Daoma City had changed hands in just a few days. After the infantry followed, Chu Huan quickly advanced eastward and entered Daoma City, taking down the city at the easternmost part of Hexi. At this point, the entire Hexi had at least been under the control of the Northwest Army on the surface.

In the battle of Huangling, Chu Huan and Pei Ji carefully planned and prepared their own and knew their opponents, and achieved a great victory with great results.

There is no need to say that there is a tactical victory, but for Chu Huan, the most important significance of the Battle of Huangling is still based on strategy.

The Northwest Army conquered the city and occupied the territory. Since entering the pass, it was like a tiger breaking away from its reins and was invincible. The two key wars in Hexi can be said to have played an incalculable role in Chu Huan's overall strategy.

In the Battle of Wuping Prefecture, I watched the tiger fight in the mountains. When the Yi barbarians and Qin troops were seriously damaged, I took advantage of the situation to attack. Whether it was the choice of timing or the use of tactics, it was just right, thus defeating tens of thousands of barbarians and giving an almost fatal blow to the tribal forces in the Mobei grassland. At least within five to ten years, Mobei no longer had the ability to pose a threat to the Central Plains or even Hexi, so that Chu Huan no longer had to spend too much energy to deal with the threat from the north.

The Battle of Wuping Prefecture in Hexi not only defeated the barbarian army, but actually caused the Qin army to collapse on the Yanshan line. It can be said that Chu Huan only used the battle of Wuping Prefecture to achieve immeasurable strategic interests. The two major groups of Barbarian Army and Qin Army were also incapable of competing with the Northwest Army after this battle.

After that, facing the Liaodong Group, Chu Huan knew the strength of the Liaodong Group and even thought in his mind that it would take at least three or five years to defeat the Liaodong Group led by Chi Liandian. However, God seemed to intend to make Chu Huan's road to hegemony smoother. Liaodong changes abound and continuous civil strife caused the Liaodong Army to have a decisive battle with the Northwest Army in a hurry in Huangling, and the result was that the balance of strength between the two sides was quickly collapsed and broken.

The collapse of the Liaodong Cavalry Legion was just waiting for Liaodong's military strength to fall to a trough quickly. Although Liaodong is still not in his hands, Chu Huan knew very well that with Liaodong's current strength and using various means, it would be much lower than the time to attack Liaodong in three to five years, and it might even be possible to capture Liaodong within one year.

It is of course very powerful to Chu Huan to solve Liaodong as soon as possible. On the one hand, it can reduce the loss of the Northwest Army, and on the other hand, it can integrate the forces from the north as soon as possible, turn the gun head, and lead the troops south.

Although Xu Chang and Tianmen Dao were still in a desperate battle, and Tianmen Dao was also frustrated in Jinling, Chu Huan knew very well that no matter which side of these two forces achieved the final victory, they would quickly become stronger and become their main opponent in the southern region.

Although the war will cause extremely serious damage to production and will displace countless innocent people, Chu Huan also knows that the longer the war between Tianmendao and Xu Chang will be delayed, the more beneficial it will be to the Northwest Army.

Xu Chang has a huge Jinling warehouse as support. If Tianmendao wants to quickly solve the problem of Xu Chang's occupation of Jinling within a year and a half, it is too difficult. Xu Chang wants to wipe out Tianmendao in a short period of time, he can only be a dream of cannibalism. However, according to Chu Huan's assessment, that's true, the two forces in the south should be able to achieve a result in only two years at most.

If it is delayed by Liaodong and the southern war is resolved first, giving them time to recover their vitality and prepare for war, this will naturally be very unfavorable to the Northwest Army. However, if the Northwest Army can take the lead in ending the northern war before the southern war, then there will be a certain amount of time to repair the vitality and have sufficient time to prepare for the southward battle. Strategically, this is of course a great good thing for the Northwest Army.

The battle at Huangling actually made the strategic situation that was beneficial to the Northwest Army possible.

Pei Ji was originally preparing to command the retreat in Wuping Prefecture City, but Luo Duo promptly sent news about Liaodong to Chu Huan. Chu Huan knew that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come, so he immediately contacted Pei Ji and began to prepare for the battle of Huangling.

The Battle of Huangling actually consumed Chu Huan and Pei Ji's great energy and effort.

The Liaodong Army is a strong enemy, so naturally there is no mistake. All aspects must be considered carefully. Whether it is the sneak attack on food and grass in the rear, the tactics of the main battlefield, the luring of the enemy troops to divide the troops or even luring the enemy into deep, the ambush in the rear, each step is carefully planned, and the character of the enemy commander was analyzed, and the enemy was expected to be the first.

In fact, there are still many changes in tactical layout, and some changes are likely to influence the situation on the battlefield. For example, Qi Sheng did not lead his troops to pursue him deeply. After he could not find the enemy, he would first protect Xu Chang's troops on the mountain to retreat safely, and then attack the Northwest Army on the main battlefield from the flanks. This battle is likely to be another result.

Fortunately, Kou Ying was not Chi Refining Electric Power, and Qi Sheng could not compare with Chu Huan's subordinate Gu Liangchen, Wei Tianqing and others.

The Liaodong Army retreated to the foot of Yanshan Mountain, but the Northwest Army did not continue to attack Yanshan Mountain. Chu Huan knew very well that chasing the Liaodong Army to the foot of Yanshan Mountain had already achieved the ultimate goal.

After all, the Liaodong Army was not a mob, but a group of warriors with very strong combat power. The great defeat of the Liaodong Army on the battlefield was certainly due to the tactical crushing of the Northwest Army, but the Liaodong Army was centrifugal and suspicious of each other, which is also one of the important reasons.

