After the beginning of spring, the temperature rises quickly.
While Guan Ji could still move and was not too heavy to move, Feng Yong decided to have someone escort her back to Pingxiang.
After all, Shouyang is at the forefront of what the Han Dynasty can control.
Although I am not afraid of Qiang Hu, safety comes first.
Guan Ji knew that staying in Shouyang would not be of much help, but would make Feng Yong worry, so she did not object to Feng Yong's arrangement.
After Guan Ji left, Feng Yong began to make full preparations to quell the Qiang rebellion in Longxi.
First, let Jufu send sentry cavalry to investigate the situation in the west and be prepared to cross the Tao River at any time.
If you don't want to take Didao from Shouyang to Pouhan, you can cross the Tao River from Zhongti County south of Didao, pass through Daxia County, and then reach Pouhan.
What Jufu needs to do now is to find out as soon as possible how to take their retreat without alerting Didao Qiang and Hu.
Then he informed Gao Xiang of Nan'an and confirmed that there was no movement from the Wei army in Yuzhong, Liangzhou. He then sent people to Jicheng to tell Mr. Zhao about his plan.
Then he ordered Pingxiang to protect the 2,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry belonging to the Qiang captain to march towards Longxi.
At the same time, another order was issued to conquer the Hu, and three thousand Hu cavalry were recruited as reserves.
Although Liu Hun had been promoted, he had personally organized Pingxiang's two thousand cavalry. Feng Yong had no choice but to ask Mr. Zhao for rescue and temporarily seconded him.
Fortunately, Feng Zhao's family does not speak the same language, and Mr. Zhao is still very reasonable.
The climate in Tianshui has warmed up faster than in Longxi, and the Dongfeng Express transportation team finally appeared on the land of Longyou again.
After holding back for a whole winter, the food restrictions were lifted. As military orders were issued from Shouyang one after another, the entire Longyou began to become restless.
Feng Junhou is gearing up and preparing for a big fight to give today's spring a good start.
He was even in the mood to warm a pot of mead, holding the wine pot, standing on the gate of Shouyang City, looking to the west, his eyes shining, full of passion, and preparing to compose a poem.
"The wind is blowing..."
wrong.
"The wind is rustling..."
This is even more wrong.
While Feng Yong was thinking hard, footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
He turned around and saw Gongsun Zheng and Li Jian coming hand in hand.
"Isn't it great to have friends come from far away?"
Feng Yong responded to the situation and said with a smile, "Bo Yan and Shu Rui are here, but what good news is there?"
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zheng's first sentence was: "Your Majesty, it's not good! There is a situation over there at Didao!"
Feng Yong was startled, "What's going on? Did something go wrong with Didao?"
Although Li Jianming secretly urged several times to get the Han army in Shouyang to send troops as soon as possible, Feng Yong declined on the grounds that it was difficult to march in winter.
Because from what he learned, the Qiang and Hu were not good at attacking cities. In addition, due to the severe cold in winter, they could only besiege but not attack.
On Didao's side, it's not a problem to hold on for another two months.
Seeing Gongsun Zheng's expression now, Feng Yong couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
If he miscalculated and Didao accidentally fell, the situation in Longxi would be out of control.
I don’t know if he will follow in Zhao Guang’s footsteps, but he will definitely be hung up and beaten by Mr. Zhao.
It's hard to believe that after Mr. Zhao finished whipping him, Old Demon Zhuge would whip himself again.
"There is no problem with Didao, but there is a problem with the Qiang and Hu."
Gongsun Zheng said urgently, "Some of the Qiang and Hu who besieged Didao broke up and fled to the west."
Feng Yong blinked and didn't understand for a moment, so he subconsciously said: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Gongsun Zheng said urgently: "It seems to be a good thing, but in the long run, it may not be a good thing for Longxi! Junhou, our plan to encircle and annihilate the Qiang and Hu and pacify Longxi may not be realized."
"More importantly, I heard that the Qiang and Hu fled to the west because something went wrong over there."
"Pu Han?" Feng Yong suddenly woke up, "Pu Han? What can go wrong?"
That's my little treasury!
"Could it be that Cao Cao's thieves took the opportunity to send troops from Xiping?"
Feng Yong immediately thought of this greatest possibility.
Gongsun Zheng shook his head and pushed Li Jian out: "This official has just received the news. It was Li Langjun who said it himself."
Feng Yong looked at Li Jian.
"Going back to Junhou, according to the news we got from the Li family, it is not the Cao thieves who have sent troops to Wuhan. I heard that there is another group of Hu people coming from the southwest."
"They took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qiang and Hu forces in Pouhan was far away in Didao and plundered many tribes. So the Qiang and Hu who besieged Didao got the news and began to return to Pouhan."
As soon as Li Jian finished speaking, Feng Tubao's eyes suddenly turned into dead fish eyes.
Probably because he was used to smooth sailing, Feng Tibi couldn't react for a long time: Was he being cut off by a barbarian?
