After the beginning of spring, the weather in the north is still so cold, and the heavy snow is still falling non-stop, so it is naturally impossible to migrate the Xianbei people immediately.

Liu Yi didn't wait any longer, leaving Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, two generals, together with Dian Wei and Tai Shici, to lead hundreds of thousands of New Han troops to return to the dynasty first.

Not including the tribal army of Xu Chu and Yi Yanqian, who had other tasks, and the army of Xinhanbian near Xianbei Mountain, there were more than 700,000 horses. In addition, there are tens of thousands of 200,000 reserve troops of the New Han Army transport team that came to transport supplies in winter.

Therefore, this time, the soldiers and horses of the New Han Dynasty who actually entered the northern forests and snowfields exceeded one million troops. If we add the men and horses from other aspects, such as the Gongsun Zhan Division, which has launched an attack on the Goryeo Peninsula, and the sailing New Han Army led by Gan Ning, as well as the military horses of the Gongsun Du Division, Liaodong, and the logistics troops that escorted materials out of the customs from Beizhou and Youzhou respectively, the total strength of the New Han Army this time is far more than 2 million men.

Such a huge military operation, in fact, is not just such a small number of people, it can be said that this operation, the consumption of manpower and material resources is incalculable, almost the entire New Han Dynasty for this one thing to operate. Seriously, at present, in addition to the fact that the New Han Dynasty can still do this, even Cao Cao, another powerful prince of the Han Dynasty, cannot do it. His power court did not have a solid enough economic foundation to ensure the economic strength of such a nationwide operation. If Cao Cao dared to make such a large-scale expedition, his national strength and economy would immediately enter a state of paralysis.

And what made the Han Dynasty even more desperate was the already trembling power princes. Even though the New Han Dynasty launched such a huge military campaign, it seemed that it had fought such a big battle with all its national strength. But the New Han Dynasty still had the strength to defend them strongly. In addition, there is also the advantage of surplus strength in various battlefields such as Xiliang, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and so on. Moreover. There were also victories one by one.

Let them find out helplessly and horrified one by one that their general trend has gone.

Don't look at this military action of the New Han Dynasty, it was only aimed at the alien races on the grassland outside the Guan, but not only suppressed the alien races outside the Guan, but also shocked the various forces and princes in the Guan.

Originally, it was a vigorous and vigorous action to conspire to overthrow the New Han Dynasty, but I didn't want to, but it became a talisman for all the forces and princes in the world.

Such a result. No one expected it.

For example, Sima Hui, the whole accident can basically be said to be planned by him and provoked by him. In order to destroy this outlier New Han Dynasty that rose out of nowhere, he took a multi-pronged approach, hoping to destroy the New Han Dynasty at one time. But he didn't expect that the alien race in Xiliang would actually rebel, and the alien race in the north would be so vulnerable.

What made him even more angry was that. In the end, he failed to convince Cao Cao to send troops to attack the New Han Dynasty.

However, Cao Cao is really not to blame for this. Because, Cao Cao's life is even more difficult. To blame. He has to blame that this seemingly huge plan has too many loopholes, or that it is poorly executed.

Those aliens didn't say anything, just said that Sima Zheng went to rob and kill the young emperor by himself. This incident did not succeed, and the New Han Dynasty was basically not affected. How dare Cao Cao send troops casually?

It seems that the shape of the new Han Dynasty seems unfavorable, but. What the actual situation is, only these princes in the bureau know in their hearts. Sima Hui may not be able to understand it.

To know. The territory of influence belongs to those princes, and the military horses are also theirs, and they have nothing to do with Sima Hui at all. If they listened to Sima Hui's words and sent troops to attack the New Han Dynasty, the success or failure at that time would only be borne by these princes, so it was impossible for them to unilaterally listen to Sima Hui's words and take action.

Especially Cao Cao, he had just suffered a loss from the New Han Army, and his vitality had not yet recovered, if he had not been completely sure of destroying the New Han Dynasty, he would not have been able to casually mobilize military horses to attack the New Han Dynasty.

The strength of the New Han Army in Luoyang is indeed not much, but those important passes have always been guarded by the generals of the New Han Dynasty, and there are many troops. Where did Cao Cao dare to casually tear his face with the New Han Dynasty? In particular, Sima Hui's plan was quickly crushed, and it was not realized as planned.

