Chapter 120: Stone City Comes from the Sky
The plan agreed upon by Li Zheng and Xi Zhicai and other strategists at the beginning revolved around one purpose, that is, to weaken the Huns. When the Huns were weakened, they would send troops to break through.
At first, he chose Han as the object of support, because he saw that Han did not have echinoderm pigs, while Su Bu and Lan had echinoderm pigs. Take it as the core of interests, provoke the contradictions between the three departments, and then act as a driving force behind the scenes, let the three departments fight and weaken their power.
However, Li Zheng, Xi Zhicai and others all know that it is not easy to let the three departments fight.
They are all great forces that have gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, and it is impossible to enter them lightly.
So, the focus shifted to supporting small tribes. Starting with the dispute between the Han clan and the Lan clan and the Su Bu clan, it gave a false signal to the small tribes below, making them think that the upper tribes were indeed going to fight, so they dared to have no scruples.
Later, Li Zheng and others used their interests to bewitch and incite them to attack each other and expand the situation.
But at the same time, Xi Zhicai and others also speculated that when the situation expands to a certain extent, the three major forces will definitely suppress it. There are only two reasons for this. One is that they don't want to see the small tribes below merge and grow when they attack each other. This is a potential threat to their rule. Second, he is afraid of Li Zheng. No matter how secretive Li Zheng is, even the three major forces don't know at all, but Li Zheng is beside them after all. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? It is impossible for them not to understand that the civil strife of the Huns will give people a chance!
Therefore, Li Zheng will secretly subdue several small tribes, just to prepare for this. Once the three major Xiongnu forces sent troops to suppress it, presumably many small tribes would not dare to resist, so wouldn't all the qiē that Li Zheng had done before be put to waste? And these small tribes that were subdued played a huge role at this time. They will, with the support of Li Zheng, brazenly resist. First, to set an example for other small tribes. The two of them want to hold Li Zheng's support, gradually annex more small tribes, grow stronger, and compete with the three major forces.
Of course, this is inseparable from Li Zheng's support. Even at a certain time, Li Zheng will directly send troops to help.
If nothing else, this is the best way forward.
provoked civil strife among the Xiongnu, supported the new forces, and countered the old forces, so that they continued to fight and gradually weakened, and were finally annexed by Li Zheng.
However, there was a turning point in the middle, and that was the upgrade of the system.
When the system was upgraded, Li Zheng bought a terrain conversion blueprint from the secret shop. Originally, Li Zheng did not want to use it for war. After all, in Li Zheng's view, it is of greater significance to use this kind of drawing in the construction of people's livelihood.
However, the bad news of Fu Xie's attack changed Li Zheng's mind.
He suddenly felt that if he could intervene in the general trend of the Central Plains as soon as possible, he might be able to obtain greater benefits. For example, the population, the war in the Central Plains has not yet been carried out on a large scale, and the loss rate of the population is not large, if they wait for them to fight a mess, the Central Plains will be in ruins, and it will be a waste land in their hands, and it will be even more difficult to develop.
Secondly, there is talent.
At this time, although many princes in the Central Plains fought openly and secretly, they still did not compete for hegemony under a clear banner. So a lot of powerful talents are still in the opposition. Without the strength of these talents, the current princes are not so powerful. Besides, it would be a pleasure to summon them to his command.
In the end, Fu Xie's attack made Li Zheng realize his powerlessness against the Central Plains. Maybe in his mind, there will always be only such a special person as Fu Xie. But if you can minimize the chance, or even eliminate it, that's the best.
Therefore, Li Zheng decided to solve the hidden danger of the Xiongnu in the north of Liangzhou as much as possible, and did not hesitate to use the drawings here.
And the conditions are met, the Bailuo tribe is still a Xiongnu force on the surface. But in fact, he has already taken refuge in Li Zheng, and the important generals under his command are all played by Li Zheng. It is also clearly marked on the map.
The terrain conversion blueprint can be used on the ground of the White Fall tribe.
As long as all the targets are gathered, Li Zheng will immediately attack and wipe them out!
As for why the Tu Ministries were also involved, it was because of Li Zheng's previous negligence. The only ones that directly bordered Li Zheng, or who had direct contradictions, were the Han family, the Lan family, and the Xu Bu family. Between Tu and Li Zheng, there is a small piece of Lan territory, and there is no border, and there is no direct contradiction.
So I never thought of it.
This time, when I arrived at Baishuichuan and carefully sorted out the surrounding forces, I took it into view. Only then did I find that there was such a powerful tribe that was not inferior to the three major forces, and it was not far from the north of its territory.
Therefore, he encouraged the small tribe of the Han clan, and even let the soldiers under his command pretend to be Huns, secretly cross the territory of the Lan clan, and go to cleanse and slaughter the small tribes to which the various tribes belong.
