Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 89 Anti-Hu (Big Chapter Ticket)
It's a big chapter, ask for a monthly pass! The following text:
Ma Chao has a great reputation among the Qiang people, but this reputation is mainly based on a murderous name. **-**Ma Chao followed Ma Teng to the battlefield at the age of twelve, led the troops alone at the age of fourteen, and when he was about twenty years old, his reputation had spread all over Liangzhou. Ma Chao's reputation is mainly obtained by killing horse thieves and Qiang people, Ma Chao's hands are stained with a lot of Qiang blood, and the Qiang people near Liangzhou are all afraid of Ma Chao's killing, so he calls Ma Chao "General Tian".
General Tian sounds like a complimentary title, and it also contains the Qiang people's reverence for Ma Chao, but more than that, he is still afraid. Therefore, if there is a chance to drive Ma Chao, the killing god, out of Liangzhou, the Qiang people will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
People and Qiang people are originally from the same origin, but compared with the Qiang people, the situation of people for many years has been much bleaker. People are good at farming, and when it comes to farming technology, people are no worse than the Han people. Therefore, in recent years, the Han princes often migrated their clansmen to their own territory to fill their strength and provide food for themselves. Zhang Lu did this, Cao Cao did this, and even Liu Bei once moved 30,000 people to Hanzhong to help Liu Bei farm the land.
Because people were not strong enough, they were forced to move around for many years as vassals of the Han Chinese. In recent years, in order to escape the war in the Central Plains, many clansmen have migrated to the west of Liangzhou to live.
However, because the clan is a farming nation and has a strong ability to recover itself, the clan has begun to slowly recover its vitality in recent years, and now the clan also has nearly 100,000 soldiers who can fight.
The Qiang and the clan have lived in Liangzhou for many years, and Ma Chao is also very familiar with their strength level, but the clan is different.
The Qiang people were originally slaves of the Huns, so they were also nomads. Strictly speaking, the clan is not a nation, it can only be regarded as a branch of the Huns, but compared with the yellow Huns, the clan has obvious Caucasian characteristics, and is closer to the Central Asian race.
Since being defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu have not reached such a strong period in the early Han Dynasty, and with the rise of Xianbei, Wuheng, Qiang and other ethnic groups, the Xiongnu gradually declined, and later when the Xiongnu split, these ethnic groups took advantage of the situation and became independent.
Compared with the Qiang and the clan, the clan can only be regarded as an outsider, so Ma Chao doesn't know anything about the clan, but he has just heard rumors before. However, because the clan was once a slave of the Huns, it was natural for Yima Chao to regard the Xiongnu as the Huns.
Liangzhou, Wuwei.
Since the emergence of the Qiang and the tribe. Ma Chao sent more than a dozen groups of scouts out every day. Find out what's new.
Ma Chao has lived in Liangzhou for a long time. Naturally, I also know how famous my own murder is in Liangzhou. But now the Qiang clan knows that they are in Liangzhou. He even dared to move. This shows that the Qiang and Qiang must have something to rely on behind them.
"Brother!" The sound of the horse came from outside, and then I saw the horse come to Ma Chao in three steps and two steps. He said, "Brother." The scouts who had gone deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people returned. ”
"What's the news?" Ma Chao hurriedly asked.
"Qiang King Cheriji has gathered an army of 150,000. With Yue Yoshi as the marshal. And the number is growing. Ma said.
"What about the clan?"
"The clan is all infantry, and they move more slowly, but now they have gathered 350,000 people." Ma continued.
"Smack!" Ma Chao hated the table case, and at this time, Ma Chao was not only angry in his heart, but also angry.
The 150,000 Qiang army and 350,000 horses, adding up to 200,000, but this is just a number in Ma Chao's opinion, even if all the Qiang people come, Ma Chao will not have the slightest fear. But this Qiang people know that Ma Chao is in Liangzhou, and they dare to assemble soldiers and horses with such fanfare, which is simply a humiliation for Ma Chao and a challenge to the authority of Ma Chao, the "Heavenly General", Ma Chao absolutely cannot tolerate it, these Qiang people challenge his authority.
