Chapter 427: Distant Communication
Can Zhuge be saved, and how can he be saved.
Yang Zheng has been thinking about these two questions.
A person's character is his fate, Zhuge Dan single-mindedly cut off Huainan and did not try to forge ahead, and his defeat was already doomed.
This is also where the great inertia of history lies.
Eastern Wu poured the country to the aid and fought bloody battles with the Wei army, but Zhuge Dan stood by in Shouchun City, and only let Wen Qin and other Eastern Wu soldiers and horses go out of the city to respond.
If you calculate too much, sometimes you can hurt yourself.
The two Mount Tai are overwhelmed, and there are so many thoughts, such a person can't be saved, and he can't be saved.
Even if Yang Zheng sent someone to say that there was a great drought in Huainan this year, I am afraid that Zhuge Dan's first reaction was to kill the messenger he sent, instead of thinking about countermeasures.
Besides, with the current situation, there is no need for countermeasures on the battlefield in Huainan, it is just a life-and-death wrestler.
The general trend of the world is basically clear and clear, and after Sima Zhao pacifies Huainan, he will definitely send troops to the northwest.
There is no doubt about it.
Judging from the information sent back from Huainan, after Sun Qi withdrew from the army, Zhuge was in danger of being born.
In fact, this kind of Taishan pressure is the most incomprehensible.
Sima Zhao didn't play with you at all, so he crushed it in a dignified manner.
Soochow and Huainan are not opponents at all.
It is equivalent to Sima Zhao alone taking on Zhuge Dan, Sun Qi, Jiang Wei, and himself.
Although Longyou was lost in Yongliang, in the overall situation, Sima was still profitable.
After this defeat, Wu is expected to have no strength for the Northern Expedition in the future.
Shu State is indescribable, and has not gnawed Chen Cang until now, and has refused Zhou Zhi's assistance.
Yang Zheng felt that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
This also shows that Jiang Wei is becoming more and more distrustful of himself.
"The sixth batch of Henan hunting cavalry returned to the Guzang camp today, capturing more than 10,000 livestock and 4,000 slaves." Meng Guan was overjoyed.
This figure is not surprising, Han Weiqing swept across the Henan region and captured nearly a million head of livestock.
It's October, and it's the season for livestock to be slaughtered.
This year is not a bumper harvest, but the grain collected by the government treasury still reached 3.7 million stones, and a total of 130,000 livestock were slaughtered in Hehuang, Hequ, Liangzhou, and Hetao, and the Liangzhou treasury was suddenly full.
2k
Suo Jing fulfilled Yang Zheng's requirement of 40,000 horses a year.
More than 10,000 war horses, with more than 20,000 pack horses and horses, so that the guards can all ride on horseback.
The foot soldier also gets two pack horses.
Mobei horses have only begun to be cultivated on a large scale this year, and at this rate, it will not take three years to be put into the army.
Cavalry is the lifeblood of Liangzhou, and it is also the only weapon that can break the situation in the future.
Therefore, Liangzhou attaches great importance to it.
In addition to war horses, another lifeblood is food.
The grain and straw division built granaries in Guzang, Jincheng, Tianshui, Shuofang, Zhangye, and Xihai respectively for the purpose of storing grain.
In addition to the grain produced by himself, he also smuggled a lot of grain from Shudi.
Today's Shu is leaking everywhere, and since Wei Qian is in charge of Shu affairs, the binding between Liangzhou and Shu has become more and more close.
Open trade, Shu brocade, tea, lacquerware, cloth and so on were continuously sent to Liangzhou, traded in Guzang, in exchange for leather livestock war horses.
Secretly traded, from Jiangyou to the north, through Yinping, selling everything.
Armaments, armor, repeaters, food, etc., in exchange for a lot of luxuries.
Even drawings of bow and crossbow armor were bought.
A Shu craftsman, the price of Liangzhou opened to thirty taels of gold.
Whether you come by yourself or are sold, you can get this money.
Thanks to these craftsmen, the pottery industry arose in Longxi and Jincheng.
The quality of the paper is getting better and better.
Iron mills and wooden mills have also ushered in rapid development.
Don't dare to say anything else, Liangzhou's swords and armor are getting better and better.
The crossbow machine is within fifty paces and can shoot through iron armor.
