"By the way, Your Majesty has just received an urgent report from Youzhou, and Lord Meng's department has just recovered Daijun, and a total of 10,000 Yuwen Xianbei cavalry have been eliminated in this battle." Zhang Bin saw that Sima Shu was no longer entangled, so he told him another good news.

Sima Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and after a few seconds, he asked, "Aiqing is saying that Meng Guan eliminated more than 10,000 Yuwen cavalry and recovered Daijun?" Didn't he send someone a few days ago to say that the battle situation in Youzhou could not make a breakthrough in a short period of time? How is this possible? ”

Sima Shu didn't doubt Meng Guan's ability, but he felt that the progress since the outbreak of this war was too smooth, and he couldn't believe it. Yesterday, he got the news that the Huns had been encircled and the state were encircled, and today he beat the Xianbei people in Youzhou down, he almost subconsciously couldn't believe that this was true, but who dared to fool him with military affairs?

"Your Majesty's news is true! Although the troops in the hands of Lord Meng are not very abundant, there is still no problem in dealing with the Hu people in Youzhou, and there is Murong Diao to contain the Duan clan Xianbei for him, and it is not easy to deal with a Yuwen Mogui alone! Zhang Bin hurriedly replied, he was also very excited to hear the news of Youzhou's victory!

"This Meng Guan is still moving quite fast, originally I thought that if the Youzhou area wanted to make a breakthrough, it would take at least a while to make a breakthrough, but this is good, at least it can make the Han people in Youzhou suffer less." Sima Shu nodded, expressing great satisfaction with Meng Guan's performance.

"Your Majesty, we are about to recover Youzhou, but where should we go for the Murong tribe?" Zhang Bin's most entangled thing at the moment is the Murong tribe, he was born in a traditional scholar. It's really hard to open your mouth to attack your allies.

"What's so hard about that? After taking Youzhou, send someone to ask Murong Diao, as long as Murong Diao is willing to merge into my Great Jin, we can justifiably cut his wings and turn his subordinates. If the other party still has thoughts that they shouldn't have, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Our Great Jin has never had an independent vassal state, does his small Hu clan still want to build an independent country? ”

If Sima Shu was still jealous of Murong Diao, Liu Yuan, Shi Le and others at the beginning, then with the continuous and smooth implementation of the Northern War, he would no longer put them in his eyes, and now Sima Shu has long set his sights on the West-Constantine the Great.

"Your Majesty, will this make other vassal states feel guilty? At present, we are courting the Fuyu country in Liaodong. Wouldn't it be ...... if the other party changed his mind because of this," Zhang Bin asked. Although he was in favor of banning the Duke of Liaodong, he did not want to affect the credibility of the imperial court.

"Hehe, Aiqing, do you think we will have a few more vassal states after this battle?"

Zhang Bin was dumbfounded when he heard this. Yes, after this battle. Basically, there won't be a few vassal states in the Great Jin. Except for the princes of the clan who were deprived of their fiefs. Even Goguryeo, Samhan, Wajima, and the northern Hu people were all wiped out by the Great Jin, so there were really few vassal states left.

"Aiqing, don't care about these things first, since Daijun has been recovered. I don't know what new suggestions the Military Affairs Bureau has for the war situation in Liaodong? Sima Shu asked.

"Your Majesty, the time for the opening of the next stage of the Youzhou Campaign preliminarily determined by the General Staff Military Administration is early May, judging from the current weather conditions, the weather will no longer have a big impact on our army's combat effectiveness, after all, our army has many Central Plains soldiers, and the first time to fight in the north, the impact of the climate is still very large." Zhang Bin replied.

Sima Shu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Is there a detailed battle plan?" ”

"The General Staff Military Administration has made several sets of plans, but when the time comes, General Meng, who is in charge of the front line, will need to make a choice according to the actual situation. The entire Liaodong front will be divided into three battlefields. One is the western road battlefield for the purpose of taking the northern and western counties of Youzhou; ”

"The other way is the middle battlefield for the purpose of containing Duan's Xianbei, this way is mainly for Murong Xianbei to bear the main force, their main task is to drag Duan's Xianbei in the Pingzhou area, so that it will not effectively support the Youzhou battlefield; The last route was the Eastern Battlefield, whose main purpose was to defeat Goguryeo, and the navy was needed to assist the army in launching an offensive from Vladivostok. ”

"The first step in the whole campaign plan is to take Quang Ninh County, Sanggu County and destroy Goguryeo, and the second step is to continue to recover the entire Youju and Binh Ju to the north, and completely drive the Hu people out of our territory. The last step is to quickly send troops to rectify the Hu people in the entire Liaodong region after we have completely mastered Youzhou, and recapture a large area of territory in the Liaodong region in order to broaden our strategic depth in the northeast! Zhang Bin continued.

Sima Shu nodded in agreement when he heard this, the main purpose of this battle was to eliminate the Hu separatist forces in several semi-independent states in the north. However, the strength of the Hu people is too strong, and it is a little unrealistic to want to eat the entire Hu people in one bite. At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, the strength of the Hu people was too strong, not to mention the tribes such as Tuoba and Rouran who ruled the Mobei grassland, even the Hu people such as the Xiongnu, Qian, Qiang, and Di also had the strength to establish a hegemony.

