Zheng Zhuang, who successfully took over as Jing Zhaoyin, was busy expanding the second phase of the new city near Epang Palace.
Ning Cheng was the magistrate of Chang'an County, but his job was to populate the new city as quickly as possible.
A city without people is a ghost town and has no meaning in existence.
For Ning Cheng, the most convenient way is to relocate the people from the tombs around Chang'an City to the new city, but Li Yunze is not allowed to move by force and can only do it voluntarily.
But people live a good life in Lingyi, have a house to live in, and have a business. How can they go to the new city and start over if there is no benefit.
After all, everyone knows that there is no one in the new town now, and no business could be done in the past.
Ning Cheng also turned his head anxiously. Even if he was offered many benefits, there were still only a few people who accepted them.
Until Wei Qing led the troops to fight this time, Ning Cheng seemed to have found a life-saving straw and asked to see Wei Qing on the road.
"General Hou."
After seeing the ceremony, Ning Cheng knew that Wei Qing could not waste time, so he quickly said to Wei Qing on horseback, "General, please send all the prisoners captured in this battle to Chang'an New City for resettlement."
If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of prisoners will inevitably appear after this battle.
Anyone in the Yan Kingdom who could have anything to do with King Yan was within the attack range of the imperial troops.
Of course, if you're close, you don't need to think too much about it, it's dead.
But those who are distantly related, or simply implicated, basically have the fate of migrating to Guanzhong.
According to the usual practice, the local powerful families and businessmen in the counties of Yan State are all migrating.
This is what Liu Bang did when he went everywhere to pacify kings with different surnames.
Wei Qing, who was on horseback, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
Ning Cheng's hanging heart finally calmed down.
He saluted Wei Qing again, then hurriedly retreated to the roadside, watching the army pass by.
Li Yunze is determined to build a strong cavalry, and all aspects of equipment and treatment are top-notch.
The most notable thing is that the standard equipment of the cavalry is three horses.
A pack horse used to transport military supplies.
A riding horse used for transportation.
A war horse, used to charge into battle.
In the past, the cavalry in Middle-earth basically consisted of one horse. The cavalry relied on one horse to conquer the world.
Comparing the two sides, the gap is immediately apparent.
In terms of equipment alone, there is an obvious generational difference in the cavalry innovation promoted by Li Yunze.
In addition to the cavalry equipped with three horses, thousands of the most elite cavalry are equipped with steel plate armor, the core of which are the thousand elite cavalry trained by Li Yunze in Zhongshan Kingdom.
Now the scale has expanded to nearly four thousand riders, and their horses are even covered in horse armor.
The rest of the cavalry are also equipped with iron double armor, which is two pieces of iron sheet tied with cowhide or other materials to protect the front and back.
It's not that I can't afford better armor, but it's to reduce weight.
In terms of weapons, the cavalry has popularized lances and improved ring-shou swords. In addition, you can also choose a riding bow or a hand crossbow. In addition, you can also choose weapons such as flails, spears, and bones.
Then there is the cavalry three-piece suit, stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.
It is self-evident that these three types of equipment can improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry.
More than ten thousand cavalrymen and tens of thousands of horses pulled out a mighty formation and rumbled straight towards Fenglingdu.
Wei Qing pulled away almost all the cavalry inside and outside Chang'an City. As for the once glorious chariot troops, they were directly eliminated and the horses were transferred to the cavalry.
After Li Yunze got out of the van, a general once said that the chariot still had great use and should be reused.
But Li Yunze knew that chariots and soldiers who had extremely high requirements on terrain were destined to be eliminated unless they had internal combustion engines.
So he directly classified all the carriages into the infantry sequence, and eliminated all the carriages and soldiers.
It is to defeat the Huns in the aspect that they are most proud of and strongest!
On the march, Wei Qing had been thinking about how to fight this battle.
If we were simply dealing with King Yan Liu Dingguo, we wouldn't even need Wei Qing to step forward.
Although the Yan State was a feudal state, it was also a feudal state of the Han Dynasty.
Naturally, most of the people in the country and even the officials and soldiers have their hearts set on the great Han.
Gongsun Ao led thousands of troops there, which was enough to pacify Liu Dingguo.
Therefore, the main purpose of this battle is the Huns invited by King Yan.
The first thing Wei Qing thought of was the battle with Li Yunze that defeated the Huns' royal court in Taiyuan County.
This was also the battle in which he became famous and became a noble due to his merits, so he was naturally deeply impressed.
'Lure the enemy to go deep, let the Huns invade, and then send out partial troops to cut off their return.'
This tactic is actually very simple. To sum it up, it is to lure the enemy deep, gather them and destroy them.
Another general in charge of the army would have sent an envoy without any hesitation, ordering the defenders of the Great Wall Legion to open an opening to let the Huns in.
But Wei Qing was a kindhearted man and could not bear the people of Yan State to be ravaged by the Xiongnu, so he still could not make up his mind.
When he was heading north, crossing the Sanjin River Valley, and preparing to enter the Hebei Plain from Taihang Baxing, Gongsun Ao urgently sent an official military information document from Jicheng.
