In the main hall, the Huns talked and laughed happily, but Liu Chan was alone there lonely and melancholy.
At this moment, a Hun suddenly ran in at the door, bowed to Liu Bobo and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tongguan, and all the departments of the Qi army are quickly assembled and ready to kill us."
Liu Bobo was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly asked: "How many people and who is leading the army?"
"The first to fight was Chen Zijiang's flag, and about 5 people were dispatched first."
"Chen, it seems that Chen Qingzhi came out in person. This person is a famous general of the Qi State. If such a formidable enemy comes, the Guanzhong area may be in danger!" Liu Bobo thought in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there are many enemy troops, what should we do?" A nearby household asked hastily.
"Xianyang is too close to Chang'an, and there is no dangerous area around it for defense. If the Qi army comes, we will definitely lose. Instead of this, it is better to retreat into the northern area of Xinping first." Liu Bobo analyzed.
Everyone present is incompetent, they are good at killing and looting goods, but in terms of wisdom and strategy, they are far inferior to the Han people.Seeing Liu Yu's decision, everyone didn't hesitate, held Liu Chan hostage, got up again and moved quickly towards Xinping in the north.
In Jincheng County, Liangzhou, the two brothers of the Ma family sat and looked at each other. As far as their eyes could see, they were all on a volume of books on the table.
"Brother, Guan Yu invited us to attack Liu Bobo together. It has been a few days now, do we agree or not?"
Ma Chao tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thought for a moment and shook his head: "We just accepted Liu Bobo's canonization and turned around to attack him. If the people and wealthy families in Liangzhou know about it, will they look down on us?"
Ma Dai is not good at strategy, so naturally he can't answer.Pound next to him took the opportunity to interject: "Your Majesty, Liu Bobo is a barbarian and our enemy. We accepted his canonization before because of the emperor's edict. Now, Liu Bobo is killing people wantonly, which has aroused people's resentment. If we lead the army to attack at this moment, this is justified. As long as we welcome the emperor back, the king will be the hero of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. At that time, we will hold the emperor in our hands, and we can stand on our own when we advance, and return to Liangzhou to defend ourselves. Beautiful."
"Brother, what Ling Ming said is true, and I hope that brother will not hesitate any longer. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are allowed to rescue the emperor first, then we will be restrained by him again. Wouldn't it be in vain? Your ability is already the same as the regent king back then, ruling all officials, even the emperor has to obey your orders."
Ma Chao was told by Ma Dai that he was full of fighting spirit. After thinking twice, he finally made up his mind to use Pang De as the vanguard.
At the time when the Han Dynasty was in full swing, Chen Qingzhi was also striding forward full of joy.
When the people of the prefectures and counties to the east of Chang'an saw the arrival of the Qi army, they all welcomed them very much. Wherever the Qi army went, they went straight to Bashang without a single soldier.
All the palaces and roads in Chang'an were destroyed, and it was unrealistic to station in Chang'an, and Chen Qingzhi's military rations were also somewhat lacking.Since they marched, a large number of victims of the disaster in Yongzhou flocked to them. Faced with their begging, Chen Qingzhi could only take part of the army food for relief.
It's a pity that these grains are just a drop in the bucket. Although it saved some of the victims from hunger, it caused the army of Qi State to enter the predicament of grain shortage.In desperation, Chen Qingzhi could only send Xie Yingdeng to lead the army to Gaolu to repair the Weishui River first, and sent people to Tongguan to let Wei Xiaokuan quickly transport grain and grass into Guanzhong.
The battle against Han seemed to have come to a standstill due to food shortages in Qi, just as Chen Qingzhi was preparing to make long-term plans.
Suddenly news came from Xianyang that Liu Bobo had kidnapped Han Emperor Liu Chan to continue his escape and head to Beidi County.
Today's Beidi County is completely under the rule of the Huns. Although there are Han people living in the territory, those were captured by the Huns as slaves.
The long-term enlightenment made them extremely respectful to the Huns. If Liu Chan was captured and taken there, Chen Qingzhi's plan to capture Liu Chan alive and order the various ministries in Guanzhong would definitely come to naught.
It is imminent to defeat Han, if he cannot succeed in the first battle, it will inevitably drag on for a long time.At present, Qi State occupies most of the territory of the world, and only the northwest frontier is still lingering. If it can succeed in the first battle, it will not only reduce the casualties of soldiers, but also demonstrate its ability to command troops.
Maybe when Cao Anmin is happy, he will also make himself a Marquis, ranking above all the generals.
In order to realize the ambition in his heart, Chen Qingzhi sent Jia Fu to lead the main force to guard Gaolu, and he led his generals and light cavalry to quickly go north to hunt down the fleeing Huns.
Although Jia Fu hesitated and even stood up to oppose the division of troops, Chen Qingzhi's eagerness to win and repeated dissuasion were hopeless, so he could only lead the army to continue to stand firm and build fortifications to prevent the enemy's sudden attack.
Chapter 966 Collecting Farm Cattle
In Guanzhong, the news of the Qi army's attack came, and Guan Zhang and others who were still preparing to rescue Liu Chan in Fufeng suddenly retreated.
Only the regent Liu Yu, instead of worrying at the moment, was still calm and prepared for the march in a meticulous and orderly manner.
