1226 Lao Qiang marched eastward

Weishui continues to flow to the west, and a very important tributary is extended in Yongxian County called Huangshui, Huangshui originates from Longshan, and its water flows through the area is a Guanzhong old road that is extremely important from ancient times to the present, which is Longdao, also known as Longban Road or Longguan Road, and the name is basically Longshan and Longguan in Longshan during the Han Dynasty.

This Longdao is an important passage connecting Longshang Tianshui, Longxi and other counties in Guanzhong, in the early years, Longshang Haoqiang Chen An was powerful because of the occupation of this passage, and called himself King Liang. With the Jin army's westward expedition and Sanfu's shock, Liangzhou's eastward advance and Longshang's uproar, this passage became noisy again.

There are many strong beams in Longshang, either in order to avoid the pressure of the Zhang family in Liangzhou, or they want to rush into the Guanzhong to get a piece of the pie, and they have set foot in Longdao and come eastward. And the most powerful of them is led by Yao Yizhong, a Qiang person.

The Yao clan Qiang people, the fate is also bumpy, the Later Han Dynasty attached to Shun to live in Longshang Nan'an County. When the Yongjia Rebellion broke out, Guanzhong was also greatly shaken, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yao Yizhong led the crowd from Longshang to Sanfu, living in Fufeng County Xiayumei, that is, the north bank of Huangshui.

Later, Liu Yao of the Han Dynasty ruled Guanzhong, and moved the Yao Yizhong tribe back to Longshang, and placed them in Luoyang, where the Di people were strong.

And Yao Yizhong's luck is slightly better than that of Pu Hong, another border leader, because although the Di people in Lüyang are powerful, these Di people are not completely united as a whole, plus there are also Jin people and many miscellaneous people living together in Lüyang, the situation is much more complicated, and there is no single xenophobia.

Therefore, after the Yao family settled in Luoyang, they did not have the embarrassing experience of being expelled by the three auxiliary Jin people and the right as the Pu family, and Yao Yizhong and his people were also changeable, wise and brave, and quite prestigious, and their power increased a lot.

Longshang Haoqiang entered Sanfu in the east, which was not a short-term craze, such as Liu Changming, the puppet Han king who is now known as Hao Beidi, is a first-mover representative.

Since then, there have been people who have been following suit, but long-distance migration is not easy, if the cohesion itself is insufficient, and the natural and man-made disasters continue on the way, it will probably fall apart, or be annexed by the Haoyou along the way, even if you are lucky enough to arrive at the realm, you may not be accepted by the locals, and there is a high probability that you will become a wandering refugee.

Although Yao's foothold in Guanzhong has not been long ago, after all, he has had the experience of too much Sanfu management, although he has moved back to Longshang for many years, but he is still concerned about the living environment of Sanfu that is much more superior than that of Longshang. It's just that Yao Yizhong himself has no lack of experience in moving far away, and he knows the danger in it, so he pressed it a little and continued to accumulate strength in Longshang to wait for a better opportunity.

Different from other Hu chiefs' blind ferocity, Yao Yizhong does not take pleasure in bullying the weak, but has a benevolent and benevolent style, which can be said to be a means of survival based on the troubled times in Longshang, but it is indeed due to temperament.

Among the many heroes and powers in Longshang who regard human life as a mustard, Yao Yizhong is quite popular in the name of relief and compassion, and many Jin and Hu Shengmin rely on it to survive, and the strength of the tribe has also surged.

As the attack of the Zhang clan in Liangzhou became more and more fierce, and the living environment in Longshang became more and more harsh, Yao Yizhong finally made up his mind to lead the tribe to embark on the road to Sanfu in the east again. And this move, in addition to the tens of thousands of people in its headquarters, there are many large and small forces around it, and all of a sudden, there are 120,000 people in Longshang who are coming to Guanzhong.

Of course, it is impossible for these people to respect Yao's orders, but because of the strength of Yao's power and the prestige of Yao Yizhong himself, Yao's has become a benchmark in this wave of shareholder relocation.

Today's Longdao, there is no order for a long time, and there is basically no human obstruction. Moreover, the Yao clan was also quite well prepared in terms of materials, so the first half of the journey was quite smooth. Especially after passing through Longguan, Yao Yizhong received a show of favor from Jing Zhaohao Qiang Du Hong, and the other party expressed his willingness to help Yao's family gain a foothold in Fufeng, and of course, they should also echo and help each other militarily.

Although he lives far away in Longshang, he doesn't know much about the detailed situation of Sanfu, but Yao Yizhong is not ignorant of the changes in the situation of Guanzhongda, especially the Jin army in Zhongzhou and Chen Bing Sanfu, he has already heard about it.

However, these things are too far away for Yao Yizhong, he is just a small and powerful Bianhu leader who intends to move inward to Sanfu, and the most important task in front of him is to lead the tribe back to the Huangyang area where he lived and operated in the early years and be able to successfully gain a foothold, as for whether to join the so-called hegemony struggle in Guanzhong, it is not within the scope of his consideration for the time being.

But Du Hongnai is the representative of Jingzhao Haoqiang, since his people are so courteous, Yao Yizhong naturally has no reason to refuse, and even put forward several requests such as cutting off Shiping, Fufeng and other counties in the western border of Jingzhao as tribal territories, and Du Hong also said that he would provide some help.

