Chapter 838
Another year of autumn, another year of harvest in Liaodong.

The Little Ice Age definitely had an impact, but it is still in the early germination stage. The Northeast is undeveloped and the soil is full, so it is ripe at four years old.Even if there is an impact in the future, causing land production to decrease, Liaodong can still be self-sufficient.There is land under the mountains, animals in the mountains, fish in Hanoi, horses, cattle and sheep in the grasslands, chickens, ducks, geese, and hogs in the family, and mutual coordination and supplementation in general, life is still very comfortable.

After the army and people in Liaodong worked together to harvest the autumn harvest, General Wang began to dispatch troops and point his sword at the Central Plains.

The Yingwu Guards originally stationed in Pingguo moved to Fang County to guard the hinterland of Liaodong, Baotu River, Changli and other places.Xingwuwei went north to Changchun to suppress Goguryeo and Fuyu.Xiongwuwei was stationed in Qingping (Chifeng Keshiketeng Banner), and Zhenwuwei was stationed in the grassland.

As for Xuanwuwei, who had already gone south to Linyu, it was led by Huang Zhong. The reason was that the distance was close so that it was convenient for the old boy to come back to see his son.

Originally stationed in Changchun, the mighty guards led by Zhou Cang crossed Qingping, entered the grassland, and attacked Guangning (Zhangjiakou) for [-] miles.The Guangwu Guards originally stationed in Fuxin also entered the grassland, led by Tai Shici. They first defeated Guangning with Zhou Cang, and then the two sides continued to join forces and occupied Juyong.

There is no doubt that Juyong is a good place, otherwise it would not be possible to build the Great Wall here.To the north is Death Valley, and to the south is the flat plain.But although there is a Great Wall now, it is far less majestic than it was in the Ming Dynasty.To put it simply, there is defense, but not much.To the north is the dependent Xianbei, to the south is the Han region, and now Liu Yu leads Youzhou. The relationship between the old boy and Xianbei is relatively harmonious.

Therefore, the important pass of Juyong is just some ordinary necessary defenses, and there are not many people.Moreover, as early as three months ago, Wang Yan sent the Xuanwu Guard south to Linyu, which had already made Liu Yu nervous. He directly mobilized an army of [-] to stand in front of the Xuanwu Guard. So at this time, Liu Yu's eyes were He didn't have time to pay attention to what was behind, and even if he did, he didn't have the energy to gather troops in a short period of time.

Even [-] soldiers and horses, and some of Gongsun.Although nominally Gongsun Zan is Liu Yu's subordinate, but Gongsun Zan is now the Marquis of Ji and has also worshiped General Fenwu. The soldiers and horses of Youzhou are actually controlled by Gongsun Zan.Liu Yu's government was loose, and he broadened the refugee population. He wanted to reduce the army, but was opposed by Gongsun Zan, and the two began to disagree.

Now that they are sending troops together to resist Xuanwuwei, they all know that General Wang is strong and ambitious, and Gongsun Zan still remembers the hatred of humiliating his subordinates back then, so he will not make it easy for Wang Yan.

For this kind of player, General Wang can definitely say that he is gone...

The Xianbei troops north of Juyong had all been adjusted by Liao Hua, and their strength was severely lacking. Even if they were reorganized into a combat organization, their combat effectiveness was not strong, and there was basically no resistance.

Even if Juyong encountered strong resistance and was unable to capture it in a short period of time, Wang Yan also changed his tactics.That is to ignore Youzhou and directly divide the troops to attack Pingcheng (Datong). In this way, you can not only merge the state, but also detour to Hebei, penetrate Youzhou from behind, and form an east-west pincer attack with Xuanwu Guard.

His current mobilization of troops is for the sake of Tuyou and the merger of the two states, not for the current occupation.Otherwise, he didn't need to use his brains. How did Huang Taiji break into the capital and besiege the capital in the Ming Dynasty? He moved that route over and used it. Although there have been some geological changes over the past thousand years, it is generally fine. Youzhou can be defeated in one battle.

However, although Liaodong is mature at the age of four, it is not enough to support the development of the entire Youzhou.Therefore, the current deployment is to curb the throat, drive the nails hard, and seize the initiative in the war.Controlling the important areas in this way, slowly gathering the people and organizing production, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan broke down without attacking and took Youzhou lightly.

There is no need for any advanced military skills. Relying on a strong foundation to slowly push forward, strategizing is all about people's livelihood...

