Chapter 121: Death and Destruction of the Country (8)
After the Zhenbei army took the city of Rile, Linghu Dezhao ordered the only remaining more than 1,000 people in the city to be registered, and the grain and grass in the city were gone, and these people needed the Zhenbei army to provide grain and grass to live.
Li Yan had already ordered someone to send the good news back to Zhangye, all the way to Jiuquan overnight, and now the whole territory of Pseudo-Liang has been taken, and the northern part of Xijun is close to the Hetao region and borders Hu Xia and Wei.
The Western Liang army's capture of all the counties of Northern Liang will definitely make Xia and Wei alarmed, especially since Xia and Northern Liang are both Xiongnu clans, and the relationship between the two families is extraordinary.
Xijun faced the possibility of directly fighting with Wei and Xia, although now that Hulu was fighting with Wei, Xia had just defeated Qin again, and the two countries would not sit idly by and watch Xiliang rise.
Li Yan proposed to Li Wei to deploy heavy troops in Xijun to strictly prevent the invasion of Wei and Xia. Winter will be in a few months, and it will have to be deployed in advance.
In the county guard's mansion, Li Yan was deeply worried about the current situation, in addition to the Gaochang garrison, there were only more than 50,000 soldiers and horses left in the Xiliang army, and there should be heavy troops in Linsong and Qilian to defend against Tuyuhun, Xijun was facing the threat of Wei and Xia, and the soldiers and horses of Nanliang were still not to be underestimated.
The strength of the Xiliang army is now overstretched, and it originally only needed to defend the Lejuan camp against the pseudo-Liang, but now it has taken the entire territory of the pseudo-Liang, and it is facing an even greater threat.
"Brother Yan, who do you think the prince will let guard Xijun? This directly faces the powerful Wei State and the murderous Hu Xia, and the combat power of the two countries is no less than that of the pseudo-Liang, and the extraordinary generals can guard this place. After Ling Hu Dezhao finished dealing with the trivial matters in the city, as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Li Yan's face was not good.
"In my opinion, it is more likely that grandpa will let General Zhang Jing guard Xijun, and the Xijun camp needs at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, which accounts for more than half of my Daliang soldiers and horses, do you think my second uncle will rest assured that I will guard Xijun?" Li Yan sighed and said what he thought.
"It seems that Brother Yan has long expected that General Zhang Jing is only loyal to King Liang, and has not expressed his position on the courtship of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince will use him to guard Xijun, so there will not be much resistance." Linghu Dezhao nodded, and agreed with what Li Yan said.
"Huh. As long as I can keep Da Liang worry-free, it doesn't matter who guards Xijun, but now I am short of soldiers and horses, and I am under great pressure in the short term. ”
"This is also true, General Linghu has stationed 5,000 soldiers and horses in Linsong County and Qilian County respectively, and now there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Zhu Yuanhu in Zhangye City, and at least 30,000 elite soldiers are needed to ensure that Xijun is safe."
"The recruitment of soldiers and horses is with Suo Changshi and Grandpa Song, so it shouldn't be a big problem. After this battle, the Zhenbei army killed the majesty of my Daliang sergeant, and at the same time caused a lot of casualties. ”
"That's fine."
After receiving the urgent order from the bald Wei Tan, the bald Hutai had no choice but to withdraw from Rile City, and the army went straight to Wuwei in the night.
After dawn, the bald tiger platform passed through Fanhe City, where the bald Wei Tan defeated Fuqu Mashiko not long ago, and the outside of the city is still very fishy. And this time the grain and grass in the Changsong camp were burned, it was Fuqu Mashiko, and the bald Hutai couldn't help but increase his hatred for Fuqu Mashiko.
"Your Highness, the king has now retreated to Wuwei, we have to rush to Wuwei and join forces with the king before dark, and it is important to hurry." The guards beside the bald Hutai saw him stop outside Panhe City, and said.
"Hmph. I know that. Is there any news from the scouts sent out last night? The bald tiger snorted.
"Your Highness, after Fuqu Mengxun left Rile City last night, the last general sent a total of more than ten soldiers to follow the Huns, and no one has returned so far. Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. The guard beside the bald tiger platform bowed down and said.
"Revisit. This person is insidious and cunning, if it weren't for the urgent call of his father, this time the northern army of the town would have torn his face, and there would have been a lot of casualties. ”
"Yes."
The bald Hutai knew that it was impossible for Fuqu Mengxun to escape the scout's pursuit so quickly, and that Frustrated Qu Mengxun's army was mixed with many Huns, which undoubtedly slowed down the march.
Before dark, Bald Tiger Tai led the army to Wuwei, where the 20,000 troops of Bald Tiger Tai were stationed.
"The child has seen his father." As soon as the bald tiger platform entered the big tent, he saluted the bald Wei Tan.
"Get up." The bald Wei Tan was obviously still looking solemn at the frustration of Mashiko's burning of grain and grass.
"Thank you, Father." The bald tiger stood up and stood beside the bald Bun.
Seeing that the bald Hu Tan didn't say a word, the bald Hutai asked in a low voice, "Father, has Guzang City been taken now?" ”
"Hmm. Guzang City is already in my hands in Da Liang, but now the Hun thieves have burned my grain and grass, which is really hateful, and now I have to give up the important place of Xijun. ”
"Report!" There was a hurried voice from the big tent, and then a dusty sergeant staggered in.
"His Royal Highness the King and Prince, Fuqu Mengxun led the army out of Rile City and fled eastward at night, Fuqu led 20,000 Huns through the desert to flee to the territory of Xia for a hundred years, and Fuqu Mengxun and Fuqu Funu led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Guzang City." The sergeant in the tent reported.
"What? Frustrated Meng Xun is going to Guzang? The bald man's face changed drastically.
"King Qiyu, Frustrated Qu Mengxun is heading in the direction of Guzang."
"Good! All right! Frustrated Qu Mengxun escaped from Rile City by luck, lived in the world secretly, and dared to seek my aunt, it is really bold! The bald man gritted his teeth angrily and said.
"Father, how is this good?"
"If Fuqu Mengxun wants to take Gu Zang directly, he must pass through Yan Ran City, pass the order, and kill Yan Ran with the whole army tonight."
"Father, is this too hasty?" Bald Tiger asked in a low voice.
The bald Wei Tan shook his head and said, "No." The soldiers are very fast, and I am afraid that I didn't expect that my Daliang warriors would take advantage of the night to kill. Since Guzang City fell into the hands of the Huns, this king can't sleep day and night, and now Guzang City is in the hands of my Da Liang, and Frustrated Qu Mengxun wants to seek my Guzang has no intention of being a fool. ”
"The child obeys." The bald tiger said as he bowed.
Under the order of the bald Wei Tan, the army of Wuwei Nanliang Camp assembled and prepared to kill Yanran City, which belongs to Wuxing County and is located north of Wuwei.
"The whole army obeys the order, goes out with the king, and whoever can take the head of the frustrated Qu Mengxun will be rewarded with ten thousand gold." The bald man pulled out his scimitar and roared loudly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The roar of the entire Wuwei Nanliang camp shook the sky.
The bald Wei Tan gave an order, and more than 30,000 Nanliang iron horsemen rode north to Yanran, and the faces of the Nanliang soldiers and horses showed a fierce look in the night.
"Newspaper. King Qiyu, the scout of the Hun thieves was found in front, and the Hun camp was not far from here. ”
"All the soldiers listened to the order, and the frustration of Meng Xun was in front of them, and they went in with the king."
