Chapter 252: Terrifying Speculation
Zhengyuan County, the county guard hall.
"After all, Dong Zhuo is from a poor family, and Liangzhou is a zone with a strong foothold, if there is no one with enough manpower to protect him, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, I am afraid that he will be kicked down a long time ago, and there are not a few people who are staring at the position of Liangzhou's assassin history." Huang Zhong said with a heavy expression, and did not mock Dong Zhuo, because Huang Zhong understood Dong Zhuo's current situation.
The children of the poor family, want to be on the throne to do the history of the assassination of a state, especially the history of the assassination of the military and political power like Liu Tai, it is even more difficult, and even impossible, although Liangzhou is barren, but the soldiers of the gate lords, especially the warlord families, there are countless of them, and the generals of the Kansai and the ministers of the Kanto are the famous sayings that have been passed down through the ages.
"Dong Zhuo can have his current status, and he is also a real gun, there is no need to talk about Dong Zhuo again, the question we are considering now is, Qiang Hu, was Dong Zhuo forced over? I heard that in the middle of March of the fifth year, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song joined forces to raise 150,000 troops to attack Qianghu, and even after winning the battle, Qianghu was almost wiped out! Fu Zhu frowned, Dong Zhuo said that the latter is a strong enemy, this is recognized by all the Northern Xinjiang strategists, in front of the Northern Xiongnu and Qiang Hu at the same time to attack the state, if you don't repel the army first, the situation in the state will continue to deteriorate.
"The question is here, since Qianghu has suffered heavy losses on the battlefield in the west, why did he still come east with the strength of the clan? Aren't you afraid that the rear will be copied by Dong Zhuo? Yan Liang glanced at the frustration and said lightly.
"No" he shook his head and said heavily: "It's been more than half a month since Qianghu sent troops, and Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, who should have said that they got the news, should have sent troops to pick up the bargain a long time ago, but have you heard the news from Liangzhou?" No!! ”
Huang Zhong couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said out loud: "What the military advisor means is that Qianghu and Liangzhou have secretly made an agreement??" ”
"Scared" In an instant, everyone in the entire lobby gasped, if Liangzhou and Qiang Hu made an agreement, whose idea was it? Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song? They don't seem to have the qualifications yet
He nodded with an ugly expression, as if agreeing with everyone's thoughts, and said softly: "Everyone present is the henchmen of the lord, and this military division is not afraid of leaking out, such as today's unpredictable situation, and even a large-scale civil war will break out within my Han at any time, and at this time, the grassland has raised a million iron horsemen to attack my northern frontier, and the people behind this control everything have their identities in their hearts, but don't say it, this is a layer of window paper, pierced, no one is good!" ”
"No!" Including Huang Zhong, they nodded solemnly one by one and sang a promise, everyone understood the meaning of frustration, and also knew that if there was a civil war, Northern Xinjiang would definitely bear the brunt, and the personal interests of the people present were firmly tied to Northern Xinjiang, and they could not be separated at all, and if there was no life and death, they would definitely not betray Northern Xinjiang.
"Strategist, do you mean that we will first defeat the Qianghu, and then turn back to deal with the Northern Xiongnu?" Guan Yu frowned, and asked lightly.
Frustrated Zhu shook his head, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Qiang Hu has Wei Jie there to deal with, there will be no chaos in a short time, the current situation, our army must first hurt the Northern Xiongnu, after all, the Northern Xiongnu and my northern Xinjiang, there is no big relationship at all, at most for a little profit, even so, as long as our army hurts the Northern Xiongnu, and then shake hands with the Northern Xiongnu, join forces with the lord, first beat Xianbei back to the Han Mountain and then settle the account after the autumn!" ”
================= Shuofang, Linrong City Qianghu is different from other grassland tribes, because they have been looting in Liangzhou for a long time, so they have a very set of siege methods, and even invaded the hinterland of Liangzhou many times to loot, and now Qianghu has also used this method in Linrong City, and it is more than that!
I saw that under the city of Linrong, more than 100,000 Qiang Hu cavalry were besieging the city, in order to bring blows to Shuofang as much as possible, it was also very confident, and they actually divided their troops around, and they didn't even give the Han army in Linrong City a way to live.
At the head of the city, the atmosphere is very heavy, it can be said that with a hint of depression, Wei Jie has never held his breath so much since he commanded the army, why? Because Wei Jie's scene under the city is absolutely infuriating, it can even be said that as long as it is a Han Chinese, no one will not be heartbroken!
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Spare your life, help, smack"
"Please, let my child go, he's only five years old."
"Brute, you pigs and dogs are not as good as things, Demon King Dong will definitely avenge us"
"Ahh
The leather whip was born, the screams were chaotic, the situation under the city of Linrong was very miserable, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was bloody, only to see countless Han people, who were slowly driven to the city wall of Linrong City by more than a thousand Qiang Hu cavalry, and the cavalry whipped the Han people from time to time, but they did not kill them, but they just made their screams more miserable, and the injuries on their bodies were more serious.
"Squeak, squeak" Wei Jie almost crushed his steel teeth, although the people in front of him were all snatched from Liangzhou by Qianghu, but they were also Han people, right? As a general of the Han people and the parents of the Han people, Wei Jie was powerless, and he couldn't even order to go to the rescue, isn't this tangled?
