"What do you mean, I will withdraw my troops in disgrace?" Murong Cheng roared angrily, "In this way, I will become the laughing stock of the people of the world, and the target of Zhao Xun and Situ Lei's jokes!
His Tang army, Xuzhou army, and Yanzhou army are all damn villains... I should have cleared these three mobs."
"These three princes are villains. They all came to the interests of Yongzhou. However, their subordinates also agreed with Lord Zhang's meaning. Prince! The soldiers have been fighting hard for half a year and are a little tired of fighting. In addition, logistics issues are also related to the situation.
Regarding the weather issue, my subordinates believe that we should fight again next year. This is not the case that King Zhao is unwilling to go out of the army. After all, the weather in the north is colder and there is a possibility of heavy snow at any time. They are unwilling to fight in the snow, which is also
It's reasonable." Zhong Yan said quickly when he saw Murong Cheng showing signs of getting angry.
"Yes, Lord, winter is coming, heavy snow is coming, we will rest and fight again next year." The rest of the people also advised.
How could Murong Cheng know that it is not the time to continue attacking? Not to mention anything else, among the Allied Forces outside Hulao Pass, the three princes had long been dissatisfied. They fought hard for half a year, and they had no benefit at all, and they had long wanted to withdraw their troops.
If you keep this down, I am afraid that if you fail to conquer Hulao Pass, there will be problems inside. In addition, I have used troops in Jiaozhou, western Jingzhou and Yongzhou at the same time, which has already put the pressure on my subordinates to the limit.
If he doesn't relax, he is afraid that the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops will be cut off. But he can't stand his gains, while Zhao Xun from the north won consecutive victories.
Zhong Yan understood what Murong Cheng thought and said, "Prince, the reason why Zhao Xun took Bingzhou but Situ Lei was indifferent is because our offensive in Yongzhou was too fierce, which made Situ Lei feel the danger we brought was great.
Yu Zhaoxun therefore gave up Bingzhou and defended Yongzhou. If we suspended the attack, wouldn’t it be a chance to counterattack Zhaoxun? As long as Situ Lei counterattacked Zhaoxun, I’m afraid that even if Zhaoxun doesn’t want to continue participating in the war, it would not work.
”
"We have gained nothing in this war. In the north of Yangzhou, we are Xuzhou. In the past six months of the Xuzhou army in Hulao Pass, many soldiers have been lost. In addition, the food and supplies consumed, I am afraid that Xuzhou will be afraid of
Li Chi couldn't bear it either. Next year we could completely pretend to attack Yongzhou, but in fact we would attack Xuzhou and completely take over this Xuzhou that had been fighting for many years."
"Well? In this way, it's not impossible..." Murong Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the army will withdraw from Yuzhou and northern Jingzhou, and wait for another battle next year."
Zhang Tu, Zhong Yan and others breathed a sigh of relief and said together: "The prince is wise!"
…………
Liangzhou, Wuwei, Grand Governor's Office.
"Yishan tribe surrendered to us and asked for help. What do you think? Should we take action? This governor's intention is to lead his troops eastward to the central part of the Northern Frontier and inform the Zhao army that these areas are the jurisdiction of this governor, so that they can let them
Withdrawal of troops. What do you think?" Liangzhou Grand Governor Situ Fei asked the Sima Army staff around him with excitement.
Zuo Sima Wang He Wen frowned and said, "No, if it was Zhao's army and Bingzhou, no, if it was surrendering before the war with Qiang and Hu, we would accept it. Now...hum... it is clear that they were afraid of being beaten by Zhao's army.
If you want to pull us into the water, the Grand Governor must not get involved."
Situ Fei's face darkened. The Yishan tribe and its alliance tribe had hundreds of thousands of people, even soldiers, and 200,000 to 300,000. Although the discipline was insufficient and the weapons and armor were extremely poor, this was also an army of hundreds of thousands, right?
For Situ Fei, who is now short of soldiers, the surrender of Qiang and Hu can just strengthen his strength. Situ Fei was very reluctant to say that Zuo Sima. How could he be willing to see that the meat in his mouth could not be eaten?
Changshi Tian Yu said: "The subordinates thought that we could accept the surrender of tribes such as Yishan, but we did not send troops to interfere with the wars in the Qiang and Hu areas. Zuo Sima said it was reasonable, and the tribes such as Yishan were so fierce by the Zhao army now.
