The first year of Taixing has gone away in all kinds of hustle and bustle, and in the past year, the general trend of the world has changed dramatically.

First of all, Liao's eastern and western conquests of Yongqin were successful and became the largest feudal town in the world; Secondly, King Langya not only ascended the throne as emperor and realized his long-cherished wish for many years, but also eased the relationship with the ancestor of Xuzhou, and had an additional chess piece in his hand to suppress Wang Dun and Wei Shuo; In the end, Shile's southern expedition defeated Zuyo and broke the blockade of Xiangguo in Liaodong.

At the beginning of February of the second year of Taixing, on the Jicheng school field, the Liaodong Army stood in a solemn formation facing the north in the morning light, and the flags in the military array stood in the wind, and the Liaodong military flag fluttered high on the high platform.

Wei Shuo climbed the stairs and slowly stepped into the high platform, the commanders of the guard army, Chen An and Zhang Biao, followed three steps behind, and the rest of the high-level and generals in Liaodong, such as Pei Wei, Mo Han, Wen Qiao, Gao Zhan, and Zhang Tong, walked on the high platform one after another.

The conquest of the grassland was the dream of any ambitious emperor in the Central Plains, and the two heroes of Qin and Han Wu composed different cadenzas for the same dream.

Now Wei Shuo will continue to move forward along the glorious footprints left by his ancestors, and the conquest of Yinshan is a key part of his pacification of the world and the conquest of the grassland, and there must be no mistakes.

Only by seizing the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and shackling the Monan grassland can Liaodong sweep away its worries and go south to compete with Shile for dominance in the Central Plains.

Over the years, Wei Shuo has greatly weakened Tuoba Xianbei's strength through various means, and it can be said that the opportunity to defeat Xianbei is ripe. Today's expedition is different from the expedition to northern Shaanxi and Dai five years ago, although Tuoba Yilu has died at that time, the strength of the Tuoba tribe still exists, and the strength of Liaodong is not good, so he can only map northern and Dai first.

First of all, the Xianbei people have experienced two consecutive civil strife and greatly reduced their strength, while the strength of Liaodong has taken the opportunity to be greatly expanded. In particular, the northern part of the Liaoning Province and the Dai Dynasty have become the most solid backing for the grassland expedition in northeastern Liaoning, which has greatly weakened the front's dependence on the transshipment of supplies from the rear.

In addition, the external situation facing Liaodong is also much better than five years ago, when Wei Shuo's jurisdiction was only one state, and it was surrounded by Hulu, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a complete loss. Now Liaodong dominates the land of the five northern states, and the biggest enemy, Shi Le, does not dare to provoke Liaodong easily.

Finally, before the war, Liaodong had gradually stockpiled all kinds of materials to the front lines such as Shanbei, Dai, Guangning, and Shuofang, and it can be said that Liaodong was quite well prepared for this war, much more fully than five years ago.

"Liaodong soldiers, do you know why we swear here?"

"Kill Hulu!"

"That's right! It's to kill Hulu! The barbarians do not know the righteousness of kindness, and I treat them like people, but they fight back, occupy my land, and harm my subjects, which is really a great crime! Not killing is not enough to outrage the people! ”

With Wei Shuo's sonorous and powerful declaration, many people present showed fierce expressions. Although I haven't heard of Jin people being killed by the Hu people for many years, the chaos that changed the color of the world a few years ago still haunts every Jin Min's heart like a nightmare.

"As we all know, the Hu people are a nightmare in the hearts of Huaxia, and if you don't trample the Hu people under your feet again, and don't wash away the shame that the Hu people put on the Jin people, this nightmare will never end."

"Just eight years ago, in the fifth year of Yongjia, Hu Lu entered the Central Plains in a big way. Every time the city was broken, Hu Lu slaughtered the city, killing the Jin men when they saw them, and plundering them when they saw the women, and even cannibalizing people for fun. By the time the Hu people of all tribes were satisfied, the remains of the Jin people in various parts of the Central Plains had reached as many as one million. ”

Rao is a veteran of the Liaodong Army who 'kills people without blinking', and he can't help but feel chilled when he heard Wei Shuo tell about the catastrophe suffered by the people when Hu Lu was raging.

"From that moment on, I swore in my heart that the only way to treat Hu people is to kill them! Fight violence with violence! Do we need Hu people to be grateful? No, you don't! Do you need the Hu people to surrender? No, you don't! Just let those Hulu fear us from the bottom of their hearts, fear us! ”

Wei Shuo's words caused an uproar below, although most traditional scholars did not agree with his views, but they caused the low-level soldiers to pursue them enthusiastically. It's really that the Jin people have been suppressed too ruthlessly by Hu Lu over the years, and there are too many grievances that have accumulated in the hearts of the Jin people and cannot be vented.

"Whenever Hulu rises, the cities of China will be slaughtered and emptied, and the people will be displaced by it."

