"Lord, the matter has been completed. We have joined forces with Situ Fei from Liangzhou and Situ Hao from Luoyang from Yongzhou. However, Situ Hao has no intention of having a deep friendship with us, and he does not even want our people to appear in the Yongzhou territory."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Situ Hao certainly doesn't want our people to appear in Yongzhou. Unlike Situ Fei, there is no war in Yongzhou. If he wants to seize power, he naturally does not need external help. As long as he is cruel enough and has fast methods, everything is
None of them is a problem. Don't underestimate the remnants of the previous dynasty that made Situ Lei feel a headache. It should be no problem for them to assist Situ Hao in accomplishing things. Now that Bingzhou is in our hands, this brings great pressure to Yongzhou.
It would be strange if we wanted our people to participate."
"What's going on in Liangzhou? In contrast, Situ Fei from Liangzhou needs our assistance more."
Lu Ziliang said: "We have completed the transaction with Situ Fei. As the lord said, Situ Fei really needs our assistance. With Situ Fei's secret help, we have won the eight counties without any bloodshed.
Because of this, Liangzhou Grand Governor Lin Shucheng was forced to re-activate the former Liangzhou Army general. Now, Liangzhou Army has been taken over by Situ Fei again."
Zhao Xun was overjoyed and said, "It's so good. Where is Situ Fei's choice to establish his foothold? Hanzhong or Chang'an? Or is he going to want both?"
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Situ Fei didn't say this, but for our people, he wanted to take down both of them and occupy Chang'an and Hanzhong, and there were dangerous barriers to defend from all directions. If you occupy this place, you can completely refuse.
The enemy is outside the border.”
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "The land of the Three Auxiliary in Chang'an and Hanzhong are both dangerous places. Cultivating one into one is indeed the basis for establishing a career. Since he chose this place, we will help him secretly. They do not establish a career alone,
How can we disintegrate this huge Yong Army group?"
Pei Yi said with a little concern: "Lord, Hanzhong and Chang'an are both dangerous places. Just as you said, it is the foundation for career development. But it is also blocking our road to the south and east.
Will it affect us?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It's okay. If we only have Liangzhou and Yongzhou border, this potential threat is indeed very important. However, in the north of Yongzhou, it is Bingzhou, and in the northeast, it is Jizhou. No matter where we attack, we can kill it.
Entering Yongzhou and Chang'an. Without the land of Chang'an, the threat in Hanzhong would not be very great, especially after Situ Fei confronted King Yong of Yizhou, he was no longer afraid of too much threat."
Situ Liang nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true. Without the support from the rear and without broad room for maneuver, the land of Hanzhong alone is not enough to fight against us. Moreover, we may not necessarily go south from Hanzhong in the future.
The same is true for defeating the Southeast princes first.”
As the year approaches, the chaotic and dilapidated territory of the Great Yan Kingdom gradually calms down. Whether it is the northern overlord Zhao army in the north or the southern princes who are fighting endlessly in the south, they all quietly bent down and licked their wounds in this winter...
The Zhao army in the west took advantage of this opportunity to start to accommodate refugees and migrate with the army. Although the land of Liangzhou was taken away by the Zhao army, the land occupied by the Zhao army was all barren land and the territory was
Inside, Hu and Han lived in a mixed relationship, and Hu people from the Western Regions accounted for a large proportion.
After the Zhao army recovered the western prefectures, it began to attack the powerful tribes on a large scale, and the Hu tribes gathered together in an organization. For this reason, a large number of young and strong Hu tribes died in the war. What remains were
A huge amount of women and children. Under the suggestion of local governments and encouragement of some policies, many Han people living in prefectures and counties in the west took Hu women as their wives and concubines.
Even some town soldiers who had never married married married married and settled their families here. Many of them were heroes on the battlefield. After this time, they would become local county soldiers, government soldiers officers and backbone soldiers, and finally, they all
It will become an important force in stabilizing the prefectures and counties in the west.
In addition to encouraging Hu and Han to intermarry, the Zhao army was also constantly accepting refugees. Liangzhou was attacked by the Zhao army, so naturally many people became refugees. Many people in the Liangzhou army could not bear the heavy taxes.
He began to flee to the western territory and was settled one by one by the Zhao army.
Just as the rest and rest periods were beginning to enter, Zhao Xun and others were busy attacking the countries in the Western Regions. From spies who were acting with merchants, the Zhao army continuously obtained their intelligence. The Zhao army fought against the countries in the Western Regions.
Gradually, we have learned that the countries in the Western Regions wanted to defeat the new neighbors that appeared around them with the Liangzhou army. However, as more and more Zhao troops were in the western part of Liangzhou, they all suppressed them.
The thought in my heart.
For the countries in the Western Regions, it is not unacceptable that the Han people in the eastern region will reappear a powerful dynasty. Such things are already common in the eastern region of the Han people.
As for Zhao Xun, when he saw the location marked on the map of the Western Regions, he remembered the four Anxi towns that appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Xun believed that he could also include the Western Regions countries under his command and let
The flames of Qilin flag floats in the western region.
