In the 197th year of China, the Yinan War broke out in mid-November. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This battle was naturally launched by Huang Zhong, and after several months of preparation, the Tianci army was almost finished, and the remaining time was only a little more than two years.
In the same month, Tianxi Taishou Sun Ce commanded an army of 100,000 troops to go south to Yuenan County, using Yuenan County as a base to attack the Tianxi Kingdoms, and Zhou Yu, who had outstanding achievements in the Sword Pavilion before, naturally also went out with the army, after all, Zhou Yu was named by Liu Tai himself.
As soon as Sun Ce left, Jingnan only left 100,000 troops, and it can be said that the defense was several times weaker. However, at present, the Sun family is ready to give up Jingnan and even Jiaozhou, as long as they accumulate enough materials to squander on the Tianxi battlefield, the Sun family may take the initiative to abandon Jingnan and retreat into Jiaozhou, relying on the sinister mountains and rivers to resist the third southern expedition of the Tianci army.
In Huaxia 197, at the beginning of December, Yuan Shao borrowed Sun's words, and the world thought that this matter would not be successful, but Sun's response was beyond everyone's expectations.
Sun agreed, and not only agreed to Yuan Shao's request, but was even willing to provide Yuan Shao with some of the grain and grass for the expedition, of course, most of the others needed Yuan Shao to buy with real money. In the current era, due to the continuous expansion of the northern territory, the five-baht coin has almost been completely abolished, so the only currency that can really be circulated is precious things such as gold and silver, and the low people have even reached the embarrassing situation of bartering.
According to reliable sources, Yuan Shao's southward march will exceed 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if 100,000 troops are drawn from Jiangxia and Lujiang to leave, it will mean that Yuan Shao has completely given up resisting the Tianci army.
In fact, it's not that Yuan Shao doesn't have confidence, but that he doesn't have the ability to fight at all. As we all know, the third southern expedition of the Tianci Army must be aimed at the unification of the world, will there be fewer soldiers and horses at that time? From the current situation where Liu Tai constantly ordered the dispatch of troops and horses from various states to gather in the Central Plains, we can see the terrifying scale of the Third Southern Expedition.
And with Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, what is it in front of the millions of heroes of the Tianci Army? If the Ci Army has not yet moved south today, Yuan Shao has enough time to evacuate, if he waits until the Tianci Army officially announces the start of the Third Southern Expedition, will Yuan Shao still have a chance to evacuate?
So Yuan Shao can't help but go, and has to go, this time to the south is Yuan Shao's last hope, in order to make the army worry-free, Yuan Shao even pulled up a lot of gate lord clans, and promised countless benefits to the gate lord clan, under the huge temptation, some gate lord clans naturally difficult to avoid stepping on Yuan's chariot.
As for the rest of the gate lord clans who are unwilling to leave Middle-earth, they are naturally not in Yuan Shao's consideration, if they want to fight against the Tianci Army, they will fight it, anyway, as soon as Yuan Shao leaves, these things have nothing to do with Yuan Shao, it is really a headache, let Sun Jian and Liu Bei go to the egg to hurt.
In 197 years in China, in the middle of December, Yuan Shao's army went south in less than three or four days, and the northern Xinjiang finally launched a big move, this battle Liu Tai mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized, about 800,000 or so, 800,000 troops gathered in the Lianghuai region, of which 60,000 sailors entered the Yangtze River basin, swept the Jiangdong naval fleet, and wanted to completely occupy the Yangtze River basin, so that Jiangdong lost the last barrier.
The commander of the third battle is naturally none other than Liu Tai, after all, this battle represents the last battle of the unification of the world, and once the world is unified, then it is the moment when Liu Tai is truly the emperor, and all resistance and loneliness will no longer exist.
It doesn't matter if Liu Miao is not dead.
In the same month, Gao Shun was appointed marshal of the Left Front Army of the Third Southern Expedition.
Zhao Yun was appointed marshal of the Right Front Army of the Third Southern Expedition.
