Chapter 334 Confrontation

After another disturbing war, the Northern Liao finally withdrew its troops. At this time, the Northern Liao could only contact Hengzhou by some dead soldiers climbing up the mountains and bypassing the heavy blockade of the Dongping army. The Hengzhou garrisons repeatedly attacked, and were blocked by the imperial guards led by Tan Xiaopei himself at the exit of Hengzhou. Without any progress, Tan Xiaopei seized the opportunity to enter Hengzhou, greatly advancing Tan Xiaopei's schedule. The two wing advances of the Zhenbei Pass and the Blood Qi Army also made considerable progress as the Tianxuan Army's breakthrough in the middle. However, both sides were almost unable to fight.

The Northern Liao, who originally wanted to capture Zhenbei Pass, was taken precedence by Dongping and defeated Hengzhou, which was a great humiliation. However, as the front line extended inward, the geographical advantage of the Northern Liao army gradually emerged, and the Dongping army had to invest a large amount of troops in local governance. Otherwise, the resolute Northern Liao people might rise up at any time, harass the rear of Dongping, attack small units, and attack supply convoys. Dongping did want to adopt a strategy of being gentle to the occupied areas of Northern Liao, but no matter how gentle it was, it had to be safeguarded the rule and stability. Tianxuan Army and Zhenbei Pass defenders would spread on the vast ground, and because Heng

The state has a unique geographical location. In fact, the defenses of Hengzhou and Zhenbei Pass are relatively independent. The defenders of Zhenbei Pass cannot be invested in large quantities in the rule of the occupied areas, otherwise they may be attacked by Bei Liao. At that time, Dongping, which is gone, will not be able to withdraw the military force spread in Hengzhou. The Blood Qi Army and the Imperial Army were unable to help in this regard. They all came with Tan Xiaopei, and their mission was in Danyang. Considering these factors, Tan Xiaopei won some consecutive victories and encountered several troubles that began to occur one after another.

Although Bei Liao wanted to retake Hengzhou, it did not have enough troops now. Now they could only watch Dongping trying to dig the road directly into Hengzhou from Dongping but were unable to interfere. When Tian Xuan's army moved to Heng'an Third Formation and began to continuously arm the three formations that conserved the entrance of Hengzhou with Dongping's sergeant construction technology and heavy equipment from Dongping, the senior leaders of the Bei Liao army knew that it would become increasingly impossible to retake Hengzhou as time went by. On the other hand, with the end of the Zhenzhou war and the continuous training and establishment of the local garrison battalions and other troops in Zhenzhou, Yunzhou continued to withdraw troops from Zhenzhou. This time, Yunzhou's fast incoming and outing, and the tactics of quickly attacking Zhenzhou made people all over the world amazed, but it also added some worries to Bei Liaoping, who bordered Yunzhou and had no pass to control the ground.

What if the Yunzhou army blitzed at it? The Northern Liao Kingdom ruled the Western Route Army had already strictly ordered the Western Route Army to pay close attention to the dynamics of Yunzhou, and Gao Senqi had to take the Flying Tiger Camp back to the western front of the Northern Liao Dynasty to prevent the two routes of the Yunzhou army and Zhenbeiguan, which had strong continuous combat capabilities, would have really evolved into a dynasty war that would determine life and death. To be honest, although the people of Northern Liao were determined, they were still quite confident in facing Dongping, especially after Ye Tao's airship team appeared on the battlefield. They became increasingly unable to understand how Dongping's military technology developed. The equipment was inferior to people, morale was inferior to people, training was inferior to people, and even the generals were inferior to people. As for the northern Liao Dynasty's always weak food and fodder reserve foundation, there was no need to mention it.

When everyone was facing various difficulties, everyone stopped the war. Everyone stopped at the edge of the actual control line. After that, they were naturally scouts from both countries. Small troops harassed and attacked each other endlessly, turning the entire actual control line into a "national war zone" twice, but large-scale military operations stopped. Whether it was Yunzhou, Zhenzhou or Hengzhou, there were too few local officials. Fortunately, Yunzhou still had a large number of outstanding children of local aristocratic races to recruit, but Zhenzhou was suffering, with a vast land and sparse population. Many villages were recruited or migrated, and they were all poor people who had never studied. Only the governor of Zhenzhou could appoint local officials. Lu Dan was exhausted just for this matter. Fortunately, Huang Xuping had many students, and many people followed Lu Dan to Zhenzhou to do some pioneering work for the sake of Huang Xuping.

Hengzhou has another appearance. After Xue Yuan took over as the governor of Hengzhou, he did not even lift the control of Hengzhou, but continued to adopt a relatively high-pressure strategy. He recruited many civilians from the local area to build roads, and also stipulated the planting structure of the local gentry and wealthy families. He even crossed this class and the lower-level people to mediate, taught them more advanced agricultural knowledge, and even directly distributed food rations from the grain shortage to everyone's home. These are acts that greatly offend local families, but Xue Yuan could not control so much. Otherwise, he would not be able to do so.

