"I didn't expect that we could return to western Liaoning in just a few years."

"This time it's a completely different situation."

On the coast of western Liaoning, with Liu Yi's order, the soldiers of more than 50 armies of the ten-wing capital, including naval officers and soldiers from more than 30 armies, land division officers and soldiers from more than 20 armies, and heavy armored cavalry from three armies began to land on the beach.

Li Xingwu and Dong Ruixiang each led a wing capital, and Tian Heng and Lu Sihai and other generals are now commanders of the wing capital.

Liu Yi was the general manager of the Liaoxi Army camp. His status was the same as that of the Grand Marshal of the Great Wei, which was equivalent to the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. His shoulders were already a huge Venus star, which was different from the silver star of the commander of the Xiangdu. This was also the highest peak of the military rank system of the palace army and the highest honor of the generals of the Qin Dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The conquered western Liaoning had more than 200,000 logistics personnel, more than 400 main ships, more than 1,500 auxiliary ships, and 1,500 warships carried 300,000 sailors, as well as a large amount of food and supplies, which not only cared for the logistics of the troops of the route, but also supported the supply of more than half of the food and supplies from Shandong Hebei.

Shipping is really too easy and economical.

The chief general of the army camp in Shandong and Hebei was Qin Dongyang, and the main force of the Northern Expedition Army was also the main force of the First Army. More than 120 troops, including the First Army, were mobilized. The number of large troops and logistics personnel was more than 450,000. The large carriages alone mobilized more than 30,000, including horses, mules, and donkeys, each with three people.

The number of mules and horses seems to be amazing, but in fact, according to the Tang army regulations, each ten people has one fire, and each fire has six horses or donkeys. The army of 450,000 people has nearly 200,000 mules and horses.

The government army also had a lot of mules and horses, but if it was to meet the requirements of the army's logistics, the main reason was that a large amount of materials was transported by sea. After the army attacked Shandong, it established supply points at several ports on Shandong Road and transported nearby. Although it still had to detour hundreds of miles, it was definitely much easier than carrying the army when it set out in Jiangnan.

Secondly, a large number of carriages were prepared. The camp in Hebei, Shandong, set out from Jiangning to cross the river. It was not difficult to cross the river. The navy controlled the Yangtze River. Yangzhou was near the river bank. The Donghu people did not send heavy troops to garrison at all. There were only a small number of surrendered northern imperial guards. Once the vanguard of the army arrived, these northern imperial guards either surrendered or were defeated and fled.

From Yangzhou to Chuzhou, and then to Xuzhou on Shandong Road, along the way, they all walk north and south by the widest and best-maintained official roads from the capital to Jiangning.

In addition, there were a large number of civilian ships collected and headed north along the Grand Canal with the army.

The camp in western Liaoning was mainly based on navy. The mission was to get ashore from western Liaoning, to capture Yuguan and Ningyuan, control Songta Forts, to Jinzhou and Yushui side, seize all of them, and then garrison along the Yushui River.

It was not required to go ashore directly from southern Liaoning. Although the plan of the General Staff Headquarters was like this, they went ashore from southern Liaoning, attacked directly from southern Liaoning to Liaodong, captured Liaozhou and other places, and destroyed the old nests of the Donghu people.

However, Xu Zixian rejected this plan.

It has to be said that the plan proposed by those advisers is quite bold and direct and effective, but Xu Zi first considers the overall situation. It is not difficult to defeat the Donghu people, but to completely eradicate this hidden danger, we must be prepared to continue to go north in the future.

Along the Liao River, Nenjiang, and Heilongjiang continue to move northward, and take the opportunity of pursuing the remnants of Donghu forces to continue to move northward, obtain the three northeastern provinces in later generations, and continue to move northward, reaching the northeastern ice ocean, and completely obtaining the millions of square kilometers of land outside the northeast.

The large territories are not only the wilderness in the Arctic Circle, but also the extremely precious forestry resources, oil, natural gas, and minerals. This is not a desert or barren land without development value, but a treasure land.

Even now, you can obtain a large number of rare products such as pearls, ginseng, dried fruits, deer skins, etc., and you can set up stations along the way, establish military residences in some suitable places, and build supply points along river roads. As long as you open up development, whether it is a treasure land like Songnen Plain or the inexhaustible primitive resources, these things will attract thousands of people to immigrate here, cultivate, and reproduce.

In addition to the camps in western Liaoning and the march in Hebei, there are also camps in Jingzhou, Henan, Hedong and Qinfeng, which were under the command of Ge Cunzhong.

There were more than 80 troops along the way, with 350,000 main force and logistics personnel.

The three camps had more than 900,000 troops, which was a completely real army of millions. The shogunate manifesto was issued in Jiangning, and was checked by Li Yi, Wu Shizhong and Fang Shaoqun. Many Confucians started writing, and after Xu Zi approved it in the Jiangning Palace, they were promulgated to the world.

