Thus began the war between you and the Begi in the second year.

During the year, the Han army fought on the northern front mainly in three directions. You are the middle road, Yang Biao is the east road, and Sun Hao is the west road. The three roads suddenly divided and merged, supporting each other, acting as reserves, echoing each other, and repeatedly adopting the tactics of double or multiple attack targets similar to those of the Western and American operations, so that the Beji people could not look at the east and the west, and the head could not take care of the tail, and no matter how they dealt with it, they would inevitably be damaged.

The war on the southern front also made significant progress the following year, and by the end of the year, the new army of the Northern Han had occupied about one-third of the territory of the Southern Han.

By the time the New Year of the third year arrived, the Northern Han had become the de facto power that occupied the largest land area in East Asia.

Since the battle in the Western American steppes, the Begi people have been disappointed to find that it is difficult for them to see you on the battlefield again. You rarely get involved in specific battles anymore. You seem to have relegated to the top of that vast chain of command. You seem to be hidden at the top of that mist. They now hardly have a chance to besiege and hunt you on the battlefield again.

The Khan was angry and thought that from now on you would stay higher and higher at the top. Unless he can completely defeat the Northern Han army, he will never have a chance to kill you again.

He didn't know that you were deliberately trying to make him so angry. And you're forced to do that. Because your attacks are becoming more frequent and ferocious, many times you have no possibility of fighting in person.

There is one thing worth mentioning. During the operational phase of Sijin Grassland, you carried out frequent north-south transfers against the new army of the Northern Han Dynasty. Just as Wu Shun's troops, Zhang Bao's troops, Sun Zhanming's troops, and Sun Haocheng's troops were transferred to the southern front to participate in the war many times, Chen Shouye, Wu Renming, and other troops who fought on the southern front were also often transferred to fight on the northern front.

You have frequently switched between the north and the south for two reasons: First, you hope that all units of the Han army will have strong combat effectiveness in all weathers, so that the generals of the Han army at all levels can be tempered and improve their adaptability in various battlefield environments. The second is that you want to evenly distribute all kinds of war achievements, and do not have a certain person or certain people who are too prominent in the war, so that you can reduce the threat from the army in the future for Liu Shen and our children and grandchildren.

Only Yang Biao has always been left by you on the northern front. You have never let Yang Biao fight on the Southern Front. You can't predict when you're going to suddenly fall down and never get back up, so you always need someone who can replace you at any time to stay on the Northern Front. You also have another consideration, you have to prevent Yang Biao from making any military exploits worth mentioning in the process of defeating the Southern Han Dynasty.

However, Yang Biao always believed that he had been left on the northern front because he was the most important general on the northern front who could not leave for a while. He is glad that he has such an important position. He always only understood military affairs, not politics. He later thought that he also had the strength to compete with Liu Shen for the world, but in fact, he didn't have it at all. He never had.

The first rain of spring swept across the steppe with a cold wind.

You marched hard against the wind on the steppe.

The carriage in the Chinese army column stopped again.

Wu Shun turned around and hurried over. Xie Shuangcheng waited for him on the side of the road on horseback.

Wu Shun said: "How is the situation? ”

Xie Shuangcheng shook his head and said, "No." We can't go any further. As soon as the car jolted, he convulsed in pain. ”

Wu Shun said: "Is the military doctor here?" ”

Xie Shuangcheng said: "Yes." I'm trying to figure it out. ”

Wu Shun wiped the rain on his face. He looks at you. He couldn't bear it. He turned his face away.

He said to Commander Liu of the Military Medical Department: "With so many doctors in the army, is there no way to help him?" ”

Commander Liu of the Military Medical Department said: "Alas, we have used all the methods that can be used. ”

Wu Shun said, "Why don't you go get that box and give him painkillers?" ”

Commander Liu of the Military Medical Department sighed: "No. The general disagreed. He said that it was not allowed to be used when it was not in the battle and did not affect the outcome of the battle. ”

Wu Shun holds your hand.

He said to you, "Use painkillers." Young master, please agree to their use of painkillers! With tears in his eyes, he said, "Don't stay up like this." ”

You close your eyes. You pushed Wu Shun's hand away with difficulty.

Wu Shun choked up and said, "Let us help you." ”

You say, "You have another place to help me." ”

The Chinese army stagnated in the wind and rain.

Sun Haocheng hurried from the front team on horseback. Wu Shun got out of the car to greet him.

Sun Haocheng said: "What is the situation of the general? We, should we change the battle plan? ”

Wu Shun said: "I just asked him what he meant. What he meant was that the battle plan remained the same. He asks you to lead the whole team to continue to act according to the original plan. You must hurry to the rendezvous point with General Yang Biao and annihilate the Whigs of the Beji people in one battle. ”

Sun Haocheng said: "What about him? What about the general? ”

Wu Shun said: "I took some people to stay and guard him. When he gets better, I'll escort him back to base camp. We meet at the base camp. ”

Sun Haocheng said sadly: "It's all because I have a negative mission and haven't been able to find more painkillers." ”

He said, "I will definitely try my best to find it again!" ”

Wu Shun sighed and said, "He has reached the limit of what he can endure on his own. If the disease progresses, there must be a way to help him. He couldn't do it himself. He couldn't do it on his own. Do you understand? ”

Sun Haocheng said: "Understood. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely find more medicine! ”

Sun Haocheng said: "This is already enemy territory. At any moment, enemy hordes may swim into this area and encounter you. There are few of you, so be careful. The safety of the general is in your hands, and he must not be allowed to have an accident, and you must return to the base camp safely. ”

Wu Shun said: "Don't worry. I will protect him with my life, and I will never let his safety be compromised. ”

Wu Shun said: "The general also told you to be careful. The leader of the Whigs was cunning and cunning, and his fighting style was very treacherous, and even Ulinden Muhan was a little afraid of him. Do not take it lightly, but guard against him at every turn. The general specially explained to General Yang Biao and you: everywhere! Everywhere! Every little place should not be neglected to beware. Defeating the Whigs would be equivalent to cutting off one of the Khan's arms in the middle of the steppe, and it was very important to drive them to Mobei. If the Han army is defeated in this battle, the war will be extended for at least another half a year. ”

Wu Shun said: "The general told you that Yang Biao was more than brave in battle, and he owed a little bit of caution. After your round, you must remind the accusation from the side, and bring the general's explanation to Yang Biao word for word. ”

Sun Haocheng said: "Yes." Sun kept in mind and obeyed the general's orders. Sun led the team to set off. Take care of yourselves, and make sure you return to camp safely. ”

Wu Shun clasped his fists and said, "You guys should also take care." Good luck with success! ”
