Chapter 312: Move Forward


The entire East China Sea had actually become the footbath of the Han Dynasty, and after Murong Yan stopped paying attention to the Liao1 East and Chao1 Xian Peninsula, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla actually needed to rely on Liu Yan's snort.

It may not be easy for Liu Yan to completely conquer the Chaoyi Xian Peninsula, but it is not difficult to suppress it.

He actually gained the status of supremacy on the Haseon Peninsula and was one step closer to controlling Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla to some extent.

Gaya is a tribal confederation and does not count as a nation.

This tribal alliance is formed by the union of six relatively large tribes, and the source of the population is very complex, the upper class is the Buyeo people and the Quwo people, the middle class should be mainly the Japanese people, and the lowest class is the three races of Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan.

The reality is that the Buyeo people are the dominant ethnic group on the Chaoyi Xian Peninsula and the Wa Islands, and they have been the dominant position of the upper class for a long time, including Goguryeo, which is actually the backbone of the Buyeo people's rule.

The Buyeongs would become the ruling people of the Chaoxian Peninsula and even the Wa Islands, and they would also like to thank the former Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty.

It was Liu Che who extinguished the Weiman Joseon, that is, the power of the Central Plains in the past, which led to a certain degree of "vacuum" in the East 1 North region and the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula.

The Western Han Dynasty set up Lelang County, Xuansu County, Zhenfan County and Lintun County there, but did not invest much energy in construction or development, and adopted a restrained policy.

The strategy is to support local indigenous families loyal to the central government, and after canonization, they promise hereditary official positions and a certain degree of autonomy.

It is precisely because of the policy of restraint that the ancestors of Goguryeo took a breather, and Goguryeo continued to grow later, forming a situation where it was a hegemon in Liaodong at the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Murong Xianbei's sweep of the eastern periphery of Liao 1 broke the original situation, Goguryeo was directly defeated, and the Buyeo Kingdom was almost collapsed and scattered, but it was the strong rise of Baekje, which led to the Han Department having a foothold on the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula.

Silla had limited benefits from this turmoil on the peninsula, and they expanded dozens of miles northward, but the losses of the Silla army were really not small.

Later, Liu Yan hired the countries of the Chaoxian Peninsula, and if Goguryeo was forced to submit, Baekje was purely driven by profit, and Silla had to follow.

If Silla didn't say it, Liu Yan would dare to send troops across Baekje's borders, or even unite with Baekje to destroy Silla, after all, Baekje's coveting Silla is not a day or two.

"Ga, Kyushu, and Izumo should have been instructed by Baekje."

There is an absolute reason for Lu Yi to say this: "This is clearly mentioned in the letter of the Queen of Silla. ” "Because of the return of the army to the Central Plains, our military strength on the peninsula has dropped to an all-time low, and it is not surprising that Baekje will not be able to hold it down."

Ji Chang glanced at everyone and said, "We have expected this for a long time. ” If there is anyone who has benefited the most from the transformation of the 1 Xian Peninsula this time, excluding the Han Tribe, which is an outsider, Baekje will benefit the most.

Murong Yanguo knocked Goguryeo with a stick, and Baekje dared to expand nearly a hundred miles northward, and if there was no Han to insert a pole, they would even be able to hit the edge of the Yalu River in Majishui.

When a country reaches the peak of expansion, the spirit is the highest, and the ambition of the army to expand outward will be extremely strong, if it weren't for the Han Department there, Baekje would not have instructed the guys such as Gatsu, Kyushu, and Izumo, and would have played it himself.

"We can't transfer troops to the peninsula at this stage," Lu Yi said with an ugly face, "It is estimated that it is only after this point that Baekje will put his ideas into action." ” Liu Yan recruited mercenaries on the Chaoxian Peninsula, but there were nobles in Baekje who came to the Central Plains in person, but any Baekje nobles with some brains would definitely see one thing, that is, the Great War in the Central Plains could not be avoided.

Since the Han army will fight to the death with Shijie Zhao in the Central Plains, it seems normal that Baekje can't hold back.

Baekje's command of others is just a temptation, if Liu Yan is indifferent, he will definitely play on his own, and regardless of whether Silla can resist the invasion or not, the status of the Han tribe on the Korean Peninsula will definitely decline.

"The queen of Silla was declared a vassal in her letter of state, and this was the first country on the peninsula to officially submit to us."

Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, we can't be indifferent. ” Accepting a younger brother is a very popular thing for Chinese civilization, and while the emperor has a lot of face, it is part of the increase in national prestige, and the other is to boost the morale of the country's military and people.

