Huangfu Li is a native of Xiliang, and he understands the feelings of Han Yi and the generals of Xiliang very well. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info He, like Han Yi, also wants to kill the Qiang people as soon as possible to regain the territory. But the reality is very ruthless, the imperial court has exhausted everything in order to attack Luoyang, and it is in urgent need of recuperation, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been fighting for more than half a year, and they are also in urgent need of rest, and in the short term, it is impossible for the army to move west to Pingqiang.

Yang Fu's words made it difficult for Huangfu Li to answer, if it were him, he might make the same choice as Han Yi. As for whether the people of Xiliang respect the Son of Heaven in Jicheng or the Son of Heaven in Xiangyang, it doesn't really matter. For them, the most important thing is to keep their home and this beautiful territory.

Yang Fu said again: "Jia Wenhe persuaded us in his letter that we should focus on Western Xinjiang and the Great Han Society, isn't it for the sake of Western Xinjiang and the Great Han Society?" Today's western Xinjiang has fallen under the iron hooves of the Qiang people, is it still necessary for us to have time to argue here about where the Son of Heaven and the imperial court should be honored? Retaking the western frontier and defending the territory is the most important thing. ”

Huangfu Li thought for a long time, and his heart moved. He had already understood the meaning of Han Yi and Yang Fu's words, but his power in Chang'an was too small, and if he wanted to help the Xiliang people quickly defeat the Qiang people and regain the territory, he had to get Zhang Liao's support. Behind Zhang Liaode is the general, and only with the consent of the general can there be hope for Western Xinjiang.

Zhang Liao nodded slowly under the forced gaze of Huangfu Li and Yang Fu, and said, "I will contact the lord immediately." ”

In mid-September, Han Yi told Liu Bei the news sent by Chang'an as quickly as possible.

Liu Bei was very surprised, Luoyang fell so early, which greatly surprised him, and Yuan Shao died, and the pillars of the Xiangyang court fell, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Xiangyang court.

If this news is true, there is no point in beating Chen Cang again.

Liu Bei consulted with Zhao Ang, Liu Yan and others. Liu Yan thought that this might be Chang'an's delaying tactic, the purpose was to stabilize Han Yi in order to keep the Shangqi defense line and ensure the safety of Guanzhong. He advised to ignore it and continue the attack.

Zhao Ang said: "Whether this news is true or false has nothing to do with the overall situation. At present, the Northern Xinjiang Army has deployed heavy troops on the front line of Dasanguan and Chencang, and it will definitely not be able to fight hard. The army could not break through Chencang, so Zhoucang, who raided Chang'an from the Meridian Road, was very likely to be wiped out because he could not get the replenishment of grain and grass. ”

"Therefore, in the current situation, we should change our strategy in time and occupy the western frontier instead, so as to maintain a continuous threat to Guanzhong, ease the tension in the Central Plains, Jianghuai and Jingxiang, and quickly promote the emergence of a confrontation between the north and the south, so as to buy time for the imperial court to restore its strength and make the northern expedition to the Central Plains. Of course, if this news is true, we should change our attack strategy immediately. ”

Liu Bei accepted Zhao Ang's suggestion, and while he sent someone to order Zhou Cang to lead the army to withdraw to Hanzhong, he quickly rushed to Longnan to join the main force of the army, and at the same time asked Cao Bao and Liu Yan to lead the army to continue the feint attack on Dasanguan. Together with Zhao Ang, he led the army to the battlefield in Longxi.

In mid-September, the flying pigeon sent Zhang Liao's letter to Luoyang.

Zhang Liao suggested that a plan to drive away tigers and wolves should be implemented in western Xinjiang. The Qiang people are like a pack of wolves, and Liu Bei and Han Yi are two tigers. If the imperial court allowed the situation in the western frontier to get out of control at this moment and let the tigers and wolves occupy the western frontier, even if the army occupied Hexi and formed a commanding position against Longxi, it would be difficult to pacify the western frontier as quickly as possible at the lowest cost. If the tiger is driven and the wolf is devoured by the tiger, the rest is a game of two tigers.

For the people of Western Xinjiang, every inch of land in Western Xinjiang is as precious as their lives, and whoever can let them defend Western Xinjiang and their land is their friend, on the contrary, they are enemies. Liu Bei can help them now, so he is a friend, but Liu Bei is an alien tiger, and Liu Bei needs all the things that Xijiang can provide him with to survive, so the people of Xijiang can't tolerate him. Once the threat of wolves is lifted, Liu Bei is going to occupy their land, and the contradiction will come.

Who can help them get rid of Liu Bei? It's just us. Our strength is extremely strong, although it is currently difficult to pacify the western frontier, but our strength is enough to destroy the combined power of Liu Bei and Han Yi. When the two tigers fight, it will be the day when we send troops to the western frontier.

drove out Liu Bei, the imperial court's army was stationed in Western Xinjiang, the imperial court can help the people of Western Xinjiang to defend the land, the imperial court can help the people of Western Xinjiang to live a stable life, and the people of Western Xinjiang can give them what they need, so that Western Xinjiang can be stable.

But in order to achieve this strategy, the army must be completely withdrawn from the southern part of Western Xinjiang, so that the Western Liang army can do its best to join forces with Liu Bei to attack the Qiang.

This was the ultimate goal of Han Yi sending Yang Fu to Shangqi to persuade Huangfu Li and Zhang Liao.

