Chapter 886: The Battle of Guanghan I
The Great War of the Southern Expedition is related to the unification of Yizhou.
Mujing must be recruited in person.
It's not just about morale.
It is also a great opportunity for him to regain the hearts of the people of Yizhou.
But before he personally went south to conquer Yizhou County, he still had to stabilize the overall situation of Yizhou, and he couldn't drop the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
Today's Yongchang County, Yizhou County, compared to several counties in Bashu and Hanzhong, is a small contrast between sesame and habits, the foundation of Yizhou is still in the land of Bashu and Hanzhong, where there is chaos, there can be no chaos here.
Although Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also surrounded by enemies, Mu Jing himself is in charge, but he is not afraid that someone will dare to attack, but once Mu Jing goes south, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will not be ready to move, and it is very important to take precautions.
First of all, Jingzhou, the problem of Jingzhou is basically solved now, the establishment of Xiangyang County, cut off a piece of meat in Jingzhou, to fight, should also fight, and Liu Biao forcibly held back this breath, which means that in the next year or two, Liu Biao will not dare to start a war with the pastoral army.
And then there's Nanyang.
Nanyang is adjacent to Hanzhong, but also with Xiangyang County, the most important thing is that when Mujing was in Hanzhong, he spent a lot of effort to establish two gallop roads, opened up the boundary between Dongshan and Hanshui, and connected the two counties.
Once Huangfu Song sent troops, he could go straight to Guanzhong.
This is a benefit of people's livelihood, and it has become a military weakness.
However, the key is people, Nanyang is dangerous, but Huangfu Song's problem is easy to solve.
Although Huangfu Song is good at fighting, but he is not good at governance, Nanyang's internal problems are enough for him to have a headache, and he is sending people to the imperial court to provoke the Guanzhong Group and the Xiliang Group.
If he wanted to enter Yizhou, it would only be possible unless he had the full support of the Chang'an Imperial Court.
But now, Dong Zhuo has returned to Beijing, the Son of Heaven is about to move, and the situation in Chang'an is about to erupt, Mu Jing doesn't think that he can get the full support of the Chang'an court at this time, so his chance of going south is very small.
Finally, there is the frontier to the northwest.
Dong Zhuo and the Son of Heaven are competing, and they shouldn't be worried.
But the people in Xiliang are all crazy.
Therefore, Mu Jing still decided to personally provoke a local battle of World War I, fight one, shock it, and calm Xiliang's superfluous thoughts, then Dong Zhuo basically did not have the mood to wave his troops south.
The most important thing for Dong Zhuo is to hold the power of the central government.
In the past, he thought that he could control the young Son of Heaven, but recently, the Son of Heaven has been moving repeatedly, Mu Jing doesn't believe that he will not be vigilant, and at this time, he waved his troops south, and for Dong Zhuo, what he was even more afraid of was the fire in the backyard.
The Xiliang Army has also been fighting hard for the past two years, and is recuperating and recuperating, which is also the reason why Dong Zhuo will not move troops.
But just because he won't use troops doesn't mean he won't borrow them.
This led to the Battle of Guanghan.
This battle is the key to Mu Jing's failure to move south, and he must wait until the results of the Guanghan Battle before going south in person.
While waiting, this battle kicked off the prelude to the decisive battle.
"Driving !!!"
The iron cavalry of the Qiang cavalry ran in the gallop of Guanghan County.
"Chief, we've walked more than a hundred miles, but there's not a single family, what's going on?"
"I don't know!"
As the vanguard of Yuehu, Biao Meng led his cavalry and took the lead in breaking through the county to enter, but the cavalry ran for more than 100 miles, but did not find any population, and some towns and villages were obviously empty.
"Chief, there's a city ahead!" The scout rode back, and the report said.
"Check it out!"
Biao Meng flew his horse and rushed over in the lead.
Yinping City, also known as Yinping Road.
The city is not big, it used to belong to the Guanghan vassal state, but after Mu Jing took power, the removed Guanghan vassal state was merged into the Guanghan county, and this city is one of the changes in the northwest of Guanghan.
"Whoever is in the city, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the day the city is broken, the time the city will be destroyed!" Under the city, Biao Meng led thousands of cavalry to charge and shouted.