"General Wei, give the order to shoot arrows, they are already in range." Jiang Zhe, who was promoted to Wei Jie's deputy general, shouted softly with anger on his face.
Jiang Zhe is the county guard of Jinyang, nicknamed the Raptor, who fights and is very brave, and even has the title of the first fierce general in the state.
Jinyang is the seat of governance of the state, and it should be said that Jiang Zhe's position is above Wei Jie, but because Wei Jie has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the Northeast Battlefield, and although Jiang Zhe has military force, he has no command talent, so Wei Jie was exceptionally nominated by Liu Tai as the main general, "There is my Han family below, how can this general be" Wei Jie frowned, his expression was ugly, he clenched his fists, glared angrily at the city, and shouted in a low voice to the generals standing beside him.
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, and the people are only a few thousand at the moment, but there are tens of thousands of people in Linrong City, can't the general tell which is more important? For the life and death of thousands of people, it is really unwise to make Qianghu have the opportunity to take advantage of it! In Linrong City, Dong Wei, the commander of the only 30,000 cavalry, said lightly.
Dong Wei is nicknamed the Flying Wolf, the wolf is ruthless, it is indeed true, thousands of people have become necessary victims in his eyes, but is Dong Wei's words wrong? No! With this move, Qianghu captured many towns in Liangzhou, and the Han slaves under his rule can be said to be like a snowball rolling more and more, if this time Qianghu entered the cordon of Linrong City, even if Qianghu is repulsed, there may be more Han people next time, and more Han people will die under the city! Kill to kill! Stop the violence with violence, only in this way can we curb the Qianghu iron cavalry from entering the range of Linrong City, and only in this way can we hope to repel the Qianghu!
Glancing at Dong Wei, Wei Jie opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say, although he had thought of temporarily moving the people of Linrong City to other counties to avoid trouble, but Linrong had developed animal husbandry and prosperous commerce, and it was impossible to evacuate all of them for a while, and only some ordinary people who were not dragged down could go.
"Archery !!"
"No!"
"General Wei has an order, release the arrows !!" Jiang Zhe shouted violently, and it spread throughout the city.
The long-range crossbowmen who had already been prepared for a long time stood up at the head of the city, and without the slightest hesitation, released the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the crossbow arrows carried the sound of breaking the air, and shot quickly towards the crowd under the city.
"Flutter, flutter"
"Run away, the Han army doesn't care about our life or death, everyone go quickly"
"Ahh
However, a few volleys, except for some fast-moving people who escaped, almost all of them remained under the city, which was mixed with a lot of Qianghu soldiers, who were originally going to wait for the Linrong city gate to open, and then take the opportunity to steal the city, but they all died under the city.
Blood is everywhere The people who were originally alive have all turned into corpses, although there are many Qiang Hu soldiers, but it is undeniable that there are more people in the Han family, more than ten times more than ten times more Qiang Hu soldiers, and these people did not die at the hands of the enemy, it was Wei Jie's military order that killed them, and it was the protector of the people in Northern Xinjiang, the heaven-sent army!!
Seeing that nothing could be done, the Qianghu army, which was not ready to attack the city, began to slowly retreat to the camp more than ten miles outside Linrong City, and began to confront the Han defenders of Linrong City.
Qianghu camp "bang"
"Bastards, a bunch of waste, this princess said that it is impossible for the heavenly military lord to open the city gate and let the people into the city, you just want to do this, is it child's play to wait for the military order of this princess?" I saw a young woman in the big tent of Qianghu, her face flushed, and she scolded loudly.
"Princess Wanyu, I know that your mother is Han and doesn't like to use Han people as a meat shield, but this war is about the survival of my Qianghu, and my Qianghu's cattle and sheep are already insufficient after being plundered by the Dong Demon King many times, so why waste food to feed these Han people? Is it necessary? Even if you can't open the city gates, why not waste food by Han slaves? A sturdy man said with a gloomy face, this man's identity is not necessarily, he has a very high status in the Qianghu clan, and is even the fiancé of Wanyu, the princess of Qianghu.
In order to ensure the morale of the army as much as possible, the patriarch of the Qianghu tribe sent his most beloved only daughter Wan Yu out, and even appointed him as the commander of the three armies, with full authority to control all soldiers and horses, in order to ensure the authority of Wan Yu, the token of the patriarch was temporarily placed in the hands of Princess Wanyu.
With the patriarch's token in hand, Wan Yu's military orders are naturally unimpeded, but there is a problem, Wan Yu's fiancé, Hu Chengan, the actual controller of the Qiang Hu army, is also in the army.
Don't think it's great to have a patriarch token, Qianghu is a tribe in the form of an alliance, whoever has the ability, who will be on the throne, although the patriarch is in power, the authority is great, but a patriarch token, still can't really control the Qianghu 100,000 iron horses.
The Qianghu is a mixed ethnic group, in which there are Han people, Hu people, Qiang people, Han people to rob from Liangzhou the most people, in the Qianghu people also have the least right to speak, and even many times are used as a tool to cheat the city, of course, will also be used as coolies.
Among the Qiang-Hu people, the second of the Hu people is much higher than the Han people, and even about the same as the Qiang people, and the patriarch of the Qiang-Hu alliance is usually the Hu and the Qiang people take turns to be, well, there are also continuous Qiang people, continuous Hu people, there are exceptions.
