Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

After absorbing the resources of Chaoge, Jia Xu became more interested in digging graves.

However, Jia Xu did not rush to go south to join Cheng Yu and others to attack the Heluo area, but began to organize a dragnet investigation of the northern occupied areas. This time, it was not only aimed at the powerful families, but also at the war agents.

Jia Xu's goal was not to leave a city of war agents.

Jia Xu knew very well that the resistance spirit of the natives was not strong. After the powerful families were dealt with, the people could just have enough food, neither hungry nor full. When it was not busy, they would be properly busy, and there would be no strong rebellion.

But war agents were different.

War agents would seize every opportunity to make trouble.

For war agents who sell war, even if it was not for strategic purposes, but just a small fight, they could get war points. What's more, making trouble for other war agents was their original purpose.

Jia Xu didn't want to wait until the main force of the army went west in the future, but a mess of troubles would emerge in his old nest again.

Therefore, all war agents who do not surrender or sign a strict agreement must be cleared out!

The lowest standard is that even if people escape, their cities must be occupied and digested. Because the war agents who have lost their bases have basically lost the ability to stir up trouble in the rear.

There is another important reason why Jia Xu is not in a hurry to attack, that is, he wants to wait for all the resistance forces to concentrate in Heluo, so that he can catch them all in one fell swoop.

Dayu's current actions are actually a bit like shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger, deliberately letting other war agents and resistance forces emerge.

With this period of time, Dayu can also calmly improve the strength of the core forces and train more indigenous forces by the way.

Most of the areas occupied by Dayu now are areas where the people are tough and strong.

Whether they are cannon fodder or absorbed as the main force, these strong soldiers are a good choice.

Jia Xu's strategy is very successful.

Dayu is a matter of war agent forces, but it cannot be hidden from other war agents. Under the high pressure of Dayu, a large number of war agents who realized that they were a mantis trying to stop a chariot could only abandon the city with tears, disguised as a loyal army, and gathered in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

To this day, they can only defeat Dayu first and then think of other ways.

The emergence of a large number of volunteers also made the military strength of the Sui Dynasty no longer so stretched, thus stabilizing the core ruling area.

In the armies of Qu Tutong and Pei Renji, there are actually a large number of war agent volunteers.

These war agent volunteers are indeed desperate.

But desperately may not necessarily bring victory.

Qu Tutong ordered the army to march into Huoyi to support Song Laosheng, the defender of Huoyi (southwest of Huozhou City, Shanxi).

However, Song Laosheng was brave but not wise. Before Fa Zheng's main force took action, Song Laosheng had been defeated by Liu Wuzhou, Yuchi Jingde, Song Jingang and others who were eager to show off.

The Dayu army took advantage of the situation to capture Huoyi.

Qu Tutong's idea of ​​relying on Huoyi for a decisive battle fell through.

Qu Tutong's troops could only reorganize their army in Linfen and prepare for a decisive battle with Fa Zheng's troops.

Before the decisive battle officially began, a group of cavalrymen in Qu Tutong's army fled in an orderly manner.

Qu Tutong was stunned.

Other war agents were also stunned.

They didn't know what happened.

But Pan Feng, who fled, naturally couldn't explain to them.

"Dirty things, dirty things, I handed Qu Tutong over to you, so don't chase me anymore!"

Pan Feng muttered as he ran.

Pan Feng encountered Dayu twice in the Three Kingdoms, Song, Liao, Jin and Xia worlds, and was already scared.

If it weren't for the fact that his territory was a little close to Taiyuan and it was not easy to escape independently, he would not pretend to surrender to Qu Tutong. Now that Qu Tutong was behind him, he could escape with confidence.

He, Pan, would never fight with dirty things!

Pan has made up his mind that this time he will cross the Western Regions and fight to India.

In his impression, India is a group of soft persimmons.

In history, Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty almost destroyed it alone.

Pan thinks that the chance of winning this time is quite high.

Some people fled before the battle, and Qu Tutong could only record this account and said calmly to his left and right: "This unit is under my order to show the enemy weakness and attack the enemy from behind. Don't panic, follow my orders!"

"Yes!"

Whether others believe it or not, they can only fight hard at this time.

However, what they didn't expect was that Fa Zheng didn't play by the rules at all.

At the beginning, the native army of Dayu, the Korean army, and the Yingzhou army were evenly matched with Qu Tutong's troops. When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Fa Zheng's pirated death shadow warriors suddenly rushed out and went straight to Qu Tutong's flag.

