In the lower reaches of the Liao River, on the wall of Gaishan City, a roar like thunder resounded and echoed in the period. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Who... Who else. ”

"Who else dares to fight me."

Li Tieniu, the general who was the commander of the selection, was wielding the double-edged Xuanhua axe stained with blood in one hand, pulling the captured general flag upside down with the other, trampling on several corpses that had been cut in two, and roaring at the cowering faces of the remaining defenders.

Then, as if to provide a note and background to his claim, the roar and flames that flew from behind him exploded between the dying defenders in an instant, robbing them of the last shred of courage and confidence.

After a while, only the figures of the city kneeling and begging were left. Immediately afterward, the Blue Sky Pegasus Flag, which represented the former lord Da Luo, and the Wind and Thunder Flag of the Huai Army, fluttered on the first recovered city.

。。。。。。。。。。。

And near the coastline north of Jian'an Prefecture,

With the hustle and bustle of the sky, a long dragon lined up in several columns with no end in sight was winding between the undulating mountains and rolling hills in the distance, and the large and small banners of the purple lightning red flame seemed to grow out of thin air in a dense jungle, scattered over the transit camps and strongholds set up along the way.

Stepping on the beat of drums and beats, marching in groups in the wilderness where the ice and snow have not completely melted, and it looks lifeless and empty, but it also has a different mood and flavor.

Compared to what I had seen and heard before the last time I left, the situation seemed to have gotten worse after more than two years, and the road was full of empty villages and towns;

Even in the populated towns, there are people hiding in the ruins and ruins everywhere to survive, and the old and weak women and children with yellow faces and thin muscles can hardly see the figures of young adults; Obviously, the people who have the ability or strength have either fled to survive one after another, or have been taken away by nearby forces.

Therefore, as a follow-up treatment measure and policy. At the location after the army, it was followed by a large transport team and a group of homeless young people who had fled to the Liaodong Peninsula.

A group of former Luo clansmen led by Luo Sijin came out to provide relatively limited pacification and relief to the places along the way; The most important thing is to bring farm tools and seeds from Huaidi, organize them as soon as possible, and resume local spring plowing and sowing production activities as much as possible.

If there is still a shortage of manpower, it will be transferred from Huaidi in batches. In a sense, this is no less than the important task of forward operations and strategy, and a parallel strategy with military operations.

After all

This land in eastern Liaodong is not as good as Huaibei, even if the agricultural time is delayed, you can also interplant and replant some fast-growing and low-yield beans, wheat, melons and potatoes or something. Although it is located in the black soil zone, the soil is fertile, the farmland water conservancy development degree is high and the output is quite abundant, but because of the rainy and hot climate, the growth cycle of crops is longer; As a result, there is only one harvest a year, and if it is delayed, it is not only a problem of poor harvest and reduced production, but also a problem that can no longer be remedied.

After all, Huaizhen sent troops to sweep Liaodong so vigorously, not to let himself carry a big burden out of thin air to play the humanitarian rescue game.

The civil strife of the Luo clan has made the people under his rule suffer a lot, and even if ordinary people have any surplus, they have already been tossed clean; What's more, there are also self-reliant forces on all sides, which have raided and attacked each other for their own ambitions and desires, and have searched the place over and over again, but I am afraid that there is nothing left except a large number of screaming mouths waiting to be killed.

But if done properly, it can be done in a very short period of time by filling and restoring the gaps in the local area caused by the war; In the end, the authority of the ruling order and execution established by Huaizhen in the reconquest territory was quickly stabilized;

After all, for most of these war-torn people, the biggest thing is to eat a full stomach. It is precisely at a stage where you can easily buy and gather people's hearts with a lower price and superficial means. It is used to complete a smooth transition to the right of dominance and basic name, with minimal daily impact and turmoil.

