The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251 The Northern Expedition
Chapter 260 Three Northern Expeditions

Chen Ziming's long-awaited Northern Expedition is finally about to begin. There are three goals for this Northern Expedition. The first one is to escape to Woju and establish a new Koguryo Kingdom under Dongchuan Wang Gaoyou.

The second is Xiao Shen State, which is currently being jointly attacked by King Dongchuan and Fuyu. Now Xiao Shen State has been occupied by Goguryeo and Fuyu established by King Dongchuan, and King Xiao Shen even sent an envoy to Xu Huang for help.

The third goal is the Fuyu Kingdom. Goguryeo was established by the former Prince Ju Mong of the Fuyu Kingdom, so Goguryeo and Buyeo are considered a family, and it makes sense for the two countries to jointly attack Xiao Shen.

These three countries, Woju is not big, with an area of ​​only more than 4 square meters, which is about the size of a county in the Han Dynasty, and the population is only about [-]. Now it is occupied by King Dongchuan. The [-] troops brought from Goguryeo oppressed the people of Woju and raised food and grass, so that they were able to attack Xiao Shen.

And Xiao Shen is bigger, with almost 20 square meters and a population of one million. Unfortunately, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is too poor, and the weapons and equipment are very backward. They still use bronze as weapons. It is a very backward country.

As for Fuyu, it is about the same age as Xiao Shen, but Fuyu is much stronger than Xiao Shen, but the so-called strength is relative, compared with the Han Dynasty, Fuyu is still very weak, at least the proportion of iron in the weapons used by Fuyu is very low, and They are all made of pig iron, and the technology is not yet mature.

The combined area of ​​these three countries is almost 50 square meters, covering a very large area, and these three places have very rare mineral resources and many rare medicinal materials, and the land is fertile, very suitable for growing wheat .

So despite the cold climate in these three places, they have fed nearly 200 million people, which is already comparable to the rich states of the big man.

Further north of these three countries is the border of the European continent. In later generations, many of these places are Russian territories, but the people living here are indeed yellow people with black hair and yellow skin, that is to say, they can be regarded as real. A real Asian.

To the north of the three countries is Europe, to the west is the sea, to the south is Jizhou established by Liu Bei, and to the east is Wuheng.

The three countries of Woju, Xiaoshen, and Buyeo are lined up, with Woju to the west, the sea to the west, and Xiaoshen to the east; Xiaoshen is in the middle, Buyeo is to the east of Xiaoshen, and Wuheng is to the east of Buyeo.

So Fuyu is the most powerful, because Fuyu has been fighting against Wu Heng all the year round, both in terms of combat effectiveness and production technology are much higher than Xiao Shen and Wo Ju.

Chen Ziming's plan is to occupy the three countries first, and divide them into the territory of the big Han. After digesting these three places, he will send the army forward from west to east, destroy Wuheng and Xianbei, and finally clean up the strongest The great Xiongnu assigned the entire prairie to the Han territory.

As for when to attack Wuheng, Xianbei and Xiongnu, Chen Ziming hadn't figured it out yet. After all, these three places were really too big, and they were boundless grasslands.

The place occupied by Wuheng, Xianbei and Xiongnu is the later Inner Mongolia and Mongolia, with a combined area of ​​more than 200 million square meters.

Conquering such a place, without a strong transportation force, is completely looking for death. Without sufficient preparations, Chen Ziming will never send a large army into these three places. Otherwise, if the logistics cannot keep up, no matter how many troops will starve to death fate.

Chen Ziming had already figured out that when Liu Bei conquered the prairie, at least he had to wait for Liu Bei to unify the Central Plains, develop technology, develop production technology, and when his strength was strong, he would put the entire prairie into the territory of the big man.

The northern expedition to the prairie is definitely a national battle, and it must not be started easily. At least Liu Bei has not yet possessed such strength to occupy the prairie. It is better to take down the fertile land of Buyeo and other three countries first.

After the beginning of spring, when the weather warmed up, Xu Huang's army stationed in Jizhou began to dispatch, targeting Woju, a small country in the north. Although King Gaoyou of Dongchuan had announced that Woju was a thing of the past, it was now the territory of Goguryeo.

However, Xu Huang's army just used this as an excuse to vow to destroy King Dongchuan. There were [-] elite troops, including [-] cavalry.The weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated, all of which are newly replaced with the latest weapons.

In order to make the Northern Expedition go smoothly, Chen Ziming gave priority to supplying all the new military uniforms and weapons to Xu Huang's army. Now Xu Huang's army wears warm cotton clothes inside, light armor on the outside, sharp spears in their hands, and rides sturdy horses.

With such a terrifying army, not to mention the small countries in the north, even in the Central Plains, there is no vassal force that can handle it.

"Military commander, we will enter Woju in another [-] miles. According to the hidden guards, the king of Dongchuan, Gaoyou of Woju, is now leading an army to attack Xiao Shen, and Fuyu's army is attacking Liangdu, the capital of Xiao Shen. Now Woju is only guarded by [-] troops led by Su Yang, the general of the King of Dongchuan, and it is easy to win. After occupying Woju, we will lead the army into Xiaoshen, and together with Xiaoshen's army, we will wipe out the soldiers of Goguryeo and Fuyu. Then occupy the entire Xiaoshen, and finally attack Fuyu." Xu Huang rode on horseback and walked side by side with Liu Ye, looked at the long line, and started talking to Liu Ye.

"However, although there are 40 soldiers and horses in these three places, the soldiers' combat strength is low and their weapons are backward. They must not stop our tiger-like army. It is easy to win the three places, but it is not easy to govern the three places. The people of the three places do not speak the same language as the great Han, their habits are different, they are not educated, they have a large population, we only have one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, scattered all over the place, and the air crash suppressed the rebellion of the people of the three places." Liu Ye didn't like Fuyu at all The soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang are like no one in the world.

What Liu Ye is worried about now is how to govern the three places, but Chen Ziming has said that he will bring the three places under Liu Bei's rule, and even plans to turn the three places into one state and establish a new state like Jizhou.

This is an act of expanding the territory, and Liu Ye also supports it, but Liu Ye has no good way to govern the alien race. Using a large army to suppress it is a helpless move, and it is not the best policy, but these alien races Without education, it is really difficult to make them settle down.

"Military commanders don't need to worry. The people of Goguryeo who were not the same people in the past are not the people of my Han Dynasty now. They live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's aspirations are what the people want. And now there are many people from Jizhou in the army." Xu Huang looked confident, following Chen Ziming for so long , Xu Huang has learned a lot in dealing with alien races.

"Oh, what is General Gongming planning to do?" Liu Ye asked the confident Xu Huang with great interest.

"Haha, there is no one else but to kill the ears. After our army occupies the three lands, we will kill the clan, divide the fields, collect the hearts of the people, and shake the world." Xu Huang recalled that Chen Ziming led them to kill in the land of Sanhan. , I sighed in my heart, Ziming's military division is so talented that he can think of such a way.
