The matter of "the Wei army's grain and grass was attacked" was of course Zhao Hongrun's instruction to Zhu Hai, the general of Chenggaoguan, after all, it was like Sima An's Dangshan army that slaughtered the Yinrong tribe for no reason a while ago, which would cause some bad public opinion.

Therefore, in order to use troops against the Qiang and Qiang people in the Gong and Yu areas, it is necessary to "make a famous division" and occupy the name of "great righteousness".

After all, at the moment, the people of Gong and Luo were the first to attack the Chenggao army, which gave the Wei side the moral upper hand.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is just a trick to induce the other party to strike first, and once those Sanchuan tribes really dare to use force against the Wei State, then the Wei State will also raise their fists with peace of mind and beat the other party violently.

Zhao Hongrun thinks so.

But then again, the Chenggao army was attacked, and the 300 grain trucks escorting the "grain and grass" were taken away, which made Zhu Hai, the general of Chenggao Pass, also have to face up to this matter.

On 8 August, Chenggaoguan officially used troops against Sanchuan.

On the one hand, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, sent people to report the matter to Daliang, and on the other hand, he followed the dispatch of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and sent 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and the soldiers pointed directly at "Gong", the ancient city of Wei.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun led 20,000 merchant troops and more than 12,000 Dangshan troops (not counting the unofficial sergeants), set off from the east side of Yaling, and marched towards the ancient city of "Yu", which was also the early days of the founding of the Wei State.

"Within two days, take the king for this king!"

Before leaving, Zhao Hongrun gave a death order to the Shangshui Army and the Dangshan Army.

There is no way, after all, the more than 200,000 troops of the Qianjiao tribe have approached the area of Gong and Yu, if they fail to take the city before the arrival of this army of the Qianjiao people, the situation of the Wei army will become quite difficult.

As for Zhao Hongrun's death order, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, gladly accepted the order, and actually personally led the cavalry battalion of the Dangshan Army, and together with the two generals Ji Yan and Le Qi, launched a rapid attack on the troops of the Dangshan and Qiang tribes in the area of Yudi.

Yes, it is only limited to the armies of the two clans, which is Zhao Hongrun's "restriction" to Sima An.

After all, the general's xenophobia was too strong, especially in the face of the Sanchuan tribe in the land that had made a betrayal move, Zhao Hongrun was afraid that he would slaughter again regardless of the old and the young.

As for how to distinguish between the army and civilians, Zhao Hongrun's explanation is very simple: the people of Sanchuan who are armed with weapons will be killed if they do not surrender!

The cavalry of the Dangshan Army broke away from their own team with a roar.

The two infantry battalions of the Dangshan Army, the "Zhanke Battalion" and the "Assault Battalion", were led by the generals Wen Xu and Bai Fangming, as the auxiliary protection army, and the merchant navy slowly headed for the convoy carrying terrible war weapons.

I have to say that since seeing this batch of new repeater crossbows developed by the Smelting Bureau in Yaling Gorge, the Dangshan Army's evaluation of the Shangshui Army has skyrocketed, of course, this is also related to the Shangshui Army's ambush of the advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe and the cooperation with their Dangshan Army.

In short, after the Battle of Yaling Gorge, the attitude of the Dangshan army towards the Shangshui army was obviously much kinder, which may be related to the attitude of their general Sima An.

After all, under the gradual inducement of Zhao Hongrun, Sima An gradually began to accept people like Wuwu and Una, and gradually stopped being prejudiced against the Shang Shui Army from the Chu people, after all, the two did give him a lot of help to the Dangshan Army.

It seems that the more than 30,000 people under the command of Zhao Hongrun suddenly changed the direction of retreat and came towards the land, which also aroused the vigilance of the people and tribes in the area.

No, the tribal patriarchs who had just held a meeting of the patriarchs a few days ago gathered together again to discuss the intention of this Wei army.

"Did Wei Jun notice something?"

"Do you mean that those Wei people have learned that we have taken refuge in the Qianjiao tribe? This...... How can it be? ”

The tribal patriarchs looked at each other.

You must know that they negotiated and reached the decision to assist the Qianjiao tribe and drive the Wei people out of Sanchuan, which was only two or three days ago.

This time was only enough for them to gather the tribal warriors of their tribe and set up camp defense lines at the passes along the Gong and Ru areas, and there was no time to attack the rear of the Dangshan Army and the Shangshui Army as planned, how could these two Wei armies know?

They couldn't figure it out.

Because they undercalculated one possibility, that is, the Wei people did not become aware of this after they decided to help the Qiangjiao tribe, but the Wei people had been waiting, waiting for this possible change.

"Could it be that those Wei people just want our help?"

The patriarch of a Qiang tribe guessed with a fluke mentality.

