Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 565 Dragon City
"When His Majesty's order came, the people of Xuantu rose up, cooperated with the inside and outside, and cooperated with Generals Zhang and Liu to conquer the important towns of Pingguo and Nansu. The King of Goguryeo was afraid and retreated to the west of the sea. Xuantu returned to my Daliang!"

"You can see from this that people's hearts are against each other!" Cui Jin raised the wine bottle and touched it with Li Yue.

"King Huanye is well-deserved. Come and reward him with this jug of wine." A stone fell in Li Yue's heart.

"Goguryeo overestimates its capabilities and becomes an enemy of Daliang, bringing about its own destruction."

With Xuantu County, Goguryeo had no choice but to be suppressed.

When Daliang unified the Central Plains, Liaodong had the strength to unify the entire Liaodong under the governance of Cui Jin and Zhou Qian.

When the Sui and Tang Dynasties conquered Goguryeo, they all raised troops from the interior and traveled thousands of miles away. When Daliang attacked Goguryeo, they sent troops directly from Liaodong, eliminating the pain of traveling through mountains and rivers.

Even if the strength is insufficient, they can still project manpower and material resources from the Central Plains by sea.

From Zhou Qin to Han and Wei, I am afraid that no dynasty paid as much attention to Liaodong as Li Yue.

In addition to strategic significance, it also has real economic value.

It can be cultivated, herded, fished and hunted. Liaodong's timber, medicinal materials, leather goods and minerals are a considerable amount of wealth. In the future, there is no need for the main force of Heiyun to go out. Cui Jin, Jia Jian and Lu Bo can be wiped out by a few generals. it.

However, if you want to completely control Liaodong, you want to improve your navigation technology.

"Liaodong is pacified, I will return to Yedu immediately!"

The news came back a few days ago that the Hetao has been abandoned, Fu Ya's three groups besieged Taiyuan, and Tuoba Shi Yijian captured Sheng Le.

Wang Meng stood firm in Taiyuan, while Xu Cheng built strong walls in Nanyang and cleared the countryside, blocking Fu Jian's offensive. However, Deng Qiang sent troops to attack Hongnong, with the intention of opening up the Nanyang battlefield.

Opposite Hongnong is Luoyang, the place of command in the Central Plains.

I don’t know how the battle is going.

The next day, Li Yue led his infantry and drove more than 2000 carts back westward.

Looking back at the Dragon City, which is located between the mountains and rivers, dormant like a giant beast on the land of western Liaoning, I suddenly feel that it has extraordinary momentum.

Cui Hong said on the side: "Dragon City has a royal spirit, and the land is connected to the barbarians, so it is better to destroy it!"

Destroying the enemy's capital is a routine operation to strengthen the trunk and weaken the branches.

Xiang Yu burned Epang Palace, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, and Ran Min burned Xiangguo. In history, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian destroyed Ye City, and Song Lao Er destroyed Taiyuan...

Once a force rises in Liaodong, Dragon City will become the hub against China.

It is adjacent to Yanshan Mountain in the north, Pingtu River in the south, guarding Jieshi Road, surrounded by Chongqing River and Bailang River, relying on Longshan Mountain, and in the southeast is the famous Shanhaiguan Pass in later generations. Blocking this place will block the entry and exit of the Central Plains.

Li Yue shook his head and said: "According to what you say, wouldn't I also destroy Xuchang, Luoyang, Taiyuan, and Guanggu? The strength of mountains and rivers lies in the hearts of the people. In the past, the great Han Dynasty set up Liucheng here, but did not see the rise of barbarians. Instead, they came to The Jin Dynasty has become the capital of the Yi people, so why? The Jin Dynasty has no virtue and is incompetent!"

When the sea route opens in the future, the strategic value of the Western Liaoning Corridor will be greatly reduced.

There are so many cities with royal aura these days, and Li Yue can't tear them down.

"But the momentum of Dragon City is too great and it is not appropriate for the time. Let's change it back to Liucheng." Li Yue withdrew his gaze. If he had the skills, he might as well manage Daning City and Mashijin in Liaodong, which would later be Port Arthur.

Now it has become the military port of Daliang Navy. Ma Gu guards this place, across the sea from Qingzhou Donglai. Li Yue also established a port named Weihai.

If these two places develop, not to mention Liaodong, the entire peninsula will be under control.

This is the first dividend brought by Daliang's switch to HNA.

