Chapter 390 The Expedition of the Han Empire (1)
The fifteen legions of the Eastern Han princes gathered in the city of Chutian, and millions of towns bravely transported food and grass, and their weapons arrived in this city, preparing to expedition to the main city in the west.
This expedition gathered all the elite troops on the land of the Han Empire, with the goal of taking over the main city of the west in one fell swoop!
"The cavalry in Liaodong is really strong. If Goryeo had not restrained Mingguan, the result of the Youzhou War might not have been that Yuan Shao's camp would have won."
Chu Tian returned to his city and found that the city of Mingguan was not far from him. Soon the army of Mingguan arrived, and a large amount of food and weapons were also coming.
Mingguan has an extremely burly figure and is 1.9 meters tall. Chu Tian feels some pressure when dealing with him.
There are many elite cavalry in Mingguan, Guanning Iron Cavalry, Xianbei Longcheng Iron Cavalry, Eight Banners Cavalry...
"Eight Banners..."
Zhao Yun followed Chu Tian, and when he saw Ming Guan following Dorgon, the enemy, gritted his teeth.
"Calm down, after the national war is over, we will sooner or later fight with Mingguan in the main world, and we will avenge you later."
Chu Tian was also a little surprised to learn that Mingguan used the relationship between Oboi and Dorgon to recruit Dorgon. However, it is a national war, and the contradictions within the Eastern Han Dynasty will be put aside for the time being.
Chu Tian's eyes were on a general behind Ming Guan.
Chu Tian knew the number one general of Mingguan, Chang Yuchun, and Chu Tian was not very familiar with the second general Murong Ba. Murong Ba, who was born in the Xianbei, fought all his life and established the Later Yan. He was also a big shot who dominated Liaodong.
In the Battle of Western Liao, Murong Ba led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to raid the central army of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and directly killed Liu Yu. He was really a ruthless character.
When Dorgon saw Zhao Yun beside Chu Tian, his eyes looked a little scared. He was chased by Zhao Yun many times. If it were not necessary, he would not provoke Zhao Yun.
"This expedition will show you the power of our Liaodong cavalry."
Mingguan ordered the army to camp outside the city, and then came to the city to drink with Chu Tian.
Because of the protection mechanism of the national war, this national war will basically not be stabbed by companions. Unless some princes stand by and watch to preserve their strength.
Chu Tian asked: "Murong Ba, Dorgon and others have great ambitions. Aren't you afraid of them?"
Mingguan didn't care much: "Ambitions must have sufficient prestige, status and strength. As long as I am here, they dare not betray them, not to mention that I have a group of loyal subordinates and reliable military advisors."
Chu Tian turned his attention to the military advisor brought by Mingguan. The other party was a monk in black, obviously the main military advisor of Mingguan, Yao Guangxiao, known as the "prime minister in black".
Yao Guangxiao was the main planner of the Jingnan Campaign. He helped King Zhu Di of Yan to win the world of Ming Dynasty. His strategy was top-notch.
Yao Guangxiao was secretly monitoring various military generals for Mingguan. The danger of a rebellion breaking out within Mingguan is very small unless Mingguan is defeated.
Mingguan saw Chu Tian looking at his planner openly and coughed twice: "Don't hit my planner."
Chu Tian coughed awkwardly: "Things are not available, I never covet other people's civil servants and military generals."
After the arrival of Mingguan, an elite cavalry arrived. This cavalry army had Han cavalry and 36 cavalry in the Western Regions, with mixed fish eyes. However, Huo'an had characteristics and the bonus of the official position of "West Region Protector" (the highest military and political chief of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty), which turned the cavalry of the 36 countries of the Western Regions into servants, which seemed mixed but not chaotic. It was precisely with the mixed forces such as Han cavalry and 36 countries of the Western Regions that Huo'an gradually pacified the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and stabilized the borders for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Huoan brought 20,000 unique cavalry from the Western Regions Protectorate. When dealing with foreign races, the cavalry of the Western Regions Protectorate's Protectorate's performance was no less than that of any elite cavalry in the pass.
As the core general of the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo Qubing stopped and followed Huo An into the city. Huo An wanted to take this opportunity to ask the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to see Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing's name was originally intended to remove the disease, but he died young due to the disease. It seems that the name has little to do with his personal fate, and it is even contrary to expectations.
Wei Qing was on the city wall. When he saw Huo Qubing enter the city, he always felt a little intimate.
Huo Qubing felt a sense of heart, looked up at the city wall, and the two walls of the Han Empire met historic meeting. After the Battle of Mobei ended, they appeared on the same battlefield again!
Although they belong to two different lords, the relationship between these two lords is good and they are facing the same enemy.
Chu Tian greeted Hua Tuo in advance. When he saw Huo Qubing, he couldn't help but sigh: "This boy is extraordinary."
