Chapter 197: Plotting against the Qiang people
When Western Qin was in full swing to send troops to rescue Nanliang, Wei Shuo stopped the army and Guangwu remained motionless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This move not only confused the enemy, but also the generals under his command did not know why.
Those with an anxious personality such as Kanglong, relying on their deep qualifications, and often guarding most of the guards, have an extraordinary relationship with themselves, so they boldly ask for war on behalf of the generals.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Wei Shuo on the grounds that the time had not come.
Kanglong is simple-minded, so he naturally can't figure out the trick.
But those who are as smart as Wang Zhen and Cui Hong have already guessed Wei Shuo's thoughts.
The reason why Wei Shuo did not move his troops was that in addition to the dangerous terrain of the Hehuang Valley and it was not suitable for attack, he also had the intention of surrendering.
The bald brothers, like Fuqu Mengxun, have been educated by the Han family since childhood, and the degree of sinicization is very deep.
If you change into Hanfu and tie your hair and crown it, you will think that they are Han heroes who are well versed in internal and external affairs.
Compared with the cunning, vicious, and unscrupulous beggar Qiangui father and son, the bald brother with a generous belly is obviously more liked by him.
Historically, under the care of the two elder brothers, the bald Dai Tan's status soared like a rocket.
It's just that the bald Wei Tan is unlucky, although Nan Liang has reached the peak in his hands, he has encountered two extremely strong opponents.
Under the repeated blows of Meng Xun and Hu Xiahe in the Northern Liang, the Southern Liang gradually declined.
In the end, the bald Wei Tan was also poisoned by his kindly adopted son-in-law, Qi Fu Chipan.
In addition, under the control of Lilugu and Wei Tan, Nanliang and the two brothers cooperate sincerely and become stronger and stronger.
Even if the Hexi Army has the advantage of troops, if you want to swallow Nanliang in one bite, I am afraid that you will have to pay a lot of price.
Wei Shuo didn't want to make a wedding dress for Western Qin in the end, so he was reluctant to send troops to Lianchuan Fort.
"Zhen evil, Uncle Xuan, Shuo doesn't want to have a hard time with Nan Liang, so as not to cheapen Xiqin, I don't know if the two gentlemen have a plan to teach me?"
"No wonder the lord refused the generals' request for orders, he originally wanted to take Nanliang without blood."
was ridiculed by Cui Hong, Wei Shuo couldn't help touching the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Both of them are far-reaching people, and they won't let someone down." ”
"Alas, the lord is so embarrassing!" Although Wang Zhenwei complained bitterly, the smile in the corner of his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.
"Don't laugh at evil, you must have a plan in your heart, let's talk about it quickly."
Looking at the two ministers who were joking, Cui Hong was thoughtful, he also wanted to see what Zuo Sima, who was known as his son, was capable of.
As far as he knows, among the important civil and military ministers in Hexi, there are three people who are most protected and relied on by the capital, namely Cui Hao, Song Xuan, and Wang Zhenxi.
Cui Hao is his son, he knows how much ability he has, and he is definitely a rare genius in the world.
And Song Xuan, not to mention, was the first staff to follow Wei Shuo.
Not only has he made outstanding achievements, but he has also been praised as 'my Xiao He' by the Dadu Protector many times, and has single-handedly created a strong and prosperous Hexi.
As for Wang Zhenxi, because of his literary and martial arts, Cui Hong didn't know much about him, but he only knew that this person was in a high position in Zuo Sima as soon as he came.
"If you want to force Nan Liang to surrender, you must push the bald brothers to a corner."
"What is a desperate situation? That is, there is turmoil inside, and there are no reinforcements outside. ”
"There is turmoil inside, but there are no reinforcements outside......"
"Hey, it's easy to say that there are no reinforcements outside, as long as you can manage to defeat the begging blazing rock, the reinforcements will go by themselves, but this civil strife ......"
Wei Shuo raised his head and glanced at Wang Zhenxi, frowned and said: "Nan Liang is not Hou Liang, the bald brothers are wise and decisive, and there is almost no possibility of turmoil in the country, even if you want to provoke fear, there is nowhere to start." ”
"No, the lord is wrong in what he said, you have ignored a very important ethnic group in the Hehuang Valley."
Cui Hong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but preemptively say: "Zuo Sima is referring to the Qiang people?" ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Xuan is really wise, and he is indeed a Qiang person."
"There are so many Qiang tribes, about one hundred and fifty people, but they have never been combined into a unified tribal alliance."
"It is precisely because of this that the Qiang people, who have a large population, can only be ruled by the Tuyuhun Khanate, Houliang, and Nanliang established by the Tuyuhun people, the Di people, and the Xianbei people."
"If you can successfully win the support of the Qiang people, the country of Nanliang will be in chaos."
"Hahaha, the town is a bad plan!"
……
Since the Xianbei people and the Di people invaded the Hehuang Valley one after another, the life of the Qiang people has become more and more difficult.
