Chapter 749: The Great War Breaks Out in the North!
Yecheng, 80,000 Wei warriors assembled, black armor, dark lining, long ge, like black clouds.
Wu Qi ascended to the platform of worshipping generals, and Wei Wuji and Pang Juan served as Wu Qi's deputy generals when they attacked Guanzhong.
These three generals are already the first-class generals of Wei, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and their opponents are mainly the generals of Qin.
"Eighty thousand Wei soldiers, of which 10,000 are soldiers of a hundred battles, 20,000 are elite divisions, and 50,000 recruits."
In Wu Qi's hands, the most elite Wei Wushu was still Pang Juan's soldiers.
Pang Juan began to fight in all directions very early, and his Wei Wushu was also the most experienced Wei Wushu soldier.
The second was Wei Wuji's soldiers, whose soldiers had also experienced major battles, but were not as experienced as Pang Juan's.
"King Xia ordered us to take Hanoi and Hedong, and we need to attack and win, and we must win the battle, and we must draw the worst of the worst."
Wu Qi proposed a very simple goal, but to Pang Juan's ears, his face was not very good-looking, and this small goal was difficult.
In "Lord", the fierce generals are like clouds, who dares to say that they are undefeated?
Even the most brilliant commanders have been sudden, such as Cao Cao was attacked by Ma Chao and led by cavalry in Weishui; The most ferocious general, when he was also exhausted, the overlord Xiang Yu pulled out the mountains and rivers, and there was also a defeat.
"Eighty thousand Wei warriors, how many Qin Ruishi will Guanzhong use to compete with them?"
Wei Wuji held a topographical map of Heluo, the most elite legion of the Guanzhong Army was Qin Ruishi, and Wei Wushu was also the elite legion that Chutian used to deal with Qin Ruishi.
In addition to the 80,000 Wei warriors, there were also two legions of Feng Yi and Chen Qingzhi, with about 100,000 foot cavalry.
Feng Yi's lieutenant is Zhang He, who is already familiar with Yecheng.
However, the goal of the 180,000 foot cavalry was to capture Sanhe, follow the plan, and open the road to Guanzhong.
Wu Qi thought for a while: "At least 100,000." β
A civil official came over: "Weapons, grain and grass, and war horses have all been counted, and as long as King Xia gives an order, you can attack Hanoi." β
Wu Qi's army does not have a military division, because Wu Qi's intelligence does not need a military division, and it is a waste to match Wu Qi with a military division.
But the Jizhou Army has a special Minister of the Interior, who is responsible for logistics.
This person was originally Zhao Long's minister, but after being captured by Chutian, he surrendered to Chutian and governed Jizhou.
The Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, mainly relying on the strength of Yang Su and Gao Gong.
Yang Su, who was good at unifying the army, fled to Yizhou, while Gao Gong, who was good at internal affairs, stayed in Jizhou.
Wu Qi was in charge of the Jizhou Army, and Gao Gong became a civilian official in charge of logistics.
Although Wu Qi can also serve as a civil official, after all, a person's energy is limited, and he has no skills.
Next, just wait for Chu Tian's order.
In the Xia Wangfu, Chu Tian was deciding the timing of the attack on Guanzhong.
Once a major war is provoked, then the entire Han Empire will fall into chaos.
"Lao Qin has personally sat in Luoyang, and hundreds of thousands of people are guarding Luoyang, wanting to block my offensive. Mingguan went to Liaoxi, most likely to launch an attack on Youzhou in response to Lao Qin. The timing of the actions of the two men, almost identical, was clearly premeditated. β
Chu Tian marked the soldiers and horses deployed by Lao Qin in Guanzhong.
Wang Jian had at least 50,000 Qin Ruishi.
Meng Wu and Li Xin may also have Qin Ruishi.
The combination of Wang Jian and Meng Wu and Li Xin is similar to the combination of Wu Qi and Pang Juan and Wei Wuji.
"The threat of Mingguan is probably no less than that of Lao Qin. The determination of the Liaodong Army to enter the customs is not trivial, and the Liaodong Army is good at attacking. β
Chutian had already discovered that there were Liaoxi Army, Wuhuan Third Division, Xianbei Third Division, and Liaodong Sixth Army that could be dispatched in Mingguan, as well as a team of Jurchen Eight Banners that Chutian was not very familiar with.
"Do you need me to lead the Shenji Battalion and conquer Guanzhong?"
Xia Liang knew that this was the most difficult and important battle that Chutian could have.
The princes competed in the Central Plains, and those who won the north in ancient times won the world.
If the Han Empire's Northern War was lost, it would have been a failure.
