I, Shi Yong, swear here that I will take revenge...... Today's events will be for the Han people! Shi Yong's shout resounded in the air, echoing in bursts. （_o_m）

There was silence all around, only Shi Yong's roar echoed in the air, and a moment later, several of Shi Yong's most loyal subordinates standing behind him also shouted: "You will take revenge!" ”

"Avengeance!"

"Avengeance!"

Since entering Yongzhou, the Qiang people have never suffered such heavy losses, or they have never suffered such heavy losses for many years. Looking at the robed corpse on the ground, looking at the wounded soldiers who were moaning, the sadness and indignation in people's hearts were gradually brought up, and the people around were also infected by this shout, and all the people shouted with them.

At this moment, all the clansmen were full of hatred in their hearts, and the unfavorable things of Commander Shi Yong had been forgotten by everyone, and everyone had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to avenge the dead clansmen.

Shi Yong looked at Zhou with a sad and angry face: The angry clan soldiers were full of shouts like mountains and seas in their ears. But Shi Yong was silently secretly calling for luck in his heart, thanks to his own inspiration, he came up with this way to divert his attention, and shifted everyone's attention to the matter of revenge, and Shi Yong's position as the marshal of the clan can be regarded as temporarily stable.

However, Shi Yong did not plan to continue to confront the Han people near Tianshui. With Shi Yong's shrewdness, it has been completely seen that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who led the Shu army, is not an ordinary person, and he has lost tens of thousands of horses in just one day and one night.

In the eyes of the Hu people, the Han people are always scheming, and Zhuge Liang is recognized by Shi Yong as an outstanding representative of this kind of scheming.

Shi has already felt that in the face of Zhuge Liang, he can't win with people alone, and now in the direction of Chang'an, there are more than 200,000 Xianbei people and Huns army, if he can unite the Xianbei people and the Huns, he will be afraid of Zhuge Liang's plan. In Shi Yong's opinion, in the face of absolute strength superiority, the strategy is ineffective.

Zhuge Liang's 100,000 people came to support the reinforcements. Shi Yong felt that there was no need for the clan side to deal with these Bashu reinforcements. So it was decided to return to Chang'an for the time being. Converge with Kebineng and others, and discuss countermeasures with Kebineng to deal with Zhuge Liangdi. More importantly, it was to drag both the Xianbei and the Huns into the water.

The army retreated. The army outside Tianshui City was all withdrawn within one day. Tianshui encircled and dissolved.

Another day. Zhuge Liang's reinforcements rushed to Tianshui.

……

Ma Zun led a cadre of Wenchen generals from Tianshui City to stand at the city gate. Welcome to Zhuge Liangdi's arrival.

Not for a while. Zhuge Liangdi's four-wheeled vehicle slowly came and hurriedly caught up. Chong Zhuge Liang bowed: "Tianshui is too shou Ma Zun has seen the prime minister. ”

"You're Ma Zun?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"The last general is Ma Zun."

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction: "You have done a good job, Tianshui City has been able to defend until now, and I will definitely report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for you on the day when you make great contributions." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Ma Zun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Then Ma Zun continued: "Prime Minister, I have prepared a banquet, Prime Minister invites." ”

Zhuge Liang walked for a day and felt tired, so he followed Ma Zun into the city.

Ma Zun invited Zhuge Liang to a banquet, and all the officials of the city and some big clans of Tianshui accompanied him, but Jiang Wei did not come. Jiang Wei's mother was sick recently, so Jiang Wei took care of her at home and did not come.

During the banquet, Ma Zun mentioned Jiang Wei to Zhuge Liang many times and helped Jiang Wei show his merits. But because Jiang Wei was not present, Zhuge Liang just wrote down the name Jiang Wei.

Adou's plan is to break Weishui and flood Sanhu, although Zhuge Liang doesn't agree with Adou's plan, but Zhuge Liang himself has to admit that this plan is currently the fastest way to solve the Hu people in Yongzhou.

