Chapter 98 The soldiers entered Xuchang without blood

Soon after Zhao Xing met Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the nameless pavilion thirty miles outside the city of Xuchang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and many courtiers accompanied the Son of Heaven's chariot out of the west gate of Xuchang and headed for Luoyang.

The 80,000 troops who stayed in Xuchang had already received orders, and after the Son of Heaven left, they collectively put down their weapons and went out of the city, waiting for the placement of the various armies of the Jin Kingdom. The horrified volley of artillery by the defenders of Xuchang did not happen, nor did the frenzied massacre that the people of the city feared. What is amazing is that since the siege of Xuchang by the Jin army, not a single soldier or common man in the city has died under the attack of the Jin army.

As in the past, the imperial soldiers who surrendered out of the city were still warmly managed and separated. Most of those who were willing to continue to serve as soldiers and eat the imperial food were sent to the four major training regiments of Youzhou, Jin, Liangguo, and the Western Regions to receive regular training after a preliminary assessment;

These soldiers are all strong laborers, and they can play a huge role in whether they continue to stay in the army to fight for Zhao Xing, or return to their hometown to engage in labor and production. The current Han Empire, with a population of less than 60 million, is still far from enough for Zhao Xing. According to Zhao Xing's estimates, in order to control the territory outside the territory that has not yet been ruled by an effective state, the Han Dynasty must have a population of at least 200 million. Without thirty or fifty years of vigorous development, this number is very difficult to achieve.

The status of Xuchang City is still much lower than that of Chang'an and Luoyang. Although Zhao Xing intended to make Xuchang the seat of Yuzhou in the future, he still had too many things to return to Luoyang to deal with, so after meeting Cao and Liu, he did not enter Xuchang with the army.

Zhao Xing has appointed Jia Xu, the first president of the Legislative Yuan of the Han Dynasty, to concurrently serve as the pastor of Yuzhou, and specially sit in Xuchang to be responsible for the aftermath of the city, especially the proper disposal of the old and young of the big families in the city. Jia Xu had already dealt with the Yuan family when he was in Nanyang, and now he is dealing with these wealthy families in Xuchang, which is a matter of familiarity.

The dragoons were responsible for staying in Xuchang, and these 30,000 men marched into Xuchang, which was enough to deal with any contingencies, and the rest of the armies had already rested before the Xuchang problem was resolved, and now they had received new orders and had begun to rush towards their predetermined assembly places.

The 40,000 Crouching Tiger Army has now moved to Luoyang and will become the trump card unit defending the economic and financial center of the Han Dynasty in the future, and the army commander Li Jinwu will be transferred from his original post and replaced by Li Tiezhu; the defense area vacated by the Crouching Tiger Army will be taken over by the 30,000 Xiong Zhen Army, and the military headquarters will also be moved to Crouching Tiger City, and will be mainly responsible for defending the scientific, technological, and cultural center of the Han Dynasty in the future, with Guan Ping as the commander and Pang De, the former army commander, having been appointed by another person; the 60,000 vanguard army will return to Chang'an, and in the future it will be specially responsible for guarding the political center of the Han Dynasty and will no longer be fighting everywhere, and the army commander will be Li Jinwu.

The Liaodong Army and the Yu'an Army, which were transferred from the Northeast to the Central Plains for support operations, returned to their respective garrisons to further eliminate the remnants of the alien tribes in the Northeast and prepare to reinforce the Guannai at any time. Zhao Zhenbang was dismissed from his post as commander of the Liaodong Army and appointed as mayor of Luoyang City.

The Montenegrin Army returned to Jizhou to garrison the city of Gutao, and in the future Jizhou only retained this army; 50,000 Donglai Army and Yanzhou indigenous soldiers returned to Linzi, Qingzhou, of which 30,000 were assigned to Tai Shici to prepare for the Unu Island; 15,000 men were allocated from the Marine Corps of the Navy Division to be under the command of Huang Zhong, plus the 15,000 men under Huang Zhong's original command, the number of the Qinghuai Army was restored, and Huang Zhong assumed the post of army commander and stationed in Xiapi, Xuzhou.

