Sweep the World

If "Tianxia" is used as a chessboard, then various countries and forces will occupy some territory on the chessboard, and one after another they will place their own chess pieces, or prepare to make the first move, perhaps waiting for a counterattack.

Shijie Zhao Kingdom is still a giant, Shihu holds the most territory and population, and they occupy the center of the chessboard.

To the west and northwest of the chessboard are Ran’s Qin State and Zhang’s Liang State. Among them, not many people in Ran’s Qin State really consider it to be a country, but Zhang’s Liang State is a veteran force.

The tribes of the Huns still occupy the Heshuo area. The Tuoba Dai Kingdom is next to the Huns, and the Tuoba Dai Kingdom has just been taught by Murong Yan from the northeast direction.

In the east and southeast, the Han tribe occupied Qingzhou and Xuzhou. If you carefully judge the situation, the Han tribe’s popularity in the past two years is not small, because the rise time is too short and may not be taken seriously. Shi Jie Zhao Guoshi As soon as the army was wiped out. Others, such as Murong Yanguo and Dongjin Xiao~Imperial~Ting, also looked at it the same way before, and only when they went to see the strength of the Han army in person later did they really take it seriously.

The small ~chao~Tingwo of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who had the name Zhengshuo, were located south of the Yangtze River. They were not actually looked down upon by Shijie and Zhao, they should be regarded as strong enemies. After all, the number of times Shi Jie Zhao Jun fought with the Eastern Jin Jin Army was not too small. Although the Jin Army was repeatedly defeated in battles, but the Eastern Jin Xiao ~ imperial ~ court had not survived, but could have repeatedly crossed the river to fight.

Shijie Zhao Guo is a fierce tiger, but a pack of wolves peeping around. Shi Hu suffered continuous disadvantages, and it was only strange that his hot character did not jump like thunder.

As far as Shihu is concerned, local rebellion is actually nothing. Shijie’s self-reliance started with a situation where local rebellions and riots were unstoppable. Later, a "national autonomy" was established, which made Shijie Zhao a country in name. In fact, it is a variant version of tribes and tribal alliances.

To paraphrase an old saying, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle". The busy winter of all parties quickly passes, the first spring breeze blows the earth, and when the green buds of grass burst out of the ground, as the temperature rises," The world became restless again.

"According to the scout investigation, Zhu'a County and Dongping County have successively found the enemy's tracks." Ji Chang holding a small and long wooden stick in his hand, lighted the map of the mountains and rivers: "It can be confirmed that the enemy is in Zhu's direction. The army is the Qiang army, and the enemy army in the direction of Dongping County is a multi-ethnic coalition."

Qiang army? Then Yao Yizhong is finally here!

It was said that it was in the direction of Zhu'a County, but in fact the Qiang army stopped at the Qinghe County, Pingyuan County, and Yangping County on the other side of the Yellow River. It will be scattered so widely. It can be seen that the Qiang army is dominated by cavalry. There are mostly plain terrain. However, there are many herd and horses brought by the Qiang army. Of course, they cannot all be gathered in one place. What they need is to be distributed more widely. The livestock and horses collect enough fodder, and then the cavalry has not always marched in groups.

"I can't figure out the exact number for the time being. Should it be around 200,000?" Sang Yu touched his chin and said, "Yao Yizhong is the leader of the Qiang ethnic group. Wouldn't he just bring such a handful of people?"

The Qiang ethnic group is currently a huge ethnic group. In fact, their number in the East has surpassed the Han Hmong to become the current number one, that is, the Qiang and the familiar Qiang are divided into them. Shengqiang generally lives in the northwest and plateaus, including basins around the plateau. Familiar with Qiang basically entered the Central Plains, only leaving a part of the leadership group in Guanzhong and the northwest as the leading group for the growth of Qiang.

The truth is that the Qiang nationality has never been a unified collective, or even a nation. They are simply distributed and scattered, but they have similar living habits, and their language, beliefs, and culture have never been unified.

As the new Qiang leader, Yao Yizhong cannot drive all Qiang people, just as Shihu is the ruler of Shijie Zhao but cannot command everyone.

"We estimate that 200,000 will not be the limit of Yao Yizhong's strength, and the final number will not be less than 400,000." Sang Yu didn't want to scare anyone at all. The source of the Hu people has always been complicated, and they are usually based on their own clan. Then arbitrarily gather husks as cannon fodder: "The intelligence shows that the Qiang people are indeed arbitrarily gathering manpower on the north bank of the Yellow River. As long as they have enough food, it will not be surprising that they can make up a 500,000 army."

