Xu Du.

This city was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, and although the current Qin, Liang, and Wei were all founded, they all claimed to be ministers of the Han family, and from this political standpoint, they formed the Northern Alliance.

to resist the state of Chu.

But this city did not become important because of this, but became more and more inconspicuous among the cities and forces in the world. It is also because of the establishment of the Qin State, the Liang State, and the Wei State successively.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was the Jin Kingdom, which was the overlord of the Central Plains. In the Warring States, the Zhao, Han, and Wei families rose up and carved up the Jin Kingdom. It became the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han.

At that time, people called it Sanjin.

The situation of the Han Dynasty today is strikingly similar to that of the Jin State during the Warring States Period. It's just a matter of nominal existence. It has basically been contended by the Qin State, the Liang State, and the Wei State.

In addition to listening to this, there is also the rise of the Chu State.

If you talk about the Qin State and the Liang State, the Wei prisoners can still be regarded as wearing a little bit of the coat of Han courtiers, and maintain a certain amount of brilliance. Chu State is a naked careerist.

He proclaimed himself king and sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven.

The four kingdoms competed for supremacy, similar to the situation of the Warring States period. The Han Dynasty, of course, is inconspicuous.

The situation in the world also made Xu Ducheng clothed in a heavy twilight, like a dying old man:

In the city, Shang Shuling Mansion, study.

Gou Or sat on the bed and read the official document, but his mind did not focus on the official document, but drifted to the northwest. The situation of erosion in the northwest really made the whole Wei country feel very troubled.

"Alas, the state of Chu is not a minister."

Gou Or sighed, put down the official document, and stood up.

Just as he was sighing, a small official walked in from outside.

"My lord, the official letter of Duke Wei."

The little official handed over the bamboo slips to Gou or Dao.

"Hmm." After Gou or the idea car first sniffed, An Xin's spirit was lifted.

The 50,000 tigers and leopards rode westward, intending to make a desperate bet and send troops to defeat the remnants of Chu and the Qin and Liang countries at the cost of the war spreading to the Central Plains.

In the current situation, it has to be said that it is a good decision.

"Come, with the official document of the Duke of Wei, gather 50,000 tiger lords to ride westward, and return to the commander of Cao Hong, help Qin, and cool down" Gou or ordered.

"No," the official agreed, and immediately walked out with Cao Cao's official document.

"The great battle has begun," murmured as the officer left, standing up, facing south.

His opponent is Xu Shu.

……………………

In the north, tigers and leopards rode westward on a large scale and headed for Yongliang. That and the strong vibration, of course, could not hide from the ears and eyes of the Chu State.

Chu State, Wancheng, the mansion of Xu Shu, the general of the Right Army Division, in the hall.

The general Xu Shu sat in the first place, followed by Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Shamoke and other generals, a total of more than ten people, everyone was gearing up and looking excited.

"General, since it has been confirmed that the 50,000 tiger concubines guarding Xudu have gone west, we should immediately send troops to attack Xudu to cut off the connection between Wei and Yongzhou and Liangzhou."

Wei Yan said.

"Yes, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again: this is an excellent opportunity created by His Majesty, if you want to defeat the Wei State, it depends on this time." Li Yan also agreed.

The rest of the generals also spoke one after another, asking for troops to be sent to Xu Du to make meritorious contributions.

Although the Han Dynasty is basically finished, after all, it still occupies the status of the capital of the Han Dynasty, and if it is captured, it will be a great achievement. For the generals, they are all ready to move.

The generals are coaxing, but Xu Shu, as the coach, is quite calm.

He was considering the current situation, and the 50,000 tigers and leopards riding westward expedition was to remove the biggest obstacle that stood in their way: although it was gratifying, the 50,000 tigers riding westward expedition would bring great trouble to Kou Feng's Northern Expedition, and even the defeat in this battle might not be assured.

After all, although the state of Chu occupied Liangzhou, Liangzhou was empty and a place for cavalry. If the cavalry is traversed, the grain and grass cannot be supplied.

It is not impossible to abandon in the end. Therefore, what Xu Shu has to do is not only to attack Xudu, but also to put on a position and swallow the Central Plains. Moreover, he wrote to Huang Zhong and Lu Xun to ask for cooperation.

The full-scale offensive forced Cao Cao to devote more forces to defense, and even forced the Tiger Zhuo cavalry to return to help and defend.

Fighting is to fight, and how to fight has to be considered.

After muttering for a long time, Xu Shu glanced at the generals. Seeing this, the generals stopped their mouths one after another, showed a serious demeanor, and sat down.

Xu Shu smiled with satisfaction and said, "I want to fight, but it's after January." ”

"After a month? This fighter plane is fleeting, how can it be after a month. Shamoko cried out:

The generals also showed doubts, and Xu Shu's decision-making seemed to be suspected of delaying the fighter.

"There are two points." Facing the puzzled gazes of the generals, Xu Shu stretched out his hand and showed two fingers, and said, "First, the tiger and leopard rode westward. It's a spies' reward, and there's no going wrong with that. But we can't be unguarded, this is Cao Cao's means to induce us to send troops, the western expedition is fake, wait for us to send troops to the north. Sticker bar grip dedication. Then, the Tiger Cavalry returned with lightning speed and attacked us. At that time, we will be in the Central Plains, surrounded by cavalry, and we will not be able to advance or retreat, so we will basically have to explain to the Central Plains. Therefore, after waiting for a while, the news is confirmed that after the tiger and leopard ride in the northwest, we will send troops again, which can be considered safe. ”

"Two."

