Chapter 218: Interests
After discussing it for a while, Li Xin and the others decided to send a part of the soldiers and horses from Shangqi and Linwei to the south to take the Tiger Wolf Pass and other places. Anyway, now that the two counties of Shangqi and Linwei are basically calm, there will not be too many problems, and it doesn't matter if the number of troops is a little smaller, as long as the local stability can be maintained.
The Huashan Army moved quickly, which was naturally a happy event for Li Xin and others, but for some others, I am afraid it was not a good thing.
Over there in Liangzhou, in the Liangwang Palace of Guzang County~, Zhang Zuo waited every day for Niu Ba to take back Jincheng, and then went to Longxi to take a large ~ piece of land for himself. Who would have thought that since the start of the war, his 20,000 troops have been blocked on the front line of Jincheng, and they can't even enter the boundaries of Qinzhou.
"Tell me, the bullies are too useless, right? An army of 20,000 has been fighting for ten days and half a month, and it is still in the same place! If I'm so incompetent, I might as well go out myself! "Zhang Zuo is very angry in his heart!
After all, it is strange to be happy to watch Huashan Jun eat meat, and eat piece after piece, and he can't even drink the soup!
It wasn't until now that he realized that when he decided to form an alliance, he seemed to have gone awry. overestimated the ability of his subordinates, and underestimated the level of others, but now, it seems that he has not returned to his original cost by just contributing.
"King, you can't blame General Niu for this! After all, although we have an army of 20,000, Fu Qin has a lot of soldiers and horses on the front line of Jincheng! Coupled with the fact that the Fu Jian and Fu Fa brothers held on to the ground, and with the assistance of Wang Zhen, the traitor, it was not easy to fight Jincheng! "Zhao Chang didn't care so much about this matter, after all, no matter what the result was, unless Fu Qin came over instead, otherwise, his benefits would not be less at all. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to say a good word for the generals on the front line.
"So what do you say? It's only been a long time since the war started, and the Huashan army is about to fight in Xiangwu County! You said that the strength of the Huashan Army is not more than ours! How can people fight so fast, 20,000 Qin soldiers and horses, and say that they will be wiped out? Not to mention the Huashan Army, even that little Qiu Chi has actually won several counties in a row, which is really infuriating! "I'm afraid that there will be a comparison, and if I compare the achievements of the Huashan Army, my side is really overshadowed. At first, I thought I would come out on top, but who would have thought that I would actually take a countdown.
"King, it's not that the soldiers and horses of Fu Qin are too weak, but because the Huashan army is too strong! I have long heard that when the Huashan Army was training, it was extremely difficult, and it was not a human life at all. Besides, this time they attacked Fu Qin, either by sneak attack or by deceitful city, and they used a lot of tricks! There are only those two real tough battles, and the number of people is about the same! We're going to siege the city, and of course the result is different! ”
"That's it, let's not talk about this! The situation on the front line must change as soon as possible, otherwise, this time we will do it! Zhang Zuo waved his hand annoyedly, not wanting to listen to these words of defense anymore.
"Well, as far as the minister can see, now that Fu Qin and the Huashan Army are about to start a decisive battle, there is not much time left for us. If Fu Qin is really destroyed at the hands of the Huashan Army, even if we fight it, I am afraid that we will not get much benefit. After all, that Longxi County is too close to Jincheng, and the Huashan Army will soon be able to go north to occupy several counties in Jincheng! Zhao Chang groaned for a moment and said slowly.
"Go on!"
"The only way to do this is to send more troops and horses to General Niu and them to increase the intensity of the attack!" Zhao Chang suggested.
"Well, it seems like that's the only way! However, what do you think should be the best way to send them? Zhang Zuo listened, groaned for a while, and then asked.
"In the opinion of the minister, he can order Hezhou Assassin Shi Zhang Qian to lead an army of 20,000 and go southeast out of Imjin Pass. In this way, echoing with General Niu in the northeast, he will definitely be able to break through Fu Jian's defense in one fell swoop. Perhaps, when the Huashan Army and Fu Sheng are both defeated, the army can also take the opportunity to take Longxi County! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zuo couldn't help but glance at Zhao Chang deeply, and did not agree on the spot.
The boundary of Hezhou is in the area of Linxia Autonomous Prefecture in later generations. This place is located in the southwest of Lanzhou, but it is located right in the northwest of Longxi County! And the Imjin Pass was placed by Zhang Zuo's great-grandfather Zhang Liang to guard against Qinzhou.
Of course, the reason why he didn't agree immediately was not to say how this place was, but how this Zhang Qian was. This Zhang Qian is the assassin of Hezhou, and his soldiers are strong and strong, and when he passed, he was feared by Zhang Zuo.
And this, as a favored minister, Zhao Chang can't be unclear. Now he made a suggestion to let Zhang Qian lead his troops to fight against Fu Qin, and he had to let him take a good look at the meaning of this. Of course, the main consideration is whether it is possible for you to get the benefit from it, and there will be no harm.