After understanding, Zhao Xun and others discovered that there were many countries in the Western Regions, with more than dozens of countries of all sizes. It was not easy to conquer the Western Regions.
"Lord, things are more complicated than we imagined. I originally thought that it was just a simple country, and once my army of Great Zhao was arrived, it was invincible. Now it seems that it is not easy." Pei Yi looked at it.
Looking at the densely packed regional names and country names on it, I couldn't help but shake my head and said.
Lu Ziliang also nodded and said, "It is indeed not an easy thing. Once we take action, it will be difficult to completely solve the problem in a short period of time. In addition, we must always take into account the battlefield of the Central Plains. Once any situation occurs in the southern part.
, The center of our army will return to this place. At that time, we will send troops from both sides, which will put a lot of pressure on us."
Not only were they worried, but others were also worried about the army going west to fight against the countries in the Western Regions. When the army went west, the logistics pressure would be great. Once the war broke into a stalemate, then this would be a great burden for the Zhao army.
.If there is any accident in the south at this moment, then Zhao Jun will not be able to take action in time.
Zhao Xun also said in a deep voice: "The Western Regions countries are more trouble than we imagined. We appeared in the western part of Liangzhou and wiped out the two countries. In this way, the Western Regions countries have begun to be wary of us.
Heart. Once we act again, they will inevitably join forces to deal with our offense. Although they will not join forces, it will be difficult for us to deal with the three or four countries connected with our Liangzhou."
Situ Liang said: "Indeed, logistics is the most important factor that restricts us. Liangzhou is already poor, so even if you take over the entire territory of Liangzhou, you cannot provide support for the army to move westward. At least,
There is no way to do it within the year. Therefore, the army needs it and must be transported from the rear."
"The roads in Liangzhou are difficult to move, which is also a key issue. To the west, there is a desert area, and whether the soldiers adapt is also a key issue. When we regained the prefectures and counties in the western part of Liangzhou, we destroyed the two countries in a row.
Although it shocked the countries in the Western Regions, it also made them wary of us."
"Once we start to act, it is very likely that many countries in the Western Regions will join forces to fight the enemy. This is a big trouble. Our Zhao soldiers are strong. In addition to strict training and strict military discipline, they are also weapons and armor.
A very critical factor, which also means that logistics supply and casualties in soldiers have a great impact on us.”
"In addition, as far as I know, countries closer to us, such as Yanqi, Kucha, Shule, and Khotan, all have tens of thousands of troops, or even nearly one hundred thousand. Although their troops seem to us, they are very different.
However, our actions must be carried out in the territory of others. They belong to local warfare, and their advantages in all aspects are obvious."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Gaochang, Yanqi, and Kucha are the key. They are right in front of us to the west. If we do not break through them, we will not be able to continue to move west."
"However, we are not without advantages. Our soldiers are stronger than theirs, and our armor and equipment are stronger than theirs. In addition, if we want to act, they cannot counterattack accordingly."
In Zhao Xun's view, the attacks launched by the countries in the Western Regions must be lightning-rush and the countries cannot react. At least, a breakthrough must be opened.
"In addition, these Western Regions countries are not monolithic. What we say will unite to resist us is a possibility. Besides, not all countries can have the determination to enter our Great Zhao army.
Before the territory, we went out to fight."
"Not to mention the distance, just talk about the two countries of Yanqi and Kucha, which have fought many times because of the boundaries of territory. These are favorable conditions that we can take advantage of."
Hearing Zhao Xun say this, Situ Liang's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "The lord's intention is to get along with far away and attack the enemy?"
"That's right!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice, "Far from a distance and attack near and close! Gaochang and Yanqi are closest to us, and even have boundaries. The Kucha country is far away, and the Turtle Magnitude and us are the Yanqi country.
.It would be a pity if you don’t use it.”
When Lu Ziliang and others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all smiled and said, "Lord's plan is very wonderful! Using the power to fight is the biggest way to make us profit. We were originally fighting alone, but now we are at the same time.
They started fighting each other, and when they fought each other almost, I, Zhao Jun, could drive straight in."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "The countries in the Western Regions have a pile of loose sand, and the threat to us is not that high. Now, what we need to do is to transport the materials needed by the army to Liangzhou after the beginning of spring. In addition,
We must also make Liangzhou's first, the three towns and towns increase their exploration of the Western Regions and other countries, and at the same time, we must adapt to the environment there."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my grand Zhao has been developing steadily in recent years. Even if we start a war, it will be a small-scale war and will soon end the battle. Compared with the southern princes, the losses we have after the war begins,
It can be said to be very small. The only thing that needs to be focused on is the new policy reform of the Xinna Land."
"The Liangzhou land not only needs to relocate the people and settle the materials needed by the people, but also cannot be spent from the local area, but also needs support from the rear. Among them, the amount of materials we need to spend is relatively high. However, the future returns are also obvious.
Even now, many people have fled to the western region and entered our territory to live in the prefectures and counties in Liangzhou," said the Liangzhou army.
Zhao Xun said: "This matter concerning people's livelihood must be strictly controlled. From the situation of the people's escape, we can see that whether the government's achievements will be related to the direction of the world's general trend. I don't want us to be in the west and the western regions in the future.
