At the beginning of the first year of Long An, as the Hexi Army took the initiative to stop the offensive, the situation in Guanlong was restored to stability again.

However, discerning people know in their hearts that after the fall of Anding, the territory of Later Qin has further shrunk, and the future prospects have become more and more bleak.

While Hou Qin hid in the corner and licked his wounds, Hexi was celebrating the victory of stability.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Zuo Sima Wang Zhen ordered Tan Daoji and Huan Zhen to stay in stability, and he personally led the main force of the army.

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, inside and outside Guzang, laughter and laughter, and crowds.

Hundreds of people crowded on both sides of the straight road outside the city, enthusiastically greeting the triumphant soldiers.

At noon, a team of people came on the straight road, and the first one was the general Wang Zhenxi, followed by Xue Tong, Wei Daofu, Yang Fosong and others.

In an instant, the whole team was drowned out by laughter on both sides.

Everyone scrambled to witness the demeanor of the soldiers, and the cheers came and went, wave after wave, resounding in the sky.

Wang Zhenwei smiled, rode on his horse and waved to the crowd frequently, causing people to echo in bursts.

Suddenly, from afar, Wang Zhenevil saw the figure of the protector of the capital.

Suddenly, the general, who had just made a great feat, immediately jumped off his horse and strode towards Wei Shuo.

And Wei Shuo saw Wang Zhenwei coming, and he also smiled and stepped forward.

"The last general will see the Dadu Protector."

said that Wang Zhenwei was going to pay a big salute, but he was helped up by two strong hands halfway.

Wei Shuo looked up and down, and said from the bottom of his heart: "This time I successfully won stability, and Qing should be the first credit." ”

"The lord has a reputation, and the minister doesn't dare to be it."

"The reason why the battle of stability was successful was because of the prestige of the lord, and the night was tied up when they heard it; The second relied on the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy. ”

"As for a certain family...... But what is the reason for making a little contribution? ”

Being proud of one's own merits has always been the way to take trouble, how can Wang Zhenwei not know this?

In the face of Daduhu's heartfelt praise, he can only be modest and humble, so as not to cause trouble.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo bowed his head slightly and patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Qing is worthy of being a great talent, with the style of an ancient famous minister, and he is also my big tree general!"

The so-called General Dashu is Feng Yi, a general under the command of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He ranks seventh among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and is a model of non-arrogance among ancient generals.

Coincidentally, Feng Yi was also an important contributor to Emperor Guangwu's Liu Xiu's pacification of Guan Long.

Wei Shuo compared Wang Zhenwei to the famous general Feng Yi, which was both a compliment and a spur.

He himself is willing to be Han Guangwu, and he also hopes that Wang Zhenwei will learn from Feng Yi, and since then, the monarch and the minister will get along, and the beginning and the end will be good.

And Wang Zhenwei obviously understood the intentions of most of the capitals, and also let out bursts of hearty laughter from the bottom of his heart, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Then, Wei Shuo picked up Wang Zhenwei and walked towards the city with a group of civil and military personnel.

That night, most of the guards had a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the achievements of the front-line soldiers.

At the beginning of the lanterns, all the meritorious soldiers and celebrities gathered in the Wei Mansion.

The servants put the delicacies on the table one by one, and compared with previous years, there were more seafood products in the delicacies this year.

Thanks to the development of the distant-water fishing industry, Hexi has been provided with abundant marine food.

Nowadays, canned fish has long been rampant in Hexi, although the taste is not very good, it is the first choice of meat for many ordinary people.

At the beginning of the banquet, Wei Shuo took the lead as usual, and first toasted the fallen soldiers in the battle.

Everyone raised the wine bottle, saluted from afar, and then poured the wine on the ground to comfort the robe under the nine springs.

The feast lasted until late, and almost everyone was drunk.

……

After a brief celebration, the people up and down Hexi began to devote all their energy to the upcoming battle of Guanzhong.

In the first year of Long'an, in the second half of the first month, Wei Shuo once again convened a joint meeting of the military and the government to discuss the matter of going to Guanzhong.

Although Hexi suffered a natural disaster last year, the losses were greatly reduced due to the timely relief and appropriate response measures.

Now after more than half a year of recuperation, although it has not completely recovered, it has not affected the Guanzhong War.

At the beginning of the meeting, Jiang Ji of the Joint Logistics Division reported to Dadu Hu on the preparation of materials.

"My lord, just after the New Year, the Joint Logistics Division began to mobilize materials to Qin, Shuo, and the three prefectures, and it is expected that the deployment of materials will be completed in mid-February."

"Mid-February? When is the big war expected to start? Don't delay business, right? ”

"Don't delay, it won't be until late February that the Hexi Army will launch a feint attack in Longyou, Shangjun, and Anding."

"Well, the Joint Logistics Division did a good job."

