Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters sword finger outside the plug
Yan Liang's achievements are shocking the past and the present. I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass them from ancient times to the present. High-quality updates are here
As soon as the movable type printing technique was released, Yan Liang immediately promoted it to the world, so that everyone in the world, whether in government or folk bookstores, could use movable type printing technique to print books.
Once this movable type printing technique was implemented, all the literati in the world were shocked and surprised by the magic of this technique. They admire Yan Liang even more and more, and they regarded Yan Liang as a god.
For Yan Liang, helping his wife invent movable type printing was just a pastime when he was free when he was fighting.
Yan Liang's eyes were always bound to be outside the frontier.
Before we knew it, several months had passed, summer went and autumn came, and a great harvest spread across the country.
Since the beginning of spring, there have been good weather, no major floods and droughts, and no locust plagues, all the states in the world have achieved good harvests, and the grain output of Jingyang Prefectures in the south has even reached the level since Yan Liang's rule.
In the years after the war ended in the Henan prefectures, the economy has also been greatly restored. The grain output of Henan and Yanzhou has also been greatly improved this year. Although there is still a gap compared with the world's chaos.
, but it also reached the maximum since the Dong Zhuo Rebellion.
The grain harvest is good, and the grain tax is naturally abundant. The food and grass collected from all over the country are all piled up like mountains.
An unexpected bumper harvest laid the foundation for Yan Liang's battle to go out of the frontier.
Yan Liangsui passed on an order to order the three states of Yanqing and Xu to continue to travel to Hebei and to gather in the northern part of Youbing and the two states.
At the same time, Yan Liang also sent secret commanders to the generals and ordered them to rectify their troops, gather in a low-key manner towards the northern border, and prepare for a battle to go out to the frontier.
While Yan Liang transferred food and troops, in order to confuse Tuoba Liwei, at Pang Tong's suggestion, he sent an envoy to Xianbei to persuade Tuoba Liwei to hand over Sima Yi and pay tribute to the Great Chu.
In this way, Yan Liang could create his intention to resolve relations with the Xianbei through diplomatic means, thereby preparing for the dispatch of troops.
Not long after the envoy was sent, Yan Liang was in the Secret Hall in Yecheng. The high-quality update summoned all the important civil and military officials to discuss the plan to destroy the Xianbei.
A huge map has been laid on the ground of the main hall, which is the information sent back from outside the Great Chu in recent years.
The Xianbei people lag behind in production. They could not produce many things. Silk, tea and ceramics and other Central Plains specialties were the favorites of those Xianbei nobles.
Therefore, in recent years, although the court has ordered the severance of trade with the Xianbei, secret smuggling has been difficult to eliminate. There are always some vendors who are not afraid of death who risk going out to engage in smuggling trade for huge profits.
In order to confuse the Xianbei people, the court did not order severe crackdowns. It only turned a blind eye to this kind of smuggling trade.
Moreover, this kind of smuggling is also beneficial to the court.
The Jinyiwei, led by Ma Su, entered the territory of the Xianbei people by pretending to be a smuggling vendor. In the name of running a merchant, he secretly deployed the troops of the Xianbei people outside the border. All the places were almost waiting for military secrets, and they were all drawn.
After a detailed map, I sent it back to Yecheng continuously.
This huge map in front of the hall is made up of detailed information.
Looking down at this map, all the secrets of the Xianbei people were in full view.
"You can tell me how I will destroy the Xianbei people this time?" Yan Liang looked around the ministers and asked loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Pang Tong stood up and pointed to the huge map in the hall: "The power of Xianbei people has four points from south to north, Dingxiang, Baidao, Tieshan and Yinshan Pass. I think we are the only way to go.
At these four points, it is no problem to do enough work and destroy the Xianbei people."
Yan Liang's eyes swept on the map and stared at the four dots on the map.
The grasslands outside the border are divided into northern and southern deserts. The south of the desert is from the Great Wall to the large grasslands between the Yinshan Mountains, and crossing the Yinshan Mountains and the desert Gobi to the north, which is the wider Mongolian Plateau.
Because the southern desert is close to the Central Plains, it facilitates trade and loots of Han land, most of the Xianbei people live in the southern desert. High-quality and updated
Going north from Yanmen and less than fifty miles from the Great Chu border, Dingxiang City is the closest stronghold to the Han area by the Xianbei people and the base for advances that the Xianbei people went south to plunder over the years.
Further north is Baidao City, and further north is Tieshan, which is the hinterland of the Xianbei people, with plump water and grass, and Xianbei women, children, cattle and sheep gathered there.
Yinshan Pass is an important passage from southern Moon to northern Moon. As long as Yinshan Pass is guarded, the passage from southern Moon and northern Moon can be blocked.
Over the years, Tuoba Liwei has been in charge of Baidao City, relying on Dingxiang in the south and Tieshan in the north, and ruled the Xianbei tribes in the central region.
As Pang Tong said, if you want to destroy the Xianbei, as long as you smash those four dots, the Xianbei people will naturally be destroyed.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, agreed with Pang Tong's words, and had already begun to conceive a layout in his mind.
"Since Tuoba Liwei destroyed Ke Bineng, he had moved his tent from Baidao to Dingxiang, clearly guarding against our army from Yanmen to attack, and the grassland was not as good as the Central Plains. He wanted to take down Dingxiang, where the enemy troops were stationed heavily.
The city is not that easy.” Fa Zheng said worriedly.
