Shu Chen

Chapter 508 Slightly Same
Gao Kai, the leader of the survivors of the Han family, and Dianmi, the great chieftain of the Qiang and Qiang families, returned home.

There is no anger in my heart.

Although Zheng Pu angrily reprimanded them, but considering the difficult situation of the big man, he finally gave in a little and agreed to send scholars and craftsmen to develop literature and teach them skills.

However, this matter has a premise.

Zheng Pu asked them to go to Wei to open up trade.

It's not that they pretend to be attached to Wei to act as spies and wait for an opportunity to turn against them. There are many wise men in Wei, and such inferior tricks can't fool them.

Instead, it is a real and simple request to make peace with Wei and resume business.

Let them tell Wei Guo truthfully about the process and progress of their negotiations with the Han army in the past two months, and what they saw and heard in Anding County.

This is the basis for winning the trust of Wei.

Then, they claimed that they could not reach an agreement in their discussions with the Han army. Therefore, under the consideration of being prepared for danger in times of peace and preparedness, they wanted to exchange weapons with Wei State with items such as war horses, cattle and sheep, horn tendons and leather, and actively prepare for war.

Yes, only transactions.

If Wei Jun shows the intention of soliciting, or claims to ask Luoyang Temple to confer official titles and other honors, he must be rejected immediately.

Even if the transaction between the two parties cannot be carried out because of this, it must be rejected categorically and sternly.

Gai is therefore the key to confusing Wei.

Zheng Pu just wanted to let the State of Wei know that after the Han army regained Anding County, they did not subdue the Han survivors and Qianghu tribes in the Northland as they wished; .

In other words, Zuo Fengyi of Wei State is still safe for the time being.

As long as Qi County in the Jingshui River Valley is guarded, Guanzhong does not need to worry about incoming attacks from the north.

As for Wei Jun, believe it or not
"These remnants and the Hu captives are both the first and the second generation. I secretly think that since he is not attached to the rebellious Shu, it is a good thing for our country Wei. If you don't agree to their request, it will be beneficial to open the army If the power is strong, it will be able to restrain the rebellion against Shu and make Longdong safe! It can also relieve the pressure on our country Wei's defense! This is my humble opinion, I hope the governor will check it himself."

In midsummer and May, Beiyuan was surrounded in the west.

Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang who was sitting alone, his eyes were glued to the last few sentences of Feng Yi's prefect Chen Shushu's letter, he twitched his beard without saying a word, silently recalling Zheng Pu's recent dispatches in his heart.

Yes, after the beginning of summer, the Han army in the counties of Longdong has undergone slight adjustments.

For example, after Wang Sheng, Wang Qi, and Zhou Dang's troops withdrew from the three places of Yangcheng, Ni Shu transferred many county soldiers from Longyou to garrison the fields, and Zheng Pu also asked Jufu's troops to escort many prisoners to Qian County to garrison troops. Repair cities and fortifications, etc.The ranger scouts have also received news in recent days, claiming that scattered figures of Xiliang cavalry have also appeared in the north of Yong County.

It seems to be a sign that the Scarpu tribe in the east of Longdong left the Jingshui River Valley to disturb Jingzhao, and turned to the Jianshui River Valley to go south to join forces with the Wei Yan tribe.

But think about it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Wei Guo garrisoned about [-] troops in Qixian County in the Jingshui River Valley, and the troops were strong enough to block all roads going south along the Jingshui River.And because of the lesson of Hu Zun's defeat and death in the previous battle, Wang Sheng will never go out of the city to fight fiercely with the Han army. It is tantamount to idiotic dreams to use the troops of the Bapu tribe to capture Qi County and go south.

Therefore, the assertion made by Feng Yi prefect Chen Ben is very reasonable.

It is difficult for Bi Bapu to recruit the adherents of the Northland and the Qianghu tribe for his own use, and it is also difficult for him to march from the North Luoshui River Valley to harass Zuo Fengyi, who is not a minister of Beidi County.