"You stay in the Xia Wangfu and are responsible for logistics, and the Shenji Battalion is used to deal with Liaodong, where there may be firearms and troops. The Western Regions are not calm, we are thinking about expanding our power, the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Ogedei, he is also looking for an opportunity to build a large empire across Central Asia and South Asia, we may need to speed up and take Luoyang. β
Chu Tian intended to go out in person.
Wu Qi is a sharp blade, but to drive the cavalry to attack Guanzhong, Chu Tian still has to go out in person.
Lao Qin and Ming Guan are desperate, they have already gone to war, and Chu Tian will also respond to the enemy.
"My subordinate army has been recruited, and it can only be trained in battle."
Xiao Xuan has shared the burden of being cool in summer to a certain extent, and her characteristics can also complement Chu Tian.
"There is no need for other excuses to unify the Han Empire, we can start a big war at any time, but we need to bear the consequences."
Chu Tian did not make up his mind to provoke a big war for a long time.
Once the war starts, it is either won or defeated.
After the defeat of the war, all the inheritance will be wiped out in a few years, and you may even die in the battle.
Some generals are good at raiding and breaking formations, rather than fighting in large armies, such as Li Cunxiao and Lu Bu, and even commanders may be attacked by them.
"Whatever the outcome, we'll bear it together."
Summer Liang clenched Chutian's hand.
"Me too."
Hua Mulan also walked over and held Chu Tian's other hand.
"Even if I am defeated, Wu'er and Xuan'er can still take refuge in St. Petersburg, which can be regarded as a way out."
Chutian was not completely without a way out, at least, there was St. Petersburg as a stronghold after the defeat.
Temujin fled from Mobei to the Golden Horde, and until now, Γgedei and MΓΆngke have retained part of Temujin's power.
Joan of Arc was holding her daughter, and Emperor Roufu, who lacked a sense of existence, was also looking at Chu Tian, waiting for his decision.
"The Han Empire will be unified sooner or later, that is to say, this war will break out sooner or later, since you have chosen the road of chasing the Central Plains, then you don't have to be afraid."
Chutian was obsessed with the unification of the Han Empire.
In fact, every prince of the Han Empire had the highest goal of unifying the Han Empire, and the concept of great unification was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This is not the same as the Mughal Empire in India. The princely states of the Mughal Empire in India tended to be divided.
The Han Empire could not be unified quickly, because the various princes were very powerful, managing their own territories, and combining vertical and horizontal.
Even if there is a concept of great unification, troubled times will last for decades.
"Order the three generals Wu Qi, Feng Yi, and Chen Qingzhi to capture Hanoi County, Hedong County, Henan Yin, and take Luoyang!"
Chu Tian seemed to have made up his mind, and finally gave the order to unveil the prelude to the Great War in the North!
A piece of paper to provoke the long-silent war for the unification of the Han Empire!
The Dungeon of the Battle of Jingkang and the Fourth National War once interrupted the process of unification of the Han Empire, and now, after the National War, the various princes have increased their strength, which means that the war is even more tragic!
"The Empire Unifies ......"
Xiao Sui found that the scale of this war may be more exaggerated than the Han Empire's expedition to the Western Regions and Mobei, because this time a major war broke out within the Han Empire, and it was too easy to supply troops.
For the expedition to the Western Regions, because of the difficulty in supplying grain and grass, it was already rare to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
In the battle in Guanzhong, when the two sides were about to fight, it was not a problem for each to bring a million troops.
"King Xia has an order, with General Wu Qi as the general of the expedition to the west, and the Taishou of Hedong, to attack Hanoi and Hedong, cross Mengjin, and General Le Yi to join forces in Luoyang!"
The order of the Xia Wangfu reached Yecheng, and Wu Qi, Feng Yi, and Chen Qingzhi immediately reorganized the troops and horses.
Xia Wangfu has finally officially provoked a big war, this time, Guanzhong, Heluo, and Longxi will be in full swing!
No one is willing to give up the power in their hands, and only through a big war can they decide the winner.
In addition, a big war can destroy the interests of local groups and establish a new order.
80,000 Wei soldiers, 5,000 running soldiers, 5,000 halberd soldiers, 5,000 Tang elite archers, 7,000 white-robed troops, 8,000 white horse volunteers, a total of 110,000 special troops, 70,000 low-level troops, left Yecheng and attacked Hanoi County!
Hanoi County and Hedong County, located north of the Yellow River, captured two places, to the west can cross the Yellow River and attack the Xihe area, and to the south can cross the Yellow River and attack Luoyang.
The mobilization of 180,000 vanguard soldiers and horses in Yecheng soon caused an uproar in the Han Empire!
Everyone knows that after the end of the national war, the princes within the Han Empire began to stand in line, and now, the Xianyang Alliance and the Xiacheng Alliance have finally broken out into a great war to determine the hegemony of the north!
Many people in the north began to flee to the south or to counties in the north that were unlikely to be affected.
