The emergence of the Quyu Plow definitely has a cross-epochal significance. Originally, Liu Chan planned to stay in Yi County for two more days, and then go all the way south to Hanzhong via Xiegu Road, and by the way, introduce the Quyu Plow into Shuzhong.<
/p>
It's a pity that plans can never keep up with changes.
The morning of March 17th.
A small school hurriedly came to Xixian County, changing Liu Chan's planned itinerary.
"Qiang and Hu soldiers invaded Liangzhou?"
Liu Chan asked incredulously, because the Qiang and Hu were located in the area north of Guanzhong. After Cao Cao defeated the Xiongnu, he divided them into several tribes, and the Qiang and Hu were counted as one of them.
In recent years, the Central Plains has been divided into the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu. The Qiang and Hu have always been honest, at least they have not harassed Guanzhong.
"Yeah!" Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yesterday evening, Liangzhou Governor Ma Tianxiao sent people to Chang'an to ask for help, saying that the Qiang and Hu sent 30,000 troops to invade Liangzhou."
Zhuge Liang didn't seem nervous and spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, if Liangzhou is lost," Zhuge Liang paused deliberately and then asked, "If Liangzhou is lost, I, Longyou, will definitely be uneasy. If we send troops to Liangzhou at this time, what if Cao Wei takes advantage of this to invade Guanzhong..."
Zhuge Liang looked deliberately embarrassed, and Liu Chan naturally wanted to laugh secretly. After all, for a master like the prime minister, how could such a trivial matter make him so embarrassed?
You always want to test me.
Liu Chan's conjecture.
"Xiangfu——" Liu Chan said calmly: "In that case, then stand still and let him fight."
After saying that, he pretended to be calm. After all, the war had not reached the territory of the Han Dynasty at this time, so why were he so anxious to get angry? As for whether Liangzhou was ruled by Ma Tianxiao or the Qiang and Hu, it didn't seem to matter to the Han Dynasty.
There is no difference.
"Stand still?"
Zhuge Liang asked.
"Well!" Liu Chan said: "Stand still."
"What if the Qiang and Hu capture Liangzhou and then attack Longyou with their troops?" Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "What should I, a big man, do?"
"Also, Ma Tianxiao is now my ally of the Han Dynasty. If my ally asks for help, I, the Han Dynasty, will ignore it."
"..."
Zhuge Liang obviously had a plan in mind, but he deliberately asked Liu Chan how to deal with it. Looking at the serious look on the prime minister's face, Liu Chan paused and thought it would be better to answer seriously.
"Xiangfu," Liu Chan said, "I, the Han, will definitely take the land of Liangzhou sooner or later." He smiled and said, "At this time, the Qiang and Hu invaded Liangzhou, which gave our army an excellent opportunity."<
/p>
"Oh???" Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any wise ideas?"
Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "My father-in-law is joking. I am not good at leading troops in battles. I have to rely on my father-in-law to make a decision. I just feel that if the Qiang and Hu soldiers invade Liangzhou at this time, if my big man comes out with a surprise force, I will immediately
Force the Qiang and Hu to their old nest;" He paused deliberately before adding: "Then after sending an army into Liangzhou, the Liangzhou and Hetao areas will all belong to my big man."
Liu Chan really doesn't know how to fight. Even in the previous Battle of Guanzhong, he actually didn't do much. He just took a time difference and occupied Tongguan, Wuguan, and Pubanjin first.
What happens next depends entirely on Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
Later, it turned out that Zhuge Liang was indeed a talent. He rushed to Tongguan with his main force, preventing Cao Wei's reinforcements from entering Guanzhong, and the Han Dynasty won the Battle of Guanzhong.
At this time, Qiang and Hu soldiers invaded Liangzhou.
Liu Chan didn't know whether his plan was correct, but it was obvious that Zhuge Liang intended to test him.
"I wonder who your Majesty thinks you should send there."
