After the infantry army followed, Chu Huan quickly marched eastward, stationed in the city of the fallen horse, and took the easternmost city in Hexi, so that the entire Hexi has been under the control of the Northwest Army at least on the bright side.

In the battle of Huangling, Chu Huan and Pei Ji carefully planned and prepared under the condition of knowing themselves and their opponents, and achieved a very fruitful victory.

Needless to say, the tactical victory, but for Chu Huan, the most important significance of the Battle of Huangling is still above the strategy.

The Northwest Army's attack on the city, since entering the customs, has been like a tiger on the loose, invincible, and the two key battles in Hexi can be said to have played an immeasurable role in Chu Huan's overall strategy.

The battle of Wupingfu, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, in the case of serious losses of the barbarians and the Qin army, took advantage of the situation to attack, whether it was the choice of timing or the use of tactics, it was just right, thus defeating tens of thousands of barbarian troops, and giving an almost fatal blow to the tribal forces of the Mobei grassland, at least within five to ten years, Mobei no longer had the ability to pose a threat to the Central Plains or even Hexi, so that Chu Huan did not need to spend too much energy to deal with the threat from the north.

The battle of Wuping Mansion in Hexi not only defeated the barbarian army, but also actually caused the collapse of the Qin army on the front line of Yanshan, it can be said that Chu Huan only used the battle of Wuping Mansion to achieve immeasurable strategic interests, and the two major groups of the barbarian army and the Qin army were also the strength of the Northwest Army after this battle.

After that, in the face of the Liaodong Group, Chu Huan knew the strength of the Liaodong Group, and even calculated in his heart that even if he could finally defeat the Liaodong Group led by Chiliandian, it would take at least three or five years, but God seemed to be intent on making Chu Huan's road to hegemony smoother.

The collapse of the Liaodong Cavalry Corps is equivalent to Liaodong's military strength quickly falling into a trough, although Liaodong is still not in his hands, but Chu Huan knows very well in his heart that with Liaodong's current strength, using various means, it will be greatly reduced compared to the time originally envisaged to attack Liaodong in three or five years, and it is even possible to collect Liaodong within a year.

Being able to solve Liaodong as soon as possible is of course very powerful for Chu Huan, first, it can reduce the loss of the Northwest Army, and second, it can integrate the forces of the north as soon as possible, turn the gun, and lead the troops south.

Although Jinling Dao Xu Chang and Tianmen Dao were still in a desperate battle, and Tianmen Dao was also frustrated in Jinling for a time, Chu Huan knew very well in his heart that no matter which of these two forces won the final victory, they would quickly become stronger, and they would also become their main opponents in the southern region.

Although the war lasted too long, it would cause extremely serious damage to production, and it would also cause countless innocent people to be displaced and separated, but Chu Huan also knew that the longer the war between Tianmen Dao and Xu Chang dragged on, the more beneficial it would be to the Northwest Army.

Xu Chang has a huge Jinling warehouse as a support, and if Tianmen Dao wants to quickly solve Xu Chang's occupation of Jinling within a year and a half, the difficulty is too great, and Xu Chang wants to exterminate Tianmen Dao in a short period of time, and he can only eat people and talk about dreams, but according to Chu Huan's assessment, even if this is the case, the two forces in the south should be able to achieve a result in two years at most.

If Liaodong is dragged down for a long time, the southern war will be resolved first, and they will be given time to recover their vitality and reorganize their armaments, which will naturally be very unfavorable to the Northwest Army, but if the Northwest Army can take the lead in ending the northern war before the southern war, then there will be a certain amount of time to repair its vitality and have sufficient time to prepare for the southward battle.

And the Battle of Huangling actually made it possible to benefit the strategic situation of the Northwest Army.

Pei Ji was originally in Wuping Mansion City to prepare to command the retreat, but Luo Duo sent the news about Liaodong to Chu Huan in time, and Chu Huan knew that a golden opportunity had arrived, and immediately contacted Pei Ji and began to prepare for the Battle of Huangling.

The Battle of Huangling actually consumed a lot of energy and effort from Chu Huan and Pei Ji.

The Liaodong Army is a strong enemy, naturally there can be no slightest mistake, all aspects must be thoughtful, whether it is the rear of the sneak attack on the grain and grass, the main battlefield tactics and lure the enemy army to divide the troops or even lure the enemy deep, in the rear ambush, every step is carefully planned, but also the analysis of the enemy commander's temperament, anticipating the enemy first.

In fact, in terms of tactical layout, there are still many changes, and even some changes are likely to affect the situation on the battlefield, for example, Qi Sheng did not lead his troops to pursue deeply, and after he could not find the enemy's traces, he first protected Xu Chang's troops on the mountain and withdrew safely from the mountain, and then attacked the Northwest Army on the main battlefield from the flank, then this battle is likely to be another result.

Fortunately, Kou Ying is not a red refining electricity, and Qi Sheng can't be compared with Gu Liangchen, Wei Tianqing and others under Chu Huan.

The Liaodong Army retreated to the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and the Northwest Army did not continue to attack Yanshan, Chu Huan knew very well in his heart that the pursuit of the Liaodong Army to the foot of Yanshan Mountain had been done to the extreme.

After all, the Liaodong Army is not a rabble, but a group of warriors with very strong combat effectiveness, and the great rout of the Liaodong Army on the battlefield is of course because of the tactical crushing of the Northwest Army, but the Liaodong Army is centrifugal and suspicious of each other, which is also one of the important reasons.

