"The old general is very generous." Xiao Mohe stood in the lobby of the Hanzhong government office, checking the inventory of supplies in Hanzhong.
Opposite him, Chun Yuliang was sitting on a rocking chair, rocking and swaying, feeling extremely leisurely.
After being stationed in Hanzhong for so many years, Chun Yuliang has become exhausted and has finally found a successor. Therefore, for him now, these things are quite out of my control anyway, so I am here to see what you are trying to do.
Of course, that may be what it says on the surface, but anyone who is familiar with Chun Yuliang knows that the old general is clearly reluctant to part with the foundation he has consolidated over the years, so he has to watch here and say nothing.
Let the boys who came to take over be ruined.
In terms of seniority, Xiao Mohe is not an adult here at Chun Yuliang, but compared to those guys of the younger generation, he is more reassuring.
Chun Yuliang knew that Xiao Mohe was talking about the batch of materials that he had allocated to support Wuwei before, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "At that time, I didn't know that General Hanzhong was at war. Since there is a surplus in the treasury, it should be used on the front line first.
Well, we have a lot of people here anyway, so it’s useless to have so many things gathering dust in the treasury. It’s only good if it falls on the enemy’s head.”
Xiao Mohe smiled. In fact, what Chun Yuliang sent away were old-fashioned munitions that had been replaced. There was nothing to be sorry for. What's more, if Wuwei, as the frontline, could not hold on, then they would be holding on to Hanzhong.
These munitions are of little use.
"Yuan Yin, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Chun Yuliang couldn't help but ask.
The old man said he was going to the theater, but in fact he was still curious about what Xiao Mohe was going to do. If he hadn't been physically unable to keep up, the old man really wouldn't mind following Xiao Mohe. No, he should.
It was simply not Xiao Mohe's turn to take command again. The old man himself could lead his army all the way to Wudu.
After Xiao Mohe came to Hanzhong, he did not mention anything about sending troops to attack later. It seems that he came to Hanzhong not to attack the Qiang people, but simply to succeed Chun Yuliang. What he did was not to check the Hanzhong treasury.
Just accessing the archives of Hanzhong General School caused an uproar inside and outside the government office.
It's just that Xiao Mohe was a former Taiwei of the Han Dynasty, and now Li Xingchen has given him the title of "Situ", so the prestige is really here. If Situ, as one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, is just an honorary official title,
However, General Zuo Wuwei had real power, and the generals below could not help but disobey orders.
As the Han Dynasty has been on foreign campaigns for many years, the general ranks of Four Expeditions, Four Towns, etc. that were originally commonly used in the Han Dynasty have actually been held by people. If a general of Xiao Mohe's level is sent overseas, he will not have a position, and as a dignified prince,
A lieutenant is also the person who talks side by side with the hussar generals and chariot generals in the military court. It would be downgraded to serve as the general of the Four Expeditions.
Therefore, Li Xingchen specially adjusted the previous left-guard generals and right-guard generals, and established four official titles of left and right military guards and left and right generals of Xiaowei respectively. These four official titles are always there, but the people are not always there. Important generals in the court or
When a general who has been transferred to a civilian position is ordered to go on an expedition, the court will add one of the official titles to indicate that his status is above all the armies. All ministries, whether it is four expeditions or four towns, must obey his orders.
Because its function was almost the same as that of the civil governor of the Han Dynasty, when it was first proposed, it was jokingly called the "Right and Left Military Guard Governor".
This time Xiao Mohe left Luoyang, Li Xingchen named him General Zuowuwei, showing his absolute trust in Xiao Mohe. Of course, it also meant that Xiao Mohe was partial to the enemy, but compared to the main battlefield of Wuwei
The direction can be called a partial division, but it is also a main force for the Han Dynasty's entire westward advance strategy.
Xiao Mohe's identity was placed here, and Chun Yuliang was watching leisurely beside him, so the officials and generals in Hanzhong could only let Xiao Mohe do what he wanted.
When others ask this question, Xiao Mohe can pretend that he has not heard it, but since Chun Yuliang has asked it, Xiao Mohe cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb: "I have just learned about the general situation in Hanzhong.
There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left to guard the city, Yangping Pass, Chencang, Qishan and other places. In fact, only more than 10,000 people can be used. Excluding the old and weak, it would be good to be able to make up 8,000."
Chun Yuliang nodded.
Hanzhong was already at the rear of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that it was located at a throat and had so many passes, I'm afraid the Han Dynasty wouldn't have placed so many soldiers and horses here. Moreover, Hanzhong itself was located in a canyon, and there were quite a few just now.
The surrendered Ba people farmed here. In order to prevent the Ba people from any unrest and the Qiang people from the periphery who might come to cause trouble, it was reasonable to arrange more troops and horses.
However, these soldiers and horses are definitely not comparable to the main fighting army. Most of them are local soldiers. They are more than capable of defending the city, but it is a bit difficult to attack.
Therefore, being able to select eight thousand soldiers and horses from them is already considered good.
"In the past two years, I have reorganized 2,000 elite Ba people, all of whom are good at crossing mountains and ridges." Chun Yuliang added, "Yuan Yin brought these people with him to make up 10,000. Otherwise, it would be difficult to go on an expedition.
Shake the foundation of the Qiang people."
Xiao Mohe nodded. Chun Yuliang was quite kind. This was equivalent to handing over all his wealth over the years and making wedding clothes for others in vain: "If there are ten thousand people, the existing food and grass in Hanzhong can last for three months."
, which is quite enough.”
"In three months, Yuan Yin plans to kill across the Taoshui River?" Chun Yuliang raised his eyebrows.
The main gathering places of the Qiang people are actually the Qiang River Basin that continues westward from Wudu, which is later known as the Minjiang River, and the Tao River Basin that extends northwest from Wudu to Jincheng and Wuwei, with Fuhan County as the center.
Because there are many high mountains and valleys in the Qiangshui area and are relatively barren, the Qiang people migrated further west to places such as the Huangshui River Valley.
Xiao Mohe is sending troops now, naturally with the main purpose of supporting the Wuwei battlefield. Going deep into the Huangshui River is naturally not as convenient and quick as purging the Qiang people around the Taoshui River and directly forcing the Qiang people to leave their residence on the south side of Wuwei.
But it doesn’t seem that easy to defeat the Qiang people in three months, right?
"Old General, don't you have confidence in me?" Xiao Mohe looked back and said with a smile.
Chun Yuliang stopped shaking and looked at Xiao Mohe intently.
For a moment, he was also in a trance.
It seemed that he saw again the unstoppable young man who rode his horse to kill the enemy.
With a self-conscious smile, Chun Yuliang said directly: "I forgot, you are Xiao Yuanyin."
Although the tiger has gone dormant, it is still a tiger.
The tiger's attack down the mountain is still deadly!
"Yes, this is Xiao Yuanyin." Xiao Mohe laughed loudly and walked straight out, "Come here, beat the drum and gather the generals!"
In a daze, even he himself could hardly tell whether he was in Hanzhong now or on a battlefield where he had fought in the north and south.
Although time flies by, my ambition is still there.
