Shu Chen

Chapter 480 Melancholy

Before the autumn harvest, the fields were destroyed and the cattle and sheep were seized, which was a devastating blow to Li Shu's livelihood.

For Hu Zun, who was ordered to defend Longdong, it was an early warning that the county mansions might fall into a crisis of food shortage and the Han army was about to attack.

Now that he is an official in General Pingxi, he does not lack the vigilance in times of peace when it comes to the deployment of military disputes.

For example, Ni Shu, who is known for his benevolence and righteousness, actually did such a bad act, in his eyes, it was Scaru's strategy to attack the fortress.

Because as long as he shelters these Qianghu tribes and the Han family and Li Shu in the city, the order in the city will inevitably become chaotic, and even induce conflicts and increase the pressure on the guards; Quickly depleted.

At that time, Bi Baopu only needs to guard the city for a few months after the autumn harvest, and the city will be destroyed due to the exhaustion of food and fodder.

Therefore, he quickly made a decision.

It is to claim to these displaced people that there is no surplus food and houses in the city for them to survive the autumn and winter, and only the relevant Chinese side has the ability to provide relief, so that they can spontaneously go south to find a way to survive.

And he will send Liao Zuo to inform the county towns or garrison along the way in advance, so that they will not be stopped or detained as Liu Min.

In this regard, the response of the Han family Li Shu was better.

Although they knew that after going south, the whole family would become farmers in Wei State.

But in the face of starvation and freezing to death, they had no better choice.

But the opposition of those Qianghu tribes was quite fierce.

They are used to being unrestrained, and they know that if they enter Guanzhong, they will definitely be registered by the Wei State, and they will bear the heavy taxes and corvees of the Wei State from then on!
Not to mention that Wei Guo did not protect them.

Yes, Hu Zun rejected the request to send troops to Yuezhi City to seek justice for them, completely ignoring their previous sentiments of sending their clansmen north to bring them back from the Kushui River Valley!
In other words, these Qianghu tribes felt that the reputation of the Andinghu family was no longer trustworthy.

In fact, Hu Zun is really helpless.

Nishu Xiliang iron cavalry is dormant outside the city. Wouldn't he send troops out of the city to die?

Even if these Qianghu tribes swear by it, their clansmen plus Wei's infantry are enough to prevent the Xiliang iron cavalry from finding an ambush opportunity.

Hu Zun scoffed at this.

If they could fight against the Xiliang iron cavalry, why were they sent for help like bereaved dogs!

In desperation, he had no choice but to reject the Qianghu tribe's request on the grounds that he was responsible for defending the city and could not go to war; Qi came to Longdong to guard, if they did not go south again, they might be treated as refugees or disorderly people according to the law.

Such an approach is naturally unconvincing.

A small number of tribes went south as promised, and nearly half of the tribes found hidden valleys and valleys for women and children to hide, and then turned into horse thieves to loot everywhere. .

Surprisingly, a small group of tribes went west to Chaona County to seek shelter from the Han army.

Perhaps, as Wei's vassals, they felt that Wei's betrayal was more difficult to accept than the Han army's attack.

In other words, they obeyed the survival instinct of relying on the strong: Wei State, which is sitting in a rich place in the world, was attacked by the Han army until it was powerless to fight back, and it was not enough to protect them.

Hu Zunzi didn't know such contempt.

When all the Qianghu tribes and the Han family and Li Shu had left, he finally resolved the crisis of defending the city. He recorded the whole story in detail in a book and sent it to Guanzhong and Sima Yi, and claimed that he could hold on to the city without any worries. There is no need to send Wuhuan Tuqi to Longdong anymore.

There are no villages outside the city of Gein.

Regardless of whether the Xiliang iron cavalry of the Han army continued to stay, there was no threat to the city.

And Xue Ti, the guard stationed at the mouth of the valley, when he learned that the Xiliang iron cavalry was invading Longdong, he had already supervised the army to go north, and it happened to meet the Qianghu tribe and the Han army Li Shu who were going south along the Jingshui River Valley.

Therefore, I also wrote a letter with Sima Yi.

Instead, he claimed that he would assign the soldiers and guards to Zuo Fengyi, so that Sima Yi would not have to worry about spawning refugees and disrupting the rear.

He also persuaded Sima Yi not to allow Wuhuan Tuqi to divide his troops to Longdong, lest Scaru's move was to divert the tiger away from the mountain to harass Longdong and let Wei divide his troops, causing loopholes in the Guanzhong defense line.

After all, Bi Nishu is near Yangcheng, and there are still five thousand cavalry from General Xiaoqi Zhao Guangbu!

After Sima Yi got the letter from Hu Zun and Xue Ti, he had nothing to say.

What Hu and Xue could predict was not difficult to see through with his wisdom, and he had no intention of sending Wuhuan suddenly to the north.

There is no need to worry about the gains and losses of such small fights in the battle of the country.

Wei Guo, who is on the defensive, can't commit "little intolerance" and disrupt the deployment of various defense lines.

Moreover, knowing Luoyang Cao Rui's strategy of "defeating the thief Wu first and then defending against Shu", he is now waiting for the outcome of the Huainan War to see if the Luoyang Chinese Army has the ability to enter Guanzhong to help in the war in the future, and then decide whether to Change the strategy of Yushu.

Yes, the Huainan front is already tense and imminent!

However, since Jiangdong sent envoys to Han last year and agreed that the two countries would go to the north at the same time, Sun Quan urged all the ministries to make preparations.

By the time of Xia June, the governor Lu Xun had already deployed various ministries to besiege Shouchun City.

This time, Sun Quan also did not personally supervise the troops.

Instead, he transferred to Lujiang County in the north of the Yangtze River, claiming that he would personally be busy with the autumn harvest to ensure food and fodder for the soldiers of the various ministries.

It can be regarded as a means of boosting morale and having self-knowledge.

However, God did not favor him.

When Governor Lu Xun arrived at Shouchun City and he arrived at Lujiang County, Zhuge Jin and Lu Dai who were guarding Jingnan wrote letters.

It's not that Wei Guo took action on the Jingxiang front.

It was Pan Jun who died of illness.

This is something everyone in Jiangdong had expected.

Ever since the former governor Pan Jun went to Jingshan to plunder the barbarians to enrich the population, and was defeated by Xia Houxian of Wei State and Wuhuan Tuqi, the governor of Qianhong, and returned with only 2000 people left, he was often depressed and suffered from frequent illnesses. up.

But he died at this time, which still made Sun Quan very sad.

Not only is he sad for the loss of an important minister in Wu State, but he is also worried about the stability of Jingnan.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, the land of Jingnan was won by breaking the covenant. No matter whether they were scholars or barbarian tribes, they all had a heart of disobedience to Wu.Even if the Han and Wu kingdoms had joined forces after the Battle of Yiling, they could not prevent county rebellions or barbarian rebellions.

And Pan Jun, who was born in Jingnan, was the person he relied on to stabilize Jingnan County.

At the time when he was attacking Huainan with an army of the whole country, Pan Jun's death may induce some people with aspirations to riot.

In particular, most of Pan Jun's soldiers lost in Jingshan belonged to the Jingnan aristocratic family, and the attack on Huainan now benefits the Wu aristocratic family.
