"The Qin army...really cut off Sima An's return route?"
As dusk approached, Batulu, the leader of the Jie tribe, stood on the ridge of the Xuanhe Mountain, looking at the narrow Yangchang Valley in the distance that was more than two hundred miles long, thinking secretly in his heart.
A few days ago, shortly after Babuhe, a survivor of the Wuxu tribe, led a few 200 members of the Wuxu tribe to join the Jie tribe, Batulu, the leader of the Jie tribe, received a letter from Gongsun Qi, the commander of the Qin army, Wu Xinhou.
In the letter, Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi stated that he would send a surprise force to cut off Wei general Sima An's return path, and invited Batulu to join forces to attack Sima An.
To be honest, Batulu was also skeptical about the strategy described by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi. After all, in his view, when the Wei army captured the Lu family and destroyed the Wuxu tribe, the entire eastern Sanchuan area bounded by the "Lu family"
, except for Yichuan, all fell into the hands of the Wei army.
Under such circumstances, Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi wanted to unite with the soldiers of the Ling tribe to cut off the retreat of Wei general Sima An, which was simply a fantasy.
But having said that, Batulu hopes that Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi can succeed.
Without him, it was just because he "saw" the ambition of the Wei army, or to put it simply, the ambition of Wei Gongzi Ji Run - the latter was preparing to take this opportunity to completely eradicate the unwillingness of the Sanchuan territory to surrender to the Wei state.
tribe, absorbed Sanchuan County as part of the Wei State.
After realizing this, Batulu understood that the Jie tribe he led, as well as the Ling tribe, which was also a Jie tribe, had become the target of a certain King Su who "will definitely eradicate". No matter what,
The latter will not keep them anymore. The Wusu tribe that was destroyed first is a lesson learned from the past.
Under this situation, Batulu naturally tended to do as Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi said, first try to cut off an arm of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, that is, kill Wei general Sima An.
Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi pointed out in the letter that Wei Gongzi Ji Run was vigorously improving the prestige of Wei general Sima An in an attempt to shape Sima An into a "guardian" on the "Western Wei battlefield" (the guard who defends does not refer to the real guard).
After all, Wei is currently facing a national disaster. Heroes on the battlefield will greatly boost the morale of the Wei people and increase their confidence in winning this war.
Therefore, in this case, if we can find a way to kill Sima An, it will not only disrupt the overall arrangements of Wei Gong Ji Run, but also severely dampen the morale of the Wei people. Of course, there is no better way than to kill Wei Gong.
Ji Run, but unfortunately, this item is very difficult, so I settled for the next best thing.
Originally, Batulu had already thought clearly: if Luonan can be defended, then defend it; if it cannot, retreat to Wandi and Yongdi in southern Sichuan. Anyway, the Jie tribe also occupies a large area of land in southern Sichuan.
But the letter from Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi gave Batulu more choices.
Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, told Batulu in a letter that if the Jie tribe supported his strategy and joined forces to get rid of Wei general Sima An, then Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, would guarantee it and enable Batulu to obtain the title granted by the King of Qin.
, and allowed the Jie tribe to flee westward into the territory of Qin in times of crisis.
Between the stable territory of the Qin State and the chaotic Wanyong Land, Batulu naturally prefers the former. After all, according to his understanding, the territory of the Qin State is also very broad, not inferior to that of the Wei State. If he can get the protection of the Qin State,
, which is naturally far superior to the Jie tribe’s efforts to fight in the Wanyong land by their own strength and compete with the Ba people for land.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Batulu made up his mind: If a Qin army really intercepted Wei general Sima An's retreat, then he would not mind letting the arrogant Wei people lose a piece of their mind.
The pain of becoming an admiral; if the situation is reversed, the original interruption will be continued and the tribesmen will migrate to the Wanyong land in the south.
But now, various signs indicate that the army led by Sima An is probably having problems in the rear. So this afternoon, the Wei cavalry of Sima An's unit, which was originally fighting with the soldiers of the Jie tribe in the narrow valley of Yangchang, suddenly and abnormally
They retreated for more than thirty miles and adopted a defensive attitude in the narrow valley.
Batulu knew exactly how many Wei cavalry there were in the Yangchang narrow valley. According to his estimate, there were at least 20,000 Wei cavalry in the valley.
These 20,000 people cannot be underestimated. Except for some of the Wei people from Dangshan Weiqi, the rest are more from the Jiejiao Army led by Bosile. They are also compatriots of their Jie clan, although these compatriots of the Jie clan don’t know what they are.
Under the circumstances, not only were they willing to fight for the Wei people, but they were also extremely brave, as if they wanted to attack the Jie tribe immediately.
If the Jie tribe wasn't also a powerful tribe with hundreds of thousands of slaves, the Jie tribe might really have been at a disadvantage in front of the 20,000 Wei troops.
But it was this 20,000 Wei army with extremely strong fighting capacity that suddenly and abnormally shrank their defense line and took a defensive position this afternoon. Then there was only one possibility - there was a problem in the opponent's rear.
In other words, the Qin general named "Wang Jian" really did such an incredible thing. He quietly passed through the territory controlled by the Wei army and cut off Sima An's return path.
I have to say that this gave Batulu some hope of getting rid of Wei general Sima An.
But having said that, this is just a glimmer of hope. After all, although Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi stated in his letter that Wei Gongzi Ji Run must have fallen into the trap and transferred his troops to Hangu, leaving the Lu family with a gap in the Wei army's defense.