Zhuge Liang knew that there was still a Cao Zai eyeing the east of Tongguan in the east of Yongzhou, so Adou intended to solve the problem quickly, solve the Hu people as soon as possible, and stabilize Yongzhou, so as to prevent falling into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. From a strategic point of view, Adou's decision is very correct, but flooding Yongzhou will sacrifice the people on both sides of the Weishui River, and will make hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou become disaster victims.

Zhuge Liang is cautious, in Zhuge Liang's view, the losses that can be avoided must be avoided, so Zhuge Liang did not agree with Adou's plan to flood Yongzhou. It is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's prudence that Zhuge Liang will not argue with Adou, and when Adou is determined to flood Yongzhou, Zhuge Liang can only do his best to plan for Adou.

Therefore, the first thing Zhuge Liang did after arriving in Tianshui was to send people to investigate the situation in Weishui and prepare for the flooding of Sanhu.

……

Inside the Meridian Valley.

A normal business traveler walks in the Meridian Valley, and if there is no accident, he can walk the 660-mile Meridian Valley in ten days. If the number of people is large, you need to bring more grain and grass, the road in the Meridian Valley is difficult to travel, and the march in the Meridian Valley is much slower when there are more people, and Wei Yan took 5,000 people to the Meridian Valley to raid Chang'an, even if it was a rapid march, it took 20 days to finish.

And now, Adou is carrying a full 30,000 people, six times more than Wei Yan, and the marching speed is much slower than Wei Yan at the beginning. The only thing that made Adou feel fortunate was that these 30,000 people were all selected from the barbarians, and they were already very good at walking mountain roads, and the weight of the vine armor was not large, which also reduced the burden of the march.

Adou's luck is good, the weather has always been very good, the wind is smooth, and the weather is clear. But this good luck did not last, and when Adou entered the Meridian Valley on the twenty-first day, it finally rained.

The rain was not heavy, but there were a few small raindrops from early in the morning, and in the evening, these small raindrops

。 Such a light rain did not cause flash floods or mud and rocks in the Meridian Valley, and it did not block the road, but it made the roads in the valley muddy, and the difficulty of marching increased exponentially.

For these barbarian men, it doesn't matter if there is more mud on the ground. However, the grain and grass for logistical supplies need to be transported by car. On such a muddy road, it was very difficult for the carts full of grain and grass to drive, and even the wooden oxen and horses could only save a little effort to speed up the march and did not help in any way.

The marching speed of the 30,000 barbarian army was not greatly affected by this light rain, but the 30,000 people needed to eat food, so even if the army under Adou's command could increase the marching speed, they were not allowed to move with the grain and grass.

Stumbled and walked for more than a month, and when it rained heavily when there were still more than 30 miles from the mouth of the Meridian Valley, even Adou himself called luck. Fortunately, there were only thirty miles left from the valley mouth, and if it rained heavily halfway through, he would inevitably be trapped halfway through.

Adou wasn't ready to brave the rain. Now Adou is bringing barbarians. These barbarians have lived in Nanzhong for a long time, and it should be regarded as the place in the south of China, where Yongzhou is located, which is now Shaanxi, and the authentic north is completely different from Nanzhong because of the barrier of the Qinling Mountains, and the climate of Yongzhou is completely different from that of Nanzhong, so if you rush to march, it is easy to cause these barbarians to be unadaptable, especially after marching in the rain, I don't know how many people will fall ill. Therefore, Adou ordered the whole army to rest for a day and continue the march after the rain stopped. This not only allows the army to rest and rest, but also allows these barbarians who grew up in the south to adapt to the climate of the north.

The Shu army camp in the Meridian Valley.

The Shu army camped to avoid the heavy rain, but Adou did not stay in the camp with peace of mind. I was bored and decided to go out for a walk, and by the way, I heard about the situation in Yongzhou. Although it was raining heavily outside, it did not affect the interest of travel in the slightest, and although the road was muddy, it did not affect Adou's footsteps.

Since the Hu people entered Yongzhou, the Hu people burned and looted everywhere, and most of the people hid in the city, or hid in some relatively remote places where the Hu people were not easy to find.

And the business travel is because of the Hu people's attack and disappeared, originally a lot of young people coveted the Meridian Valley road near, often take the Meridian Valley out of Yongzhou, now Adou all the way, but not even a business traveler.

