Chapter 255
Three days later, a full 200,000 troops were ready to go.
Wang Tong, who had been under house arrest for many days, was also pulled out to light up his portrait, and then he was quickly stuffed into the carriage and continued to be locked up.
Deng Yan, Lu Kuang, Gao Xiang, Zhao Shen and other people who were in charge of staying in Xiangping saw off the army.
There were too many unstable factors in the city of Xiangping, so Shang Ji left all the non-cavalry special arms behind, and at the same time left several generals to prevent accidents.
If Xiangping, which he just got, is lost because of going out to fight, the loss outweighs the gain.
"Brother, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, this trip is precious!" Deng Yan said, cupping his hands.
"Don't worry, I will do what I can for my brother!" Shang Ji promised with a slight smile.
The support this time is different from the last time we rushed to assist Xiangping.
The last time the Xianbei people directly attacked Liaodong, and Liaodong has been regarded as the basic market by Shang Ji, so Xianbei is naturally not allowed to act recklessly, and needs to do everything possible to resist.
However, this time the Xianbei people were in Yuyang, Guangyang, Daijun and other places thousands of miles away. This time they went to hunt for meritorious achievements and robbed Xianbei to train soldiers. Naturally will not act recklessly.
For this reason, all the members of the army on this trip are cavalry, and at the last time they are also fourth-level fine cavalry.
Among them, there are 10,000 Black Armored Black Cavalry, Lieyang Cavalry, Dayan Iron Cavalry, and Wolf Cavalry each, and 20,000 Wandering Dragon Bow Cavalry, with a total of 60,000 special arms, and their combat power is quite powerful.
"Hong Zhu, the city of Xiangping is not stable. I have ordered Baishou to closely monitor all movements in the city. If there is any abnormal situation, remember not to be indecisive, and to act when it is time to act!" Shang Ji lowered his voice, whispered, and at the same time Made a one-handed chopping gesture.
Deng Yan hesitated for a while, but nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, brother, brother Yu understands!"
Deng Yan's character is soft-hearted at best, but indecisive at worst!
This kind of personality is naturally fine as a support, but as the commander of the side that sits in charge, it is somewhat inappropriate. For this reason, Shang Ji deliberately left Zhao Shen, who has a decisive and resolute personality, and matched with Deng Yan to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other to ensure the safety of the rear.
"Yi Jie, I hope that when I return with my army, the defenders in Xiangping City will be able to advance to the fourth-level elite!" Shang Ji looked at Lu Kuang and said.
"The final general will surely live up to my lord's great trust!" Lu Kuang said in a deep voice.
"The situation in this battle is special. The enemy troops are all cavalry troops. Heavy armored sword soldiers, giant axe soldiers, and northern crossbows are not very effective. But I ask you not to be discouraged. You need to demand yourself with stricter standards. It is very broad, and one day there will be a place for you to use it!"
Shang Ji glanced at the commanders of the special arms who were in charge of staying behind, and said loudly.
"Follow my lord's instruction!" Lu Kuang, Zhao Shen and others replied in unison.
After a few more words of encouragement, after several people said goodbye respectfully, they turned around and stepped on the horse, starting a new journey.
Shang Ji, Tai Shici, Liu Meng, Qin Ping and others led 40,000 special troops as forwards, while Liu Yi was in charge of commanding more than 100,000 fine cavalry as the Chinese army, and Su Huan led 20,000 wandering dragon bow cavalry to hunt around. Secure the flanks.
The army was full of cavalry, and they were marching very fast. They started from Xiangping and headed west. One day later, they had already reached the border of Liaodong County.
"My lord, the front is the territory of Liaodong's vassal state, should we take a detour?"
Qin Ping rode his horse to come to Shang Ji's side and asked in a low voice.
Shang Ji frowned, his face was ugly: "Our army is an official army of the imperial court, and was ordered to rush to the aid of Guangyang and other counties. Why did we take a detour?"
"My lord! This is not the time to be arrogant!"
Qin Ping also had a bad face, but in the end he continued to persuade.
"Hmph, now is not the time. In the future, the Liaodong vassal state must be restored to Changli County!" Shang Ji murmured, turned his horse's head, and detoured.
Qin Ping also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, he was really afraid that Shang Ji would not listen to his persuasion, and forced his army to pass through the Liaodong vassal state.
The so-called vassal state is a special administrative region set up by the Han Dynasty for foreign nationalities who voluntarily submit to it. There are official positions such as the vassal captain, the vassal prime minister, the vassal marquis, and the vassal thousand people.
Among them, the function of the subordinate state captain is similar to that of the county guard, with a rank higher than two thousand stones and a half level lower than the county guard, but it is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.
At the beginning, these vassal states were an important military force for the Han Dynasty to resist the Xiongnu. The military forces of the vassal states in various places were quite strong, and they were one of the important components of the frontier armed forces.
However, with the decline of the Eastern Han court, these vassal states became more and more disobedient, and the Liaodong vassal state is one of the typical ones!
The vassal state of Liaodong was used to accommodate the Wuhuan people. As Wuhuan gradually grew bigger, the entire vassal state is now under the sphere of influence of the Wuhuan people. In the vassal state of Liaodong, the emperor's orders are like a dead letter. The city cannot be completely controlled, a typical representative of tiger breeding.
Now that the Xianbei army is invading southward, the situation in the Han Dynasty is like a broken bamboo, and the Wuhuan people are ready to move. The court has spent a lot of effort to appease them. At this time, leading the army directly into the Liaodong vassal state is a desperate move to add fuel to the fire.
At this time, if Wuhuan really rebelled and echoed the Xianbei army in Yuyang, Guangyang, Shanggu and other places, the whole Youzhou would be engulfed in flames.
Of course, if Shang Ji forced his way in, the 200,000 troops would really not be a match for the Wuhuan army in Liaodong. And wait for state capacity.
Being able to beat Gongsun Zan violently for a while, Shang Ji can't afford to provoke him for the time being!
"My lord, don't be upset, wait until the Xianbei army is resolved and the strength of Liaodong County is integrated, and then teach the Xianbei people a lesson!" Qin Ping chased after him, comforting softly.
"Zizheng, do you still remember the theory of the danger of foreign races in the Northeast that you once said?" Shang Ji asked Qin Ping suddenly on the horse.
"Ping naturally remembers that talking with the lord at that time benefited Ping a lot!"
"Wuhuan was said to be the second greatest threat?"
"Ping did say that." Qin Ping nodded.
"Remember, after this battle, Wuhuan will be the number one threat!" Shang Ji waved his hand and glanced in the direction of the Liaodong vassal state, gritted his teeth and said.
According to historical records, after this battle, He Lian was killed in Han, and the Xianbei Alliance fell into a long-term internal struggle for the position of Master Xianbei, and its strength was greatly reduced.
The next rise will have to wait until the Sima family in the Western Jin Dynasty has finished fighting the Eight Kings Rebellion.
Although this is just the trend of Xianbei in history, it does not mean that it will definitely happen. But with the player's current strength, he is still unable to have a significant impact on such a major historical plot.
In other words, in this battle, there is a 90% chance that Helian will die directly in Han, which is one of the reasons why Shang Ji rushed to support him.
Master Xianbei Alliance!
In terms of status and status, he is not much worse than Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, even if he gets a little bit of leftovers, it is enough for Shang Ji to eat his mouth full of oil!
