Chapter 265 The Lord's Intention(1/2)
The words fell slowly.
The governor Zhang Ji nodded slightly to show his support.
He felt that Yang Fu's vision was indeed very good.
There is no problem with the analysis.
Judging from the current war situation, Longxi County is indeed more likely to become a breakthrough.
After all, except for the outpost Lintao, which is the only important border town on the southern border, there will be no dangers and obstacles, and the surrounding terrain will be flat.
On the other hand, looking at the Chencang Road outside Chencang, the terrain of Sanguan is relatively narrow and steep, and it is not so easy to use troops.
Even if the enemy attacks, as long as we are prepared.
There will be no breakthrough.
"What Yishan said makes sense!"
"In terms of defense, even though it seems that the enemy is moving frequently and seems to have the intention of invading, we only need to prepare for the war in advance with General Chencang and be prepared to be attacked by troops."
“Everything is safe!”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jisui responded with a calm expression.
"Well, what you said is true!"
"Unless Liu Bei's army suddenly invades with his main force, the terrain in Sanguan will be as solid as a rock."
"However, even though Liu Bei was victorious in the Battle of Hanzhong, the amount of military resources he spent was not a small amount."
"What's more, Yizhou has been closed since ancient times, and the roads in and out are too difficult. It is not easy to get out of the Qinling Mountains."
"Therefore, when the enemy really intends to invade, we can detect the truth first."
In one word.
Yang Fu then echoed.
"Longxi County is connected to the four counties of Hexi to the west, and is the key area connecting the Hexi Corridor to Longyou. The landforms in the county are basically unobstructed, and there is no danger to defend!"
"There are also many ethnic groups such as Xiqiang in the surrounding area."
"It was said that Fei Yao wanted to take advantage of his unstable footing last year to launch a surprise attack, so Zhao Tong, the chief general of the Qiang Dao garrison, summoned reinforcements from the Shenlang Qiang."
"This time, this person has brought all the troops to invade the border. What strategy does Yishan think our army should use to defend against the enemy?"
Yi Xixi's voice fell slightly.
There was also a strong sense of asking for advice in his words.
Regarding matters related to military strategy, Zhang Ji always made it his habit to seek his advice.
Hearing this, Yang Fu did not show off, as if he had already made up his mind. His face remained calm, and he said slowly: "What you are worried about will also be the problem that our army will face next."
"I heard that Zhao Tong single-handedly challenged the warriors of the entire tribe at the Shenlang Qiang camp last year, and also tamed the White Wolf King, a wolf totem that was famous for its ferocity and that no one in the tribe could tame."
"Therefore the Qiang people were ordered to send troops to help."
"This time when this son goes north to the border area, he will most likely focus on getting to know the surrounding Qiang tribes, so as to make profit and drive them to unite to invade our borders."
One sentence after another came out, and some sharp analysis came out.
Then he pondered for a while, and then said: "It seems from Fu that our army cannot just focus on defense this time."
"While sending people to defend, we also need to send people to visit the tribes to stabilize people's hearts."
"Prevent these tribes from being seduced by the enemy."
"On the other hand, if there are those who ignore our overtures of goodwill or have an arrogant attitude, we should also send troops to destroy them with thunderous force."
"It also helps them know that my great power is not in vain!"
"This is to deter the Qiang tribes from easily making friends with the enemy."
An extremely solemn word was spoken.
Yang Fu's expression suddenly became serious.
Ever since Xia Houyuan used force to pacify Liangzhou and swept away the rebel forces in the territory with thunderous force.
It also made him realize that he must not be merciful to the various Qiang and Di tribes in the county who were stubborn and determined to be hostile to the imperial court, and should use thunderous means to attack them.
It was only after careful consideration that this strategy was proposed.
Choose by supply.
That's it.
Zhang Ji did not agree readily for a moment, but his expression fell into deep thought.
"Is this strategy feasible?"
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had some worrying thoughts in his mind, and asked softly: "Would it be counterproductive to act like this?"
"If this forces all the Qiang tribes to rebel and make them all fall to the Shu army, I'm afraid the situation will be unfavorable to me!"
While thinking secretly, he slowly expressed his worries.
After he finished speaking, Yang Fu looked at his steady demeanor and smiled slightly, obviously knowing that his temperament was always cautious, and it was normal to have these considerations.
After all, Zhang Ji was also the governor-general in charge of all affairs of the western state.
What needs to be considered is not just the war aspect of resisting enemy offensives.
There are other overall considerations such as the political situation and the development of the war situation.
It’s also appropriate to be on the safe side!
Thinking about this in his mind, he responded with the same smile as before: "You don't have to worry so much. As for the Qiang and Hu tribes, their clan power is not that strong."
"If our army does not take any countermeasures and only strengthens the border defense of Longxi County, there is a high probability that the tribes will be seduced by the Shu army and join forces with them to rebel and harass the border areas."
"But if our army strikes first, it will attack some forces that are not weak but stubborn!"
"It will definitely attract some tribes to throw taboos, and they will not dare to respond easily and rebel."
The more he said this to the end, the smile on Yang Fu's face became thicker.
Obviously, as a native of Liangzhou, he is quite familiar with the Qiang people's habit of bullying the weak, fearing the strong, and fearing the strong.
After all these words were spoken.
After Zhang Ji thought about it for a while, he couldn't help but nod his head.
How could he not have thought of this?
It's just that as an authority figure, this is not what he is concerned about. Naturally, his view is not as profound as that of Yang Fu!
Now after a few words of advice from him.
Naturally, everything suddenly became apparent.
"What Yishan said is absolutely true!"
"Then it seems that I will send someone to Didao urgently, giving Fei Yao full authority to deal with it and act according to the situation!"
Having said that, Zhang Ji said with an extremely decisive expression: "Not only that, in order to prevent the war situation from getting out of control, it is difficult to save the situation with the current scale of military strength alone."
"We need to increase the number of sergeants!"
My mind also seemed to be spinning rapidly.
In a moment.
As the governor of Liangzhou, he also had a perfect plan.
On the one hand, it authorized Fei Yao and Dai Ling to act according to the current situation and deal with the war situation and relations with various Qiang tribes without having to report everything.
On the other hand, they also began to issue notices on their own initiative in the prefectures and counties to recruit soldiers and civilians to join the army.
And quickly dispatch sentries and cavalry to return to Chang'an.
Du Ji, the newly transferred captain of Sili School and governor of all important military and political affairs, informed Liangzhou of the upcoming changes.
And after the general mobilization incident occurred in Wudu County.
Everyone in Liangzhou got the military information.
He also became busy immediately.
All the officials, big and small, in the governor's office were busy with their work.
In particular, the officials who traveled to various counties were not only responsible for posting notices, but also had the task of motivating the people in the counties to actively join the army.
In the following days.
Recruitment notices can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of various counties.
and the encouragement from all the officials.
But...
Although Liangzhou was newly attached to the imperial court not long ago, Zhang Ji had been in charge of Liangzhou for some time and he was still a local scholar.
To be continued...