"Humph! I haven't been in the cool in the past few years, and it looks like these guys have itchy skin! Ma Chao said, with a murderous look in his eyes: "Okay, you Cheriji dare to make trouble in front of me, you really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard gall!" ”
"Brother, let's send troops, let this Cherrigi know that we are powerful." The horse encouraged.
"Troops! Of course, troops! Ma Ke ordered, Ma Jiajun gathered! ”
……
Cherrigie became the king of Qiang after Ma Chao's defeat and fled to Hanzhong, although Cheriji has heard of Ma Chao's name for a long time, but he has not seen Ma Chao with his own eyes.
Some Qiang people who fought with Ma Chao often described how powerful and ferocious Ma Chao was. But Cherrigi hasn't seen it with his own eyes, so he hasn't been impressed. The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and today's Qiang people are much stronger than the Qiang people twenty years ago, which can be regarded as giving Cheriji some confidence, so there is a matter of gathering Qiang people to prepare for the passage today.
Ma Chao suppressed the Qiang people for many years, and also made the Qiang people afraid for many years. Now that Cao Shi has burned Xiao Guan and led Wuhu into Yong, this is a good opportunity for Doucheriji, a good opportunity for Ma Chao to repay his debts.
As long as he can defeat Ma Chao, Cherrigi will definitely establish supreme authority among the Qiang people, and at this time Cherrigi is full of ambition, imagining how to celebrate after defeating Ma Chao.
"Oh no, my lord!" Yueji's voice interrupted Cherrigiji's thoughts.
"What's so alarming?"
"King, Ma Chao is coming! And more than a dozen tribes have been broken along the way, and all tribes who resist slightly, regardless of men, women, old and young, have all been slaughtered! Even the baby was not spared. ”
"I didn't go to him, he dared to come to me!" Cheriji roared angrily: "Yueji, immediately reorganize the troops." ”
"King, that horse is super brave, I'm afraid ......"
"What are you afraid of! We Qiang people have been oppressed by this Ma Chao for too long, let Ma Chao pay back all the blood debts owed to us Qiang people today! ”
……
"General Heaven spares his life! General Heaven spares his life! A Qiang man knelt in front of Ma Chao, trembling and begging for mercy.
Behind Lao Suo, there were a group of people kneeling in the black, nearly 10,000 people, men, women and children, but there were few strong men. All the people knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.
This is the power of the word "Ma Chao", when Ma Chao attacked the Qiang land, he will beat his banner. When those old men of the Qiang tribe saw Ma Chao's banner, they immediately realized that Ma Chao, the god-killing general, was back!
There were several bold tribes who were intimidated by Ma Chao's reputation and dared to resist
was killed by Ma Chao, and no men, women, or children were left, and then the news spread all over the people, and people were even more frightened.
Because Cheriji gathered all the strong soldiers in the Qiang tribe and prepared to attack Yongzhou, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left among all the tribes in the Qiang land, and this group of old, weak, sick and disabled people naturally had no ability to resist Ma Chao.
In the face of these unarmed Qiang old and weak, Ma Chao did not do anything. At this moment, his scouts came to report that the Qiang army was coming in this direction, and the scouts also showed the royal banner of Cheriji.
"Cherrigi is here!" Ma Chao was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately abandoned this Qiang tribe that was only old and weak, and led the troops to run in the direction of Cheriji.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, and Ma Chao judged from experience that there were about more than 10,000 Qiang cavalry on the opposite side, and it seemed that this was the vanguard of the Qiang people.
"Humph!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, this Cherrigi also looked down on himself too much, and even dared to divide his troops and send more than 10,000 vanguard troops to send him to death, is it really impossible for me Ma Chao to pinch the mud?
Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but be angry, only to see Ma Chao dance with a spear and lead the army to rush forward.
