Xuzhou, Guangling County, Haixi County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the coast of the East China Sea, located in the south of Xuzhou and the north of the narrow strip of land, to the east is the vast sea, to the south is the Xiapi County that both Sun and Ma are unwilling to invade.

Because of the strength and efforts of the Xiapi Mi clan to mediate, they won a relatively peaceful area for the people of Xuzhou in the next major war faced by Xuzhou...... A large number of officials and citizens vied with each other, and this was the only happy land in the melee between the north and the south that could avoid war.

It is also the only paradise for Xuzhou people.

Regardless of Sun Ma, whoever invades Xuzhou first, the Mi clan will stand on the other side of the battlefield.

The big force of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou may not care if they are taken out on both sides of Sun and Ma, but at this time, if they get 30,000 local Xuzhou troops, it will undoubtedly make the war clear.

Therefore, neither of them wants to be an enemy of the Mi clan.

As soon as the war began, Mi became the biggest possible winner in this war.

No one will hope that the war will burn to the doorstep, the previous main battle of the Xuzhou clan Haoqiang in the two sides of the soldiers and horses after the prestige of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou plummeted, and the main and Mi clan is a large number of followers, deserters, swordsmen, rangers, merchants, people, gentry, as long as the Mi clan can give a mouthful of food, a knife, they are very willing to fight with the banner of the Mi clan when Xiapi is attacked.

Now the war in Xuzhou also revolves around the battle for Haixi County.

Guangling's most powerful Chen father and son attached to Jiangdong at the beginning of the landing of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and helped the Jiangdong army to go north with their own control of Guangling's troops and prestige.

All the way, they rushed to Haixi County.

Xu Huang had foresight, at the beginning of the Jiangdong people landed on the shore, he knew that Haixi would be the key point in the early stage of this battle, and he could really gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou when he got Haixi, so he began to release soldiers and horses to take over the defense of the counties and counties in the north of Xuzhou, and personally led the soldiers and horses to Haixi, and even took the Haixi city of Guangling County one step earlier than the Jiangdong people, and the defense along the line was enough to defend it.

Outsiders thought that the Liang State had conquered the north of Haixi, but in fact, the war in the north had just begun, and the soldiers and horses of the Liang State were just capable of seizing a supply line in the coastal area.

Donghai country, Zhiyan County. The prince of Liangguo commanded two thousand Liang Wang troops, and three thousand Qing Liang warriors were rushing to the city...... Since leaving Langya country, Ma Qing has returned to Ganyu, Zhuqi, and Licheng, and has been famous all over the world.

But Yan County, it's not easy to take.

Zang Ba, the cavalry captain who had previously clashed with Liangguo, went all the way south to Yanxian after the defeat of Langya State, and the reason why Ma Qing asked Xu Huang to personally come to take the largest city in the East China Sea was because Zang Ba was here.

The Liang State sent troops to Xuzhou, the Liang State confronted Jiangdong in Xuzhou, and the Liang State went to war with Jiangdong in Xuzhou...... It seems that everyone has forgotten that the original intention of this battle was to avenge Pei Hui.

The old generals had other things in their heads, and his royal father didn't seem to be keen on revenge.

The prince of Liang would not have personally led the troops to this dangerous situation, but he was not only the prince of Liang Kingdom.

He is also a nephew who has no great uncle.

In Xuzhou, he wants to do something that his nephew should do.

On the winding official road, 5,000 soldiers and horses walked in quickly, Ma Qing wiped the sweat from his pocket, and asked his subordinates, "How far is it?" ”

"Back to the general, there are still forty miles to Yan County." The captain of King Liang's ride thought for a while, and said with some pleading: "Why don't you let the soldiers rest for a while, they have walked all the way for seventy miles, and the weather is very hot." ”

Ma Qing looked left and right, nodded and said: "You can't rest here, it's too easy to be attacked on both sides, give an order, let the soldiers move forward for another ten miles, be careful of the enemies on both sides, the bow and crossbow will not be wound." ”

"Let the scouts brighten their eyes, if I am Zang Ba, I will definitely set up an ambush and fight a battle before I wait for the soldiers to come to the city."

Ma Qing doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but he can't help the prestige of Liangguo, if he and Zang Ba change places, he will definitely avoid Ma Qing's influence from being transmitted to Yanxian County.

Otherwise, when the time comes, the people's hearts will be confused, and he will not dare to be stationed in Yanxian even if he wants to.

Just send out a sentence, 'Take the head of Zangba, and open the city to offer a thousand gold,', do you still need to fight this battle?

After all, now in Xuzhou, the least favored thing is that these small princes who were originally entrenched in Xuzhou, with the two behemoths who dominate the north and south of the world all join this war, there is no resistance in people's minds.

People with active heads are secretly wondering which side to join in this next war in order to protect their interests to the greatest extent.

Just as he was thinking about this, Ma Qing saw the galloping horse and had to scout and shouted: "General, general, the enemy army is attacking the front!" ”

At the same time, there were also several flying horses behind and shouted: "General, the rear army is being pursued by the enemy and is engaged!" ”

"Sure enough!"

Ma Qing clenched the arc knife and pulled it out violently, gritted his teeth and shouted to his subordinates: "Raise my great cool national prestige and kill them all!" ”

……

The remnant sun was like blood under Tongguan, and this land that was chosen to be devoured by people swallowed more than 8,000 lives on both sides of the battle in three hours.

But a battle of this magnitude is nothing in the whole world.

Because this is a battle that has not even been presented to the King of Liang.

Whether it is Huaxiong, the general of Tongguan or the generals who conquered in various parts of the Liang Kingdom, the situation of the outbreak of wars in various places is taken as an example.

