In July of the 14th year of Jian'an, a major event occurred in Guanzhong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jingzhao Wei, who is known about the strong and powerful in the middle, gathered 3,000 tribes, rose up in Ganting, and captured Shanglin; On the second day after Wei's army, Hongnong Yang Fan raised troops in Hongnong, gathered more than 4,000 troops, and occupied Hongnong County. Immediately, Yang Fan responded to Wei Cong, sent troops to Huxian County, and occupied Huayin.

Jingzhao Webster, Hongnong Yang!

These are all powerful and powerful in Guanzhong with a history of 100 years, and they have an extremely strong influence.

In particular, the Hongnong Yang family is also a family of four generations and three dukes. Taiwei Yang Zhen, Taiwei Yang Biao, two generations of Taiwei, countless protégés and former officials. Dong Zhuo's rebellion is that Yang Biao has the merit of escorting. However, later Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County and set Yang Biao in the air. In the end, Yang Biao had to leave Xudu and return to his hometown.

Webster has a deep hatred with Cao Peng.

In the past, Cao Peng killed Wei Duan and Wei Kang's father and son, which greatly damaged Wei's strength. In particular, the trade between Webster and the Qiang people in Huangzhong was cut off, and almost fifty percent of Webster's income was lost. Subsequently, Cao Peng opened the Western Regions Trade Route, and although Wei was also involved, the benefits obtained were far inferior to those of other families.

Not to mention anything else, before Cao Peng opened the trade route in the Western Regions, the Pingling Dou clan could not be compared with the Wei clan at all.

However, due to Cao Peng's support, Dou's 200-year-old Haoqiang has been reborn. Over the years, Dou's earnings have skyrocketed and gone from strength to strength. In the ninth year of Jian'an, Dou Lan, who returned from Hexi, was opened by Cao Hong and appointed Jing Zhaocheng, and then it was even more out of control. Dou Lan's son Dou Hu is now serving as a commander in Wuwei County, and he has a great future. With the rise of the Dou Lan lineage, the Dou family gradually changed its strategy and began to support the Pingling Dou family with the Dou Lan line as the main body.

In contrast, Merriam-Webster has been suppressed one after another.

After the death of Wei Duan Wellon, there was no longer anyone at the helm of Webster. And Cao Ji took charge of Liangzhou, and he did everything possible to suppress Webster. In any case, the friendship between Cao Ji and Wang Meng is far from being compared with Cao Peng and Wang Meng.

An old friend of decades, who died because of Merriam-Webster.

His own son suffered even more because of Webster......

Cao Ji is not a generous person, in this case, it would be really strange if he didn't suppress Webster. In this way, Webster's business in Liangzhou was almost cut off. And the business of participating in the Western Regions Trade Road is often troubled by the Liangzhou checkpoint. Cao Ji can't blatantly retaliate against Webster, but he can constantly weaken Webster's power through the power in his hands. As a result, Merriam-Webster's strength has shrunk severely.

Wei Cong, the new patriarch of the Wei clan, also asked for help from other Guanzhong Haoqiang.

But everyone cooperated well with Cao's and reaped great benefits...... The so-called alliance between Guanzhong and the powerful has long become an empty talk. On the surface, these powerful families expressed their willingness to help Webster, but when they turned back, they united with Cao Ji to suppress Webster. After all, Webster has been based in Guanzhong for a hundred years and occupies a lot of resources. Now Merriam-Webster is obviously weak, and it would be extremely stupid not to take advantage of the opportunity.

As for Cao Ji?

It's not a big deal, but it's super lucky!

This is the evaluation given to Cao Ji by the Guanzhong clan.

This guy has a super tough son, which is enough for the Cao family to not weaken its strength within a hundred years.

In that case, why not befriend him? Webster and Cao's grudges are very entangled, and they just borrowed Cao's hand to kill Webster. What alliance, what friendship? In the face of interests, they have become extremely vulnerable.

In the face of this situation, can Webster be helpless?

Cao Peng's appointment as the lieutenant of Si Li is equivalent to sending Wei Shi to Cao Peng's knife.

Don't look at Cao Peng's lack of expression now, it's because he has no time to pay attention. If you wait until Cao Peng quells the Hehuang Rebellion and returns to Guanzhong...... Webster was the first to bear the brunt and became Cao Peng's ghost. Having said that, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. Over the years, Wei's secretly contacted Wudu Ma Chao and Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and even sent a large number of ordnance materials to Ma Chao Zhang Lu through his own channels.

If they are found out, Cao Peng will never let them go!

When the time comes, those shit allies will not only not help, but will definitely come up happily and accept Webster's power.

As for Hongnong Yang, it was because of Yang Xiu's death, which made Yang angry.

The Yang family itself belonged to the staunch imperial party. At the time of the Wuzi Rebellion, he was also implicated.

The foundation of Hongnong Yang's in Guanzhong was almost uprooted.

And Yang Xiu's death touched the last bottom line of the Yang family...... Yang Biao learned that his beloved son had been killed and vomited blood and died. The Cao family's suppression of the Yang family also made the Yang family have no other way out but to bite the bullet.

From this point of view, the situation of Yang and Wei is similar.

In the face of Cao Wei's aggressive posture, he had no choice but to resist......

It was only because Cao Peng was in the northwest before that the two families did not dare to act rashly. Now Cao Peng is bedridden and seriously ill, and Cao Xiu is also mobilizing men and horses to prepare to use troops against Hehuang. Almost all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were transferred back to the city, Fanxukou and Yangcheng. At the same time, with the start of the war in Bingzhou, all the elites of Cao's army were drawn, and the troops in Hedong were empty, and it was difficult to pose too much threat to Guanzhong.

After deliberation, the two families decided to raise an army.

Cooperate with Ma Chao's action to conquer Guanzhong......

Once the Guanzhong is broken, the Central Plains will be in chaos. In the years of operation, the Yang and Wei families have a very close relationship with Xianbei. As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, the two families can unite the forces of Xichuan Liu Zhang, Jiangdong Sun Quan, and Xianbei Kebineng to work together to seek benefits and maintain their own power.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no concept of a state.

Many ministers of the court and the central government had close contacts with the Hu people such as the Xianbei Xiongnu.

This is also a reason why since the Han Dynasty, although there have been countless expeditions to Mobei and even achieved countless brilliant results, the Hu people have always been able to threaten the Central Plains. You don't see, every time there is a war, a large number of powerful people from the Central Plains defect to the Hu people. Including Liu Yu, Liu Yan and Yuan Shao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they more or less colluded with the Hu people. The only Gongsun Zhan who did not collude eventually died at the hands of Yuan Shao.

This, perhaps, is a sorrow for the Central Plains.

Since ancient times, traitors have never been lacking.

Han is like this, Tang is like this, Song is like this, and Ming is like this......

The Yang and Wei families joined forces to raise troops, posing a huge threat to Guanzhong.

Cao Hong learned the news and hurriedly returned to the rescue.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Ma Chao gathered 20,000 horses and suddenly launched a fierce attack. And the panicked Guanzhong Cao army was caught off guard and quickly defeated by Ma Chao. Ma Chao immediately conquered Huicheng and occupied Fanxukou. Cao Hong hurriedly led his troops to attack to recapture Fanxukou. However, he was ambushed by Ma Chao, and Cao's army was defeated.

Ma Chao uses soldiers, and he talks about a fast word the most.

After conquering Fanxukou, he ordered Ma Xiu to garrison Fanxukou, and then took Ma Dai as the vanguard, and personally supervised the soldiers and horses to pursue Cao Hong. Cao Hong was defeated in successive battles, and led the remnants of the army to flee to Chencang.

For a time, the wind in Guanzhong was loud, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

After the Yang and Wei families converged, they gathered 30,000 people and besieged Chang'an.

Liangzhou Mu Jia Xu, who stayed in Chang'an, responded calmly......

On July 15, when Ma Chao took advantage of the power of the winning streak and went straight to Chen Cang. Passing through Wuyue Mountain, he was ambushed by Cao's army. Cao Jun's generals Zhang He and Xu Huang had long been ordered to lurk in Wuyue Mountain. When Ma Chao's army passed, Cao Hong gathered 10,000 Cao troops in Chencang and made a decisive battle with Ma Chao.

Just when the two sides were fighting, Zhang He and Xu Huang suddenly came out of Wuyue Mountain and attacked Ma Chao's rear army.

Ma Chao's army was suddenly in a mess, and under the flanking attack of Cao's army, it was finally defeated and left...... Hu Zun, the commander of the military division, was beheaded by Zhang He in the chaos. Ma Dai was at the foot of Wuyue Mountain, and died in a battle to cover Ma Chao. After Ma Chao broke out of the encirclement, he didn't dare to stay and hurriedly fled to Fanxukou.

Who knows, just when Ma Chao won victories one after another, Hanyang guarded Shi Tao too much, and suddenly attacked Xu Shu's order, attacked Longguan, and then recaptured Fanxukou. Although Ma Xiu resisted desperately, Xu Shu and Shi Tao gathered 30,000 soldiers to attack forcibly, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they finally recaptured Fanxukou.

Ma Xiu fought a bloody battle at Fansukou for a day and a night, and when there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, he set fire to the city and then committed suicide. When Ma Chao heard the news, he was shocked. The occupation of Fansukou is tantamount to cutting off his way back. At this time, Cao Hong and Xu Huang had already joined forces and pursued from Wuyue Mountain. Ma Chao retreated while fighting, and in the end he could only retreat to Yangcheng and wait for reinforcements.

Where are Ma Chao's reinforcements?

It is the two soldiers and horses of Nayang and Wei.

It's just that he didn't expect that this farce was planned by Jia Xu from beginning to end.

Zhang He and Xu Huang were secretly transferred from Xu Du, and then let out Fanxukou to make Ma Chao enter the pass.

To put it bluntly, it is to lure the enemy deeper, close the door and beat the dog!

Previously, Jia Xu received a secret report from Cao Peng and closely monitored Yang Fanwei's two families. And before that, he had long been on guard, and he was suspicious of Jingzhao Wei's and Hongnong Yang's. It's a pity that there is no evidence and no way to start. If it is forcibly suppressed, you will also have to worry about Guanzhong's strong thoughts. After all, Webster or Young...... We fight, it's our own business. If you want to uproot the two families, you will inevitably feel a chill in your lips and teeth. So if you think about it, the only way to do it is to let the two take the initiative......

So Jia Xu and Cao Hong discussed, and made a situation of emptiness of troops.

Wei Congyang Fan was really fooled, so he raised troops and rebelled.

Just when Ma Chao was defending Yangcheng and waiting for reinforcements. Xu Yi, who was secretly stationed in Heluo, suddenly attacked. Break through Hangu Pass and conquer Hongnong. The Yang family was full of slaves, men and women, and more than 800 people were captured. Immediately after, Xu Yi drove straight into and recaptured Huyang and Huayin.

And the Pingling Dou clan, after receiving Jia Xu's counteroffensive order, gathered thousands of people and sent troops to rescue.

Ma Chao defeated Wu Yueshan, which caught Wei Cong and Yang Fan off guard.

By the time the two of them reacted, Zhang He had already arrived at Baqiao with his troops......

At the same time, Xu Yibing came to the mound to lead the mountain and surrounded the rebel regiments. Wei Cong's troops from the two families were mostly rabble, and the soldiers and horses were temporarily gathered. When Cao's army surrounded them, there was chaos.

Wei Cong also wanted to resist stubbornly, and called on Guanzhong to respond.

On July 20, the two families of the Wei clan and the Pei clan in Hedong gathered 5,000 troops and stationed them in Guanzhong, threatening to put down the rebellion.

On the 21st, Emperor Fu Jianshou ordered his eldest son, Huang Fu Qi, to lead his troops to attack and enter Guanzhong.

The heroes reacted in unison and drew a line with the two families.

On the 23rd, the rebels showed signs of rout.

Jia Xu ordered all gates of Chang'an to be opened and launched a general attack. Zhang He, Xu Yi, and the powerful coalition forces in Guanzhong acted at the same time, Wei Cong fled from the defeat, and Yang Fan was captured alive on the spot. Jia Xu issued a reward of a thousand gold to kill Wei Cong.

On the 24th, Yang Fan, along with 874 people, was beheaded at the entrance of Chang'an Caishi.

On the 25th, Wei Cong was killed by his servants and sent to Chang'an.

A vigorous and seemingly magnificent uprising lasted only eighteen days before it was completely over. Jingzhao Wei's and Hongnong Yang's have since been erased from the list of Guanzhong's heroes and died in the long river of history.

Jia Xu immediately straightened out the soldiers and horses and reported to Yecheng.

And Cao Hong and Xu Huang surrounded Yangcheng, and Ma Chao had become a turtle in the urn at this time.

As for when to launch a general offensive?

No hurry!

Let's grind Ma Chao's temperament......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of April of the 14th year of Jian'an, Longxi Taishou ordered Hao Zhao, the southern governor, to lead his troops to counterattack.

Bai Ma Qiang and Shen Wolf Qiang did not dare to continue to entangle, and fled back to Huangzhong in embarrassment. Hao Zhao, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to attack Wudu County, seizing the four counties of Wudu Dao, Xiafen, Qiang Dao and Shanglu, and the gateway to Hanzhong was opened.

Zhang Lu was anxious at this time.

Xichuan soldiers and horses are frequently mobilized, and they appear to be infested at Baishui Pass, and there seem to be signs of sending troops.

For Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu gritted his teeth and hated it, but he couldn't help it, and he was very worried. Hearing that there was an abnormal movement in the soldiers and horses of Xichuan, Zhang Lu did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately sent Gong Cao Yanpu to lead his troops to garrison Chuyang to prevent Liu Zhang's sneak attack.

Yan Pu, a Brazilian from Yizhou, is known for his strategy.

He suggested: "The lord does not need to worry about Xichuan now, but should beware of Cao Cao." ”

"How so?"

Xichuan is now in chaos, Liu Zhang is too busy to take care of himself, and even does not hesitate to invite Liu Bei to help and garrison Nanzhong. I've heard people say that prices in Chengdu are skyrocketing right now, and it's quite chaotic. Liu Zhang is fully responsible for this matter, how can he have the energy to send troops to Hanzhong? On the contrary, it is Cao Cao's nephew, the new captain of Sili Cao Peng, who is cunning and resourceful, and uses soldiers like a god. The rebellion in the northwest could not trap him for long, and the horses would be defeated by him sooner or later.

When the time comes, how can he sit back and watch Wudu and own the lord?

As soon as the military force is broken, he is bound to capture Hanzhong. Cao Cao is ambitious, he has long peeked into Xichuan, and Hanzhong is an important place to Xichuan, Cao Peng must also know this, and will not let Hanzhong ......"

"What Zinong said is extremely true!"

Zhang Lu is a person who can still listen to opinions.

But the transfer of Xichuan's soldiers and horses is a fact, but he does not dare to take it lightly.

"In this way, I will let Zhong Qi garrison Yangping Pass, so that Hanzhong can sit back and relax."

"Lord, if you just defend to the death, it will be difficult to stop Cao Jun. Today, the military capital is empty, and it is the time for the lord to seek it. As long as the Wudu is occupied, the west can unite with Huangzhong Qiangdi, advance to attack Hanyang and Longxi, and retreat can hold on. Relying on the geography of Hanzhong, he dealt with Cao Jun...... He was willing to lead the troops and seize the capital for the lord. ”

This was originally an excellent strategy.

If Zhang Lu listened, Cao Peng would have to work hard if he wanted to break into Hanzhong.

But how can Zhang Lu listen to it now?

After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to let Yan Pu guard Chuyang.

Although Yan Pu disagreed, he couldn't change Zhang Lu's decision. On the way out of Nanzheng, Yan Pu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hanzhong, death is not long. ”

The day of Hanzhong's demise will not be too far away......

It's just that he can't explain these words to anyone, otherwise he will definitely cause death.

Yan Pu left Nanzheng and was stationed in Chuyang not long after.

Zhang Lu got the news of Ma Chao's defeat!

Without waiting for him to react, Hao Zhao led his troops into Wudu, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and he captured Xiajiao.

It was only at this time that Zhang Lu panicked!

He hurriedly ordered his brother Zhang Wei and Zhang Zhongqi to lead an army of 30,000 and garrison Yangping Pass to resist the attack of Cao's army.

But he didn't know that at the same time as he sent two troops and horses, a Cao army had quietly marched in the Meridian Valley, and was marching towards Hanzhong, with difficulty.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Zhong Cun Guo is just, why don't you stand still?"

The river is a river, and the blood flows like a river!

Cao Peng used the momentum of the wind and clouds, like a pack of wolves, to kill the people in fear.

After entering the river for more than 20 days, Cao's army attacked in all directions. Suddenly scattered, attacking those small tribes; Suddenly, he concentrated his forces and exterminated the great tribes. In just over 20 days, Cao's army attacked more than 30 times, wiped out 37 tribes, and killed more than 30,000 people. The whole river was terrified.

At first, Dou Mao didn't pay attention.

But by the time he found out that something was wrong, the terrifying aura had already swept across the entire river.

Not only the large and small tribes were frightened, but even the Di people living around the king's tent at the head of the Cizhi River were also worried.

Cao Peng!

The name has become a nightmare for the shepherds of the Hehuang steppe.

mentioned Cao Peng's name, almost to the point of stopping crying at night.

"Don't cry, cry again, King Cao Yan will come!"

Many people use this method to intimidate children.

The child who was distressed immediately stopped crying when he heard the three words of King Cao Yan.

Legend has it that King Cao Yan had to eat ten people in one meal.

Legend has it that King Cao Yan drank the blood of a hundred people every day......

Legend has it that King Cao Yan liked to drink wine with people's hearts, and a banquet would take at least a thousand hearts......

There are more and more legends like this.

Cao Peng himself didn't know where such a legend came from.

However, he used real actions to tell the people of Hehuang: I said that I would wash Hehuang in blood, and it was by no means a threatening word.

Many Di people began to regret it, they knew that this was the case, even if they couldn't kill Dou Mao, it would be good to show a gesture. But now, Cao Jun has already killed him...... Then King Cao Yan didn't give you a chance to regret it at all, and directly wiped out the clan. Thirty-seven tribes, with a total of more than 30,000 people, are almost one-sixth of the total population of the entire Hehuang people! The problem is that no one knows how long Cao Peng will be killed. Judging from the current situation, this Cao army has obviously killed red-eyed and crazy!

Dou Mao hurriedly ordered that the Di people on the Hehuang Mu Plain immediately shrink and concentrate on the area at the head of the Cizhi River.

He also got the news that there were two armies of soldiers and horses that had entered the river.

One is Commander Cao Peng, although there are not many people, but all of them are bloodthirsty, and the killing method is extremely crazy.

This group of men and horses came without a trace, went without a trace, and did not carry any baggage.

It is completely relying on killing and plundering to supplement the heavy grain and grass......

Want to raise an army to besiege?

People don't fight at all.

As long as you dare to disperse, even if it is a tribe of a few thousand people, they will dare to attack, and they will win every battle.

The prestige of more than 30 battles cannot be eliminated casually.

Thirty-seven tribes, more than 32,000 lives...... So much so that when many people hear Cao Peng's name, they can feel the thick bloody breath that fills the air. When did the Han army become so brutal?

The other Cao army is said to be commanded by Cao Peng's brother, Cao Xiu, the new governor of the western region.

About 30,000 soldiers and horses have been pulled into the Hehuang grassland, and now they are approaching the head of the Cizhi River, rapidly approaching......

Of the two teams, Dou Mao was more willing to fight Cao Xiu in comparison.

At least after Cao Xiu entered Hehuang, he behaved fairly mildly, and there was no large-scale killing.

Compared with Cao Peng, this Cao Xiu is simply as merciful as a saint.

Even Dou Mao felt fear, and even more so the others?

While Dou Mao was gathering troops and horses, he inquired about the movements of Cao's army.

Zhongcun, located near the West Slope Mountain, also belongs to the Di people. The leader of the Zhong Cundi people, named Guo Qi, was subordinate to Dou Mao. As early as after Cao Peng's killing, Dou Mao ordered Guo to send troops to the rescue.

But until now, Zhong Cun's reinforcements have not been seen for a long time.

"The king, if it weren't for Guo, he would not be willing to send troops, I'm afraid that he will not be able to protect himself now."

"What's wrong?"

"I just got the news that Wu Wei was too guarded by Su Ze, secretly sent troops from Dayun Valley and arrived at Cizhi Hequ.

This person joined forces with Lao Qiang and was approaching the mountain to the west.

Guo had already fought with them twice, but he lost in a row...... Guo is now gathering troops and horses to defend the mountain in the west. He also sent people to ask the king for reinforcements, and even heard that he asked for help from Sam Wolf Qiang. ”

"Ke is the most damned!"

Dou Mao was furious, raising his arms and roaring in the king's tent.

Ke Shi is the old Qiang King, and now Ke Shi's son Ke Wu, who serves the Cao family and his son, has been appointed as the commander of the army. It is said that Cao Ji attached great importance to Ke Wu. Although he was about to leave office, he entrusted Ke Wu to Cao Peng. However, Cao Peng did not lead Ke Wu into Hehuang this time, but asked him to stay in Longxi to assist Xu Shu. In other words, as long as Cao Peng wins this battle, Ke Wu will definitely be of great use.

The trend of Caojia Liangzhou is irreversible.

Ke is not stupid, otherwise it would be impossible to take the burnt old Qiang and deal with Ma Teng for many years.

It was an old fox, strong and weak, and it was clear to see.

In this situation, if he doesn't help Cao Peng, who else can he help?

In fact, among the tribal adults present in this king's tent, I am afraid that there are many people who want to defect to Cao Peng in their hearts.

It's just that, so far, Cao Peng is reluctant to contact them.

"Did the person who was sent to make peace with Cao Xiu come back?"

"It's back!"

"What did Cao Xiu say?"

A tribal lord had a bitter face, "Cao Duwei said, in the battle of Hehuang, he obeyed the orders of that Cao Yan king.

Although he is the brother of King Cao Yan, his official position is not as high as that of King Cao Yan, and he can't be the master of this matter. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

When many tribal adults heard this, their hearts moved, and they immediately discovered the meaning of Cao Xiu's words.

Cao Xiu is willing to negotiate peace!

It's just that Cao Peng refused to agree.

As long as Cao Peng can calm his anger, then everything is easy to say...... But why did Cao Peng refuse to stop his anger? Killed so many people and didn't want to stop? To put it bluntly, before the Di people, they ignored Cao Peng too much.

Lao Tzu issued a blood order, you guys didn't say anything at all, how can I save face?

In other words, as long as you kill Dou Mao......

Several tribal adults glanced at each other, and they all secretly looked at Dou Mao.

At this time, Dou Mao was extremely angry, and he did not realize the connotation of these words.

"Since he is a barbarian and wants to kill them all, then Lao Tzu will fight with them!"

It's not to kill them all, it's to kill you......

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the tribal adults, but they quickly returned to their normal color. This is Dou Mao's territory, so it's best to be careful. This matter should be discussed again and a proper idea should be discussed.

At this moment, someone outside the king's tent suddenly shouted: "Great king, there is a messenger from the Han barbarians...... He was the messenger of King Cao Yan. ”

In an instant, in the king's tent, there was no sound!