As for the large mobilization of troops and internal emptiness, Liu Yu took the opportunity to send troops to cross the mountainous area and bypass the Liaoxi Corridor, or go straight to Liucheng and take the hinterland of Tuhe. This is possible, but it is not very likely, because Liu Yu does not have that kind of decision-making However, Gongsun Zan did not dare to use his troops rashly.

First of all, they were not so familiar with the deployment of troops in Liaodong.Although there are caravans coming and going, some information will be revealed, but caravans cannot go anywhere casually. They have fixed locations and routes.If they cross the line, they will be detained for labor without any reason.Secondly, the struggle in Luoyang is fierce now, and all ministries are waiting and watching.Gongsun Zan was indeed capable of fighting, but he was also ambitious.Wang Yan's previous performance was so brave that he must not dare to act rashly.

The most critical point is that even if Wang Yan made a mistake in judgment, they would send troops over the mountain to attack.General Wang is not dead, he is guarding the family.Moreover, it is not that there are no soldiers in hand. If necessary, Tuhe can organize [-] soldiers and horses in an instant.In a few days, we will be able to pull out [-] to [-] yuan, so you are not afraid...

Zhou Cang joined forces with Tai Shici's army, without the assistance of the militiamen, fearing that they would have to bring their own weapons and dry food to march in a hurry.Roaming ahead for thirty miles, all the people who wanted to report were killed.Liao Hua led the [-] Xiao cavalry battalion and moved southward simultaneously.The cavalry is highly mobile, and their task is to advance with the general and try to control the news as much as possible.

Although Luoyang is in a mess at this time, no one has the leisure to pay attention to the Liaodong rebels, but their goal is to control Guangning and Juyong as quickly as possible at the lowest cost.Stretch the important land of Juyong, grasp the throat of Youzhou, and use Guangning to open up the supply line between the grassland and Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away, and echo the troops stationed on the grassland.At the same time, retain the opportunity to attack and merge the state, deter the merged state, and prevent the army from going deep alone and cutting off supplies.

This is General Wang's strategic instruction for the development of the east and west lines.

There are few people on the grassland, but you can always see Xianbei herdsmen doing winter storage on the grassland after walking for a few miles.They didn't panic when they saw the long line and the smoke and dust piled up in the army formation. Even the children in the grassland rode their own horses, approached the army, and struggled to utter a few words, wanting to know where the army was going. .

They all know the flag of Liaodong, and even their relatives died in the hands of Liaodong soldiers, but they are not sad, because now they have also become a part of the protection of that flag.

They can herd horses and herd sheep within the enclosed area, and among the ten sheep, only one belongs to the general, and the rest are their own property.This is much better than the situation where they released ten of them before, and eight of them were all Mr. Chanyu. They only need to obey the orders of the Han officials stationed in the trade office in the center of one of their pavilions.

No one beat or scolded them, no one robbed their cattle and sheep, and even gave them weapons to protect their property.So what reason do they have to be afraid of Liaodong's army...

Walking so quickly, after half a month, the two guards and horses and the Xiaoqi Battalion finally joined forces, ignoring the panic of the Han people, Xianbei people, and Huns along the way, without even looking at them, they went straight to Guangning. .

Liao Hua originally wanted to lead people directly into the city, but when he came, the city gate was already closed, he must have detected the news in advance, so he led his people across Guangning, blocked the road leading to Juyong, and released the team , kill and spy on the soldiers, try to control the news so that it does not disperse, and does not make Juyong more difficult to conquer.

So when Zhou Cang and Tai Shici led their troops to the city, the city gates of Guangning City were already closed, and there were crowds of people on the towers, waiting in full formation.

"Fortunately, our advance agents entered the city pretending to be a caravan, otherwise there would be many casualties in the siege." Zhou Cang rode on a horse and looked at the defenders guarding the city wall with a smile.

"The general has already said that attacking a city is the worst strategy. Our army is precious, and we cannot die for a city." Tai Shici also smiled, drew his bow and set up an arrow, glanced at it roughly, and shot it out.The arrow left the string, slanted upward into the air, and drew an arc without achieving anything.

He shook his head regretfully, and heard that the great general made the three-stone bow invincible.Today he is also a stone's throw away, not as many as the general.

"Brother Zhou, the general said that Guangning must go down, and those who are mediocre will take it. The garrison in Guangning City is only two thousand, and there are careful support, so we must take it lightly. Soldiers are precious and fast, and I am afraid that mediocrities will increase their troops. I will take them. Attack it quickly."

"Ziyi take care." Zhou Cang cupped his hands.