According to Yang Zheng's requirements, the bed crossbow and the car crossbow have been built, and the firing range can reach 400 steps.
Although this thing is bulky, it is equipped on the city wall, and it is a sharp weapon for defending the city!
Yang Zheng directly ordered the iron mill and the wooden workshop to open full firepower, make 300 planes on them, equip them to the Xiaoguan and Longshan defense lines, and give Sima Zhao a pot to drink when the time comes.
In these years, no allies have developed their own usefulness.
In other words, the stronger you are, the more allies you have.
You're weak, and there are hungry wolves staring at you everywhere.
"Liu Heng, where are they?" There is basically no need for Yang Zheng to worry about internal affairs, as long as the people are used correctly, and then with the supervision of the Xuanyi Division and the Jiuye Camp as the eyes and ears, the county officials and county orders in various parts of Liangzhou basically do things with their hearts.
Therefore, Yang Zheng can divide his energy, focus on military affairs, and handle everything in person.
"The news that came back yesterday is that I have finished resting in Cloud City, and I am about to send troops to Youzhou, but I ......" Meng Guan wanted to say and stopped.
"Just what?"
"Xianbei Suo's head Tuoba Liwei refused to allow our army to cross the border."
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tanshi Huai, who was born in Daijun, unified the Xianbei tribes and became the new overlord of the grassland, plundering the Eastern Han Dynasty to the south, resisting Ding Ling to the north, repelling Fuyu to the east, and attacking Wusun to the west, and once restored the prosperity of the Xiongnu.
It is divided into three parts: eastern, central and western.
After Cao Cao moved to the southern Xiongnu of Monan, the Xianbei people quickly occupied Monan.
After the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei killed each other for a while, and killed a Kebineng.
After Kebineng, Tuoba Liwei gradually became stronger.
From the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Tuoba Liwei rose in Monan, led the troops to live in Changchuan (now Yanggao County, Shanxi, east of Datong), well-governed, the surrounding tribes have been attached, the first nine years, that is, ten years ago, as a son-in-law to annex the most powerful Wulu Hui Department of Xianbei in the west, the control of the string is as high as 200,000!
This son-in-law made Yang Zheng feel ashamed.
It is said that Tuoba Liwei is so good, but he is quite low-key.
He has always been friendly with the Central Plains, restrained his subordinates, stopped the southward raids, befriended the Wei State, and lived a good life.
In that year, Sima Yi destroyed Liaodong, Biqiu Jian destroyed Goguryeo, and Tuoba Liwei sent troops to help.
The Xianbei tribes in Yunzhong that Liu Heng slaughtered were all nominally under the rule of Tuoba Liwei.
In other words, Yang Zheng has infringed on the interests of Tuoba Xianbei.
Tuoba is slightly low-key, so it has not always had a strong sense of existence.
"Hurry up and hurry, let Liu Heng not be an enemy of the Tuoba Department for the time being, and clean up the chaos in Yanmen first." In the current situation, there is no need to provoke a strong opponent.
200,000 cavalry get up, and the Hetao will never be at peace.
"Yui!" Meng Guan took the order and left.
Yang Zheng ordered someone to summon Du Pre and Wei Qian.
How to get along with Tuoba Xianbei has become a top priority now.
"Yunzhong, Dingxiang two counties are close to Tuoba and far away from Liangzhou, it is not appropriate to dispute with them at this time, the subordinates have heard that Tuoba is more than eighty years old, and the time is short, the leaders of the Xianbei tribes have always died, and the sons will fight for the throne, and they will fall into civil strife, and the general may wish to wait for a while." Wei Qian said.
"Eighty?" Yang Zheng was surprised, Sima Yi lived to be seventy-three years old, which can be called a long life.
Du pre-said: "Tuoba Xianbei has 200,000 people who control the strings, and our army has not been caught, and my subordinates also suggest that Tuoba Xianbei temporarily form a good alliance." ”
Not everyone can play Cao Cao's record of breaking the black huan.
And Cao Cao also took a huge risk when he broke Wuhuan.
Now that the labor division is on an expedition to Daijun, it is better to have a big profit from waving the army south to attack Shu......
Distant inbring, not outbred inbred.
"Then send a messenger and bring a few carts of Western Regions specialties to find out what Tuoba Liwei means." Yang Zheng ordered.
