Chapter 324: Huainan Battle

"But!" Subu Chiti added: "The soldiers from Hetao and Monan have a lot of thoughts about the north. This matter must be resolved, otherwise it will be difficult for the army to decide in the long run! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan's expression condensed slightly, and he sighed: "It has been more than three years since the soldiers who have followed the Lone Southern Expedition for a long time. Three years of time, fighting outside the home, bloody battles, is too long, the soldiers have the heart to return, understandable. I didn't notice this lonely moment, this time passed too fast! ”

Liu Yuan sighed with emotion: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Next, there should be no war in Guanzhong, and the ministers discussed it, and ordered the soldiers to take turns to return to the north to visit, in order to comfort the pain of their relatives. I don't know the king, what do you think? "Subu Chiyi said.

Liu Yuan pondered, weighed for a moment, and shook his head: "Guanzhong is far away from Hetao and Monan, and the road is far away, so it is inconvenient to travel back and forth. It was laborious and time-consuming to have each soldier return north in turn. If there is a change in the four realms, don't look at the current Guanzhong is a little safe, the military strength cannot be reduced, if there is a change in the four realms, it is easy to deal with it. This, lonely and untakable! ”

"What does the king mean?" Seeing that Liu Yuan seemed to have a plan, Xu Bu Chiyi asked.

Liu Yuan's eyes were firm, and he turned his head to look at Xu Bu Chiyi and said, "I want to move all the relatives of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition into Sanfu for resettlement. Including the Han soldiers of Bingzhou and Hedong, the same! ”

Liu Yuan's decision opened the prelude to the large-scale migration of the Hu people in the north. The land of Guanzhong is enough to support millions of people, and if the relatives of the Xia army are all moved, it will be hundreds of thousands. It can not only fill the lack of population in Guanzhong, but also enhance Liu Yuan's heritage in Guanzhong and strengthen his control over this land.

Liu Yuan also turned all these households into world soldiers, and every household was a soldier for generations, fighting for Liu Yuan. According to the control of their relatives in the vicinity, the Chinese army can also be controlled as "hostages" when they go out to fight, but of course it is difficult to express this thought.

As for the Hu-Han contradictions caused by Hu Min's southward migration, Liu Yuan was not too worried. On the other side of the Hetao, it is also a mixed residence of Han and Hu, and now the Hu people graze and the Han people farm, which is quite "harmonious".

There are a lot of Qiang and Hu Ke in Sanfu, and Hu and Han have lived together for so long, and they are not unaccustomed to it.

And Liu Yuan's move to the south of Hu Min is also preparing for the move of the capital to Chang'an. Liu Yuan sent a message to Meiji early and prepared to move south, but from the news from Lanzhi's side, not many of the Meiji nobles were willing to come south. Lan Zhi was in Meiji, and the handling was a little embarrassing, so he had to report to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan is also ready to take coercive measures against this, and anyone who dares to disobey the will of his Xia King, no matter who he is, will be swept into the garbage heap of history by him.

……

When Liu Yuan was farming in Guanzhong and began to move south, Huainan had been fighting for a long time and finally began to enter the final stage.

Since Yuan Shubei's army against Cao Cao was defeated and returned to the south, Chengguo, which originally had the image of stability, was completely shaken. Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong clan, was irritable and panicked, and contained thousands of defeated soldiers, with more than 10,000 defenders, to resist the Cao army under the city.

More than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Cao army were stationed outside the city of Shouchun, which brought great pressure to the Yuan army in the city, and the morale of the army was unstable, the people's hearts were uncertain, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. Fortunately, Shouchun Chengjian and Yuan Shutun had a lot of food, so he forced the generals to stick to it to the death before they resisted. Cao Cao tentatively attacked a few times, but when he saw that Shouchun still had a certain ability to resist, he did not waste his soldiers' lives to attack the fortifications.

When he arrived in Shouchun, it was already the biggest breakthrough in the battle against Yuan, besieging Shouchun, cutting off Yuan Shu's connection with the rest of the foreign soldiers, and making it an isolated city. Ling took out his energy and sent Yu Ban to lead the troops to solve Chen Lan in Runan.

He led thousands of soldiers and horses in Runan, and harassed Cao's army many times, and Cao Cao naturally would not let go of this threat behind the bones. Yu Ban lived up to Cao Cao's high expectations, and with only 3,000 troops, he fought three battles in a hurry, repelled Chen Lan and counterattacked into Runan. By this time, the Yuan army in Runan had declined.