The offensive was frightened, afraid of losing the power in his hands, and wanted to fight with the Zhao army, but felt that they were not strong enough. Therefore, they wanted us to participate in the fight with the Zhao army, so they could protect themselves."
"Since we have understood the situation, we naturally cannot plunge into the other party's will. However, the population, soldiers and livestock of tribes such as Yishan are all urgently needed. Therefore, we can accept their surrender.
But you must not lead the army to join the war.”
"Grandmaster Zhao Xun used the excuse of Bingzhou Army participating in its attack on the rebel Cao Gang swept Bingzhou and let the Bingzhou land change its ownership. We must not fall into his plan again. Now that Zhao's army is siegeing three routes, why not attack the North with a rapid offensive
The Qiang and Hu tribes in the middle of the border? One of them is naturally because the cold winter is coming. The second is that our Liangzhou army has been allowed to participate in the war. The Zhao army is like Bingzhou, and uses this as an excuse to interfere in our Liangzhou affairs. The Qiang and Hu tribes
The troops are foreign enemies, and Zhao Xun attacks, but they occupy the righteousness, which is higher than the great justice of the dispute over imperial power. If something really happens, I am afraid that no one in the world will support us. Even if we scold the Zhao army for entering the country, we have no words."
He Zhaowu, the military officer, hesitated and said, "The Zhao army should not attack our Liangzhou anymore, right? According to the meaning from Luoyang, we have reached an armistice agreement with the Zhao army. The Zhao army has just taken Bingzhou shortly after, and will not...
”
Everyone did not speak, He Zhaowu's meaning was very clear. Situ Lei and Zhao Xun reached an agreement, but lost Bingzhou and did not fight back. But if Zhao's army had the idea of attacking Liangzhou again, Situ Lei would never sit idly by and let him go
Liangzhou was also thrown to the Zhao army. By then, Bingzhou, which fell into the hands of the Zhao army, would have smoked everywhere, and this must not be what Zhao Xun wanted. They all knew that Zhao Xun did not want to fight the Yong army,
The one who reported the Yong army and the Qi army had a great battle, and they took advantage of it later. However, Situ Lei could only let Zhao Xun take advantage of it. Who made Murong Cheng the number one enemy? Of course, they all knew all these meanings, but they couldn't say it directly
come out.
Changshi Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Mr. He is right, but this is only a normal possibility. But, think about it, do you think Zhao Xun is a person who complies with the agreement? He only treats us Liangzhou a little bit.
No idea? No, Zhao Xun must have ideas about our Liangzhou. If it were normal, Zhao Xun would not attack us again. But what if we take the initiative to provoke him? He can say that he is passive on the pretext
Counterattack.”
"Grandmaster, the Yishan and other tribes will harm Liangzhou and the Huyi of Bingzhou. Zhao Xun now occupy Bingzhou and attack the Qiang and Hu tribes, which has already gained the upper hand in morality. If we lead the army because of the surrender of Yishan and other tribes, we will lead the army because of the surrender of Yishan and other tribes.
If we fight against the Zhao army, we will only be benefited by the Zhao army. Even if the tribes such as Yishan surrender, we cannot lead our troops to join the war."
The reason why Situ Fei dared to lead his army eastward was to look at the basis of peace talks between the Yong and Zhao armies. Otherwise, with the current combat power of Liangzhou, even the Zhao army in the Northern Pass, he would not be able to deal with it. But now
It seems that things are much more difficult than what you want. However, Situ Fei was not willing to give up the more than 100,000 Qiang and Hu warriors. Although these tribes use 200,000 to 300,000 to fight, Situ Fei believed that
If he is summoned, it will be enough to pull out more than 100,000 elite troops. For him now, this is the basis for him to surpass the other brothers and ascend to the position of King Yong. With these more than 100,000 soldiers and forty or fifty people, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and forty or fifty people.
He even believed that he could rule Liangzhou and establish himself in order to abolish the original civil and military officials of Liangzhou. Those civil and military officials were loyal to his father rather than him. This was not what he wanted.
"According to what you said, this governor can only watch these hundreds of thousands of tribes willing to surrender to this governor were swallowed by the Zhao army one by one? Do you think our Zhao army commander said that these tribes surrender to this governor were people from Liangzhou
, the Zhao army stopped attacking?" Situ Fei said depressedly.