Taishi Ci returned the salute and immediately led his troops around the city.Guangning is still more than 150 miles away from Juyong. As long as we go fast, I will win.So Taishi Ci led his troops on a forced march, marching [-] miles a day.

For the well-trained soldiers of the Liaodong army who have been eating and drinking for five years, this distance cannot be said to be easy, but there will never be a situation where people are lost, and they can still guarantee some combat effectiveness.

After resting all night until the next day, they marched 100 miles without any time to rest. Tai Shici rushed forward and attacked at night. All the soldiers were wounded.However, the Guangwu Guards led by Tai Shici had zero casualties, and only a few of them ran too fast during the march and broke their skins. This is the speed of soldiers.

The Juyong garrison received the news and sent someone to report to Liu Yu, thinking that Guangning would have to fight for ten days and a half months.After all, siege warfare is not so easy to fight.They didn't expect that Tai Shici would kill him directly after two hundred miles in two days, and they weren't even prepared.

After conquering the Juyong pass and strangling the throat of Youzhou, Tai Shici led three thousand troops to guard the pass, divided into three thousand soldiers from the army Sima, and attacked the place from Juyong to Guangning.

This is a mature model. The army will drive over and ask who is the largest landowner in the countryside and how their reputation is on weekdays. If the good ones confiscate most of the land, if the bad ones confiscate all the land, the whole family will be forced to work.There were also rural rangers. They were all arrested and asked about their reputation among the people. The good ones were given a beating and let go, while the bad ones were assigned to hard labor.Then he organized the measurement of land, announced policies, appointed civil officials, and distributed land to the people.

Basically, each family has a lot of land, which is distributed according to the saturated labor of a family of six.Of course, at this time, many families did not separate their families, so by the way, civil officials also presided over the work of separating their families, and those who were not filial would be punished at that time.

With such a large-scale distribution of land, there must be someone who does not have land.But it doesn't matter, they all move away and distribute them to other places, and so on. If there is no land in the end, they will be sent to the grassland, a large grassland will be distributed, and some sheep and horses will be distributed.If you don't want to, you can go thousands of miles and move to Liaodong to settle down.

Zhou Cang over there did the same thing after taking Guangping. He left [-] troops to defend the city, and asked the marching Sima to clean up from the city and go northward. .

Of course, they didn't forget to send signal soldiers back to Liaodong via the grasslands, tell the general the news, and dispatch civilian officials, supplies to support the army's consumption, and prepare for the construction in the next spring.

Grassland replied that Liaodong was thousands of miles away, but it was less than 150 miles from Juyongguan to Jixian County, where Liu Yu and others lived.It is only more than 500 miles away from the place where Gongsun Zan leads the troops and Huang Zhong takes command...

"What? The king's thieves captured Juyong?" Gongsun Zan stared at the trembling messengers in front of him.

"Yes, general, the king's thieves raised more than [-] troops. They first surrounded Guangning, and then marched [-] miles in two days to attack Juyong at night. At that time, there were only [-] defenders in Juyong. They were unprepared. Several troops fled back. The situation reported by the soldiers. I don’t know what the situation in Guangning is, but there are only [-] defenders in Guangning. The Liaodong Army is so brave that Guangning will not be able to hold on for long, and [-]% of it has been breached."

Looking at Gongsun Zan's murderous eyes, the messenger soldier still told all the information.

Glancing at Liu Bei who was sitting at the bottom, Gongsun Zan asked, "How does Liu Youzhou plan?"

"Deploy [-] troops to occupy it, and send a villain to entrust the general, saying that the king of Liaodong treats the people very well, and he must not do anything to disturb the people. The general can use this as a basis, and do not use weapons rashly, lightly start the war, and harm the people. Harm yourself, it’s not worth it.”

Gongsun Zan looked down upon Liu Yu, let alone all of Liu Yu's subordinates. He thought they were all talkers and useless.However, the decision to deploy [-] troops to support each other was correct and had to be done.After all, once there is no obstruction, the king's army of thieves will march straight in, and Youzhou will be in danger.As for what he said about not starting the battle lightly, he really wanted to crack Liu Yu's head open to see what was growing inside.Although Wang Thief assumed the throne because of his filth, he was granted the title of Marquis of Liao, General of Tianwu, and the prefect of Liaodong.Such a big rebel went south to seek the country. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how could Liu Yu say such a thing?
He waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, watched the messenger leave as if fleeing, turned to look at Liu Bei, and said: "Xuande, why didn't you listen to your words before? Do you know that the king's thief wants to seize mediocrity?" ?”

"Brother, Bei really doesn't know." Liu Bei cupped his hands.

