Duan Peng was originally from Xianbei. When Xu Wei enfeoffed the heroes, he and many generals from the Xianbei Xiongnu and other barbarians did not want the islands in the South China Sea as their country, but looked at the land in the Western Regions.
At this time, although the Western Region was under the rule of Daqian, there were not many Daqian people at all. There were only 5,000 Daqian soldiers guarding it. It can be said that the Western Region had no foundation in the hands of Daqian. Even because of Daqian's assimilation strategy, A large number of people from the Western Regions who yearned for Daqian and envied the life of Daqian immigrated from the Western Regions to Xiliang and became Daqian people.
For the sake of their own political achievements, local officials in Xiliang also recruited people from the Western Regions as common people under their rule. Under such circumstances, Daqian's ruling power in the Western Regions was gradually declining!
Faced with this situation, Daqian's rule in the Western Regions may collapse if he is not careful.
However, it was difficult for the imperial court to strengthen the power of the Western Regions in a short period of time. So after Xu Wei thought about it, he decided to entrust Duan Peng and other heroes to the Western Regions.
Then these heroes quickly annexed the native countries in the Western Regions and replaced them as local rulers!
Duan Peng occupied the Dawan Kingdom. He had an extremely large number of herdsmen, even more than farmers. Although he learned a lot of farming methods from Dagan Farming, Xu Wei also cultivated a large amount of land after occupying Dawan. Land. But the Western Region is naturally not suitable for farming.
Any Dawan horse sold in Jidu can earn millions of dollars, and if a legendary sweaty horse appears, it can be sold in Jidu for tens of millions of dollars. It can be said that Duan Peng sells a sweaty horse. The income from the blood horse is higher than the income from tens of thousands of acres of land in Dawan City.
Soon the local people discovered that the income from herding was far greater than that from farming. They could sell a few hundred BMWs to feed the people in the country. Under the inducement of such huge profits, he was willing to have more herdsmen than farmers, and there were a large number of herdsmen. Raising horses, the current Dawan country can be regarded as a half-agricultural and half-pastoral country! Almost all the people in Dawan are natural cavalry!
Duan Peng encountered Zhang Fei's surprise attack and suffered heavy losses in the early stage. However, after he reacted later, he immediately asked the herdsmen to form an exciting cavalry force of several thousand people. This cavalry force continued to harass Zhang Fei's army, making it difficult for Zhang Fei to Use all your strength to capture Dawan City.
And Zhang Fei didn't want to lose too many troops under Dawan City, because he knew that attacking Dawan City could only be regarded as an appetizer. When Thunder Lord came, the war would really begin. If his army were here in Dawan If the losses are heavy, it will easily have an adverse impact on the subsequent war. With such scruples, the battlefield will become stalemate.
In order to deal with the harassment of the Dawan cavalry, Zhang Fei assigned 10,000 cavalry troops to Huangfu Li, hoping that Huangfu Li would annihilate the cavalry, and then the two sides would merge and jointly attack the big shots.
It's a pity that Duan Peng and his men are almost all Xianbei, and they have an advantage over the cavalry in combat. Especially Duan Peng's men did not have direct contact with Zhang Fei's cavalry at all, but just kept harassing him. Zhang Fei's troops were insufficient, and for a while It took half a minute to find it difficult to break the deadlock.
Then Zhang Fei changed his mind and wanted to concentrate his forces to attack Dawan City first, and then deal with the Dawan cavalry around him.
But just as his artillery battalion opened fire, the artillery on Dawan City counterattacked violently. Soon the 30 artillery pieces in his hands were blown to pieces, and the artillerymen suffered heavy casualties. Zhang Fei's army could not even approach Dawan City despite the artillery fire from Dawan City. The city wall of Wancheng.
"Thunder Lord, you don't even want to go back to your hometown. There are hundreds of artillery pieces in Dawan City!" Zhang Fei said angrily.
This is an artillery piece. Each one costs hundreds of thousands. Lei Gong would actually place so many artillery pieces in Dawan. If there were so many artillery pieces in more than a dozen cities in the entire Western Region, Lei Gong wouldn't worry about these artillery being destroyed. The enemy gets it and becomes a weapon to attack Daqian!
Zhang Fei found that his army did not have as many artillery pieces as the enemy. If this battle continued, he would only inflict heavy losses on his army.
This is really Zhang Fei's overthinking. Because Dawan is the birthplace of the legendary sweat-blooded BMW, it has now become the cultivation center of the entire Daqian BMW. Duan Peng also made a fortune from these BMWs.
After Daqian unified the world, their weapons and equipment began to be upgraded. Many of the 10-pound cannons that were cast at that time had reached the age of retirement, and the maritime merchants looked down on such small cannons. They
I prefer giant cannons weighing 20 kilograms, 50 kilograms, or even 100 kilograms. After all, big cannons are better than small cannons at sea!
Under this situation, a large number of Daqian's 10-pound small cannons flowed into Liu Bei and the Western Regions in Tianzhu, and among them, Duan Peng was the princely state with the most cannons forever! This made Zhang Fei hit his head. Bag!
Zhang Fei could only send the battle report of Dawan City back to the rear and find a way to get Liu Bei to support him.
Zhang Fei's battle report was transferred to Liu Bei, and Pang Tong was helpless when he learned about it and said: "General Zhang is too benevolent. This battle to capture Dawan City is only a secondary task. The main task is to destroy the local farmland, pastures, grain and grass supplies." , making it difficult for Daqian, who is thousands of miles away, to receive material and personnel help from the Western Region, lengthening Lei Gong’s logistics supply line, and creating opportunities for our army to win!”
"Since the raid was unsuccessful, General Zhang should find a way to capture the civilians around Dawan City and destroy the local farmland and villages. Even if the surrounding area of Dawan City is turned into a white field, Thunder God cannot leave a single weed!"
"Well, well!" Liu Bei immediately looked unhappy when he heard this. Although the strategy was right, the words were too ugly!
Ma Liang next to him said: "Shi Yuan, we sent troops to save the people and secure the country. The people of Dawan are originally from the Guishang Kingdom. They were captured by Duan Peng and others and became slaves in Dawan. Now we want to save them and let them return to Dawan. Family, this is an act of justice!"
These words are similar to Pang Tong's, but the meaning is completely different, and they are more acceptable to Liu Bei!
Guan Yu on the side thought for a while and said: "Brother, I will lead an army of 30,000 to support Yide!"
Pang Tong immediately said: "The war in Dawan has reached a stalemate. Even if the general supports us, it will not change much. Our troops cannot lose too much in the Western Region. The general should immediately lead the army to attack the Wusun Kingdom and find a way. Save all the people of Wusun and bring them back to the Han Dynasty!"
For Pang Tong, it would be best if the Western Regions could be conquered, but if they could not be conquered, finding ways to destroy local agricultural production would be enough to achieve the goal.
After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "My second brother will lead an army of 30,000 to attack the Wusun Kingdom, and my brother will lead the main force to support Yide!"
Although Liu Bei was a bit benevolent, his kindness was towards the people of the Han Dynasty. After he came to Tianzhu, he was towards the people of Tianzhu who supported him. The people of the Western Regions were neither the people of the Han Dynasty nor the people of Tianzhu under his rule.
He will not be too kind to these enemies. The most he can do is to prevent himself from killing more!
