Li Chengqing, the regent and the general of the Great Sima Hussars, offered wine to the military advisor and fully assisted Shen An.

Xie Juan didn't plan to drive the expedition in person, so as not to let Shen An get in the way and hinder him everywhere.

Ten days later, Xie Xuan, Shen An, and Li Chengqing shed blood and marched for 400,000 soldiers.

The north wind blew the war drums, and 400,000 soldiers set out in unison, turning into a steel dragon, heading to the north. At the same time, the Great Liao went out to attack the Great Jin Dynasty.

In this way, the Great Jin suffered from the enemy on his back, and the Empress Dowager panicked, and hurriedly appointed Shen Changxing as a general in order to reject the soldiers and horses of Liang and Liao.

However, after the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty learned that Shen An of Liang State was a general, most of them defected overnight and went to Shen An in southern Xinjiang, which made Shen Changxing frightened, so he had to immediately order that the defectors should be killed and razed by the three clans, and they could barely stop the momentum.

However, at this time, 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty had defected to the Great Liang, and more than 200,000 soldiers were separated

Many.

And the soldiers were fast, Shen An seized the opportunity, immediately waved his army north, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and fought three big victories in just five days, beheaded more than 100,000 people, captured 50 cities, and directly took the land of three counties and half of the territory of the state.

When the news of the great victory was transmitted back to the palace, Xie Juan was overjoyed, and then ......

So he set up an altar in the palace.

The princes and ministers didn't know what was going on, but no one dared to ask, so they watched Xie Xuan's approach.

After seven days, Shen An went down forty cities in a row, beheaded 150,000, and the "Yanzhou" natural danger belonging to the Great Jin Dynasty completely fell into the hands of the Great Liang, and since then the Great Jin Dynasty has no natural danger to defend.

So far, the loss of soldiers and horses in the girder is only more than 30,000. There were even many Dajin soldiers who surrendered along the way, so that the soldiers and horses of Daliang broke through to 550,000.

Originally, Shen An was also worried that the 550,000 soldiers would bring great pressure on their grain and grass, and it was also a huge problem in terms of coordination......

But they didn't expect that every time they conquered a city, hundreds of people would eat pot pulp to welcome the emperor, but their supplies were much more sufficient.

It can be seen from this that the Empress Dowager and Shen Changxing and her gang have lost the support of the people.

On this day, Shen An's garrison rested to consolidate the supply line, and at the same time touched a piece of beef, and said while snorting: "Now it seems that Dajin is really ...... The gas is exhausted. ”

"yes." Li Chengqing on the side also sighed with some emotion, and said: "Originally, when the king of the mountain was in the Great Jin, the Great Jin army was strong and strong, and the strength was extraordinary, and he was the head of the Three Kingdoms......

But now, in just one year, they have fallen to this point, and it is conceivable how rotten the Empress Dowager and King Ping of the Great Jin Dynasty are. ”

"Huh." Shen An shook his head and sneered: "Those guys, intrigue is an expert, but when it comes to marching and fighting and governing the country, it's not good. National strength is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, after all, the whole country has tens of thousands of mouths to support......

They are weak, we are strong, and when the strong and weak are translocated, they naturally appear vulnerable. ”

"Plus they have lost the hearts of the people, and you have the hearts of the people." Li Chengqing said with a smile: "If this momentum continues, within half a month, we will be able to stab the Great Jin Imperial Capital like a sharp sword!" ”

"Nope." Shen An shook his head and said: "We have now gone thousands of miles deep, and the top priority is to consolidate the results of the battle, improve the supply line, and widen the passage into the Jin Dynasty, and move forward steadily." ”

Li Chengqing raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and then bowed his head and said: "You are an expert in marching and fighting, listen to you." ”

Shen An chuckled and said, "The regent has won the prize." Now that the Liang is full of national strength, although there is a juan'er to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth in the Liang, but it is also thanks to the regent's crackdown on those squires who are rampant in the township, and the Liang is governed in an orderly manner, otherwise it will be difficult for us to afford this battle. ”

"Okay, okay," Li Chengqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not blow each other here, let's think about it and decide what to do next." ”

"My suggestion has just been made." Shen An said: "Stop advancing, and order the left and right flanks to advance on both sides, take down 'Yunzhou' and 'Hezhou', and advance the border line between my Daliang and Dajin for thousands of miles." ”

"Steady and steady?" Li Chengqing was thoughtful.