Huo An muttered in his heart that the character of Fenglangjuxu was of course unusual: "The miracle doctor, I don't know if it can extend his lifespan."
Hua Tuo pondered, and Huo An was uneasy.
If Huo Qubing cannot overcome the difficulties, then Huo Qubing can only fight for seven years. Seven years is far from enough to conquer Central Asia and West Asia.
Hua Tuo finally said slowly: "If you can collect a batch of precious medicinal materials, you may be able to save it. After you collect all the medicinal materials, come to Peiguo to find me."
Huo An was overjoyed. No matter how precious the medicinal materials Hua Tuo needed were, as long as Huo Qubing was saved, Huo An would try to save Huo Qubing even if he lost all his money.
After Huo'an arrived, the troops of other princes also arrived one after another.
In addition to the elite troops they brought, various princes recruited a group of low-level cannon fodder troops, and a total of 500,000 troops were assembled!
Countless food and grass were piled up in the city defended by Cao Ren, Man Chong and others, and the food and grass flooded a small part of the city. This was food and grass used for the expedition!
This time, the Han Empire was going to go for a 600-mile expedition to compete with nearby civilizations for the main city in the west.
When Yuan Shao arrived, he saw Cao Cao who was working under Chu Tian. Cao Cao was washing the horse's back for the tiger and leopard cavalry, and couldn't help but sneer: "Am, if you brought your family to Yecheng to surrender to me, why should you be a groom?"
Xu You followed Yuan Shao, as an old acquaintance of Cao Cao, couldn't help but sympathize with Cao Cao's experience, and was a little gloating. An originally heroic figure turned into a general with only a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and had to go to the stable to take care of the war horses.
"Haha, isn't this Benchu and Ziyuan? Being a groom is much better than being a prefect. You don't have to be frightened and do whatever you want. The salary here of the Yanzhou Governor is OK. If Benchu and Ziyuan come to surrender, wouldn't it be a groom together? "
Cao Cao was not ashamed of all, but instead had a calm mind, which made Yuan Shao and Xu You not know how to mock Cao Cao.
Xu You whispered to Yuan Shao: "Cao Aman must have been crazy because of a big blow. It's better not to provoke him."
Yuan Shao nodded: "It's probably the case."
Yuan Shao and Xu You exchanged a few simple greetings with Cao Cao, and then went to the meeting.
Cao Cao watched Yuan Shao and Xu You leave and continued to wash the horse's back: "As sooner or later, Yuan Benchu and Xu Ziyuan will be killed by Yiren."
The Han Empire is about to set off an expedition, and all the princes vow to make a vow in the city!
Chu Tian and other princes rewarded the entire army and ordered the entire army to accumulate strength. This time they might fall into a hard battle!
Hundreds of famous generals gathered in the city, gathered together with talents!
These famous generals have more or less conflicts with each other because of the wars in the main world.
The old Qin of the Ranran brought Lu Bu, Yang Dayan, Meng Tian, Li Xin and other groups of military generals to the banquet. Lu Bu glared at Xue Rengui behind Chu Tian. Xue Rengui still held Lu Bu's exclusive Fangtian Painting Ridge in his hand, so that Lu Bu has been using a fake.
After years of training and reaching the peak of force, Xue Rengui was not afraid of Lu Bu at all. He even dared to fight with Lu Bu alone.
Although Yang Dayan is called Dayan, his eyes are actually not big. He is a powerful general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and he stares at Dian Wei, another powerful general behind Chu Tian.
The old Qin of the Rangran also brought a military general - Zhou Bo of the Han Dynasty. That was Zhou Yafu's father, and Chu Tian always felt a little strange. If he went to war with the old Qin of the Rangran in the future, once Zhou Yafu faced Zhou Bo last time, wouldn't he be kind and filial to his father?
"I didn't expect Xu Fengnian from Longxi to hide so deeply!"
The old Qin of Ranran was very familiar with Chu Tian. Among all the princes, he was not concerned about Chu Tian, but Xu Fengnian from Longxi, his main opponent at present.
The lords of Longxi used the power of the Xiliang rebels to control Longxi County from a very early stage and became the local emperor of Longxi County. They were isolated from the world. It was difficult for the spies of the old Qin Dynasty to penetrate Longxi County, and Longxi County was not leaking.
This time, in order to deal with the national war, Xu Fengnian brought out his generals from Longxi, including many of them, and even the opponent, Lao Qin, was not aware of it.
It seems that it is not easy to annex Liangzhou...Rangran Lao Qin thought to himself.
Beside Xu Fengnian, there was also a fifteen-year-old boy with a face that looked like a jade-like face, a belly-bellied wolf-waisted waist, and a white-clothed white armor. If he grew up, he would definitely be a powerful general.
"That should be Ma Chao in Jinyi!"
