Chapter 372 Take a step back

Zhang Chao looked at the sand table for a long time.

Sun Shangxiang on the side felt the depression of the atmosphere, and couldn't help but say: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, take a step back and endure a step in order to achieve great things?" ”

"Take a step back?" Hearing this, Zhang Chao's eyebrows were raised, and then his hand suddenly pointed to the sand table and said: "If this is the case, then move the capital and move the Imperial City of Goryeo to the pill capital." ”

Maruto, compared to the terrain, is far more complex than the current imperial city, and fighting there has a lot of help for defense.

Before, the kings of Goryeo also saw this, but they didn't do that, but because they saw that the pill was too close to the Han Dynasty, they were afraid that they would not have time to react if there was a war.

But now, now that Goryeo has declared itself a vassal to the Han Dynasty, such concerns obviously do not exist, and it is now the best time to move the capital.

As long as the imperial city is moved to Marudu, it will be equivalent to more places to deal with the Rus' country, and the transportation of grain, grass and army will be much closer, and once the war starts, there will be many benefits.

Zhang Chao listened to Sun Shangxiang's words, and decided to take a step back, he wanted to exchange space for time, and then he would draw troops from the place where he was subordinate, no matter what, this time he would not make the slightest concession to the Rus State.

is about to move the capital, when this decision was notified to Zhao Yun and Park Zhenli, the two of them had different expressions, but their faces were not too good-looking.

"It doesn't matter, what we lost today, sooner or later we will regain it." It was Zhao Yun, and in the end he patted Park Zhenli's jade hand and comforted him.

"Well, I believe in the husband." Park Zhenli also breathed a sigh of relief, although she couldn't accept it for a while when she said that she would give up the current national capital and move to the new capital, but she did know that from the perspective of the overall situation, this approach was the most correct, otherwise there would be a possibility that the whole country would fall into a crisis.

Both of them agreed, and the matter of moving the capital began to act. Because it is not a normal capital move, this time the action is very fast, unless there are some things that must be brought, and other miscellaneous items are abandoned in advance.

Zhang Chao decided to move the capital, give up the old imperial city, and then look for fighters with the Rus Kingdom near the Maru capital, and when this matter reached Lev's ears, it couldn't help but cause bursts of laughter.

"General, it seems that Zhang Chao is afraid of you." In the big tent, there is a general patting Lev's ass.

"Yes, I think Zhang Chao is just a prince, how can he be the opponent of the general?" The other generals were also slapping horses for a while.

"Haha, hahaha." These words were heard in Lev's ears and made his face even more happy.

When everyone was picking up the obedient words, Yu Feilong, who was standing contemplatively on the side, really spoke: "General, Zhang Chao is implementing a policy of retreating as advance this time, and it seems that he is retreating, but the situation in the pill capital is not conducive to attack, but to defense."

"Oh, what does General Yu think should be done?" The other Rus' generals on the side asked. Of course, this is not a consultation, but a deliberate attempt to find fault with him.

For a while, as the other princes of the Han Dynasty began to unite against Zhang Chao, Yu Feilong's Lev became more and more valuable in the eyes of other generals, and now everyone wished that he would make a fool of himself? Just like now, when everyone is happy, this person really says such a thing, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Yu Feilong naturally knew that what he did caused others to be unhappy, but at this time, he still said unceremoniously, "I think that at this time, we should not wait for them to complete the relocation of the capital, and go straight to the imperial city and kill them by surprise." ”

"Caught off guard, haha, General Yu shouldn't be too whimsical. Will the Han army be unprepared? ”

"Yes, the Han army must have been prepared, rushing forward so recklessly, I'm afraid that I will fall into the trap." Another General Ross stepped forward to speak.

For a while, the generals below were discussing, obviously not agreeing with Yu Feilong's idea.

Lev glanced down and saw that everyone was saying the same thing, so he said: "Okay, I don't think it's a good thing to venture in, so it's better to wait for them to move the capital first." General Yu also rest assured, even if I can force them to give up the old imperial city, then I will naturally force them to give up the new imperial city in the future, in short, this king of Goryeo will be none other than you in the future, hahaha. ”

Even Lev said this, and Yu Feilong was not good at saying something. He was indeed worried that Zhang Chao was designing for them, if this was the case, he was proposing to attack, then he would become the biggest sinner, which was not what he wanted.

Without interference, Zhang Chao's relocation is proceeding in an orderly manner. At the same time, the military order for the urgent transfer of Zhang He of the Fourth Army and Xu Rong of the Sixth Army to Goryeo was also issued.

Zhang He was responsible for guarding Hanoi, and Xu Rong was responsible for guarding Hedong. And because Luoyang became Zhang Chao's territory, their forces began to move forward.

