Chapter 107: Westward Expansion

In the past, Yang Zheng and Xiahouba were around, which would inevitably cause the jealousy of the generals, but since Li Mi died inexplicably, the generals of Longxi gradually respected Yang Zheng.

Things gather people in groups, others don't want to see them, and Yang Zheng can't afford to stick a hot face.

"You all say, should our army go north to intercept Ye Wudai, or rescue the Western Capital first?" Xiahou Ba convened the generals to meet.

Since you are a pioneer, you must have the appearance of a pioneer.

There was a knife on his back, and no one felt happy.

To be promoted to a general in Longxi, it is definitely not enough to rely on brute courage, but also to have eyes.

To this day, who doesn't know that Xiahou Ba was used as a spearhead by Guo Huai?

In the Yongliang General School over the years, there are fewer and fewer people who are purely born in the army, and most of them have a certain background.

"Sixty or seventy thousand people in Qianghu, and they are familiar with the geographical advantages of Xiping, we will be ambushed by the elite soldiers, it is better to feint to break through Qiang City, and attack and wait, until we meet with the former general." He Hui said.

His words also represent the meaning of the vast majority of people.

Ye Wudai was gaining momentum, and no one would think that 11,000 Longxi troops would be able to repel them.

Moreover, this army of more than 10,000 people has a lot of water.

Except for the three thousand elites in Xiahou Ba's hands, plus Yang Zheng's Qiang soldiers can be used, the others look like farmers who have just put down their hoes.

Of course, the farmers in the northwest were also very tough in this era.

But without training and equipment, no matter how strong it is, it will not come in handy.

"What Captain He said is very true, the enemy is strong and strong, and it is not advisable to rush forward, so you should stick to it and wait for help."

Soon someone echoed He Hui.

Xiahou Ba's face was a little ugly.

When he set out on the expedition, he had high morale, thinking that Qianghu was a rabble, and although there were many soldiers and horses, they were vulnerable.

However, the actual situation is not optimistic.

It is not that He Hui, Liu Qin, Wang Qi and others are timid, but that the current environment is not optimistic.

In the court, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi competed for power.

Yongliang has Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba infighting.

"What does Xingyun think?" Xiahou Ba's gaze turned to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng took a deep breath, and among the people present, he was probably the only one who had the most right to speak.

The combat power of the Hu people in Yesujiang, he has already understood.

Adhering to the strong martial arts style of the Han Dynasty, the strongest combat power in this era is still in Wei Shu Wu.

Otherwise, in such a chaotic era with a withered population, the surrounding alien races would have risen long ago.

Cao Wei suppressed Zhuyi, Shu conquered the south, set up a governor, and incorporated the land of central Yunnan into the territory.

Wu also conquered Shanyue, collected Liuqiu and Jiaozhou.

Normally, the Central Plains Dynasty does not give a chance, and the surrounding alien races have no chance at all.

In the world of the Warring States War, there was still Meng Tian to take the Hetao, and Li Mu broke the Huns.

However, when it came to the Sima Jin room of the great unification......

"The subordinates think that there is nothing to break it!" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice.

There was a loud "hissing" in the tent, and many pairs of eyes turned around.

Xiahou Ba's face was still ugly, but his eyes had softened, and he snorted coldly: "Hugh wants to blow the atmosphere, there are sixty or seventy thousand enemies, and we are only more than ten thousand people, how to break it?" ”

Yang Zheng arched his hand and said: "The soldiers are not expensive and expensive, Ye Wudai is known as 100,000 people, but its capable fighters are only one or two hundred thousand core Xihai Hu cavalry, if he is in the open place of Wuwei, our army hits the stone with eggs, but there are many mountains in Xiping, which is the length of our army, at this time, the subordinates think that they can bypass the broken Qiang and Anyi, go straight to the Western Capital, relieve the siege of the Western Capital, take the ordnance and grain of the Western Capital, and turn to attack the West Sea! ”

Since it is a military discussion, it is natural to be imaginative.

