The Jiangnan War only took 27 days.

The People's Revolutionary Alliance, the land and sea armies, used 87,000 troops to destroy Du Fuwei in Huainan, Lin Shihong in Ganjiang and Pengli Lake, and Xiao Xian in Jianghan Plain.

It also occupied Zhu Can's Nanyang Basin and Zhou Faming on the south side of Dabie Mountain.

He also launched the Yellow River Campaign in the north, annihilated Wang Bo of Qi County, annexed Qi County and Jibei County, and Xu Yuanlang, who was entrenched in Lu County and Rencheng.

With such a terrifying speed of advancement, in less than a month, seven princes, large and small, were wiped out, making other forces terrified.

In particular, Li Tang, Xia Guo (Dou Jiande), Young Marshal Army (Kou Zhong), Wagang Army (Li Mi), who had formally bordered the People's Revolutionary Federation, were even more worried at this time.

However, Li Tang can only defend Bashu and Hanzhong with all his strength now, because they are facing Xue Ju and his son Li Gui in Pingdi Liangzhou, and they have to face Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu in the north.

And Kou Zhong had just had a battle with Yu Wenhua and forced the opponent to Wei County in Wuyang County.

Li Mi had recovered some strength, but his territory was too embarrassing, with opponents on all sides, and now he was staring at Luoyang with Wang Shichong.

Dou Jiande could spare his hands, but because the People's Revolutionary Federation advanced too fast, it just occupied the south side of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, facing Dou Jiande across the Yellow River.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, all forces had to make a difficult choice.

November 12, 3 years of the new calendar.

That is the first year of Tang-Wude. .

With the support of the Guanzhong clan and other forces, Li Yuan and Li Shimin took advantage of Xue Ju's death from illness to defeat the resistance forces in Jincheng, and then quickly defeated Li Gui in the Western Liang Dynasty, initially removing the western threat to the Guanzhong Plain.

However, it was not all smooth sailing for Li Tang. For example, his hometown Jinyang was captured by Liu Zhouwu.

Just on November 12th.

Li Mi, Kou Zhong, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Luo Yi, the five forces, had an alliance in Wei County. Obviously, they already knew that if they continued to fight each other, they would definitely be defeated by the alliance or Li Tang.

They quickly divided the spheres of influence, and then agreed to the outside world, prohibiting each other from attacking each other, and any contradictions can be discussed in the mutual protection alliance.

In fact, the establishment of a mutual insurance alliance has its own core interests for these five parties.

For example, Wang Shichong, he is now sandwiched between Li Tang, Wagangzhai, and Dou Jiande, and the Heluo Basin is safe. If some pressure is not eliminated as soon as possible, Luoyang City may collapse on its own.

Due to Li Mi's improper position, there were also a lot of problems within the Wagang Army, and his position was as embarrassing as Wang Shichong's.

What is even more terrifying is that his sphere of influence and the People's Revolutionary Federation have a long border. From Huainan to the Nanyang Basin, the area bordering the two sides is thousands of kilometers.

This situation made Li Mi restless.

Kou Zhong has just fought with Yu Wenhua and He, and the site is also bordered by the People's Revolutionary Alliance on a large scale.

Dou Jiande also expanded to the south bank of the Yellow River because of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, which was separated from him by the Yellow River.

As for Luo Yi in Youzhou, he does have no land border with the Human Revolutionary Alliance. The problem is that the Bohai Sea bath allows the Human Revolutionary Alliance Navy to land on the coast of the Bohai Sea at any time.

In addition, Youzhou faces the northern grasslands, and the Tiele tribes are eyeing the Central Plains, and there is an undead Goguryeo in the east.

After thinking about it, these people had to make a choice.

With the establishment of the Zhuxia Alliance, Li Tang pacified Liangzhou.

Let the Central Plains enter a seemingly three-pronged situation, but how long this situation can be maintained depends on the digestion speed of the People's Revolutionary Federation.