Wherever Ma Chao passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and no one could sit on the horse safely. After a few years, the Qiang people saw this nightmare figure again.
The heavenly general Ma Chao is not in vain, and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under the command of Ma also makes the Qiang people frightened.
With the horse overtaking the lead, rushing left and right, no one could stop him, a few drops of cold sweat slipped from Yue Ji's head, at this time Yue Ji felt a trace of regret in his heart and a trace of incomprehension. Regret is regret that he dared to bring troops to fight Ma Chao, and he is puzzled because he doesn't understand what Cherrigi is guilty of and wants to provoke this killing god.
In the distance, Ma Chao also saw Yue.
Ma Chao has been at war with the Qiang people for many years, and he recognized it at a glance, and Yue Ji was the boss of this group of Qiang people.
The thief captured the king here first, and Ma Chao rushed straight to Yueji.
Jue Ma Chao's eyes stayed on himself, Yue Ji's heart was shocked, and a sense of fear instantly enveloped Yue Ji's heart. Yue Ji wants to escape, but as a Qiang person, Yue Ji still has the pride of Qiang warriors, and would rather die in battle than surrender! So Yue Ji did not run away, but prepared Ma Chao to rush over.
"I can't help myself!" Ma Chao pursed his lips slightly, looking at Yue Ji with disdain, this disdainful look made Yue Ji feel a strong sense of humiliation.
"Too much deception!" Yue Ji shouted, and then saw the two horses rubbing and kicking, Yue Ji only felt a cold chest, and then blood spurted out of Yue Ji's chest.
"What a fast gun......" Yueji fell off his horse with a hint of unwillingness and relief.
……
Cherrigi led a large group of men and horses to walk forward, and saw a bunch of remnants of defeated soldiers running in front of him from a distance, which was the vanguard of Yueji.
"Defeated? So fast? Cherrigi muttered.
Cherrigi didn't expect that Yueji's more than 10,000 vanguard troops would be able to defeat Ma Chao, but Cherrigi thought that Yueji would be able to support at least a while and wait for his army to arrive, but he didn't expect that it would only be a long time before this vanguard was defeated.
"What about Yueji? Where did Yue Ji go? Cherrigi shouted.
"King, General Yueji fought with Ma Chao for a round, and was stabbed to death by Ma Chao!"
"One round......" Cherrigi's eyes widened in surprise.
Yue Ji is also a famous general of the Qiang nationality and has excellent martial arts, but he can't even hold up a move under Ma Chao, which planted a seed of fear in Cheriji's heart.
At the same time that Cheriji received the news of Yueji's defeat and death, Ma Chao withdrew his troops.
Because Ma Chao received the news that Liu Bei came from Yongzhou, the western Xianbei Budugen and Fuluo Han had entered the Xiao Pass, and the central Xianbei Kebi Nengke left Shangjun and headed towards Yongzhou, and at the same time, Liu Bao, the king of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian, also led his Xiongnu army and crossed the Hetao army into Yongzhou.
Thinking of the Qiang clan and the Qiang tribe who are now gathering soldiers and horses, Ma Chao can already feel that a huge net is spreading towards the Shu army.
Among the five Hu, the most powerful is of course the Xianbei people, the Xianbei three together are not inferior to the Huns of the year, and now the three Xianbei have the strongest two, plus the words of Liu Bao, the left king of the Southern Huns, the pressure faced by Liu Bei in Yongzhou can be imagined.
Xianbei and Xiongnu are both nomadic people, even if Liu Bei's subordinates are fierce generals like Zhang Zhao, Pang Tong Zhuge Liang is a wise man, plus the 200,000 Shu army that can fight well is in the Guanzhong Great Plain area with the two Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang Division, the victory or defeat is at most five or five, and even Liu Bei's chances of victory will be smaller.
The Qiang tribe, the tribe and the tribe add up to 300,000 people, and if these 300,000 people are put into the Yongzhou battlefield again, Liu Beike will be defeated.
