The State of Yan finally died.
Since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongfang Yu has used troops against the Yan State. Now for more than a year, he has won the final battle of the Qin-Yan War at the cost of hundreds of thousands of people.
In this battle, Dongfang Yu summed up his experience. The most critical thing in this battle is the national strength of a country.
Although the Yan State had savings, it could use millions of troops, which eventually brought down the Yan State. It is not difficult to imagine that the population of Yan country is only five million, and the soldiers account for one million. All of them have joined the army. Who is still managing the farmland and developing the economy.
What the Yan State did was nothing more than stubborn resistance. As long as they occupied several major economic cities in the Yan State, they would definitely lose.
But the Qin State is different. There are nineteen states in the world with a population of 30 million. In addition to the population of Wu and Yue, the total population of the Qin State reaches more than 40 million. There is no shortage of troops. Plus!
As for food, there is no need to panic. The world is clearing up wasteland and farming, and some crops such as rice, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. are enough to fill the stomachs of the people all over the world, and there are enough taxes and grains to suffice the treasury.
The Qin army accepted Yan's soldiers and generals. More than 300,000 troops gathered in the school field, and there was a sea of people.
The morale of the Yan army is low now, and everyone is listless. They are extremely scared now. They heard that all the generals of the Qin State were massacred and ruthless, especially the generals of the four towns of the Qin State, who had hundreds of thousands in their hands. human life.
"Military advisor, the Yan State's crusade is finally over, this battle! How many soldiers and horses did our Qin State lose?" Dongfang Yu looked up at the sky. I don't know how many people have died since the army was launched?
The series of numbers made him numb. He didn't dare to think about it or count it.
"Reporting to your Majesty, excluding last year's battle, this year's battle has resulted in losses of more than 256,000 troops." Xu Menghui reported.
In the entire northern battlefield, nearly 260,000 troops were lost, one thousand were wounded on the enemy, and eight hundred were lost on oneself!
There was a hint of sadness in Dongfang Yu's eyes.
moment!
Just when we came to the school platform, Dongfang Yu stood in the center of the school platform.
The Yan army below became nervous. It was time to pronounce their results.
"Commanders of the Yan State, from now on, the Qin-Yan War is over and the Yan State is dead. From now on! You are the subjects of the Qin State. Now! You... can go home and reunite." Dongfang Yu said with all his strength. He roared at Yan Jun in the audience.
This voice echoed throughout the heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Yan soldiers were all excited.
Not everyone is willing to fight. Although they are fighting for the Yan Kingdom, this war with no victory in sight will only make them more fearful and frightened.
At this moment, the 300,000 Yan troops were cheering incomparably. Only the generals who were loyal to the Yan State were extremely sad at this moment. Their Yan State finally ended their campaign in this situation.
However, the war has been going on for so long and it should be over. There are not many men left in the Yan Kingdom.
The news of Yan's defeat spread quickly to the inland, and the whole Qin State was in an uproar, especially the people, beating gongs and drums, shouting "Long Live Emperor Wu".
The court!
"Okay, my father has pacified the Yan Kingdom. From then on, all the northeastern territories will be returned to Qin." Prince Dongfang Jun read the letter excitedly.
After Yan surrendered, Qin gained hundreds of miles of land. Qin's current territory is the largest in history, and it is also the most powerful country in history.
"Great. After the battle between Qin and Yan, it's time for us in the country to relax."
All the ministers of His Highness breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle with Liaoyan made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty even more nervous than when Dongfang Yu fought the internal war in the Central Plains.
"His Royal Highness, next, shall we make arrangements for Your Majesty to return to court?" Jin Rui asked immediately.
"This matter is not urgent. My father's 930,000-strong army still needs to be stationed in Youdu for two months before we can discuss the matter of the squadron." The prince said.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is preparing to wipe out the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop.
"However, your Majesty asked us to come up with a plan quickly for the enemy's territory occupied by the Qin army."
There has been a saying since ancient times: "It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to govern the world!"
"Prince, don't worry, the six ministries are already making preparations, but! Our battle with the Liao Kingdom is not over yet, so! The money and food in our hands need to be more careful. As for the construction of the city in the north, the old minister dares to give me some advice!"
"I hope the prince and your majesty will not be too anxious. Building the city will be a long process. If you are not careful, it may shake the foundation of the country and make the people angry." Jin Rui continued.
In every dynasty, there are large-scale construction projects, but they bear fruit! Obviously, in serious cases, people are rebelling in various places. Now Qin State has to build a lot more. If this is done in a hurry, it will be detrimental to Qin State.
"Um!"
The prince nodded, "My father also said that there is no need to be so anxious about what can be accomplished in two generations. I fully agree with this."
"Next, I have to work hard for you all."
"Your Majesty is wise, the Crown Prince is wise!" All the ministers bowed down one after another.
On the northern grassland!
After the fall of Yan State, the Qin State army quickly swept towards the land of Yan State.
The ancient saying that war feeds war is absolutely correct. The State of Yan is still very wealthy, especially the several generations of wise kings of the State of Yan, which have also allowed the State of Yan to have a lot of reserves.
Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, ordered Wei Qing that it was time to strike the final blow against the Liao Kingdom.
and! General Liu Wenqin and deputy generals Ma Chao, Hu Xiaoyue, Ma Dai, Luo Zong, Pei Yuanqing, and Jiang Hao were sent to lead an elite army of 200,000 to attack the Liao people in the north.
Wei Qing's army was on the west side, and Liu Wenqin's army was on the east side. The two armies attacked from east to west, and Liu Wenqin also wanted to eliminate the remaining forces of the Liao people in the east.
Late August, 25th.
The light cool breeze blew on my face, feeling cool.
Inside the camp!
At this time, Wei Qing and Bai Qi didn't look good.
On the contrary, the Liao Kingdom suddenly withdrew its troops, disrupting all his previous deployments.
"The Liao army has 350,000 troops on the front line. They have now retreated to Lincheng. Among them, 100,000 troops are led by Hu Erchun to guard the east. General Longxi Jun of the Liao Kingdom will most likely be stationed in Lingu." Wei Qing frowned. , the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, and the two were very happy.
But...attacking the Liao army in the north increased the difficulty for Wei Qing and Bai Qi.
The Liao army was also cunning. They took advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with Qin and quietly led their troops to retreat. Even Dongfang Yu did not react.
"That's true. Lord Long Xi should not be underestimated. If he enters Lin Valley, I'm afraid he will discover our army's layout in Lin Valley. I'm afraid that the success will fall short!" Bai Qi was a little worried.
"Avoid long nights and long dreams, act as soon as possible, and eat Hu Ernu's 180,000 troops first."
Meng Tian agreed: "General Wei, Sima, will second General Bai Qi's suggestion."
"We also second the proposal!"
Now is a fire burning the forest valley, the best time. If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.
