On the first day of the Zhenwu Northern Expeditionary Army, they burned down Yongbyon Prefecture and eliminated 3,000 Khitan cavalry, which shocked the entire southwest recruiting division, and the title of "iron-blooded butcher" of the northwest guerrilla general of the Zhenwu Army began to spread among the people.

After cleaning up the battlefield in the valley, it was getting late, and the 5,000 Northern Expeditionary Army retreated fifty miles south and camped in an even smaller valley. The baggage team returned to the Eccentric Pass to replenish the "fire bombs".

No way, once the army is modernized, logistics replenishment becomes very important.

On the same day, He Daxian also led the western expeditionary army to cross the Yellow River and rested in Fuzhou.

The Yellow River is worthy of being a moat, and it took almost a whole day to cross a few thousand soldiers, and a small boat overturned and two people drowned! It's just too inefficient and too risky.

The Yellow River Bridge must be built as soon as possible!

Zhe Congyuan went out to fight, just the name of the Fuzhou Assassin History, and now the one who really controls Fuzhou is Zhe Congyuan's father Zhi Silun!

Zhe Silun is now in his sixties, with a red face, gray hair, and his mental head looks okay. It turned out that he once served as a assassin in Linzhou, but later resigned due to illness and followed his son to live a rich life in Fuzhou. Zhe Si Lun is also known as a member of the Zhi family army in history, but in fact he is a nominal general who has never fought a war.

Otherwise, with his identity as the ancestor of the family's army, he would have been famous all over the world a long time ago, where would his children and grandchildren steal the limelight!

The real skill of Zhe Si Lun is civil engineering.

When he was still young, he was sent to the remote Linzhou as a thorn in history, and he had nothing to do with his buttocks, so he used the excuse of strengthening the defense to start transforming Linzhou like a big boy playing with building blocks.

Anyway, the emperor is far away, and the funds are sufficient, and Linzhou has been transformed into the current strange ghost, which is a good thing that this Zhai Lun has done! This person was able to transform a city on a mountain into a fortress that could never be attacked under the condition that the ancient construction technology was so low, which shows that this person's ability is really no less than that of the great engineers of later generations!

Others don't know Zhe Silun, how can He Daxian not know!

Fold from afar and you go to war, the matter of building a bridge, let your old man go out, and we will pay the meal ticket as a salary!

The old engineer is really a strange person in the construction industry, he understood He Daxian's requirements, ran to the river and took a turn, and he knew how significant this bridge was. Of course, the old man is old, and his days are numbered, he doesn't seek wealth, he doesn't seek profit, he just wants to be famous, and he actually began to talk to Zhenwujun about the conditions, saying that this bridge can't be called the Yellow River Bridge, and must be named "Zheshi Yellow River Bridge"! Otherwise, don't do it!

When He Daxian heard it, Nima, you old thing, actually said that it was too low to make a suspension bridge, and you should make a bridge that can walk with carriages!

This is the first time that He Daxian has been said to be too low by an ancient mortal, or He Daxian thinks that he will kill the ancient engineer's scientific knowledge in seconds!

Okay, Uncle Fold you're awesome! Dare to slap the face of the science master He Daxian!

"Zheshi Yellow River Bridge? This name is too unconventional, just call it Silun Bridge! ”

Don't you just want to make a name for Uncle Fold? Then you will be famous for eternity! Satisfied! Get out of here and get to work!

Zhen Silun really smiled, his mouth full of missing teeth opened and couldn't be closed, and he turned around and ran away.

At this time, Zhi Congyuan didn't know that his father had received a military order to build the first Yellow River bridge in history that could walk in a carriage! The next morning, the Northern Expeditionary Army set off again, passing by the burned Yongbyon Prefecture, and began to officially invade the southwest of the Khitan State!

At noon, the Zhenwu Northern Expeditionary Army came to the city of Shengzhou in the east.

Zhao Siwen originally had two cities under his jurisdiction, with 5,000 defenders in Dongsheng Prefecture and 1,000 defenders in Yongbyon Prefecture. Ningbian Prefecture was burned from far away, and yesterday Zhao Siwen took another 2,000 people from Dongsheng Prefecture, and there were still 3,000 defenders in Dongsheng Prefecture at this time.

As soon as the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army Brigade arrived, and Zhao Siwen did not come back, the dragons were leaderless, and Dongshengzhou immediately closed the city gate and took strict precautions.

Will the "Iron Butcher" attack the city from afar? Burn Dong Shengju like the destruction of Yongbyon State again?

Of course not!

Where can you figure out the compulsion of famous generals!

According to the strategy set by Zhao Ping before, Zhi Congyuan began to implement the siege of the city and clear the wilderness.

What is a siege of the city?

Don't forget the purpose of the Zhenwu Northern Expeditionary Army's invasion of the Khitan Kingdom! Fighting a war is never about fighting for the sake of fighting, it is just one of the means adopted to accomplish the task.

