To put it rudely, Han Guo's body is now full of feces and urine, and it would be a shame to do more before wiping it clean, and he did not recover the Central Plains, and even did not solve Liaodong, Guanzhong and Northwest, and it is inappropriate to go south.
The Han State could do whatever it could to deal with the countries of the Hu people, but not against the forces of the same ethnicity, and it was even more difficult to deal with the internal contradictions regarding the acceptance and absorption of the population.
Therefore, when the Han State dealt with the Liang State of the Zhang family and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it could be attacked from the official side, but it could not be as unscrupulous as the conquest of the Hu people's country.
There are so many families in the south that it is unimaginable, and how to deal with those families so far the Han Kingdom has not made up an idea.
It is absolutely impossible to kill them all, and most of the high-level officials of the Han State are unwilling to kill some of them, after all, there are so many interests, and the distribution of their own people is not enough, so why give up the benefits "Therefore, only by solving the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Northeast, and Guanzhong can we go all out to the south."
Liu Yan had already led his army to set off, and their destination was Jibei County.
Of course, he was riding on top of Wang Yan, and the person who spoke to him was Wang Meng: "The situation we are currently facing is very complicated, we have to fight with the official and deal with the powerful in various places, but in fact, the number of troops is not enough. ” Wang Meng has been Liu Yan's secretary for nearly a year, and he is sure that he will be sent to the local area to be a county magistrate in winter, and how long he will work in the local area depends on his political achievements.
They set out from Fenggao and walked on the Wenshui line, with nearly 70,000 troops on land, and the waterway was densely packed with boats and warships, as if they were mighty.
There are many officials accompanying him this time, the prime ministers on the left and right are driving with them, so are Jiuqing, and then there are many middle-level officials.
After all, the king of the country is personally recruited, and Liu Yan does not have anyone like the prince of the country, and the big and small affairs of the country will definitely converge on Wang Yan.
The season is approaching autumn, and autumn is the season of the main killing, the Han State clearly rejected the possible peace of Murong Yan State, and the Zhao State of Shijie also refused to redeem Yao Yizhong, just promising that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would release Chu Fu, and treating the rest of the countries was bland.
The more the Han State showed that it was not afraid of the enemy of the whole world, the more countries did not dare to make mistakes against the Han State, and some countries that wanted to ally with the Han State became more eager.
So, sometimes momentum is really important.
"Shijie does not have a specific national policy, and the current situation is that a war broke out in a hurry without preparation.
The Xianbei Yan Kingdom had previously destroyed many countries and tribes, and was mired in counterinsurgency and warfare.
Wang Meng has many advantages of being Liu Yan's secretary, one of which is that he has a better understanding of the general trend of the world: "The Han is prepared to fight, there is no shortage of grain and armor, and although the source of soldiers is slightly insufficient, it is in the upper hand of national strength." ” This is the reason, Han Guoqiang is strong in national strength, and there is no need to be a coward.
The more such a country has a higher morale, the less confident the enemy country will be.
In the past, Liu Yan didn't know how the Hu people's country operated, but after a few years, he basically understood.
Hu people really didn't do a national policy, and most of the time they just patted their heads and did one thing.
Not only the country of the Hu people, but in fact even the countries of the Chinese civilization have a similar situation, the difference is that at least there will be some preparation.
Shi Hu was originally going to Guanzhong, but during the period, he went to the battlefield of Puyang County, which was equivalent to changing his mind halfway.
It doesn't matter what an individual wants to do in the middle of the process, but the state can't do what one moment wants, and the next moment it interrupts to do something else, which will cause many previous preparations to fail, and new things will have to start all over again.
At the national level, things will not seem simple, and changing the hexagram in the middle will seem hasty for the country, and it is easy to cause changes.
The national strength of the Han State is so strong that it does not make sense at all, not only because of the systemic factors, but also because of the great relationship with the management of the country, and then there is the problem of the people's thoughts.
Let's not talk about the benefits of the system, but first talk about the mainstream ideas among the Han people.
The source of the population of the Han Kingdom is liberation and salvation, and all of them have experienced tragic turmoil, and they have a stable living land with a stable environment, and they think about production, and their enthusiasm for production is absolutely high.
The vast majority of the population of the Han State was in the management mode of collective farms, and the state implemented the policy of cultivating the country, and the army did not recruit soldiers on a large scale, and the only way to obtain a knighthood became to work hard to produce and expect.
The title has a special meaning in the Han Kingdom, not only to obtain a high social status, but also the only basis for changing one's life and even future generations, the most important thing is to have a title to have their own private land, even if it is only because of the last point, everyone will desperately want to have a title.
