In August of the 9th year of the Ming Dynasty, after more than two months of preparation and mobilization, the Three Kingdoms fought again.

After the 100,000 Liangzhou troops of the Ming Dynasty were adjusted to the battles between Shanzhou and Huizhou, they were transferred back to the northwest to guard against the sneak attacks of Yan State.

Richard personally led more than 10,000 undead legion and the two-headed giant Jack to continue advancing towards Chang'an!

Since Richard led the undead legion, he relied very little on logistics, and even if he went alone, he would not be afraid of being cut off from his back!

The callback of the 100,000 Liangzhou troops blocked the Yan army's way. In order to preserve their strength, An Lushan did not suddenly attack, and the two sides formed a confrontation between Datong and Lingzhou.

However, Richard quickly felt how much financial pressure would be on Ming Dynasty to maintain the confrontation of 100,000 troops!

Don’t forget that Ming Dynasty also has a gold-swallowing beast in the northern defense line!

Moreover, the Liangzhou army did not rely on robbery to inspire morale, and if they confronted each other, they would not be able to enter the enemy territory, and naturally they would not have to rob it. It would take not much time for the Liangzhou army that had just aroused morale to fall back.

Knowing this situation, Richard issued an order to attack the Liangzhou army. When this order was issued, Richard even stopped the offensive against the Tang Kingdom and was ready to return to the northwest at any time.

In the worst preparation, Richard even planned to give up the territory of Shanzhou and Huizhou!

Because in Richard's eyes, the Liangzhou army, composed of prisoners of war and strict military discipline, even if the number of people is three times that of the confrontation of Yan army, the chance of winning the initiative is very low...

However, in August, 100,000 Liangzhou troops began to advance eastward to mid-September, the 100,000 Liangzhou troops actually burst out with 12% of the morale of the army under the inspiration of robbery, and the 30,000 Yan troops on the opposite side were not as strong as Richard imagined.

These 30,000 Yan troops were not the elite troops when An Lushan started his career, but the later reorganized Tang surrendered soldiers and local government soldiers and county soldiers!

If he didn't fight, Richard was really deceived by An Lushan's strategic fraud...

After all, the 30,000 Yan troops, both weapons and equipment, are like the Yan front-line field army, but the inside is different...

This intelligence error is mainly due to the incomplete intelligence network of the Jinyiwei in Yan State.

However, after the 100,000 Liangzhou troops eliminated more than 30,000 Yan troops, they gradually learned about the current situation of Yan State through interrogation of senior surrendered general Richard.

An Lushan is much more miserable than Richard expected. First of all, the elite army that started with An Lushan was destroyed by more than 80% of the battles with the Green-skinned Orcs. This is not the result of one or two battles, but the result of the continuous attacks of the Green-skinned Orcs for several years!

Perhaps because An Lushan showed too strong combat power, Thrall, the boss of the northern green-skinned orcs, threw most of the green-skinned orcs into the meat grinder on the Yanguo defense line.

In order to protect Yanyun's land, An Lushan could only use his foundation to fight against the green-skinned orcs.

The current situation is even worse than the Ming army entering the northwest!

What An Lushan didn't know was that his Yan Kingdom had made great contributions to East Asian mankind. Even with the powerful reproductive power of the green-skinned orcs, the millions of green-skinned orcs were fighting to the present time, only about 500,000 were left.

It is this visible quantity consumption that prompts Saar, who is determined to weaken the number of green skins, to constantly use Yan State as a green skin meat grinder...

The 30,000 Yan troops annihilated by the Liangzhou army were actually not An Lushan’s strategic fraud, but the current regular Yan troops are at their level. The older generation of elite soldiers have long been polished by green-skinned orcs...

Although there are still 200,000 regular troops in Yan State, except for some senior generals, these 200,000 people have almost changed one generation or even one generation!

Nowadays, Yan State's approach is the same as that of Richard. After training the new army in the rear, it is sent directly to the front line with the Green-skinned Orcs. Relying on the strong city defense and bloody actual combat to train troops, in order to barely block the Green-skinned Orcs' attack...

Originally, Richard was preparing to transfer the trained new army to use as elite troops. Later, Richard found that the loss of the northern defense line was too great. Once too many veterans were drawn, it would be easy to collapse!

By the same token, An Lushan faces a much more serious situation than Richard. Yan State is the main attack direction of the green-skinned orcs!

Naturally, Yan State was also in a state of equal military power as Ming State. Although An Lushan's territory was more oil and water than Richard, An Lushan's number of soldiers was larger, and he did not have the same system soldiers as Richard who did not have military pay!

Therefore, military expenditure is several times that of Ming Dynasty!

Military expenditures cannot be transformed out of thin air. An Lushan could only forcefully recruit tribes such as Jurchens in the deep mountains and forests of the northeast to meet the consumption of the front line, and at the same time, it increased the burden of war tax on the Han people in the country.

In An Lushan's eyes, he is now a bloody battle for the future survival of mankind, and it is natural that the people below pay more.

As a result, deep social conflicts have accumulated in Yan State, and how much money can the poor people plunder?

Policies such as taxes being paid into the acres, such as the joint taxes of officials and gentry, have been introduced one after another, and facing the crisis of destruction of the country, An Lushan can no longer care about so many...

The result is that An Lushan’s Dayan has a worse image among the people than Richard!

Naturally, peasant riots, landlords armed tax resistance, Northeast Jurchens joined forces to establish themselves and other chaos broke out one after another.

However, Yan State originally maintained its image as a strong country, and no one with real strength dared to rebel.

All this was destroyed after the 100,000 Liangzhou troops annihilated 30,000 Yan troops!

The army of 100,000 prisoners of war can wipe out the regular army of Yan, which undoubtedly made the lower class of society dissatisfied with An Lushan's rule and the landlord and gentry class who were dissatisfied with the new policies and taxes see hope for rebellion!

After the news of the defeat of the Yan army spread, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in Yanyun. After the Yan army failed to suppress, eighteen rebels appeared!

In order to suppress the rebellion, An Lushan had to draw troops from the Northeast that suppressed the Jurchen tribe. As a result, the Jurchens, who were bullied and forced to be conscripted as cannon fodder, turned against him without surprise...

An Lushan has given up the Northeast region. After the Jurchen rebellion, he was different from the peasant uprising army in Yanyun. They were almost not suppressed by Yan State!

As a result, the Jurchen tribe easily established its own dynasty - the Jin Kingdom!

Interestingly, the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens fully developed the style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and had no intention of provoking Yan Kingdom at all. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first expansion target was actually the Sanhan Peninsula!

So, a battle of beating the country broke out...

An Lushan, who was furious by the Eighteenth Route Rebels, decisively agreed after the Jurchens took the initiative to ask for peace. In An Lushan's eyes, the Eighteenth Route Rebels who dared to rebel in his lair should be the target of killing!
