Before the autumn harvest, the fields were destroyed and the cattle and sheep were taken away, which was a devastating blow to Li Shu's livelihood.
For Hu Zun, who was ordered to guard Longdong, it was an early warning that the county government offices might be in crisis of food shortages and that the Han army was about to attack the enemy.
As a general in Pingxi, he is not lacking in the ability to plan military affairs in times of peace.
For example, Ni Shu, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness, actually did such a bad thing. In his eyes, this was Scar Pu's plan to attack the enemy.
Because as long as he shelters these Qianghu tribes and Han people in the city, the order in the city will inevitably become chaotic, and even induce conflicts and increase the pressure on the garrison officers; more importantly, these people will destroy the food reserves of the defenders. Used up quickly.
At that time, Bishu Pu only had to oversee the troops and besiege the city for a few months after the autumn harvest, and the city would be self-defeating because of the depletion of food and fodder.
Therefore, he made a decision quickly.
It was claimed to these displaced people that there was no extra food or housing in the city to survive the autumn and winter, and only China had the ability to provide relief, allowing them to spontaneously go south to find a way to survive.
And he would send his assistants to inform the counties or garrisons along the way in advance so that they would not be blocked or detained as Liu Min.
In this regard, the reaction of the Han family Li Shu was better.
Although they knew that after going south, their whole family would be reduced to farmers in Wei.
But faced with starving to death and freezing to death, they had no better choice.
But the opposition from the Qiang and Hu tribes was quite fierce.
They were used to being unrestrained, and knew that if they entered Guanzhong, they would be registered as a household registration by the Wei State, and they would be burdened with heavy taxes and corvees from the Wei State!
Not to mention that Wei State did not protect them.
Yes, Hu Zun rejected the request to send troops to Yuezhi City to seek justice for them, completely ignoring their previous feelings of sending their tribesmen northward to bring him back from the Kushui River Valley!
In other words, these Qiang and Hu tribes feel that the credibility of stabilizing the Hu family is no longer trustworthy.
In fact, Hu Zun was also helpless.
Against Shu, Xiliang's cavalry were dormant outside the city. Wouldn't he be risking death by sending his troops out of the city?
Even if these Qiang and Hu tribes claimed emphatically, their tribesmen plus Wei's infantry were enough to prevent the Xiliang cavalry from finding an opportunity to ambush.
Hu Zun scoffed at this.
If they could fight against the Xiliang cavalry, why were they driven to seek help like bereaved dogs?
In desperation, he had no choice but to reject the request of the Qiang and Hu tribes on the grounds that he had the duty to defend the city and could not go to war. In order to let them go south to Guanzhong, he did not hesitate to threaten them, claiming that Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, was about to send Wuhuan to invade. Riders came to Longdong to garrison. If they did not go south, they would probably be treated as refugees or rioters and dealt with according to law.
Such an approach will naturally fail to convince the public.
A small number of tribes followed the instructions and went south, while nearly half of the tribes found hidden valleys and mountain valleys for women and children to hide, and then turned into horse thieves and plundered everywhere. Their targets were not only the Yuezhi City area where they had an enemy, but also all the counties in Longdong, Wei State. .
What is surprising is that a small group of tribes went west to Chaona County to seek shelter from the Han army.
Perhaps, as vassals of Wei, they felt that Wei's betrayal was more difficult to accept than the Han army's attack.
In other words, they followed the survival instinct of relying on the strong: the Wei State, which was sitting on the richest land in the world, was attacked by the Han army until it was unable to fight back, and it was not enough to protect them.
Hu Zun himself didn't know this kind of contempt.
When all the Qiang and Hu tribes and Han people left, he finally resolved the crisis of defending the city. He recorded the whole story in detail in a book and sent it to Guanzhong and Sima Yi, claiming that he could defend the city without any worries.
There is no need to send Wuhuan Tuqi to Longdong anymore.
There are no villages outside the city of Gein.
Regardless of whether the Han army's Xiliang cavalry continues to stay, there is no threat to the city.
When the guard Xue Ti, who was stationed at the mouth of the valley, learned that the Xiliang cavalry was invading Longdong, he already supervised the troops heading north, and happened to meet the Qiang and Hu tribes and the Han army Li Shu who were heading south along the Jingshui River Valley.
Therefore, he also wrote a letter to Sima Yi.
Instead, he claimed that he would place the soldiers and common people under Zuo Feng Yi's place, so that Sima Yi would not have to worry about causing refugees to disturb the rear.
He also advised Sima Yi not to let Wuhuan's sudden cavalry detach his troops to go to Longdong, lest Scar Pu's move would be to divert the tiger away from the mountain to invade Longdong and allow Wei to detach its troops, causing loopholes in the Guanzhong defense line.
After all, Ni Shu was near Yangcheng, and there were still five thousand cavalry of the heroic cavalry general Zhao Guang!
After Sima Yi got the letters between Hu Zun and Xue Ti, he had nothing to say.
What Hu and Xue could predict was not difficult to see through with his wisdom, and he had no intention of sending Wuhuan to ride northward.
In the battle of overthrowing the country, there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of such a small fight.
The Wei State, which was on the defensive, could not commit a "little intolerance" and mess up the deployment of various defense lines.
Moreover, knowing the strategy of Cao Rui of Luoyang to "defeat Wu first and then defeat Shu", he is now waiting for the outcome of the Huainan war to see whether Luoyang's Chinese army has the ability to enter Guanzhong to help in the war, and then decide whether to
Change the strategy of conquering Shu.
Yes, the Huainan front is already tense and about to explode!
But he said that since Jiangdong sent envoys to the Han Dynasty last year and agreed that the two countries would conduct a simultaneous northern expedition, Sun Quan had early urged all ministries to make preparations. In May of this year, when the river water rose slightly, he vowed to march to Shouchun.
By the end of June in the summer, the Grand Governor Lu Xun had already deployed various troops to surround Shouchun City.
This time Sun Quan also did not personally supervise the troops before the battle.
Instead, he transferred to Lujiang County in the north of the Yangtze River, claiming that he would personally be busy with the autumn harvest to ensure food for the soldiers of various ministries.
It can be regarded as a means to boost morale and gain self-awareness.
However, God did not favor him.
When Governor Lu Xun arrived at Shouchun City and he rushed to Lujiang County, Zhuge Jin and Lu Dai, who were guarding Jingnan, wrote a letter.
It is not that Wei State made any moves on the Jingxiang front.
But Pan Jun died of illness.
This was something everyone in Jiangdong expected.
Ever since Pan Jun's army entered Jingshan to plunder the barbarians to increase the population, and was defeated by the Wuhuan cavalry led by Xiahou Xian and Qianhong of Wei, leaving only 2,000 of his 10,000 soldiers back, he has often been depressed and suffered from frequent illnesses.
Sent.
But his death at this time still made Sun Quan very sad.
Not only was he sad that Wu State had lost an important minister, but he was also worried about the stability of Jingnan.
During the Battle of Xiangfan, the land of Jingnan was obtained by breaking the alliance. Both the common people and the barbarian tribes had disloyal feelings towards the Wu Kingdom. Even if the two kingdoms of Han and Wu formed an alliance after the Battle of Yiling, they could not prevent the rebellion in the counties.
Or barbarians rebel.
Pan Jun, who was born in Jingnan, was the person he relied on to stabilize Jingnan counties.
At a time when he was attacking Huainan with the whole country's troops, Pan Jun's death might induce some people to cause rebellion.
In particular, most of the soldiers Pan Jun lost in Jingshan were members of the powerful Jingnan family, and now the Wu family is benefiting from the attack on Huainan...