But who can guarantee that Wei Gongzi Ji Run will be foolish enough to leave his army in front of Han Valley?
According to Batulu's understanding of Mr. Wei, the latter is definitely not a good person. Even if he is deceived for a moment, he will probably react quickly. In short, Batulu does not think that this trick can deceive Mr. Wei.
Moisturized for too long.
If that Wei Gongzi Run leads an army back to aid the Lu family and protect his general Sima An, then the whole plan will be completely ruined.
"Sima An must be eradicated as soon as possible."
Batulu said secretly in his heart.
When the sun went down, Batulu returned to his tribe and summoned the leaders of the Jie tribe in the tribe chief's felt tent to discuss with them how to jointly attack the Wei army under Sima An's tribe.
It is undeniable that the demise of the Wusu Tribe greatly shocked the leaders of the Jie Tribe, causing their attitudes to change.
Some people believe that at this time, we should find ways to reconcile with the Wei people.
Among them, a leader named "Yakha" said: "...our Jie tribe has no conflict with the Wei people. In fact, we cooperated quite harmoniously in the first three years. However, the Wusu Royal Court confuses us and the Wei people.
People break up..."
Subsequently, there was a series of accusations against Udamuqi, the eldest son of King Wusu, accusing him of being ambitious, arrogant and so on.
These remarks aroused Babuch's anger and made Batulu look a little ugly.
After all, when Udamuqi negotiated with him, he, Batulu, also felt that the Sichuan people should resume their dominance over Sanchuan and not succumb to the Wei people.
For decades, the Sichuan people still had fewer wins and more defeats against Wei.
Coupled with Qin's strong intervention later, Batulu also accepted Udamuqi's suggestion and prepared to use the power of Qin to recapture Sanchuan from Wei - mainly to recapture Luocheng, a city with immeasurable wealth.
city.
But no one expected that Wei Gongzi Ji Run would be so powerful in that battle. In the "One-day Battle of Hangu", he actually killed 200,000 Qin troops and fled in rout, causing Udamuqi's plan to completely fail. Not only did
He failed to achieve the expected goal, and was even resented and warned by Mr. Wei.
Listening to Yakoha's words, Batulu couldn't help but feel regretful. After all, the cooperation between the Jie tribe and the Wei people in the first three years was indeed very harmonious: they sold the slaves they captured from Ba or the ore they collected to Chuanluo.
Alliance , Zaiyukawa
The Luo Alliance was sold to the Wei State, and the Wei State gave grain, tea, gold, silver, jewelry, etc. of equal value to the Jie tribe for themselves to enjoy, or to win over the ruler of Badi - such as gold, which the Ba people were interested in.
The desire for gold is extraordinary.
But regrets are regrets, but Batulu has no regrets, because he "sees" clearly that although their trade with the Wei people has made their Jie tribe richer, it has also made the Wei Kingdom grow stronger, and the Wei Kingdom has
Once they become strong, the Sichuan people will definitely lose their control over Sanchuan.
No, now Wei Gongzi Runji has shown his fangs and can't wait to add Sanchuan County to the territory of Wei.
Therefore, in terms of regrets, what Batulu regrets most is that when Bitatu, the leader of the Jiejiao tribe, went to war with the Wei people, his Jie tribe failed to help the latter. It was that battle that completely changed Sichuan.
The mutual status of people and Wei people.
But there was no way around it. Who knew that the Jie tribe was at war with the Ba State at that time? What's more, at that time, Batulu did not expect that the Wei State would grow so fast. In just a few years, they would successively defeat the Chu State.
A draw with South Korea will implicitly replace the Qi State, which was rapidly declining due to the death of Qi King Lu Xi, a wise king, and become the overlord of the Central Plains.
It was precisely for this reason that Batulu responded to Udamuqi's call this time. After all, the neighbor Wei was rising too fast, which was not a good thing for neighboring forces.
"alright!"
Seeing that everyone in the felt tent was still arguing, Batulu interrupted: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything more... The lesson learned from the Wusu Royal Court is right in front of us, the Wei army will not accept the surrender of our people.
What Wei Gongzi Run wants is Sanchuan, a Sanchuan who is close to Wei! ... Instead of arguing about meaningless topics, it is better to think about how to kill Wei general Sima An and severely demoralize the Wei army!"
After hearing this, the tent gradually became quiet.
Immediately, a leader asked: "Grand Chief, can the Qin army make an appointment with you on a date to jointly attack Sima An?"
"Not really." Batulu shook his head.
In fact, this is what worries him the most right now. Although the Qin army commander Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi invited him to join forces to attack Wei general Sima An, he did not inform him in advance of the exact date of the joint attack. Maybe Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi planned this.
The matter was handed over to Qin General Wang Jian, allowing him to make arrangements freely, but so far, the Jie tribe has not received any news from Wang Jian's army.
In fact, after Qin general Wang Jian captured the Wei camp in Jian, it was not that he did not send someone to deliver news to the Jie tribe. However, Sima An anticipated this situation and set up layers of defenses in the mountains on both sides of the narrow valley.
As a result, Wang Jianjun's messenger couldn't get through at all and couldn't deliver the news to the Jie tribe.
"In this case, we can only wait for the Qin army to take action first..." A leader suggested: "If the Qin army attacks Sima An's tribe, it will be so powerful that we will be aware of it. At that time, our tribe will also send warriors
Give him a helping hand and attack Sima An from both sides."
Batulu thought about it carefully, and he also felt that unless he received a letter from Qin General Wang Jian, this strategy would be the safest.
