On the same day, after Tian Feng and Cheng Li consulted, they wrote to the imperial court in the name of conquering the northern general's mansion that Xianbei was assembling troops and there was a possibility of a large-scale southward movement.

The next day, Tian Feng and Cheng Li returned to their respective stations.

Xiang Rong's marriage was also confirmed, and the date of the wedding was set for March of the following year.

In addition to money, Shu brocade, cotton cloth, fine wine, etc., Liu Wei also asked Gao Shun to provide 2,000 war horses, Zhuo County and Guangyang County to buy another 2,000 horses, and each of the two counties to form a cavalry force of 3,000 people.

Subsequently, Gao Shun transferred to Juyong Guancheng, released 6,000 medium horses, and sent people to Jixian and Zhuoxian; And return to Taoyuan Fort via Shanggu County.

It is said that the Taishou of Hedong County and the envoy of the Xiongnu Zhonglang will Zhou Fei and the eldest princess arrive in Anyi at the end of October.

Xu Huang and Guan Hai had already arrived and were waiting for Zhou Fei's arrival; The 5,000 cavalry sent by Gao Shun and the families of Wuhuan also arrived in Anyi, and Guan Yu had already placed the families of the Wuhuan cavalry in a position bordering the Xiongnu according to Zhou Fei's letter.

Zhou Fei first made adjustments to the army.

Guan Yu was to make the Xiongnu lieutenant generals, divided into 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry and 4,000 Han cavalry, divided into ten divisions, led by ten middle-level military attachés, each of which had a tun Wuhuan cavalry and four Han cavalry; Zhou Cang is Guan Yu's deputy.

Xu Huang was the Taishou of the upper county, and Song Xian was his deputy, and he would serve as the lieutenant of the county in the future, and he would be divided into 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry and 3,000 Han cavalry, as well as 3,000 Han infantry.

Guan Hai was the lieutenant of Hedong County, leading the remaining 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry, 2,000 Han cavalry and 3,000 Han infantry; The cavalry and infantry guards were also led by two mid-ranking generals.

In the fifth year of Emperor Yonghe of Han Shun (140 years), the frozen Qiang invaded the county land, and the county seat lived in Xiayang (now Hancheng, Shaanxi). In the autumn of the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (184), Qianghu took advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty to plunder Shangjun and Sanfu areas.

The situation in Shangjun is complicated, including the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Qiang, as well as the Han and Qiuzi people who are staying; The Xiongnu, Huwuhuan and Qiang tribes were divided into many tribes, and they fought against each other for pastures, livestock and population.

Subsequently, Zhou Fei convened a military meeting.

Xu Huang is a native of Hedong County, originally a county official, and he knows more about Qianghu, and feels that Qianghu's strength is too strong, and he can't recover the entire Shangjun with the troops he has assigned, so he suggested: "Junhou, Huang feels powerless to recover Shangjun alone, and hopes to be assisted by the Guan Chief." ”

Zhou Fei explained: "Hehe, Gongming is too worried, even if our three cavalry are exhausted, it will be very difficult to recover Shangjun, at this moment, we must first absorb the Wuhuan people, strengthen our own strength, and then recover Shangjun county by county." ”

Xu Huang said: "Junhou, if this is the case, Huang suggests that Huang lead the people of the headquarters to recover the old county to govern Xiayang City in the early stage, and then recover Zuo Fengyi's Haoyang, Linjin and Yaxian, and use this as a base to welcome the prince across the river; The chief of the department led the men and horses of the headquarters to take advantage of the territory of the Huns, and went to collect the Wuhuan people west of Shuoshui in Hexi County, and then the three cavalry jointly attacked Shangjun, the first step was to recover the area south of Gaonu County, and then go north to Fushi County, and finally recover the whole territory. ”

Gaonu County is the Yan'an of later generations.

"Okay, let's follow this step, Gongming and Zizhong began to prepare, and three days later they sent troops to recover Xiayang City."

"Yes, Marquis!"

Zhou Fei explained: "Gongming, after recovering Zuo Fengyi's territory, build the road as soon as possible, first of all, it must be connected with the straight road, in order to facilitate supplies, the large army will go north along the straight road." ”

The straight road is a military avenue built in the Qin Dynasty, from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, all with loess tamping, a total length of 736 kilometers, is the main passage connecting the Guanzhong Plain and the Hetao area.