The originally rich and beautiful pastures and fields were snatched away by the Di people and the Xianbei people, and the Qiang people could only go far away from the mountains and old forests.
But even so, the Qiang people were still inevitably bullied by the Tuyuhun, Xianbei people, and Di people.
The so-called people think of returning to the poor, and the beautiful and rich valleys and mountains in the hometown of Hehuang have always been the home of the Qiang people's dreams.
Recently, I don't know when it began, there is a rumor that has begun to spread widely among the Qiang tribe.
The content of the article is that as long as the Qiang people assist the Hexi people to eliminate the Southern Liang and Houliang, most of the Qiang people will agree to settle in the Hehuang Valley.
If this rumor did not appear at the moment, it is estimated that the Qiang people were forced by the pressure of the Xianbei people and the Di people, and did not dare to make any changes.
But now most of the capital guards tens of thousands of troops in Shuotong went south, and won a war to gain broad military force, and shocked both sides of the river.
After hearing the news, hundreds of thousands of Qiang people became impatient, and after discussion, the tribal leaders decided to send an envoy to ask the bald and lilu to probe the other party's tone.
When the envoy arrived at Lianchuan Fort, he happened to meet the bald and lily deer who had just returned from the class.
The Qiang envoy assured the other party on the spot that he would never intrude on the pastures of the Xianbei people, and that the Qiang people would only engage in grazing on the wasteland.
Without waiting for the bald Li Lu Gu to react, the bald Wei Tan next to him immediately jumped up and shouted bad when he heard this.
Although the bald Wei Tan is a Xianbei person, because he has lived in Longyou for a long time, he understands the habits and thoughts of the Qiang people very well.
Once the Qiang people returned to their homeland, how could they obediently avoid the Xianbei pastures to graze? They must have something else in mind!
At this moment, the bald and Lilu Gu also realized that something was wrong, but there was still a trace of luck: maybe things are not so bad, as long as they send someone to comfort the Qiang people and persuade them not to move, maybe the situation can still be saved?
However, soon the bald Lugu realizes that he is wrong, and things become out of control.
The tribes of Xiqiang responded to the Hexi army on the grounds that the Xianbei people were oppressing the Qiang people, and forcibly crossed the Huangshui, and the black pressure was overwhelming, like wasps, locusts, and tides poured into Yunwu, Anyi, Linqiang, Ledu, and Xiping counties.
In the face of the full-scale riot of the Qiang people, the bald brothers sat on wax.
But they did not dare to forcibly suppress and drive the Qiang people, so they could only order the counties to strictly monitor the Xiqiang tribes first, and wait for the next order.
However, soon, the counties reported an even more terrible news to the bald brothers: the Qiang tribes, who had been constantly vendetta and did not share the sky, actually shook hands and made peace!
It turned out that after the Qiang people settled down in the Huangshui Valley, they saw the Hexi Army pressing the border, and they were no longer willing to submit to Xianbei.
The chieftain of the Xianling tribe immediately stood up and took the lead, and held an unexpected high-level meeting: more than 200 leaders of various tribes in Xiqiang were connected to resolve their grievances with each other, exchange hostages, make covenants, abandon previous suspicions, work together, and form a united front.
The scattered Xiqiang may not be as effective as a small country in the Western Regions, but the strength of the closely united Xiqiang Alliance will never be worse than that of the Xianbei people.
Intuition tells the bald brother that things are probably really big!
The bald Wei Tan said with a bitter face: "The younger brother has reason to suspect that this Xiqiang rebellion is inseparable from Hexi. ”
"It must be the Hexi people who secretly infiltrated the Xiqiang tribe and planned to cooperate with the outside to try to subvert the rule of Nanliang."
"If it were the situation in the past, we would still be able to take a long-term view and strangle the Qiang Alliance in the cradle."
"But now the situation is becoming more and more embarrassing, the subject country has rebelled, and now the only hope is Western Qin."
The bald Lilu was shocked when he heard this, and said with a pale face: "The situation is critical now, what should I do?" ”
"Now that things are clear, Hexi and Xiqiang have reached a secret agreement."
"We should take advantage of the fact that the two sides have not yet taken action, and immediately send rangers to patrol the border fortress, hoard grain and grass, and strengthen the defense."
"At the same time, actively send people to contact Western Qin, and first unite with Western Qin to repel the Hexi army."
"Without the support of Hexi, the Qiang people have nothing to worry about, they only need to divide and dissociate, and the alliance can be disintegrated."
Listening to his brother's advice, the bald deer sent an envoy to the beggar blazing rock again, urging him to go north as soon as possible.
However, what Nanliang didn't expect was that the original beggar blazing pan had just crossed the river north from Caohan, and was planning to pass through Yunwu (now Minhe) Nanshan to Lianchuan Fort, who knew that when he heard that Nanliang was in turmoil, he immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and wait and see.
As soon as the Western Qin army stopped, it not only made the bald brothers scold, but also disappointed Wei Shuo.