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Hu and Han wars have been endless, and the Hu people have caused the most trauma to China in all dynasties. Even though the arrival of Wei Shuo greatly reduced the damage caused by the Hu people to the Jin people, more than one million Jin people died at the hands of the Hu people in various parts of the Central Plains.

"Since the founding of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Hu Lu soldiers have become more and more powerful, and various places have been repeatedly harassed by the Hu people, and the people have been poisoned by the Hu people in the north, and those Hu Lu are like weeds to kill endlessly! Why is that? ”

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo paused a little and took a breath, and quickly asked himself: "Because every time the Central Plains Dynasty defeated Hu Lu, in order to show its benevolence and generosity, it gave up the southern foot of Yin Mountain, the northern barrier. As a result, the Hu people occupied the beautiful grasslands in the north and south of Yinshan, and regained the strength to go south and wreak havoc through recuperation. ”

"Now I, Liaodong, want to break this law, attack Yinshan in the north, turn the southern foot of Yinshan into my inherent land in China, and let the Monan grassland become my Chinese pasture forever. Any Hu person who dares to cross the Yin Mountain without the permission of my Huaxia will be killed! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Under Wei Shuo's instigation, the school field resounded with earth-shattering shouts, and every sound was a denunciation of Hu Lu.

"The people of the world have been suffering for a long time! Today, the Liaodong Army raised righteousness in the sky and went north to recover the old places of Wuyuan and Yunzhong, so as to eradicate the stronghold of Hulu's southern invasion. This is to create the foundation for China and the expectation of all people! This time, the armies of the Northern Expedition should be the first, restore the homeland of our Qin and Han dynasties, chase Hu captives in the desert outside the Saiwai, and return China to peace and tranquility. ”

After the swearing-in ceremony, Wei Shuo planned to go to Yanmen Pass to take command. Before the expedition, in order to stabilize the rear, Wei Shuo left Gao Zhan, Pei Wei and the high-level officials of the pastoral government to sit in Jicheng to handle government affairs on his behalf. During the war, except for major events, general political affairs would be entrusted to the pastoral government led by Pei Wei.

In the second year of Taixing, at the end of February, when Yangyu persuaded Mobei Rouran and Eilehu to go south, Sima Weishuo of Jin Da successfully arrived at Yanmen Pass and personally issued combat orders to generals at all levels.

"The Great Sima Military Order:

1. The 30,000 troops of the Left Route Army, commanded by Liu Yao, the governor of Shuozhou, crossed the Yellow River from Shuofang to the north to the Houtao Plain, recovered the hometown of Wuyuan, advanced the overall defense line to the north to the Gaoque Fortress of the Wolf Mountain Range, and established a defense line;

2. The 60,000 troops of the Middle Route Army were personally commanded by Da Sima, and the generals Chen An, Duan Wenyang, Sun Wei, and Ji Yu, Zishanwu and Gaoliu attacked Shenhepi and Danhan Mountain to the west, and crossed the Shenhe Radial to the west to recover Shengle City;

3. The 40,000 Right Route Army was commanded by Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang, and they went north from Guangning and Changli counties to the grassland and Buyeo respectively. ”

The Great War began, and this was the final blow of Liaodong to the remnants of Xianbei in the north, and as long as it succeeded, it would ensure peace in the north for at least ten years in the future. At this moment, everyone was excited, and young generals like Yang Que and Xie Ai, who participated in major military operations for the first time, were all covered with blood.

After Wei Shuo finished announcing the military order, his eyes swept at all the generals of the Liaodong Army in the conference room, "Everyone, this is the last battle of Liaodong against the Xianbei people, I hope everyone will work together to make persistent efforts to completely destroy the Hu tribe that poses the greatest threat to China." ”

"At present, Tuoba Xianbei still has nearly 90,000 cavalry, plus Murong Xianbei and other affiliated tribes on the Monan grassland, the Xianbei people can still gather at least 150,000 or 60,000 cavalry. Considering the large number of Hu cavalry, Liaodong will send 90,000 cavalry to fight in this battle. Although the number of people is smaller than that of Hu Cai, I believe that in front of the powerful Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the Hu people will be vulnerable! ”

"After eight years of training, the Liaodong Army has become the most powerful armed force today, and any enemy who stands in front of us will be ruthlessly crushed by the Liaodong Army!"

"When the spring flowers bloom in March, it will be the end of the northern Hulu, let those Hulu tremble in front of us! Let's create the greatest moment for Huaxia together! ”

"Huaxia Wansheng!" Finally, Wei Shuo raised his arms and shouted!

"Huaxia Wansheng!"

As soon as the pre-war meeting at Yanmen Pass ended, generals at all levels began to go to various places to make final pre-war preparations, and some of the young generals who graduated from the military academy were also assigned by Wei Shuo to intern under various generals. (To be continued.) )
