Chapter 503
readx;
In 198 years of China, at the beginning of April, the defense line of Danyang County in Yangzhou was broken, and the Tianci army attacked the hinterland of Danyang strongly, and in a few days, most of the county fell into the hands of the Tianci army, and then the general of the left army, Gao Shun, led 100,000 troops to besiege Moling City, and the entire Danyang Jiucheng Gate Lords were trapped in Moling City.

Gao Shun was not in a hurry to attack Moling City, but with the intention of encircling the point to send reinforcements. At this point, Liu Tai did not object, and completely handed over the command of the Left Route Army to Gao Shun.
Moling is the seat of Danyang, and it is also the seat of the entire Yangzhou in Liu Bei's era, and most of the base camps of the gate lord clan are also in Moling City. Although Liu Bei fled to Yizhou and took away most of the gate lords, scholars, and merchants, the number of remaining clans in Moling City was still very terrifying.
However, the combat power of the coalition formed by these families is really vulnerable, and they can't resist a charge from the Tianci army at all, fighting against this kind of army, not only Liu Tai, but even Gao Shun has a bit of a family feeling. Now that Moling is surrounded, the major families in Yangzhou will be extremely nervous, if the command of Moling is lost, then the entire Yangzhou will really become a plate of loose sand.
But the question is, do the families of other counties have the ability to shake the 100,000 Tianci army besieging Moling? Even if those family leaders are arrogant, they won't go to Moling to die, right? Therefore, Gao Shun's original plan was overturned in a few days, and in the end, he had no choice but to storm Moling.
There is no doubt that under the strong attack of the 100,000 Tianci army, Moling could not resist even half a day. As a result, Danyang County, the military-political center of Yangzhou, completely fell into the hands of the Tianci Army.
Now Yangzhou is still stubbornly resisting, as well as Wu County and Huizhi County. Needless to say, most of the cities and counties are defended by local families, and now that Danyang has fallen, they will definitely lose the courage to continue to fight against the Tianci army, and as long as the army arrives, they will naturally open the city and surrender.
On the Wu side, there is still a garrison of the Jiangdong Army.
There are not many of them, about 20,000.
The purpose of the 20,000 Jiangdong Army staying in Wu County was naturally not to fight against the Tianci Army, but to take advantage of the last time to send Wu County's population, materials, and money to Yizhou. You know, now the clear-eyed people in Yangzhou know that they can't keep it, so why not take it away?
And due to the repeated collapse of the front line, Wu County and Huizhi County, who originally wanted to resist stubbornly, also had to follow in the footsteps of the Jiangdong Army and retreat to Yizhou, they didn't want to die, at least they didn't want to drag their families to die! Even if there was no guilt in the past, after participating in the Gate Valve Alliance to resist the southward movement of the Heavenly Army, he became guilty!
According to reliable sources, in recent times, due to Liu Bei's retreat, the public order in Jiangdong has been chaotic countless times, and some families have acted lawlessly and without the slightest scruples at all.
After being angry, Liu Tai naturally would not let go of these family members, not only ordered the arrest of these people, but also began to collect criminal evidence from the people. Now Liu Tai is about to dominate the world, it is impossible to do everything as he did before, right?
The most important thing for the establishment of a dynasty is the soundness of the legal system, and to ensure the majesty of the legal system, it is natural to start with Liu Tai, the highest person. As the saying goes, if the prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people!
Of course, this sentence is nonsense in every dynasty, and it has not been actually implemented at all. Even Liu Tai himself is helpless! Liu Tai relied on killing to establish the world, and in the future, the prince under his knees, naturally there will be people like Liu Tai, is it possible that if they kill one person, Liu Tai will kill his son?
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Liu Tai really understands at this time.
However, despite this, Liu Tai will still try his best to ensure the soundness and effectiveness of the legal system, and if there are really any high-level figures who make mistakes in the future, Liu Tai will also come up with ways to correspond to each other, at least for the time being, those things are too far to consider.