He led Liu, Guan and Zhang to the south, intending to go to Luoyang, but met Gongsun Zan who sent troops to occupy Huang Zhong, and advised him to stay in Liaodong for a while, and it would be okay to go when the situation in Luoyang became clearer.It's not easy for Liu Bei to shirk, and he really wants to see if the situation in Luoyang is really what General Wang said before.

Now he has received the news that He Jin is dead, and Dong Zhuo welcomes the emperor into the capital to take power in the court...

He continued to explain: "I have already told my elder brother that in the middle of May, when I received a letter from the late emperor Daxing, the king said that Huang Zhong would lead the Xuanwu guards into Linyu, and said that they would be transferred later, after the autumn harvest. By the time Yunchang and Yide returned from the grassland, it was already mid-June. After two days of rest, they set off southward. It has already been three and a half months, how could I have known..."

"Don't think too much about Xuande." Gongsun Zan laughed, relieving his embarrassment, "It's not that I doubt Xuande's career, but the real king and the thief take over the mediocrity. It's beyond my expectations. The overall situation is the thief and not me. Xuande knows that the soldiers of Tuhe geometry?"

"There were [-] troops before, but now they have been mobilized. I don't know what the strength of the troops is now."

"You once said that the king's thief army has seven guards and a battalion of more than [-]. The Liao land and the grassland are separated by a valley, and the grassland guards against the Xianbei barbarians. Wei, one guard in Linyu, Shicai Xin sent Yan Wang's bandits to raise more than [-] troops, go down to Guangning, and seize Juyong. If this is the case, I expect Tuhe to have only one guard with [-] soldiers."

Gongsun Zan muttered while thinking, and suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Bei, "I guess the rear defense will be weak. If I lead an army of [-] over the mountain and go straight to the hinterland, I will kill the king's thief and peel the last grass. Does Xuande think my plan is feasible?"

"No."

Liu Bei shook his head without hesitation. He knew the situation of General Wang very well, and before he left, he also asked if he could reveal the truth about Liaodong, because he knew that if others knew that he had a resume in Liaodong, they would inevitably ask about the situation in Liaodong.At that time, General Wang laughed and said, "I speak out clearly to the world, who can resist me?" It was quite rampant, but Liu Bei really believed it. No one knew the horror of General Wang better than him.

He said: "If he wants to send troops to the sea, he will find out where the east of the sea is. Is it true that the sky is round? So Er supervised the construction of sea ships and the training of the navy. He is now four years old and has [-] navies stationed in Tuhe. I also I once told my brother that under his rule, the Xingmin militia, with armored weapons at home, busy farming and slack farming training, compared with the seven guards, but they have not fought, and their sturdyness is no different.

Once my brother leads the army to attack, he will be noticed fifty miles away, and when he reaches Tuhe, there will be more than ten thousand soldiers and horses waiting for work.And brother, you should know that Wang Yan is an invincible general.Brother leads [-] troops, or they will be defeated in one battle.Years ago when Wang Yan arrived in Liaodong, he used one guard to defeat Wuhuan's tens of thousands of troops.Liaodong Gongsun, Qiu Liju, Wuyan, and Su Puyan all died without a burial place, brother should be careful. "

Just now he wanted to peel Wang Yan's bark last and return the past humiliation, but he was hit back by the number one 'Wang Chui'.

Gongsun Zan felt a little uncomfortable, and frowned, "Don't we have to sit and wait for death? Seeing the king's thief encroaching on Youzhou?"

Liu Bei responded with a wry smile, agreeing with Gongsun Zan's words.

Of course, he has thought about this question more than once. If he wants to kill Wang Yan, there is only one way, and that is to use the power of the world, and millions of troops to attack in multiple ways, and they must cooperate sincerely with each other so that they cannot be hindered.Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to destroy Wang Yan with the power of a state alone.

Because General Wang now has a deep foundation and cannot be destroyed at one time, the annihilation war will become a protracted war, which will give Wang Yan a chance to breathe.Based on his understanding of Wang Yan and Liaodong, as long as he gets a chance to breathe, it basically means that he has won.

Unless Wang Yan is dead, or stupid, because Liaodong's military and government are all controlled by Wang Yan, once he dies, Liaodong will collapse by itself.But this kind of possibility is almost impossible. After all, Wang Yan himself is a peerless military general and a genius doctor. If he dies, Wang Yan will not take him with him.

Many times Liu Bei didn't think about this issue because he was too desperate.

