Four years of light and winter.

A sudden attack once again broke the nearly one-year peace between Xianbei and Dahan.

Liangzhou was suddenly invaded by the Xianbei people.

The new Shanyu of Xianbei and his relatives led an army of [-] to wreak havoc in the three counties of Beidi, Anding, and Wuwei. The people in the three places were miserable for a while.

Liu Han, who was in Bingzhou, naturally received the information and looked sad, "Didn't He Lian threaten to kill me? Why didn't he come to Bingzhou this winter instead of going to Liangzhou to cause trouble?"

The three northern states are actually similar, with Han and Hu mixed together. After Liu Han's iron-blooded methods in Bingzhou, the southern Huns were beaten to their last breath and began to develop in the direction of the Han people.

But Youzhou and Liangzhou are different. In addition to the Han people, Youzhou also has some Wuhuan people. These people are not very stable at the moment, but their threat is by no means as great as Xianbei.

Not to mention Liangzhou, the degree of mixing between Han and Hu is even greater. There are about 50 Han people in Liangzhou, and even more Hu people, perhaps millions in number.

"Liangzhou. Liangzhou"

Liu Han tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, thinking about Liangzhou in his mind.

When you mention Liangzhou, you will definitely think of "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Han, a frontier poet from the Tang Dynasty.

"The luminous cup of wine and grapes, if you want to drink the pipa, please remind me immediately.

Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times? "

During the period of Emperor Wu, the Central Plains Dynasty began to expand to the northwest. According to the "Book of Han", in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106), Emperor Wu "merged the systems of Xia and Zhou, changed Yong to Liang, changed Liang to Yi, and created thirteen tribes. Appoint the governor."

In other words, Emperor Wu expanded the country from the original Kyushu to thirteen governors, and renamed the original Yongzhou to Liangzhou to govern the newly occupied land in the northwest.

The main reason why Emperor Wu traveled to the northwest was to counterattack the Xiongnu attacks. At that time, the strategy was very clear. If he wanted to suppress the steppe people like the Xiongnu, or even eliminate them, it would not be solved by a few key battles. The Huns could not defeat the Han people. At the worst possible time, they would give up polishing the darkness and escape to Mobei.

The shortcoming of the Han people is that they cannot gain a foothold in the desert and pursue the Huns fleeing north, resulting in huge losses and little gain.

Therefore, in order to cut off the supply problem of the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu began to expand to the northwest, maintaining the stability of the Hexi Corridor while also exploring the Western Regions.

"The most important point in the world is the national vassal guard."

In just eight words, the importance of Liangzhou is self-evident.

During the Emperor Ming incident, the Qiang rebelled for more than ten years, which once spread to northern Yizhou. The imperial court also discussed whether to abandon Liangzhou. In the end, the Qiang rebellion was put down after almost emptying the treasury.

(It has been more than ten years since the Qiang rebellion, and the senior soldiers of the military company cannot rest in peace for a while. More than 240 billion were spent on military expenses, transportation and transport, and the government funds were exhausted. Extending to the inner counties, countless people on the border died, and the cold The two states were thus wasted.)
This is the reason why Liangzhou has never been able to develop - chaos!

This is the reason why there are fewer Han people in Liangzhou than foreigners - chaos!

This is also the reason why the folk customs in the Yongliang area are fierce, the army's combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than that of other states, and there are even many famous generals appearing all the time - Chaos!

In such a social background, an ordinary person cannot survive at all without being able to punch or kick.

Kansai will produce generals, and Kanto will produce prime ministers.Many of the martyrs and warriors came from Liangzhou, and their local customs were strong, so they practiced military affairs.

Liangzhou is an important passage of the Silk Road, a strategic place to "isolate the Qiang and Hu", a bridgehead for the management of the Western Regions, a natural barrier to protect Chang'an, a prosperous place with developed economy, and an important station for exchanges between China and the West. , and it is also a training base for elite soldiers.

"Liangzhou, we must not lose it."

Liu Han had made a decision in his heart, but there was no imperial edict. If he sent troops to Liangzhou privately, it would be treason. He could only sit here and worry.The battlefield is changing rapidly and fighter opportunities are fleeting. Especially in this era, leisure is more important.

Only Jia Xu on the side said: "My lord, something doesn't smell right here."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Liu Han still attached great importance to Jia Xu's opinions. Chen Shou's evaluation of him was not low, "Jia Xu, as a common man, has almost no leftover strategies. After he has made contingency plans, he is the best and the best!"

To use a joke, Jia Xu is "the top player in the Three Kingdoms version of Game of Thrones."

"My lord, Xianbei has invaded Yongliang this year uncharacteristically. He must have a plan."

Xi Zhicai: "What do you mean by Wen He? Why don't you tell us in detail, and I'll give you some advice together."

After several months of getting along with each other, Xi Zhicai had already realized that the lord's new advisor was simple and honest on the surface, and seemed to have nothing to do with the world, but in fact he was an old fox who could play with people's hearts and should not be underestimated.

"My lord, everyone," Jia Xu first stood up and saluted, and then said, "In the past 20 years, Xianbei has almost always invaded You and Bing prefectures on a large scale, and has never attacked Yongliang.

The reason is that the people of Yongliang are strong and there are many Qiang and Hu. Bingzhou.

After that, Xianbei rarely invaded Liangzhou, because if they went south to Liangzhou, they would be counterattacked by the Han, Qiang and even Di people. But Bingzhou and Youzhou were different. There were mostly Han people in these two states, so they could grab more things. "

Everyone nodded in approval after hearing this.

Jushou: "I dare to ask Wen He, what is Helian's plan to invade Liangzhou?"

"If you are Helian, what should be the first thing you do after becoming a Chanyu?"

After everyone thought for a while, Xi Zhicai spoke first: "Of course I want to seek revenge from my lord."

Yes, everyone suddenly realized that according to the character of the Xianbei people, they must avenge themselves, let alone such a blood feud. If He Lian didn't come to Bingzhou, how could he convince everyone?

Jushou also expressed his thoughts, "Is it possible that Helian knew that he could not defeat his lord with his current strength, so he planned to retreat and do the next best thing and plunder Liangzhou. On the one hand, he could grab supplies, and on the other On the one hand, he has indeed avenged his own people, and his majesty has been established."

"If we settle for the next best thing, why not Youzhou but Liangzhou?"

"Perhaps he has received orders from his lord to coordinate the military affairs of You and the two states, and he does not dare to invade the territory. The only option left is Liangzhou."

"Then the question is, if you want to establish your authority and plunder, you must win a big victory. Although Xianbei was severely damaged by Xu Rong and Huang Zhong last year, more than [-] people could be taken out. Where are the others? ?”

Liu Han also gradually came back to his senses and asked a key question. Although the Xianbei people lost [-] lives and injuries in the battle last year, the tribal people were not seriously injured. There are definitely more than [-] people who can take action. The remaining people will where?

"Ban Khan Mountain?"

Jushou was not sure and said speculatively: "After all, they were attacked by the lord once, and the Xianbei people are not stupid. Before going south this time, will half of them be left in Danhan Mountain to prevent the lord from surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao?"

"It's possible, but it's not the Xianbei style."

Xi Zhicai followed.

"It seems that the water in Xianbei this year is deeper than last year."
