The document was bound on the finest rice paper and copied by the Shangshulang of Lantai.

There are not only the contents of Zheng Ji and Chang Hui's reports and reports, but also the many talks, deployments, and preparations between Liu Xun and Prime Minister Cheng and others.

It can be seen that this time, the high-level of the Han family has already solved the heart of Xiqiang, Yueshi, and Xiongnu, and at the national level, they have been fully prepared!

Not only Dasi Nong transferred grain, grass and ordnance from the Chang'an arsenal and Wannian arsenal half a month in advance, as early as a month ago, the cavalry of Longyou had already passed through the middle road and went to the border wall of Lingju to report to Chang Hui.

In addition, the Taifu Yamen urgently transferred 5,000 war horses, more than 3,000 pack horses, and horses, as well as supporting riding equipment, including horseshoes, stirrups, saddles, and specially developed horn bows for riding.

Twenty days ago, the Prime Minister's Office, together with the Shaofu and the Sanfu Yousi, sent thousands of convicts and criminals to Guyuan in the north, and let them serve as laborers to maintain and repair the middle road, and also transferred thousands of Maoling workers from the Shaofu as the main force in the road repair and maintenance project.

The point is not that these things are — the real surprise is that the vast majority of people have heard and learned about these actions of the State for the first time before today.

Liu Xun, the prime minister and the relevant official offices have achieved absolute secrecy during this period!

Even the two thousand stones of Chang'an and the liehou don't know that the Han family has already sharpened their knives and is fully prepared for war, can the Huns, Xiqiang, and Yueshi people know?

Just thinking of this, countless courtiers took a reassuring pill.

Prime Minister Huo Guang and others raised their heads proudly, their faces full of pride.

Because, long before the intelligence report from the Hexi side came back, they were already preparing for this war.

Materials, personnel, and resources have all been done.

As soon as Liu Xun ordered, the Prime Minister's Mansion was already fully operational.

Thousands of officials worked day and night to transport countless grains, grass, ordnance, armor, and money to the front line, and did a good job of arranging, escorting, dredging roads, and repairing along the way.

The high-ranking officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion went directly down to the local counties and counties, and even entered the township pavilion, and personally took command and commanded in person.

Huo Guang's cronies and confidants directly intervened in the relevant Jiuqing Yousi Mansion to urge.

In this matter, Huo Guang fully demonstrated his skills and abilities.

With the help of his grassroots experience, he took into account all aspects, even Liu Xun praised him for this matter, and rewarded him with gold and 100 gold, as a commendation.

It is conceivable that after Chang Hui wins, his status as a prime minister will also rise!

However, at this time, Huo Guang heard a voice that made him very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word...... "The overlord general who was sitting in his seat and looking at the pamphlet suddenly got up: "It's just that the minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Huo Guang secretly scolded himself in his heart, but he had to pretend to be modest on his face, looking at each other with a smile.

When Liu Xun heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay to say it!" ”

Liu De took the booklet and said in the first play: "The ministers and the generals are resolute, and the first is to play: the deployment of the second division of the ministers is to pretend to be the main force of the Han army, go to Juyan to aid Lingju, and induce the main force of the Huns to enter Luntai in the east, and then the main force of our army quickly went out of the fortress, cooperated with the defenders of Luntai, plugged Luntai, and annihilated its main force!" ”

"General Chang Hui's deployment and strategy are excellent ......"

This tactic of luring the enemy deep and then encircling and annihilating has been used by countless famous generals since ancient times, and the effect is very good.

It is also the best tactic against the Huns.

But here's the problem......

Liu De raised his head, looked at Liu Xun, and then looked at the confident ministers.

In his heart, Liu De felt very uneasy.

Because......

From ancient times to the present, until later generations, Liu De has never heard of anyone who can win two wars at the same time!

Even Maozi, who is simple and rude, and vigorously produces miracles, or Midi, who is known as the beacon of mankind and the star of science and technology, can't!

Although the Xiongnu are weak, Xiqiang and Yueshi are scum.