Wei Shuo sat on it, bowing his head slightly, very satisfied with the work of the Joint Logistics Division.

He glanced around and said with a smile: "At the moment, the food and grass are not worried, and the deployment of troops will also be in place, who will talk about the deployment of troops next?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Maide, the military secretary, stood up without giving in.

He picked up the bamboo pole, walked to a huge map, and explained the specific strategy to everyone in detail.

"In addition to the danger of the four stops, there is also a ferry port, which is also an important passage in and out of Guanzhong, that is, Pujin Ferry."

"And the important town that guards the Pujin ferry is Pusaka, and now Pusaka is still owned by Hedong Liugong."

"This place is bordered by the Yellow River in the west, which is not only a springboard for entering Guanzhong from the east of the river, but also a bridgehead for entering the east of the river from Guanzhong."

"If Tongguan is the main gate of the east of the Guandong, then Pujindu can be said to be the side gate of the Guanzhong."

"Historically, whenever there is a confrontation between the East and the West, once the two sides are stuck at Tongguan, they must try to find an opportunity from the side gate of Pusaka to open up the situation."

"And the focus of Hexi's strategy on Guanzhong should be how to sneak attack Guanzhong from Pusaka."

"Do you have any specific strategies for joining the military division?"

"Back to the lord, the military division only provides the general strategic direction, and the specific planning is the responsibility of the generals below."

"In addition, just in case, during the expedition to Guanzhong, the minister proposed to transfer the six-compartment foot cavalry to Jiuyuan City and Yanmen Pass."

"Okay, just follow the advice of Maide."

At the end of the meeting, Wei Shuo earnestly admonished: "Guanzhong is different from the northwest, and the situation is relatively complicated. ”

"In addition to the grievances and entanglements between Hu and Han, there are many Guan Long families involved."

"The Guanlong family is a little stronger than the Longyou and Hexi families, and in order to avoid forcing them to the side of Hulu, the family must be appeased temporarily."

Everyone here is smart and clever, so they naturally understand the deep meaning of the words.

Although most of the guards hate the family's repeated attitudes, in order to win Guanzhong, they have to pinch their noses and cooperate with the family.

It can also be seen from this that Dadu Escort Shuo attaches great importance to this battle in Guanzhong.

Although Guanzhong has experienced many wars, it is not as rich as Hexi at present, and it is better than the wild land outside the Saiwai.

However, although Guanzhong is tired, its foundation is there.

Wei Shuo believes that as long as he takes a little rest, he will be able to regain the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Not to mention, after taking Guanzhong, Hexi can not only spy on the rich Central Plains such as Sizhou and Yuzhou.

You can even go south through Chencang Road, passing through Hanzhong and Shu.

Once Hanzhong and Shu are taken, they will become a strong Qin, and they are not far from dominating the world.

……

In Chang'an, in the palace of the Later Qin Dynasty, the crown prince Yao Hong was discussing the military situation with Yao Xian, Yao Min and others.

Due to the urgency of the matter, even Yin Wei, who has been ill for a long time, was also present.

If it weren't for Yao Shuode's heavy responsibility, it would be inconvenient to leave Yongcheng, and I am afraid that he would also be recalled to Chang'an for deliberations.

With Yao Shuode leading the army to return to the west, he finally blocked the southward advance of the Hexi Army, and temporarily stabilized the situation on the front line.

At the same time, under the pressure of Yao Shuodewei, the Hu people of the various tribes, who were originally panicked, swore allegiance to Chang'an again.

However, at present, the military pressure on Guanlong is still very high.

The Hexi garrisons of Shangjun, Anding County, and Longyou were like boulders pressing on the hearts of the Later Qin people, making everyone breathless.

"Lone just got the news." Yao Hong glanced at everyone and said.

"A few days ago, the Dadu Guards held a military meeting in Guzang to discuss the strategy of destroying Qin."

"However, due to the strict precautions in Hexi, it is impossible to find out the details for the time being."

"To put it bluntly, my Great Qin will face the danger of destroying the country next."

"Lonely ask you, who has a way to deal with it, please don't hesitate to give advice."

As soon as Yao Hong's voice fell, the scene suddenly fell into dead silence.

After the ranking, the ministers of Qin all looked at each other, and no one knew how to reply to the prince.

In the end, Yin Wei dragged the sick body and replied: "If there is no accident, after the beginning of spring, Hexi will invade Guanzhong on a large scale." ”

"Now that Hexi has the upper hand in an all-round way, I, the Qin State, are really powerless to confront it head-on."

"Originally, the Wei State was supposed to be my Great Qin reinforcement, but now Tuoba Jue is making every effort to plan south, and I am afraid that he will not intervene in the dispute in Guanzhong."

"Alas, at this point, what strategy is there to talk about besides desperate resistance?!"
