Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty
Chapter 331
Chapter 331 Entering Shu (5000)
With this great victory in the Western Expedition and taking control of Chang'an, Gao Huan swept away the hatred accumulated in his heart for many years, and it can be regarded as a complete wash away of the shame of three years ago.
It's a pity that Yu Wentai took away all the food, fodder and treasures in the treasury that could be taken away, and burned those that could not be taken away. Most of the people in the city fled, and only a few stayed to wait and see. Obtaining an empty city is no different.
But this is Chang'an after all, even if the remaining population is less than that of a small city in Kanto, its significance is also extraordinary.
After Gao Huan took over Chang'an, he immediately assigned [-] troops led by Xue Guyan and Hu Luping to capture Lantian and then Wuguan; Pan Le and Hu Luxian led [-] troops to attack Xiaoguan from Pingqin County (Baoji) He also sent Hu Luguang and Hu Lu Qiang to lead [-] infantry to Dasan Pass to support Gao Cheng. Although Wei Xiaokuan and Li Yuan did not have the right to command the army, they were also arranged to follow the army westward and serve as Gao Cheng's staff.
At this time, Gao Cheng's messenger for help was still on his way to Chang'an.
The four fortresses in Guanzhong are Wuguan, Xiaoguan, Tongguan and Dashanguan.
Wuguan is located between the narrow and long mountain roads from Lantianguan to Nanyang Basin.
Xiaoguan is located in the northwest of Guanzhong Plain, between Liupan Mountain and Yunmeng Mountain, near the source of Jing River, where mountains and river valleys intersect.
Needless to say, Dasan Pass can go westward to Longshan Qinzhou, and southward along the upper reaches of the Jialing River to Hanzhong, which is the main throat.
But Guanzhong to Hanzhong is not just this one road. There are five more famous passages, which are distributed from west to east along the main peak of Qinling Mountains, namely Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road.
Among the five roads in the Qinling Mountains, the Chencang Road and Baoxie Road, which are both in the valley, are the most convenient, and can accommodate large armies to pass through. Chencang Road is the south of Dashan Pass.
But along the Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road, there are high mountains and steep mountains, so it is the most difficult to pass and supply.
Zhuge Wuhou went out of Qishan six times, and he took the Qishan Road, Chencang Road, and Baoxie Road on the west side. However, Wei Yanxian's so-called Meridian Valley strategy was to lead the cavalry to the east side while the main force of the army was going to the west side. , Meridian Road with the worst road conditions.
Tongguan is the only pass that fell into the hands of the Gao family among the four fortresses in Guanzhong. In addition, Gao Huan intends to abolish the West Tongguan. With the Gao family's center of gravity in the Kanto, it is not conducive to adding another West Tongguan between Kanxi and Kanto. rule.
Poor Yuwentai worked so hard to build it with tight belts, but now it is about to be demolished.
Gao Huan also took the time to meet the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who raised righteousness, and he naturally comforted the soldiers.
Old Gao Wang was also from the lower ranks, so he understood what these soldiers were looking forward to the most, and promised them on the spot that they would return to the army and continue to enjoy the treatment of middle soldiers as full-time soldiers.
Immediately, the soldiers shouted "Gaowang Longshou" in unison. Those who didn't know it thought that He Liuhun had ascended the throne in Chang'an.
Of course, everyone understands that taking down the Gao family in Guanzhong is not far from proclaiming the emperor and usurping the country.
When they come to their position, they will be the emperor if they advance, and their clan will be exterminated if they retreat. The annexation of Guanzhong also meets the condition of usurping the country. Adding the ceremony, the next step is to wait for the emperor to say three words and make three concessions.
It's just that Gao Huan himself has no intention of usurping the throne. As he said before, regardless of whether he wins or loses in this battle, after returning to the teacher, he will hand over power to Gao Cheng.
Moreover, Gao Cheng's various plans in this battle also allowed Gao Huan to transfer power with confidence, after all, his body knew best.
