please make me king

Chapter 1123 He Huang
Lanzhou, the ancient Western Qiang land.Longxi County of Qin Dynasty, Jincheng County of Han Dynasty, later Han, Wei and Jin because of it.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Lanzhou because of its location in Lanquan County.

Although there were repetitions afterwards, it was finally named Lanzhou.

Lanzhou controls the river as a danger, separating the Qiang and Rong.Since the Han Dynasty, Hexi Xiong County and Jincheng are the most.

During the prosperous period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Lanzhou was the key to chasing Hehuang.After Guangde, Lanzhou was lost to Tubo, and Xiliang was no longer the king's land.

Mu Yan of the Song Dynasty once said: "If Lanzhou is abandoned, Xizhou will be in danger, and Xizhou will be in danger, and Guanzhong will be shaken."

"Tang lost Hehuang, if there is any trouble in the west, the police will go to Kyoto."

In human terms, if the rebel army wants to conquer Hehuang and Ganliang, it must rely on Lanzhou as its foundation.

And if you want to ensure the safety of Guanzhong, you also need to use Lanzhou as the frontier.

In short, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.As long as Lanzhou is there, it will not affect the overall situation of Shaanxi.

If there is a loss in Lanzhou, there will be no peace in Guanzhong.

Therefore, when Chen Changbing heard the report from the vanguard Wei Congyi that he had arrived in Lanzhou City, and that he had finished setting up security and defense, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"If Lanzhou is here, then Lintao is here; if Lintao is here, then Shaanxi is here. If Gan Liang is not in danger, the Lu family is not in danger!" Chen Changliang couldn't help laughing and said to the left and right.

During the development of the rebel army, Zhang Shun's ability has made great progress. After this experience, the generals under his command are not the same as Wu Xia Amen.

This Chen Changliang was determined to make some achievements, so he had done enough homework before going out to the expedition.

Entering Gansu Town from Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to taking Gongchang Mansion and Lintao Mansion on the south line, and then entering Xining Wei from Hezhou Wei; Ningxia Zhongwei on the north line, and entering Liangzhou along the side wall, the main road is from Pingliang Mansion, Jingjing Ningzhou, Huining, Anding, Jinxian, and then arrived in Lanzhou.

After arriving in Lanzhou, you can go west along the Huangshui River, pass the Nianbo Guarding Thousand Households, and arrive at Xining.

You can also go straight to Zhuanglangwei along the side wall of the inner line, and then pass through Liangzhou, Yongchang, and Shandan all the way to Ganzhou, the seat of Gansu.

Since the strategic location of Lanzhou is so important, do you think Lu Yunchang knows about it?

As a veteran general who has guarded Hexi for decades, he probably knows it too.

Originally, the Lu family, Dongqi, and Dongli chieftains together planned to seize the Huangshui Valley first, and then join forces in Lanzhou to block the rebel reinforcements, and then send troops to Ganliang, with the help of King Su, to write a letter to the "imperial court" to show loyalty.

The plans of the three families were very good, but as a result, the Dongqi and Dongli families suffered setbacks as soon as they raised their troops.

It turns out that the reason why the chieftains of Dongqi and Dongli are called this way is actually relative to Xiqi and Xili.

And the rhetoric of this thing is precisely relative to the position of Xiningwei.

The Dongqi and Dongli families are located in the east of Xiningwei. To be more precise, they are located in the east of Nianbo Shouyu Qianhu. In fact, they are very close to Lanzhou. This is why the Lu family took the initiative to marry them. one of the reasons.

However, the short distance does not mean that they will be able to attack directly.

It turned out that when Zhang Yingchen was the governor of Gansu, he had suffered a great loss in the Xining Mutiny and had a deep understanding of the strategic significance of the Xining Guard.

Therefore, after he led He Jin and Ge Lin back to Gansu, the first city to occupy was Xining to ensure that the situation in Hehuang could be stabilized.