The mission of the Northern Expeditionary Army is to rob! Why do you have nothing to do attacking your city?

When they came to the city of Dongshengzhou, it was just that the 3,000 army led by Zhe Congyuan's son Zhe Deyan put up a posture to attack the city, so that the Dongsheng army did not dare to go out of the city.

Where are the two thousand armies? Sweep around, grab money, grab food, grab women!

Because we are fighting "offshore", in order to prevent everyone from getting confused when reading books, we will introduce a little bit about the geographical and historical background of the vicinity.

Dongshengzhou was originally the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The Yellow River bends in a zigzag here, and the area of the great plain in the north at the corner is as large as that of the inland Zhejiang Province, which is regarded as a super prairie in the Hetao area, with abundant water and grass and fertile land.

For the herders of the north, it is a super pasture of excellent quality, and the nomadic peoples have also taken turns to live here for thousands of years. Mind you, it's "turns"!

Before the Tang Dynasty, it was the Rouran people who occupied this place, and we don't care which ethnic group lived here before.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, the Rouran Empire was broken up by the Turks, and a large number of Turks flocked to kill all the Rouran people and occupy this place. Later, the Tang Dynasty rose, the Tang army went north to expand the territory, defeated the Turks, and killed the Turks when they saw them.

At that time, the Uighurs in the Western Regions also rose, and seeing that the Turks were driven everywhere by the Tang army, they also began to go north to intercept and plunder the Turks. However, a fire broke out at the city gate and the pond fish were affected, and a large number of Dangxiang people caught in the middle were driven out of the Western Regions by the Uighurs.

The Tang Dynasty government saw that this place was too far away, the Han people were reluctant to go, and it was not a way to increase the number of party members, so they set up an official office here, established the Tiande Army Festival Envoy, and brought the party members here into the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan rose, and Yelu Abaoji went west to conquer the party, which is this history. At that time, Song Yao, the envoy of the Tiande Army, raised his hand and surrendered when he saw that the Tang Dynasty was dead and it was difficult for the lone army to resist the Khitan.

Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji was very happy, so he said Song Yao, you are so good, then I won't beat you, you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, belong to the Khitan, and continue to be the emperor here, by the way, I will change the name of your Tiande Army to the Khitan, called the Changxing Army.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Khitan soldiers withdrew, Song Yao didn't know which tendon was twitched, and suddenly wanted to be the emperor, so he set himself up as the king, and at the same time restored the title of Tiande Army.

This is too much of a slap in the face of Yelu Abaoji! Nima, this is typical of giving you a faceless shame! Ask for it!

The Khitan army conquered for the second time, completely occupied this place, captured Song Yao and killed the whole family, canceled the Tiande army, and established the southwest recruitment division.

At that time, the Khitans were rampant in the grasslands, but they were still very afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty in the south. You warlords of the Central Plains are fighting around, who knows who will win the battle one day, and they will come to take revenge and take back the land!

Originally, the Tiande army built two cities here, Shengzhou and Fengzhou, Abaoji destroyed Shengzhou west of the Yellow River, forced the residents of the city to move to the east of the Yellow River, and built the city of Dongshengzhou, and later between Dongshengzhou and Fengzhou, a new Yunnei Prefecture was built, and these three walled cities became the fortress cities of the three garrisons of the southwest recruitment division.

The head of the city changes the banner of the king, and the party herdsmen don't care, you Han and Khitan gods fight, we can't afford to provoke it, just bow your head and surrender. Unexpectedly, one day, Yelu Abaoji suddenly had diarrhea, and a certain witch opened her mouth and said that it was the party members in this place who affected Feng Shui. So Abaoji issued an order that all party members must move 1,000 miles eastward, and they are not allowed to graze in the west of Daqing Mountain!

At this time, the party members were miserable, forced to leave their hometowns, give up the land where their ancestors had lived for 200 years, and have to trek to a strange place to compete with other ethnic groups for pasture! In this great migration, hundreds of thousands of party members died on the road, and not one of the ten households survived!

That's why Zhi Congyuan hates the Khitans so much! Because Zhi Congyuan is a party member himself!

The Dangxiang people were displaced, and they were already living very hard, but fortunately, the Tang Dynasty could still accommodate them, and gave the Dangxiang people such a fertile land to thrive, and as soon as you Khitan came, you drove people away! And killed so many party members!

I can't help it if I don't have power or power, I have an army in my hands now, and the Nima Khitans will kill one by one!

The so-called siege of the city and clearing the wilderness is to let his son Zhede Yan watch the Khitan army in Dongshengzhou, and he himself led 2,000 cavalry to sweep and attack various local tyrants or herdsmen who were migrating.

These local tyrants and herdsmen are all other affiliated ethnic groups that migrated with the Khitan army after the Dangxiang people were cleared and driven away.

The first goal of Zhicongyuan was a small ranch fifty miles away from Dongshengzhou. (To be continued.) )