At the end of his letter, Zhang Liao said that the population of Western Xinjiang was mainly concentrated in the two counties of Hanyang and Wudu, and that the population of other counties was no more than 10,000 or 20,000. Last year, the imperial court withdrew more than 100,000 people from Hanyang County and Jincheng County in Western Xinjiang, so Western Xinjiang is now not only sparsely populated, but also extremely short of grain and grass. At present, if Han Yi and Liu Bei want to defeat the Qiang people, they can only rely on the support of Hanzhong and Bashu, but it is very difficult for Yizhou's grain to be transported to Western Xinjiang. In other words, it will take a long time for Han Yi and Liu Bei to recapture the two counties of Longxi and Jincheng, and the two armies will not only have to pay an astonishing price, but Yizhou will also pay an astonishing amount of money, which is only good for us.

In the future, if Yizhou is unwilling to continue to support Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Han Yi will not be able to defeat the Qiang people, and the final outcome can be imagined. And after the Qiang people suffered a joint blow from them, they suffered great losses, their strength plummeted, and their threat to us was greatly reduced. The benefits of this for our future westward march to counter-insurgency are self-evident.

Li Yi and Xu Maogong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others discussed for a long time, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to accept Zhang Liao's suggestion.

Li Yi ordered that before the army advanced westward to Pingqiang, the offensive and defensive strategies of the western Xinjiang should be adjusted.

For the northwest of Western Xinjiang, that is, the Hexi region, the policy of using Hu to control Hu was adopted, using the strength of the Xianbei and Xiongnu to defeat and drive out the Qiang people, recover and occupy Hexi, and establish a commanding advantage over the Longxi region of Xiliang.

For the southwest of Western Xinjiang, that is, the Hehuang region, the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf was adopted, using rebellious forces such as Liu Bei and Han Yi to defeat and drive away the Qiang people, and then taking advantage of the contradiction between Liu Bei and Han Yi to provoke the two tigers to fight, and then send troops to pacify the Western Xinjiang at the lowest cost.

In order to realize this policy, Li Yi suggested that the imperial court issue an edict to the Pingxi general Hou Junji, asking him to command the cavalry army to recover Hexi, and to supervise all border counties and desert Hu tribes to provide favorable support to the Hexi expeditionary force.

At the same time, Li Yi ordered the troops stationed in Shangtai to be withdrawn to Chencang, and stationed heavy troops on the front line of Chencang and Dasanguan to ensure the safety of Guanzhong.

………………

In October of the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (200 AD), the battle situation in various battlefields stabilized.

Since then, the chassis controlled by the Northern Xinjiang Army has been extended to Youzhou, Bingzhou, Beiting Prefecture, Liaodong Prefecture, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sili and other six prefectures and two prefectures, as well as Yingchuan, Chen Guoliang in Yuzhou, Beidi County, Anding County, Hanyang County and Wuwei County in Liangzhou, and two-thirds of the land of the Han Dynasty are under the control of the Northern Frontier Army.

The Northern Xinjiang Army recovered Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, Li Yi's contribution was too great, and the opposition forces in the court could no longer stop the call to enter Li Yi, and Li Yi's title as duke had become an unstoppable trend.

However, because Yuyang County, where Quanzhou was located, was too close to Jicheng, the capital of the current Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, the opposition considered it unsuitable as a fief and changed Li Yi's fief to Taiyuan County in Bingzhou.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict in early October, and Jin named Li Yi, the great Sima, the general, and the Marquis of Quanzhou, as the Duke of Jin. And because Taiyuan County is the location of the ancient Tang Dynasty, it is also called Tang Gong.

With the arrival of the holy decree in Luoyang, the news of Li Yijin's title of duke spread among the Northern Xinjiang Army.

At the same time as the arrival of the holy decree, Li Yi also got a hint from the summoning system, he has completely occupied eight state-level administrative regions, and has the title of duke, and has met the conditions for system upgrades, so the summoning system has been upgraded to level six.

"The powers enjoyed by the sixth-level summoning system: first, the number of generals summoned by the lord has been increased from thirty-two to sixty-four; Second, the level of the lord summoning generals has been completely abolished, and the lord can summon all generals in any system; Third, the technology system opens up the super technology exchange power, and the master can use merit points to exchange the specified super technology to the system; Fourth, open the system general library, and the lord can view the list of all generals available for summoning in the system and their abilities; Fifth, open the god-level military general training mode ......"

Listening to the statement of the summoning system, Li Yi's mood was very excited.

This system upgrade has given him a lot of permissions.

First of all, after this upgrade, the number of summons has also increased from the previous thirty-two to the current sixty-four. If you add in the extra bonus summons you got when you conquered the prairies, the summons have actually risen to sixty-five.

Secondly, the level limit for summoning generals has been completely removed. Although when the system is promoted to level five, he can actually summon all the generals in the system, after all, it is almost impossible to have 5S-level generals in the system, but with the permission given by the system, he can only summon Class A 4S-level generals.

Again, the system has opened the authority to exchange super technology, that is to say, now Li Yi can completely open black technology. Although in the past, Li Yi made black gun* through his own efforts, but it was his own memory, and the gunpowder he made was very limited. But now it's different, as long as Li Yi is responsible, he can even exchange all the information of hot weapons, so that this era can enter the era of hot weapons in advance.

In addition, now that the system has opened the arsenal to him, he can browse all the list of generals that can be summoned in the system, which makes him have a wider range of choices when summoning generals.

In the end, the system has opened the god-level military general training mode, which means that the training of the system's military generals can break through the previous 95 limits. In the past, he wanted to train a general, and at most he could only increase his ability to 95. If you want to go further, you can only let the generals lead the troops to fight or engage in construction, and slowly accumulate experience, in order to break through the limit of 95. But now he can directly use merit points to increase the general's ability to more than 95, or even the full value of 100.