Last year, in 344 AD, the Han army conscripted, and the response of the people was far beyond imagination, it was a situation where as long as it was a settlement, there was a long queue to sign up, and the accepted people were so excited that they could not help themselves, and if they did not become a member of the army, they beat their chests.
The twentieth rank is destined to be a little bit in advance, and then there is a consensus that military merit is high, if it does not reach a certain point, and then for the sake of the health of the country, it will not be difficult to recruit four or five hundred thousand soldiers with the population structure of the Han State.
Eighteen days later, Wang Yan arrived at Dong'a in Jibei County, and Ran Min led many generals to welcome Liu Yan's arrival.
"The King" It was Ran Min who took the lead, because the armor was a military salute.
The Han army's military salute was to stand up straight, put your right hand across your chest, and head down.
The Ran Min that Liu Yan saw seemed to be high-spirited, and Ran Min did have a reason to be high-spirited, and the main battlefield of Puyang, including its surroundings, had nearly 150,000 Han troops under the command of Ran Min.
After Ran Min took over the command, the battle with Shijie Zhao had mutual victories and defeats, but the Han army on the Puyang battlefield did not show a decline, and the surrounding Han army was pressing Shijie Zhao army to fight, and it was precisely this that caused Shi Hu to want to seek a truce.
"Before the king came over, our army and Shijie had just finished fighting on the Weicheng side."
Ran Min followed Liu Yan's side and introduced: "Both sides are using cavalry, we have eaten three hundred heavy cavalry and three thousand light cavalry of the Longteng guards, and the enemy has eight thousand foot soldiers. ” It was not easy for the cavalry to achieve a big result, which aroused Liu Yan's curiosity about the battle on Weicheng's side.
It is not too complicated to say that the process is not too complicated, it is Ran Min who set a trap to attract Shijie Zhao Army, and then encircle and eat it with superior forces.
The method seems common and simple, but it is not easy to implement, because it has to do with the commander's view of the overall situation and the art of command, and it uses the superiority of troops produced by the local troop mobilization in the Great War Bureau.
"An Shi."
Ran Min beckoned to the back, waiting for Xie An to get closer, and then said, "It's An Shi who is fighting on the spot, and An Shi can tell you in detail." ” Shijie Zhao Guo's Longteng Guards were not so easy to eat, Liu Yan vaguely remembered that when he ate five hundred Longteng Guards in the Battle of Taishan County, his own losses were actually more than three times that of Longteng Guards. can show his face in front of the king Xie An will not let go even if he is a gentleman, he is also a very literate person, he speaks in an orderly and detailed manner, and then he said: "The Dragon Guards are really not easy to deal with, only three hundred Dragon Teng Guards have caused nearly 1,000 casualties to our army, and the rear is still annihilated by the enemy's light cavalry and the armed infantry and crossbow troops will destroy it." ” The Shijie Zhao army that appeared in the Battle of Weicheng was not only 300 Longteng guards, 3,000 light cavalry and 8,000 foot soldiers, but also 800 Longteng guards and nearly 10,000 light cavalry, and nearly 30,000 foot soldiers.
The part eaten by the Han army was continuously divided locally, and the rest of the Shijie Zhao army was isolated before it was surrounded and annihilated, which involved the problem of battlefield scheduling, which shows that Xie An is also good at military affairs.
"The main thing is to use the soldiers' lives."
Xie An didn't look like he was modest: "An doesn't have much credit." ” Liu Yan didn't say anything, but asked: "What is the current movement of the enemy army?"
Like sending an envoy to Fenggao, Shi Hu was willing to send the Dragon Teng Guardian as a signal.

It is probably because of the logistical problems of Shijie Zhao Jun, and it is difficult to confront each other for a long time, otherwise Shi Hu will definitely be reluctant to give up his baby bumps.
Ran Min's later introduction also illustrates a point, the Han army in the main battlefield of Puyang is to use inferior forces to compete with the 190,000 Qianren soldiers in the hands of Shi Hu and tug-of-war, and the peripheral battlefield is interspersed with sweeps and strikes by Xu Zheng, Xie An and Huan Wen back and forth, and the battlefield covers a radius of hundreds of miles around Puyang County, which means that the logistics line of Shijie Zhao is also among the attacks.
In the same way, Shi Hu's troops on the periphery were also attacking the logistics line of the Han army, and the problem was that Shijie Zhao's army was facing many forts and fortresses on various key roads.
The second is that they did not know that the logistics line was not excessively necessary for the Han army, because the Han army's grain and ordnance did not rely on long-distance transportation.
