Chapter 529 Millions of troops gather in Guanzhong
"Yes, Zhuge Liang led troops to attack our southern grassland before. I was captured by him. Later, the leader exchanged me for food. I have seen Zhuge Liang. This person is definitely Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's military advisor. He is unpredictable.
Zhuge Military Advisor."
The little leader of Xianbei stepped forward and looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Qing was kneeling on the ground, with smoke coming from his nervous throat and staring at the two of them without blinking.
He was not sure. Zhuge Liang had defeated the Xianbei army countless times, killed many Xianbei soldiers, and robbed countless grain, cattle and sheep.
Will these Xianbei people hate Zhuge Liang to the core? Then wouldn’t they no longer have any chance of survival?
Zhuge Qing hated Zhuge Liang in his heart.
"Ah." The little leader of Xianbei shouted in surprise, got off his horse, imitated the etiquette of the Han people, and hurriedly handed over to Zhuge Liang: "Oh, this is Zhuge's military advisor. It's really disrespectful. Zhuge's military advisor came to the southern grassland back then, and I, Xianbei
Everyone regards him as a god, so now that he can see his true form, he is very lucky."
Zhuge Qinglai looked defeated. After listening to the words of the little leader of Xianbei, a bright light flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up, nodded to the little leader of Xianbei and bowed: "Distinguished leader, this is my cousin Zhuge Liang, and I am his
Cousin, a flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. We are all one family. Leader, since we are all old acquaintances, can we leave?"
"Of course, we don't dare to embarrass Zhuge Kongming's cousin." The Xianbei leader grabbed the property that he had just collected from Zhuge Qing and others and handed it back in full.
"I have offended you just now. Please forgive me. Cousin Zhuge can take people away now. However, Mr. Zhuge wants to accompany us to the Hetao Grassland. The leader of my family must treat him as a distinguished guest."
This little Xianbei leader is the younger brother of the Western Xianbei monarch Xie Gui Ni. Now Western Xianbei has suffered heavy losses due to the battle in the North. Zhe Lanying led the Di people to plunder the Xianbei tribe outside the Great Wall. The situation in Western Xianbei is critical.
.
The Budugen, Suli, Kebineng and other tribes in Xianbei in the east all coveted Hetao. They heard that Xieguini's strength had been greatly reduced, and they all wanted to annex it.
Xi Xianbei, from Xie Guini to the noble leaders, were extremely worried. When they saw Zhuge Liang, the little leader was immediately overjoyed. If there was a god like Zhuge Liang sitting in the Hetao, he would definitely have nothing to worry about, and might even help Xie Guini.
Advance eastward and unify Xianbei.
Thinking of the benefits from Zhuge Liang, the little leader smiled in his heart. Why should he be stingy with a little property?
"Mr. Kong Ming, what do you think?" The little leader looked at Zhuge Liang hopefully.
"Just agree." Zhuge Qing urged from the side.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. After thinking for a while, he opened his eyes with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll go with you. But I have a condition."
"Don't mention one condition, I will agree to it even if it is ten thousand." The little leader was originally worried that Zhuge Liang and other famous Han people would not join the Xianbei foreigners, but he did not expect that there would be a chance, and he was overjoyed.
Zhuge Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was not stubborn this time. He was about to leave with his men when Zhuge Liang's faint voice came.
"Kill Zhuge Qing and these people."
Zhuge Liang's voice was calm, and both Zhuge Qing and the little leader were stunned. Suspecting that he had not heard clearly, the little leader said: "Mr. Zhuge, are you mistaken? This is your cousin."
Zhuge Liang turned around and left. The little leader was very anxious and shouted: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhuge is a different person. He has my Xianbei style. He is destined to join my Xianbei tribe."
The little leader waved his hand, and without Zhuge Liang's protection, the Xianbei people killed Zhuge Qing and others without any hesitation. Zhuge Qing's face turned pale, "Zhuge Liang, you..." before he could finish his sentence, he was hacked to death by the Xianbei people.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang completely broke with the Zhuge family.
Zhuge Liang followed the Xianbei people to the Hetao Grassland, but the little leader's IQ was limited. If he were a little smarter, he would have known how Zhuge Liang could work for his Xianbei people.

The tomb of Mrs. Beigongzhi belonged to Ma Yunlu. Zhao Yun asked Liu Zhang for a reward for Beigongzhi's tomb, and was granted permission. Therefore, Beigongzhi, who was killed by Zhao Yun, could only be buried under an inconspicuous small earthen bag.
Now in front of this small patch of soil covered with weeds, a woman and two guards stood motionless in front of her. The woman had a beautiful face, but she was filled with uncontrollable grief and anger. Her fingers slowly twisted and creaked.
.
"Chief, let's leave quickly. Xiaopanshan is controlled by the Sichuan Army. If we are discovered, it will be difficult for us to leave," said a follower.
The woman is Zhe Lanying, the leader of the Di people.
Zhe Lanying led the Di people out of the Great Wall from the ancient Ansai Road, but for some reason, the Sichuan army ambushed them in advance on this road and burned most of the Di people's food. Zhe Lanying had to lead the Di people to fight in the grassland and fight with the grassland tribes.
Great war.
Zhe Lanying wiped out seven small Xianbei tribes in one fell swoop and forged a life-and-death feud with the Western Xianbei before he could barely gain a foothold. But there was a long way to go until the end of the Spring Famine, and there would probably be no shortage of battles with the Xianbei people.
But at this moment, Zhe Lanying heard the shocking news. The Sichuan army raided Yumen Pass and conquered Xiaopan Mountain. Beigong Zhi was killed and the Beigong family was wiped out.
