Chapter 983: Striking the West (1)

The generals who stayed in the capital were recruited into the Qianqing Palace by Cao Cao after a while, and half an hour later, this group of fierce generals left the Qianqing Palace with an excited face.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, the ice and snow in the north have frozen, and everything has revived.

The grain and baggage of the Central Plains were not continuously transported to Bingzhou, and because concealment measures had been taken in advance, the fine work of the Jin State did not notice anything wrong.

The first and second main armies were ready to be launched, which could not be concealed, and at the same time, the army and logistical baggage of the Jin people were rapidly assembled in Nissa and northern Kangju to prepare for the upcoming war, and in their eyes there was only one enemy, and that was the Eastern Great Wei Empire.

Just when the Great Wei Empire and the Jin Empire were in tension, Shukesa's envoy finally came to the Green Ridge Fortress.

However, the world has changed, and it is impossible for Zhao Yun to give any support to the other party, of course, Zhao Yun still made a promise to the other party on the surface, although this is incompatible with Zhao Yun's character, but for the sake of the empire, Zhao Yun still did it

On February 7, Cao Cao personally commanded the first and second armies and the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, accompanied by Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chang'an left behind the cabinet ministers no one to accompany them, the team marched west, almost everyone thought that the destination of the army was the fortress of Green Ridge in the west.

Ten days later, Cao Cao's army of 200,000 arrived in Xiliang, also known as Wuwei, which is now the seat of Liangzhou's governorship.

The number of the main battle corps was originally only 50,000, but with the increase in the national strength of Wei, especially the substantial increase in wealth and population, the main battle corps has also been expanded, and it has increased to 100,000 people, and the main battle corps of Wei at this time has a total of one million people!

And the population under the rule of the Great Wei today, of which the population of the Han people has reached more than 890 million people after 20 years of recuperation and recuperation, under the control of food and policy, and as for the other Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fusang, Goguryeo, Western Regions and other countries have more than 10 million, if combined, the population under Cao Cao's rule has exceeded 100 million, which is nothing in later generations, but it is very rare today!

Cao Cao's army of 200,000 set up camp a few miles northwest of Xiliang, and the army continued on its way early the next morning, but the westward army seemed to have a much smaller number of people.

A few days later, the general of the Jin State obtained information that the Wei army had entered the Western Regions.

He felt that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately ordered the 300,000 troops who had just completed the assembly in the north of Kangju to launch a fierce attack on Kangju, and in just three days, he took down three cities in the north of Kangju, in fact, these cities were all abandoned by the Wei army and the Kangju army on their own initiative.

The 300,000 Jin army and ten days later arrived at a mountain range more than 20 miles northwest of the capital of Kangju, the local people called Minos, which means low mountain range, as the name suggests, although it is called a mountain range but the mountain is low and gentle, it is the most important strategic barrier at the northwest end of Kangju, so Kangju built a defensive fortress here many years ago, and now 80,000 Kangju army and 50,000 soldiers of the sixth army of the Wei army are stationed here, because the situation here has little advantage for the defenders, Therefore, defending this place is no easy task.

As soon as the 300,000 Jin army arrived at the Minoan fortress, they launched a fierce attack, and the defenders felt heavy pressure from the beginning.

At the same time, the 300,000 main force of the Jin State plus 300,000 servant troops for a total of 600,000 troops under the personal leadership of the general Huang Chuchu set out from Nisa and moved in the direction of the fortress of Green Ridge.

Half a month later, the 600,000-strong army arrived outside the Da Green Ridge Mountain Range, but the Jin army did not immediately attack.

The next day, 300,000 people in the Jin army turned north and rushed straight towards the Crow Mountains in the south of Kangju, fortunately, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun both expected that the Jin people might not directly collide with the Green Ridge Fortress, so the other 50,000 troops of the Sixth Army and the Western Regions Army were transferred to the Crow Mountain defense line.

According to the current deployment of the Jin people, it is obvious that they want to suppress the Wei army in the direction of Green Ridge with 300,000 horses, and at the same time use 600,000 Pang

Large forces launched simultaneous attacks on Kangju's northern and southern fronts, in the hope of tearing a gap at the northern end of the Wei army's entire defensive system.

Ten days later, the 300,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom entered the defense line of Raven Mountain, and the battle began.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle of the Minoan Fortress was in full swing.

The battle in both places was very fierce, the Wei army was very difficult to resist, and the Jin people, with the support of catapults, the offensive became more and more fierce, so the Wei army was afraid that it would not be able to resist for too long, there was a front-line fortress on the northwest side of the Minoan fortress, which changed hands several times after the start of the battle and has now almost become a rubble and ruins.

Just when the war in the Western Regions was in full swing, the Jin State Fortress, which was thousands of miles away from the battlefield in the Western Regions, was calm.

"Are the scouts back?" General Jin Jun asked, his tone a little hurried.

Hu Liyan on the side replied: "You haven't come back yet, general, you seem to be very anxious?" ”

Totobuhua frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the transfer of the Wei army during this time!" ”

Hu Liyan said with a blank face: "The last general doesn't see anything wrong!" ”

Tuo Buhua walked outside the lobby with his hands behind his back, frowning at the clouds surging in the south.

"Has the snow melted?" Totobuhua asked suddenly.

Hu Liyan nodded and said, "It's basically melted!" It's already March! ”

Tokhoff Buhua suddenly felt a move in his heart and ordered urgently: "Order all the troops outside the fortress to immediately scatter into the fortress!" ”

Seeing that Hu Liyan had a blank look on his face, he aggravated his tone and said, "Go quickly!" ”

"Yes!" He immediately ran out of the lobby.

In the evening of the same day, the nearest military brigades had entered the Wolf Mountain Fortress of the Jin State one after another, but the generals of the various departments were very puzzled by this order to get rid of the flowers, they did not think that the Wei army still had the strength to use here, because according to the report of the spies, almost all the main forces of the Wei army went to the Western Regions, and there was only a basic defense army on this side of the country.

"Have all the armies been scattered into the fortress?" Tokhtarbuhua asked, standing on the city wall.

"The four armies stationed nearby have already been scattered, and the 10,000 cavalry stationed in the bitter vegetable forest are on their way, and they will arrive tonight!" ”

Tokhtabuhua nodded, "Is the scout back?" ”

"He just came back, and they didn't see anything wrong!"

Tooff frowned, "Is it really me who is too worried?!" Go and call the scout, and I'm going to ask him personally! ”

"Yes!"

The night gradually thickened, in the middle of the night, the clouds dispersed, a clean and immaculate round of crescent moon appeared on the canopy, and a cavalry team arrived outside the east gate of the Wolf Mountain Fortress of the Jin Kingdom, with about more than 10,000 people.