Liu Tai himself led the commander of the Chinese army.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Yun has returned to Huacheng from the Western Regions, and now the military power of the Western Regions is Ma Chao, who has been crowned to the three-star Shenwei General, and Wang Yao, the Bull Demon General who is responsible for assisting Ma Chao. As for the political aspect, it was in the hands of Gongsun Ce, who was promoted to the history of Xizhou Thorn! In the past few years, Gongsun Ce has been able to get the most play, and has been praised by Zhao Yun many times, and this time he took up the position of Xizhou Assassin History, which is also strongly guaranteed by Zhao Yun, and Liu Tai, who has always trusted Zhao Yun, will not have too many doubts, the military and political affairs of the Western Regions need to be divided into one article and one force, and Ma Chao and Gongsun Ce will be the best choice.
In order to better complete the third southern expedition, Liu Tai divided the 800,000 army into three divisions, and the strength of the Chinese army was about 300,000, with Hefei as a stronghold, crossing Chaohu Lake to attack Lujiang and other counties, and taking the opportunity to attack Xiakou and other areas, cutting off the connection between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, of course, the first task was to destroy the remnants of Yuan Shao's left.
The strength of the left army was about 250,000, and it also took Hefei as a stronghold, went to Wujiang to enter the Jiangdong region by boat in batches, forcibly swept the Jiangdong counties headed by Danyang County, and took the opportunity to destroy Liu Bei's main forces, and concentrated the Jiangdong soldiers and horses as much as possible.
The strength of the right army is about 250,000, with Xiangyang as a base to radiate the counties of Jingzhou, forcibly occupy the Nanjun area, and suppress the Jingnan soldiers in the four counties of Jingnan, if everything goes well, I hope to subdue the entire territory of Jingzhou within half a year and drive the Sun family into the Jiaozhou area.
In Huaxia 198, after the integration of half a month in early January, after the swearing-in of Shouchun, various departments in northern Xinjiang gradually launched the final stage of the great unification campaign. Because there is a two-year deadline specified by Liu Tai in this battle, it is indeed a bit difficult to win in a short period of time.
However, Northern Xinjiang has been preparing for so many years, for this final unification campaign, so all group armies are very confident, and the high-level side has always been a model of unity, as long as there are no problems within the Tianci army, the unification campaign should be successfully completed.
In the same month, when the news of the oath of the army in Shouchun spread all over the north and south of the river, the princes everywhere were panicked, among which the more prominent was the gate lord clan, and there were originally some gate lord clans who were unwilling to leave the rich land halfway, but when the Tian Ci army went south again, they had to make a choice.
Leaving Middle-earth, they can still guarantee glory and wealth, superior status, but stay in Middle-earth, the future fate is a little unpredictable, just ask, which family does not have a little dirty things, although Liu Tai will not pursue too far, but the family that has done too much will still be punished, and even exterminate the family.
And the Gate Lords didn't know where Liu Tai's bottom line was, so those family masters had to make a choice when the Heavenly Army attacked.
Compared with life, wealth, and privilege, the so-called love for the land has suddenly decreased a lot. Under the threat of the Tianci Army, most of the families made a choice, and more than seventy percent of them decided to continue to move south, either to Yizhou, or to simply defect to the Sun family.
And the remaining Sancheng family is the family that thinks they can get Liu Tai's forgiveness. It is also true that although these families have done things to oppress the people, they are relatively secretive, and they still have a bit of a reputation in the hearts of the people, since it is impossible to touch Liu Tai's bottom line, why should they leave the home where they grew up?
If it weren't for helplessness, no one would leave their homes, even the great evildoers.
In Huaxia 198, in mid-January, the Tianci Army officially went south, and the first target of Liu Tai, the commander of the Chinese army, was Lujiang. And since Yuan Shao left in Lujiang, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left behind, how can he stop the heaven-sent army? After the Tianci army crossed Chaohu, Yuan Jun did not have the slightest idea of resisting, and directly surrendered to the Tianci army, so that the Lujiang soldiers fell into the hands of Liu Tai without blood.