These caravans are well-informed, and sometimes the news of these caravans is much faster than that of professional scouts. Although the authenticity and credibility of many of the so-called gossip in the mouths of these businessmen are very doubtful. But in this era when news can only be delivered by people, the news in the mouth of the merchant is still worth paying attention to. A single piece of news can make the difference between victory and defeat in a war.

Because of the invasion of the Hu people, burning and looting in Yongzhou, the business travel has long been cut off, Adou has not encountered a business trip in this more than a month of marching, so what is the situation in Yongzhou now, to what extent the war has been carried out, whether Chang'an City is still as stable as Mount Tai, whether the Hu people are still besieging the city, Adou is not known at all.

The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, war is a big thing, to say that it is the strength of the country, and the strategic arrangement; To put it mildly, it is tactical literacy, and there is intelligence. Now Adou doesn't know anything about the latest information in Yongzhou, and his eyes are black, and this battle is naturally impossible to fight, so Adou personally walked out of the Meridian Valley to listen to some of the latest information.

As soon as Adou put on his coat and hat and was about to leave, Zhang walked in from outside, came to Adou, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have caught a person, and that person claims to be a citizen of Yongzhou. ”

"The people of Yongzhou? Bring it on! Adou said immediately. Adou knew that if that person was really the people of Yongzhou, he might be able to bring the information of Yongzhou that he needed most.

After a while, an old man was brought in. The old clothes were ragged and muddy, like a flower child. Looking at his face, this old man had a slethered complexion, shriveled and dull skin, and looked malnourished.

The old man walked in tremblingly, and at the same time looked around cautiously, when Adou, who was sitting in the middle, was looking at himself, he was so frightened that he was scared, and his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground, and then the old man climbed hard, but he didn't get up.

"Zhang, go get a bowl of hot water." Adou commanded.

After a while, Zhang took a bowl of hot water and handed it to Lao, who took the hot water, drank a few sips, warmed up his body, and finally eased up a little.

Seeing that the old man was a little relieved, Adou opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, are you from Yongzhou?" ”

The old man nodded, and said hoarsely, "My lord, I'm from Yongzhou." Lao said, swallowed his saliva, and then said, "My lord, can you give me a mouthful of porridge to drink first?" ”

"Zhang, go get a bowl of porridge." Adou said.

After a while, Zhang came over with a large bowl of thick porridge and handed it to the old man, who saw this bowl of porridge and poured the bowl of porridge into his stomach with gobbling.

Seeing that the old man finally added all the bowls clean, Adou sighed slightly, judging from the old man's appearance, this old man should have not eaten for a long time.

After drinking this bowl of porridge, he breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the bowl in his hand unsatisfied, and then knelt down in front of Adou to thank him.

"Old man, haven't you eaten for a long time?" Adou asked.

"What the adults are saying is that I haven't eaten for a day and a night." The old replied.

"Old man, you just said that you are from Yongzhou, how is the war in Yongzhou now? wildly

Is it? Adou then asked.

"Hey......" Lao Lao sighed: "Those Hu people are still in Yongzhou, and some rich families have already hid in the city, and we poor people."

The Hu people came and took all our food...... At the beginning, some Hu people only needed food, but later a group of Hu people not only asked for food, but also killed people! The people in the neighboring villages were all killed, and the people in the villages escaped by luck and hid in the mountains, which saved their lives. We didn't bring much food with us when we came out, but now the food has been eaten, I am the head of the village, and in the morning I saw that there were people here, so I came to try my luck, and I met the adults. ”

"Then do you know what the current situation is in Chang'an City?" Adou then asked.

"Chang'an City should not have been captured yet, I heard from the people who escaped from the neighboring village that those most ferocious Hu people came to us to kill people because they couldn't capture Chang'an."

"The most ferocious Hu man?"

"Yes, my lord, some people come and only take food and goods, not people's lives. Some Hu people not only robbed food and property, but also killed people! But those most ferocious Hu people don't just kill people, they also eat people! As he said this, a hint of fear flashed in his pupils.