Yao Yizhong naturally wouldn't take Du Hong's promise seriously, but from this, he could see a general situation of the division of forces in Guanzhong, that is, there were basically no big forces in the western border of Jingzhao, otherwise Du Hong would not dare to make such a casual promise.

This is naturally very good news for Yao Yizhong, so on the way, he began to integrate and gather the forces under his command, and accelerated his progress, intending to sweep the Youfufeng County with lightning speed, and dominate this blank area of power as the sphere of influence for his clan to recuperate.

As for the Jin army from Zhongzhou, it is not within Yao Yizhong's consideration, on the one hand, he lives far away in Longshang, and he does not have a definite concept of whether the Jin army is strong or not, and on the other hand, there is a so-called ally Du Hong in front of him who is resisting the pressure of the Jin army.

As for whether to surrender or resist the Jin army in the future, that is a question that needs to be considered later. At the moment, his main task is to make the occupation of Fufu-gun a given fact.

After moving to Longshang for a few years, although the Yao clan has been greatly expanded to tens of thousands, the number of soldiers who are really refined in war is only a few thousand, one is limited in the clan, and the other is limited in bows, knives, armor and other equipment.

However, sweeping and separating the wind is a huge opportunity to determine the future of the entire tribe, Yao Yizhong naturally knows the great significance of it, and naturally will not have any reservations, and even some people who are old but still have weak strength are levied, and they are given bamboo and wood weapons without bows and knives, and the cattle and horses carried by this trip are sufficient, and they have also compiled 7,000 people.

In addition, Yao Yizhong also levied Jianli from other tribes accompanying him, and obtained more than 3,000 soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 people on foot, numbered 50,000 troops, and marched towards the first destination, the Huangyang area.

The so-called 50,000 troops, the real core strength, those who can get bows and swords, and good horses, there are also more than 3,000 people, who were gathered by Yao Yizhong as the choice of the Chinese army to suppress the formation and pull out the strong, and they were personally commanded by him. As for the other troops, although they are slightly inferior in armament and combat effectiveness, they are far beyond ordinary bandits and bandits, and they are more than enough to defeat those ordinary rural armed forces.

With such a powerful military force in his hands, it is enough to sweep away Fufeng County, which has no strong enemies in the territory, in Yao Yizhong's opinion, and even a real elite and strong army can be worth a battle.

In fact, just as Yao Yizhong expected, after the crowd turned over Longban and really entered Guanzhong, they were like a bamboo, and there were occasional bandits in the realm, and they were all not enemies with one blow, or they were defeated by the general trend, or surrendered, which was more beneficial to their military strength.

In addition to exterminating and annexing those wandering soldiers, Yao Yizhong was also uprooting the township mansion walls encountered along the way one by one. His troops soon went straight to Wangcheng near the Huangshui, which was the habitat of his family in Fufeng in the early years.

However, in the vicinity of Huangcheng, Yao encountered resistance, and several vanguard troops from outside the country suffered setbacks one after another, and if they were lucky, they fled back in embarrassment, and if they were unlucky, they were all wiped out.

After perceiving this vision, Yao Yizhong couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart, and sent someone to make a deep inquiry, only to learn that the enemy encountered near Huangcheng was actually the Jin army he didn't think he would encounter at this stage!

The Jin army soldiers have actually penetrated deep into Sanfu, and even rushed to Longdao!

Originally, in his opinion, this problem should be a choice after occupying the entire territory of Fufeng, but now his department has just entered Fufeng, and he has not even entered the original destination of Wangyang, so it was so sudden and unexpected!

What the situation in Jingzhao is, Yao Yizhong doesn't know, even if there is more news from Du Hong, Yao Yizhong doesn't dare to be too convinced of this unreliable ally.

After tightening the military situation, he continued to investigate the Huangyang side, and generally figured out the situation of the Jin army on the opposite side, which was a cavalry team of the Jin army with a number of three or four thousand people all the way, which should be the vanguard of the Jin army. Because in the surrounding realm, including some local people in Wangyang, most of them did not know the news that the Jin army had rushed into this realm.

After some weighing, Yao Yizhong took back the foreign scouts, put on a posture of tens of thousands of strong troops slowly advancing along the water, and at the same time sent envoys to contact the Jin army, since Chen Longshang's remnants of tens of thousands of people traveled eastward, and did not intend to interfere with the Jin army's strategy in Guanzhong, only hoped to return to the homeland of Huangyang to recuperate, if it could be released, its tribe and the people who depended on it, and tens of thousands of households were willing to return to righteousness and be controlled by the Jin people.

However, the words sent back by the commander of the Jin army on the other side were arrogant to the extreme: "The old town of Qin, the homeland of China, there is no inch of land for Eryi Township!" Wang Shi is now in retreat to kill thieves, and he will wait for the border soldiers to retreat outside Longguan quickly, so that there will be no knife and soldier fighting for the time being. Anyone who dares to take a close look at China's affairs will be on the road to the end of the road! ”

Being humiliated like this, Yao Yizhong's heart was ashamed to imagine, although he was unwilling to directly fight the Jin army as an enemy, but the army had reached this point, and it was no longer up to him to decide how to advance or retreat, especially after a long journey of several months, hundreds of thousands of people behind him also urgently needed a base to recuperate.

As a result, whether Yao Yizhong wanted it or not, he had to gather a large army and go straight to the city occupied by the Jin army.
