Yan Zhong was dismissive of Lu Bu, but Chen Cheng still valued him very much. In any case, there are still more than 40,000 elite soldiers and horses in their hands, and they have been fighting for the past few years, and they have eaten a lot of experience points alone. In this era of cold weapons, the elite troops who have been fighting are still very threatening.

"Duan Xuan asked us for help, hoping that we would help him with a batch of weapons, food and grass, but he didn't let our people enter Fufeng." Chen Cheng asked Jia Xu on the side, "Wen He and you should be very familiar with the people of Xiliang, what do you say we should do?" Say yes or don't? ”

He has a sense of dislocation in time and space, and now Duan Xuan is like a warlord of Guanning at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he doesn't know which side of Xiliang and Guanzhong is the Manchu Qing Dynasty and which side is the Ming Dynasty. How did the Manchus deal with Wu Sangui? Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf? I'm afraid that Duan Xuan, this emaciated tiger, won't be able to swallow Lu Bu's wolf.

Jia Xu first glanced at Yan Zhong, and then said: "Guanzhong's manpower and material resources are several times that of Xiliang, and Duan Xuan may not really need our support, he just wants an attitude." The lord gave him an edict to calm his mind. ”

"Is that all it takes?"

"In addition, please garrison troops in Hanyang, once the wind changes, they should quickly seize Chencang. With Chen Cang in hand, the follow-up army can smoothly enter Guanzhong. ”

Chen Cheng was very satisfied with Jia Xu's answer, but he still asked Yan Zhong first, "What does Bo Dao think?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "I heard that Dong Zhuo was beaten by Lu Bu a little too fast to bear, it is better to let General Xu Rong lead his troops south and put a little pressure on Lu Bu." ”

"From Shangjun to Guanzhong? The road over there is rugged, and Xu Rong doesn't have many soldiers and horses, so I'm afraid it won't have any effect. ”

Yan Zhong smiled: "Of course, there won't be much gain, but there won't be any loss." ”

Chen Cheng thought for a while, and was about to agree, but when he saw Jia Xu on the side with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but move in his heart and asked, "Does Wen He think he can do this?" ”

Jia Xu coughed and said, "The minister thinks that instead of working in vain, it is better to take advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo's army is in Guanzhong to capture Yunzhong and peep at Yanmen." ”

Yan Zhong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and retorted: "The land in the clouds is vast and sparsely populated, and it is useless to gain it, but it will help Lu Bu." ”

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "What if Lu Bu forces Dong Zhuohui to retreat?" ”

"Naturally, it is to return to the division to attack Duan Xuan........."

When Yan Zhong said this, he suddenly stopped, he looked at Jia Xu with a complicated expression, and sighed in his heart: He is really old, and he can't see such a simple question.

Chen Cheng didn't seem to see the change in the expression on Yan Zhong's face, and said with a smile: "Whether Duan Xuan will resist desperately or surrender Lu Bu, we will not have any losses, and we will get a cloud for nothing, right?" ”

Yan Zhong thought of one more thing at this time, and said, "I'm afraid that in this way, Dong Zhuo won't break with us." There are Xianbei people in the north of the clouds, Dong Zhuo in the south, and Wuhuan people in the east. ”

Chen Cheng didn't answer first, but looked at Jia Xu. Jia Wenhe smiled slightly and said: "If it is between the mountains and mountains of Bingzhou, our army may suffer some setbacks, but if we fight on the plains, the courage of the Liang cavalry in the west and the fierceness of the Qianghu light cavalry, who are you afraid of?" ”

Yan Zhong couldn't help but be speechless, he knew that there were still flaws in Jia Xu's words. Although the Xiliang cavalry and the Qianghu light cavalry are very capable of fighting, the headquarters in Xu Rong's hands is only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Huns are only 20,000 or 30,000, so it is naturally invincible to deal with the same number of enemies, but what if the number of enemies is double, triple, or even more?

However, he had just lost the upper hand, and now he didn't want to continue arguing, but left it to Chen Cheng to decide.

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "In the east, we still have to be calm. Even if we have a little capital now, we can't go around fighting at will, and it's better to only deal with one enemy at a time. Although the Western Regions have been pacified, we will use troops against Guanzhong next, and the Wuyuan side can temporarily take a defensive position. ”

Jia Xu still had a smile on his face, which made people see it like a spring breeze, "The lord is wise!" ”

Yan Zhong was a little disdainful again, Jia Wenhe was smart, but he was too tactful in dealing with people, where could he compare to his own happiness?

He said to Chen Cheng: "General Xu Rong has been guarding Wuyuan for three years, and he has worked hard, but he doesn't have much credit, do you want to transfer him back?" ”

Chen Cheng pondered it, shook his head and said, "I also know what Bo Dao said, but there is no one who can replace him!" ”

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "After General Zhao Yun comes back, how about letting Yan Xing change Xu Rong?" ”

Yan Xing has already achieved the position of military commander in the Yabing, and has made many military exploits, so it is said that he should also be promoted to another level. If you are released from the tooth soldiers, you will have to add one level as usual, so that you can directly achieve the position of a general.

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "When I come back, I will promote him to colonel first." Then he was appointed to take charge of Wuyuan, Shangjun military affairs, and added the rank of brigadier general. ”

"The prince is already preparing to promote the military system in Liangzhou?"

"It's been trialled in the tooth soldiers for more than a year, and now it's time to implement it."

