Chapter 349: Great Victory (2) 1/2
Lao Qiang's sneak attack did not make Tang Ji feel frightened, on the contrary, he was even more angry!
The Tangjian tribe suffered heavy casualties in this sneak attack, about 3,000 people were taken away and killed by Lao Qiang, and countless cattle and sheep were robbed.
However, the vitality of the tribe was not damaged.
Zhao Yun's timely counterattack caused the Tangyi tribe to react quickly and save most of their property.
The next day, Tang Jian led his troops to Zhaling Lake, and when he saw those clansmen, Tang Yan was annoyed and ashamed, and at the same time faintly worried.
It's mid-autumn, and the harsh winter of Hehuang is coming.
The Tangling tribe, which has lost a lot of cattle, sheep and rations, will face a dire situation, and if it is not effectively replenished, the entire tribe may be torn apart this winter.
"The king doesn't have to worry, my military advisor has already prepared grain and grass, which is enough to help the king survive the harsh winter."
Seeing this, Zhuge hurriedly comforted Tang Yan.
Tang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his words. If Xi Liang is willing to give him support, he is confident that he will survive the bitter cold. But the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and his hatred for Lao Qiang became more intense. Burn Dang is too ruthless this time! If it weren't for Zhao Yun's timely rescue, I was afraid that his entire tribe would be wiped out by Lao Qiang. If you say, Tang Jian still wanted to leave some affection before. But after this incident, Tang Jian also understood that the relationship between him and Lao Qiang had already become fire and water.
Ke most wanted to dominate Hehuang, but Tang Yu wanted to be able to enjoy autonomy.
The differences between the two people are irreconcilable, and since he Ke is so ruthless, Tang Ji doesn't have to worry about it anymore!
"Please Ziheng reply to Uncle Huang, just say that I am Lu Shui Sixteen Hu, I am willing to naturalize, and obey Uncle Huang's dispatch."
On strength. The Tang Clan is definitely not Ke's opponent.
Even if Tang Dian united the tribes around the head of the Cizhi River, it would be difficult to resist Lao Qiang's attack.
Although Liu Chuang wanted him to be naturalized, he agreed to keep the Qiang people with enough freedom and at the same time enjoy the support that Liu Chuang provided to them. If the Xiliang soldiers can enter Hehuang, with the sophisticated weapons of the Xiliang soldiers. Sufficient food is definitely able to compete with Ke the most.
"Three days later, I should meet Lu Shui Sixteen Hu in Zhaling Lake, and if I don't come to the alliance, I will be my mortal enemy from now on!"
Zhuge Jun smiled, secretly happy in his heart.
On the surface, though. He didn't show it, but gently comforted Tang Yan.
"If it weren't for General Zilong's help this time, more than 50,000 people in my tribe would have died in the hands of Na Ke.
Please ask Mr. Ziheng to report back to Uncle Huang, just say that I am Tang Yu but there is still a breath, and I will never let Na Ke go to Jincheng the most and transfer one more soldier and one pawn. ”
The purpose of the union with Tang Kuo. is to drag the burning of Lao Qiang.
Han Sui was unable to support himself in Jincheng, and believed that it would not take too long for Ma Chao to capture Jincheng.
Zhuge Jun nodded lightly, "With the king's words, I believe that the emperor will also be very happy!" ”

Xudu, Sikong House.
Cao Cao sat on the Taishi's chair with his eyes closed. It's like falling asleep.
However, there was a person standing in the lobby, who was talking about things with Cao Cao.
On both sides of the lobby, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and others also had solemn faces, quietly listening to the person's report.
Originally, Han Sui defended Jincheng County, wanting to delay time and wait for Lao Qiang to send troops to rescue.
However, the action of burning the old Qiang this time was too intense, which not only completely angered Lu Shuihu led by Tang Yan, but also made the white horse breed Qiang in the West Leaning Mountain also feel threatened. Therefore, troops were sent to help. Nowadays, the whole Hehuang is in turmoil, Tang Ji initiated an alliance in Hehuang, in addition to Lu Shui Sixteen Hu expressed his willingness to jointly resist Lao Qiang, it is the twelve Qiang located in Xiqiang also responded.
