Sweep the World

Chapter 312: :Moving forward

The entire East China Sea has actually become a footbath for the Han Dynasty. After Murong Yanguo no longer pays attention to Liao 1 Dong and Chao 1 Sun Peninsula, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla actually all rely on Liu Yan's breath.

It may not be easy for Liu Yan to completely conquer the Korean Peninsula, but it is not difficult to conquer. In fact, he is also gaining the status of hegemony in the North Korean Peninsula, and has taken control of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla to some extent.

Gaga is a tribal alliance and cannot be counted as a country. This tribal alliance is formed by the joint formation of six relatively large tribes. The source of the population is very complicated. The upper class is Fuyu and Quwo, the middle class should be dominated by Japanese, and the lowest is Mahan, Chenhan, and Bian. Three races of Han.

The real situation is that the mainstream ethnic group on the Korean Peninsula and the Wa Islands are the Fuyu people. They have been the upper echelons for a long time, including the Goguryeo people who are actually the backbone of the ruling power.

The Fuyu people will become the ruling people of the Korean peninsula and even the Japanese islands. They would also like to thank the former emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty. It was Liu Che who destroyed Weiman Korea, the force of the Central Plains migrating past, and caused a certain degree of "vacuum" in the Northeast Region and the Korean Peninsula.

The Western Han Dynasty established Lelang County, Xuantu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County over there, but did not invest much energy in construction or development, and adopted a policy of restraint.

What is a restraint policy? It is to support local aboriginal families loyal to the central government. After canonization, they promise hereditary official positions and grant a certain degree of autonomy. It was precisely because of the policy of Jilinzhou that the ancestors of Goguryeo took a breather, and then Goguryeo continued to grow, and it was only because of the hegemony of Liaodong at the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Murong Xianbei cleaned up the surrounding areas of Liao 1 East and broke the original situation. Goguryeo was directly beaten to a slump. The Fuyu Kingdom almost collapsed and separated, but the strong rise of Baekje gave the Han Dynasty a foothold on the Korean Peninsula.

The benefits that Silla gained from the turmoil of the Korean Peninsula this time were limited. They expanded northward for dozens of miles, but the loss of the Silla army was not small.

Later, Liu Yan hired a country on the Korean Peninsula. If Goguryeo was forced to submit, Baekje was purely driven by profit, and Silla had to keep up.

If Silla didn't say that, Liu Yan would have dared to send troops across Baekje's borders, and even unite with Baekje to destroy Silla. After all, Baekje's coveting for Silla is no longer a day or two.

"Gaya, Kyushu, and Izumo should be instigated by Baekje." Lu Yi said this for an absolute reason: "The Queen of Silla clearly mentions this in her credential."

"Because we returned to the Central Plains, our military strength on the peninsula dropped to the lowest level in history. It was unexpected that Baekje could not suppress it." Ji Chang glanced at everyone and said, "We had anticipated this a long time ago."

If it is said that this time the reform of the Korean Peninsula will make the most profit, except for the outsiders of the Han Dynasty, the most profitable is Baekje.

Murong Yanguo knocked Goguryeo with a stick, and Baekje dared to expand northward for nearly a hundred miles. If there was no Han Dynasty, they could even hit Ma Jishui (Yalu River).

When a country reaches its peak of expansion, its spirits are at its highest, and its military’s ambition to expand outwards will be extremely strong. If it weren’t for the Han tribe over there, Baekje wouldn’t have instigated Gaga, Kyushu, and Izumo. Will be on the court himself.

"We can't send troops to the peninsula at this stage?" Lu Yi said with a somewhat ugly expression: "It is estimated that Baekje will act upon this idea by spying on this."

Liu Yan recruited mercenaries on the Korean Peninsula, but Baekje nobles came to the Central Plains in person, but those Baekje nobles with some brains would definitely see one thing, that is, the Central Plains war is inevitable.

Since the Han army would fight against Shijie and Zhao in the Central Plains, it seemed normal that Baekje could not hold back.

Baekje instructing others to go is just a temptation. If Liu Yan is indifferent, he will definitely play on his own. No matter whether Silla can withstand the invasion, the status of Han Bu on the Korean Peninsula will definitely decline.

"Queen Silla proclaimed her minister in the credential. This is the first country on the peninsula to officially proclaim to us." Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan with a wry smile, and said, "My lord, we can't be indifferent."