The appearance of a large number of ghosts once again greatly reduced the morale of the Sui army. More importantly, the main general was surrounded, which inevitably made the Sui army waver.

The attack of the ghosts was not very strong, but they could launch attacks that ignored armor defense and directly damaged the soul. At the same time, they also had a certain chance of physical damage immunity.

Their appearance caused great trouble to the Qu Tutong Army. After all, even if the strength of these ghosts was uneven, the number was there. Fa Zheng was not like Jia Xu who would empty the inventory for sacrifice at any time, so that the ghosts under his command were really in the hundreds of millions, covering the mountains and plains and directly blocking the sight of the Sui army.

Although Qu Tutong unleashed the power of the military formation, many war agents and their generals also launched their abilities, causing great trouble to the ghost and the Dayu army, but Fa Zheng's trump card was not the ghost.

The Dayu elite under Fa Zheng seized the opportunity and attacked decisively. The heavy cavalry aimed at the war agent's troops with an unstoppable attitude and launched a thunderous and violent attack.

War agents have always been self-sufficient. After the attack, a large number of war agents chose to retreat in order to preserve their strength.

The Sui army was suddenly more chaotic.

The Dayu army easily defeated the war agent's troops.

At this time, what could Qu Tutong say?

He could only choose to retreat.

If he didn't retreat, the army would be surrounded.

This retreat was out of control.

(Route map of Fa Zheng's troops)

Fa Zheng's troops chased after them from Linfen to Jiang (Jiang County, Yuncheng), and then to Longmen Mountain.

This is the gateway to Luoyang.

However, Fa Zheng's pursuit can only stop here.

Because Dayu's navy did not come here, but the Sui army, especially those war agents who escaped first, prepared the navy, and the remnants of Qu Tutong were able to be helped across the river. Fa Zheng could only collect ships while attacking other territories in Bingzhou.

The Bingzhou land north and east of the river soon fell into Dayu's hands.

There is more good news waiting for Dayu.

After Yue Fei and other troops won a great victory, the troops sent to report the victory also arrived. They cooperated with Fa Zheng's detachment to attack from both inside and outside, and recaptured all the territories north of Yanmen.

So far, in the north, Dayu's actual control/control area has reached the North Sea. Further north is the area of ​​some monsters, but due to the climate and environment, it is not very suitable for attack.

Huo Qubing suggested that they should either develop armor with warming and temperature regulating functions, or let the ninjas of the Snow Clan have more children, and form a ninja army of the Snow Clan, and then march north.

The great enemy of climate is actually more terrifying in this world where gods and demons exist.

Yue Fei, Huo Qubing and others also suggested that they should first control the Dongtu people, form an indigenous grassland army, and establish a certain ruling foundation, and then march west after logistics and other preparations are more sufficient next year.

These are all mature words of statecraft, and they are also helpless.

The Dayu army relies heavily on logistics. The regeneration core requires a special nutrient solution, which needs to be transported from Dayu's cities. However, due to the area of ​​this world and other reasons, Dayu's ten cities are mainly concentrated in the east, and the transportation distance is a bit remote.

In addition to the regeneration core, the armor also needs special maintenance, and the repair after damage is not just to find a blacksmith to repair it casually.

Then there is a lot of pressure in terms of food and grass.

Although Dayu has the spiritualism and space ninjutsu from the previous world, due to the suppression of the world level and the distance, it may be okay to transmit military information, but it cannot do so on a large scale.

In fact, it is precisely because of the suppression of space that the immortals and gods in the heavens cannot go up and down at will, and the Buddhas in the Western Paradise have to travel a long distance to come here.

The above reasons have led to Dayu only being able to complete the blitzkrieg against the Eastern Tujue first, but unable to expand the results of the war.

Next, Dayu must establish a stable logistics base on the grassland to facilitate the continuation of the westward expedition.

Before that, Dayu's main energy can be focused on the foreign tribes such as Mohe, and let the vassal armies of Goryeo and Japan carry out a sweeping attack on the mountains of these foreign tribes.

In short, in the last few months of this year, Dayu does not plan to launch a large-scale offensive in the north, and its main energy is still used for digestion.

However, the fact that the Dayu army north of the Yellow River does not launch an attack does not mean that the Dayu army south of the Yellow River has no action.

Cheng Yu was waiting for the result of the battle between Zhai Rang, Li Mi and Pei Renji.

The result of this battle was that Zhai Rang and Li Mi were defeated.

This was actually reasonable.

First of all, Zhai Rang and Li Mi were hastily pushed out by some war agents. Not only did they look like they were united, but they were actually alienated. Their strength was not particularly strong. Although they had 100,000 troops, only a few of them reached the third and fourth levels of mythology.