Changshi Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not. What my subordinates mean is that the Yishan tribes are not really surrendering. I'm afraid that they want to use our fight with the Zhao army to make a real difference. Besides, this Qianghu number
One hundred thousand people, but there are tens of thousands of warriors, and their strength is no worse than ours. If it weren't for the large number of people, they defended the city, and the imperial army could support He Qiang and Hu at any time
The lack of tribal weapons and armor equipment. I’m afraid we…”
Although Tian Yu didn't finish his words, everyone knew that the existing Qiang and Hu tribe in the central region was no worse than that in Liangzhou. It was unlikely that they would truly surrender. If they had to defeat Liangzhou's weapons and weapons again, they would have to defeat Liangzhou.
I am afraid that Situ Fei will not be able to control it, and he will even be used instead.
Right Sima Weiping sighed and said, "Is it possible that even though that is the case, the Qiang and Hu tribes are also a considerable force. If it is used by us, how can this Liangzhou... have room for Xu Ye and others to speak in Pingliang Hou.
Even if the Zhao army attacked, our confidence would have increased greatly. Are we just watching them annexed by the Zhao army? Although the Qiang and Hu army alliances in the central part have a lot of troops, they are definitely not in the face of the Zhao army with great military achievements.
The opponents. What's more, they can't really join forces. In a short time, the northern pass area located in the eastern part of Liangzhou will all fall into the hands of the Zhao army. For us, this is not a good thing."
Changshi Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "Of course we will not sit and see the Qiang and Hu tribes being swallowed by the Zhao army. Even the Yishan tribes are unwilling to be annexed by themselves. We accept them, but ask them to evacuate the original areas.
Entering our Liangzhou, we must act according to the arrangements of our Liangzhou. In other words, we will take the tribes that enter Liangzhou and obey the military orders. Otherwise, let them fight with the Zhao army to the death. For us,
For the Grand Governor, what we need now is that we can get the best benefits. Even if we don’t, we cannot find an excuse for Zhao Xun to attack Liangzhou. Otherwise, the most unfavorable thing will be that the Grand Governor will be. We cannot do anything about the Fourth Prince.
Turn a blind eye.”
The four princes mentioned by Tian Yu was Situ Tai, the Grand Governor of Bingzhou. Although Situ Tai returned to Chang'an and was in charge of the Wuguan war, he was not the Grand Governor in charge of the military formation in one place, but was a general alone.
The head coach, even in name, was also a subordinate of the Great Governor of Yongzhou. The most important reason was that Situ Tai lost the southern part of Bingzhou. Situ Tai did right, but he attacked Bingzhou by Zhao Xun.
The excuse of the southern part, more importantly, was defeated. Situ Tai needed to be responsible for the Battle of Bingzhou.
Situ Fei gritted his teeth, and a trace of worry and joy flashed in his heart. Situ Tai's loss of power surprised and happy. He thought about what was happening in front of him and made up his mind and said, "Let's do this, send a message to Yishan tribe, we accept theirs."
Submitted, but could not continue to stay in the northern border area, and needed to move to Liangzhou. The northern border area is now the jurisdiction of the Zhao army. If he does not want to become a prisoner, he will move to our Liangzhou area.
As for participating in the battle in the Northern Frontier, I said that my governor could not help."
…………
The Hetu tribe is a larger tribe three hundred miles east of the Yishan tribe. Among the central tribes that have not been attacked by the Zhao army, the tribe's strength is second only to the Yishan tribe.
The black clouds pressed against the top, and the world was covered with gray. The tribe Qianhu Tuge stood on the newly built fortress wall gate tower fifty miles north of the tribe. He looked at the north. Behind him, five thousand Hetu tribes wearing Huyi's uniforms
The warriors waited solemnly.
“Kala ~”
A dazzling lightning suddenly blew through the sky and illuminated the empty wilderness. Tugo's eyebrows jumped gently. With the light of the lightning, he clearly saw a huge cloud, slowly moving from the wilderness toward him.
It approached, but it was not the dark clouds in the sky, but a cloud of countless cavalrymen with black armor and red helmets.
A drop of cold rain fell from the sky and quietly dripped on Tugo's face. The cold texture kept permeating the heart and lungs from his cheeks. Have you finally arrived here? I want to see how powerful Zhao Jun is. Unfortunately, I will see how powerful Zhao Jun is.
, I, Tugo people, are not good at defense, otherwise, they will be able to defend this place and fight.
"Come, blow the trumpet, go out to fight!"