After saying the first point, Xu Shu quickly said the second reason. "The second is that even if we go out of the army, we can't march alone, after all, there are three armies that can be mobilized. General, General Huang Zhong, General Lu Xun.

Each led his troops to attack the Wei State, and the three-way army came out together. The purpose was not to attack Xudu, but to threaten the entire Central Plains. If the tiger and leopard ride back to help, we will take advantage of the situation to return. Create an opportunity for Your Majesty to nibble away at Yongliang. If the tiger and leopard can't come back to help, we will simply enter and occupy Wei and destroy it first. ”

Xu Shu said very boldly, and he had the bearing to destroy a country while talking and laughing.

That's right, with the power of the Chu State now, it has the ability to use troops on both sides. Although Cao Wei is strong, but the Qin State and the Liang State are weak, and Cao Wei wants to rescue, which is equivalent to weakening himself.

Under the offensive of both sides, the three northern countries will be exhausted.

Anyway, this time the Chu State went north on a large scale, and it couldn't be without military exploits. Or destroy Qin, Liang, or Wei.

Xu Shu's temperament of destroying a country while talking and laughing made the generals' blood boil.

"Please also ask the general to be naughty in the middle, so that we can make contributions on the battlefield." All the generals bowed to Xu Shu and said.

"Send someone to Yangzhou first, ask Yangzhou to assassinate Shi Yi in the middle of the dispatch, and invite Huang Zhong of Yangzhou and Lu Xun of Yanzhou to march into Wei together in a month."

Xu Shu said.

"No." There is a long history who promised, and Lijiao went down to draft official documents.

After Changshi left, Xu Shu took a deep breath, looked around at the generals, and said, "What you have to do is to recharge your energy and wait for the frequency of the army." ”

The "county" is located in the west of Xudu, and occupying Gu is to cut off the connection between Xudu and Yongzhou and Liangzhou. If it can be occupied for a long time and hoard grain on a large scale, it can cut off the supply line of grain from Wei to Qin and Liang.

Occupying Yingchuan is a preparation for a long-term war.

"No." The generals were in high spirits and promised to say.

Soon, the generals were ordered to leave, and all the training during this time should be stopped, and the main thing is to recuperate.

With the departure of the generals, the hall became empty, and Xu Shu slowly stood up, and then turned to the north, his eyes were very sharp.

"It's been chaotic enough for a long time, it's time to return to one."

At this time, Xu Qi's gaze was very sharp.

……………………

Qiangzhong, located in the southwest of Weiwu.

The so-called Qiang is the gathering place of the Qiang people. The Qiang people do not have a country, they are nomadic people, nomadic in a large area, and even in the Xiliang area, there are also Qiang people who are nomadic.

and intermingled with the Han Chinese.

The Qiang tribe is also the same as the Xiongnu, divided into countless tribes, the largest of which has five branches, called the Qiang Five Tribes, with a population of one million and 200,000 knights.

The five clans in Qiangzhong also have a good relationship with Han Sui, which can be traced back to the time when Han Sui Zhouzhou raised troops, a long time ago.

After Han Sui led the remaining hundreds of people into Qiangzhong, these five ethnic groups actually held a meeting.

At this moment, on the grassland in Qiangzhong, there is a very large tent.

There were six people seated, one of them was a tall man sitting on the top seat, Han Sui was sitting on the side, and the other four were sitting on the bottom.

The five tribes in the Qiang are strong and are the crown of the Qiang people, and among the five tribes, there are the most powerful. Even if it is the Tianxue Clan, the tall man sitting on the main seat is the patriarch of the Tianxue Clan, Tuxiong. He is young and ambitious.

Han Sui's gaze also swept towards Tu Xiong from time to time, with a sense of temptation. The patriarchs of the second seat are all relatively old, basically from the same period as Han Sui, and one of them is Han Sui's predecessor.

The friendship with Han Sui is very deep, only this Tuxiong is a young man. His father also had a relationship with Han Sui, and Zhou Zhou died half a month ago.

Han Sui did not get any news because he was in Xianyang.

At this moment, it is also quite bottomless. He can't see through this young man.

"The state of Chu is strong, and there is a great desire to annex the world and destroy all the tribes around it, among which the mountain, Nanban, Wuxi Manchu and other tribes have been wiped out one after another. If the Chu State is allowed to occupy Yongzhou and Liangzhou, our Qiang people will have a catastrophe. Therefore, resisting the state of Chu is beneficial to the Qiang people. Tuxiong glanced at the people in the tent and said.

Han Sui's heart was overjoyed, the ride was bottomless, and he suddenly became bottomed. If the Qiang tribe sends troops, the number of troops must be 200,000, and all of them are cavalry, and this time the Chu State will not be disabled?

"However, we can't do any good if we send troops to help you. We want the whole Xiliang. Tuxiong then continued.

Sharp-eyed and ambitious.

Han Sui was taken aback, the so-called Xiliang is not Liangzhou, but refers to the western part of Liangzhou, Wuwei, Xicheng and other areas, although the border, but also the land of the three counties.

This guy actually wants to cut off Xiliang
