Three hundred and fifty-seventh battle in the Yellow River (below)

On the banks of the Yellow River, there are several scattered camps, which are the military camps of the Later Han Dynasty, which are used for coastal warnings. According to the ideas of Emperor Liu Yuan and other emperors of the Han Dynasty, they should imitate the beacon towers commonly used by the Han people to stand on the coast as a way to defend and communicate. Hundreds of miles along the Yellow River, even if there are five miles per beacon towers, it is a very huge project.

Unfortunately, the money and food in the state, prefecture, county, and government are so small that it is difficult to deal with daily expenses, not to mention hiring labor and traveling stones and mud to the bank of the Yellow River for a long distance. Moreover, the most important things for the people in Hebei are naturally arable land. The so-called food is the most important thing for the people. Not only do the people need food, but the soldiers and generals of the Later Han Dynasty who killed people without blinking also need food and wages.

If the country fails to make ends meet the expenses of continuous apology, the throne of the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan will be out of stock. Fortunately, all ethnic groups outside the Great Wall have abundant reserves of money, grain, cattle and sheep, which is the wealth of all ethnic groups. Now that the people and horses of all ethnic groups are mixed together to distribute the various places, the money and grain are naturally handed over to the national treasury government and then distributed the same.

They were also under the rule of the Huns. When they were outside the Great Wall, all races formed their own faction, but now they are in the imperial system, with countless state institutions and much more detailed power than when they were outside the Great Wall. However, all races had old grudges in the past, and now they all serve in the court. Under the intentional arrangement of the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan, although they were greedy for a while, they did not dare to abolish the public because they were under the surveillance of others. They could only obey orders with fear.

The second thing is naturally to build ships. After planning, the rulers and ministers of the Later Han Dynasty still felt that they would take risks and follow their own interests. The soldiers and generals of the Later Han Dynasty had the ability and money to support themselves outside the Great Wall. Even without the supplies from Hebei, they would not starve to death. However, the Hebei region suffered from long-term wars and wasted land everywhere. It would take several years to restore themselves to self-sufficiency.

The Hu people didn't care about not having any extra income, but they were unwilling to use their money and grain to supply them to the Han people! But the problem was that the Hu people could not use the money and grain to let the Han people die on their own, but they could not use the hungry Han people to build warships. Therefore, allocating a large amount of money and grain to build warships in various places became the second major event.

"One hundred and fifty ships, is this number accurate?" Shi Le, general of Yangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, appeared in a remote camp along the coast. From outside the camp, there were no ceremonial flags, which were just the same as usual.

"We will count them and then compare them. The error should be around ten ships." The scout captain in charge of the investigation said respectfully, very confident about the hard work of himself and his subordinates.

He nodded slowly, Shi Le thought carefully and said, "Continue to keep monitoring and retreat."

"Yes!" The scout captain walked happily when he saw that Shi Le was not saying anything and accepted his information.

Since the pseudo-Han crossed the Yellow River to fight Hebei, as the only undefeated Xiongnu general, Shi Le and others' reputation has increased greatly. Although their official position is only General Yangwu, the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan specially allowed him to have two thousand troops under his command. In other words, Shi Le was just a general, but he had his own power. This is something that many patriarchs envied. Unfortunately, there was no such merit as Shi Le made, so he could only envy him.

"Your Majesty is determined to take a risky battle. Since the lord has been entrusted with important tasks, can he have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Jing, the general who fought against the enemy, asked softly. The guards outside the camp were Shi Le's confidants, and there were only two people in the tent, but Zhang Jing was still very cautious.

Shi Le shook his head and said, "The pseudo-Han warships dispatched to the sea one after another were probably close to 70% of the combat power of the Yellow River Navy. Such a large-scale mobilization was made by Liu Dong'er, what can I do if I could do it?"

"The pseudo-emperor intends to hand over the power of the state, and Liu Dong, as the pseudo-prince, naturally has this right. This time, His Royal Highness's plan is very good. Isn't God helping us so careless?" Zhang Bin and others who once followed Shi Le had long been dispatched to other areas. Now only Zhang Jing's army is ordered to wait for Shi Le's dispatch.