At this time, the war reports from various places had not yet been compiled, the distance was far and communication was inconvenient, and people could not connect the war that had been brewing for more than a year.

Otherwise the sooner the horse jumps.

The subordinates of the Liangwang Mansion only had information about the situation on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and they relayed it to the Liangwang without any difference these days. For Jizhou, there is only a short sentence, General Guan and Youzhou thief Liu He confronted each other under the Great Wall of Saibei.

The war in Xuzhou was protracted, and the rebellious army in Jizhou was not fighting, so their battle reports had to be sent faster, and the battle reports in Tongguan were because of this sudden outbreak of war, and the horse's hooves of the messenger had not even run out of Sanfu.

The battle at Tongguan came too quickly.

Ma Yue once admonished Du Ji to implement the explicit regulations of respecting the county and governing the county in various places within the Liang Kingdom, which was detailed to how the magistrate should deal with different people and different things...... In the past, it was closer to the rule of man, whether a county's taxes were good or not, and whether the people's hearts were high, were all tied to the shoulders of one person, and there was a great deal of arbitrariness in the way of officials.

But now in Liangguo, every official will hold a new thick scroll to read for more than a month at the beginning of his tenure, and then strictly follow the charter, as long as he is literate and a pig will not do too badly.

It was suggested that Liang Guo could also compile a book of generals according to the laws of war, telling the generals how to defend the territory, but Ma Yue did not agree.

Because war itself has a great deal of randomness, victory or defeat is not a fixed pattern in many battles, as the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Governance can have models and templates, but if there are templates for wars, once they are circulated...... The enemy will be able to anticipate every step.

In fact, fighting a war is like playing chess in many cases, and most of those who only want to make one move are losers, and dispatching troops is also a similar game method.

If the opponent finds out the routine, most of them lose.

Longdu, Liangwang Palace.

"Your Highness, why don't you make peace and coexist with Jiangdong."

Although people have expected it for a long time, when the prelude to this big war begins, there are still many people who cannot accept it.

Those who can ascend to the Longdu Palace are all well-known figures in the upper echelons of the Liang Kingdom, but even if they are, there will be people who do not look forward to war.

Like what...... Zhang Ji.

The so-called benevolence of the doctor, what Zhang Ji can't see the most is the loss of life, so he tries his best to avoid war. However, he is afraid that no one cares about his suggestion in the Liang Palace.

Ma Yue naturally didn't agree with this statement in his heart, but he still said patiently: "I can't make peace, now that my Liang Kingdom has the upper hand, if the Jiangdong people get Xuzhou, it will fall into a longer war." ”

As soon as Ma Yue's words came out, he would naturally be echoed by many courtiers, and Yang Feng below also said: "At present, Youzhou is waging war against Jizhou, and it is not fighting because Liu He was not killed back then, and Jiangdong's General Xu is afraid that it is still not enough, so he asked His Royal Highness to send reinforcements to Xuzhou." ”

For a time, the palace discussion was chaotic, some wanted to send reinforcements to Xuzhou, some Chen said that he would transfer the Western Regions to the southern battlefield, and some people asked Dong Zhuo to advance eastward.

Ma Yue looked at his court and suddenly remembered how he felt when he participated in the court meeting in Luoyang...... It's just that it's his own palace!

The composition of his palace council members is very different from the three dukes and nine kings in the palace of the Han Dynasty back then.

It's all-encompassing.

There are Liu Bad, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Ji who are craftsmen, Zhang Shiping, who are businessmen, Yang Aruo, and who are outlaws, and who are generals and captains.

In fact, this palace discussion only started because of Liu Zhang's private letter, he wanted to ask the officials at the palace meeting what they thought about this war, and he wanted to see if he had made unsafe suggestions to himself, and he wanted to find out the person he needed to be careful with.

But there is no result yet, so this palace discussion is meaningless.

If it is to ask about military and political affairs, he prefers to discuss privately in the palace.

"What kind of world do you think the people want?" With a smile on his face, Ma Yue said to the ministers: "The people want peace, the merchants can travel freely and are not restrained and looked down upon, the rangers can drink and have fun, the doctors and craftsmen can open medical halls and treat the sick, and the generals will protect their families and defend the country. The people never wanted war. ”

"Even the generals don't really want war, and they don't want war either." Sighing, Ma Yue said: "The six kingdoms of Qin and Ping first, the great unification covers all the ages, and it is born by war and ends with peace. Qin died due to violence, and Gaozu raised troops to build a strong Han. If there is no war, poverty is better than being separated from one's wife, and hardship is better than being uprooted from one's homeland. ”

"There is no such thing as eternal peace, nor is there such thing as endless war. Peace cannot be exchanged for peace, peace is exchanged for greater war, and war is for a longer peace. Why are you standing here? If it was in the past, all the monarchs, including Lone, would not stand in the palace of Liangzhou to discuss politics! Ma Yue narrowed his eyes and said: "Because in the past, the pillars of the Han Dynasty were scholars, eunuchs, and relatives who controlled the government, and the warriors fought hard but could not exchange much glory...... But your very existence heralds the collapse of the once inherent political bloc. Who are we? We are a cool country that started with swords and soldiers! ”

They are the most powerful military group in the world right now, Da Liang!

"Jiangdong has existed for too long, and Liu He has lived to the end...... Lone will never seek peace, defeat them, and collect all the land of the world, and the talents of the kings should not be consumed on the road to fight for the world. Ma Yue squinted his eyes, in the somewhat humble palace, behind him was a map that symbolized the whole of Asia and even larger, waiting to be completed, and his hand pressed on a few cases and said: "Gu wants to conquer the most vast territory, this war has begun!" ”
