The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54 Rest and Recuperation Rise of Xixia

His eyes turned to Lingzhou a month ago. This place was well-known in the Northern Song Dynasty and was the cornerstone of the founding of Xixia, but it was very inconspicuous during the Three Kingdoms period.

This place is located in Beidi County on the border of Liangzhou. Liangzhou has been in rebellion for many years, which greatly consumed the national power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now it really belongs to the three-way zone.

But Lingzhou has a very special terrain, with the Kubuqi Desert in the east, the Ulan Buhe Desert in the north, and the Tengger Desert in the west. In the middle of the three major deserts, it is adjacent to the Hetao area, which is currently controlled by the Southern Huns.

Liangzhou, also known as Xiliang, has a total of nine counties. There are many warlords, big and small, in this prefecture. After all kinds of annexation and fighting, there is the Xiliang Alliance headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui. There are Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Ma Wan, Hou Xuan, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, and Wang Cheng.

The Xiliang alliance is very loose, and the remaining forces are equal in strength, and no one can dominate the other. At the same time, Chang'an in the east is now also occupied by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang remaining army, Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Yan, and Zhang Ji.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who came from the same origin also wanted to occupy the fertile land in Guangzhou, so they often clashed with Li Jue, Guo Si and others. The two sides fought fiercely. At this time, Li Jiqian quietly moved to Lingzhou .

In this era, Li Jiqian came to the Dangxiang branch of the Qiang nationality, called Dangxiang Qiang. At the beginning of his arrival, Li Jiqian and Li Jichong brothers moved the ethnic group from the vicinity of the northern part of Jiuquan to Lingzhou.

After arriving in Lingzhou, he colluded with the local big brothers Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, and the prefect who was killed directly took over the Lingzhou regime. Li Yuanhao, Yeli Yuqi, Yeli Wangrong, and Ananda came to the world one after another.

It can be said that Li Jiqian is the commander-in-chief, fierce general, and counselor. Today's Li Jiqian is developing very rapidly. He quickly strangled Wang Cheng in the early stage, and after annexing Qubu, his troops expanded rapidly.

Li Jiqian's Dangxiang Qiang was also a nomadic people and needed grasslands to feed horses, cattle, sheep, etc.

After Li Jiqian occupied Lingzhou, he hoarded the cattle and sheep looted everywhere, and the grain and grass of the Han people in Lingzhou.

As the demand for pastures increased, friction gradually occurred with the Southern Huns in Hetao, and the two sides fought several times in small scales.

The current Shanyu Fuluo of the Southern Huns is becoming more and more afraid of the development of Li Jiqian's power, and it is like stabbing his back!

With the appearance of Li Jiqian, the good times of the Southern Huns were basically over. Originally, Yufulo had no strong enemies in the Hetao area, and when he was short of food, he went to nearby Hanoi, Sili, and Bingzhou to plunder.

Ever since Dong Zhuo lured Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and annex Qubu with the red rabbit horse, Bingzhou was so injured that he was unable to protect himself!

For a period of time, Bingzhou became a vacuum zone and became a paradise for the Southern Huns.

In the winter, they entered the Han Dynasty's "grass Valley" to burn, kill and loot, especially in the north of Bingzhou Shuofang County, Shangjun and the bordering areas of the Southern Huns. Most areas were empty.

With the passage of time, the princes from all walks of life annexed each other. After Yuan Shao sent his nephew high-ranking officials to serve as the governor of Bingzhou, Yu Fuluo feared that Yuan Shao's strength would gradually stop attacking Bingzhou, so he changed his targets to Hanoi, Sili and other places.

However, with the rapid rise of Li Jiqian this year, Yu Fuluo did not dare to go south to plunder Hanoi, Sili and other places. Every time he sent troops south to the 'Dacao Valley', Li Jiqian would definitely attack Yu Fuluo's lair!

Gradually, Yu Fuluo's visits to Han Dynasty's "grazing valleys" became less and less. It is worth mentioning that due to Lu Heng's system, Li Jiqian's appearance made Yu Fuluo's "grasping valleys" less frequent this year. Cai Wenji was not robbed to the Southern Huns. , but continued to seek refuge in Cao Cao eastward.