After a long while, his eyes moved blankly, and then he suddenly jumped up and cursed.
"Who did this? Dare to rob my cattle and sheep?"
Gongsun Zheng:......
Li Jian:???
Feng Yong ignored them and just gritted his teeth: "Barbarians? Where did so many barbarians come from? What happened to the barbarians in the southwest?"
Dare to take advantage of others?
Don't ask me what my name is?
When did barbarians dare to steal food from the ghost king's mouth?
Really tired of living!
Feng Yong was breathing heavily from his nose, and his face was ferocious with the anger of losing money.
Li Jian didn't expect Feng Yong's reaction to be so strong, and stuttered: "Hui, Hui Junhou, I'm not sure about this."
Gongsun Zheng did not feel the heartache of being robbed of a large number of cattle and sheep, and remained calm.
I saw him say: "Your Majesty, these barbarians are robbing Wuhan. Is it possible that the Cao thieves are instigating it?"
"Yes! It's possible." After being reminded like this, Feng Yong was almost sure, "Hao Zhaofei is a kind person, so it's impossible to say that this kind of poisonous plan was made by him."
If it was really him who did this, this guy would be even more ruthless than Xiao Wenhe.
The wind in the city was strong, and a gust of cold wind blew over, which made Feng Yong clearer. He took another sip of wine and forced himself to calm down.
Then the mind starts spinning wildly.
If you were Hao Zhao, how should you deal with the current situation?
Liangzhou did not have enough troops and did not want to wait to be captured, so it must find a way to borrow the power of the barbarians.
If the Longxi Qiang and Hu rebel, then let the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu send troops to go around from the southwest and sneak attack the rear.
In this way, not only did Liangzhou Qiang and Hu rob his own small treasury, but Liangzhou did not need to send a single soldier to save Didao.
Moreover, if the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu were promised in advance to let them take everything from Pouhan, it would not mean that Liangzhou would not even have to provide food and grass - Pouhan was an abandoned place anyway.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong suddenly turned around: "Let's go back to the meeting hall."
In the meeting hall, there is a huge map hanging, and under the map, there is a huge sand table, which is a standard feature.
The four counties of Longyou originally belonged to Liangzhou, but were divided into Yongzhou by Cao Wei a few years ago.
The reason is very simple. The Qiang and Hu rebellion in Liangzhou is really too troublesome.
The separation of Longyou from Liangzhou is the same as the separation of Hanzhong from Shu in later generations.
What I'm afraid of is that someone will take Longshan and fight against Guandong.
It is precisely because Longyou used to belong to Liangzhou that the map and sand table in front of Feng Yong are not based on imagination.
Although the specific locations of the seven counties in Liangzhou may not be very accurate, at least we can know their approximate locations.
Important cities, passes, and main roads can be roughly marked, but that's barely enough.
Longxi is far west enough, and the west of Longxi is basically considered to have entered the scope of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in later generations.
Hundreds of years later, the area around Panhan would become a strategic location that both Tang and Tibet would fight for.
It is said that Tubo would not appear until hundreds of years later. Now the people living in the high mountains to the west of Longxi are the other branch of the Western Qiang, the Fa Qiang.
But it was definitely not them who disrupted their plans this time.
Let alone whether Cao Wei could contact them, even if he could, the plateau was in the primitive serf era, and tribes of various sizes were scattered in every corner of the plateau.
Who really wants to have such great appeal, such strong organization, and such high acumen.
How could I seize such a good opportunity in the cold weather and burst the anus of Wuhan Qiang Hu?
Then, Tubo would not have officially established itself a few hundred years later.
"Excluding the Faqiang in the high mountains to the west of Longxi, if this Hu people are really ordered by Cao Cao in Liangzhou, they are most likely to go south from Xiping County."
"Then cross the river and attack Wuhan directly." Feng Yong pointed at Xiping County, which is separated from the Yellow River in the far west of Longxi, "even cross the river from Heguan."
Gongsun Zheng reminded: "Your Majesty, according to the news from the Li family, this barbarian people came from the southwest, and they are more powerful than the Qiang and Hu people. They are an elite cavalry army."
Heguan is to the north of Wuhan, although it is slightly to the west, it can barely be regarded as the northwest, and it is completely different from the southwest.
"So where did they come from?"
Feng Yong was a little annoyed.
Could it be that Lao Tzu's time travel caused a butterfly effect in history, and Tubo would rise hundreds of years in advance? Otherwise there is no way to explain it!
"Your Majesty, no matter where they come from, anyone who dares to hinder the Han from opening the passage between Longxi and Liangzhou will be destroyed."
Jufu's idea was much simpler, "When the Han army comes, who dares to stop it?"
"Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy!"
Feng Yong said something that no one could understand, "Who knows if this is a trick of the Cao thieves in Liangzhou? Although we are not afraid of rebelling against the Qiang, we must be careful of the Cao thieves."
The cold weather in winter makes reconnaissance inconvenient, and insufficient intelligence makes analysis and judgment difficult.