"Master Qianhu, the leader is in his life. We only need to inform the information, stick to this place, and wait for rescue, and don't go out easily!"
"Bastard, rescue? The cold rain is coming, and it is difficult for the tribe warriors to arrive in time. When the reinforcements arrive, we will have been captured by the Zhao army long ago. Our army is good at cavalry. If we do defend, we will be no match for them at all.
Let's go, hurry!"
“Woo woo…”
The sound of vigor suddenly sounded between the heaven and earth, and the sound of oxen horns was so loud that it was suffocating. All five thousand of the small lands of the Hetu soldier came out and walked against the Zhao army in this cold rainy weather.
"Woo woo woo woo woo..." The Zhao army cavalry also remembered the deafening sound of the horns, and the army slowly approached. The entire Zhao army cavalry turned into a big crab shape, and two large cavalry phalanxes extended from both sides.
As the sky swelled in the distance, the countless sharp spears of the Zhao army cavalry gathered into a forest of death, almost piercing the dark sky.
The north wind is like a knife, cold bones are frozen, flags are flying, murderous aura soars into the sky. The cloud chariot commander Nangong Hao appeared in the central army under the protection of the chief lieutenant of the Eight Banners of the two flags, the main lieutenant of the Eight Banners of the two flags, staring at the dark eyes coldly
The slowly coming cavalry of the Hetu Tribe had his handsome faces covered with Xiao Su's murderous intent.
Although the Zhao army has not fully launched operations against the Qiang and Hu tribes in the central northern border, it has begun to contact various tribes. For the tribes that were determined to resist, Li Chenfeng ordered all tribes to attack the herdsmen of these tribes like wolves.
The soldiers plundered their livestock, but did not fight in full swing. In Li Chenfeng's words, in the words of the Lord, we should be like a pack of wolves, keeping them dead like a pack of wolves.
The Zhao army cavalry continued to dispatch, attack various tribes, constantly harassing, plundering their livestock to replenish their own food and grass, and shocking those hesitant tribes.
"Hetu tribe, be destroyed! Cavalry and shoot!" Nangong Hao roared sharply. The weapons and equipment of the Zhao soldiers were far from comparable to those of these tribe soldiers. With Nangong Hao's order, ten thousand cavalry quickly pulled out of the quiver.
The feathered arrows were placed on the string, and then they used their arms to lift the longbow. Amid the crunching sound of the bow string, the longbows had been pulled into a full moon shape. Each archer had a cold expression.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the void ahead without any emotion. These cavalrymen were all good at archery shooting. Although they were on war horses, they did not affect their shooting at all.
"Shoot the arrow..."
"Swish swish swish swish..."
With a command, the Zhao army cavalry released their right hands at the same time. At the sound of the bowstring, a sharp whistle pierced the sky. Ten thousand wolf-haired feather arrows had already flew over the heads of Tuge's cavalry with cold murderous intent, and then
It fell down fiercely like raindrops, and the black raindrops almost covered the entire sky.
"Damn it!"
Tugo cursed inwardly, raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared fiercely at the "rainy" falling from the sky, with an inexplicable cold stirring in his eyes. The Zhao army's weapons were sharp, no, it should be the entire Central Plains dynasty.
Weapons always have absolute advantages.
In an instant, the howls and the neighing of war horses rushed up to the night. These tribal cavalry had no shield to defend themselves or armor to protect themselves. They could only use their flesh and blood to resist the ravages of arrows. The result can be imagined.
Even if you don’t have a chance to hit the point, you will be dead and alive.
"ah……"
The shrill howl was close at hand, and a personal guard beside Tugo wailed and rolled off his horse, and was then trampled by a war horse. Tugo heard the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the other party's chest with his own ears, which made Tugo angry
Open wide.
"Damn it, if my Hetu tribe also has such weapons, why would we be like this? Zhao Thief, you are too bullying!" Although the Hetu tribe also has bows and arrows, its range cannot reach the other party's distance. In addition, in the past few days,
, The entire Hetu tribe was mostly in battle with the Zhao army, and the arrow cluster had been almost consumed. In other words, there are many people under Tuge's command now, but not many people with arrows. Their counterattack is not good at all.
In the matter.
"The warriors of the Hetu Tribe, rush for me and let these Zhao army thieves know that each of my Hetu Tribe is a coward. Kill!"
The remaining cavalry of the Hetu tribe roared and rushed towards the Zhao army cavalry under the leadership of Tugo, their eyes red.
