Shi Kefa did not go to rest, and began to hand over military and political affairs after dinner.

What excites him the most is that even if the three armies of the empire are coordinated, he can also command them together, which is the most powerful force in the empire. It can be said that in the future, when the prince controls the three armies of the empire, he will become the head of the empire.

The next day, after leaving Chen Zhong to cooperate with Shi Kefa to coordinate the armies, Chen Xiong also took 30,000 Janissaries to inspect all parts of Hebei. Of course, the main purpose is to plant seedlings in various places and release the energy of living beings.

The planned route this time: the first stop is all over Hebei, then from Shanxi to Guanzhong, and finally enter Chu to return to Shandong, and then the Praetorian Guard returns to the imperial capital of Guangzhou.

It is true that Guangzhou is too far south, but by the time the Great Voyage broke out, Guangzhou was right in the center of the four seas.

The emperor was to take 30,000 iron guards with him, not because he was afraid of being assassinated, but because he was going to march in his new territory: mainly to intimidate the gentry and landlords everywhere.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the most intimidating. The iron guard, who looks like an ordinary person and is unusually indifferent, is most suitable for appearing in front of ordinary people. After all, the grass and wood soldiers and stone men are heavily ridden, and they are very scary at a glance.

This planet is armed with a parade, not an armed scary, so the Iron Guard is just right.

……

After resting for two days, the Chudi Group Army also began to move north to Guanzhong.

Liang En's Sixth Army remained in Hubei, and the other five armies merged with the Third Army, the Hanxi Army, to form the Northwest Group Army.

The commander of the group army was still Chen Nan, deputy chief of the general staff, while Chen Chang, Lin Hu and Li Dingguo were deputy commanders.

When the Third Army and the Hanzhong Army entered Guanzhong, the Manchu and Mongolian warriors fled one after another, and the rest of the Qing soldiers either fled or surrendered. Fortunately, there was a serious problem of bandits in various parts of Guanzhong, otherwise the 120,000 people of the two armies would not have been able to send even a single shell.

The Han army in Chu suffered serious losses in battle, and had to recruit troops all the way, and at the same time, some green battalion soldiers were also selected to join the Han army. Soon the number of Han army losses in battle was replenished, and even a few thousand wounded soldiers would return to the team after a month or two.

The Northwest Group Army had seven main armies, totaling about 430,000. Among them, 70,000 cavalry, 210,000 firearms, and more than 10,000 artillery are not included in the whole number.

By the time Chen Xiong was about to enter Guanzhong, the supplies of the Northwest Group Army had just been raised.

Perhaps in order to prevent the emperor from following the expedition, the group army headquarters immediately ordered a three-way attack on the northwest, so that Chen Xiong couldn't say hello if he wanted to.

The 1st Han Army and the Eastern Han Army formed the Northern Route Army, which mainly recovered the old land of Sanwei and Hetao in Ningxia. The Hetao was originally a Han land, but it was occupied by nomads for a long time.

The Northern Route Army, with Chen Chang as its commander, faced the enemies of the Western Xia tribe and the Mongol tribes of Hetao.

Lin Hu's Second Army and Luo Hu's Fifth Army, as well as Zhang Shou's Hanbei Army, totaled 180,000 horses to form the Northwest Central Route Army.

The Central Route Army was jointly led by Chen Nan, commander of the group army, and Lin Hu, deputy commander, and the enemies of the Central Route Army were the Xiliang tribes, which were composed of various tribes, including Han Chinese, plateau people, and Western Xia people, Mongols and other ethnic groups. However, the main enemy of the Central Route Army was the Turpan State, which occupied the western section of the Hexi Corridor.

Lin Jiading's Third Army and Li Dingguo's Western Han Army, with a total of 120,000 horses, formed the Western Route Army.

The Western Route Army was commanded by Li Dingguo, which was also personally assigned by Chen Xiong. The main task of the Western Route Army was to recover Qinghai, at least to the front line of Xiningwei.

The Western Route Army faced the fewest enemies, but it was also the most dangerous! After all, I don't know if the King of the Plateau will pour the troops of the plateau to fight back against the Han army. The number of people is not the most terrible, the most feared is altitude sickness.

