Chapter 339: Autumn High Horse Fat

Zhang Ping was very happy about Zhang Qiang's reply, and after thinking for a while, he asked the messenger: "How do you feel about entering Liangzhou on this trip?" Is that Zhang Qian a promising person? If he were to cooperate with us, would he not respond to the story in vain, but would he not act at all at that time? "From the perspective of his subordinates, when mentioning Huashanjun and Li Xin, that Zhang Qian gritted his teeth with hatred, as if he wanted to eat his flesh raw. Moreover, he repeatedly asked about the date of sending troops, as if he wanted to send troops as soon as possible. In addition, he put down the rebellion in Jiuquan County not long ago, so his subordinates think that he should really want to cooperate with us! The messenger thought for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, okay, this matter is done, you are a great achievement! Wait until the deed is done, and then discuss the merit and reward together! Hearing this, Zhang Ping applauded again and again and said.

"Envoy Qi, the Hu people in the Hetao area of the Northland, I have been in contact with several tribal chiefs in a small way, especially those Hu people who are close to the Xuanjuan area, and they have already agreed to cooperate with us." The next to speak were messengers to the Loop and other places.

"I heard that the Lord of the Huns, Liu Yan, asked Daiguo to surrender a few years ago, this won't have any impact on our plans, right?" Zhang Ping listened, thought about it carefully, and asked.

The official positions of the Hu people are different from those of the Central Plains dynasties, and because of the different stages of development they are in, many official titles are actually very simple and vague.

For example, this so-called adult actually means the chief. As a Xiongnu lord, Liu Yantou is probably the co-master of the Xiongnu, at least on the surface.

The matter of Liu Yantou's demotion was a matter of February. Now that a few months have passed, the Hetao is actually not particularly far from Taiyuan County, so Zhang Ping naturally got the news early. He was worried that Liu Yantou would be frightened by this, and he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

"Rest assured, this matter is not just a matter of the Huns. Besides, although the Xiongnu were subordinate to the country, if they could go south to plunder the rich people, it would also be a good thing for them, how could they not agree! ”

"So much for the best! The Hu cavalry is fierce, if they go south, the Huashan army is afraid that they will resist with all their might! In this case, their forces will be pressed to the north, which will be of great benefit to us! The strategist interjected.

"Well, what you say is very much to my liking! Let others contain the strength of the Huashan Army, and we can just sit back and reap the benefits! When Zhang Ping heard this, his heart was even happier.

"However, the Hu people also have a little request, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be easily dispatched!" The messenger said with some embarrassment when he saw the two of them happy.

"What requirements?" Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"They said that if you want to send troops, you have to choose the autumn season of high horse fat, otherwise, the war horse will not be on the horse, and this combat power will not work!"

The so-called autumn season of high horse fat, it is September and October. At this time, the south is cooler, and the Hu people from the north are more able to adapt. After all, from June to August, it's too hot to travel, let alone fight.

However, one of the most important reasons is that the horse has to be a horse. Otherwise, half of the horse's advantage will be removed. In addition, the spring and summer seasons are the time of nomadism, and horses, cattle and sheep are giving birth.

If the army is mobilized at this time, once the horses, cattle and sheep are frightened, it will affect the breeding business. This is a very serious matter for nomads. After all, these things are equivalent to their net worth.

Therefore, in the past, every time the Hu people invaded the Central Plains in the south, they basically chose to do so in the autumn, even after hundreds of thousands of years.

When Wei Qinghuo went to attack the Huns, they seized such an opportunity to send troops to attack the Xiongnu in this breeding season. As a result, the cattle, sheep and horses of the Xiongnu tribes either flowed or died directly in the process of running and panicking.

The Xiongnu tribes, which suffered heavy losses, were really unable to support them later. In this way, it will be weakened by the Han Dynasty, and now, the former overlord of the grassland, the invincible Xiongnu, has become a vassal of the country.

"Well, autumn is only a few months away. As long as they are willing to send troops south, it doesn't hurt to be late, anyway, Li Xin and the Huashan army are dead! Just right, we can take this opportunity to prepare more! Hearing this, although Zhang Ping was unhappy, after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it didn't matter, so he said.

"The two routes of soldiers and horses have been decided, and now there is only one left on the Yan country's side!" The counsellor reminded him.

"By the way, what does Yan Guo say?" Yan Guonai is one of the forces that Zhang Ping wants to borrow the most, so he is particularly concerned at this time.