Then the three armies set out one after another, mobilizing along Jingbei, Jiangning, Fuzhou and other important places. Since the fall of Yanjing in the 19th day of Chongde, Hebei, Henan, Hedong, Qinfeng, Shandong, and other roads fell, and all fell into Hu Chen, less than a year later, Xu Zixian announced as the Prince of Kaifu of the Great Wei Dynasty to be the governor of Jiangning, and did not immediately announce his succession as the emperor.

A million troops fought northwards, and the Donghu soldiers fought against the prefectures in the northern border of Henan Road and were defeated. They fought against the prefectures in Xuzhou and were defeated again. When Liu Yi led his army to land in western Liaoning and prepared to go to Yu Pass and Ningyuan to cut off his main force's return, the prefectures had defeated the Donghu one after another. Although he had not defeated his main force, the Donghu still had 150,000 cavalry in his hands, and more than 100,000 northern imperial guards who had surrendered, anyone with discerning eyes could see that such a little army was unable to defend the vast territory of the north of the Great Wei, and any of the three armies had the strength to fight head-on with the Donghu soldiers, or even defeat them with dignity.

The navy seemed weak all the way, but it crossed the sea directly from the sea. There were only a few thousand Donghu soldiers in Yuguan, and there were only a few thousand from Ningyuan to Songta. After the army was launched, Yuguan to northwestern Liao became a key place. If you want to break through the pass, you will face a 200,000 army of the government troops. It is impossible. The Donghu people want to leave, not only can they not pass Yuguan, but even the grasslands at the northwest Liao are dangerous. They can only take a detour of thousands of miles and walk from the dense forests by the Hulun River. There is no logistics or supply. If you detour thousands of miles, you can imagine how many more people will die.

Moreover, the Liaoxi Army will not let it escape from its nose after establishing its foothold. Xu Zixian assigned three armies of cavalry to the Liaoxi Army, and there were also a considerable number of light cavalry. If the Donghu army was defeated and fled, it would no longer be established. Under the impact and harassment of a large number of cavalry, how many of them could travel thousands of miles and escape back to Liaodong in dense forests and grasslands was hard to say.

"The army is preparing to attack the city under Yuguan." Liu Yi looked relaxed and had a freehand look on his face. He said to everyone: "A few years ago, we took back the defeated imperial guards here. Those imperial guards escaped their lives in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. In today's army, our Grand Wei Yue Taiwei is the deputy general manager of our marching, and the cavalry is led by Deputy General Manager Yue. At that time, it will be time to report back and forth!"

After Yue Zhi arrived at the shogunate, he served in the martial arts hall for more than a year, and then directly led the military capital of the mansion. He was the Grand Marshal in the Great Wei Dynasty and was a foreign general in the government army. The shogunate treated him equally. After all, there was no general manager of the whole or all routes at that time.

When the Northern Expedition was reached, Xu Zixian took into account Yue Zhi's face and planned to set up a general manager of Qinfeng Road or Hedong Road. He gave several wings to Yue Zhi and went to northern Shanxi and northern Shaanxi to lead troops to fight. However, Yue Zhi personally went to Jiangning and refused to meet Xu Zixian... His only idea was to return to western Liaoning with the army, regain Yuguan, Ningyuan, Songta, and build Yushui and Jinzhou again.

"After Li Youde was broken in Jinzhou City, he led more than a hundred elite cavalry to flee north." Liu Yi looked at Yue Zhi and said, "The Taiwei intends to continue going north. Maybe he can see his old friend again?"

"Only what you want, but according to the will of heaven." Yue Zhi's expression was extremely excited. He also persuaded Liu Yi to choose the place where he escaped. The main force of the army was further west. The generals of these generals had to walk dozens of miles more, but all this was undoubtedly worth it.

Yue Zhi couldn't help but trampling on the ground hard, feeling the solidity of the ground, and even exerting too much force, his feet were a little painful.

Yue Zhi didn't care about these. He turned around and looked at the sea, then looked towards Ningyuan, the same valley and dense forest, where there were countless imperial guards who died. Now he was back, behind him was a 200,000 army armed to the teeth, and there were countless military supplies that were inexhaustible.

More than tens of millions of coins, a complete welfare and pension system, high salary and salary, extremely high-quality armor and weapons, a large number of bows, crossbows, firearms, very outstanding tall war horses, countless food and even meat, more than a hundred ships were prepared. In Jiangning, Dengzhou will prepare more materials one after another, which is enough for millions of troops to use for several years without any difficulty.

This army has surpassed Yue Zhi's fantasy. As a front-line general, he wanted to fill up his subordinates' armor, use better long scepters, horizontal swords, and better divine arm bows, and also want to increase the number.

I wanted to pay more money to the Imperial Army soldiers and wanted my brothers to eat better, but I didn't do this.

The soldiers and Yue Zhi were also able to understand that the court had done its best and was powerless. Their treatment was quite good compared to the ordinary people in the Xiang army, and the soldiers of the imperial guards were also satisfied.