However, the Western Han Army and the Third Army were both composed of southwestern Han people and various tribes, and they were better adapted to the plateau than other Han armies. The Han people in Lingnan went south to open up the wilderness of Lingnan, and their adaptability was stronger. The tribes living on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau can also be more adapted to altitude sickness.

Northerners breathe hard, but they don't use as much oxygen in the air as southwesterners. This is also the reason why the southerners can hold their breath underwater for a longer time, and the warriors who have lived in the southwest mountains and forests for a long time have a stronger ability to adapt to the environment than the plains. This is also the reason why many southwestern soldiers were stationed on the northwest border in later generations.

When the Han army entered Guanzhong, Ningxia Sanwei, Gansu Minmeng and the plateau people had already sent troops to prepare for war.

The number of Xixia people in Ningxia Sanwei is only more than 700,000, but they are extremely united. When the peasant uprising broke out in the Ming Dynasty, the Tangut people began to crowd out the Han Chinese, and hundreds of thousands of local Han people either died or fled Ningxia.

Today, the whole of Ningxia is the territory of the Tangut people, and these tribes with close ties to Central Asia are extremely disgusted with the Han Chinese.

The contemporary king of the Tangut people is the man of Shamen: Shahabab, the man of Shamen was originally the most loyal border guard of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that Emperor Wanli finally looked away, and the Han people who were directly ordered to be killed by King Sha Tian were killed by not 30,000 but 20,000.

"Heavenly King, the Han army, a total of 120,000 horses, set off from Yan'an Mansion, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Ningxia Southeast Wei (rearguard) in a few days!" General Hai Meng's face was serious, and his black and red face couldn't tell what mood he was in.

Sha Tianwang smiled faintly: "Haha! Is it only 120,000? The Han army is really arrogant, our Western Xia army has 300,000, and the Southeast Wei has 200,000. ”

"Heavenly King, this Han army is divided into three ways, and it really doesn't know the height of the sky. There were not many Han people in the northwest to support them, and the Han army, who was unfamiliar with the place, dared to divide their troops. Admiral Supolan couldn't help but laugh as well.

Yes, this kind of atmosphere is needed, Sha Tianwang nodded with satisfaction: "General Haimeng, you will go to the southeast guard in the afternoon to resist the Han army!" It is not allowed to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and as soon as the weather turns cold, the Han army can only roll back. ”

"Honorable Order!" General Haimeng was still indifferent, but there was no joy in his heart.

The Han army swept the world, how strong the Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry was, and the traitor green battalion was also a rare strong soldier, but when they met the Han army, they were all destroyed! However, with only 120,000 horses, he was still confident that he would prevent the Han army from entering the Western Xia Kingdom.

King Sha Tian spoke again: "Admiral Supolan, you immediately contact the Mongolian ministries, it is best to let them send troops from Hetao." I, the Western Xia Kingdom, am willing to work with them to destroy the Han army. ”

"Okay, the king's strategy is really seconds! When the Han army could not attack for a long time and was tired, there were Mongolian cavalry to cut off the grain and grass on the back road. In a timely manner, the Han army can be completely destroyed! Admiral Suporan couldn't help but get excited.

Sha Tianwang, who was covering his hair, nodded lightly: "After destroying the Han army, I will negotiate with the Han people to let them recognize the Western Xia state." If the northwestern countries can also defeat the Han army, we can even organize the northwest coalition army, and then the army of nearly one million will not be able to rewrite the pattern of the world. ”

This! All the ministers and generals couldn't help but fantasize that maybe they could still enter the Guanzhong and restore the glory of the Western Xia Kingdom in the Song Dynasty.

Admiral Supolan nodded again and again, and his saliva almost flowed out!

"Heavenly King, I'm going to prepare, I will set off immediately at the end of tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to move the Mongolian tribes."

Sha Tianwang smiled indifferently: "Go!" You just have to say that the survival is cold, and the Mongols will not sit idly by. ”

"Honorable Order."

As soon as General Su left, the clever Sha Tianwang began to come up with a clever plan again: "Eliminating the Han army on the North Road is nothing, which of you is willing to send an envoy to Turpan State?" ”

Hey? Everyone immediately became puzzled, Turpan is far away from the west, so they are far away and can't quench their thirst!!

Seeing that everyone was confused, Sha Tianwang immediately showed a lonely smile!

It's cold in the heights! The world of smart people, no one can understand!