Even Lu Heng didn't know about this butterfly effect, that is to say, Cai Yan's "Hujia Eighteen Beats" and "Poetry of Sadness and Anger" will not appear, but other scores will appear.

Finally, Yu Fuluo was very angry, and Yu Fuluo, who couldn't bear it any longer, decided to command the whole clan with a total of [-] troops, and wiped out Li Jiqian first.

The decisive battle between Li Jiqian and Yu Fuluo started just a month ago. I don't know whether it is Li Jiqian's luck or Yu Fuluo's bad luck.

If Yu Fuluo started the war earlier, such as a few months ago, when Lu Heng hadn't summoned Yang Zaixing and Yang Yanzhao, and the two giants Ye Li Yuqi and Ye Li Wangrong hadn't come to the world, then Yu Fuluo's chances of winning might be It will be 40% more.

Although Li Jiqian only has [-] soldiers and horses, now Li Jiqian has so many famous historical Xixia generals, which can be seen in Fuluo's fate.

Yu Fuluo divided the army into three divisions. King Zuoxian and King Youxian led their respective tribes to form a separate army. Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan led the first army, and Yu Fuluo personally led the central army!
In the early days, Yu Fulo relied on his large number of troops and attacked Li Jichong several times in a row. Yu Fulo was blinded by the victory and did not listen to Hu Chuquan's advice. He chased Li Jichong all the way to Lingwu Valley.

Lingwu Valley is a narrow road with steep plateaus and mountains on both sides. From Helan Mountain to Lingwu Valley there is a land that dives downward. The shape of the valley is like a gourd with a big center and small sides. Less than 30 miles out of the valley mouth is Lian County, an important border town.

Yu Fuluo didn't know the terrain, so he rushed into Lingwu Valley with his army, and was cut off by two generals, Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong, who blocked the valley on both sides of the mountain.

Hu Chuquan led Zuoxian King, Hulu King, and Guxi King to rush into the valley to kill the Xiongnu King. Zuoxian King was beheaded by Ye Liyu, and Guxi King was shot to death by random arrows.

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, King Youxian led his tribe to leave the battlefield without authorization and retreat to the north.

Li Yuanhao in the valley personally took the 700 iron kites he put together and swooped down through the terrain, crushing the panicked and chaotic Yufuluo army all the way.

After killing the southern Xiongnu's corpses for thousands of miles, Li Yuanhao personally broke through Yu Fuluo's guards, and Yu Fuluo was crushed into a meat paste by the iron kite.

But Hu Chuquan, Yu Fuluo's younger brother, saw King Zuo Xian being killed with his own eyes. King You Xian ignored his orders and waited for his soldiers to retreat, but he was unable to rush into the valley.

In this battle, the Southern Huns died more than 2 people and surrendered 3. The Southern Huns were completely devastated, and King Youxian fled to the north to join Yuan Shao.

But Hu Chuquan inherited Shan Yu's position and took the rest of the Southern Huns to flee to the north of Wuhai to compete with Jie and Xianbei for territory. He was killed by his nephew Liu Yuan a few years later, not to mention praise.

Li Jiqian became famous through this battle and gained great prestige among the Qiang people. A large number of Qiang people took refuge in Dangxiang Qiang, and at the same time robbed the large grasslands of Hetao to develop rapidly.

Li Jiqian, who relieved his worries about the future, turned his attention to the hinterland of Liangzhou. At the same time, as time goes by, Li Jiqian will have more and more names under his command!

At this time, Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two largest princes in Liangzhou, were on their honeymoon period. They were defeated by the Guanzhong Allied Forces and retreated to Xiliang. Ma Teng and Han Sui became brothers of the opposite sex.

However, these two sworn brothers are not as good as Liu Guanzhang, nor Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Han Sui even killed Ma Teng's wife and underage son. The two had hated and attacked each other for many years, and it was not until Cao Cao came forward to appease Guanzhong that the two sides stopped fighting.

Now, because of the appearance of Lu Heng and the birth of the old enemy Li Jiqian, Xixia has quietly risen in Lingzhou Xixia. With this powerful enemy in the lair of Ma Teng and Han Sui, will the two fight against each other like in history, or will they be together? It is unknown to resist Li Jiqian!