But now that Guanzhong is annexed, it is time to celebrate anyway. Gao Huan held banquets in Chang'an repeatedly, regardless of his health, and the generals drank happily every day, and even recruited Hu Lujin to have fun with him, and came to Chang'an with him There are also [-] Xianbei soldiers stationed at Yubi. After all, below Guanzhong, Yubi is no longer as important as before.
And it was Wang Sizheng who succeeded Hulujin in guarding Yubi City, who had built the city in Weibei and hadn't laid the foundation yet. The Weibei city was originally just a means for Gao Huan to force Yuwentai to fight a decisive battle. Now that the battle is understood, naturally no manpower was spent It is necessary to build the city again with material resources.
Gao Huan even released the [-] civilian husbands who participated in the construction of the city ahead of time, letting them bring the good news back to all parts of the Kanto, and at the same time deter people with different intentions, so that the Kanto would not cause chaos because the father and son were in the Guanzhong.
Now when returning to Kanto, there is no need to go to Puban, and you can go straight out of Tongguan to go to Hengnong, which is much more convenient.
Gao Huan, who was obsessed with drinking, singing and dancing, did not forget to send someone to control Yu Jin's family, waiting for Gao Cheng to return.
Gao Cheng's handling of Yu Jin's family is more to win over Wei Xiaokuan and Li Yuan's heart. As a father, Gao Huan will naturally not step over and take over.
The father and son have worked together for many years, and there is still some tacit understanding. Gao Huan sent [-] cavalry to Dasan Pass for support without Gao Cheng's notice.
When Xue Guyan and Hu Luping led an army of [-] to Lantian Pass, Hu Luguang, Hu Lu Qiangju and other talents separated from Pan Le and Hu Luxian who attacked Xiaoguan in Pingqin County (Baoji), and went all the way. To the southwest, take the Jinghe Valley Road all the way to the northwest.
News of the Eastern Wei's victory outside Xitong Pass had already spread to Lantian Pass. Knowing that Yu Wentai withdrew to the west and the Gao clan entered Chang'an, nearly a thousand defenders in Lantian Pass were already in panic.
I also heard that the [-] troops from the Eastern Wei Dynasty had arrived. With no reinforcements from outside, the guards did not hesitate much. They immediately turned on the switch and asked to surrender. Afterwards, continue to go to Wuguan along the Shangyu Valley Road.
The defenders of Wuguan didn't do much resistance. After all, the east was the Henan province of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the west of Guanzhong was also in the hands of the Gao clan. It was meaningless for them to be trapped in Wuguan.
What's more, most of the guards at Lantian Pass, Wuguan Pass, Xitong Pass and other eastern passes were civilians who had been temporarily conscripted into the army, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness.
The Eastern Front frequently reported victories, but unlike this type of marching to receive the results, the Western Front fell into a bitter battle.
Although Yu Wentai only left 5000 infantry for Li Hu, plus the original [-]-man garrison, there were no more than [-] people, but the city of Dasan Pass is strong and the terrain is dangerous, and because his family is in Longshan behind the pass, the soldiers Their fighting spirit is even higher, and it would be a strange thing if they can be easily captured.
Gao Cheng dispatched a large number of people to drive the people back to Guanzhong, which was actually the main reason why the siege failed this time.
On the other hand, after Yu Wentai rested in Qinzhou, he mobilized the army and people in Longxi to reinforce Dashan Pass, and at the same time led the main force of the remaining six armies with a total of [-] steps to ride southward on Chencang Road, hoping to learn about the Guanzhong in Hanzhong. Before the end of the war, attack Hanzhong.
The reason why he insisted on entering Shu was precisely because Yu Wentai knew that Longshan was difficult to defend. Back then Hou Mo Chenyue guarded Longshan and was easily destroyed by himself.
