chapter 537

The reason why the Wei army suddenly stopped and returned was naturally due to the success of Li Tang Mang's attack.

After being instructed by Zheng Pu, at the end of June, he carefully selected more than a thousand elite horse thieves from his subordinates, all dressed as Southern Huns, and under the banner of Liu Bao, they entered along the Wudingshui River Valley.

Wei belongs to Xihe County.

While looking at Taiyuan County in Bingzhou all the way, he also claimed that he was sent by Liu Bao, the Great Chan of the Xiongnu, to call on all the southern Xiongnu tribes to break away from the control of Wei and return to the Hetao Plain in the north to work together to restore the former glory of the Xiongnu.

.

This approach shocked all the counties and counties in the Wei state.

When Cao Cao of Wei Dynasty was alive, he divided the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes and settled them in Bingzhou, and now the Xianwang Youxian of the Xiongnu Kingdom who was pro-Wei has passed away.

If Liu Bao from the left really sends people to contact other tribes, it will definitely cause turmoil.

Although it would not trigger the Southern Xiongnu to rebel, it is inevitable that some tribal leaders or powerful right-wingers would take advantage of the turbulence of people's hearts to plunder or disturb the people.

Therefore, Wei State sent many county soldiers to Taiyuan County to set up defenses and alert.

But unexpectedly, after leaving Tang Mang and entering Xihe County, he suddenly turned south and entered Hedong County, burning huts along the way, trampling on the grain that was about to be harvested, causing great disturbance in Hedong.

Before Chen Tai, who was stationed in Hedong County, mobilized troops to encircle it, he crossed the river from Pubanjin without stopping again and turned into Zuofengyi.

Zuo Fengyi's defense focus was in the north, and he was almost defenseless against the hinterland areas such as the south and east.

It also made Qianqi from Tang Mang feel like a deserted place.

They trampled the farmland, dug river embankments and ditches, looted the farmhouses and donated grain to the Li people, and burned the baggage transferred to supply You Fufeng's army, etc. Zuo Fengyi was in chaos within ten days.

The Li Shu and Qiang Hu tribes who had previously migrated from Anding County were forced to register by the Wei government and had to bear too many corvees during this war, so they also took this opportunity to break out. Some took the opportunity to kill officials.

Some of those who robbed supplies gathered together to plunder and fled into the valley to become bandits, and some even took advantage of this opportunity to escape from Wei's jurisdiction and become survivors.

In response to this, Chen Ben, the governor of Feng Yi, was busy dispatching troops and horses from the north to quell the chaos.

But this move also allowed Li Tang Mang to find a loophole in Zuo Fengyi's northern defense line. He escaped from the tributary of the river and returned to Bingzhou Shangjun. After returning to Qiaomen County, he found that the more than a month he had spent deep in the enemy's territory had only been lost.

Just over a hundred riders.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.

After their in-depth raids, they were equipped with one person and two horses, and they never stayed in one place for more than two days. They did not keep gold, silver, and other valuables for themselves along the way to slow down their speed. They escaped and returned while the officers and soldiers were suppressing the civil unrest.

normal.

Rogue bandits arose, counties were in chaos, and the people of the people were in panic.

Faced with the destruction of countless farms in the rear and delays in the transfer of food and baggage to the army, neither Cao Rui nor Sima Yi had any desire to fight the Han army decisively.

In particular, Sima Division lived up to expectations and had already made Jiangdong give up the alliance with Bashu and send troops to Jingxiang!

Yes, the troops from Jiangdong came directly towards Wei's Jingxiang front. They abandoned their alliance with the Han Dynasty and took over the Wei State at the price they paid for the safety of Guanzhong.

Wei and Wu did not form an alliance.

But a consensus was reached.

Because of Sima Shi, Sun Quan clearly understood that once the Han Dynasty returned to the old capital and occupied Guanzhong, both Wei and Wu would face an unbearable burden.

For example, the theory of destiny of the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will usher in the ice melting and the snow melting.

