Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 807: Continuous Strategy
The place of origin has an extremely huge impact on a country, and it is also the most stable and loyal place in a country.
While the rebellion instigated by Xinghan was in full swing in various regions around the world, there was almost no clear-cut rebellion in the Central Plains.
Even though the Qing court had a lot of problems, compared to those colonies, the people in the Central Plains truly treated the Qing court as their own home.
Although they may be lower than the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners in the Central Plains are also superior to those in other regions.
Of course, it was precisely because of this kind of thinking that the battle between Bai Qi and Han Xin was extremely difficult.
On the one hand, it was because the other side also had a military god who could not be crushed, and on the other hand, there were really a large number of vested interests who had received favors from the Qing court and were willing to sacrifice for it.
The Military and Political Court had some speculation about this kind of extreme thinking. After all, it was impossible for the Qing court to conquer the world and create such a big business without anyone willing to work for them.
Therefore, from the very beginning they did not expect to use others to destroy the Qing court. They planned to use a large army to accomplish this goal from the beginning to the end.
It was just that Kolya's incident made their plans go more smoothly.
Bloodshed is inevitable, but it must be reduced if possible. This is the responsibility that these wise men must bear.
However, the problem now facing these wise men is how they should deal with the next enemy counterattack.
The Qing Dynasty was an empire in its rising period. Even if such an empire had a lot of problems, it would never collapse directly due to a heavy blow.
It might even be better to say that Qing Ting was in the most danger after being injured.
Because they were hurt, they knew what to do.
It is just like humans before being injured are afraid of small dogs that bite them, but after being injured, the terrifying upright ape will let the small dog know what fear is.
This is the current situation of the Qing court's aristocracy. No matter how decadent they were before, or how smart these people are, after the war broke out, they knew what they should do.
At the beginning, they fell into chaos due to the problem of sudden attack and maintained a conservative state, but later, after Huang Taiji made unified arrangements, these areas immediately took action.
After all, the siege of the capital and ancestral land had no substantial impact on them. They still had the necessary food and grass. This group of people would definitely recruit soldiers everywhere, make preparations, and then attack.
For military nobles, going to war is just like living a normal life. For them, this is the meaning of their existence. When they decide that a war should be declared, they will definitely not be ambiguous. After all, this group of people have an innate stance when facing war.
And this is also the most troublesome thing for Xinghan at the moment. Strictly speaking, they now control all areas north of the Yellow River.
However, large numbers of troops were gathering in the areas south of the Yellow River and in the Yangtze River basin and were moving northward.
Although they have been trying to use various methods to slow down the advance of troops in these areas, a mobilized collective cannot be stopped by simple strategies.
Without investing enough manpower and material resources, how can we stop the march of millions of troops?
However, there are always more solutions than problems, and Guo Jia thought of a pretty good one.
Generally speaking, when sending troops abroad, the rear area must be stable, otherwise the difficulty of sending troops will increase significantly.
Back then, the biggest reason for the failure of Emperor Yang of Sui's second expedition against Goguryeo was that Yang Xuangan rebelled in the rear, cutting off the food supply, causing the army's logistics to explode and forcing it to retreat.
And now Guo Jia plans to use the same trick again.
They did not have that many troops to invest, but the Qing court had them within itself.
A large number of bandits are hiding in the deep mountains and forests, and they are ready-made soldiers.
It is impossible to let them confront the Qing court's regular army head-on, but it is entirely possible to let them plunder and thus destroy the Qing army's logistics.
From the very beginning, after they controlled the area near the capital, they had already sent officers and soldiers to infiltrate the rear to prepare for a rebellion.
"It's time to activate them. I don't know how hard they are working!"
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes. The time was still a little short. If the time was longer, such as a year or two, he believed that the officers he sent out would be able to hand in a satisfactory answer.
But the problem is that time waits for no one. It has been fifty days since they entered this world and the war has been in full swing on major battlefields.
Even with the corrupt administrative efficiency, the assembly was almost complete at this time. After all, the foundation was still there in the rising period, and it was not as completely hopeless as at the end of the dynasty.
