Within a few months, the entire Central Plains and all forces fell into calm and peace. You must know that it is not suitable to fight in winter. The cold environment is the biggest problem for winter operations, especially the areas in Ji, You, and the north, which are covered with ice for thousands of miles and covered with heavy snow. It is not only a strong test for the quality of soldiers, but also a huge challenge for logistical supplies.
In central Jingzhou, Yunzhou and the imperial court formed an alliance with King Chen and secretly reached an agreement.
It can be regarded as the conditions that Bing Zheng and Dongfang Chang agreed upon privately! Even the ministers facing each emperor were aware of Bing Zheng's intention to enter the palace to meet the saint.
The general trend of the world is that if King Qin takes Nanzhou, he will definitely expand eastward. This is an unchanging fact. Jingzhou and the imperial court were bound to form a secret alliance to discuss strategies against Qin due to the general trend.
in this way! But it has reduced a lot of pressure on Dongfang.
The King of Chu, guarding Jiangdong, is ready to march his army into the borders of Jingzhou. His general Zhou Zhaojian received orders from Dongfang Yin and wanted to capture the four counties and cities south of the Huaichuan River in Jingzhou during the chaos caused by the battle between Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Jie.
If so! Jiangdong can take over half of the land south of Jingzhou. By then! Jiangdong can embrace Sichuan, monopolize the antenna, and keep the enemy at bay.
And Jiaozhou is a barren and unremarkable place. Jiangdong has no intention of taking it into his pocket now. after all! If Jiaozhou is captured, this barren land will be regarded as a burden at best. Not only do they have to send troops to garrison, but they also have to send in a large amount of food, which is extremely disadvantageous to Jiangdong.
Therefore! Fight first, then plunder the land.
A few months have passed, and in the blink of an eye, in March, the kings are beginning to stir up trouble again. Especially after Dongfang Yu went smoothly in the west and captured Dingzhou, Zhengzhou, and Nanzhou, it put an inexplicable huge pressure on the countries in the east.
In particular, Qi King Dongfangtian and Dongfang Yu returned victorious from the Huangpao expedition in Jizhou. When they were separated, the two had an agreement. If the two of them were victorious, they would bow their heads and become vassals. Betrayal is never allowed, and both of them are caught up in each other's talents and cannot bear to strangle each other.
In Le'an County, Qingzhou, King Qi Dongfangtian, military advisors Xu Yeling, Zimu, generals such as Shangguan Wenhao, Ji Jian, Bai Xuan, Luo Tong, Luo Youshan, Zhao Li, etc., led an army of 150,000 and were stationed here.
The total military strength of Qi State was only 300,000, and many of them died in fighting and killing. But as far as Dongfangtian is concerned, the combat effectiveness of this 300,000-strong army is not weak at all.
He only led an army of 150,000 to attack Yanwan, and the rest of the troops were to defend against the invading Japanese pirates along the coast, as well as the King Chen and the imperial army in the west, and more importantly, the King of Chu in the east of the Yangtze River.
King Chu's military strength was not only tens of thousands higher than his, but most importantly, King Chu had generals under his command, including Xiao Huangqi, Xiao Shan, Zhou Zhaojian, Luo Qian, Fang Shouke, etc., all of whom were world-famous generals. In particular, Xiao Huangqi, the governor of Jiangdong, was Xiao Dingguo, the great general of Jiangdong.
The reputation of this old guy is no less than that of General Liu Wenlong! That's it, a dynasty can have such two gods of war. Liu Wenlong and Xiao Dingguo, what a pity! The imperial court itself failed to do its best, and the road to success was ruined.
Le'an County and Youzhou border, its! The royal capital of King Yan was established in Beiping County, Youzhou, so! If you want to defeat the Yan army, attacking Youzhou is the fastest and most lethal strategy. If we can defeat King Yan in Youzhou and break through the royal capital, then! The rest of Jizhou and Bingzhou are within easy reach.
certainly! King Yan is not that easy to fight. Dongfang Ping occupies the two fertile lands of Jizhou and Youzhou, with a population of more than 7 million. There is no shortage of food, and there are sufficient troops. Even on ordinary days, Dongfangtian's tone was very loud, somewhat arrogant and self-willed, and he talked wildly about competing for the world.
actually! They really have this capital. Dongfang Tian currently has 600,000 soldiers under his command. Hebei famous generals such as Gu Lishi, Luo Qingsheng, Tian Kai, Wen Zong, Zhang Heng, etc. are all under his command, as well as a group of powerful counselors. Xu Bei, Zhou Bo, Zi Luo, and Xin Ping were a powerful group of counselors.
Why is this? The main reason why King Yan was able to take all three states in Hebei under his command in such a short period of time. It was also because of this that the Beiyan Empire was so frightened that they no longer dared to take any chances with Sanzhou.
no way! Gongsun Yan discovered a very strange problem. Although today's Dawu is divided into four parts, and the princes are arbitrary and exclusive, dividing the whole Dawu, but this is exactly the case! Today's Dawu is the most terrifying.
The King of Yan, the King of Qi, the King of Chu, the King of Chen, the King of Qin, and the imperial court, if any of them did not have hundreds of thousands of troops, they would have twice as many troops as Dawu, which had not yet been divided.
With two million troops, who can withstand this? If a foreign enemy invades and an alliance of kings comes, no one who is not a scumbag will be left.
In Le'an County...
"Two gentlemen, our army's scouts came to report and got the most accurate information on the enemy's strength and the status of the army in Hebei."
"I didn't expect that King Yan's troops in Hebei actually numbered 600,000, and the food was even more abundant. As for Shan Dong, we have been harassed by Japanese pirates all the year round, and the losses of materials are huge. I'm afraid! In one or two years, we can still do it. If we fight against King Yan for too long, our army will probably retreat without a fight." Dongfang Tian's biggest concern is the issue of food and grass.
The competition in the world has reached its most intense stage. It is nothing more than fighting for talents and turf. If Qi State can win the three states of Hebei, its strength will definitely expand and its food supply will be substantially solved.
Zimu and Xu Yeling took the intelligence book sent from the front line, their expressions still calm, "Why do you need to worry, Your Majesty? Although Hebei has a large number of troops, the number of truly elite soldiers is only 200,000, and their combat effectiveness is not enough to compete with our Qi soldiers." , resist.”
Zimu said.
Dongfang Tian shook his head and still said: "Has Zi Aiqing ever heard of such a saying? If there are too many ants, they will bite people to death? What's more? King Yan has many generals who are good at conquering and fighting, and there are also counselors who can make plans. , is it not easy to defeat King Yan?"
Xu Yeling said: "Have you forgotten King Qin... King Qin can defeat millions of Liao soldiers, not to mention your Majesty, can't you defeat King Yan?"
"Xu Aiqing, there are millions of Liao soldiers, and they are all elites. However, there is a big difference between Liao soldiers and our soldiers from the Central Plains. The Liao soldiers are brave and mostly have no plans! But our people from the Central Plains are good at strategy and tactics. Attacking is characterized by cunning. It is much more difficult to attack the King of Yan than to attack the Liao soldiers." Dongfang Tiandao.
Speaking of which, Dongfang Tian really admired Dongfang Yu very much, once! He is even more ashamed of himself. For so many years, he has not dared to relax at all.
"The power of King Yan is indeed powerful, but this is not necessarily true! It means it is invincible."
At this time! Zimu's eyes were filled with a cold light.