But the lion and the rabbit still have to do their best.

Not to mention such a militaristic event?

Is Chang Hui too anxious?

Of course, Liu De didn't dare to say this directly.

Considering his identity, in order to avoid conflicts at such a critical moment, Liu De had to choose his words as carefully as possible.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The minister's problem is: the minister heard that the current Hexi is to lure the enemy, and he personally guards the main force of the Chinese army in Lingju in order to prepare for the Qiang Hu attack...... So, the wheel platform...... Will there be a situation where the dragons have no leader and go their own way? ”

As soon as Prime Minister Huo Guang heard this question, he immediately laughed and replied softly: "The overlord general is too worried!" General Chang Hui, who has commanded the army for more than ten years, has long known the pros and cons, so he only led a light cavalry this time, stationed in Juyan, and left the main force of the Chinese army between the east of Juyan and the west of Jiuquan on standby......"

"In addition, the Gaoque Army, the Wuyuan Army, the Shuofang Army, the Longyou Army and other reinforcements who were ordered to rush to the aid of Hexi will also be on standby in Zhangye and can rush to the front line at any time!"

"Now ......" Speaking of this, Huo Guang raised his head proudly, complacent: "In the Hexi region, my dynasty has gathered at least 50,000 cavalry, 40,000 foot soldiers, and tens of thousands of militiamen and righteous followers!" ”

"Whether it is the Qianghu or the Huns, as long as they dare to approach the side wall, they will be beaten by the king!"

After Huo Guang finished speaking, he raised his head proudly and looked at Liu De.

And the other generals and nobles present were also full of confidence, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with this deployment?

They can indeed be so confident!

Because, the facts of the past few decades have shown that no matter who it is, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han army and sneaking in the cold, they may be able to take advantage of some advantages.

However, after the Han army was fully prepared and gathered heavy troops, no one could please in front of the elite of the Great Han Dynasty's division!

Since the Yuan Ding, the Han army has not lost a battle of more than 1,000 people within 500 miles of the side wall!

No matter what the enemy is, in front of the Han army, it is like a clay sculpture, vulnerable!

Liu De listened to Huo Guang's words, and then looked at everyone, he knew that if he was entangled in this issue now, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Moreover, even if you win, it is useless! It will only attract darkness and hatred!

Moreover, Liu De only felt uneasy, and there was no actual evidence or data to support him.

Therefore, he could only pray for Chang Hui's good luck, smiled at Huo Guang silently, and stopped talking.

It was Liu Xun, who looked at Liu De thoughtfully, suddenly pursed his lips, and then turned his head to Zhang Anshi, who had been standing beside him, and whispered: "After the meeting is dismissed, let the overlord general stay alone!" ”

"No!" Zhang Anshi was stunned at first, and then nodded immediately.

……………………………………………………

Outside the city, in the wilderness, more and more Qiang people gathered.

The chieftains of the major Qiang races also rushed here.

They climbed the hill and looked out at the Han Dynasty side wall that stretched from Lingjusai to the end.

Everyone had red eyes and swallowed desperately.

For the Qiang people, behind the wall is all their hope.

Warm mountains, babbling rivers, corn and livestock on the plateau.

Especially the latter!

"The descendants of the Wuge Sword!" Under the Great Banner of the Qiang Seal, a man with braided hair, a hideous face, a huge copper ring on his nose, and a bronze weapon on his back, rode on a horse and shouted: "The great tiger god will watch over us!" ”

So, he tore off his sheepskin jacket, revealing the tiger head tattoo on his chest.

This immediately sparked the shouts of countless Wuge (the lower class of the Qiang people, generally a name for slaves): "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Son of the Great Tiger!"

The wild shouts of thousands, or even tens of thousands, immediately stirred up the storm and attracted countless attention.

In particular, the hostility of Xian Lingqiang, who has a deep hatred and blood hatred with the feudal Qiang.