The four counties of Han already covered most of the peninsula, with Baekje and Chenhan huddled in the southern corner.

"Your Majesty is wise." Cui Hong bowed his hands.

"When the beam starts from Guandong, it must look towards the East China Sea!" Li Yue expressed his true feelings.

Just as the Han Dynasty rose in Kansai, when the country's strength increases, it will connect with the Western Regions.

Geography determines the fate of a country. No one is right or wrong. If you lose something, you will gain something. The Tang Dynasty focused on the west, and the east gradually fell out of control... Cui Hong was thoughtful.

Li Yue had already rode away, and the melodious sound of the flute came from behind again...

Hedong, Anyi.

Wei Shan kept an eye on Pu Ban's movements and remained unmoved even if Deng Qiang captured the county.

However, Deng Qiang successively conquered Hebei (now five miles north of Ruicheng County, Shanxi, the ancient Wei city) and Dayang, which made Weishan uneasy.

Later, Deng Qiang crossed the Yellow River, attacked Hu County, invaded Hongnong, and headed straight for Luoyang!
The front of the army was invincible, and there was no enemy in the local army.

Deng Qiang became famous.

It doesn't matter if Hongnong is lost. This place was originally a buffer between Liang and Qin, but if Luoyang is lost, people in Guandong will be shocked.

Although the capital of the Liang Kingdom is Yecheng, Luoyang has always been regarded as the ancient capital of China and has great significance in people's hearts.

When Han Zhao and Jie Zhao fought for supremacy, they also fought in Luoyang.

"General, there are two more troops in Guanzhong to support Deng Qiang's tribe. Their strength has reached [-]!" the scout hurriedly reported.

Wei Shan frowned, "Did you see clearly? There are thirty thousand in the north and fifty thousand in the south. Where did Deng Qiang get his thirty thousand army?"

The scout trembled and said, "My subordinates... I can see it clearly. 1 of them came from Feng Yi, and the other several routes were led by powerful chiefs from Guanzhong such as the Qiang family, the Mao family, the Liang family, and the Yu family!"

Diqin only has a population of over one million on the household register, but there are many more who are not listed on the household register.

It was the support of these powerful chiefs of Guanxi that allowed the Fu family to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

"Hongnong is the gateway to Guandong and cannot be lost!" Qin Biao said worriedly.

"Where did Deng Qiang come from?" Wei Shan asked irritably.

With 3 troops, they already have the strength to attack Luoyang.

Even if Luoyang is not attacked, it can deter Sizhou, an important place in the capital, to the north, and support Fu Jian of Wancheng to the south...

Qin Biao said: "Guanxi has always had many talented generals. Deng Qiang is the Yuntai 28 general after Deng Yu. We should not underestimate him. It is better to ask the king for help."

"Taiyuan has Tuoba Shi Yijian in the north, Fu Ya in the west, and Fu Fei in the south. The pressure is not small. Even if they can support it, how many troops are there? Deng Qiang's movements have been communicated to him for a long time, but there is no news so far. I'm afraid there is nothing he can do. , the only current plan is to lead five thousand elites to guard Shaanxi City."

During the decisive battle between Liang Yan and Liang Yan a few years ago, Wei Shan was under Wang Meng's command, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.

"General, don't move lightly. Hedong is related to the victory of this battle. There is no room for failure. I will lead [-] infantry to station in Shaanxi City to resist Deng Qiang!" Qin Biao said with cupped hands.

Hedong is the southern barrier of Taiyuan. Once it is lost, Taiyuan will fall into a tight siege.

When facing an opponent like Deng Qiang, ordinary soldiers are no match.

Only the Black Cloud Elite can rival it.

However, due to his war intuition in 30, Wei Shan always felt that the enemy's target was Anyi, not Luoyang.

However, if Hongnong is ignored, Deng Qiang will definitely march straight into Luozhong.

"Four thousand, you lead 4000 people. Be careful on the way. Deng Qiang has captured Dayang, and Fengling and Maojin have fallen into the enemy's hands!" Wei Shan still compromised.

Intuition is intuition, and Hongnong cannot afford to make mistakes.

"My subordinates are hiding day and night and attacking Maojin with four thousand elite troops. Can the enemy stop it?" Qin Biao said confidently.

　There are two chapters today. I originally wrote three chapters, but something feels wrong. Let me think about how to fight the battle between Liang and Qin.
