231, Liangzhou divides the cake

The new plot is [Liangzhou Yellow Turban]. The situation of this plot is similar to that of Yizhou, which is very complicated. And the degree of complexity is even higher than that of Yizhou. Zhang Lu of Yizhou, after all, is still a general of Daogong and belongs to insiders. The Yellow Turban in Liangzhou is divided into three parts, and only Song Yang and Wang Guo have a staff and commander troops, which can be regarded as authentic Liangzhou Yellow Turbans.

And the Yellow Turbans of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are simply composed of Xiqiang people, trying to take advantage of the troubled times of the Yellow Turbans to fight a little autumn wind and get a piece of the pie. Bian Zhang and Han Sui are even more powerful in the local area, and they are also trying to take advantage of the chaos. But in any case, compared to Zhang Lu, their qualifications are not so high, but they have to accept my arrangement.

It's just that the arrangement is one thing, and in comparison, they are not as close to the yellow scarf as Zhang Lu. After all, between Zhang Lu's Heavenly Master Dao and Taiping Dao, they all worship the same Lao Tzu. And Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were originally representatives of the Xiqiang forces, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui only represented themselves. It is impossible for these two families to be of one mind.

Fortunately, I did a very good job of preparing this time. Anyway, most of today's last battle is Yongzhou, and the troops over there are already enough, and there is no need to bring troops over, so I have already brought all the troops of the Commander Department that can be brought out today. In this way, with the addition of Song Yang and a staff headquarters of the kingdom, the strength of the Yellow Turban Headquarters in Liangzhou has reached six staff and command departments. And the two forces of Xiqiang and Jincheng each have only one staff department.

The strength of the army determines the combat strategy. The Yellow Turban Headquarters has three-quarters of its troops, so it is natural that it can attack more places. Therefore, the armies of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou decided to let them attack Jiuquan and Dunhuang. The armies of Bian Zhang and Han Sui were responsible for attacking Jincheng and Xiping.

There is no problem in the division of troops, but the biggest problem is the distribution of interests after the war. Since the Xiqiang people and the Bianzhang Department are not of the same heart, then they must have their own territory.

"Everyone, let's talk about the post-war distribution of territory. Since we are all brothers, I hope that after the war, everyone will not fight and just defend their own turf. Therefore, it is necessary to demarcate the territory now, so that everyone will not quarrel when the time comes. ”

Hearing my words, Bian Zhang spoke first: "Our requirements are not high, since we are responsible for sending troops to two counties, then both counties should be in our hands." When the time comes, the Huang Dynasty will have to openly recognize our territory. ”

Beigong Boyu agreed: "We have a request with the Jincheng Army, and the Huang Dynasty must also publicly recognize the territory of our two counties. ”

This is within my acceptable range, and I gladly agree. Anyway, the remaining seven counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye and Xihai are all in the hands of the Yellow Turban. I was worried that if the Yellow Turbans withdrew their troops, these two roads would take the opportunity to enter the army, but now that they have their guarantees, it will not be a problem.

The discussion has been decided, and Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, and Han Sui do not need to continue the meeting, and directly let them lead the troops. The rest of the things I used to discuss with Song Yang and the kingdom. The issue of this discussion is still the garrison of Liangzhou. Liangzhou is different from other states in that not only is it strong, but it is also not mobilized, and now it is all staying in place. Moreover, the foundation of the Liangzhou Yellow Turban is very thin, and there is no internal response at all, plus Liangzhou is a border land, and it has always been heavily guarded, and it is not easy to mix in with spies, so it is very difficult to fight.

So the task I gave to Song Yang and the kingdom was to attack Tianshui and Longxi. Song Yang fought Tianshui, and the kingdom fought Longxi. The remaining five counties and Xiliang City will be attacked by me. Neither Song Yang nor Wang Guoda had any objection to this.

Next, it is the question of how to arrange the interests of one's imperial court role in Liangzhou. Xiliangcheng and Anding, Tianshui, and Longxi are definitely not good. This is close to the territory of Yongzhou, which is related to the connection with the Yellow Dynasty. So these three counties will definitely be held by the yellow scarf. And the remaining three counties, it is more appropriate for the role of Xiong Er to take over. Beidi itself is next to Shangjun and Kuqiang, and Wuwei, Zhangye and Xihai go all the way through, just in time to control the Hexi Corridor.

So my decision is that all seven counties will be taken, but in the end only four counties will be defended. After the defeat of the seven counties, the main force retreated. In terms of the arrangement of troops, the five counties are all two Ya Shuai Divisions, and then each Staff Commander Department draws out the troops of three Ya Shuai Divisions and gathers them into the strength of three Commanders, responsible for attacking Xiliang City.

