Shu Chen

Chapter 495
"In Tianshui and Longxi, there are many mountains and forests, and the people use planks as their houses. And Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe are all close to Rong and Di, and they practice war preparations, improve their strength, and take shooting and hunting first. Therefore, "Qin Poetry" says "In its plank house"; also said "Wang Yu Xingshi, repairing my armored soldiers, and walking with his son". And the chapters of "Chariot", "Four Zai", and "Xiao Rong" all talk about the hunting of chariots and horses in the Han Dynasty. Xing, the sons of the good families of the six counties were selected for Yulin and Qimen, and they were appointed officials with talent and strength, and there were many famous generals."

——"Han Shu Geography II"

The border of the six prefectures is connected to the frontier fortress, where Hu and Han live together, and the people practice military warfare, known as Jingyong.

Since Emperor Xiaowen of the former Han Dynasty was ashamed of the Xiongnu's successive invasions, he took the talented and capable people from the six counties to gather elite soldiers for the country; The figure of a good family from six counties.

It was only later that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to the east, making Guanzhong and Liangzhou a paradise for the rebels;

Today, although the Great Han has returned to Longxi and Hanyang (Tianshui) counties and entered the Guanzhong, there is a hidden trend of the Han Dynasty thriving, but for the Lishu in the counties of Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe in the northern part of Guanzhong, there are not many. feeling.

Without him, there is nothing more sorrow than death.

People are not worthless!

Decades of war and abandonment, the endless blood and tears of two or even three generations, the blood that has cooled down long ago, cannot be made up for by the Han Dynasty saying "come back"!

Nor can it be encouraged by a single "rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty"!

Therefore, when Zheng Pu was appointed by the prime minister to be the superintendent of the military affairs in eastern Longdong, he had spent countless days and nights thinking about how to make the four counties in the northern part of Guanzhong reappear the heroic style of serving the country of "the good sons of the six counties".

One is that when the prime minister entered Wuzhangyuan for the first time, it induced the Wei army's retreat tactics.

With fewer troops than Wei State and weaker war background than Wei State, the big Han, as the attacker, must open up more routes to enter the pass in order to have more options for marching and more planning and deployment. The space, cracked Wei Guo's shrinking tactics, and made Wei Guo fall into the predicament of being defenseless.

In this way, the four counties in the north of Guanzhong that can attack Guanzhong from a condescending height, and obliquely insert Hedong County and Tongguan, are naturally the first choice.

The other is coveting the Hetao Plain.

Although the current national policy of the big man is to do everything possible to enter the Guanzhong and restore the old capital Chang'an.

But the Hetao Plain is also an inescapable part of the Han territory!
In the future, when the national power becomes stronger, we must send troops to restore the soil and declare Hanwei, so as to live up to the achievements of the bloody battles of the ancestors, and not to make the spirits of the nine ghosts of the ancestors sad!
Not to mention, Zheng Pu had already planned for a rainy day.

When he was in Hexi before, he recalled the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei from Mobei, which plunged the Hetao Plain of Wei into turmoil, just to show the preparations for the Han army to take over.And if in the future when the big men have the opportunity to enter the Hetao, the Hexi Corridor with poor land and few people will not be able to bear the burden of a long battle, but if there are four counties in the northern part of Guanzhong, then there is nothing to worry about.

Of course!

The people Zheng Pu invited to watch the battle were the marshals of the Qianghu tribe in Anding County and Beidi County, as well as the leaders of the villages of Han family survivors.

He wants to prove that no matter whether there is a disparity between the enemy and us, as long as the banner of the big man is in the direction, he is invincible!
Yes, he wanted to prove that the big man who rose from Bashu was not the one who made the good families of the six counties lose their glory, was full of blood and tears and was humiliated, but the original "Han with prestige and prestige, who led all nations, shined by the sun and the moon" , are all courtiers and concubines" big man!

A man of destiny!

There's nothing more reminiscent of the strong men of yesteryear than a great victory, isn't it?

There is nothing more exciting than the Chinese character banners flying in the wind above the enemy's bones, and the sons of the Han family holding swords and spears looking at all directions, which makes people more bloody and convinced that the flames will never stop, isn't it!

Therefore, in this battle, Zheng Pu took risks without hesitation.

And the person who replaced him and brought those tribal heroes and Han clan leaders to watch the battle was Hu Boju.

Last year he served as a guide for Xiliang iron cavalry to harass Longdong, and Zheng Pu left him in Yuezhi City, which he captured!
At that time, he thought that Zheng Pu's intention was to use his prestige and contacts as Lord Baosai of the Xiongnu of the Wei State in the past to gather an army to help the battle!But Zheng Pu warned him that he only needs to actively contact those Haoyou and tribal leaders, and just invite them to watch the battle today.

In this regard, Hu Boju has already done it.

Previously, the scouts of the Wei State discovered that the Qianghu herdsmen or Han family survivors who were wandering around, scattered and riding in groups of threes and twos, were the leaders who were invited to watch the battle.
In other words, as a leader or hero, it is very strange to come to watch the battle alone in danger.

Son of a daughter, can't you sit still~
But this time they came for a good reason.

The flames of war between the Han and Wei dynasties have spread into their habitats. Out of the common sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace, they are all eager to understand the situation in order to protect their tribe or clan.

On the other hand, it was the favor of the Han court to Hu Bo's position, which made them feel that the current Han is more worthy of attachment than Wei.

Hu Bo's eldest son has been given the surname Liu by Emperor Liu Chan!
He also served as the left supervisor of Yubayashi in the new Yubayashi army formed by the emperor, and was trained by the emperor Liu Chan as his confidant and future great Han general. 【Note 1】

In the end, it was because of the faint signs of revival of the great man over the past few years.

Although their blood has been cold for a long time, based on the struggle and achievements of their fathers and ancestors, they have the desire to come to see the military appearance of the great man.

Yes, they feel it is necessary.

If the Han army is defeated, then they will completely despair of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and will no longer feel sorry for the regrets of their fathers and ancestors.

Even, one day he will join Wei State and become a good family member of Wei State.

But if the Han army wins, it is open to discussion.

Because they are not stupid people, they can also vaguely guess the intention of the Han army to ask Hu Boju to invite them to watch the battle.

It's nothing more than wanting them to return to the people of the Han Dynasty and work hard for the Han court!

In this regard, they have little resistance.

The livelihood of people in the frontier has always been a struggle with life.

If the Great Han court has enough sincerity, has a promising future for them, and has the strength not to abandon them before.
But in the final analysis, they are Han Chinese after all.

Can belong to China's clothes again, who will make the descendants become left lapels one day!
Who would be willing to continue the glory of his father and ancestors, and to be a marquis and honor his wife, who would be a bandit and a citizen for a lifetime, and finally become that lonely ghost with nowhere to rely on!

What Zheng Pu had to do was not to let them despair.

It's not easy though.