Moreover, the interior of the Zhuxia Alliance was only a loose alliance, and now it had to unite in the face of the high pressure of the People's Revolutionary Alliance and Li Tang's snooping.

Jingzhou.

A fleet is moored on Jushui, a tributary of the Yangtze River. There is a small pier here, and not far away is the famous Pegasus Ranch in the south of the Yangtze River.

Song Shidao, who got off the boat, showed an embarrassed smile when he saw the beautiful woman standing on the shore with a horse.

This time when he came to Pegasus Ranch, he took the initiative to invite Ying, mainly because he didn't want to hurt Shang Xiuxun.

"Are you here to persuade me to surrender?"

There was a slight distance in that voice.

Song Shidao couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but forced a smile: "Xiuxun, this world is very big, would you like to come and see it with me?"

"..." Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head amusingly: "The People's Revolutionary Federation sent you here to use a handsome man's trick?"

The embarrassed Master Song said, his face was a little hot: "Xiu Xun, I asked to come here. The Alliance didn't ask me to do anything, I was just worried about you."

Hearing the last sentence, Shang Xiuxun softened a little: "How do you plan to arrange the Pegasus Ranch? I mean the people from the ranch."

"If the alliance wants to enter the north, it will definitely need a large number of war horses, and it also needs people who have experience in raising horses. Those who own horses will all be recruited to the horse husbandry company; those who do not want to raise horses will be allocated 10 acres of land, or they will become factory workers. It just can’t be a private industry anymore.”

Shang Xiuxun thought about it for a while, but nodded, and she said half-jokingly, "I will depend on you to support me in the future, Young Master Song."

"Don't worry, my salary is enough to support you." Song Shidao was overjoyed.

With the help of Song Shidao's handsome man and the force of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, even if some executives were dissatisfied, Pegasus Ranch still did not cause any trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that there are so many horse breeding talents in Pegasus Ranch, Qin Mo, who just took over as the governor of Jingzhou, would not be so polite.

After the personnel of the People's Revolutionary Federation entered the Pegasus Ranch, they quickly counted the population, horses, cattle and sheep, and fixed assets.

The population of the entire Pegasus Ranch is about 37,000, and the number of horses is 17,000. Among them, there are only about 2,400 horses that can be used as war horses.

There are 21,000 cattle, 63,000 goats, and 2,713 black pigs. Such a huge pasture is very rare in the Jiangnan region.

As for why it was possible to stay outside the control of the Sui Dynasty, it was actually related to the situation at that time. When the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, there were a lot of pastures in the north, and naturally the more than 10,000 horses in the Pegasus Ranch were not seen.

What's more, Pegasus Ranch has close ties with the Jiangnan family. When Yang Jian was there, he mainly focused on appeasing the South.

In the Yangguang period, the focus was on the Grand Canal and Yangzhou in the early stage, and uprisings broke out in various places in the later period, and there was no energy to pay attention to Pegasus Ranch. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The Pegasus Ranch can exist, and it is a product of a certain period. Once the great unification of the dynasty is completed and the good horses from the north continue to flow south, the decline of the Pegasus Ranch is inevitable.

For these horses and cattle and sheep, Qin Mo set up a Pegasus Ranch Company to manage these assets, and at the same time send some of the horses to Jiaodong Prefecture.

The People's Revolutionary Federation also set up a Jiaodong Animal Husbandry Company in Jiaodong Prefecture, and began to deploy horse breeding and animal husbandry in the northern region.

In the case of poor road conditions, horse transport is an effective supplement.

Even with steam locomotives and trains, horse transport still has huge uses for some rural areas.

As for cavalry and the like, the Army has not established a separate cavalry unit for the time being, mainly because the southern water network is densely populated, and the northern control area is also close to the coast and rivers.

Coupled with the deterrence of modern weapons, in the face of machine guns and artillery, cavalry will escape a little faster than infantry.

Song Shidao took Shang Xiuxun back to see Song Que, and then prepared to take her to other places in the People's Revolutionary Federation.
