The Han army encountered the Shijie Zhao State generals before very rarely had any twists and turns, basically a straightforward method of engagement, how many troops drove directly over, and then the two armies set up a position, even if there was a strategy, it was only at the level of battlefield tactics, and the strategy at the campaign level was not seen once. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time he faced Yao Yizhong was different, he came to the north bank of the Yellow River section of Qingzhou, and did something that seemed quite complicated at the beginning, which was different from other Shijie Zhao Jun. That distinction is directly reflected at the level of activity, such as collective consciousness and so on.

The Qiang army in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County was estimated at 400,000 by the Han army, which was a number including the old and weak, women and children, not all the soldiers, in line with the custom of the Hu people when they were fighting together.

"There are about 120,000 on the banks of the Yellow River. From a distance, it is basically young and strong, and from the costumes, it seems that the Qiang nationality is the majority. ”

Who made the Han army look forward to the telescope here? Even if it is hundreds of miles away from the Yellow River, you can actually see it more clearly with a telescope.

"Recently, Yao Yizhong ordered a strict investigation and cleanup, and our scouts have become more and more difficult to operate on the north shore."

Scouts on the north bank of the Yellow River relied on carrier pigeons to transmit information to the south bank, and carrier pigeons were actually used for message transmission during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In repeated wars, scouts are the first to enter the battlefield and even reconnoiter in the enemy's area of activity, and they are the most dangerous soldiers.

A qualified scout is not easy to train, every scout is definitely a veteran of a hundred battles, and the death of a qualified or even excellent scout will not have much less impact on the army than hundreds of recruits who have died.

In view of the fact that Yao Yizhong began to target the Han army scouts, the recent losses of the Han army's scouts are somewhat staggering. Originally, there was a fog in the reconnaissance of the north bank of the Yellow River, and the large number of losses of the scouts directly made the command center of the Han army even more unclear about the intelligence of the Qiang army.

Liu Yan had to ask: "Is it possible that the river will be crossed before the flood season?" ”

How so? The number of troops placed by the Han army along the Yellow River was somewhat smaller, and no matter how you look at it, the troops under Yao Yizhong's command occupied an absolute numerical advantage.

Because of the lack of intelligence, no one could tell Liu Yan the answer with certainty, and the Han army could only strengthen the necessary combat preparations, and the reconnaissance along the coast also needed to be strengthened.

As the situation on both sides of the Yellow River became more and more tense, some of the rest of the news continued to gather to Liu Yan.

First of all, Li Shou, the emperor of the Cheng Han Dynasty, died, and his eldest son Li Shi succeeded to the throne as the new emperor. Li Shou finally came to a conclusion, called Emperor Zhaowen, the temple name Zhongzong, and was buried in Anchang Mausoleum.

After Li Shi became the new emperor of Cheng Han, the trade originally negotiated between Cheng Han and the Han Ministry had twists and turns, and Cheng Han and others in Xia Mi were recalled. And there was an incident that Li Shi was rumored to re-engage with Shi Hu. So, Li Shi's recall of Cheng Han and others who are in the next secret can be explained?

In addition to Cheng Han's side, there is also new news coming from Tongguan. The Ran Qin army actually went out of the pass to fight an offensive battle, first from Xiaoguan to defeat the Shijie Zhao army outside the pass, waiting for the Shijie Zhao army outside Tongguan to pay attention to the battle situation at Xiaoguan, someone under Li Nong's command rebelled, and the Ran Qin army in Tongguan was killed again, but the Ran Qin army in Tongguan was ambushed by Fu Hong when they went out of the pass.

In a short period of thirteen days, the Ran Qin army and the Shijie Zhao army outside the pass were once again bloodied, and the 50,000 Ran Qin troops who went out of the pass only fled back to the pass with more than 3,000, and the loss of the Shijie Zhao army should be 70,000 or 80,000, of which the beggar army bore sixty percent of the casualties. In this way, the Ran clan's Qin army really killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred.

Of course, the Han Department, which has been paying attention to the east of Liao, also got the news of Murong Yanjun, who had been in the cat for several months, was to take Murong Han as the commander, and led an army of 40,000 as the vanguard to open the direction of Youzhou, what is more strange is that Murong Han was seriously ill on the way, and he stopped after a good march to Lingzhicheng on the edge of Bashui.

There were capable people under Shi Bin's command, and they didn't know how they learned the news that Murong Han was seriously ill, so they rushed to attack Murong Yan's army with light cavalry, defeated Murong Yan's army that had lost its command in Lingzhi City, and forced Murong Yan's army to escape from Bashui.

Murong Han was crossing the river in his illness, and it seemed that he accidentally fell into the water, although he was rescued, his condition worsened because of this, and he died of illness not long after.