Therefore, Liu Bei sent a letter hoping that Ma Chao could use all means to drag down the Qiang, Qiang and Qiang tribes as much as possible, and let them not enter Yongzhou for at least one year.
A year is not a long time, but it is not easy to really drag Sanhu for a year. Whether it is the Qiang nationality, the ethnic group or the ethnic group, basically all the people are soldiers, as long as they are young men of appropriate age, they can be put on the battlefield.
Now the Qiang king Cheriji has gathered 150,000 Qiang soldiers, and the number is still increasing; The tribesmen are an agrarian people, and they need to leave people to farm, and they may not send too many people, but there will always be seventy or eighty thousand people; The clansmen are still just ready to move, and the specific information has not yet arrived, and Ma Chao still doesn't know how many people the clan will send. But thinking about the fact that the clan defeated the Huns to become independent, it can be seen that there will not be too few people in the clan, and it is estimated that there must be about 100,000 people. Combined, there are conservative estimates of 400,000 people.
The Qiang people had also offended the Han several times before, but at that time, the Han had the vast Yongzhou that could be used as a vertical area, and the big city could be used as a defensive fortress, and the Qiang cavalry could not attack the city, and when the Qiang people were exhausted and the food was exhausted, the Han army would attack and the result of the battle was naturally that the Han army defeated the invading Qiang people every time, and sometimes they could go deep into the Qiang land for hundreds of miles.
But now Ma Chao does not have the big body of Yongzhou, and Ma Chao can only defend the three counties of Wuwei, Xiping and Jincheng, once these three counties are lost, the Hu people can drive straight into Yongzhou. But fortunately, whether it is Wuwei, or Xiping and Jincheng, the city walls are very tall and strong, and the food in the interior is also sufficient
Enough to keep it.
If the Qiang and Qiang clans really attacked the city on a large scale, Ma Chao would be more at ease. But this time the main battlefield is Yongzhou, as long as Liu Bei's army in Yongzhou is defeated, even if it makes no sense to hold Liangzhou, so what Ma Chao is most worried about is that Sanhu will ignore the Shu army in Liangzhou to bypass the city held by Ma Chao and attack Yongzhou. And because Ma Chaoren didn't dare to go out of the city to fight with Sanhu's army in the field, at that time, Sanhu would enter Yongzhou Liu Bei's 200,000 Shu army and face Wuhu at the same time, which was almost impossible to defeat.
Suddenly, Ma Chaoxian, Hu Ren seems to have been a little too powerful in recent years!
Although the number of Hu people in the north and northwest is only one-tenth of the Han people, most of the Hu people are all soldiers, which means that once there is a war, except for women, children under the age of eleven or twelve, and the elderly, everyone else will go to the battlefield, and fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews, and even grandchildren will become robes. In this way, the Hu people can turn at least one-third of the population into troops. Although the Han people have a huge population base, when they really encounter war, one person per household is the limit.
"Fortunately, there are still a lot of Han people!" Ma Chao sighed softly. However, Ma Chao didn't know that after nearly a hundred years of war and chaos in the Three Kingdoms era, coupled with the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, by the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of Han people was not much more than that of the Hu people, which finally led to the internal migration of Wuhu and the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
……
Changan.
Liu Bei's scouts had already inquired about the specific situation of Xianbei and the Xiongnu's dispatch of troops this time.
On the Xiongnu side, Liu Bei, the king of Zuoxian, gathered 80,000 men and crossed the Hetao to enter Yongzhou. These 80,000 people are all hard-dressed soldiers of the Southern Huns, and all of them are cavalry, skilled in bows and horses.
The central Xianbei Bineng originally led 100,000 troops to the county, but this time Kebineng heard that the western Xianbei also participated in the attack on Guanzhong, for fear of falling behind, so he transferred 30,000 people from the eastern Xianbei, adding up to a total of 130,000 people, and attacked Yongzhou by merging the state.
