Sweep the World

Chapter 319: : Across the river

Sometimes what some people lack is such a trace of luck. TXT. People with good or bad luck may change their life's destiny and the course of history because of a gust of wind or a stone.

Huan Wen felt that he was extremely lucky. It was an uncommon task, and he was persistent enough to seize the opportunity. He picked up a military exploit that others could not envy, and became one of the few generals in the Han army. The title of the nobleman also rose to the doctor.

The position of partial general in the Han army’s organizational system is not low, and can even command 10,000 troops. The top is the general title of Zhonglang and some miscellaneous or special generals. Conquer generals. The four generals are up again, that is, the chariot general, the champion general, the general and the lieutenant.

At present, the Han Ministry has not yet established a nation, and quite a few positions are actually vacant. Take Xu Zheng as an example. Although he is the number one warrior in the Han army under Liu Yan, his identity is also the Zhonglang general, and the four higher ones. No one holds positions such as the town, the four campaigns, the three generals and so on.

Liu Yanhui's establishment of the country is a matter of iron and steel nails, the difference is when. Anyone knows this very well, everyone is struggling to have a high position after the country is established, so what merits are the key.

After he was awarded the official title and then knighted, Huan Wen received his direct troops, which was a 10,000-step field army.

The field troops of the Han army are the so-called main combat troops. The source of their troops is actual combat troops, but not everyone is rushing into it.

After the handover of the troops, Huan Wen was ordered to move west as the lead troops. Their marching method was infantry by boat and cavalry along the Wenshui line to Dongping County.

The Han army was dispatched after Ma Qiu died in the battle, and it was only a day apart during the period. The posture was to take advantage of Ma Qiu's death, Shi Jie Zhao Jun lost his command.

According to the report of the scouts, the Shijie Zhao Jun of Dongping County had already withdrawn that day. How many Shijie Zhao Jun will be captured by the Han army in this attack is entirely dependent on the speed of the action.

"Zhao Jun's organizational power is not strong, as long as we move fast enough, we will definitely be able to bite a big bite!" Huan Wen is still in a state of excitement: "I will take the cavalry as the forerunner, and Chang Shi will lead the infantry follow-up. superior."

Xie An naturally doesn't have any comments, but needs to be reminded: "Ma Qiu died in battle, Sun Fu will take over the command. He is also a member of the Zhao army."

Huan Wen didn't care about so much at this time. All he wanted was to reach Dongping County quickly. He just nodded when he heard that, waved his hand and led the cavalry away.

At this stage, capturing Dongping County earlier than planned, stabilizing the western front along the Juyeze, and then turning around to focus on Yao Yizhong's fight on the banks of the Yellow River is almost the theme.

What Huan Wen and Xie An didn't know was that Xu Zheng had already entered Lu County with the Han army in the direction of Xuzhou.

The Han army from Xu Zheng entered Lu County very easily, and almost took most of the territory without encountering any enemy forces. It was only along the line of Rencheng County that they fought with the Shijie Zhao army, but the fighting intensity was not strong.

Juyeze is very wide, located in the upper reaches of the Surabaya water system. It connects several surrounding counties and becomes the central hub of a huge water network.

The army that is not good at water warfare in the north has always had a headache for the terrain of Juyeze, but the army that is good at water warfare in the south will take advantage of this terrain.

The Han army is not an army in the traditional sense. For them, whether it is cavalry, foot combat, water combat, or naval combat, there is not much difference, it is nothing more than what kind of troops they put in.

Two groups of Han troops attacked westward. Considering that the Yellow River will soon be thawed, investigations along the Yellow River are also in full swing.

One thing that can be confirmed so far is that Yao Yizhong is not without the navy in his hands, but the number does not appear to be huge.

The navy in Yao Yizhong's hands was the result of Shihu's earlier gatherings of craftsmen. It was originally intended to be used in the battle of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Before it could be used, Qingzhou was occupied by Liu Yan's army.

The line to move to Fenggao was because the Ma Qiu Corps on the Western Front had to be resolved first. Ma Qiu's death would surely force Shi Jie and Zhao's army to retreat, which was tantamount to temporarily losing the threat. In that way, Liu Yan no longer needs to pay attention to matters in the west of Yanzhou, but he has to pay attention to Yao Yizhong's movements.

Liu Yan once again moved the hallway, moving the hallway to the vicinity of Dongping Mausoleum in Jinan County. This place is located in the swimming area of ​​Jishui River, and a hundred miles to the north is the Yellow River. It happens to face the Qinghe County where the Yaoyi Zhongqiang army is located. Plains County.