As for feasibility, it is not within Yang Zheng's consideration.

The decision-maker is Xiahouba.

Throughout the ages, there have been many conspirators, and few people have been able to make judgments.

No matter how good the strategy is, if those in power don't listen to it, it won't help.

Historically, there have been many examples of this.

"This strategy is too dangerous, if things are not harmonious, isn't it a mistake?" He Hui objected.

The words before and after are very apt.

Guo Huai has already done it once in Fengzhong.

Sit and watch Xiahou Ba being besieged by Jiang Wei.

"Isn't it self-defeating to do so?"

"It's never going to work!"

……

There was a lot of opposition in the tent.

As a last resort, who wants to put their head on the crotch of their pants to play with their lives?

Yang Zheng is just throwing bricks and jade.

Even if Xiahou Ba agrees to do this, no one knows what the battle will look like.

However, Yang Zheng knew one thing, Guo Huai would definitely not let Xiahou Ba have a good time.

Rather than being splinted, it's better to give it a go.

There are still opportunities.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jian'an was divided into Jincheng and Xiping County, and the western capital (now Xining City) was governed.

Emperor Wen of Wei expanded the western capital in the third year of the Huang Dynasty, used the city to control the Huangshui Valley, moved the right Han people to settle in, opened up the reclamation widely, and stored grain and ordnance.

This is also the reason why Guo Dun was able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Qianghu.

The tent gradually fell silent.

are waiting for Xiahou Ba's final decision.

Xiahou Ba's eyes shot at the male light, and suddenly slapped it with a palm, and the wood was torn apart, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger!" Ye Wudai's army rushed to Wuwei, the West Sea was just empty, I had made up my mind, go to Xiping first, and then attack the West Sea! ”

People with bold personalities are often very decisive.

Xiahou Ba is known as his father Xiahou Yuan's brave and fierce style, and Yang Zheng has been taught many times.

I saw Xiahou Ba slowly stand up, with a few cold glints in his eyes, "He Hui, Liu Qin, Wang Qi, the three of you continue to feint to break through the Qiang, and the grain, grass and ordnance in the army will be allocated to a certain and Xingyun first." ”

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xiahou Ba's preference for lack is undoubtedly a clever move.

The long journey, unwilling and unwilling, will drag down the whole army and increase the pressure on logistics.

Six thousand elites, no more, no less, can already do a lot in the northwest.

"Yang Xingyun, do you dare to go with a certain person?" Xiahou Ba's eyes seemed to have two flames gathered.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the plan was proposed by himself, what is the matter if he doesn't go?

It's not so much an order as an invitation from Xiahouba.

It seems that at this moment, Yang Zheng is no longer just his subordinate.

Those who can recognize heroes are only heroes.

"Why don't you dare?" Yang Zheng bowed his hand.

Xiahou Ba raised his head and laughed, full of pride, "Okay, I use the strategy of Xingyun, and I will break the Qiang!" ”

The plan has been decided and will be implemented immediately.

Xiahouba's 3,000 elites, plus Yang Zheng's 3,000 Qiang soldiers, morale is also high.

Yang Zheng looked at his subordinates, and many young faces didn't know what kind of hard battle they were going to face.

However, they trust Yang Zheng as always.

Fighting spirit is high as always.

Yang Zheng has debuted so far, although it is tragic, but when it is time to be reluctant, when it is time to play with his life, God forbid, he has not been defeated, and his subordinates' confidence in him is of course very high.

And Xiahou Ba's more than 3,000 elites, half of them are two-horse light horses, well-equipped, wearing iron armor, holding spears, waist hanging ring swords, all Kansai men, dragon spirit and tiger fierce, following Xiahou Ba for many years.

On that day, the Huangshui was rushing wantonly, the summer wind coming down from the Qilian Mountain was still roaring, and the floating clouds were like horses galloping in the sky.

The rolling peaks are covered with snow.

To the south of the snowy peak, the horses are urging, like dark clouds, marching westward on the blue and yellow earth.
