Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 564 Centennial Shandong ([-])
half year later

Autumn of the fifth year of Yan State 360 (575)
Zhou Guo sent 18 troops, went east out of Tongguan, and attacked the land of Henan.

It is almost overwhelming again, but the quality of the soldiers is much higher than the 20 last time.

Among them, Emperor Yu Wenyong personally led an army of [-] to besiege Luoyang, Qi Wang Yu Wenxian led [-] troops to attack Liyang, Liang Gonghou Mo Chenbing led [-] troops to guard Taihang Xing, Shen Gong and Li Mu led [-] troops to block the traffic in Heyang On the main road, Changshan Gong led [-] troops from Hebei to attack Yingchuan Runan and other places, and accompanied Gong Yang Jian led [-] sailors into the Yellow River waterway.

This deployment is very routine and classic. The main force besieges important cities of the enemy, partial divisions block the channels of the enemy's reinforcements, and partial divisions take the opportunity to sweep the enemy's empty cities, and retain Yang Jian's [-] sailors as a strategic support force. .

The mountain roads of Taihang Xing were blocked, the ferries of Heyang and Liyang were blocked, the waterway of the Yellow River was also blocked, the large granary Yingchuan Runan was swept away, and the important city of Luoyang was besieged.

It can only be said that Yu Wenyong was very stable in this Eastern Expedition, and his military deployment was very regular, and it was carried out honestly in accordance with the art of war.

If Wang Jue saw such a style of play, he would just shake his head and dismiss it.

Do you still need 18 troops to fight?

Give me five thousand elites, and I can sweep the world!
Block what?guard what?what?
Directly raid Yecheng thousands of miles away, change all tactics, and surprise Qi State by surprise!
What?Do you still need logistics folks to transport grain and grass?
This is really a waste of marching speed!

If you have time to wait for those slow-moving civilians to transport food and grass to the front line, won't you eat the enemy's flesh?stupid!

Don't dare to drink blood and eat meat, don't dare to drink urine and eat shit, what kind of battle are you fighting here?Play house?
What is the logistics?The enemy is my logistics!

However, not everyone likes Wang Jue's military-adventurous style of play. As the king of a country, Yu Wenyong does not dare to take risks with the national fortune, so he naturally prefers a step-by-step style of play.

When he heard the news of Yu Wenyong's Eastern Expedition, Gao Wei, the emperor of Qi, just kept urging the generals to go to the front to resist, while he himself continued to sing and sing every night.

Hearing about Zhou Guodong's expedition, Yan Xu also took the opportunity to capture Qingzhou.

"The main force of the Qi State must be dispatched to the Luoyang area to fight the Zhou State, and there is no time to take care of the Shandong land. This is a great opportunity for us to take the opportunity to occupy the Shandong land!"

Yan Xu submitted his idea to the council, and the grand council was convened more than a month later. Representatives of nobles and guilds passed his military plan for the westward expedition to Shandong.

However, just as he mobilized his troops to prepare for the westward expedition, news from the Central Plains came again.

Yu Wenyong suddenly fell ill, and after occupying many cities west of Luoyang, he withdrew his troops and returned to Guanzhong.

He fell ill suddenly, and Shen Gong and Li Mu failed to block the Heyang passage, which led to Qi reinforcements arriving in Luoyang from Heyang, so Yu Wenyong, who was seeking stability, simply didn't want to fight, for fear of accidents in the war.

This thunderous and rainy war also made the surrounding countries breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhou Guo retreated, Qi continued to fight among himself, and Emperor Gao Wei continued to dream of life and death.

Chen Xu, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, stared at Huaibei and Henan on the map. Last time, taking advantage of the civil strife caused by the killing of Queen Lanling in Qi State, he recovered Huainan. Now, he still wants to continue to recover Huaibei.

"This Yu Wenyong is really disappointing. He suddenly withdrew his troops in the middle of the fight, alas..."

Yan Xu was very angry, he had finally obtained the approval of the parliament, and the deployment of troops was completed, and he was about to leave soon.

As a result, Zhou State withdrew its troops, and the military plan that led to Yan State's surprise attack on Shandong had to be cancelled.

After all, it is impossible for Yan State to confront Qi State head-on, that would only waste its own national strength in vain.

Unless Qi State took the initiative to defeat Yan State, Yan State had no interest in spending a lot of manpower and material resources on the war with the Central Plains Dynasty.

But it has been very difficult to dispatch troops and generals, and you can't return empty-handed. Isn't that letting the soldiers gather in vain?
After thinking about it, Yan Xu decided to attack Goguryeo, and reported it to Jiuqing, and passed the consent of the parliament.

Not to mention that Goguryeo didn't expect Yan Guohui to beat him suddenly, even Yan Guo himself didn't expect that he would suddenly hit Goguryeo, it happened suddenly.

Come here, you have to hit a target, otherwise it will be in vain, you can't beat Qi, and you can't beat Goguryeo?
Thousands of troops, led by the Goguryeo puppet army, headed all the way towards the forest and swamp.

After only a few days of marching, many soldiers contracted malaria in the forest, and many servants got stuck in the swamp and were swallowed by the swamp.

In the end, they only found a small Goguryeo village, and captured hundreds of Goguryeo people in the village as slaves.

This expedition was a bloody loss. A Goguryeo city was not captured, only a few hundred slaves were captured, but more than 2000 soldiers died of miasma, malaria and swamps, and many of the captured slaves were still alive.

The more Yan Xu thought about it, the more angry he decided to build a small city here, treating it as a newly reclaimed settlement of the Yan Kingdom.

With so many people dead, if there is not even a settlement, it would be shameful.

Most of the soldiers returned to Yandu, only a hundred imperial guards were left in this newly opened settlement, supervising thousands of servants and hundreds of slaves, allowing them to build a small city.

As long as the city is built, the immigrant population from Liaodong will open up wasteland.

However, after Yan Xu disbanded the army, just one year passed, and the news of the Central Plains spread to Yan Country again.

Emperor Yu Wenyong of the Zhou Kingdom, once again leads a personal conquest!

"Wait a little longer, when they really hit the heat, we will attack Shandong again, or we will return empty-handed like last time, and suffer a big loss in front of the forest and swamp!" After learning the lesson from last time This time, Yan Xu was no longer impulsive, and did not rush to send troops to attack Shandong.

However, in the brothel casino in Yandu, literati, refined scholars, wealthy businessmen are discussing the war between Zhou and Qi.

I saw four maps hanging in the air, facing four directions respectively, all of which were maps of the Central Plains.

The brothel and the casino are operated together. The owner of the brothel uses [Zhou Qi War] as a gamble, and invites many elegant scholars from the country of Yan to bet here on which country can win.

A group of elegant scholars placed bets one after another, some betting on Qi Guo to win, and some betting on Zhou Guo to win.

Some scholars still came here talking and talking in the brothel, using their own insights to analyze the war between the two countries, and after the analysis, they looked at the prostitutes in the brothel, wanting to use their talents to conquer these enchanting women.

"If the faint king of Qi is in power, he will be defeated!"

"No, no, whether a country can win or not depends on its national strength, not on the stupidity or wisdom of a monarch. In my opinion, Zhou Guo will definitely lose!"

At this time, a scholar named Wu Chengen came to the brothel, he...
