Royal Road

Since May, all counties in Binzhou have been busy. Summer harvest is the top priority. After harvesting the wheat, there are summer seeds. During the busy farming season, men, women and children have to work in the fields to prevent rain and locusts, and dare not delay for a while.

However, in the governor's mansion, what is most concerned about is not farming, but the nearby Youzhou.

Since Xianbei soldiers entered Jizhou, the situation has become tense. As the gangsters were cleared one by one, the Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang and other countries in the north of Jizhou successively fell into Wang Jun's hands. In particular, Changshan Kingdom's different hands have opened up the road from Jizhou to Bingzhou. As long as Wang Jun is interested, he can immediately send his troops south and invade Bingzhou.

Will Wang Jun fight the merged state? of course! When the two captains had already turned against their goals, the war was only a matter of time.

And this time, unexpectedly came faster than expected. The news of the war between Sima Yue and Gou Xi, like an owl with wings spread, flew into Jinyang instantly.

"Wang Pengzu is going to send troops." Zhang Bin said.

This is the best opportunity to send troops. Sima Yue all rebelled against their relatives, and the clones lacked skills, and the imperial court's dominance would inevitably decline further. At this time, when he came to attack Bingzhou, no one dared to intervene. When Sima Yue finished handling the rebellion, he might not be able to punish the two captains who fought with each other, so he could only push the boat along the water and let the victor take control of each other's territory.

With such a good opportunity, do you want to help Sima Yue beat Gou Xi if you don't beat Bingzhou?

"If Wang Pengzu invades the hinterland of Bingzhou, big and small families, I am afraid that chaos will arise." On the side, Sun Li said solemnly, "This battle must be limited to Leping!"

Sun Lidang took a long time to merge with the prefecture, but he was formally put under Liang Feng's door after the Tuntian Order was issued. A revised order for farming farms has caused a lot of trouble in Bingzhou, and the number of escaped slaves alone is no less than 10,000. It was Sun Li who was born in a gentry but relatively poor new class of government officials that made the most effective use of the Tuntian Order.

Not every family has countless acres of villas. In fact, many noble clans, especially those of high clans, had no titles but no assets, and they were not even comparable to some wealthy ordinary clans. How to raise slaves without money? So when the big and small tycoons swallowed the hidden households, they could only stare at them, and couldn't share any benefits.

However, these people have no money, but have just obtained rights through the appointment of the governor. Sun Li offered advice and rewarded officials by approving the number of land reclamation and the number of troops stationed in each county. He knows better than anyone that the attachment of this emerging class has also used this mentality to the extreme.

Once this trick was used, the decree was well understood, and it was simply astonishing. One is the new bureaucrats who want political achievements, and the other is the suffering people who want to survive. Can you just hit it off? However, this will certainly offend a large number of gentry. Sun Li's position also changed. With the addition of Sun Li, Bingzhou Provincial Governor's House has completely become Liang Feng's private team.

Sun Li's words made Zhang Bin nod slightly: "Wang Jun was born in the Wang clan of Taiyuan. If he wins a few games in the battle, Taiyuan is afraid that it will change. The intention of the king of this war, Pengzu, is probably not to annex, but to put pressure. It is best. Capture Leping, and then attack Xinxing and Yanmen counties. In this way, Youzhou and Bingzhou can be connected together. In this way, it will be able to overwhelm Sizhou. In addition to the great chaos in Taiyuan, Shangdang is the foundation of the lord. He is afraid that he would be more willing to push the lord back to the Shangdang and face the Huns alone."

The most important thing in a war is the combat intention. Especially the war between states and counties of this scale. What does Wang Jun want? It is nothing more than the location and population, and the coveting of Luoyang City. In fact, this contradiction has already appeared after the sudden emergence of Bingzhou.

Before the Great Wilderness of the merged state was hit by war and chaos, most of the population migrated to Youzhou, which provided Wang Jun with a lot of manpower and gave birth to his ambition to fight for hegemony. But Bingzhou gradually calmed down, and there was a Buddha's name hanging on the front, and the refugees immediately turned their directions. This is not a two-person problem. What kind of absorbing capacity can it swallow 30,000 or 40,000 refugees in one year? In addition to the dispute over generations of counties, the two counties of Pingshu and Guangchang, which belong to Youzhou, also experienced population backflows. How could Wang Jun let him develop?

Therefore, at the moment when the lord refused to cooperate, Binzhou became a stumbling block that must be kicked away!

In the face of this situation, what is the goal that the lord seeks?

"From Changshan State to Jingxing State, you can reach Leping State. The first line of defense should be in Shangai. Then Leping and Zhanxian counties are buffered. The Shangdang and Taiyuan principles are waiting for Chen's soldiers. In this war, the early stage should be the main defense. Lure the enemy deeper. When the enemy is tired and the mud feet are sinking, he will order General Yi to send troops from Jizhou to attack his stomach and back! This battle is a great opportunity to rise to power, but also to annex Jizhou and push Youyan!" Zhang Bin did not Hesitated and said the answer.

Liang Feng needs a big battle more than Wang Jun!

