Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1248

Shaodang Qiang has a large territory.

Among the entire Western Qiang tribe, the most fertile sheep herding land is in the hands of the Shaodang Qiang, facing the Jincheng City, with the Longqi City as the boundary, and the head of the Cizhi River is the territory of the Shaodang Qiang.

Shaodang Qiang was able to become one of the largest tribes among the Qiang tribes, but it was fought down from generation to generation.

Even the first 20 years were very prosperous.

Shaodang Qiang had an outstanding leader.

Beigong Boyu.

He used to be one of the protagonists in Liangzhou. Not only did he have the most elite soldiers of the Burning Clan, but he also instigated the entire Huangzhong Yi Cong army, separatist Liangzhou, and invaded Sanfu.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo and Han Sui secretly colluded and died in Liangzhou.

Success is Beigong Boyu, and failure is Beigong Boyu.

In that battle, all the elite Shaodang were left on the land of Liangzhou, making Shaodang decline from then on.

After Tadu became the leader, he also wanted to lead the Shaodang tribe to rise up, but unfortunately he met Yuehu, Lang Xiao and other heroes, and was overwhelmed.

Especially Yue Hu, after the death of Qiang King, he and Yue Hu are the most able to take the position of Qiang King, but Yue Hu's strength is no longer comparable to him.

If he hadn't run so fast and ran back from Jishi Mountain overnight to Shaodang Qiang, he might have left his life in Jishi Mountain.

Now the tiger is dead.

All the heroes of the Qiang people in that area were almost dead, and only his tower survived. At this moment, he is most confident in taking the position of King Qiang.

Thinking of becoming the king of Qiang and unifying the warriors of the Qiang people, he would not only strengthen the Qiang tribe, but also inherit the behest of his elder brother Beigong Boyu and march towards Liangzhou, and even worse, enter the Central Plains and enjoy the fertile land, instead of Children and grandchildren will stay in this desolate land of the West Sea for generations.

So Tadu cooperated with the Central Plains people.

Since ancient times, if the Western Qiang tribe wants to achieve great things, they must make peace with the people of the Central Plains. Whether it is Beigong Boyu or Yuehu, they will not be able to achieve great things without the support of the Central Plains people.

Tadu naturally followed suit.

The partner he cooperated with was Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was the spear king of the Northland, and his bravery was unpredictable.

Tadu also fought Zhang Xiu once, but he was defeated before he survived fifty rounds, so he also respects Zhang Xiu.

The situation in Jishi Mountain is promising, but it may not be as usual, so Tadu finally introduced Zhang Xiu's soldiers to Shaodang Qiang, and one can enter Jishi Mountain after crossing Shaodang Qiang.

He bought an insurance policy for himself, because he was afraid of accidents.

Now the main force of Zhang Xiu's Northern Army is stationed in the territory of Shaodang Qiang, located in the canyon intersected by two mountains, there will be Shaodang Department to bring them water and food.

They have been standing still.

In the simple camp tent, Zhang Xiu's tall body was kneeling on the futon, holding a book in his hand. This book is not a book on military tactics, but a book that he just got his hands on recently.

"Minghou Mansion Infantry Manual"

This is the book distributed by the Beiwutang to the generals of the army after countless revisions. Although it is not leaked, it will eventually leak out. If you want to popularize it, there is naturally a risk of being taken by others.

Ordinary people can't get it.

But one person got it.

Li Ru.

This is a gift from Li Ru to Zhang Xiu.

If others read the book, especially those who are familiar with military books, they will feel out of place, and even think that this so-called infantry drill is useless at all.

But Zhang Xiu leads the soldiers, and he has his own set of standards, so he has benefited a lot from reading an infantry drill code. Every point in it is tailor-made for a professional soldier, and it is easy to do. But it works.

It has to be said that Mu Jun can be so strong, it is not luck, but strength, real strength.

Of course, Zhang Xiu also wanted to imitate this kind of military training.

But it can't be done at all.

The most important point is that the food can't keep up at all. This kind of training can indeed produce elite soldiers, but the logistics consumption is so great that it takes less than ten days to consume all the food for a month.

Even if he had the heart, he was powerless.

But this did not prevent him from being optimistic about this infantry drill book. He saw from it that it was not only a method of training soldiers, but also a very special feeling.

Indistinctly, he felt the possession of a kind of belief, and his behavior could reflect what kind of soldier he needed to cultivate.

"General Zhang!" A leisurely figure walked in.

"Li Changshi!"

Zhang Xiu stood up.

"As I told you, the Grand Master's Chief Shi is already dead!" Li Ru sat down and smiled slightly.

"Master Changshi is always an adult, how dare he be disrespectful!"

Zhang Xiu said respectfully.

Although Dong Zhuo was dead, Zhang Xiu never dared to underestimate Li Ru. In such a desperate situation, this person was able to escape like a golden cicada and survive. He was a very terrifying person.

