Chapter 372 Like a stinger in the throat (Part 2)
The battle clouds surging, drums and music are playing killing, the iron flows surging on the eastern plains of Liaocheng, and swords and axes are forcing the Han army to kill!
On the other hand, the marching chariot formation gradually transformed, forming more than ten large and small formations closely combined. The Han army used chariots as walls and ropes as railings, spears and swords hidden in them, and strong arrows and crossbows were fired from all directions!
Hu Qi interspersed with the gap between the chariot formations, and the soldiers even raised their shields to face the siege on all sides. However, the chariot formations were quite far apart, and bows, crossbows, guns and spears in the formations were out, making the Hu Qi surrounded the soldiers and soldiers unable to defend themselves, and they died at an astonishing speed, which could not stop the operation of the Han army's formation.
Duan Shefuchen looked at the Han army that was advancing, and was so angry that his teeth were itchy. His troops were above the Han army, but the power of the chariot formation was not something he could deal with. Although Zu Ti's chariot formation attack method was far inferior to Ma Long, he sacrificed his attack power and increased his movement speed.
While fighting, they moved slowly. Although they were slow, they did not stop, more than ten miles were not particularly far away for the Han army. Once the Han army advanced to Liaocheng, the money, grain and supplies in Liaocheng would be no guarantee, and the money, grain and supplies of the army ahead could not be delayed.
Zu Ti believed that the chariot formation was invincible, so he took such an offensive, which was clearly bullying the Hu people, but his determination to advance to Liaocheng and cut off Liu Yuan's army's food route was unshakable!
...
On the south bank of the Yellow River, there was a calmness and frequent mobilizations in the court. After the Han Emperor Liu Chan took charge of Xuchang to handle government affairs, he moved south to prepare to use troops to overseas countries.
The use of military force is not trivial. The use of military force in China is supported by the money and food of various places, and the people in the occupied areas are also Han people. But in contrast, the overseas campaign not only requires sailing far away, but also involves a large amount of manpower and material supply transportation, how to rule and exchange foreign people, and many other matters.
Without careful and sufficient preparation, it is definitely difficult to achieve success.
Liu Chan's age is there, and even the general Jiang Wei, who is still on the battlefield in Hebei, is opposed to this. The land of China is almost unified, and its expansion has expanded to all parts of the southern coastal areas, which is a prosperous moment! At this time, you have to cross the ocean and distinguish between the strength and weakness of the foreign countries. Not to mention the benefits and the meaning, Liu Chan's physical condition is worrying.
Moreover, the use of troops in the north has not yet been achieved, and the south has gathered supplies and soldiers. The entire Han Empire was trapped in war, and the people were in panic all day long, and it was difficult for various places to develop normally. All this was not worth it.
Among the ministers and officials, such voices account for the vast majority. This time, even Jiang Wei stood on the side of opposition, and the pressure on Liu Chan was also huge.
But power makes people crazy, it has nothing to do with whether you are a modern person or an ancient person.
Liu Chan thought he was just an ordinary person with good luck, not a saint, and was addicted to power or was enslaved by all his strength. This was simply something that could not be distinguished.
When you want to do something, you do it, who can restrict the emperor?
Even if he could restrain the emperor, Liu Chan's previous killing and absolute power were not something that all officials could compete with. In this way, everyone's hope fell on Jiang Wei.
However, Jiang Wei was forcibly placed on the battlefield in Hebei by the imperial edict and was unable to withdraw and argue with Your Majesty in person. The ministers were useless in their advice. How many people cried and how many kowtowed and burst into blood were still useless. It was difficult to save Your Majesty's wishes. For a moment, the court was bleak and full of haze.
The Hu people were short of food and salary, but if they only focused on this matter, I believe that was the last choice.
Maintaining the stability of the plains, tightly guarding, and restoring the connections between the various regions is the safest strategy. Even if there are still possibilities, we must try to save the situation and eliminate the worst plans.
Zu Ti's letter was quickly delivered to the south bank. Although the suppression of the Hu people was fierce, it still took time to cover the entire coastal front.
"The ancestors, Zhifen, sacrificed his life to attack Liaocheng, is to create the last chance for our army. All of you are pillars of the country. You are willing to fight with Liu Yuanhai with this palace!?" After reading the letter, the prince Liu Dong suddenly stood up and slapped the table and shouted!
In the past, everyone would have agreed in unison, but what was unexpectedly unexpected for civil and military officials present, no one came forward to agree, but instead they were all in a crowd of people and no one said anything.
"Hmm?" Prince Liu Dong's face tightened, and a little anger surged up his eyebrows.
"General Zu is loyal to the country, which is actually a blessing for the country. However, this battle is extremely dangerous. The enemy is strong and I am weak and I am weak and I will win less. Your prince's daughter cannot be in danger. I am not willing to use Your Highness's banner to go to Hebei and go through fire and water without hesitation!" The leader of the general, a general, was a tiger-backed and bear-backed, with a majestic attitude, gritted his teeth to ask for battle. He was the tiger general Wen Yang, who returned from injury!!
