contend

Chapter 113
The battle was won, but the situation remained dire.

The siege of the western capital was resolved, but the Qiang rebellion did not subside.

The big cities of Poqiang, Linqiang and Longqi are still in the hands of the Qiang people.

And with Xia Houba's injury, his own strength was reduced by another [-]%.

You can't let Xia Houba go up and kill people with a limp, right?
Xia Houba kept yelling that he was fine, and that he could fight the enemy again.

Yang Zheng and Guo Dun smiled wryly at the same time.

Yang Zheng handed Liu Heng's beheaded head to Guo Dunyan, and Guo Dun was overjoyed, "This is the leader of the gangster! The bandit was defeated and killed, and half of the Qiang rebellion in Xiping County has been wiped out."

The prison sister, the leader of Qiang, is Fatong.

"This was killed by Liu Heng, a warrior under my command." Yang Zheng said truthfully.

Guo Dun laughed and said: "The meritorious deeds of your soldiers are the meritorious deeds of you."

Logically it seems to be the same.

Xiahouba's thoughts are no longer on the Qiang people, but on the Hu people, "Xingyun decided to break the siege of Xidu first, then raid the West Sea and burn their lairs. It can be done today!"

Guo Dun looked at Yang Zheng in surprise, "It turns out that Duwei Yang is not only brave, but also has such strategic strategies. Ye Wudai has a team in Linqiang, and there are also cavalry in Xihai. General Xiahou and Duwei Yang are mainly infantry. , I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish."

Naturally, everyone likes flattery, and Yang Zheng is no exception.

Xia Houba snorted coldly, "Although our army has only 2 people, isn't there a lot of troops stationed in the western capital? With the addition of large Han people, it shouldn't be difficult to gather [-] troops."

Guo Dun smiled wryly and said: "General Wei didn't know something. The clan brothers fled that day and took away a group of soldiers, but the Han people's large households can still defend the city. If they go out to fight in the city, I'm afraid they will be scattered. If they can help, the end I will leave the city early to repel the Qiang bandits."

Those who have the same desire up and down win.

The large Han people had no motivation to go on expeditions, and it was impossible for them to selflessly help Xia Houba by harming their own interests.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

Doing what is difficult for others will only be counterproductive.

Only a cohesive army can fight.

Moreover, Ye Wudai's troops are there, known as an army of [-]...

Even without an army of [-], it sounds pretty bluffing.

Yang Zheng suddenly felt that he was simplifying things.

Even Guo Dun, who is a general of Zhonglang, doesn't seem to have much interest in making a surprise attack on Xihai.

Xiping is his home, his three acres of land.

The credit for defending the Western Capital is enough, there is no need to go out and die with huge risks.

There are many good planners, but few successful ones.

The reason is this, under various interest entanglements, the original intention will continue to change.

If Xiahouba hadn't been injured, these 6000 people could go to Xihailang with the horses of Xidu.

But now that Xia Houba was injured, it was another matter.

His subordinates may not obey Yang Zheng's orders.

A radish and a pit.

In this era, generals and subordinates have personal dependencies.

The subordinates of many generals in Soochow are all private troops.

Lord Wu can command generals, but he may not be able to command his army.

Therefore, the Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, raised [-] people in all previous Northern Expeditions, advancing both land and water, and always miraculously collapsed under the city of Hefei.

In the 20th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao's [-] troops met Soochow's [-] troops, and [-] elite soldiers attacked Soochow's [-] troops, and they fought all the way to Sun Quanya's banner...

Of the three present, Yang Zheng had the lowest military rank, and if he could speak, it was considered flattering for others to listen to him.

Xia Houba frowned, and glanced at Yang Zheng with a depressed expression.

Yang Zheng said: "Now that the siege of the western capital has been lifted, and the generals have made meritorious deeds, we can quietly watch Ye Wudai and Guo Huai's changes."

Guo Huai is the governor of Yongzhou, and he holds heavy soldiers in his hands.

Xia Houba reluctantly nodded.

