Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 647 Farewell My Concubine

Chapter 645: Farewell My Concubine

Zhang Sheng's generous words swept away the haze in most people's hearts.

Everyone knew in their hearts that continuing to fight to the death would only increase casualties, while retaining their strength would still give them a chance to make a comeback.

At this point, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the generals. Although the road ahead has become more difficult, as long as there is a breath left, they will never give up the struggle.

Seeing the hope in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Sheng was also full of relief, as long as there were these people in Daming, they would not die.

The three mountain bases respectively refer to the Taihang Mountains located between the two prefectures, the Taihang Mountains located between the three states of Qing, Yan and Xu, and the Dabie Mountains at the junction of the three states of Xu, Yu, Yan and Jianghuai.

These three mountain ranges are stretches of thousands of miles, and their interior space is wide and rich in materials. Even millions of people can be self-sufficient. The terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Yan in the original history only occupied the Montenegro at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, but resisted the Han for more than ten years.

According to "The Biography of Huangfu Song in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty": "After the Yellow Turban Thieves, there have been Heishan, Huanglong, Baibo, Zuojiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Digen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuohouzhangba, Yang Feng , In Du, Wulu, Li Damu, Bairao, Suigu, Kusui, Luoshi, and in the valleys, there are countless. The big ones are [-] to [-], and the small ones are six or seven thousand. Zhang Yan, a thief from Changshan He communicated with the bandits in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi in various valleys.

From this, it can be seen that the active area of ​​the Black Mountain Army is in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places.

The peaks of the Taihang Mountains are stacked one after another, with an altitude of more than [-] meters. The southeast of the mountain range is the Hebei Plain, and the northwest is the Shanxi Plateau.

The topographical feature of the Taihang Mountains provides more convenient conditions for the mutual communication and strategic cooperation between the various departments of the Montenegrin Army distributed in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Yan was only a leader of the Yellow Turbans. Relying on the geographical advantage of Montenegro at the southern end of Taihang, he repelled countless encirclements and suppression by officers and soldiers, and was active until the Battle of Guandu, when he surrendered to Cao Cao.

And Zhang Sheng is the emperor of Daming, with resources far more than a hundred times that of Zhang Yan, so of course he will not only occupy one Taihang.

This battle has not been completely defeated, so Daming still has a lot of resources, so when Taihang was opened up, Taishan and Dabie Mountains were also opened up as bases for Tibetan troops.

As early as a year ago, Zhang Liang had already started preparations in secret. Now not only has the Sanshan base area been established, but also most of the defense system has been completed. Not a single soldier was caught.

Now the three major mountain ranges are filled with hundreds of thousands of Ming army family members, and they are no longer so desolate.

And as long as another 10 people are moved inland, Daming can completely close the mountain gates and hide in the mountains to become a country within a country.

After determining the strategy of retreating to the deep mountains, the rest is to delay the time, and move the people who will continue to follow Daming voluntarily to prepare for the endless encirclement and suppression of the big Han in the future.

Zhang Sheng glanced at the generals, took a long breath, and said solemnly:

"Pass on my will, move all the people who are willing to follow, and enter the 'Sanshan' base area. The defenders in various places try their best to stick to it, then give up all the territories, and the whole army retreats into the 'Sanshan' base area."

"No." The generals shouted in unison.

As for the candidates for the leaders of the three major bases, Zhang Sheng had already made up his mind.

Dou Jiande, the governor of Jizhou, died of a recurrence of old injuries shortly after Zhang Sheng's arrival. Zhang Sheng took over the entire Ming army in Jizhou, so the Taihang Mountains between Jizhou and Ji naturally belonged to Zhang Shenglai himself.

Dabie Mountain is located between Xuzhou and Jianghuai, and now the Ming army has only one Zhu Yuanzhang in Jianghuai. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been loyal to Zhang Sheng and Daming, so he is naturally the best choice for commander.

What really gave Zhang Sheng a headache was the candidate for the leader of Taishan District. Xiang Yu and Li Zicheng, who were sticking to Yanzhou, were both qualified.

Zhang Sheng was inclined towards Li Zicheng in his heart. The hatred between Xiang Yu and Qin Hao was too great, and he would never submit to Qin Hao with him. If he really let him lead the Taishan District, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng has already made a decision in his heart.

Looking in the direction of Yanzhou, Zhang Sheng's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and he whispered to himself: "Xiang Yu, don't blame me, but this dirty world has no place for you. Don't you want to atone for your sin? Death? All sins are atonement."

Neither Diaochan nor Nuwa are vicious women, and Zhang Sheng, who is a combination of the two, is naturally the same, but now she has to be vicious.

Life is so helpless.

------

After Chenliu, the capital of Ming Dynasty, was breached, the expected counterattack did not appear.

Daming not only did not choose to mobilize troops and horses to retake Chenliu, but instead ordered troops and horses from all over the country to guard them, and immediately moved the people from various places into the deep mountains.

Daming's move was beyond the expectations of all the princes, and of course they were all happy to see it.

Zhongping five years, in August.

Zhang Sheng moved 50 people who voluntarily followed him into Taihang, then voluntarily gave up the land of Jizhou in his hands, and reduced his troops to defend Taihang.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Jianghuai, he resisted the Yangzhou coalition and moved the people until he moved more than [-] Jianghuai people to the rear.

In September, Zhu Yuanzhang voluntarily gave up Shouchun and the cities of Jianghuai, and led his army to retreat into the Dabie Mountains.

The situation in the Central Plains was the most complicated. Both the Ming and Han armies were confronting each other here. After paying a considerable price, Xiang Yu finally covered Li Zicheng and moved nearly 30 troops from the Central Plains to Mount Tai.

In October, Li Zicheng took control of Mount Tai, but Xiang Yu was intercepted by Li Shimin and Cao Cao on his way to Mount Tai.

Forcing a breakthrough will definitely fight against Li Yuanba, but Xiang Yu was seriously injured in the previous battle against the nine generals, and now he will definitely not be an opponent if the injury has not healed, so the road of Mount Tai will not work.

Just when Xiang Yu wanted to go north and enter the Taihang Mountains, Yang Jian led his army to cut off the way to the north.

Among Yang Jian's army, Yuwencheng-du and other nine great generals, if he were trapped this time, Xiang Yu would not be sure of his life.

The Taihang Mountains and Taishan Mountains could not get through, and the Han army's strength in the Central Plains was only the weakest in the south, so Xiang Yu could only break through to the south.

When Xiang Yu went south, the Qingzhou battle situation also underwent new changes.

After Gongsun Xuanyuan led the army to the south, the Qingyou coalition joined by the new force, after a little rectification, began to encircle and suppress Huang Chao.