Liu Chan's plan, not to mention, made Zhuge Liang somewhat satisfied. After all, when the Qiang and Hu sent troops to Liangzhou, his lair would be empty. If he led a surprise army at this time and raided the Qiang and Hu's lair, this would not only relieve Liangzhou's difficulties.
, at the same time, the Han Dynasty will also expand its territory and annex the Hetao area north of Guanzhong.
If the Han Dynasty occupied the Hetao area, even if there was no Liangzhou, the Han Dynasty would still have a place to raise horses.
Moreover, when the time is right, the Han Dynasty can go east from the Hetao area——
"Let Wei Yan go."
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Wei Yan is good at taking risks. If he is sent to infiltrate into the river, it may be miraculous. Even if he loses, it will not affect the overall situation of Liangzhou. On the contrary, if the Qiang and Hu know that Wei Yan has raided their lair, they will be upset."
."
Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this.
Because when Xiao Xiao reported to him that Qiang and Hu soldiers invaded Liangzhou, he had already ordered Wei Yan and Zhang Bao to each lead five thousand elite troops to attack the Qiang and Hu lair in Hetao north.
He used Wei Yan because Wei Yan liked to take risks.
During the last Northern Expedition, Wei Yan proposed to send troops out of Ziwu Road, but at that time Zhuge Liang did not dare to use the entire Han Dynasty to take this risk, so he did not adopt it.
But this time is different.
Whether it is the Hetao area or Liangzhou, they are not Cao Wei. If the Han wanted to capture these two areas, it would be relatively easy. They had been holding back their troops before, just to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong first.
This time the Qiang and Hu took the initiative to attack Liangzhou, which gave the Han an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the plan proposed by Liu Chan was actually the same as what he thought.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Liang sighed: "I have sent Wei Yan and Zhang Bao to attack the Qiang and Hu in the Hetao area. In a few days, I will lead 30,000 elite troops and go west to Longyou to meet with Ma Tianxiao to hunt the main force of the Qiang and Hu."
"Thank you for your help, father." Liu Chan said.
Originally, they were going to take Maya and Wang Yuanji south to Shuzhong, but due to the sudden war in Liangzhou, the incognito trip could only be temporarily suspended. Early the next morning, a group of more than ten people hurriedly returned to Chang'an.
However, before leaving, Liu Chan told the local officials in Yi County that the Quyuan plow must be implemented. Although the Han Dynasty is going to war again, the domestic spring plowing cannot be delayed.
Return to Chang'an.
Ma E has always been worried.
Because the Qiang and Hu soldiers invaded Liangzhou, she also heard about it. The day after returning to Chang'an, the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang personally led 30,000 elite troops to Liangzhou to rescue Ma Tianxiao.
But——
As long as the war is not over, her anxious heart will not be at peace.
"Your Majesty!"
Ma E said: "I want to return to Liangzhou. After the Qiang and Hu are defeated, I can return to Beijing to serve His Majesty."
On the third day after Zhuge Liang left, Ma E once again proposed to return to Liangzhou to help his father Ma Tianxiao resist the Qiang and Hu attacks, but Liu Chan naturally would not agree.
"Don't worry, E'er." Liu Chan said: "Although the Qiang and Hu are brave, the prime minister has led an army into Liangzhou. It will not take a few days to solve the problem of the Qiang and Hu."
"But," Ma E said anxiously, "I always miss my father and the elders in my hometown."
Seeing Ma E's anxious look, Liu Chan couldn't help but said with some distress: "Don't be anxious, E'er. I will send people to Liangzhou to inquire about the news later. If Liangzhou is already stable, E'er can rest assured. If Liangzhou is in danger,
, I would like to return to Liangzhou with E'er."
Although Ma E married into Chang'an, it was also a political marriage.
However, after getting along with each other these days, Liu Chan has actually become interested in Ma E.
He can naturally understand Ma E's mood.
Just letting Ma E fight back to Liangzhou won't solve anything. It's better to send someone to Liangzhou to have a look. After all, Liu Chan is also very concerned about the war in Liangzhou.