However, Bashu is different. Inside is the land of abundance, with fertile water and soil, and outside there are high mountains, making the road to Shu difficult.
Now that the military strength in Shuzhong is empty, this place of foundation given to him by the gods is far better than the broken Guanzhong.
When Xiao Ji went north, Yu Wentai also knew a lot about the situation in Bashu. Although the production in the middle of Shu was resumed under his management, the Liao people accounted for the majority of the population. Among the [-] Shu soldiers who went north this time were A large number of bureaucrats and soldiers.
Now that [-] live forces have been lost, and the Shu region has been hit hard again, Yu Wentai doesn't want to repeat the days in Guanzhong, he has had enough of the suffering of population shortage.
The reason why Yu Wentai retreated to Longshan was actually just one aspect of rest. More importantly, he had the intention to move the people of Longxi to Shu.
Gao Cheng could guess that Yu Wentai was trying to enter Sichuan, but he never expected that the other party was holding back his energy to engage in a large population migration.
History has changed beyond recognition. If he can know everything in advance and predict everything like a god, unless he has his head opened during time travel.
He is clever and clever, but he is definitely not like Zhuge Wuhou in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is very wise and close to a demon.
Of course, if Zhang Shiqi is asked to write a book "The Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms", maybe he can really create a character image of "thick and fake, wise but close to demon".
As for the so-called lecherous and suspicious, it's all spring and autumn.
While commanding the army to attack the city, Gao Cheng glanced back at Zhang Shiqi behind him, and secretly said:
"With Zhang Shiqi's Shi De, it is estimated that he can't play with the Spring and Autumn brushwork. After all, he has always recorded truthfully and never falsified. '
This is called talking too much and deceiving yourself.
Although Yu Wentai sent troops to support him, but the Eastern Wei Dynasty was too aggressive, Li Hu was still struggling at the top of Dasan Pass, and even went to the front line to fight.
With Gao Cheng's temperament of cherishing his life, he couldn't do such a thing, and Li Hu's move was not useless. With him boosting morale, the defenders of Dasan Pass resisted another wave of offensives. After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, they receded like a tide.
Li Hu had already lost his strength, he turned around and looked south, hoping that Yu Wentai could capture Hanzhong sooner.
Unlike the empty Shu land, there was a large army stationed in Hanzhong, and it was precisely because of Hanzhong as a barrier that Xiao Yan did not send troops to Shu.
Due to the lack of news, Hanzhong still does not know the situation of the battle in Guanzhong. Although there are large troops stationed there, due to the friendly relationship between the Western Wei Dynasty and Nanliang, there has been no war for many years, and the defense can be called lax.
After all, not many people would have thought that Yu Wentai, who had lost the Guanzhong War, would turn his ideas on his allies, and even the defender of Hanzhong didn't know that Yu Wentai had been defeated.
When General Lan Qin, who followed Xiao Ji to the north, crossed the mountains and arrived in Hanzhong alone, he happened to witness the scene where Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Yu Chijiong attacked the city gate as the vanguard, and the follow-up army poured in one after another.
Seeing Western Wei's betrayal of the alliance, he also thought of the imperial court's assistance to Yuwentai over the years, even sending [-] troops to the war to support him, and even his son Lan Jing was trapped in the Guanzhong, and he might also be a prisoner.
Lan Qin was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly passed out. Yu Wentai won Hanzhong, and the next step would be to go to Shu. Now he is blocked on his way back, and he doesn't know what to do. It's all because of the extermination of Buddhism in the two Wei Dynasties, otherwise he might still be able to learn from it Chen Qingzhi shaved his hair and pretended to be a monk and fled back to Nanliang.
But Lan Qin was still planning to return to Nanliang through the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. At least few people in the Eastern Wei Dynasty knew his face and identity, unlike the Western Wei Dynasty.
Besides, after Yu Wentai successfully captured Hanzhong, on the one hand, he continued to lead the army south, on the other hand, he sent people back to Longxi to migrate the people south, and then the Longxi garrison guarded Hanzhong.
