Chapter 436: Advance and Retreat
Before Fu Jian's army invaded Liangzhou, Liangzhou itself was in chaos.
After Zhang Zuo abolished his mourning prince Zhang Yaoling and became self-reliant, he was deeply jealous of Zhang Yaoling, the assassin of Hezhou, and wanted to recall Gu Zang to harm him.
Zhang Qian directly raised troops and got the support of the people of Liangzhou, and the auxiliary general Song Chao and his brother Song Chengli should join forces, kill Zhang Zuo, and set up Zhang Xuanliang, the young son of Zhang Chonghua, as the king.
But Liangzhou was not at peace because of this, and the power in the country fell into the hands of Zhang Qiang.
Fu Jian sent an envoy to order Liangzhou to be a minister, and recognized Qin as the suzerain, but the two countries of swords and soldiers, Zhang Qian was rigid and self-serving, of course, he would not agree, thinking that the soldiers were strong and strong, and there was a strong city to defend, so he sought to seize the intention of Guanzhong.
Gather 60,000 elite soldiers in the country to Guzang.
Fu Jian sent Deng Qiang as the front governor, took the Yellow River to freeze, and led 8,000 sharp soldiers to cross the river.
Zhang Qian sent the general Song mixed to lead 20,000 troops to besiege Deng Qiang, the two armies were in a melee, Fu Fei, Yao Chang, and Yang Anhu led 3,000 elite cavalry to rush to the aid, and entered the rear of the Liang army.
Another general, Yang Anyong, was not under Fu Fei, and he was killed three times under the Song Mingya Banner, and the Liang army was greatly shocked.
With two 10,000 enemies and two fierce generals, Song Chao was defeated and led the remnants to retreat to Guzang.
The Qin army stepped across the west of the river, as if entering a no-man's land.
Fu Jian spread the word to all the counties of Liangzhou, so that the soldiers and the people settled in their homes, and the army passed, not only did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but instead sheltered the displaced people and distributed food and clothing.
Liangzhou was deeply affected by Zhang Zuo, and in the face of Fu Jian's benevolent and gentle methods, he had no power to resist.
The Xianbei and Qiangdi of Hexi were the first to be attached.
The Qin army was greatly invigorated, and Guzang City was isolated, Zhang Zuo and Zhang Qian were unpopular, and the new monarch Zhang Xuanliang was six years old, and he had no prestige, and the wealthy families of the prefecture and county waited to see what happened.
Zhang Qian was terrified and sent an envoy to Xiang Fu to insist on being a minister.
But the Qin army has besieged the city, and the situation is very good, how can they retreat?
The powerful monks of the Liangzhou Shi clan admired the name of Fu Jian and came to pay a visit.
However, Fu Jian's mind is not on Liangzhou, this attack on Liangzhou is much easier than imagined, after Zhang Chonghua's death, the famous general Xie Ai was killed for no reason, and he cut off his arm, and the hearts of the people in the country were scattered, Zhang Qian was stronger than Zhang Zuo, but he was jealous and cruel, the discipline was not established, and the people's hearts were not attached.
"What about Liang Yan's decisive battle?" Fu Jian's mind is naturally in the east.
Zhu Tong said: "In the first battle of the Bai people, the Liang army took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Yan army and the unestablished camp to launch a fierce attack and repel Murong Ke. β
"In this way, Murong Ke is invincible?"
"Not necessarily, Murong Ke is tenacious, and this battle will not be easy to tell the winner." Quan Yi arched his hand.
"Zhang's family has been running Guzang for decades, and the city is high and the grain is sufficient, does Mr. have a strategy to break the city?" Fu Jian has great respect for talented people.
Xue Zan said: "Zhang Qian is unpopular, now the army is besieged, the people in the city are panicking, and within two months, there will be civil strife!" β
"Two months ......," Fu Jian groaned.
The situation in the world is changing rapidly, and a lot will happen in two months.
Fu Jianti elite westward, the country was empty, and Sima Xun sharpened his sword in Hanzhong.
Since Fu Fa was forced to kill by Empress Dowager Gou, although the other clans have been silent, there is a force quietly growing in secret, and if you leave Chang'an for too long, it is inevitable that some unexpected things will happen.
"The minister has a plan, but he can kill three birds with one stone." Quan Yi's eyes flashed.
Fu Jian was waiting for his words, "Sir, come quickly." β
"The army besieged the city, the Liang people were afraid of the prestige of our army, so they listened to the order of Zhang Qiang, it is better to go south now, just eat in Longyou, one comes, the provocation of Guan Gu Zang, the second comes, it can shock Sima Xun in Hanzhong, and the third comes, you can send an elite attack to take the revenge pool!"