"Cannibalism?" Adou was shocked in his heart, and continued: "Who are these cannibal Hu people? ”

"I heard that they are a clan. Their commander is called Shi Yong. I have heard that these people do not like to eat grain, but like to eat human flesh, and many people in our neighboring villages have been taken away by them, and I have heard that they have all been eaten. ”

When Adou heard that it was a person, and the name Yong was added, his heart was slightly shocked. Adou knew that among the five Hu and sixteen kingdoms, there was a country established by a clan, Hou Zhao, and the establishment of Hou Zhao was surnamed "Shi". This Hou Zhao produced a very ferocious monarch, named Shi Hu, it is said that this Shi Hu is very fond of eating human flesh, is this Shi Yong related to the Later Zhao established by the later clan, or this Shi Yong is the ancestor of the future Later Zhao monarch.

"Hometown, you just said that all the people in your village have escaped?" Adou then asked.

"Lord Hui, more than 40 people in our village have run out, and now they are all in the mountains."

"You're out of food?"

Lao nodded: "The strong men in the village have gone hunting, and it often takes several days to come back. The women of the village went around digging up wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy their hunger. ”

"Zhang, go get some food and send someone to send it to them."

Adou took a deep breath after speaking, he didn't expect the clansmen to eat people! Cannibalism has been repeatedly recorded in ancient times, and during the Warring States period, it was not a sin for people to eat people. However, after Confucianism completely occupied the mainstream of thought in the world, especially after Cheng Zhu Lixue, cannibalism is definitely a challenge to the bottom line of morality, and it is an act that no one can tolerate.

"Shi Yong, don't let me meet you, otherwise you will definitely die without a corpse!" Adou sighed silently in his heart.

……

Adou didn't expect that his wish would soon come true.

After a day's rest, the Shu army continued to march out of the Meridian Valley.

Meridian Valley is only 100 miles away from Chang'an, and from Meridian Valley to Chang'an, it is enough to achieve day and night.

The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and the scouts of the Shu army appeared on the horizon, and soon, the scouts came to Adou and said: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, a hundred miles to the northwest, there is a trace of the Hu army." ”

"How many people came?" Adou hurriedly asked.

"About 70,000 people."

"Is it Xianbei or Xiongnu?" Adou then asked.

"It's a clan, and the person who leads the troops is named Shi Yong!"

"Shi Yong!" Adou gritted his teeth, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he really responded to a sentence, it took no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them.

"Order, march north at once and intercept these people!" Adou immediately ordered.

……

Outside the city of Chang'an.

Kebineng and Liu Bao were sitting together, enjoying the wine they had snatched.

"Shan Yu, has there been any news of that group of people recently?" Liu Bao asked.

"It's not like that, Tianshui City has been fighting for so long, and it hasn't been beaten yet!" Kebineng said disdainfully.

"Shan Yu is really a clever plan, and he has long expected that there are extraordinary people in Water City that day." Liu Bao hurriedly slapped a sycophant.

This sycophant can be very comfortable, Kebi can smile proudly, and said: "Let's not underestimate the evil Han people, there are many treacherous and cunning people among the Han people, when it comes to head-to-head confrontation, the Han people may not have much ability, but when it comes to brushing up on intrigues and tricks, the Han people are very powerful." ”

Liu Bao nodded, and then said: "Shan Yu, I heard that the Han reinforcements have been assembled in Hanzhong a few days ago, and if you calculate the time, it is almost time to arrive in Yongzhou." ”

"Don't worry about this, I've already sent someone to Sanguan to keep an eye on it. If the Han reinforcements came, they would either go to Qishan or go to Sanguan. Out of Qishan will inevitably pass through Tianshui, there is Shi Yong staring at it, if the Han people are scattered, I can also know it as soon as possible and be prepared. Kebineng said confidently.

"Shan Yu, what about the Meridian Valley and the Slope Valley? If the Han people go to the Meridian Valley or the Slope Valley, what should they do? Liu Bao then asked.

"Hehehe......" Kebineng suddenly put on an unfathomable look and laughed.

It's more than 5,000 again, and now it's half past four in the morning, and I'm finally done, and the promised 10,000 words are updated, and I go to bed. During the day, it exploded, and cheekily asked everyone for a few monthly passes.