What's more, after Longdong changed ownership, Chen Ben also hired many Qianghu tribes in Shangjun and Xihe counties as eyes and ears with his wealth.

It's just that Sima Yi didn't dare to believe anything that seemed reasonable.

Without him, Bi Baopu can always be unexpected!

Every time the army fights to set up a plan, it can often reach what others can't!
Therefore, with this kind of fear, he had a hard time making a decision: Should he reduce the garrison in the north of Youfengyi and switch to defending the north of Qianshuiyong County?

Indeed, he is difficult.

In the current battle between Han and Wei, Gein has no chance of scheduling mistakes.

Ni Shu has already besieged Chen Cangcheng!

If we win another battle, the generals will come to the city of Chang'an!

With the blessing of the 400 years of prestige of the Han Dynasty, even if the walls of Chang'an City are as high as seven feet, they cannot hold on!
The victory or defeat of a war depends not only on military strength, national power and heritage, but also on people's hearts.

The State of Wei, which occupies the heart of the Central Plains, gathers almost all its forces in Guanzhong. If it can't defend Chencang City, how can it defend Chang'an?
Alas, that's all.

Knowing that Bapu is good at scheming, and the situation is already a matter of life and death, it is better not to take chances.

Sima Yi sighed quietly.

Put down Chen Ben's letter, write some ink to reply.

As for the trade request with the adherents of Beidi County, he asked Chen Ben to carry out the trade at his discretion.

Just as the number of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong increased, the demand for military supplies such as leather horns and tendons also increased. The opening of the military market was a good thing for Wei Guo.

As for whether these Northland adherents can bring trouble to Nishu~
If you have it, you will be happy, and if you can do it, you will have nothing to lose.

However, he did not agree to the proposal to reduce You Fengyi's northern garrison.

He asked Sun Li, who had just arrived in Guanzhong from Huainan, to transfer more than ten thousand Huaisi elites from the headquarters to camp in the Sishui River Valley on the west side of Yong County, in case Scaru might invade from the upper reaches of the Sishui River.And let Qianhong, the governor of Wuhuan Tuqi, send more rangers to strictly spy on the military situation in the west of Qixian County, and serve as the eyes and ears of Sun Li's Ministry.

This kind of scheduling can be called watertight, but it is not completely without drawbacks.

Such a move exacerbated the loss of grain and fodder in Guanzhong.

When the soldiers are stationed in the city, according to the different rotations and drills, the quota of food and fodder is also different.

However, once sent out to camp, each soldier must be rationed in full, and the food and fodder eaten by the civilian husbands during the transfer process is also an additional expenditure.Sun Li's departure of more than [-] Huaisi elites was a huge new pressure on the grain and fodder stocks in Guanzhong and on the Li Shu who were in hard labor.

Yes, Sima Yi, who has always adhered to the idea of ​​"the soldiers are self-sufficient and the country is enriched", has also begun to worry about food and fodder.

Now Wei Guo has too many soldiers and horses stationed in Guanzhong!
There are more than 150,000 infantry, more than [-] county soldiers, and countless farmers. The daily food and fodder alone is an astronomical figure.

Moreover, after he served as the governor of Yongliang, the Chengguo Canal, which was widened and lengthened in Beiyuan and used for farming, was no longer able to provide food and fodder due to the necessity of clearing the fields due to the confrontation between the two armies.

Only relying on You Fengyi and Jing Zhao cannot afford the food and fodder needs of the various ministries in Guanzhong.

Among them, Zuo Fengyi, who owns the irrigated fields of Baiqu and Zhengguoqu, should not be negligent!

This is the biggest reason why he dare not transfer away from You Feng Yi's defense.

Perhaps, it's just that the wise see the same thing.

Zheng Pu asked the adherents of the Northland to seek trade with the Wei State, and sent troops into Sixian County to defend them, all in preparation for attacking You Fengyi.

Li Tangmang, who was isolated in Xihe County, Bingzhou, sent someone back!
