Chapter 104: Civil Strife in Jincheng

Liangzhou has always been a mixed area of Han and Hu, after the Han Dynasty Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, the Hexi Corridor of Liangzhou has become a necessary place to pass through together with the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The Han Dynasty has always set up the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions, but with the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate has long existed in name only.

After Cao Wei seized Liangzhou, he rebuilt the Western Regions Changshi Mansion in Loulan, and nominally regained control of the Western Regions.

These countries are large and small, but in the face of a large country like Cao Wei, they are all small countries that do not even have a single county.

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and became emperor, he ordered Cao Zhen to oversee the Qiang and Hu coalition forces, pacify Hexi, send envoys to restore the Western Regions, restore the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Western Regions, and set up the Western Regions Governor's Mansion and appoint Wuji Captain, which marked that the Central Plains Dynasty was gradually restoring its dominance over the Western Regions.

However, during this period, the central government's control over the Western Regions was not firm, and Cui Lin, the great Honglu in the Cao Pi Dynasty, once said that since the king of Qiuzi sent his son to the court and received a generous gift, "the rest of the country sent his son to the court...... Lin is afraid that what he is sending is not true, and the right to take it belongs to Jiahu."

It can be seen that at this time, the Central Plains' deterrent effect on the countries of the Western Regions is not enough, although the exchanges between the two sides are resuming, and the exchanges are becoming more and more frequent.

But the Central Plains Dynasty knew very little about the Western Regions, so much so that the Western Regions could take advantage of this to deceive.

Cao Wei was unable to effectively control these small states, and could only maintain nominal rule, maintaining an intermittent tributary system.

The lifeblood of the tributary system lies in the Hexi Corridor, which is almost the only passage connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The most important pass connecting the Hexi Corridor and the Central Plains is the Yumen Pass in Liangzhou, which is the end point of the Great Wall to the west, and the Western Regions enter the Hexi Corridor.

It is precisely because of the unparalleled strategic location of Jincheng that Jiang Weicai led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jincheng, as long as Jincheng can be captured, the Han can completely cut off the connection with Yongliang, and it is even possible to recover the countries of the Western Regions.

Before Jiang Wei crossed over, he had seen a question somewhere, asking why there were foreign invasions when the Central Plains was in turmoil in all dynasties, but only during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no foreign invasion.

The later answer was also very angry, the alien race didn't want to, but it really couldn't, not to mention that Cao Cao hung and beat the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di and other alien races; Even Sun Wu also beat Shanyue; Weak as Shu Han can also capture Meng Shu seven times, and beat Nanban convincingly.

Therefore, in Jiang Wei's view, the alien races in this period will selectively bet on powerful forces, just like Oh He Yaoge, at this time, following Jiang Wei to Jincheng, is betting on Shu Han.

The reason is also very simple, I can't beat you, so I choose to join you and bully others with you.

This is also a way to survive in troubled times.

After marching for five days, the army reached twenty miles outside the Golden City.

In order to prevent the army from being exposed in advance, Jiang Wei chose to camp twenty miles outside Jincheng, and then recruited Oh He Yaoge and asked him to contact his Hu brothers: Baihu Wen and Zhi Wudai.

The Hu people are actually a very broad concept, which refers to all ethnic groups in the Western Regions that are not easy to divide, and the so-called Hu people in the Western Regions include many ethnic groups, such as the Loulan people, the Jingjue people, the Qiuzi people, the Shanshan people, and ......so on.

In addition to the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, Di, Qian and other great alien races, other western aliens, and even foreigners, can be called Hu people.

According to Oh He Yaoge, Baihu Wen and Zhi Wudai were the two largest Hu forces of the Liangzhou generation.

Jiang Wei pondered carefully, it is estimated that the power is not very big, after all, if it is really strong enough, it will build its own country, it should be the kind of big tribe between the rogue and the small country!

Jiang Wei instructed Oh He Yao Ge and asked Oh He Yao Ge to make an agreement with the two Hu kings to attack Jincheng together on the fifth day of the seventh month.

