Chapter 194, the change of the Xianbei people, the predicament of the Fujijia Army
Yang Feng said: "It's just that after Zhao'an, how can our safety be guaranteed? I don't trust the noble families and officials in Jizhou!"
Zhang Yan said: "I don't believe them either, so Liu Bei's suggestion was that we go to Liaodong to farm. I remember that the commander-in-chief wanted to occupy the land of Youzhou, stay away from the Han's heartland, and avoid becoming the first target of the Han's attack.
The commander-in-chief failed, and we are still in the Taihang Mountains."
"But it is not without successful examples. Look at Lei Gong. He also occupied the fertile Wei County at the beginning, but he did not miss the wealth of Wei County. He fought 2,000 miles and fled to Mayi, and then settled down! The development of the Tengjia Army
Everyone can also see that in the next few years, they did not suffer any attack from the Han Dynasty, and developed more and more powerfully in Mayi, and now the entire Bingzhou is occupied by them."
"Although we have never left Jizhou, we have been repeatedly attacked by the Han army and have been unable to develop and grow. Now we are not even comparable to the original Tengjia Army. Isn't this something we should think about?"
"And when we go to Liaodong to farm, the mountains in Liaodong are high and the emperor is far away, so the Han army will not be able to attack us first, so that we can recuperate and grow stronger!"
"Commander, if you want to colonize Liaodong, what will you do if the court regrets it?
Our journey to Liaodong is all plains. What if we bring millions of people and Liu Bei's 30,000 cavalry attack us? Do you want to send everyone's relatives under Liu Bei's iron heel?" Wulu didn't believe anything.
Officials of the imperial court, including the well-known Liu Bei!
In his opinion, Zhang Yan's plan simply doesn't work. Is it true that if you stay away from Jizhou, you won't have to suffer any more attacks from the Han Dynasty?
How did these millions of tribesmen get to Liaodong?
How to survive in Liaodong?
The people around Liaodong are either Xianbei or Wuwan people. Could it be that they are easier to deal with than the Han army?
As long as one of these steps is wrong, their entire army may be annihilated. This is simply a joke on the lives of millions of Yellow Turban Army members!
"Yes, Marshal! Even if Liu Bei has a good reputation, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is a murderous butcher. If Gongsun Zan raids us with his cavalry, what can we do to resist?"
"Liu Bei is just a general of the Han Dynasty. How can he control the officials of the Han Dynasty who have traveled thousands of miles?"
"If the nobles from Jizhou attack us on the road again, can Liu Bei kill these nobles?
"It's impossible. We'll be dead ends if we go to Liaodong!"
"That's right! Weijun is so good. Anyway, I won't go to Liaodong, a cold and miserable place. If the commander really doesn't want Weijun, then the commander will go to Liaodong by himself, and I will take my people to stay in Weijun!"
Zhang Yan could only smile bitterly, he thought too simply.
It is true that under the threat of the Han army, he took millions of people to Liaodong. He really entrusted his life and property to the Han court. It was related to the property and life of millions of people. He really did not believe in the promise of the Han court.
And his generals did not believe in the Han Dynasty at all, and they were not willing to go to the cold and miserable Liaodong area, they just wanted to stay in the colorful world of Wei County!
But they didn't want to think that the imperial court would let them continue to stay in Wei County, and Liu Bei would let them continue to stay in Wei County!
Zhang Yan shook her head helplessly and said: "If everyone is not willing to Zhao'an, then we must be prepared for a deadly battle. The Han Dynasty will not let us occupy Wei County like this! Liu Bei's army will definitely fight with us
A battle!”
Wang Dang said excitedly: "Let's fight. We want the court to know that the Yellow Turban Army is no longer the Yellow Turban Army of the past. Our 300,000-strong army is not a vegetarian!"
"Yes, we have a large number of people now. Why should we be afraid of the Han army? We not only want to occupy Wei County, but also the entire Jizhou! The Huangtian Era of the great sages and good teachers will be realized in our hands!"
Yang Feng saw that Commander Qu who was present was so excited, and persuaded him: "Since we have decided to fight the Han army, we must prepare weapons and equipment. We only have 40,000 people with armors now, and everyone else is wearing
The simple rattan armor has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of our Yellow Turban Army. We must purchase another 60,000 sets of ceramic armor, so that we will have 100,000 armored soldiers, enough to fight the Han army!"
Zhang Yan asked Sun Qingdao: "Can Lei Gong come up with 60,000 sets of armor?"
Now the weapons and equipment of the Yellow Turban Army basically rely on Mayi. However, their previous 40,000 sets of armor took almost 2 years to accumulate. Now they need another 60,000 sets. He is worried that Lei Gong will not be able to get them, which will affect the subsequent battles.
!