But on the other hand, Wang Yan also clearly said that it will take 30 to 30 years to slow down the development of the world.It was these [-] or [-] years that gave him the courage to think about going south to build a business.It has been too long and there have been many changes. He, Liu Xuande, may not have no chance.

So he also comforted some good senior brothers who were hit hard: "Don't worry, brother, there are millions of soldiers and people in Liaodong. Although they are four years old, they spend a lot of money. The king said that he treats the people very kindly. I once asked when the whole world will be taken. He said that it must be 30 to [-] years, because he did not want to treat the people under the original rule badly, and benefited the newly attached people too much.

Today, Huang Zhong led the army to go south to Linyu and stop, that's exactly what happened.My guess is that there is no war in a mediocre place.It takes a long time to manage, and no matter how much energy is left, the army will be expanded, and the elder brother may not be invincible. "

"Xuande, what if I surrender to the king as a thief?"

"Brother must die."

"So what if you don't surrender?"

"Youzhou will eventually have its day when it can be eaten away. Brother, you must know that one one is two, two two is four, four and four are eight, and it will be endless. The thicker its background is, if you have no other ideas, the possibility of your victory is unlikely. , and will die at that time."

"Surrender is death, not surrender is also death, what's the difference?"

"The former brother is not tortured, but the latter cannot seek death." Liu Bei said very straightforwardly.

"Why?"

"Since you know it, why bother to ask?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Wang Yan is for all the people, and my brother is also from a wealthy family, and he often does things that abuse the people. Moreover, the army under the brother's command is also domineering and bullying the people, robbing the people of their wealth, and prostitution of the people's daughters. These are all Wang Yan must kill. Prepare in Liaodong. In [-], two people who peeled the last grass, and their families were all sent to labor. Today, the whole family is dead, even if the child is not alive. There are five other people who are sent to labor by the whole family. It is also sad this year. Seven people are officials. Desecrating and harming the people, intentionally misinterpreting the government's decree."

"With such harsh punishments and laws, officials will complain a lot, and it will not last long." Gongsun Zan said with certainty.

Liu Bei shook his head, and didn't hit his brother again.

General Wang was actually very tolerant towards the officials, and gave them high courtesy, and the lives of the officials were much better than those of the common people.However, desires are hard to fill, and what General Wang deals with is courting death.Besides, when Wang Yan brought so many people to the north, he didn't have a single official to serve him, so it didn't mean that he had achieved his current foundation.Now that schools are being opened to train young children, there will be no shortage of officials in the future.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Gongsun Zan only lamented Wang Yan's vicious tactics, and asked, "Xuande, do you assert that the king's bandits will stop now and won't raise any more troops?"

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, how dare to break the preparation? However, according to my understanding, there will be no worries this winter, and I don't know what will happen in the coming spring. Moreover, there are changes in Luoyang. He Jin died, the ten permanent servants are destroyed, Dong Zhuo is in power, and he wants to do something. The matter of abolishing the establishment. Before I went south, Wang Yan once asserted that Dong Zhuo would become rampant, and the officials would not be at peace physically and mentally. , is also a foregone conclusion, there will be major changes within half a year, and there may be opportunities at that time."

Gongsun Zan nodded happily: "Xuande has always been far-sighted, so we will stay here to wait for the changes in Luoyang."

He said that he surrendered to the king thief, that is to say, it was impossible for him to surrender.Gongsun Zan certainly didn't believe Liu Bei's hype about the king thief.He admitted that Wang Zei's soldiers are strong and his horses are strong, and he is very clear about the movement on the grassland. Not proud...

Not moving troops now, not because he is afraid of the king's thief, but because Luoyang changes, so the world will change, so he naturally wants to keep his troops in anticipation of the changes.The reason why he led the army this time was to swallow another of Liu Yu's soldiers and horses, and control all of the current more than [-] troops.

If not, he would have started a war with Huang Zhong long ago.

So what if Huang Zhong can single out with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?Wang Yan can smash Liu Guanzhang by himself, so what?What is the use of bravery?With his army in hand, how can he still be afraid of the king thief?

Liu Bei didn't know what Gongsun Zan thought, but he could probably understand that Gongsun Zan probably didn't take Wang Yan too seriously.He understands this kind of thing very well. Outsiders know Wang Yan's news, and they rely on the caravan to find out. What can the caravan know?Although they gave Wang Yan a BMW and a daughter-in-law, and even Wang Yan's current foundation, there is also a reason for their great help.

But they really didn't look down on Wang Yan, this kind of pride for thousands of years cannot be changed.

What can wake them up and make them realize reality?Perhaps only General Wang’s butcher knife...