The fact is that Murong Han had already suffered an arrow wound when he fought with Yuwen Xianbei, and if history has not changed, he will be killed by Murong Hao.

This time, it was Murong Han's idea to lead the troops to the expedition was Murong Yanguo's captain Feng Yi, what he wanted was for Murong Han to go out with illness, and for Murong Han to die of illness, it was always much better than Murong Han giving death to Murong Han.

Speaking of which, Feng Yi probably didn't expect Shi Bin to take the initiative to attack, Murong Han was dead, but Murong Yanjun also lost nearly 10,000 yuan.

Because of such a thing, Feng Yi was not less blamed by the Murong clan, if it weren't for Murong Haoxin's re-sealing of Yi, Feng Yi's fate would definitely be very miserable, after all, Murong Xianbei has infighting, but Murong Xianbei, who is on the rise, still attaches more importance to the love of the army, and will not do the kind of thing that discards more than 10,000 troops in order to kill one person.

When the overall intelligence was summed up, Liu Yan was puzzled and found one thing, the seemingly stormy Shijie Zhao State did not dispatch the army of the Qian tribe, the counterattack of the Ran clan Qin State was quelled by the servant army, and Murong Yanguo's first southward journey was easily thwarted by Shi Bin...... It doesn't seem to work very well, does it?

Yes, it's just a partner, definitely not an ally.

It's not that Liu Yan looks down on those countries, it's just that they are all competitors, the last time all parties met for an alliance, Murong Yanguo didn't talk about any alliances, and some just agreed to attack Shijie Zhao State together, which shows that Murong Yanguo also knew that there was no need for an alliance, but the Ran Qin State and the Zhang Liang State had similar proposals, but the Han Ministry did not confirm it.

The policy of non-alignment is Liu Yan's decision, and it is not appropriate for the Han Ministry to form an alliance with anyone at present.

Murong Yanguo is ready to go south again, with Murong Hao personally recruiting, Murong Jun as the former army commander and Murong Ba as the deputy general, the number of the whole army should be 220,000?

Murong Yanguo's move was 220,000, which was not a small number, after all, when it swept through the eastern periphery of Liao 1, Murong Yan's army was only 60,000 at most, and 220,000 should be almost overwhelming.

[It seems that Murong Xianbei really doesn't look down on the bitter cold land in Liaodong 1, and he really plans to go south even if he gives up Liao1dong. Liu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, they and Yao Yizhong were still in a stalemate across the Yellow River: [If there is no victory or defeat with Yao Yizhong, but Murong Yan's army captures Youzhou, and the Murong Yan army that captured Youzhou will definitely continue to march into Jizhou, and the time will ...... But it's troublesome! 】

There is absolutely no doubt about the strength of the Murong Yan Kingdom, which can be seen from the fact that they will seize two-thirds of the territory of the Shijie Zhao Kingdom after the collapse in the future.

The Shijie Zhao army on the Han army was not the main battle force, but the native army of the Qian people fought with the Murong Yan army more than once, and each time it seemed to end in the victory of the Murong Yan army? From this point of view, who can deny the strength of Murong Yanjun? No one!

By the beginning of June, the Yellow River section of Qingzhou was full of floating wood and debris, and this was not all that the Qiang army had left behind, most of the wood and debris were actually floated out of the sea.

One thing is more funny, the wood that floated out of the sea was basically fished up by the ships of the Han Department, and stored in the warehouse and became part of the system's resources.

Liu Yan was actually shocked when he saw the data, they just collected the part of the sea, there are nearly two hundred miles of wood floating everywhere in the Yellow River waterway, how many forests have the Qiang army cut down, and what impact will such a large-scale destruction of forests have on the soil quality on the north bank of the Yellow River?

On 13 June, the Qiang army finally made a new move.

"Are they going to lay a plank?"

"Undoubtedly, yes."

Look at the north bank of the Yellow River, which is densely packed with people, and some nailed wooden planks are simply piled up into a mountain.

Some soldiers were trying to lay the nailed planks on the surface of the river, which were about two feet four long and one zhang wide, and when they were placed on the logs of the river, they shook slightly and immediately stabilized.

The first plank was placed and stabilized by the iron cable, and bursts of cheers were shouted on the north bank of the Yellow River, indicating that the Qiang army's plan to cross the river was effective.

The Han army standing on the south bank of the Yellow River, they looked at each other, and the Qiang army seemed to have the intention of crossing the river, but ...... The garrison on the banks of the river did not receive any orders.

The Han army did not have many troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, only about 8,000, and what they needed to defend was at least 600 li of the river, so how many li should there be a Han army?