Recruiting younger brothers is something that Huaxia Civilization loves to do. While the emperor has a lot of face, increasing the national prestige is part of it, and the other is to boost the morale of the nation's military and people.

That was the first foreign race to call Liu Yan a minister. It had a high political significance, and then it was related to the future policy on the Korean Peninsula. Inaction is absolutely impossible.

"Baekje can recruit about 170,000 troops for national mobilization. How many troops should we...send?" Lu Tai was very depressed. If he sends troops to the Korean Peninsula, is there someone more suitable than him? He really didn't want to go back to the 1xian peninsula, and was very eager to stay in the Central Plains to fight.

"Baekje's national mobilization?" Ji Chang was a little surprised: "What we need is to be shocked again, we just need to show our attitude."

To tell the truth, Baekje’s army’s combat effectiveness is not bad, or it would have been fighting against Goguryeo before, and being able to bully Silla. They have just carried out a major expansion. It should be the time when the morale of the army is at its highest, and it is quite difficult to frighten them again.

"Taian." Liu Yan probably guessed what Ji Chang wanted to do, and asked, "Joint Goguryeo and Silla?"

Ji Chang said with a grim look: "My lord, our navy is currently only serving as **** and transportation. Since Baekje gathers Gama, Izumo, and Kyushu, then we don’t necessarily need to directly act on Baekje. We can choose Gama and export. One of Yun and Kyushu will be wiped out!"

The power of the Han Navy is undoubtedly strong. Small countries such as Gaga, Izumo, and Kyushu do not need to send many troops. They can be attacked directly with a command of 10,000 troops, and will not have too much influence on the battles of the Han in the Central Plains.

"Since Baekje wants to test, it's as Taean said." Liu Yan is actually annoyed: "After choosing one of the attacks, he will send people to Baekje to request an increase in the number of mercenaries!"

Lu Yi stood up and said, "No!"

Liu Yan looked at Lu Tai and said, "Heng'an will be the leader of this battle."

Lu Tai's heart was both bitter and excited. In short, it was very complicated. He also stood up and said, "No!"

Gaga, Izumo, and Kyushu are all small countries, but isn’t it a country no matter how small it is? It is an honor for a warrior to be able to destroy a country, that is... Lu Tai feels like being marginalized has become a habit?

The issue on the Korean peninsula has come to an end. What really matters is the Central Plains.

The mansion where Liu Yan is located has not been expanded because it is not necessary at all. They have already begun to expand beyond Qingzhou, and the location of the center has not been confirmed at all. What is the purpose of building the palace.

In fact, after Liu Yan expressed his disobedience, the next step of the Han Dynasty's further expansion has become inevitable. No one would think that the Xia Mi Hui is a good place for the center of a country. It depends on where it will become the capital after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The actual situation.

Without confirming the location of the capital, Liu Yan is not the kind of enjoyment...for the time being, he is not eligible for enjoyment, so in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, building palaces is a waste of money, and there is not so much labor to waste.

After deciding to conquer the entire Xuzhou, the main force of the Han army has begun to move towards Pengcheng.

Pengcheng has been attacked by the Han army several times before, but at that time it was mainly for training. Basically, Pengcheng was left without a large-scale attack. The rest of Pengcheng County has not been swept many times.

The main force of the Han army once again sent troops to Pengcheng. Unexpected things happened. It was Wang Ji, Wang Luan, and the Guo clan, as well as the other generals and civil servants. They learned that the Han army was coming again, without saying anything. Taking Shi Zun to abandon Pengcheng, he chose to retreat to Yuzhou.

Originally, Yu Yi wanted to watch a grand battle, but when he came to Pengcheng, he found that the banners of the Han army were already floating above the castle tower. This situation caused the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including him, to be stunned after a bitter smile.

The cavalry of the Han army would naturally not allow Shi Zun and others to leave safely, chasing all the way until the slow running Shi Jie Zhao Jun was intercepted on the edge of Sui Shui, because Shi Zun and those important figures all crossed the river and were caught. Those who are left are forced to surrender very easily.

It was the eve of the Winter Solstice Festival, the battle report was sent back to the next secret, officially confirming that all Xuzhou belonged to the Han Tribe, and at this time Liu Yan had actually moved to Taishan County.

The place where Liu Yan stayed is called Fenggao, about forty miles away from Mount Tai, with the lower reaches of Wenshui River on the edge.

Because of the previous fire, in fact, Fenggao, including its surroundings, is a scene of white land. If you go to the wild, you can’t even see the remaining woods. Some are just pieces of land that were burned bare. It shows how big the fire was at that time. .

