"PS: The first update yesterday. The author is racking his brains to think of strategies, because for the war he is currently writing about, the outline is actually just "Ji Run fights Sanchuan, and the opponent is so-and-so". The specific tactics and strategies are all
It needs temporary consideration. The author was too sleepy last night, and his head was dizzy and his logic was confused. The more he wrote, the more confused he became, so he simply took a nap first and then woke up and started writing again. This time the author learned the lesson and left a message in the book review.』
————The following text————
To the east of Xunhe Mountain and to the south of Kuzong Mountain, they entered the sphere of influence of the Jie tribe.
On September 26, Babuhe led the remaining two hundred Wusu warriors and fled here, fleeing to the Ronan Basin Valley.
Luonan Basin Valley is the territory on which the Jie tribe relies for survival.
Here is the intersection of the "Xuanhu River" and the upper reaches of the "Luo River". The water source is sufficient, the land is fertile, and the pasture is quite abundant. More importantly, except for a few mountain roads and valley roads that connect with the outside world, the Luonan Basin Valley is almost surrounded by
Mountains, so even if they are neighbors to the Qin State across the Qinling Mountains, the Jie tribe will also
Not afraid of Qin - In fact, on the eve of the last "Wei-Qin Sanchuan Battle", Qin had considered sending troops from "Lantian", but after all, the Qin army was unable to pass through the Luonan Basin Valley occupied by the Jie tribe, so later
Only then did he change his strategy and choose to attack the Huayin Plain, the territory of the Yi tribe at that time.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Luonan Basin Valley, the territory of the Jie Tribe, is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack among all the forces in Sanchuan. Therefore, it is no wonder that the leader of the Jie Tribe, Batulu, is more confident than the other chiefs.
At Si hour on September 26, Babuhe, who was covered in blood, met Batulu, the chief patriarch of the Jie tribe, in the patriarch’s felt tent in the territory of the Jie tribe in the Ronan Basin Valley.
When meeting Babuch, Batulu was shocked because he had just received news from the current leader of the Wusu tribe, Udamuzi, asking for help yesterday, and was about to summon some tribal warriors to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the warriors of his own tribe
Before they could be sent out, the Wuxu tribe had already fallen.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lifting up Babuch who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, Batulu had a complicated look in his eyes: "Isn't there six thousand Flame Horn Army in the Royal Court? There are also nearly forty thousand slaves, how come...
"
Balutu really couldn't understand how the Wusu Royal Court could be destroyed by the Wei army in just a few days despite having 6,000 Flame Horn troops and as many as 40,000 slaves.
"It's Sima An!" Facing Batulu's inquiry, Babuhe's eyes were red and he choked and said: "The thief did not know how to instigate those slaves to rebel and catch up with us..."
Recalling the massacre and plunder of the Wuxu tribe by the Dangshan Cavalry, the Jiejiao Cavalry and the tens of thousands of slaves who turned against them, Babuhe burst into tears.
Although the man could not shed tears easily, but seeing his two brothers die and 20,000 tribesmen being massacred, how could Babuhe hold back the grief in his heart - the Wusu Royal Court, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was actually lost today.
He was destroyed by Wei general Sima An.
Listening to Babuhe's cries, the eyes of Balutu, the leader of the Jie tribe, flashed with regret and horror.
Babuhe did not know that in fact, Balutu also had selfish motives. In fact, the latter could have sent troops to rescue the Wusu Palace in advance. After all, Sima An and Bosile were destroying the tribes in Sanchuan who were unwilling to surrender to the Wei State.
, the Jie tribe has plenty of time to send troops to rescue the Wusu tribe.
But Balutu didn't, because he wanted the Wusu Tribe to be weakened and wanted the Wusu Royal Court to rely more on the Tajie Tribe. But he never expected that the Wusu Royal Court had 6,000 Flame Horn troops and 40,000 slaves.
, was actually destroyed in one fell swoop by Wei general Sima An.
This broke his original arrangement for Wusu Royal Court.
Babuhe shook his head and said with a choked voice: "Al died in the battle, Uda..."
He didn't finish speaking, but Barutu already understood what Babuch meant.
"I really didn't expect..."
While comforting Babuch, Balutu considered countermeasures.
He originally hoped that the Wuxu tribe would surrender to his Jiejiao tribe, but Udamuqi would be disobedient when the time came. He deliberately did not send troops to support him, hoping that the Wei army would weaken the Wuxu tribe. However, something unexpected happened, and the Wuxu tribe with tens of thousands of people
, only Babuhe and a few two hundred Wusu tribesmen came to seek refuge.
This result made Batulu sigh secretly.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have grabbed the "Alliance Clan Leader"..."
Balutu said secretly.
The leader of the alliance in his mouth is the "(Sanchuan) Anti-Wei Alliance" composed of several tribes such as "Wuxu, Jie, and Ling".
After appeasing Babuhe, he called a few soldiers to take him to the tribe to rest. Balutu sat in the felt tent and thought about countermeasures.
"The Qin army...actually refused to rescue the Lu family."
Baturu couldn't figure this out.
After all, in his eyes, the Lu family is a very important strategic place, located between "Hangu", "Luonan", and "Yichuan (the territory of the Ling tribe)". It seems that the Lu family is now occupied by the Wei army, then,
The Wei army will undoubtedly be able to launch various tactics to defeat the Qin army, the Jie tribe, and the Ling tribe. Logically speaking, the Qin army will not fail to see the importance of the Lu family.