Shi Le stood up and sighed, "Even so, our warships did not have the means to land at will like the pseudo-Han navy. They could only attack the ferry along the coast. As long as the other party retreated at the ferry to defend against the enemy, we would probably have a chance to cross the Yellow River..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing's face changed. At that time, everyone was on the warship. It was really hard to say who could step on the land or who fell into the Yellow River to feed the fish. Fighting on the battlefield was a gambling life, and no one could guarantee that he would be in danger. But as long as he was on the land, he would have the opportunity to fight. When he was on the warship, he was chased and killed by the pseudo-Han navy. He felt completely powerful and had nowhere to use it. Even the general who had been through the battlefield for a long time looked at the face of the battle. The more he thought about it, the more he looked ugly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jing sighed, "It is precisely because of this risk that Your Majesty wants to bet this time. If the lord is not optimistic about this military use, he will be ill..."

The strategy of going south to attack the Central Plains will not change anymore. Shi Le, as the general of the general, was the candidate appointed by the Emperor Liu Yuan of the Later Han Dynasty. If he wanted to stay out of the matter, he could only get out of it. Otherwise, if he really went to the battlefield, he would have no chance to escape once he encountered the enemy. He would not even have the chance to escape when he encountered the enemy. He would go to feed the fish in a daze and survive without fighting the reputation.

"Now you and I are in the court, so we can only obey our orders. If we use excuses to avoid the war, we will not have the opportunity to stand out again in the future. What do you think about the recent actions of the fake prince Liu He?" Shi Le's face was dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, if Zhang Bin was here, I believe he would definitely give him an answer, but his capable arms were all assigned to various places, and he could do nothing.

Zhang Jing pondered: "The pseudo-Han prince was young and experienced in governance. He not only made full use of the new environment opened by his father, but also had far-reaching considerations hidden in it. He was a rare talent. To be fair, he could only be above His Royal Highness!"

"Will such a person make such an impulsive mistake?" Shi Le asked almost to himself, which was equivalent to agreeing with Zhang Jing's evaluation of the pseudo-Han crown prince Liu Dong and the Later Han crown prince Liu He. All political affairs in the world can be handled in a very meticulous manner and arranged completely according to his own wishes. Is such a person really so unbearable in military affairs?

"It is inevitable that the young man will be in power. What can the lord have? " Zhang Jing could hear Shi Le's suspicion about all the reactions made by the Han army at present, and asked unconsciously. In fact, he did not fail to consider it according to Shi Le's ideas, but what he got was nothing, and he had no way to test the real intentions of the enemy country.

Shi Le thought for a while and said softly: "If the pseudo-Han is prepared, once our army launches an offensive, it will inevitably be attacked suddenly. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops will be criticized and all the supplies will fall into the Yellow River."

Zhang Jing was able to become Shi Le Xinzhong's deployment and follow him, so he naturally had his own unique features. At this moment, he thought according to Shi Le's ideas: "If I am the prince of the pseudo-Han, I can transfer a large number of warships from the Yellow River to wait on the sea. When the enemy thinks that he succeeds, the navy will return to the rescue and cut off its retreat. He will win a great victory under the heavy army!"

"Yes! We have no way to determine the reality of the fake Han Dynasty, and we cannot alarm the enemy. We can only act cautiously, and we must succeed even if we spend too much effort!" Shi Le's firm eyes were equally firm and confident, and he said confidently.

"But if you offer suggestions at this moment, if you don't say it, the generals of each unit will not want to." Zhang Jing said without any hesitation. After all, Shi Le was only responsible for a partial army. Now that the strategy of the Later Han army has been established and is about to break out, at this time, let's not talk about the final result, it will definitely make the army very unhappy.

Shi Le smiled slightly and said, "I had no intention of making this matter public. Life and death on the battlefield are all based on personal means. If our army does not establish achievements in this battle, we should not give up others to make it cheaper? Ha!"

As the sky became darker, Shi Le and Zhang Bin led more than ten cavalry followers to leave the camp along the coast and return to their base, preparing to write a letter to the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan to apply for changes to the combat plan of the two teams.

...

After dinner, Wang Mi still did not come out of the study room. The food was placed at the door. None of the servants in the mansion dared to go into the study room to disturb him by disobeying Wang Mi's orders.

"Bad plan! How many people will die??" Wang Mi, who had not yet finished his water for a day, cursed in the study room. On the wall, on the table, and even on the ground, maps were drawn in disgrace, and only Wang Mi could understand them.

