Great Han Empire

Chapter 989 Chapter [-]
Grand Tutor Yang Biao and Da Sima Xu Rong hurried to the Qilin Hall.

Taiwei Zhang Yan and Guang Luxun Zhao Yun both strongly demanded reinforcements on the Wudu battlefield, but Taifu Yang Biao, Prime Minister Li Wei and Yushi doctor Xun You were very cautious and did not agree immediately.Now that the imperial court's wealth is extremely tight, if more troops are added to the Wudu battlefield, it will inevitably affect the supply of food and grass for the expedition to Hehuang.

"Although General Yan Liang was defeated at Hechi and Xianrenguan, his attack forced Liu Bei to abandon Longxi and retreat to Wudu County, thus creating favorable conditions for the expeditionary army to defeat the Qiang people and recover the territory of Hehuang. Taifu Yang Biao said, "Half of the attack goal of the southward army has been achieved, and the other half goal is to capture Hechi and Xianrenguan before Liu Bei withdraws, so as to encircle and wipe out Liu Bei, but this goal is too difficult to achieve. The general's order does not stipulate that it must be completed, so I don't think it is necessary to support the Wudu battlefield now. It is only necessary to let General Yan Liang retreat to the front line of Fengting and Liangdangting to maintain the threat to the rebels and drag Liu Bei's army. Just stay in Wudu. After His Majesty and the General have defeated the Qiang people, regained Jincheng and Longxi counties, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is under control again, it will not be too late for the imperial court to send troops south to attack."

Li Wei and Xun You also have the same opinion.Even if Wudu is captured at this moment, Liu Bei cannot be completely wiped out.Liu Bei's army can stick to Hanzhong, or it can retreat to Bashu. No matter how the army fights, the possibility of taking Hanzhong this year is very small.Instead of fighting a meaningless victory in Wudu, it is better to support the expeditionary force with all its strength to recover the vast territory around Hehuang.

"What if we can take Hanzhong?" Zhang Yan insisted on supporting the Wudu battlefield and insisting on attacking Hanzhong. His reason was that as long as the army defeated Liu Bei in Wudu, Yang Song in Hanzhong would take the opportunity to block Yangping Pass and stop Liu Bei's army. Withdrew into Hanzhong and surrendered to the imperial court, while Wei Duan, Yang Fu and other Wudu officials had secretly sent people to Hanyang to get in touch with Huangfu Li, and they would surrender the city at an appropriate time.Now is the best time for the army to capture Wudu and Hanzhong. If this opportunity is missed, Yang Song in Hanzhong, Wei Duan, Yang Fu in Wudu, and others may be killed.

"We can't give up the Wudu battlefield and the strategy of capturing Wudu and Hanzhong just because of a defeat." Zhao Yun persuaded, "The capture of Wudu and Hanzhong is related to the imperial court's plan to counter the rebellion, and it is related to the strategy of controlling Shu. It should be sooner rather than later. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the battle situation in Longnan will be for us."

Grand Sima Xu Rong also tended to support the Wudu battlefield, but he had to face up to the dilemma faced by the imperial court's wealth, and he had to consider the overall situation.At present, in addition to the battlefields in western Xinjiang, there is also an increasingly serious crisis in northern Xinjiang. If the situation in northern Xinjiang is out of control and the army conquers northern Xinjiang next year, the strategy of "containing Shu" may be postponed indefinitely. This will affect the overall counter-rebellion strategy of the court. Advancement is extremely disadvantageous.

"Gather your forces first." Xu Rong suggested, "Conscript [-] troops from the Southern Army and the four battalions of General Wang Dang and General Liao Lei to assemble at Chencang. Zilong (Zhao Yun) is the commander of the army, and Qizhi (Yang Feng) ) as deputy. If the general can severely injure the Qiang people and recover Hehuang before October, Zilong will lead an army of [-] to go south immediately, occupy Wudu and Hanzhong, and realize the strategy of controlling Shu."

Xu Rong's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.That night, Xu Rong flew to Liyang to report to the eldest princess.

September of the second year of Yuanping in the Han Dynasty (AD 104).

September, Xijiang, Hehuang battlefield.

The Daxiaoyu Valley (now the southern part of the Yellow River in Guide) is located in the central and western part of Huang. It blocks the big river in the north, and the terrain is dangerous. Because the land is fertile, it is rich in farm animals, and it also has the benefits of fish and salt in the West Sea. Therefore, it has always been a must for all tribes of the Qiang people. place.

More than 200 years ago, this was the residence of the Xianling Qiang. Later, under the leadership of its leader Dianliang, the powerful Shaodang Qiang drove away the Xianling Qiang people and seized the big and small Yugu.After Dianliang's death, his son Dianwu, his grandson Miwu, Haowu and others repeatedly went to the sidelines, which became the scourge of the Han Dynasty.In the autumn of the first year of Emperor Xiaoming's Yongping (AD 58), Zhonglang general Dou Gu, xenophobe general Ma Wu and others led an army to defeat Dianwu.The following year, Dianwu surrendered, willing to defend the territory for the great Han.Dou Lin, the captain of the Huqiang School, played immediately, and the imperial court named him "Guiyihou", plus the title "Han Daduwei", and built a Guiyi city in the north of Xiaoyu Valley.

