840. Determined to drive the Northern Expedition
Only by controlling the thirteen states of the world can it be regarded as truly controlling the complete world, so now Zhu Wei's new dynasty has the strength to recover Youzhou, so why leave a regret.
Previously, after Zhu Wei won the victory in Puyang, eliminated Cao Cao, and took over the so-called central court of the Han family, Shi Weiduan, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Shi Xie, the head of the snake in Jiaozhou, also sent letters to Zhu Wei, expressing that Liangzhou and Jiaozhou were willing to be attached to the central court controlled by Zhu Wei.
In particular, Jiaozhou Shixie's side has already sent troops to recruit Zhenrong, who fled to Jiaozhou before, so this time when he sent a letter to Zhu Wei's side, he also sent Zhenrong's head and a large number of rare treasures to show his sincerity to Zhu Wei's control of the central court.
Who let a brother of Zhu Wei die on the Jiaozhou side before, Shi Xie was very worried that Zhu Wei would not be able to accept him because of this.
However, Zhu Wei obviously let Shi Xie go generously, at least on the surface, so before Zhu Wei's northern expedition to Yuan Shao, although Liangzhou and Jiaozhou were still only dependent, they had fallen into the hands of Zhu Wei at least nominally.
In this way, up to now, Zhu Wei has indeed controlled the twelve states in the world, and even one Youzhou is still not under control, but Zhu Wei believes that the Three Kingdoms game system will not allow himself to delay forever.
This special system obviously has a certain sense of self-awareness, before the system will choose a self-selected military general reward that is conducive to Zhu Wei's unification of the world at a critical moment, and after Zhu Wei eliminated Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he also had a new state and county territory income, but this reward did not continue to appear, which also shows that the Three Kingdoms game system thinks that Zhu Wei no longer needs this kind of reward help.
But since the Three Kingdoms game system can analyze such a realistic situation, how can it not know the current strength of Zhu Wei to unify the world.
Zhu Wei feels that the Three Kingdoms game system is still tolerating Zhu Wei's delays, just because Zhu Wei's new dynasty has just been established, and it will take some time for the people of the world to cohesion.
Zhu Wei clearly remembered that in the requirements of Mount Tai to sacrifice to the sky and summon the green dragon, there was a premise of gathering the hearts of the people of the world to condense the dragon ball.
And now this Three Kingdoms game system has asked Zhu Wei to carry the jade seal to Mount Tai to worship the sky, so it is likely that the jade seal is an important prop to absorb the people's hearts and condense the Dragon Ball, after all, this jade seal is also a treasure recognized by the system, and it is now equipped by Zhu Wei in the character interface of the Three Kingdoms game system.
So now the Three Kingdoms game system is just urging, but it doesn't use any radical urging, because this people's cohesion has not yet met the requirements for summoning the green dragon.
Otherwise, as long as this Three Kingdoms game system reminds Zhu Wei in Zhu Wei's mind every moment of every day, it will be enough to make Zhu Wei irritable and do the thing of summoning the green dragon.
So Zhu Wei after thinking about it again and again, he can be regarded as making up his mind, anyway, sooner or later he will go to Mount Tai to worship the sky, it is better to go to Youzhou first, and after the world is unified, he will go to Mount Tai to worship the sky when he returns.
After making a decision in this way, Zhu Wei recruited several cabinet ministers to explain his intention to drive the imperial conquest of Youzhou and the matter of Mount Tai sacrifice to the sky when he returned, and then under the arrangement of the cabinet ministers, he began to prepare for the battle.
Of course, Zhu Wei's personal expedition to Youzhou this time is not only to deal with the three Yuan brothers, but also to conquer the Wuhuan and Xianbei people in the north.
It can be said that Zhu Wei's northern expedition to Youzhou this time is also a deterrent to the surrounding alien races, and now the Southern Huns have weakened after the two wars in Bingzhou and Yizhou, and now the strongest alien race is the Wuhuan and Xianbei people on the side of Youzhou.
Relatively speaking, the Wuhuan people are quite honest, but the Xianbei people are a little noisy in the north, so Zhu Wei's main target in this northern expedition to Youzhou is actually the Xianbei people.
According to the report sent back by Ma Teng, although Ma Teng also made some Wuhuan tribes in Youzhou, the three Yuan brothers still had a good relationship with several Wuhuan tribes, so this time Zhu Wei conquered the three Yuan brothers, maybe some Wuhuan tribes would also send troops to help the three Yuan brothers fight.