Hearing that Yuan Shu was besieged, Ji Ling of Liyang received Yuan Shu's edict and hurriedly led the army north to rescue. In order to defend Sun Jian, he left a lot of soldiers and horses for Le, and Ji Ling's five thousand elite soldiers, not more than half of them came to the north, so that Hefei was defeated by Cao Chun and Shi Lian. In this battle, Cao Cao painstakingly compiled and trained 600 tigers and leopards to ride, and made great contributions.

There was no hope of going north, Sun Jian of Niu Zhu had moved, Ji Ling was helpless, and led the defeated troops to return south and retract to Liyang. On Shouchun's side, Yuan Shu was trapped, but at least he could hold it, and if Sun Jian's northward crossing was successful, then the Zhong family would really be over.

Outside the city of Shouchun, the Cao army set up a village with its back against Huaishui, the camp was strict, and the soldiers were trained to be elite, and the Yuan army in the city was firmly watched. Our army had the upper hand in the battle, but the siege had been in place for several months, and it was impossible to break through, and the atmosphere in the camp was also restless.

At this time, although he was still under the banner of rebelliousness, after the stage of righteous indignation, Cao Cao was already fighting for himself and expanding his strength.

Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, and the princes of the world did not discuss it, in fact, he already represented the righteousness of the Han Dynasty, and it has faded more and more rapidly. To the world, the impact on him Cao Cao is not as great as before. Others call themselves emperors, kings, and dukes, but he Cao Cao is also a little uncontrollable.

In the big tent, Cao Cao promoted the account to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, news came from Chen Deng of Guangling that Sun Jian wanted to send an army to cross Guangling and enter Jiujiang to attack Yuan's army. Chen Zhijun didn't dare to be specialized, so he wrote to ask for instructions! Xi Zhicai coughed a few times and reported.

"Humph!" Cao Cao was furious when he heard this: "This Sun Wentai, our army fought hard in the north and forced Yuan Shu into this realm, he wants to pick peaches!" He is in the Niuzhutun army, with the elite of the Jiangdong Naval Division, if he does his best, the Yangtze River cannot be crossed! Suddenly, I'm afraid I'll just wait for our army to do its best! ”

"What the king said is very true!" Cheng Yu said coldly on the side: "Sun Wentai is ambitious, and he must be greedy for Huainan, but he is afraid that it will come, and it is difficult to drive him across the river." Moreover, the ministers are worried, if he is released into Guangling, will he attack Guangling? ”

Cheng Yu's words were full of jealousy and distrust. Sun insisted on being a public man, his ambition was obvious, and his strong personality and enterprising spirit always brought heavy pressure.

"I don't know what the king means, how to reply to Sun Jian?"

"Let him come north, Yuan Shu's heart to defend the city is resolute, and there is no image of unsupported in the city! The fierce battle has come to this point, and he doesn't want to drag it out any longer. Lone also didn't want to waste the lives of the soldiers in vain to break the city, let him come and attack Shouchun together! Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Order Chen Deng, so that you can guard against Sun Jun." Although Sun Jian will not do unwise things, he has to guard against it! ”

"At this time, breaking Yuan's technique is the first thing, and Sun Jian will worry about it when the time comes!" Cao Cao said coldly.

"If he, Sun Jian, dares to be an enemy of the king, my Central Plains soldiers will drive the king. The last general wants to see if his Wu Guoshui army will be weak when he goes ashore! Xiahoudun stood up and said loudly.

"Yuan Rang Zhuang!" Cao Cao couldn't help but applaud when he heard this: "I, a soldier of the Wei army, galloping through the Central Plains, will I be afraid of his Jiangdong pawn?" ”

"Please rest assured!" The atmosphere was mobilized, and the generals shouted in unison.

"Ziyang, what is Zhang Xun's reply?" Cao Cao asked Liu Ye, the chief bookkeeper under the seat.

"Back to the king, Zhang Xun intends to move, but he is still hesitating. However, as long as Yuan Shu is broken, it will come to vote! Liu Ye responded.

"Over there in Lujiang, just leave it alone for the time being!" Cao Cao was thoughtful.

Zhang Xun was appointed by Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Lujiang, and with his weak brigade, he resisted Huang Zu and Cheng Pu in Shu County, so that they could not advance an inch, which was quite difficult. Cao Cao moved his heart to love talents and sent someone to say that he was coming.