When she heard that Bei Gongzhi had been killed, Zhe Lanying had just won a great victory and fainted on the spot at the celebration banquet. After waking up, Zhe Lanying immediately got on her horse and took hundreds of followers with her, galloping day and night.
Towards Xiaopan Mountain.
There is no miracle, only a lonely grave in Beigongzhi is waiting for Zhe Lanying.
Zhe Lanying stared at the dirt bag in front of her without moving, thinking about everything she had with Bei Gongzhi, and knelt down towards Bei Gongzhi's tomb.
"Brother Beigong, you said you would come to marry me. Why did you slip up again? Didn't Zhelan tell you that? If you slip up again, Zhelan will hate you forever. Don't you care about Zhelan at all?
?”
"Brother Beigong, no matter you live or die, Zhelan will always be your wife. Brother Beigong, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you, and I will make Liu Zhang pay with blood."
"Liu Zhang, I won't let you go."
Hatred and murderous intent radiated from Zhe Lanying's body. At this moment, Zhe Lanying hated Liu Zhang like never before.
If before she was forced to marry Liu Zhang, forced to escape the marriage, forced to leave her father, forced to leave the Central Plains, Zhe Lanying's hatred was only at the level of disgust, but now, Zhe Lanying can't wait to tear Liu Zhang into pieces.
Zhe Lanying stood up slowly: "Where is Guan Yinping?"
"I heard that he returned to the Sichuan Army." Ako said.
"Bitch."
Zhe Lanying felt that Beigong Zhi was blind, how could he fall in love with such a ruthless woman, and said to A Ke: "Immediately organize the army when we get back and kill at the Hetao. I will overthrow the Xianbei royal court."
"What?" Akko was shocked: "Chief, our army now only has 30,000 people, and the Hetao is a den of mud. How can we be their opponent? What's more, we don't have enough food and grass. If we can't attack for a long time, or the two armies are in a stalemate, we will definitely lose our food and grass.
It’s not good enough and can’t be supported.”
"I can't control that much anymore." Zhe Lanying shouted: "Robbing for food, when will we finish it? When the spring famine is over, the Xianbei people will still make trouble for us. When can we go south? What?
When can I kill Liu Zhang?
No, I can't wait any longer. I must overthrow the Western Xianbei Royal Court as quickly as possible, completely eliminate Xianbei's future troubles, occupy the Hetao, and then the army will go south. I will crush the Yizhou Butcher's bones and raise them to ashes."
After Zhe Lanying finished speaking, she stopped talking and turned around to leave. Akko looked at Zhe Lanying's back and knew that this affectionate girl had been completely replaced by hatred.
Looking back at Beigongzhi's tomb, Ako shook his head. Back in the Diren Valley, he had planned to seek refuge with Beigongzhi. The people in the Dada tribe had a good impression of Beigongzhi, but he didn't expect that he would turn into one so quickly.
A cup of loess is a pity for a good man.

Guanzhong, the birthplace of the Qin Empire and the 200-year-old capital of the Han Dynasty, once gathered prosperity from all over the world and demonstrated the eternal prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Guanzhong began to suffer devastation, especially when Li Jue and Guo Si fought and warlords fought, and Guanzhong became a scorched earth.
But now the land of Guanzhong is once again covered with clouds. Since the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, another great war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is about to start here.
And the scale is far larger than other battles in history.
Cao Cao only left Jin Mao Jie in Youzhou to defend the Yuan family, Wuhuan and Liaodong, Xu Huang in Shouchun to defend Jiangdong, and Zhang Liao in Wancheng to defend Jingzhou.
Gathered all the troops and horses in the north, including Xiongnu and other cavalry, totaling more than 500,000, drained the treasury in the northern part of the Central Plains, and levied taxes on a large scale. Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang He, Xia Houyuan and other powerful generals, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu
Waiting for the counselors to gather in Chang'an.
The tiger and leopard cavalry, Qingzhou soldiers and other elite Cao troops were all dispatched.
Liu Zhang also conquered Yongliang with an army of 300,000, including Ma Chao and Han Sui's Xiliang cavalry, newly recruited Xiliang cavalry, and surrendered elite troops under Beigong Zhi, totaling 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, the original Han army of 100,000, and Qiang
There are 60,000 soldiers and 40,000 barbarians.
In addition, 100,000 Han troops from Yizhou, Jingzhou and 30,000 Wuxi troops were mobilized. Yewutiebaojin led the troops northward.
Nanzhongman, Yang Feng's 20,000 soldiers and horses from Yinye Cave in the west, Mengjie's 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yinkeng Cave, 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Roasting Hammer King from Xianxi Cave, 20,000 soldiers and horses from Bana Cave's Mulu King, and others
An army of beasts.
Wutu Gu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom, was overjoyed when he saw the giant woman from Parthia sent by Liu Zhang. He received Liu Zhang's recruitment order and without saying a word, the entire 30,000 Tengjia army was dispatched and led the troops northward with his wife from Parthia.
The total army of the southern and central barbarians marching north was 130,000.
Adding up all the Sichuan troops, the total strength reached 560,000, which was as strong as Cao Cao.
The harvest of autumn grain in the two prefectures of Jingyi, plus the seizure of Liu Bei and Beigong Zhi, was enough for the army. The Yumen Pass was opened. The merchants of Jingyi were ecstatic and took the lead in donating money and grain to the Sichuan Army. Money and grain continued to flow into the Sichuan Army.
Even if the people of Jingyi stayed at home, they knew that the Great War in Guanzhong was in danger for the Sichuan Army. In the summer, when the Sichuan Army was short of food, they not only did not impose additional taxes, but also mobilized people to donate to save the disaster area. At this time, they donated money and food.