There is another one, the New Han Dynasty is now, but it is resisting the invasion of foreign races, and it is a foreign enemy who denounces the troubled Han people. Putting aside the various grievances between Cao Cao and Liu Yi, in Cao Cao's heart, he also hates foreign races.

Cao Cao is still relatively principled, even if he has no principles, he will cherish his reputation. If things are really as Sima Hui said, the invasion of the alien army outside the pass and the destruction of the New Han Dynasty, at this time, he Cao Cao also sent troops to act as an accomplice, then how will the world view him Cao Cao? Also, will his subordinate civil and military generals still be loyal to him and willing to serve him?

Cao Cao really didn't dare to do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall, and he couldn't afford that kind of consequence.

Therefore, the most Cao Cao could do was not to send troops to help the New Han Dynasty, and wait for the results of this great war. Be prepared in case the New Han Dynasty is really destroyed, so that he can snatch the fruits of the battle from it.

Of course, Sima Hui is also to blame for failing to assassinate the young emperor. If the young emperor can be stabbed to death and the new Han Dynasty fall into chaos, then Cao Cao may be able to coerce the emperor and declare that he will return to Luoyang, and blatantly seize the new Han Dynasty.

But now, Cao Cao really doesn't have to think about anything, needless to say. The great victory of the New Han Dynasty and the news of the destruction of the Wuhuan tribe in one fell swoop made Cao Cao immediately fall into a state of anxiety.

At this time, it was no longer a question for Cao Cao to consider whether to raise troops to attack the New Han Dynasty. Rather, it is a question of how he can protect himself.

But this question has been a question that Cao Cao has been thinking about in recent years, but there has never been an answer, and there is no feasible plan.

all these years. Cao Cao is also working hard to catch up with the strength of the New Han Dynasty as much as possible. However, the New Han Dynasty was like a galloping carriage. No matter how much he tried to catch up, he couldn't catch up. And has been left far behind by the New Han Dynasty.

Seriously, Cao Cao was already feeling more and more hesitant, and it was hard for him to imagine if the New Han Dynasty really transferred all its New Han troops to attack him Cao Cao, whether he Cao Cao would still have the strength to fight.

How so? The development of the New Han Dynasty is really too fast, right? It's hard to catch up.

If he failed to rise with the New Han Dynasty, then the ending was ...... Cao Cao shuddered.

In fact, it's not just Cao Cao. The rest of the power princes were also even more anxious. Their strength was far less powerful than Cao Cao's, they were not in a situation where they could be wiped out by the New Han Army at any time, and when they received the news of the New Han Army's victory, they were already in a state of great panic.

The news that the New Han Army once again wiped out the Wuhuan tribe and unified the northern prairie outside the Guanwai spread like the wind to the Han Dynasty. Let a few families rejoice and a few sorrow.

The people of the Han Dynasty are naturally happy. After all, the fight between the Han and the other is hateful. But it's accumulated over thousands of years. Now that they know that the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army have exterminated those aliens, everyone will be happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In this way, the prestige of the New Han Dynasty in the minds of the Han people is even more instantaneous and more direct. Some of the princely forces bordering the New Han Dynasty, the Han people in their spheres of influence, secretly moved into the range controlled by the New Han Dynasty. Defected to the New Han Dynasty.

For the ordinary Han people, they are more willing to live in a force with strong military power. At the very least, it will make them feel safe.

Something like that. And no one could have expected it. Even, many wealthy families in various parts of the Han Dynasty are making some preparations, that is, if the situation is not good, they will immediately submit to the New Han Dynasty, or, if the New Han army comes, they will return to the New Han Dynasty.

Anyway, the biggest impact of this Northern Expedition is that it has affected the hearts of the people in the Han world.

Among them, many small power princes, especially those who are more dependent on local wealthy families, have more or less been advised by the local wealthy clans, advising them to know the current affairs as handsome.

Not to mention, there are really many princes with small forces who took the initiative to send people to the official government of the New Han Dynasty bordering their territory of influence, wanting to discuss with the official government of the New Han Dynasty about their submission to the New Han Dynasty. This kind of thing is especially common in the Koto area.

