Hou Qin suddenly raised troops to attack, so that Murong Yong could no longer care about the matter of cutting the land, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with everyone.
Shang Shufu shot Qu Zun's brows furrowed, and his hand was holding up the anxious report, his face full of puzzlement.
"King, it is said that Yao Chang has just died of illness, and the Qiang people should gather their wings and recuperate, why would they offend me Hedong for no reason?"
Li Xian, the secretary and supervisor, laughed when he heard this: "Without him, just do the opposite!" ”
"Yao Xing just wants to prove that he is as wise and martial as Yao Chang through foreign wars, so as to deter small people at home and abroad."
"Damn, it's really the jungle."
"Not only did the Hexi people force the widows to cut the land, but even the Qiang people also caught up to grab the territory."
Of course, Murong Yong has reason to be annoyed, and he doesn't know what happened recently, Xiyan is unlucky.
was first pressed to the ground by Murong and beaten, and finally relied on the efforts of Hexi and Northern Wei to save him, and only then did he get lucky to repel the invasion of Houyan.
Next, Hexi, who has always been regarded as a close ally by him, also showed his greed and forced Xiyan to cede the entire Xihe County.
At present, the matter of land cession has not been settled, and Later Qin invaded Hedong on a large scale.
"Wait a minute, how to deal with the Qin soldiers coming west?"
"Dare to ask the king, who is more threatening than Yao Xing or Murong Chui?"
"Naturally, it's Murong Chui."
"That's right, Murong Chui is strong, and he often has the heart to swallow Jin, which is really a problem for my henchmen."
"Today, Yao Xing crosses the river and rejuvenates the division, and his intention is only in the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong, and he will not think about taking all the land of the Three Jins."
"Therefore, the minister thinks that at present, he should also take precautions against Murong Chui first, and as for the defense of the western border, it can be handed over to the local government to deal with."
Listening to Li Xian's words, Murong Yong's face was very embarrassed.
He is not stupid, so he can naturally hear the meaning of Li Xian's words: as long as Yao Xing does not really want to destroy Xiyan, he can ignore it.
The so-called handing over to the local government is just another high-sounding way of abandoning the two counties of Hedong and Pingyang.
"Hedong is a strategic place, and Pingyang was once the land of Emperor Wei Longxing (Murong Chong was once the Taishou of Pingyang), how can it be said that it will be abandoned?"
"The king's words made the ministers sincerely afraid."
"Dare to ask the king, Jinxi Yan has not yet agreed to Hexi's request to cut land, if he transfers troops to the west at this time, in case Murong Chui takes advantage of the situation to sneak attack, how should he deal with it?"
Only then did Murong Yong react, yes, there was a fierce Murong Trai next to him who had not settled.
Not to mention that at this time, Xiyan is in conflict with Hexi because of the land cut, in case it is really as Li Xian said, then Xiyan is in danger.
"So, this land must be ceded to Hexi?"
"In the opinion of the ministers, this can ensure that the alliance with Hexi will not be dissolved."
Just when the Manchu Dynasty was sad about cutting the land, he saw Zhang Teng suddenly take a step forward.
"Your Majesty, as well as your colleagues, isn't it actually a good thing to cede Xihe to Hexi?"
What does Zhang Qing mean by this? Could it be that he is satirizing the widow? Murong Yong's face was gloomy, staring at Zhang Teng with a fierce look.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister, and listen to the minister's details."
"Now that Xiyan has strong enemies on both sides of the east and west, it is obviously impossible to deal with it on its own."
"Only by introducing Hexi as foreign aid can we hope to ensure the peace of the country."
"And the Xihe River is located north of Pingyang, once the Hexi army is stationed, it will definitely threaten the Qin army that is attacking the city and seizing land."
"At that time, in addition to dealing with the threat of the Hexi Army, Yao Xing may not have the leisure to plot against my Xiyan."
"As the saying goes: if two tigers fight, there must be an injury!"
"When the two sides fight each other, there may be a chance to regain lost ground in the future."
"Okay, the widow agreed to Hexi's request."
……
Knowing that Murong Yong had promised to cede Xihe County, Wei Shuo quickly ordered him to wait for the army to move south.
In the following period, the Hexi Army began to regain Xihe County strongly.
Xihe County refers to different generations, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the western border of Wei along the Yellow River, called Xihe, that is, in the present Jun County, Huaxian County and other places.
At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Wei took the land along the Yellow River in present-day Shaanxi and placed Xihe County, which was subject to the Yellow River between Shanxi and Shanxi, and the west bank was the West River.
During the Han Dynasty, Xihe County was precipitated from Shangjun, and the land was on both sides of the Jinshan Gorge of the Yellow River.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the northern part of Xihe County was obtained by Qianghu, and only a small part of the western Jin Dynasty remained, Zhizishi, which is now Fenyang, Shanxi Province.
