Chapter 947 Conquering Korea
"King Wu's generals are not only Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan, he has won over many famous generals over the years. After many lords in Jiangdong were eliminated by him, the generals are also owned by him, even Xiang Yan is also in his army."
"Sun Jian established six legions according to the request of the King of Wu. Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu each led one legion, and there were two Liangshan legions."
In the past year, Chutian has recuperated and prepared to expand his troops.
There are a lot of lords in the south. In the first year of the lord calendar, a large number of player lords received recruitment orders, so there are definitely a lot of civil servants and generals born in the south. When Tongque annexed these lords, it took Xiang Yan and others under its command.
However, from the perspective of Chu Tian, the northern lord, he is not familiar with the specific generals of the southern lord.
Fortunately, Chutian sent scouts to inquire, and basically found out the number of generals of the southern lord.
There are many famous generals in the south, Han Shizhong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Xie Xuan, Xiang Yan, Liu Renzhan, Meng Gong, and Wei Rui, a general from Nanliang that Tongque recruited a year ago.
These are generals worthy of Chutian's attention.
In the battle on the plains, Chutian could crush this group of generals, but combined with the natural moat of the Yangtze River, and the hilly and water network terrain in the south that is not suitable for large cavalry to fight, it is hard to say.
The most troublesome one is naturally the Jiangdong Navy.
Chu Tian didn't know at this time that Sun Jian thought he had betrayed the agreement.
What Chutian is most concerned about is the upcoming crusade against Goryeo.
After Mingguan destroyed Goryeo for the first time, Chutian planned to destroy Goryeo for the second time, completely destroying Goryeo.
This is also the first time Chutian launched an expedition to destroy other civilizations.
The war with Xianbei and Mongolia is still a war within the Han Empire.
The Liaodong Army is still the main force used in this Koryo crusade.
Not only that, Chutian used the Fubo army to cooperate with the Liaodong army to attack Koryo.
Liaodong Army 300,000, Fubo Army 300,000, totaling 600,000 troops.
The Jiangdong Navy has been developing for a long time and has rich experience in water warfare.
Before the battle between the Fubo Army and the Jiangdong Navy, Chu Tian thought it necessary for the Fubo Army to go to Koryo to gain experience.
"The Liaodong army took the lead in attacking the Koryo country. If the Liaodong army's attack was unfavorable, the Youzhou army and the Hebei army would be mobilized to attack the Koryo country."
The small book booth that book lovers used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using Changyuan Artifact app.
The Fubo Army cooperated with the Liaodong Army, and the main force to attack Koryo was the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army.
In addition, the advantage of the huge territory is that Chutian can continuously send troops to attack Goryeo.
Combined, the Youzhou Army and the Hebei Army have 500,000 soldiers and horses available.
The army all the way can't beat Korea?
Then two, three, until it is laid down.
Among the surrounding civilizations, Goryeo is relatively easy to conquer. Because of the terrain, it is more difficult to conquer Wa and Dayue than to conquer Goryeo.
So Chutian regards Koryo as the first target to try his sword.
In Liaodong City, Le Yi served as the commander of the Liaodong Army for one year, reorganizing the cities of Liaodong, recruiting soldiers, building weapons, and purchasing food.
The four legions of the Liaodong Army, the First Yanjia Army, the Second Tucai Army, the Third Guanning Army, and the Fourth Wuhuan Army, totaled 300,000 soldiers and horses.
Using the remnants left by the Mingguan forces, the Liaodong Army quickly became full, and disbanded a batch of extra low-level troops to save military pay.
Cao Cao helped the Fourth Wuhuan Army of the Liaodong Army to select 10,000 elites from the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties and train them to become famous cavalry in the world—the Wuhuan Cavalry of the Three Counties.

Le Yi received an order from Prince Xia's Mansion. The Liaodong Army he was in was the vanguard to attack Koryo.
The 300,000 Liaodong Army assembled in Liaodong City, and the number of crossbows prepared in advance reached 10 million, and the food and grass could be used by a million troops for three months.
During this year, the entire north became a war machine, providing various supplies for the great conquest.
unify the Han Empire,
By the way, conquering the country of Korea is just a small test.
Le Yi's First Yanjia Legion, in addition to Le Yi's 10,000 Yanjia, and Ju Yi's 800 first-time dead soldiers, in addition, two veterans Zang Ba and Sun Guan were also transferred to Le Yi's Yanjia Legion .
Le Yi himself is a veteran of the Chutian forces. Yan Jia has existed for a long time and has experienced hundreds of battles. In addition, Le Yi's commander has provided a lot of experience in military training. Therefore, the average level of 10,000 Yan Jia is very high. The average level has reached a staggering 90 levels.
Among the 150,000 infantry of the First Yanjia Corps, 10,000 Yanjia, 40,000 Liaodong heavy infantry, 100,000 light infantry and crossbowmen. Le Yi's command value is more than enough to provide bonuses to an army of 150,000.
Le Yi himself is a famous siege general, using a large number of infantry and crossbowmen to attack the city.
The second assault cavalry corps, Geng Yan and Zhu Neng, had 11,000 Youzhou assault cavalry, and recruited another 19,000 low-level heavy cavalry and 70,000 low-level light cavalry, with cavalry assault as the main means of combat.
The third Guanning Legion was temporarily handed over to Commander Zu Dashou. The core unit was 1,000 Guanning cavalry, and then a mixed army of 40,000 low-level infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen.
The Fourth Wuhuan Legion was temporarily handed over to Commander Gongsun Kang. Wuhuan King Tadun made great contributions. The core troops were 10,000 world famous cavalry, and 40,000 low-ranking light cavalry from Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes.
The four legions are the main force used to attack Korea!
"My lord ordered me to invade Koryo after the beginning of spring, and occupy at least half of Koryo before the cold winter."
Le Yi summoned the generals of the four legions, and already felt the high fighting spirit of the crowd.
"Zhu Neng, Zu Dashou, and Gongsun Kang all have experience in conquering Koryo, so it shouldn't be too difficult to attack Koryo this time."
Le Yi's expression was quite relaxed.
After accumulating troops and supplies for a year, if nothing happens, it will be a blockbuster.
Because the Chutian forces have a large population, delaying time is more beneficial to the Chutian forces.
It's just that Chu Tian didn't want to wait any longer.
Historically, Cao Cao went south to attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong very quickly. It's not that Cao Cao didn't know how to delay, he would be more beneficial, but Cao Cao wanted to achieve unification in his lifetime.
Chutian also had a similar idea and wanted to unify as soon as possible.
When the Liaodong Army summoned troops, thousands of warships from the Fubo Army assembled in Donglai County, Qingzhou.
Zheng He, Yu Yunwen, Zheng Zhilong, Li Sunchen, Xu Sheng and other naval giants led the vast navy of the Fubo Army to set off.
"Last time, we never had a chance to go ashore to defeat the King of Korea Li Chenggui, but this time, our Fubo army can finally come in handy."
Zheng Zhilong wiped his saber.
This time, the number of sailors and soldiers of the Fubo Army reached 300,000. Even if they went ashore to fight, they could defeat the 100,000 Korean army.
Yu Yunwen said: "Our strongest opponent is the Jiangdong Navy that rules the Yangtze River Basin, and it is said that there are even more powerful fleets in the far west."