"It's just that there are more people, what's the fighting power... hehe." Liu Yan has long been used to hearing that the Hu people have hundreds of thousands of troops, but I really don't know if they can account for 30% of them: "Yao Yizhong is eager to defeat us soon, so that he can go back to the northwest to repel Zhang Liangjun?"

The northwest is the basic plate of the Qiang ethnic group. This is almost universally known. There are only 20,000 Zhang’s Liang army raging in the northwest. However, the stone tiger made Yao Yizhong gather the Qiang army to fight in Qingzhou. It is estimated that there are some worthy of further investigation. The place.

Guanzhong is the basic board of the Di ethnic group. Ran Minjun easily captured Guanzhong. Regardless of Shihu’s current appearance, the loss of Guanzhong only left Shijie Zhao’s territory missing. In fact, his vitality was greatly injured. It is Fu Hong and other Di people.

The Qiang and Di are the two major fighters under the Jie tribe. There are a large number of the Qiang and the Di is sincerely united. In recent years, the number of the Jie has increased, but an upside-down situation is also taking place. Who can be sure that Shihu is not caused by it. What is the current situation? It is to make the Qiang and Di people suffer heavy losses.

"Is there a place to operate?" Liu Yan was talking about separation. He said: "The world is in chaos, and Shijie's strength has not been lost much. Presumably both Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong can see this."

"The Qiang people may be able to operate, but Fu Hong is difficult." Ji Chang said clearly: "Since King Qin has occupied Guanzhong, how can it be possible to let him out again. What Fuhong wants is to occupy Guanzhong again."

Liu Yancai didn’t have time to manage Ran’s Qin State. After all, Ran Min had Tongguan, Xiaoguan, and Lantian Pass as barriers. The Li family in the south did not make trouble, and Zhang’s Liang State in the west did not abandon the covenant. Ran Min’s little life Suffering will be a little bitter, but generally it is worry-free.

In the era when everyone hoped that others would block guns for themselves, Ran's Qin State wanted to pull the Han Tribe as a shield. Didn't Liu Yan and others think that Ran's Qin State Council, who had the danger of three barriers, was a good shield?

The reality is that Liu Yan himself finds it difficult to swallow the Central Plains, and Murong Xianbei is about to go south, so the current expansion is just preparing for the future layout.

Maybe, just maybe..., several forces attacking Shijie Zhao Kingdom will really destroy Shijie, but the next does not mean that peace will come. It is estimated that it will be a more complicated situation in the world.

Facing the situation of separatism, Liu Yandacong from his heart that it would not be a bad thing for the Chinese Miao to have more power. After all, it would be relatively convenient for the same ethnic group to communicate, and then a real "Three Kings Alliance" would be formed. After the Central Plains drive out, another gentleman's battle will be the best choice.

"The Yellow River and other water systems are already thawing. After waiting for the complete thawing, the ship will be able to drive into the Yellow River." Liu Yan stared in the direction of Dongping County and asked, "What is the situation there?"

"It is reported that the commander of Shijie Zhao in Dongping County is Ma Qiu." Sang Yu briefly introduced Ma Qiu's information, followed by the introduction of troops: "At present, there should be about 60,000 troops. The Jie Ren coming this time The number is far more than any one before, it should be about 30,000."

Ma Qiu is a famous general in the Jie clan, but this famous general has a lot of water, and his life history can be briefly summarized by repeated battles and defeats. The worst fiasco so far occurred in the battle between Shijie Zhao Kingdom and Murong Yan Kingdom a few years ago. It was when Ma Qiu led tens of thousands of troops and met Murong Ke’s 7,000 elite ambushes. Ma Qiu led only tens of thousands of people. Thousands were able to escape, and the rest were killed.

"Jie people are fierce, you need to be cautious." Sang Yu reminded him for no reason. He said: "Shihu cherishes his tribe. He seldom mobilizes Jie people in several battles. Several times defeated Jie people almost without loss. The second Maqiu brought thirty thousand, which shows Shihu's attitude."

It is said that Shijie and Zhao Kingdom will inevitably have cautious preparations, so this war the Han army should not be as easy as before.

Liu Yan did not underestimate the Jie people. For any ethnic group in the Central Plains, the Jie people who love cannibalism are synonymous with cruelty. Many ethnicities encounter the Shang Jie people because they have the mentality of softening their legs before starting a war. The Han army He hasn't fought against the Jie clan in a real sense, and it is difficult to judge what will happen.

According to popular explanations, the Jie tribe is currently a race with its own special bonus halo. The stray beards are naturally afraid and obedient. The rest of the races also feel that the Jie tribe is very strong and powerful. Most of the Han army are. There is a group that has been brutally ruled by the Jie clan, it is really hard to say whether there is a sense of fear in the heart.

