Chapter 9: The Battle for Unification
In recent years, Liu Biao's small life has been very comfortable.
Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he finally knew what it meant to be in power and do whatever he wanted, and hundreds of women were collected in the harem, and he was allowed to turn over the cards at night. Life has reached this point, and I really die without regrets.
But in recent months, Liu Biao's mood is not very beautiful, since the beginning of the year, there has been a lot of information from the Huang State, the Huang State's soldiers, horses, grain and grass have been frequently mobilized recently, and it seems that they are about to go to war with the outside world.
Among them, he cares most about the troops of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, because these two states are close to Jingzhou, once the troops and horses are mobilized, they don't know who they want to fight.
Not only Liu Biao was nervous, but the military generals under Liu Biao were also very nervous, but they couldn't surrender, because of well-known reasons, Liu Biao and the Shi clan group under him would never surrender to Huang Shang, otherwise their fate would be very miserable.
Since the appearance of Huang Shang, the mortal clan is an enemy of him, and almost all of his fate is to exterminate the family, and some of the better ones will also be pulled to the quarry and other places for labor reform, when the transformation is good, when will it be released, and the process will be very long, anyway, I have not heard of any scholar clan being released after labor reform.
Since Huang Shang made it clear that he wanted to be the enemy of the Shi clan, of course they would not surrender, and for the survival and inheritance of the family, they had to fight Huang Shang to the death.
But......
In the past five years, the Yellow Room has shown a little more combat.
Don't look at the Yellow Room for five years of recuperation, but these five years have not all been smooth, such as opening a border market and doing business in the north, there will always be some tribes who want to do business without capital, and then the fate of these tribes is very miserable, the men are killed, and the women are all captured and sold as slaves.
Although Huang Shang did not allow the sale of human beings within the territory, he tacitly assumed that the population of different races could buy and sell at will, but only women were allowed to be bought and sold, and half of the men of different races were not allowed to be seen.
Foreign wars in history are almost all wars of racial survival, whoever wins can do whatever he wants, and whoever loses is the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, which is very cruel, Huang Shang has experienced this, not to mention that his heart is like a stone, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of rule.
There is nothing wrong with building a civilized society, but if you are always surrounded by tigers and wolves, then you must first eliminate the tigers and wolves before you can develop civilization with peace of mind, because tigers and wolves will not reason with you, they will only eat people.
If civilization wants to develop, it must at least have the ability to protect itself from harm, there are too many civilizations in history that have been wiped out by barbarism, it is because although these civilizations are brilliant, they have lost the ability to protect themselves, Huang Shang has seen too many such things, and he will definitely not make similar mistakes.
The big yellow cavalry is invincible.
The great general Lu Bu, known as the world's first general, killed several Allied generals under the Tiger Prison Pass that year, and broke nearly 400,000 allied troops with 50,000 iron cavalry, and the world was shaken.
In recent years, the general has not been idle, first went to Bingzhou to train cavalry troops, by the way, used the alien race as a whetstone for military training, and fought again and again with the alien crying father and mother, resulting in almost no alien race on the border of Bingzhou, and a large area of grassland has become the territory of the Yellow Chamber, but unfortunately the population of Bingzhou is too small, and it cannot develop for the time being, so it can only temporarily engage in animal husbandry.
Lu Bu is a native of Jiuyuan, born to like to ride horses to fight, with these war horses, he trained cavalry to be particularly energetic, and even took his daughter Lu Lingqi with him, and taught her to ride a horse to fight, now thirteen-year-old Lu Lingqi has grown to a height of one meter six, riding and spear skills are exquisite, in the army even does not lose ordinary hundred generals, many generals call 'little general'.
The father is a general, and his daughter is a little general, and he has been guarding the territory of the Yellow Chamber in the north for several years, fighting the alien races in the northeast from time to time, and by the way, adding some blockage to Liu Yu in Youzhou, and grabbing something from time to time, so that Liu Yu can't develop, and it is only good for the future to dominate the world, and there is no harm.
In five years, Lu Bu won a hundred battles, whether it was a big battle or a small battle, he never lost at all, and the world gradually became known as the god of war, and the title of the world's first military general was also placed on his head.
Lu Bu is so powerful, it's not that no one wants to rebel against him, but it's a pity that Lu Bu doesn't eat that set at all, whoever dares to rebel against him will definitely die.
It wasn't that Lu Bu hadn't thought about being self-reliant, but considering the more than a thousand 'ordinary generals' whose force was not below him at all, and the power of the muskets and artillery that Huang Shang secretly showed him later, all his thoughts disappeared.
What is the stand? Isn't he fragrant when he is a general of rhubarb?
Because the cavalry of the Yellow Chamber is too strong, it often blocks the surrounding 'countries', and many of the surrounding 'countries' are very nervous and afraid, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou is also one of the surrounding 'countries', and is harassed by the Yellow Family's army almost every year.
They didn't kill anyone, they just went to Jingzhou for a walk, and then fooled some local residents to live in Huangguo, but anyone who went to Huangguo could get houses and land, and it was definitely not a problem to be fed and clothed.
