Chapter 177: Longyou Changes
"Shuo heard that there was a soldier in Hou Qin, named Wang Maide, who was resourceful, but I don't know if it is Your Excellency?"
"I didn't expect that even Dadu Hu had heard of the name, and he was resourceful and didn't dare to be it, but he was a little clever. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Hehe, Your Excellency is not clever, if I guess correctly, a series of actions of Hou Qin at the moment are probably all from Er's hands."
"Where the duty lies, it has to be done."
"Hmph, you said it lightly, a last resort, let the Hexi Army's half-moon plan be ruined."
"Tell me, what should Ponduhu do with you?"
"Listen to the punishment of most of the capitals." In the face of Wei Shuo's aggressive attitude, Wang Maide was calm and calm, and did not panic at all.
"Okay, dare to be a brave man! Someone comes, and he is taken down and beheaded for public display. β
"Lord, wait." Seeing that Wang Maide was about to be killed, a person suddenly flashed next to him to stop Wei Shuo.
"Monson, what are you doing here?"
"The lord is good, the king has participated in the military first, but each is his master, what is the crime?"
"If he is killed by the lord because of this, he will be harmed by the lord in the future, and the name of the man who cannot tolerate others will spread all over the world."
"Who else will dare to come to Hexi at that time?"
"Why don't you ask the capital to pardon the king's sin of joining the army, and allow him to make meritorious service for his crimes."
"In this way, not only will it not damage the reputation of the lord, but Hexi will add a great talent, why not do it without the best of both worlds?"
"Well, Meng Xun's words are also reasonable, I don't know if I am willing to surrender to me if I join the army?"
Looking at the performance of the two monarchs and ministers, how could Wang Maide still not understand the intention?
What's more, he originally intended to join Hexi, so he took refuge in Wei Shuo.
"The king of the ministers, Maide, meet the lord."
"Oh, Mr. Shuode, I am very happy to repel Yao Xing and take all the places of Shangjun."
β¦β¦
After cleaning up the battlefield, Wei Shuo and Fuqu Mengxun, Kang Long, Wang Maide and others returned to Dailai City with the captives.
Since then, the battle of Shangjun has finally ended with the complete victory of the Hexi army.
The battle lasted a full month from the beginning of the Qianghu rebellion to the end of Yao Xing's southern retreat.
It didn't last too long, and neither side used up its national strength, so it was a local conflict at best.
The final result was that after tens of thousands, the Qin army was defeated, more than 20,000 people were killed and surrendered, and the rebellious Qianghu was swept away.
Although the scale of this battle was not large, it had a far-reaching impact, marking the strategic exchange of offense and defense between Hexi and Later Qin.
Hexi has completely gained the upper hand, the original Shangjun hometown is owned by Hexi, the defense line from the Great Wall to the south to the south of Fushi City, including Gaonu, Fushi several cities on the plateau occupied by the Hexi army.
Then the whole country of Qin was shaken, and the people were terrified, and Yao Chang urgently dispatched tens of thousands of elites from the west to reinforce the north and Feng Yi.
Even had to give up the plan to encircle and annihilate Fu Deng, so that Fu Deng could continue to survive.
However, although Hexi won the war, the local garrison suffered heavy losses and was temporarily unable to continue southward.
At this time, there was a shocking change in Longyou.
β¦β¦
At the beginning of August, the news of the Qianghu rebellion and Yao Xing's northward movement reached Western Qin.
Shuo Fangqiang's Hu rebellion and Later Qin's northward march gave Western Qin a shot in the arm, making him think that it was time to go south to Longyou.
He was even in the mood to joke with the important ministers of Western Qin's civil and military affairs, "This time, the widow can be regarded as sleeping and eating." β
Then the beggar returned to send the beggar Yizhou as the general, and the beggar and the more questioning were classified as the deputies, commanding 30,000 cavalry, and going south to Longyou.
Knowing that Western Qin was coming, Yang Ding, the king of Qiuchi, left Sima Shaoqiang to guard the rear, and he personally led 20,000 horses to the north to meet the attack.
Qifu Yizhou is the general of the Western Qin, and he does not wait for the convergence of the two departments of Qifu Kezhen and Yue Qiangui, and he is a pioneer in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, it happened to collide head-on with Yang Ding's main force in Pingchuan.
As a result, when the two armies faced each other, Qifu Yizhou was defeated by Yang Ding, so that his two fists were defeated by four hands, and he was defeated and fled.
Upon learning of the defeat of Qifu Yizhou, the two departments of Qifu Kezhen and Yue Zhigui stopped one after another, fearing the might of Yang Ding's troops and deliberately withdrawing from the army.
Only the army Sima Zhai Yu drew his sword, made a generous statement, and urged him to continue south.
"My king Shenwu Xiongjie, created a foundation in Longyou, fought in the east and west, was invincible, and shocked Qin and Liang Zhuzhou."
"The general is in the position of marshal with the clan, and he should do his best to serve the country."