The situation in Xianbei in the west is the most complicated. First, the king of Xianbei Budugen, led 100,000 troops and entered Xiao Pass, and then the lord of Xianbei in the west, Fu Luo Han, led the troops to Karasuma and entered Xiao Pass.
Luo Han and Bu Du Gen are actually brothers, and Bu Du Gen is Fu Luo Han's younger brother. When the initial Dugen ascended the throne, Fu Luo Han was not convinced, and secretly recruited troops, and at the same time, because Fu Luo Han's reputation in the West Xianbei was very high, in the end, about a quarter of the people in the West Xianbei followed Fu Luo Han and respected Fu Luo Han as an adult. This also makes Western Xianbei look powerful, but internally it is very inconsistent.
The sudden arrival of Xianbei and the Xiongnu completely disrupted Liu Bei's plan, originally Liu Bei was preparing to attack Tongguan and stabilize the pass, but in this way, Liu Bei had to deal with the invasion of Xianbei and Xiongnu first.
At this time, Liu Bei was in the emperor of Chang'an City, and in Liu Bei's hand, he was holding a palm-sized piece of silk cloth, on which rows of small characters were densely written.
Liu Bei looked at the silk cloth, his face became more and more ugly, and finally Liu Bei scolded loudly:
"Cao Xiao'er, you can't die well!"
"Cao, you cut off your children and grandchildren! You don't have a ...... son."
The swearing words came out of Liu Bei's mouth one after another, making the guards standing guard outside stunned.
Liu Bei was originally born in the market, and when he scolded people, he naturally opened his mouth to say a few words without the same.
The silk cloth in Liu Bei's hand was sent from Xu Du, and the person who wrote the silk cloth was Mr. Qiu, the senior spy that Liu Bei planted in Xu Du.
According to the silk cloth, after Cao went to Jia Xu's mansion, he ordered Xiao Guan to be burned. And Mr. Qiu analyzed that the matter of Xianbei and the Xiongnu entering the Kou must have been deliberately done by Cao, in order to make Liu Bei and Hu Ren lose both, and Cao himself could take advantage of the fisherman's profit to come up with this poisonous plan, except for Jia Xu, who would not be anyone else.
At this time, Liu Bei was very angry in his heart, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the heroes have risen together, there are countless princes everywhere, and everyone is going for nothing more than one thing, that is, the world! There are naturally rules for fighting for the world, and there is also a bottom line, and this bottom line is what the princes must abide by.
This bottom line is that no matter how you fight and how you fight the world, it will always be the world of the Han people, and the competition between the princes is just an internal matter of the Han people. But no matter what, you can't give this world to a foreign race.
In the early years of Jian'an, Sun Zan attacked Liu Yu, and at that time, Liu Yu had a very good relationship with the nomads in the north, and even at the last moment, Liu Yu did not lead the foreign race across the Great Wall to help him defend against Gongsun Zan .
Later, in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated, but in fact, at that time, Yuan Shao still had 200,000 border troops in Youzhou, guarding against the nomads on the grassland, and Yuan Shao still had the strength to fight, but Yuan Shao did not mobilize the 200,000 border troops until his death.
When Cao Cao unified the north, he also put 200,000 people in Youhe and Erzhou to guard against the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Karasuma tribes. When Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and saw that it would hit Xudu, Cao Cao's soldiers were insufficient, and at that time, Cao Cao's first thought was to move the capital and temporarily avoid the edge of Guan Yu's army, instead of going to the north to mobilize a large army to fight against Guan Yu.
So all along, the princes have been fighting for the world, and they have been in accordance with the rules of the game. Even to the point where the mountains and rivers are at their most dangerous, they have not violated the rules of the game. But now Cao actually burned down Xiao Pass, to put it bluntly, this is deliberately letting the Hu people enter the customs and giving up the entire Yongzhou land to the Hu people! This is a complete violation of the rules of the game.
