Shu Chen

Chapter 492 Women's Clothes

Beidi County is one of the 36 counties established by Qin after the unification of the world.

After entering the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu expelled the Xiongnu to the north, and the territory of Beidi County once covered the entire Helan Mountain (Yinchuan Plain).

However, since Guangwu was restored to the Han Dynasty, "the city, the hills, the ruins, and the land were swept even more", which caused Beidi County to "migrate" three times to live in Zuofengyi County.

Today, Beidi County, which was established by the State of Wei, was divided into several counties from Zuo Fengyi and "returned to the real land".

It can be regarded as a kind of self-consolation without being expelled from the land.

Naturally, Xue Ti, Guan Qiujian, and others all knew that Zheng Pu's entry into Beidi County, as claimed by the scouts, was the Nishui (Malian River) River Basin, the habitat of Han survivors and Qianghu tribes who were not under the jurisdiction of the government.

Therefore, they also knew about Zheng Pu's intentions.

When Zheng Pu enters the muddy river valley, there are only three choices.

One, go north and enter Hetao.

Mudwater-Bitter River Valley has always been the road connecting Guanzhong to the Hetao Plain.After the news that Liu Bao of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei betrayed the Wei State, it is not impossible for the Han army to take the opportunity to take control of Hetao.

After all, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe had previously joined forces with the Han army.

And now that the battle in Guanzhong is at a stalemate, Wei's tens of thousands of troops are waiting in battle. It is not easy for the Han army, which is at a disadvantage, to take control of Chang'an. With Jiangdong already unable to invade, the Han army wants to open up a new battlefield to contain Wei's troops. , is also a feasible deployment schedule.

However, that's just not very likely.

Because the Hetao Plain has been abandoned by the Central Plains Dynasty for decades, even if the Han army is fully occupied, it will be restrained by the disputes and affairs of many Qiang and Hu tribes in a short period of time. Daibei and other places in the state.

The other is Zuo Fengyi who was committed by Beiluo sailors.

Walking east across the Nishui River Valley, it doesn't take long to reach Jushui, a tributary of Beiluoshui. The Beiluoshui originating from Monan meanders into Zuofengyi and joins Weishui at the confluence of Weishui and Dahe.
Yes, the distance between Beiluoshui and Tongguan is not far.

Marching like this seems to have violated the taboos of "going deep alone" and "fighting for a hundred miles, then capture three generals", but all generals with some common sense are so crazy.

But Xue Ti, Guan Qiujian and others were not surprised.

The fortress of Quyin could be captured by the Han army rushing thousands of miles from the rear, so what's so strange about Ba Pu going to the North Luoshui River Valley to attack Zuo Fengyi!
As for the lone army going deep, it is not worth mentioning.

Scar Pu dared to reveal the grain road under the eyes of the three places in Yangcheng, so it is understandable to continue to ignore the Hu Zun Department in Linjing County.

Gein doesn't need to guard the grain road.

Because Zhengguo Qu and Baiqu are both in the territory of Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng is already on the front line, most of Wei Guo's military bases in Guanzhong are located here.

In the same way, this place is also the main grain storage place of Wei State in Guanzhong.

If Scar Pu joined Zuo Fengyi, there would be no need to worry about food and fodder.

Even if you can't grab food and fodder in Zuo Fengyi's territory, you can go to Hedong County, which is famous for its wealth, from Pujindu to eat.

Yes, it was very difficult for the State of Wei to prevent Scar Pu from entering Zuo Fengyi in the North Luoshui Valley.

After Beiluoshui entered the flat Zuo Fengyi, many tributaries spread out. Even if Xue Ti and Guan Qiujian rushed to deploy defenses in advance, they could not guard all the roads.

Unless, Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, dispatched [-] to [-] troops from Beiyuan to deploy defenses layer by layer.

But in this way, wouldn't it become a part of Nishu's army, restraining nearly half of the troops in Guanzhong?

How could the main forces under the supervision of Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan not take the opportunity to enter Beiyuan, occupy Qishan and Wuzhangyuan, and isolate the western part of Youfufeng from Guanzhong!

Furthermore, don't think that after Ba Pu rode nearly [-] steps into Zuo Fengyi, he would not be able to drive to Tongguan for a long time.

In recent years, the corvee labor of Li Shu in the counties and counties of Guanzhong has been too frequent~~
In addition, in order to supply the army of Yongliang, he also ruled the people with military law, turning all the common people into "anonymous and real" farmers, and the people's grievances have long been dormant.Once Scarpu soldiers enter Zuo Fengyi, and spread the light and thin Fu against Shu, seize the mansion to open a warehouse to release grain to Li Shu, and promise to draw fields and grant land, etc., there will be countless Li Shu who will follow the rebellion!

In other words, Ba Pu must not be allowed to set foot in the North Luoshui River Valley.

Otherwise, once Zuo Feng Yimin riots, the Yongliang army on the front line of Youfufeng may have unimaginable consequences.

Sun Tzu said, "If you go forward and cannot be defended, you will rush to the void; if you retreat and cannot be pursued, you will be too fast. Therefore, if I want to fight, even though the enemy has a high fortification and a deep ditch, I have to fight with my fighters and attack what I must save." also!"

