Chapter 519. The Battle of Xiangping, open!
Jingzhou, the south of the Han Empire! The rolling iron streams are gathering there as if they are rushing into the sea. Iron-brown arrows point directly to the small Xinye County north of the Yangtze River on the map. Liu Bei's territory seems to unify the empire and turn a new page in history again.
At the same time, a fierce siege battle was launched under Xiangping City in the wilderness of the far north of the empire. Although it seemed a bit inconspicuous than the surging battle of the Unified Empire, the battle seemed to be a little inconspicuous, but later history textbooks recorded this battle was still extremely grand, because it was this battle that opened the most solemn chapter of the Han Empire's development of Northeast Asia, and it was also extremely historically significant.
The war must start with the negotiations. Although Wang Hou is rude and fights without notice at all, it does not mean that others are as rude as him. Yang Zuo took the initiative to place it on his way to the door with his mission.
Moreover, he traveled all over the world with reason, but he couldn't move in an instant without reason. He knelt on the ground with seven or eight deputy envoys, holding his fists, and Yang Zuo asked with confidence.
"Zhenbei! The Book of Documents says, benevolent people do not attack guilty countries, and do not add soldiers to those who are unreasonable! Our Liaodong Gongsun clan serves the general of Zhenbei as respectfully as this. Why is the general so aggressive and heavily added to my territory?"
Translated into human words, it means that for no reason, why are you here to hit me!
Seeing this handsome goat with a grievance on his face, Wang Hou really wanted to slap the table domineeringly and say a famous saying that lying beside the bed, how can others snore?
Unfortunately, this can be satisfying in my heart. Not to mention that my brother-in-law Cao Zhang is still watching with great enthusiasm. Even if his subordinates are not polite, it will be a problem to pass through Yecheng. So in the face of Yang Zuo's questioning, Wang Hou had to make a second statement.
"The Book of Documents says that it is not polite to come but not to go! My king, the emperor, was ordered by the emperor to conquer the north of Liaodong. However, when I was in office, you and the Gongsun family attacked without reason twice! Therefore, this autumn I will bring troops to come and return the rituals of the Gongsun family to conquer the Gongsun family!"
"In this way, I will repay your head, Gongsun Kang. As long as he has been attacked by me, the two families will turn wars into jade and wars, and I will never add troops to attack you!"
This is like a house, fighting is like a house. If you hit me twice, I have to exchange it for a while! Yang Zuo was stunned, but! No matter how ridiculed it, it is also a matter. After a long time of silence, Yang Zuo then felt sad and clasped his fists again.
"General Zhenbei, military and national affairs are not a joke. When a large army moves, soldiers are like ants, military pay is like burning, and corpses are buried for several miles. I hope the general will consider it!"
"When the head of the Your Family defeated me, why didn't he think about it? Enough! Go back to the city and go to defend!"
After being choked by Wang Hou again, he was stunned for a long time. After he finally clasped his fists and led the Gongsun family's seasonal group out of the tent.
"General, you promised the Gongsun family that if you suffer this blow, you will no longer be able to conquer the Gongsun family's determination to defend the city!"
Watching Yang Zuo leave, Lianjiao Prefect Zhen Yao clasped his fists on the side worriedly. Who knew that Wang Hou couldn't help but grin and hum indifferently.
"It's not my Liaodong army that takes the lead, what are you afraid of!"
Listening to Wang Hou's words, there were laughter from the entire tent.
Seeing Li Fu laughing on the other side, his nose was popping out of his bearded man, Zhao Yun, who was so handsome that his handsome man was so angry that his appearance was broken. Wu Qiu Jianqing, who had just joined Qingzhou, or the current Zhenbei Army, couldn't help but worry.
Shamelessness is not contagious!
…………
War is a continuation of politics. Before a successful and shameless old politician takes risks to fight a war, he will definitely make plans to maximize his interests. Wang Hou destroyed Xiangping not only to unify the Han regime in Liaodong. The knot on both sides of the Liao River speaks well, but also to weaken the indigenous vassal states in Liaodong.
Fuyu! Goguryeo! Even the Marine people who were nomadic in Datongjiang, the ancestors of the Jurchens, the ancestors of the Khitans, and the Wuhuan Rouran tribe on the grassland! A large number of Wuhuan Xianbei people!
Gongsun Kang knew that he had been exploited by Wang Hou to the extreme, and he had to use his hands to reduce the strong men of these indigenous peoples. I wonder if he would be angry and lose his stomach.
Five days after the completion of the fortifications in Xiangping City, Fuyu troops of more than 16,000 people, Goguryeo infantry of 15,000 people, and the 6,000 people of the Marai people who surrendered to Goguryeo also arrived as promised.
No wonder everyone yearns for the Central Plains in this era. After seeing Wang Hou, a man from Goguryeo, he feels that it is primitive and savage. These marshes are more primitive. The clothes are completely woven from animal skins and wrapped around their bodies in a mess. Everyone has different shapes of clothes. They wear animal teeth necklaces on their necks, and their long hair is decorated with animal bones. The weapons they hold in their hands are even belonging to the Stone Age, sharp bone spears, bone guns, stone blades, bone guns or bone swords.
But it has to be admitted that the primitive savages of Liaodong were also extremely brave and fierce. No wonder Wanyan Agu defeated 300,000 Liao troops by less than 5,000 people, and no wonder later Qing army Tatars entered the pass to maintain the combat effectiveness of the corrupt Eight Banners cavalry, and they captured these ethnic minorities in the mountains of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Heilongjiang to form the Soren Cavalry for many years.
Even Emperor Taizong of Tang defeated Gao Huizhen's 150,000 troops and released all the defeated tens of thousands of Goguryeo people, but he was afraid of killing three thousand culprits and the formation of the Marine Cavalry.
The savages who hunt and deal with wild beasts every day ignore life and dare to fight. The combat power formed by barbarity cannot be underestimated. It is rare. Safari needs cooperation, and they are born with a certain degree of discipline. After seeing this army, even Wang Hou was moved. If he recruited the most mercenary of a brigade, he would be equipped with steel weapons according to the main brigade and put it on the battlefield, he would definitely be considered as the top combat power!
However, while his subordinates gathered, with strong troops and strong horses and large numbers of people, Wang Hou was particularly vigilant.
You should know that whether it is Fuyu or Goguryeo, they still surrendered to the Gongsun family in Liaodong a year ago! As soon as he came, the two Fangguos immediately changed the hall and licked themselves! If there was another strong enemy, it would not be so difficult for them to betray them again.
If you are not a member of our tribe, your heart will be different after all! Before culture assimilates them and transforms these tribal chiefs into gentry masters of the Han Dynasty, you must be wary of them!
At the end of September, it was estimated that General Cao's army had already completed the assembly north of Xinye. The battle of Liu Bei was like in history, wailing him and wailing him through the Yangtze River, running all the way through Xiangyang, and heading towards Jiangling.
But this time, there was no Zhao Yun by Liu Huangshu. I wonder if anyone else was loyal to kill seven in and seven out of the vast Cao army, and took back his eldest son Ke Dou.
When the war in Jingzhou was raging, the battle for Xiangping City officially began. After surrounding the Goguryeo and Fuyu Army to the relatively flat southern position on the Liaohe River, the twenty Hui artillery that took the lead were first to be severely withdrawn from the military formation.
Chapter completed!