Lao Qiang is powerful. But he was dragged to death in the Hehuang Valley, unable to rush to Han Sui's aid.
Three days ago, Ma Chao attacked Jincheng County and killed Han Sui's general Cheng Yin Liangxing...... The Xiliang army has captured the two counties of Zhiyang and Yunjie, and the troops are directed at Yunwu. Now Ma Chao ordered his brother Ma Dai to be the pioneer and settled in the south of Huangshui. Han Sui repeatedly asked Wei Duan to send troops to rescue, but Wei Duan refused to send troops for a long time. In desperation, Han Sui sent people to Chang'an to ask Sikong for help, begging for reinforcements......"
Cheng Yu's gaze fell on Xun Yu's body.
After experiencing the first battle of Jizhou, Cheng Yu also understood that when it came to strategizing, he was indeed inferior to Xun Yu.
Previously, Cao Cao's five masterminds were not ranked. But now, Guo Jia was kidnapped by Liu Chuang and imprisoned in the mansion of General Yanjing; Jia Xu was on the order of Cao Cao to carry out the mission, so he did not come to participate in this meeting. Cheng Yu and Xun Yu are more proficient in tactics than layout.
Now that the situation in Liangzhou is so chaotic, Cheng Yu has to hope that Xun Yu can make suggestions......
Cao Cao said suddenly: "How can there be so many fierce generals under the tent?" ”
His eyes were scorching, but there was a faint hint of envy, "I also know a little bit about this Zhao Yun."
When I conquered Xuzhou, Tao Qian invited Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun was one of Liu Bei's main horsemen...... However, in the Battle of Xuzhou, this person did not play, so I did not pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, this person was so brave, with more than 100 cavalry, he actually resisted thousands of Lao Qiang's soldiers and horses, and even killed the fat injection...... It's a pity! This person is the brother of Chuang Er's wife, and if he wants to recruit this person, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Everyone didn't expect that Cao Cao would actually pay attention to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was at the head of the Cizhi River, seven in and seven out of the chaotic army, killing hundreds of Qiang generals, and countless soldiers. The Qiang people called Zhao Yun by the title of 'General', which also made Zhao Yun not only in Hehuang, but also in Xiliang Qianghu, and also knew his name. In addition, Zhao Yun is Ma Chao's brother-in-law, which also further enhances Liu Chuang's status in Xiliang. After the first battle of the Cizhi River, Liang Yuanbi, the king of Xiutu, who was located in the upper reaches of the Datong River and entrenched at the foot of the Sanwei Mountain in Dunhuang, personally sent people to Wuwei to express his submission to Ma Chao.
This Xiu Tuge is not the Duye Xiu Tuge who went to the Western Regions with Ma Chao back then, but a Qianghu tribe that has always been extremely independent.
Liang Yuanbi has an arrogant temperament, even when Ma Teng was in charge of Xiliang, he did not bow his head and surrender.
But now......
When Cao Cao said this, his words suddenly changed. He asked in a deep voice: "Today, Ma Chao is attacking Jincheng, once Jincheng is lost, it is inevitable that the entire Xiliang will be occupied by Ma Chao." Moreover, Chuang'er has won over Lu Shuihu again, and if the Hehuang Valley is controlled by him, he can threaten Wudu at any time.
Wei Duan this time. It's a bit too much!
Although Han Sui was a little wrong before, it was understandable...... Wei Duan sat back and didn't save him, and Han Sui would die. If Han Wenyue is killed by Ma Chao, the entire Xiliang will be completely controlled by Ma Chao. Chuang'er can control Xiliang without much effort, and the entire Liangzhou will be controlled by him at that time. ”
At this point, Cao Cao's intentions are already very clear.
Cheng Yu and Xun You also nodded lightly......
Cao Cao meant. Send troops to Liangzhou!
However, Xun Yu remained silent, and his face was always covered with a layer of solemnity.
"Wen Ruo, why don't you speak?"
Xun Yu raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Liangzhou has always been xenophobic and unwilling to be controlled by outsiders.