As for the old clan of the Great Luo clan led by Luo Sijin, as the price of cooperating with the army in Liaodong and even Andong Province, as well as compensation and compromise conditions after the recovery of Liaodong;

That is, in the case of the gradual abandonment of the titles of the governors and protectors of the princes of Anton, which they could no longer keep and maintain, and the corresponding dominion and title transfer; Ensure that the life of the remaining Luo clan for generations is safe and the basic income of land and property, as well as the development opportunities of officials and soldiers in the Huaizhen system;

Of course, this part is in the form of clan property and domicile land, which is managed and operated by Luo Sijin, whom I trust. After all, Huaizhen is not a place to do good deeds unconditionally or to raise lazy people and parasites.

But that's all for another time; At present, they are still needed as a façade and signboard to continue to maintain the skin of Roche's management of Anton; It is used to cover people's eyes and ears to create the illusion that Luo is still in charge of Anton, and by the way, to deal with the possible reproaches and criticisms of the southern court, as well as various follow-up actions and means.

"Report."

A voice interrupted my musings again.

"Liaoxi's Zhe Keshi Department has gone out to Dongshan City. Won seven places in the vicinity of Changqing and Fenglingyi. ”

"Report."

"The Dusang Department of the East Road has entered Tongzhou in the north, connecting Tiecheng, Tangchi, and Zhemu City."

"Report."

"The former army's pioneer car battalion encountered thousands of enemy Xiangping troops in Lingming City, Haibei Prefecture, and broke it with a drum."

It seems that so far, the effect of the sudden dispatch of troops at the turn of late winter and spring continues to play a role of surprise;

Therefore, the main force of one road, two partial divisions and one odd soldier have not yet encountered decent resistance or large-scale resistance, and the number of specific casualties has always remained within the tens of digits.

But for me, it's best to be able to pass through in waves; But I still hope that the enemy can be stimulated and oppressed and gathered, so that I can be crushed by lining up and shooting.

If they were to be scattered scattered all over the place and carry out frequent resistance and attacks, I would have to spend a little more effort and effort

"Report..."

Yu Hou, who was in charge of the performance, reported again

"Fifteen city lords and nine governors of Yaozhou, Chenzhou, Luzhou, and Xiongyue Prefecture,"

"The soldiers and civilians of the department and the elders of the department have come to the army to double as a teacher."

"There are more than 100 cattle and 4,000 sheep and pigs, 8,000 stones of wheat and beans and 30,000 quintals of forage."

"There is also a silver silk worth 5,500 taels, and a variegated wine of 4,000 catties."

Of course, most of these people were the ones who were supported by the buffer zone and goodwill forces on the three states of the peninsula when Huaizhen withdrew from the army, or they simply sent people to bring them over to change their banners and vests, and to act as internal responses and wedges in the local area.

With these leading parties and internal leaders as a precursor, it can be said that on the third day of arriving at Jian'an Prefecture, the four prefectures and more than ten towns in the northern part of the peninsula had been laid out, and there was almost no resistance, and it was easy to go down in one go;

Then, with their assistance and guidance, the partial division of the East Road took Muzhou under their control as a springboard, and within two days, they easily took Laizhou, Baozhou, Kaizhou, and Dingzhou in the southeast corner, which are adjacent to the upper reaches of Wugushui, although they are all small counties in Xiazhou, which are narrow and widowed;

However, it completely connected the small and medium-sized princes of the Wugu and Yalu river basins with the coastal areas of the peninsula under the direct control of Huaizhen and the enclave of Bo Shan City at the mouth of the Shuangjiang River. As the so-called Huai army's soldiers pointed out, they all collapsed or were invincible, or they turned against the city to welcome each other.

Therefore, in the name of the vassals, they also raised about four or five thousand feudal soldiers, and doubled the number of people. Although most of the equipment and training are rather rudimentary, with only a symbolic role of power and spectacle, I still need them as role models and demonstrations to reduce potential resistance and hostility in Liaodong.

Therefore, on the way to the army, some of them were properly received and comforted, and benefits and prospects were promised; It is also the necessary means and process to stabilize the rear and flanks.

And the main force where I was continued to gallop in, pointing directly at the vicinity of Liaodong City, which had been stolen by the forces belonging to the Boluo Society. This is also where I expect the main battlefield and the decisive strategic priority. (To be continued.) )
