Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

Liangzhou.

The Liangzhou Legion is also very annoyed now. In this battle against Qinghai, they actually attacked passively.

Since Liu Chen ascended the throne as emperor, he said that the source of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River was Qinghai, which is the place occupied by the Qiang and Di people today.

The Liangzhou Legion was already secretly planning to seize this area.

Qinghai is surrounded by the Western Region Protectorate above, the Xiliang army to the east, and the Tibetan land of later generations to the west, which is now also controlled by the Qiang people.

This area can be described as a bitter cold land. Although there are many natural resources, the Qiang and Di groups are naturally unable to develop them.

Seeing that the frontier fortress in Xiliang is getting better and better thanks to the various cement and red brick constructions invented by Liu Chen.

Divine items such as potatoes and corn can even be grown in frontier places like Xiliang, and the yields are astonishing.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the soldiers work together, and life is prosperous.

This also caused many voices among the Qiang and Di tribes to surrender to the Han people.

Water flows to lower places, and people move to higher places.

They saw the changes in Xiliang, and there were also many Qiang and Di people in Liangzhou.

In fact, even Ma Chao has Qiang blood, which can be called a mixed blood for later generations.

This made the Qiang and Di tribes less resistant to integrating into Xiliang.

The Xiliang Legion, which had been paying attention to Qinghai, the territory of the Qiang and Di tribes, was naturally overjoyed and came up with a strategy to divide the alien tribes and defeat them one by one.

Today, many Qiang and Di tribes in Qinghai have secretly surrendered to the Liangzhou Army.

With the support of resources from the Liangzhou Legion, their lives are getting better and better, their soldiers are getting stronger and stronger, and their voices among their respective tribes are getting louder and louder!

Everything is moving towards the original plan.

According to the plan of Jia Xu and others, in another three or four years, when they control two-thirds of the voices, they can take a strong move.

At that time, we can even seize this land without any blood.

Unfortunately, the accident still happened.

The Liangzhou Army stretched out its tentacles towards the Western Region Protectorate, Wusun Kingdom, Dayuan Kingdom and the Kushan Empire, attracting their counterattacks.

Among the Qiang and Di tribes, there is a small Yuezhi tribe. They have always had contacts with the Kushan Empire.

The Kushan Empire was also an empire established by the Yuezhi tribe after they moved westward. They were located in the Caspian Sea and Afkhan territories of later generations and took root.

It happens to be bordered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions to the east, the Parthian Empire to the west, the Dawan Kingdom to the north, and the Wusun Kingdom further away.

These foreign countries that had had conflicts in the past finally joined forces under the threat of the cavalry of the Han army.

The Xiao Yuezhi, who had always been on the same side as the Da Yuezhi, the Kushan Empire, took the lead in attacking Xiliang.

Those Qiang and Di tribes who had already taken refuge with the Han Dynasty, faced the sudden attack and directly asked for help from the Liangzhou Army.

Jia Xu, Ma Chao and other Liangzhou regiments had to send troops to assist. But this passive attack completely disrupted their plan.

The soldiers of the Liangzhou Army all held an evil fire in their hearts and wanted to find a way to vent it to the Xiaoyue clan.

However, the Xiaoyue clan also knew how powerful the Liangzhou Legion was. Instead of confronting them head-on, they always fought in roundabout ways, just like guerrilla warfare.

The position they are in is the Qinghai of later generations.

The geography here is higher in the west and lower in the east, with the Tibetan Plateau in the east transitioning to the Loess Plateau. There is also the Qaidam Basin above and the rolling Kunlun Mountains.

The complex terrain, changeable landforms, and plateaus with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters pose an extremely severe test to the physical fitness of soldiers.

If it weren't for Liu Chen's six-fold increase in ability bonus in this life, the Liangzhou Legion would not have dared to go deep into the Qinghai area.

This is not the Qinghai developed and constructed by later generations, but rather a barbaric and cold area of ​​the Han Dynasty. The temperature difference between day and night is huge and the environment is harsh.

Marching and fighting can be said to be very difficult!

The most important thing is that the soldiers of the Liangzhou Legion have received a physical bonus and can fight in such plateau areas.

However, the horses under them could not withstand such a sudden change in the environment. Due to the sudden change in the environment, many horses died suddenly.

In addition, the Xiaoyue clan was dispersed, and it was nothing like the battles with the princes in the Han Dynasty, where tens of thousands or more than 100,000 troops fought.

