Liu Yan's choice to lead the army back to Xia Mi is unexpected.
It will be surprising, naturally the Han Department has just captured Duchang City, and the surrounding land is naturally included in the territory of the Han Department.
But now there is more than one enemy army is approaching Liu Yan's department, in addition to the more than 30,000 enemy troops in the direction of Gaomi County, there is also an enemy army of 30,000 or 40,000 in Dong'an County, Duchang City is dilapidated and not easy to hold, that mountainous area is considered a field, only Xiami has been operated for a period of time and has a relatively complete fortification, and it is the best choice to retreat to Xiami to prepare for defensive battles.
Cao Yan saw the Xiami City operated by the Han Ministry, and naturally also saw the sub-city and the camp as part of the momentum of the corner, and thought that Liu Yan's choice was the right one.
Next, Liu Yan faced more than two enemy armies, even if he could win the battle against the enemy troops coming from the two directions of Gaomi County and Dong'an County, there would be a steady stream of enemy troops coming, and it could be confirmed that there were two armies on the Xuzhou side and Guanggu City that were preparing for battle.
"Four years after the establishment of the clan, from nothing to control the territory of the three counties, the most difficult test is coming."
Liu Yan has already ordered Ji Chang to come over, and in addition to Ji Chang, he will also transfer 4,000 troops from the Korean Peninsula: "We must do our best to prepare for difficulties" Lu Yi was more pleased that this time Liu Yan did not retreat from difficulties, but chose to concentrate on dealing with difficulties.
Only by surviving this crisis can the Han Department be regarded as a real rise, and the attention they want to attract the attention of the world may occur in this battle, if they can win the battle, the heroes of the world need to face up to the Han Department, and the Han Department has also turned from obscurity to the world.
"Yes, we will go all out to deal with this challenge" Liu Yan's mentality has not changed, the difference is that he didn't have the strength to fight before, but now he has the strength.
He said: "This time there will be a mobilization, and within a month, 30,000 reinforcements will arrive in Shijie Zhao from overseas. ” The Han soldiers and horses of Shijie Zhao currently have 60,000, plus the 30,000 follow-up support, that is to reach 90,000.
Of the 90,000 troops who participated in the war, nearly 20,000 were soldiers who had been in the army for more than two years, and they were soldiers who had seen blood on the Korean Peninsula.
About 30,000 were new annexes, servant armies, and slave armies that were forced to serve in Changguang County, Dongmu County, and Donglai County after the army was waved westward; Nearly 40,000 soldiers are mobilized young and strong, and they are only trained at a fixed time every year, and they can only be regarded as a type of militia.
Because of the identity registration with the number plate, it is very easy to check how many people there are in the Han Department.
In Liu Yan's westward movement, Shijie Zhao controlled the three counties, the total population of the Han Department has reached 340,000, the free people are 220,000, and the rest are either the servant class or slave status, which is related to the new Jin capture of a Donglai County and the capture of Beihai County, two cities and some towns.
"We will do our best to bring out the potential of the war."
Lu Yi has full confidence in this: "Thanks to our policy, the vast majority of the new annex army, servant army, and slave army are eager to change their fate on the battlefield. ” Not only that, the soldiers are hungry for merit, and those servants and slaves are also eager to become free people, as long as the Han is not defeated and can stabilize on the front line, the war potential will inevitably be tapped, because for everyone this war is a great opportunity to change their fate Yes, it's a great opportunity to change your fate, including of course some families who don't want to merge into the Han Clan, but they don't know what happened at the moment.
Xiami's side is really well managed by the Han Department, a city that is already well-defended, plus a deliberately angular-made sub-city, the military camp located on the west side of the glue looks impregnable, and the three defense points form an irregular cornering trend, and any enemy who wants to take down the Xiami city to attack one of them will definitely suffer from the flanking attacks of the other two.
For everyone, it rained rather unpleasantly.
Listening to the locals, this season is indeed supposed to rain, it will fall intermittently for about half a month, or how can it be called the spring ploughing season, isn't it just planting seeds, and God will reward your face to give some rain "The enemy troops on the south side are still eighty miles away from us, and the banner they played is the banner of Liu Min, the chief general of Gaomi County."
Lu Yi quickly entered the role, as a marching commander, it is necessary to understand the enemy's movements, and then make a reasonable response, but there are some problems, such as: "The scouts we sent did not detect any troops in the west. ” Liu Yan immediately asked: "How far is the scout reconnaissance range?"
"Baili."
What Lu Yi said is also a restriction of scout reconnaissance: "No matter how far it goes, it will be beyond the scope of Dong'an County." ” Do you know that the current Dong'an County was called Dongguan County before, and when it came to Liu Yuan's Han Kingdom, Dongguan County was changed to Chengyang County on the northeast side of Langya County, which means that Chengyang County is gone, Dongguan County has changed its place, and a new Dong'an County has appeared.
Considering that the Hu people have no control over the political power at all, the chaotic reform of administrative units is really an extremely common thing, and the result is that the local prefectures and counties are now in chaos.
