Han Sui smiled bitterly: "If the Qiang people enter the Western Xinjiang today, who will help us?" Who will save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in western Xinjiang? Li Yi? Yuan Shao? In order to compete for the Central Plains and for the country, they have already thrown the western frontier out of the clouds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLi Yi is willing to give me money and food, why? Don't you want me to contain Yuan Shao and help him seize the Central Plains? Why did Yuan Shao give me money? Don't you want me to help him block the Qiang people to protect Guanzhong, join forces with him to defeat Li Yi, and help him seize the world? ”

"What is the West in their eyes? It's nothing, it's not as good as a bone in a dog's mouth. What am I? It's a crutch that can be used, use it when you want to use it, and throw it aside when you don't use it. They say that I, Han Sui, want to dominate the Western Frontier, which is really funny to think about. ”

"Western Xinjiang has gone through a hundred years of war, and it has been barren to the extreme, and whoever gets it is a huge burden. Li Yi, does he dare to ask for it? Yuan Shao, does he dare to ask for it? Do they dare to pull their army to the western frontier to fight the Qiang people? Now no matter whether Li Yi or Yuan Shao is not, whoever enters Western Xinjiang will be dragged down alive by Western Xinjiang and will be defeated by the other party in an instant. ”

"When I Han Sui was alive, they said that I dominated the Western Frontier and that I was in trouble, as if I Han Sui had done many evil things that people and gods were angry about. But if I hadn't blocked the Qiang people in the western frontier, how much strength would they have to establish hegemony? To fight each other for the usurpation of the society? ”

"When I, Han Sui, die, what do you think they will do? Do you think they will send a large army into the western Xinjiang to fight a bloody battle with the Qiang people? If they want, I can die now. ”

"The western Xinjiang is in chaos, and the Qiang people are leaking down, who can hold Guanzhong? Guanzhong can't hold it, whether it is Hedong or Luoyang, they are all under the attack of the Qiang people. At that time, they may be able to dominate in a corner of the land, but what about the big Han? Where's Dahan? ”

Han Sui's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was a little choked and said: "The Great Han has been defeated, our strength is weak, and we can't do anything, so we can only watch him die helplessly." But Xijiang is our mother, and when our mother is about to be ravaged by the enemy, we will fight for it even if we are crushed. Although no one can help Xijiang, and no one is willing to save my mother's life, we, the sons and daughters of Xijiang, are still there, and we are willing to use our blood and lives to protect our mother, to defend this land, and to defend this majestic Han territory. ”

"No one can take her from us, never."

In the evening, Han Sui convened a meeting with General Xiliang in the Xinfeng camp.

Han Sui gave a detailed account of the current situation in Western Xinjiang, the purpose of the Xiliang army to seize Guanzhong, and how Xiliang took advantage of the current situation in the world to maneuver between Hebei and Luoyang after Xiliang seized Guanzhong, so as to ensure that the army would stick to Guanzhong and stabilize Western Xinjiang.

"Before winter comes, stabilize the front line on the line of Gaoling and Xinfeng, and do not take Tongguan and Wuguan for the time being, there is only one purpose, that is, to retain strength and not let yourself become the common target of Hebei and Luoyang." Han Sui explained, "We can stop the attack now, not only can we pretend to show weakness and fear of the enemy to paralyze the opponent, but we can also make a posture of uniting Yang Feng to fight Yuan Tan, or uniting Yuan Tan to fight Yang Feng, so that Hebei and Luoyang cannot figure out our specific movements, and we cannot formulate corresponding countermeasures in order to adjust the deployment in time." ”

"Now there is still more than a month before the Yellow River freezes, at most two months, as long as the Yellow River freezes, Hebei has nothing to do with us." Han Sui pointed to Tongguan on the map, "After the threat of Hebei is lifted, we will immediately send troops to attack Yuan Tan, and strive to take Tongguan, so as to force Yuan Shao to quickly negotiate peace with us and form an alliance to fight against Hebei." ”

"I have already said just now that after the Central Plains War, Li Yi's next target is Luoyang. Judging from Hebei's current troop deployment, it must be from Guanzhong, Hanoi, Henan, and Yingchuan to besiege Luoyang. Therefore, the first place of attack of Hebei after the end of the Central Plains War was Guanzhong. ”

"Once Hebei takes Guanzhong, it can not only deter Luoyang, but also threaten Xiliang, Yizhou and Jingzhou, and the blow to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will also be fatal, so Hebei can lay the advantage of sweeping the world. In other words, if we don't give up Guanzhong, Hebei will fight Guanzhong no matter what. ”

"Our forces cannot fight Hebei. Since the Great War in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao's strength has been greatly damaged, and he cannot fight against Hebei alone. We need to keep Guanzhong, and Yuan Shao needs to keep Luoyang, so it is inevitable and necessary for us to join forces with Yuan Shao. After joining forces, we get the money and food we urgently need, and Yuan Shao can get our help and stick to Luoyang. ”

"We have a whole winter to stabilize Guanzhong and strengthen the city defenses. Coupled with Yuan Shao's financial and food support, coupled with the strategies of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others on the battlefield in the Central Plains, even if we can't defeat Hebei, we can keep Hebei out of Guanzhong. ”

