Chapter 809: The Great War Resumes
The various princes of the Han Empire recruited troops, and even the Western Regions Protectorate, which was far away in the Western Regions and Central Asia, were mobilized and involved in the Great War.
Other great civilizations are also watching to see the victory or defeat between the several major princes of the Han Empire, and the Han Empire may become their powerful opponent in the future, so they are watching the move of the Han Empire.
Alexander in the West regarded Chutian as the only and powerful opponent, and when he learned that the civil war of the Han Empire broke out again, his feelings were very complicated, Chutian was considered by Alexander to be the most powerful opponent, and if he failed like this, then it would be too boring in the future. But if he unifies the Han Empire, he could be an unprecedented, desperately powerful adversary.
Alexander couldn't help but sigh.
"How the Han Empire is unified, there will be a desperate behemoth born."
Constantine, the lord of the Roman Empire, came to North Africa with the intention of turning it into a colony of the Roman Empire.
He also had a premonition that the Han Empire would have a bloody storm that would determine the fate of the Han Empire, and once the Han Empire was unified, it would become a behemoth with the population size of the Han Empire.
The current Han Empire is not such a big threat to the West, because the princes within the Han Empire are in strife and wars, so there is no danger to the Western Continent for the time being.
However, once the Han Empire is unified, then an empire that is more powerful than ever before will be born.
In St. Petersburg, Catherine is also paying attention to the unification of the Han Empire on the Eastern Continent: "This time Chutian is finally going to move in earnest. ”
In Toei District, the daimyo Oda Nobunaga captured a city under Kenshin Uesugi, another powerful daimyō.
Uesugi Kenshin could not withstand the constant attacks of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the difference in national strength between the two sides was so great that there was no one who could stop Oda Nobunaga from unifying Toei.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, an ally of Oda Nobunaga, stood beside Oda Nobunaga and said to him, "The retainers of the Inhumans have informed me that the northern part of the Han Empire may be unified. Your Excellency should issue an order as soon as possible, announcing the end of the troubled times, and plundering more people before the unification of the Han Empire. ”
"More than one Inhuman has said that to me."
Oda Nobunaga looked at the army of Kenshin Uesugi, who was known as the god of war, on the other side.
The gap in national strength and military strength between the two sides is no longer something that can be bridged by the ability of a commander-in-chief.
No matter how good Hannibal was, he was defeated by Rome.
There are two ways for the territory of Dongying to unify the entire civilization area, one way, like the Han Empire, to wage war to eliminate all the daimyos, leaving only Oda Nobunaga as a daimyo. Another way is to issue a decree that there is nothing to do in the world after having enough strength to override the other daimyos, announce the end of the troubled times, and form a shogunate, and the daimyo still retain their fiefdoms and real power, and can even recruit troops.
Oda Nobunaga had to make a choice.
"I wanted to completely unify Dongying and leave no hidden dangers, but the situation doesn't seem to allow me to do so, if the issuance of a general order can reduce casualties, then do it."
Oda Nobunaga has already made up his mind.
If the expansion began after the unification of the Han Empire, then it would be too late, and the population of Yidongying would definitely not be able to compete with the unified Han Empire.
Dunhuang County, more than 100,000 troops of the Western Regions Protectorate gathered, banners covered the sky, soldiers and horses were continuous, as long as dozens of miles.
"160,000 soldiers and horses have been assembled in Dunhuang!"
"Pass through the Yumen Pass and attack Xiliang!"
Xu Fengnian did not hesitate.
He was familiar with the terrain of Xiliang, so he was the best choice to attack Liangzhou.
Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Western Liang generals were also very excited, because they could return to Liangzhou and be called the magnates of Western Liang, which proved that they were not wrong to follow Xu Fengnian.
Ma Chao took the lead and led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that came out of Xiliang as a pioneer.