"Yes, Prince."

Song Xian added: "Prince, we can contact the Qiuzi people in the north to join the war and fight Qianghu together. ”

Zhou Fei praised: "This method is good, but the road is too far, and it is blocked by Qianghu, and it is temporarily impossible to contact, and when we recover the southern part of Shangjun and border with Qiuci County, we can unite with the Qiuci people to send troops to attack the Xiongnu Youxian King and Beidi Qiang in the west; Do you have any suggestions? ”

Guan Yu suggested: "Prince, we can also use the military strength of the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangbu, the Wuhuan people, the Qiang people and the Xiongnu Youxian Wangbu are all enemies of the Zuoxianwang Ministry, if the Zuoxianwang Department wants to expand the population and pastures, it must be done with the help of the strength of our Han Dynasty, they must be very willing to send troops, otherwise their pastures will also be threatened." ”

"Haha, Yun Chang is right, the lord once made this suggestion, there are Huns as a free thug, why don't we make good use of it? Today, I will send an envoy to the Zuoxian Wang's department to negotiate the matter of borrowing and jointly sending troops. ”

Xu Huang suggested again: "Prince, our existing forces will not be able to hold even if we recover Shangjun, Huang suggests that we should continue to recruit troops, I don't know what arrangements the lord has for this?" ”

Zhou Fei smiled apologetically: "Hehe, this is my mistake, Gongming can recruit troops on his own, the maximum number is cavalry and infantry 10,000 people, and the excess can be sent to Hedong County." Whether it is a stranded Han Chinese or a mature alien race, as long as the conditions are right and loyal to the Han Dynasty, they can be recruited as soldiers, most of the people there are good at riding and archery, and after a little training after recruitment, they are excellent cavalry; Yun Chang can also recruit troops appropriately, and the cavalry does not exceed 10,000 people; If there is a shortage of junior officers, they can apply for support; However, I declare in advance that we must not lower the standard of conscription without permission, and that we would rather have a shortage than an abundance. ”

Xu Huang and Guan Yu were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Junhou." ”

"After Yun Chang arrived at the station, the logistics baggage was supported by the lord from Taoyuan Fort; The logistical baggage required by Komeito was supported by Hedong County. ”

"Yes, Prince."

Xu Huang asked again: "Junhou, after recovering the four counties of Zuo Fengyi, will you return Zuo Fengyi?" ”

"Haha, the place we recovered will be our territory from now on, and Xia Yang has been the George County ruler of Shangjun for decades, how can we return it? Moreover, I intend that Gongming will continue to set up the county in Xiayang from now on, and Zizhong will lead an army alone, garrison Fushi County, and control the northern counties of Shangjun. ”

Fushi County is located in the south of Yulin City.

"Yes, Prince."

Song Xian was overjoyed, and finally led an army alone, and Fushi County is located in the north of Shangjun, surrounded by foreign races, and war is absolutely indispensable, which is a good opportunity to make contributions.

Zhou Fei continued: "According to the main bus generation, uncontrolled alien races are not allowed to exist within the jurisdiction of Shangjun, except for Qiuci County, whether it is the Qiang, Xiongnu or Wuhuan people, those who dare to resist are all killed, only the dead Hu people are good Hu people, the ripened alien races can be made to join the army, the families of the soldiers can continue to live in the upper county, and the alien races who do not have family members to join the army are all transported to Hedong County and sold as slaves. ”

"Yes, Marquis!" Xu Huang was overjoyed, in this way, it would be convenient for him to manage, either kill, join the army, or sell as a slave.

Zhou Fei finally arranged: "Since Captain Guan is not familiar with the northwest environment and military, this time he will lead all those who remain in Anyi to ensure the stability of the rear and ensure the supply of logistics materials. ”

"Yes, Prince." Guan Hai immediately responded.

Subsequently, Zhou Fei sent a middle-level civil official as an envoy to Lishi to hold talks with King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

Xu Huang and Guan Yu prepared to send troops and logistics, and sent people to Fenyin County in advance to renovate the wharf, prepare boats, and prepare for crossing the river. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