Qiu Chi is built by the white horse in the Wudu area, in the sixth year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty (296 AD), the Qi people of Qi Wannian were dissatisfied with the heavy tax of Sima's knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, and the pole was raised, and the beacon fire spread throughout Qin, Yong and other states, and all the ethnic groups gathered to respond.
Yang Maosui, the adopted son of Yang Feilong, took the opportunity to lead 4,000 troops to return to Qiuchi, captured Wudu and Yinping counties, and established Qiuchi State.
But the kingdom established by Yidi is more fratricidal than Middle-earth.
Qiu Chi had just had a civil strife, and the lord Yang Guo was killed by his brother Yang Jun, and his son Yang An led his troops to flee Chang'an and put himself under Fu Jian.
Fu Jian treated him very well and was named a former general.
Yang An also swore allegiance to Fu Jian.
"Wonderful!" Fu Jian stroked his palms and smiled, and ordered the right guard general Fu Ya to lead Yang An and Yao Chang to each lead their headquarters to attack Qiu Chi.
Kashiwa.
After Murong Ke retreated, he couldn't hold out.
Zhang Hao and Xu Chengzhu challenged several times, but Murong Ke could not hold out, and he did not fight with him.
A slap didn't make a sound, Murong Ke adopted a turtle shrinking tactic, and the Black Cloud Army couldn't do anything about him for the time being.
However, for Li Yue, as long as he dragged Murong Ke's main force, it would not be too much of a loss.
On the eastern front, Jia Jian, Lu Bozao, and Cui Jin led an army of 40,000 to the north and feinted to attack Shuzhou. On the western front, Wang Meng's 50,000 new troops had entered Hedong and joined up with LΓΌ Guang's troops, increasing the number of troops to 60,000.
This battle is actually a battle of national strength, and Li Yue's three-way army together has more than 200,000.
The two armies confronted each other, and Li Yue also paid close attention to the news of Jiangdong Huanwen and Guanzhong Fu Jian.
These are the only forces that can influence this war.
Huan Wen monopolized the power, implemented Gengxu Tu Break, vigorously and resolutely, Sima Xuan, the king of Pengcheng, hid five households of homeless people, and was questioned by the lower court lieutenant, and the other scholars all clamped their tails, for fear of touching Huan Wen's moldy head.
Jiangdong swept away the decline since the defeat of Yin Hao, Huan Wen visited the hermits, opened up the talents of the poor family, Che Yin, Xi Chisel Teeth, Meng Xu, Chen Xiu and others were recruited to engage.
He treated Jiangzuo's wealthy family well, and visited celebrities such as Xie An and Wang Tanzhi several times.
Jin is harmonious inside and outside, and people's hearts are settled.
During this period, he also sent troops to exterminate the barbarian thief Wenlu and the demon thief Li Hong, who had been in trouble for many years, and passed on the first Jiankang, and Huan Wen's power became increasingly stable, which won the hearts of Jiangzuo people.
And Fu Jian's attack on Liangzhou was also very smooth, after the famous general Xie Ai was killed, Liangzhou's military strength dropped sharply, coupled with Fu Jian's gentle means, the Qin army was almost overwhelmed.
War is a continuation of politics, internal instability, external enemies come.
Fu Jian undoubtedly chose the best time to expand.
In the land of Kansai, no one can compete with it.
Sima Xun, the only one who can threaten Di Qin, has been killing in Hanzhong in the past two years, and the cruelty and tyranny are not under the Hu people.
Not only did he not dare to enter the Tuguan, according to the detailed report, but he had the intention of seeking Shuzhong, and he was strong in Hanzhong, but he did not dare to move for the time being because he was afraid of the power of the veteran Zhou Fu.
"Fu Jian has retired?" Receiving the news from Guanzhong Kuaima, Li Yue was suddenly a little surprised.
If you don't capture Liangzhou now, you won't have a chance after the decisive battle in the eastern part of the country.
"Zhang Qian sticks to Guzang, the city is high and the grain is sufficient, and Fu Jian eats Longyou." Zhang Shengye said.
"Longyou?" Li Yue stared at the map and laughed, "Fu Jian, this is retreating as advance, and it was Cao Cao's plan to destroy the Yuan brothers back then!" After Zhang Chonghua's death, Liangzhou was in civil strife one after another, and now that Fu Jian led his troops to retreat, Liangzhou will inevitably be chaotic again. β
