Chapter 381: Fighting for Hegemony: Qi Yan Finally Makes a Move (1)
In the past few months, the entire Central Plains, all forces, have fallen into calm and peace. You must know that it is not suitable for fighting in winter, and the cold environment is the biggest problem in winter operations, especially in the places of Hebei, secluded, and north, which are frozen for thousands of miles and covered with heavy snow. It is not only a strong test of the quality of soldiers, but also a huge challenge to logistics supply.
Jingzhou in the middle, with Yunzhou, the imperial court allied with King Chen, and secretly reached an agreement.
It can be regarded as the conditions that Bing Zheng and Dongfang Chang negotiated in private! Even if it was towards the ministers of the emperors, they were also aware of Bing Zheng's intention to enter the palace to face the saint.
The general trend of the world is in the body, and if King Qin takes Nanzhou, he will definitely expand to the east, but it is an unchanging fact. And Jingzhou and the imperial court are bound to secretly form an alliance due to the general trend to discuss the policy against Qin.
So! But it has reduced a lot of pressure on the East.
The king of Chu, holding Jiangdong, has prepared to send his army into the territory of Jingzhou. Its general, Zhou Zhaojian, got the order of Dongfang Yin, and wanted to take the four county cities south of the Huaichuan River in Jingzhou under the battle between Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Jie.
If so! Jiangdong can take half of the territory south of Jingzhou. At that time! Jiangdong can Huaichuan, monopolize the antenna, and base the enemy outside.
And Jiaozhou, this barren and inconspicuous territory. Jiangdong didn't plan to take it in his pocket now. After all! If Jiaozhou is taken, this barren land will be a burden at best. Not only did they have to send troops to garrison, but they also had to send in a large amount of grain, which was extremely unfavorable in Jiangdong.
Therefore! Felling first, then sweeping.
Months had passed, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the kings began to stir again. In particular, Dongfang Yu had a smooth ride in the west, and after capturing the three states of Dingzhou, Zhengzhou, and Nanzhou, it inexplicably brought a huge pressure to the eastern countries.
Especially Dongfang Tian, the king of Qi, and Dongfang Yu in the land of Jizhou, the crusade against the yellow robe returned victoriously, when they separated, the two had an agreement, whoever wins, who will bow down. can never be betrayed, and the two of them are also caught up in each other's talents, and they can't bear to strangle each other.
Le'an County, Qingzhou, Qi Wang Dongfangtian, military advisor Xu Yeling, Zimu, generals: Shangguan Wenhao, Ji Jian, Bai Xuan, Luo Tong, Luo Youshan, Zhao Kai and other generals, led an army of 150,000 and stationed here.
The total strength of Qi is as much as 300,000, and many people have died in battles. But as far as Dongfang Tian is concerned, the combat effectiveness of these 300,000 troops is not weak at all.
Only led an army of 150,000 to attack Yan Wan, and the rest of the men and horses, defending the coastal invasion of the Japanese Kou, as well as the king of Chen and the imperial army in the west, and more importantly, the king of Chu in Jiangdong.
The strength of the King of Chu is not only tens of thousands higher than him, but the most important thing is that the King of Chu has generals under his command, Xiao Huangqi, Xiao Shan, Zhou Zhaojian, Luo Qian, Fang Shouke, etc., all of whom are famous generals in the world. In particular, Xiao Huangqi, the governor of Jiangdong, is Xiao Dingguo, the general of Jiangdong in Dawu.
This old guy's prestige is no less than that of the general Liu Wenlong! That's it, a dynasty can have such two gods of war. Liu Wenlong and Xiao Dingguo, it's a pity! The court itself did not give its strength, and it was cut off in vain.
The junction of Le'an County and Youzhou, its! The royal capital of King Yan was established in Beiping County, Youzhou, so! If you want to defeat the Yan army, attacking Youzhou is the fastest and most fatal strategy for the enemy. If you can defeat King Yan in Youzhou and break through the royal capital, then! The rest of Jizhou and the land of Merge State are also at your fingertips.
Of course! King Yan is not so easy to fight, Dongfang Ping occupies the two rich lands of Jizhou and Youzhou, the population of the people is more than 7 million, there is no shortage of food, and the source of soldiers is even more sufficient.
In fact! People really have this capital, and there are 600,000 soldiers under Dongfangtian's command now, and Hebei's famous generals Ju Lishi, Luo Qingsheng, Tian Kai, Wen Palm, Zhang Heng, etc., are all under their command, and there is also a group of powerful strategists, Xu Pei, Zhou Bo, Ziluo, and Xin Ping have a powerful strategist group.
Why is that? The main reason why King Yan was able to take over the three states of Hebei in such a short period of time. It is also because of this that the frightened Northern Yan Empire no longer dares to fight the idea of three states.
No way! Gongsun Yan found a very strange problem. Today's Dawu, although it is divided, and the princes are dictatorial and autocratic, dividing the entire Dawu, but this is exactly the case! Today's Dawu is the most terrifying.
The King of Yan, the King of Qi, the King of Chu, the King of Chen, the King of Qin, plus the imperial court, none of them did have an army of hundreds of thousands, that is, they had twice as many troops as the Great Wu that had not yet been divided.
With two million troops, who can withstand this, in case of foreign invasion, there will be an alliance of kings, and there will be no scum left.
...... in Le'an County
"Two gentlemen, our army scouts have come to report and have obtained the most accurate information on the enemy's strength in Hebei, as well as the state of the army."
"Lone didn't expect that King Yan's troops in Hebei were as many as 600,000, and the food was even more sufficient, and in terms of my mountain movement, I was harassed by the Japanese invaders all year round, and the loss of materials was huge, I'm afraid! In a year or two, you can still fight against King Yan, if it is a long time, our army is very likely to retreat without a fight. "Dongfang Tian's biggest worry is the problem of grain and grass.
The competition in the world has reached the most fierce time, which is nothing more than fighting for talents and grabbing territory, and if he can win the three states of Hebei, his strength will swell, and the grain will also be substantially solved.
Zimu and Xu Yeling took the intelligence book sent from the front line, and their faces were still bland, "Why should the king worry, although there are many troops in Hebei, but the real elite soldiers are only 200,000, and their combat effectiveness is not enough to fight against the soldiers of our Qi country." ”
Purple Wood said.
Dongfang Tian shook his head, and still said: "Have you ever heard such a thing, if there are too many ants, they will bite people to death?" What's more? Under the command of King Yan, there are many generals who can fight well, and there are even more strategists who give advice, and it is not easy to win against King Yan? ”
Xu Yeling said: "Has the king forgotten King Qin...... The King of Qin can defeat a million Liao soldiers, not to mention the king, can't he defeat the King of Yan. ”
"Xu Aiqing, there are millions of Liao soldiers, and they are all elites, but there is a very big difference between the Liao soldiers and my soldiers in the Central Plains, the Liao soldiers are brave, and most of them are unstrategic! And I, the people of the Central Plains, are good at strategy, stratagem attack, and are known for their cunning. The crusade against the Yan King is much more difficult than the crusade against the Liao soldiers. "Eastern Heavenly Dao.
Speaking of which, Dongfang Tian really admires Dongfang Yu incomparably, once! is even more ashamed of himself, for so many years, he has not dared to relax in the slightest.
"King Yan's power is indeed strong, but this may not be! It is invincible. ”
Then! Zimu's eyes were filled with a cold light.