30,000 people were transferred from Liu Qi's army in Jingzhou to the water division under Tai Shici, preparing to go to Unu Island, Liu Qi's remaining troops were stationed in Yangzhou Shouchun, and the Jiangdong Army returned to Wuzhou to make another appointment. The Tianyi army went to Yuanqucheng in the Western Regions, Gan Ning led the Yizhou army back to Chengdu from Jiangling, and Xu Rong led the Kunlun army to Xiangyang to garrison.

The rest of the Flying Tiger Army, the Blue Wolf Army, the Xiliang Army, and the Pingxi Army that participated in the Central Plains War all went to the Western Regions to prepare for the westward expedition of the army in the coming year. Jiaozhou in the south of the Han Dynasty did not send a large army for the time being, and was temporarily managed by the Jiaozhi Shixie and Shiyi brothers, and after Tai Shici led the naval army to pacify the Unu Island, Zhao Xing moved the center of gravity of the maritime strategy to the southeast.

Judging from this dazzling deployment of troops, Zhao Xing obviously divided the next military operation into two aspects: east and west. From the east, 100,000 troops were sent under the command of Taishi Ci, and they arrived at Twin Islands at the southern tip of Yanzhou in batches on large transport ships of the Jin State Naval Division (Zhao Xing changed the name of Tsushima Island), where they completed assembly and rest, and then began to carry out a thorough "cleansing" of the four Uno islands and the surrounding affiliated islands until it was determined that there were no humanoid monkeys on the islands.

For some reason, Zhao Xing, who has always been mild-mannered, did not have half the patience for domesticating the group of humanoid monkeys on the island of Unu. His order to Tai Shi Ci was that no matter what means were taken, after ten years, he didn't want to see any more fully evolved humanoid monkeys jumping on the island, and as for whether Tai Shi Ci wanted to throw these monkeys into the sea to feed the sharks, or send them to the mines to dig for stones, it was not something that the new emperor could worry about.

The real highlight is naturally the land of the Western Regions where hundreds of thousands of troops gather. Not to mention that Zhao Xing transferred the Flying Tiger Army, the Blue Wolf Army and the Xiliang Army, the three cavalry that dominated the world, to the Western Regions, just the 100,000 Yizhou Construction Corps trained by Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng and Yan Yan and others in the early stage, as well as the Xiongwu Army that later went to the Western Regions together and the 50,000 Cao Ren Army who surrendered outside Dunqiu City, this is 150,000 people, in addition to the Pingxi Army, Tianyi Army, Huxi Army and so on.

Assembling such a large army, Zhao Xing's plan was naturally to the Central and West Asian regions west of the Green Mountains.

The current Zhao Xing is really a fierce general, a big military division, and among the high-level generals, Lu Bu and Guan Yu are older, but they are not more than fifty years old, and they can fight for at least ten years. And Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, the two commanders with both wisdom and bravery, are at the peak age of thirty-five or six years old, and they can still fight for Zhao Xing for more than 20 years.

Zhao Xing had already figured out how to gather 500,000 troops, and then appointed Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao as the marshals of the northern, central and southern armies, equipping them with enough firearms and mixed infantry and cavalry elites, and letting the three sworn brothers attack in three directions from the Western Regions as a starting point.

Among them, Guan Yu led 150,000 men to open up to the Central Asian region in the northwest, and asked Xu Shu and Lu Xun to serve as his left and right military advisors, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the pioneers; Zhao Yun led 200,000 people all the way to West Asia, and let Guo Jia and Fa Zheng serve as his left and right military advisors, and Lu Bu as deputy marshals, and Ma Chao and Zhang Ren as the pioneers; Zhang Liao led 150,000 people to South Asia, with Pang Tong and Fu Zhi as the left and right military advisors, Zhang as deputy marshals, and Ye Xiong and Pang De as the pioneers.

As for the rest of the first- and second-rate generals and strategists, there are too many to count.

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and thought that Lao Tzu sent such a luxurious super lineup, and he didn't believe that he couldn't clean up those foreign fanstates who didn't know what gunpowder was. After Guan Laoda and Zhang Liao succeeded in Northwest Asia and Central and South Asia respectively, the three-way army would join forces in the Mediterranean, but to see if the Roman legion was powerful or our Han legion was awesome.
