Chapter 940: Hong Jia runs north to reconnect with his past, aiming for the Northern Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty

In the main hall of Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Xu Xiao sighed after a long silence and chose to let go. Xu Xin was not polite and immediately looked at Chen Zhibao.

"Chen Zhibao, Beiliang's 300,000 cavalrymen are under your command. They will leave Liang and go straight into the hinterland of Beimang. We can be sure to attack the north and achieve a great victory."

Xu Xin first looked at Chen Zhibao, and everyone's eyes also turned to this "little man Tu" known as the "War Immortal", the second person in the military under the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao.

Chen Zhibao, a white-robed Confucian general, is recognized as the best at national warfare. He is an expert in dispatching troops with more than 100,000 troops. It is said that he remembers the name of each captain and the advantages and disadvantages of each of them in leading troops in battle.

On the chaotic battlefield, fighter opportunities are fleeting, but Chen Zhibao can always make the finishing touch of troop formations.

In the Battle of Xilibi, which determined the overall situation of the Central Plains, Beiliang and Xichu fought fiercely for three days and nights. Chen Zhibao did not sleep. The ordering soldiers behind him holding the flag rotated through six batches of eighteen people. The military historian responsible for recording the process wrote down Not less than ten branches.

Under Chen Zhibao's extremely accurate orders countless times, Beiliang simply gnawed to death the last hundreds of thousands of young men in Western Chu.

Zhao Dun, the current emperor of Liyang, read it to the record, read it again and again, and drew countless wonderful points. At the end of the volume, he wrote eight characters: It is really fascinating, worthy of the war immortal!
The Liyang court did not dare to suppress Xu Xiao excessively because they were afraid that Chen Zhibao would use the excuse to raise a flag to rebel.

Chen Zhibao replied seriously: "If we just want to defeat Beimang in the grasslands and wild fields, two hundred thousand is enough. But if we want to plow through the courtyard and clear holes, even three hundred thousand is difficult."

Although everyone was shocked when they heard what he said, considering that he was Chen Zhibao, a figure who could be called the "Soldier Immortal" in the world, they felt that it was acceptable and even natural.

Xu Xin said and looked at Li Yishan, "If those people are allowed to take root in the grassland and multiply for many generations, they may abandon their ancestors and forget their ancestors. That would be a bad move."

Xu Xin shook his head, then looked at Chu Lushan, and said: "Chen Zhibao wants two hundred thousand, and the remaining one hundred thousand cavalry, I will give you Chu Lushan. I am confident that I can eat Dong Zhuo of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties."

But in the past two hundred years, firstly, the Central Plains was divided during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the various countries were not strong enough. Countless plunders from the lower reaches of the grassland to the south resulted in large captives, allowing Beimang to possess a considerable number of craftsmen and iron tools.

When Xu Xin mentioned Hong Jia's flight to the north, Li Yishan's expression was a little embarrassed. He had a plan in this matter. He thought it was good at first, but now it seems that the harm outweighs the good.

Chu Lushan did not look at Xu Fengnian at this time, but stood up and looked at Xu Xin for a long time, then said: "No big deal, give it a try. I am still very interested and confident in killing that Fatty Dong."

"Although Beimang is a serious danger, our main opponent is Liyang. It will be very difficult to deal with the Zhao family in Liyang, integrate the Central Plains, and drive north."

"Your opponent is only Dong Zhuo. As for Beimang and the Southern Dynasties, Hong Jia has been planning to run to the north for so many years, and he is always going to close the Internet cafes!"

Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have basically been able to gain an advantage over the grasslands because of their superior armor and weapons. This was the case with the Great Feng Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

Decades ago, Hong Jia, a remnant of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, rushed north, bringing more people, key cultural knowledge, and more advanced war concepts to Beimang, creating a Beimang Southern Dynasty that was comparable to the powerful countries in the Central Plains.

Hong Jia's flight to the north was considered a bad debt. It was a mess caused by the planning and planning of Yuan Benxi, Li Yishan, Nalan Youci and other advisers, who each messed up the situation and played chess.