After occupying the Lujiang River, the Tianci Army did not stop, but occupied the areas around the Lujiang River where there was no resistance. Perhaps because the Tianci army was too strong, Jiangdong could be said to be defeated, and Liu Bei, the lord of Jiangdong, did not seem to have the intention of competing with Liu Tai for Jiangdong, and watched the counties of Jiangdong fall into the flames of war, and he led the elite of Jiangdong to retreat to Wu County, waiting for the response of the Yizhou Naval Division.
Liu Bei was ready to retreat, because Liu Bei knew very well that the Tianci army was invincible, at least the Tianci army with Liu Tai in charge was not something that the princes could easily defeat, so why should Liu Bei waste his troops? Over the years, at least three or four layers of Jiangdong's population, materials, merchants, and gate valves have been transferred to the Yizhou area.
As long as Yizhou is still in Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei is still the king of one party.
Liu Bei believed that it was impossible for the Tianci army to have the ability to occupy Jiangdong and then attack Yizhou. Yizhou is guarded by natural dangers, and Liu Bei has more than 100,000 sailors, with such strength, how could it be defeated by the heaven-sent army in a short period of time? As long as the time is delayed, the situation at sea is uncertain, and when the time comes, are you afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Tianci army?
Of course, Liu Bei only has the idea of blocking the Tianci army from Yizhou, because Liu Bei knows very well that it is impossible to counterattack Middle-earth, and Liu Bei's desire has fallen to the point of being a mere king since Liu Tai's strong rise. Why bother with yourself?
Liu Bei used to be just a straw sandals seller!!
In Huaxia 198, Liu Bei's inaction in early February made the people of Jiangdong in an uproar, but the people of Jiangdong did not have any antipathy to the Tianci Army. If Liu Taidu didn't care about the life and death of the people like other princes, maybe the world would have been completely unified a long time ago, but the world was also in a mess at that time
Northern Emperor Liu Tai, the ancestral pope! Liu Tai's status in the hearts of the people is very high, even the people under Liu Bei's rule are no exception. Since ancient times, as long as the people can fill their stomachs, they generally don't care who the people in power are, but over the years, Liu Bei has moved people to Yizhou in order to develop Yizhou.
As a result, the people of Jiangdong will inevitably complain.
Although Liu Bei's attitude is still good, he has always been responsible for providing money and food for the people, and the people themselves do not need to pay money and grain to reach Yizhou, and distribute land and place to live. But is migration really an easy task?
During the Three Kingdoms, didn't Emperor Sun Quan try to move to Yizhou? But the result? There are corpses and bones everywhere, and later Yizhou was even named the place where the grievances were buried, so you can imagine how much disaster the people suffered during their migration. Nowadays, although the people who have migrated to Yizhou have very few cases of water and soil adaptation, this is also a drawback.
Very little, it doesn't mean that there is none, and it may be that it hasn't completely exploded yet!
Liu Bei is taking risks, and the people are the victims of Liu Bei's loss, Liu Bei also knows this, so over the years, Liu Bei has not gone to Yizhou if he can, because Liu Bei does not want to follow in the footsteps of some pioneers, well, it can also be said that he does not want to die.
In fact, the migration is not as difficult as imagined, if the external conditions are good, after arriving in Yizhou, Liu Bei can provide enough food and daily necessities, naturally there will be no large-scale deaths. But you know, is Koto so rich? Providing food for the people to reach Yizhou has made Jiangdong overspend, although the harvest in Yizhou has been good over the years, but it can't support this bottomless pit!
Therefore, Liu Bei can only give the people three months of food, and the three months of food is still distributed according to a family of three, if there are five, six or even more in a family, then it is inevitable that they will be hungry.
Although Liu Bei is hypocritical, he is indeed a person with a real surname at some times, if Liu Tai hadn't forced him too quickly, Liu Bei would not have been so anxious about the migration, and he would not have forced the people to move to Yizhou too much, but Liu Tai didn't give Liu Bei time!
Seeing that the Tianci army occupies all the areas on the north bank of the Yangtze River, if Liu Bei is not in a hurry, it is really nonsense, and if you want to survive and have the capital to turn the tables, you must naturally have enough population and money and food. In this way, it is inevitable to do some things that are angry with others.