As for the method of relocation, I have no intentions, just slander and spread rumors about the Gao family and his sons, exploiting people's trust, tyrannical government fiercer than tigers, killing indiscriminately, and tyrannizing the people.
In their mouths, Xiao Gaowang is the kind who meets a child eating malt candy on the road, grabs the candy and stuffs it in his mouth, and then cooks the child to eat. His character image has already been demonized .
Due to the interaction of Yuwentai's various smear campaigns and the annual trampling of seedlings by cavalrymen of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in the eyes of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Gao family and his son were not anthropomorphic at all.
Without the coercion of the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, a large number of Longxi people voluntarily accompanied them, just like the grand occasion when they evacuated from Guanzhong.
Therefore, the name of a person and the shadow of a tree must guide the direction of public opinion correctly.
Perhaps because he had been fighting with King Xiao Gao for a long time, Yuwentai also learned a little bit of shame, for example, he sent envoys to Tuyuhun to donate the land of Longxi to the people of Longshan while relocating the people in Longshan, so as to trigger the conflict between Eastern Wei and Tuyuhun.
This is an obvious pit, but the key lies in whether Tuyuhun Khan can resist the temptation.
As for entering Shu, Yu Wentai knew that the most important thing was the speed of marching, and entered Shu before the wind leaked.
Yu Wentai continued to send Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Yu Chi Jiong as vanguards, and entered Shu from Jiange. Since the army in the middle of Shu had been withdrawn, and all the passes had been peaceful for many years, the defenses were lax, so the army of the Western Wei Dynasty rushed into the middle of Shu in one fell swoop. .
Tongzhou, an important town in the north of Shu, fell quickly, and Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Yu Chijiong approached Chengdu easily.
Chengdu is undoubtedly a mighty city, but once the enemy approaches, few can hold on, just like Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei and Liu Chan surrendered to Deng Ai during the Three Kingdoms period.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Chenghan regime was strong for a while, but there was a will in the dark. The soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty accidentally hit the drum, so the three armies used their lives and were able to defeat the enemy, and Huan Wen also pacified Shu.
This time Chengdu still failed to hold on, but the defenders cannot be blamed. It is true that there is a shortage of major generals.
After seizing Chengdu, Yu Wentai immediately ordered people to move all the people to Shu, stayed in Yuwen and led 5000 people to guard Chengdu, and led 5000 people on foot to go east to capture Chuzhou, which is now Chongqing.
Chuzhou is the gateway to Bashu, Yuwentai's plan is very clear, first close the door, and then go to encroach on the south of Shu.
Not to mention Nanliang's reaction, after Xue Guyan and Hu Luping captured Lantian Pass and Wu Pass, soon after a bloody battle, Pan Le and Hu Luxian also captured Xiao Pass.
Only Gao Cheng was left eating dirt in front of Dasan Pass. After all, the difficulty was different, and Yu Wentai didn't want to go to guard Xiao Pass.
However, after days of strong attacks, although many soldiers suffered casualties, the breakthrough is in sight.
Li Hu was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, seeing the people of Longxi and the families of the soldiers moving south, on a dark night where they could not see their fingers, he led the guards and soldiers to escape in the snow.
When Gao Cheng organized an army to attack the city again in the early morning of the next day, Dasan Pass was already empty.
After the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty took control of the city defense, Gao Cheng finally entered the Dasan Pass. He knew that Yu Wentai must have entered Shu, otherwise Li Hu would not have left.
But never expected that the entire land of Longxi has been devoid of people, no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, Yu Wentai left an open space for himself, except for some old, weak, sick and disabled who can't walk, or can't take care of the deep mountains and old forests. All the rest of the Longxi people were removed by him, not to mention any supplies left behind.
