Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 656 Warlike

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

The news traveled six hundred miles to Luoyang, and Li Yue was not surprised.

These days, a few people dare to claim kingship and hegemony. Liangzhou is far away from the Central Plains, and there are many people who are ambitious and want to fish in troubled waters. No one raises an army to rebel, but it is a strange thing.

Tufa and Juqu were both professional households in the history of rebellion.

"Why did these people stand still when Yao Chang raised his troops?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

Cui Hong has a good relationship with him. The two families have been married for generations and they are cousins. He explained: "Of course there is someone colluding in it. Otherwise, how could several forces break out at the same time overnight?"

The power of pulling strings in private has long been no secret.

Li Yue suppressed the monks, took away their property, land, and money, and even prohibited the construction of bronze statues. He also supported the Taoist monks, and he has become the "enemy of the Buddha" in the mouth of the monks in Hexi.

If the interests of others are touched, of course they will resist to the death.

"Several major noble families are not involved, these people are not worth mentioning." Li Yue wished they would all jump out and give him a chance to do something.

Li Yue wanted complete actual control of Liangzhou, not nominal surrender.

So sooner or later we will collide with these forces.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, just explode them all and then bulldoze them all at once.

Just like the Cao Wei period, Liangzhou also rebelled repeatedly. In the end, Emperor Wu of Wei simply sent the famous general Cao Zhen to launch the Hexi War. He defeated the barbarians in Hexi in one battle, beheaded more than 50,000 people, and gained 100,000 lives and 1.11 million sheep. Mouth, eighty thousand cattle.

After killing 50,000 people and capturing 100,000 prisoners, Hexi became an honest man from then on, and also frightened the Western Regions by the way. The kings of Shanshan, Qiuci, and Khotan each sent envoys to pay tribute, and Cao Wei's rule extended into the Western Regions.

Before you want to naturalize these Yi Di, you must let them see blood.

And Wang Meng's memorial also means the same thing.

"The Yi and Di are afraid of power but have no morals. The barbarians are stubborn and stubborn. They surrender and rebel again, and rebel and surrender again. They have no faith at all. They should kill them decisively and suppress them with authority. There will be no trouble in the west of the river..."

Looking at the whole world, he is the only one who dares to do this.

"However, Dai Guo is also involved, I'm afraid this battle will not be small." Cui Hong said with cupped hands.

"Oh? Tuoba Shi Yijian is here too?" Li Yue's eyes lit up.

It was too difficult to annihilate the main force of the Dai Kingdom on the grassland. Tuoba Shi Yijian turned around and left when he saw the Black Cloud Army.

Now that he is involved in the Hexi Rebellion, it is a good opportunity to severely damage him.

It's not easy to catch once.

"Tuoba Shiyijian sent Tuoba Gu and 20,000 riders to help." Cui Hong pulled out an intelligence report.

"It's a pity that Tuoba Shiyijian is not here." Li Yue felt a little regretful.

Now that the Liang Kingdom is at its peak, the food and grass in the treasury are enough to support this war.

Moreover, this war was not in vain. Cao Zhen could get 1.2 million cattle and sheep. Wang Meng and Murong Chui only needed to get 200,000 to 300,000 head of livestock to cover the cost. If he got more than 400,000 head of livestock, he would make a big profit.

These days, Liangzhou is no longer a desert, but a land of abundant water and grass.

If I lose my Qilian Mountain, my animals will have no rest; if I lose my Yanzhi Mountain, my women will lose their color.

The Shandan Racecourse built by Huo Qubing in Liangzhou is the largest and most excellent pasture in the world. Historically, after the Northern Wei Dynasty wiped out the "Five Liangs" decades later, the scale of the racecourse was expanded. In more than ten years, more than 200 horses were raised in Liangzhou. Ten thousand, one million camels, countless cattle and sheep.