Hehuang, sometimes called Huangshui Valley, as the name suggests, refers to the valley along the Huangshui River, a tributary of the Yellow River.

Its general range is west of Lanzhou, including Xining, Nianbo and other places.

Nian Bo guarded the Thousand Households, which is the later Haidong City.For future generations, these two cities alone occupy the population above the sixth floor of Qinghai, so we know their status.

And this place and the Hexi Corridor are located on the north and south sides of the Qilian Mountains, and the terrain is so high that it is easy to block the Hexi Corridor through the mountain passage.

Therefore, if you want to conquer the Western Regions, you must first conquer Hexi; if you want to conquer Hexi, you must first occupy Hehuang.

Even in addition to the influence on the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, this place is also the starting point of the "Tang-Tibet Ancient Road", and it is the place where Shaanxi must pass through to influence Tibet. How do you think Zhang Yingchen is willing to move?

Therefore, after Zhang Yingchen arrived in Xining, apart from telling the cities in Gansu to return to the rebel army, he never left, nailed here.

It doesn't matter that he was nailed to Xining, it immediately shocked the officers and soldiers of Xining guards and the chieftains of sixteen families.

Anyway, this Zhang Yingchen also served as the governor of Gansu Province for several years, and he has some prestige. With him here, who would not weigh it first before rebelling?
It doesn't matter what he weighed, but the chieftains of the Lu family, Dongli, and Dongqi turned against each other, and the chieftains of the other dozen or so families all sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and none of them followed them to raise troops, which was embarrassing.

The three families of Lu, Dongli and Dongqi each have no more than a thousand elite soldiers, and even if they recruit some local civilians and Fan soldiers, they are only two or three thousand. How can they not be stretched?

The combined Dongqi and Dongli families are only three or four thousand, how dare Zhang Yingchen's two men, He Jin and Ge Lin, dare to attack Lanzhou City grandiosely?

Dongqi Patriarch Qi Tingjian couldn't help but said to Dongli Patriarch Li Tianyu: "As a general, you don't think about victory, you first think about defeat."

"Nowadays the thieves are stalking the back like a sharp edge, how can they get it?"

"I would like to go west first and then go east. Even if we can't take down Xining City, at least we must capture Nianbo as our backing, so we can have no worries!"

Then Li Tianyu heard the words, and there was no good way.

They didn't expect that Zhang Yingchen would have such a big influence, which caused them to lose everything in one careless move.

"That's the only way to go. You have to act fast, and the thief must not be the first to react!" Li Tianyu finally nodded, making up his mind.

It's just that this determination made things worse.

Originally, the other [-] chieftains were watching the opera there, but Zhang Yingchen knew that Dongqi, Dongli and Lu clan rebelled, so he didn't dare to attack easily.

How do you know that these two families came to such a trick, and immediately roasted the toast near Nianbo on the fire.

From Qin, or from Ming, you all choose one!

If you want to choose nonsense, of course you should choose Cong Qin!

Of course, this is not because these chieftains understand righteousness, but that no matter what, Zhang Yingchen has five thousand elite soldiers watching him.

They are sandwiched between the two at this time, if it is Ming, wouldn't they bear the brunt of it, and the whole family would be cannon fodder?
Therefore, they just gritted their teeth, and while defending Nian Bo, they hurriedly sent someone to ask Zhang Yingchen for help.

He Jin was annoyed at their duplicity, and couldn't help admonishing them: "These people are just fools, why don't we go two days later to kill their spirits."

"It's not right, it's not right!" Ge Lin was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but hastily stopped him, "It's because of their double-faced attacks that they should send troops in time."

"If I wait until they turn into thieves, I will send troops later, it will be too late!"

Zhang Yingchen, governor of Gansu Province, was startled when he heard this, and quickly ordered: "He Jin stepped forward to listen to the order. I order you to immediately lead the cavalry to support Nianbo. There must be no mistakes."

"As long as you defend Nian Bo, you will be the first to put down the chaos this time!"