"General Zhang is reading?" Li Ru looked at the book in Zhang Xiu's hand.

"This book and someone have benefited a lot!"

Zhang Xiu nodded, and said: "The Mu army is known as the most powerful army in the world today, but when it goes to the battlefield, its morale is like a rainbow, and it is invincible. Even if I, Xiliang Erlang, rule the world, I am still invincible. I have never understood the reason, but After reading this book, I have to admit that although Mu Jing was born as a bandit, he has achieved extraordinary accomplishments in military training!"

"It's a good thing to be able to know the shortcomings, but you can't be too flattering and lose your confidence!" Li Ru said with a smile.

"Of course!"

A murderous intent rose in Zhang Xiu's eyes: "In the book, I am just looking for a gap in his Mu's army. If one day, I will lead the army to destroy the mansion, and kill him, and the blood will flow like a river!"

"With such arrogance, I will be the general of Xiliang!"

Li Ru was very satisfied.

"What orders does Master Changshi have?" Zhang Xiu put the book away, and then got to the point. Although Li Ru won, he also supported Li Ru, but he was the general of the Northern Army, Li Ru's identity Top secret, non-essential things will not move around.

"Things may change a bit!"

Li Ru said softly.

"What changes?"

"Jia Wenhe wants to join forces with us!" Li Ru said.

"Why?"

"The Mu family is aggressive!" Li Ru said, "Ma Chao has already wavered. Once Ma Chao joins the Mu family, the situation in Xiliang will be broken in an instant. Our plan remains the same. We just hope to disrupt the situation in Xiliang and prevent the Mu army from entering Xiliang. , but also to keep this piece of Xiliang land, but once Ma Chao becomes the vanguard of the Mu army, all our deployments will be in vain!"

"Ma Mengqi is not short-sighted!"

Zhang Xiu frowned, his eyes flickering: "How can he not know that the situation in Xiliang is difficult now, and this person is ambitious, I am afraid he will not be subdued by the Mu clan!"

"One moment, another moment!"

Li Ru shook his head: "The situation in Xiliang is already at stake. The princes of Xiliang need to be wise and safe. How to protect themselves is the fundamental way. If there is no one behind them, they will be swallowed. Although Ma Chao has ambitions, he is alone and helpless. If he can hold on, if at this time, he finds someone to rely on, the Minghou Mansion may not be able to become his reliance!"

Zhang Xiu thought about it, but thought Li Ru was right.

The reason why I was surrendered by Li Ru was not because Liangzhou had reached a desperate situation. The current situation has become clear. The five princes of the Central Plains are all doing their best, so they can't tolerate others being independent.

If you don't take refuge in one side at this time.

That can only be swept away directly.

Although Ma Chao was brave and ambitious, he couldn't support the situation in Xiliang. If he wanted to find someone to take refuge in, then Minghou Mansion should be the best.

Because there is Pang De in the Minghou Mansion.

Ma Chao and Pang De grew up together since they were young, and they cared for each other with all their hearts, and they were brothers and sisters. Pang De is doing well in Minghou Mansion now. With this bridge, if Ma Chao goes to Minghou Mansion, it may not be unusable.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a military performance sounded from outside the camp.

"Come in!"

"Report to the general, more than a thousand light cavalry from the Longxi Army crossed the Long Road, rushed into Jincheng, plundered a bit, and left for only three days!"

"what?"

Zhang Xiu jumped up against the case: "What a Ma Chao, he is forcing me to fight!"

"Don't be impatient!"

Li Ru softly comforted Zhang Xiu's emotions.

"You go down first!"

Zhang Xiu was murderous, but Li Ru's voice really calmed him down a lot. He pushed everyone away, and then asked Li Ru, "Lord Chang Shi, what do you mean by living this Ma Chao?"

"Explore!"

Li Ru replied.

"Testing where our main force is?" Zhang Xiu suddenly understood: "Then he should know now that our main force is not in Jincheng, nor in Beidi, or even in Liangzhou, so there must be more actions. Then what should we do?"

Sometimes there is no reason to retreat after choosing the path. Zhang Xiu can only become a general of Youzhou since he chose to return to Youzhou. He is the only one, no one else can be Lu Bu.

A defector who betrays will eventually become the most unpopular in the world.

So Zhang Xiu is naturally very concerned. He also hopes that Youzhou can eat the land of Xiliang, so that he will have greater power and more military support.

"Longxi Army should have been taken down by the imperial court, but obviously Jia Wenhe couldn't hold on. He just ate Ma Teng and didn't take down Ma Chao. Ma Chao's temper was so flamboyant that he didn't dare to move easily, which is normal, but He must be a little unfamiliar secretly, at this time he contacted us, hoping to get our support, but we can't hold on, although..."

