Ning Yan really believed that it was impossible to attack Liangzhou, so after praising Lu, Ning Yan just said it and threw it aside. But now that Xun mentioned this matter, he had to ask one more question:
"Oh, why does General Zhuo still mention this matter?"
Hyun smiled and said:
"Liangzhou can't be defeated, but with the strength of the two countries, we can always get a piece of meat. As for how to use the piece of meat, we have to wait until it is done. We can only decide after seeing which piece of meat is eaten. its purpose.”
As if he had already obtained the result, Shinobu couldn't help but smile on his face, and he proudly stroked his non-existent beard, looking like a bitch.
Ning Yan shook his head helplessly and discussed the matter alone with Ning Yu, Jiang Wu, Le Zhengxi, Huang Xi and other generals.
After Tuyuhun praised Lu Cong for mentioning the attack on Liangzhou to Ning Yan, he thought he would get a reply soon. Unexpectedly, not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he went directly to Wuxing State and had a fight with Wei State.
This battle attracted much attention from Kua Lu. The number of scouts sent from Tuyuhun was no less than that of the two parties in the battle. Although the difference was two or three days, in ancient times, it could be considered a real-time report.
This attention also allowed Kua Lu to revise his previous knowledge about the Kun Yu Kingdom. Kua Lu believed that if it were Tu Yuhun who had such various fighting methods, Tu Yuhun would probably be defeated in a fight, because Tu Yuhun would be defeated. His fighting style is still that of the nomadic people in the past, which is to be good at riding and shooting, and using the mobility of horses to fight. However, the battle between Kunyu State and Wei State opened a new door for Kua Lu.
The battle between Kun Yu and Wei had ended for more than a month, and Kua Lu was still studying among a pile of battle reports and sketches.
A soldier came to report:
"Khan, the envoy from Kunyu Kingdom will be coming in a few days."
Kua Lu was stunned, raised his head sharply, and said with gleaming eyes:
"The envoy from Kunyu Kingdom is coming?! OK, OK! Get ready, don't let people feel neglected!"
The envoy sent by the Kunyu Kingdom this time was Ning Cheng. Although Ning Cheng was not as prestigious as Ning Fang, Ning Cheng was both civil and military and capable of fighting. He did not live under the shadow of his father, but lived under the shadow of his father. Despite his own brilliance, when talking about Ning Cheng, one would never think that he is the son of King Yi, the God of War.
Kunyu State sent Ning Cheng here, which showed that it attached great importance to Tuyuhun. This made Kua Lu very happy and received Ning Cheng personally.
Since Kua Lu greeted him with a smile, Ning Cheng also said kindly:
"The suggestion that Khan made before, I'm sorry for delaying the discussion until now. I hope Khan won't be offended."
Kua Lu waved his hand indifferently:
"You also have things to do. Why should I be surprised? Come on, come on, sit down!"
Because this was a welcome banquet, the two of them did not talk about business, watch performances, or eat and drink. The next day, in the afternoon, Kua Lucai sent someone to invite Ning Cheng to discuss matters.
The two of them agreed on the location for sending out troops and rendezvous. The details could only be discussed after the rendezvous. Kua Lu happily sent Ning Cheng away.
The attack on Liangzhou was all in open areas, and the effect of biological and chemical weapons was not obvious. However, Ning Meng and the people in the Craftsman Department developed a new ammunition - paste bomb. Of course, it cannot be real paste, Kun Yu State does not have that much flour to boil the paste for a battle. Even if there is flour, it cannot be wasted like this.
What is the definition of paste? A paste made from flour, etc. that can be used to stick things. Ning Meng’s focus is on “paste that can be used to stick things”, so anything that can become a sticky object is considered Ning Meng used leaves, rotten vegetables, grass roots, rotten rice, rags, etc. to make paste bombs, anything that could increase the viscosity was boiled.
The boiled stuff is then poured into a small bamboo tube with a layer of isolation in the middle. Control the distance, light the twister and hit it out. After it explodes, no matter it hits a person or a horse, it will smear them in the face.
However, after all, paste bombs are not real paste and need to be cooked on site. When the Tuyuhun army and the Wei army saw the Kunyu army confronting each other for the first time, smoke actually rose from the cooking pots. They were puzzled. .
After the Tuyuhun soldiers saw what was thrown into the pot, the colors of the rainbow took turns to show on everyone's faces. The Wei army could not see what was being cooked in the pot, and some of them looked sarcastic.
However, when the paste bombs hit, those sarcastic soldiers could no longer sarcastic.
