In the first year of Wu Huanglong, that is, in 221 A.D., Sun Ce's fleet to the west was almost all over the river, because there was no hostile naval army on the Yangtze River, and the Eastern Wu himself turned the development direction of the naval army to the naval construction, so many small boats of the Eastern Wu Naval Division were sent to fishing in addition to the training, and the smallest fleet of the Wu army was also a fighting ship carrying 300 people, and it was quite spectacular to cross the river for a time.

On top of Qiao Ren's flagship, Zhuge Jin pointed at Qiao Ren with a wry smile and scolded: "Okay, you Qiao Ziyan, you actually want to irrigate the old man's river water, aren't you afraid that your daughter will marry and be worn by the old man in small shoes?" ”

Hearing that Zhuge Ke was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed to say that Zhuge Jin was his father, who said that Zhuge Jin was a humble gentleman and an honest man, this sprinkling was no worse than a vulgar woman.

"As long as you're not afraid, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess of my family, then you can do it! Lone supports you spiritually, and Lone also feels that her mother spoiled her. Qiao Ren replied indifferently.

At this time, Zhuge Jin remembered that Qiao Ling's mother was the eldest princess Baji Palace! Dare to abuse her daughter, which is no different from looking for death in Jiangdong, and Qiao Ling has shown a unique eldest sister's momentum since she was a child, and her aura is so strong that she chases Sun Shangxiang, known as Jiangdong's little tyrant, and bullies her, it is good if she marries and does not turn the sky upside down.

"This, Ziyan. This is a joke, a drunken chatter, a joke, a joke!! ”

Looking at Zhuge Jin, who was incoherent, Qiao Ren helplessly spread his hands to show that he hadn't heard anything, and waited for Zhuge Jin to dance and explain for a long time before he spoke: "Actually, don't look at Cao Pi's 200,000 army, the number is amazing, but in fact, there are only this number that can be put into battle."

Qiao Ren wrote a cross on the desk with water and drew a simple map of Jingzhou. said to Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu, you see, attacking Anfeng from Yiyang and Runan requires crossing the mountains. And since the full pet walked through once, Sun Jiao has closed all the valleys and mountain roads in this area. On the road out of the mountain, the 30,000 troops on the road out of the mountain can actually not attack Anfeng, so the 30,000 troops of the Wei general Cao Ren, the later general Yu Ban, and the general Yangwu are full of favor, so in my opinion, these 30,000 people can only wave their flags and shout on the front line of Runan and Yiyang, at most as a backup. ”

So Qiao Ren drew a cross on the code name of Runan County, Zhuge Jin glanced at it and nodded yes and said, "What about Shangyong's road?" ”

"Shangyong only took it from Liu Bei last year, although Meng Da surrendered, he was not trustworthy, and this place is the eastern three counties of Hanzhong connecting Hanzhong, the general Cao Zhen of the upper army, the general of the southern army Xiahou Shang, and the general Zhang Jaw of the left did not dare to move lightly, and Cao Pi this time was to remove most of the defense army in Liangzhou. According to my estimation, Cao Zhen should be stationed near Wuguan to take care of Yongliang along the way, so the 40,000 troops should not be mentioned. ”

"Well, what about Cao Pi's Chinese army?" As soon as Zhuge Jin spoke, he slapped his head violently and said with a smile: "Cao Pi's garrison in Wancheng is to take care of Luoyang, and the Chinese army is generally difficult to put into battle, unless he Cao Pi wants to finish his work to destroy my Eastern Wu in one battle, otherwise he will never use these 30,000." In this way, only the 100,000 troops of the 20th Army, including Zhang Liao, the former general Zhang Liao, the right general Xu Huang, and the Yuzhou Army, which were supervised by Cao Xiu, the general of the Wei State Expedition to the East, will face directly! ”

