In the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, a roar like thunder echoed over the walls of Gaishan City.

"Who...who..."

"Who else dares to fight me..."

Li Tieniu, the leader who was the first to choose the lead, was waving the blood-stained Xuanhua axe with one hand, pulling up the captured flag with the other hand, stepping on several corpses that were cut into two pieces, and roaring at the timid faces of the remaining defenders.

Then, like annotating and backgrounding his claim, the roar and flames that flew out from behind him instantly exploded between these dying defenders, taking away their last trace of courage and confidence.

After a while, only the figures of kneeling and begging for life were left. Then, the Qingshang Pegasus Flag, representing the former Lord Daluo family, and the Fenglei Flag of the Huai Army, fluttered on the first city that was restored...

And near the coastline north of Jian'anzhou,

With the hustle and bustle of smoke and dust, a long dragon lined up in several columns and nowhere to see the edges, winding between the undulating mountains and hills in the distance. The large and small flags of purple lightning and red flames seemed to have emerged from thin air, scattered over the transit camps and strongholds set up along the way.

Stepping on the drum beats and beats, marching in groups in groups in the vast snow and ice that had not completely melted, and looked lifeless and empty, but it also had a unique state of mind and flavor.

Compared to what I saw and heard before my last time, the situation seemed to be worse after more than two years. The ground was filled with villages and towns, nine out of ten bedrooms;

Even in the crowded towns, there are still people hiding in ruins and ruins everywhere, while the old, weak, women and children with pale faces and skinny faces are almost impossible to see the young and middle-aged people. Obviously, those with the ability or strength are either fleeing abroad or being captured by nearby forces.

Therefore, as a subsequent treatment measure and policy, at the location of the army, a huge transport team was followed, and a return camp consisting of young and middle-aged refugees who fled to the Liaodong Peninsula.

The former Luo family retainers headed by Luo Sijin came out to face the relatively limited comfort and relief of the places along the way; the most important thing was to transport farm tools and seeds from Huai land, organize them as soon as possible, and restore the local spring plowing and sowing production activities as much as possible.

If the manpower is still insufficient, we will be transferred from Huaidi in batches. In a sense, this is no less than the important tasks of forward operations and strategies, and a parallel strategy that takes two-pronged approach to military operations.

after all,

This Liaodong area is not as good as Huaibei. Even if the farming time is delayed, it can be interplanted and replanted. Although it is located in the black soil area, the soil is fertile, the farmland water conservancy development degree is high and the output is quite abundant, the growth cycle of crops is longer due to the rain and heat of the climate. Therefore, there can only be one season of harvest a year. Once it is delayed, it will not only be a problem of poor harvest and reduced yield, but it will never be able to remedy it.

After all, Huaizhen mobilized troops to sweep Liaodong so much was not to let itself carry a big burden out of thin air to play humanitarian rescue games.

The civil strife of Luo family caused the people under the rule to suffer a lot. Even if ordinary people have accumulated some surplus, they have already been tortured. What's more, there are independent forces from all sides who have plundered each other over and over again for their respective ambitions and desires. I am afraid that there is nothing left to leave except for a lot of hungry mouths.

However, if it is operated properly, it can be quickly stabilized by filling and restoring the gaps caused by war in a very short period of time; and finally, the authority of the ruling order and execution established by Huaizhen on the regaining territory;

After all, for the majority of people under the leadership of these war-torn people, the biggest thing is to eat and fill their stomachs. It is the stage where you can easily buy and gather people's hearts with lower costs and superficial means. It is just used to complete the smooth transition with the least daily impact and turmoil in terms of dominance and basic status.

As for the old Daluo family led by Luo Sijin, as the price of cooperating with our army in Liaodong and even Andongdao, as well as the conditions for compensation and compromise after the recovery of Liaodong?