Before Cao asked the Qiang people to help in the war, Liu Bei could bear it, after all, the Qiang people would go back in the future. But now that Xiaoguan has been burned, it will forever open the door of Yongzhou and let the Xianbei people in. As a result, how many Han Chinese will be poisoned by foreign races? This is completely different from asking the Qiang people to help in the war, so Liu Bei can't bear it at all.
Xianbei and Xiongnu combined have more people than Liu Bei, if Liu Bei fights with Xianbei and the Xiongnu, if he is unlucky, the whole army will be annihilated, even if he is lucky enough to defeat the army of Xianbei and Xiongnu, Liu Bei's 200,000 people will not be much left, and it will be difficult to recover in the next ten years.
Of course, Liu Bei could also avoid fighting and retreat to Hanzhong without confronting the Hu people head-on, at that time, with the difficult terrain of Shu, the Hu people's cavalry could not attack. But in that case, it will inevitably suffer the Han people in Yongzhou. As a Han Chinese, Liu Bei would never allow such a thing to happen.
So even if Liu Bei knew that this battle was won or lost, it was a loss-making business.
Bei still made a resolute decision to fight this battle with the Xianbei and the Huns
Liu Bei decisively approached Pang Tong to discuss how to deal with the army of Xianbei people.
Pang Tongxian's suggestion was not to engage the Hu people, but to retreat to Hanzhong. Because in Pang Tong's view, the roads in Shu were difficult and dangerous, and the Hu people's cavalry could not walk at all, so when Liu Bei retreated to Hanzhong, the Hu people would inevitably give priority to Cao in the east rather than Liu Bei in the south if they wanted to expand. After all, the road to attack the Central Plains is much easier than entering Shu. In this way, Liu Bei's troops can be preserved, and the disaster can be channeled to Cao's side.
But this suggestion was vetoed by Liu Bei at the first time. Because Liu Bei absolutely did not allow Yongzhou to fall into the hands of the Hu people.
So Pang Tong had no choice but to prepare to fight with foreign races, and after Pang Tong analyzed, he immediately pointed out several major weaknesses of the Hu army.
The first is the issue of grain and grass. Whether it is Xianbei or Xiongnu, it seems that there are many people. However, they came from afar, and the supply of logistics in the rear must be a big problem, plus the grassland is already short of food, so whether it is Xianbei or the Xiongnu, they must be short of food from afar, and they are not durable to fight. At the same time, the Xianbei and Xiongnu were both cavalry and were not good at attacking the city, so they only needed to defend the wall with the city wall, and when the Hu people ran out of food, they would inevitably retreat.
The second point is that although the number of Hu who came this time was large, it was a coalition army, and it was not the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, which was originally full of contradictions. The central Xianbei and the western Xianbei have always been at odds with each other, and the central Xianbei Kebineng is a person with great ambition who wants to annex the eastern Xianbei and the western Xianbei and unify the Xianbei tribes. And in the western Xianbei, there are also many contradictions between the Budugen and the Fu Luo Han brothers. As long as we can make good use of the contradictions within Xianbei and skillfully use the divisive strategy, we can achieve the effect of victory without a fight.
At the same time, Pang Tong believes that the Qiang and other tribes must not be allowed to come to Yongzhou to join Xianbei and the Xiongnu, once the Wuhu converge, it is impossible to defeat the Wuhu with Liu Bei's current strength, even if it is to defend the city, it is difficult to be abnormal, so the best way is to let Ma Chao drag the Sanhu of Liangzhou and the Xianbei and Xiongnu of Yongzhou After the army retreats, then go all out to deal with the Sanhu of Liangzhou.
Moreover, Pang Tong also proposed that if Liu Bei really wanted to hold Liangzhou, then he needed to ask Chengdu for help now, so that Yizhou would immediately carry out a general mobilization for the war, and at least mobilize another 100,000 horses to Hanzhong, ready to support the battle in Yongzhou at any time. If the 100,000 reinforcements from Youzhou are used as a guarantee, I am afraid that after Wuhu retreats, it is impossible for Cao Xiang to succeed in picking up cheap.