Once, Liu Tai didn't need to find any reason to deal with the gate lord clan, just waved his hand, and hundreds of heads would fall to the ground, which was the wonderful use of power, but now, in order to ensure the status of the court and give the gate lord clan a fair belief, Liu Tai must be convicted by law, kill those who should be killed, and let go of those who should not be killed.
In fact, the most important thing in Liu Tai's move is to redeem some gate lords who have not committed major crimes. Although it is said that the gate lord clan is a cancer to the Han Dynasty, their existence has indeed contributed to the centralization of the imperial court, and no court can completely break away from the gate lord clan, even if Liu Tai has now swept away the older generation of gate lord clan, but in the future, he will personally cultivate a batch!
And this batch will be even more difficult!
Not convinced? Imagine, with the power of Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others today, will the future achievements of their descendants be poor? In some things, can Liu Tai not sell face? And if Liu Tai's descendants want to better rule the world in the future, they naturally need the assistance of Gao Shun and others
In this way, under the mutual cycle, new gate lords will inevitably come out again, and unlike the previous gate lords, they do not have direct land and slaves. But there is a sentence that is good, there is a policy at the top, and there is a countermeasure at the bottom
Liu Tai is very helpless, Liu Tai, who knows the darkness of officialdom, can have a way to deal with these things? No matter how great the authority is, if you manage it for a while, you can't manage it for a hundred years or a thousand years. Therefore, Liu Tai saw it, and from the moment the prince was born, Liu Tai's edges and corners were smoothed out a lot!
Since many things can't be completely solved, why should Liu Tai be so distressed? In Liu Tai's view, it is enough for him to give China a prosperous era, and the emergence of this prosperous era, I am afraid that Liu Tai's life may not be enough, in Liu Tai's imagination, the future Han Dynasty will be the most vast and powerful mythical dynasty in history!
Overlord of Heaven and Earth!!
In 198 years in China, Danyang broke in mid-April, and there was no obstacle on the way to the south, at this moment Gao Shun had no scruples, and the last opponent of the entire Yangzhou was only 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers of Wu County, and these 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses could leave Wu County at any time. After all, Liu Bei is not a fool, since he is not capable of the enemy, how could Liu Bei be willing to waste 20,000 troops?
In the same month, Liu Tai ordered Cao Ying to lead 30,000 troops to attack the Huizhi County, and according to reliable sources, due to the turmoil in Yangzhou, the mountain tribes that had been suppressed by Liu Bei began to move again, and recently they continued to plunder the cities and counties south of the Guild, causing heavy losses to the people.
It is indeed a bit overkill to deal with the membership counties and Shanyue soldiers and horses, but with such an arrangement, Liu Tai also has a plan in his heart, that is, Cao Ying's promotion in the Tianci army is too fast, and he has not made any military achievements, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied, and if Cao Ying successfully quells the turmoil in the membership county and the Shanyue tribes, then no one will say anything again.
At that time, Liu Tai can rely on Cao Ying's merits to send Cao Ying to the Western Regions to take office, of course, Liu Tai cannot hand over the entire Xizhou to Cao Ying, but let Cao Ying always form an army, anyway, after the unification of the world, it is the time when the Tianci army is reorganized, and the new army formed by Cao Ying will naturally not have any obstacles.
Cao Ying did not disappoint Liu Tai, after the army left Yuzhang County, it went straight to the Huiji County, and the first battle made the Guild Gate Lords flee like rats, and countless Gate Lords and Clans fell in despair, and the plundering teams of the Shanyue Departments also quickly exchanged hands with Cao Ying.
Just imagine, Liu Bei was able to beat Shanyue to heavy losses, and now that Cao Ying, who commanded the Tianci Army, is on the field, what good can Shanyue's various departments get? The facts are obvious, under Cao Ying's suppression, the Shanyue tribes complained bitterly, and the situation was several times more miserable than Liu Bei's power in Yangzhou, of course, all this was a few months later.
At the same time, there was also a new change in the battle situation in Jingzhou, that is, Zhao Yun broke through Jiangling City! As soon as Jiangling City was broken, the entire Nanjun was suddenly full of holes, and there was no power to fight back in the face of the Tianci army.
