- Yan Liang's achievements shocked the past and present, and it is difficult for anyone to surpass him throughout the ages. High-quality updates are here
As soon as movable type printing came out, Yan Liang soon promoted it to the world, so that everyone in the world, whether it was government or private bookstores, could use movable type printing to print books.
As soon as this movable type printing technique was introduced, everyone in the world was shocked. They were all amazed at the magic of this technique. They admired Yan Liang even more, and almost regarded Yan Liang as a god.
For Yan Liang, helping his wife invent movable type printing was just a pastime when he had nothing to do after the war.
Yan Liang¡¯s eyes were always fixed on the outside of the wall.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Since the beginning of spring, the weather has been smooth, with no major floods, droughts, or locust plagues, all states in the world have enjoyed bumper harvests of grain and grass. The grain output of the two southern states of Jingyang has even reached the highest level since the reign of Yan Liang.
In the years after the war ended in the Henan provinces, the economy has also recovered greatly. The grain output of Henan and Yanzhou has also been greatly improved this year, although there is still a gap compared with before the chaos. , but it also reached the highest value since Dong Zhuo's Rebellion.
The grain harvest was good, and the grain wealth was naturally abundant. In the government offices north and south of the Yangtze River, the grain and grass collected were piled up like mountains.
An unexpected bumper harvest laid the foundation for Yan Liang's expedition to the fortress.
Yan Liangsui passed down the decree and ordered General Si Yanqing and Xu to send grain and grass from the three states to Hebei and to gather in the north of Youbin and Erzhou.
At the same time, Yan Liang also sent secret collars to each general. They were ordered to reorganize their troops and assemble in a low-key manner towards the northern border, preparing for a battle.
Yan Liang was adjusting food and troops at the same time. 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 Da Chu.
In this way, Yan Liang can create the impression that he intends to use diplomatic channels. In order to resolve the relationship with Xianbei, he used this to prepare for sending troops.
Not long after the envoy was sent, Yan Liang was in the secret palace in Yecheng. High Quality Update summoned all the important civil and military ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Xianbei.
A huge map has been laid on the ground of the main hall in recent years. Da Chu carefully prepared the information sent back from outside the Great Wall.
The Xianbei people are backward in production. They cannot produce many things. Central Plains specialties such as silk, tea and ceramics are the favorites of the Xianbei nobles.
Therefore, in recent years, although the imperial court ordered to cut off trade with Xianbei, secret smuggling has been difficult to put an end to. There are always some traders who are not afraid of death for huge profits. Venture out of the border to engage in smuggling trade.
In order to confuse the Xianbei people, the imperial court did not order a severe attack. We only turn a blind eye to this smuggling trade.
¡° Moreover, this kind of smuggling is also beneficial to the court.
The Jinyiwei under the command of Ma Su swaggered into the territory of the Xianbei people by pretending to be smugglers. In the name of doing business, they secretly deployed the Xianbei people's troops outside the Great Wall and mapped out all the dangerous places and other military secrets. Detailed maps were obtained and sent back to Yecheng continuously.
The huge map in front of the palace was drawn together using detailed information.
Looking down at this map, all the secrets of the Xianbei people are visible to Yan Liang.
"We have enough troops and food. Tell us, how should I 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 palace: "The power of the Xianbei people has four points from south to north, Dingxiang, Baidao, Tieshan and Yinshan Pass. I think that as long as we On these four points, if you do enough, it will be easy to destroy the Xianbei people."
Yan Liang glanced at the map, staring at the four points on the map.
The grassland outside the Great Wall is divided into Mobei and Monan. Monan is the vast grassland from the Great Wall to the north to the Yinshan Mountains. Beyond the Yinshan Mountains and the Gobi Desert to the north is the broader Mongolian Plateau.
Because Monan is close to the Central Plains, it is convenient for trade and plundering the Han Dynasty, so most of the Xianbei people live in the Monan area. High quality updates
Out of Yanmen and heading north, less than fifty miles away from the border of Dachu, is Dingxiang City. It is the closest stronghold for the Xianbei people to the Han Dynasty, and it is also the base for the Xianbei people to move south to plunder over the years.
Further north is Baidao City, and further north is Tieshan, which is the hinterland of the Xianbei people. It has rich water and grass, and many Xianbei women, children, cattle and sheep gather there.
?? And Yinshan Pass is an important passage from Monan to Mobei.By guarding Yinshan Pass, we can block the passage from south to south and north to south.
Over the years, Tuoba Liwei has been based in Baidao City, with Dingxiang to the south and Tieshan to the north, ruling the Xianbei tribes in the central part.
As Pang Tong said, if you want to destroy Xianbei, you only need to smash those four points, and the Xianbei people will naturally be destroyed.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, agreeing with Pang Tong's words, and began to formulate a plan in his mind.
"Since Tuoba Liwei destroyed Ke Bineng, he has moved his tent from Baidao to Dingxiang. He is obviously on guard against our army attacking from Yanmen. The grassland is not as good as the Central Plains. He wants to capture Dingxiang where the enemy is heavily stationed. City, I'm afraid it won't be that easy," Fazheng said worriedly.
What Fazheng said is not unreasonable. When using troops in the Central Plains, Yan Liang could use his absolute superior force to besiege the city, and then use sharp weapons like city-breaking cannons to blast the city.
