At that time, if there was no food in the army, they often responded with food outside, and to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a nuisance to the people; But what if the people have no food?

Rob!

After thinking about it, in the end, not only Yuwentai, but all the people present came out with this method.

So the next thing is naturally, who to rob? Where to grab?

Whether it is the herdsmen in the northwest, Qiuchi in the southwest, or Tangchang, they are all barren, if they send a small force of soldiers and horses, they are afraid that they will not be able to defeat others, and if they send heavy troops to attack, they may not be enough to rob the military supplies for the expedition. Further north, the desert is thousands of miles, it is a creeping world, people don't turn around to loot Guanzhong is already about to burn high incense, how dare you run to cause trouble? The south of the Qinling Mountains is the boundary of the Liang State, and the two sides are still at peace, but the East Thief seems to have a good relationship with it.

Looking around, the southeast and northwest can only start from the east thief--- anyway, it is a mortal enemy from beginning to end, since you can fight it, why don't you want me to take it back?

If you take the east thief, you can also choose the north, middle and south three roads. The north road wants to cross the big river moat, and if you can't get the money and food, you don't grab it, but you teach Gao Huan to intercept the back road, which is a one-pot end, which is definitely inappropriate; The Wuguan Road on the South Road is steep, Yu Dong Thief is like this, why is it not for his own army?

Calculate it, it is still the best in the middle lane, enter the rich land of Heluo, and retreat can protect the natural danger of Tongguan. Not only that, Dou Tai was newly mourned, and the defeat of Xiaoguan greatly damaged the vitality of the land of Luozhou in the Eastern Dynasty, and now although Gao Ao Cao is in charge, the army is far less than before. The most advantageous point is that as soon as you get out of Tongguan, you will go to Shaanzhou in the Eastern Dynasty (Shaancheng Prefecture, now Sanmenxia City, Henan Province), and in Hengnong County, its first county, there is one of the largest granaries in the Eastern Dynasty, which is said to be rich in storage, enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for several years.

The entire Western Dynasty has a total of less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, if you have such a big granary, then you still have it?

As soon as I thought of this, everyone seemed to have seen the golden corn in front of me, within reach, and the people were already hungry, so why did they have to hesitate?

That is, on the bank of the Wei River, the prime minister of the Western Dynasty and the Taiyu Wentai of the Guanxi Dynasty arrived on the spot to go out of Tongguan in the east and seize the great plan of Hengnong.

Perpetrator 3:

One is to counterattack the Eastern Dynasty and suppress the Eastern thieves.

The second is to capture the Hengnong granary to facilitate the army to eat.

Third, it is said to open up the territory and expand the territory to protect the customs. The previous Shangluo was lost and recovered, and Yuwentai was also afraid for a while. If Hengnong is obtained, not only Tongguan ran to the rear, but also Hengnong as the base, wings to protect the side of Luo, and even cross north to threaten Hedong, the so-called three birds with one stone.

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone agreed to it, and all of them said that they wanted the soldiers and horses in the state to go east with the prime minister. This is not very strange--- first, after the victory of Xiaoguan, Yuwentai's prestige is incomparable, he said this, the big guy is not good to push back like before, second, the states are short of food, and they really can't hold on, no longer contribute at this time, how can they expect to get a piece of the pie when they look back?

。。。。。。

In the middle of August of the third year of the Great Unification (the fourth year of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the third year of Liang Datong), the soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong states gathered in Tongguan, and the Western Dynasty Prime Minister Yuwentai was below, including the Hou Chen Chong of the Assassin of Fengzhou, Li Hu of the Eastern Qinzhou Assassin, Zhao Gui of the Qinzhou Assassin, Yu Jin, the Assassin of Jingzhou, the Xiwu of Jingzhou, the Wang Xiong of the Qizhou Assassin, and the hussar general He Basheng, the later general Duguxin, the Wuwei general Yang Zhong, the champion general Yuwenhu and so on.

In addition to Kaihuazhou Thorn Shi Pei Guo guarding Hedong, Yuanzhou Thorn Shi Koluo Town Fu Northwest, Luozhou Thorn Shi Helianda Town Shou South Road, all the Guanxi Zhuhao, one should be here. The lineup is neat and prominent, and it has never been seen before.

The generals who lead the troops are already strong enough, but do you want to talk about the men and horses under your command? . . Carefully calculated, the total was less than 20,000.

This is also a helpless thing--- at this time, the grain and straw in Guanzhong have reached the most tight point, and the army is different from the garrison in the field, people eat horses and chew, and every day is a number of days. Therefore, although the states have only sent three or two thousand troops each, they have really done their best.

Fortunately, the big guys are united, and what they brought out this time is all the elite in the state, and there is no doubt that the combat power is strong.

On August 22, Yuwentai on the upper floor of Tongguan sounded like a bell, and swore to the teacher: "Today, Fengtianwei will punish the riots." All the armies are in good shape, and they do not disturb the people or threaten them. If you use your life, you will be rewarded, and if you slack off, you will be killed. I would like to take this oath and encourage you together! ”

Tens of thousands of people shouted "mighty" under the mountain, shaking the heavens and the earth.

。。。。。。

On August 24, Yu Jin, the vanguard of the Western Army and the general of the Fu Army, took the lead and attacked the fortress of Pandou in Shaanzhou (now west of Lingbao City, Sanmenxia, Henan Province) with one drum, captured more than 1,000 people, and killed the guard general Gao Shuli.

Pandou to the east, the topography of Shaanzhou is a flat river. The main force of the western army hurried eastward and approached directly under Shaanxi.

In order to prevent Gao Aocao from Luozhou from coming to the aid after hearing the news, Yuwentai braved the pouring rain and personally supervised the battle under the city. The morale of the western army was 100 times, and Hou Mo Chen Chong and Da Xiwu were the first to climb from the west and north gates, and the city was broken.

The Eastern Wei general Gao Gan died in the chaos, and Li Huibo, the assassin of Shaanzhou, was captured by the Western army and captured Chang'an. Yuwentai was captured by more than 4,000 pawns.

There is also Yang Zhong, the general of Wuwei, who persuaded the Yang clan in Hengnong County to come forward with the affection of his relatives, and the soldiers were bloodless, and all the counties in the county came to join within ten days. Yuwentai was overjoyed.

As a result, Yuwentai took Hengnong County, expanded the land for 200 miles, and placed the Hengnong granary in the middle. When I opened it, although it was not as piled up as rumored, it was probably because of the famine that had been eaten and transported away a lot, but for these hungry and red-eyed Kansai Yankees, it was really a rare scene in the world. For a time, tens of thousands of people were all salivating with their eyes shining and salivating...
