Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Replacement of Shaodi

At the end of June of the thirteenth year of Daye.

After most of the Han army’s tactics of fighting to feed the white land with war, the tribes of the grassland fell into the cold winter ice cellar, countless fertile water and grass were destroyed, countless cattle, sheep and tribesmen were taken by the Han army and went south, and the economic and people’s livelihood of the entire grassland was dealt a devastating blow.

The leaders of the various tribes in the steppe were not the Han army that did not send troops to recruit the invaders, but the Han army was too cunning and practiced the shameless tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy being tired and fighting.

And because the Han army had sufficient horses and excellent riding skills, and did not know what method, it actually allowed good horses of the same level to run farther and faster, which completely invalidated the main cavalry maneuver advantage of the grassland.

Therefore, the Han army only used a small number of men and horses to toss a large tribe to death.

At this time, the tribes of the grassland have reached the last moment, and once they cannot stop the Han army’s disturbance war all the time, then after the cold winter comes, the Han army does not have to move, and the tribes of the grassland will starve to death.

In this regard, the grassland departments living in various places were forced to move closer to each other sharply, huddle together to keep warm, and at the same time meet to go south to the grass valley to survive the cold winter not far away.

Therefore, the two eastern and western Turkic, Hui, Jing, Tiele, Murwei, Khitan and other tribes gathered 700,000 troops and millions of auxiliary troops in early July and went south in an all-round way.

In the same month, what greatly shocked the entire Sui dynasty was that the Han army gathered ten legions, 500,000 soldiers, and 500,000 auxiliary soldiers in a short time, a total of 1 million, and the Han Emperor Qin Bin personally commanded and went out to the north, and in the middle of the month he confronted the grassland forces in Mobei.

Nearly three million troops from both sides gathered in northern Mobei, and the battle of this magnitude could be described as unprecedented, more than Yang Guang’s first conquest of Goguryeo.

The imminent outbreak of a world war has certainly attracted the attention of all forces.

In the same month, Li Yuan and Chen Liuyu Wenhe of Guanzhong raised hundreds of thousands of troops close to the south bank of the Yellow River, in an attempt to take the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Han Kingdom of Hebei when the main force of the Han army was heading north.

However, before the Mobei Campaign had fully begun, and was only in the time of the scout battle, Li Yuan and Yu Wenhe were well educated by Xu Da and Guan Yu, who were stationed in Wuhe Prefecture and Wuji Prefecture respectively.

Guan Yu’s troops came out of the white horse, rushed to attack Yuwen and the main formation, and used 30,000 elite cavalry to crush Yuwen and his 300,000 army, and then used the most traditional cavalry tactics to annihilate Yuwen and his department, but in just a few days, Yuwen and his ministry were completely defeated, and had to lead tens of thousands of remnants to flee back to Chen Liu.

Originally, Yu Wenhe also wanted to withdraw Chen Liu and retreat to Xu County, but soon Yu Wenhe found that Guan Yu’s army was not in a hurry to go south, but went east on its own, took the opportunity to eat the Qingzhou boundary south of the Yellow River, and then turned offensive into defense and rectified the military and political affairs of the entire territory of Qingzhou.

Knowing that the Han army did not continue to go south, Yu Wenwen thought about it, and finally feared the might of the Han army, and withdrew the main formation from Chen Liu and retreated to Xu County.

In the same month, Li Yuan’s army of more than 200,000 people, accompanied by Li and Li Shimin, attacked Shangjun in Wuhe Prefecture, fought with Xu Da’s army in Diaoyin County for several days, defeated many victories and few, and finally was cut off by Xu Da, cut off his grain route, and divided his troops to use tired tactics to harass many times, Li Shentong’s department was tired to deal with, and because the grain road was cut off, it persisted for a few days, and had to withdraw from the boundary of Wuhe Prefecture.

