With the last group of Goguryeo soldiers under the command of Yuan Zhu Wei fleeing to Pyongyang, Yuan Dazuo also had an army of as many as 360,000 people, compared with the total strength of less than 200,000 Xia troops south of Aplushui, and the advantage of nearly twice the strength made him a little more confident.

It's just that Yuan Dazuo seemed to be happy a little early, and soon a bad factor involved a lot of his energy, and the Goguryeo people in the land south of Pyongyang who were about to be occupied by the Xia army also fled one after another, and the direction they fled was of course Pyongyang, where a large number of Goguryeo troops were stationed.

In the eyes of these Goguryeo people, there are hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Pyongyang, and with the protection of these hundreds of thousands of troops, this must be the safest place at present, but in fact, these people really have nowhere else to escape, and in just one month, five or six hundred thousand people gathered here.

When these Goguryeo people escaped, of course, they couldn't take too much food with them because they fled in a panic, and Yuan Dazuo also had to be responsible for the food problems of these people, if it was a weekday or spring and autumn, it was okay to say, at that time, the wild vegetables in the mountains and fields could also feed a part of the population.

But now it is winter, and it is impossible for these Goguryeo people to dig wild vegetables to make a living, and these must be provided by Yuan Dazuo, who makes him now the Mo Zhili of Goguryeo, just in this way, the number of soldiers and civilians inside and outside Pyongyang exceeds one million.

Throughout the ages, even providing food and clothing for millions of people in an emergency in modern society was a big problem, let alone Goguryeo at this time.

Faced with the problem of food and clothing for millions of people, Yuan Dazuo could not ignore it, so he had to requisition a large amount of food and clothing from the wealthy Han families around Pyongyang City, and then provide them to the Goguryeo people who poured in.

It is not to blame Yuan Dazuo for discriminating against the Han people, but the richest ethnic group in Goguryeo is the Han people who are good at farming, especially those Han landlords have a lot of food and property at home, and the top Han landlords are even richer than the Goguryeo lords.

Of course, these top Han landlords are also the most closely connected with the upper class of Goguryeo, and for this part of the top Han landlords, Yuan Dazuo will certainly not infringe on their interests, but for those Han landlords of the middle and lower classes, he is a little unscrupulous.

In just more than ten days, Yuan Dazuo collected millions of stone of grain from the homes of these middle and lower-class landlords, and other property that was snatched by the sheep was countless, during which thousands of people were killed because some landlords resisted, and I don't know how many tragedies there were.

Seeing his soldiers solve the biggest problem they faced so quickly, Yuan Dazuo was very satisfied, but he never imagined that he would pierce a big hole, that is, to completely offend the Han officers and soldiers in the Goguryeo army.

Of the 360,000 troops inside and outside Pyongyang, 150,000 were Han soldiers, and many of them were from small and medium-sized landlord families.

With this emotion, it will be taken advantage of.

As a result, a series of information was continuously sent to the Xia army in the hands of various troop deployments, weapon details, baggage arrangements, etc., inside and outside Pyongyang, but Yuan Dazuo knew almost nothing about the intelligence of the Xia army, and he only knew that the Xia army's combat effectiveness was very strong.

When the time came to December, Cao An and Meng Xian, who came with the cold wind in the north, led their troops to cross the Yalu River and swept all the way to the north bank of the Sasu, where they would guard the river, which was only 100 miles away from Pyongyang City, to prevent the Goguryeo army from escaping from here to Liaodong.

Behind Cao An and Meng Xian, there was a series of ruins, countless Goguryeo people were driven and killed, even if some fled to the mountains, but after the houses were burned, death still awaited them.

It's not that Cao An, a man, has become a murderer, but that he must sweep away all the forces behind him that may threaten his army, which has only more than 20,000 people, so he must deter all possible enemies with thunder.

At the same time, Wang Ze finally led the 60,000 troops under the command of the Zhonghu Army to completely defeat Yuan Dazuo's blocking force, completely crossed the mountainous area that stretched for hundreds of miles in the east, and entered the plains and gentle hilly areas outside Pyongyang, and 200 miles southwest of them were Zheng Kui and Han Zigao's headquarters.

Soon, the two Xia armies merged together in a hundred miles south of Pyongyang, and then the troops pointed directly at the Goguryeo camp arranged by Yuan Dazuo twenty miles south of the city.

At this time, the Xia army, which was facing the Goguryeo army, after excluding the 20,000 troops of Cao An and Meng Xian on the northern road, and more than 10,000 people of the naval armies of each road, the total strength was only 160,000, but the soldiers were all high-spirited, waiting for the start of the battle one by one.

