Zhang Liao led eight thousand cavalry galloping on the grassland of Longyou.
Zhang Liao's assembled troops had actually been waiting at You Fufeng for some time. After receiving the order, they set off almost immediately and rushed to the south of Longyou. They first met up with Ma Heng, who was escorting grain and grass from Hanzhong.
After that, the number of troops led by President Zhang Liao will reach about 12,000, of which more than two-thirds are cavalry.
Who is the scariest person in a group fight?
Just a guy who would beat him to death if he caught him...
Such people tend to make people fear them, and they don't dare to provoke them easily. On the contrary, if they hit anyone they see, they will punch this person and kick that person. In the end, they won't feel any pain or itching, and naturally they will
You won't feel so scared.
Even if there are no Han people, starting from Longyou and all the way to the Western Regions, there is basically a group of quarrels. Today, someone had an itchy fist, so he beat up the child next door, and then the child was beaten and attracted
Come on, adults will either wait until the children grow up and then take revenge. Such dramas are too common in this area.
This time the Fan people's actions were within Li Ru and Jia Xu's expectations, but also somewhat unexpected.
What was expected was that the two guys had already predicted that some people might not want to see the Han people's rule in the Western Regions stabilized, so they would inevitably take some actions. But what was unexpected was that they were not willing to see the Han people's rule in the Western Regions stabilized.
I knew where these people would come from, but I never thought that after the integration of the Qiang people in Tibetan areas, a Falcon like a new Qiang king would appear.
However, this unexpected fact does not have much to do with it.
The Qiang people and the Han people have been in love and fighting each other for so many years, which has caused a lot of losses in the national power of the Han people. But similarly, the power of the Qiang people has also been lost a lot in such a long war. If we talk about the heyday of the Qiang people, Zhang Liao's
More than 10,000 people is really not too much. After all, the Qiang people at their peak once had more than 300,000 people. Even if you deduct some old and weak people, there are still about 100,000 people. But now...
Therefore, many Qiang tribes in Longyou and the Western Regions are now unwilling to fight, and this is the reason. However, perhaps when the Qiang people of this generation who have experienced the trauma of war die, the next generation of Qiang people who have not experienced pain will
As you grow up, you may forget your previous scars.
Compared with the Qiang and Hu tribes in Longyou and Hexi who directly clashed with the Han people, these Tibetan people in Tibetan areas basically did not suffer much losses, so naturally they are still full of confidence.
For Li Rujia Xu, the troublesome part is that they are not familiar with the Tibetan areas. Unfamiliarity with the terrain means that their eyesight is dark. Although Yang Fu, Xu Ding and others entered the Tibetan areas, under the cover of negotiation
Some topographic survey charts were passed on, but they were just the routes Yang Fu and others took along the way, and it did not mean that there was only such a way into and out of Tibetan areas.
Therefore, if we want to fight, we still need to lure these Tibetan people out to fight, in order to completely solve some problems. Due to geographical reasons, the Tibetan people have not had any contact with the Han people for a long time. They also ignore the Han people in one aspect. They have also fought with the Han people before.
These Qiang people in Longyou have plundered the Han Dynasty together, and they have long been accustomed to think that the Han Dynasty is a piece of delicious fat. Although the generals of hussars are now crossing the north and south, causing earth-shaking changes in the entire northwestern region of the Han Dynasty, these Tibetan people have
People don't know this, and they haven't noticed such changes.
According to the characters of these barbarians, both Li Ru and Jia Xu believed that they should take advantage of the current strong military strength to catch one of them and beat him to death. Naturally, these barbarians would be convinced, and then there would be at least ten or twenty people in the future.
stable period of the year.
This is the experience gained by the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions with the blood of countless soldiers.
Li Ru and Jia Xu believed that for the Han Dynasty, even if they finally won the battle against the Hu people for a long time, it would only be a miserable victory, or even a loss for both sides, just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Xiongnu to the point of dying.
The Han Dynasty was also covered in wounds and could not move. Although the Han Dynasty had a large population and sufficient troops, it did not mean that it could maintain a long-term combat status. Therefore, if it could show a strong posture and maintain a certain deterrent force, it would naturally be the best.
Strategy.
In the final analysis, when fighting a war, we fight for money, we fight for food and grass, and we fight for population.
