Chapter 258 Han Sui's plan for several counties in Liangzhou
With Yan Xing by his side, no one dares to make a mistake! Because Yan Xing's sword has been stained with the blood of countless Qiang people.
"Without a stable rear, how can we go further?"
No one answered Han Sui. His men were all reckless men who only knew how to fight. Without any wise men, Han Sui could only talk to himself.
"Master, we are all rough people and don't understand these things. If Master tells us to hit, we will hit whomever!"
These idiots from the frontier are really incapable of reaching the realm of elegance!
Han Sui looked down on them very much in his heart, but he still greeted them with a smile. After all, they still had to rely on them to conquer the city!
"Everyone, we now occupy the three counties of Anding, Jincheng and Tianshui. Why didn't the imperial court send troops to conquer, but only stationed troops in Meiyang and Chencang, and watched us occupy the prefectures and counties? It's because they are currently incapable of conquering!"
"Then what are we going to do now? Are we going to fight against the imperial court like the two idiots Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu? Of course not! We have to seize this opportunity and further expand our territory!"
Han Sui turned sideways and pointed at the map behind him.
"Generals, please see, we now occupy this, this, and this. But this place does not belong to us."
Han Sui put his hand on the position of Longxi County, and then even these Qiang people understood Han Sui's intention.
Jincheng County, Anding County, and Tianshui County just form a triangle, but there is another county in the middle of this triangle, which is Longxi County!
If Longxi County is taken alone, it will not be conspicuous in Liangzhou, but when viewed among the three counties of Han and Sui, it will become particularly important! Once there is a problem in Longxi County, the connection between Anding, Jincheng, and Tianshui can be instantly cut off.
!
"Generals, if Longxi County does not belong to us, it will be like a stick in the throat! Now that the kingdom is united with us, it will naturally feel nothing. Once it turns against us, it will be equivalent to a sharp knife piercing our chests directly."
All the generals also understood Han Sui's intention, which was to attack Longxi County from three sides and completely wipe out the kingdom.
At this time, Yan Xing stood up and raised his concerns
"Lord, once we attack the kingdom for no reason, the other Liangzhou forces will definitely be in danger! If they unite to deal with us, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with it easily!"
As soon as Yan Xing said this, all the Qiang generals were very reasonable and began to sway. Some supported Han Sui's attack on Longxi, while others did not agree with the invasion of Longxi.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Han Sui stretched out his hand to stop the generals from making noise.
"I have already thought about this issue. Naturally, we cannot be enemies with all the Liangzhou warlords! Our neighbor is Ma Teng from Wuwei County. We can join forces with him and persuade Ma Teng to take over Xiping County and Zhangye County, or even
Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and Xihai County in the back. We can allocate these counties to Ma Teng!"
"Lord, if this is the case, Ma Teng will occupy six counties and surpass us in strength. It is inevitable that he will have some thoughts about our territory!"
The Qiang people are like this. They are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. They want to gain benefits but don't want to take risks. Why does Han Sui look down on the Qiang people and just use them as thugs? It's because of their character! In the end, they can't achieve great things!
"Don't worry, even if those six counties are occupied by Ma Teng, nothing will happen. The main resources of Liangzhou are in our four counties!"
Of course, Han Sui was not so kind to let Ma Tengbai take advantage of him. The six counties in the west were located deeper and were easier to capture, but if he wanted to keep them to himself, he would need to garrison a large number of troops. However, these six counties were sparsely populated and surrounded by Qiang and Hu.
Surrounding actually means little at all!
Yan Xing on the side nodded, presumably Han Sui's remarks had convinced him.
"Lord, what about Wudu County? As far as I know, Wudu County has a population of no less than tens of thousands, and it is one of the few important towns in Liangzhou! We can attack Wudu County directly after attacking Longxi County!
"
Yan Xing glanced at the map behind him, walked over and pointed in the direction of Wudu County.
Unexpectedly, Han Sui's reaction was so great that he directly rejected Yan Xing's proposal.
"No! Wudu County, don't move for now!"
"Why? The guards of Wudu County have all run away, and now only some county soldiers are maintaining it!"
Yan Xing was very puzzled. In his opinion, Wudu County was like a stunning beauty. He could possess it if he went there. Why not?
"Because of him!"
Han Sui also stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of Wudu County.
"Hanzhong?"
"Yes, Hanzhong County is no longer what it used to be. The current governor of Hanzhong County is General Liu Zhang!"
As soon as the word "Liu Zhang" came out, the Qiang generals became obviously nervous, and some even had fear in their eyes!
Yan Xing had been following Han Sui, but he had never fought against Liu Zhang, and he did not feel Liu Zhang's fear, so he immediately had questions.
"My lord, is Liu Zhang so terrible? As far as I know, he currently has less than ten thousand soldiers!"
"That won't work! This Liu Zhang is treacherous and capricious in his military use. Even if he only has a thousand soldiers, he must not be underestimated! Have you forgotten that he only used a thousand soldiers and horses to break the wave with more than 100,000 people? He even cut down the wave himself.
Cai’s head? The most frightening thing is that it was the first time he used troops!"
Han Sui never underestimated any enemy, especially a particularly troublesome person like Liu Zhang. He felt that it was better to avoid him if he could.
Of course, this does not mean that Han Sui is afraid of Liu Zhang and never wants to be his enemy. It is just that at this stage, the priority is to stabilize Liangzhou, and there is no need to fight Liu Zhang to the death!
However, Yan Xing obviously did not understand what Han Sui meant, and directly expressed his determination to fight Liu Zhang to Han Sui.
"My lord, you don't have to be like this. Liu Zhang is a human being and so am I. I, Yan Xing, am not afraid of him!"
Nowadays, Yan Xing is young and energetic, and naturally he is dissatisfied with everyone, so he will inevitably have the urge to compete with Liu Zhang.
Han Sui sneered in his heart, feeling that Yan Xing was really overestimating his capabilities! Han Sui had personally seen the bravery of Liu Zhang's generals, and even Han Sui felt that Yan Xing might not be able to defeat that young general with a white horse and a silver spear!
"Yanming's courage is commendable, but now is not the time! But sooner or later, we will have a decisive battle with Liu Zhang! We cannot let him stop us from moving forward!"
After receiving Han Sui's affirmation, Yan Xing said nothing more, but his eyes always showed absolute confidence!
"Okay, let's act on both sides at the same time! On the one hand, we send people to unite with Ma Teng, and on the other hand, we start dealing with the kingdom! The kingdom must deal with him at once, and we must not give him a chance to counterattack!"
Han Sui had already made a plan in his heart. They must not start a tug-of-war with Longxi County, and they must decide the winner as soon as possible. Once they are dragged into the quagmire of war, it will be very difficult to get out!
"Lord, what should we do?"
Han Sui showed a cold smile, these conspiracies and tricks are what he is best at!
"Haha, aren't Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu just an example? Go back and reorganize your troops as soon as possible. After the incident is completed, directly attack the counties in Longxi from three sides! Try to make them surrender and reduce our casualties!"
The generals accepted the order and went down to prepare. Only Yan Xing was left by Han Sui's side.
"Yan Ming, please go to Ji County and tell the kingdom that Ma Teng and I are going to elect him as the leader of the alliance and attack Guanzhong together. Let him come to Jincheng as soon as possible to discuss the matter of entering the army!"