This time to recover Liangzhou, Huo An lent his general Huo Qubing to Xu Fengnian, in order to help Xu Fengnian recapture Xiliang.
160,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions, marching all the way to Yumen Pass, they could already see the majestic city wall.
At this time, it has been two or three years since the last battle of Yumen Pass, the city wall of Yumen Pass still has traces of the great war at that time, the Mongolian army attacked Yumen Pass with a large number of catapults, resulting in the collapse of part of the wall of Yumen Pass, the ruins of the wall can be seen everywhere, Huangfu Song, one of the three heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in this place.
"The spring breeze does not pass the jade gate."
Xu Fengnian passed through the old battlefield and couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Xu Fengnian wants to return to Liangzhou, we betrayed him at the beginning, in case it falls into his hands, the consequences can be imagined."
Xu Fengnian led an army of 160,000 to the east, Longxi County, Wudu County, Hanyang County, and the three counties were too guarded, panicked, they betrayed Xu Fengnian at the beginning, and led the Guanzhong army into Xiliang, causing Xu Fengnian to withdraw from Liangzhou, and now they are worried that Xu Fengnian will settle accounts after the autumn, and they can't live in panic
"Immediately gather soldiers and horses, Xu Fenglin, he is no longer the original king of Liangzhou. He is now just a subordinate general of the Western Regions Protectorate, so why should we worry. ”
Although the three Yiren Taishou despised Xu Fengnian in their words, they knew that Xu Fengnian had several quite reliable generals, and Ma Teng and Han Sui never betrayed him.
If Xu Fengnian was allowed to return to Xiliang, their good days would come to an end, so they immediately recruited soldiers and horses, organized an army of more than 100,000, and went to Wuwei County to resist the army of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Xu Fengnian led the 160,000 troops of the Western Regions Protectorate to pass through the Yumen Pass, and the entire Han Empire was alarmed.
Clear-eyed people have come out, the Western Regions Protectorate is no longer neutral, and Huo Qing, the deputy capital of the Western Regions Protectorate, has moved into the Xia Wang's Mansion, so the Western Regions Protectorate has actually joined the Xiacheng Alliance.
Now, the Luoyang Alliance already has four princes: Lao Qin, Mingguan, Liu Bei, and Shuotang, while the Xiacheng Alliance has four princes: Chutian, Huo An, Mu Ke, and Zhang Dao.
Eight princes, a big fight.
In addition, some princes in the south were indifferent, did not clearly stand in which camp, or sat on the wall and watched, and did not care about themselves, hanging high.
In the Nanban region of Yizhou, a few teleportation arrays were opened, and Huo An led several generals from the Western Regions Protectorate, as well as a team of soldiers and horses from the Western Regions Protectorate to the Nanban region to support Mu Ke.
Mu Ke led Qin Liangyu, Vulture Gu and other generals to greet him.
The white pole soldiers lined up in a row, and behind them were dense rattan armor troops.
The huge body of the vulture bone is condescending, with a hint of the battle of Kunyang, and the demeanor of a fierce general. It's just that the vultures still seem to be inferior to the Big Mac.
In terms of size, the vultures still can't be compared to the Big Mac.
In addition to the white pole soldiers and vine armor soldiers, there is also a murderous mountain infantry - the legendary Wudang Flying Army!
"I didn't expect to see the Wudang Flying Army here."
Huo An was surprised by Mu Ke's heritage.
Although he and Mu Ke are husband and wife, they each develop their own power.
Mu Ke has the ability to suppress the barbarian tribes of the Southern Barbarians, and his strength is naturally impossible to be weak
"Liu Bei has gathered troops and horses in Chengdu, and at the same time colluded with Yang Su, Yang Su recruited troops in Ba County, the target may be Nanban, but Nanban is not so easy for Liu Bei to overcome, Wudang Flying Army, White Pole Soldiers, and Rattan Armor Soldiers are all good at fighting between mountains and forests, and they are as fast as flying."