Of course!

This is also Zheng Pu's last optional strategy for entering the Nishui River Valley: forcing the Wei army to come out to fight in the field.

However, Xue Ti, Guan Qiujian and others were under the "unbearable burden", and the only choice was to "know that there are tigers in the mountains, but go to the tiger mountains", and the warlord went north to the Nishui River Valley to pursue Zheng Pu's troops.

Naturally, even if they are forced to send troops, they must try their best to ensure that they do not go to war.

For example, after the warlords went, they could slowly rank behind Zheng Pu's troops, relying on their superiority in strength to make the Han army afraid of the consequences of losing both sides, and dare not fight fiercely easily.

With such thoughts in mind, after discussing with Guan Qiujian and others, Xue Ti quickly made a dispatch.

Instead, the four thousand Wuhuan cavalry led by the governor Qianhong went ahead to spy on the current location of Zheng Pu's troops and to guard against the danger of being ambushed along the way. After joining forces with Hu Zun from Linjing County, he continued to pursue the Han army.

Yes, in order to ensure an absolute superiority in military strength, not only Xue Ti sent [-] soldiers, but even Hu Zun's department would supervise and lead the [-] elite infantry originally stationed in Gaoping City.

In this way, there is no need to worry about changes in the rear.

For example, in order to guard against the Liu Yin and Wang Ping troops of the Han army who were camped in the Jingshui River Valley, Xue Ti would write a letter to reply to Chen Ben in Zuo Fengyi, asking him to immediately send [-] soldiers to Qi County to help guard them to ensure nothing goes wrong.

And Linjing County also has proper arrangements.

The Han army did not besiege the city. After Hu Zundu led half of the troops out of the city, the remaining [-] county soldiers were able to protect the city from chaos.

Moreover, there were still [-] Wuhuan Tuqi who did not participate in the pursuit.

Under the leadership of Xia Houxian, they will always monitor the military situation around Linjing and Qixian County, and deter the Qianghu tribe and Haoyou's family in the Yuezhi City area of ​​Linjing from joining forces with the Han army Xiliang cavalry. Don't let them be encouraged by Nishu to go south to Lincheng, intimidating the morale of the garrison soldiers in Linjing City.

The total strength of our army is about [-] cavalry, and it is twice as strong as against Shu, which is enough to make Bapu dare not fight against it, right?

Even if he is ignorant of current affairs, our army can reject him!

This is what Guanqiu Jian thought.

And Qian Hong, who had long been the supervisor of the cavalry as the vanguard, felt that the victory was extremely profitable.

Wuhuan Tuqi is a well-known cavalry in the world, and has almost no defeats. Compared with the long-renowned Xiliang iron cavalry, it is also among brothers!
He thought to himself that even if the cavalry under his supervision couldn't break through the Xiliang iron cavalry, they could still entangle them; creating opportunities for Wei's infantry to break through the Nishu infantry.

Hu Zun and Guanqiu Jian have more than [-] troops together, and they can all be called elites!

And the infantry that followed Bapu into the Nishui River Valley were only two and five hundred heavy infantry.

With such a disparity in strength, fighting with blood and courage in the wild, if the Wei army is still defeated, then he feels that Wei Guo will not be able to stop Ni Shu from entering the Guanzhong.

Besides, Qianhong feels that Wei Guo still has an advantage.

Now it is February in February, and the Han army has sent troops for a month, and they entered the Nishui River Valley from Wushi County hundreds of miles away, which can be called exhausted.

The Wei army, who came after waiting for work, can live here, and there is no need to rush to fight after catching up with the Han army.

Instead, slowly sit on the side, waiting for the scaru army to run out of food and fodder, the soldiers are exhausted, and the morale is low after the soldiers have been out for too long, before looking for an opportunity to fight.

In this way, it is not difficult to break it!

He was even able to capture or kill Scar Pu on the spur of the moment, a shameful defeat of the Wei State!
It can also change the generals of Yongliang and the lethargy and lack of enterprising spirit of the decision makers. The soldiers will be united, and everyone will fight to die, and drive Nishu out of Guanzhong.

With the enthusiasm in his heart, he led Hong Duqi to the north very quickly.

Three days later, Wuhuan Tuqi, who was also good at running, discovered the traces of the Han army.

In other words, Zheng Pu did not intend to hide his whereabouts or lay an ambush along the road, but calmly waited for the Wei army to come.

The deployment before the war was still very bold.

Or it could be called arrogance!

Instead, choose a place that is very open, where the terrain and terrain can be seen at a glance, and there is no ambush.

A small camp surrounded by WISCO carts and luggage carts fell against the water. From the flying flags, it can be distinguished that this is the Three Thousand Banners of Jufu Superintendent; A camp was separated by about five li.In addition, this barracks only has luggage carts placed on the sides and rear, and the front is empty, so that people can directly see where the nest carts and large banners commanded by the battle are located.

There are no deer villages or horse refusals in the two buildings, no trenches, and no defensive measures such as digging pits or burying barbed wire!