In this case, Sima Shu didn't think about destroying all the Hu people in a battle, at least for the time being, he still had no way to take the Tuoba tribe in the north. Mobei is too big, and the logistical pressure alone is enough to crush the economic construction of the Great Jin Dynasty, which has just improved. After consolidating the fruits of this victory, when the economy of the Great Jin Dynasty rises to a higher level, the Great Jin Dynasty will be able to launch the Mobei War. Sima Shu didn't want to be the next Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played the prestige of the Han people, but he also dragged down the whole country.

"Well, the proposal of the General Administration of the Military Service is feasible, and it seems that everyone is not carried away by the victory in front of them. It is not bad to be able to maintain a calm heart that is modest and cautious, not bad! Sima Shu praised.

"Hehe, yes, the quality of these graduates and the higher officer academy to join the army is very high, although they have no actual combat experience, but they are very strong in theory."

The war that broke out between the Hu and Han in the north has become the war with the largest number of troops and the largest mobilization of logistical forces since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and its importance is no less than that of the war against the Xiongnu launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the Hu people had many tribes and a large army, which could pose the most direct threat to the Han people.

For Dajin, this is both a challenge but also an opportunity. If Huaxia can achieve the final victory, then the fate of the Great Jin will be completely changed, and the fate of Huaxia will also move towards a more brilliant future. The Great Jin will also become the sole hegemon in the entire Asian region.

And Sima Shu didn't want to just stare at the two states like ordinary Jin people, his eyes had already been aimed at the entire Northeast region. He attaches so much importance to the Northeast region because the Northeast plays a very important role in the entire history of China. Knowing that more than one-third of the 2,000-year-old history of China's imperial civilization was actually established by ethnic minorities who developed in Northeast China, he was very aware of the strategic importance of Northeast China in later generations.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the chaos of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu for many years, the strength of the Han people in the Central Plains greatly declined, and there was no suppression of the Xiongnu, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xianbei people in the northeast began to gradually become stronger, and began to advance to the Central Plains, after more than 200 years, northern China was basically ruled by the regime established by the Xianbei people, but there was no lack of war, which was the "five Hu Chaohua" period in history.

Although not explicitly recorded in history, it is estimated that the Han Chinese population in the Central Plains region has declined by at least 70%. It also contributed to the first great integration of various ethnic groups in China. During this period, because there were no Xiongnu in the north, the main force of Xianbei also entered the Central Plains, and some of the Xianbei tribes who remained in the northeast developed westward to establish the Rouran Khanate, but soon collapsed under the blow of the Northern Wei Dynasty (Tuoba), and some fled back to the northeast and west of today's Inner Mongolia. The other part ran to the central part of Liaoning, and later developed into 'Khitan', and later established the country 'Liao'.

Sima Shu attached great importance to the Northeast region, in addition to the frequent invasion of the Central Plains by the Hu people in the region in later generations, another very important reason is that this region has no less fertile land than the Central Plains, which can become another granary of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The water surrounds the mountains and the fertile fields are the basic characteristics of the ground structure in the Northeast in the later generations, and the soil quality is mainly black soil, which is the natural basis for the development of large-scale agriculture. Moreover, the northeast and south are the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the east and north are surrounded by the Yalu River, the Tumen River, the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River, and only the west is the land boundary. The inner side is the high mountains, middle mountains, low mountains and hills of the Great and Small Xing'an Mountains and the Changbai Mountains, and the central part is the vast Songliao Great Plain and the Bohai Sea Sag.

The area of the Northeast Plain is higher than that of the national plain, and the total area of the Northeast Plain, the Hulunbuir High Plain and the inter-mountain flat land is almost equal to the area of the mountainous area. Northeast China has about 100 million acres of wasteland, which is rare in China with great potential.

It was Sima Shu who knew the importance of the Northeast region so well, so after the Huns in Bingzhou gradually declined, Sima Shu gradually set his sights on the northeast. As the Jin army intensified its offensive in the northeast, Xianbei, who were scattered in this area, felt more and more pressure.

Especially Yuwen Mogui was deeply touched, when Yuwen Mogui learned the news that Daijun was recovered by the Jin army, he was so frightened that he fell directly from his chair.

"How can the whole army be destroyed? What did Qiu Buqin's stupid pig do? Give the others to this list immediately! Yuwen Mogui, who reacted, seemed to be an angry lion. Originally, after learning the news that the Jin army was heading north, he was a little worried. Still, he had some illusions.

He felt that even if the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry of Daijun was not the opponent of the Jin army, he could at least delay the other party for a month, or even if he was defeated, he could escape calmly. But now the news from Daijun made him completely desperate! The 30,000 Xianbei cavalry is gone, you must know that his entire Yuwen tribe is only 80,000. Even if nearly one-third of the troops were killed in this battle, how could they fight with the Jin army in the future? (To be continued......)
