Chapter 620: Attack Liao with all your might
The kingdom of Yan is finally dead.
From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongfang Yu used troops against the Yan State, and now it has been more than a year, paying the price of hundreds of thousands of people, and winning the final battle of the Qin-Yan War.
In this battle, Dongfang Yu summed up his experience, and the most critical thing in this war has to be the national strength of a country.
Although the Yan Kingdom had savings, it could use millions of soldiers, and finally dragged down the Yan Kingdom. It is not difficult to imagine that the population of Yan is only five million, and the soldiers account for one million, all of whom have joined the army, who still manages the farmland and develops the economy.
What Yan Guo did was nothing more than stubborn resistance, as long as he occupied several major economic cities in Yan State, he would definitely be defeated.
But the Qin State is different, the nineteen states under heaven, the population of 30 million, plus the population of Wu and Yue, the total population of the Qin State is more than 40 million people, and there is no shortage of soldiers, plus!
As for food, it is even less panicked, the world has opened up wasteland for farming, and some crops such as rice, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are enough for the people of the world to fill their stomachs, and there are enough taxes and grains, and sufficient government treasury.
The Qin army accepted the soldiers and generals of the Yan State, more than 300,000 troops, gathered in the school grounds, and the crowds were crowded.
The current Yan army, morale is low, all listless, they are extremely scared now, I heard that the generals of the Qin State are all slaughtered, and they are ruthless, especially the generals of the four towns of the Qin State, who have more than 100,000 lives in their hands.
"Strategist, the Yan State Crusade is finally over, this battle! How many soldiers and horses has my Qin State lost? Dongfang Yu looked up at the sky, since the beginning of the army, I don't know how many people have died?
That series of numbers made him numb, and he didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to count it.
"Back to Your Majesty, except for last year's war, this year's war has lost more than 256,000 soldiers." Xu Meng reported.
In the entire northern battlefield, nearly 260,000 soldiers were lost, 1,000 enemies were wounded, and 800 were self-inflicted!
Dongfang Yu's eyes were filled with a faint sadness.
Moment!
It was to come to the school platform, and Dongfang Yu stood in the center of the school platform.
The Yan army below was nervous, and it was time to announce their results.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Yan Kingdom, from now on, the Qin-Yan War is over, and the Yan Kingdom is dead, in the future! You are the people of Qin, now! You guys...... It's time to go home and be reunited. Dongfang Yu was full of strength, and roared and shouted at the Yan Jun under the stage.
This voice reverberated in the heavens and the earth, reverberating leisurely.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were all excited.
Not everyone is willing to fight, although they fight for the Yan Kingdom, but this war with no victory in sight will only make them more afraid and afraid.
At this moment, the 300,000 Yan army cheered incomparably, only the generals who were loyal to the Yan State were extremely sad at this moment, and their Yan State finally ended the campaign in this situation.
However, after the war has been fought for so long, it should be over, and there are not many men in Yan Country left.
The news of the defeat of the Yan State quickly spread to the mainland, and the Qin State was boiling in an instant, especially the people, beating gongs and drums, and shouting Long live Emperor Wu.
Court!
"Okay, my father and the emperor pacified the Yan Kingdom, and from now on, the northeast will be returned to Qin." The crown prince Dongfang Jun read the letter excitedly.
After the annexation of Yan Land, the Qin State gained hundreds of miles of land. The current territory of the Qin State is the largest territory in all dynasties, and it is also the most powerful country in all dynasties.
"Great, after the battle of Qin Yan, we should be relaxed in our country."
His Royal Highness's ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle with Liao Yan made the Manchu Dynasty more nervous than when Dongfang Yu fought the internal war in the Central Plains.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, next, do we arrange for Your Majesty to return to the court?" Jin Rui immediately asked.
"This matter is not in a hurry, the 930,000 troops under my father's command still need to be stationed in Youdu for two months, and then discuss the matter of the class." The prince said.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is preparing to level the Liao State in one fell swoop.
"However, the territory of the enemy country occupied by the army of the Qin State, Your Majesty asked us to come up with a plan quickly."
There is a saying since ancient times: "It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to govern the world!" ”
"Rest assured, the six departments are already starting to prepare, but! Our current battle with the Liao State is not over, therefore! The money and food in our hands also need to be finer, as for the construction of the city in the north, the old minister dared to admonish! ”
"I hope that the crown prince and Your Majesty, don't be too anxious, this city is a long thing, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the country and provoke the resentment of the people." Jin Rui continued.
In every dynasty, there are big constructions, but the result! Obviously, if it is more serious, the people in various places are rebellious, and now there are more things to be built in the Qin State, which is not good for the Qin State if it is in a hurry.
"Hmm!"
The crown prince nodded, "My father also said that it takes two generations to complete, so there is no need to be in such a hurry." This palace strongly agrees with this. ”
"Next, I'm going to tire you out."
"Your Majesty is wise, the prince is wise!" All the ministers bowed down one after another.
Above the northern steppes!
After the fall of the Yan State, the army of the Qin State quickly swept towards the land of the Yan State.
What the ancients said, fighting to feed war, is right, Yan is still very rich, especially the generations of Ming monarchs of Yan Kingdom, which also allows Yan Kingdom to have a lot of reserves.
As for Dongfang Yu, it was time to order Wei Qing to strike the final blow at the Liao State.
Moreover! sent the general Liu Wenqin, and the deputy generals Ma Chao, Hu Xiaoyue, Ma Dai, Luo Zong, Pei Yuanqing, and Jiang Hao to lead an elite army of 200,000 to attack the Liao people in the north.
Wei Qing's army was on the west side, Liu Wenqin's army was on the east side, and the two armies were flanked from east to west, and Liu Wenqin was also to purge the remnants of the Liao people in the east.
Late August, 25th.
A faint cool breeze blew on the face, surging with coolness.
Inside the camp!
At this time, Wei Qing and Bai Qi were not good.
On the contrary, the Liao State suddenly withdrew its troops, disrupting all his previous deployments.
"The Liao army has 350,000 troops on the front line, and now it has returned to Lincheng, of which 100,000 troops, led by Huerchun, guard the east, and the Liao general Longxijun is very likely to sit in Lingu." Wei Qing's brows tightened, the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, and the two of them were very happy.
But... The northern attack on the Liao army gave Wei Qing and Bai Qi increased the difficulty.
The Liao army was also cunning, taking advantage of the negotiation with the Qin State, quietly leading the army to retreat, even Dongfang Yu did not react.
"That's true, Long Xijun can't be underestimated, if he enters the Ringu, I'm afraid he will find that the arrangement of our army in the Ringu will be at that time! I'm afraid that it will fall short! Bai Qi was a little worried.
"Avoid long nights and dreams, act early, and eat Huer's 180,000 army first."
Meng Tian echoed: "Wei Da Sima, the last general seconded General Bai Qi's suggestion. ”
"I'll second the motion!"
Now is the best time to burn the valley, if this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.