The intention is obvious, and the Han army has no plans to stick to the camp.

As a mobile force, the three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry were on standby about ten miles away from these two barracks.

With such an arrangement, Qian Hong thought he had heard wrong when he learned that the scouts were coming to tell the time.

After confirming with many teams of scouts several times, I still didn't believe it, so I led the cavalry to look at it from a distance for a long time before I believed it.

Bi Baopu is so arrogant!
To think that our Wei army is innocent?
There are less than [-] people on foot and horses, but they still meet the enemy in three separate ways. It is not good to deceive our Wei soldiers with swords and spears!

In an instant, endless anger filled Qianhong's chest and abdomen.

However, he did not lose his mind.

Instead, they dispatched more Wuhuan Tuqi to act as scouts, spied on all within a radius of [-] miles, and confirmed that the Han army had not invited the local Qianghu tribe for help, and then rushed back to report to Guanqiu Jian and Hu Zun. report.

Even after talking about the military situation, he added another sentence, "General and envoy, that scarpu has insulted our army too much! If we don't attack him, the soldiers will lose their spirit! Before the battle, our cavalry will be able to drag the soldiers against Shu." Xiliang iron cavalry will buy time for the general and envoy to defeat the enemy. If not, I will come to see you!"

In this regard, Hu Zun and Guan Qiujian glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in their eyes.

They all realized Zheng Pu's entrustment.

It's nothing more than angering the generals of the Wei army and competing for a battle.

After all, if the Wei army rushed to the camp and confronted them instead of fighting, he would gradually fall into the predicament of running out of food and fodder and had no choice but to retreat slowly.

And Scarpu succeeded.

Qian Hong's sentence "If you don't hit it, I'm afraid the soldiers will lose their vigor" is the voice of all Wei soldiers.

In any case, the disparity between the enemy and ourselves is so huge, and the Han army is so arrogant that it will humiliate itself to death. If they dare not fight, I am afraid that the phrase "Gao Diliang will be as timid as a strider" will become the two of them from now on. Biography asserted.

"Leading the general Guolie, commendable!"

Hu Zun, who had a higher official position, clapped his hands in praise, and said with emotion, "However, you should be cautious in military struggles. How to deploy our army will be determined after I and Guanqiu envoy and supervisor come to observe the next day. Well, if As General Qian said, I will let Ba Pu know the strength of our army!"

Hearing this, Qianhong retreated satisfied and continued to monitor the Han army.

But as soon as he left, Guanqiu Jian frowned and asked tentatively, "The general wants to fight?"

The two of them reached a consensus when they came together, but they planned to slowly exhaust the Han army until it ran out of food and then pursue it, and not to attack unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Whether to fight or not, we will decide the next day."

Hu Zun shook his head slightly, and then sighed again, "Zhong Gong heard it just now. Our soldiers swore to come here, and if that Ba Pu is humiliated and we don't fight before the battle, I'm afraid we will lose our morale."

"Ugh"

Guanqiu Jian also sighed and said nothing more.

The two were silent for a while, but Guan Qiujian acted high-spirited, and said loudly, "General, although the soldiers in Shu are sharp, our army can also be elite! If Bapu is really arrogant and divides his troops into the camp, it may not be possible for our army to encourage the soldiers to fight. Can't beat it!"

"That's a great word!"

Involuntarily, Hu Zun laughed.

Because he wanted to fight Ni Shu in his heart.

Ever since he was implicated by Deng Ai and was attacked by Ni Shu in Gaoping City, he has always had the thought of avenging shame in his heart.

Now that Zheng Pu is taking risks and even violating the taboo of military strategists, if he does not dare to fight with all his strength, he will no longer have the face to supervise the army in the future.

It's night and there is no more words.

The next day, Hu Zun and Guanqiu Jian rushed to the army and camped ten miles away from the Han army.

During this period, the Han army dispatched several teams of Xiliang iron cavalry to watch from a distance. After they chose a place to set up camp, a cavalry came slowly, put down some things about two hundred steps away, and shouted, "My general!" There are books, and I will give you something to the governor of your ministry" before turning and leaving.

Hu Zun and Guan Qiujian were both surprised by this.

I've heard for a long time that Bapu has the reputation of "revenge on the grievances", but I've never heard that before the war, he still had the style of a gentleman who gave gifts or sent letters of war!
When someone went to fetch it, they found that it was a letter and a wooden box.

With surprise, Hu Zun took the letter and opened it to read.

In an instant, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he threw the letter to the ground fiercely, drew his sword and pointed in the direction of the Han army camp and roared like thunder, "Baby boy, I swear to kill him!"

Guan Qiujian on the side was stunned.

Puzzled, Shorty picked up the letter and read it, his face was also livid.

The book said: "Someone is not talented. He has never been defeated since he was in charge of the army. Now that Chen Bing is here, I don't think you dare to come to fight. Therefore, I will give you a woman's clothes, jewelry, rouge, etc., for you to close the camp and take care of the red makeup. "

Yes, Zheng Pu sent a set of women's clothes in the box, and carefully prepared all the jewelry, rouge and other things.
