After eight years in China and five years of recuperation, Zhang Yi finally put forward the second Northern Expedition plan again in the first month.

This time, he felt that there were four lines of soldiers and horses, all the way for Wei Rui as the general, Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang as the deputy generals, and led an army of 30,000 to attack and merge the state from Hedong.

All the way, Xue Rengui was the general, and Lü Meng, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan were the deputy generals, leading an army of 50,000 to attack Liyang from Puyang.

All the way, with Su Lie as the general, Lu Guang and Zhang Xiu as the deputy generals, led an army of 30,000 to attack the Qinghe River from Eping, Jibei County.

All the way, with Tang He as the general, with Pang De, Yue Fei, and Shan Xiongxin as the deputy generals, he led an army of 50,000 to attack the Bohai Sea from Gaotang.

Zhang Yi sent a total of 170,000 troops, including 60,000 cavalry, which were led by Gao Changgong, Xue Rengui, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Shan Xiongxin and others.

After five years of rest, Cao Pi regained a lot of strength, and gathered 300,000 troops on the front line to block Zhang Yi's attack.

In Liyang, Cao Ren led an army of 100,000 under his command by Cao Xiu and Guo Huai. In Qinghe, Le Jin led an army of 70,000 under the command of Lu Qian and Wang Ling. In the Bohai Sea, Zhang Liao led an army of 80,000 people, and his command was dominated by Manzhong and Hu Qian. In Taiyuan, Cao Zhen led an army of 50,000 and had Zhao and Han Hao under his command.

In addition to the four places, Cao Pi also had two garrisons, Yecheng Tun 100,000, he himself was the commander, handed over to Sima Yi and Xiahou Ba to command. There were 80,000 troops in Zhuojun Tun, led by Cao Zhang.

Cao Pi is much stronger than the Yuan brothers, and he knows that his current situation is not very good, so he unites his brothers very much. humbly listened to Cao Zhi's opinions, and reused Cao Zhang, and selected many talents from many Xiahou and Cao clans to entrust them with important tasks, among which Xiahou Ba is a representative figure.

Without Cao Chun, Cao Pi lacked the generals to command the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the land of Sanzhou could not build the tiger and leopard cavalry on a large scale. Cao Pi used the money saved to build cavalry, and recruited Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan cavalry to defend Hebei.

Cao Pi's large number of cavalry did interfere with Zhang Yi's army crossing the river, especially the nomadic cavalry, their personal strength was strong, and with Cao Pi's support of the bow and arrow, it was even stronger.

However, when facing Zhang Yi's army, they were still a little powerless. After being disturbed, Zhang Yi's naval ships immediately lined up, and then the crossbow carts on the ship were horizontally on the north side of the ship, and thousands of crossbow arrows were fired, turning the nomadic cavalry on their backs at once.

Nomadic cavalry rarely wears armor, and even if they are armored, they can't withstand the fire of the ballista, as long as they are shot, they will either die or be disabled, whether it is a man or a horse, this is the result.

The nomadic cavalry retreated in fright, and then Zhang Yi's soldiers began to go ashore. After going ashore, he did not choose to camp, but set up a bow and crossbow array, and after the strong bow and crossbow were deployed, they advanced in the form of a phalanx.

If the nomadic cavalry came again, the overwhelming number of arrows would shoot through, and as many as they came, they would die.

In this way, Cao Pi's plan to intercept Zhang Yi's soldiers ashore with nomadic cavalry failed. The nomadic cavalry did bring a lot of harassment to Zhang Yijun, but it was just harassment.

After Zhang Yi sent out the army, he didn't pay too much attention, and it was too easy for such a lineup to defeat Cao Pi.

Zhang Yi is still more worried about his family now, Hong'er gave birth to a boy at the beginning of the year, and Lu Xun named him Lu Kang.

This made Zhang Yi a little worried, Lu Kang was born a few years earlier, and I don't know if he will be as good as he was in history. There may or may not be.

After his mother became a red child, her force value would definitely increase, not to mention more, about 90 would definitely be able to reach it. But Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to force, because Lu Kang, like Lu Xun, was a Confucian handsome, and the most powerful thing was in the military book and battle strategy.

Huang Er also chose a husband, a man from a poor family, named Deng Ai.

Yes, it's the Deng Ai in history.

"Deng Ai, Force: 90, Strategy: 97, Strategy: 91, Internal Affairs: 88, Education: 78, Diplomacy: 71."

This Deng Ai can be said to be a typical counterattack. Although he was born in a big family, he was from the Nanyang Deng family, and he was the same family as Deng Fang and others. However, his family has declined, his father died early, and his mother took him to even have problems eating. After Zhang Yi seized Nanyang, he recruited weavers in the Nanyang area, and his mother took him to Shouchun, raised him by weaving, and sent him to study in a private school in the government office.

When he grew up, Deng Ai successfully entered the graduate school because of his hard work and became a reserve official.

He met Huang Er when Huang Er was visiting the weavers, these weavers were all royal weaving houses, and Deng Ai's mother was among them. When I went to Deng Ai's house to condole, I was impressed by Deng Ai's filial piety and talent.

Huang Er is the daughter of a foot trainer, and the foot trainer does not have much education because his family is poor. Huang'er studied with Da Qiao, but she was not ashamed of her mother's lack of education at all, but she liked a simple life very much.

After falling in love with Deng Ai, the two knew each other for another two or three years before Huang Er proposed to Zhang Yi to marry Deng Ai.

Zhang Yi also summoned Deng Ai, and Deng Ai's performance was also acceptable, neither good nor bad. However, Deng Ai's future is broad, and Zhang Yi did not object, but made a marriage contract, and then appointed Deng Ai as the Yin Tomb Commander and let him try to manage the place.

The front line is in full swing, and Zhang Yi in the rear is still training a son-in-law for his daughter, and his heart is big enough.

But Zhang Yi can't be blamed, after all, he can't be blindly commanded in Shouchun, otherwise he will lose the battle.

None of these four armies needed him to worry about. Although Zhang Yi did not send them strategists, their own strategies were not bad, and the soldiers played better than anyone else, as long as they didn't hit the plan, they were basically flat pushes.

When the strength reaches a certain level, any conspiracy and trickery will not work, which is called one force to ten meetings.

When Xue Rengui faced Cao Ren, he completely revealed this side.

Although Cao Ren is also a general, his soldiers and horses are twice as large as Xue Rengui, and they are all veterans who have been recruited for several years. But in the face of Xue Rengui, he still took a defensive position.

Xue Rengui's combat ability in the field is too strong, he and Ma Chao each bring 10,000 cavalry, and it is the Buddha who blocks and kills the Buddha and the god who blocks and kills.

Those nomadic cavalry didn't believe it at first, and after gathering 30,000 people, they wanted to have a decisive battle with Xue Rengui. But in less than three days, he was brutally defeated by Xue Rengui.

Outside the city of Liyang, there were corpses everywhere, and ownerless horses were running around. Of the 30,000 nomadic cavalry, seven or eight were left behind, and the rest fled back to Youhe in fright, not daring to hear Xue Rengui's name at all.