Tuyuhun Khan was originally bewitched by Yuwentai's envoy, and wanted to go east. Later, he heard about the current situation in Longshan, and learned that Gao Cheng sent troops to seize important passes. Finally, he suppressed his ambition with great difficulty and sent people to contact the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Reaffirm the friendship between the two countries.
Gao Cheng naturally received the Tuyuhun envoy with great enthusiasm, now is not the time to use troops against Tuyuhun.
Which is more important, Gao Cheng sees it most clearly, the task at this stage is to relocate the people, not only to alleviate the conflicts between the people in the Kanto region, but also to enrich the Guanlong region, and at the same time to recuperate, before making any calculations.
Although Guanlong was captured in this battle, because Yuwentai evacuated the Chang'an treasury and moved a large number of people, Gao Cheng will only be left with a blank land in Longxi. In fact, the financial deficit caused by this expedition is difficult to fill. , at least for a period of time in the future can not look south.
However, Yuwentai was playing tricks and wanted to make Tuyuhun embarrassing for him, so King Gao naturally wanted to return him a gift.
Gao Cheng was going to ease the relationship with Nanliang, and let them know that the Gao clan was unwilling to go to war for a short time. It depended on whether Xiao Yan would take advantage of this time to go west and take back the land of Shu.
However, based on his understanding of Xiao Yan, he was afraid that the other party would have to take care of the overall situation.
Xiao Yan is old, but not insane. It's one thing not to be aggressive, but it doesn't mean he can't see the current situation clearly.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Eastern Wu captured Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others repeatedly asked Liu Bei not to attack Wu.
Nanliang Chaotang estimated that there is no shortage of people who know the situation in the world.
Now that the Eastern Wei has completely conquered the northern lands, although Guanzhong is dilapidated, the population of Guandong, after a few more years of recuperation, may be stronger than the Northern Wei. After all, the Gao family is now on the rise.
But it doesn’t matter if you try it, Gao Cheng made up his mind to send Wen Zisheng to Jiankang again. You can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Seeing that Longxi had been settled, Tuyuhun showed no sign of going east, Gao Cheng was also preparing to return to Chang'an, he immediately made arrangements for Longxi, temporarily leaving General Dou Tai to lead [-] cavalry to garrison.
Gao Cheng, the general guard of Dasan Gate, preferred to transfer Wang Sizheng here. His father-in-law should rest assured about the matter of guarding the city. The reason why Wei Xiaokuan was not used was because Gao Cheng had discussed with Gao Huan before, not to place the general in Kansai. .
After all, he is only recently attached, and his loyalty has yet to be tested.
During that discussion, Gao Huan also mentioned his plan to leave Jinyang and stay in Chang'an.
In the past, the reason why Jinyang was located in Jinyang was not only that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also because it was more convenient for Jinyang to send troops to Guanzhong.
Now that Guanzhong has been captured, just like Yubi City, the strategic importance of Jinyang has declined accordingly. For the Gao family at this time, it is obviously a more appropriate choice for Gao Huan to move his base camp from Jinyang to Chang'an.
Gao Cheng left Hu Luguang to temporarily guard Dasan Pass, waiting for Wang Sizheng to come to take over, and was about to return to the teacher, but unexpectedly received a bad news from Chang'an.
I only wrote 1 words for two consecutive days, which is [-] short of the goal. Make up for it, but my wrist is indeed much better.
I rest first, the next chapter is at six in the afternoon.
Thanks to book friends 150203165037161 and Dingla for their rewards.
(End of this chapter)
With this great victory in the Western Expedition and taking control of Chang'an, Gao Huan swept away the hatred accumulated in his heart for many years, and it can be regarded as a complete wash away of the shame of three years ago.
It's a pity that Yu Wentai took away all the food, fodder and treasures in the treasury that could be taken away, and burned those that could not be taken away. Most of the people in the city fled, and only a few stayed to wait and see. Obtaining an empty city is no different.