"This is a good place..." Zhang Liao chose an area close to the river and asked his soldiers to camp and repair.
The cavalry usually rides on horseback and looks majestic, but in fact, when they get off the horse, they turn into slaves of the war horse. They have to wait for their master to wash themselves, feed and drink them, and then wait for their master to feel comfortable before it is their turn.
Your own rest time.
And many things, such as brushing and feeding horses, need to be done personally, so as to enhance the relationship with the master, so after Zhang Liao issued the order to repair, the infantry brought by Ma Heng were preparing to build the
At the camp, Zhang Liao's cavalry were busy serving their master, and the originally peaceful river suddenly became noisy.
Ma Heng took out the list of food and supplies from the leather bag at his waist, and then calculated it again. He was originally the unlucky child who cultivated immortality, and was left alone by Liu Dan, but later because of Liu Dan's own problems, Ma Heng was
Zhang Ze of Hanzhong was intentionally or unintentionally pushed to the fringes of Hanzhong's political circles. Li Ru didn't say anything when he was still in Hanzhong. In fact, on the one hand, it was to temper Ma Heng's character, and on the other hand, he also relied on the guardianship of Yangping Pass.
This position allowed Ma Heng to gain more military experience. This time, Li Ru suggested to Fei Qian that he transferred Ma Heng to serve as Zhang Liao's deputy to assist in the logistics of this expedition.
Zhang Liao glanced at Ma Heng and saw Ma Heng frowning, so he asked: "Why, the quantity of grain and grass is wrong?"
Ma Heng shook his head and said: "Don't worry, General Wenyuan, there is no difference... I am just calculating how long this food and grass can last... If this takes a long time..."
Zhang Liao nodded, and then said: "It shouldn't last long..." Of course, this is also Zhang Liao's wish, but on the battlefield, many things are not decided by one party. It depends on the cooperation of the other party and the correct posture.
Incorrect.
Ma Heng was silent, then put the list back into his bag, looked at the busy soldiers around him, and suddenly said: "Speaking of food and grass... General Wenyuan, a certain person once again recounted the old stories of the Xiqiang... I don't know why the big man consumed so much food and grass.
It’s a big place, but the Hu people seem to come and go freely, as if they have no food and grass... It’s really puzzling..."
Zhang Liao smiled and said: "I know a little about this matter. When I followed General Hussar to Guanzhong, I also talked about this matter during my leisure time during the march... General Hussar said that in addition to the Han Dynasty's corruption in the northwest,
In addition to the corruption and misappropriation of materials, it is also related to the completely different social systems of the Han and Hu people..."
"What system?" Ma Heng wondered if he understood.
"Social system... She, the country, Hui, the gathering of the people, system, the rules for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce..." Zhang Liao picked up a branch, scrawled four words on the ground, and then explained it and said, "
General Hussar said that because most of the Hu people were slaves in the social system, when the Hu people went to war, one master brought many slave soldiers. Only when the battle was victorious could these slaves have the opportunity to change their status. Therefore, these slaves were naturally on the battlefield.
Fight to the death, and at the same time, the barbarians don’t need to give the slaves any more money or food. They are naturally capable of fighting, and the overall consumption is much less than us..."
Ma Heng frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be..." Ma Heng said half of the sentence, then shut up and swallowed the second half.
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Why are you so cautious, Uncle Chang? You were quite worried at that time, but the Hussar General later relieved you of your worries..."
"What did General Hussar say?" Ma Heng couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Liao looked into the distance. This was the place where the Han and Qiang people had fought for decades. For a long time, in the eyes of the Hu people, the Han territory had a large population and a lot of wealth. No matter how they fought, the Hu people always took advantage.
The survival of the Hu people can basically be maintained by fighting to support the war. On the contrary, if the Han army attacks the Hu people, there will be no such convenience. The desert is vast, uninhabited, and the winter is long. Even if the Han army robs the Hu people and their
Livestock, it is difficult for the Han army to occupy land and survive for a long time.
During the hundreds of years of the Han people, in this boundless desert, the Han Dynasty, the Huns, the Xianbei people, and some Qiang people spent their time fighting each other. The Han Dynasty seemed to have won, but
Also seems to fail.
The desert is still the domain of the Hu people. No matter how strong the Han Dynasty was, it ultimately failed to conquer the Hu people in the desert, let alone turn the desert into the territory of the Han country.