That is, they gradually abandon the status of the general manager and the lord of the Andong princes and the great lords, as well as the corresponding ruling power and status transfer; to ensure that the generational life of the Yu clan of the Luo family is safe and the basic benefits of land and property, as well as the development opportunities such as officials and military officials in the Huaizhen system;

Of course, this part is managed and managed by Luo Sijin, whom I trust. After all, Huaizhen is not a place to do good deeds or raise lazy people and parasites without conditions.

However, these are all later stories; at present, they are still needed as facades and signs to continue to maintain the skin of the Luo family governing Andong; to cover up the illusion that the Luo family governing Andong is still governing Andong, and to deal with the possible controversy and condemnation of the southern court, as well as various subsequent actions and means.

"Report..."

A voice interrupted my meditation again.

"Zhe Keshi's troops who came out of the western Liaoning have already gone forward to Dongshan City... and captured the nearby Changqing, Fengling City, seven places..."

"Report..."

"The Dusang troops on the East Road have entered Tongzhou north and successively entered Tiecheng, Tangchi, and Zhemus City..."

"Report..."

"The front army first used the chariot camp, encountered thousands of enemy Xiangping troops in Lingming City, Haibei Prefecture, and set up a formation to break it..."

It seems that from now on, taking advantage of the sudden sending of troops at the turn of late winter and spring, it continues to play an unexpected role;

Therefore, the main force of the whole line, the two side divisions and a surprise soldier have not encountered decent resistance or large-scale resistance, and the specific casualties have always remained within ten figures.

However, for me, it is best to be able to pass through a wave of A; but I still hope that the enemy can be stimulated and oppressed and gathered together so that I can queue up and shoot and crush it.

If they were allowed to break them into pieces and scattered around the place and carry out frequent resistance and attacks, I would have to spend more time and effort.

"Report..."

Yu Hou, who was responsible for the report, reported again

"Fifteen city lords and nine Guanyi in Yaozhou, Chenzhou, Luzhou and Xiongyuezhou,"

"He led his troops and civilians and elders to come to the Jie Army to reward the army..."

"There are more than one hundred cows and four thousand sheep and pigs, eight thousand beans and thirty thousand tans of grass..."

"There are also silver silks for 5,500 silks, and 4,000 kilograms of variegated wine and water..."

Of course, most of these people were supported by the forces that Huaizhen was the edge buffer zone and goodwill forces of the three states of the peninsula when they withdrew their troops, or they simply sent people to bring them to change their banners and vests, and as forces developed in the local area to respond and instigate wedges.

With these leading the way and the internal forces as the forefront, it can be said that on the third day of the arrival of the army to Jian'an Prefecture, the four prefectures and dozens of towns in the northern part of the peninsula were almost without any resistance;

Then, with their assistance and guidance, the partial divisions of the East Road took Muzhou under their control as a springboard and easily captured Laizhou, Baozhou, Kaizhou and Dingzhou, which were adjacent to the Wugushui upstream in the southeast corner, in two days, although they were all small Xiazhou counties with narrow areas;

However, the small and medium-sized princes in the Wugu and Yalu River Basin were completely connected with the coast of the peninsula directly controlled by Huaizhen and the enclave of Bobaicheng in Shuangjiangkou. As the saying goes, the Huai Army's military front was all broken down, invincible, or they turned against Kaicheng to welcome him.

Therefore, they also collected about four or five thousand soldiers for me in the name of ministers and vassals, as well as double the number of civilians. Although most of the equipment and training are quite simple, only the symbolic role of power and momentum and scenes, I also need them as role models and demonstrations to reduce potential resistance and hostility in Liaodong.

Therefore, on the way to march, some of them were properly received and comforted, and benefits and futures were granted; it was also necessary means and processes to stabilize the rear and flanks.

The main force I am in continues to drive in, pointing directly to the surrounding area of ​​Liaodong City, which was stolen by the forces under the Boluo Club. This is also the main battlefield and the decisive strategic focus I expected.
Chapter completed!