It's all because of the extermination of Buddhism in the two Wei Dynasties, otherwise he might still be able to learn from it Chen Qingzhi shaved his hair and pretended to be a monk and fled back to Nanliang.
But Lan Qin was still planning to return to Nanliang through the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. At least few people in the Eastern Wei Dynasty knew his face and identity, unlike the Western Wei Dynasty.
Besides, after Yu Wentai successfully captured Hanzhong, on the one hand, he continued to lead the army south, on the other hand, he sent people back to Longxi to migrate the people south, and then the Longxi garrison guarded Hanzhong.
As for the method of relocation, I have no intentions, just slander and spread rumors about the Gao family and his sons, exploiting people's trust, tyrannical government fiercer than tigers, killing indiscriminately, and tyrannizing the people.
In their mouths, Xiao Gaowang is the kind who meets a child eating malt candy on the road, grabs the candy and stuffs it in his mouth, and then cooks the child to eat. His character image has already been demonized .
Due to the interaction of Yuwentai's various smear campaigns and the annual trampling of seedlings by cavalrymen of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in the eyes of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Gao family and his son were not anthropomorphic at all.
Without the coercion of the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, a large number of Longxi people voluntarily accompanied them, just like the grand occasion when they evacuated from Guanzhong.
Therefore, the name of a person and the shadow of a tree must guide the direction of public opinion correctly.
Perhaps because he had been fighting with King Xiao Gao for a long time, Yuwentai also learned a little bit of shame, for example, he sent envoys to Tuyuhun to donate the land of Longxi to the people of Longshan while relocating the people in Longshan, so as to trigger the conflict between Eastern Wei and Tuyuhun.
This is an obvious pit, but the key lies in whether Tuyuhun Khan can resist the temptation.
As for entering Shu, Yu Wentai knew that the most important thing was the speed of marching, and entered Shu before the wind leaked.
Yu Wentai continued to send Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Yu Chi Jiong as vanguards, and entered Shu from Jiange. Since the army in the middle of Shu had been withdrawn, and all the passes had been peaceful for many years, the defenses were lax, so the army of the Western Wei Dynasty rushed into the middle of Shu in one fell swoop. .
Tongzhou, an important town in the north of Shu, fell quickly, and Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Yu Chijiong approached Chengdu easily.
Chengdu is undoubtedly a mighty city, but once the enemy approaches, few can hold on, just like Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei and Liu Chan surrendered to Deng Ai during the Three Kingdoms period.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Chenghan regime was strong for a while, but there was a will in the dark. The soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty accidentally hit the drum, so the three armies used their lives and were able to defeat the enemy, and Huan Wen also pacified Shu.
This time Chengdu still failed to hold on, but the defenders cannot be blamed. It is true that there is a shortage of major generals.
After seizing Chengdu, Yu Wentai immediately ordered people to move all the people to Shu, stayed in Yuwen and led 5000 people to guard Chengdu, and led 5000 people on foot to go east to capture Chuzhou, which is now Chongqing.
Chuzhou is the gateway to Bashu, Yuwentai's plan is very clear, first close the door, and then go to encroach on the south of Shu.
Not to mention Nanliang's reaction, after Xue Guyan and Hu Luping captured Lantian Pass and Wu Pass, soon after a bloody battle, Pan Le and Hu Luxian also captured Xiao Pass.
Only Gao Cheng was left eating dirt in front of Dasan Pass. After all, the difficulty was different, and Yu Wentai didn't want to go to guard Xiao Pass.
However, after days of strong attacks, although many soldiers suffered casualties, the breakthrough is in sight.
Li Hu was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, seeing the people of Longxi and the families of the soldiers moving south, on a dark night where they could not see their fingers, he led the guards and soldiers to escape in the snow.
When Gao Cheng organized an army to attack the city again in the early morning of the next day, Dasan Pass was already empty.
