Within three days, the barbarians swept through Yuyang.
Perhaps in the early days of his tenure as Protector, Zhao Yun would not have said such words...
In Zhao Yun's Chinese army tent, there is a map of Yuyang.
On this map, in addition to the original red and black logos, there is also some information marked with ocher yellow stone powder, which is the latest change in Yuyang.
"There were nearly ten thousand soldiers in Youzhou, mainly Yuyang, who ruled half of it and the rest." Zhao Yun pointed at the map and said, "Later Cao Zihe recruited soldiers and civilians from Jizhou County to fill Youzhou..."
Zhao Yun said, tapping his finger on the map.
The news about Youbei, which may not even be known to Youzhou itself, is documented in Changshan.
In order to prepare for the war with Changshan, Cao Chun must have mobilized some personnel and materials, so it was inevitable that some news would reach Changshan, but later Cao Chun also discovered this, so he made some corresponding strategies, so that
Chang Shan's eyeliner also suffered certain losses.
Zhao Yun calmly looked at the Yuyang logo on the map, his expression was calm, but his heart was complicated.
After Cao Chun took over Youzhou, he began to build various defensive fortifications in Yuyang. Perhaps it was really to build a line of defense in Youzhou, or it was to reduce the material and manpower of Jizhou guys, anyway, no matter the cost
The large-scale civil engineering work indeed built a mutually dependent defense system of military villages and cities along Yanshan Mountain.
"Our army has spies in Yuyang Youzhou, and Cao Jun must have spies in the northern part of Guanzhong..." Zhao Yun paused, wondering if he thought of Xia Houshang, "These spies observe our reactions and then report back to us."
According to Cao Jun, if I dare not send troops, or if there is chaos and chaos, Cao Jun can safely and boldly march to Changshan and then attack Yinshan."
Zhang He nodded and said: "What the Protector said is true. In addition, Cao Jun does not want the tribes in the desert to return to us, so we will fight for them... The Su Li people have always been wavering, fearing both Cao Jun and our army."
Although Zhao Yun didn't like this political method very much, he had to learn and use it.
Zhao Yun was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "It is difficult for this Mobei nomad to win over. Without education, even if he falls in love with us now, when Cao's army becomes stronger, he will fall back again... Don't do it because of this."
At present, Su Li and others act in a humble manner and believe in it. But they must not give up their hopes. The slaughter will be too much and resentment will arise..."
Zhang He nodded silently.
Zhao Yun nodded at Yuyang, "In addition... Yuyang is in the far north, and the military garrison is so prosperous that it is quite militaristic. As a result, more than half of the local grain and grass utensils depend on Jizhou for supplies. And the land of Jizhou and Yuzhou can provide Youzhou."
When? Two harvests a year, the real estate is eventually limited. If its reserves of grain, wages, weapons and equipment are destroyed, will Jizhou be willing to build Youbei again? If Youbei is shaken, it should have the effect of besieging Wei."
Zhang He suddenly understood.
Only then did he understand why Zhao Yun did not want the land in Yuyang, but arranged a military operation against Yuyang.
Because fighting without occupying is meaningless according to Zhang He's previous concept.
But now when Zhang He raised his sights to a higher level, he realized that Yuyang was not only Yuyang in Youzhou, but also Jizhou, or the defense center to the north of Cao Jun. When these defensive fortifications were After the destruction, will Cao Jun choose to give up?
No, Cao Jun will definitely need to rebuild, but where will the materials needed for rebuilding come from?
Zhao Yun looked at the map and sighed slightly, "My lord, I feel that it is not easy to confer the Yunbei Territory. I am afraid of disappointing the high expectations. Now there is a good opportunity to quell the dangers of the desert. I really can't miss it. But the people of Youbei..."
"My lord has great talents and great strategies, he has taught the eight deserts, and he has a loyal and diligent guardian who is powerful in the desert. This problem will definitely be avoided, which will be a blessing to the Chinese nation." Zhang He raised his hands and said, "Cao's army sat down in the well and looked at the sky, unaware of the changes in the world. It is a pity. It’s a pity. Only the Lord can rule the world with justice, and this continuous suffering can be eradicated.”
Zhao Yun nodded, and then asked: "If Jun Yi leads his troops forward, where should they come from?"
