Chapter 1380 The World Situation (4)
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
The battle of Duoqingjian brought Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's army back to its original shape. After the battle, except for the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City and the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, the Han army only had less than a thousand soldiers in the other cities.
After that, the Hanzhong Army captured all the cities on the south bank of the Wei River except Chang'an City, leaving only the lonely Chang'an City for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty now has 20,000 troops, Chang'an City at this time is no longer even as good as an ordinary state city. Fortunately, after defeating Guo Si and Li Jue, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty immediately concentrated most of the money and food from the cities around Chang'an into Chang'an City, so the army's food and grass could last for a long time.
But the problem is that Duoqingjian obviously has no intention of killing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. You know, although Emperor Han has no authority now, no matter who he is, he doesn't want to bear the infamy of Lord Shi, so Duoqingjian thought of this general. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty encircled the practice.
Today, the Passionate Sword has added almost one more county, and its strength has reached a higher level. Not only that, he is separated from Dong Huang's Qin State by the Weishui River, and Huangfu Chaobo's Tang State is separated by Tongguan. However, Wuguan In the hands of the Tang State, the Passionate Sword had to retreat to Shang County and Shangluo.
As for Dong Huang's Qin State, it was in a period of dormancy. Although there were more Zuo Fufeng and You Fengyi north of the Weishui River, today's Guanzhong is no longer the previous Guanzhong. Although it has not reached the point of having ten rooms and nine empty rooms, His vitality was also severely damaged, so under Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Huang is now seizing the time to recuperate.
However, although the Qin State was resting, Li Ru did not let his neighbors rest. The relationship between Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui, under Li Ru's provocation, has now become like fire and water. Although there is no war between the two sides , but battles involving dozens or hundreds of people occur almost every now and then.
Today, Xiliang, Guanzhong, has become a competition among four families, but three of them are NPC forces, and there is only one player force, Qingqingjian. However, judging from the current situation, it should be relatively stable for the time being.
Oh, by the way, if we insist on counting, Lu Lingqi from Beidi can also be counted.
Other than that, there are only Jiangdong's Yanhan and Jiaozhou's battleships, two slightly larger player princes. Then there are the other lord players who are affiliated with various princes, big and small. Some of them are slightly better, or they have a city and a county, and some have simply built a small city-level territory of their own.
After finally reporting all the information from Luoyang in the past few days to Huangfu Chaobo, Guo Jia also breathed a long sigh of relief and put away the pile of information in his hands.
"For now, this is the intelligence information Jia has received from various places. Oh, and one more thing. The foreign races in the north seem to be showing signs of uniting to go south. Please make your decision early."
Huangfu Chaobo nodded, his eyes still on the map in front of him. The situation in the world is indeed much calmer than before, not as chaotic as before. But on my own side, destroying a country seems to have reached a bottleneck period in development.
"From the perspective of filial piety, what should I do?"
Guo Jia was obviously well prepared. When he heard Huangfu Chaobo's question, he calmly took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Yi Jia has seen that the king has made arrangements for merging the state and led his troops back to the court. Although the Zhao Kingdom must be destroyed in this war, hundreds of thousands of troops fought for a long time and consumed countless money and food. Although Bingzhou has been successfully captured, the king has also seen the situation under Bingzhou. "
"Bingzhou was originally a bitter cold place. After Lu Bu took over, he imposed exorbitant taxes and did not hesitate to use the people's resources. Now Bingzhou is in devastation. Next, the king should focus on calming down the troops, nourishing the people, and restoring people's livelihood."
While the two were talking, Shi A came in from the outside again and said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang has sent a memorial from the Prime Minister."
As he spoke, he took out a memorial and presented it with both hands.
Huangfu Chaobo took it and felt strange in his heart why Tian Feng suddenly sent a memorial. However, it should not be an urgent matter, otherwise, it would be a pigeon letter instead of a memorial.
Huangfu Chaobo opened the memorial and only glanced at it twice, he knew what the old man meant. He smiled and said to Guo Jia: "The Prime Minister is already urging Gu Gu to lead his troops back to the court. It is said that the army has been fighting for many years and has wasted countless money. Now in the north It has been decided that we should lead the troops back to the court as soon as possible and stop wasting money and food. "
This stubborn old man had just received the news that Bingzhou was pacified, and he could not wait to urge Huangfu Chaobo to withdraw his troops. However, Huangfu Chaobo also knew that what Tian Feng said was true. These hundreds of thousands of troops did spend a lot of money and food every day. The battle to destroy Zhao can be said to have been a battle in which Tang State devoted all its strength. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
It's just that Huangfu Chaobo still needs to think carefully about the withdrawal of troops. First of all, Bingzhou is a mess. Now that he has taken over it, he has to clean it up. Lu Bu has been fighting with him for so many years. It can be said that Bao Bingzhou has already dug three feet into the ground.
If you want to say that the worst player in the entire game is, there is no one except Bingzhou. Not only the lord players, but also the ordinary players were greatly harmed by Lu Bu. In addition, when Lu Lingqi left, she took basically all the valuable things in Jinyang City with her. The entire Jinyang Palace can be said to be empty.
However, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't decide how to arrange Bingzhou for the time being, and he needed to think carefully. Now Bingzhou lacked everything, including people, money, and food. Even the direction of the troops was lacking. If he really wanted to withdraw his troops, he needed to think carefully about these things.
"Who does Fengxiao think is the most suitable person to guard Bingzhou?" Huangfu Chaobo suddenly turned around and asked Guo Jia;
"The king has already found a suitable candidate in his mind!" Guo Jia was stunned and answered immediately, but a cunning smile appeared on his face.
Huangfu Chaobo understood his thoughts, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Come on, you are a slippery guy, go and get busy first!" After that, he waved at him again.
Guo Jia bowed and saluted, and left.
Standing in the empty hall, Huangfu Chaobo watched Guo Jia's back disappear from his sight. He knew what Guo Jia meant. The selection of people to guard the northern border was a very important matter. With Guo Jia's wisdom, how could he let him make suggestions on this? Besides, he was not willing to participate in the arrangement of the frontier officials.
Yes, Huangfu Chaobo had a candidate in mind, and he was also a very suitable candidate, but there were other aspects involved. For example, although Bingzhou had all surrendered, it was the practice of the Tang Dynasty to separate the military and the political. After the generals were arranged, it was necessary to consider the personnel arrangements for internal affairs. There were more issues to consider.