"Yes." Qiao Ren nodded and pointed to a water trail on behalf of Xinye and said: "This 100,000 army, among which Zhang Liao was originally Cao Zhen's subordinate in the Western Regions, Cao Xiu's troops were originally to support Shouchun, and the Yuzhou army needless to say is mostly county soldiers not the main force, and Xu Huang, the army transferred from Chang'an to defeat Guan Yu was originally Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, and the composition of this army is complicated. With Cao Xiu's ability, it is difficult to coordinate the overall situation, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, according to my estimates, Cao Pi's personal expedition this time was just to establish his authority, and at the same time he took the initiative to attack and consume the grain and straw of my Jiangdong in order to make my Eastern Wu have no ability to start a war for a few years, after all, Cao Wei's overall strength is stronger than that of our country. Fighting to consume our army is not an opponent. ”

Zhuge Jin agreed with the meaning when he heard this, don't look at the area of Dongwu, which is not small, but the population and cultivated land are poor, and it is far better than Liu Bei in the smoke territory. "Then just like that, as Cao Pi wishes, consume with him?"

"Of course not, Lone prepared a big gift for him?"

"What gift?"

"Draw from the bottom of the kettle! Didn't he transfer the elite troops in Liangzhou? Let's let his Liangzhou be in chaos! Qiao Ren confidently pointed to the northwest and said.

"The bottom of the kettle is drawn. But how can we make Liangzhou chaotic? ”

"It depends on whether Ziyu can move Liu Bei? As long as Liu Bei dares to fund Ma Chao Hanzhong, Ma Mengqi can make Liangzhou chaotic. The Liangzhou Rebellion in the past year made almost all the Han Dynasty have been hollowed out, Cao Pi doesn't pay attention to it! "Qiao Ren is not just joking. Ma Chao is known as the general of Shenweitian, and he has enough prestige and appeal in the minds of the Qiang people, and even has some influence in the hearts of the people of Liangzhou, as long as he can incite the Qiang people to enter the Kou, with his Ma Chao's ability, the mediocre Cao Zhen has to go back to his Liangzhou, and Cao Zhen's Xiahou Shang and Zhang Jaw are basically not his subordinates who used to deal with foreign tribes, and he will never be handy in using them, so that the northwest direction of Cao Wei has a tendency to be chaotic.

At that time, Cao Pi of Wancheng had to think carefully about whether he should spend it like this in Jingbei and Wu, after all, at present, Qinchuan is the forward position to defend Liu Bei, and if Yongliang is chaotic, Cao Wei's northwest will be unstable.

In the winter of 184 A.D. (the seventh year of Guanghe), two groups of Qiang people from Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, Longxi County, Caohan, Heguan and other places rebelled in rebellion, and Xiaoyue and the Han Dynasty rebels who sympathized with them soon joined, intending to seize control of Liangzhou from the imperial court, known as the Liangzhou Rebellion. Although it was almost pacified by the famous general Huangfu Song in the late Han Dynasty and Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian, due to the Luoyang Rebellion, the three major leaders of the rebellion at that time, Ma Teng, Han Sui and Dong Zhuo reconciled and became the warlords of the Central Plains, Song Jian stayed away from the disputes in the Central Plains, and called himself "King of Heshou Ping Han", and established himself in the Caohan and Heguan areas for about 30 years.

The final pacification of the real Liangzhou Rebellion was not long ago, first Xiahou Yuan broke Song Jian, then Zhang Liao defeated Han Sui and Song Jiansheng and captured the two, and finally Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, and the generals (Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao) led by Cao Zhendu and Zhang completely cut off the remnants of Ma, Han and Song in Liangzhou and the Western Regions. After Cao Pi became emperor, the counties in the northwest were re-established, and only a few local rebellions broke out in the northwest region. Despite this achievement, the Central Plains had a weaker grip on power in the northwest than the Han Dynasty before the Liangzhou Rebellion. Compared to the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei's northwestern territory shrank because some of the former counties such as the kingdom established by the Song Dynasty in Caohan were directly abandoned. And due to the significant reduction of the local Han people, which led to the great increase in the power of the Qiang and Di people in Liangzhou, it can be said that the Liangzhou Rebellion laid the foundation for half of the Wuhu chaos in later generations, and the other half was the Central Plains War.

