Chapter 0686: Aftershocks Wait
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of "Beast Face Human Liver"~!
The action of Xihe's powerful force, and then captured countless at the same time, but also suppressed the arrogance that the Han Dynasty had just sprouted, and at the same time, it also made the outside world shine, just because this simple and uncomplicated tactics, the time is too delicate, a little earlier or later, may not achieve the expected effect, or need to pay the corresponding price to succeed.
When the matter reached Liu Bang's ears, Liu Bang immediately threw something in anger, and he immediately called the imperial doctor when he was old, and Xiang Yu couldn't die if he didn't get rid of him. When the anger passed, Liu Bang issued an order to severely criticize the military generals who committed the crime, but he did not turn his mind to Zhang Yuanfang, compared to Xiang Yu, a lifelong enemy and a big trouble, Zhang Yuan is nothing.
The generals of the Han army, who had lost their faces, were naturally unwilling, Zhang Yuan ate and drank, and took it, and lived happily. They can't start an all-out war, and they don't dare, and the thunderous blow of Xihe's powerful power completely wiped out their newly raised confidence.
But the generals of the Han army also knew the Dao, and Zhang Yuan was not ready for a full-scale war, and it was precisely because of this that the generals of the Han army began to send a small number of troops to the state city occupied by the Xihe force, and this time they really didn't look at the treasures, but on recovering face.
It seems that they also know the importance of these treasures to the strength of the West River, and if they want to use those treasures, they must be prepared to fight a full-scale war, and they are not ready, so they can only reluctantly give up the piece of fat that is enough for them to eat.
In the face of the small movements of the Han army, the aftershocks caused by the thunderous blow, Zhang Yuan did not take it to heart, he had expected such a thing, and in order to maintain combat strength and adapt to winter operations, the Xihe Army at the junction with the Han army was training everywhere all day long. In this case, there is no difference between doing things to suppress bandits during training.
"It's February, winter is almost over, it's time to ......!" Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over the huge grassland, came to the place where the Yuan Dynasty was on the other side of the grassland, fought with the Han Dynasty, and occupied eight states, in Zhang Yuan's opinion, it was just to gain a firm foothold, and he really wanted to develop. It also needs to rely on the Yuan Dynasty.
Since ancient times, the strategy of 'distant friendship and close attack' has been circulated, but it is not suitable for today's Zhang Yuan, the Han Dynasty is too big, he has paid so much, and even exposed Xiang Yu. Before the Han Dynasty reacted, it took advantage of the right time, place and people to occupy eight states. One of the flukes. Bibi is visible.
And this winter is almost over, if Zhang Yuan wants to set his sights on the Han Dynasty, then it will really be a dragon and tiger fight, and the loss may be greater than the development, and the Yuan Dynasty is coveted in the rear, and it can be picked up at any time when both sides are defeated. When the time comes, it will really be a full calculation and a loss.
"It's just that this matter has to be hidden, because of the incident in Xihe City, the Yuan Dynasty, which suffered heavy losses, is in a wait-and-see state. Mobilizing troops to other Tang Dynasty and Qin Dynasty battlefields is a good opportunity, and the Yuan Dynasty can't detect ......! ”
If you want to attack the Yuan Dynasty to plunder resources, in order to increase your own heritage, Zhang Yuan has to consider how to attack, the current situation is not so chaotic and a mystery, the Qin Dynasty has begun to mobilize more troops to the battlefield of the Yuan Dynasty, obviously, Zhang Yuan's appearance and envoy moved the Qin Dynasty.
Although in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Yuan is nothing more than an ant-like existence, but in the face of the tacit blockade of the major dynasties, even the Qin Dynasty, which is extremely powerful enough to dominate the world, feels extremely awkward.
However, the friendliness shown by the Qin Dynasty did greatly benefit the strength of the Xihe Dynasty, and the transfer of the Qin Dynasty not only put pressure on the Yuan Dynasty, but also made other dynasties feel the pressure, the most obvious being that the battlefields of the Tang and Yuan dynasties had been truce.
Although the Tang Dynasty was eager to annex the Yuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not want to directly face the Qin Dynasty, as long as the Yuan Dynasty existed, the Qin Dynasty's preferred target of attack would not be itself, which was what any dynasty wanted to see.
After discussing with others, the busy Xihe force has one more task, the Xihe Army, which was originally stationed on the front line for nearly two months, began to change its guard in an orderly manner, and after a winter of training, the recruits have initially formed combat effectiveness, and after mixing with the veterans who were replaced before, they were sent to the front line to entangle with the Han army.
Liu Bang also didn't want to waste his troops here in Zhang Yuan, and as the winter was about to pass, he had already begun to prepare for the battle with Xiang Yu, so he threw another general and didn't pay attention.
And the Han army at the junction of the Xihe force suddenly discovered that in fact, this kind of battle was not bad, so as to drag down the Xihe force, there was no need to worry about him suddenly giving himself a ruthless attack that day, and at the same time, the repeated small-scale battles also seemed to be explained by Liu Bang.
Of course, if possible, they naturally want to capture Xihe City, ruthlessly destroy this neighbor who makes them live like a year, and at the same time allocate a lot of assets. However, they don't have troops, Liu Bang didn't send troops at all, in order to prevent the Xihe situation Although they tried to expand their troops, most of them were ordinary people who had just put down their hoes, and in order to maintain such an army, they had to rely on the support of the surrounding rich and powerful merchants.
For those rich and powerful businessmen, the purpose of delaying your money, silver, grain and grass is to let you protect us, not to attack any Xihe force, the thunderous counterattack of the Xihe force before really made them feel uneasy, and they strongly opposed some radicals, and even threatened to cut off food, they are really afraid of fighting, as long as Xihe is not strong, they are 200% unwilling to provoke the other party's tiger whiskers.
There is no war, there is no conflict, and the forces that were originally closely concerned about the movements of the Xihe forces have gradually withdrawn their attention, although there are still some people who want to know more about the forces of the Xihe River, but the high-level of the Xihe River is extremely secretive, and those who can enter the high-level are all old courtiers.
As the days passed, Yuanzhou became more and more prosperous, after the opening of the Liuzhou Sea Trade, there were strangers pouring into the Xihe River every day, and the aborigines who also migrated to Yuanzhou also brought great prosperity and rapid development to Yuanzhou, and the confrontation between the Xihe and the Han Dynasty, except for the skirmish, seemed to have maintained everything like this, until the new general appeared.