Now the Liaodong Army has no choice but to retreat. Once the Northwest Army is killed, the Liaodong Army will naturally fight to the death for its own life. In this way, even if the Liaodong Army under Yanshan can be wiped out completely, the Northwest Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Therefore, Chu Huan issued an order early, and the Northwest Army chased after him twenty miles away from Yanshan, and then stopped moving forward.

When the front army was fighting, Chu Huan didn't have to worry about logistics supply. After the Northwest Army took over Wuping Prefecture City, Xishan had already begun to transport food and grass to Hexi. The corridor from Xishan to Hexi had been opened by the Northwest Army. Along the way, it was under the control of the Northwest Army, and the grain and grass were also continuously supplied to Hexi.

It was still early, and Chu Huan and Pei Ji were in front of a map, discussing the next strategy of the Northwest Army.

Before the Liaodong Army controlled Hexi, Hujin Meilong had already surrendered to Chu Huan. Chu Huan now had three northwest roads, Xishan Road and Hexi Road. In addition, Hujin Road had been surrendered, and Yuan Chongshang of Anyi Road had already surrendered to Chu Huan. There were at least five places in actual control. Naturally, Hujin Road and Anyi Road had to be completely digested into the Northwest Army system.

Although the Tianmen Dao swept across the southern roads and its territory was not under the Northwest Army, the area occupied by the Tianmen Dao was in chaos, and the various factions were in dispute and production suffered devastating damage. Its strength was actually not comparable to Chu Huan.

Looking around the world, after controlling Hexi, Chu Huan's heroes' strength was already the best. The so-called current affairs heroes, Chu Huan was able to grow rapidly because the Qin State was divided and the forces of all sides lived and died. Chu Huan controlled the three northwest roads early and had a relatively strong foundation. Therefore, after leaving the customs, he was invincible.

"There are only these two roads to guide Liaodong." Pei Ji pointed to the map. "One is to fight from Yanshan, and the other is to attack Hebei first. After taking Hebei, advance eastward to control Fuhai, and then you can drive straight into Liaodong. The two north and south lines. Compared with the two lines of Yanshan, although it is very difficult to cross the mountains, once it passes through, its logistics distance will be greatly reduced. Even if it is transported in mountains, it is much faster than the southern line. However, after Liaodong suffered this setback, it is no longer able to expand. They will definitely seek self-protection with all their might. Yanshan will also be their support and must be firmly controlled. Once Yanshan is attacked and this road is opened, the casualties should not be too light."

Chu Huan looked at the map, "From the southern line, you must first get rid of the Qingtian King of Hebei. Only by controlling Hebei can you open the passage through Fuhai to enter Liaodong. The Qingtian King had fought with the Liaodong army in Fuhai for more than half a year, and almost all the forces of the Qingtian King in Fuhai were defeated back to Hebei. The Qingtian King's strength should have been greatly affected. As far as I know, after the Liaodong army withdrew from Fuhai to Liaodong, there were many bandits in Fuhai Road. The powerful bandits who had been suppressed by the Liaodong army began to rekindle like mushrooms after the rain!"

"Second brother is going to attack the Qingtian King first?" Pei Ji asked.

Chu Huan said: "After the Liaodong people withdraw their troops from Fuhai, the Hebei army did not continue to enter Fuhai. Previously, the barbarian army attacked Hexi, and Hujin recruited troops to guard against the Hebei army entering Hujin. However, as far as I know, although the Qingtian King's men deployed some troops in the junction of Hebei and Hujin, they did not really attack Hujin. Brother, whether it is Hujin or Fuhai, the Qingtian King has the opportunity to take advantage of it, but he did not choose to send troops. What do you think is the reason?"

Pei Ji touched his beard and pondered slightly, then said: "At the earliest, Han Santong and the King of Qingtian faced Hebei. Han Santong finally lost to Fuhai. According to this, the King of Qingtian can only command troops and horses above Han Santong. Such a person, since he is determined to compete for the world, he will not miss any opportunity to expand. With his eyes, of course, he will not be unable to see when the opportunity appears. Second brother, you are right. The King of Qingtian did not take the opportunity to send troops, but there is a big problem."

"There are tens of thousands of people in Hebei. Whether it is to fight Fuhai or Hujin, it is impossible to do it with the power of the Qingtian King." Chu Huan frowned slightly: "But he didn't do this. I think it's only possible that something has dragged them to send troops."

"The Qin State was defeated, and Tianmendao and Xu Chang fought to the death in Jinling. Apart from that, there was no other force in the south that could compete with the Qingtian King." Pei Ji said: "And we have not heard of any force that has dragged the Qingtian King, so if it is really delayed by something, it is only possible that there is a problem within Hebei."

"Mei Niang was under the command of the Qingtian King. When the Qingtian King took Mei Niang to the desert to rescue the Black Jiaohou, I mentioned this to you, my elder brother." Chu Huan said softly: "According to Mei Niang, after the Qingtian King returned to Hebei from the desert, his temperament began to change. He did not trust the original Qingliu and White Elephant, and even Mei Niang. Instead, he promoted many newcomers to compete with the Qingliu and White Elephant. Is it possible that these people are internally fucking!"

"Of course there is such a possibility." Pei Ji said: "But according to my analysis of the Qingtian King, this person has outstanding strategies and extremely skilled skills. Even if he promotes new people, he can only be used to balance the power within Hebei. Such a person should have firmly controlled the overall situation and would never miss the opportunity to expand because of internal power disputes. If this is true, wouldn't he shoot himself in the foot?"

Chu Huan felt that what Pei Ji said made sense. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "If this is the case, internal disputes cannot affect Hebei's external expansion, then there is only one possibility!" He stared at Pei Ji: "The Blue Heavenly King himself is likely to have a problem."
