The Han army captured Shangluo, and after Yu Wenwen surrendered, he and Yu Wenliang also left the Lantian camp. Whether it was voluntarily or because his son was too cheating, Yu Wenliang had no choice. Nearly ten thousand people followed him.
The soldiers guarded Yu Wenliang and fought and retreated. When the memorial was issued, Xiao Shilian had already led his troops to cover and respond, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
For Xiao Shilian and Dahan, taking Lantian would further open the door to Chang'an. After all, Lantian's significance to Chang'an is the same as that of Fufeng and Feng Yi, and Lantian itself also has greater political significance.
Since the Qin State began to fight for hegemony in the world, Lantian has been the place where soldiers and horses were trained. The Qin State's army that unified the six countries also set out from here to conquer the world. Similar rules were also passed down from generation to generation, although the Han army was later stationed in
Ba Shang and other places, such as the famous Xiliu Camp, but Lantian is already a gathering place for first-class military and horse training.
From Bai Qi and Wang Jian in the pre-Qin Dynasty to Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and the Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai in the Han Dynasty, generations of famous generals passed here, leaving their indelible shadows in the long river of history.
Therefore, Lantian has become a symbol of the Chinese military to a large extent. Once Lantian is captured, the blow to the enemy's morale can be imagined.
The battle line Li Xingchen drew for Xiao Shilian was between Shangluo and Lantian. He did not ask Xiao Shilian to capture Lantian, but he at least wanted to make the enemy feel the threat from this aspect. Of course, Li Xingchen also believed that Xiao Shilian had led troops so many times, and he should have
There is still something to be said for whether he can win Lantian and how long this war will last. He should be able to make a better judgment than himself.
Of course, Li Xingchen was not the kind of emperor who had to draw blueprints for the army when they went to war. He was only responsible for controlling the general direction and formulating strategic goals. As long as the strategic goals could be achieved, judging from the current situation, the Han Dynasty's strategic goal should be encirclement.
Li Xingchen did not interfere with how the generals commanded and operated in Chang'an.
The independence of Han generals has always been cultivated by Li Xinchen. He must free the Han soldiers from dependence on him.
Facts have proved that Li Xingchen should be doing pretty well now. At least many young generals have begun to emerge, including Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, Li Xingchen's right-hand men, as well as Han Qinhu and Niu Hong, who have shown their talents this time.
Generals, and even future gods of war like Li Jing.
"Then your Majesty plans to fight to determine Guanzhong?" Yang Su asked with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Huang Qi, Tang Zhong, Jiang Yuanxun and other accompanying officials present subconsciously turned their eyes over.
This time Li Xingchen was on a grand tour to the west. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have only one or two officials with him like before. Not only did Huang Qi take the entire secretariat to accompany him, Yang Su, who joined the army in the Taiwei Mansion, and Tang Zhong, the chief minister, also
Along with the driver, the left and right ministers of the other six ministries each sent one person to accompany the driver, and even Wu Ping, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, followed him personally.
Of course, this is also because the Ministry of Industry wants to take this opportunity to experiment with gunpowder and newly developed firecrackers.
Li Xingchen has also seen this fire blunderbuss, and it is actually very similar to the fire blunderbuss from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties in later generations. Of course, Li Xingchen knew that the Ministry of Industry could come up with such a thing based solely on a few outline sketches he drew. It was already very good.
Yes, of course Li Xingchen cannot have too many expectations for the scientific research, development and industrial development capabilities of this era.
Anyway, it is enough to pose a threat to the enemy.
In fact, the Han Dynasty is also facing such a problem now. The Han Dynasty wants to make up for the lack of military strength through the advantage of equipment. However, things such as thunderbolt vehicles are only improvements on the existing trebuchets of this era. As long as they are given to the enemy
Given enough time, they can also develop these things. Therefore, unless the Han Dynasty comes up with more epoch-making weapons, this advantage will only become smaller and smaller. The enemy will not feel the threat and will naturally have more courage to resist.
.
Therefore, this time Li Xingchen also had to let the firearms ring, to tell Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian that this advantage of the Han Dynasty would continue.
In addition to these civilian officials, although there were not many military officers accompanying them, they were sufficient.
Jiang Yuanxun, the veteran general who was guarding the capital, personally led the emperor's personal army. After all, Li Ping was still too young. If he was left alone to be responsible for the safety of His Majesty and the entire team, the ministers in the court would not be at ease, and only Jiang Yuanxun was the only one.
Only a veteran minister with high moral character and high respect can convince Li Ping.
At the same time, Qi Xin and Jiang Cai of the Navy were in charge of commanding the fleet. Now Qiu Zhi of the Navy was in charge of the Huai River, while Wang Chang was supervising the construction of sea-going ships. The remaining two of the four generals of the Navy were
Here we are, the scene is quite big.
His Majesty's large-scale march north this time will inevitably lead to a big fight. His Majesty's character will never go to the front line and do nothing. Therefore, both the naval and land divisions are counting on getting a share of the pie.
Geng. At least if you follow His Majesty, you will have the opportunity to make achievements!
Therefore, when Yang Su said this, everyone cheered up.
How far will this Guanzhong battle go? Should Yang Jian be destroyed directly, or should Chang'an be surrounded first?
According to the strategy previously determined by the Han Dynasty, of course the latter should be chosen, but the current battle situation is by no means comparable to that of the time. Yang Jian's front collapsed so quickly that the Han army's progress was quite smooth. Counting the beginning of the entire war
After that, except for the Battle of Wuguan, which was delayed for a period of time, the Han army was not defeated. Even the battle of Wuguan was only delayed for a long time, and it was not considered a defeat at all.
So now do you want to fight to determine the level?
"Do you think we can still fight now?" Li Xingchen said seriously.
In fact, he no longer hesitated about this issue.
Of course, Li Xingchen did not lack the courage to fight Yang Jian in the final battle around Chang'an. What he was really worried about was Yu Wenxian. Once the Han army delayed under Chang'an for a long time, it would be equivalent to giving up his side to Yu Wenxian, and Yu Wenxian
Xian can also take this opportunity to recuperate.
Judging from the entire Guanzhong war situation, this is naturally more gain than loss.
"The top priority should be to occupy as much land in Guanzhong as possible." Tang Zhong said hurriedly. As a person from a Bashu family, he obviously has a better understanding of the importance of land.
Chang'an is just an isolated city. As long as it is surrounded, it will be in the pocket of the Han Dynasty. After all, it is not this city that can really give the Han a firm foothold, but the entire Guanzhong. Therefore, how to take the rest of Guanzhong into his hands is more difficult than taking it.
Going to Chang'an is more important.
Li Xingchen suddenly had a headache. The question of love returned to competing with Yu Wenxian for the Guanzhong territory. But would this lead to an all-out war with Yu Wenxian?