Standing in a village, Pei Yuanshao, wearing a set of stolen armor, couldn't help sneezing. He had a lot of experience in rebellion and being a bandit.
Also sent to various places were officers and generals who had once been bandits, such as Zhang Yan, Sun Guan, Guan Hai, and Zang Ba.
It is not difficult for them to return to their old business. After all, they have done it once, and they have grown up over the years and are almost familiar with the management and routines.
Guo Jia's requirements for them were simple, which was to expand the team and then wait for the rule.
So they developed peacefully for two months, and when they received the order from Guo Jia, they immediately took action.
Pei Yuanshao looked at the order in his hand, destroyed it with his internal energy, and then began to summon the bandits under his command.
With his powerful military force and outstanding personal charm, he has successfully assembled a team of 800 people, annexed all the nearby mountain strongholds, and successfully became the king of the mountain in this area.
Relying on clear rewards and punishments and fists as big as sandbags, these bandits simply obeyed Pei Yuanshao's orders.
Pei Yuanshao gave these bandits some simple training, but in the eyes of Pei Yuanshao, who had been leading the regular army for many years, these bandits were completely unworthy of being accepted.
Not to mention a head-on clash with the regular army, even if they were to fight against those farming soldiers, they might end up in failure.
But it was enough for Pei Yuanshao. As a former Yellow Turban, he was well-versed in preaching and rebelling.
There is no way. In the process of following Zhang Jiao to rebel and growing stronger with Mu Yi, I really learned a lot of incitement skills, which had a great stimulating effect, especially on the lower-class people.
Pei Yuanshao led these bandits to infiltrate various villages, find someone to complain about the dark reality, then pat the person on the shoulder and say, "Come on, fight me."
Anyway, you have been oppressed to this extent and have only one miserable life left. Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?
Follow me, knife in hand, kill those corrupt officials, enforce justice, and live like a human being.
To be honest, although the Qing Dynasty was an empire in its rising period, its high-pressure management model meant that the lives of the lower-class people were not very good.
Some places may be relatively good, but in some places, especially those hit by disasters, the people there are no longer human beings.
The court’s disaster relief had to first save the officials. By the time the officials were well fed, the victims would have starved to death.
It is really a period of loss and growth, and there are a lot of high-yield crops, so many people can barely survive, but they still have no food to eat. But who doesn't want to live a good life?
Pei Yuanshao's incitement completely met the most basic needs of people, but the high-pressure rule of the Qing court still shrouded these people.
Some people even chose to join in on a whim, but when the time came to actually take action, they became cowards.
He even reverted to his bandit style for the first time, leading these people to attack the residential areas of landlords and officials, to kill, burn and loot. When Pei Yuanshao rushed forward, most of the people did not dare to move.
Fortunately, the main force of the Qing army was gone, and with the addition of some brave men who followed Pei Yuanshao, they were able to defeat the enemy.
Then they dragged the officials and landlords, like dead dogs, and threw them in front of these cowards.
"Now you make your own choice. Do you want to kill them and enjoy a good life, or go back and continue to live a life worse than pigs and dogs?"
Pei Yuanshao held a knife and looked at the guys in front of him fiercely. To be honest, everything went too smoothly before, so he let down his guard and almost fell into trouble in such a place.
He didn't expect these guys to be so cowardly. Back then, they rebelled because they couldn't survive.
He now understood the helplessness of General Tian Gong back then. Now he has become such a terrible state, what's the point of saying anything else?
Pei Yuanshao simply gave up the idea of saving these people. Since they didn't even want to fight for their own destiny, they were not worth saving.
Finally, under Pei Yuanshao's coercion, all the officials and landlords were chopped into meat paste, and then these people with no way to retreat followed Pei Yuanshao to plunder the surrounding areas.
To Pei Yuanshao, this group of people were nothing but scum, but they had seen blood and had no way out, and that was enough.
The next step is to lead this group of people to rob and kill people, and in the process establish their own prestige. If they say they cannot move, then they cannot move even if they die.
If you say charge, then even if the opponent comes like a tide, you should charge forward fearlessly. As long as you kill to that extent, even if you are a regular army, you will have the capital to fight.