Li Shentong and Li Shimin were still careful, and after using their elite to break off when withdrawing, they blocked the troops pursued and killed by Xu Dahe, although they lost 780,000 people when they finally withdrew to Guanzhong, but on the whole, the losses were much better than Yuwen He, which was almost completely destroyed.

However, after once again learning that the Han army was strong, the various forces in the Central Plains also knew that it was impossible to take advantage of the situation, and also knew that the Han army still had enough troops to hold Hebei during the main Northern Expedition.

With this conclusion, the various forces in the Central Plains can only temporarily stop and wait and see, see the results of the confrontation between the Han army and the grassland forces in the battle of Mobei, and then make plans.

When Li Yuan and Yu Wenhe were defeated one after another, Wang Shichong of Luoyang was secretly lucky, and if it were not for the invasion of Wagangzhai, he would probably have been pressured to listen to Li Yuan and Yu Wenhe’s persuasion and send troops to Hanoi.

Wang Shichong is still self-aware, his troops are not many, plus the recently newly recruited, the entire Luoyang force is more than 200,000, but most of them are stationed at the checkpoint, in addition to guarding against the Han army, he also has to guard against Wagangzhai, the real force that can be sent out is only three or five people, these tens of thousands of people to attack the Han army’s Hanoi County?

No kidding.

While Wang Shichong secretly rejoiced, Yang Guang, the capital of Jiangdu, also ordered Zhang Xutuo to suspend his northward journey and garrison the Shouchun area.

Yang Guang originally planned to let Zhang Xutuo go north, and then cooperate with his holy will to put pressure on Yu Culture and reduce the pressure on the Han army in Hebei.

In Yang Guang’s view, in addition to the Central Plains family gatekeepers, the second thing he hates the most is the foreign race in Mobei, especially the Eastern Turks.

The siege of Yanmen back then was the biggest shame in Yang Guang’s life. Now the main force of the Han army is the Northern Expedition, how to say that the Han emperor is his son-in-law, once it is done, it can be regarded as revenge for him.

It’s just that what Yang Guang didn’t expect was that Hebei still had the strength to hold on to Hebei during the million-strong army Northern Expedition, and Li Yuan and Yu Wenhe were defeated so quickly and completely.

However, after a little thought, Yang Guang also guessed that it must be the end of the conquest of the Great Han Mainland, and the Han Emperor could mobilize more legions from the Great Han Mainland.

Thinking about it in this way, Yang Guang knew that once the Mobei Campaign ended, it would be the beginning of the demise of the Central Plains forces. It was also the beginning of the official annihilation of the Great Sui in history.

Yang Guang, who was very complicated in his heart, locked himself in the imperial study that day, and no one was seen, but just looked at those gifts in the name of Emperor Han and his daughter Yang Xiuli after his daughter’s wedding.

There are panaceas for strengthening the body, exquisite and delicious dim sum meals, comfortable and luxurious Hanfu skirts and so on.

These are the wishes of Emperor Han and his daughter.

In addition to these, there are also Hebei native products sent by two imperial grandsons and letters of invitation.

Through those letters, Yang Guang knew that his two grandchildren were doing very well in Hebei.

There are not so many bullies there, as long as they abide by the law, no one dares to bully them, and Yang Dong they were not snubbed by the Han Emperor under house arrest, they are free and free, and they can go wherever they want. Occasionally, Emperor Han visited their new home as an uncle to care for their health and studies.

Yang Guang looked at what was written in the letter, his two grandchildren were really happy at this time, and they also made up their minds to study well to enrich themselves, and even planned to try to participate in the imperial examination next year, wanting to take the official channel to dominate the government and so on.

Yang Guang was so pleased to see the old Huai, he couldn’t help but snicker happily, and finally laughed, like a child, laughing and dancing.

Gonggong Wei, who was guarding in front of the imperial study, listened to the movement in the room, and rarely smiled, looking high into the sky, and couldn’t help muttering, “It’s been many years, and the laughter from the heart of the saint has not been seen for a long time…”
