Chapter 306: Take advantage of the situation

Yuanwei County was established by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, which is actually the area of Jingtai County in later generations. This place is located on the west side of the Yellow River, and it happens to be located in the southeast of Wuwei County, which is the entrance to the Hexi Corridor. And further northeast, along the Yellow River all the way to the northeast, you will reach the Ningxia Plain in later generations, that is, the Hetao area. This place is now where the Hu people gather, and although Li Xin is coveting the Hetao area, he also understands that he does not have the strength to take it now.

But even so, the county can be taken down first. Zhujuan County is actually the area of Zhongwei City, and the county seat is near Zhongning County in later generations. This county was also established during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and originally belonged to Anding County.

Its location is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, just north of Shimen, and is connected with Wushi, Chaona and other counties of Anding County by Xiluoshui. This Xiluo water is actually the Qingshui River in later generations, but because its upstream inherits the Yellow River, it flows through a saline-alkali land! Therefore, the water of this river is not clear, and moreover, it is still salty.

But it is precisely because of this river that it has created the famous wolfberry throughout the country. I have to say that between one loss and one gain, it is like heaven. Of course, for wolfberries, Li Xin didn't think of going there at this time! What he wanted was to take the western part of the Yellow River into his own hands.

The Yellow River was a natural hazard in ancient times, and this section is even more so. If you look at the map, you can see that under Li Xin's men, there was a straight line from Xidu County to Sumjuan County, and Xiping County and Jincheng County were located on the south side of this straight line.

A little further south of this straight line, there is an almost parallel line, which is the Yellow River. For the Huashan army, the existence of the Yellow River will be a barrier for them. Most importantly, it has extraordinary significance for many future plans.

For Li Xin, blindly defending is not his style. But pure offense is not what he likes. He clearly knew where his advantage was, that is, he had a little more prescience than the people of this era.

The most important thing is that although his appearance has changed history to a certain extent, his current self has not reached the point of completely changing the direction of the entire history.

Therefore, before that, he must take advantage of this advantage as much as possible to win enough opportunities for himself and the Huashan Army.

If one day, when Huashanjun grows up enough to change the entire history and influence the changes of the entire world, then his advantage will almost be lost.

But according to Li Xin's own estimates, as long as his plans are realized, when that time comes, there will be no problem even if he does not have this advantage.

"What the general thinks is indeed not what ordinary people can think of. From the Western Capital to the Ancient County of the Juan, the east and west span more than 1,000 miles, if it can be done, Liangzhou wants to go out of Hexi, I'm afraid you have to ask us! Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, because everyone was startled. After being stunned for a moment, Quan Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Not only that, if we can really achieve this goal, we can deter the Tugu Hun Qiang and other highland Hu tribes in the west, so that they will not dare to go south and harass the people in the east! And to the east, if possible, the Hetao can be recovered. That place, the water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and it is really a granary! If we can get it, not only will we have no worries about food, but we will also have no worries about cattle, sheep and horses! Wang Meng then answered.

In terms of the territory of the Huashan Army today, it is much worse than Fu Qin before Fu Jian became emperor in history. The Huashan Army is a new force that is growing strongly. This also means that the Huashan Army, regardless of the military capital, is more pioneering and enterprising.

According to the current situation, after the east took Shangdang and Hongnong, the geographical advantage was exhausted for a while. Further east, it is almost all plains.

The most important thing is that if you go east from the party, you will be a powerful Yan country! The Huashan army is very cautious about them and will not take the initiative easily. After all, once you start a fight with Yan Guo, it will be a matter that will affect the whole body, and it will not end easily.

To the east of Hongnong, or to the south of Shangluo Guanzhong, that is Jiangzuo's territory. Huashanjun now has a good relationship with Huan Wen and Jiang Zuo, and there is a wordless tacit understanding between the two sides, that is, if you don't offend me, I don't care about you!

In such a state, Li Xin and the others naturally would not destroy it.

In the end, only Zhangping and Liangzhou in Bingzhou, as well as the area around the Yellow River Great Wall in Beidi, remained.

Among them, the strength of Liangzhou is actually stronger than the Huashan Army for the time being! Moreover, not to mention that the road is too far, the most important thing is that now Liangzhou is still nominally a Jiangzuo minister! Therefore, it is naturally not possible to destroy Liangzhou directly.