In the end, Li Yishan and others seemed to have defeated Yuan Benxi, allowing a group of Spring and Autumn Period survivors to successfully enter Beimang and take root, splitting off into a Northern and Southern Dynasties. Some of these are the nails they planted. If the Northern Expedition to the Southern Dynasties were carried out, these people might become key chess pieces.

This layout was a good idea at the time, but the subsequent development of events did not go as they had imagined.

Liyang, Beiliang and other places have been unable to look north for many years, and the promises made in the past have not been fulfilled. So how can we expect those people to never forget their original intentions?
Even if the first batch of old scholars from the Spring and Autumn Period did not forget their original intention, then their disciples, descendants, especially those born in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, would they still want to serve the Central Plains when they grow up?

Li Yishan was the mastermind of this incident. He knew the details. He was also a counselor and understood people's human nature. Therefore, he knew very well that what Xu Xin said was right. If the layout of the moves was not completed, it would easily turn into bad chess. .

If Beimang and the Southern Dynasties cannot be taken down, and when those Spring and Autumn scholars are completely integrated into Beimang, what the Central Plains will have to face will be an extremely powerful grassland empire, and the first to bear the brunt will be Beiliang.

Xu Xin's strategic goal in this expedition to the north is Beimang and the Southern Dynasty. As long as he captures this important grassland for city construction and management, which is at the horns of Beiliang, he only needs to retain some troops to block the Northern Dynasty's attack in Beimang. To retaliate southward, one hundred thousand Northern Liang troops could be mobilized to go southward.

In response to the victory, one hundred thousand troops from Northern Liang marched south, and in coordination with the troops from Western Chu, it didn't take much effort to defeat Tai'an City.

"Huang Man'er, if you ask Chen Zhibao and Lu Qiu'er to take out all the 300,000 Beiliang cavalry, then Liang will have no soldiers and the interior will be empty. This is too risky."

Xu Xin's two groups of troops sent out all 300,000 Beiliang cavalry. While others were still thinking, Xu Fengnian jumped out and asked the question first.

He did not want Beiliang to go to war and start a war on his own initiative. He even thought of using personal force to avenge his personal revenge. He thought that was the right approach.

"Who said there are no soldiers in the cold land?"

When Xu Xin heard this, he just said calmly: "Beiliang's old general Yan Wenyuan and other tribes had little contact with each other due to some misunderstandings. Now is the time for us to work together as one, and it is time to call them back. ”

As soon as Xu Xin said this, Xu Xiao's eyes became particularly complicated. The separation of Yan Wenyuan and other generals was a worry for him.

In the past, when the world was uncertain, Liyang wanted to kill the donkey. He made countless tests against Beiliang before and after the Baiyi case, which made the people of Beiliang resentful.

Although it was a rumor that the Beiliang Army wanted to divide the river to rule, there were indeed middle- and high-level people in the army who responded to this idea at that time, and there were quite a few of them.

Xu Xiao originally had a military advisor named Zhao Changling. He, Yan Wenluan and other generals tried to persuade Xu Xiao to divide the river and rule the world together. Yishan laughed at him and called him the leader of the emperor faction, and won over many people. An old guy with a complaint.

Later, Zhao Changling died of illness on the way to conquer Western Shu. After the Central Plains was established, Xu Xiao granted the vassal Beiliang. Yan Wenyuan and the group of Beiliang generals who had no hope of joining the dragon were naturally left out and disheartened, and they were considered semi-independent.

Xu Xiao expressed his unwillingness to proclaim himself emperor in the past, and Beiliang's military began to lose morale. It lost a large number of captains, and many old people who had been working hard to achieve unparalleled achievements also faded out of sight.

Now that Xu Xin wants to gain momentum, the 300,000 Northern Liang troops are not enough, so these people are the reserves that can be roped in. At least the one with veteran Yan Wenyuan is up for grabs.
