Chapter 492
In Anding City, Xu Rong did not scold Guo Huai for his mistakes, but chose to deploy troops immediately.Strengthen Chen Cang's troops, stabilize the pass leading to the Western Regions, and take the initiative to retreat to stabilize the troops in the hinterland of Yongliang.

Cheng Yu, who was preparing to storm Anding City, immediately withdrew from Tianshui after learning of Xu Rong's troop movements, and camped at the north and south ends of Xiegu.Controlling Xiegu is equivalent to controlling the initiative of Yongliang's troops to attack and retreat.

In Tianshui City, Cheng Yu asked the soldiers to rest immediately, and Cao Ren also immediately opened warehouses to replenish Cheng Yu's army.

"Mr. Cheng made a great achievement today, and the king must be delighted. This street pavilion is the main throat for our army to send troops to Yongliang. Once it is controlled by our army, it will be like putting a knife on Xu Rong's neck!" Cao Ren showed admiration. , he asked himself that he had been guarding the Yongliang area for many years, but he still couldn't successfully raid Jieting.

Cheng Yu seemed very happy, but he also snorted softly, and said, "This Xu Rong is not easy to deal with. In the past few days, I have successively conquered many counties in the southwest of Anding City, but found that basically I have not received any strong resistance. According to my inference , Xu Rong has gathered his troops in Jieting, Anding, Wuzhangyuan, and Tongguan. These places are connected in a line, forming the best barrier to protect the Jingzhao area. Fast enough, this Xu Rong is worthy of being a veteran!"

Cao Ren also nodded, and said, "If it wasn't for a tough guy, that bastard Han Pengju wouldn't let him guard Liangzhou alone. If so, what does the military adviser think our army should do?"

Hearing Cao Ren's question, Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Defend! The general is best at letting go. This is our advantage. If we keep Jieting, Tianshui and Xiabian to the fore, half of Yongliang is under Qin's control." in the hands of the country."

"Shou?" Cao Ren's strong body trembled, showing a puzzled expression.

Cheng Yu nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, that is to keep!"With Han Wu's personality, he would send light cavalry like Baima Yicong to support Yongliang.Bai Mayi has never been good at attacking, as long as we guard it is enough.With Jieting, the fertile land on the Tianshui side can allow the general to be self-sufficient, so that he can look for the next opportunity to raid the Jin State. "

Cao Ren looked at Cheng Yu with admiration, now he finally knew why the King respected Cheng Yu so much, and gave him the military power in Yongliang.

"Okay! Then I'll deploy my troops. The military commander can return to Chengdu first. It's just that Zhang Xiu's army...can you lend it to the general to guard Xiabian?" Cao Ren asked, hoping to get Zhang Xiu's help .

With Zhang Xiu guarding the next debate, Cao Ren guarantees that even if Xu Rong has an army of 30, he will never be able to take any piece of land in the northern border of Qin State!
"Okay! Then I'll let Zhang Xiu guard Xiabian, and the general is responsible for guarding Tianshui City." Cheng Yu agreed to Cao Ren's request, and he planned to return to Chengdu right away.

In the court hall of Qin State in Chengdu, Cao Cao laughed out loud, overjoyed.

The news of Cheng Yu's raid and capture of Jieting has been sent back to Chengdu, which is a great thing.With Jieting, Qin State can put all the army into the land of Yongliang.

"Hahaha! Master Cheng is indeed Gu's favorite talent. With him, why should Gu be afraid of mere Xu Rong? After tomorrow's spring planting, Gu will conquer Yongliang himself, and he will definitely conquer Xu Rong!" Cao Cao was overjoyed. Can't wait to send troops immediately.If it weren't for Qin's insufficient food and logistics, and his son Cao Zhi had lost a large number of recruits, Cao Cao would have to go north immediately in the next few days.

"My ministers congratulate you on the victory of the king's flag, and you will succeed in no time!" All the officials congratulated, although most of them were flattering, but Cao Cao was still very happy.

After retiring from the imperial court, Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and asked Fazheng and Sima Yi who were huddled beside him: "You two tell the truth, if the father conquers himself, can he conquer Yongliang?"

Sima Yi looked around with a jackal expression on his face, signaling Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu to keep the other officials away.

Seeing Sima Yi's expression and demeanor, Cao Pi knew that he was not optimistic about sending troops to Yongliang in the spring of next year.

There were no one around to join in the fun, so Sima Yi said: "I won't be defeated, but I will definitely return without success."

Cao Pi was a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Why?"

Fazheng sighed, and said: "The countries in the Western Regions, Huang Zhong's army, and Baima Yicong! With these, it will be very difficult to conquer Yongliang."

After hearing Fazheng's explanation, Cao Pi also nodded, realizing that Yongliang is indeed not easy to be conquered.

"Besides, if I were Han Wu, I would let Suanni Iron Cavalry intervene in the Xincheng battlefield and disrupt our Great Qin and Han Central Army! If the Han Central Army is in chaos, Chengdu will have to send troops to support it, and the King will not be able to concentrate on attacking Yongliang." Sima Yi Sighing, he was very dissatisfied with the king's decision to mobilize troops this time.

Cao Pi was thoughtful, and after standing still, he looked at the clear sky.

The autumn wind was rustling and the weather was not bad, but Cao Pi began to worry.

"I'm going to the harem to meet my father, you go back first!" Cao Pi was going to suggest that his father should not send troops next year, but he also knew that this might not help.

Jin State Xudu
Han Wu distributed the beauties sent by Sun Wu to the meritorious soldiers, and now he is distributing the first batch of female captives from Yamatai sent by Qi Jiguang.

Older female captives are taken to work as female laborers, and young and beautiful female captives are assigned to the soldiers as slaves. Now the morale of the Jin army is skyrocketing!
In the Hexiang Bieyuan, Xun You frowned, stood in front of Han Wu respectfully and asked, "Your Highness, among the sinners sent back by General Qi Jiguang, many are high-ranking officials of the Yamatai Kingdom. Look..."

"Kill! As for their offspring, all men, whether they are old or young, will be killed. Women will be dealt with according to the rules. If girls under the age of 15 can learn my Chinese language within three years, they will be freed. They can't learn Chinese. And women over the age of 15 are allocated to meritorious soldiers. You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with foreigners." Han Wu narrowed his eyes, and his methods were fierce and decisive.

"But...Your Highness, nowadays there are many aristocratic families who criticize you in private for this tyrannical act. I think it is not appropriate to cut grass and roots like this. After all, benevolence is also very important. I think...!" Before Xun You finished speaking, Han Wu interrupted.

"Why? Is it because the Yingchuan Xun family thinks there is something wrong with my Han Pengju's actions? It's just a foreigner, so kill as soon as you kill it. Gongda must understand that this Jin country is my father's Jin country, not an aristocratic family. The Jin Kingdom of the great family!" Han Wu narrowed his eyes, showing a little bit of his attitude towards the great family.

Nowadays, Han Wu knows that the development of the Jin State cannot be separated from the support of the aristocratic family, but he is even more aware that the root of the rise and fall of a dynasty also comes from the aristocratic family.The gentry, Han Wu will suppress or even destroy them sooner or later, but not now.