This thing can block the sight of people or horses when it hits the eyes. In fact, this is not the key. The most important thing is that it is hot! The overwhelming paste bombs are coming, like fireballs. The people are so hot that they can't continue fighting, and the horses are howling like ghosts. They were jumping up and down and disobeying orders. When they saw the projectiles with smoking tails fired from the Kunyu National Formation, the soldiers were so frightened that they ducked. They would rather have the projectiles hit their bodies than get their eyes blurred.
In the first confrontation, the Wei army was defeated by paste bombs. After that, the Wei army felt their calves twisting when they saw the "wairing smoke" from the rear of the Kunyu army.
The generals of Wei State felt very broken when faced with the fancy battles of Kun Yu State. Can't we have a good battle with swords against swords and guns against guns?!
After winning the first battle, Tuyuhun's soldiers were very happy, but the generals of Kunyu Kingdom were not happy.
In the Wuxing Kingdom, the reason why the Kunyu Kingdom was able to defeat the greater number with less was because there were many mountains. Although the air flow in the mountainous areas was strong, the terrain was rugged and bumpy, and one could always find terrain where biological and chemical weapons could be effective. Furthermore, it was also because of the strong support of the local people. With help, Kun Yuguo Shao took many detours.
In Liangzhou, it is vast and vast. When you look up, you can see the horizon without any obstruction. In this kind of place, even if there is no wind, just this open space will greatly reduce the power of biological and chemical weapons. Furthermore, in this place, even if there is no wind, the power of biochemical weapons will be greatly reduced. In a battle like this, both sides are cavalry, and the cavalry can run like a tiger. The wind is the enemy of biological and chemical weapons! Against the cavalry, biological and chemical weapons can almost take a back seat. As for the paste bomb, it is too easy to prevent, so you can only It is used to attack unprepared people and cannot be used as the main force at all.
Therefore, to face the Wei army in Liangzhou, we can only form troops. However, the number of Tuyuhun and Kunyu armies is not large. To win with a small number, we must have the right time, place and people. Now it is The weather is unfavorable, the earth is unfavorable, and people are even more discordant. It is difficult to defeat more with less.
With all the above mentioned, the generals of Kunyu Kingdom had another order to carve out a road to the Western Region no matter what.
This battle started in 554. At this time, the Wei State opened a new battlefield. Therefore, the Wei State army on the Liangzhou side mainly focused on defense. Preserving the territory was the first priority. In terms of morale, it was not as good as Tuyuhunhe. The morale of Kunyu State was victorious.
From spring to summer, Liangzhou was attacked by paste bombs at the beginning and lost a piece of land. The coalition forces of Tuyuhun and Kunyu State never captured another piece of Liangzhou. The soldiers of the Wei State were unable to leave the city and were tightly guarded. The two armies had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
However, the generals of Kunyu State completed the opening of the road to the Western Regions.
After the battle, Kua Lu knew that he was no match for the Kun Yu Kingdom. Besides, Fuqi City, where he lived, was in today's Gonghe County, Qinghai Province. In ancient times, it was an important town connecting the east and west, and there was no shortage of roads to the Western Regions. What's more, because With the participation of the Kunyu Kingdom's army, there were almost no deaths during this expedition. So we simply did a favor and generously gave this land to the Kunyu Kingdom.
Ning Yan also knew that he could not take this land without saying anything. Although this land was acquired by the Kunyu Kingdom, if Tuyuhun had not sent troops, they would not have used their brains on Liangzhou, so In terms of trade between the two countries, Ning Yan has increased a lot of cooperation, which makes Kua Lu very happy. In exchange for these cooperations with a piece of dispensable territory, Kua Lu feels that he has made a profit.
The two countries of Tuyuhun and Kunyu were like having a wedding. The friendship between you and me was endless, but Yu Wentai had a headache:
Tuoba Tao had been on guard against the two countries joining forces since the beginning. Unexpectedly, the two countries finally joined forces. One Tuyuhun had already caused a headache for Wei's western border. Adding a capable Kunyu State, would the west be Being slowly cannibalized by the two countries?
However, Yu Wentai rejected this idea on second thought:
Although the Kunyu Kingdom is very capable, due to the small number of troops, it will definitely not use force if it can be done.
Thinking about it this way, I feel relieved a lot.
Now let’s talk about Wei State.
After Yuwentai withdrew his troops and returned, he first removed Yuan Lie. I am afraid this was also a warning to Yuan Qin that no parent wanted to see his daughter become a widow.