The soldiers already knew that the 150,000-strong Xia army led by Hu Bingchang, Jiang Chuan, Xu Ning, Zhang Hang and Chu Honghang had already begun a general attack on Gao Wencan's army in Liaodong City in the north, and now Xia and Goguryeo were launching a decisive battle on the two battlefields in the north and south at the same time. doctor

In the eyes of these soldiers, so many gold medal generals on the northern battlefield did not attract His Majesty to participate, but Wang Ze personally came to the southern battlefield to command the battle, so the soldiers could not help but have some proud attitude in their hearts.

The soldiers all knew that Goguryeo would cease to exist after this victory, and it was estimated that there would be no more fighting for several years after the war, so the generals and soldiers of the two Xia armies had some careful thoughts about the competition, and they all wanted to achieve a big victory by overpowering each other.

This time on the southern battlefield, the total number of soldiers invested by both sides was nearly 600,000, while the northern Liaodong battlefield was nearly 500,000, and the armies of both sides on the two battlefields had exceeded one million soldiers, and this is still an actual data, not the kind of exaggeration that was blown out in the romance.

A battle of this magnitude would inevitably attract the attention of the surrounding countries, all of whom were shocked by the number of belligerents.

You must know that when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, the key battle between the two sides in Pingyang City was only 340,000 people in total, although the Central Plains and the two countries believed in the concept that the soldiers were not expensive, but now Goguryeo and Xia both sides have mobilized so many troops, which still shocked the country that learned the news.

Compared with those countries that are far away from the two countries, the Khitan is the most frightened one, and now the Khitan Eight Divisions are only about 100,000 people united, and they feel that they are very bullish when they can mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry.

After all, today's Tiele divisions generally only have 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry, so the Khitan seems to be quite strong in comparison, but I don't want the two overlords of the East China Sea to fight now, and the army of either side alone is several times the total population of their own.

For a while, the Khitan completely extinguished the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and consciously withdrew his troops to the upper reaches of the Liaoshui for a hundred and ten miles, and then took advantage of this opportunity to attack the remnants of Didou more strongly.

The war of civilized countries is not like that of nomads, and it is a war that is just a matter of talk, but the Goguryeo and Xia kingdoms, with the infantry army as the main fighting force, are like two tightly functioning machines once they want to fight.

At this time, it is not only a test of the combat effectiveness of the army, but also a test of a country's comprehensive organizational ability and logistical supply capacity.

When Wang Ze's army came to the plain outside Pyongyang, the two sides only confronted each other at first, and did not immediately break out a large-scale war.

The Goguryeo scouts were not heroic, but they were too amateurish in front of the jungle special operations forces, which were mainly the Wolf Tooth Force and the Viper Force, and they were soon defeated in a series of contacts.

While Yuan Dazuo hurriedly made various preparations for the decisive battle, Wang Ze also issued a series of orders in the camp and passed them to every general of the Xia army, who not only had to prepare for battle, but also cooperated with the National Guard who came behind him to clean up the Goguryeo people within a hundred miles around the camp.

Although these Goguryeo people are now very well-behaved in front of the Xia army, after the official battle, these Goguryeo people will inevitably continue to attack the logistics and baggage lines of the troops, and even attack small groups of soldiers, it is better to be prepared from the beginning, anyway, Wang Ze does not need Goguryeo to be grateful to Dade.

So this task was handed over to the more than 100,000 armed colonization team behind Xia Jun, as an organization that appeared in Xia Guo since he opened up the Changzhou Islands, they are mainly retired veterans and middle-aged young and strong teams with very rich sweeping experience.

Since crossing the Han River, they have been cleaning up the Goguryeo villages along the way, although most of these villages are protected by walls, but they soon fell one by one in the face of the attack of the Xia armed colonization team.

At this time, the advantages of the many good ports along the western coast of Goguryeo were reflected, and the captured Goguryeo people were immediately divided into different groups, and then sent to ships to be transported to the rear, and it is needless to say what awaited them.

In addition to some Goguryeo villages along the way, there were also a large number of Han villages, and at this time, it was necessary for the Xia soldiers to come forward to identify which Han people could be wooed, and which were Han Haoqiang who had a close relationship with Goguryeo and could not be wooed.

Of course, the Xia army will not persecute these Han people, but they must also leave their homeland, even if you are a Han person close to the Xia Kingdom.

Because only in this way can the Xia Kingdom completely break the entire social system of Goguryeo, and only in this way can the Han people of Goguryeo be better integrated into the social system of the Xia Kingdom.