Jia Xu is in charge of the subordinate province, and all military and government affairs have to be handled, so he naturally knows the "military rank" system. He asked, "Do you want to add military ranks to the county guards?" If you add a military rank, what level should it be? ”

"Taishou plus the rank of lieutenant general, the county soldiers will be reduced in turn."

Chen Cheng said: "Xingwen Lu Fang, let him be ready in Hanyang, once Lu Bu turns around and attacks Duan Xuan, we must be able to intervene at any time." If Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo can't tell the winner, then we will still follow the previous plan. ”

The chaotic battle in Guanzhong continued, and after Lu Bu subdued most of the area with bloody means, he fought Dong Zhuo again. Lu Bu's political skills are not very good, but he still has the ability to make decisions on the spot. Compared with Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo is more able to win people's hearts and has more lethal strength, but the skills of fighting are really a bit trendy.

The two sides fought in Sanfu, winning and losing each other, but the balance of victory gradually tilted to Lu Bu's side. With Guanzhong as a support, the soldiers and horses lost by Lu Bu's army can be replenished soon. In addition, Chang'an's arsenal still has a lot of armor and weapons, which can be continuously supplied to the army, and Dong Zhuofang's weapons can only be repaired by themselves after they are damaged.

By the time autumn comes, many places in eastern Guanzhong have been scorched. Although it is harvest season, many villages are deserted. Many people fled to Liangzhou with their families and mouths through Fufeng. Hanyang Taishou Lu Fang gathered it up, organized the people, and selected more than 5,000 strong people from among them, stationed at the foot of Maiji Mountain, and while training, they ate nearby wheat.

Regarding the behavior of the people fleeing to Xiliang, Duan Xuan, who had already seized the entire Fufeng, understood in his heart that this was to enhance the strength of the Xiliang army. But he couldn't stop all the people, because Fufeng didn't have as much land to distribute to the people who had fled. In order to deal with the enemy on both the east and the west, his soldiers and horses were repeatedly inflated, and there was not so much food to feed the fleeing people.

In recent years, the war in Guanzhong has not stopped, and the output of staple grains has been decreasing, but fortunately, there are potatoes and corn and other crops from Xiliang, so that although the people are poor, they can barely make their stomachs paste. Those people who fled to the mountains everywhere, who had no way to grow wheat and rice, but were able to grow some sweet potatoes and potatoes on the barren land in the mountains, except that it was not very convenient, they were even better off than the people at the bottom of the mountains.

Although there are jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, there is no government to urge taxes and taxes. If it weren't for the fact that many things in the mountains need to be purchased from the outside world, and the winter is too cold, I am afraid that everyone will have to run into the mountains.

The world is in turmoil, and there is no war in Shuzhong, Jingzhou, and Xiliang. Just like the United States during the World War, it naturally became a safe haven. Xiliang's reputation was not very good in the past, so it increased the number of tens of thousands of people, and the population of Jingzhou and Shuzhong increased even more.

Interestingly, these three places were all owned by outsiders. Chen Cheng is not from Xiliang, Liu Yan is not from Yizhou, and Liu Biao is not from Jingzhou, so all three will face some of the same problems - the struggle between localists and foreigners. The dispute between the Turks and the Turks has been going on for a long time, and there will be many contradictions in the next few thousand years.

When the people of the imperial capital, such as Chang'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, etc., were the capital, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven thought that the people outside were hillbillies. Economically developed regions also discriminate against poor areas, and although technology is advancing and social systems are constantly changing, people's hearts are almost the same.

Chen Cheng suppressed Han Sui, killed Song Jian, and then won over the local Haoqiang in Liangzhou, which gained a firm foothold in Liangzhou. Liu Biao united with the scholars of Jingzhou, purged the local powerful clan forces, and then united with Huang Zu and other powerful factions to nominally unify the nine counties of Jingxiang.

As for Liu Yan, the means are even more clever. In addition to suppressing the heroes of Yizhou, he also supported Zhang Lu of the Wudoumi Sect, isolated the place, killed the envoys of the imperial court, and became the soil emperor of Yizhou behind closed doors. As a result, the Wudou Mijiao entrenched in Hanzhong and Dongchuan, and became a rare **** force in Chinese history.

After Zhang Heng was transferred to Wudu Taishou, after a year of cultivation and recuperation, he began to expand outward. But most of the borders of Wudu were the territory of Liangzhou, and he didn't dare to challenge Chen Cheng's authority, so he hit the idea on the head of Hanzhong next door. The Black Armor Army frequently invaded Hanzhong, and fought several tough battles with the disciples of Wudoumi, and both sides had their own victories and defeats.

In the frontal decisive battle, Zhang Heng's black armor army can rely on the advantages of Jiajian to occupy some advantages, but the **** Wudou Mijiao can always pull out more troops, even if it loses for a while, it will be able to regain its combat effectiveness immediately. The Black Armor Army had just recovered some of its vitality, and it did not dare to fight hard with Zhang Lujun, so it could only withdraw to Wudu.

The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were mobilized, and there were 70,000 or 80,000 of them, and they couldn't move at all by relying on the 5,000 black-armored army alone. For this reason, Zhang Heng wrote to Yinchuan and wrote a letter to Chen Cheng, saying that the people in Hanzhong were weak and could be defeated. After Chen Cheng received the recital, he directly approved two words, "Don't allow it!" ”

Just kidding, now that we are about to use troops against Guanzhong, where is the spare strength to open up a second battlefield? We are not the United States of World War II. The terrain in Hanzhong either invaded the core plains in one fell swoop, or simply did not use troops, and repeatedly fought for those mountain passes between the mountains and mountains, which could only consume soldiers, horses, money and food.