This is the significance of actual control of Liangzhou. The fat sheep in Hexi are not only these Qianghu tribes, but also fat and oily Samanas. Don’t underestimate their ability to amass money. Even if they are as rich as the enemy, they are too weak. They curb business with the outside world and exploit believers internally. They have been doing this for decades. Who has money without money?

This era is not called believing in the Buddha, nor is it called worshiping the Buddha, but worshiping the Buddha.

These are just economic benefits, there are also strategic benefits.

The importance of the Hexi Corridor can be seen from the Han Dynasty's counterattack against the Xiongnu. Taking this place can suppress Mobei and connect the Western Regions.

On the contrary, if this place is controlled by Tuoba Shiyijian or other forces, there will never be peace in Guanzhong, and it will even be a pity to hit the territory from the north and west.

The strategic significance is not small.

"The reason why the barbarians are so rampant is because they have not personally tried the force of Daliang. Peace in the world is achieved by fighting, not by compromise. This battle should be completed in one battle. Send an order, and all the Xuanjia Army and Black Cloud Xiaoqi will be mobilized. Enter the pass and listen to Wang Jinglue's orders!"

Li Yue has made up his mind. The name of the reign of Hongxing is really correct. Everything in the world is between swords and soldiers!

From ancient times to the present, only weapons can support the backbone of a civilization, and everything else is false.

I have never seen a civilization that is rich and can still stand firm in the long history.

Now is the time when Daliang's weapons and weapons are at their strongest. If we don't go out to attack, plunder and expand, will we still have to let Nanshan go?

Li Yue had no interest in imitating Zhuge Wuhou's seven captures and seven movements, and he did not want to invest huge manpower and material resources like the Eastern Han Dynasty and be hampered by Hexi Qianghu, so this sword must not only be fast, but also ruthless!

Knives solve problems most efficiently and thoroughly.

"Wei." Everyone cupped their hands.

But this time Chang Wei did not stop him, and both the DPRK and the Chinese government agreed to send troops to show the powerful military power of Daliang to the Western Regions, Qianghu, and Liangzhou gentry.

To get powerful people in Guan You, you must first conquer their hearts.

Some wars must be fought. If we don’t fight them now, they will be more difficult and costly in the future.

"Daliang is still afraid of the rebellion of several barbarian tribes in Liangzhou? After the sword war, Liangzhou will be a clean Liangzhou." Li Yue smiled murderously.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone praised him together.

If he hadn't been the emperor, Li Yue would have killed him with his sword.

Habits developed over the past twenty years cannot be changed overnight.

There were only more than 1,700 Liangjiazi recruited from various places. Li Yue did not have time to break them in and train them, so he could only learn war through war.

The Xuanjia Army plus the Heiyunxiao Cavalry in Luoyang totaled 21,000 cavalry, cooperating with the armies of Wang Meng, Wei Shan, Murong Chui, Xue Qiang, Fu Ya, Zhang Hao, Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan, Murong Ling, and Fu Ya The integration of the generals is enough to plow the court and sweep the holes once.

Spring plowing has just begun, and everyone in the Liang Kingdom is busy.

Sometimes war can unite people's hearts.

The Liangzhou rebellion seemed to be fierce, but in fact it was divided into several forces, unable to form a joint force and fighting independently.

How could these forces be the opponents of Wang Meng and Murong Chui?

However, not all the Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou followed the rebellion. The Qifu, Siyin, Chulian, Chilu and other Xianbei tribes in the Yuanchuan (today's Yuzhong, Gansu) and Yongshichuan areas declared their submission to Daliang and obeyed the dispatch of the Zhengxi General's Office. , dispatched 20,000 cavalry to assist Liang Jun in his expedition.

Another branch of Lu Shuihu's Peng tribe also announced its submission to Daliang.

Before Liang Jun arrived, Lu Shuihu started killing each other.

The war in the west is imminent. In fact, it will have little impact on Kanto. It is just a local war. The people are still engaged in busy spring plowing and are full of vitality.