Mount Tai is actually a mountain range. Thanks to the separation of Wenshui, only one of the five sacred mountains of Mount Tai was affected by the fire at that time, and the remaining four mountains were unharmed.

Fenggao is currently a ruined wall, and it is not suitable as a place for a large army to camp. The army is camped on the edge of the dilapidated city, on the edge of Wenshui.

As the leader, Liu Yan moved westward to the front line, indicating that the Han army's next main force will be in the direction of Yanzhou, and Jiang Gan is happiest at this point.

The envoy of Murong Yanguo who participated in the alliance has returned, and Yu Yi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty envoy has stayed in his personal capacity. The whole class stayed in the Qin State of Ran and the Liang State of Zhang.

Jiang Gan and Xie Ai, they only followed to Taishan County with some entourage, and the rest of the envoy was left in Xia Mi City.

"After the main force of the Han army fought in Xuzhou, they returned to the next secret retreat." Xie Ai glanced at Liu Yan not far away, then looked at the surrounding white snow, and rubbed his hands with a breath of heat, and said, "The main force of the Han army. There is no definitive figure on how things will happen without coming forward."

Jiang Gan certainly knew this, but he insisted that since Liu Yan moved to Taishan County, there must be the next move.

By the way, whether it was Jiang Gan or Xie Ai, they didn't know that the Han army had begun to infiltrate the direction of Yanzhou before, but they only knew that the Han army's movements were very frequent.

There is a mountain not far from Fenggao, its name is Guishan, which is on the north bank of Wenshui.

At this time, Liu Yan was looking at Guishan from a distance, while the other people next to him were looking at the frozen Wenshui.

Winter is really not a good season for combat, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the lack of supplies. The number of Han troops who came to Fenggao was not too many, just eight thousand imperial guards and the remaining troops less than twenty thousand. Only a small part of the cavalry in these troops, after all, Taishan County here is mountainous terrain, it is pure waste to come to the cavalry.

"We haven't concealed our whereabouts, Shihu must have known it." Huan Wen seemed to be more afraid of the cold, with good warm clothing and a fur cloak, but he still looked shrinking and shrunken: "Just as courageous as you are. , Even if it can't attract Zhao Jun's aggressive attack, there should be some gains."

Those who got together with Huan Wen were some people from the south of the Yangtze River. His old partner Yuan Qiao was left in Changguang County. Some people who came to work for Liu Yan were vaguely based on Huan Wen as the core. A small circle.

Seriously speaking, there is no shortage of talents in the south of the Yangtze River, at least those who come to the Han Dynasty can be regarded as people who can do things. After they came, they divided into two factions on their own. Some of the descendants of aristocratic families approached Huan Wen, and the other part of the local heroes and poor families approached Lu Yi.

For those people south of the Yangtze River who like to form gangs, Ji Chang is a vigilant attitude, but he can’t handle it. It is not allowed to cause harm.

There are many counties connected to Taishan County. To the north are Jinan County and Zhua County, to the south are Lu County, Langye County and Rencheng County, to the west are Dongping County and Jibei County, and to the north are Dongan County and Dongguan County. .

In terms of strategic position ~lightnovelpub.net~ Except that the mountainous terrain is not suitable as an administrative center, whoever obtains Taishan County means that it can build a military defense chain based on the mountainous terrain.

Liu Yan's intention to enter Taishan County was almost to fight for strategic points. After all, Hu people don't like mountain warfare, but the Chinese civilized army likes it.

If Taishan County is captured and Pengcheng County is also in hand, the Han army will become a double pliers offensive.

The initiative is very important for Liu Yan. As for Jiang Qian, as long as he has the opportunity, he will talk about the benefits of pushing the Shijie center into the country. Wu Guang’s example is the first. Whoever has a brain disease will do this.

Yes, Ji Chang couldn't help but gave Jiang Gan a history lesson. He was talking about the old example of Wu Guang's solitary army being deeply annihilated during the turbulent times of the late Qin Dynasty. Xie Ai, who was present at that time, had a wonderful expression, Jiang Gan was directly choked and his face was blackened to the bottom of the pot.

"We have set our own chess game, and we think it is the most suitable position." Liu Yan once again summoned everyone to the Central Army's big account, and said very relaxedly: "The next step is to wait for the dice to be thrown."

Well! ? No one knew Caesar so much that no one understood what Liu Yan was talking about. (To be continued.)