As long as you can give some rewards before going to war, ask the soldiers to send them home to settle down, those brave men will

He can fight hard, fight hard for the Great Wei, the tribe, and the generals of his own.

Yue Zhi's eyes were a little wet. He originally thought that he could not walk on this land again in this life. Who would have thought that the Qin King's shogunate and the government army would be so strong in just a few years that the Donghu people not only failed to go south, but now it is difficult to protect themselves.

"The army attacked Yuguan." Liu Yi looked firm, not as sentimental as Yue Zhi. Two hundred thousand troops would come ashore one after another. In front of him, cars and horses were transported from the ship, carrying a large amount of supplies, and baggage soldiers wearing military robes and light armor were responsible for logistics transportation, while a large number of engineers were responsible for maintaining the smooth flow of the road, and they would also help build fortifications and barracks on the battlefield.

The soldiers wearing armor appeared in groups of soldiers on this land, with long swaths like a forest, and the long team could not see the edge at a glance. Countless military flags were flying high, countless knights began to gallop, and a small number of Donghu and whistle rode on the horizon and dodged far away.

This land will change hands again within a few days, and after this reclaim, no one can take it away again!

...

"The garrisons in Chang'an and Jinyang areas have all retreated."

Che Chenhan was already old and had an expression of fatigue that could not be hidden among the wrinkles.

While the Liu brothers invaded the capital, the Donghu people swore to go south and rushed straight to Yu Pass. The garrison of Yu Pass was quite empty, but they fought down and then rushed straight to Yanjing.

In the Yanjing, the Liu brothers and other bandit leaders were all killed in battle. Then the Donghu cavalry went south, and they obtained Hebei, Shandong, Henan, then northern Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and Guanzhong. Then they peeked at Sichuan and prepared to go south in Jingbei.

Just when it was at its peak, news came that the mansion army had swore to the north.

At first, the Donghu nobles didn't care. So what if the government army was strong? As long as it was not on the boat and the southerners formed an army, what would be afraid of?

However, in the battle of Xuzhou, more than 100,000 main forces of Donghu and tens of thousands of servants were defeated by the main forces of the Northern Expedition. From the battle from Jingbei to Henan, Ge Cunzhong steadily fought more than 300,000 troops to crush the north. The tens of thousands of Hu cavalry and more than 100,000 servants were not at all a fight.

The news spread that there were Han people who were in trouble in northern Shanxi and northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong. Donghu had arrived. No one really supported the blood debts of the Hu people. During every war, the surrendered Wei army would either be defeated or directly switch flags on the battlefield.

When wars broke out everywhere, the Donghu people found that there was no place to be safe, no one was given food and grass, no one paid taxes, no officials, and no one was responsible for the officials. The generals who surrendered to the subordinate fled one after another, and did not dare to continue to serve the Donghu people... In addition to being shocked, Che Chenhan felt the serious threat, he quickly ordered the army of Xuzhou to retreat, and the Donghu soldiers from Shandong, Henan and Hedong were all retreating quickly.

According to Chen Khan's original plan, the Wei State's government army was strong and had sufficient soldiers and food. If it could not confront each other head-on, it would be withdrawn from Yu Pass to Liaodong. Although it would inevitably be threatened to wipe out in the future, it would have a few years of buffering time.

If you still cannot fight, you will scatter into the forest and flee thousands of miles north to the north to escape. In this way, the country will be destroyed as a whole, but it can be scattered into hundreds or thousands of small tribes, surviving in the ice and snow, waiting for the opportunity.

The Han people will decline once every few hundred years and become stronger again. Che Chen Khan believes that the Great Wei will be in a period of recession and may last for decades or even a hundred years. This is an excellent opportunity for the Donghu people. If you seize it, the best result is to become the lord of China. This is the peak that no barbarians can reach in the past thousand years.

Che Chenhan never expected that this time the decline of the Han Dynasty was so short, which was really unpredictable.

When all the troops retreated to Hebei and Yanjing, bad news came that Yuguan was captured by the prefecture army. According to the defeated deserters, there were more than 200,000 prefecture troops coming to attack, which was boundless and could not resist at all.

Once Yu Pass is lost, the rear route is cut off. The government troops with more than 200,000 will not stay in the Yu Pass area, leaving tens of thousands of elite troops to guard the pass. The main force of Donghu, who is more than 100,000, should not think about breaking the pass. Yu Pass has been repaired and reinforced for two hundred years, and the front-facing attack is extremely difficult. If it were not for the fall of Yanjing before, the main force of Yu Pass returned to the army to rescue the capital, it would be absolutely impossible for the Donghu Iron Cavalry to break the pass head-on.

As soon as Yu Pass was lost, the government troops unfolded all the way, to Jinzhou, and to capture Yingzhou, and to continue to go north to control the grassland. At once, most of the retreat was cut off. If you want to go back to Liaodong, you can only take a detour of more than a thousand miles. There are probably only a few who can return to Liaodong alive.
