The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 411
After Sun Ce received Zhou Yu's letter, he wrote back to ask Zhou Yu's navy to take the army back to Wuling. Under many conditions, defeating Jiangling was already a luxury.

However, this time Sun Ce's troops were not fruitless. Liu Biao's elite garrison on the South Route was basically disabled, and the Jiangling garrison lost [-]%.
This year was the most serious year of chaotic wars in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Except for the war between Sun Ce and Liu Biao, Yizhou was also restless. However, the Yizhou rebellion was a civil strife. It hasn't been conquered for a year, but all the areas where Zhao Wei rebelled have been recovered.

During this period, besides the veteran Yan Yan, Liu Gui, Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Ling Bao and others stood out and became the new generation of generals in Yizhou. However, Liu Zhang just took control of Zhao Wei. Seeing that Liu Zhang was in dire straits, Lu refused to listen to Liu Zhang's orders.

The angry Liu Zhang ordered the killing of Zhang Lu's mother, and Zhang Lu, who was originally a semi-separatist regime, completely broke with Liu Zhang. However, Lu Heng was very suspicious when he saw the news of Jin Yiwei. Killed Zhang Lu's mother at this juncture?Perhaps this is another historical mystery to be buried at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yizhou was in civil strife, and besides Yizhou, Liangzhou also had no peace. Li Jiqian, who had been training for a year, also knew about the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, but it was still too far away from Liangzhou. Li Jiqian thought it would not hinder his expansion.

Back in the spring of this year, the location where Li Jiqian dispatched troops is also very clear, including Zhang Pu, Zhang Yuan, Li Yuanhao, Li Xiaoren, Li Qianshun, and others all agreed to only fight Han Sui, because the strategy of splitting Ma Teng and Han Sui two years ago was different. With a certain effect, everyone believed that Ma Teng, who had a new ally, would not rescue Han Sui again.

Similarly, this time the eldest son Li Yuanhao sent troops as the commander in chief, and the second son Li Qianshun led the troops to guard against Ma Teng. Li Yuanhao's generals included Zan Tianwang, Ji Lasiyi, Ren Duoding, Ren Duo Baozhong, Ye Li Yuqi, and Ye Li Wangrong. These generals followed in several consecutive battles.

This time Zhang Pu suggested that Li Yuanhao send troops directly to the west to attack Guzang, the seat of Wuwei County. Han Sui’s territories include Jincheng County, Wuwei County, and Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County to the west of Wuwei County. Among them, Guzang is The throat fortress connecting several counties to the west.

As long as this place is taken, it means that Han Sui's territory will be divided into two and completely blocked in Jincheng County. counties of these places.

There are two reasons. First, these places have been eroded. Han Sui only has one hometown, Jincheng County, so the loss of Han Sui's power is not a concern at all.

Second, these places do not border Ma Teng's territory, and Ma Teng will not send troops for these places today.

Li Yuanhao thinks what Zhang Pu said is reasonable, since the last time he coincided with Zhang Pu, Li Yuanhao is not like other Han people to Zhang Pu, but rather agrees with Zhang Pu.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang Pu, follow Yuan Hao to send troops!"

Li Yuanhao's words made Li Jiqian quite surprised. Knowing his son is like his father, Li Jiqian knows that this eldest son has always distrusted the Han people, and believes that the supreme party members are the nobles!
On the contrary, the second son, Li Qianshun, admired Han culture, was obsessed with Confucianism, and accepted Han people more.

Li Jiqian felt that he hadn't reached his twilight years yet, but he still had to pay attention to the issue of heirs.

Originally thought that the eldest son Li Yuanhao was more suitable to be a general, and his handling of the Han people was also extreme, the second son Li Qianshun was more suitable as a successor, and Li Xiaoren was a bit too weak in character.

Li Jiqian knew very well that relying solely on Dangxiang people or Qiang people would not be able to grow at all, and still needed to use Han people, but the change of the eldest son was a good signal.

Li Yuanhao ordered [-] soldiers, and set off to the west with elite iron kites, Bubazi, Han artisans, and Shaodang Qiang and Baima Qiang attached to Xixia.

Li Yuanhao made such a big noise, of course Han Sui received the news, at this time Han Sui regretted not rescuing Ma Teng in the first place!
But this man is cunning, he doesn't want this old face for reinforcements, in the name of Cheng Gongying helping Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, and because he and Ma Teng are sworn brothers, Cheng Gongying sent Ma Teng to ask for reinforcements.

Colleague Han Sui himself led the general Yan Xing, and the various forces attached to him, such as Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Hou Xuan, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, etc., stationed in Guzang, leaving his confidant Mawan to stay in Jincheng county.

In the battle of Xiliang, the cavalry came and went like the wind, just like the infantry in the Central Plains, which took more than ten days to march. Even the soldiers and horses went first before the food and grass were moved. , Even a month ahead of schedule.

The nomads are different. Their food and grass are cattle and sheep born with feet, and they can walk and run on their own. As long as someone drives them in a unified way, it will greatly speed up the marching speed.

From Lingzhou to Guzang, the Beidi county government (Li Jiqian moved the government last year), you only need to go west along the Qin Great Wall. Li Yuanhao, who is hundreds of miles away, approached Guzang in five days, while Han Sui The main force did not take too long to reach the two armies in a place called Cangsong east of Guzang.

In other words, Han Sui's main force is waiting here for Li Yuanhao's army. It's not that Han Sui didn't think about defending Guzang to the death. Giving up his horses to defend the city is in the eyes of Xiliang people. , but the city is not strong, so Han Sui gave up this plan.

There is a slope on the west side of Cangsong. This place happens to form a right angle on the side of the road that must be passed. Don't worry that Li Yuanhao's army will not pass through this place.

Han Sui, who was nicknamed "Jiuqu Yellow River", was often confused about important matters, but he was very careful. This time the terrain was very accurate, and Li Yuanhao's army would pass by this place before a day passed.

Most areas in Xiliang are plains, and there are almost no large-scale forests. Han Sui can only use the terrain of the slope when the two sides confront each other. people?

"Where is Zan Tianwang? Lead five hundred iron kites to attack, and a certain one will follow up!"

"promise!"

As the commander-in-chief, Li Yuanhao waved his hand, and five hundred iron kites were separated from the army. This is not the first time that a Xixia ace cavalry has made outstanding achievements.

"Everyone charge!"

Following Han Sui's order, Yan Xing took the lead. Yang Qiu on the left and Liang Xing on the right led the cavalry to charge forward. Wen Xixia has produced a top powerhouse who can suppress Ma Chao, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, Yan Xing has never fought against Zan Tianwang, and wants to try the quality of this Xixia's number one powerhouse.