"Yes." Shen An said: "This is a battle to destroy the country, not a surprise attack. The Great Jin Dynasty has a vast territory, thousands of miles away from the southeast, south, and northwest, and it is completely possible to adopt the strategy of exchanging space for time, and it is not very effective to use lightning surprise attacks in the battle to destroy the country. ”

"Therefore, we still have to be steady, and we have to consolidate one step after taking one step." Li Chengqing said, and at the same time handed Shen An a piece of beef.

"Thank you." Shen An said with a smile, and then said: "The cities that have been defeated have to be firmly governed by the regent, so that these places can be completely turned into ours."

Territory.

Although the land of these three states is on the border, it is actually rich and rich, and there are a few natural pastures that are enough to graze horses and strengthen our Daliang cavalry.

Therefore, if the governance is good, we can completely turn these three states into a springboard, and train troops and provide supplies from these three states, instead of transferring food from the heart of our main beam, which can reduce the consumption of many national strengths. ”

"That's right." Li Chengqing thought so deeply and said: "It is really too laborious to adjust grain over long distances. If you want to attack the grain and grass of the 400,000 army, you have to mobilize 1.2 million people to transport grain, which is equivalent to feeding 1.6 million mouths, and the grain eaten every day can be piled up into a mountain.

And not only food, but also firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, all of which are indispensable, otherwise it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In this way, a hundred stones of grain were transported from the heart of the Great Liang, and when they arrived, only ten stones remained. ”

"And if you can use these three states as a shift to transport grain, at most half of the loss will be lost, and the grain and grass of the 400,000 army will be solved, and 200,000 people can solve it." Shen An took over and said with a smile:

"After all, except for the hundreds of miles of land where the land of Sanzhou and my Daliang meet, it is difficult to walk with twists and turns, and the rest of the road is a flat river, whether it is agriculture or animal husbandry, it can be well developed, and it is much easier to transport grain."

"That's right." Li Chengqing bowed his head again and again, under Shen An's description, the blueprint for the future is very beautiful.

The reason why the Great Jin Dynasty was able to become the most powerful country before was because they occupied this wonderful soil, not to mention the extremely high grain production, the number and quality of war horses were also extremely strong, and the beef and mutton were also very abundant, and the soldiers were all mighty and majestic, and they could defeat three enemies on the battlefield.

Especially the cavalry, the cavalry of the Great Jin Dynasty is unique in the world, and even their infantry can be equipped with a horse as a foot force to hurry, and they can immediately carry several days of grain and grass, which is very strong with staying power.

Not only that, but the edge of the plain is a high mountain cliff and a turbulent cliff, thinking that the natural danger shelters the wonderful land of the Great Jin, so that the Great Liang in the south and the Great Liao in the west cannot be attacked.

And if today's danger has been taken down by the beam, this fertile land will become the baghouse of the beam.

But......

Immediately after, Li Chengqing's brows furrowed, and he said: "But if you want to govern this place well, it is not a day's work, and all kinds of affairs are trivial, I'm afraid...... 1

Shen An chuckled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you don't need comprehensive governance, as long as you don't cause chaos." Besides, the cold winter is coming soon, and the winter of Dajin is very cold, which is not suitable for in-depth combat, so we may have to stay in these three states for a few months, and then fight after spring comes. ”

"Four hundred thousand troops staying here for a few months?" The pimple in Li Chengqing's eyebrows deepened a little deeper, and said, "How can this be made?" Winter wheat can be grown in winter, which is also an important food source for my girder......

Simply without these 400,000 young and middle-aged laborers to cultivate, it is enough, and even a million people will have to send them grain, which will cause a great burden on the national strength of the Great Liang. If there is a huge result, those national strength losses can be quickly replaced, but if it is ......"

