"It's not good, the Qiang King Beigong Boyu led 100,000 Qiang soldiers and horses, and half of Liangzhou in the north has been basically taken, and not long ago he killed Chen Yi, the guard of Jincheng, and occupied Jincheng. At this moment, Han Sui has been elected as the leader and sent troops to assist. On the side of the Han army, Huangfu Song led 40,000 troops to assist in quelling the chaos, but now he has fallen into a disadvantage. Said lightly.

Today's Liangzhou is not the Liangzhou a few years later. The current area of Liangzhou is also very vast, and Han Sui's strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was divided into ten states, of which Liangzhou was divided into two parts, the north is now the part north of Jincheng occupied by Han Sui, which became Liangzhou, and including Chang'an, auxiliary and other places, belonged to the school captain of the division and did not set up a separate state.

In the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luoyang, and the division was also sent to Luoyang, Henan, and Chang'anfu and other places were set up as Yongzhou, but it was canceled not long after it was used.

It was not until 194 A.D., after Dong Zhuo's death, that Li and Guo Yan hijacked Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and occupied Chang'an, and then Yongzhou was re-established.

"So that means that the Qiang tribe can't threaten Hanzhong in a short time?" Zhou Fan asked.

"At present, yes, but it also depends on how long Huangfu Song can hold out, if the auxiliary land is taken by the Qiang people, then it is very likely that it will be our turn in Hanzhong next." Cheng Yu said.

Zhou Fan nodded, with the ability of that Huangfu Song, although it is not easy to repel the Qiang tribe, it is no problem to resist for four or five months, which means that at least in four or five months, this Hanzhong will not be threatened, unless that Han Sui has a brain pump. While provoking Huangfu Song, he also dared to come to him for trouble.

"Jan, what do you think?" Zhou Fan turned his head and glanced at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye also knew that Zhou Fan wanted to test his talent. Although he is a member of the Han family, he has never thought of relying on this identity to eat. If you don't have any skills, you don't dare to come to Zhou Fan's side to recommend yourself.

"Although the Qiang people will not be able to threaten Hanzhong in a short period of time, they should still take precautions in advance. Between Chang'an and Hanzhong, there is Xiongguan Yangping Pass, the lord can first send heavy troops to garrison here, one can prevent the Qiang sneak attack, the other can also wait and see Chang'an, when the time comes, it is to defend or attack, the lord can be on his own! Liu Ye said.

Zhou Fan's eyes lit up. He turned his head and glanced at this Liu Ye, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What Liu Ye said really won his heart. To put it simply, what he said was fishing in troubled waters.

To be honest, if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to confront the Qiang people, because it was not a good thing to lose troops because of some senseless things.

After all, although Zhou Fan now has 25,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are infantry, and his own cavalry and things like Mo Dao have not been completed at all. Against the Qiang iron cavalry, it is inevitable that you will fall into disadvantage.

But if the Qiang people come to the door by themselves, then there is no way. At this time, if you don't fight, you can only fight, if you don't give them a little color, it will really make those foreigners think that Zhou Fan is afraid of him.

Losses are certain, but not necessarily not a bad thing. Zhou Fan's soldiers and horses, except for the original 5,000 veterans, are all recruits, and few people have experienced the battle on the battlefield. That's a good idea.

What's more, Zhou Fan was very jealous of those Qiang horses, and he worked hard and spent a lot of money to get 5,000 horses from Gongsun Zhan. And the 100,000 Qiang tribe has at least 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry. As long as you can get 10,000 or 20,000 horses, then it will be developed, although the war burns money, but the war wealth is made, it is also very powerful.

"Jan has a point." Zhou Fan nodded and glanced at Zhang He: "Long, Ou Xing listens to orders." ”

"The last general!" , Ling Cao, and the district star people stood up at the same time.

"Now I order you to lead 5,000 troops, and you can go to Yangping Pass to station and closely monitor every move of the Qiang people!" Zhou Fan said.

Now Zhou Fan is also full of talents, Zhang He, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Ling Cao, Zhou Cang, Ou Xing, Zhou Feng, Dian Wei, etc., each can be independent.

But if you really want to talk about it, among all of them, the only ones who are most suitable to lead the troops alone are Zhang He, Wei Yan and Zhang Renren.

Needless to say, Zhang He's ability to lead troops is needless to say, but as a lieutenant of Nanzheng, plus he still needs to train cavalry, Nanzheng is really inseparable from him for a while.

That Zhang Ren was able to become the governor of Xichuan in history, which is enough to explain everything, and there is absolutely no ability to say. However, if Zhou Fan wants to choose, he will naturally choose Wei Yan without saying a word.

In history, Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong alone and resisted Cao Wei for more than ten years, is there anyone present who is more suitable to guard Yangping than him?

As for the others, although Gan Ning is not bad, but in the end, he has just joined Zhou Fan's command, and his prestige is insufficient, and now this Gan Ning's personality is also a little arrogant, he is indeed not suitable for this important responsibility, he is more suitable to be a pioneer.

Ling Cao was the same, so Zhou Fan asked him to go with him and hone his temper well.

As for the other Zhou Cang, Zhou Feng and others, they are not good at commanding troops, so naturally they can't take on this heavy responsibility. However, that district star is a wise person, and letting him follow Wei Yan can be regarded as one more joining the army, who can give him advice from time to time.

Originally, Zhou Fan planned to let him Liu Ye join the army and go to Yangping Pass with Wei Yan, but when he thought about the catapult in the next year, Zhou Fan would forget it.

"No!" The person answered, took Zhou Fan's seal, turned around and left the hall.

"Gansu, what I asked you to build, how is it now?" Zhou Fan turned his head and glanced at the casting master Gan Su.

"Lord Qiqi, the five thousand stirrups and others have been completed, and the rest of the heavy armor has a thousand sets, and the Mo Dao has almost been studied, and it won't be long before it will be born!" Gan Su hurriedly responded.

"Good!" Zhou Fan exclaimed loudly: "Junyi, I will send the remaining horses back to the barracks tomorrow, plus this stirrup, I want you to train a cavalry that can go to the battlefield as quickly as possible!" ”

Zhou Fan has been away from Nanzheng for more than two months, and the horses in the horse have already been completed, except for the healthy horse that has not yet been strengthened into a BMW, and the training of the cavalry is officially on the right track.

"The last general obeys!" Zhang He responded. (To be continued)