Now, all the four major forces are in the background. They want to hold a tribal assembly, which is also in the calculation of Xi Zhicai and others. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of convening a tribal meeting to gather troops and horses to attack Baishuichuan, which was also in the calculation of Xi Zhicai and others.
It takes time to weaken the strategy, and it will be closed within a year or two. And with the use of drawings, as long as a qiē is well prepared, regardless of its strength or weakness, it can fight and fight.
The two of them sorted out many calculations before and after, and Li Zheng threw out the idea of using terrain to convert drawings, and Xi Zhicai suddenly realized.
"It turns out that the lord has this sharp weapon, and the current situation is indeed just right." Not long after Xi Zhi arrived under Li Zheng's command, although he had heard about the change in the topography of Baishuichuan, after all, his thinking had not completely changed, and he did not think of this aspect.
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment, and then said: "Lord, if you break this Xiongnu force and take this grassland, you will border the Xianbei people, and the pros and cons need to be carefully considered." ”
Li Zheng bowed his head slightly and said, "But no matter what, the Huns must fight." You can't be afraid just because there are Xianbei people behind. I don't care about the Huns, and the same goes for the Xianbei people. Moreover, since the death of the Xianbei Great Khan Tanshi Huai, Helian could not control the situation, and Xianbei was divided into three parts, and his power was weakened. The north of this Liangzhou is the territory of Xianbei in the west, only this one, the power is not as strong as the Xiongnu, how can I be deterred? ”
Xi Zhicai bowed slightly: "Presumably, with the momentum of a great victory over the Huns, the Xianbei people will not dare to go south in a short time!" ”
"Exactly."
In the first year of the first peace, in mid-June.
The Han, Xubu, Lan and Tu tribes jointly convened a meeting of the Xiongnu tribes on the right.
On that day, thousands of Xiongnu tribes, each with soldiers and horses, came to the Bailuo tribe one after another. The whole tribe immediately became crowded.
According to their status and power, each tribe chose a location to set up camp, and the Bailuo tribe was also busy setting up a venue to prepare for the next day's tribal meeting.
At night, Li Zheng is communicating with Bailuo through the blue flying bird.
"Up to now, there have been more than 5,000 tribes and tribes that have arrived in the tribal territory, and the gathered strength has reached 300,000 horses, and the camp tent has spread to thirty miles away!"
"So, have the heads of the Han clan and other big forces arrived?"
"It's all here."
"That's good, you just don't need to miss the flaws, and you can work hard with the crowd, after this battle, this general will have a heavy reward!"
"Thank you, please rest assured, Bai Luo will not disappoint the lord!"
This series of exchanges with the blue birds is naturally silent, and no one knows about it. Seeing Bai Luo and a little bird looking at each other, except for the important people sent by Li Zheng under Bai Luo, everyone thought it was just a hobby.
The next day, the right Xiongnu tribal meeting was held as scheduled.
The heads of the Han clan, the Lan clan, the Su Bu clan, and the Tu clan, the heads of the four major forces were at the forefront of the venue. The first step of the conference is to slaughter the animals and sacrifice to the immortals.
The whole scene, the flags were waving, the voices were boiling, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily warm. The leaders of the four major forces stood on the front platform, looking down on the leaders of the major tribes below, quite high-spirited.
The sacred sacrifice was about to begin, and suddenly, the ground shook suddenly! In the entire venue, the banners fell to the ground, the sacrifices were scattered, and all the leaders of the Huns couldn't help but panic. Immediately, the venue was in chaos!
Some hurriedly lay on the ground and prayed to the immortal heaven, or repented sincerely, or cursed in a panic. Some of them are scattered and running around, pushing and shouting, so that there is no confusion.
No matter how the leaders of the four major forces shout, they can't stop it.
In the face of this kind of heavenly might, the four major forces naturally did not work, and even they themselves became a pot of porridge.
This kind of tremor, with the northeast of the Shirasui River as the boundary, spread to the entire territory of the Shirakubu!
Stone walls several feet thick and completely indestructible rose from the ground and quickly generated, enclosing the entire center of the Bailuo Tribe, the area where the tribal assembly was held and all the tribes were stationed. This stone wall is thirty feet high and surrounded on all sides, forming a huge stone city that will shock anyone.
In this huge stone city, another slightly lower inner wall was formed, and the inner wall was divided into four square areas, and a piece of private houses, shops, government offices and other buildings grew out.
In just a few moments, the entire giant stone city was formed!
It's a scene of chaos in the city.
Hundreds of thousands of Huns gathered in this stone city, watching this stone city grow out, watching the houses grow out, scared wolves and dolphins, farts and urine!
The formation of the stone castle, although it caused a huge earthquake, did not cause casualties. On the contrary, the Huns panicked, pushed, and trampled, causing a large number of deaths.
Just for a moment, at least thousands of people died because of it!