The rise of Binzhou is only a matter of one or two years. Although he repelled the Xiongnu several times and turned the tide, he also recovered the Xinxing and Yanmen counties. But most people didn't really take this dilapidated place, and even Gaomen escaped from a clean and dilapidated place. That's why the imperial court dared to point fingers at Bingzhou's personnel arrangements over and over again, and those Bingzhou nobles who were motivated by the farming order did not necessarily have the thoughts of being stupid.

Once Youzhou's soldiers and horses win, without even approaching Taiyuan, the big and small gentry will have to change their minds. It is obviously more in line with the interests of the gentry to let a native Bingzhou high gate to govern the state.

And what if Liang Feng wins? After winning, Sima Yue didn't dare to touch, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry with one hundred thousand soldiers? Those aristocratic families will immediately become domestic dogs, surrendering to Liang Feng's feet. Sima Yue would also look at this rising Bingzhou again, and give him a similar treatment to Wang Jun, or even further treatment.

This battle is the ultimate battle related to the survival of the state!

How could Liang Feng know the meaning of this battle? Nodding slightly, he asked, "How many soldiers and state soldiers are there now?"

"There are close to 40,000 troops, 20,000 state soldiers, and 20,000 Shangdang county soldiers. A total of 80,000 horses." Duan Qin replied quickly.

The sudden increase in the army is still the role played by the farming orders. However, a small percentage of them have just finished their drills and have not yet been on the battlefield, so they are not suitable for an important battle. The state soldiers belonged to the imperial generals of Linghu Sheng. The most important thing is the Shangdang county soldiers. These are all the elites brought out by Yi Yan, Zhang He, Sun Jiao and others. They can be regarded as the extension of Liang's family trilogy. They are completely loyal to Liang Feng himself and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

"To transfer the county soldiers into Leping country, Linghu Kuang and Tian Xun each led 10,000 state soldiers, and 10,000 troops to assist in defense. The remaining soldiers and horses will stick to the Shangdang and Taiyuan places to guard against the Huns' sneak attack."

It's not enough to fight Youzhou, and you must also beware of the Xiongnu Han State sneak attack behind you. However, the Shangdang city defense system has been reinforced for two years, and no one can break it long ago.

This is 40,000 strong soldiers. How many men will Wang Jun send to attack Binzhou?

Liang Feng clenched his fists slightly: "This battle is promised but not lost. It's also time to try to join forces with the state!"

One side is fierce, and the other is sharpening the knife. It's like a huge millstone, churning along the Taihang Mountains. Half a month later, 80,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Changshan County, crossed the narrow Jingxing, and entered the territory of Bingzhou.

All Xingdao have two entrances and exits. Wang Jun took the Changshan Kingdom and naturally occupied the entrance of Jingxing, but the exit should still be in the hands of the Bingzhou Army.

This time, Wang Chang, the leader of the army, thought he was going to fight a battle in the Xingdao, and he even made a lot of preparations in advance. Unexpectedly, he didn't encounter half of the enemy soldiers.

"It seems that Bingzhou is afraid of our army's might." Immediately, he twirled his beard.

In this attack on the state, the governor did his best. Not only sent half of Jicheng soldiers and horses, but also drew 30,000 fine horses from Jizhou. With so many soldiers and horses, plus Fan Yang's civil service, the external title of 100,000 troops is a conservative figure. It was only half of the army that year, it swept the city of Yecheng, broke through Chang'an, and a small country in Leping, what is it?

"Let's pass on the order and attack first! Duan Shizi, this time I am afraid you want your team to be a striker." Wang Chang smiled at the Xianbei man in bright armor next to him.

Duan Ji Lu Jun is the son of Wang Jun's cheap son-in-law, Duan Wuwuchen, and a strong general in the Xianbei army. This time Xianbei Iron Horse was led by him and his younger brother Duan Wenyang. It can be seen that Wang Jun attached great importance to the Battle of Bingzhou.

Looking at the not-so-tall city wall in front of him, Duan Jilu nodded: "Guardian, don't worry, this city is no more than a palm, and it's easy to capture it."

In fact, Duan Ji and Lu Juan didn't pay much attention to Bingzhou. At the beginning, Yecheng was like paper, and it was broken in one day. After that, Chang'an could be won in only three or five days. Xianbei soldiers and horses crossed the Jin Kingdom, and they have never encountered an opponent. He was deeply ashamed of the failure to attack Daijun before, and he also saw the fierce fighting power of the Tuoba Ministry. It can be inferred from this that when Bingzhou defeated Baibu Xianbei and repelled the Hun Dynasty, it was impossible for the Xianbei people to help. How much can such a soldier and horse be better than the ordinary Jin army?

The abandonment of Jingxing is even more evident. In front of the Xianbei army, they didn't even guard the best guard, and they were so courageous!

However, even with contempt, Duan Ji Lujuan has never been sloppy in using troops. It was still waiting for the army to come out of Xingdao, and after setting up a camp and resting, only then did Ai command Duan Mozhu up 20,000 people and set off to Shangai.

Shangai is a city next to Jingxing. Just like Shangdang Huguan, it can be used as a soldier’s village. However, unexpectedly, the gate of this city was not closed, and there was a barracks under the city wall. Why don't these Union State soldiers hide in the city to defend like others? Do you want to compete with them in the field?

There was a sneer on his lips, Duan Mozhen waved his hand and said coldly: "Array, defeat that barracks for me!"