This method has been carried out for five years, and more than 100,000 people have been abducted directly from Jingzhou, which has disgusted Liu Biao. But in previous years, it was just a few cavalrymen who came to show off their might, but this year a large number of troops were mobilized, and a few days later new news came back.
Huang Shang held a swearing-in meeting in Luoyang, and the general Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou and Jizhou to go to Youzhou; The unknown general of Zhengnan led the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou to Jiangdong; The former general Zhang Liao led the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Yuzhou to Jingzhou; Cao Cao, the general of the expedition to the west, led the Yongzhou soldiers and horses to attack Xiliang, and he was accompanied by Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and other Ma family troops, making it clear that they were looking for revenge from Han Sui.
The Yellow State actually divided its troops into four ways and launched a war against four 'countries' at the same time, and when the news spread, the whole world was shocked.
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
"Four-way?" After learning the reactions of the 'emperors' from all sides through his mobile phone, Huang Shang sneered slightly: "I have sent a five-way army, where did the four-way army come from?" ”
That's right, Huang Shang also sent a fifth army, which was the trapping camp led by Gao Shun.
Because of Huang Shang's suggestion, in the past few years, Gao Shun has focused on practicing the soldiers' climbing ability, and each soldier carries a bundle of thick hemp rope on his back, which is specially used to go up and down the mountain, and this unit is all equipped with muskets, and each soldier carries two hundred rounds of ammunition, which can be said to be the only special force in Huang State.
Since it is a special forces, the number is definitely not much, only 5,000 people.
And Huang Shang sent a mission to Gao Shun this time, leading 5,000 traps to the camp to the Meridian Valley and attack Sichuan and Shu. At the same time, he was given the right to dispatch local garrisons in order to contribute to the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu.
Gao Shun didn't say anything about Huang Shang's trust, and directly left Luoyang secretly with the Five Thousand Trap camp, went to Chang'an, and then entered the Sichuan-Shu area from the Meridian Valley, preparing to show the whole world the combat methods of the special forces.
Huang Shang is in the Luoyang Palace, watching the excitement through his mobile phone.
The first was Lu Bu, who attacked Youzhou.
Lu Bu led 100,000 cavalry troops this time, which really came and went like the wind, and he didn't carry out siege warfare at all, just playing cavalry battles with you on the land of Youzhou.
After all, the main military force that Liu Yu has is the cavalry of the alien races in the grassland, since they are all cavalry, they will definitely not be able to defend the city, so they simply fight hard power.
Not to mention that Lu Bu's own force is invincible in the world, just to say that these 100,000 cavalry are personally trained by him with countless painstaking efforts in the past five years, under his leadership, the 100,000 cavalry troops are like wolves and tigers, and as soon as they make contact, the alien cavalry in Youzhou will be scattered, and there will be an uproar.
These aliens were not the regular army of Youzhou in the first place, and it was only because of the truth that they were willing to help Liu Yu resist Lu Bu, but after a charge, they knew that they couldn't win at all.
The cavalry led by Lu Bu was too powerful, and Lu Bu's whole body was full of red fighting energy, like a flame on the battlefield, killing all the alien races in front of him, and there was no way to survive wherever he passed.
The grassland peoples worship the strong, and the strength shown by Lu Bu completely conquered these grassland alien races, and after a charge, these alien races died and surrendered, and they were easily defeated by Lu Bu.
Putting aside the battle that followed, at this time on the Jingzhou battlefield, the cavalry and infantry combined forces led by Zhang Liao, totaling 150,000 people, all drove to Xinye.
Seeing that so many people had come from the opposite side, the general of the new field was nervously preparing for the battle of the city while sending a battle report to Xiangyang.
But just when the new field guard was closing the city gate and preparing to defend the city, Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx pushed out more than 20 cannons, and then stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the city wall, fixed the gun carriage, and adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and Zhang Liao shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”
The roar sounded, and more than 20 shells blasted towards the city walls and gates of Xinye, and under a round of artillery fire, the gates and city walls of Xinye were bombarded into ruins, and all the defenders standing on the head of the city were almost wiped out.
After that, Zhang Liao led the army to easily occupy Xinye, and after three days of preparation, it continued to march towards Xiangyang.
Zhang Liao is very stable in his use of troops, and when he knows that he has an absolute advantage on his side, he doesn't play all kinds of tricks at all, that is, the army is pulled out, and he crushes you in a dignified manner.
In the face of this royal way of warfare, unless it is subdued with absolute strength, there will only be defeat.
Huang Shang was very satisfied with Zhang Liaode's combat methods, which was the material of a real general.
After that, he turned his attention to the battlefield of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou led by Dou Bing to attack Jiangdong.
At this time, the Jiangdong naval army led by Sun Jian had already been on the river, waiting for a decisive battle with Huang Shang's army on the river.
This time, the bean soldiers marched in two ways, one from Jiangdu and the other from Lujiang. The two armies brought by the Dou soldiers were almost all waterway amphibious combat units, and at this time, they had already launched a series of exploratory attacks and defenses with Jiangdong County.