In history, Zhang Zuo's fall can be said to have a lot to do with this Zhang Zuo. It was in order to weaken his strength that Zhang Zuo wanted to send someone to replace him and kill him. It's a pity that Zhang Zuo did not succeed, but exposed his conspiracy.
This directly led to some generals such as Liangzhou rising up against him later, and he died because of this.
"King, let the Hezhou Assassin Shi lead his troops to attack Fu Qin, this is a major military event! If Zhang Tingshi dares to complain or neglect the king's order, he will be punished for punishment. Even if he goes according to the order, under the battle with Fu Qin, the loss of soldiers and horses is inevitable! Of course, Zhao Chang knew what his master was thinking, so in the spirit of sharing his worries for the master, he immediately made it clear.
"You have a point. Since the land of Hezhou is closer to Longxi County, Zidang should transfer troops from there! You quickly prepare an order, order Zhang Qian to lead the army eastward, be sure to recapture Jincheng County, and open the road to Longxi! Hearing this, Zhang Zuo's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he agreed.
"Yes, the minister will do it immediately!"
Compared with Zhang Zuo's red eyes, Qiu Chi Yang Guoke is much more indifferent. After all, since the start of the war, it has almost cost him to swallow the entire Wudu County. It's a blessing that fell from the sky, and who wouldn't be happy.
"Guogong, now that the day of the battle between the Huashan Army and Fu Qin is approaching, in order to resist the advance of the Huashan Army, Fu Sheng has even withdrawn the soldiers and horses from Shichang County and other places. Such a time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us! "In the Guogong Mansion, the new Qiu Chi Gong Yang Guo is sitting opposite his subordinates at this time. His uncle Yang Jun said.
"Now that Wudu County has not been completely taken, our troops have not been transferred back! If you rush north at this time and take these two counties, once Fu Qin suddenly returns to the army, or if the Huashan army also wants to capture the city, I am afraid that the result will not be good! Yang Guo thought for a moment and frowned.
"Having said that, but it is already difficult for Fu Qin to resist the Huashan army now, once the soldiers and horses retreat, how can they go back! Moreover, we agreed with the Huashan Army at the beginning, and each took the land according to his ability. As long as we take these two counties first, they will not dare to break the agreement and turn against us. Otherwise, aren't you afraid that we will unite with Fu Qin? Yang Jun didn't think so, what he saw was that the two counties were in the north, and this was the time when the army was empty.
"General Yang's words are reasonable, the opportunity is rare, if we don't take the two counties, it will definitely be obtained by others. When the time comes, I don't know when I will be able to have such an opportunity! Other officials also persuaded him.
For the small Qiu Chi country, it would be thankful that others didn't come to fight them, let alone expand outward. Besides, who doesn't have a little ambition! If you can expand your territory, there are many benefits!
Therefore, Yang Guo only thought about it for a moment and decided.
"Since you all think that you should take the two counties, then do as you want! We still have thousands of troops in the north, which were originally used to defend the soldiers and horses of the two counties. Now that the soldiers and horses of Fu Qin have retreated, they can be ordered to go north, move within the two cities, and occupy the land of the two counties! However, once you encounter the people of the Huashan Army, you should negotiate with a good student, and you can't cause trouble suddenly! ”
The benefits of Fu Qin's demise are too great, and now it is like a big piece of fat meat, placed in front of the three of them. Everyone wants to go up and eat, everyone wants to eat more, people like Zhang Zuo are not afraid of death, they just think about eating as much as possible.
And Li Xin and Yang Guo are relatively more self-aware. Li Xin eats with strength, but if he eats it, it is absolutely impossible to spit it out again. Yang Guo, on the other hand, eats as much as he can, but he will never let himself be in danger of dying.
In the final analysis, such a benefit is too great for one person to eat at all, no matter which of the three people is the same. In terms of Qiu Chi's strength, after taking Wudu County, it is basically impossible to do more for a while.
When Zhang Zuo's reinforcements had just left, Li Xin's side had just joined Li Erhei and them. Since the officials and guards sent by Wang Meng from Guanzhong were already in place one after another, the soldiers and horses that were originally used to defend the city were also transferred.
Together, there were 12,000 of these armies, gathered outside the small county town of Xinyang, and they were furious!
Originally, Hu Tian's side fought quite hard because it was a tough battle, and the progress was the slowest among the several soldiers. But then Fu Liu retreated and abandoned these places himself, so that he could quickly complete the task.
Now, in the entire Anding County, Sun Tie, who succeeded Li Erhei to guard the Xinping area, has taken them over. In this way, it is just enough for Hu Tian to rest assured that he will go west. Relatively speaking, among the several soldiers and horses, Sun Tie's task has been completed.
Next, he only needs to defend Anding County, and at the same time, clean up all the counties in the territory, so as to connect Anding County and Xinping County. In this way, you will be able to better build a defensive line to defend against the Hu people in the north.
