Xi'anyang, was founded in Zhao State, when Zhao Wuling King built the Great Wall, lest the Xiongnu bypass to invade the south, deliberately migrated people from Yunzhong County along the Wula Mountain to build several important military towns, Xi'anyang is one of them.

In the beginning of autumn, the people of Xi'anyang have gone down to the fields to cultivate, they wield sickles and lead ploughing cattle to work in the fields.

Because the weather is not yet cold, the children also run here to play, everyone is looking forward to a good year, and even the sunshine seems to favor this peaceful land.

Suddenly, several men on tall horses galloped by, breaking the peaceful atmosphere of the field.

Most of the common people didn't care, thinking that they were just people who went out on a safari, but the faces of a few old people showed uneasy looks, and they clearly saw that these people on horseback were all wearing left hair, not Han clothes.

Immediately after that, a series of changes took place in Xi'anyang, first the city gate was opened late and closed in the morning, and then the officers and soldiers stationed on the city tower multiplied, and their expressions were serious and solemn.

In the afternoon of the fifth day, the soldiers stationed in the garrison noticed that many small black dots had faintly appeared on the endless plain in the distance, and in a short time the outline of a cavalry gradually became clear.

The generals who defended the city hurriedly ascended the tower, and the situation before him frightened him, and the black and oppressive soldiers and horses poured to the edge of the city like a tide.

There are thousands of people who are boundless, and tens of thousands of people are completely connected to the sky, and these soldiers are all dressed in the same attire - no waistbands, fur for armor, and left hair for hair.

Although the imperial court had been prepared, the Qiang soldiers besieged Xi'anyang with 30,000 troops, which was unexpected, although the defenders desperately blocked, but the disparity in numbers, how did the 800 trembling Han army resist more than 30,000 brave and warlike Qiang people.

After a battle without suspense, Xi'anyang was breached, the defending generals and county commanders were killed, and all 800 soldiers were killed, and then the Qiang people began to plunder and slaughter unscrupulously.

They frantically plundered food, money, and women, and most of the people's houses were burned down by them, and if anyone resisted the slightest, they kicked them into the fire and stabbed them viciously.

The cries and screams in the city were terrifying, and the smell of burnt flesh in the gray smoke was so strong that it was choking, and the city of governance suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

After burning, killing and looting, the Qiang people did not withdraw from Xi'anyang, but left half of the soldiers to garrison, and the other half began to attack other places.

At the same time, in the frontier fortresses such as Yanmen, Mayi, and Shanggu, the border soldiers were fighting bloody battles, brandishing swords and guns, desperately blocking the Xiongnu who were besieging the city.

Looking at the dense cavalry sweeping from Mobei, their eyes looked south, anxiously looking forward to when they would be able to see the banner of the Han family.

※※※※

The breath of autumn is becoming more and more solemn, the cold wind blows from morning to night, the bleak dead leaves fall with the wind, and even the sun becomes dim and weak.

Although the tent was warm, the cold wind was raging outside, and the heavy tearing sound was surging, as if a stormy wave was sweeping in.

Zhang Yi sat on the desk with his hands and stared at the battle report on the case for a long, long time, and the fire in the carbon furnace reflected his grim and old face.

Although it is a thin bamboo slip, the content is a cold sword and soldier atmosphere.

"Hey......" Zhang Yi sighed heavily, then raised the battle report in his hand, and cut directly to the topic: "This time is more serious than imagined, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou have all fallen into the war, how to fight this battle?" What do you recommend? ”

Cui Jun thought for a long time and said: "The last general thinks that he should be able to go to the Yinshan camp, as long as the road to the south is cut off, the Qiang people will naturally return in vain!" ”

This is his long-thinking strategy, Yinshan is the gateway to Jiuyuan, as long as Yinshan is not lost, Jiuyuan can be protected, and the state is worry-free.