In the third year of Xianning in the Western Jin Dynasty (277 years), Sima Bin, the king of Chen, changed the title of the king of Xihe to be stationed here, changed the county to the country, and changed the Xushi clan to Xicheng.
Compared with the 36 counties and vast territory of the Western Han Dynasty in the past, today's Xihe only has four counties under its jurisdiction.
And the counties are basically occupied by the Qianghu, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other Hu, and there are very few local Han people.
Although Murong Yong agreed to cede Xihe due to the situation, after all, he was angry in his heart.
He then secretly gave instructions to incite the Hu people of the Xihe tribes to rebel when ordering the Yan army to withdraw.
As a result, when the Hexi army went south, the Xihe River was already divided, and the Hu tribes were divided into various places to stand on their own.
In the winter of 393 AD, Wang Zhongde was ordered by the Dadu Protector to lead the Sanxiang cavalry from Linshui County to Xihe County quickly.
It took several days for the army to reach Xihe, and then Wang Zhongde ordered the army to rest in a dense forest valley to allow the soldiers to recuperate and eat and drink.
In the middle of the night, the army quietly pulled out the camp and went straight to the Xicheng City.
In order to cover up their whereabouts, the army is all ranked, the horses are chewed, and they travel at night.
The army marched all the way, Wang Zhongde was very cautious, scattered the scouts and scouts more than ten miles away, and occasionally encountered a few small tribes of Hu people, but they were also wiped out by the army with lightning speed, so the army never leaked a trace of news!
Along the way, the army sneaked and hidden, cautiously, and after a few days, it will finally arrive at the destination smoothly, and Xicheng is in sight.
The Hu people in Xicheng didn't expect the Hexi army to attack so quickly, until Wang Zhongde led the army outside the city, and the Hu woke up like a dream.
After realizing that the situation was not good, in a hurry, the Hu people in the city gathered thousands of cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy.
Under the castle, the two armies of the enemy and us quickly collided with each other.
It has to be said that although the Huns have declined, the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry should not be underestimated.
Only this time they faced Wang Zhongde, who was the champion of the three armies, and the well-trained Hexi army.
At the beginning of the battle, Wang Zhongde found that the Huns on the opposite side were not in order and the formation was loose, so he immediately decided to lead the elite cavalry to attack the enemy formation.
The nine thousand Hexi iron cavalry are all elite, and they are not afraid to face the famous Hun iron cavalry.
Wang Zhongde smiled coldly, pointed the spear in his hand at the Huns who were noisily arranging in the distance, and shouted, "Kill the enemy!" ”
After roaring, Wang Zhongde took the lead and led 9,000 cavalry to rush out of the formation in a frontal formation, and went straight to the Hun army.
Caught off guard, the Huns, who had not yet set up a formation, were rushed and killed by the Hexi cavalry for a while, and were directly rushed through.
The brave and invincible Wang Zhongde rushed left and right in the Hun formation, no one could stop him, and he rushed directly in front of the enemy leader.
I saw Wang Zhongde's spear like a dragon out of the water, going straight to the throat of the other party, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
This frightened the Hun leader so much that he didn't have time to react, and the spear pierced his throat like lightning.
"Uh......" The leader of the Huns clutched his throat tightly with his hands, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was only in vain, and he soon fell headlong on the battlefield.
Wang Zhongde picked up the corpse of the other party with a spear, and shouted on his horse: "The leader of the Huns is dead!" Sons, kill the enemy! ”
was fighting to kill the soldiers of Hexi, and when he saw that the main general was brave, he couldn't help but feel a big morale shock, as if he had added a little strength, and the shouting of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
The Huns, on the contrary, had a leader who died, resulting in the Huns being leaderless, their morale plummeting, and their combat effectiveness plummeting.
After a while, the Huns were slaughtered by the high-morale Hexi army, and the dead bodies were scattered all over the ground.
Later, Wang Zhongde led the army to chase and kill for more than ten miles, until the Huns were broken, and then led the army back to Xicheng.
Later, Wang Zhongde took advantage of this great victory and led his army to quell the Hulu rebellion in Xihe in one fell swoop, and put Xihe County under the jurisdiction of Hexi.
Soon, Wei Shuo, who was far away in Guzang, received Wang Zhongde's good news, and immediately arranged for administrative officials to go to Xihe County to receive it.
At the same time, in order to prevent the Qin people from going north to harass Xihe after Pingyang, he ordered Wang Zhongde to lead the Sancompartment cavalry to garrison Xicheng.
Then, when Kou Zan arrived with the civil affairs officer, he quickly brought in a complete set of mature policies in Hexi, and a large number of policies benefiting the people were implemented one after another.