"These kittens, lowly and unscrupulous, what are they howling?" Meng Meng, one of the Hao chieftains of Xian Lingqiang, scolded and scolded the knife in his hand, and was furious: "The fire will burn these lowly Wuge!" ”

Fen Qiang and Xian Lingqiang have been feuding for hundreds of years.

They have a blood feud with each other.

Menghu's father and grandfather all died in the war with the feudal Qiang!

He himself was treated as Wuge by the Qiang for several years, until his uncle led an army to rescue him from the cottage where he was raised.

In the years when he was a Qiang, Menghu had his nose cut off and his cheek cut.

Make him ugly!

But it was this abuse that made him extremely tyrannical when he grew up.

The Qiang people are different from the Xiongnu.

Not only because of the differences in social models, lifestyles, and customs, but also because of the completely different social systems and class compositions.

The Qiang people, except for the legendary ancestor Wuge sword, who was blessed by the god of tigers and flames, has never been able to unify all the Qiang tribes.

Even within the various interiors, there has never been unity and unity.

Within each Qiang species, there are several or a dozen chieftains.

There was an endless fight between each other, and the sky was dark.

The only thing that could unite them was the invasion of foreign enemies, especially the other Qiang races.

Or like now, multiple Qiang races, resolve their revenge and form an alliance, and jointly launch a large-scale waaal with the outside world.

But, even if it is to resolve the revenge into an alliance.

Among all kinds, they may not really let go of the past hatred.

Especially at this moment, the cheers and celebrations of the Wuge who sealed the Qiang aroused the deep anger of almost all the Hao chiefs who had been in the Qiang before!

Not only Menghu, but almost all the Hao chieftains who were first zero-Qiang are like flammable and explosive volcanoes at this moment, and they may only need a little stimulation to lead their army to tear apart their mortal enemies!

No way!

Heresies are always more hateful than heretics!

The first zero Qiang and the feudal Qiang, as the big species among the Qiang people.

Its hatred begins with religion, but it is higher than religion!

Xian Lingqiang believes in the god of fire who sheltered the ancestor Wuge Sword at the beginning, and believes that only those who burn and do not die are the true heirs of Wuge Sword.

The feudal Qiang were different, believing in the legendary Tiger that sheltered the Wuge Sword to escape the pursuers and escort it to Huangshui.

The first thing that every Hao chief who wants to take the throne is to go to the deep mountains, alone, hunt a fierce tiger, and skin its tiger back to be recognized!

The difference in beliefs has led to a fight to the death and hatred that has lasted for hundreds of years!

Between the two populations, the amount of blood shed is incalculable.

Fortunately, now, it's not just the feudal Qiang and the first Lingqiang here.

There is also a prison sister Qiang who doesn't believe in tigers and fires at all.

Sister Qiang believes in the wife of Wu Ge Jian, the girl who followed her to the Huangzhong.

This has something to do with the social structure of the prison sisters Qiang - they are still a matriarchal society, where women are respected and all the chiefs are women.

In the past history, the feudal Qiang, the first Lingqiang, and the prison sister Qiang fought with each other and balanced each other.

The most peaceful time for them is when all three are present at the same time.

It was precisely because of the people who were worried about the prison sister Qiang that Meng Hu reluctantly suppressed his anger.

At this time, one of his relatives walked up to him, knelt down and said, "Menghu sword, Yue's pigeon power sword is here!" ”

"Pigeon power? What did he come to do? Meng Hu thought for a moment and said, "Let him come!" ”

In a moment, a man wearing a sheepskin jacket and a small felt hat traditional of the Yue clan came to Meng Hu, stroked his chest slightly with the etiquette of the Yue clan and said, "Pigeon Power has seen a sword!" ”

Meng Hu snorted angrily twice, he didn't have a good attitude towards this Yue clan.

The latter didn't mind either.

Instead, he unceremoniously sat down in front of Menghu, picked up the goat's milk wine on the table and drank it.

The Qiang people and the Yueshi people, in the middle of the river, have loved and killed each other for more than 20 years.

Naturally, there will inevitably be some blending, or even fusion.

It's just that in the past, these things were overshadowed by the powerful civilization and attraction of the Han Dynasty.