Li Ru pondered for a while, and said: "The towers are useless, and this person is too thoughtful to make use of them. We may not be able to control the situation on Jishi Mountain. Once the army is defeated, we will go deep alone. Great!"

The Northern Army went deep into the Qiang tribes, and covered all the towers, so there was no problem, but once the protective film was lost, they must be the public enemy of all Qiang tribes.

"withdraw troops?"

Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes.

"But if we withdraw our troops now, all previous efforts will be wasted!" Li Ru shook his head, his eyes lit up suddenly, he looked at Zhang Xiu, and asked, "General Zhang, do you have the guts to beat up the Mu army!"

"The shepherd army from Baima Mountain?"

"We must fight nature's main force!"

"We will suffer from the fight!" Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said, "The main force of the Mu army is too powerful. How many fortifications have been arranged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no force at all!"

"It's not a strong attack, it's just an attack!" Li Ru said: "Our troops are all here, but the Mu army has never sent troops. Whether it's against the Longxi army or our northern army, it's just a test and they withdrew immediately. , we all know that the main force of the Shepherd Army is stationed here, but the Qiang tribe doesn't know that!"

"Understood!"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "The Qiang tribe is xenophobic, and the Mu family is powerful. They will naturally know about it when they drive straight in, but they just don't see it. Even if Baima Qiang retreats to Jishi Mountain, they don't want to mix it up. They think it belongs to Baima Qiang. The problem is, once there is a fight, the soldiers of the Han people will fight on the land of the Qiang people. No matter who they are, they will not be forgiven. If there is public anger, the main force of the herding army will definitely be forced to fight..."

"They want to stay out of the matter, wait for us to release our troops, and then send troops, how can it be so easy!" Li Ru sneered.

"Okay, I'll deploy troops now!"

Zhang Xiu is very happy to do such a thing. Zhang Ji treats him like a father. Now that Zhang Ji has died in the hands of Mu Jun, he and Mu Jun are enemies of killing his father. At its strongest.

......................................................

The land of Xiqiang is surrounded by rolling plateaus and hills.

On a hill.

A young man with a sword hid his whole body in a black robe. From the back, he seemed to see only a black shadow, but from the front, he could see his somewhat delicate face.

He is Xin Zhao.

Behind Xin Zhao stood more than a dozen men in black armor. Their armor was the lightest and most solid, all with thin swords at their waists, standing like a green pine.

"Commander, Master Shi is back!" A man in black armor clasped his hands and reported.

"Let him come up!"

"promise!"

Soon a young man in civilian clothes was ushered up the mountain.

"It's very dazzling here!" The commoner youth glanced around, this is a single horn, standing alone against the wind, with a radius of hundreds of meters, a position that can be seen at a glance, he doesn't like it, not only him, but all assassins I like it too much.

"I like sunshine!"

Xin Zhao's hand was raised above his head, so that the light of the sun reflected on it.

"I don't know when, I kind of hate sunshine!" The commoner youth stood there alone with a sword, but he looked more dangerous than Xin Zhao.

This young man in civilian clothes is the number one assassin of Jingwu Division, the number one swordsman, the number one master, the disciple of Sword Master Wang Yue, Shi A.

Shi A was forced to enter Jingwu Division.

He exchanged his own service for Wang Yue's freedom. He was not used to it at first, and wanted to escape every second, but after these years, he has gotten used to it, used to power, used to darkness, and Brothers who are used to fighting side by side.

"Then you have to get used to the sun!"

Xin Zhao said with a smile: "The lord once told me that we are walking in the dark, but don't let your heart become dark, the sun is the best comfort!"

"Still annoying!"

Shi A put on the bamboo hat, otherwise he would feel insecure.

Xin Zhao didn't care about him, and started talking about business: "I'm going back, the lord has already issued many secret orders, I must be sent back, and the matter of Xiliang must be handed over to Zuo Si!"

"Four assassinations were unsuccessful, and there is basically no hope. It is useless for You Si to stay at this time!"

Shi Adao: "In terms of inquiring about news, Zuo Si is better!"

"What happened to the thing I asked you to check before?" Xin Zhao asked.

The assassination of Jia Xu was unsuccessful, but he saved a person, who happened to be a bond between Ma and his son. Those in this line of work keenly felt that this would be an opportunity.

"found it!"

Shi Adao: "Qingyi Qiang!"

"Row!"

Zhao Dao said: "Give all the news to Zuo Si, and let Tan Zonglai have a headache for the rest!"

"Commander Tan has come to Xiliang!"

"The battle in Xiliang is imminent, and he's coordinating the news here, so he can't do it if he doesn't come!" Xin Zhao said, "But it's not easy for that cripple to go out!"

"Don't say it in front of the lord!"

Shi A pouted: "Otherwise, my lord will peel off your skin!"

The deep relationship between the protagonist Mujing and the commander of Jingwu Division Zuosi Tan Zong is unmatched by both of them.