Yao Yizhong is personally supervising the feasibility of the plan, and after the first plank is placed, then the second and third...... I don't know how many planks have been placed and stacked repeatedly, the plank bridge with a width of about ten zhang on the bank of the river extends out for about thirty zhang, and there are already cavalry sent to repeatedly trample and gallop, and the plank bridge looks like it only shakes slightly, but it does not fall apart.

"What is the movement of the Han army on the other side?"

"Back to the army master, the movement of the fast horses of the Han army is quite large, but no new Han army has been found for the time being."

Yao Yizhong should have been happy to get the answer, but what he had in his heart was only confusion.

There are Han troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, and there are about 1,000 on the other side of the bridge they built, only so much, and there are nearly 20,000 in Dongpingling?

"It doesn't make sense." Yao Yizhong said in a tone full of confusion: "Why didn't Liu Yan stop us from crossing the river? ”

"Our judgment is that Liu Yan has insufficient troops on hand." Hu Yansheng is a Huns, but he is the tiger wing general of Shijie Zhao, and this time he is serving under Yao Yizhong: "There should be no mistake, after all...... Liu Yan really needs to use too many soldiers. ”

General Tiger Wing, General Long Xiang, etc. are all considered to be Lie Generals, which is the so-called miscellaneous general. Miscellaneous generals need to have another military rank, that is, a governor or something, in order to have real actual military power. The appearance of miscellaneous generals was a characteristic of the late Three Kingdoms, and it continued until the time when the Hu people were in power, and they generally encircled some people.

Of course, Yao Yizhong knew that Liu Yan needed to use troops in many places, and he also knew that there were 80,000 Han troops on the Juyeze line alone, and even about 60,000 Han troops in Yuzhou, and there were 140,000 at this time, and the Han Department had only risen for nearly five years.

According to intelligence, the total number of Han troops was only 200,000. There are already 140,000 Han troops on the western front, and then there are about 30,000 Han troops on the other side of Qinghe County and Pingyuan County, so Liu Yan used 170,000 at once, and the Han occupied area also needs garrisons, so it seems that there is really nothing wrong with Liu Yan in his hands!

Although he was able to deduce those, Yao Yizhong really felt that something was wrong, and it was a kind of conclusion that could be drawn without much thought.

"They ......," Yao Yizhong said in an extremely strange tone, "they want us to cross the river!" ”

The Han army of about 30,000 is absolutely unable to defend the section of the Yellow River that is nearly 1,000 miles long, and even 300,000 troops are unable to defend such a long section of the Yellow River, all because it is too long and too long. To defend such a long section of the river, it is first necessary to have a strong and large number of inland water troops, and then to spy on the position of the invading army, so that it can be effectively defended, not passively waiting.

Is there only one landing site for the Qiang army? That's obviously not possible. They are making a lot of fanfare here, but they are just experimenting, and once the river crossing plan is actually feasible, there are many slow flow areas in the Yellow River, and those sections of the river can be used anywhere as a crossing point.

"It's because they know that they choose to let us cross the river." Of course, Yao Yizhong knew that he would attack half-crossing, but it depended on how many river crossing points there were and how many troops crossed the river, and only a few river crossing points would be afraid of half-crossing and attacking, and the loss of many river crossing points was only a few. He asked, "I heard that the Han army is good at defending the city and fighting?" ”

Hu Yansheng nodded and said, "But...... Liu Yan did it too obviously, what made him have such confidence? ”

It is too obvious that Liu Yan came over as bait, and there is no strong city on the Dongpingling side, so that Liu Yan's behavior is very irrational.

"We need to cross the river." Yao Yizhong's inner helplessness is not enough for outsiders: "Any plan needs to be executed with strong military strength, and in the end, the soldiers have to work hard to fight for a victory." ”

It makes perfect sense that any war is a battle of iron and blood between the armies of both sides, and no matter what the plan is, no army to execute it is just a mouthpiece.

The Qiang army acted aggressively, and the intelligence was intensively gathered to the Dongping Tomb where Liu Yan was located.

"So, there are twenty-three river crossing points arranged by Yao Yizhong?" Ji Chang was looking at the map, which was the section of the Yellow River along Qingzhou, he looked at Liu Yan, who had no expression on his face, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, are we too risky?" ”

Liu Yan didn't speak, he was also looking at the map.

The Han army in Jinan County is really only 30,000, and there is no strong fortress here, and the Qiang army that is about to cross the river and fight has hundreds of thousands of ......, well, those virtual ones are not counted, how can there be 150,000 or 60,000 people who can participate in the battle, and will it be too big to use 30,000 Han troops to fight?

…… Divide... Cut... Line......

Pit, fortunately, there is a look, or it will fail if it is not automatically released. The reason is ...... Honor is set at the wrong release time, embarrassed! (To be continued.) )