Liu Dong stood proudly in the hall and said angrily: "This battle is related to the safety of the country and the country, and there is no need to be any mistakes! As the commander of the three armies, how can this hall watch the fire across the river and stay outside? How can the soldiers kill the enemy with their hearts?"
All the ministers present knew that Liu Dong was good at fighting, but at this moment, Your Majesty was determined to act alone. His Highness was the only heir of the Han Empire. Even if he lost his head, no one would support Liu Dong to fight Liu Yuan in person.
Seeing that the ministers were silent and were very resistant to their opinions, Liu was angry and looked at his close minister Qiao Deng. Seeing this, Qiao Deng understood the intention of the Prince's prince, and coughed slightly and bowed, saying, "General Wen followed His Majesty for many years and was extremely brave. He will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! I think that the Prince's prince should not be in danger of fighting this battle, and he can take advantage of the navy to supervise the battle."
"You...!" Liu Dong never thought that his close ministers were in this way, and he suddenly became angry and pointed at the ministers!
The battle clouds surging, drums and music are playing killing, the iron flows surging on the eastern plains of Liaocheng, and swords and axes are forcing the Han army to kill!
On the other hand, the marching chariot formation gradually transformed, forming more than ten large and small formations closely combined. The Han army used chariots as walls and ropes as railings, spears and swords hidden in them, and strong arrows and crossbows were fired from all directions!

On the south bank of the Yellow River, there was a calmness and frequent mobilizations in the court. After the Han Emperor Liu Chan took charge of Xuchang to handle government affairs, he moved south to prepare to use troops to overseas countries.

How many people cried and how many kowtowed and burst into blood were still useless. It was difficult to save Your Majesty's wishes. For a moment, the court was bleak and full of haze.
Regardless of whether the state of the country can support a huge expedition and two-sided battles, His Majesty's actions will cause a series of shocks between the court and the country, and the impact will be enough for the court officials to work hard to clean up. The recruitment of craftsmen, soldiers, money, grain and supplies from various places is a long-lasting and costing millions of dollars.
The war in the north was a just army for the Han people to recover the Han territory, but the war in the south had become the direction of His Majesty's remarks that he was very happy with and was very powerful and was very powerful.
On the south bank of the Yellow River is also the prince Liu Dong. The father and son reunited and separated again. There was no need to say much to each other. Liu Dong, who was responsible for monitoring the situation in the north on the south bank, could not go to Xuchang to stop his father's decision, and Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, would not give him the only opportunity to bloodline.
This body has its limits after all, and it is not young because of the youth of the soul.
Whenever he felt his body decline, Liu Chan felt increasingly unwilling to accept it. He could chat and laugh and talk about life and death, but when it was approaching, people often fear death.
Especially Liu Chan is only in his early forties, and his martial arts and cultural governance still has great room for improvement, and his merits and political achievements can be written very well. At this time, he will face death. No one will be willing, nor will he wait for death safely. I can do more, do better, and deserve to have all this, but now I will disappear?
Liu Chan was reluctant, but he also knew that this was not something he could control. It was not without a price for ordinary people and ordinary people to have the status and adventures today.
People often wonder that some emperors still have many battles in their old age and increase their martial arts skills. At this moment, Liu Chan has a deep understanding. To prove that he is not old and is still the strongest one, to drive away the haze that continues to accumulate and spread in his heart, this is the only way, or a last resort. When he holds power for so long, it is a habit to become natural to regard himself as having more than anything.
...
Crown Prince Liu Dong had no time to take care of Xuchang's affairs, but he was not unaware of it. He could guess his father's mentality.
At this time, even if you go to Xuchang to dissuade him in person, it would be useless. The southern expedition requires a lot of planning and time will be long. If the father could purge Hebei and expel the barbarians before his father's expedition, it would still be a turning point.
The situation on the north bank was not optimistic. The Hu army attacked with all its might on the battlefield on the eastern front, and the Han army was in a tight position on all fronts.
The Hu people's iron cavalry is not truly invincible, but it is sad to come up with tens of thousands of iron cavalry to come up with an effective combat plan.
The vehicle array is an option, but for the Han army, the war restarted at this time, and it was difficult to raise enough vehicles. It was already difficult to quickly replenish money, grain and supplies from various places, and the vehicle array in the Pingyuan Zuti consumed almost half of the vehicle in Hebei.
Prince Liu Dong shook his head slightly and rejected the proposal of the chariot. It was not because of insufficient preparation and it took too long, but because the speed was too slow!
The purpose of Liu Yuan's army to oppress the Han army along the coast was not simple. Once the Han Dynasty defenders along the coast were suppressed and unable to move, it was equivalent to the army on the south bank of the Yellow River that had to first defeat Liu Yuan's main Hu army after landing on the north bank, so that they could further reinforce other areas. This time consumption and the tragic extent of the war were difficult to estimate.
The Hu people were short of food and salary, but if they only focused on this matter, I believe that was the last choice.
Maintaining the stability of the plains, tightly guarding, and restoring the connections between the various regions is the safest strategy. Even if there are still possibilities, we must try to save the situation and eliminate the worst plans.