Fa Zheng said it is not unreasonable. In the Central Plains, Yan Liang could use his absolute superior force to siege the city, and then use a sharp weapon like a city-breaking cannon to break the city.
But it is not possible on the grassland. If infantry crosses the vast grassland to transport siege equipment, the Xianbei light cavalry on the road can attack freely, but I am afraid that the troops will be destroyed halfway before they reach the front line.
Moreover, the infantry acted slowly. As long as there was a slight movement, the Xianbei people would notice it. A large number of troops were added to Dingxiang, which would be even more unfavorable to the use of troops.
To destroy the Xianbei people, they could only dispatch cavalry.
However, Tuoba Liwei can use Xianbei cavalry in his hands, and the number of cavalry in Da Chu is about 60,000, and the number of cavalry in Da Chu is about 60,000, 60,000 to 60,000. The enemy is backed by Dingxiang, and the Chu army will be determined.
Not an advantage.
"I have a trick to attack three ways and intercept each other, which may be caught by the way. "At this time, Yan Liang's tactical master made a comment.
In terms of strategy, Pang Tong was unscrupulous, but when it comes to simple tactics, Xu Shu was better.
"What kind of trick Yuan Zhi has?" Yan Liang became excited.
Xu Shu then went on duty and pointed at the huge map, revealing his three-way plan.
Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and other advisers nodded and said yes, while old ministers such as Tian Feng and Xu You all expressed their approval.
After hearing this, Yan Liang nodded and said, "If Yuan Zhi's plan is feasible, the key to this plan is that the soldiers are the speed of the war, forcing Tuoba Liwei to make a wrong judgment in panic. As for how fast it is,
I need to think of some more solutions.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu You came out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister also has a plan. I will definitely ask Tuoba Liwei to be unprepared and be caught off guard by us."
Yan Liang made a great spirit and waved his hand to signal Xu You to speak freely.
Xu You then stroked his white beard and turned his plan out.
However, when he listened to the counselors, he couldn't help but nodded, and all secretly claimed to be wonderful.
Bang!
Yan Liang slapped the table and said happily: "It's very good, just use the plan of Ziyuan and Yuanzhi. You and others follow the plan. Soon the army will go out to the frontier and attack the captives!"
On that day, Yan Liang and a group of advisers agreed on a plan to destroy the Xianbei.
The civil officials made up a plan and sent out secret decrees. The generals began to take action in secret, ready to wait for dispatch at any time.
Two days later, a team of missionaries set off from Yecheng, headed north to Youzhou, and headed outside the frontier.
The envoys of Chu State were not the Xianbei in the western part where Tuoba Liwei was located, but the Xianbei in the eastern part headed by Murong tribe.
Within a few days, the envoy crossed the Great Wall and entered the eastern Xianbei territory.
When the Xianbei Lord Murong Hong heard that the envoy of the Great Chu was coming, he rushed to lead more than 10,000 troops out of Wang Tingya's tent and went a hundred miles away to welcome the envoy of the Great Chu.
It is no wonder that since Murong Hong left Kebineng's rule, he has nominally regarded Da Chu as the sect leader and regarded himself as a foreign country.
Although he annexed some of the central Xianbei tribes in the previous period, his strength increased greatly and could even compete with Tuoba Liwei, this person still dominated Yan Liang and even sent missions to Yecheng to pay tribute to Yan Liang repeatedly.
In Yan Liang's opinion, Murong Hong, the Hu Chief, was very smart. He clearly realized the strength of the Great Chu. Even though he knew that Yan Liang had always adopted the policy of massacres against the Hulu, he also did not show his sword before Yan Liang showed his sword.
I dare not disrespect Yan Liang.
It was precisely because of this that when he heard that the Chu envoy came, Murong Hongcai came to greet him with a great gift.
When the Chu envoy saw Murong Hong, he gave him Yan Liang's reward, and according to Yan Liang's order, he officially appointed him as the Xianbei Lord in the Eastern Region.
Murong Hong was naturally overjoyed and thanked Yan Liang for his kindness, but his joy did not last long. The second imperial edict from Yan Liang that Chu envoy took out made Murong Hong's face immediately gloomy.
Yan Liang said in that decree that he admired Murong Hong's loyalty and ordered him to go to Yecheng to meet the saints, and Yan Liang would like to personally commend him.
Murong Hong, who was originally happy, immediately turned dark when he heard the order, and the nobles of the Murong tribe also changed color one after another.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, are you going to summon me to Yecheng to meet the saint?" Murong Hong asked afterwards, as if he couldn't believe Yan Liang's will.
"Your Majesty's will is here, Lord Murong can see it yourself." The Chu envoy handed over the imperial edict to him.
Murong Hong took it and looked carefully. Sure enough, it was clearly written in black and white on it. Yan Liang was indeed going to summon him to meet the saint in the capital.
"What do you want to appreciate me? I have to reward me personally. Once I enter Yejing, I am afraid I will be under house arrest on the spot. At that time, Yan Liang can destroy my Eastern Xianbei without any effort. This Yan Liang is really sinister...
”
Murong Hong cursed in his heart, and he had seen through Yan Liang's intentions, but he was very embarrassed.
Didn’t you, Murong Hong, swear to be loyal to the Great Chu? Now that the Emperor of Great Chu wants to see you, it is reasonable for you to come to the court to meet the saints, but it is the duty of a minister. If you refuse, isn’t it equivalent to resisting the order?
But if you obey the will, won’t you be able to fall into the trap and stretch out your head and let Yan Liang chop it?
For a moment, Murong Hong was in a state of embarrassment with the will. (To be continued...)
