Chapter 292: Response

Liangzhou came to attack, and as soon as Liu Yuan received the news, he couldn't sit still and gathered to discuss matters.

"Chen Cang's guard general Zhang Ji came to report that Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou had raised troops, tens of thousands of cavalry troops, menacing, and the soldiers were pointing directly at Sanfu!" In the Xuan Room Hall, Liu Yuan's face was a little ugly.

In the hall, in Chang'an City, Hu Xiawenchen's military generals gathered together, very complete, Xu Bu Chiyi, Liu Qiu, Wu Huali, Li Ru, Lu Bu and others were all there, and Jia Xu was also called to feel the atmosphere of Liu Yuan's deliberations.

After that, Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Shi Sun Rui, Zhong Xuan, and other Hanchen were also present, looking at the angry Liu Yuan, they all buried their heads and did not speak.

Pointing out Qiu Linju, Liu Yuan fired at him: "Ma Teng and others, such a big move, why didn't they notice it in advance?" The enemy will knock on the level, will invade Sanfu, and the lonely side will receive the news. What are the spies of my Xia Kingdom in Liangzhou doing? ”

"King!" Being reprimanded so harshly by Liu Yuan, Qiu Linju's face turned a little pale, and he trembled and said: "This matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and he has relaxed his news spying on Liangzhou, and asked the king to punish him!" ”

Without finding a reason, Chu Lintu simply knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Enough! Don't talk nonsense! Liu Yuan glanced at Qiu Linju, tried his best to calm down, and asked, "What is the current situation of the Liangzhou thief army, get up and report it to your lords!" ”

"No!" Qiu Linju got up, almost without thinking, and told the enemy: "Ma vacated Wuwei, Han Sui went out of Jincheng, Song Yang went out of Longxi, and Hu Zhen converged in Hanyang, and brought more Liangzhou Qiang, Hu, and Di people, and gathered 60,000 or 70,000 people. Now it is stationed in Hanyang Ji County, and it can move troops to Dongkou at any time. ”

Hearing that there were sixty or seventy thousand people in the Liangzhou coalition army, the important ministers of the Xia State present couldn't help frowning. Now the Xia army has a lot of troops in Guanzhong, even after the previous disarmament, there are more than 60,000 elites.

But after all, it is a newly seized land, and the four places in the passes, the guards of the various passes and the turmoil that arises from time to time occupy half of the troops. Under the strong control of the Xia army, Sanfu finally "stabilized", and the Liangzhou army came and immediately broke this fragile stability.

"Ma Teng! Han Sui! Liu Yuan's eyes were cold: "I wanted them to live longer, but they sent them to the door!" ”

Yongliang is one, Liu Yuan will not allow the forces of Liangzhou to threaten the rear of Guanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui, these people, in their previous lives, have been in the northwest for decades, and they cannot be underestimated. If it is left unchecked, sooner or later it will become an obstacle for Liu Yuan to move his troops.

Pacifying Liangzhou, eliminating the worries of Guanzhong and the West, and ensuring the safety of Sanfu are Liu Yuan's established next moves. It's just that now, Ma Teng and the others came too early, and in Liu Yuan's plan, it will be delayed for half a load to a year, and when Guanzhong is completely stable and the soldiers are sufficient, they will move westward again. Now, the other generation of Dongkou caught Liu Yuan off guard.

In fact, after Ma Teng first heard that Liu Yuan had gone to Chang'an, he had already begun to contact and wanted to come east quickly. It's a pity that there are many large and small forces in Liangzhou, and they attack each other, especially Ma Teng and Han Sui, who are the most seriously competitive.

Under mutual suspicion, it is not so simple to quickly turn enemies into friends and advance eastward together. Recruiting Qiang and Hu, contacting Song Yang, and dragging it out for a long time, they finally reached an agreement and joined forces to attack.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui, Lone has heard about it, this Song Yanggu really doesn't know much about it!" Liu Yuan muttered, looking at Li Ru and Jia Xu, the meaning was obvious, he wanted the two of them to explain.

Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he took the initiative to get up and said, "King, Song Yang, also known as Song Jian, is Qiang Hu. In the first year of Zhongping, he participated in the Liangzhou Rebellion. After being defeated by Dong Zhuo, he occupied the border of Longxi, proclaimed himself the king of Heshou Ping Han in Caohan, changed the yuan, and placed a hundred officials! In the chaos of Liangzhou over the years, the power has grown a lot. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru's tone was a little disdainful. When Liu Yuan heard this, he also said contemptuously: "Jumping beam clown!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is here, the Liangzhou army is menacing, how should Lone deal with it?"

Li Ru was about to talk, but was stopped by Liu Yuan, his eyes staring at Jia Xu.

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth flashed with a wry smile, Liu Yuan wanted him to make a plan. Raising his body, he said to Liu Yuan: "King! Ma Han and the others, the timing of choosing to move troops is not good, if it is two months earlier, with the situation in Guanzhong, it will definitely be able to pose a huge threat to the king. Now that it was winter, and after a while, the weather would get colder and colder, and it would not be conducive to battle, so the king only needed to send an army to defend against the enemy. ”

"The enemy rode tens of thousands of paces, and with the barrenness of Liangzhou, it was impossible to support such a large army and fight for a long time. As long as they run out of food, they will retreat without a fight! ”

"There are a lot of cavalry troops in Liangzhou, what if they take advantage of the iron cavalry to go deep into Fufeng and plunder the counties?" Liu Yuan asked.

"The benefits of the cool ride, can it be compared to the king's hundred battles summer ride" Jia Xu smiled faintly.

"Huh!" Liu Yuan also smiled: "Wen He is really knowledgeable!" ”

Looking at Liu Yuan's enlightened appearance, Jia Xu sat down and sighed secretly, he believed that Liu Yuan was only afraid that he had a plan in his heart.

"Even according to what Wen He said, the thieves ride tens of thousands of steps, and they must be taken seriously." Liu Yuan glanced at the ministers present and asked Xu Bu Chiyi: "Now, you discuss, how many troops are available in Chang'an?" ”

Xu Bu Chiyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Liu Yuan: "The garrison of Chang'an must not be relaxed, in addition to the necessary guards, the camp outside the city can send up to 20,000 people to fight!" ”

"King! The minister is willing to lead the army westward to meet the enemy! Seeing Liu Yuan's thinking face, Xu Bu Chiyi took the initiative to ask for his life.

Liu Yuan motioned for Xu Bu Chiyi to sit down and looked at Wu Huali on his side: "Lonely and you ride 20,000 steps, can you defeat the tens of thousands of thieves in Liangzhou?" ”

Facing Liu Yuan's gaze, Wu Huali was a little surprised in his heart, seeing that Xu Bu Chiyi asked for his life, he was the commander of this army. Listen to Liu Yuan's meaning, this is to use yourself.

Not daring to slack off, Wu Huali got up and said: "The minister doesn't dare to guarantee to break the enemy, but he still has confidence in blocking them!" ”

Wu Huali's conservative answer made Liu Yuan feel relieved. Glancing at the people below, he ordered in a deep voice: "Lone Order, with Wu Huali as the general of Liang, lead the Chang'an battalion with 10,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, plus 5,000 Dongqiang cavalry, and march west to meet the Liangzhou thief army." Pingxi General Liu Qiu, Huwei General Lu Buzuozhi! Tan Zhe, you lead your beggar to ride and go together! ”

"No!" The four of them immediately got up and took orders.

"I don't want you to defeat the thief army, as long as the enemy is outside Fufeng. I don't want to be alone, in the territory of Fufeng, there will be a Liangzhou thief army! Liu Yuan said coldly.

"Xu Huang!" Sweeping to Xu Huang at the back of the seat, Liu Yuan's eyes flashed and he called.

"The last general!"

"Lone plus you are the Taishou of the North, and the remaining Qiang people in Chang'an will be the commander of you alone, and they will attack the two counties of Beidi and Anding to the north, and threaten the Liangzhou thief army from the side!"

"No!" Xu Huang's face was calm, and he also got up to answer the order.