Now that we want to give up the land of Luoyang, naturally there is no need for so many soldiers and horses to defend it, it is enough to have Lu Bu and the vanguard legion, plus Xu Huang and Xu Huang of the five legions guarding Huguan, there must be nothing to worry about.

After the military order was issued, Zhang Chao only waited for the relocation of the capital to be completed, and as soon as the reinforcements arrived, he could have a good battle with Lev, but he gave up the Sili area and prepared for a war, he was determined to defeat Lev's department, and the other party couldn't help but be afraid when he heard his name.

In the waiting of time, Zhang He and Xu Rong, who were far away in the west, also received military orders and began to transfer troops, and Lu Bu also made a return defense under Pang Tong's suggestion, and even gave up preparations to occupy Luoyang.

All this seems to be unfavorable to Zhang Chao, at least he has to pay the price of a state for the war with the Rus' State, and it was at this time that Jia Xu, who went to Yanmen Pass to raise troops, rushed back.

"Lord, great joy, great joy." As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, Jia Xu's hearty laughter came out.

"Wenhe is back, what a joy." Zhang Chao also got up from behind the desk, but although he had a smile on his face, he really didn't think that at this time, there was anything really gratifying.

"Haha, lord, the soldiers of Luoyang don't need to be transferred, I brought you real reinforcements." Jia Xu also knew that Zhang Chao was afraid that he was in a bad mood during this period of time, so he didn't sell it as soon as they met, and he directly told the new news he received.

Jia Xu smiled and said outside: "Come on, come in and meet the lord." ”

"Huang Zhong has seen the lord." As Jia Xu's voice fell, a man about fifty years old came in outside the door, before anyone arrived, Huwei arrived first, this person was Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Legion.

As soon as he suddenly saw Huang Zhong here, Zhang Chao's eyebrows couldn't help but raise and said, "Shouldn't Hansheng be guarding Yanmen?" How did you come to me? ”

"Hehe, the lord doesn't know anything, wait for Xu to say it slowly." Jia Xu on the side seemed to have expected Zhang Chao to ask this question, which was a smile, and then his voice became much softer.

And as Jia Xu continued to narrate, Zhang Chao's face that had been worried for many days finally became good-looking, and in the end, he was excited, and then he laughed and said: "Okay, it really lived up to my expectations." In this way, it is necessary to trouble Wen He to immediately draw up a military order, so that the Fourth Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps do not have to move, and it is important to hold Luoyang. ”

"No." Seeing Zhang Chao's order, Jia Xu also agreed repeatedly, and then turned around to do it.

Not long after Jia Xu returned to the Imperial City of Goryeo, several military orders were issued, and then Zhang He's Fourth Army and Xu Rong's Sixth Army stopped moving, and even Lu Bu, who was returning to defense, returned to his station, as if he was going to compete with the four princes who attacked.

At the same time, the Taishi Ci Department of the Third Army Corps in the Goryeo Imperial City also led 50,000 troops straight to Zhuojun, which was obviously to defend Yuan Shao's department.

In this way, in the imperial city, the army under Zhang Chao only had 100,000 cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Legion and 20,000 soldiers of the 22nd Legion that Huang Zhong had just brought.

At this time, even with the 30,000 Goryeo soldiers under Jin Ming's command, Zhang Chao's army was only 150,000.

With 150,000 against Lev's 200,000, the army is beyond the reach of the army.

This series of actions made the princes mian dazzled, including Lev, who was also a little confused, so he called Yu Feilong and wanted to ask for a plan.

Regarding Zhang Chao's actions, Yu Feilong also couldn't understand it. Before, this person obviously wanted to protect Goryeo, and even did not hesitate to give up his interests in the Han Dynasty for this, but now he is doing this, and he really can't figure it out.

"General, no matter what Zhang Chao does, we will still face fewer enemies, this is a good thing, even if this is the case, why should we worry?" Yu Feilong thought to himself, could it be that Zhang Chao wanted to give up Gaoli? If this is the case, he will never let go of this opportunity.

"Well, that's right. It's a good thing that we have fewer enemies to face, so you can pass on the orders and get the generals ready. Lev nodded as well. He firmly believes that in the face of absolute strength, no conspiracy can succeed.

...... ......

The old imperial city of Goryeo.

Lev finally arrived here with a large army, and entered the imperial city without much difficulty, which is also because the place has long been unguarded by soldiers.

"Hahaha." Entering the Imperial City and entering the Imperial Palace, Lev couldn't help but smile smugly when he saw the grandeur of the buildings here.

For being able to enter the imperial city without a single soldier, Lev is naturally very proud. In his opinion, this is the reason why Zhang Chao gave up being their enemy.

The generals of the Rus' Kingdom who followed behind him also couldn't stop admiring the majesty of the imperial palace here. It's just that in the crowd, Yu Feilong, who can be said to have revisited his hometown, is indeed tense, obviously he can't figure out why he occupied this place so easily.
