Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 503 Where Did Sima Yi Go?
One hundred miles to the south.

"Report...Report to Your Majesty, the Sima clan, except Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, were all captured by General Ma Chao in the north."

"it is good."

"Report...Report to Your Majesty, General Hao Zhao captured a group of princes and ministers of Cao Wei in the east, but Sima Yi and his son were not seen."

"good."

Liu Feng glanced back at the few people on the list.

"Wang Chang, Sima Yi was in a coma at the time, it was Han De who ordered to fight Zilong."

Wang Chang is very tangled in his heart at the moment, is he going to betray the old owner so soon?
But he still cupped his fists and bowed, "Report to Your Majesty, Sima Yi and his son and Han De's three youngest sons were all escorted south by Wang Ji, and their whereabouts are missing."

"I heard that Han De asked him to use the plum blossom splitting trick before."

"Oh?"

Liu Feng's eyes lit up. Isn't this how Sun Wukong met Leopard Jing, and he tricked three senior brothers into capturing Tang Seng?

"Report to Your Majesty, General Zilong has dispatched three armies to pursue him."

"In addition, Cao Gong, who crossed the Great Wall's defense line, has also followed Cao Zhi, Wang Ping, Guan Yu, and Xia Houshang to pursue it."

"Order the whole army and conduct a blanket search."

"Here."

Liu Feng rode on the horse and slowed down, "This battle has lasted since crossing the river in March and now in August. It has been fought for half a year, and it is time to end."

"Your Majesty, on the grassland, there is still General Chen Qingzhi taking care of the people. Will we still fight north?"

"Hit."

"In the northwest of Dingling, there are also Kunjian people. There are 20 million people in the tribe, which is a hidden danger in the northwest."

"Further north on the ice field, there are also Sarmatians. They span thousands of miles and occupy a huge territory north of the Han Dynasty. The area is almost half a Han Dynasty."

"The territory of one and a half big Han." Pound was a little shocked, "How strong is this country?"

"The population is small, zero and zero. It would be nice to have a few million." Liu Feng raised his horsewhip and pointed to the north, "But they are fighting. The nation likes to fight. It fights from east to west, directly to the The place where the west borders the Roman Empire is considered to be the strongest force in the entire world besides the Guishuang Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Parthian Empire."

"However, their tribes are scattered, and they fight with the duke, earl, and chiefs of the tribes."

"The strong clan has hundreds of thousands, and the weak clan has thousands."

"Not enough to be afraid of."

"The key is the west."

"I intend to appoint Taiwei Pang Tong as the governor of the Western Regions. The commander is currently guarding the western generals Yan Rou, Qianzhao, Xian Yufu, Tian Yu, etc., and then dispatches troops from Hebei to recruit 40 troops to enter the Western Regions."

"As soon as the 36 countries in the Western Regions are settled down, my Tiannan army will go north, attack from north to south, and besiege the Guishuang Empire."

Pound stroked his beard with one hand, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have discovered many coal mines in Jizhou and Bingzhou?"

"good."

"Since this thing can keep warm, then the son of the North will have a better winter. We can conquer the northern ice field and live there."

"But the fierce fire oil is useless except for siege and making incendiary bombs. Your Majesty exhausted his troops and attacked the Guishuang Empire. Is our army only for the gold in their country?"

Liu Feng shook his head, "Countries in the Western Regions mainly use fire oil and a kind of gas. In terms of strategy, only the Silk Road connecting countries on the European continent is of some use."

"As for the Guishuang Empire, Menghuo Oil is not the best resource in their territory."

"In the Guishuang Empire, the best resources are coal mines, followed by iron mines, copper mines, limestone, and gold mines."

"hiss……"

Pound took a deep breath, "Coal mine, now His Majesty has invented the stove. In the territory of Han, only Xishan has a lot of minerals, and it is being mined vigorously. Now there is another land of the Guishuang Empire. If it is used If it is captured, our army will have one more mine.”

"Not only that, my Yingzhou navy discovered a silver mountain in Shijian country in Yingzhou. It has only been mined for two months now, and the output is enough to match half of the annual output of my Dahan silver mine."

"What?" Pang De was ecstatic when he heard the words, "Your Majesty now uses gold, silver and copper as my currency."

"It's really gratifying to be able to get such a mountain of silver in a place like Yingzhou and other islands."

"Don't be so busy being happy."

"I also got a few gold mountains."

"Distributed in Echigo Sado, Kai Kurokawa, Zhongshan, Anbai Meijima, Izu and other places."

"Little Yingzhou has so much gold and silver. No wonder His Majesty wants to storm Yingzhou and bring Yamatai Kingdom into the Han territory."

"The ministers in the court before thought that Yingzhou was too far away from my big man, but now it seems that after our army captured Liaodong and wiped out Sanhan, we took a boat from Sanhan to Yingzhou. Half a day by water."

Liu Fengle turned his horse's head, "Tiannan has now assembled an army of one million. The 30 coalition forces of various countries can rely on domestic food and grass for self-sufficiency, but our army's 70 troops have to be supplied by us."

"Fortunately, the early rice harvest this year is good, and now there are 200 million stones of grain and grass, which have been delivered to the front lines, and they can be used for a month or two."

"Your Majesty, is there any chance of winning the war between our army and the Guishuang Empire on the southern front?"

"The Guishuang Empire's combat power is not strong."

Liu Feng pointed to the Western Regions, "Once the Wusun people who have enemies with them are willing to send troops, our army can start."

"But if our army attacks the Western Regions, the Wusun people should stop fighting against our army."

Liu Feng smiled, "It's useless for him to be defensive."

"Now I have set up six horse farms in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuchang, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong, just to domesticate millions of horses and provide high-quality horses for the cavalry."

"War horses... expensive, Your Majesty."

Liu Feng nodded heavily.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to fight the Xiongnu for decades because of the financial resources of Wenjing Zhizhi.

But the cavalry has never exceeded the number of one hundred thousand, because the cavalry is too expensive.

Not to mention stirrups, sabers, bows and arrows, horse spears, etc., it is the fodder that war horses eat, which is more than people. This is considered to be two expenses a day.

Even later Tang Taizong Li Shimin, with the power of the whole country, domesticated millions of war horses, could there be 20 cavalry?

He must not be poor to death!
"After the war, I will reorganize the army to fight."

"The farther west our army goes to fight, the longer the battle line will be."

"Today, four Chidao roads in Liangzhou have been built, from Guanzhong all the way to Dunhuang County, and now the Chidao road to Cheshi Kingdom is being built."

Liu Feng pointed to the east, "The road from Goguryeo to Sanhan is about to be completed. By then, the output of one silver mine and four gold mines in Yingzhou can be shipped to Xuchang within one month."

"Food and grass from all over the country can also be delivered by water transport and fast roads."

"It will not take more than one and a half months for me to deploy troops from south to north. This is a great achievement far surpassing that of Qin and Han."
