is dragged, the Huns will surely be in chaos, and the old thief Liu Yuan will also have to take care of himself.”

Yes, in their plan, they don’t even need to defeat the enemy, as long as they drag this force of soldiers, they can achieve the desired effect. The strategy the Huns resorted to this time was horrible, but they missed a bit.

Who said that Binzhou can only survive by harvesting this season’s grain in summer?

On the one hand, it is to devote everything to it, on the other hand, it is premeditated. Which one wins and which one loses, at the moment of making a decision, there will be a result.

“General Linghu, you bring 10,000 soldiers and horses and garrison Lishi to guard against a side raid by the Huns.” Liang Feng ordered.

“The final commander!” Linghu Sheng clasped his fists and promised.

“Bo Yuan, you take the Tiger Wolf Cavalry and 20,000 troops to the Shangdang Party, and lead the three armies together!” Liang Feng’s gaze was cast on Yi Yan.

After a month’s experience in suppressing bandits, the recruits of the Tiger Wolf Cavalry have seen blood, sharpened their blades, and can use them. Naturally, this battle must be used on the blade!

“The final commander!”

Yi Yan took a step forward and responded loudly. Vigorous determination flashed in the gray-blue eyes.

Seeing that scorching gaze, Liang Feng smiled on his lips, turned his head, and said to Zhang Bin: “Meng Sun, the success or failure of this great battle depends on you in the end.”

Zhang Bin smiled proudly: “Don’t worry, the next official will let the pseudo-Han reap the consequences!”

Want to bring chaos in Binzhou? I’m afraid Liu Yuan will taste the bitter fruit of the civil strife first. This round should also come to an end!