The total number of members of the Xiaoyue clan is only ten or twenty thousand. When they are scattered, it is as difficult as going to the sky to encircle and suppress them.

In this battle, the Liangzhou Legion attacked passively and was full of anger. Now it is being beaten by the opponent's roundabout and guerrilla warfare, and it is even more annoyed!

If it weren't for the 'air force' of communication pigeons and reconnaissance pigeons, the Liangzhou Legion would be even more aggrieved!

After careful consideration, Jia Xu decided to proceed steadily and directly develop and construct Qinghai.

Various lakes and rivers were occupied along the road and temporary camps were set up.

In the camps of the Qiang and Di tribes who surrendered to the Han, red brick and cement houses were built directly. Fire pits and other heating equipment are on the agenda.

Now that they have broken their skin, the Liangzhou Army does not need to care about face and directly leads the army into the Qinghai realm.

Qinghai is rich in resources, including oil, natural gas, coal mines, salt mines, and many metal mines.

Nowadays, Dahan's industrial capabilities can actually be tapped and used. Of course, it cannot be used perfectly.

For example, oil and natural gas can be used to extract rubber, but with today's industrial capabilities, this step is simply not possible.

But the Liangzhou Army didn't care. These resource intakes were money, and money could feed back the development and construction of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, trade can be used to gradually encroach on foreign races.

Not only that, Qinghai is also rich in land resources. According to Jia Xu’s observation, cultivated land accounts for more than 50% to 60% of the land.

The cultivated land is still on the east side, that is, the side near Liangzhou.

If this is used to grow crops such as potatoes and corn, it will definitely allow the Qiang and Di tribes to have enough food and clothing.

This is why Jia Xu insisted on entering Qinghai.

Although it was not shown openly, Jia Xu secretly observed and verified that as long as it was the territory of the Han Dynasty, the output was more than five or six times higher than that of other areas.

Just like the physical fitness of the soldiers has improved.

Everyone knew it, but they kept it tacitly and kept it in their hearts.

If Qinghai stationed the Liangzhou Army, wouldn't it be equivalent to becoming a territory occupied by the Han Dynasty? So obviously you can get this bonus!

The western region is a pastoral area, which can provide the Han with a place to raise horses.

Although Qinghai’s glaciers, Gobi deserts and other places have a great impact on human activities. But there is no denying that this place is rich in resources.

The most important thing is that the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, where the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty originated, both originated from Qinghai.

Ancient people paid most attention to superstition, not to mention Liu Chen's ability bonus, land output doubling, etc., all proved the fact of God's favor.

This is also the reason why the Liangzhou Army is determined to capture Qinghai and has become an obsession!

If we capture Qinghai and occupy the origin of Dragon Veins, this will be a great achievement! They can ask Liu Chen for a reward!

After having a clear goal, Jia Xu and other Liangzhou Legion were no longer angry.

As long as they develop and build Qinghai steadily, they will gradually encroach westward. Even the rebels of the Xiaoyue clan were helpless.

If they attack, the strength of the Liangzhou Legion can easily defeat them.

Thinking about it this way, this tactic of waiting for work and recharging one's energy was deeply recognized by the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army!

No matter how provocative the foreign tribe of the Xiaoyue clan was, no matter how much they tried to lure them into pursuit. The Liangzhou Legion was indifferent.

Slowly and firmly starting from Liangzhou, moving all the way west, developing and constructing all the way.

Based on this calculation, at the speed of the Han Engineering Corps, it would only take one or two years to reach Tibet.

If they continue to advance westward, there will be high mountains and ridges blocking their path to the west.

Such as the Himalayas.

If there is a way to get over it, they can directly attack the Kushan Empire and the Shendu Kingdom

……

Just when the Liangzhou Army was formulating a plan to fight and advance, the Jingzhou Army, led by generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici, led by 100,000 troops, finally arrived in the heart of Yizhou.

Fa Zheng and other local generals in Yizhou welcomed the arrival of the Jingzhou army.

But when they saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other 100,000 troops, even if they were mentally prepared, they were stunned!

"General Guan, General Zhang, who are you?

Fa Zheng was a little surprised,"Although our Yizhou Army did not repel the Nanman rebels, we did not fall into a disadvantage either." No need to go to such great lengths."

A hundred thousand troops rushing to the rescue is not just a figure.

The consumption of people eating horse chews, the preparation of food, grass and baggage for the soldiers, the expenses during the march, etc. are all astronomical figures.