After the shafts were properly set up, Liu Yan led people to the north and went to check the banks of the Yellow River in person.

The Yellow River at this time does not actually appear too turbid, it should be said that the water in the Yellow River is still relatively clear. Then it is not a tongue twister. The Yellow River is not called the Yellow River, but the River.

The water of the Yellow River became extremely turbid after the serious soil erosion in the Northwest Plateau. Before that, the most turbid river water was Jingshui, and there was a record of "One stone in Jingshui, and its mud."

The Yellow River that Liu Yan saw was covered with ice **** everywhere. It may be because of the difference between the sections of the river. The billowing water did not look turbulent.

The channels of the Yellow River are wide and narrow, and in special periods, horses can even be driven directly across the riverbed. However, most of the time, if you don’t want to use a boat, you can only wait for the freezing period.

"Shijie's navy is currently on the line of the Tuma River." Sangyu seemed to feel cold with his cloak, tightening his neckline and said, "Should there be nearly a thousand boats?"

Shi Jie and Zhao Guo wanted to go south to attack the south of the Yangtze River. It was not a day or two. The time for Shihu to recruit artisans could have passed a long time ago, but he was really crazy to build boats after conspiring with Li Chenghan to carve up Jiangnan.

The previous time the Han army attacked Qijun, it was located on the south bank of the Yellow River and rescued a large number of craftsmen who were forcibly conquered by Shihu. That time it also captured nearly 300 inland watercraft, but that was only a batch built by Shijie in the late Zhao State. The boat, the previous boat, was sent to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Shihu did not let the fleet go south to the Yangtze River in history. The back of the built ships fell into the hands of Murong Yanguo who went south. After Murong Yanguo got the warship there, part of it was taken back to Youzhou, and the other part was chopped for firewood. On the contrary, he treated the craftsmen who were not tortured to death by Shijie Zhao, for the people behind Murong Yanguo. The craftsman system has been complemented.

Liu Yan asked: "How many people can they transport across the river with their capacity?"

The northern army is not good at water, but it is not difficult to cross the river by boat. The Yellow River is too long. As long as you want to always seize the opportunity to cross the river, the Han army knows where Shijie Zhao’s fleet is, but that doesn’t mean it. Able to keep an eye on it all the time.

Yao Yizhong's order was to conquer Liu Yan from Qingzhou, indicating that it would be an offensive battle, so how many people can be transported by Shijie Zhao's navy at a time becomes the key.

"I'm not sure." Sang Yu finished telling the truth and said with a smile: "The Lord meant to let the Qiang army cross the river?"

Liu Yan responded flatly: "It depends on Yao Yizhong."

The reality is that, compared with actively fighting the Yellow River, the Han army is still looking forward to Yao Yizhong's command to Shihu enough to let the Qiang army cross the river to fight, not the Han army to cross the river to attack.

But do you know whether Yao Yizhong knows the sharpness of the Han warships? I think it should be clear.

Is Yao Yizhong loyal to Shi Hu? No one knows this except Yao Yizhong himself. The traditional sphere of influence of the Qiang nationality, that is, the northwest is being ravaged by Zhang's Liang State. At this time, Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang nationality, had to lead his army to approach Qingzhou. What a tangled matter.

Liu Yan didn't know what Yao Yizhong was doing, but on the whole he could guess that the Qiang army needed enough food.

Jizhou has been a big state since the Eastern Han Dynasty, a real big state in terms of population and arable land. This point remained unchanged even during the Cao Wei and Western Jin Dynasties. Shile caused a certain degree of damage after occupying the Central Plains, but then recovered.

Shijie Zhao State is currently aggressively recruiting troops. Considering that Shijie’s national policy is to turn the Central Plains into a horse pasture, the entire Central Plains farming system has actually become extremely fragile.

Prior to this, Shihu was not only recruiting troops, but also collecting food and grass. The result was that there were large-scale escapes in various places, and those who did not escape could only commit suicide if they were unable to pay taxes.

"So we came to the conclusion that it is difficult for Yao Yizhong to collect enough grain and grass." Sang Yu just gave a lot of information about Jizhou. Who made the Sang clan have many relatives and friends in Jizhou. He said lightly: "Yao Yizhong's correct choice is to wait for Qiugao Mafei to enter the army."

It's only the first half of spring, and there will be at least half a year in the fall. For such a long period of time, if neither party has the desire to cross the river, it will become inevitable to see each other across a river that is hundreds of meters wide.