In that case, Zhu Wei will naturally destroy these Wuhuan tribes unceremoniously, and the purpose of Zhu Wei's northern expedition to Youzhou this time is to completely solve the hidden dangers of alien races in the north.
Anyway, now Zhu Wei has the assistance of the Three Kingdoms game system, so he doesn't have to worry about the logistics and transportation of grain, grass and materials, so that Zhu Wei can reduce the consumption of a lot of wars.
After all, the most troublesome problem in the north of Youzhou for the conquest of Wuhuan and Xianbei people is not the problem of the army's combat effectiveness, but the problem that it is difficult for logistics supplies to be delivered in time, so now Zhu Wei can use the Three Kingdoms game system to transport strategic materials such as grain, grass, and weapons, which is equivalent to solving one of the most difficult problems.
This is also the reason why Zhu Wei did not oppose the central government too much after he proposed the imperial conquest, otherwise how could the new dynasty that Zhu Wei had just established let the Son of Heaven easily go to the front line of the battlefield.
At that time, Liu Bang's siege of the White Horse was the best warning, and now if Zhu Wei is also surrounded by foreign races, then the prestige of the new dynasty will be greatly damaged.
But Zhu Wei has the assistance of the Three Kingdoms game system, and he has the so-called blessing of heavenly fortune to the outside world, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about this problem
Therefore, after making preliminary preparations, Zhu Wei ordered 30,000 troops from Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion, 20,000 troops from Huang Zhong's Qiqi battalion, 20,000 troops from Tai Shici's Dijiang battalion, 20,000 from Wei Yan's Bifang battalion, plus 20,000 troops from his Chinese army Tianyu battalion, a total of 110,000 troops from Luoyang to the north to conquer Youzhou.
During the nearly six months since the establishment of Zhu Wei's new dynasty, Zhu Wei also reorganized the army that he had brought back to Luoyang, mainly reducing and dividing the strength of each battalion, and then increasing the strength of the local army and selecting some generals to serve as the chief generals of the local new army.
For example, the Xionglu battalion originally had an establishment of nearly 50,000, but now Zhu Wei asked Ling Cao, the deputy general of the Xionglu battalion, to divide nearly 20,000 troops into an independent battalion and transfer it to the garrison of Yuzhang in Jiangdong, so that the Xionglu battalion of Pang Yan has a regular army of 30,000.
However, it is also because Pang Yan is the general of Tianwei under Zhu Wei's account, and the Xionglu battalion is the first army under Zhu Wei's account, so Zhu Wei retains the establishment of 30,000 people in the Xionglu battalion, and the other battalions and armies can only maintain an establishment of 20,000 at most.
It can be said that after the reorganization of the army in Luoyang, Zhu Wei set up more than a dozen new armies and stationed them in various states and counties in the world.
Of course, the scale of these new armies has been restricted to a certain extent, and most of them are also garrisons stationed in the localities, and at the same time, Zhu Wei also made new names for each battalion and army, and gave new barracks flag totems, which is completely the new atmosphere of the new army of the new dynasty.
It can be said that except for Pang Yan's Xionglu Battalion, the other battalions are basically named according to the legendary beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which also represent the characteristics of each battalion to a certain extent.
According to Zhu Wei's conception, the army establishment he has set will now be fixed at a fixed number, and under normal circumstances, no new army establishment will be added, unless Zhu Wei adds territory and expands his territory and new states and counties are included in his rule, then the army establishment will be increased to sit in the new states and counties.
In addition, the supply of grain, grass and materials for the garrisons in various places will be uniformly allocated by the central imperial court, and will not be restricted by local influences.
The army must not be directed and transferred by the chief officials of the local prefectures and counties, and the local prefectures and counties can only make requests to the generals of the local garrisons in case of emergency, so that they can first dispatch troops of less than 2,000 troops to carry out urgent military operations such as rebellion and thieves.
At the same time, in Zhu Wei's military sketches, such as Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and other historical generals controlled the army, Zhu Wei would not send troops to the local garrison.
They will be Zhu Wei's direct control of the Central Army, stationed around Luoyang on weekdays, and when necessary, they will be the main force used by Zhu Wei to conquer the Quartet......