Zhang Yi nodded, and he looked at Lu Bu: "Fengxian, what do you think?" ”

Lu Bu and Cheng Lian are the biggest contributors to the victory of Manyi Valley, if it were not for the two of them, I am afraid that all the generals here would have died in Huangquan, at this critical moment, he wanted to hear Lu Bu's opinion.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, Lu Bu did not send troops to Manyi Valley, but stuck to Jiuyuan City with Chenglian, and the generals of each county stationed troops in Yinshan to block and repel the enemy, and finally prevented the Qiang people's southern invasion.

But now that he and Cheng Lian are in Manyi Valley, Jiuyuan City has become an empty city, how can they resist the heroic iron riders living outside the bitter cold with only those old, weak, sick and disabled.

Besides, in Jiuyuan City, there are still people he cares about all his life.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu bowed slightly: "Cui's strategy for joining the army is the middle strategy!" ”

Cui Jun's head tilted slightly, he was not angry because of Lu Bu's rebuttal, but patiently asked: "Can Feng Xian have the best strategy?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at the generals of the camp, and said to himself: "There are two ways to invade the south, one is Yin Mountain, and the other is Shuo Fang, if we only defend Yin Mountain, we don't protect Shuo Fang......

He paused: "The result is that the back road is broken, the abdomen and back are subject to the enemy, and Jiuyuan is in danger!" ”

Cui Jun pondered and analyzed, and frowned slightly: "It is reasonable to say in the foreword, you can divide the troops and defend it, will the gains outweigh the losses?" Besides, Shuofang is thousands of miles away, how can it be kept? ”

"Cui joins the army and is reasonable, dividing troops to fight, has committed a taboo in soldiers!"

"Yes, even if the Qiang people win Shuofang, how can they be willing to go far and commit me and annex the state?"

"Lu Sima is too worried, Hexi is the ultimate goal of the Qiang people, we just need to defend Yinshan and ensure that the state is not lost!"

At this moment, Cheng Lian, who had not spoken, suddenly snorted coldly: "Heshuo is so heavy, how can the imperial court ignore it?" Once the Qiang attack is frustrated, Bao Buqi will make a detour to Heshuo and attack Wuyuan. ”

Cui Jun was slightly stunned, and looked at Cheng Lian a little incredulously, but Cheng Lian turned his head to look at Zhang Yi, and his voice was as clear as Jin Pan: "Ming Gong, Jiuyuan must not be lost, otherwise the clouds are as dangerous as eggs." ”

You must know that King Wuling of Zhao built the Great Wall and the important town of Jiuyuan, the purpose is to prevent the Xiongnu from detouring south to invade Yunzhong, if Yunzhong is lost, the battle of Bingzhou will be a dead end.

Since Cui Jun joined the army, he naturally has extraordinary insight, and he can understand it with a little click, and he echoed: "Xiaojie's words are not unreasonable......

Seeing that Cui Jun had been persuaded, the generals naturally didn't say much, but turned their eyes to Zhang Yi and waited for his decision.

Zhang Yi handed the battle report to Cui Jun, and said: "I just received the latest battle report, the Qiang people have made a detour to Heshuo, entered Kou and merged with the state, and Xi'anyang has lost ......."

As soon as these words came out, the generals were in an uproar, if it was really as Zhang Yi said, wouldn't Jiuyuan City be in danger?

Once Jiuyuan City is breached by the Qiang people, then the state will still defend it.

Zhang Yi didn't care about the expressions of the generals in the account, he looked at Lu Bu and aggravated his tone: "The military situation is urgent, can Feng Xian take on the heavy responsibility?" ”

Lu Bu got up without hesitation, hugged his fists and said, "I am willing to share my worries for Ming Gong!" ”

"That being the case, the old man divides your 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you can gallop to the aid of Jiuyuan County...... "After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he smashed his fist on the bookcase in vain, and the ink on the inkstone poured out: "The rest of the generals, you can lead the army and horses of the headquarters to Yinshan, the old man has a word first, the war has begun, all the soldiers should work together to protect the territory, and the people of Anli, whoever escapes from the battle and neglects the army, no matter who your backer is, the old man will not be forgiven......"

The generals knew that they couldn't stay out of the matter, so they hugged their fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
