Chapter 704. The first move to conquer the west, the ant battle!

This time, Wang Hou gathered the greatest force since his rebellion, but this battle was also the hardest battle in his life!

The biggest enemy is not Ma Chao or Han Sui, but the distance! Yongzhou is a state with east-west terrain and extremely narrow terrain. It almost collapsed Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia in later generations, and reached the farthest part of Qinghai. This is only the distance from Yongzhou, and it has been to northern Gansu in later generations. It is now also the most bordered Jiuquan in Liangzhou. Dunhuang is more than 2,600 miles away, which is even further away from Liucheng to Guihua City.

Moreover, Dunhuang is not over the end. There is also a Qiang settlement area to the south, which means that when it reaches Dunhuang, Wang Hou may run away from both ends. After regaining the western gate of the Han Empire, he has to rush to the Qinghai Plateau to fight.

Wang Hou had never fought such a conquest war before. Although it was far away from Liaodong, he first laid a nail in Lianjiao City, and waited for someone to come to the door, annihilate the opponent's main force and launch an attack, which was only a few hundred miles away.

The Battle of Wujun is indeed at this distance, but the problem is that it is not for the purpose of conquering the war order. It just grabs a vote and runs away. The Guandu War was also an inside battle. The expedition to Xuzhou was considered the most advanced war. The test of Wang Hou's logistics ability was only a few hundred miles of supply line. As for Guihua City, pure Kebi Neng's lead in the house was not considered a war.

This time, it was a 2,600-mile supply line that I had a strong belief, especially this one was still a barren land with sparsely populated and rugged terrain. Later generations Wang Hou had passed by Gansu for a long time, and the dusty and rugged road left a very deep impression on him. It was the future generations of people everywhere! Now, the chaotic world with almost being wiped out, I don’t know what it looks like!

But! No matter how difficult it is, you have to continue to beat it. The hot potato I took over has become hot and bubbled, and I have to eat it even when I cried!

Fortunately, this war and the Battle of Red Cliffs fought by Cao Cao were like this. The ending may not be possible, but the beginning was particularly smooth!

Because in this period, only the biggest enemy is fighting against the Liaodong Army, that is the distance!

The section of Guihua City that could mobilize Xianbei people to transport military rations to ancient Yulin Pass. Ancient water transportation was really important for marching. After entering Yulin Pass, the discharge was smooth and the Luoshui was carried out south to Pucheng. Here, the newly dug Zhengguo Canal played a role again. The Qiang people also had the labor troupe and recruited Goguryeo men. The people of Datong Jianghan came here to ignite sparks. Tens of thousands of people were eating military rations while transporting military rations.

The hills of dozens or hundreds of bags of military rations were piled up on the wooden rafts. On the shore, the cattle captured from the Qiang people were the main force. The people also carried the ropes and pulled the heavy rafts up the water with force. The generals dragged the military rations from the turbid Luoshui to the clear Wei River, and once again went upstream, and finally arrived at the birthplace of the Jing River, Guyuan! Liupan Mountain!

Up to now, one million scattered rations were not fought in a single battle, and there were only 700,000 scattered scattered. And the time was from the end of April to July. In another two months, the wheat in Guanzhong could be ripe again.

However, during this march, there was no need to fight, and the results of the battle came. The army left Jingzhao County. The passing Xinping County Governor Li Tong and the county magistrate Zhao Huan personally welcomed the Daxing Taiwan Army in Xinping County. Before Xinping County was released, the Fufeng County Governor Wei He, located in the south of Xinping County, and the county magistrate Guo Gao also led his troops to surrender personally.

After coming to Guanzhong, Wang Hou did not expand westward except to recruit the troops of the defeated warlords of other counties to come to the capital. This time, he was fine. Before he fought, when the army reached Jingyang, the entire eight counties of Yongzhou had not been released, and Wang Hou was basically taken over by Wang Hou. Moreover, the counties sent troops to meet his army, which made the Liaodong expedition to the west expand to 150,000.

However, the revival of Yongzhou is still rough. The county magistrates and generals of each county were basically after Dong Zhuo was in chaos. Whoever was capable was promoted, and most of the local tyrants who had the power to be granted the title of officials to him were not investigated. However, Wang Hou did not pursue this in depth. After all, you are qualified or not. As long as you come to surrender, you will be promulgated.

So the most depressing person in the crowd became Sima Yi, who was forcibly recruited by Wang Hou, who was the governor of Yongzhou. Logically speaking, he should be managed by the county magistrates of Yongzhou. But on the one hand, the senior officials were crushed to death. On the other hand, the local tyrants in these places were called "My mother" and "Wang Hou had food and soldiers in his hands. He had a lot of support from Guandong clans behind him. Now he didn't even have a hundred personal soldiers, and no one was afraid of him at all.

Moreover! Although Wang Hou was born in the Wang family in Jinyang, he has been wandering around Qingzhou or playing soy sauce in Liaodong in recent years. His origin can be vaguely regarded as the Liaodong clan. Compared with Sima Yi, the Kanto clan with a strong root, his background is more likely to be accepted by the poor Kanto clans who are also suppressed by Guandong.

Sima Yi wanted to make a fortune in the western battlefield of the empire, establish military merits and create prestige, as in history, and it seemed that there was a long way to go.

However, after the stopping army arrived in Jingyang, Wang Hou's good days ended, because the Jing River had already ended here, and then went upstream to the Liupanshan Mountains in Gansu, further away from the main battlefield. Even now, his army is located in the north of the upcoming battlefield.

Ma Chao is really not a vegetarian. Before conquering Guanzhong last year, he said that Tianshui, Nan'an Longxi and other major counties that still belonged to Liangzhou at this time were captured. He even attacked Wei Kang, the governor established by Cao Cao in Liangzhou, and captured the Yicheng, the capital of Liangzhou at that time.

The roads on Longshan are not easy to walk! Especially when Jingyang goes south, there are no rivers that can use the help of transporting military rations!

But fortunately! One of the major advantages of Wang Hou’s army is that there are enough cavalry!

"Everyone, your combat goal is to grab it! It's just to burn it! It's just to eat it! Try to burn every piece of wheat field of the thief! It's all their pasture!"

Early in the morning, a cowhide map of Guanlong was placed on the battle table. Wang Hou pointed his fingers on it with murderous intent, and even flew to He Laihun's face opposite, pointing to the vast Tianshui Anyang County under the map, shouting with murderous intent.

"The Art of War" says that if you eat the enemy for one bell, you should be twenty bells; if you are afraid of one stone, you should be twenty stones! July and August are the time when the wheat on Longshan is about to mature. Before leaving, the fighting strategy he formulated was to be unable to match the belly of Ma Chao, Han Sui, Qiang and Di people, and to get rid of your food and food and disasters. Let's see how you can play with me!

This order was so popular with these famous robbers on the grassland. There were about forty Xianbei generals, more than ten Xiongnu generals, and even the few Wuhuan leaders who came to be civilians were all excited and held their fists heavily.

"I will obey the order!"

There was also a female voice mixed in the crowd, which was particularly crisp and pleasant.