According to Pang Tong's strategy, there are two key points in the battle between the Shu army and the Wuhu, which is that the Shu army must be strong and clear, concentrate all its resources in the city for defense, and must not be entangled with the Wuhu head-on, and the losses on the one side are too great; The second point is that Ma Chao must hold back the three tribes of Liangzhou and Heqiang.
There are many Shu troops in the Shu checkpoint, and all the strong walls and Qingye are familiar with the Shu army according to the city, and the focus of all the wars has shifted to Liangzhou again, to see if Ma Chao can successfully drag Sanhu for a year.
……
Chang'an City, the main hall of the imperial palace.
The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang, so the palace of this city naturally could not be compared with the palace in Luoyang back then, and it was also deficient compared to the palace of Qin or the Western Han Dynasty.
However, Chang'an is the western capital of the Han Dynasty after all, so the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty built the current palace on the basis of the Western Han Dynasty palace as the emperor's palace. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, and the Chang'an Palace has gradually faded out of people's sight.
Now that Liu Bei is in Chang'an, he naturally wants to live in the Chang'an Palace. Although this Chang'an palace is a little old, its scale is much larger than Liu Bei's palace in Chengdu, and it is also much more luxurious, and the equipment is more complete. For example, now everyone can stay in this court, which is far twice as big as the one in Chengdu.
At this time, all the civil and military ministers under Liu Bei stayed in the super hall to discuss how to deal with the Hu people. This general strategic idea for dealing with the Hu people has been put forward by Pang Tong before, but in terms of tactical execution, some details still need to be discussed by everyone in order to achieve perfection and seamlessness.
Huang Quan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Tianshui has reported that the Xianbei people have appeared in the territory of Tianshui, such as today Shui Taishou Liangxu, Longxi Taishou Yin Xian, and most of the people have been moved to the city. ”
"Xianbei people went to Tianshui?" Liu Bei was slightly stunned, and said puzzledly: "Why do Xianbei people want to go to Tianshui, from Xiaoguan to Yongke to the right Fufeng, they only need to cross Weishui to attack Chang'an, why do they want to go to Tianshui and go to Tianshui?" ”
Pang Tong immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Xianbei people's move is to seize the Qishan Pass and cut off the return route of our army!" It seems that the Hu people want to annihilate us all here! ”
"I don't think so." Guan Yu immediately came out and objected: "This road in and out of Shu is not the only road in Qishan, the Meridian Valley and the Xiegu Valley are passable, this Xianbei people only occupy the Qishan Pass, we can also take other roads back to Shu." ”
"Don't forget, general, it's the month of month! Now that the rainy season is approaching, once it rains, the Meridian Valley, the Slope Valley, and the scattered passes are not conducive to the march of the army. If we go to the Meridian Valley or the Slope Valley, and the mountain road collapses in heavy rain, we may be trapped on the road and unable to advance or retreat. And if you go to Sanguan, although you will not be blocked by heavy rain road, but the road of Sanguan is not wide, all the way to Dingjun Mountain, hundreds of miles are no place to defend, if the Xianbei cavalry follows, from the back to chase, our army is also in a dilemma.
The only way to go is to go to Qishan, during which there are upper valleys, wooden gates, Tielong Mountain and other places that can be defended to block the pursuit of the Xianbei cavalry. Pang Tong explained from the side.
"Hmph, are those Hu people so smart?" Guan Yu snorted unconvinced.
"Hehehe......" Pang Tong smiled, and then said: "Hu Ren is naturally not so smart, presumably this plan is from the hand of that poisonous Jia Xu." In this way, we have no way out, and we can only fight against the water! ”
Hearing Pang Tong say this, everyone present understood that sure enough, now that there is no way back, if this battle is not won, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to return to Yizhou.
—————————————————
The 8,000-word chapter is sent. It was supposed to be a small explosion yesterday, but it happened to be a year-end inspection and postponed to today. If you still have commuter passes, encourage a few!