There have been many examples of similar practices in history, and there have been many successes and failures, and the key point is that the main battlefield army with inferior troops should be elite enough.
Liu Yan has relevant data at hand, the main battlefield of Puyang has been fighting for seven months, and the strength of the Han army has dropped to about 60,000, which is the battle loss caused by the long-term back and forth between the two sides, and in exchange for the loss of nearly 30,000 of the Qianren soldiers on hand at hand by Shi Hu.
The Han army only achieved a slight victory of 0.5 in the casualty exchange ratio.
The Han army's armor and equipment are more sophisticated than those of the Qianren soldiers, which shows that Shijie was not able to become the overlord of the Central Plains by luck and accident, and it is not without reason that all countries and ethnic groups are afraid of the Qian.
"Min thought that Shi Hu would seek a decisive battle next."
Ran Min said that with a determined expression, he said with great certainty: "In terms of national strength, there is already a clear gap between the two sides, and if it drags on, it is likely that the Zhao army will become demoralized and even collapse without a fight due to logistical reasons." ” Isn't it because of this that Liu Yan personally led the reinforcements over?
It is beneficial to the Han army, which has an advantage in national strength, and it is more beneficial as the battle drags on for a longer time, and that is a matter on the bright side.
Shi Hu tried to seek peace, even if it was a temporary peace, the starting point was to integrate national strength, at least to loot enough materials for war, it was nothing more than that Shijie Zhao was really not ready for war, and it was impossible for the Han State to make Shi Hu happy if he understood this.
And they entered the city of Dong'a.
It was a city that had been turned into a barracks with the arrival of the army, and like the other cities, it looked dilapidated, and there were not many civilians in the city.
Dong'e is close to two hundred miles from the main battlefield in Puyang, and Liu Yan will come here mainly because of the location close to the river that can provide fleet navigation, and the land transportation is also in the aspect.
The main reason was that when necessary, the Han army could cross the Yellow River from the vicinity of Dong'e to reach the north bank, cut off Shihu's retreat on the back road, or directly attack Xiangguo and Yecheng.
"Maybe the general trend of the world will show big changes in the coming year."
Liu Yan stayed in a mansion in Dong'e City, and it is estimated that this mansion is also a relatively good one in Dong'e.
He waited for everyone to take their seats before he continued: "What we want to strive for is to lay the victory for the recovery of the entire Central Plains within a year."
The center of the Han State has once again ordered conscription, and the amount of conscription in the second stage is as much as 200,000, and the posture put on is really a decisive posture that will determine the fate of the country.
Counting the servant army and the slave army, after another 200,000 soldiers, the total number of the Han army will be close to 800,000, and the posture of the army is full of force, but the next year may really be a rare opportunity, and it must not let Shijie Zhao Guo take a breath.
Liu Yan couldn't let go of this opportunity, he couldn't dig a pit quickly and bury Shijie Zhao Guo in it, so he didn't want to take his time, his enemy was not only Shijie Zhao Guo.
"Your Majesty."
Ran Min still just knew that Liu Yan had the intention to attack Xiangguo and Yecheng directly, and after thinking for a while, he was full of excitement: "This is a snake hitting seven inches, which will inevitably cause Shi Hu to move, which is far more advantageous than the current attack and defense that relies on fortifications."
That is the problem of courage, the normal concept is that the enemy army will launch a decisive battle there, Liu Yan does not want to fight a fortification offensive and defensive battle, he must find a way to make Shi Hu move, but the risk in it is not low at all, for example, the Han army that crosses the river and fights deep into the belly of the enemy's territory may be wiped out.
Dong'e is about 250 miles away from Yecheng and more than 400 miles away from Xiangguo.
Baima is more than 200 miles away from Yecheng and more than 350 miles away from Xiangguo.
Judging from the distance between each other, it is Shijie Zhao Jun's side that has the advantage.
From the perspective of military motives, it was the Han army that had the initiative.
Liu Yan asked with a smile: "Yongzeng thinks this is feasible" "Naturally feasible" Ran Min is not a timid person, and it can even be said that he has a high adventurous spirit.
He couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "Whether it is Yecheng or Xiangguo, they are all key points.
Being able to take it will inevitably cause turmoil in the whole country of Shijie, which will be very beneficial to the future conquest of Shijie.
If it cannot be taken, it will also mobilize the enemy forces and give our army the initiative. ” The rest of the people were thinking, and most of them felt that this was too risky.
The reason why they will think like this is very simple, at present, the Han army has the advantage of national strength and logistics, and what it can't afford is Shijie Zhao State, what can be done steadily, why take the risk:
