Chapter 172: Hexi! Hexi!

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Chen Xun's face was full of surprise, Cao Cao hid troops in the cave of Yanzhou, defeated Liu Bei in Xuzhou in one fell swoop and took the entire land of Xuzhou, and even his brother Chen Deng surrendered to Cao Cao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Cao Cao's water is very deep." Whether it is the battle of Xuzhou this time, or the battle of Yuan Shao's Guandu, Xu Yu suddenly turned back, all of them show Cao Cao's heroic strategy, all of which are under his control, such an opponent makes Chen Xun's blood boil.

"Give the order to go down, reorganize the army, rest the people, and hoard grain and grass."

Three years later, Guanzhong was rich, and after a bumper harvest, Chen Xun was ready to start another war. In the past three years, Chen Xun has greatly absorbed the Qiang people to join the sinicization, which caused a major earthquake in Guanzhong, and the families in Guanzhong opposed it, but when they objected, they found that the power in their hands was too small compared to Chen Xun.

In these three years, Chen Xun has supported many families, and in these three years, countless small families have risen and become loyal supporters of Chen Xun.

Chen Xun believes that only the family can balance the family, but the disobedient family Chen Xun does not need it, so Chen Xun has already buried the nail when absorbing the Qiang people, and all the disobedient families are cleaned at that moment, although Chen Xun's move has caused a lot of backlash, but it can't withstand the 150,000 army in Chen Xun's hands.

Chen Xun came to the school and carried out a review of his soldiers, in the past three years, Chen Xun rarely appeared in the army, but it had no impact on his reputation, for example, the longer the wine, the more mellow it became, and Chen Xun's reputation was the same.

Chen Xun's arrival did not make the soldiers on the school field make a noise, but the fanaticism in the eyes of those soldiers could not be concealed.

"Soldiers, your knives are rusty."

"No, I didn't." The soldiers on the school field raised their ring-headed knives one after another, shining in the sunlight.

"Soldiers, your hearts have been corrupted."

"No, we are willing to die for the general." The impassioned voice resounded in the sky, which showed the majesty of this team.

"Soldiers, what should we do if someone comes to beat us?"

"Fight back, kill him without leaving a piece of armor." The voice in unison made Chen Xun nod in satisfaction.

"Soldiers, I know that there are many of you who are new Han people, but my trust in you is the same, now the old king of Burning in the Hexi Corridor has gathered 300,000 Qiang soldiers, and wants to capture you back and be his slaves, you are willing to wave the big sword in your hand to drive them out of our Hexi territory."

A few crappy Han voices said: "It was the general who gave us food and let our tribe survive that winter, and from that day on, we are the general's people, we are Han people." ”

The crappy Han voice sounded, and the faces of those new Han people selected from all over the country showed determination, and in the past three years, they have lived a life that they never dared to imagine before, and now they no longer have to worry about their livelihoods, and they have also lived a life that they never dared to imagine before.

Looking at this group of soldiers who had been sinicized, Chen Xun's eyes were full of joy. They are the first batch, but as long as they take the land of Hexi, then the population in Guanzhong will show explosive growth, and Chen Xun's soldiers and horses will be enough to expand more than 200,000, and at that time, Chen Xun's strength will exceed Yuan Shao in Hebei and Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

As early as three days ago, Chen Xun sent his subordinates to create friction in Hexi, creating the false impression that Lao Wang was going to raise troops to attack Guanzhong, and now the people in Guanzhong are full of righteous indignation, and they are unwilling to give up this hard-won peace. Many young and middle-aged people wanted to come to Chen Xun's army to join the army, and Chen Xun also accepted a lot, because the weapons and grain and grass in his hands were still sufficient.

After inspecting the soldiers and horses, Chen Xun came to Li Ru's mansion, at this time Li Ru's temples were already white, and his back was slightly tilted due to complicated official duties.

"Supplementally, according to our spies, Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, is now in the hands of the Southern Xiongnu, if he can take back the Cai family with the power of the great victory in Hexi, then it will be a great boost to the prestige of our army."

Chen Xun fell into deep thought, recalling what he studied at Lu Zhi back then, now Lu Zhi is dead, but Chen Xun can't see him for the last time because of busy military affairs and geographical barriers, Cai Yong is Lu Zhi's friend, since he is Cai Yong's daughter, Chen Xun is of course duty-bound.

Chen Xun gathered all the forces in Guanzhong and marched to the west of the river. Attacking Hexi and recovering the Hexi Corridor is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and it is also the dream of several generations of Han people, if Chen Xun attacks Chen Xun's rear when he attacks Hexi, then he will become the public enemy of the world, so Chen Xun is not afraid of someone sneaking up on his rear.

The elite of 150,000 Guanzhong walked mightily on the official road, and there were many people on the road to welcome and eat pot pulp.

"Meng Qi, have you complained that I haven't used you all these years." Chen Xun looked at the young general behind him with a smile on his face.

Ma Chao raised his head and said, "Thanks to the precipitation over the years, my marksmanship has improved to a higher level, and although you haven't used me over the years, you have treated me well." ”

Looking at Ma Chao, Chen Xun seemed to want to see him through, but when he took the first look, Chen Xun laughed at it. Chen Xun knew that Ma Chao was ambitious, but as long as he was in one day, he would not let Ma Chao become bigger, if one day he died, his son could not balance Ma Chao, and he could only say that he was not worthy of inheriting his inheritance.

Zhang Liao, who was marching with the army, was extremely excited. Zhang Liao's original surname was Nie, but after the famous general Nie Yi of the Western Han Dynasty, he later changed his surname to Zhang in order to avoid disasters, and now he can follow the footsteps of his ancestors to retract the Hexi Corridor, how can this not make him excited. There is always some guilt in Zhang Liao's heart for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's dream is to drink Ma Helan Mountain, and now this dream may be realized in Zhang Liao's hands.

Zhang Liao shook the Dragon Bird Big Ring Knife in his hand, and there was war intent in his eyes.

In the other direction, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's two brothers are also excited, why did Zhao Yun choose Gongsun Zhan, that is, because Gongsun Chan guards the frontier all the year round, his subordinates are brave and invincible, and those alien races kneel on the ground and sing conquest, but Zhang Xiu's mind is that if he can take the land of Hexi, then he will become a hero, and there will be a strong stroke of his Zhang Xiu in history.