In the face of fear, it is either to overcome fear and become stronger, or to be overwhelmed by fear and become weak. Liu Yan knows this incomparably.

"There will be a few rainy seasons after the beginning of spring, and there will be gaps in between." Sang Yu thought for a while, and said: "We have been infiltrating the surrounding areas throughout the winter. It won’t happen by accident."

Ji Chang nodded and said, "Yao Yizhong is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is frozen or suitable for swimming. When it is full of ice scum, it is impossible to cross the river."

Liu Yan listened in great detail, and he nodded and said: "Then the interval between the rainy seasons is a war opportunity."

The total number of Han troops in Liu Yan's barracks is 28,000, but only 12,000 can be regarded as the main force, and the rest are at the level of auxiliary troops.

There are 55,000 Han troops in Taishan County, including 13,000 mercenaries coming to the 1st peninsula. This unit has hidden its whereabouts in front, and as Liu Yan moves forward, the need to lose its hiding has been largely exposed.

"Since Ma Qiu moved the troops forward to Dong'an County, he must have the desire to attack." Ji Chang had been silent just now. He glanced back and forth between Dong'an County and the north bank of the Yellow River, and he hesitated: "The previous time Ma Qiu was with Murong Xianbei. He was defeated in World War I and was dismissed by Shihu, and his title was also cut off. Since he appeared in Dong'an County, he should have been appointed again recently."

In fact, history has changed again here. Ma Qiu was appointed again as an official position as the governor of Liangzhou and was assigned to attack Zhang’s Liang Country. Ma Qiu is now in Yanzhou.

Liu Yan asked: "Taian meant to seize Ma Qiu's eagerness to contribute?"

As a counselor, he likes to play with and manipulate people's minds. The layout of the war is based on the people's minds. What is important is to understand the character of the enemy's commander. Once he encounters an unfamiliar enemy, he will be a little blinded.

Spring is the best place to do something meaningful, such as sending a small number of troops to provoke Ma Qiu?

The former name of Dongping County was Dahe County, and it was first established in the second year of Ganlu in the Western Han Dynasty (52 BC), when the reigning Emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bingye (Liu Xun). Dahe County was changed to Dongping because of Liu's clan family members, which means it became a feudal state.

By the time Wang Mang's usurpation of power led to the uprisings, Dongping State had actually been abolished, and then it was returned to Yanzhou directly under the jurisdiction. The reason it will become the state capital is that Dongping has always been a place rich in salt and iron.

At the time of Cao Wei, Dongping re-established a feudal state. The difference was that those who belonged to the country became the clan of Cao Wei. What was more pitted was that the Sima clan usurped the throne soon, and Dongping was abolished again, and it became Dongping County again.

Liu Yan sent troops to stimulate Maqiu, and he needed to pass through Jibei County before arriving at Dongping County's jurisdiction. Another option is to take a turn from Lu County and enter Dongping County, but the distance is a bit far away. The difference is that you can use the river system of Surabaya to directly penetrate into Daze (that is, Juyeze).

The place where Ma Qiu stopped was of course the capital of a county, which was a salt-free city. He has been asking his deputy Sun Fudu about Liu Yan for some time, including what kind of tribe the Han tribe is, the composition of the Han army, its organization, weapons, armor, etc..., showing the military The quality is actually not low, and Liu Yan is not seen to be underestimated.

Having said that, Ma Qiu certainly can't despise Liu Yan. After all, it took four years to build from nothing and win many battles. How stupid is his brain to still despise Liu Yan?

Sun Fudu had already competed with the Han army last time. In fact, he felt that he had been defeated quite uselessly.

I was not convinced and wanted to find a place~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which led Sun Fudu to collect all the information about Liu Yan very carefully. What impressed him most was the unreasonable weaponry under Liu Yan’s command. The sophisticated.

"Although it looks luxurious, the Han army is not a flashy army like the Jin army, at least the Han army is very stable in fighting, even if it encounters setbacks, it will not shake the army." Sun Fu saw Ma Qiu's expression a little strange, not No explanation: "Military owner, it was because he was defeated once that he deliberately improved the combat power of the Han army to add face to himself."

Ma Qiu still attached great importance to this time leading the army, nodded when he heard the words, but his eyes were a little erratic...

……split line……

It must be explained that the reason for the lack of updates recently is that honor has been in the patient state.

Then, the weather was really weird and the air was abnormally bad, causing the two children to cough and vomit first, and then simply cough and fever repeatedly, and had to take care of the children.

So please forgive me personally, I feel that being able to keep a record of continuous updating is already quite remarkable! (To be continued.)