Previously. It took several years for Yuan Chang to get in touch with the scholars of Liangzhou. Jin Yuan is often captured by Liu Chuang, and the connections in his hands will inevitably be used by Liu Chuang. And Liu Chuang's capture of Hedong before also made Wei Duan and others jealous, and they were no longer as close to Sikong as before.
Bo Confucian is talented, but his temperament is high, not as mellow as Yuan Chang.
He sits in Guanzhong. It is okay to support each other with Wei Duan and others, but if he enters Liangzhou, it is difficult to ensure that he will have a dispute with the Liangzhou scholars......
It is reasonable for Sikong to want to save Han Sui, but he must not send troops to help, he should send someone to Longxi to discuss with Wei Duan, and it is most appropriate for him to send troops. If he rashly sent troops, it would be difficult to guarantee that Wei Duan's mind would not be suspicious, and it might backfire at that time. ”
Xun Yu also agreed to rescue Han Sui, but did not agree with Cao Cao sending troops.
Cao Cao frowned, and he was also a little embarrassed.
Today, Ma Chao's offensive in Jincheng is extremely fierce. Maybe when, then Han Sui couldn't support it and was harmed by Ma Chao.
This is by no means the result that Cao Cao wants to see, he hopes that Han Sui can live and contain Ma Chao. Contain Liu Chuang to maintain the current balance. It's a pity that Liu Chuang will never sit back and watch this balance, if he wants to win Guanzhong, he will inevitably control Liangzhou first. Judging from his current measures, Zhong Xuan is likely to have attached himself to Liu Chuang. If it weren't for this, Liu Chuang would never have been able to get Wei Duan's support.
Those Liangzhou scholars are even more unlikely to serve Liu Chuang!
Cao Cao suddenly had a feeling that he would not wait for me......
Liu Chuang took the lead step by step, first won a victory in Jizhou and captured Hedong. Then he negotiated peace with Cao Cao, but secretly stirred up the turmoil in Liangzhou. This is not willing to give me a respite! Cao Cao knew that Liu Chuang was forcing him to increase his troops to Liangzhou. However, as Tong Xun Yu said, once he sent troops to Liangzhou, it would inevitably make Wei Duan and others dissatisfied, and even turn against each other.
In the battle of Jizhou, Cao Cao had suffered heavy losses.
He originally planned to stabilize his position, but Liu Chuang refused to agree......
Is it to send troops, or not to send troops?
Cao Cao also felt very embarrassed in his heart......
After a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "If it is between Wen Ruo, who will be the envoy to Liangzhou?" ”
At this moment, Cao Zhen, who had been silent on the side, spoke: "My lord, although what Mr. Wen Ruo said has some truth, but on the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing. Even if the lord sent someone to discuss with Wei Duan, he would be able to ensure that the situation in the middle of the battle had not changed?
I heard that Ma Mengqi was brave and good at fighting.
And Han Sui's biggest reliance was to burn Lao Qiang, but now he was dragged to death by Lu Shuihu in the Hehuang Valley. Jincheng is a barren place, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, can Han Sui really hold on? When Wei Duan agreed to send troops, the golden city was broken, and there was no way to regret it. ”
Cao Zhen, as Cao Cao's nephew, has always been low-key.
Today, he suddenly jumped out to speak, which also made Cao Cao feel stunned.
He was very happy because he saw that the second generation of Cao had begun to show his talents...... Previously, only one Xiahou Shang and Cao Peng was far from enough, but now Cao Zhen has appeared, which has added a lot of confidence to Cao Cao. What Cao Zhen said is very reasonable, the battle situation is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee that Han Sui will be able to hold out until Wei Duan agrees to send troops to rescue. If...... If Han Sui insisted that Wei Duan could not agree to send troops, what should he do? It was absolutely impossible for that Ma Chao to give Han Sui any respite, not to mention that there was a Xu Shu by his side.
This matter is indeed a bit tricky.
Cao Cao couldn't make a decision for a while, and his eyes fell on Xun Yu again.
"Wen Ruo, what Zidan said, it is not impossible to ......"