Now the Liaodong Army has no way to retreat, once the Northwest Army is wiped out, the Liaodong Army will naturally fight to the death for its own life, so that even if the Liaodong Army under Yanshan can be completely annihilated, the Northwest Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so Chu Huan passed the order early, and the Northwest Army chased to a distance of twenty miles from Yanshan, and then stopped moving.

After the Northwest Army took Wuping Mansion City itself, Xishan had already begun to send grain and grass to Hexi, and the corridor from Xishan to Hexi had been opened up by the Northwest Army, and all along the way were already under the control of the Northwest Army, and grain and grass were also continuously supplied to Hexi.

It was still early, and Chu Huan and Pei Ji were in front of a map, discussing the next strategy of the Northwest Army.

Before the Liaodong Army controlled Hexi, Hujin Meilong had also surrendered to Chu Huan, and Chu Huan now controlled the Northwest Three Roads, Xishan Road, and Hexi Road in his hands, in addition, Hujin Road had been surrendered, and Yuan Chongshang of Anyi Road had already surrendered to Chu Huan, and there were at least five roads in actual control, and then it was natural to completely digest Hujin Road and Anyi Road into the system of the Northwest Army.

Although the Tianmen Dao swept through the southern provinces, and the territory was not under the Northwest Army, the area occupied by the Tianmen Dao was chaotic, the various factions were strife, and the production was also devastating, and its strength was actually not enough to compare with Chu Huan.

Looking at the world, after controlling Hexi, Chu Huan's strength of all parties is already second to none, the so-called current affairs create heroes, Chu Huan can develop and grow rapidly, it is really because the Qin State is divided, and the forces of all parties are life and death, and Chu Huan controlled the three northwestern provinces early and has a relatively strong foundation, so after leaving the customs, it can be described as invincible.

"Raiding Liaodong, there are only these two ways to choose." Pei Ji pointed to the map, "One is to fight from Yanshan, and the other is to go south to attack Hebei first, and after taking Hebei, go east to control Fuhai, and then you can drive straight into Liaodong directly." The two lines in the north and south, in comparison, although the Yanshan line trekking through the mountains is very difficult, but once it is passed, its logistics distance will be greatly reduced, even in the mountains, it is far faster than the southern line. However, after Liaodong suffered this setback, it was no longer able to expand, they were bound to seek self-protection with all their might, and Yanshan would also be their reliance, and it must be firmly controlled in their hands. ”

Chu Huan looked at the map, "If you go from the southern line, you must first get rid of the Qingtian King of Hebei, and only by controlling Hebei can you open up the passage into Liaodong through Fuhai." Qingtian King had fought with the Liaodong Army in Fuhai for more than half a year, and almost all of Qingtian King's forces in Fuhai were beaten back to Hebei, and Qingtian King's strength should have been hit hard. As far as I know, after the Liaodong Army withdrew from Fuhai to Liaodong, there were many bandits in Fuhai Road, and the powerful bandits from all walks of life who had been suppressed by the Liaodong Army began to spring up again! ”

"Second brother is going to attack the Blue Heaven King first?" Pei Ji asked.

Chu Huan said: "After the Liaodong people withdrew their troops from Fuhai, the Hebei army did not continue to enter Fuhai, before the barbarian army attacked Hexi, Hujin recruited troops to prevent the Hebei army from attacking Hujin, but as far as I know, although the men and horses of the Qingtian King deployed some soldiers and horses at the junction of Hebei and Hujin, they did not really attack Hujin, big brother, whether it is Hujin or Fuhai, the Qingtian King has an opportunity, but he did not choose to send troops, what do you think is the reason for this?" ”

Pei Ji touched his beard, groaned slightly, and then said: "At the earliest, Han Santong and Qingtian King fought against Hebei, Han Santong finally retreated to Fuhai, according to this, Qingtian King's ability to command soldiers and horses can only be above Han Santong, such a person, since he has the heart to compete for the world, he will not miss any opportunity to expand, and in his vision, of course, he will not fail to see the opportunity to appear, second brother, you are right, Qingtian King did not take the opportunity to send troops, but there is a big problem." ”

"There are tens of thousands of people in Hebei, whether it is Fuhai or Hujin, with the power of the Qingtian King, it will not be impossible to do it." Chu Huan frowned slightly: "But he didn't do it, I think it could only be that something stopped them from sending troops." ”

"The Qin State was defeated, Tianmen Dao and Xu Chang were stumbling in Jinling, and in addition, there is no other force in the south that can compete with the Qingtian King." Pei Ji said: "And we haven't heard of any forces holding back the Qingtian King, so if it's really being dragged down by something, it can only be that there is a problem within Hebei." ”

"Mei Niang used to be under the command of the Qingtian King, and when the Qingtian King took Mei Niang to the Great Desert to rescue the Black Jiaohou, I also mentioned this matter to you, eldest brother." Chu Huan said softly: "According to Mei Niang, after King Qingtian returned to Hebei from the Great Desert, his temperament began to change, and he didn't trust the original Green Lion White Elephant or even Mei Niang very much, but instead promoted many newcomers to compete with the Green Lion White Elephant, is it possible that these people are internal friction!" ”

"Of course it's a possibility." Pei Ji said: "But according to my analysis of the Qingtian King, this person has outstanding strategies and extremely high skills, even if he promotes a newcomer, it can only be used to balance the power within Hebei, such a person should be firmly in control of the overall situation, and will never miss the opportunity to expand because of the internal power struggle, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot himself in the foot?" ”

Chu Huan felt that what Pei Ji said made a lot of sense, thought for a while, and then said: "If this is the case, internal strife cannot affect Hebei's external expansion, then there is only one possibility!" Gazing at Pei Ji: "The Qingtian King himself is probably in trouble. ”
