Shu Chen

Chapter 260 Qing Ye
Jia Xu and Pang Hui stood side by side, watching Li Jian who was escorted by the cavalry go away.

Unsurprisingly, Li Jian, who returned from the assassination, rejected Wei Guo's offer to be appointed as an official on the grounds that he was "inexperienced and incompetent", and insisted on not accepting Jia Xu's gift of wealth.

This made Jia Xu a little frustrated.

In his plan, he wanted to use Li Jian's assassination to exaggerate the conflict between Hexi and Bashu, and encourage other scholars to join the army to fight against Shu.

However, in the few words of the conversation, he still keenly grasped some military sentiments.

For example, when Li Jian was released, Zheng Pu did not show up.

For example, the Jiangwei tribe of Shu who was originally in Wuting Nishui River Valley has already led the army back to the fortress of Yuyin.

The follow-up army from Bashu is about to arrive - when Li Jian left, there were countless soldiers outside the fortress of Yuyin City who were building camps in full swing.

The battle to determine the ownership of Liangzhou is about to begin.

"Overlord, the army against Shu is approaching. If not, I will lead the cavalry to Jincheng the next day, right?"

Pang Hui, who had no liking or dislike for Li Jian, took the lead to look away, waved his hand to keep the subordinates around him away, and pleaded with Jia Xu in a low voice.

Leading the horse back to Jincheng is not to defend it.

It was the strategy that Wei Ping and Jia Xu had set up long ago: fortify the wall and clear the country.

Jincheng County, benefiting from the irrigation of the great river, is suitable for farming and animal husbandry. This year's wheat fields are not yet mature. If they are not mowed first, they will become food for the enemy when the Han army arrives.

Take the lead to mow, although it cannot be used as army food, it can be eaten by war horses.

During wartime, if the war horses were not fed with grain and fodder, they would lose their fat and lose their combat power. Most of the cavalry under the command of Cavalry Governor Pang Hui came from the Qiang and Hu tribes who lured them with profit. Wei Guo naturally wanted to guarantee the food for the war horses.

As for Jincheng County, where there is no autumn grain storage, how will the common people survive the winter? Wei Ping will follow the wartime decree to confiscate all the grain in the city and store it in a centralized manner.

Yes, Li Shu needs help in defending the city.

In this way, we can passively gain the heart of "same hatred and hatred" in the whole city, and stimulate the greatest potential of defending the city;

Even Wei Ping suggested that Pang Hui keep some cavalry teams to hide outside the city.

After the Han army arrived, they waited for the opportunity to pretend to be the Han army and dug the tombs outside the city and burned the dead bodies, trying to imitate Tian Shanshou Jimo's plan in the past to inspire the hearts of the soldiers in the city.

Anyway, Wei Jun didn't dig his grave once or twice.

Even the general Hao Zhao, who died of illness not long ago, once dug the grave and took the coffin as an attack tool.

However, this strategy was blocked by Yang Fu's stern words.

Even Jia Xu disagreed.

Because Wei Ping is from Jingzhou, there is no need to avoid criticism from the scholars of Liangzhou, but Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei Guzang, needs to consider the reputation of the family.

"Forget it, let's go."

Thinking for a while, Jia Xu nodded lightly, and did not forget to remind him, "When the wheat is harvested, if the people of Jincheng also snatch it, don't fight with it. The big war is coming, so don't disturb the hearts of the people. If there is still, what you want to mow You can't do it all with Ke Wu and the others, so leave thirty thousand stones and bring them back with you."

Reserve [-] shi?
Pang Hui, who had planned to take the order to leave, couldn't help but pause.

After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help asking, "Is the governor... intending to stay with the left side of the Southern Huns?"

The [-] cavalry sent by Liu Bao, the Zuoxian king of the Southern Xiongnu, to Xiutuze belonged to the headquarters of Hu Boju, the former Hun lord of Wei Baosai, as the fulfillment of the old covenant of "sharing wealth and honor" between the two.

