With the lessons learned from the Silla Domain, the second time to send troops? Prepared, much more orderly and unhurried than at the beginning.

Grain, grass, equipment, personnel, means of transportation, etc., are gathered from the factory stocks of the states like a flowing stream. In a sense, it was also a parade march of the nature of a show of force.

The Liaodong Peninsula, where the Da Luo is located, is known as the "Three Great Peninsulas of China" together with the Shandong Peninsula and the Leizhou Peninsula. It can be said that the coastline is dense, there are many good harbors, and there are many islands.

For my group, it can be described as a very familiar place. Because it faces the sea on three sides and the north side, the northern boundary is the junction of the Yalu River estuary and the Liao River estuary, so it has a relatively closed security geographically.

Liaocheng Prefecture, where the ancient city of Liaojun is located, is located in the transition zone between the low mountains and hills of eastern Liaodong and the Liaohe Plain, with the pivotal position between the mountains, and at the same time guards the Liaodong Peninsula in the southwest and the Yalu and Sashui basins in the southeast, and the vast area north of the Datong River.

In this case, with the close exchanges, the merchant groups under the name of the Huaidong Commercial Bureau and the Shipping Department will often be required to transport goods deep into the interior, or to receive goods and purchase goods in a certain place in the interior. Therefore, there is already a certain understanding of the local geographical environment.

Because the northeast of the peninsula is adjacent to the Changbai Mountain, and the central part is the Qianshan Mountain Range running through it, therefore, most of the peninsula is low mountains and hills, resulting in a unique topography of short rivers and narrow river valleys.

It is also because there are many mountains and few lands, and the flat land suitable for cultivation is limited, which is only suitable for fruit tree cultivation and a certain scale of mountain animal husbandry, while traditional agriculture is not abundant, and the main crops are soybeans and sorghum. As a result, these places are not self-sustaining from local output, and are quite dependent on the output of coastal fisheries and the income from foreign maritime trade.

The hinterland of eastern Liaodong, where Liaocheng Prefecture is located, was originally the earliest, oldest and most developed area in Northeast China. However, because the Liaohe Plain, which was originally fertile and productive, was the first to bear the brunt of the mountainous areas of western Liaoning and the hilly lowlands in the north, after a long period of see-sawing, infiltration and invasion, it was almost damaged and could not provide stable output.

From this, we can see the signs of decline and weakness of Da Roche in recent years.

You must know that Liaojun, as the western town of Goguryeo in the past, has a natural geographical victory that is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the surrounding rolling mountain city system, it has repeatedly made Emperor Yang of Sui's Eastern Expedition army hateful.

In the heyday of the Andong princes led by the Luo clan in the past, they even used this as a springboard and a forward assembly place, under the banner of eradicating the usurper traitors, they slaughtered out of the mountains on a large scale, destroyed and sacked the counties in western Liaoxi controlled by the Andong camp of the Northern Dynasty, and invaded the north and south of the Yanshan Mountain Range where Pinglu Dao was located, and several times the troops came to Fanyang City.

However, it has never been able to gain a foothold, and has to withdraw with a large number of people, cattle and sheep before the heavy snow closes the mountains and the backup and supplies are cut off. During that time, the Northern Dynasty used almost most of the resources of the provinces of Hebei on the summer and autumn defenses of the Andong Domain.

A series of echeloned military towns and garrisons were set up to resist and guard against the buffer from the invasion of the Anton region, and the evolution of this strategic dominance was not until the powerful minister started with Anton, which was politically co-opted and divided through military strikes and weakening;

He also provoked and split the Northland Alliance, and after destroying the channels and openings of the Anton princes and the steppe feudal domains, the offensive and defensive momentum was gradually reversed.

Therefore, in the hinterland of Liaodong, which is the basic plate, it is impossible to provide output normally, and the Great Luo clan, which is the lord of the feudal alliance. They had to rely more on the princes in the southeast to provide daily money, food, taxes, and servitude. And once this big rear also has shakes and fluctuations, it will inevitably bring a series of repercussions.