Until now, the things that were once covered up, at the instigation of careerists, these things suddenly came out!

Because, this opportunity is too rare for the Yueshi people!

This time, the linkage with the Qiang people and the Huns to conspire with the Han Dynasty seems to be dangerous, but in fact, the nobles of the Yue clan have a number in their hearts!

For them, the purpose and goal of this time is not the Han Dynasty at all!

It's the Qiang people!

With the help of strength, let the Han Dynasty weaken the Qiang people, and then, take the opportunity to annex this ethnic group with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions.

As for the revenge of the Han Dynasty, they did not take it to heart.

Because, as long as it succeeds, Hexi of the Han Dynasty will be a mess, and at that time, the Han people may not have time to take care of them.

By the time the Han Dynasty freed their hands, they had already completed their business.

At that time, it is a big deal to give in, hand over a few scapegoats, and then pay tribute to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty people will probably pinch their noses and admit the existence of the Yue Clan.

Even if they fail, they have a way back, so they won't be wiped out!

It's a big deal, just hand over a group of people who are on the bright side.

A smart person like Pigeon Power is, of course, hiding behind his back and doing things secretly.

Of course, these things, the Yueshi people will not tell the Qiang people, or even their own people.

Only the dozen or so nobles at the core know and understand.

Just like this time, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear the Qiang people's grinding and slowly swallowing behavior, the pigeon power would not have come here at all.

He would only hide in the tribe of Hehuang and let his men tie himself to the vault

disguised as being under house arrest and hijacking.

In this way, once he fails, he can change from a criminal to a meritorious hero.

"Sword!" Pigeon Li put down the goat milk wine jug in his hand, got up and said: "I came here to tell you that with all the swords: you must immediately attack the border wall of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Otherwise, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty will gather more and more, and our grain and grass will not be enough!"

Menghu smiled when he heard this, and said, "What do you know? ”

"Just go to the side wall of the Han Dynasty? I'm afraid that even if we die, we won't be able to shake it! ”

As he said these words, Menghu couldn't help but look into the distance, Lingjusai, which was surrounded by the Jianhe River.

This fortress did not exist at the time of the Qiang Rebellion more than 20 years ago.

At that time, the Han people had just entered Hexi, and they couldn't figure out the geography at all, nor did they know the depth.

Moreover, they only have the Huns in their eyes.

Therefore, on the west side of the river, south of the Qilian Mountains, they did not fortify at all.

At that time, the core of the Han Dynasty's defense was mainly based on the current Zhangye County, and no complete defense system was established.

But after the Qiang Rebellion, the Han Dynasty began to build a large-scale fortress.

The first side wall to be built is the side wall in front of you that starts from Lingju, passes through Rouge Mountain and Gaolan Mountain, reaches Jiuquan, extends from northwest to southeast, and protects the entire southern foot of Qilian Mountain.

Moreover, Menghu knows how the Han people built this side wall!

They were the pioneers who made the Qiang prisoners of war, along the direction of the mountains and rivers, digging a trench on the east and west sides, and then in the center of the trench, rammed earth version to build a wall, with a layer of sand, a layer of sand willow, a layer of stone, and constantly build up.

This method of building walls is very fast.

Usually, a few hundred people can build a small beacon and a side wall extending to another beacon in a month.

The disadvantage is that the beacon and wall built in this way are very afraid of the erosion of wind and sand, and must be maintained and repaired every three or five years.

Otherwise, the wall structure can easily collapse.

You have to ask how did Monhu know this?

Of course, there were many Qiang people in the past, for various reasons, who were bought by merchants in the Han Dynasty to repair walls.

Some of them were released back to Xihai after helping the Han people repair the walls, and brought back many enviable treasures, and even learned a lot of skills and became celebrities in the cottage.

Over time, some Qiang cottages will even take the initiative to contact the Han people and send people to help repair the wall in exchange for some returns.

For example, grain, cloth, salt, bronze, etc.

So, basically, the Qiang people are very familiar with this side wall.

