Jia Xu said: "In the Longxi War last year, after Na Midang was defeated and fled, the minister has been collecting information on the western grassland, so that the king will raise a large army in the future to exterminate these people who dare to offend my Dayan. In the battle of Longxi on the same day, there was a small tribe named Ada under the command of Midang, and the leader of this department, Ah Meng, took the opportunity to gather many defeated soldiers. After more than half a year, taking advantage of the great defeat of Midang and the great reduction of prestige, he conquered many small tribes, and although his current strength is not as good as Midang, he has also gathered thousands of Hu cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers. ”

Although Zhao Ming didn't understand why Jia Xu exposed Ada at this moment, he also knew that Jia Xu would not harm himself, so he had to nod with Jia Xu's words.

Jia Xu continued: "Mi Dang's sneak attack on Jincheng this time, Ah Meng did not participate. Obviously, this person has felt full-fledged, and does not want to be subservient to the delusion anymore, and openly defy the order of the delusion. The strategy is to use the strategy of breaking the beard. ”

"How do you break the beard?" Everyone asked.

Jia Xu said again: "Ah Meng, this person, the ministers are very attentive and ambitious, but his strength is not enough, and he is extremely greedy for money. As long as he is tempted by a lot of money, he will be successful, let him pretend to join the command of the fan, and then hinder it, delay time, and when our army is repaired and the troops are raised to the north for a decisive battle, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the confusion will be broken. ”

Zhao Ming didn't speak, this heavy money temptation, of course, came out of Jincheng, who was fighting at home, and it had nothing to do with him.

Liang Wen thought about it for a while, but said: "I'm afraid that if I defeat Midang, there will be another Ah Meng." ”

Jia Xu chuckled, "Although the Hu people are greedy, they are also easy to control because of greed. We can ask Your Majesty to crown Ah Meng as the king of Xiqiang, and then hint to him that within a thousand miles west of Longxi and Jincheng, there will only be one king of Qiang, and give him a great benefit. After this incident, within a few years, Na Ah Meng was only afraid that he would be busy subduing the tribes in Longxi and Jincheng, and it would be difficult to pose a threat to our dynasty. ”

Zhao Ming had fully understood Jia Xu's strategy, and the expansion of the Ada Department would sooner or later attract the attention of others. Instead of being passively exposed, it is better to take this opportunity to ask the prince for a large fortune, and by the way, ask for a holy decree to give Ada a rightful Xiqiang king, so that he can justifiably expand his power in the future. This benefit is too great, Jia Xu's plan, deep!

Zhao Ming turned his head to look at Liang Wen and said, "This plan is feasible, what does Lord Liang think?" ”

The implication is that if my brother agrees, it's up to you, and if you agree, you can do it if you ask the prince for money, food, and holy decrees, and of course you go to your home field.

Liang Wen thought about it for a long time before he said: "This plan is indeed feasible, but it is ...... at this time If Mi Dang decides to attack Xiping together, I'm afraid that in the next few days, how can I have time to plan things again? ”

Fan Zeng continued: "Our three armies also have six or seven thousand cavalry, and the cavalry can be allowed to cruise on the northern front in these days. If we wait for the three armies to make a big show and pretend to be a whole army to go on an expedition, we will definitely make the confusion dare not easily move the main force north, and in this way, we can delay for some time. ”

Liang Wen listened, so he had to say: "That's all." ”

Zhao Ming immediately made a decision, "In this way, we will act separately." The teacher and Liang Junshou went to the Ada Department to negotiate, and the generals of Liangshan were responsible for infiltrating the Hu camp to do internal response, and the three captains of Gao Liang, Zhang Kui, and Huang Sang were confused by the sight of our whole army. ”

A few days later, Liang Wen and Jia Xu went to Ada to negotiate. She Saihua had already received a report from the Wuwang Mansion, telling the truth of the matter, and attaching the conditions for negotiation.

In one day, the two sides completed the negotiation, and the imperial court named Ah Meng as the king of Xiqiang, and supplied Ada with 100,000 stone of military food every year, 2,000 sets of weapons and armor, and 10,000 pieces of money.

In addition, the Ada Department also asked the prisoners and war horses of the war to belong to the Ada Ministry, this requirement Liang Wen did not let go, he was worried that the Ada Department would sit too fast, and after a lot of rhetoric, the prisoners belonged to the Ada Ministry, and the war horses belonged to the Han army.

It's a pity that the marshal of the Han army is Zhao Ming, and how to distribute it is not Zhao Ming's words. If you get more war horses, you can give them to others, if they are less, I'm sorry, my brother is a miser.

As for the Ada Ministry, 2,000 war horses must be provided to the imperial court every year, and these war horses are not given for free, but sold to the imperial court. The imperial court has the right to conscript the Ada tribe to fight, basically in the form of mercenaries, how many people are sent out, and how to negotiate the reward.

After the two sides made a decision, Ah Meng ordered 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers to find Midang.

Mi Dang has been very upset recently, and he has already agreed to go north to fight Xiping, who knows that the king of Wu led tens of thousands of horses to support Jincheng, and the defeat of Longxi last time made him a little jealous of this king of martial arts, and he did not dare to act rashly in recent days.

On this day, I suddenly heard that Ada was leading troops to surrender, and I was overjoyed, and immediately went out of the city to meet Ah Meng and others.

After the two met, Ah Meng said: "A few days ago, I was riddled with mundane things, and I couldn't come to help the king, please forgive the king." ”

Mi Dang said happily: "Where is it, I have the help of my brother, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break the 15-year-old King of Longxi Wu?" ”

Ah Meng said: "Don't worry, the king, our army is tired from afar, and we need to rest for a while, and there is ......."