However, after Yuan Lie's death, Yuan Qin did not recharge his batteries and look for another opportunity. Instead, because of Yuan Lie's death, he became a little radical and refused to listen to others' advice. In 554, he once again planned to assassinate Yu Wentai, who was in charge of the imperial army. The people are all Yuwentai's people. As expected, this plan was leaked again.
Yuwentai was furious. He first deposed Yuan Qin and made his younger brother Yuan Kuo the emperor. Later, he restored his original surname of Tuoba and became Tuoba Kuo. He was the last emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, Emperor Gong. In April of the same year, Jiu killed Yuan Qin.
Surprisingly, Yuan Qin's queen, Yu Wentai's eldest daughter, Queen Yu Wen, also committed suicide after Yuan Qin's death. History books record that she died because of her loyalty to the Wei family. I think this reason is a bit ridiculous. Yu Wentai's daughter Loyal to the Wei family? I feel that maybe he really had feelings for Yuan Qin and died for his love. In fact, there are many conspiracy thoughts, but I hope that as the history books say, Yuan Qin really loved Empress Chong Yuwen and Empress Yuwen. He also died for his love.
There are too many conspiracies in the struggle for power. What happened between the two has no impact on history. Just leave a little purity and believe in the records of Yuan Qin and Queen Yuwen in the history books.
In Nanliang, Hou Jing had already gone to the place to have a good time with various little ghosts and big ghosts. Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian had put down Hou Jing's rebellion. At this time, Xiao Yi, the sixth emperor of Nanliang, Emperor Xiaoyuan, was in Nanliang. Liang Xingfeng made trouble, killing this king and that king, and united with the Western Wei Dynasty to attack Yizhou. As a result, Yizhou fell into the hands of the Western Wei Dynasty after the war. Xiao Yi felt that this was a big loss and wanted to redraw the boundaries with the Western Wei Dynasty. This attracted Yu Wen Tai was dissatisfied and sent troops to attack Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi's nephew Xiao Qi proclaimed vassal status to the Western Wei Dynasty and attacked Xiao Yi together with the Western Wei Dynasty. After that, Yuwentai made Xiao Qi the lord of Liang Dynasty and lived in the east city of Jiangling, giving him jurisdiction over the entire Jiangling state. He originally ruled in Xiangyang.
All the territory belonged to the Western Wei Dynasty.
Xiao Jin then proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling, with the reign name Dading, and was known as Xi Liang or Hou Liang in history.
These were discussed in the previous volume, and I will review them here. The reason why I want to mention this paragraph is because Tuyuhun and Kunyu were attacking Liangzhou at this time. This is also the reason why the Liangzhou army only defended.
The Wei State has opened such a large battlefield in the southeast. It can be seen that the battle on this side is more important. Besides, having just had a fight with the Kun Yu State in the Wuxing State, Yu Wentai knew that the Kun Yu State was not easy to mess with.
, Qian warned, just let the generals defend as you were told, and never fight with Kunyu Kingdom, Kunyu Kingdom has too many tricks, and it is impossible to play with it!
The results proved that Yuwentai's strategy of strictly defending Liangzhou was correct. The Wei soldiers were all huddled in their turtle shells, and the two coalition forces did not have the strength to attack the city, so they had to give up and go deep.
Wei Guo defended Liangzhou this time. After the battle in Jiangling, the entire city of Jiangling, young and old, were captured by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and driven into Hangu Pass, leaving only a dilapidated capital city for Xiao Qi.
After this series of battles, the Western Wei Dynasty became a powerful country in the Later Three Kingdoms!
Externally, he has suppressed the Northern Qi Dynasty; internally, he has dealt with those who are jumping around in the Wei family, and has the conditions to usurp power. However, unfortunately, Yuwentai is ready to completely get rid of the puppet of the Wei family, and when he sits on the throne,
But he died in 556 (the second year of Liang Shaotai in the Southern Dynasty, the first year of Taiping; the second year of Dading in the Western Liang Dynasty; the seventh year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty; there is no era name in the Western Wei Dynasty).
According to Yuwentai's last words, Yuwenhu inherited the positions of Yuwentai's Grand Master and Otsuka Zai, and became the actual leader of the Western Wei Dynasty after Yuwentai.
In the second year (557), Yuwen Hu forced Tuoba Kuo to give the Zen throne to Yuwen Jue. Later, Tuoba Kuo was killed, and the Western Wei Dynasty and the entire Northern Wei Dynasty were completely destroyed.
Yuwenjue officially ascended the throne and was called the King of Heaven. His country was named Da Zhou, and its history was called Northern Zhou.