But this does not work on the grassland. If infantry is used to transport siege equipment across the vast grassland, Xianbei's light cavalry can attack at will halfway. They are afraid that the soldiers and horses will be destroyed halfway before they reach the front line.
" Moreover, the infantry moves slowly. As long as there is a slight movement, the Xianbei people will be aware of it and send a large number of troops to Dingxiang. This will not be conducive to the use of troops.
To destroy the Xianbei people, we can only use cavalry.
However, Tuoba Liwei can use the Xianbei cavalry in his hands, and the number should be about 60,000, while the number of Da Chu's cavalry is also about 60,000, 60,000 to 60,000. The enemy is backed by Dingxiang, and Yiyi is waiting to be determined. The Chu army will Not dominant.
"I do have a clever plan to advance in three directions and intercept them one by one, which may catch Tuoba Liwei off guard." At this time, Yan Liang's master tactician made some suggestions.
When it comes to general strategy, Pang Tong does his best, but when it comes to simple tactics, Xu Shu is the winner.
"What's Yuan Zhi's clever plan?" Yan Liang became excited.
Xu Shu then left the team and pointed on the huge map, explaining his three-way advance plan.
Pang Tong, Fazheng and other advisers nodded in agreement, and veterans such as Tian Feng and Xu You also expressed their approval.
After hearing this, Yan Liang nodded and said: "If Yuan Zhi's plan is feasible, the key to this plan lies in the speed of the soldiers, forcing Tuoba Liwei to make wrong judgments in panic. As for the speed, We need to think of some more solutions.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu You came out and said, "Your Majesty, I also have a plan. I guarantee that Tuoba Liwei will be defenseless and we will kill him by surprise."
Yan Liang was full of energy and waved his hand to signal Xu You to speak freely.
Xu You then stroked his white beard and revealed his plans and excuses.
Hearing this plan, all the counselors could not help but nod, and they all secretly claimed that it was clever.
Snapped!
Yan Liang stood up and said happily: "Very good, let's use Ziyuan and Yuan Zhi's plan. You all will act according to the plan. Soon the army will leave the fortress and attack the barbarians!"
That day, Yan Liang and a group of advisers decided on a plan to destroy Xianbei.
The civil servants made plans and sent out secret orders one after another. The generals began to move in secretly, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Two days later, a group of envoys who held the festival departed from Yecheng, headed north to Youzhou, and headed beyond the Great Wall.
The place where Chu envoys were sent was not the western Xianbei where Tuoba Liwei was located, but the eastern Xianbei headed by Murong.
Within a few days, the envoys crossed the Great Wall and entered the eastern Xianbei territory.
When Murong Hong, the lord of Xianbei in the east, heard that the Chu envoy was coming, he hurriedly led more than 10,000 troops to leave the royal tent and traveled a hundred miles to meet the Chu envoy.
It¡¯s no wonder that since Murong Hong broke away from Ke Bineng¡¯s rule, he has nominally regarded Da Chu as his suzerain state and regarded himself as a Fan state.
Although he annexed some of the Xianbei tribes in central China in the previous period and greatly increased his strength, and could even compete with Tuoba Liwei, he still served Yan Liang as his leader, and even repeatedly sent envoys south to Yecheng to pay tribute to Yan Liang.
In Yan Liang's view, Murong Hong, the Hu chieftain, was very smart. He clearly understood the strength of Dachu. Even though he knew that Yan Liang had always adopted a policy of massacre against the Hu captives, before Yan Liang showed his knife, he also I dare not disrespect Yan Liang.
It is precisely for this reason that when Murong Hong heard that the envoy from Chu was coming, he came to greet him in person with a great gift.
The envoy of Chu saw Murong Hong and gave him Yan Liang's reward. According to Yan Liang's will, he was officially canonized as the Lord of Xianbei in the East.
Murong Hong was naturally overjoyed and thanked Yan Liang for his kindness, but his happiness did not last long. The Chu envoy then took out Yan Liang's second imperial edict, which made Murong Hong's face immediately darken.
Yan Liang said in that edict that he admired Murong Hong's loyalty and ordered him to go there in personYan Liang will personally commend him when he meets the saint in Yecheng.
Murong Hong, who was originally cheerful, immediately turned dark when he heard this order, and the nobles from Murong's tribe also changed their expressions.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Chu, wants to summon ministers to Yecheng to meet the Holy Spirit?" Murong Hong asked, as if he couldn't believe Yan Liang's decree.
"Your Majesty's decree is here. Lord Murong, you can read it yourself." The envoy of Chu handed him the decree.
Murong Hong took it and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was clearly written in black and white on the paper. Yan Liang indeed wanted to summon him to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit.
"Why do you appreciate me and commend me personally? As soon as I enter Ye Jing, I am afraid that I will be put under house arrest on the spot. Then Yan Liang will be able to destroy me, Xianbei in the east, without any effort. This Yan Liang is really insidious "
Murong Hong cursed in his heart, he had seen through Yan Liang's intention, but he was very embarrassed.
"Didn't you, Murong Hong, swear to be loyal to Dachu? Now that the Emperor of Dachu wants to see you, isn't it reasonable for you to go to court to meet the emperor? It's your duty as a minister. If you refuse, wouldn't it be tantamount to disobeying the decree?"
But if you follow the will, won't you just throw yourself into a trap and stick your head out for Yan Liang to chop it off?
For a time, Murong Hong held the will and fell into a dilemma. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