"Woo Woo !!!"
In response, there was a rain of arrows on the city.
"Damn it!"
Biao Meng failed to rush to the city, so he had to retreat.
The cavalry siege of the city is very disadvantageous.
"Chief, we don't have siege equipment, what should we do?"
"Leader, you can't rush through!"
Several soldiers of the Qiang cavalry were a little indignant.
"Hmph, get around!"
Biao Meng said coldly: "We cut off their back road, and when the main force comes up, we will directly surround them!" ”
"Yes!"
The cavalry bypassed the city of Yinping.
But a day later, they were treated in the same way in Gangdi City.
……
Two days later, the vanguard cavalry of Baimaqiang joined up with the main force.
Biao Meng knelt down in front of Yue Hu: "Wang, the Han people are too cunning, they have moved all the villages, there is no one outside the city, there is no food, and even the water source has destroyed them, we have no siege equipment, we can't get in!" ”
"High Priest, what do you think?"
Yue Hu's face turned a little gloomy.
The Qiang people fought no better than the nomads on the grassland, most of them fed their wars with war, and they didn't bring much grain and grass.
"The Han people have been prepared for a long time, and there are only two roads in front of us!"
The high priest held the scepter in his hand and whispered, "Either city by city will be attacked, and it will take a lot of time!" ”
"What about the second way!"
"Don't care about them, they don't attack enough, they have more than enough defense, but they can't stop our way!" The high priest said lightly: "Our army, mainly cavalry, foot soldiers are also like the wind, marching fast, they can hold the city, can not block our way, we can go straight in, from here all the way south, regardless of it, directly to the city of Guanghan, as long as the rebels of Guanghan are converged, the center is blooming, we can use the power of the Han people, bit by bit to knock down all the Guanghan, when the time comes, the entire Guanghan is the plain where our Qiang people graze!" ”
"In this case, we will take risks!" Yue Hu's eyes burst into a glint of light.
Whether he can become the king of Qiang, the vision of the city government is a decision.
He dared to rush in, the first was his confidence in Bai Maqiang's strength, and the other was his trust in Dong Zhuo, if he was too risky, he would still consider whether it was worth the risk.
"Hmm!" The high priest nodded lightly and said, "Wang, once we go deep into the hinterland of the Han people, we will become isolated and helpless at that time, and it will be difficult to respond if something goes wrong, and I am most afraid that we will be ambushed and surrounded by the Han people at that time, so we will be in trouble!" ”
"There is indeed such a possibility, but now that the matter has come to this, a certain person cannot retreat at this time!"
Yue Hu stood up, a pair of tiger eyes shining hunting: "The Qiang people have always worshiped heroes, I have just sent troops in this battle, if I come here, but I am cowardly and do not fight, how can I get the recognition of the tribesmen, this battle, even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, I have to fight!" ”
There was a sense of self-confidence in him: "And in this vast Han land, no matter how many ambushes there are for their Han people, how can they trap our powerful white horse warriors, I believe that my warriors will not be trapped!" ”
He did have the confidence to say such things.
Baimaqiang is now the most powerful tribe among the Qiang tribes, the battle of Jishi Mountain, in order to seize the king of Qiang, but also defeated other big tribes, he Yuehu is now joining forces with Dong Zhuo, with the support of the armament of the Han court, plus the warriors of Baimaqiang are strong themselves, and their combat effectiveness is invincible.
Even if the Han people really have a plan, he has the confidence to rush out.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to order: "Order, the cavalry is the vanguard, the infantry is the Chinese army, immediately march to Luo County, converge with the Han people in Luo County, and take Guanghan!" ”
"No!"
Several of the leaders quickly took orders, and then set off on fire.
Tens of thousands of Qiang troops rushed all the way over, and everywhere they went, no one dared to stop them, and the momentum was fierce, and they rushed into the hinterland of Guanghan.
Among the Guanghan Dynasty, with Ruoxian as the center, to the north semicircle, radiating hundreds of miles around, Mianzhu, Peixian, Guangrou and other counties, all included, a dense net, has been opened, just waiting for the prey to die......