Now, the Son of Heaven and the Great General Li Hong are standing on the tower of Guiyi City, watching groups of soldiers speeding across the river bridge and entering the territory of the Qiang people.

"It's so beautiful..." The emperor looked at the blue sky, the picturesque mountains and forests, fascinated, "This place is so beautiful...the Qiang people have such a beautiful homeland, why do they invade the big Han, and repeatedly kill them? "

"Because the territory of the Han Dynasty is wider, the pastures are more fertile, and there are countless cattle, sheep and treasures." Fu Gan stood beside him and said with a smile, "The Qiang people are greedy and will not satisfy this small land. Valley."

The emperor shook his head regretfully, indulging in the charming scenery.

Li Xiu held the general's hand, pointed to several puffs of smoke rising into the sky in the distance, and asked softly, "Father, are the Qiang people gathering?"

"They have no way out. If they want to save their homes and the lives of their loved ones, they have to fight us to the death." Li Hong's voice had a murderous look in it.

"Will they die?" Li Xiu asked worriedly.Ever since seeing the battlefield full of corpses, Li Xiu has been frightened, often waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night, and the wildness in her body has disappeared.The war was far more bloody and cruel than she had imagined.

Li Hong looked down at her and nodded solemnly, "They have no chance of surviving."

The Han army was able to quickly find the main force of the Qiang people, and chased them all the way to the big and small Yugu, all because of Baima Qiang Leibiao.

After Liu Bei arrived in Longxi, he was unable to advance further, and the Qiang people such as Lei Biao, Yu Feng, and Li Cai continued to harass him. In desperation, he had no choice but to adopt Zhuge Liang's suggestion to give money and food to the Qiang people, and the two sides negotiated peace.After the Han army entered Hehuang, Liu Bei quickly withdrew from Longxi. His speed was so fast that the Qiang people didn't notice it for a while. When the Qiang people found out, the Han army had already roared along the banks of the Yellow River.

Li Cai, Lei Biao and others always thought that the target of the Han army was Shaodang Qiang, Hong Ri and Tietou, but they didn't expect the Han army to turn around and kill Longxi with a feint shot.

Zhong Cun, Mi Tang, Lao Jie, Wu Wu and other Qiang troops turned around and ran away under the command of Li Cai.

Lei Biao and Yu Feng also wanted to run, but Pang De and Ma Chao were very fast. They rushed ahead of the Qiang people, occupied Didao, and blocked the escape route of Baima Qiang and Shenlang Qiang.Lei Biao was terrified, turned around and headed south, intending to catch up with Li Cai, and temporarily went to Elm Valley to avoid the limelight.Unexpectedly, Li Cai turned his back on them and ambushed them in Little Rock City, looting all their belongings.

Lei Biao gritted his teeth in hatred.The hatred between the two parties has lasted for several generations, but this is only the hatred between the Qiang people. Whenever they deal with the Han people, everyone still ignores the past and unanimously speaks out.This time Li Cai took the lead in destroying the tradition left by his ancestors, and wanted to put Baima Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang to death.

Lei Biao gritted his teeth, together with Yu Feng and the remaining 4000 people, they defected to Ma Chao.Back then, Ma Chao borrowed soldiers from Baima Qiang many times. When Hong Ri, Tang Xiao and others attacked Hehuang last time, Lei Biao had helped him with all his might. Of course, Ma Chao had to repay this kindness, so he did not hesitate to take Lei Biao and Yu Feng met with the emperor and the general.The emperor comforted them with kind words, accepted their surrender, and promised to allow them to move to Longxi after the stability of Western Xinjiang.

Lei Biao and Yu Feng were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to help the Han army attack Xiaoyugu.Lei Biao suggested that Pang De, Ma Chao and him would launch a frontal attack from the direction of Xiaoshicheng, and Yufeng would lead another Han army along the north bank of the Yellow River to Guiyi City, and launch an attack from the rear of Xiaoyugu , in order to encircle and annihilate Zhong Cun and other Qiang troops.

In September, [-] cavalry of the Han army surrounded the Qiang people at the foot of Wangyue Mountain in the south of Xiaoyu Valley, and attacked them from all sides.

Zhenbei General Yan Rou, Zhengxi General Pang De, Xiangwu General Wei Jun, Li Feng General Jiang Wu, Qiang General Ma Chao, Huben General Lei Zi, Changshui General Mustafa, and Huqi General Zhaifeng each with fierce The pawns rushed back and forth, and in a short period of time, they tore the Qiang people's battle formation to pieces.

Li Cai, Chadu and other Qiang leaders struggled with 7000 troops and tried to break out of the encirclement.

The soldiers of Huben Yulin Battalion were eager to try. Duan Xuan, Jie Wu, Zhang Xiao and others called for the battle several times. General Jia Xu of the Chinese army had no choice but to run to the general and said, "May I let Your Majesty experience it for myself?"