"General Hussar said..." Zhang Liao's eyes were dark, as if he was recalling the situation at that time, "Only relying on force can conquer for a while, but it is difficult to conquer for a lifetime... To defeat these barbarians, strong soldiers and horses are necessary, but also
You can't just rely on soldiers and horses...just like these weeds, the fire will only burn the things on the surface of the ground, but if their roots are damaged..."
"Targeting their cattle and sheep?" Ma Heng couldn't help but said, "Someone also mentioned this a few years ago..."
Zhang Liao laughed and said: "General Hussar has a universal mind and a lofty strategy. How can ordinary people compare with him? Bad cattle and sheep are just the ways of villains..." Zhang Liao wiped out the four words "Social System" on the ground with his foot.
After a while, "This is what General Hussar meant...Does Uncle Chang understand?"
"Hey..." Ma Heng swallowed, hesitated for a while, and said, "This... how to do this?"
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "How can I know? However, I believe... General Hussar can definitely do it..."
Ma Heng stroked his beard, nodded, and then said with emotion: "A certain person in Jingxiang often gathers to talk, prides himself on his strategies, and shows off his intelligence. Now it seems... you are just a frog in the well... Hussar is really...
... Ordinary people have exhausted their wits to plan a war. Those with amazing talents and knowledge can plan for a country, while generals can plan for the power of the world..." Ma Heng looked down at the blurred writing on the ground, "So'
The social system'... is really..."
……_(:3 ∠)_……
A gathering place for the Tibetan soldiers and horses.
In the heart of Fulti Xiboye, there was a wish and a plan. The Han Dynasty and the Qiang people from Xiliang had been fighting for thirty or forty years. From the perspective of Fulti Xibone, this was a very scary thing.
In Tibetan areas, there are almost a collection of various people, including the Qiang people, Xianbei people, and even the early Huns. Their ancestors lived in the desert. For various reasons, they took the initiative to
Or they passively left the place where they were nomadic and came to Tibetan areas. A large part of these reasons are related to the Han people, so these people inherently have a lot of grudges and hatred with the Han people...
Falcon Tisibonye understood that if the entire Tibetan area wanted to become stronger and be valued by the people around it, it would not dare to start a war easily. On the one hand, it must show the swords and guns in its hands to let the people around it know how powerful it is.
Otherwise, they are like fat meat. Cut off this one today and cut off a piece of that tomorrow. The Tibetan people will always be like loose sand. They will fall down as soon as they are pushed, and anyone can get on...
On the other hand, we also need to take this opportunity to bring different people together.
Falcon Tixiboye believes that among the Tibetan people, let alone the Qiang people who have been at war with the Han people for many years, there are also many descendants of the Huns and Xianbei people who have buried their hatred deep in their bones.
As long as there is a chance for their hatred to break out, these people will not let Xiang go.
Therefore, as long as these people are given a chance and as long as the weaknesses of the Han people are shown, these people will go crazy...
Moreover, the Tibetan people also needed excellent war horses from Longyou and Hexi to improve their breeds.
Whoever has a huge and powerful iron cavalry can dominate the desert. This is the unchanging truth in the desert for thousands of years.
Falcon Tisiboye also has war horses, but this war horse...
If the Han people were tyrannical, Falcon Tisi Boye would never have the guts to start a war, but since the Han people themselves were in chaos, they naturally could not miss such an opportunity. The Han people themselves were corrupt and the court was in chaos, so how could they still
Resist your own troops?
The Han general in the northwest is said to be very powerful, but no matter how powerful this Han general is, how powerful can he be in such a chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty? These Qiang people in Xiliang Longyou were defeated, but because
After fighting against the Han for thirty or forty years, he was already so weak that he could no longer fight. This Han general just took advantage of him.
The Han people are also interesting. I really don’t know what’s inside the heads of the Han people. When choosing their own emperor, they are willing to choose a younger one...
A child becomes the emperor, haha!
A weak leader with little power will only make the situation more chaotic. Just like Tibetan areas have not been able to express their voices for so many years, Tibetan areas need a king.
Falcon Tisibonye believed that this was his duty.
Those guys in Kushan probably thought they could use us to deal with the Han people, but actually... they didn't know that I was actually using them...
"Come here! Tell all the ministries! Speed up! In three days, we must gather together! Let's go out!"