In the hall, just as Liu Yu sat down, Liu Zunkao walked in.
"Your Majesty, there is no definite news yet. It seems that the Qi army has not found any trace of Liu Bobo." Liu Zunkao clasped his fists at Liu Yu and said.
Liu Yu nodded, and then asked, "How is the acquisition of farming cattle?"
Liu Zunkao felt a little difficult.At first there was only Liu Bobo, and Liu Yu planned to divide his troops to attack, but now that Qi's [-] troops entered Guanzhong, Liu Yu went out of his way and asked him to buy farm cattle around Fufeng.Now it has only been arranged for a day or two, and the number of acquisitions is extremely small.Seeing Liu Yu asking at this time, Liu Zunkao was a little surprised, but it could be seen that Liu Yu attached great importance to this matter.
Therefore, he replied calmly: "All the surrounding counties have been arranged. Buy a farm cattle with a hundred shi of military rations or the same amount of gold and silver. But ordinary people regard cattle as their lives, and now there is little effect. Now they are kept in captivity in the city. There are only about twenty cows in the pasture."
Liu Yu frowned slightly when he heard this. Although other places did not know the situation, it was so difficult to recruit cattle in Fufeng County, the main agricultural production area in Guanzhong. It is conceivable that other places may not be much better.
For the era of labor shortage, cattle are a sharp weapon to make up for the shortage of population.People, unless it is absolutely necessary, who will sell the cattle.Although there is a lot of grain for a hundred shi, more grain can be produced with oxen.
"No, at this rate, I'm afraid that the Qi State has occupied the land of Yongzhou, and they haven't been able to get all the cattle. Starting today, they will be forcibly confiscated. To defeat the enemy, you have to rely on these cattle. If you don't have all the cattle, What shall we use to defeat the enemy. Now is an extraordinary time, and we should do extraordinary things. When necessary, we can be tougher. If it arouses public anger, after the war, this king will use compensation to appease the situation.” After Liu Yu thought about it, he still planned to use the method of fishing in the dry lake.
No matter what, as long as you can defeat the enemy and regain the lost ground, a little sacrifice is worth it.
Naturally, Liu Zunkao had no objection.
Outside Fufeng City, He Wuji was exhausted and galloped all the way. He had encountered countless times of life and death. Fortunately, he was so lucky that he finally came to Longxi, and he would be able to meet the king after a short drive.
As he was walking, several people suddenly appeared in front of him.
The leader is an old man with gray hair, and the rest are young and strong young men.Behind the boys, there is a strong bull.Whether it is the old man or the young man, there is a sense of sadness and reluctance on their expressions.
He Wuji was a little puzzled, stepped forward, raised his fist when he got close and said, "Dare to ask this old man, why did you lead the cattle into the city?"
The old man didn't know what he was thinking before, but when He Wuji came to the money, he found him and was shocked, and then he saw He Wuji's strength and strength, and he couldn't help being afraid.Bending down, he said, "Duke Yong ordered that every village collect all the cattle and send them to the city. The old man has only one cow in his house. If he sends it over, he doesn't know what to do in the future."
Although He Wuji is a general, he also knows some farming.
The world is in chaos, and a large number of men have to be recruited into the army, which also leads to a sharp decline in the young and strong labor force.This situation was especially evident in Qin and Han Dynasties.
When Liu Bei was alive, he could only use farming cattle to make up for the lack of numbers. He even issued an order prohibiting anyone from slaughtering farming cattle, and those who eat beef should be punished by beheading.
Now, Duke Yong actually wants to collect farm cattle. Isn't this self-destruction and self-destruction?
Thinking of this, the nameless fire in He Wuji's heart quickly rose, and he didn't care about that much, so he rode his horse and galloped towards Fufeng.
Under Liu Yu's strong promotion, even though the people everywhere were full of resentment, they could only sacrifice their cattle with tears in their eyes.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had some conflicts, after Liu Yu explained all the reasons, they could only acquiesce in his behavior.
Inside the prefect's mansion, Liu Yu and Guan Zhang sat opposite each other, with some smiles on their faces.
"I didn't expect there to be so many cattle in Fufeng." Liu Yu was filled with emotion.
"You kid has completely emptied our old background. If we can't win, you and I will have no face to face the people of the world." Guan Yu replied in a tone taught by an elder.
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Two uncles, don't worry, the Fire Bull Formation is a lost tactic of the Warring States Period. Even though Chen Qingzhi is super capable, it is impossible to expect us to have such a tactic."
"By the way, are the sharp swords on the horns ready?" Zhang Fei asked suddenly.
Liu Yu stood up slowly and said: "Since the two uncles are worried, how about we go and have a look together?"
"Okay..." The two stood up with smiles, and were about to leave when a servant came in quickly at the door, bowed to the three of them and said, "There is a man outside the door who is making trouble. If you act like this, the country will surely perish."
Liu Yu asked: "It must be where the corrupt scholars came from. The two uncles don't need to pay attention to it. Only when we defeat Qi Jun and Liu Bobo, these people will know the power of this move."
Guan and Zhang were persuaded by Liu Yu a long time ago, and it was because of their consent that they helped Liu Yu start such a farce.