It was the first alien race to be a vassal to Liu Yan, which had high political significance, and then it was related to the future policy towards the Korean 1 Xian Peninsula, and it was absolutely impossible to do nothing.

"Baekje mobilization can recruit about 170,000 troops, how many troops should we send" Lu Tai's mood was very depressed, if he sent troops to the Chaoyi Xian Peninsula again, would there be a more suitable person than him He really didn't want to go back to the Chaoxian Peninsula again, and was extremely eager to stay in the Central Plains to fight.

"Baekje's national mobilization" Ji Chang was a little surprised: "What we need is another deterrence, we just need to show an attitude." ” To be honest, Baekje's army was quite capable of fighting in combat, or it would not have fought against Goguryeo and bullied Silla before.

They have just carried out a major expansion, and it should be the time when the morale of the army is at its highest, and it is quite difficult to deter again.

"Tai'an."

Liu Yan probably guessed what Ji Chang wanted to do, and asked, "United Goguryeo and Silla" Ji Chang said with a hideous face: "Your Majesty, our navy is currently only serving as an escort and transport, since Baekje is gathering Gasa, Izumo, and Kyushu, then we don't necessarily need to do it directly against Baekje, we can choose one of Gazai, Izumo, and Kyushu to destroy it."

There is no doubt about the strength of the Han navy, and small countries such as Gaya, Izumo, and Kyushu do not need to send many troops, and they can be directly attacked and destroyed with about 10,000 troops, and will not have too much impact on the war of the Han in the Central Plains.

"Since Baekje wants to be tempted, then it is as Taean said."

Liu Yan was actually also in an annoyed state: "After choosing one of them to attack, send people to Baekje and ask for an increase in the number of mercenaries" Lu Yi stood up and saluted: "No" Liu Yan looked at Lu Tai and said, "Heng'an will be the main general in this battle. ” Lu Tai's heart was both bitter and excited, in short, it was very complicated, and he also stood up and responded: "No" Gazai, Izumo, and Kyushu are all small countries, but no matter how small a country is, isn't it also a country, and it is an honor for a martial artist to be able to destroy a country, but Lu Tai feels that he has become a habit to be marginalized As for the Korean Peninsula, the matter is over, and it is the Central Plains that really matters.

Liu Yan's mansion has not been expanded, that is because there is no need at all, they have begun to expand beyond Qingzhou, and the location of the center has not been confirmed at all, and what is the purpose of building the palace.

In fact, after Liu Yan stated that he did not keep it, the next further expansion of the Han Department has become inevitable, and no one will think that the Xia Mi Society is a good place for the center of a country, and where it will be used as the capital after the founding of the country, it depends on the actual situation. did not confirm the location of the capital, and Liu Yan is not the kind of person who likes pleasure and is not qualified to enjoy it for the time being, so in terms of the current situation of the Han Department, building a palace is a waste of money, and there is not so much labor to waste.

After deciding to capture the whole of Xuzhou, the main force of the Han army had already begun to march towards Pengcheng.

Pengcheng had been attacked by the Han army several times before, but at that time, it was mainly training, basically leaving Pengcheng without a large-scale attack, and the rest of Pengcheng County was swept many times.

The main force of the Han army sent troops to Pengcheng again, and unexpected things happened, that is, Wang Ji, Wang Luan and the Guo family, and the rest of the generals and ministers, they learned that the Han army was killing again, and they didn't say anything about giving up Pengcheng with Shi Zun, but chose to retreat to Yuzhou.

Yu Yi originally wanted to see a great battle, but when he came to Pengcheng, he found that the Han army flag was already fluttering above the city tower, which made the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including him, stunned after smiling bitterly.

The cavalry of the Han army naturally would not let Shi Zun and others leave safely, and pursued all the way to the edge of Suishui to intercept the slow-running Shijie Zhao army, because Shi Zun and those important people all crossed the river, and the people who were left behind were easily forced to surrender.

It should be the eve of the Winter Solstice Festival, and the battle report was sent back to Xiami, officially confirming that Xuzhou was all under the Han Department, and at this time Liu Yan had actually moved to Taishan County.

The place where Liu Yan stayed is called Fenggao, which is about forty miles away from Mount Tai, and the side is the downstream of Wenshui.

Because of the previous fire, Bonggao actually had a white field around it, and if you go to the wild, you can't even see the remnants of the woods, but only patches of burned bare land, which shows how big the fire was at that time.