"Although the Yizhou Department is defeated, but the other two armies are still unscathed, why don't you go to the rescue and retreat?"
"If you retreat like this, what face will the general have to go back to see the king?"
"At the end of Qin, when the world was in turmoil, the overlord Xiang Yu killed Qingzi to stabilize the Chu State, and Hu Jian killed the prison army to establish a meritorious reputation, I don't know if the general has ever heard of these allusions? It is true that Yu can not be compared with the ancients, but how dare he forget the righteousness of Xiang Yu? β
"If the general insists on going his own way, can't you follow the example of the ancients and kill the general?!"
When he was begging for Ke Zhen, he was frightened by Zhai Yu's words, looking at the other party holding a sword and having a beard, he didn't dare to say anything if he wanted to withdraw from the army.
After a long time, Begging Fu Kezhen was slightly embarrassed and said: "The reason why Ben General didn't order to rescue Begging Yizhou at the beginning is that I don't know if everyone is of the same heart just now!" Now Sima's words made Zai Mao pause, and there was no doubt about it. β
"Besides, if you don't save each other, you will definitely be dealt with by the king's military law when you go back, how can I not know the stakes?"
Although it is somewhat true of what he said, the other party's ability to express his stance and continue to march also made Zhai Yu feel at ease.
At that moment, he led the cavalry to intercept Yang Ding, and ordered someone to notify Yue to return and beg Yizhou, and invited the two to march together.
Next, Qifu Kezhen led the army into battle, and Qifu Yizhou and Yue Zhigui also waved their troops forward, and the tripartite cooperation really defeated Yang Ding's soldiers and horses.
In this battle, the Western Qin generals killed Yang Ding and more than 17,000 people below, and took advantage of the situation to occupy Longxi and Tianshui counties, and the territory was more than doubled.
The killing of Yang Ding greatly damaged Qiu Chi's national strength, and he could no longer give Fu Deng strong support, and then the former Qin slowly went to extinction.
After Yang Ding's death, his cousin Yang Sheng succeeded him as the king of Qiuchi, but only Wudu and Yinping counties remained under his jurisdiction.
In order to stabilize the situation at home and abroad, Yang Sheng successively claimed vassal status to the Western Qin, Later Qin, and Eastern Jin.

In a house in Dailai City, Wei Shuo was discussing with Cui Hao, Fuqu Mengxun, and Wang Maide.
After the news of the great victory of the Western Qin Southern Expedition reached Shuofang, Wei Shuo felt a burst of regret and regretted that he could not intervene in it and missed the opportunity to seize the 'Henan Land'.
"Alas, it's a pity, if it weren't for the big battle with Hou Qin just now, it wouldn't have allowed Xi Qin to easily get Longxi and Tianshui."
"Hahaha, if you want me to say that the lord is too greedy, he is not satisfied with taking the county."
was teased by Cui Hao for being greedy, Wei Shuo was not ashamed, but said with a heartfelt voice: "If you don't dominate the world, how can Shuo be content?" β
"Hahaha, the lord has great ambitions, which is gratifying, but he must act step by step, and he should not underestimate the enemy."
"What can the West Qin do in the south to take Longxi and Tianshui? As long as the lord manages Shuofang and Hexi well, Xiqin is not worried. β
"Of course, Shuo knows that it is not necessary to worry about begging for a return, but he is just a little unwilling."
"I think how much effort did you and I put in to subdue it? It's a pity that it didn't come in handy in the end. β
"Hmph, if it weren't for the war in Shangjun, maybe we would have captured Jincheng at this moment."
"I can't say that, without the outbreak of the war in Shangjun, the beggar may not have the courage to march south."
"That's right, forget it, don't talk about this, what do you think about the situation in Longyou?"
Although Wei Shuo spoke to the three of them, his eyes were always on Wang Maide, this newly recruited talent.
Others may not know Wang Maide's strength, but he can't be clear? is definitely a great talent buried by history.
In history, Wang Maide has played a limited number of appearances, but he is amazing enough.
"My lord, the minister and Cui Tingshi have the same opinion, it is not appropriate to send troops to Western Qin for the time being, it is better to watch from the wall first."
"Anyway, if there is any internal response, once there is any wind and grass in the future, the army can directly pass through the territory of the Dolan tribe from the Hetao and kill Jincheng in one fell swoop."
"Well, since everyone says so, let's put it aside for the time being."
Wei Shuo also realized that he was in a hurry, as Cui Hao said, the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time, how can the enemy be destroyed if he is destroyed?
"The lord is wise."
"At present, Shuo Fang has been initially stabilized, and Shuo plans to return to Guzang in the near future, and Shuo Fang will entrust you with full authority in the future."
"Please rest assured, there are subordinates here, and there is no need to worry about it."
A few days later, Wei Shuo took his two wives and embarked on the journey back to the west with Cui Hong, Cui Xiao, Wang Maide and others.
