In 197 years of Huaxia, the Battle of Shuzhong in early July ended completely, except for Hanjia County and Qianwei County, the entire territory of Shuzhong fell into the hands of Liu Tai. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In this battle, the Tianci Army invested 120,000 troops in the premise, and later transferred 60,000 iron cavalry from Xiliang to help, totaling nearly 180,000 troops, with a total of about 30,000 casualties before and after, which lasted for about five years.

You know, in five years, there are potential changes at every moment! How many of the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Tianci Army have grown from young men in their twenties to middle-aged people in their thirties? In the past five years, at least more than 80,000 soldiers have not returned to their homeland, and all these hardships are for Liu Tai's great cause and the unification of the world!!

The soldiers have paid a lot, and Liu Tai has never treated meritorious people badly. Although the casualties of the soldiers and horses in this battle were extremely heavy, there were more soldiers who could be promoted to military ranks, according to preliminary statistics, at least more than 2,000 of the 180,000 soldiers had their official positions promoted by one level or more!

In northern Xinjiang, the promotion of military ranks also means that the salary is doubled, and a general is also very much admired by the people in his hometown, even if many of these generals have suffered incurable wounds on the front line, they can still get their own happiness, because they are heroes!!

In order to avoid war-weariness among the soldiers, at this moment, under Liu Tai's order, Northern Xinjiang has begun to prepare to transfer a group of middle- and lower-level officers back to Northern Xinjiang to take up posts, while ordinary sergeants will be transferred back to the troops stationed in Northern Xinjiang in batches. In fact, this order was not very easy for Liu Tai to issue, although it was said that the soldiers were seriously tired of war, but after all, these soldiers had fought in Yizhou for five years, and now the results have been obtained, and before they have enjoyed the honor of the victor, they were transferred back to the rear

This is a bit excessive!

However, this decision was not Liu Tai's idea alone, but was agreed by all the ministers of the entire Military Aircraft Department, and the leader of them was Xun Yu. Xun Yu's way of thinking about things is different from others, after all, Xun Yu is not Liu Tai, in Xun Yu's opinion, Huang Zhong's prestige in the Western Expeditionary Army is too lofty at the moment, if Liu Tai doesn't knock it, what if Huang Zhong has any intention of establishing himself as king in Yizhou?

You must know that the Battle of Yizhou can be won by the three generals Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Wen Chou in full screen, and it took nearly five years to attack Yizhou with such a lineup, which shows how difficult it is for the soldiers to attack Yizhou!

Just in case, well, just in case! Huang Zhong suddenly wanted to divide one side, even if he didn't dare to stand up on the surface, this kind of move would bring a terrifying earthquake to the northern Xinjiang!

In the past five years, at least about 30% of all the gains in northern Xinjiang have been invested in the Western Expedition Campaign, which is a huge cost even in the Central Plains Campaign! And what is the annual income of the Northern Xinjiang government? Even if you think about it, it makes people sweat, if it is an ordinary force, it will not be able to support the expenses of the Yizhou Campaign at all, at least it will not be able to have the spare strength to start the Central Plains War like the Northern Xinjiang!

Of course, even if Xun Yu muttered a little to Huang Zhong, he didn't say anything about Liu Tai's replacement of the Western Expedition, after all, until now, the Western Expedition has not ended!

Why?

Because in Yizhou, there are still two tumors that have not been removed!

Moreover, these two tumors were planted by Liu Tai himself!

Who?

Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du!

As soon as the second grandson is said to be immortal, it is impossible to end the Western Expedition campaign, and it is impossible to unify Yizhou, you must know that in Yizhou, Liu Miao and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong are just clowns who jump off the beam, if Liu Miao does not have the help of Sun, Shuzhong has been occupied by the Tianci army as early as a few years ago.

What about the second grandson of Yinan?

Gongsun Du aside, not long ago, Dian Wei, the general of the northern frontier of Fenshan County, was almost suppressed by Gongsun Chan with the same force and couldn't raise his head, if it weren't for Gongsun Chan in the later period to rush to the aid of the Sword Pavilion and prevent the Sword Pavilion from being broken by Huang Zhongzhong's army, Dian Wei is afraid that he would not be able to enter Wenshan County at all!

In this case, you can think of symbolizing the difficulty of courting Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du! According to reliable sources, recently, in order to prevent the Tianci army from going south with a great victory, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du spent a lot of money to strengthen the northern defense line of Yinan, among which Gongsun Chan even pushed to many cities in Hanjia County and Qianwei County to collect stones and timber to build a pseudo-Great Wall!

And what makes the Tianci army even more helpless is that the terrain of Yinan is many times more dangerous than the Yibei line, although the Tianci army is already very experienced in mountain warfare, but the Tianci army is a foreign army after all, how to recover the land of Yinan in a short time?

You must know that even if Zhuge Liang in history was sitting on tens of thousands of elites in Yizhou and Benzhou, the subjugation of Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, still made Zhuge Liang rack his brains, and Huang Zhong compared with Zhuge Liang

It's all heaven and earth!

Countless difficulties are in front of Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, a veteran, since the recovery of almost the entire territory of Shuzhong, ninety percent of his thoughts are on how to break through the Yinan defense line, and the other one is naturally Yong'an City in Badong.

Yong'an is a thorn in Huang Zhong's heart, before the appearance of the Sun family, the Western Expedition was smooth sailing, but since Sun Jian and Sun Ce appeared, Huang Zhong was about to go crazy, and the five-year campaign was maintained, although the northern Xinjiang could support it, but how much was the torment in Huang Zhong's heart?

Huang Zhong is very aware of the situation in northern Xinjiang, and now Liu Tai's steps of unification have been completely launched, and it is expected that Yizhou should have been recovered by the whole territory as early as two years ago, but this battle has not been completely over for five years, what is the reason for all this?

Because of Sun!

So Huang Zhong decided that before attacking Yinan, he must solve the nail of Yong'an!

At the same time, in order to prevent Yinan's spies from entering the Shuzhong area to investigate the truth, Huang Zhong immediately ordered to block all the pipelines from Yinan to Yibei, and looked for some hidden mountain roads from the mouths of the local people, and sent troops to block all mountain roads! It's a very simple way, since you can't go south in a short time, then you will completely cut off the ears and eyes of Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du. You must know that the situation in Yinan is not as good as imagined, and many necessities and strategic materials must be purchased from Yibei, and now Huang Zhong suddenly cut off the way for Yinan merchants and gate valves to go north, which suddenly made the situation in Yinan worse.

And this, naturally, is what Huang Zhong wants to see!

Huang Zhong didn't think that Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du might go north, because it was very clear to everyone, including the two Gongsuns, that although the two princes of Yinan were united at this moment, although there were no less than 100,000 soldiers, if they really took the initiative to provoke a battle and give up their biggest advantage, they would definitely die as much as they wanted, and they would not be the opponent of the Tianci army at all.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du can only endure it, and they can only endure it, and they are not qualified to shake Huang Zhong's blockade strategy on the Yinanbei Front.
