Chapter 749 The Northern War Breaks Out!

In Yecheng, 80,000 soldiers of the Wei Dynasty assembled, with black armor, dark lining, and long spears everywhere, like black clouds.

Wu Qi boarded the platform of worshiping the generals, and the two generals Wei Wuji and Pang Juan served as Wu Qi's deputy generals during the crusade against Guanzhong.

These three generals are already the first-class generals of Wei State, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and their opponents are mainly generals of Qin State.

"Of the 80,000 soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, 10,000 are soldiers of a hundred battles, 20,000 are elite troops, and 50,000 are recruits."

In Wu Qi's hands, the most elite Wei soldiers were Pang Juan's soldiers.

Pang Juan started fighting in all directions very early, and his Wei Wuzu soldiers were also the most experienced Wei Wuzu soldiers.

The second is Wei Wuji's soldiers. His soldiers have also experienced great wars, but they are not as experienced as Pang Juan's soldiers.

"The king of Xia ordered us to collect Hanoi and Hedong. If we need to attack, we must win, and we must win the battle. At the worst, we must draw."

Wu Qi proposed a very simple goal, but to Pang Juan's ears, his complexion was not very good-looking, and this small goal was very difficult.

There are fierce generals in "The Lord", who dares to say that he is invincible?

Even the most brilliant commander-in-chief will sometimes be attacked by fierce generals, such as Cao Cao being assaulted by cavalry led by Ma Chao in the Weishui River;

"80,000 Wei soldiers, how many Qin Ruishi will Guanzhong use to contend with them?"

Wei Wuji was holding a roll of topographic maps of Heluo. The most elite regiment of the Guanzhong Army was Qin Ruishi, and Wei Wuzu was also the elite army that Chutian used to deal with Qin Ruishi.

In addition to the 80,000 Wei soldiers, there are also two legions of Feng Yi and Chen Qingzhi, with about 100,000 cavalry.

Feng Yi's lieutenant general is Zhang He, who is already very familiar with Yecheng.

However, the goal of the 180,000-step cavalry is to capture Sanhe, step by step, and open the road to Guanzhong.

Wu Qi thought for a while: "At least one hundred thousand."

A civil servant came over and said, "weapons, food, and horses have all been counted. We only need the order of King Xia to invade Hanoi."

Wu Qi's army didn't have a military advisor, because Wu Qi's intelligence didn't need a military advisor, so it would be a waste to match Wu Qi with a military advisor.

However, the Jizhou Army has a special Minister of the Interior who is responsible for logistics.

This man was originally a civil servant of Zhao Long. After being captured by Chutian, he surrendered to Chutian and governed Jizhou.

The Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, mainly relying on the strength of Yang Su and Gao Jiong.

Yang Su, who was good at commanding the army, fled to Yizhou, while Gao Jiong, who was good at internal affairs, stayed in Jizhou.

Wu Qi was in charge of the Jizhou Army, and Gao Jiong became a civil servant in charge of logistics.

Although Wu Qi can also serve as a civil servant, after all, a person's energy is limited, and he has no skills to do double.

Next, just wait for Chu Tian's order.

In the Xia Palace, Chu Tian is deciding when to attack Guanzhong.

Once a big war is initiated, the entire Han Empire will fall into chaos.

"Old Qin has personally settled in Luoyang, and hundreds of thousands of people guard Luoyang, trying to stop my offensive. Mingguan went to Liaoxi, most likely to launch an attack on Youzhou, in response to Lao Qin. The time of the two actions was almost the same. Clearly premeditated."

Chu Tian marked the soldiers and horses deployed by Lao Qin in Guanzhong.

Wang Jian has at least 50,000 Qin Ruishi.

Meng Wu and Li Xin may also have Qin Ruishi.

The combination of Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Li Xin is similar to the combination of Wu Qi, Pang Juan, and Wei Wuji.

"The threat of Ming Pass is probably not less than that of Old Qin. The determination of the Liaodong Army to enter the pass is no small matter, and the Liaodong Army is good at attacking."

Chutian has already found out that there are Liaoxi Army, Wuhuan Three Divisions, Xianbei Three Divisions, and Liaodong Sixth Army at Mingguan, and there is also a group of Jurchen Eight Banners that Chutian is not very familiar with.

"Do you need me to lead the Shenji Battalion to conquer Guanzhong?"

Xia Liang knew that this was Chutian's most difficult and most important battle.

The various princes competed in the Central Plains, and those who won the north in ancient times,

win the world.

If the war in the north of the Han Empire fails, it will fall short.