Therefore, Hu Bo, who moved the old, weak and livestock, is busy occupying the pastures and building the tribe's habitat, and is not enthusiastic about the upcoming war.

No matter how much Yang Fu and Jia Xu urged to prepare for the war, he delayed on the grounds of "settling the clansmen's overwintering matters first, so that the soldiers can follow the certificate without worry".

In this regard, all the generals in Hexi have slander, but they can't criticize or force them.

The soldiers of the Southern Huns who came from Shuofang County in Bingzhou were not under their control.

Therefore, Jia Xu thought of using the opportunity of war horses and food to invite Hu Boju to discuss the matter of dispatching troops again.

If he dares to evade again, don’t blame Jia Xu for being cruel and merciless—with his position as the prefect and the prestige of Guzang Jia’s family in Wuwei, he can still push the powerful families and the Kewu tribe to join forces to carve up this outsider. up!
Afterwards, it is enough to claim the guilt of the grassland survival law that the Qianghu tribes have disputes over the pastures.

Liu Bao, the virtuous king of Ren Zuo, knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what he was doing!

"Ah."

Jia Xu, whose mind was broken, did not hide his intentions, "At the moment of the war, those with different opinions must not stay, and let's take a look at it first."

"The warlord is decisive!"

Pang Hui, who understood, gave a heartfelt compliment.

During the years of stationing in Jincheng, he and Ke Wu have a very harmonious relationship.

Recently, I have heard Ke Wu complaining a lot, claiming that after the tribe was moved to Xiutuze, small-scale conflicts often broke out with Hu Bojuzi's staff.

In this regard, Pang Hui was naturally inclined to Ke Wu.

Without him, the most loyal cavalry under his command came from the Kewu tribe who had a deadly enmity with the Han army.

However, he still didn't leave, and asked again, "What does the warlord think, how should he deal with the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei?"

Compared with the Southern Huns, Tuoba Liwei, who also sent the young commander Dai Hu'a Langni to lead the troops into Laowei County in the name of helping the war, went too far.

In other words, Liu Bao finally accepted the official position conferred by the state of Wei, and he needed to take into account the nominal constraints; but Tuoba Liwei, who was supported by the state of Wei to fight against the Huns, sneered at the transfer order of the state of Wei.

For example, in recent days, Jia Xu sent envoys several times to invite Tuoba's tribe to discuss a coordinated operation, but Na Daihu'a Langni refused because he didn't get Tuoba Liwei's order and did not dare to act without authorization.

It fully embodies the domineering and domineering - Tuoba tribe Xianbei, not Wei Guo can order!
At least, the Wei army in Hexi can give orders.

For this reason, Jia Xu also invited Yang Fu to co-author a book and send it to Sima Yi in Guanzhong, asking him to urge Tuoba to make a little effort.

But Sima Yi's reply was very intriguing.

The book says:

"Why are you so angry! Whether the Hulu fights or not, it is not a trap for Wei, but a rebellion against Shu!"

With just a few words, the anger and anger in Jia Xu's heart melted away.

Just imagine, when the great war was about to start, if Nishu knew that Xianbei had sent troops to Naowei County, would Aneng ignore it?

At that time, even if the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei did not unite with the state of Wei, they would be attacked by the Han army because of "the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore and sleep"!

It also shared the pressure of Wei Jun, why bother to join forces with it?

Of course, Jia Xu didn't need to explain to Pang Hui about the relationship.

That's why, when he heard the words, he replied in a calm tone, "Although Bidaihu'a Langni is full of vigor, but if our army plans to set up the royal court of Tuoba Liwei, a neighbor of Weiwei County, we will not do it for fear of causing trouble. Got it."

"promise!"

Pang Hui responded with a loud voice, stepped back and saluted, "Overlord, I'm going to reorganize the army."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

At the same time, Jiang Wei, who had just led the army back to the city of Shuyin, galloped out with several followers.

He was going to see Wei Yan.