In fact, don't look at the fact that the New Han Dynasty has now completely occupied the north of the Yellow River, as well as Silizhou, Xiliang, Northwest Desert, Jingzhou and other regions. However, these areas, compared to the mainland of the Han Dynasty, occupy really not too much, barely enough, less than half.

And in the Central Plains, it was naturally occupied by Cao Cao's forces, and then, in Qingzhou, there was Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang who was still struggling, as well as the forces of some bandits and robbers. Then, in the Yuzhou and Yangzhou regions, where Cao Cao's control is not too strong, there are actually many people who do not belong to the New Han Dynasty and do not belong to the forces under Cao Cao's control. Of course, there are more in the Jiangdong region, those small power princes, they occupy a city and a pool, occupy some dangerous terrain to stand on their own, and no one can control them. These are barely considered to be small power princes. Now, the princes of the small forces in these regions, they seem to have seen the general trend of the world clearly, and have begun to take the initiative to seek a way to return to the new Han Dynasty.

These are good things, after all, the Han Dynasty is too big, and it will be occupied by the attack of one city and one pool, so when will it be before the great cause of unifying the Han can be truly completed? Under the general trend, it is only a matter of time before those who are forced by the shape to take the initiative to submit to the New Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi returned to the dynasty from Xianbei Mountain, no longer passing through Tianzhen, but passing through the east of Chifeng Mountain, and then entering the Liaodong region.

This is mainly to meet with Gongsun Du. In the future, the governance of the Liaodong region, and even the entire Northeast region, will be indispensable to the efforts of Gongsun Du's father and son, and Liu Yi, as their lord, will naturally meet with them and encourage them. In this way, it also makes them feel at ease, after all, they are all generals, and they are princes who have returned to the New Han Dynasty, if Liu Yi doesn't have a good talk with them, I'm afraid their hearts won't be too happy.

I met Gongsun Du in Liaoyang City.

It may be that after returning to the New Han Dynasty, with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gongsun Chan and other generals, they fought a big battle and won the victory, and they also made great contributions.

He went out of the city and knelt down to welcome Liu Yi into the city, which made Liu Yi see his look, which made Liu Yi feel a little relieved. At least, Gongsun Du can be in such a mental outlook, and he can be excited because of the great victory of the New Han Army, which shows that he has indeed returned to the New Han Dynasty, and only in this way will he feel deeply honored.

Liu Yi dismounted and picked up Gongsun Du and went into the city hand in hand with him.

In the official office of Liaoyang City, the generals gathered.

Liu Yigao sat on the main seat, raised his glass to toast the generals, and then said to Gongsun Du: "General Shengji, you don't know, now the big man, what can really make me Liu Yi admire, can preside over a party, but can do so well, so that there are not many people under his rule who have enough to eat." Only your grandson Shengji is the number one. ”

"Oh? The main princess looked at her grandson. Gongsun Du saw that Liu Yi praised him so much, and he was happy in his heart, but he modestly stood up and hugged his fists.

"Hehe......" Liu Yi waved his hand to signal Gongsun Du to sit down, not too restrained, and said: "Brother Gongsun, Liu Yi really admires you." Because, you are in Liaodong, it is not easy. In a place where aliens are rampant, you can lay such a foundation, and you can develop quite well, and in this regard, you have to be much stronger than Gongsun Boqi. Well, don't mind, even if Gongsun Chan is here, I will say so. Bo Jue and you are both children of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and he is better at conquest and not good at rectification, especially in dealing with some aliens, which is too extreme. Soon, you will be better at business. ”

"Uh, hehe, thank you for your appreciation." Gongsun Du sat down and said with great joy.

"To be honest, Brother Shengji, you are in Liaodong, although the development is good, but if you want to compete in the world according to Liaodong, you also have its natural weaknesses. The first is the issue of geography, and the second is the issue of the source of population and soldiers. In contrast, the Middle Earth of the Great Han Dynasty, regarded as the children of Liaodong, in fact, it was almost the same as being an alien. Therefore, if one day, Brother Shengji wants to send troops to the Middle Earth of the Han Dynasty, the resistance he suffers will inevitably be quite fierce. In the end, it's a matter of success or failure. Liu Yi said to Gongsun Du earnestly: "You don't mean anything else when you talk to Brother Shengji, I just hope that Brother Shengji you don't have to be dissatisfied because your foundation was taken away by Liu." (To be continued......)