By then, we can make something bigger, instead of just doing small things like we are doing now.
Not only Pei Yuanshao, but also Guan Hai and others are like this.
They don't need to worry about the subsequent governance, so they just carry out destructive massacres and recruit new people, and their power expands like a balloon.
The rampant banditry made officials in various places extremely anxious. Guan Hai, who was the most powerful, even gathered a crowd of over 10,000 people, defeated the government army head-on, opened the granaries to release grain, and then distributed the land equally.
Anyway, they are bandits now, so they don't have to worry about credibility. They can just let themselves go and do whatever it takes to expand their power and team as quickly as possible.
Guo Jia and his men didn't care what Pei Yuanshao and his men were doing south of the Yellow River. All they had to do was make some noise and avoid getting beaten to death.
As for what Pei Yuanshao and his men would do, Guo Jia and his men didn't care at all. Their enemies are our heroes.
Until they become our own people, they are our enemies. As long as they are our enemies, we must strike them hard and never show any mercy to them, otherwise we would be cruel to our own people.
As for being beaten to death...
To be honest, these generals and officers are all very capable. People like Zhang Yan can directly influence the war situation among the princes.
In short, Guo Jia was not worried about these people at all. After all, although these people were not famous generals, they were all veterans of the battlefield. If the situation was really bad, they could just run away.
An officer who has achieved the level of leaving the body through internal energy will never be caught as long as he keeps his mind clear and is determined to escape.
Therefore, after Guo Jia sent this group of people out, he no longer paid attention to them and devoted himself to how to defeat the opposing army in the next war.
No matter how many tricks you use, a head-on war is inevitable, and everyone knows that.
After all, it is impossible for most of the Central Plains to be ravaged by bandits. As long as one or two states can draw out supplies, it will be enough to push the war forward.
Arranging Pei Yuanshao and others to cause trouble in the rear is also to increase the chances of winning.
There are no particularly powerful generals among these people, but as veterans of long battlefields, they are the backbone of this country.
This group of people may not be as skillful as the talented officers who can seize a glimmer of hope and turn the tables, but they can do what they should do.
Letting them stay in the front will have no impact on the situation, but letting them go to the rear to cause sabotage.
If the Qing army does not dispatch some outstanding officers and corps, there is no way it will be able to quell the disaster.
Suppressing bandits has always been a troublesome matter, especially when the purpose of these bandits is only to cause destruction. The energy and resources required to suppress bandits will be several times that of a head-on confrontation.
As long as manpower is withdrawn, it will inevitably affect the frontal combat effectiveness.
Things like the chance of winning are accumulated bit by bit.
Although Han Xin was not impressed by this plot, he did not resist it.
His focus was entirely on conquering cities and territories, and he was too lazy to worry about things like weakening the enemy.
Because Han Xin has already started the snowball phase that he is most familiar with.
With Yanjing as the center, it began to expand towards the surrounding areas, and all captured prisoners were incorporated into the legion.
If it were someone else, they might have to worry about organizational issues, but for Han Xin, it was not a problem at all.
All he needs are people. Although these armies put together from all over the place are certainly not comparable to the regular army he leads, they are all enemies.
For Han Xin, taking the enemy's things and fighting the enemy means eating from the enemy, which can demonstrate his own value.
In fact, after many days of siege, Han Xin had already escaped from the besieging army, leaving behind several large legions to command the siege. After all, this thing did not require any technical skills.
As long as the enemy does not break out, it makes no difference whether the commander of the siege is the commander of a large army or a god of war.
So Han Xin took a group of elite backbones and started snowballing in all directions.
When Pei Yuanshao and his men were feeling complacent after gathering a crowd of over ten thousand, Han Xin had already gathered a crowd of hundreds of thousands, and all of them were soldiers who had seen blood.
Yan Hui led the Confucians to reform the "literary inquisition" of the Qing court, combined it with the legal soldiers of that year, and then incorporated Sun Wu's new oath talent to create a new legal soldier.
That is to say, these soldiers are used as batteries to feed the army of gods and demons. (End of this chapter)