When war begins among the countries, civil unrest is coming behind us."
"Don't worry, although heavy snow has come in all areas in the north, all kinds of food and materials are being transported to the western part of Liangzhou. Now, although the people in the prefectures and counties in the western part of Liangzhou are relatively poor,
But it is not as good as before." Pei Yi said in a deep voice. He also knew that Zhao Xun was very close to this kind of thing, so he had never neglected these things.
"In addition, the refugees who migrated in this cold winter are a big problem. As far as we know, many places have been frozen to death because refugees wander in the snow. In this case, in Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Yongzhou, etc.
There are always lands. We can’t imagine this. Even if we enter our territory and fail to discover it in time, it may lead to starvation and freezing to death."
Zhao Xun frowned and said, "No matter what, you can't ignore this. In this way, let the soldiers on the border patrol more, especially the local county soldiers and government soldiers, just treat them as regular training. Although they
It is not a regular soldier, but it may be added at any time. Letting them train in this kind of weather is also a kind of training for them."
…………
The cold wind whistled, the snowflakes fluttered, and the whole earth was white.
"What's going on? What is the second young master doing?" Looking at the plum blossoms blooming proudly in the cold in the courtyard, Lin Shucheng felt particularly irritable. The reason was nothing else, but the former Liangzhou Grand Prix, who was still in Liangzhou.
Governor, Situ Fei, the second son of King Yong.
What worried Lin Shucheng was that he discovered that the power of Liangzhou was again controlled by the former Liangzhou army. Not only in the army, but also in the government affairs of the Grand Governor's Office, he was gradually unable to get involved in it.
It’s not that Lin Shucheng is not smart, it’s that he has no ability, but that the current Liangzhou people do not follow the rules at all. In other words, no matter what means he uses, the other party will ignore it at all. It can be said that the Liangzhou people have already put it into practice.
He, the new commander-in-chief of Liangzhou, was left behind.
Since the last time he had been defeated in the defending city, the military power of the Liangzhou army has been gradually recaptured by the original Liangzhou army. It would be fine if it was defeated this time, but similar situations have occurred everywhere.
Some officers in the rear were even removed for various reasons, and Lin Shucheng had nothing to say.
For example, the garrison general of Longxi Prefecture was exposed for causing trouble to the people and insulting women, and was immediately replaced. Other reasons are difficult to describe, but they all have the same, that is, the evidence is conclusive and the debate is indisputable.
After Lin Shucheng personally asked, he found that these confidants didn't know what was going on. Just like the garrison general who was lustful or insulted by women, he didn't know what was going on. There was a big city family on his bed.
Women and children.
However, after the original general and the school resumed their original positions, the Liangzhou army became more and more enthusiastic in the war, and could even counterattack the Zhao army and repel them. When they saw the Zhao army, they were defeated, they immediately turned over as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Becoming much stronger.
Lin Shucheng immediately felt that there must be other problems. At first, Lin Shucheng thought that a senior official from the Grand Governor of Liangzhou colluded with the Zhao army and deliberately framed him. But then he discovered that the civil servants in Liangzhou also began to
I won't take him seriously.
In Liangzhou, both civil and military officials were disdainful of his military orders. As time went by, no one in Liangzhou had paid attention to the Liangzhou Grand Governor anymore. Even the civil service system of the Grand Governor's Office was all
If you ask for leave, you will not come, and ignore him, the governor.
Will there be any trouble if Liangzhou loses the governor who manages everything? No, there is nothing wrong. All these officials work alone in the mansion, and Pinri gathers in Changshi Tianyu's mansion to handle all matters in Liangzhou. And Liang
No one in the state reported to Lin Shucheng anymore, but went directly to Tian Yu's mansion.
The residence of Liang Prefect Shi Tianyu is completely another Grand Governor's Office, but what is missing is the title of Grand Governor. Lin Shucheng had no choice but to give orders to these people that the other party was seriously ill and could not be in charge of the director.
Send your own confidants to deal with it? They can't leave Longxi Prefecture City at all.
Of course, the officials in Longxi Prefecture City did not have too much difficulty for the Grand Governor. Every time Wang Hewen, Tian Yu and others handled the affairs of Liangzhou, they still took them to the Grand Governor's Office for Lin Shucheng to stamp them.
Seeing this, Lin Shucheng did not react at all, although he made many moves. No matter how Lin Shucheng took action, the other party had ignored him.
This time, Lin Shucheng was not led by many people. Some of the confidants who were military officers were either arrested and imprisoned for various crimes or died in the battlefield. When Lin Shucheng kept receiving his confidants and
It was too late to understand that there was something wrong with the Zhao army. Lin Shucheng immediately sent someone to send orders to these confidants in the army, preparing to transfer them back in the name of the Grand Commander, but at this moment, these people were basically all of them.
"Dead" in battle.
Therefore, in mid-December, Lin Shucheng's confidants were basically left. They were all under house arrest in Longxi Prefecture and were not allowed to leave. Even though Lin Shucheng was extremely talented, he had no choice but to do so.
