Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1465

Pei Xingjian and Li Chunfang, these chess pieces, in fact, no matter whether they vote for Cao, Zhao, or Zhu, these princes should not refuse.

It's just that Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin's side is not as valuable as Zhu Yuanzhang's here, so these talents finally chose Zhu Yuanzhang's here.

The land of the Central Plains is originally a flat road, which is a natural racecourse for cavalry.Among the princes of the world, Li Xiang's cavalry has an absolute advantage, let alone facing these princes of the Central Plains.

If one day really attacked the Central Plains, the princes of the Central Plains would basically not be qualified to fight Li Xiang in the field.

In addition, with the power of Dou Jiande, as long as this chess piece is really activated, whether it is used in the war against Hebei or the war against the Central Plains, this chess piece will be given to the opponent. Hit hard.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that as long as the chess pieces are used at the right time at this moment, they will have the power to change the situation of the battle or even establish the situation in one fell swoop.

Thirdly, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang controls Yangzhou's natural dangers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is normal to place chess pieces there.

Pei Xingjian's righteous backstab and the fact that he took so many people away also declared the official demise of Yuan Shu's forces.

Among Yuan Shu's territories, Chi You took the smallest one, occupying only a small half of Pei Kingdom. Of course, he was also the first one to leave.

Wu Wang Zhu Yuanzhang won the two small counties of Geyang and Yang'an in the southernmost part of Yuzhou. Although they are the two smallest counties in Yuzhou, compared with his efforts, this gain is definitely worth the money. I left Chen Guo and the half of the county to the north of Runan.

And the remaining Zhao Kuangyin naturally gained the most. Most of Peiguo was taken into his bag, Qiaojun and Ruyin were also taken into his bag. Zhao Kuangyin was among them.

So far, just in terms of territory, Zhao Kuangyin alone occupies half of the three states of Yan, Yu, and Xu in the Central Plains, and a little more.

Moreover, coupled with the continuous export of gold and silver and other resources from the Wa Kingdom, it also gave Zhao Kuangyin the possibility to integrate these new lands as much as possible.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao and Chi You not be wary of Zhao Kuangyin!After all, if any one of the two of them is taken alone, they may not be Zhao Kuangyin's opponent. If they want to be as powerful as Zhao Kuangyin now, they may have to join hands.

At this stage, for Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin, the most important thing is how to get Zhao Kuangyin down!

At the same time, Su Lie's battle in the Western Regions had also begun to reach its climax.

In the Western Regions there are Kucha, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jingjue, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Mi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shache, Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, Wutanzi, Beilu Houguo, Shanhuan, Pulei, Puleihouguo, Xiqimi, Jieguo, Huhu, Shanguo, Cheshiqianguo, Cheshihouguo, Cheshi Weidu State, Cheshi Houcheng State and other countries are basically located in the Xinjiang region of our country.

In addition, there are more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions further west, such as Wusun, Dawan, Anxi, Dayuezhi, Kangju, Haohan, Kanjuti, Wuyishanli, etc., and these countries Basically not within the territory of our country.

Of course, this is the previous Western Regions. Since the defeat of Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Dashi ran westward with less than a hundred riders and entered the Western Regions. This can even be said to be starting from scratch, but it has only been a few years. More than a dozen small countries have already perished in his hands.

It was because he saw that Yelu Dashi had the possibility to unify the Western Regions. If he was really allowed to unify the Western Regions, there would be such an additional uncertain factor and such an additional threat in vain.

Therefore, this prompted Li Xiang to send Su Dingfang to the Western Regions to nip possible threats in the bud.Besides, solving the Western Regions issue would also be of greater benefit to Li Xiang.

From the map, the Western Regions is a small hand stretched out by the Central Plains Dynasty. There is a relatively long and narrow corridor in it, which is a relatively long and narrow piece. Going west is the Silk Road. important mission.

Moreover, the Western Regions are located in most of Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia, bordering the grasslands in the north, the Central Plains in the east, West Asia and Europe in the west, and located in the center of the Eurasian continent. It was an important part of the Silk Road.

From the Western Regions to the north, you can attack the grasslands, and if you go east, you can harass the Central Plains. At the same time, you are at the throat of the Silk Road, and your whole body can be affected by one move.In addition, the Western Regions are also a good strategic buffer, which can maintain the security of the Central Plains dynasty's flanks.

The so-called guarding the river must guard the Huaihe River, and the Western Regions also played such a role for the Central Plains Dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty's demand for the Western Regions was to ensure the stability of its regime.

For example, the Central Plains dynasty always faced threats from the nomadic peoples in the north. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was strong, they could bow their heads and surrender, but once it weakened, they would definitely attack in groups. Wuhuluanhua is such a tragic example.

Therefore, in order to have sufficient deterrent power to the neighbors in the north and prevent them from fleeing west if they cannot be defeated, the troops stationed in the Western Regions always threaten the rear of the northern neighbors. As long as they invade the Central Plains Dynasty in the south, the soldiers stationed in the Western Regions will Can poke their ass.

Therefore, the Western Region is also a place that Li Xiang is extremely concerned about.

Yumen Pass was first placed when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the roads in the Western Regions and set up the four counties in Hexi. It was named after the way the Western Regions imported jade.

Yumen Pass and Yang Pass, another important pass, are both located in Longle County, Dunhuang County.At that time, the traffic between the Central Plains and the Western Regions all took two passes, which were important military passes and Silk Road traffic arteries during the Han Dynasty.

Originally, this should belong to the level of the big Han, but Liangzhou was the same situation before, and the level of control of the big Han over here was quite low. Even when Fu, Ma, and Han ruled Liangzhou later, due to the four The county is too extreme, and there is not much attention.Therefore, Yumen Pass temporarily fell into the hands of the countries of the Western Regions.

Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are guarded by one man, and no one can open it. If this pass is not broken, it will be a joke for the Western Regions.

However, Su Lie and Su Dingfang have been stationed in Liangzhou for these years, but they accidentally learned from a passing vendor that when entering the Western Regions from Dunhuang, apart from Yangguan and Yumenguan, there is still a valley road to the north.

The checkpoint is difficult to break through, and there will be damage under a strong attack. Therefore, Su Lie sent people to look for the valley road in the north, bypass Yumen Pass and reach the rear of Yumen Pass. In the end, they attacked Yumen Pass from both sides and successfully opened the first gate of the Western Expedition. step.
