"Let's do this, we won't kill women, we won't kill children under twelve years old, we won't kill gray-haired old men, but everyone else will be beheaded!"
To be fair, at this time, Wei Qing was unwilling to take action against the old, weak, sick and disabled, but it was naturally impossible to let go of these people easily. Therefore, Wei Qing finally issued such an order.
As soon as Wei Qing gave this order, someone immediately went out to carry it out. Among Wei Qing's orders, women and those with gray hair were easy to distinguish, but children under the age of twelve were not so easy to distinguish.
However, there is still a simple way, just find a wheel and kill those who are higher than the wheel.
If a child is younger than 12 years old but is taller than a wheel, it can only mean that his own life is bad and he cannot blame others.
"In addition, the order is sent down to cook the sheep and slaughter the cattle. The troops will rest for half a day and break camp and evacuate immediately this afternoon!" Wei Qing said with a hint of seriousness.
"General, brothers are either traveling or fighting these days, so why not just spend another day repairing." At this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said with some laughter.
"No, after the battle last night, those who escaped will definitely entangle other grassland people from the surrounding tribes to deal with us and others. Our army must not waste any more time at this time. We should temporarily avoid the enemy's edge!" Wei Qing!
He spoke with a slightly heavy tone.
In the days that followed, Wei Qing knew that life would not be easy for them. They had created such a big battle here, and the enemy would pursue them desperately.
…
Youzhou.
There are two battlefields here. One is where the main force of the coalition of princes and the main force of the grassland camp confront each other, and the other is where Daijun Leyi and Murong Ke, the two top commanders, confront each other.
Already.
Let’s first talk about the battlefield where the main force of the coalition of princes and the main force of the grassland camp faced off. The gap in strength between the two sides was not large. Although the strength of the grassland had the advantage of cavalry, it could gain the upper hand in field battles, but the coalition of princes relied on the big camp to carry out the battle.
There is nothing the prairie cavalry can do about defense. On this battlefield, the two sides cannot decide the outcome in a short time.
As for Daijun, when Le Yi and Murong Ke fought, they were at a disadvantage due to their inferior military strength. However, as several princes came to support them, the situation began to become balanced again.
At this time, the situation in Liangzhou began to change drastically.
Liangzhou, Wuwei!
Originally, when the Qiang army invaded, Su Lie adopted a passive defense strategy. On the one hand, this was because he did not have enough troops. With 50,000 troops fighting against 120,000 troops, this battle was not easy.
Easy to fight.
On the other hand, the attitude of the princes in Liangzhou is obviously leaning towards the side of the Qiang people. Even if they do not dare to attack Su Lie at this time because they do not dare to secede from the Han princes, for these princes
The precautions that should be taken still need to be arranged.
In this case, there will be even fewer troops that can be used to deal with the Qiang cavalry.
However, just today, Su Dingfang, who had been defending for nearly a month, uncharacteristically chose to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
Fu Jian had long considered Su Lie, Li Xiang's thorn in Liangzhou's side, as a thorn in his flesh. However, with Yang Jian as a formidable enemy, Fu Jian did not dare to easily provoke a powerful enemy.
, and then waited and did not take action.
Coincidentally, after several grassland forces collectively moved south, the Qiang people finally made some movement under the influence of other grassland forces.
The keen Fu Jian realized at the first moment that this was an opportunity to get rid of Su Lie by the Qiang people. Therefore, he decisively gave the Qiang King a big gift to bribe the Qiang King and allow the Qiang King to concentrate his strength.
Come and deal with Su Dingfang.
At the same time, Fu Jian also sent lobbyists to persuade Han Sui and Ma Teng. Under the persuasion of Fu Jian's lobbyists, Han Sui and Ma Teng also wanted to take this opportunity to drive away the tentacles of Li Xiang's power.
Leave Liangzhou.
Therefore, after some deliberation, Han Sui and Ma Teng finally agreed to Fu Jian's proposal and chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. This is why Han Sui and Ma Teng had such ambiguous attitudes this time.
The main reason is not just because of the countless relationships between these two people and the Qiang people.
As for Ma Teng's men, although Ma Yuan and a few others still had doubts about Ma Teng's decision, after all, Ma Teng was their lord, and Ma Teng's attitude was so resolute, they could only choose to remain silent for the time being.
Already.
In fact, in order to ensure that Fu Jian could get rid of Su Dingfang with the greatest chance of success, he even temporarily lent his confidant Lu Polou to King Qiang, letting him hide in secret and provide advice to King Qiang.
Lu Bolou's implanted identity is the same as Fu Jian's. They were both members of the Qiang people before taking refuge with Dong Zhuo. Moreover, Lu Bolou is also well-known as a wise man among the Qiang people.
The status is not low.
Therefore, when Lu Polou followed Fu Jian's order and arrived at the Qiang King's camp, he was treated with courtesy by the Qiang King.
It's just a pity that Su Dingfang unswervingly adhered to the defensive strategy at that time. Su Dingfang himself was a famous general, and his commander had reached the pinnacle level. There was absolutely no one in Liangzhou who could compare with him.
Moreover, Su Dingbian was assisted by two counselors, Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng. Therefore, even though Lu Polou tried several times to lure Su Dingfang into battle, they all failed in the end.
It was also the design failures of Lu Po Tower that made King Qiang question the ability of Lu Po Tower, thinking that the opponent was just a vain name, but in fact, he did not have any real ability.
Although King Qiang was still polite to Lu Loulou on the surface during this period, he actually began to alienate Lu Polou.
But at this time, Su Dingfang uncharacteristically went out of the city to fight. Lu Polou realized at the first moment that things might have changed. Su Dingfang dared to go out of the city. He must be sure of victory. They must be able to survive for the time being.
I don't know what happened.
Therefore, out of caution, Lu Polou wanted to dissuade King Qiang from engaging in battle for the time being, and to observe for a period of time before proceeding, in order to prevent him from falling into the enemy's scheme.
Unfortunately, Lu Po Lou’s dissuasion was really for the benefit of King Qiang. However, the current King Qiang was already very disappointed with Lu Po Lou’s abilities. How could he easily follow Lu Po Lou’s advice and go his own way?