How to say that it is like a few maps of mountains and rivers that Liu Yan asked people to hang on the wall, the first one belongs to the Western Jin Dynasty, and there is no Dong'an County in it.
In the second one, it should be a map of mountains and rivers belonging to Liu Yuan's Han Dynasty, which became Chengyang County and disappeared.
The third one is even more bizarre, the counties in it are still called by those names, but there are many contradictions in which state the county belongs to.
Those maps of mountains and rivers are very simple, only roughly marking where there are counties, where there are cities, as for the mountains and water, etc., the terrain is blank, it is hard to believe that such a map is already the most complete one, so if it is not perfect, it is not a random mess The current location of the 30,000 troops led by Fei Yan, Mr.
Gong Tao and others is a place called Chunyu, about ten miles west of the beach and about thirty miles northeast of modern Anqiu.
In fact, Liu Yan no longer expected the enemy army from Gaomi County to speed up a little, according to the results of their discussion, the enemy army in the direction of Gaomi County would only approach after the arrival of the Yao family's troops.
"Then is it necessary for us to take the initiative to destroy this enemy army before the Yao family's troops appear" The location of Liu Yandian is, of course, the place marked on the map: "How is the terrain there?"
Cao Yan needs to answer this question, he said: "That place is located on the side of a mountainous area, and to the west is a mountainous type, and the terrain near the beach and glue area is relatively flat. ” Cao Yan does not belong to the Han Ministry now, he can only be said to be a partner of cooperation, and if he is seriously calculated, it is equivalent to some kind of guest qing, and part of his cooperation with Liu Yan is to provide necessary intelligence support.
There is no doubt about the importance of intelligence, if there is no intelligence from Cao Yan, the Han side can only wait for the army sent by the Yao family to enter the warning range within thirty miles, and will not know that the army belongs to the Yao family at the first time, only know that there is an army, and in terms of scale, it can only be temporarily investigated.
If he hadn't known in advance that the Yao family had sent thirty or forty thousand troops, Liu Yan should have been near the mountainous area seventy miles south of Hanting at that time, perhaps fighting with the enemy army from the direction of Gaomi County, and then being flanked by the south and west, it would have been a relatively bad situation.
Knowing that the Yao family sent troops over is only one of them, without the information provided by Cao Yan, the Han Department would not know that Xuzhou was preparing for war, but it would definitely know about Guanggu City, but it would be delayed for at least half a month.
"I thought that the assassin should increase the troops, and it was to increase the troops immediately."
Cao Yan didn't know that Liu Yan had ordered mobilization: "This time the Han army will not face one or two enemy armies, and the battle will not end in three or two months. ” There are many things that Liu Yan didn't need to let Cao Yan know, for example, Xu Zheng's department, which originally planned to invade Gaomi County, accelerated the preparation for the invasion, and it depended on whether the enemy army from Gaomi County would retreat after Gaomi County was attacked.
If the enemy army from Gaomi County did not retreat, Xu Zheng would take advantage of the emptiness of Gaomi County to complete the capture, probably or mainly to loot materials and population, and then march from the south to Beihai County, and participate in the war when it is necessary and when it is appropriate.
Almost when the scouts finally discovered the army to which the Yao family belonged, there was also information from Guanggu City that the new assassin Liu Zheng raised 50,000 troops to officially intervene in the Qingzhou war.
"That guy issued a letter ordering all parties to return to their counties."
Liu Yan didn't respect Liu Zheng and sneered: "Special order me to return to Changguang County, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion." ” Liu Yan's official position in Shijie Zhao State was only the Changguang County Guard, and Dongmu County was hung on the head of the original County Guard, and the county code of Donglai County had already been killed.
"Liu Zheng is deeply trusted by Shi Hu, and he intervenes in the war" Cao Yan was laughing again, but it was like a sneer: "It's a good thing for Hanbu." ” The affairs of Qingzhou only belong to Qingzhou, Liu Zheng is the assassin of Qingzhou, and seriously speaking, he has the right to refuse the intervention of foreign states and counties, so whether it is the Yao family or Xuzhou, legally speaking, as long as he enters Qingzhou, it is considered a rebellion.
"Will Liu Zheng refuse the Yao family's army to enter Qingzhou?"
Liu Yan still hasn't figured out whether Dong'an County belongs to Qingzhou or Yanzhou.
No one is a roundworm in Liu Zheng's stomach, so how can he answer Liu Yan's question However, it is probably still possible to guess that Liu Zheng is not Liu Zheng.
Judging from the content of the text, Liu Zheng is obviously very jealous of Liu Yan, and he should be looking forward to the Yao family's intervention and attacking the Han Dynasty.

"Then Liu Zheng's order is a fart" Liu Yan showed toughness: "Since one is fighting, and two are also fighting, simply decide the ownership of Qingzhou in a war" The corners of Cao Yan's mouth hooked, but he was really sneering, thinking: "Where did you get such a big confidence":