Mount Tai is actually a mountain range, thanks to the separation of Wen water, only one of the five mountains of Mount Tai at that time was affected by the fire, and the other four mountains were unharmed.

Fenggao is currently in ruins, and is not suitable as a place for the army to camp, the army is camped on the edge of the ruined city, on the edge of the Wenshui.

As the leader, Liu Yan moved west to the front line, indicating that the Han army's main troops would be in the direction of Yanzhou next, and Jiang Gan was the happiest about this.

The envoys of Murong Yanguo who participated in the alliance have returned, and Yu Yi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty envoys has stayed in his personal capacity, and the whole class is staying in the Qin State of the Ran family and the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family.

Jiang Gan and Xie Ai, they only followed to Taishan County with some retinues, and the rest of the envoys were left in Xiami City.

"After the main force of the Han army conquered Xuzhou, it was to return to Xiami to rest and recuperate."

Xie Ai glanced at Liu Yan not far away, then looked at the surrounding snow, rubbed his hands with a sigh of heat, and said, "The main force of the Han army has not been drawn forward, and what will happen has not yet been determined." ” Of course, Jiang Gan knew this, but he insisted that since Liu Yan moved over to Taishan County, there would inevitably be a next move.

By the way, whether it was Jiang Gan or Xie Ai, they didn't know that the Han army had begun to infiltrate the Yanzhou direction before, but they only knew that the Han army's movements were very frequent.

There is a mountain not far from Fenggao, its name is Guishan, which is on the north bank of Wenshui.

At this time, Liu Yan was looking at Turtle Mountain from a distance, and the other people next to him were looking at Wenshui that had frozen into ice.

Winter is really not a good season for combat, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the scarcity of supplies.

The number of Han troops who came to Fenggao was not too much, only 8,000 Praetorian Guards and less than 20,000 remaining troops.

There were only a small number of cavalry in these troops, after all, Taishan County was a mountainous terrain, and it was a waste to come to the cavalry.

"We didn't hide our whereabouts, Shi Hu must have known about it."

Huan Wen seems to be more afraid of the cold, with good warm clothes and a fur cloak, but he still looks shrunken and shrunken: "With such courage as the king, even if you can't attract the Zhao army to attack, you should have some gains." ” Some people who got together with Huan Wen were born south of the Yangtze River, his old partner Yuan Qiao was left in Changguang County, and some people who came to serve Liu Yan one after another vaguely formed a small circle with Huan Wen as the core.

Seriously speaking, there is no shortage of talents south of the Yangtze River, at least those who come to the Han Department can be regarded as people who can do things.

After they came, they divided into two factions, some of the children of the family moved closer to Huan Wen, and the other part of the local Haoqiang and Hanmen children moved closer to Lu Yi.

Ji Chang is a vigilant attitude towards those people south of the Yangtze River who like to form gangs, but he can't deal with it, after all, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and the formation of a small circle is an inevitable thing, and it can't be eliminated at all, but it can't be allowed to cause harm.

There are not many counties connected by Taishan County, Jinan County and Zhu'a County to the north, Lu County, Langxi County and Rencheng County to the south, Dongping County and Jibei County to the west, and Dong'an County and Dongguan County to the north.

In terms of strategic position, in addition to the mountainous terrain is not suitable as an administrative center, whoever obtains Taishan County means that he can build a military defense chain based on the mountainous terrain.

Liu Yan's intention to march into Taishan County was almost also to fight for strategic places, after all, the Hu people didn't like mountain warfare, but the army of the Chinese civilization did.

After seizing Taishan County and Pengcheng County, the Han army will become a double-pincer offensive, and if it starts a war, it will occupy the greatest initiative.

The initiative is very important to Liu Yan, as for Jiang Gan, as long as he has the opportunity, he will talk about the benefits of entering the central Xiangguo of Shijie, Wu Guang is the example in the front, who will do this if he has a sick brain.

That's right, Ji Chang really couldn't help but give Jiang Gan a history lesson, talking about the old example of Wu Guang's lone army being annihilated in the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Xie Ai, who was present at the time, had a wonderful expression, and Jiang Gan was directly choked and his face turned black to the bottom of the pot.

"We've put our game in place and we've thought it's the best fit."

Liu Yan once again summoned everyone to the big tent of the Chinese army, and said very relaxedly: "The next thing is to wait for the dice to be thrown." ” Well, no one knew Caesar, so no one understood what Liu Yan was talking about