Therefore, when Qiao Ren said this plan, people of insight had deep worries, Zhuge Jin was of course a person of insight, "Ziyan, although this plan is good, it is really suspected of attracting wolves into the house, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, whether it is a Qiang person or a Di person, it is a tiger and a wolf, and when I covet the wealth of my Han family for a long time, this!" ”

"Ziyu rest assured, it's hard to say anything else, but the Qiang people dare to guarantee that it is definitely the same urine sex as the Yue people!" Qiao Ren patted his chest and promised: "It's nothing more than wanting to live a stable life!" ”

"You mean the Qiang people want to be Hanmins?" Zhuge Jin wasn't quite sure what Qiao Ren meant when he said that, because it was too unbelievable.

The Han nation and Han culture have a strong inclusiveness and assimilation, no matter what nationality it is, whether it is active or passive, as long as it enters the radiation circle of Han culture, there is no one who has not been assimilated, especially the Qiang people, who have been partially integrated in ancient times. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty? The Biography of Xiqiang contains: "The foundation of Xiqiang...... The surname Jiang is also different. The ancestor of the surname Jiang was Emperor Yan, who was originally distributed in western China, and its center of activity was in the upper reaches of Weishui, Shaanxi, adjacent to the Yellow Emperor. Chinese? Jin Yu contains: "Xi Shaodian married Youyu clan, gave birth to the Yellow Emperor as Ji, and the Yan Emperor as Jiang. "Left Pass? "Nine Years of Mourning Gong" also contains: "Emperor Yan is the fire master, and the surname Jiang is also later." After entering the Central Plains in the east, it has achieved unprecedented development in present-day Hebei and Yuzhou, becoming one of several famous tribal groups in the Yellow River Basin, and also the pioneer of the Qiang people entering the Central Plains.

"Yes, what caused the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Han family has to pay half of the responsibility, and Liu Bang claims to be the son of Emperor Yan, as his descendant, Liu Bei should live in harmony with the Qiang people, right? Hehe, as far as I know, Liu Bei and Xiqiang have a good relationship, and Ma Chao has a very high prestige among the Qiang people, as long as Liu Bei can subdue the Qiang people and let Ma Chao take them into Liangzhou, he will be able to give Cao Wei a powerful blow. Qiao Ren really thought so, but he wasn't. What Qiao Ren thought was just an expedient measure, but Qiao Ren also believed in the wrist of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, it should not be difficult to subdue the Qiang people, and Zhuge Liang would be able to deal with the Southern Barbarians in the future, and now it is impossible not to deal with the Qiang tribe.

The most important thing is that Qiao Ren believes that the settled people are not aggressive, to be precise, the farming people are not aggressive, as long as they can bind the Qiang people to the land, there will be no Qiang people in less than a hundred years.

"But, why does Liu Bei want to help us."

"I said it depends on Brother Ziyu!"

Zhuge Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that Qiao Ren wanted him to go to Shu to ask for reinforcements. "Okay, your Qiao Ziyan idea hit me, but how do you know that Liu Bei will help us!"

"Because he has no choice, with his current strength, he can't bear the Wei State at all, and without my Great Wu, his Shu land is just a piece of fat."

"But Ma Chao was also a prince, and I'm worried that Liu Bei won't dare to let him go back to Liangzhou!" Zhuge Jin's worries are still very great, but I think it is also Ma Chao who was forced to return to Liu Bei out of desperation, if he is allowed to return to Liangzhou, I am afraid that the fish will return to the abyss and the birds will return to the forest!

Qiao Ren shook his head, and then said: "Yes, the situation is different now, as long as Ma Chao is not too stupid, he should know that the situation of the Three Kingdoms has been formed, and without Liu Bei's support, he will be rootless." As for Liu Bei, as long as the cake is big enough, he will not be moved, as long as Ziyu you work harder. ”

After that, Qiao Ren and Zhuge Jin carefully discussed the specific matters, and then prepared to sacrifice Sun Ce after landing with this strategy of retreating from the enemy. (To be continued......)