Because he is familiar, he knows that it is powerful.

Especially this makes Guyse!

I'm afraid that just by gnawing the periphery, I don't know how many people will die!

As for the main body of its fortress?

As long as the Han people have sufficient troops, even if the Qiang people are all dead, I am afraid they will not be able to shake it.

This fact was already well known to all the Hao chiefs before they sent out the troops.

Pigeon Li was anxious, frowned, and said, "Wait?" Wait a few more days, and the cavalry of Beidi County and Longyou County of the Han Dynasty will probably arrive! ”

Meng Hu listened, smiled, and said, "They come to theirs, we beat ours!" ”

"If you can't wait, you can take the Yue's cavalry to fight by yourself!"

When Pigeon Li heard this, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, he stretched out his hand, pointed at Menghu, and said angrily: "You don't talk about trust! ”

"Hahahahaha...... Menghu looked up to the sky and laughed: "We Qiang people have no credit at all!" ”

"As long as we can survive, we can even tear our oaths in front of the ancestral spirits and gods!"

The pigeon was speechless.

Now, he finally understands that he has been tricked, and all the nobles who hope that the Qiang people will take the lead, send them to death, and then take millet from the fire, have been tricked!

These damn Qiang chieftains, from the very beginning, were not really willing to form an alliance with the Yue Clan.

Just as the Yue Clan was using them, they were also using the careerists of the Yue Clan's various departments to pry open the originally strong Hehuang defense line.

Now, they had crossed the Huangshui River and arrived in this rich Hehuang region, and with the support or at least acquiescence of the Yue clan's tribes, they came to the border wall of the Han Dynasty.

So, the situation was completely reversed.

The host and the guest are reversed.

Now, the people who are on fire are no longer the Qiang people who lack food and clothing on the plateau of the West Sea and cannot survive.

Rather, they were entrusted with important tasks by the Han Dynasty and regarded as the various departments of the Yue clan as guardians!

The reason is very simple - the Qiang people have now walked down from the cold and barren Xihai Plateau, and have successfully entered the rich and comfortable Hehuang region.

Here, water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and resources are abundant.

As long as the Yueshi people are driven away, they can occupy the magpie's nest.

In the past, the Qiang people naturally did not have this ability, nor did they have this possibility.

Because, everyone knows that the tribes of the Hehuangyue clan are subject countries that have their names in the Han Dynasty's father.

Moreover, this title was won by their ancestors, who threw their heads and spilled their blood, followed the hussar generals of the Han Dynasty, and shot them down with knives and guns.

Han Liu Xun (Emperor Xiaozhao Liu Xuanling) a few years ago reverted to the country of Houji Gugu, which is proof.

Therefore, in the past, whoever hit the river Huang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would protect the calf!

But now it's different.

In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the Yue tribes of Hehuang, except for a few people, are no different from the Qiang people.

Perhaps, the Qiang people were even cuter in the eyes of some Han Dynasty aristocrats.

At least, the Qiang people didn't eat inside and out.

Therefore, suppose the Qiang people now turn their guns and go to fight the Yue tribes and attack Hehuang.

Then, the army of the Han Dynasty behind the side wall will probably be seen as a dog eating a dog.

Maybe some people will cheer and applaud!

If the Qiang people can win the Yueshi, and then behave more well-behaved, take the initiative to show favor and surrender.

Perhaps, the Han Chinese will recognize them as the lords of the river.

Even to give canonization, to give fame.

It's not impossible!

And at that time, the Qiang people and the Yueshi people will be reversed.

At that time, the Qiang people may even step on the corpse of Yueshi, the two or five boys, and become a good baby in the eyes of the Han people, and the watchdog of Hehuang.

And the tribes of the Yue clan will be like the Qiang people in the past, after being slaughtered, they will be expelled to the cold and barren West Sea, and their children and grandchildren will always be able to curl up on the plateau, desperately trying to survive like rats, and slaughtering like lambs!

Just thinking of this, Pigeon Li's body began to tremble.

It's!

It's even more scared!
