Chapter 412: The Northern War

After all Yuzhang County was taken down, Sun Yang was also able to breathe a sigh of relief, and at this point, Chaisang was completely safe.

There will naturally be consumption of war, although these two battles did not last too long, but the consumption is also quite huge, sure enough, there will be a gain, there will be pay, now Jiangdong's territory is pieced together, in no special circumstances, Jiangdong will not use force again in a short time, it's time to stop and accumulate strength!

During this period of time, the trade routes were restored, and the continuation of the business policy in Jiangdong was extremely covetous to the merchants, and it was only in the past few months, as the most developed business in Jiangdong, Wu County, the business travel from all over the country has increased significantly, so the scene is even bigger than before, after all, only Wu County adopted this open policy before, but now it is the entire Jiangdong land!

In fact, most of these merchants are not self-employed, almost all of them have the shadows of major families behind them, and the reason why they are collectively stationed in Jiangdong is also very simple, business is also a large part of the income source of their families, and Jiangdong basically has no restrictions on what they trade, as long as they do not violate Jiangdong's policy, they trade anything, and the government will not care!

In addition to the explosive growth of merchants, the population of Jiangdong has also ushered in a good growth, according to the statistics of the government, the population under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong is almost two million people! This number means that if Jiangdong does not expand the army now, it can completely pull up an army of 300,000 people!

This number can be described as extremely staggering, even if most of the people have no combat effectiveness, it is a deterrent to put it there! You must know that looking at the whole world, there are no more than five princes who can gather so many troops!

However, Sun Yang naturally would not do such a stupid thing, Jiangdong's standing army is not much, it is around 50,000, and the rest are basically in Tuntian, after all, Jiangdong can't afford to raise so many troops, and it doesn't need so many troops for the time being, but if the big war comes, in less than a month, Jiangdong will definitely be able to gather 100,000 troops!

The south is now at a halt, but the north and the Central Plains are not peaceful.

Yuan Shao, who returned to Jizhou to expand his power, soon began to fight with Gongsun Zhan, who occupied Liaodong, as for the purpose, it was naturally to compete for the fat of Youzhou.

Youzhou is actually not particularly famous among the big states in the world, but it is the front line of the Han people and foreign conquests, and it is a very good horse breeding ground.

Yuan Shao's idea is very clear, his goal is to plot against the Central Plains, but Youzhou is in his rear, once he goes south, Gongsun Chan of Liaodong will never be a bystander, if he is not careful, she will have to lose her old nest Jizhou, so if he wants to plot against the Central Plains, he must first solve the trouble, take Youzhou, and even destroy Gongsun Chan of Liaodong to be safe!

Gongsun Chan is Yuan Shao's trouble, how can Yuan Shao not be Gongsun Chan's roadblock? After returning to Liaodong, Gongsun Zhan's ambition has also increased a lot, and he now has tens of thousands of elite iron horsemen, which is also an extremely terrifying force in the world, of course, he will not satisfy a small Liaodong Taishou!

He also wants to go south and chase the Central Plains!

But his way to the south was completely blocked by Yuan Shao, so if he wanted to go south, the first thing he had to do was to defeat Yuan Shao, as long as he could exterminate Yuan Shao, he would be able to jump into the dragon gate and go straight to the Central Plains, and no one could stop him!

As a result, the people of Youzhou ushered in a disaster, since ancient times, the biggest loss is not the war, but the innocent people!

At the beginning, relying on the powerful cavalry, Gongsun Chan once made Yuan Shao suffer a lot, and he lost a lot of troops and generals, and he was very passive.

Although the cavalry is strong, there are many ways to deal with the cavalry in the land of China, and after suffering Yuan Shao, he began to try to avoid fighting with Gongsun Chan in the field, but began to fight a war of attrition with Gongsun Chan with the help of Jiancheng, which is where his Yuan Shao's confidence lies, and his logistics strength, even Dong Zhuo, who occupies the righteousness, cannot be compared, and the heritage of the great family is unimaginable!

Speaking of which, Gongsun Chan is also a head iron, and he doesn't care about Yuan Shao's war avoidance, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's shrinkage, he actually scattered all the already small forces, seized all parts of Youzhou, plundered resources, and didn't take Yuan Shao, a dormant tiger, in his eyes at all!

Soon, Gongsun Chan tasted the bitterness, and Yuan Shao, who was ready to go, found an opportunity, gathered superior forces, attacked from all directions, and finally wiped out nearly half of Gongsun Chan's troops!

Gongsun Zhan, who suffered heavy losses, withdrew from Youzhou in a hurry, not only was most of the men and horses gone, but to make matters worse, even the resources that were robbed before were cheaper than Yuan Shao, which can really be said to be a loss to his wife and soldiers!

In the first battle of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan almost lost the heritage of Liaodong, and it is foreseeable that at least ten years, Gongsun Chan will not be able to go south, after all, Liaodong is a bitter cold land in the north, a barren place, surrounded by foreign races, the living environment is very poor, and the strength is not so easy to recover.

What's even more infuriating is that the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat of Youzhou spread to the alien races who had been cleaned up by him before, and those alien races who had been suppressed by Gongsun Chan all the year round could still bear it, tearing off their arms, they called friends and gathered a large number of troops, intending to kill the Han generals who had brought them countless pressures, so as to lay the foundation for them to go south to the Central Plains and plunder the resources of the Han family!

But what they never expected was that even though Gongsun Zhan's subordinates suffered heavy losses and their strength was greatly reduced, they still won more with less, and killed those alien races who wanted to take advantage of them without leaving a piece of armor!

The blood-stained Gongsun Chan is a real god of war at this time, and he scares the courage of those aliens!

Sure enough, Gongsun Zhan's reputation as a broken general was not blown out, even if his vitality was greatly damaged, even if he had just experienced a big defeat, he was still the tiger, leading the men of the Han family, making those aliens frightened and unable to resist!

When Sun Yang learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh a little, he knew that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the whole world was in chaos, the foundation was still there, and there was no defeat in the war against foreign races, almost all of them were crushed! Let those aliens not dare to have the heart of the border!

Those who commit me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!

Although Sun Yang is now a descendant of Ying Qin, he is very uninterested in the Han family, but the Han here is not the Liu family, but the Han people of the whole world, even now, Sun Yang still has his Han identity in his bones, even if he wins the world in the future, the Han people will not become Qin people, because the identity of the Han people has been deeply rooted in the land of China, which is a symbol of the Chinese people!

But the heritage will be exhausted one day, who would have thought that a hundred years later, Han'er would become a slave of a foreign race, and the land of China would be devastated in the army of foreign races!

Sun Yang knows all this, but he will never let this moment appear, his goal is that Huaxia will be at the top of this world, and Han'er will become the master of this world!
