Shu Chen

Chapter 265
Wuwei, Guzang County, Wei belongs to Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Jia Xu, who was surrounded by several followers, approached slowly.

From his stretched eyebrows and the inadvertent joy on his face, it can be seen that he is in a good mood these days.

In fact, it is exactly so.

Because the Han army moved.

But no one expected that it was the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei who had no entanglements with the Han army that kicked off the battle in Liangzhou.

However, after Jiang Weidu led the Qiang battalion cavalry back to the fortress of Yuyin, Jia Xu let the scouts touch the other side of the river and monitored the movement of the Han army day and night.

Yiran found out that for some reason, Bi Jiangwei led the cavalry back to Longyou.

At that time, Jia Xu, who was rewarded, was still puzzled.

How can there be any reason for the ranger scouts who are in charge of the military situation to leave when the war is approaching?

But only three days later, everyone in Hexi suddenly realized.

It turned out that the Han army was playing hard to get.

On the second day after Governor Jiang Wei's departure, Governor Ma Dai led the iron cavalry from Xiliang, which is famous for running thousands of miles, crossed the river under the cover of night, and raided the lingering village in the city with lightning speed. Tuoba tribe of Xianbei in Wei County.

Perhaps it was the departure of Jiang Weibu that made Dai Hu'a Langni, the Xianbei marshal, feel that the Han army was no threat.

Or, Dai Hu'a Langni felt that there was no intersection between the headquarters and the Han army. At the time when the Han and Wei dynasties were fighting for the front, the Han army would not pay attention to itself, so as to avoid extraneous problems and add an enemy!
The Xianbei Tuoba tribe, who didn't have much vigilance, waited until the "Han" character flags hunting in the wind came into their eyes, and then sounded the warning horn.

Therefore, the outcome has also ushered in a foregone conclusion.

Ma Dai led [-] Xiliang iron cavalry to drive there, as if entering a land without people.

And Dai Hua Langni, who had no time to gather the tribe to resist in a hurry, was also quite decisive.

Instead, let the tribe drive all the cattle, sheep and horses out of the pasture circle to hinder the pursuit of the Han army's cavalry, and he himself took his personal guards to escort the women and children away.

Fortunately, Ma Dai came rushing from a hundred miles away, and was trapped with one man and one horsepower, so he did not continue to chase and kill.

Instead, they collected more than [-] cattle and sheep and nearly a thousand horses raised by the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, and drove them back as trophies.

After returning from the war to count the losses, Dai Hua Langni almost wanted to vomit blood.

The casualties of the tribe were almost negligible, but the cattle, sheep and horses that depended on them were almost nonexistent.

With the sudden loss of so many cattle, sheep and horses, even if he could make a net to catch fish and shrimp in the big river, he could not support his tribe of nearly [-] people to survive for two months.

Not to mention that autumn is here.

Naturally, he couldn't continue circling around her.

However, just when everyone thought that Dai Hu'a Langni would inevitably lead his troops back to find Tuoba Liwei's shelter in misery, and was unable to threaten the Han army's Shuyin fortress, the development of the situation was eye-catching.

This tribal leader, who was leaned on by Tuoba Li slightly, only let two hundred riders escort the women and children home, and slaughtered all the remaining cattle and sheep as dry food, and brought nearly three thousand string control men, Sneaked into hiding outside the fortress of Yuyin City.

At that time, Wei Yan, the former general of the Han Dynasty, had already supervised the army.

The pontoon bridge across the river connected by rafts and small boats has just been built, and the army, food and fodder waiting to be transported across the river are piled up like a mountain, which can be clearly seen across the river.

Dai Hua Langni sent [-] people from his tribe to the Shuiquansha River in the Quwu Mountains (northeast of Quyin), and they all held fire. They took advantage of the night to make a lot of noise, and made thousands of horses to retaliate.

When the fortress of Shuyin was disturbed and the night guards of the Han army came to resist, the main force led by himself took advantage of the chaos and crossed the pontoon bridge from the southwest of the fortress of Shuyin, and robbed a barracks of the Han army hoarding ordnance!

The number is considerable.

According to rough statistics, there are nearly [-] swords and spears, more than [-] bows and crossbows, and more than [-] crossbow arrows.

It is said that after Dai Hu'a Langni attacked successfully and fled away, Wei Yan, the former general of the Han Dynasty, sent Ma Dai and Jiang Wei's cavalry to chase after him to no avail.Even Zhang Bao, the chief general who guarded the fortress of Yuyin, the Pingbei general Zhang Bao after the meritorious service of the Han Dynasty, was whipped several times by the furious Wei Yan in public.

Shi Feiyi, the commander of Lai Suijun, persuaded the generals not to be too harsh before the battle, and Wei Yanfang gave up on the marching method.

What happened next, but the Wei Jun scouts couldn't spy on it.

Because the Han army had made amends, Ma Dai and Jiang Wei's two cavalry soldiers patrolled the other side of the river day and night, and no one within ten miles of the fortress of Shuyin could approach.

However, Jia Xu was overjoyed when he heard about it.

He, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has already deduced a lot of information from it.

For example, in order to guard against the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, the Han army not only tightened the streets in the Shuiquan Shahe area, but also set up two small sieges across the river along the direction of the siege.

Jia Xu couldn't figure out whether Xianbei's young commander, Dai Hu'a Langni, would clash with the Han army again.

But he knew that with the establishment of the two small garrisons of the Han army, the strength of the Han army that invaded Jincheng County would be reduced by at least two thousand!

And the banner flying in the encirclement is Zhang Bao, the chief defender of Quyin.

Correct!
The Han army was attacked by Xianbei to make up for it, and Ba Pu, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, still did not show up.

Perhaps, if he was assassinated, he would be injured even if he was not dead?
Jia Xu made a firm statement secretly.

Afterwards, this matter was thrown out of the sky.

As Yang Fu said, with the approach of the army led by Wei Yan, it doesn't matter whether Bi Scarpu is seriously injured or not to the situation in Hexi.

The most urgent task at the moment is to use the fact that the Han army attacked Xianbei for no reason to arouse the hatred of the Qiang and Hu tribes.

If you can send an envoy to find Dai Hu'a Langni, then discuss the joint efforts of the two parties.

For example, it can be claimed that the Han army always despised the Qianghu tribe, and even the unrelated Tuoba tribe of Xianbei was attacked. If they occupy the Hexi Corridor, all Qianghu tribes will face hardships.

The effect is quite remarkable.

Being lured to come to the Qianghu tribe, the leaders of the various tribes respected Jia Xu more after learning about the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.

Hu Bo Juzi, the southern Xiongnu who had always been aloof, had already led his people from Xiutuze to join forces.

Lu Shuihu, who was treated harshly by the government, unexpectedly collected some cattle, sheep and grain for military use.

And some small tribes also claimed to be willing to lead their tribes to fight side by side with Jia Xu.

Naturally, Jia Xu politely declined.

Out of the caution necessary for the battle, he dared not respond, nor could he.

What if these Lu Shuihu aids are fake, but they actually have the intention of rebelling?
Only more than ten years have passed, and the hatred between the two sides is not so easy to eliminate.

Moreover, after forcing the Han army back to invade, he must also reward the Lushuihu small tribe for their meritorious service.

Such as the return of pasture fields, etc.

But those pastures have already been divided between the government and the local tyrants. If the division is redrawn again, won't those tyrants be alienated from Wei Guo, causing new turmoil?
Sincerely not desirable!