Feng Yong rubbed his forehead and ordered: "Bo Yan, take the staff and formulate a new battle plan as soon as possible, and let me review it."
"promise!"
Gongsun Zheng replied quickly.
"General Ju, send more sentries and try your best to find out the situation around Didao. Also, ask Liu Hun and Huo Yi to speed up their march."
There was no telling how much cattle and sheep had been lost, and there were signs that the labor force was about to escape, which made Feng Tubol feel a little angry.
If you want to cut off your beard, just cut off the beard and drink the soup. You have to keep this meat for me, right?
As the weather gets warmer, Hao Zhao's illness finally improves.
Although I still can't get out of bed, I can barely sit up.
Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, opened the door and came in. Seeing that Hao Zhao was in good spirits, he immediately said happily: "Bo Dao, it seems that the medical skills of Korean medical workers are really superb."
"It seems that in a few days, you will be able to stay and walk." Xu Miao stood in front of the couch, looked at his face carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You really scared me a few days ago. .”
Hao Zhao nodded, "I thought I couldn't pass this test, but I didn't expect that I could survive it."
He looked at Xu Miao and said, "It's a waste that I have stayed in Hexi for so many years, but I have never heard of the name of Korean medical workers, but it was the Ming Gong who found such a skilled medical worker."
Xu Miao took a hut and sat in front of the couch, waving his hand: "This is Bo Dao, you should not die. I didn't find the Korean medical worker, I came to him myself."
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Hao Zhao asked in surprise.
"It's a bit of a coincidence. Bo Dao remembers the bald part?"
Xu Miao asked.
"Of course I remember that this tribe usually grazes on the edge of the West Sea."
Xu Miao nodded: "It's good if Bo Dao remembers it. A few days ago, a group of people came from the east and presented ten northern beads to the Governor's Mansion. The smallest one is also the "Eight Treasures", which is extremely rare."
"This group of about a hundred people claims to be the remnants of the Tufa Tribe and is here to look for the Tufa Tribe's own clan. I know that the Tufa Tribe is a large tribe in the West Sea and has repeatedly sent troops to assist Bo Dao in quelling the rebellion."
"So I didn't embarrass them. I even talked with them in detail, and then I discovered that there was a doctor among them, who was regarded as a god by those people."
"Every word must be respectful, and every action must be respectful. Therefore, out of curiosity, I specifically talked to the doctor. I found that his conversation was very extraordinary, so I thought about it and asked him to treat you."
"I originally thought of giving it a try, but I didn't expect to be able to pull you back from the hell. I'm so lucky, so lucky!"
When Xu Miao said this, he looked very happy.
When Hao Zhao heard this, he sighed: "What a blessing!"
Then he looked at Xu Miao gratefully and said, "Ming Gong will be loyal to Qiang and Hu in the future, and he will be benevolent and righteous in a state. Not only will he benefit the people of Liangzhou, but even a certain person will be favored by Ming Gong."
Xu Miao smiled slightly and said modestly: "As the governor of a state, I work for the emperor and herdsmen. I am benevolent and righteous and make the people return to their hearts. This is the foundation of governance. How can I talk about kindness?"
"This doctor from the Bald Hair Division cured Bo Dao's disease, but he didn't want my gift. He only said that he wanted to join his clan as soon as possible. He is also a rare righteous man."
Hao Zhao nodded: "In that case, I have to thank him very much. However, in spring, the bald tribe will begin to nomadically move to the west. This should be made clear to them, so as not to waste their time."
Xu Miao chuckled: "Bo Dao didn't know something. The Bald Hair Tribe had already gone south in the winter, bypassing Xiping County and heading to Longxi."
"According to the spies' report, the Bald Hair Tribe took advantage of the Qiang and Hu's siege of Didao and plundered many tribes in the Bohan area. Now the rebellious Qiang are turning around and preparing to fight with the Bald Hair Tribe!
"
When Hao Zhao heard this, his expression changed: "The Bald Hair Division went to Longxi?"
Xu Miao nodded: "Exactly. Didn't Bo Dao say that the Qiang-Hu rebellion would cut off the Shu people's access to Liangzhou?"
"So I learned that the Bald Hair Tribe entered Longxi, so I didn't take too much care. Anyway, we are no longer able to control there, and it would be easier to let the barbarians fight."
"Ming Gong, this is absolutely impossible!"
Hao Zhaogang said something, and because he was too anxious, he began to cough violently.
When Xu Miao saw it, he quickly stood up and wanted to go forward and caress his back.
Hao Zhao, however, forcibly held back and raised his head with a look of panic on his face: "Ming Gong, the Hu people in Longxi are no better than a pack of dogs. If you hit them with a stick, they will run away with their tails tucked between their tails."
"But the Bald Hair tribe is different. They are a pack of wolves, and they hunt according to the law. If they are allowed to plunder the rare Qiang and Hu tribes to strengthen the tribe, they will be too powerful to control, and they will definitely attack Liangzhou."
As soon as he said this, Hao Zhao spit out a mouthful of blood.