"Is it possible that Yao Yizhong will wait so long?" Lu Yi seemed to be afraid of the cold, and kept shaking when he spoke: "Autumn is half a year, which does not meet Yao Yizhong's starting point for going back to the northwest."

Sang Yu smiled and said, "Then there is a special situation, which is also the reason why the admiral moved the line to Dongpingling."

What's the meaning? It's nothing more than Yao Yizhong's surprise attack, and solve Liu Yan with the most swift and violent posture.

It's still an old routine. The last time the yoke moved forward was to attract Ma Qiu. Halfway through the whole process, Ma Qiu was killed by Huan Wen when it didn't show its proper effect. This time Liu Yan once again moved the line to relocate. It was an action with much fanfare. It is impossible to ignore Yao Yizhong's experience in fighting half a lifetime of war.

Why did Liu Yan come to the Yellow River? Isn't it also to show your sense of existence! Regardless of the fact that there are only about three thousand guards around him, the troops hidden around are not too few. If Yao Yizhong fights to cross the river with dripping ice scum, the Han army will dare to eat it happily.

"Let's take a look." Ji Chang, who had been silent, suddenly said. He pointed his finger on the other side of the Yellow River. A group of people appeared there. From a distance, they looked a little vague: "Could it be Yao Yizhong who got the news and came to check in person? "

That would be a very interesting thing, but Liu Yan deliberately planned it, but Yao Yizhong was a temporary plan, and there was an intention to induce the other party to send troops to cross the river.

"But I think too much." Liu Yan didn't mean that the person on the other side could not be Yao Yizhong, but that the ships of the Han army did not appear in the Yellow River, nor did the naval forces of the Shijie Zhao army be able to go from the horse. The river facilitates the transfer. He took the monoscope from the attendant, and saw that there were nearly a hundred people on the other side: "What does Yao Yizhong look like?"

Liu Yan asked people down with a single sentence. None of them had seen Yao Yizhong with his own eyes. Some rumors only said that Yao Yizhong's face was majestic, but there was no obvious characteristic.

In fact, Yao Yizhong was among the people who appeared on the other side. He was also looking at the other side at this moment, wondering if Liu Yan was there.

"Father?" Yao Yisheng, who was only twelve years old, was slightly confused: "Those people on the opposite side are the Han army?"

Yao Yizhong has a lot of sons, and it is impossible to show closeness one by one. The Qiang people have received too much Han culture, including a family’s concubine, and he focuses on cultivating those concubines.

In fact, Qiang is also a member of Yanhuang Miao in terms of blood lineage. The difference is that he has been away from the Central Plains culture for a long time, and is gradually assimilated by some Huren from Rong Di. Therefore, it is very depressing to distinguish ethnic groups by descent, or cultural identity is the real thing, and there should be no obvious differences in natural appearance.

Yao Yizhong still doesn't know that Ma Qiu has died in battle, let alone the fact that the Han army has moved westward in a big way. He will know whether the Han army has appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River or whether it was a deliberate movement made by Liu Yan.

There are a large number of Qiang tribes gathered along the Yellow River in Qingzhou, and new Qiang tribes are moving over all the time, and even a large number of hustle and bustles also follow the movement, which is a good thing and a bad thing for Yao Yizhong.

Yao Yizhong may have a certain degree of loyalty to Shihu, or it is not clear that the old lair was being raged by Zhang's Liangguo~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or someone advised Shihu to give birth to fear and is still preparing to conquer Qingzhou with great fanfare.

The fact is that, Shihu did it too obvious, almost plainly showing fear of the growth of the Qiang and Di tribes, but both Yao Yizhong and Fuhong were resigned and submissive. In some ways, the reaction of Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong was also one of the reasons that made Shihu more crazy.

"It's the Han army." Yao Yizhong can't really see it at all, he can only see a vague figure. He squinted his eyes and said softly: "Only when they are eliminated can we have a chance to return to the northwest."

Perhaps Liu Yan's performance was too obvious. Yao Yizhong knew what was going on at the moment when the Han army appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River.

For Yao Yizhong, the emergence of the Han army is a trouble. Everything depends on Shihu, not from the actual pressure of the Han army. It is equivalent to Liu Yan putting out a battle. No action by Yao Yizhong is bound to cause Shihu, who was far away in Yecheng, made new moves when he learned about it.

Yao Yizhong on the north bank of the Yellow River said: "It's terrible."

Liu Yan on the southern bank of the Yellow River said: "It's very interesting." (To be continued.)