In terms of players, since it is determined that the three counties are mainly routed, the Yellow Turban players will also be arranged in these three counties. The transportation arteries of the three counties are also controlled by half of the mobile forces that the Yellow Turban players have handed over to me. This has invisibly reduced the pressure on our own troops.

Next, switch to the imperial camp to arrange the troops. And the court camp is actually as complicated as the yellow scarf. The current history of Liangzhou is Liang Hu, but the officers and soldiers of the entire Liangzhou are divided into three major forces. Liang Hu, Zuo Chang, and Song Xiao are each a major force. The system is set up, in addition to the top generals, the historical figures at the level of assassination and state pastor are all first-class generals, such as Xu Xuan. So all three of them are first-class generals.

Liang Hu's sphere of influence is in Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, and Beidi, which is relatively close to the mainland. Zuochang's sphere of influence was in the areas of Xiping, Jincheng, Zhangye, and Wuwei, and controlled the Hexi Corridor and the border of Xiqiang. The Song Xiao's sphere of influence was in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Xihai, and was adjacent to the Xiongnu, Hexi Xianbei, and the Western Regions.

Therefore, judging from the current division of troops of the Yellow Turbans, the target of the Xiqiang army will be Song Xiao's territory, the Jincheng army will attack Zuochang's territory, and the target of my headquarters army will be Liang Hu's territory.

These three people have formed their own gangs, and no one obeys anyone, so it is almost a mess. But after my arrival, that finally changed. Now I am the only commander in the imperial court camp, which means that my arrival, Liangzhou finally has the real supreme governor.

Although these three people fought infighting, they all shared information about the upcoming incident of the Xiqiang Army, the Jincheng Army and the Yellow Turban Headquarters. Because all three families are about to be attacked, it is rare to share the same enemy. When I was worrying about who would be in charge, I happened to send it to the door, and immediately made all three of them feel like they had picked up the treasure.

My arrival is nothing more than to allow the three of them to be able to join forces and not consume on infighting. For the rest, it is enough to prepare their own armies for battle. After all, you only need to defend the city, and everything is easy to say.

As for the players, since I want to take the four counties of Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye, and Xihai, the mobile forces of the players under my hands will naturally be sent to guard the main transportation routes. For the other players, it's up to them to choose their own objectives and play as they please. But now the court players seem to have become smarter, and they all wisely chose more remote places to invest their troops. Because they understand that the core place is the place where the Yellow Turban players are fiercely contested, and they don't need to wade through that troubled water.

Everything was decided, and with the arrival of three o'clock, the war officially began. I actually have a plan for this fight. The Liangzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is also one of the three major iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and the chance of winning a hard fight is definitely not great. Fortunately, Ding Yuan, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were personally recruited by me and also belonged to the list that could be mobilized. This battle brought out a yellow scarf of the Commander's Department, and I brought a Tooth Commander's Department of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, which was led by these people.

When he arrived at the city of Liangzhou, he couldn't help but say, let Lu Bu go out to challenge with a Cao Shuai's troops. Xiliangcheng sent out three generals to fight, and even Liang Hu came out, and in the end they were all captured alive by Lu Busheng. And Liang Hu's capture was a key node in the entire battle of Liangzhou. Because this is the opportunity for a peaceful solution to the Liangzhou issue.

personally untied Liang Hu and persuaded him to surrender. Liang Hu was noncommittal, because he said that the current coach of Liangzhou was not him, but the special envoy Xiong Er. Of course, I knew that Liang Hu was telling the truth, so I let him go back and contact Xiong Er's envoy to see how the matter was resolved.

As soon as Liang Hu left, I switched to the imperial court camp. The end result goes without saying. Zuo Chang and Song Xiao accepted my advice and decided to cede Jincheng, Xiping, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan, while Liang Hu gave up Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, and Xiliangcheng. As compensation, I will attack Hexi Xianbei, and Zuo Chang and Song Xiao will divide it in half afterwards, while Liang Hu will be in charge of Shangjun, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong.

Liang Hu returned to the Yellow Turban Army as an envoy, and everything was finalized immediately. So Xiliangcheng and Longxi, Anding, and Tianshui were included in the Yellow Dynasty. Song Yang and the kingdom have no qualifications, and the affairs of Liangzhou are completely managed by me. The Xiqiang army got Dunhuang and Jiuquan as they wished, and the Jincheng army also got Jincheng and Xiping as they wished. The imperial court camp was left with Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye, and Xihai, and the three actual controllers of these four counties were all under the leadership of Xiong Erma.

Next, my last thing on the battlefield in Liangzhou also began. That is to attack Hexi Xianbei.
