Chapter 866: Recapture Xiliang
"General, Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, the leaders of the Qiang people, led the Qiang army, burned the camp and fled back to the land of Xiqiang!"
"Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu's leader Li Wenhou and led Huang Zhongyi to flee from Hu back to Huangzhong in Jincheng County!"
"The Di general Lu Guang rebelled, and the generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, and Xu Cheng held Fu Jian hostage, and all the Di people and the army were taken away by them!"
Xiliang Thorn Shi Xie Ai was greatly damaged because of the rebellion of the Qiang and Di people.
At present, by Xie Ai's side, only Xu Huang and Pang De are two loyal generals.
Moreover, Xie Ai's elite troops, only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is available.
Huang Zhongyi left the Xiliang army from Hu, as well as the elite troops of the Qiang and Di people, and Xie Ai was no longer able to resist Xu Fengnian's offensive.
Xu Fengnian has a fierce general Ma Chao, and Huo An supports his general Huo Quai.
Pang De is not as brave as Ma Chao, Xu Huang is not as good as Huo Qubing in commanding troops, and there is no advantage in troops.
The morale of the Xiliang army has dropped to a certain extent.
Xie Ai was lonely.
"The three counties are too guarded to see that the situation is not good, and they have defected to the Qiang people!"
Not only did the Qiang and Di people rebel, but the three players were too guarded, and because they were afraid of falling into the hands of Xu Fengnian, they led the soldiers and horses of the three counties and fled to the Qiang tribe, and merged with Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang to avoid Xu Fengnian's edge.
The three players are too guarded, and each of them has at least twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, so they are valued by Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, and they become guest generals in the Qiang tribe, and their status is not low.
Xie Ai's army was even weaker, with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses left.
On the other side, Xu Fengnian's troops reached more than 200,000.
"Lord Thorn, what should we do?"
Xu Huang admired Xie Ai's strategy, and was still very convinced of Xie Ai, at this time, the Xiliang army fell apart, and he and Pang De took Xie Ai as the leader, wanting to know Xie Ai's specific attitude.
Pang De was young and vigorous, and said to Xie Ai: "It's better to fight with Xu Fengnian and Huo Qu to die of illness, and a certain person is willing to raise a knife and fight to the last person!" β
Xie Ai said: "The deceased is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Ming Gong has passed away, and there are still 70,000 soldiers and horses with him, we can die in battle, but it is really unnecessary to take the lives of 70,000 soldiers and horses. It is better to retreat to the right to support the wind and look at the situation again. β
After Xie Ai made a decision, Xie Ai, who only had two generals left, withdrew his troops from Xiliang, completely relinquished Liangzhou, and retreated to the right Fufeng in Guanzhong to rest and recuperate, while waiting and seeing.
In fact, in Xie Ai's view, with the death of Lao Qin, the accession of LΓΌ Bu, the Qiang rebellion and other events, the probability of the Qin army winning is very slim.
What Xie Ai needed was to meet with any of Jia Xu, Li Si, and Yang Dayan, and wanted to know what Lao Qin's arrangements were.
Xie Ai's Xiliang army retreated, and Xu Fengnian, the original lord of Longxi, recaptured Xiliang again.
"I didn't expect to recapture Liangzhou in such a way, Lao Qin, a powerful opponent, lost to himself."
After Xu Fengnian learned that Xie Ai had withdrawn from Liangzhou, he did not lead his troops to pursue.
Xie Ai also has Xu Huang and Pang De two generals around him, of which Xie Ai is a wise general, Xu Huang is one of the five good generals, and Pang De is a fierce general, Xie Ai still has 70,000 soldiers and horses, if he pursues, Xie Ai turns back, the fish dies and the net is broken, and it is inevitable that there will be greater losses.
Secondly, Xu Fengnian believed that there was no need to pursue.
Xie Ai fled back to Guanzhong, Chu Tian and Xu Fengnian attacked Guanzhong from Hedong and Xiliang respectively, and most of Xie Ai's army was unable to fly.
"If you can persuade Xie Ai to surrender, then Chu Zimou will get a wise general, as well as Xu Huang and Pang De, so there is no need to form a mortal enemy."
Xu Fengnian's army advanced all the way and conquered Wuwei County, Hanyang County, and Longxi County successively.