Sun Qing said with a smile: "Lei Gong is short of food now. It is said that they are rationing it every day. The food the soldiers eat is only half of ours. As long as we exchange it for food, even if Lei Gong does not have weapons and equipment in his arsenal, he will let the soldiers escape."
Get off your armor and exchange food with us!"
Yang Feng worriedly said: "Thunder Lord is so short of food, won't the price of the weapons sold to us increase?"
Originally, the Yellow Turban Army purchased weapons and armor from Mayi, which basically cost 30,000 yuan for a set of ceramic armor and 15,000 yuan for a hundred-forged steel knife. The Yellow Turban Army quickly spent all the gold and silver jewelry they grabbed, and then Xu
Wei priced them at 100 shi of grain for a set of ceramic armor, and 50 shi of grain for a hundred-refined sword. Zhang Yan's tens of millions of shi of grain were drained dry because of this.
According to this price, it would cost the Yellow Turban Army 9 million shi of grain to arm 60,000 soldiers. The Yellow Turban Army's 15 million shi grain reserve can still pay for it. After all, if Wei County cannot be saved, the food they leave will not be of much use, but if Xu
It would be hard to say if Wei raises the price.
Sun Qing said: "Don't just think about the price increase of this weapon, don't forget that the price of food is also rising now, and Lei Gongqu is so handsome, he will not take advantage of it at this time!"
Sun Qing was indeed right, what he wanted now was food, and when a huge order of 9 million dan came down, he was dizzy.
guxuan
This food is enough to feed the tribesmen in Bingzhou for a month and a half, so there is no mention of raising prices at all. He even has to worry about Sun Qing raising prices. After all, according to Xu Wei's custom, the larger the order, the higher the price.
The lower it is.
Fortunately, Sun Qing was also worried about Xu Wei's price increase. Both parties had concerns. No one mentioned this and purchased at the original price.
Of course, Xu Wei tried his best to satisfy this big customer. After plundering the entire Mayi arsenal, he found that there was not much inventory. Xu Wei directly asked the soldiers from Taiyuan County and Xihe County to take off their armor and handed them directly to Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban
The army even gave 20 pairs of armor to Sun Qing and Zhang Yan and promoted the benefits of armor to them!
But when Sun Qing saw that a set of armor cost as much as 500 shi of food, he decisively took the armor sent by Xu Wei, but did not mention the purchase at all. Even the Yellow Turban Army could not afford such a high price!
Naturally, Zhang Yan's actions were quickly noticed by Liu Bei. After all, this was a transfer of 9 million stones of food, which could not be hidden at all. A large number of weapons and armors from the Tengjia Army entered the Yellow Turban Army. Obviously Zhang Yan wanted to fight him!
He could only say to Guan Zhang and others with a wry smile: "Everyone, organize the army. We will completely annihilate Zhang Yan's tribe this winter and restore stability to the entire Jizhou!"
Guan Yu said seriously: "Brother, this is not only a battle between us and Zhang Yan, we also have to face the Tengjia Army directly. It is impossible for them to watch us defeat Zhang Yan. If they come out of Jingjing Pass, eldest brother has thought about how to deal with Lei Gong.
?”
Jian Yong said: "Xuande, you have to report to the court and ask Dong Zhuo in Shangdang County and the Youzhou border army to mobilize to contain the Tengjia Army. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to completely annihilate the Yellow Turban Army, and even
If one of them is not good, maybe we will all be defeated by the Yellow Turban Army and the Tengjia Army! After all, their combined strength exceeds 500,000!"
Jian Yong felt that his head was getting big now when he thought about facing such a huge army, which must be elite and elite, and numerous. If such a torrent rushed to Jizhou, not only would they be overwhelmed, but even the entire army would be overwhelmed.
Even a big man might be overwhelmed!
Liu Bei said solemnly: "I will report to the imperial court and ask the imperial army from other directions to contain the Tengjia Army! Yun Chang, you and your 20,000 troops are stationed at Jingjing Pass to block the Tengjia Army's passage into Jizhou and fight for our elimination.
Zhang Yanbu’s time!”
Guan Yu said seriously: "As long as I am still alive, I will definitely not let anyone from the Tengjia Army enter Jizhou!"
Jian Yong worriedly said: "Zhang Yan's tribe already has 300,000 people. We have to divide our troops. I'm afraid this will weaken our strength and make it more difficult for us to annihilate Zhang Yan's tribe!"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said: "Brother, you have forgotten that there is a large army in Jizhou, which is the private soldiers of Jizhou's clans. Their total number should be 50,000 to 60,000, and in recent years, Jizhou's clansmen and clans have been
Zhang Yan and the others are causing a lot of harm. The private soldiers of these noble families are not much worse than our elites. It will be much easier to gather them together to deal with Zhang Yan's tribe!"