The dim candlelight projected Wang Mi's crazy figure on the wall, and the figure suddenly trembled violently with laughter. After a sudden breath, Wang Mi finally calmed down and sat on the ground muttering to himself. Suddenly, he climbed a few steps, took out a stack of paper under a pile of maps and flipped through it quickly, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

"Hmph! As expected, the generals and tribes went to war, as I expected, to kill people with a knife and eliminate dissidents, such a cruel method, Your Majesty!" Wang Mi narrowed his eyes and flashed his murderous intention and said to himself. After checking the generals and troops of each army, he finally confirmed the thought he had just begun.

"Let me take a look..." After sitting up, Wang Mi casually dialed out an open space and started drawing on the ground according to the list recorded on the paper. After a while, he finally got his own position.

"According to the existing tactics, here, here, and here should be the most dangerous place... Here, here, here is afraid of suffering a catastrophe... I am not in the dangerous place, but I cannot control the situation of the battle, so I cannot participate in this battle!" Wang Mi stood up with his knees and wiped his forehead sweat.

His Majesty and his son's plan has been mastered, but it cannot be said that he has saved many tribes and generals who resisted the rule of the court, but he has sent himself to the guillotine. According to the tactics arranged by Liu Yuan and his son, the soldiers and generals who were sent to the main battlefield on the front line were all seriously dissatisfied with the feudal divisions and generals after the founding of the Later Han Dynasty.

The emotions of these people may not be so exaggerated, but since Liu Yuan established a supervision agency similar to Hu Leique in accordance with the pseudo-Emperor Liu Chan, he has been very successful in resisting the intelligence spy against the pseudo-Han, and has been much more sensitive to controlling the movements in the court than before.

Since Your Majesty and his son believe that these people need to be eliminated, it is understandable to send them to the forefront to die. Their position is far behind, obviously it is just a formality. But even so, it is not a risk-free task. How could Wang Mi choose to compare with those guys who are still ignoring their vanguards and making contributions when they die?

"Come on, invite General Wang!" Wang Mi opened the door, sat on the threshold, chewed and shouted slowly, as if he had some new understanding of his future.

"Flying Leopard, why are you eating here? How do you serve me?" Not long after, the guard Wang Yan arrived when he heard the news. Seeing Wang Mi sitting on the threshold eating cold rice, he was angry and scolded the servants!

"You go back. Guard Wang, please follow me." Wang Mi smiled slightly, threw the meal on the ground, got up and pulled Wang Yan into the study. The subordinates trembled and picked up the dishes and left in a hurry. You must know that Wang Mi has regulations. No one is allowed to approach the study within three meters in a radius. Only by listening to the summons can he enter this range.

"Why are you so nervous about Fei Bao?" Wang Yan was a general from the Northern Camp. Now, relying on his relationship to serve as a guardian, he is vaguely half a level higher than Wang Mi.

Wang Mi smiled and said, "Since you and I are all the people, I have to say some ideas, so look at this picture." After that, Wang Mi pointed to a map on the wall, which was painted with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which made people fascinated. The study room was extremely neat, and the original chaos and chaos were actually gone by Wang Mi for a long time.

"This map is... a bit big..." Wang Yan was also a general in the army. Seeing that this map not only included the areas to fight next, but also included the entire Central Plains and even the mountains and rivers outside the pass, he couldn't help but have a strange idea.

Wang Mi smiled slightly, drew a circle on one of the map, and began to slowly explain his tactics...

...

In the Yedu Palace, the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan threw two twists and turns to Liu Yao who was beside him. As Liu Yuan's adopted son, Liu Yao is now the official position of General Zhengnan, and is specializing in the combat plan for the Central Plains.

"Wang Mi and Shi Le's proposals are both unique and advisable, and my son has no objection." Liu Yao saw that the two twists and turns were written by Shi Le and Wang Mi, and requested to change the combat plan of his troops. Even if Liu Yao had always been conceited with his strategy, he would not be amazed after reading it now.

The Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan smiled and said, "The two of them don't know the follow-up battle you arranged by Yongming. Although this proposal is feasible, others need to be sent to these two places instead. Can someone choose?"

"My father has the power to govern countless famous generals. Even if there is no Shi Le, Wang Mi should be replaced by others. Please rest assured. Besides, if these two generals are successful, it will be a hundred miles to the situation of our army without any harm. You might as well allow it." The combat plan announced before is only part. In fact, although this military operation was the idea of ​​Prince Liu He, all plans were discussed by the Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan and General Liu Yao, General Zhengnan, and many of them were not announced as a confidential part.