When entering Longxi County, Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others couldn't help but sigh when they saw the familiar Di Dao, which used to be their main city.
After many years, they returned to Longxi.
It's just that things are not people.
"Lord, if we return to Longxi, can we still divide one side?"
Han Sui asked Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian is just the year of his establishment, and there is still time to re-divide it.
Now most of Liangzhou is in the hands of Xu Fengnian.
As long as Xu Fengnian is willing, he can return to the helm of Xiliang.
"No, since you have already agreed to take refuge in Chu Zimou, there is no need to go back. Liangzhou has experienced many wars and should have calmed down from now on. β
Xu Fengnian has lost his original edge, and now he is full of spirit.
Now Xu Fengnian recaptured Liangzhou, just to make up for the regret of losing Liangzhou at the beginning.
"What is the reason for Xie Ai's withdrawal?"
"The spies have found out that the Qiang people, the Di tribes, and the three county Taishou rebelled and betrayed Xie Ai. The Qiang people divided the area of Huangzhong in Jincheng County, as well as the area of Qinghai, and called themselves the Qiang Kingdom. The Di tribe seized Wudu County, blocked the Qishan Mountain Road, and proclaimed itself the Di Kingdom. β
"I see, I said that Xie Ai has many fierce generals, and he has no lack of resourcefulness, why did he take the initiative to give up Liangzhou, it turned out to be an internal rebellion. Jincheng County and Wudu County in Liangzhou are occupied by the Qiang people and Di people, and it seems that it is not so easy to completely pacify Liangzhou. β
Xu Fengnian, as the original lord of Longxi, knew that it was not simple to pacify the Qiang and Di tribes.
It's not that you can't defeat the Qiang and Di tribes, but because the Qiang and Di people live in deep mountains, old forests, plateaus and mountains, and it takes a lot of time and energy to pacify these tribes.
"Wait, the Di people ran to Wudu County, so ......"
Xu Fengnian guessed the route of the Diren rebels' march.
The last time Zhang Dao sent troops to attack Liangzhou, it was to attack Wudu County and send troops out of Qishan.
Now that the Diren rebels have gone the opposite way, entered the Qishan Mountain Road, and captured Wudu County, then the next target is likely to be Hanzhong.
The rebels were outnumbered and needed a rich place to be supplied.
Hanzhong County, which Zhang Dao runs, is a piece of fat in the eyes of the Diren rebels.
Moreover, the terrain of Hanzhong is relatively closed, and it can be a country of its own.
"Zhang Dao seems to be at war with Yang Su, and the Diren rebels entered Hanzhong at this time, and Hanzhong, which has always been calm, is estimated to suffer."
It is not easy for Xu Fengnian to save Zhang Dao, because the Qishan Mountain Road has been controlled by the Di rebels, and as long as an army is stationed in Qishan, Xu Fengnian can be delayed for a long time.
There are also Qiang rebels in Liangzhou, and the three counties are in rebellion.
In Wudu County, Fu Jian was held hostage here by the Qiang rebels, with a gloomy expression.
He was held hostage by the rebels and forced to become the leader of the rebels.
The generals of the rebel army want to conquer Hanzhong and establish a kingdom.
Fu Jian is not very optimistic, because the princes have entered the later stage, the powerful princes in the early stage have become stronger, and the princes who rose in the later period have no chance.
Lu Guang, the fierce general of the Di people, as well as Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Xu Cheng and others of the Han people, all wanted to achieve great things.
LΓΌ Guangren spread out the sheepskin map: "Hanzhong Zhang Dao, fighting with Bajun Taishou Yang Su, the troops are gathered in the south of Hanzhong, we set out from Wudu County and attack Hanzhong, Hanzhong must be in our bag." β
"I heard that Zhang Dao has three brothers under Zhang Jiao, as well as generals Li Zicheng, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang, who can quickly recruit soldiers and horses."
"A few of us joined forces, although there are many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, it is just a group of local chickens and dogs."
"Then immediately march to the Hanzhong Army!"
The Diren rebels captured Wudu County and marched to Hanzhong.
Monarch Fu Jian was once again held hostage by rebel generals.
The leader of Hanzhong advocated that he was scouting under Wudu County, and when he learned that the rebel army of the Di people was driving straight in and wanted to take Hanzhong, he couldn't help frowning.
"My luck seems to be too bad......"