After the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty took control of the city defense, Gao Cheng finally entered the Dasan Pass. He knew that Yu Wentai must have entered Shu, otherwise Li Hu would not have left.
But never expected that the entire land of Longxi has been devoid of people, no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, Yu Wentai left an open space for himself, except for some old, weak, sick and disabled who can't walk, or can't take care of the deep mountains and old forests. All the rest of the Longxi people were removed by him, not to mention any supplies left behind.
Tuyuhun Khan was originally bewitched by Yuwentai's envoy, and wanted to go east. Later, he heard about the current situation in Longshan, and learned that Gao Cheng sent troops to seize important passes. Finally, he suppressed his ambition with great difficulty and sent people to contact the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Reaffirm the friendship between the two countries.
Gao Cheng naturally received the Tuyuhun envoy with great enthusiasm, now is not the time to use troops against Tuyuhun.
Which is more important, Gao Cheng sees it most clearly, the task at this stage is to relocate the people, not only to alleviate the conflicts between the people in the Kanto region, but also to enrich the Guanlong region, and at the same time to recuperate, before making any calculations.
Although Guanlong was captured in this battle, because Yuwentai evacuated the Chang'an treasury and moved a large number of people, Gao Cheng will only be left with a blank land in Longxi. In fact, the financial deficit caused by this expedition is difficult to fill. , at least for a period of time in the future can not look south.
However, Yuwentai was playing tricks and wanted to make Tuyuhun embarrassing for him, so King Gao naturally wanted to return him a gift.
Gao Cheng was going to ease the relationship with Nanliang, and let them know that the Gao clan was unwilling to go to war for a short time. It depended on whether Xiao Yan would take advantage of this time to go west and take back the land of Shu.
However, based on his understanding of Xiao Yan, he was afraid that the other party would have to take care of the overall situation.
Xiao Yan is old, but not insane. It's one thing not to be aggressive, but it doesn't mean he can't see the current situation clearly.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Eastern Wu captured Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others repeatedly asked Liu Bei not to attack Wu.
Nanliang Chaotang estimated that there is no shortage of people who know the situation in the world.
Now that the Eastern Wei has completely conquered the northern lands, although Guanzhong is dilapidated, the population of Guandong, after a few more years of recuperation, may be stronger than the Northern Wei. After all, the Gao family is now on the rise.
But it doesn’t matter if you try it, Gao Cheng made up his mind to send Wen Zisheng to Jiankang again. You can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Seeing that Longxi had been settled, Tuyuhun showed no sign of going east, Gao Cheng was also preparing to return to Chang'an, he immediately made arrangements for Longxi, temporarily leaving General Dou Tai to lead [-] cavalry to garrison.
Gao Cheng, the general guard of Dasan Gate, preferred to transfer Wang Sizheng here. His father-in-law should rest assured about the matter of guarding the city. The reason why Wei Xiaokuan was not used was because Gao Cheng had discussed with Gao Huan before, not to place the general in Kansai. .
After all, he is only recently attached, and his loyalty has yet to be tested.
During that discussion, Gao Huan also mentioned his plan to leave Jinyang and stay in Chang'an.
In the past, the reason why Jinyang was located in Jinyang was not only that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also because it was more convenient for Jinyang to send troops to Guanzhong.
Now that Guanzhong has been captured, just like Yubi City, the strategic importance of Jinyang has declined accordingly. For the Gao family at this time, it is obviously a more appropriate choice for Gao Huan to move his base camp from Jinyang to Chang'an.
Gao Cheng left Hu Luguang to temporarily guard Dasan Pass, waiting for Wang Sizheng to come to take over, and was about to return to the teacher, but unexpectedly received a bad news from Chang'an.
I only wrote 1 words for two consecutive days, which is [-] short of the goal. Make up for it, but my wrist is indeed much better.
I rest first, the next chapter is at six in the afternoon.
Thanks to book friends 150203165037161 and Dingla for their rewards.