The Later Han Emperor Liu Yuan nodded and smiled, "I should be relieved if you have Yongming in the middle to dispatch it. I rely on you to do a multi-pronged approach to this arrangement, and the prince will entrust you to you in the future." When Liu Yuan said this, he showed some true feelings, which scared Liu Yao so much that he knelt on the ground.

...

The sun was scorching, and swords and guns were dazzling. The Han army was struggling to resist the attacks of the Later Han soldiers at the Dongling Pass. Na Chadang held a shield in one hand and a meteor hammer in the other, and the commander of five hundred heroes climbed up the wall. Before the man reached the stone wall, the strong bow and crossbow actually shot up and shot against the Han army!

"This kind of elbow is an elite, prepared by wood and stone!" The Han general Zheng Chuo was slightly surprised to see this. The Hu people had such an elite infantryman, which was unprecedented.

With a loud bang, Cha led the way to the stone wall and climbed up with his hands and feet. The sound of the meteor hammer hitting the stone wall was amazing, and everyone who heard it was terrified!

Nearly two hundred elite Hu people stood at the pass and kept shooting the Han army at the pass. The Han army was not as strong as the other party, and the space on the pass was limited for the time being. The shield players in the front were responsible for blocking arrows and the soldiers who were guarding the wooden and stones. The crossbow players behind seemed to have a small space, and the number of people invested was not as good as the other party.

"Come on, beat the drum!" Liu Sheng, General Zhenwei of the Later Han Dynasty, shouted happily. Chadang believed that he could break the barrier in less than half an hour!

The Han army on the stone wall kept getting arrows. Some people turned around and fell to the gate and fell to death, while others collapsed on the top of the city. The people behind wanted to continue the guard mission, and wanted to support or move the comrades in front of them. They were in a hurry and were shot and killed. Few wood and stones fell down to attack the enemy who climbed the city wall.

The stone fell heavily and slammed on the shield with a bang. Cha, who was protecting the shield, showed a ferocious look on his face. He waved his arms and threw the stone under the city. After grabbing a protruding stone, the meteor hammer in his other hand hit the stone wall again!

"You guys can climb the city with one drum!" Hearing the sound of war drums behind him, Chadang shouted with passion, and the climbing speed couldn't help but speed up a lot.

"Hurry throwing, and bringing all the crossbowmen up! Damn it!" Seeing the soldiers in chaos on the pass, the Han general Zheng Chuo quickly raised his arms and shouted. However, the morale of the army was in chaos and the opponent shot hard. The narrow space that was originally conducive to defense became a fatal weakness of the Han army's operation!

"Wow!" With a scream, two or three Hu infantrymen on the flank swung their swords and axes to jump to the top of the city, stepping on the bodies of the Han people and chopping the chaotic Han soldiers on the top of the city.

"Yeah!? Come with me!" Zheng Chuo was furious when he saw this, and drew his sword and wanted to go forward to fight.

"I can't hold on anymore, general, run away!" A captain was waiting to be dissuaded, but was hit hard on the head by a meteor hammer. His brain burst and his head was shattered and his tragic death on the spot!

"Run? Do you allow me, uncle?" The Later Han general Chadang climbed the meteor hammer and killed Zheng Chuo without saying a word, and he was extremely contemptuous of the Han army!

Zheng Chuo felt a chill in his heart, but saw more than ten figures rushing up to the city, secretly yelling that something was wrong. However, the other party was fierce and there were crowds on his left and right. How could he avoid it? He could only wave his sword and slash hard!

The meteor hammer was knocked away by a long sword. Zheng Chuo's mouth was still clenched, and his hands were still holding the big knife tightly. He stepped back and shouted: "The whole army retreats, one is running! Retreat quickly!" After saying that, he kicked his feet hard, twisted his body and swung his sword to rush forward to the big knife flying and slashing!

Now that things have come to this point, the pass cannot be defended, so I can only fight to the death!

With a bang, Zheng Chuo's chest was sunken with his armor, and blood stains kept oozing out, and he died with his eyes open. Before that, he could only regret it. Even if the Goguryeo people understood the truth, they had no practical experience. This pass was dangerous for the Goguryeo soldiers, but it might not be difficult for the Hu people with rich means.

On the contrary, instead of thinking carefully, I blindly believed the advice of the Goguryeo people, which led to a crushing defeat. It can be said that I have more than death. Although I have more than death, how can I be so willing to do this...
