I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 134
Apart from leaving thousands of soldiers to maintain stability in Yandi, the rest of the Chu army all headed south.

Probably crossing the line where Shanhaiguan is located in the later generations, Chen Luo's body temperature rose significantly, and he lost a coat.

"Sure enough, geographical factors can subtly affect many things." Looking back at the land of Liaodong with white mountains and black waters silently, he felt a little emotional in his heart.

In China's thousands of years of history, there have been countless wars, going east, going west, going north, and going south. Among them, the Northern Expedition achieved a complete victory in terms of strategic goals, and only the Ming Dynasty did it.

As far as the northern and southern regions are concerned, more of the northern regimes unified the world, and the most representative ones were the Jin, Sui, Yuan, and Qing dynasties.

If you look into the reasons, you can consider the population, productivity, etc., but the geo-climate cannot be ignored.

From south to north, during the Northern Expedition, the weather will become colder and colder as the war progresses.

The clothes prepared in the army are not enough and thick enough, as well as the factors of homesickness, the fighting spirit of soldiers from the south will continue to decrease.

From north to south, the situation of the army going south is just the opposite.

The soldiers are rushing to see "three autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus", not to mention the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and they will lose one coat when crossing the Shanhai Pass, and another coat when crossing the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yangtze River, in the south, after the rainy season, and before the temperature cools down in autumn, basically only need to wear a single piece of clothing.

Future generations may not be so sensitive to the difference in climate between the north and the south.

But in the ancient north, not every household had heating.

When winter comes, the refugees in the south will get over it after a while, but the refugees in the north may go down after a while.

Therefore, happiness is born in the comparison. The northern army went south, and the battle and charge were basically fierce.

But at this time, the Chu army as a counterexample was a bit too extreme.

It took them less than half a year to almost level the north. This speed is unprecedented, and it is afraid that there will be very few comers in the future.

After all, the situation is special.

Xiang Yu is too powerful, and his opponent is only a separatist regime, not even a separatist regime.

If those miscellaneous forces were not quickly destroyed, it would be Xiang Yu's problem instead.

Thinking in this way, Chen Luo began to study the next opponent, wondering how long Jibei Kingdom could last.

When Xiang Yu flattened the land of Yanzhao, the land of Qi, which was the fuse of the chaos in the world, finally stopped.

Xiong Xin and King Xun of Jibei finally broke through Linzi and divided up the country of Qi. Then Jiaodong country chose to surrender voluntarily in the face of the two men who were staring at them.

Therefore, the next opponent of the Chu army is the Jibei Kingdom, which owned more than half of the territory of the Qi Kingdom in the old year.

As for how to arrange the specific military strategy, he has not yet stepped out of the field of military novice, so he really has no idea in his heart.

"Brother Yu, what do you think of the upcoming war in Qidi?" Chen Luo turned his head and chose to ask the standard answer directly.

Xiang Yu replied casually: "Of course I have a plan in mind. The war can be ended before winter comes. If it can't be ended, taking Linzi City will be enough for our army to garrison and rest."

Chen Luo was silent.

This plan is really simple and crude.

It's just that you can learn more by observing Xiang Yu's next actions than listening to what Xiang Yu said.

at the same time.

After conquering the Hengshan area, the Han army is about to enter the Jiujiang area.

Probably because of some kind of lucky talent bonus, Liu Bang just entered Hangu Pass earlier in the Battle of the Lost Qin, this time he set foot on the Chu land one step ahead of Xiang Yu after destroying the Linjiang Kingdom.

Sitting on the carriage, Liu Bang said with a little emotion: "It's a pity that Xiong Xin must be in Pengcheng, not Yingdu, otherwise we would have wiped him out now."

In terms of the vastness of the territory alone, without considering factors such as land development and population density, Chu State was still the largest country in Zhuxia in the middle of the Warring States Period.

With this advantage, it has a very strong strategic depth. Even if a war fails, it can give the army time to breathe, and use the time to rest and regroup.

To put it simply, Chu State is quite resistant to beating.

The state of Chu established by Xiong Xin maintained this advantage.

Even if they are retreating steadily, retreating again and again, they are exchanging space for time, and they can call up new troops again to resist the Han army.

Han Xin next to him answered, "Don't worry, the king of Han, we will continue to fight steadily, and Xiong Xin will have no chance of winning. Every time he sends troops, he just replenishes us with food and armor for nothing.

This Jiujiang area can be yours in about a month or two. "

"I heard that King Xiang was invincible in the north, and he destroyed the six kingdoms in a short period of time. Those who fear him call him an evil tiger, and those who respect him call him an overlord." Liu Bang was a little emotional when he mentioned the information he had learned recently.

"King Xiang is indeed mighty." Faced with this victory, Han Xin nodded and admitted.

But he didn't think he was weaker than Xiang Yu.

After all, based on the scope of the captured land, the progress of the Han army was no less than that of the Chu army.

And after leaving Wuguan, the first opponent they faced was Linjiang King Peng Yue, who was obviously much stronger than the group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the north who mostly relied on the shadow of their ancestors.

Liu Bang turned his head and asked suddenly: "By the way, I heard that you often ran over to find that Peng Yue's tent, and communicated with him, and you couldn't hold back for an hour or two. Is there something wrong?"

After the Han army broke through Jiangling City, Peng Yue was captured.

Originally, Liu Bang wanted to imitate Xiang Yu and kill him to avoid future troubles.

However, Zhang Liang entered the account and made some remonstrance, explaining the pros and cons, which made him dispel this idea, leaving Peng Yue alive, bringing him into the army, and giving him some freedom, but he did not have access to any military power.

Han Xin replied honestly: "The tactics he used are unreasonable and quite innovative, allowing thousands of troops to advance and retreat freely. I want to learn it."

"That's it, then General Han should exchange his military strategy with Peng Yue." Liu Bang squinted his eyes, and felt that the other party's expression was normal, so he relaxed.

Even if the attitude of the Han army towards Peng Yue is not bad, it is not that he has forgotten his former status as a prince and king.

Han Xin, as a general under his command, went to the tent of a former prince to communicate for a long time, which is hard to make people think.

If one day he leads the army outside, has some crooked thoughts, and then uses the experience he learned from Peng Yue to support himself as a vassal, then he may have a big head.

But after his own probing just now, Liu Bang didn't find that Han Xin had signs of that, so he was relieved.

After all, regarding Han Xin's acting skills... Well, it should be said that Han Xin does not have any acting skills.

Therefore, when you ask a question suddenly, the answers you can get are basically true and reliable.
Staring at the Han army constantly marching forward in the high mountains, and then shaking on the bumpy carriage, Liu Bang closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little sleepy.
