Wuwei, Guzang County, Wei belongs to Liangzhou Governor's Office.
Jia Xu, who was surrounded by several followers, walked slowly towards the place.
From his relaxed brows and the joyful expression on his face, it can be seen that he is in a good mood these days.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Because the Han army moved.
But no one expected that the person who kicked off the Liangzhou War would be the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe who had never had any quarrels with the Han army.
But he said that after Jiang Wei led the cavalry of the Qiang camp back to the Fortress of Manyin, Jia Xu asked his scouts to reach the other side of the river and monitor the movements of the Han army day and night.
He also found out that for some unknown reason, Jiang Wei led his cavalry back to Longyou.
At that time, Jia Xu, who had received his reward, was still puzzled.
How can there be any reason for a ranger scout in charge of military affairs to leave when war is approaching?
But only three days later, everyone in Hexi suddenly realized.
It turned out that the Han army was playing hard to get.
On the second day after Jiang Wei left, Commander Ma Dai led the Xiliang cavalry, which was famous for its thousands-mile raids. They crossed the river under the cover of darkness, and with lightning speed, they suddenly attacked Panhuan in the city.
The Xianbei Tuoba tribe in Wei County.
Perhaps it was Jiang Wei's departure that made Xianbei commander Dai Hua Langni feel that there was no threat to the Han army.
Or maybe Dai Hua Langni felt that there was no intersection between his headquarters and the Han army. At the time when Han and Wei were competing, the Han army would not pay attention to him, so as to avoid causing extra trouble and causing a feud!
The Xianbei Tuoba tribe, who was not much on guard, waited until the "Han" flag hunting in the wind caught their eyes before blowing the warning horn.
Therefore, victory or defeat has also been determined.
Ma Dai led three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry and drove there, as if they were in a deserted place.
And Dai Hua Langni, who had no time to gather his tribesmen to resist, was also quite decisive.
Instead, he cut off all the cattle, sheep and horses at the right time, and asked the tribe to drive all the cattle, sheep and horses out of the pasture to hinder the pursuit of the Han army's cavalry. He took his personal guards and retinues to escort the women and children to escape far away.
Fortunately, Ma Dai came running for hundreds of miles and was trapped by the horse power of one man and one horse, so he did not continue to pursue him.
Instead, they gathered more than 30,000 cattle, sheep, and nearly a thousand horses kept by the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, and drove them back as trophies.
When Dai Hua Lang Ni came back from the war to take stock of his losses, he almost wanted to vomit blood.
The casualties among the tribesmen were almost negligible, but the number of cattle, sheep and horses that they depended on for sustenance was very low.
He suddenly lost so many cattle, sheep, and horses that even if he could build a net to catch fish and shrimps in the river, it would not be able to support his tribe of nearly ten thousand people for two months.
Not to mention that autumn has arrived.
Naturally, he could no longer hover around Yuwei.
However, just when everyone thought that Dai Hua Langni would inevitably lead his tribe back in misery to seek Tuoba Liwei's protection and be unable to threaten the Han army's Fortress of Manyin again, the development of the situation raised eyebrows.
The tribal commander, who Tuoba Li leaned slightly on his left and right shoulders, only asked two hundred cavalry to escort the women and children back. He went to great lengths to slaughter all the remaining cattle and sheep for dry food, and brought nearly three thousand string control men with him.
He sneaked outside the Great Wall of Jianyin City and lurked.
At that time, Wei Yan, the former general of the Han Dynasty, had already arrived to lead the army.
The pontoon bridge across the river connected by rafts and boats had just been built. The ordnance and grain waiting to be transported across the river were piled up in mountains, which could be clearly seen across the river.
Dai Hua Lang Ni sent three hundred tribesmen from Lao to the Shuiquan Shahe River in the Quwu Mountains (to the northeast of Guanyin). They all held fire and made a lot of noise at night. Thousands of horses came to retaliate.
When the Fortress of Manyin was alerted and the Han soldiers who were garrisoning at night were attracted to resist, the main force led by him took advantage of the chaos and crossed the pontoon bridge from the southwest of the Fortress of Manyin and robbed a Han army camp where weapons were stored!
The number is quite impressive.
According to rough statistics, there are nearly a thousand swords and spears, more than 200 bows and crossbows, and about 6,000 crossbow arrows.
It is said that after Dai Hua Lang Ni successfully attacked and fled, the former Han general Wei Yan sent Ma Dai and Jiang Wei to pursue the cavalry to no avail, so he became furious and questioned the generals. Even the chief general guarding the Manyin City Fortress, Han
After his achievements, General Zhang Bao of Pingbei was whipped several times with a riding whip by the furious Wei Yan in public.
The army commander Shi Feiyi persuaded Wei Yanfang not to be too harsh on the generals before the battle, so Wei Yanfang stopped marching.
The Wei army's scouts were unable to find out what happened next.
Because the Han army was trying to repair the enemy, Ma Dai and Jiang Wei's cavalry patrolled the other side of the river day and night, and no one within ten miles of the Fortress could approach.
However, this also made Jia Xude overjoyed after hearing it.
He has been on the battlefield for a long time and has deduced a lot of information from it.
For example, in order to guard against the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, the Han army not only strictly guarded the streets along the Shuiquansha River, but also set up two small garrisons across the river in the direction of Yuwei.
Jia Xu could not deduce whether the Xianbei commander Dai Hua Langni would conflict with the Han army again.
But he knew that with the establishment of two small garrisons of the Han army, the strength of the Han army invading Jincheng County would be reduced by at least 2,000!
And the general flag flying in the garrison is Zhang Bao, the chief garrison commander of Guanyin.
right!
From being attacked by Xianbei to mending the situation, Scar Pu, who was entrusted with important tasks by Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, still did not show up.
Perhaps, when he was assassinated, he was seriously injured even though he was not dead?
Jia Xu made a final decision secretly.
Afterwards, the matter was forgotten outside the sky.
As Yang Fu said, with the army led by Wei Yan approaching, whether Bi Scarpu was seriously injured or not was not important to the situation in Hexi.
The most urgent task is to use the Han army's unprovoked attack on Xianbei to arouse the common hatred among the Qiang and Hu tribes.
If you can send an envoy to look for Dai Hua Lang Ni, and then discuss the matter of joint efforts between the two parties.
If we can boldly claim that the Han army has always despised the Qiang and Hu tribes, and even the unrelated Xianbei Tuoba tribe was attacked, if they occupy the Hexi Corridor, all Qiang and Hu tribes will face severe difficulties.
The effect is quite significant.
The Qianghu tribe was lured to the Qianghu tribe. After the leaders of each tribe learned about the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, they all respected Jia Xu a little more.
The Southern Xiongnu Hu Bo Juzi, who had always been aloof from each other, had already led his people from Xiutuze to join forces.
Lu Shuihu, who was treated harshly by the government, spontaneously collected some cattle, sheep and grain for military use.
Some small tribes also claimed that they were willing to lead their tribesmen to fight alongside Jia Xu.
Naturally, Jia Xu declined this politely.
Out of the caution necessary for war, he did not dare to accept the offer and could not accept it.
What if these Lu Shuihu aids are fake, but actually have the intention of defecting before the battle?
Only more than ten years have passed, and the hatred between the two sides is not so easy to eliminate.
Moreover, after forcing back the invading Han army, he must also reward the small Lushuihu tribe who had made contributions in the conquest.
Such as returning pasture acres, etc.
However, those pastures and acres have long been divided between the government and local right-wingers. If they were to be divided again, wouldn't it make those right-wingers alienated from the Wei State and cause new turmoil?