In the next few days, the whole army recuperated in the western capital.

Guo Dun is a good man, he sent cattle and sheep as rewards, and the soldiers were very happy.

Xia Houba sent out wave after wave of scouts to investigate the surrounding situation.

Guo Huai was still stationed in Yuzhong.

But Ye Wudai stopped at Luan Niao.

This confrontation seems acceptable.

Liangzhou fell into a strange balance.

But this balance only lasted half a month.

In August, the Shu army marched northward, and Jiang Wei led an army of [-] Chen Bing Gansong to the south of Minshan Mountain, spying on the Longxi Army north of Minshan Mountain.

The Qiang crowd responded.

The Qiang Rebellion, which had gradually subsided, became active again.

Even Nan'an County, which has always been as stable as Mount Tai, is in turmoil.

Longxi County, which is at the forefront of the wind, is even more turbulent, and all the Qiang tribes are converging to Longxi.

At this moment, Guo Huai, who was stationed in Yuzhong, suddenly turned south and entered Didao City, where the doves occupied the magpie's nest...

As soon as Guo Huai moved, Ye Wudai also moved, and without any scruples, he swung his troops towards Guzang City, the seat of Wuwei County.

There is no fire on the front line, but there is fire in the backyard.

Didao has always been Xiahouba's stronghold.

Now it is inexplicably taken over by Guo Huai.

And it's justifiable.

Xia Houba's face was livid, and the wound that had just healed was bleeding again.

Yang Zheng was also a little worried about Fanghan.

Fortunately, I had an extra mind at the beginning, even if the three caves of the cunning rabbit were gone, there would still be Xihe Camp and Jishi Mountain.

But he secretly rejoiced that Guo Huai's military order arrived not long after.

Let Xia Houba break the siege of Wuwei!
In fact, when Guo Huainan went to Longxi to suppress the Qiang people and guard against the Shu army, the heavy burden of Hexi fell on Xiahouba.

Of course Xia Houba could just sit back and watch.

And once Ye Wudai captured Guzang and cut off Hexi, it goes without saying who will be more responsible.

After all, Xiahouba is the closest to Wuwei and is currently the top general in Hexi.

Yang Zheng couldn't help admiring Guo Huai's level of blame.

Xia Houba's eyes were red, "How can the siege of Wuwei be solved?"

Yang Zheng sighed, Xia Houba couldn't go back to Didao, and his own Fanghan was over, and Guo Huai might discover the secrets of Xihe Daying and Jishi Mountain.

There are three ways in front of him, one is to retreat to Longxi and squeeze Guo Huai away, but in this way, he is disobeying the military order, and the handle will fall into Guo Huai's hands.

Second, the soldiers did not move, but it was still true. Wuwei County was too important. It was the most important node in the Hexi Corridor and also the fan screen of Yongliang.

Third, raid the West Sea, go straight to Ye Wudai's lair, encircle Wei and save Zhao.

In fact, Guo Huai only gave him one way to go.

A narrow escape.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Assault on the West Sea!"

Xia Houba sighed: "That's the only way!"

Immediately, he stood up tremblingly from the soft bed, and limped to get his weapon.

Not to mention going out like this, he even needs someone to support him when he walks.

Sure enough, he didn't take two steps, almost fell down, and was supported by his own soldiers.

Xiahou screamed domineeringly.

But it can only be in vain.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but be considerate of the leader, "It's enough for the subordinates to have [-] troops."

"Xingyun..." Xia Houba was anxious and angry, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Yang Zheng said: "It is actually not difficult to break the siege of Wuwei. The previous scouts have found out that Ye Wudai's family members are all in the West Sea. If I succeed, Ye Wudai's people will have no heart to fight. Wuwei prefect Fan Can is a loyal man, and he has a strategy. It is not so easy for Ye Wudai to defeat Guzang."

Guo Dun's face was full of respect, "Lieutenant Yang is a true scholar of the country."

These words are undoubtedly ironic to Yang Zheng.

For the national scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, forget it.