However, the Hangu Qin army still refused to send troops to rescue them, allowing the Wuxu tribe to be destroyed by Wei general Sima An, and the Lu family to fall into the hands of the Wei army.
"Does the Qin army really want to fight to the death with the Wei army in Hangu?"
Balutu's face became a little ugly.
After all, the strategic intention of the Wei army was very obvious, "First Sichuan, then Qin", that is, first to deal with the Sichuan tribes in Sanchuan who were unwilling to surrender to Wei, and then to gather troops to fight the Qin army.
Therefore, according to common sense, the Qin army should assist the Sichuan tribes as much as possible to prevent tribes such as the Wuxu tribe, Jie tribe, and Ling tribe from being defeated by the Wei army first. However, the Qin army did the opposite and allowed the Sichuan tribes to fight against the Wei army.
Fight to the death.
It is undeniable that from the perspective of Qin's interests, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is indeed a good way to reduce one's own casualties. However, the problem is that although the Wei army is a tiger, the Sanchuan tribe may not be another tiger.
Just like the Wusu tribe, they were bitten to death by the tiger of the Wei army in one bite. In this case, the trick of "the snipe and the clam compete with each other for the fisherman's profit" was used. Balutu was very suspicious of the Qin army's commander.
The military strategy of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi - couldn't that guy see that in front of the fierce tiger of the Wei army, the Sanchuan anti-Wei tribe was as weak as a lamb?
"If it doesn't work out, we have no choice but to abandon Luonan and move to "Southern Sichuan"..."
Rubbing his brow bones tiredly, Balutu secretly thought about his tribe's way out.
The "Southern Sichuan" he was thinking of generally refers to the land south of the Three Rivers, where "Wan" and "Guyong Kingdom" are located. It is the junction of Ba Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, and Nanliang (Wei).
The place is filled with all kinds of people and forces. It is a place of disputes that is much more chaotic than the Central Plains.
It cannot be said that the land there is barren and the environment is harsh. It can only be said that wars occur almost every day there. Ba people and Ba people, Ba people and Chu people, Chu people and Wei people, Wei people and Ba people, even if it is Ba people.
Tu, who was born in a warlike Jie tribe, did not want to move the entire tribe to southern Sichuan even if he had a choice - it would not matter if it caused a war in southern Sichuan and robbed the Ba people, but if he wanted to move the entire Jie tribe to southern Sichuan, even if it was
There is no guarantee that Barutu will be able to gain a foothold there.
Unfortunately, this may be the only way out for the Jie tribe, unless they can defeat the invading Wei army.
But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is really low.
Of course, even so, based on the current battle situation, the Wei army may not be able to force the Jie tribe out of Sanchuan, even if the Wei general Sima An, who is now talking about Sanchuan, takes action personally.
After all, there is only one road from Lu to Luonan. As long as this important road can be guarded, the Jie tribe may not be driven out of Sanchuan by the Wei army.
The question is, when the Qin army in the Hangu area refuses to send troops to support, is it necessary for the Tajie tribe to defend here and fight to the death with Wei general Sima An?
Maybe other tribes would fight Wei general Sima An for the land they depend on for survival, but the Jie tribe is different. They also have a large territory in southern Sichuan, but this territory will be attacked by the Ba people from time to time.
Luonan in Sanchuan is just so peaceful.
Just as Balutu was thinking about it, a burly warrior from the Jie tribe walked out of the felt tent. After saluting, he said: "Chief, the Qin people have sent a letter."
Balutu was stunned and asked: "Qin people from Hangu?"
"Yes." The soldier nodded.
Balutu frowned when he saw this. After thinking twice, he nodded and said, "Bring in."
The soldier nodded and left, and after about a while of burning incense, he led a Qin soldier in Qin armor who seemed to be only in his twenties.
After seeing Balutu, the Qin soldier didn't hesitate, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
Under the signal from Balutu's eyes, the Jie tribe soldier took the letter from the Qin soldier and handed it to Balutu.
Balutu glanced at the letter and saw the words "Qin Wuxin Hou Qi, pay a visit to Balutu, the leader of the Jie tribe" written on the envelope.
As soon as he saw this line of writing, Balutu knew that this letter was personally written by Gongsun Qi, the leader of the Qin Army and the Marquis of Wuxin.
To be fair, Balutu had a very bad impression of this "Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi", and he hoped that the Qin army's commander this time would still be Qin Shaojun.
In his opinion, although Qin Shaojun was finally defeated by Wei's son Ji Run in the last battle of Wei and Qin Sanchuan, resulting in the destruction of 200,000 Qin troops by the latter, this does not mean that Qin Shaojun is an incompetent person.
At present, Wei Gongzi Ji Run has not yet been defeated. Even a figure like Shouling Jun Jingshe of the Chu State is only a draw with this Wei Gongzi.
What's more important is that Qin Shaojun is very tolerant. He didn't care about the Wei army's move to force the tribes of Sanchuan to inflict pain on the Qin army after the "One-day Battle of Hangu". He still made various promises to win over people like Wu Xu, Jie, and Ling.
It's a pity that Qin's foundation is weak and not as rich as Wei's.
According to Babuhe, this time, the Qin Shaojun also strongly requested to send troops for support. Unfortunately, his suggestion was not adopted by the current Qin army commander Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi.
"Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, this coward, I don't know what he can write."
With contempt, Balutu opened the letter and took a look at it.
Unexpectedly, the content written in the letter made Barutu's expression become solemn all of a sudden.