"You stay at the Xia Palace and take care of the logistics. The Shenji Battalion is used to deal with Liaodong. There may be firearms in Liaodong. The Western Regions are not peaceful. We are thinking about expanding our power. The second Khan of the Mongolian Empire, Wo Kuotai, he We are also looking for opportunities to build a great empire across Central Asia and South Asia, we may need to speed up and take Luoyang."

Chu Tian intends to go out in person.

Wu Qi is a sharp blade, but to drive the cavalry to attack Guanzhong, Chu Tian still has to go out in person.

Lao Qin and Ming Guan put all their eggs in one basket. They had already fought, and Chu Tian wanted to meet the enemy.

"My subordinate Shan army has been recruited, and we can only train through battle."

Xiao Chuo shared Xia Liang's heavy responsibility to a certain extent, and her characteristics could also complement Chu Tian's.

"There is no need for other excuses to unify the Han Empire. We can launch a war at any time, but we need to bear the consequences."

Chu Tian has not yet made up his mind to provoke a big war.

Once a war starts, it is either a victory or a defeat.

After the defeat, all foundations will be wiped out within a few years, and he may even die in the war.

Some generals are good at raiding and breaking through formations, rather than fighting with large armies, such as Li Cunxiao and Lu Bu, even commanders may be attacked by them.

"No matter what the result is, we will bear it together."

Xia Liang held Chu Tian's hand tightly.

"Me too."

Hua Mulan also came over and held Chu Tian's other hand.

"Even if I am defeated, Wu'er, Xuan'er and the others can still take refuge in St. Petersburg, which is considered a way out."

Chutian is not completely without retreat, at least, there is St. Petersburg as a stronghold after the defeat.

Temujin fled from Mobei to the Golden Horde Khanate, and until now, Okuotai and Mengge still retained part of Temujin's power.

Joan of Arc was holding her daughter, and Roufu Diji, who lacked a sense of existence, was also looking at Chutian, waiting for his decision.

"Sooner or later, the Han Empire will be unified. In other words, this great war will break out sooner or later. Since we have chosen the path of competing in the Central Plains, there is no need to be afraid."

Chutian was deeply concerned about the unification of the Han Empire.

In fact, every prince of the Han Empire took the unification of the Han Empire as the highest goal, and the concept of great unification was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is different from the Mughal Empire in India. The states of the Mughal Empire in India tended to split.

The Han Empire could not be unified quickly, because all the princes were very powerful, operating their own territories, and united vertically and horizontally.

Even with the concept of grand unification, troubled times will last for decades.

"Order Wu Qi, Feng Yi, and Chen Qingzhi to attack Hanoi County, Hedong County, Henan Yin, and Luoyang!"

Chu Tian seemed to have made up his mind, and finally issued the order to kick off the prelude to the Great Northern War!

A single piece of order provoked the unification war of the Han Empire that had been silent for a long time!

The copy of the Battle of Jingkang and the Fourth National War once interrupted the unification process of the Han Empire, but now, after the national war, the strength of the various princes has increased, which means that the war will be even more tragic!

"Unification of the Empire..."

Xiao Chuo found that the scale of this war may be more exaggerated than the Han Empire's expedition to the Western Regions and Mobei, because this time the war broke out within the Han Empire, and it was too easy to supply troops.

During the expedition to the Western Regions, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were hard to come by because of the difficulty in supplying food and grass.

In the battle of Guanzhong, it was not a problem for both sides to bring millions of troops each when they were about to fight.

"The king of Xia ordered that General Wu Qi be the general who conquered the west and the governor of Hedong, attack Hanoi and Hedong, cross Mengjin, and join forces with General Le Yi in Luoyang!"

The order from Prince Xia's Mansion spread to Yecheng, and Wu Qi, Feng Yi, and Chen Qingzhi immediately rectified their troops.

The Xia Palace has finally officially started a big war. This time, Guanzhong, Heluo, and Longxi will be in full swing!

No matter who is willing to give up the power in their hands, the only way to decide the outcome is through a big battle.

In addition, a war can destroy the interests of local groups and establish a new order.

80,000 Wei soldiers, 5,000 Benming soldiers, 5,000 euphorbia soldiers, 5,000 Tang elite cavalry archers, 7,000 white-robed troops, and 8,000 white-horse righteous followers, a total of 110,000 special arms and 70,000 low-level arms. Leave Yecheng and attack Hanoi County!

Hanoi County and Hedong County are located in the north of the Yellow River. They conquered the two areas. They could cross the Yellow River to the west and attack the Xihe area, and they could cross the Yellow River to the south and attack Luoyang.

The mobilization of 180,000 vanguard soldiers and horses in Yecheng soon caused an uproar in the Han Empire!

Everyone knows that after the end of the national war, the princes within the Han Empire began to stand in line. Now, the Xianyang Alliance and the Xiacheng Alliance finally broke out to determine the northern hegemony!