Jian Yong suddenly realized and said happily: "Yide is so wise and stupid. I didn't even think of this army. The private soldiers of Xuande Jizhou clan are well-equipped and powerful in combat. Moreover, they have a blood feud with Zhang Yan. They will definitely be willing to work with us to deal with Zhang Yan."
Yan’s!”
Liu Bei said: "Time is pressing, I will summon them now!"
The autumn harvest is over, and it will start snowing in Jizhou in at most a month, leaving them little time to fight!
Liu Bei then requested support from the imperial court, and at the same time contacted all the noble families in Jizhou and asked their soldiers to join Jizhou County to jointly deal with Zhang Yan.
As expected, the nobles and nobles in Jizhou were willing to join Liu Bei's army when they heard that they could deal with Zhang Yan. Many of them even brought their own dry food! These noble nobles wanted to completely wipe out Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army and let these rebellious mud-legs
You know whose world Jizhou belongs to.
At this time, news that was beneficial to Liu Bei came from Bingzhou. The Xianbei people from the north went south again, attacked the thousands-mile defense line of Tengjia Army, killed more than 20,000 of Lei Gong's subordinates, and robbed tens of thousands of stones of grain and several tens of thousands of grains.
Thousands of cattle and sheep! Now Lei Gong and his army have gone to Mayi, sharpening their swords and preparing to deal with the Xianbei people!
When Liu Bei heard the news, he was overjoyed and said: "This is really a God-sent opportunity! Zhang Yan is definitely dead this time!"
Don't worry about the Thunder Lord coming to cause trouble. Liu Bei is now setting off from Wei County with his 140,000 troops!
Not to be outdone, Zhang Yan led her 300,000-strong army to wait for Liu Bei to fight!
Xu Wei, who was in Mayi at this time, was extremely angry. He thought he had conquered the Xianbei people, but he did not expect that the Xianbei people would dare to come to Bingzhou to harvest grass and valleys. Suddenly, the three counties of Shuofang became more powerful.
With a population of over one million, even though the army was four times larger, the Xianbei people still seized the opportunity and robbed a lot of things!
Mayi! General Staff, Meeting Hall!
Most of the top military officials of the Tengjia Army are here, and Wang Laohan and other senior internal affairs officials are staying in Taiyuan County. After all, compared with Mayi, the geographical environment of Taiyuan County is much better. In the future, the center of the Tengjia Army will gradually relocate.
Come to Taiyuan County!
Xu Wei stood in front of the huge Mayi sand table and asked: "Have you found out, are those tribes of Xianbei people here to stroke the beards of our Tengjia Army?"
Wang Ge immediately replied: "It's Tuoba Mo, Luo Luo Bupo, Murong Peng, these big tribal leaders in the west and central part. They led 50,000 Xianbei soldiers to fight guerrillas with us on thousands of miles of fronts in Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong counties.
, the population in these three counties has increased too much, and we can’t defend them, so we let them break through the defense line!”
"Tuoba Mo, Luo Luo Bu Po, Murong Peng!" Xu Wei sneered: "These are old friends. It seems that if we can't find a way to kill them, it will be difficult for us to develop steadily! What's going on with Wang Lei and the others?"
Wang Ge said: "Brother Lei and others started to lead the cavalry into the desert to fight back against the Xianbei people, but the effect was not obvious. Our cavalry went thousands of miles into the desert, but still did not find the Xianbei tribe. Later, we learned about the Xianbei people through Hu Shang.
Learn this lesson, and before launching an attack, first place the herdsmen in the pastures near Beihai. The place where these herdsmen are staying is far beyond the scope of our attack, and we can't attack them at all!"
"The weather on the grassland is already very cold now. It will snow in a few days. We will have to retreat by then! This time the Xianbei people calculated very cleverly. They can be said to have hit us within seven inches! If they had
We will use this kind of tactics from now on, and there is nothing we can do against them! Only by learning the tactics of the Communist Party, fattening up the war horses, and then marching thousands of miles across the desert can we completely defeat the Xianbei people."
But when it came to this, Wang Ge smiled bitterly and said: "But Emperor Wu has the rich and wealthy Han Dynasty to rely on. He can use such attrition tactics to fight the Huns head-on. But our Tengjia Army is really a beggar compared with Emperor Wu. We have to use this
Using this tactic, all of our war horses will die, tens of thousands of our elite soldiers will die, millions of our troops will starve to death, all our money and food will be used up, and we will lose the ability to attack the big Han within a few years!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, if the Xianbei people use such tactics in the future, our Tengjia Army will be in big trouble. Before we deal with the Xianbei people, we have no way to attack the Han Dynasty. We even have to find ways to defend against the Han Dynasty's attack.