"Ma Chao? How could he have Ma Chao?"
"I heard that the lords of Longxi formed an alliance at the beginning, mainly relying on Ma Teng and defeating Ma Teng. Ma Chao naturally became Xu Fengnian's thug."
Some princes knew the strategy of the lord of Longxi, and based on the appearance and outfit of the young man, they judged that this was Ma Chao.
"Ma Chao?"
Chu Tian looked at the boy beside Xu Fengnian. The boy's eyes were sharp and a bit arrogant. Although Ma Chao was only fifteen years old, he was not short. He probably had no 80 or 70 in his martial arts power. It was obvious that Xu Fengnian brought Ma Chao out of training and cultivated Ma Chao's favorability.
Many alien lords are cultivating local figures from the Three Kingdoms. Chu Tian is cultivating Zhuge Liang, Xu Fengnian is cultivating Ma Chao, and Tongque is cultivating Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan.
The Tongque was responsible for commanding the navy of the Han Empire to compete for the fifth main city, so it was not here.
It is said that Tang is following fierce generals such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Chen Dao, who are entrenched in the Central Plains and may stab Chu Tian in the main world at any time. It is Chu Tian’s confidant. At present, the two of them have put aside their grudges and fought together, so they can trust each other.
It is said that because the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia Cavalry had no resources and could not be recruited, his main force was Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army and Chen Dao's Bai Li's soldiers. The Shuofang Army was not of high quality, but it was because of its large number of people.
"Zhao Long, I won't lose to you next time."
Hu Ma brought two emperor-level commanders Li Mu and Lian Po, and was resentful of the failure of the war in Youzhou.
Zhao Long followed the emperor-level commander, the famous Sui Dynasty general, and the Duke of Chu Yang Su. He did not feel proud of winning the Youzhou Battle, but instead tried to win over Huma: "We are all princes north of the Yellow River. We join forces to fight for the world. Major things can be accomplished. There is no need to live to the death and make the princes south of the Yellow River bigger."
Hu Ma fell into deep thought because of Zhao Long's words, but soon shook his head: "How do I know if you have deceived me? You rely on Yuan Shao and use the prestige of Yuan Shao's fourth generation and three masters to recruit troops and talents, and then kill chickens to get eggs. You are already sinister."
Hu Ma doesn't think much of Zhao Long. Because Hu Ma's territory in Bingzhou was defeated by him. If Zhao Long did not rely on Yuan Shao's power, whether Zhao Long could block Liu Bei in the early stage was a question. Zhao Long's strength was not only himself, but also Yuan Shao. Zhao Long tied up Yuan Shao, and one lord was equivalent to two lords, so the Hu Ma who owned Li Mu, Lian Po's Hu Ma was afraid of Zhao Long and Yuan Shao. Moreover, the population of Jizhou was twice that of Hu Ma's Bingzhou. The population advantage could offset the influence brought by famous generals.
"In order to compete for the Central Plains, we must do everything we can, but we join forces to go south to the Yellow River to divide the world equally. This is my real idea. You think about it again. Otherwise, the war in Hebei will end, Henan..."
Zhao Long and Hu Ma stood shoulder to shoulder and encouraged Hu Ma to join his strategic plan.
Liu Bei brought military generals such as Chen Xi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ashinser (Prince of the Turks), Wu Han (Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai) to the banquet.
Because this is Chu Tian's city, Chu Tian sat in the main seat.
Liu Bei looked at Chu Tian who was high and his eyes were a little dim. He and Chu Tian were old acquaintances, and they met him in the first epic battle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, Liu Bei's starting point was higher than Chu Tian and was Lu Zhi's disciple.
As a result, Chu Tian has lands in the three states, and he was promoted to General Zhengdong and led the governor of Yanzhou, second only to the Three Dukes, General of the Grand General, General of the Cavalry, and General of the Cavalry.
Liu Bei's Youzhou Governor was already in name but actually became the prefect of Bohai.
Although the position of the Bohai Prefect is countless times better than that of Liu Bei a few years ago, I am afraid that people will compare with each other, so the gap will come.
Chen Xi seemed to see Liu Bei's loneliness, so he said, "Lord, don't be discouraged. The world is not yet a foregone conclusion. Chu Zimou may not be able to unify the world. All the princes in the world are heroes, not comparable to Yuan Shu, Kong Yichang, Kong Rong, Liu Dai and others. They will not be defeated by Chu Zimou."
Liu Bei put down the wine bottle and sighed: "To make achievements, you should take advantage of your youth. Today, we are divided by the great princes, and when we are in our thirties, we are in a dilemma, so how can we turn around?"
Chen Xi whispered: "The lord can make friends with civil officials and military officials from Pingyuan Tianqi, Jizhou Zhao Long, Yuan Shao and other forces, and wait for changes. Perhaps there is still a chance to succeed."