It is inevitable that we will enter a difficult situation where people's hearts are not attached to them and counties and counties are uneasy.

In addition, many poor or reckless people who did not benefit from the power distribution of the Han Dynasty in the Wei Dynasty would turn to the Han army in the hope of making contributions and revitalizing the family name. Even some powerful rightists who had benefited,

People will prepare for "odd things to live in" and take desperate risks for the possibility of further progress in their home.

The most fatal thing is that from then on, the soldiers no longer dared to fight.

Just like the powerful Qin that conquered the six kingdoms in the past, the Wei State, which still occupies the richest land in the world, will face the image of defeat when it hears the arrival of Shu troops and "cannot eat the food it eats", and the country will not be a country.

Jiangdong will not have an easy time either.

Don't look at the fact that Bashu has been at odds with Wei in recent years. This is because of the struggle for destiny.

Once Bashu gains power and its national power becomes stronger, it will inevitably recall the shame and hatred of the Battle of Xiangfan and the Battle of Yiling!

Those Bashu generals whose fathers were killed in these two battles will lead the White Horse Alliance, shouting "If the Liu family is not the king, the whole world will fight together", prompting Bashu and Jiangdong to turn against each other and meet with swords again!

And Jiangdong couldn't even defeat Wei, so how could it resist Bashu who defeated Wei?

It was the consensus of Wei and Wu that Bashu and Bashu should not be allowed to enter Guanzhong.

Therefore, when Sima Shi brought Cao Rui's sincerity to Wuchang, Sun Quan felt that the best outcome for the Wu State was for the world to continue to maintain the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Rui's sincerity was very bold, and he planned to exchange counties with Wu.

For example, the Wei State assigned Jiangxia County, Xiangyang and Fancheng, and the three eastern counties to Jiangdong; while Jiangdong assigned the old and new cities of Hefei and Lujiang County in the north of Jiangbei to the Wei State.

Both sides exposed their respective Kyoto to the other side's military front.

For example, after Jiangdong has captured the two cities of Xiangfan, it can enter Yuzhou in the east, and then go north to conquer or bypass Wancheng to knock off Luoyang; and after Wei has captured Lujiang County and the old and new cities of Compound Fei, it can cross the Lujiang River to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you only need to break through or bypass Ruxuwu to reach Jianye City.

Such a replacement, no matter in terms of territorial size or strategic significance, seems to be Wei's compromise in order to achieve its goals.

No one else, because everyone knows that reaching an agreement with Jiangdong is seeking the skin of a tiger.

With his capricious nature, after winning Jingxiang, he might turn around and form an alliance with Bashu again, and lead his troops east to attack the two states of Yu and Yan of Wei State.

But in fact, Jiangdong is the one who suffers.

Because with the current situation, Wu State has entered the Jingxiang front, and it is bound to defend Wei State from Bashu's military front!

Let me ask, on the basis of the old blood feud between Han and Wu, Jiangdong betrayed the alliance at the critical moment when the Han Dynasty was still in the old capital, causing the Han Dynasty to fall short. Can the Han army not come to attack?

Or, in other words, how could the Han army dare to devote its entire country's strength to compete with Wei in Guanzhong before it ensured that Jiangdong had no strength to attack Bashu and that it had no worries?

Sun Quan knew the pros and cons of this.

But he couldn't care about that much.

Because everyone in Jiangdong feels that Jiangdong has now reached a point where it is necessary to drink poison to quench thirst.

Needless to say, the biggest reason was that when the Han Dynasty became stronger, it would raise troops to take revenge in Jiangdong.

On the other hand, after his hope of conquering Huainan was shattered and Liao Shi's rebellion caused turmoil, Sun Quan needed the fertile land in northern Jing to appease the wealthy families in Wu and Jingnan.

Real interests can best stabilize people's hearts~

The last reason is Sun Quan's selfishness. He wanted to leave a chance for his descendants to compete for world supremacy.