Jia Xu's suggestion is very tempting.The little emperor cried out immediately when he heard the words, "General, let's kill, kill..."

Li Hong smiled, turned to Anyan and said, "You take thirty Tiqi to protect the Son of Heaven, don't have any accidents."

Ren Ran bowed to accept the order, and waved at the soldiers behind him.Thirty soldiers rushed forward, firmly protecting the emperor in the middle.The little emperor looked around, it was airtight, and he couldn't see anything except a small piece of blue sky above his head.The little emperor was in a hurry, staring at Wu Ren and shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, you are blocking my way..."

"Your Majesty, [-] iron cavalry are gathered in a dense formation, charging in a wild goose formation, and the people in the formation can't see the way at all." Ren Ren said respectfully.

"Then how do I kill the enemy?"

"Archery." Arbitrary pointed to the delicate bow on the emperor's back, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty just needs to aim at the enemies in front of the battle formation and shoot at will."

"Oh..." The little emperor was both nervous and excited, he quickly put the dagger into the sheath, and raised his hand to take out the bow.

"Your Majesty, don't take the bow now..." You said, "Before charging, you must push the speed of the horse to the limit. You must concentrate on driving the horse, and when the horn sounds, shoot rapidly."

"Oh..." The little emperor nodded repeatedly, holding the rein tightly with both hands, "Blow the horn, blow the horn quickly..."

=

The general turned to look at Li Xiu, "Are you nervous?"

Li Xiu's expression was very frightened, and she was almost out of breath from the tension.

"Follow me, don't be afraid..." Li Hong said with a smile, "Only when you forget life and death can you move forward bravely."

"Order Lei Zi, get out of the way, and let the Qiang people break through..."

"Drive..." Li Hong kicked the horse's belly suddenly, the horse suffered from pain, immediately stood upright, and rushed out like flying.Xie Wu held up the Black Panther battle flag, followed closely behind, "The general patrolling..."

=

Tiqi was divided in the middle, and the little emperor's eyes lit up, and he saw the general galloping like flying in front of the formation, with his long hair blowing in the wind, majestic and majestic.

"Woooo..." The horn sounded long, resounding through the mountains.

The little emperor looked around strangely, "What is this for? Still not attacking?"

He smiled freely, and just about to speak, he heard a loud roar from the front, "Big man...Tianwei..."

The little emperor was startled, and shrank his head subconsciously.

"Big man...Tianwei..."

The huge roar swept across like a tsunami, setting off waves of shock and shaking the world.

Raising their swords arbitrarily, shouting at the top of their lungs; the warriors raised their weapons, raised their heads to the sky, and shouted wildly.

The roar echoed among the mountains and resounded through the sky, and the situation changed instantly.

The little emperor suddenly came to his senses, his blood boiled all over his body, and the sudden huge stimulation made him forget his fear and the battlefield instantly. Like all the soldiers, he raised his hands high and waved his two small fists, blushing face, roared out with all the strength in his body, "Big man...Tianwei..."

Li Xiu looked at the majestic posture of his father waving the spear, and listened to the deafening roar, suddenly his heart trembled and tears fell like rain.At this moment, she felt that she had melted into her father's body and felt the rushing blood in his body. At this moment, there was no more life and death, no more timidity, only the pride and pride of being a big man's soul, and only the soaring desire to be smashed to pieces for a big man courage.

Li Xiu raised his spear high and shouted wildly, "Big man...Tianwei..."

=

"Kill..." Li Hong reined in the horse suddenly, and raised his spear while the horse was standing upright and neighing in pain, "Kill up..."

"Kill..." five thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the horses rode forward, and the cavalry army started amidst the thunderstorms.

=

The little emperor was flying like a horse, shouting and shouting non-stop, but he couldn't hear anything, except for the whistling wind and the roar of landslides, all around were densely packed iron cavalry soldiers, densely packed weapons, densely packed battle flag.He felt as if he had fallen into a raging flood, and he would be doomed at any moment. The only thing he could hold on to was the reins, and he held on tightly, lying on the horse's back and screaming helplessly.

"Protect Your Majesty..." Looking at the black panther flag waving wildly in front of him, he shouted repeatedly, "Speed ​​up, speed up..."

=

Li Xiu was dizzy and on the verge of falling, she felt that she was going to die, her chest was about to explode, and the violently bumping horse threw her into the air again and again, as if to tear her into pieces.

Running wildly among thousands of troops is completely different from galloping alone on the open grassland. Just the huge roar is enough to crush a person into powder.Li Xiu groaned in pain, she even wanted to let go of the rein and let her body fall off the horse.

A big hand descended from the sky.Li Xiu felt that she was flying into the sky, and then bumped heavily into a familiar and big embrace.

"Open your eyes..." Li Hong roared loudly, "Kill the enemy, follow me to kill the enemy..."

=

The Qiang people rushed forward.

The most powerful tiger and feather forest army of the big man came to fight head-on. For a while, the arrows were like locusts, the killing sound was like thunder, blood splattered, and broken limbs and arms flew all over the sky.

Tens of thousands of big men surrounded by iron cavalry, the bloody killing instantly flooded the beautiful valley.