But for me, this is just an opportunity, a reason to get closer to the relationship and obtain more benefits and development space.

On the third day of the first month of March, the original daughter's festival of the "Shangsi Festival", Mu Xinday, plus young men and women singing and meeting, Wang Ba mung bean can invite his arm to swim when he sees the right eye, and even make a good day for life with a private appointment, which is the day when yin and yang converge and all things breed in a year.

In the deep porcelain tone of Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang in the animal world, it is "spring is coming, and the season of animal mating has also arrived"

It is also an auspicious day for me to simply preside over the worship of the sea god and set off on the ship. In the neat and staggered trumpets and horns, the figure of no fish running up, the shining reflection on the deck, is the so-called "golden scales open to the sun" grand occasion and wonder.

Standing on the railing of the tail building, the largest shark-class armed transport ship, I watched the two small figures on the embankment waving goodbye vigorously, and finally disappeared into the horizon. I returned to the cabin with my wind-blown and somewhat numb dough.

But I found that the three who went with me as usual, it seemed that some of them became more reticent, even if I teased and teased, I was a little indifferent. Inevitably, it is a little boring, and the attention is refocused on the various advance reports and data carried on board.

Because there is plenty of preparation time and buffer, it is not as sudden as in the Silla Domain, so it is necessary to prepare as carefully as possible. Even the ships were requisitioned in the largest, newest and best condition.

We should make use of this period of time to carry out the adjustment of forward defense without affecting the general combat strength and basic service. From the battalion heads of each of the three major armies in the main battle order from one to five armies, a standard regiment was drawn from each and organized into four mixed battalions. In addition to my pro-direct battalion, plus the direct command of the teaching brigade, the pacesetter battalion, the artillery battalion, the hunting battalion, the capture and cruising regiment and other direct orders, each with half of the men and horses.

In the end, a small but complete elite force was formed, about 7,000 people, carrying enough rations and equipment for half a year to three months, depending on the situation. In addition, in consideration of the mountainous terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula, heavy equipment and larger vehicles other than artillery were reduced, and the equipment was reduced to pack horses as much as possible.

According to the prior arrangement, 2,000 of them will accompany me north to Liao County as a guard to help in the battle, while the remaining 5,000 people will be stationed in Duli Town, Liji Prefecture, as a backup and response just in case.

This is also the most basic requirement and bottom line of my trip.

Of course, as for Anton Roche's statement on the surface, it is that since the other side has the intention of borrowing troops, it is better to wait for the nearest place in the local area. Of course, the garrison should provide half of the daily supplies it needed locally, and purchase half of it itself.

Because of the smoothness and convenience of the sea and land, it is easy to go back and forth as long as it is a few days, and even if it is all provided by the Huaidong side, it does not necessarily cost more to the sweeping operations on the periphery of the front.

In addition, there is no need for outsiders to be humane, and on the other side of the strait, in Laizhou, Weizhou, and Zizhou, follow-up troops have also begun to a certain extent in spring assembly and mobilization exercises.

Of course, it is a routine spring local exercise, but it does not rule out that when necessary, the local main battle units and garrison battalions will be replaced and turned into reserves and back-ups that can immediately cross the sea and attack.

As long as there are suitable bridgeheads and landing sites, it is not difficult to double the size of the military on the Liaodong Peninsula in a few days.

Of course, for me, even if I don't have the opportunity, I can rise to the challenge according to the situation and create opportunities to achieve a certain appeal and goal when necessary. However, this kind of practice of choosing the appearance and long-term reputation is obviously the most inferior choice that has to be made as a last resort.

It is the so-called to move forward with courage, and make the most complete preparations and plans.

In a sense, the sea journey I walked this time was also the route taken by Luo Xian and Xue Song to lead the special army and climb to the sea to recover Anton.