While rectifying military affairs at the forefront, he managed the entire Hengzhou well. Even if Qiu Haohui shared a lot of work for him, he would not do it. However, this kind of thing that put aside the aristocratic families and faced the people directly, and did not require the other party to be grateful, but it was indeed improving the lives of the people. Many people began to secretly discuss the differences between the Governor of Hengzhou from Dongping and the Governor of Northern Liao in the past. Everyone said that Xue Yuan was still very good at looking disgusting and kind; and the general stationed in Daning was even more strange, and there was an extremely gorgeous armor...

Now, it is Qiu Haohui who is leading the frontier troops actively engaged in friction with the Northern Liao army, constantly adjusting various combat plans to prevent himself from suffering losses. Qiu Haohui is not very good at this kind of work. After all, compared with those veterans who have been in the army for decades, he is far inferior to Xue Yuan in the details of such things, but Qiu Haohui then played out his characteristics as a general who is good at learning. In any aspect, as long as he suffers once, he will definitely not commit any more. When the situation reaches Yunzhou, Ye Tao is very similar to giving him a sentence: You cannot use the same move twice against the Saint Seiya...

Compared with Zhenzhou and Hengzhou, which were in a hurry, Yunzhou initially solved the problem of the shortage of officials because it accepted a group of original "Xuyuan disciples" to become officials. Compared with Zhenzhou, which only followed Yunzhou's strategy for a few years and Hengzhou, which followed the inherent traditional system of Dongping, the governance of Yunzhou is quite complicated. The powers of various institutions are very clear, and the cross-cooperation between each other is also very good. However, this cumbersome governance requires a larger bureaucratic system.

In terms of military affairs, Yunzhou is even more abundant. Although the number of casualties in Zhenzhou after the war was quite considerable, and it took quite a while for the recruits to reach the qualified standard, Yunzhou had this time. Since the war started, it has been defeated by Jiang Xujing to capture Zhenzhou. In less than two months, Xiling's only reaction was to urgently draw troops from Zhongzhou to supplement Taizhou and form a new line of defense. When Xiling was struggling with the army to counterattack Zhenzhou, it happened to encounter Chunnan's efforts, conquering the city and almost directly reaching the Danan Pass. Xiling had to let the troops who were preparing to go north to go south. The Dongping army was still doing various actions at Xunshan Pass, so that military strength had to be arranged in the middle of the central axis from south to north. Otherwise, if there was another problem with Xunshan Pass, even if Xiling had strong national strength, it would be a waste.

Xiling's tight south and loose north are accused of Yunzhou's occupation of Zhenzhou, and there is no way to do so. Chunnan has been bullied by Xiling for many years, and Xiling cut off one piece of land after another from the country by Xiling. Even Tong Bingwen's failure to conquer Dongping, he used Chunnan to withdraw his troops back to his country without success. It was a huge shame for Chunnan. In the battle against Chunnan, Xiling did not seem to have only pointed the front of the enemy's strategic key points and army like in the battle against Dongping, and did not involve anything else. Xiling's army was afraid that Dongping would adopt the same strategy to retaliate, but did not have such concerns about Chunnan. The hatred between the two countries was so profound.

This time, Chen Xujing not only had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, sufficient supplies and high morale, but also strongly restrained by the allied Dongping. When sending troops in Yunzhou, Chen Xujing was ecstatic. He did not expect that Yunzhou would not move, and he would defeat the Zhenbei Army Command in such a short time. Although Yunzhou immediately reduced the pressure on Xiling, in the two months that Xiling could not fully consider, Chen Xujing's army actually fought a few beautiful battles.

However, the southern front line is different from the beautiful tactics that rely on the powerful power of the cavalry and the terrible speed of the cavalry of the Yunzhou army. They are all the results of life. The generals and officials under Chen Xujing had already been angry. After pulling out one town after another, there was a situation of looting the city, but Chen Xujing did not take care of it. After decades of occupation and rule, Xiling had already turned these places into his own territory. Those remnants who were eager to Chunnan died of old age, those who were the ones who were in charge of the people were old and dead.

Under the education of the family "We are Chunnan people", I was eager to see but couldn't wait for Chunnan's army to counterattack. Instead, I watched Chunnan retreat step by step and the second generation whose border was getting farther and farther away from him. Many people hated Chunnan's army more because of disappointment and anger than those migrating Xiling people. Not only did they not help, they also often informed the enemy. Indeed, Chunnan's fault caused this tragic situation, but Chen Xujing could not take this details into consideration at the first time. All he had to do was to attack and then attack.