"Liu Dingguo really deserves to die!"
After reading the official document, even Wei Qing, who was always known for his good temper, was furious and cursed.
Gongsun Ao said in the official document that after receiving the order, he went north from the Jibei Kingdom and entered the Yan Kingdom first, waiting for Zhidu to join Wei Qing's troops.
However, not long after he led his troops into the territory of the Yan Kingdom, he encountered the defeated county soldiers. After questioning, he learned that Yan King Liu Dingguo left Jicheng and headed straight for Youbeiping. He and the Xiongnu Great Dan Yu Liyingwai broke through several passes in Youbeiping.
The Huns poured into all parts of Yan State like a tide, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.
The local county soldiers were caught off guard and were defeated and dispersed.
As for the Great Wall Corps on the borders of each county, they were defending their own defense zones before receiving orders.
This method of luring the invaders into the country really aroused everyone's anger.
Under the scolding of Sima, the lieutenants of the school all asked Wei Qing to fight.
After calming down, Wei Qing did not rush to lead his troops out of Taihang and go straight to Yan State. Instead, he turned around and looked at the map.
At this time, his troops had passed Dang County and were in Taiyuan County.
As Li Yunze entered Chang'an City and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the former Zhongshan Kingdom was naturally eliminated and divided into various counties and counties under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
After studying the map for a while, Wei Qing quickly made a decision in his mind.
"Everyone."
Wei Qing summoned everyone to the map and pointed at the Great Wall, "I intend to send out surprise troops. We will go north to Daijun, bypass Shanggu, Yuyang to Youbeiping, and cut off the retreat route of the Huns!"
When everyone heard it, they understood that this was the replica of Shanyu, the emperor's military minister.
Some people always like to say that when fighting, we stick to the rules and dare not innovate. We fight based on the old experience of the past.
But the reason why old experience is called experience is because it has been tested successfully.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. Following successful experience is the safest choice.
As for those unconventional and unexpected ways of winning, there are indeed some, but in the history of thousands of years of war, how many have been successful?
Everyone praised him one after another, saying that what the general said was true and that he should be beaten like this.
Wei Qing, who was determined, immediately sent an envoy to deliver a message to Gongsun Ao and Zhidu, telling them to defend Jicheng no matter what, and they must not let this large northern city fall into the hands of the Huns.
The crime of losing a famous city can really kill someone.
Immediately, another wave of envoys were sent to give orders to the soldiers of the counties and counties of Yan State, asking them to guard their places and fight against the invading Huns.
They also sent envoys to Changshan, Hejian, Qinghe and other places near Yan State to inform them of the affairs of Yan State and let them be on guard.
After arranging these, Wei Qing simply abandoned the accompanying civilians and led the entire army into cavalry mobile attack mode.
During a march under normal circumstances, the cavalry's maneuvering speed may not even be faster than that of the infantry.
But once you start running long distances regardless of losses and costs, it will be five hundred miles in three days and a thousand miles in six days.
Of course, the route Wei Qing chose had many mountainous roads, so it was difficult to achieve this level, but it was definitely a fast ride.
According to the tradition of the Han army's expedition, a large group of civilian armed forces would gather near the camps of the regular army.
Most of these people are composed of local rangers, good sons who have been rejected, and unpopular sons of noble families.
Their purpose is very simple, that is to follow the regular army to fight and change their own destiny with their military exploits.
This time, there were tens of thousands of militiamen from various places who followed Wei Qing's army.
Among them, there is one person who is recommended by everyone as the leader, and everyone is willing to obey his orders.
"Mr. Li!"
Li Guang, who was sitting by the fire, drinking wine and eating barbecue, saw someone running over in a hurry, so he smiled and said, "Sit down and have a drink."
"Li Gong!" The visitor jumped anxiously, "We can't eat anymore. Wei Qing's troops have already left the camp! All the civilians were dismissed directly."
Li Guang, a Han general who once rose to the rank of county guard and Weiyang palace lieutenant.
It's a pity that when the Chang'an Palace changed, he was framed by Wang Quan and others, which led to very serious consequences.
According to Han law, it should have been cut down directly.
But Li Yunze was kind and thought it was an unintentional mistake, so he forgave his death penalty.
Afterwards, Li Guang's family sold their property and paid a fine to absolve him of the crime.
However, although the man was released, his family property was gone, and the titles and titles gained through years of hard work were also lost.
For Li Guang, he has been fighting all his life and knows nothing but fighting.
Fortunately, I had friends to help me, so I wasn't too depressed.
When Wei Qing's army set off for the expedition, Li Guang immediately followed him with his family and friends, hoping to gain military glory on the battlefield and return to the army.
When he learned that Wei Qing's army was marching out in a hurry without even taking the civilian husband with him, Li Guang immediately understood that something big was going on and rushed to the battlefield eagerly.
He quickly stood up and raised his hand to wipe the grease from his mouth, "Call the brothers to assemble, the war is right in front of you!"
A group of militiamen quickly gathered and followed Li Guang to chase Wei Qing's army.
These militiamen who are bent on making great achievements may not yet know that Li Guang's most amazing skill is called getting lost.