Jiang Wei promised that after conquering Jincheng, he would give a large reward to the two Hu kings, and each tribe would reward 20,000 baht!

Jiang Wei knew that Jincheng was an important town on the Silk Road, and the merchants in the city were gathered, and the commerce was developed, and the treasury in the city should be very solid, as long as the Jincheng was laid, he would definitely be able to afford this honorarium.

Two days later, he reported in a hurry, saying that the two Hu kings had agreed and were willing to send troops to attack Jincheng with Jiang Wei, and the two departments together sent a total of 6,000 Hu cavalry.

On the appointed day on the fifth day of the seventh month, Jiang Wei led a large army to the city of Jincheng.

But when he arrived at the foot of Jincheng City, he saw a scene that surprised Jiang Wei.

The gate of Jincheng is closed, but the sound of killing in Jincheng is shocking, looking at the city head from a distance, you can also see soldiers on the city wall slashing each other, and for a while you can't tell who is who?

"Could it be that the two Hu kings, Baihuwen and Zhi Wudai, took the lead in attacking the city?" Ma Dai looked at the battle at the head of the city and asked him curiously.

Oh He Yaoge looked confused, "It's impossible, Baihuwen and Zhi Wudai, the two Hu kings, all of them are Hu cavalry, and they don't bring siege equipment, so it's impossible to attack the city one step ahead of our army!" ”

Jiang Wei couldn't figure out what was going on?

According to the original plan, Jiang Wei planned to push Chen Tai to the city of Jincheng and use Chen Tai's life as a threat to force the defenders of Jincheng to surrender.

But now there is chaos in Jincheng, which makes Jiang Wei a little caught off guard.

Behind Jiang Wei, Chen Tai, who was tied up with five flowers and gagged with a cotton cloth, saw the sound of killing at the head of the city, and immediately struggled, and the gagged mouth kept making a "woo" sound.

Maybe Chen Tai can know what happened inside Jincheng? So Jiang Wei took away the cotton cloth that plugged Chen Tai's mouth.

Chen Tai was finally able to speak, he adjusted his breathing slightly, took a deep breath, and then looked at Jiang Weidao with an anxious expression:

"Liu Bao is reversed! It must be Liu Bao who is reversed, the damned Huns, the treacherous dog slaves, who are actually making trouble in the city! ”

"The Huns? Liu Bao? "Guan Yinping is very curious." How could the Huns still have the surname Liu? ”

Ma Dai hurriedly explained to Guan Yinping.

"Madam, my Han and the Huns are close to each other, and I have married many princesses, all of whom are surnamed Liu, and the Huns respect their mother's surname, so many Xiongnu princes and grandchildren will follow their mother's surname, and it is not surprising that the surname is Liu!"

Chen Tai gritted his teeth and said:

"This Liu Bao's father is the Xiongnu Han Yu Fuluo, who once took advantage of Dong Zhuo's rebellion to lead the Xiongnu to invade the Central Plains, plundering Bingzhou, Hedong and other places, and was later defeated by my Great Wei Taizu and surrendered to the Great Wei."

"Wei Taizu divided the Xiongnu into five parts, respectively placed in several states north of the Great Wei, Liu Bao this part was placed in Liangzhou, after the death of Fuluo, the new Xiongnu Han Hu Chuquan was invited by Emperor Wen to enter Yecheng, as a guest, I did not expect that Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King of Jincheng, Liangzhou, actually rebelled."

Jiang Wei heard Chen Tai say this, so he guessed a rough idea, and estimated that it should be Liu Bao who heard that Cao Wei had suffered a defeat in Longxi, and Chen Tai, the Taishou of Jincheng, was also captured, and the defense of Jincheng was empty, so he started to rise again, and wanted to take the opportunity to seize Jincheng!

Jiang Wei suddenly smiled in his heart: "It seems that this Liu Bao is also a very courageous person, but it's a pity that he has exhausted all his skills, but he must not have expected that General Ben will lead the army to arrive today!" ”