On the other hand, Pei Renji not only had a large number of elite soldiers from Dongdu, but also had the support of a large number of war agents.

In this case, the various conspiracies and tricks of both sides did not have much effect, and the war eventually became a hard power decisive battle between the two sides.

The war agent corps of both sides can be said to be equal, or it can be said that Pei Renji's side had some advantages; for the other forces of both sides, Pei Renji had 50,000 elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, while the non-war agent soldiers of Zhai Rang and Li Mi added up to only more than 30,000 people, and their eliteness was simply incomparable.

After a fierce battle, Zhai Rang and Li Mi's army was defeated.

Cheng Yu then executed the two and his confidants on the pretext of delaying military affairs and losing soldiers and generals, and then mobilized elite troops to launch a fierce attack on Pei Renji.

Pei Renji and his son were no match for Han Xin, the vanguard general under Cheng Yu, and were eventually besieged by Han Xin in Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass in this era was located at the confluence of Sishui and Heshui. It was not easy to attack, but it was not particularly difficult.

Besides, Dayu could not be so stupid as to attack Hulao Pass.

The Dayu army had already prepared a surprise force.

After Chen Ping, Peng Yue and Fan Kuai attacked Dengfeng, they went around Songshan and attacked Luokou Warehouse.

(Map of Han Xin and Chen Ping's marching route)

The route taken by Chen Ping, Peng Yue and Fan Kuai was actually the route taken by Li Mi to attack Luokou Warehouse in history.

Luokou Warehouse of this era was located between Gongxian and Hulao County. It was located in a hilly area with a dangerous situation. The soil was hard and dry, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Not far from Luokou Warehouse, there were Yiluo and the Yellow River, which were connected to the Grand Canal. Going upstream from the Luo River, you can reach Luoyang, the eastern capital; going upstream from the Yellow River, you can reach Tongguan and Chang'an, the western capital; going downstream, you can reach Shandong to Haikou; through the Grand Canal, you can also reach Hebei and Jiangnan. It is a strategic location.

However, facing the surprise attack by Dayu, Luokou Warehouse was not well prepared, nor did it have the courage to set fire to the warehouse and die together, so it surrendered.

In fact, it is not that there are no war agents who have their eyes on the location of Luokoucang, nor that there are no war agents who have suggested to increase troops, but no matter how they suggest, such a military stronghold cannot be easily mobilized, or the army and generals of war agents can be appointed to manage it, so the war agents actually finally suggested nothing.

Luokoucang was taken, and Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan, who had been cut off from their retreat, had no choice but to surrender.

To show their sincerity, they also killed the military supervisor Xiao Huaijing.

In history, Xiao Huaijing had framed Pei Renji and his son, and was considered to have been framed by Xiao Huaijing. In the end, Xiao Huaijing was killed and surrendered to Li Mi. In this time and space, Xiao Huaijing also became their surrender.

After winning easily, the Dayu army continued to advance westward.

Chen Ping's troops encountered Liu Changgong's army coming from Dongdu to support Luokoucang in Gongxian County.

Liu Changgong's army was composed of four groups of troops, including 45,000 troops under Liu Changgong, the general of the Tiger Guards, more than 10,000 elite troops under Da Xi Shanyi, the governor of Henan, nearly 20,000 troops under Pei Hongce, the chief of the Ministry of Works and the governor of Henan, and 25,000 troops under Wei Fusi, the eunuch, totaling 100,000 troops.

The two sides fought a decisive battle in the area near Gongxian and Heishi. Pei Xingyan, Pei Renji, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, who were surrendered generals, and Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other fierce generals who were eager to make achievements, led the army to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army.

In all five battles, the Sui army was defeated in every battle.

Da Xi Shanyi, Wei Fusi and others died in the battle. The remaining troops of Liu Changgong and Pei Hongce retreated to Yanshi. The Dayu army took the opportunity to capture Heyang Warehouse, sent people to surround Yanshi, Baiguwu and other places, and attacked Heyang Warehouse and Huiluo Warehouse.

With the personal participation of Dayu's elite warriors, several key points were captured one after another, and Dayu was able to enter Jinyong City.

Jinyong City began with Cao Pi. In the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was one of the "Four Towns of Henan". After the Sui Dynasty moved Luoyang City to the west, Jinyong was located to the east of Luoyang, only 25 miles away from Luoyang.

Historically, Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, and Li Mi called himself Duke of Wei in Jianwei, so there was a saying of two emperors in 25 miles.