Around Yuyang City, in addition to Gubeikou, there are also Gaolingzhai, Old Stone City, New City, etc. In addition, there are several military nodes, all of which are defended by military forts or small towns, creating a deep front and back and left and right sides. Restricted pockets…
"The Protector, I think we should focus on Gubeikou. This road is passable all year round and can be used for transporting mules and horses. It is more labor-saving than other mountain roads." Zhang He gestured, "If you want Gubeikou to be safe, you must overcome it." Gaolingzhai and Old Stone City were set up to ensure the safety of the two wings, and additional troops were set up to hold the new city hostage to make the mountain roads smooth.』
Zhao Yun praised: "Jun Yi really knows this."
But before Zhang He could be humble, Zhao Yun clicked on another place, "But, there is another place..."
…
…
In the mountain roads of Gubeikou, barbarians were marching everywhere, creating a huge mess.
These Hu people include Xianbei people, Rouran people, and Jiankun people. Although their costumes are slightly different, they all share the same beautiful longing for plundering Yuyang.
Just like the old black guy who is ready to buy for zero yuan in future generations.
Hu people have never felt that there is anything wrong with zero-yuan purchases. The only thing that is wrong is the amount of gain.
If at this time, some Shandong people stand up and explain some truth to these Hu people who are preparing to participate in zero-yuan purchases, and express their contempt and condemnation for zero-yuan purchases, guess what will happen?
Everyone has the dream of getting rich. Perhaps for these barbarians, buying for zero yuan is like buying lottery tickets. They are cheap, but full of colorful bubbles that make you rich overnight. They are colorful and eye-catching.
Don’t those who buy lottery tickets know what a lottery ticket is? I think many people know it. It is just a helpless hope, a comfort medicine, and a palliative in reality.
The key is, it's cheap enough.
Buying for zero yuan is also cheap, cheap energy, and cheap life.
All Hu people do not regard their lives as precious things. If they can die by themselves and get a lot of things for their families and clansmen, they will die without hesitation. This is their moral concept. The customs and habits are completely inconsistent with the principles of Shandong people.
The young Hu people gathered around the elders to listen to them teach them what the most valuable things were, so as to avoid the embarrassment of going to Han Dynasty only to come back with a bundle of urala grass.
Some barbarians nervously counted their equipment over and over again, and then touched the knives and arrows on their bodies again and again.
There were also some barbarians chatting and laughing loudly with each other, or showing off scars from the past, or where they got what items, how precious they were, how many cattle and sheep were exchanged for them, etc...
From the high places on both sides of the mountain road, the leader of the Hu people smiled and looked at Erlang who was walking by at his feet.
No one thinks there is anything wrong, because this is the life of the Hu people.
Therefore, if you want to change the mindset of the Hu people, you need to change their lives first.
History has proven that standing on a high place and talking like the Shandong people with their arms akimbo can never change the ideas of the Hu people, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the subsequent feudal dynasties...
These barbarians rushed to Yuyang happily, thinking that this time was no different from the previous ones, but they had no idea that something was quietly changing.
Free ones are often the most expensive ones.
…
…
Zhang He led a group of troops across the Qinghe River. He did not participate in the attacks or plundering around Yuyang, but went straight to another passage pointed out by Zhao Yun.
Juyong Mountain Road.
Changshan New City is not in the original Changshan County of the Han Dynasty. This is just like many people in the Han Dynasty who have received the Marquis of a certain place from afar. It is an attitude towards a certain place, or a kind of commemoration.
Down from Yuyang is Ji County, which is the core area of the entire Youzhou. Once the Yuyang defense line is breached, not only the core of Youzhou will be threatened, but also the northern area of Jizhou will be affected.
Therefore, before winning, we must first consider how to retreat. Zhao Yun ensured the smooth flow of Gubeikou, and the other road was a backup direction, which was the Juyong Pass Road.
Liu Yu died in Juyong City.
Liu Yu once thought he could subdue Gongsun Zan with his words...
It's like people from Shandong feel they can tell the Tao of Confucius and Mencius to barbarians.
It is not impossible to speak the truth, but when to speak is very important. Just like most Shandong people, anyone who has read a little scripture can generally understand the two-handled way, but they don’t know how to use it.
.
Zhang He looked back and saw that the mountains were as long as black clouds.
Perhaps at this time, large troops of Hu people were already destroying and looting around Yuyang.
To be honest, Zhang He didn't know what kind of mood he should be in. He could also feel that Zhao Yun's heart was also full of contradictions. However, Zhang He agreed with Zhao Yun's strategy. Changing the Hu people was not something that could be done overnight, so he had to first get along with it.
Its power is better to block than to block it, to kill people with a borrowed knife, to weaken its body and to exhaust its bones and muscles, then it can be subdued...
Trade is just the reins that will be put on later.