The county, located between the three princes, was almost empty.
In order to avoid too many dead and wounded and hurt the national strength, the princes moved the border population to the rear in addition to the soldiers and auxiliaries.
"The war has finally begun, and this is an undeclared war. Attacking Sili from Jizhou, the main general was indeed Wu Qi. Is his target Luoyang or the Xihe region? β
Lao Qin sat in Luoyang and deployed troops along the Mengjin and Bishan areas.
An envoy came to pay a visit to Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"I need to rely on Nanyang's troops. It is said that Tang made a trend of attacking Xuchang and delayed Le Yi in Xuchang. I don't want Le Yi to join forces with Wu Qi. Dealing with a Wu Qi has made me walk on thin ice. β
Lao Qin looked at Wei Zheng, who arrived from Nanyang.
said that Tang only appeared at this time, undoubtedly sitting on the ground.
Wei Zheng asked, "What benefits can we get from being too guarded?" β
"Defeat Chu Zimou, the entire Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and even Xuzhou and Qingzhou are his."
"Four states?!"
Wei Zheng was shocked by Lao Qin's generosity.
Lao Qin ceded the territory of the four states to Tang just to gain Tang's support.
Lao Qin's promise also has the meaning of an attic in the air, because the premise of obtaining the four states is to defeat Chutian.
"I'll tell us Taishou, and he'll decide whether or not to participate in the big battle. Nanyang County is a large county, with a population of nearly 10 million and strong strength, and it is hoped that King Qin will be able to keep his promise at that time. β
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."
"Farewell."
Wei Zheng left Luoyang City.
The gates of Luoyang City are all Qin Ruishi who are wearing perseverance.
Qin Ruishi fought in the south and the north, and there was no major defeat, and his morale was like a big one.
Qin Ruishi's advantage over Wei Wushu is that Qin Ruishi has been on the stage for a longer time, has participated in more major battles, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has a higher proportion of veterans.
Wei Zheng saw the morale of the Qin army, and he had a bottom in his heart.
If the Qin army has no possibility of resisting the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains, then standing on the side of Lao Qin is tantamount to seeking his own death.
But there are some possibilities to win.
Risk means benefit.
"Lu Feng will meet the lord first!"
After Wei Zheng left, LΓΌ Bu came to see Lao Qin.
"The Xia army is menacing, do you have the confidence to break it?"
"I, Lu Feng, kill the King of Xia first, it's like killing a chicken dog!"
"If you can kill the King of Xia, then I will play the Son of Heaven and crown you as the King of Qi, and Xuzhou and Qingzhou as your fiefdoms. When I die, I can even inherit the throne of King Qin. β
"Really?!"
When Lu Bu heard that Lao Qin was going to crown himself king, and it was even possible to inherit Lao Qin's inheritance, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Originally, he just wanted to become a state pastor and become a general, but he was already at the end, but he didn't expect that Lao Qin planned to crown him as the king and choose him as his heir!
"Father-in-law, the child will live up to expectations!"
Lu Bu kowtowed repeatedly.
Lao Qin really has nothing to say to him, BMW, beauties, gold and silver, all for him.
"We must do our best in this battle, otherwise, we will fall into the hands of Chu Zimou and will definitely be killed by him. This is the information that my scouts have discovered, and the king of Xia intends to buy you, cross the river and tear down the bridge afterwards, and behead you in Luoyang. β
Lao Qin threw a letter in front of Lu Bu.
"How can this be true? Could it be that King Xia thinks that I, Lu Fengxian, am just a martial artist, and I will be so easily toyed with by him?! β
Lu Bu read the contents of the letter and was furious.
Lao Qin thought in his heart, isn't it......
"In less than a year or two, the child will definitely take the head of King Xia and dedicate it to his father-in-law!"
"Go down and straighten out the troops."
"Yes!"
Lu Bu left angrily, thinking that his IQ had been insulted by Chu Tian.
After Lu Bu left, Jia Xu came out from behind the screen.
Lao Qin said: "Lu Bu is like a jackal, if you want to control him, you have to work hard. β
Jia Xu said: "Only in this way can we prevent Lu Bu from being separated from King Xia. King Xia couldn't give Lu Bu more benefits, and the lord didn't have any contradictions with Lu Bu, so the so-called invulnerable. β
Lao Qin nodded.
Lu Bu was toyed with in front of him, Jia Xu, Li Si and others, and he didn't betray him for a few years.
Because of Dong Zhuo's lesson, Lao Qin had enough experience to control Lu Bu.
However, the king is already the limit, and when the Northern War is over, it will be difficult to control Lu Bu......
"If Chu Zimou is defeated, then there will be no need for Lu Bu to exist."
Lao Qin was already ready to cross the river and demolish the bridge.
