Zhang Ji said excitedly: "Our army first falsely claimed that the West River needs to be connected from the direction of Shijun, and then use boats to transport the poisonous soldiers and horses into the mountains to set up an ambush, and then turn their backs to the river, and finally encircle and annihilate the enemy army!"

After he finished speaking, the audience was silent, and everyone couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a while.

Zhang analyzed that this operation consists of four parts, one link and one link. The first step is that there is a big war on the side of Xihe County, which is real. Therefore, there is a basis for the Huns to respond here.

Of course, the section of the Yellow River now occupied by the Xiongnu is inconvenient to pass, so the strategy must not be to let them go over to support, but to order this side to cooperate with the attack.

With the strength of the Huns here, it is estimated that they will not think that they will be able to wipe Zuo Feng Yi, but they can knock in the direction of Xia Yang.

Zhang Lu and Su Ze immediately understood the mystery of this strategy, and after some thought, they chose a bait that was more suitable than Xia Yang as a bait and had an excellent position.

After some discussion, everyone suddenly became enlightened. Although this operation was an auxiliary campaign on the other side of the Yellow River, it did not prevent it from going down in history as well.

Xue Xia, who had joined for the shortest time, said: "It's really amazing. In many places over the years, when it comes to the Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu, everyone has changed color, and I have heard that even the Chang'an court is full of remarks about abandoning Liangzhou and avoiding the Hu people. ”

"However, regardless of our strategic goals or specific deployments, they are full of the majesty of our big man. I believe that Bingzhou can usher in the recovery, and Liangzhou will be revived again. ”

Xue Xia laughed heartily, and everyone laughed too, it seems that no matter what happens in the future, this time the recovery of a large area of Han land will inevitably leave a name in history.

......

On the west bank of the Yellow River, from Shangjun in the south to Hetao in the north, the total number of Xiongnu soldiers was no less than 60,000. And because their relationship with Chang'an is becoming more and more tense, more than half of them are currently stationed in Shangjun, ready to cooperate with the Lishi direction.

At this time, although they temporarily sheltered from the cold in various cities, they were still on a certain alert. Left and right in the Lu Wangbu are temporarily stationed in the area of Gaonu City, which is relatively close to the south, and is ready to cooperate with the direction of Lishi to launch an attack at any time.

"Report! Hostility has emerged in the south. ”

King Zuo Yu stood up and asked, "You said there is an enemy in the south?" Could it be that the Xinxi Liang Army is calling over there? ”

The scout knew that King Zuo Yu Lu had a bad temper, and hurriedly replied: "It's not the Xinxi Liang Army, it's all seedless." They sent out groups of raiders, took our livestock, and harassed the powerful cities that supported us. ”

Zuo Yu Lu Wang said angrily: "Look for death!" I really thought that my Huns had declined. ”

The king of Lu also said: "There are more than 40,000 people in total, and there are up to 6 or 7,000 soldiers and horses, and they are willing to be the pawns of the Xinxi Liang army. Then don't blame us for exterminating it. ”

Zuo Yu Lu Wang decided that he would lead his troops to beat and beat all the unseeded Qiang first, and if they were not honest, or bring the Xixin Liang army over. Then use all the Hun soldiers and horses in this area and completely exterminate them.

Unlike the other side of the Yellow River, the relationship between the left and right Lu Wang is better, not only will they not dismantle the internal fighting, but they also do not strictly distinguish between the subordinates, and often deploy with each other.

Hearing that King Lu was going south to attack, King Lu suggested that he bring some of his men with him. In this way, even if you encounter the Xinxi Liang army, you can directly confront it.

On his side, he will now contact the other armed forces of all races that support them, and when the assembly is completed, he will bring people to support him, regardless of whether the other party is fighting or not.

In the end, King Zuo Yu Lu led 20,000 Hun soldiers from Gaonu to the expedition. The right king of Lu summoned the troops and horses of the other troops in Shangjun, and it was estimated that he could fight south within a month.

The Quanwu Qiang garrison is located in the area directly north of Xiayang and Yaxian, which has been equivalent to the vassal and barrier of the Xinxi Liang Army in recent years.

In peacetime, the two sides carried out trade, exchanged news, and sent troops to support each other in wartime. In this way, the development of all seedless Qiang is good, the centripetal force is getting stronger and stronger, and there is also a certain sinicization.

Of course, in addition to livestock, they also brought Zuo Fengyi some practical goods such as beds and stools. For example, the Hu stool was welcomed by the Xinxi Liang Army and became a more commonly used item for both the military and the people.

This time, the leader of the Qiang of all kinds accepted Zhang Ji's dispatch and took the initiative to harass the old royal court of the Xiongnu, and successfully attracted Zuo Yu Lu Wang to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses south.

Their 5,000 cavalry, fighting and retreating, led the Xiongnu army to the southeast of Shangjun, a little closer to Mengmen Mountain on the edge of the Yellow River, that is, close to the Hukou Waterfall.

In later generations, it was called Yichuan County, but at this time, because of the gradual decline of the Han soil, not only did not have the jurisdiction of the county and township, but even the nomads were rarely inhabited.

Just near the Yellow River, there is a small village, relying on the ferry and the wharf, gathering a little vitality.

Seeing that the Seedless Qiang had fled to such a remote place, King Zuo Yu Lu asked the leader of the scouts, "What kind of place is this?" Are you near a tribe that has no seeds? ”

The leader of the scouts replied, "Tell King Zuo that we are now on an east-west road, and here we go all the way to the river. To the south along the river, there is no land of Qiang. Just ......"

Zuo Yu Lu Wang said: "But what!? Didn't you chase them near their people, what's the problem? ”

The little leader replied: "It is true that there are no Qiang species along the river to the south, but further south they are Xia Yang, which is the core of the Xinxi Liang Army."

"Oh? What's so scary about that, our original plan was to destroy all the seedless Qiang, and then wait until the right King Lu and them came over, just to rob Xia Yang. happened to catch Dong Bai and give birth to my son. Hahaha! ”

"Hahaha!" The Huns on the side all laughed. Only the scout bowed his head and was silent, he had come into contact with the outpost of the Xinxi Liang Army, and knew how armed the latter was, of course he did not dare to despise the direction of Xia Yang.

King Zuo Yu Lu saw it, but he didn't lose his temper as usual, he knew that scouts were often more knowledgeable than the other men who had been herding for a long time.

He didn't ask much, but said, "We will continue to chase and kill all the seedless Qiang, and if their young and strong reach the edge of the river and still flee south, we will not chase them."

"When the time comes, you only need to divide your troops into the mountains to find their men and livestock, and then you can abolish this clan first, and then consider how to destroy their soldiers and horses."

His plan is relatively safe, which is equivalent to stopping after touching the northeastern border of the unseeded Qiang, and carefully planning to eliminate the Qiang tribe, rather than actively jumping into the encirclement.

Moreover, in his eyes, even if the Han people traded with the Qiang people again, it was impossible for them to travel nearly two hundred miles north to guard the tribes and livestock for the Qiang people, not to mention the cold weather and rugged roads, which made it difficult to transfer military supplies.

It is true that the Xinxi Liang army will not travel two hundred miles to guard the livestock of the Qiang people, but they can spend this cost and come for him.