Ah Meng wanted to speak and stopped, where did he not know what Ah Meng meant, he wanted benefits, and the Hu people who didn't want benefits in the war were all people with ghosts in their hearts. Mi Dang waved his hand: "Brother is far away, naturally you need to rest for a few days, this king will give you 50,000 stone of military rations, 10,000 yuan of money, and reward you with a good life to reward your son." ”

Ah Meng was overjoyed: "Don't worry, the king will rest for a few days, and then I will go to meet the king of Nawu in person." ”

Jia Xu and Liang Wen went to Ada to negotiate, and everyone was not idle, gathering together to discuss how to completely eliminate the Midang forces in Jincheng.

Although Ah Meng was the internal response in this battle, and the ten leaders of Liangshan were mixed with the Midang pawns, Zhao Ming still did not dare to act rashly, and only after the first battle completely eliminated the Midang forces, could the Ada Department thrive in the west without hindrance.

The most troublesome thing is that the more than 10,000 cavalry under Midang come and go without a trace, even if Midang is defeated, no one can stop these cavalry if they want to leave, the cavalry will not be destroyed, and Midang will resurge sooner or later.

How to calculate these cavalry, but it is sad for everyone.

Zhiyang is not better than Di Dao, this place is a horse and a flat river, very suitable for cavalry combat, if in the narrow terrain of Di Dao, it can be designed to block the two ends of the trapped cavalry, but in Zhiyang, it is difficult and difficult!

In the end, he gave a plan, pretending that Zhiyang was defeated, led the fans into the city, closed the door and beat the dogs, and put many horses on the streets, so that the cavalry could not give full play to their advantages, and then divided and killed.

This plan is a bit ruthless, Zhao Ming sighed secretly: The plan is a good plan, but if this plan is used, the people of Zhiyang will suffer, tens of thousands of Hu troops enter the city, once the city gate is closed, the street battle is opened, and there are inevitably Hu people who break into the people's homes, or use the people as hostages, or kill the people to vent their anger, or loot the people, in short, after this battle, the people of Zhiyang are afraid that there will not be one in ten.

Comparing hearts to hearts, if such a strategy is used in Longxi, Zhao Ming will not agree to it no matter what. And Zhao Ming, as the king of martial arts, is afraid that it is inappropriate to use such a strategy, even if this is defeated, the reputation of the Wuwang Mansion will be greatly affected, and the Jincheng County Guard and the Duwei are both the prince's people, if they have the intention to use this matter to smear the Wuwang Mansion, there will be endless troubles......

Fan Zeng saw Zhao Ming's frowns, understood Zhao Ming's worries, and had a flash of inspiration, "We can make people spread the news, saying that Wuwei was defeated, and the king was transferred to Wuwei by the imperial court to support." Then make the men in the people disguise themselves as Longxi and Liangshan soldiers and horses out of Zhiyang and go east, so that they can be confused and confused, and make the city of Zhiyang of our army more credible; Second, the people were protected as much as possible, and as for the remaining people's daughters, they could be placed near the city lord's mansion, and then heavily protected by heavy troops, which should be safe. ”

"Great goodness." Zhao Ming high-fived and praised, "The plan of Yafu and Mr. Fu is feasible." ”

After making a plan, Zhao Ming sent people to inform Ah Meng, and at the same time organized the people to put on makeup and leave Zhiyang.

Five days later, Mi Dang decided to break King Wu first, and then go north to attack Xiping, made an appointment with A Meng and others, and raised more than 80,000 troops to press under Zhiyang City.

After arriving at the city of Zhiyang, he got a news that Zhao Ming, the king of martial arts, had quietly left Zhiyang with his troops a few days ago, and Wuwei was defeated, and the two armies of Longxi and Liangshan went to the direction of Wuwei to support.

Mi Dang was puzzled, sent scouts everywhere to arrest the nearby people, and interrogated only to learn that tens of thousands of horses and horses left Zhiyang overnight a few days ago and headed east.

And just yesterday night, before the Midang army arrived in Zhiyang, the Jincheng County Guard and the Jincheng Commander led tens of thousands of main forces to retreat to Jincheng County.

Dade: God help me! was about to send someone to attack the city, but Ah Meng preemptively said: "King, my department has been taken care of by the king since I arrived in Jincheng, how about giving my department the first credit today?" ”

The delusion was self-sufficient, and Ah Meng immediately led his troops to attack the city. In less than half an hour, he had already entered the city and opened the north gate.

The fan looked up to the sky and smiled, "Go into the city and grab it for three days." ”

At that moment, he did not hesitate to lead troops into the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured into the city, but along the way, Mi Dang was a little puzzled: Zhiyang City is so desolate? Why didn't you see the people all the way?

It's a pity that Mi Dang still doesn't know that the north gate behind him has been closed by Ah Meng, and he ordered someone to put the horse that had been prepared on the road at the head of the city, and blocked the north city tightly.

Ah Meng guarded the north gate; Zhao Ming led the Longxi infantry to guard the west gate; Liangshan guards the east gate; The reinforcements of the two counties guarded the south gate, and the soldiers of Jincheng County, who were familiar with the situation of the city, started street battles under the leadership of Gao Liang, and began to eat away at the army of Midang little by little.

Seeing that the situation was different, Ou He, the general under the fan, reminded: "The king, the situation is not right, the sons and daughters have not seen any Han people." ”

Mi Dang also felt that the situation was weird, "Get out of the city first." ”

Immediately led the troops to the north city, before the people arrived in the north city, someone came to report that the gate of the north city had been blocked by Ah Meng and his troops. At this time, Mi Dang determined the plan, scolded Ah Meng angrily, and ordered: "Immediately send someone to investigate the other three situations." ”

Before Tanma went out, someone came to report that a large number of Han troops were besieging and killing Erlang in the south of the city.