"I know, so there's no need to send food.

"No way!" Li Chengqing said categorically: "If the army's grain and grass are cut off, the army's morale will be chaotic!" At this moment, we have only gone down to the land of Yanzhou, and we have not yet started governance, so I am afraid that this place will not be able to supply the army with food and grass consumption......"

"Then be self-sufficient." The corners of Shen An's mouth raised, and he asked, "Does the regent know about 'Juntuntian'?" ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqing was stunned.

"400,000 troops, 200,000 tuntian fields to cultivate winter wheat, 100,000 cattle and sheep to take meat and milk to raise war horses by the way, and the remaining 100,000 are reduced to zero, attacking the rest of the cities of the Great Jin Dynasty so that they cannot live in peace."

Li Chengqing opened his mouth.

"The grain of Yanzhou Taicang has fallen into our hands." Shen An also said: "When I was the regent of the Great Jin Dynasty, I paid great attention to the grain and grass reserves in the border areas, because if there was a war, it would be difficult for Gyeonggi to help, so it was best to be self-sufficient for long-term support, reduce losses at the same time, and it would not be in the way if the grain and grass were cut off by the siege." ”

"So?" Li Chengqing also relaxed and asked with a smile.

"There are as many as 30 million stones of grain in Taicang, and the daily consumption of grain and grass by the 400,000 army is only 30,000 stones, and the grain in Taicang is enough for us to use for three years." Shen An said with a smile: "As for diesel, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., there are also a lot of reserves, but the oil and sauce vinegar need to be purchased and some of them made homemade." ”

After a pause, Shen An said again: "The rest of the fruits, vegetables and dried meat that can be stored are also hoarded a lot, all in all, it is extremely easy to survive a few months, and after a few months, the army tuntian is harvested, and our army can also be self-sufficient, and even feed back to the beam." Not only will the national strength of the Great Liang not be lost in the slightest, but it will become stronger and stronger the more it fights. ”

"I see." Li Chengqing suddenly realized, and said at the same time: "Daliang can get the king of the backer, is it really ...... Lucky for God! ”

Shen An smiled, then finished eating the beef in his hand, took a damp cloth to wipe his hands, then stood up and said, "Would the regent want to go out with this king to inspect and inspect?" ”

"Okay." Li Chengqing got up and followed behind Shen An.

Inspecting the barracks was something the two of them had to do every day.

But as soon as they came out of the handsome account, the two of them were stunned at the same time and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a fireball as big as a millstone whistled past and fell to the north.

"This is ......" Li Chengqing opened his mouth wide and said in amazement: "Extraterrestrial meteors? ”

The meteorite is extremely fast, and it disappears across the sky in a short time.

Shen An and Li Chengqing glanced at each other, and their faces were a little strange.

After a while, Li Chengqing muttered, "That direction...... It seems that the Great Jin is excessive? ”

"Hmm......" Shen An nodded lightly, thought about it, took out the seal of the backer king from his arms, and asked thoughtfully: "This meteorite is too coincidental_Is it you?" Juan'er! ”

The backer Wang Yin shone slightly, as if he was responding to Shen An.

The corners of Shen An's eyes twitched, he looked sideways to the north, and said speechlessly: "Wan'er's ability is inevitably too terrifying, right?" Such a huge meteorite fell _ The Empress Dowager and Shen Changxing are afraid that their mentality will collapse......"

Their mentality has really collapsed.

Originally, this year, the Great Jin Dynasty had a series of natural and man-made disasters, the south was slightly better, the north was drought and locust plagues, and there was no harvest of grain, so it could only rely on the imperial court to barely survive.

Of course, this is also Xie Juan's ghost.

Although she can't directly affect the world of Dajin, it is beyond the scope of her current authority, but the indirect influence is still very easy.

The whole world is a big space, Xie Juan ensures that the wind and rain are smooth and the precipitation is abundant and moderate, so correspondingly, the precipitation in Dajin will be affected.
