Bamber had finally pulled the plug. After hearing his words, the guards who were originally prepared to fight to the death with Hu Yihan began to hesitate.
"What do you want to do? Isn't the patriarch treating you badly? Ah."
Feeling the attitude of the people around him, Hu Yihan's bodyguard suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly at the people around him.
"Yes, the patriarch is so kind to us, I won't embarrass him anyway."
"Me too, the patriarch saved me three times, I owe him three lives."
"Well, I am willing to die with the clan leader."
Hu Yihan was very moved when he saw that his tribesmen were willing to die for him, so he didn't want his brothers to make unnecessary sacrifices.
"Brothers, I know what you mean. Now let me help you do something. If you want to kill me, Hu Yihan, you, Banbor, can't do it."
As soon as Hu Yihan finished speaking, he flew out of the crowd and fell down the city wall.
"Clan leader."
"No."
"Wait for me, patriarch."
Seeing Hu Yihan falling to his death from the wall, his bodyguards did the same. They all turned over and jumped off the city wall without hesitation.
Without exception, hundreds of people died heroically. There were no cowards who surrendered.
Hu Yihan's death also brought an end to the offensive and defensive battle of Wujin City, and the fall of Wujin City also made it clear that the entire Bingzhou except Shuofang County was in Yuan Shu's hands.
"The army will rest for a day and then transfer to Jiuyuan City."
"promise."
Yuan Shu's army rested briefly, and then rushed to Jiuyuan City in high spirits.
Time passed day by day, and Yuan Shu's army returned to Jiuyuan City after a long time.
In the evening, Xun You was left alone in the room by Yuan Shu, who wanted to discuss the next strategic plan with Xun You.
"Lord, why did you call me here?"
Xun You sat opposite Yuan Shu, looking at his lord, his little head began to spin rapidly.
"Gongda, what do you think we should do next in Shuofang County?"
Yuan Shu did not talk nonsense and directly confessed his wishes to Xun You.
"Then it depends on how the master wants to fight."
Xun You looked at Yuan Shu, but there was a hint of caution in his eyes.
"How will the fight be like? I don't know, but at the very least we must take back Shuofang County from the hands of the Qiang people. If there is a chance, we can attack Liangzhou and drive out all the Qiang people from the territory of the Han Dynasty."
Yuan Shu thought for a moment and gave his bottom line.
"It's okay to just take it back to Shuofang County. Now we have trapped 60,000 cavalry there, and their strength has been weakened by at least 50%. If we push all the way through, I believe it will be difficult for them to resist, but it may be troublesome to attack Liangzhou."
Xun You thought for a moment and gave the answer.
"What kind of trouble?"
After hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu frowned.
"My lord, Liangzhou is no better than Bingzhou. Although Bingzhou has many powerful foreign races, they are divided into pieces, so we can divide them and defeat them.
But Liangzhou is different. The Qiang family is the dominant family there. Although there are disputes, if we really invade in a big way, even the warlords there will not agree if we don't ask the Qiang people to join forces.
At that time, we will not only have to face the Qiang people, but also the combined forces of the Qiang people, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and this battle will not be easy to fight."
After looking at Yuan Shu, Xun You helped him analyze the current situation very objectively, especially the problem in Liangzhou.
"What if I insist on fighting?"
Although Xun You said this, Yuan Shu still wanted to test his ability as a military advisor.
"It's not impossible, but we need to suspend the offensive in other places and mobilize all the main forces from Youzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou. In this case, it will be easy to capture Liangzhou."
Xun You thought for a moment and quickly came up with the best plan.
"No, the war is going on in Youzhou and it is also important for Qingzhou to prepare for the next war. Jizhou is our base camp and we cannot afford to lose anything. Is there no other way?"
After stopping Xun You's words, Yuan Shu shook his head. There are tasks to be done in Youzhou and cannot be stopped. Qingzhou is very important as the first frontline whether attacking Yuzhou or Xuzhou. This is especially true for Jizhou, which is the top priority of the base camp.
"Yes, but it may take a long time."
Xun You thought for a while and still had some clues in his mind.
"Tell me, I want to hear it."
As mentioned earlier, Liangzhou was so difficult to defeat, and now that there was a method, he wanted to hear how long Xun You was.
"The first thing we need to do is to drive a wedge between Han Sui, Ma Teng and other warlords and the Qiang people."
The first people Xun You threw out were Ma Teng and Han Sui, the great warlords of Liangzhou.
"Han Sui and Ma Teng started their lives as Qiang people. It would be extremely difficult to alienate them."
After hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu raised a question.
"My lord, it's actually easy to drive a wedge between them. Han Sui and Ma Teng have a long-standing hatred, and the Qiang people behind the two families are also different.
As long as we find a way to make Han Sui and Ma Teng fight against each other, the Qiang people behind them will also fight against each other. When the time comes, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait until they are almost defeated before sending our troops eastward. It will be effortless.
Take the entire Liangzhou."
Xun You's strategy was adapted to local conditions. Although Liangzhou was the territory of the Qiang people, their spokespersons were different. As long as they could provoke conflicts between Ma Teng and Han Sui, there would be no peace in Liangzhou.
"Forget it, just stop after taking Shuofang County. As for Liangzhou, for the time being, use your strategy to stir up anger among the warlords. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
After listening to Xun You's analysis, Yuan Shu could only nod his head. If he really gave up his deployment in the Central Plains for Liangzhou, it would be unwise. He couldn't be that stupid.
"promise."
The strength of Yuan Shu's army is basically the main force in Bingzhou. Except for the main fighting faction in Shuofang County who originally attacked Jiuyuan County, the remaining followers did not hesitate. When they saw Yuan Shu's army approaching, they either surrendered or surrendered.
The tribe retreated to Liangzhou, and Shuofang County returned to the hands of the Han again without any effort.
After taking Shuofang County, the entire Bingzhou Province has completely fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, the self-proclaimed Bingzhou Shepherd. However, the system's prompt tone still did not sound. This proves that the system does not recognize the situation of Bingzhou, which means that Yuan Shu will have a follow-up.
Only by taking action can the task be completed completely.
"Gongda, we still have a lot of things to do, so we can't slack off."
After the celebration banquet, Yuan Shu called Xun You to his side again.
"Lord, are you talking about those alien races?"
Xun You understood Yuan Shu's words very clearly. If there is anything that needs to be solved in Bingzhou's barren state, the only ones that need to be solved are those foreign races.
"Well, I plan to break these alien races into pieces and move them all to Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, and then move the Han people from the three states to Bingzhou."