Zhao Yun did not stop the pace of the southern expedition, after all, the southern county was not satisfied. According to intelligence, most of the main forces of the Sun clan retreated to Changsha, and among the four counties of Jingnan, Changsha County was the leader.
However, what made Zhao Yun scruple the most was not the Jingnan Army of Changsha County, but Sun Cejun, who could retreat from the Tianxi battlefield at any time. Sun Ce's prestige in Tianxi has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and the territory of Tianxi under his control is afraid that there are already several counties and counties of the Han Dynasty, and as for the strength of troops, it has more than doubled.
With enough cannon fodder troops, it will be Zhao Yun who should be feared. Zhao Yun didn't want the elite soldiers of the Tianci Army to be wasted on the cannon fodder troops of the Tianxi Kingdoms, this deal was not cost-effective! Although Zhao Yun's right army has nearly 250,000 troops, these 25 armies are not only shouldering the task of conquering the Jingnan region, but also attacking Jiaozhou!
The most important thing is that every time a city is captured, Zhao Yun must assign a certain number of soldiers and horses to garrison it, otherwise when the Sun clan and Zhao Yun start playing guerrilla warfare, then Zhao Yun will have to cry.
In fact, Zhao Yun put all the burden on himself, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.
Although Liu Tai hoped that the battle of Jingnan and even Jiaozhou could be solved by Zhao Yun, fortunately, after the unification of the world, Zhao Yun was successfully promoted to the throne of a five-star general. But Liu Tai didn't say that Zhao Yun had to bear all the pressure, you know, Liu Tai's 300,000 Chinese troops are still stationed in Jiangxia, and they can go south down the river to attack the Changsha area at any time, and when the time comes, more than 500,000 troops will be linked, no matter how much the Sun clan plays, they won't be able to make any waves.
In 198 Huaxia, at the beginning of May, Zhao Yun led 100,000 Tianci troops to the edge of Dongting Lake north of Changsha, and wanted to recruit ships from the islands around Dongting Lake, but he didn't expect that the countless islands that were originally entrenched on these islands were all lost at once, as if half of the agreement had been made.
In this way, Zhao Yun, who did not have enough boats to cross the river, could only be trapped on the north bank, and if the water division was transferred from Jiangdong, it would take at least more than a month, that is to say, Zhao Yun could not go south in a short time, of course, it was not completely impossible to go south, as long as he found the Dongting Lake water thieves who had lost their traces, Zhao Yun could requisition enough boats to cross the river.
There is a lot of water in the east of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is naturally not too much, and Dongting Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in China, and the surrounding people who live by the water are innumerable, but these people's boats are generally ordinary fishing boats, and they cannot be requisitioned for military use at all.
You know, the heads of the Gatelord Clan are not fools, how could they watch the Tianci Army cross the river? I am afraid that the disappearance of the water thieves in Dongting Lake is their masterpiece, in order not to requisition the ships of the water thieves for Zhao Yun, perhaps many gate lords have long expected that the Tianci army will be menacing in the south, and the sailors in the north are only 60,000 at full, and Liu Bei has not completely defeated the money, and it is difficult for these 60,000 sailors to enter the Jingzhou territory to help Zhao Yun.
Can he become the overlord of one side, will the leader of the gate lord clan be a fool? As long as there is no help from 60,000 sailors, Zhao Yun's 200,000 army will not be able to cross the river at all! In fact, in the calculation of Liu Tai's strategist group, the sailor troops should reach Jingzhou in a month to two months, after all, the Sun clan in Jingzhou is not easy to deal with, but who would have thought that Sun Jian would give up the prosperous Nanjun so decisively
This was unexpected!
So Zhao Yun's situation is also embarrassing, of course, with Zhao Yun's military ability, it is impossible to sit still, so after getting a certain source, Zhao Yun took a group of people and fishermen's boats to secretly look for the Dongting water thieves, and it is better to find it, if you can't find it, then you can only wait for the Tianci military sailors from Jiangdong.