Zhang Ping is not weak, but relatively speaking, he is the weakest of the several parties. However, now Li Xin has no intention of touching him. After all, even if it is won over there, there will not be much benefit for the time being, but it will directly face more pressure from Yan Guo.

In this way, the Huashan army set its sights on the north, that is, the area where the Hetao and the Yellow River flow. It's just that during this period of time, the whole army urgently needs to rest and recuperate, and there are many things, so no one has raised this issue.

But now Li Xin's own point is in line with this grand strategy. Therefore, everyone's thoughts began to expand at this time.

Since Anding County and Beidi County in the south have been taken, the Jincheng and Xiping lines in the west will be recovered, and Hetao and other places will be recovered when the time comes, it will be a logical thing.

"Wang Shangshu is right! The matter over there in Liangzhou will not last for a long time, at least, if we act quickly, it is estimated that it will only be enough to take Xiping and Jincheng County. It's great, it's just one or two counties of Wuwei County, but it's not worth it! The point is that once this line is grasped, whether we are going west or east, the initiative is in our hands! Li Xin nodded, and said with a straight face.

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid this operation will have to be carried out anyway. On the one hand, it is necessary to give orders to General Long Xiang and General Ying Yang, let them know the general plan, and prepare early. On the other hand, it is necessary to find a way to increase the number of troops in Qinzhou. Otherwise, with the strength of Qinzhou alone, it is necessary to attack the city and defend the territory of Qinzhou, I am afraid that it will not be enough! After thinking for a while, He Feng proposed.

"Well, the soldiers and horses in Qinzhou are easy to say, there were originally 10,000 troops, Hu Tian had 4,000 people, and the rest were originally scattered all over the place, and they were all mobilized to Xiangwu County and Lao Crow Fort because of Peng Lin's actions~ before. In this way, the trouble of transferring troops can be avoided. However, although there are no enemies around Qinzhou, whether it is Qiu Chi or Tugu Hun Qiang and other Hu people, they dare not attack us, but the strength to guard the counties is still needed! I think it is better to concentrate all the soldiers and horses in Qinzhou into the hands of the two generals, and the troops guarding the counties of Qinzhou will be sent by Guanzhong. In this way, there is no delay between the two! Quan Yi thought about this question for a while and proposed.

"This method is good, and with the local garrisons in Qinzhou's counties, it should basically be enough. What does the general think? Tian He pondered for a moment and agreed first, but he still had to ask Li Xin what he meant.

"Let's do it! Mobilize a part of the troops from Guanzhong into Qinzhou to guard against Qiuchi! For a period of time after that, everything came first with the Qinzhou War! By the way, speaking of which, how is the progress on Penglin's side? After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin felt that this method was good, so he agreed directly. However, he immediately asked Tu Qi beside him.

"General Peng, it's been half a month since they went to the land of Tuguhun. As far as his subordinates knew, those Hu people were not very willing to submit, let alone sacrifice horses! However, after General Long Xiang mobilized his troops and horses to the area of Old Crow Castle, the opponent's attitude began to soften. Now, except for some belligerent people, most of the Hu people actually want to agree to our conditions! Tu Qi hurriedly replied.

"Well, let's wait and see! Among the Hu people, there are many short-sighted people! It is said that it was this group of people who supported the small court of Fu Qin at the beginning. However, with Fu Qin being eliminated by us, the power of the main battle faction among those Hu people has declined, and if the Lord and the faction are the masters, it will still be beneficial to us! Nodding, Li Xin said.

"The military horse farm has also been chosen, and it is in the Guanshan area south of Longguan! This place used to be a land for Han Wu to herd horses, but now it happens to be used by us, and all the conditions are very favorable. Speaking of this, Tian He hurriedly said.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu and establish a powerful empire, which had a lot to do with the transformation of infantry to cavalry. Before he attacked the Xiongnu in the north, most of the war horses of the Han Dynasty came from the Guanshan area in the Longshan area!

It is said that at its peak, there were more than 300,000 war horses, which shows the importance of that place. However, with the decline of the Han Empire, that place slowly declined!

Although it was still an important place for horse herding, with the frequent wars, the horse herders ran away. The local forces do not have enough financial resources to rebuild, so they have not been restored to the prosperity of the past! But the foundation is still there, and it can be restored with a little transformation!

"Good! That place must recover quickly, and for a long time to come, I'm afraid we'll all have to rely on that place to support the horses! Guards, in particular, must be properly arranged! This is another piece of good news, Li Xin said happily. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