If Liu Chen had not personally designated Jingzhou this time The Yizhou Army did not need the Jingzhou Army to intervene in Yizhou's affairs.

This not only showed their incompetence, but also gave up their general achievements in vain.

Guan Yu laughed and said:"IWe are all acting for His Majesty, so we should go all out. If we neglect it, wouldn’t we be betraying the divine grace? Fazheng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at Zhang Song and other Yizhou officials, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Is the Jingzhou army having other plans?

Since the main purpose is not to wipe out the Nanman rebels, they also mobilized troops. When you come to Yizhou, you can't possibly want to occupy the magpie's nest, right?

Obviously, the purpose of Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou troops is to come to the Shan Kingdom in the southwest.

This is also the westward advance plan of His Majesty the Han Emperor.

It's just that the plan The offensive route is for Xiliang to advance from the Western Region to the army. Then Jiaozhou will attack from the waterway.

As for the Shan attack from the southwest of Yizhou, Fazheng and others shook their heads and laughed.

There are indeed rumors that Yizhou has a secret road leading to the Shan. Roads. They, the generals who have been stationed in Yizhou for many years, naturally know it.

However, the main problem is the tropical rainforest and high mountains and dangerous peaks behind the Shan Kingdom. It is a desperate situation with no road at all, unless an offensive road is forcibly carved out. Come.

But the manpower and material resources required, the waste of people and money, are not as good as directly attacking by land from the Western Regions, or attacking by land and water in Jiaozhou.

Seeing that Guan Zhang and others did not want to say anything, Fazheng directly revealed the reason, which surprised Guan Zhang..

Fazheng and other Yizhou officials were not prepared to see the jokes of Guan, Zhang and other Jingzhou troops. Although they belonged to different factions, they were all loyal officials of the Han Dynasty.

Guan and Zhang seemed to be moved, and sincerely discussed with the Yizhou generals. They want to open up a passage.

If there is such a passage for the future westward march, they will definitely be able to win the first attack, and Feng Houbai will be a no-brainer.

"I understand what you are thinking, but for this plan, we need to wipe out the Southern Barbarian rebels first. Only in this way can we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to exploring and opening up the road to the west."

"exactly."

The Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army have initially reached an idea of ​​cooperation.

Just when the Yizhou generals warmly entertained Guan, Zhang and other Jingzhou troops and discussed the plan to advance westward, the messenger hurriedly came to report

"Report! General Meng Huo, King of the Southern Barbarians, led an army of tigers and wolves to cause trouble in Yongchang County, Yunnan and other places.……"

The words of the messenger stopped the atmosphere of changing cups and cups.

Guan Zhang and others were even more overjoyed. It was better to come early than to come by chance. They were just about to go into battle to kill the enemy and win military honors.

"Why don't we take the lead?

Guan also heard about this Meng Huo leader in Jingzhou. If he were to be killed, the rebels would surely be leaderless!"

Guan Yu said eagerly, he definitely has the strength.

After Fa Zheng dismissed the messenger, he said to Guan Yu:

"Brother Yun knew that Meng Huo was not only brave in battle, but most importantly, he was honest and kind to others. He had a good reputation among the Yi and Han people.

This is also the reason why our Yizhou Army did not take any thunderous action and implement the beheading plan. If this person is killed, it will trigger a complete rebellion of the alien race.

If we can appease this person, it can be used to our advantage."

After Guan Zhang and others heard Fazheng's explanation, they finally understood why the Yizhou Army was in a stalemate with the foreign tribes.

If they attack forcefully, with the strength of the Yizhou Army's ability, they will definitely be able to kill the enemy.

But.

Zheng's view As said, the real purpose of the Yizhou Army is to recruit enemy troops for their own use. The plot is bigger!

After all, it is easy to kill the enemy, and it is also possible to capture the enemy alive, but it is difficult to make the enemy surrender heartily. Go to heaven!

"Will this move embolden others and destroy your own prestige? Guan

Yu said worriedly:"Will this kind of practice of being a thief and having no power to beg for surrender will increase the arrogance of the aliens?""

"I naturally understand this truth. Li

Yan shook his head and said:"However, if Meng Huo can be appeased, it is equivalent to completely controlling the barbarians in the southwest, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

What's more, Meng Huo knew everything about the southwest. Didn’t General Guan want to explore the way to the west? If this person helps, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

This made Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Jingzhou generals excited.

"Anyway, without further ado, let’s lead the troops to the front line. I will go to meet Meng Huo first to suppress the enemy’s arrogance."

"That’s fine!"
