Therefore, we must never do such a arduous and distant expedition.

Even if it's a 'long and arduous expedition,' we must have Jiang Ming lead 600,000 men here. The supply of provisions and the transportation of military equipment will be enough to exhaust the vitality of the Great Gan Dynasty as much as possible!

The so-called attack on the Qin state.

Yixie Er also sent 70,000 to 80,000 light cavalry to harass, mainly to create a tense atmosphere!

Jiang Ming is currently at odds with his motherland, Qin, and there is a possibility that war may break out between the two sides. Naturally, he will not send troops to assist Qin. Therefore, heading north is his only way out!

Otherwise, if the Northern Xiongnu really occupy the Qin state, his troubles will be even greater!

It has to be said that Yi Xie Er was indeed quite cunning!

Jiang Ming was indeed thinking the same thing at that moment, planning to use the full strength of the nation to organize a large army to completely eradicate the Northern Xiongnu.

After more than two months of preparation, Jiang Ming divided his troops into three routes and marched north. On one side, he ordered Zhao Yong to lead his 150,000 troops north to Yunzhou to prevent the Northern Xiongnu from launching a feint attack on Jin and to provide support for Jiang Ming's main force.

In addition, Wei Ji was ordered to lead 150,000 troops to Zhongshan State to join forces with Murong Lie's army, bringing the total strength to 200,000. This force was designated as the central army to directly confront the main force of the Northern Xiongnu!

He himself secretly led 300,000 troops, plus his original 150,000 troops, for a total of 450,000, back to the Yan state, preparing to outflank the Northern Xiongnu and deliver a fatal blow!

The overall strategic policy was that Zhao Yong's main task was to defend the Jin territory and prevent the Xiongnu from entering.

Because of the unique terrain of Jin, once the northern ethnic minorities occupied Jin, the Central Plains would be almost indefensible!

Wei Ji's army, on the other hand, flew under the banner of its own central army, making the Northern Xiongnu people think that Jiang Ming was in the central army, and thus they engaged in a direct confrontation with him!

Jiang Ming's main force of 450,000 men was meant to be the final decisive blow!

They attacked directly from the eastern flank, sweeping away the Northern Xiongnu who were locked in a fierce battle with the central army, and ending the battle completely!