Many people in the north began to flee to the south or some counties in the north that were unlikely to be affected.

The counties and counties located between the three princes are almost empty.

In order to avoid too many casualties and damage to the national strength, the various princes moved the border population to the rear except for the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.

"The war has finally begun, and this is considered an undeclared war. As expected, Wu Qi will be the main general to attack Sili from Jizhou. Is his target Luoyang or the Xihe area?"

Lao Qin was based in Luoyang and deployed troops along Mengjin and Mangshan.

An envoy came to visit, Wei Zheng, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"I need to rely on the strength of Nanyang. It is said that Tang made a tendency to attack Xuchang and delay Le Yi who is located in Xuchang. I don't want Le Yi and Wu Qi to join forces. Dealing with a Wu Qi has already made me walk on eggshells."

Old Qin looked at Wei Zheng who came from Nanyang.

To say that Tang only appeared at this time is undoubtedly a price increase.

Wei Zheng asked: "What benefits can our prefect get from it?"

"If you defeat Chu Zimou, the entire Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and even Xuzhou and Qingzhou will be his."

"Four states?!"

Wei Zheng was shocked by Lao Qin's big handwriting.

Lao Qin gave up the territory of the four states to Shuo Tang, just to gain the support of Shuo Tang.

Lao Qin's promise also has the meaning of a loft in the sky, because the prerequisite for obtaining the four states is to defeat Chutian.

"I will tell our prefect to decide whether to participate in the war. Nanyang County is a large county with a population of nearly 10 million and strong strength. I hope King Qin can keep his promise at that time."

"a man of his words."

"Farewell."

Wei Zheng left Luoyang City.

All the gates of Luoyang City are full of sharp-edged Qin Ruishi.

Qin Ruishi fought north and south without any major defeats, and his morale was high.

The advantage of Qin Ruishi over Wei Wuzu is that Qin Ruishi has been on the field longer, participated in more battles, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has a higher proportion of veterans.

Seeing the high morale of the Qin army, Wei Zheng felt confident.

If the Qin army has no possibility of resisting the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains, then standing on the side of Lao Qin is tantamount to seeking death.

But there are some chances of winning.

Risk means reward.

"Lu Fengxian pays homage to the lord!"

After Wei Zheng left, Lu Bu came to see Lao Qin.

"Xia Jun is approaching menacingly, do you have the confidence to defeat it?"

"I, Lu Feng, killed King Xia first, just like killing chickens and dogs!"

"If you can kill King Xia, then I will play the Son of Heaven and make you King Qi, and Xuzhou and Qingzhou will be your fiefdoms. When I die, I can even inherit the position of King Qin."

"really?!"

Lu Bu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that Lao Qin was going to make himself king, and that he might even inherit Lao Qin's inheritance.

Originally, he just wanted to become a shepherd of a state, and then a general, and it was over. Unexpectedly, Lao Qin planned to make him king and choose him as his successor!

"Father, the child will live up to expectations!"

Lu Bu kowtowed again and again.

Lao Qin really had nothing to say to him, and gave him BMW, beauties, gold and silver.

"We must do our best in this battle, otherwise, we will fall into Chu Zimou's hands and we will be killed by him. This is the information that my scouts found out. King Xia intends to bribe you, and then cross the river and tear down the bridge, and behead you in Luoyang."

Lao Qin threw a letter in front of Lu Bu.

"It's unreasonable! Could it be that King Xia thought that I, Lu Fengxian, was just a warrior, and would be so easily manipulated by him?!"

Lu Bu was furious after reading the contents of the letter.

Lao Qin thought in his heart, isn't it...

"In a year or two, the child will take the head of King Xia and dedicate it to his adoptive father!"

"Go down and rectify the soldiers and horses."

"yes!"

Lu Bu left angrily, thinking that his IQ had been insulted by Chu Tian.

After Lu Bu left, Jia Xu came out from behind the screen.

Old Qin said: "Lu Bu is like a jackal, and it takes a lot of work to control him."

Jia Xu said: "Only in this way can Lu Bu be prevented from alienating the King of Xia. The King of Xia can't give Lu Bu more benefits, and the lord has no conflicts with Lu Bu. This is so-called invulnerable."

Old Qin nodded.

In front of him, Jia Xu, Li Si and others, Lv Bu was manipulated in the palm of his hand, and he didn't betray him for several years.

Because of Dong Zhuo's lessons, Lao Qin has enough experience to control Lu Bu.

However, being king is already the limit. When the Northern War ends, it will be very difficult to control Lu Bu...

"If Chu Zimou is defeated, there will be no need for Lu Bu to exist."

Lao Qin is already ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
