The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 629
"Open a road?" Luo Feng was taken aback, "My lord means..."

"That's right." Lin Yifan nodded, "Our army can dig mountains and dig roads while marching, and build a road leading to Andong City."

"Won't this slow down our army even more?" Luo Feng wondered, "Our army only has three months of food and grass. How long will it take to open a five hundred-mile road?"

"Of course it's impossible to open the road within three months." Lin Yifan smiled, "I will recruit a large number of workers from the grassland and Yanzhou to build the road. What our army has to do now is to cut down trees and open roads in every mountain. Build a bridge over the water, move forward slowly, and don’t give Donghu a chance to breathe. Since we can’t solve it quickly, then we will drag them down step by step.”

Next, the army stopped and began to clear the surrounding trees. The strength of 20 horses is enormous, but within a day, a clearing area ten miles long and 300 meters wide was cleared.

The felled wood is not wasted, and all of them are hoarded, waiting for the craftsmen from the rear to come, and then they can use the wood on the spot to build houses and all necessary tools.

Lin Yifan also sent people to Yanzhou and Tianlang City, ordering the chief officials of the two places to immediately recruit a group of workers to repair the road.

After a few days, the Hengshan Army maintained a daily distance of ten miles, slowly marching towards Andong City.Along the way, a straight passage stretches for dozens of miles.

It didn't take long for Huerle to get the latest information from the Hengshan Army. When he saw that the Hengshan Army had changed their previous strategy of marching quickly and switched to marching while opening the way, his face suddenly changed.If they were allowed to repair the road to the city of Tokyo, then he would have no chance of winning this battle.

Immediately, Huerle immediately ordered to mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to stop the Hengshan Army's actions.

Ten days later, the two sides finally had a large-scale battle.The [-] Eastern Hu Army surrounded the Hengshan Army like a huge net, attacking and harassing them everywhere, aiming to stop the Hengshan Army from opening their way.

Sure enough, this trick really worked. After being harassed by the Donghu army, the road opened this day was less than five miles.

Lin Yifan immediately dispatched [-] cavalry, and each cavalry division was equipped with a group of Donghu soldiers as guides.Also adopt the strategy of attacking from all sides, actively looking for traces of Donghu people.

All of a sudden, the two sides broke out fighting everywhere in the old forests of the mountains, or dozens of people fought, or thousands of people fought.With their weapons and combat power, the Hengshan Army is invincible everywhere.The threat of harassment by the Donghu people was immediately suppressed.

The workers who came later, under the escort of the army, continued to open up the road.

As more and more workers came from the rear, the speed of road development began to accelerate, moving forward at a speed of more than ten miles a day.

Kuerle finally despaired. The [-] soldiers sent out still couldn't stop the Hengshan Army's pace, and he also lost tens of thousands of soldiers because of this, which made him feel distressed.According to the speed of the Hengshan Army, it will take less than a month to reach Tokyo City, and the time left for him is running out.

Since we can't stay here, we can only retreat north.Gritting his teeth, Kuerle ordered the whole family to migrate.

As soon as this order came out, the whole family was shocked. They have lived here for generations. Once they migrate, it means that everything here will be wiped out. They have already tasted the taste of being masters, so they are not willing to follow Huerle to retreat north and suffer.

As a result, waves of opposition from the Mengwuer tribe spread everywhere, and some people were unwilling to give up the wealth here, and insisted on refusing to retreat north.

But Huerle is now the Khan King of the entire Donghu and the emperor of the Tianmeng Empire. How can his orders be disobeyed by these corrupt nobles who are greedy for glory.On the same day, he ordered the army to enter the city of Tokyo, execute all the nobles who refused to follow, confiscate all the wealth of servants, and demote their children and family members to slaves.

Afterwards, the army came out together, gathering the population and wealth of the tribes everywhere, and all of them coerced them into joining the army.However, within ten days, hundreds of thousands of mighty troops began to slowly march north, abandoning Tokyo City and their homes where they had settled down for generations.

Without the obstruction of the Donghu people, the speed of the Hengshan Army's opening of the road suddenly accelerated, and they continued to move forward.

Twenty days later, when the army was less than a hundred miles away from Andong City, the scouts finally sent back the news from the front.

At this time, there was no one in Andong City, and the wild land was full of ruins.

Lin Yifan's expression darkened, and he immediately ordered some soldiers to rush to Andong City first to investigate the situation.

Within a few days, I got a report that Andong City had become an empty city. Not only did it have no population, but everything that could be taken away was looted.

The settlements of the surrounding tribes were also destroyed, leaving only ruins.Fortunately, it was too hasty for Khuerle to gather all the ministries.Let the Hengshan army find the lost Donghu people among the tribes.After questioning, I realized that, it turned out that Huerle actually collected all the tribes and moved his family to the north.

When Lin Yifan heard the news, he couldn't help but secretly amazed at Huerle's courage.Only in this way, it will be very difficult to completely wipe out the remnants of Donghu.Now that it has withdrawn to the north for more than 20 days, it is impossible to pursue it.

"Well, whatever, let's stabilize Liaozhou first." Lin Yifan sighed, and immediately ordered the army to station in Andong City, assigning troops to search for the leftover Donghu people.

After a few days, the road from Bailuyuan to Andong City was opened.But it will take a lot of time to build a road.

Now that there was no one in Andong City, Lin Yifan temporarily placed the recruited workers in the city.After a period of searching, only a few thousand Donghu people were found.It can be said that this Liaozhou is already considered a piece of white land.The most urgent task at the moment is to relocate a group of people to enrich Liaozhou, so that the foundation can be stabilized here.

However, the reform on the grassland side has not been completed yet, and the system cannot be reformed here due to insufficient population. At present, only military control can be carried out first.

After staying in Andong City for half a month, Lin Yifan ordered Luo Feng to temporarily serve as General Anton, in charge of the defense of Liaozhou.Later, he led [-] cavalry back to Hengshan.After this point, Hengshan will enter into recuperation and will no longer raise troops.

However, just as Lin Yifan was about to set off, Cao Ziyan finally revealed his ambition in the Central Plains thousands of miles away.Forcing the young emperor to abdicate, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.The name of the country was changed to Tianwei, and the capital was established in Haocheng, Weizhou, which was called Haodu.

As soon as this move came out, the world was in an uproar.The Central Plains, which had finally stabilized, fell into chaos again.However, Cao Ziyan seems to be prepared, and has already deployed a large army to prevent riots everywhere.

Regardless of his old age, the protector Tang Tianhao led his secretly trained generals in an attempt to rescue the young emperor who had been imprisoned.In the end, his wish was not fulfilled, and thousands of soldiers and horses were brutally slaughtered. The protector, who was over 70 years old, also died on the spot.

When Cao Ziyan ordered people to raid the house, the family members of the Tang family had long since disappeared.