At this moment, a member of their clan suddenly broke into outside the felt tent and said to them: "Tan Dan, the leader of the 'Lun' tribe, has just sent someone to deliver the news that they have repelled a grain transport team from Chenggao Pass at the hill pass on the south side of Gongdi, but found that the grain cart was not carrying grain at all, but the chaff used by the Wei people to feed the horses. …… The leader of Chen Dan reminded the patriarchs that we have been fooled, and the Wei people have somehow learned the news that our party has defected to the Qianjiao tribe, and in a short time, most of them will even send troops to Chenggao Pass of Wei to crusade against us. ”

The patriarch of the Lun clan was dumbfounded when he heard this, after all, the middle-aged man named Tan Dan was the leader of his tribe, and he also ordered him to be stationed in that pass, how could he not know.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the felt tent, because the patriarchs present gradually began to realize what was the reason why the "hidden" on the east side of the Raven Ridge suddenly came towards them.

Wei people...... The Wei people are coming! ”

"Didn't the Qianjiao tribe send more than 5,000 tribal knights to pursue the Wei army? What about those people? ”

Looking at the chaotic scene in the felt tent, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgohe, shook his head and said to the tribal chiefs present in a tone of advice: "Everyone, haven't you seen it yet? That Wei army...... It's not because they saw the strength of the army of the Qiangjiao tribe and retreated, this is a trick in the art of war respected by the Central Plains country, "show the enemy to be weak and arrogant in their military hearts", they are deliberately pretending to be weak, the purpose is to lure you to make the decision to join the Qiangjiao tribe! ”

After that, he snorted lightly and sneered: "Once the Wei army really shows its fangs, do you think that the knights of the more than 5,000 Qiangjiao tribes alone can stop those Wei troops?" I can't say, those 5,000 people have already been buried in Yaling Gorge! ”

"Halegoch!" Hearing this, the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, angrily reprimanded: "You are also a member of the Qi tribe, why do you want to increase the prestige of the Wei people and destroy the morale of our people? ”

Halgoh glanced at Rabitu coldly, and then said to the tribal patriarchs present: "I just hope that the patriarchs will make a decision calmly, and it is not too late to let the warriors lay down their weapons, open the gates of the city, and let the Wei army enter......"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabittu: "What? Drop your weapon? Let the Wei army enter the city? Do you want us to stretch our heads and necks in front of the Wei army and ask them to cut off our heads? ”

"The Wei army will not kill us." "During the hunt, they helped my Aries tribe to repel the horse thieves, and their goal was to provoke their Horn tribe again and again. ”

"How can you guarantee it? Did you have an affair with Wei? Rabbi asked.

Halgoh was speechless, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't. I just hope that you will make a calm choice and not provoke the powerful Wei State...... The people of Wei are more than our people of the three tribes combined, and there are many more people......"

"But their army is not as brave as our warriors!" The patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, interrupted Halgoh again, and said to the patriarchs present with an excited face: "Everyone, that Wei tribe is less than 40,000 people, and on our side, there are no less than 30,000 warriors in this land alone, not to mention, our friend, the Qianjiao tribe is leading up to a million warriors to aid us, we will definitely be able to defeat the Wei people and drive the Wei people back to Chenggao Pass!" …… This is the land of our Sanchuan people, and we are the masters here! We can decide the life and death of those Wei people! ”

The tribal chiefs present looked at each other for a long time, and one of the patriarchs of the Qiang tribe asked Rabitu, "What ......is that?" Now are we going to fight the Wei army? ”

"Hit! Why not fight? I saw that the patriarch of the Black Sheep Tribe, Labitu, licked his lips and said with a sneer: "We have the millions of warriors of the Qiangjiao tribe as the backing, what are you afraid of the Wei army?" ”

It may be that hearing the word "million warriors", the tribal chiefs present gradually seemed a little nervous, after all, Rabitu's words spoke to their hearts.

Seeing this, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgohe, shook his head in disappointment, and after glancing at the patriarch of the 'Meng' tribe and the other two patriarchs who had the same position, he stood up and said, "Since you patriarchs insist on fighting with the Wei army, forgive us for not being able to accompany our four tribes, we have discussed it privately, and from now on, our four tribes will move out of the land. ”

As he spoke, the patriarch of the "Meng" tribe of the Qi tribe and the other three patriarchs also stood up and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the patriarch of the Black Sheep Tribe, Rabittu, had a cold look in his eyes, and snorted unceremoniously: "At the moment of the great enemy, do you want to retreat?" ”

"It's not that I am backing down, I just don't want to make a senseless war, and I don't want the young people of the tribe to die in vain."

Rabitu, the patriarch of the Black Sheep Tribe, glanced at the patriarchs present, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, you four tribes can move out of the land, but in order to prevent you from fornicating with the Wei people, please trouble the four patriarchs to stay here as hostages. …… Rest assured, when we defeat the Wei army, the four will be free, and when the time comes, we will not stop the four of them from moving their tribe wherever they want to. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the tribal warriors in the felt tent to tie up the four chiefs including Halgoh with ropes.

Halegoh and the others did not resist, and stopped the tribe from trying to rescue their people, and then, Halegoh said to the tribal patriarchs present in a serious tone: "I hope you can win the Wei army, otherwise you will ......."

With that, he sighed and let the tribal warriors take them to their place of captivity.

On the same day, Yin Rong gathered an army and prepared to fight against the Wei army. (To be continued.) )
