Chapter 640: Running South to spare your life

As a result, Zhang San's beautiful vision has not had time to imagine, Guo Yaoshi sent someone to ask for surrender, Zhang San is not familiar with this famous general in the late Northern Song Dynasty, this guy first descended to the Song Dynasty, and as a result, the Jin Kingdom came and lowered the Jin Kingdom, and finally helped the Jin Kingdom to defeat the Northern Song Dynasty, which can be described as a real slave with three surnames.

Although Zhang San hated this person very much in his heart, but militarily speaking, his surrender could at least reduce the losses of many soldiers, so Zhang San named Xu Guanzhong and talked to him about surrender, Xu Guanzhong rode directly into Youzhou City, and I don't know what to say, Guo Yaoshi went south with his army the next day.

Zhang San naturally knew what Xu Guanzhong said, and chased all the way, and the Great Song Dynasty also stationed 80,000 musketeers in the north, but after scattering in various cities, he had no strength to intercept Guo Yaoshi, Guo Yaoshi went all the way south to directly surround the Daimyo's Mansion, and then used explosives to blow up the gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, and actually took the Daimyo's Mansion in less than ten days.

Of course, the defenders of the Daimyo's Mansion also brought him nearly 20,000 losses, but he didn't care about this at all, the Qi State was chasing behind, and he took these cities one by one in front, so the entire Hebei of the Great Song Dynasty fell one after another under his blow.

In the end, Guo Yaoshi's only remaining 60,000 cavalry met with the Great Song Forbidden Army again in Shanzhou, the two sides did not negotiate this time, Guo Yaoshi directly started fighting, 60,000 cavalry desperately charged and rushed away from the Great Song Dynasty's musket array, and the Song army of 100,000 people fled back to the city of Lanzhou Less than 20,000, the Great Song Dynasty was suddenly frightened.

As a result, Guo Yaoshi, who had just won the battle and had not yet enjoyed the fruits of victory, fled west under the pursuit of the Qi State, passing through Jinzhou, Taiyuan and Daizhou successively, and was finally blocked by the Qi State in Daizhou and surrendered to .......

This vigorous pursuit battle enabled the Qi State to take most of the entire Hebei and Shanxi regions, Zhang San was still very satisfied with this, compared to the Liao State, Guo Yaoshi brought him greater gains.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty will not give up, and immediately ask Qi Guo for it, how can Zhang San vomit out what he has eaten in his stomach now, and immediately refuse, and it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to not let go of a fart in the soft, and immediately organize the troops, and the two sides began to exchange fire fiercely on the border.

As a result, the 200,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty fought by the Yellow River for a month, received a report for help every day, and went to 100,000 a month later, and there were only 160,000 left.

Zhang San doesn't have anything to do with this, let's fight first, anyway, the Liao War is almost done, and when I free up my hand, I must give Da Song a ruthless one, let him be honest for a while.

Besides, after Zhang San occupied the entire north, the next step was to establish the Great Han, and he just relied on this war to get rid of the identity of the subject state of the Great Song Dynasty, but before repairing the Great Song Dynasty, he had to deal with the Liao and Jurchen affairs clearly.

Now they are surrounded in the Liaodong Plain, and I believe that this problem can be cleared up in a year or two under the attack from three sides, but at this time, all wars have basically stopped, because winter in the north is coming again.

Zhang San was busy with the deployment of troops to deal with civil affairs and other issues in various places, and after sorting out the problems of the western territory of the Liao State, the Liao State controlled the west to the west side of Jinshan, and Zhang San had to send troops to occupy these places, and the Mongolian cavalry would move west to occupy that side after the year.

In addition to bordering the Great Song Dynasty to the south, Zhang San now also borders on Western Xia, and Zhang San can't understand how such a small country survives between the two powerful countries of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and what does it rely on?

After reading the intelligence, I realized that I relied on poverty! Poor people are not uncommon! The few good pastures there could not support the huge army of Western Xia at all, so the main task of Western Xia every year was to rob.

However, it is an obstacle to the opening of the Silk Road for Zhang San, although Zhang San now has a maritime freight channel, but in general, Northern Europe and Central Europe and other places are still not navigable, so the land Silk Road still has its special value, at least to support the prosperity of cities along the route.

Therefore, after the destruction of the Liao State, Zhang San's tentacles extended to Central Asia, and for the next Central Asia strategy, Zhang San needed to rely on the Silk Road to join, so Western Xia became one of Zhang San's next goals.

Next year, Zhang San's main task is to repair the Yellow River dam, and to further limit the scope of activities of Liaojin, as well as to take back the original territory of Liao, extending thousands of miles on the sea for Zhang San has no concept, but when Qi and Mongolian cavalry border, Zhang San began to incorporate these people, only to know that these people are really poor.

The alien cavalry will be reorganized, and the six generals will also be redistributed, and they will be stationed in different divisions, the north is too vast enough to accommodate the ambitions of these people, and next year the Han Empire will be established, and there will be the first batch of feudal states under Zhang San, a real feudal country, not a city like before.

However, the vastness of the north has caused an unprecedented challenge to the national strength of the Han Dynasty, which was previously concentrated in one place, and Zhang San's money was smashed down, and Shandong and Hebei prospered rapidly, but now Zhang San's big money may only be able to turn up a wave.

Therefore, all winter in Youzhou City, how to effectively control the north, how to strengthen the rule of the north, and how to prevent the nomads from becoming big again, these are all problems that Zhang San must face now and for a long time in the future.

The defense of the grassland can only rely on cavalry, and the large-scale garrison of cavalry requires areas rich in water and grass, Zhang San now has a general idea, that is, to take the city as the lock, the trade route as the chain, the grassland is divided into blocks, and the Han army is scattered and stationed in these cities.

When there is a warning signal, they will gather together to unify the enemy, and when there is no warning signal, they will disperse their forces to avoid excessive logistical pressure, Zhang San's plan was proposed, and the General Staff began to study it, and it is not an easy thing to build a city on the grassland.

But fortunately, Zhang San put forward a new concept of the city, that is, a wallless city, without the huge project of building the city wall, the pressure to build it is much less, but how to defend against the assault of the grassland cavalry without the city wall?

The city wall is indeed not too much of an obstacle for the current Han Dynasty, but with this wall, the cavalry cannot enter the city, and without this wall, the people in the city cannot be steady.

In the end, the ideal could not defeat the reality, and Zhang San had to agree to the low wall plan of the General Staff, which was to dig a trench two meters deep and five meters wide around the city, and then pile the earth on the inner side to form a two-meter-high earthen city wall, so that the enemy cavalry could not raid the city, and the soldiers had to rely on the defense.