After the subordinates saw Murong Jun, they told about the alliance. Murong Jun seemed to be very interested, but now they are sending troops to attack Duan Gong in Qingzhou, and they are afraid that there will be no results in a short time. Therefore, Murong Jun wanted to wait until the matter in Qingzhou was over! In addition, they proposed that if Yan Guo wanted to attack Shangdang, could they use our Leping County to join Shangdang from Jingcheng to attack Yiyang County! The messenger saluted before replying.

Leping County is in the place where the well passes, and this well is one of the eight Taihang mountains. It is located in the west of Shijiazhuang later, at this time Shijiazhuang is called Changshan County Zhending County, Zhao Zilong is a native of this place.

If you pass through the Taihang Mountain from here, you will enter the east of Taiyuan County and the northeast of Shangdang County. If you go south from there, you will have to pass through Yiyang County to enter the land of Shangdang.

"By Leping County? No, if he doesn't attack Yiyang, but turns his head and robs our Leping County directly, wouldn't it be a big loss? At that time, our Taiyuan County and other counties will be under the threat of the Yan Army! If it takes advantage of the fierce battle between us and the Huashan Army to suddenly attack Taiyuan County in the west, we are afraid that we will be attacked on both sides! So that you must not agree to this! Before Zhang Ping could speak, the strategist exclaimed first.

"Makes sense! Well, you go to Yan Country again and talk about this matter in detail! They must be made aware that it is up to them to decide whether to form an alliance or not, but not by the way. Anyway, whether they want to go to the party or not is up to them, it has nothing to do with us! "Zhang Ping has always only thought about taking benefits from others, how can he allow others to scrape the ground on himself! So, categorically refused.

"Yes, after the subordinates see Murong Jun, they must present the envoy's intentions in detail." The messenger hurriedly said.

"Hmmm! You should handle this matter quickly! If Yan Guo also agrees, it is okay to be with them for a few more months, just waiting for the Xiongnu! Zhang Ping nodded and admonished.

When Zhang Ping heard the news from all sides, he only felt that the big thing had been decided, and when he thought that he would be able to enter the main gate soon, the feeling in his heart was naturally self-evident.

But to say that people are not as good as heaven, many times, some sudden events will disrupt the previous arrangement.

In June, a major incident occurred in Yan State, which made Zhang Ping a little worried about the alliance between himself and Yan State. Because Murong Ye, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, died.

The death of the crown prince was only a major event in the past before the death of the emperor. As a result, many things in the Yan Kingdom have been affected, after all, there are many taboos at this time.

For example, if the emperor dies, there are so many rules, although the prince is much worse, but at least he will not easily use swords during this period. Especially for Murong Jun, who lost his beloved son, where does he have time to care about alliances and non-alliances at this time.

Compared with Zhang Ping's hidden worries, Li Xin and the others who heard the news couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After all, now that his side is stepping up its war preparations, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to his side!

Although it is impossible to drag on forever, it is a day to be able to drag it out for a day! At the very least, there should be no problems throughout June. Taking advantage of this time, Li Xin had already dispatched troops and sent troops, and roughly arranged the soldiers and horses everywhere.

And after the efforts of the staff department and some losses, Li Xin and the others finally got the general information of the whole matter, and knew that the time for Zhang Ping to act might be in the autumn.

In this way, the time is much more relaxed, and the Huashan Army also has enough time to prepare.

But no matter how much time drags on, it still passes quickly. Gradually, September came, and Murong Ke's troops surrounded Guanggu City, and finally achieved results.

As a result, Yan Guo, who had freed up his hands, finally began to think about forming an alliance. At this time, the actions of Zhang Ping and other parties were finally no longer hidden!

The entire north of the Yellow River, especially under the rule of the Huashan Army, as long as the people who are more clever, seem to feel an unusual atmosphere. The feeling of depression when the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings is much stronger than the two wars a year ago.

"General, the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom are being mobilized! Not long after, presumably Murong Jun will officially arrange for the generals to attack the party! In addition, on the Qingzhou side, Duan Niche is already about to be unable to support it! Although Jiang Zuo sent Xuzhou Assassin Shi Xun Xian to lead the troops to ask for help, but after Xun Xian arrived in Langxi, he was afraid that the Yan army would be too strong to advance. He led his troops to attack Yangdu, but it happened to rain heavily for several days, and the city of Yangdu was soaked and damaged, and he captured it, and killed Wang Teng, who had surrendered to Yan before! "In the General's Mansion, Tu Qi is reporting the latest news.

This Wang Teng was one of the people who was appeased when Murong Ke was besieging Guanggu at the beginning, and he was originally an important minister under Duan Gong and was named the Duke of Yangdu. It seems that his fate is not good, he escaped Murong Ke's hands, and finally died in Xun Xian's hands.
