Speaking of business, Yuan Xi sighed and said, only ruins and ruins remained in Lingzhou City in front of him.

I don't know what these Qianghu think, they know that the city can protect the safety, but after occupying it, they don't want to protect and repair it, and they can't wait to demolish all the cattle and sheep for grazing.

When the opponent attacks his own tribe, there is nowhere to hide from crying and shouting for his mother.

Jia Xu smiled coldly and said: "Those captives let them go to build a city, and the province is idle and troublesome, and it is a waste of food." ”

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and handed him a piece of information and said: "News from the south, Cao Jun won this battle, took Lujiang County, and is now besieging Anqing, if this battle is won again, Jiangdong may be in danger." ”

Cao Cao did not attack from the direction of Jingzhou this time, but attacked Yangzhou instead, so that Liu Bei and Liu Qi could not help, which was equivalent to Jiangdong carrying Cao's army alone.

Of course, there is also the reason why Sun Quan has a small belly and chicken intestines, from Jingzhou to Yangzhou has to pass through Jiangxia County, but Jiangxia County was originally from Jingzhou and was half occupied by Sun Quan.

He was worried that Liu Qi would not leave once he entered Jiangxia County, after all, the local forces there were more inclined to Liu Biao's side.

As for Liu Bei, it was very difficult for him to enter Yangzhou, his defense area was north of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia County, and the border with Yangzhou was narrow, and it was easy to be cut off by Cao Cao from Runan.

If you want to go to Yangzhou, the best route is to take the waterway, but Liu Bei has no water army, and the water army in Jingzhou was divided by Cai Mao and Liu Qi, but Liu Qi can't lend the water army to Liu Bei.

This thing has always been borrowed and not repaid, so Jiangdong can only fight Cao Cao independently, and Liu Bei and Liu Qi are not treacherous, they have attacked Cao's army in the direction of Jingzhou.

But Cao Ren was well defended and didn't go out of the city at all, and Xiangyang City was one of the most difficult cities to fight, so there was no way at all.

Now that Cao Cao's troops are in Anqing City, Sun Quan regretted it too much, and sent Lu Su to Jiangling to find Liu Qi, but he didn't know if he would have time to reinforce him.

"What does the lord think?"

Jia Xu asked after reading the information.

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "We don't have time to pay attention now, although the harvest in Hebei has been good in the past two years, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but after all, there are too many places to spend money, and it will cost a lot of money and grain to meddle again, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Jia Xu bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, Cao Mengde will stop in Jiangbei and will not go further south, there is still a big war in Liangzhou, Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng can't defeat Han Sui yet, and they need reinforcements." ”

"That's right"

Speaking of the northwest, Yuan Xi perked up and said with a smile: "Han Wenyue sent someone to ask us for help, saying that after repelling Cao's army, he will help us take Wuwei County as a reward." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Han Wenyue villain is also a villain, there is no faith at all, it is better to listen to him than to help Cao Mengde defeat him." ”

"Huh! What a great idea. ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Xu just said casually, the lord doesn't really want to help Cao Cao, right?" ”

Yuan Xi was really reminded by his casual remark, and said seriously: "Wen He, think about it, why is Han Wenyue difficult to deal with?" Because he has a good relationship with the Qiang people, as long as he doesn't die, he can use the Qiang people to pull up another team at any time, but Cao Cao won't. ”

Jia Xu pondered slightly, and immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Good idea, lord!" Using Cao Jun and Ma Teng as the main force, let's intervene again, not only to make Cao Cao owe us favors, but also to eliminate the big trouble in the future. ”

Cui Yan shook his head on the side and said, "It's good to have a good way, but first, will Zhong Xuan believe that we really help the war?" Second, the lord just said that if he has no money, it will cost a lot to fight again. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "We are partial divisions in this battle, and the cost will not be too much, second, Zhong Xuan is now afraid that it will be difficult to ride a tiger, and he must defeat Han Sui to relieve the pressure on Cao Cao, we can tell him that he will send troops from the north bank of the Yellow River and never cross the river to the south, I think he would like to." ”

"Troops from the North Shore?"

Cui Yan looked at him puzzled and asked: "There is a detour to go on the north shore, it will be thousands of miles from Wuwei County, and it is deserted, what should I do with the supply of grain and grass." ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Don't go to Wuwei, walk along the Yellow River from the northern end of Anding County, and after entering the southern end of Wuwei, you can gallop and go straight to Jincheng." ”

Cui Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and said: "The lord's intention is to cross the river from Fuping and then walk along the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

"Yes, we naturally can't start from Lingzhou, it's too far."

Beidi County is next to Anding County, and the northern end of the two counties is actually along the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, that is, crossing the Yellow River from Wuzhong County to Zhongwei, and then entering the eastern part of Gansu.

As long as you pass the middle guard, it is a horse Pingchuan to Lanzhou, that is, Jincheng, Lanzhou has not been built in this era, and it is Jincheng across the Yellow River.

Lanzhou is in the south and Jincheng is in the north, and the thousand-mile rush has been completely done, and it is Han Sui's lair, and there is only a siege in front of him.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Since the lord has decided, then the next thing is to talk to Han Sui's envoy, and we can prepare well if we delay time." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and looked at Cui Yan and said, "I also want Ji Jue to go to Zhong Xuana, and I can't let Han Sui find out, I don't know if Ji Jue is willing to go?" ”

Cui Yan said: "Worry about the Lord, Yan is the one who will not let go!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Then Han Sui's envoy will be handed over to a certain person, a certain person is from Xiliang, and he is most familiar with their temperament." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Then it's bothering the two of you, Xi went to talk to Youchang, it's time to prepare tools to cross the river." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and immediately went their separate ways.

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard that there was still a war, he immediately refreshed himself, and he was busy patting his chest and promising that he would act confidentially and lay down the golden city for the lord.

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Remember, just fight the city of Jincheng, not the entire Jincheng County, we can't be dragged into a protracted war, and if we succeed in the blow, we will retreat with the capture, it is best to bring back all the Han people in Jincheng and fill our Beidi County." ”

Zhang Xiu immediately stood up straight and said, "Guarantee to complete the task!" The lord just didn't mention it, and the last general would do the same, the population of Northland County is too small. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes were moist when he said this, Beidi County, as a county governing unit, has a registered population of only 180,000, which is the population of six county seats.

No one can count how many people have died over the years, and these 180,000 also include Qianghu, who has long been attached to and integrated into Han society.

Human life in this troubled world is no different from that of wild dogs, they can be killed and practiced at will, think about Cheng Yu actually killing people as food, you know how cruel this troubled world is.

"Go, remember not to bully the people, let alone abuse the old and weak, women and children, they are just like us, are they human beings, understand?"

Zhang Xiu solemnly beat his chest and said: "The end will be guaranteed!" Let not the name of righteousness be tarnished. ”

Yuan Xi's face softened, but before he could speak again, Zhang Xiu's words changed, his hippie smile rose, and he came over and said, "The lord has accepted the last general's daughter, it's not a matter of staying at home!" ”
