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

This time, Wang Hou gathered the biggest force since he started the army, but this one was also the most difficult battle in his life!

The biggest enemy is not Ma Chao or Han Sui, but distance! Yongzhou is a terrain east-west, extraordinarily narrow and long state, almost collapsed in later generations of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, the farthest into Qinghai part, this is only the distance of Yongzhou, until the northern part of Gansu in later generations, now it is also the most border of Liangzhou Jiuquan, Dunhuang, there are more than 2,600 miles, than Liucheng to the city of naturalization farther away.

And Dunhuang is not only the end, there is also a Qinghai Huangzhong Qiang settlement area to the south, that is, to Dunhuang, Wang Hou may run at both ends, after recovering the west gate of the Han Empire, he has to rush to the Qinghai Plateau to fight a wave.

Wang Hou had never fought such a distance of conquest before, although it was far away to fight Liaodong, but he first planted a nail in Lianjiao City, and he still waited for people to come to the door, annihilated the opponent's main force and then launched an attack, and the distance was only a few hundred miles.

The battle of Wujun does have this distance, but the problem is that it is not for the purpose of conquest of the battle order, simply grab a vote and run, the battle of Guandu was also an internal battle, and the expedition to Xuzhou is the most level of a war, and the test of Wang Hou's logistics ability is only a few hundred miles of supply lines.

This time, it is a 2,600-mile supply line that is particularly firmly believed, especially this road is still sparsely populated, rugged terrain and wild land, later Wang Hou once passed through Gansu for a distance, and the dusty rugged road left a very deep impression on him, that is still full of people's descendants! Now that the population is about to be wiped out, I don't know what it looks like!

But! No matter how difficult it is, I have to fight it, and the hot potato I took over, my paws are hot and blistered, and I have to eat it while crying!

Fortunately, this war is like the Chibi War fought by Cao Cao, the ending may not be won, but the beginning is exceptionally smooth!

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

The section of the naturalization city can mobilize the livestock of the Xianbei people to consign military food to the ancient Yulin Pass, the ancient water transport is really particularly important for the march, after entering the Yulin Pass, the row is smooth, and the Luoshui all the way south to Pucheng, here, the Zhengguo Canal that has just been dug has played a role again, the Qiang people have formed a labor group and the Goguryeo Zhuangding who have been requisitioned, and the Han people of Datong Jiang have a little spark here, and tens of thousands of people are eating military food while transporting military food.

Dozens of hundreds of bags of military rations were piled up on the wooden rafts, and on the shore, the cattle captured from the Qiang people were the main force, and the people also followed the ropes, pulling the heavy wooden rafts up the river in a loud roar, dragging the military rations from the turbid Luoshui all the way to the clear Weishui, and once again going upstream, and finally arriving at the birthplace of Jingshui, Guyuan! Liupan Mountain!

Up to now, 1 million stone of military rations, no battle has been fought, there are 700,000 stone left, and the time has also been from the end of April to July, and in another two months, the wheat in Guanzhong can be ripe again.

However, in the process of this march, the battle did not need to be fought, and the results were there, the army went out of Jingzhao County, passing by Xinping County to guard Li Tong, and the county lieutenant Zhao Huan personally greeted the Daxingtai army in Xinping County, and did not wait for Xinping County, located in the south of Xinping County, Fufeng County guarded Wei He, and the county lieutenant Guo Gao also led the troops to surrender in person.

After coming to Guanzhong, Wang Hou did not expand to the west except for recruiting the tenants of the troops under the command of the defeated warlords from other counties to come to Gyeonggi, but this time it was good, the first battle was not fought, and when the army marched to Jingyang, the entire eight counties of Yongzhou, without a single arrow, were basically taken into the palm of Wang Hou's hands, and the counties sent troops to correspond to his army, so that the army of Liaodong and the west swelled to 150,000.

It's just that this pacification of Yongzhou is still rough, and the generals of the counties and counties are basically after Dong Zhuo's chaos, who has the ability to go up, and most of the overlords who give themselves official titles, but Wang Hou does not investigate deeply, in the end, you are qualified or not, as long as you are here to surrender him, they will all be promulgated.

So the most depressed in the crowd became Sima Yi who was forcibly recruited by Wang Hou to march into the army, he is the assassin of Yongzhou, it stands to reason that the county guard and county orders in Yongzhou should be managed by him, but on the one hand, the official is crushed to death, on the other hand, the overlord of these places is called a mother with milk, Wang Hou has food and soldiers in his hands, he has a lot of support from the Guandong gate lords behind him, and now he doesn't even have a hundred or so pro-soldiers, and no one is talking to him.

And! Although Wang Hou was born in the Jinyang Wang family, in recent years, he has either been hanging around in Qingzhou or playing soy sauce in Liaodong, and he can be vaguely counted as a gate valve in Liaodong.

Sima Yi wants to make a fortune in the western battlefield of the empire as he did in history, and it seems that he has a long way to go.

However, after the army stopped arriving in Jingyang, Wang Hou's good days also came to an end, because Jingshui had come to an end here, and then went upstream, a generation of Liupan Mountain in Gansu, which was farther away from the main battlefield, and even now, his army was located in the north of the upcoming battlefield.

Ma Chao is really not a vegetarian, before the conquest of Guanzhong last year, he said that Tianshui, Nan'an, Longxi and several other large counties that still belonged to Liangzhou at this time were all taken, and even attacked and killed Cao Cao's assassin Shi Weikang in Liangzhou, and captured Yicheng, the capital of Liangzhou at that time.

The road in Longshang is not easy to walk! Especially when Jingyang goes south, there is no river to use to transport military rations!

But it's okay! One of the great advantages of Wang Hou's army is that there are enough cavalry!

"Ladies and gentlemen, your goal is to rob! It's burning! Just eat! Strive to burn every wheat field of the thieves! Eat up every pasture they have! ”

Early in the morning, a cowhide map of Guan Long was placed on the battle table, Wang Hou pointed his finger on it murderously, and the spittle Xingzi even flew to He Laihun's face opposite, pointing to the vast Tianshui Anyang County under the map, and drinking murderously.

"The Art of War" has clouds, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; Don't stick one stone, when I twenty stones! In July and August, it was the moment when Longshang wheat was about to ripen, and before he set off, the battle strategy he formulated was to get along with Ma Chao, Han Sui and the Qiang people's stomachs, and first make your food and eat with the scourge, and see how you still play with Lao Tzu!

This order was simply too popular with these famous robbers on the grassland, more than forty Xianbei generals, more than a dozen Hun generals, and even a few Wuhuan leaders who came to be the people's husbands were all excitedly clenched their fists.

"The last general obeys!"

In the crowd, there was also a female voice, which was exceptionally crisp and pleasant.