"If Guanzhong can't be taken for a long time, Hebei will not be able to attack Luoyang. After the end of the Great War in the Central Plains, Hebei's army ran out of food and grass, and it was impossible to start a war on two battlefields at the same time. In this case, the only way for Hebei to negotiate peace with us is to change the siege of Luoyang on all sides to a siege on three sides, and instead concentrate on attacking Kyoto from the direction of Hanoi, Henan and Yingchuan. ”

"We don't know if Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others can block Li Yi's attack, but one thing is certain, once Luoyang is captured by Hebei, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, so we will attack Hedong at the right time, contain the Northern Xinjiang Army, and force Li Yi to withdraw his troops. In this way, a three-legged trend has been formed in the world, and our strategy of capturing Guanzhong and stabilizing Western Xinjiang has been successful. ”

"After the success of the three-legged momentum, we immediately moved the people of Xiliang to Guanzhong." Han Sui waved his hand vigorously and said loudly.

The generals were all stunned.

Han Sui ignored the performance of the generals and continued: "Once the three-legged momentum is formed, Li Yi and Yuan Shao will try every means to destroy the restraining relationship between the three parties, intending to break the balance and seize Guanzhong. At this time, we are very dangerous, because we have a heavy burden of Xiliang, and the most important point of this burden is the embarrassment of money and food. As long as Li Yi or Yuan Shao cut off our money and food relief, our survival will become quite difficult. ”

"The only way to solve the embarrassment of money and food is to move the people of Xiliang to Guanzhong. At its peak, the population of Guanzhong exceeded one million, but in the last ten years of wars and disasters, the population of Guanzhong has almost been exhausted. After Yuan Shao occupied Guanzhong, he moved back from Yuzhou and Jingzhou, but there were only a few tens of thousands of people. After more than ten years of stability, the population of Xiliang has increased, about 500,000 people, mainly concentrated in Hanyang County and Wudu County, which are close to Guanzhong. Since these two counties are relatively close to Guanzhong, it is easy to relocate, and there are few people in Guanzhong, we can completely solve the food and financial problems within a year or two. After most of the population of Xiliang moved out, some of them were herdsmen, and we could move them to Hanyang and Wudu counties to allow them to engage in agriculture as much as possible and alleviate poverty. ”

"Uncle wants to give up Xiliang?" Ma Chao asked in surprise.

"No, we will never give up on Xiliang. Once Xiliang is occupied by the Qiang people, Guanzhong will immediately become a battlefield, and our years of hard work will be in vain. Han Sui shook his hand resolutely.

"After the population of Xiliang moved out, Xiliang became a wilderness, and the battlefield could extend from the border to the hinterland of Xiliang. When the Qiang people came in, we withdrew. The Qiang people could not capture anything and could not gain a foothold for long, and when they retreated, we would catch up and fight. ”

"Because the front is long enough, we can use all kinds of terrain to attack until we knock them out of the side. With the continuous supply of food in Guanzhong and the vast battlefield in Xiliang, we can drive the Qiang people out of the four counties of Hexi, and we can even completely solve the disaster of the Qiang people, and we are more likely to build the capital of the Western Regions again and revitalize the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty. ”

The generals of Xiliang suddenly realized, their expressions were excited, their blood was boiling, and the big tent suddenly burst into joy.

………………

After appeasing the generals, Han Sui had just returned to his big tent, and the scouts came to report, and Yue Fei, the general of Northern Xinjiang, sent a letter to Han Sui.

Han Sui opened it and saw that it was written: "General Han suddenly sent troops to Guanzhong, and the timing was very good. Today, Yuan Tan led the army in Zheng County and Huayin, blocking your way, and Fei is ready to send troops to help, so I will inform you in a letter. ”

Yue Fei's letter was just a few words, and there was a fierce murderous aura in his words.

Han Sui held the letter and did not speak for a long time. Yang Fu and Han Yi sat opposite him and looked at him nervously.

Under the faint candlelight, the white hair on Han Sui's sideburns was particularly dazzling, the wrinkles on his forehead were deep and long, and the many silver strands mixed between his hair and beard made him look very old.

Yang Fu sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "The lord is old, really old." The lord works like this, and his health is getting worse, and I don't know how many years he can support it. If he falls, what will Xiliang do? Can Ma Chao really replace the first lord? ”

"Yishan, go and call Meng Qi." Han Sui's voice woke up Yang Fu in deep thought. He bowed slightly and walked out of the tent.

"Father, Hebei has just finished the Central Plains War, Yue Fei is not capable of sending troops, he is threatening us in disguise, asking my father to give an explanation to the Guanzhong Army, that is, to give a promise to the Jicheng court." Han Yi said softly, "I don't think there's any need to ignore him, we just need to stick to the front line of Gaoling and Xinfeng." ”

Han Sui smiled and said to his son, "You are wrong, Yue Fei is indeed going to send troops." ”

Han Yi asked suspiciously, "Isn't he afraid that we will join forces with Yuan Shao?" ”

Han Sui said: "We and Yuan Shao have not joined forces yet. ”

Han Yi said nonchalantly: "There is no cavalry, and he will be sent to death when he comes." ”

Han Sui asked, "Do you know where Zhang Liao's cavalry is now?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and did not speak. (To be continued.) )
