"Twenty thousand, ten thousand gone, ten thousand left, damn it." Liu Zhang slammed the table hard.

Fa Zheng was puzzled, he left 10,000 people behind Lingqiang, what was Liu Zhang's anger? Just as he was about to ask, a female voice outside sounded: "Let me in, I want to see my lord." ”

Liu Zhang looked over, it was the girl from the Western Regions, and motioned to the soldiers to let her in, and as soon as the girl came in, she said angrily: "My lord, do you want to be treacherous?" You promised me that when the war is over, you will send me to entanglement and let me go, it has been over for more than ten days, why don't you let me go? ”

Liu Zhang asked Fa Zhengdao in a low voice: "Have you found out the details of this girl?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head: "The convoy of the princess of Shache Kingdom passed through Chang'an, and it was scattered by the chaotic army, no one knows what the princess looks like, and where to start, but according to people in Chang'an, there were indeed people chasing the princess at that time and cutting the princess. ”

"Then eight or nine will not be far from ten." Liu Zhang's heart was settled, and he said to the girl from the Western Regions: "That's the case, girl, you are the daughter of Hu Shang, and Ben Hou is about to start a business, so I will take you back to Chengdu to play for a few days, not only to see my Shuzhong customs, but also to wait for your father to arrive and discuss cooperation."

You don't know, we have a lot of good places in Xichuan, there are Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Taipeng Mountain, Jiuzhaigou ......"

"I don't want to see any scenery." The girl shouted, and then became discouraged: "Okay, I have already heard from the female general surnamed Guan, you are a dime a dime, I don't want to entangle, I'll go by myself." ”

The girl turned around as she spoke, Liu Zhang gestured, and the two guards immediately set up their spears.

The girl turned her head angrily: "You...... You're going to hold me hostage? What kind of cooperation are you talking about? I will tell my father and let him tell all the merchants of the Western Regions, my lord, you have no righteousness, see who still buys and sells your goods in Shuzhong. ”

"No, how can I hold the girl hostage, I'm ......"

At this time. A soldier rushed in and said loudly: "Xiliang urgently, Xiliang Han Sui led the eight cavalry of Qiben, gathered the warlords of Yongliang Forty-seven Road, Liu Bei, and Xiahou Yuan as aid, a total of 200,000 people swore in Tianshui to attack Sichuan. In the near future, he will come to Hanzhong. ”

"What?" Fa Zheng was taken aback.

Liu Zhang smiled at the girl and said, "Look, the war is not over yet, you have to keep it." ”

"I ......" the girl was speechless.

"Okay, Ben Hou still has military affairs to be busy, come here, take the girl down to rest."

A soldier came in: "Girl, please." ”

The girl shook her hand fiercely, only thinking that she was a person who could rely on it, and there was someone in this world who could rely on it better than herself, so she strode away angrily.

"My lord. Han Sui's army of 200,000 is not idle. Fa Zheng looked at Liu Zhang, who was full of smiles, and said solemnly.

Liu Zhang thought for a moment and asked the soldier, "Did Lingqiang send troops first?" ”

"Out, the thirteen departments of Xiqiang have all sent troops except for Tsing Yi Qiang and Baima Qiang."

"How many are out?"

"About ten thousand."

Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Pour out of the nest." Isn't that the old camp not guaranteed? What should I do if Tsing Yi Qiang Xifengchi leads the army to attack? ”

The soldier said: "Now the combined forces of Tsing Yi Qiang Xifengchi and Baima Qiang are confronting Xian Lingqiang in the grassland, and Xian Lingqiang is also dividing troops to control the old camp of Tsing Yi Qiang, and now Xiliang is unprecedentedly united. Except for Tsing Yi Qiang and Baima Qiang, Xian Lingqiang has no foreign enemies. ”

"Okay, God help me." Liu Zhang was overjoyed.

Fa Zheng frowned slightly. Waving his hand to let the soldiers go down, he said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, in fact, I have already seen that the lord has been waiting for Han Sui Ma Teng to go south, or hopes that Han Sui Ma Teng will go south, why?" This time, Han Sui and Ma Teng gathered 200,000 troops, and we were hard to consume them, which was not conducive to our recuperation, and the Xiliang army would also be weakened, and it was Cao Cao who was cheaper. ”

Liu Zhang said softly: "Han Sui is menacing, but the threat is not big.

This 200,000 army is not the same as Ma Chao's 80,000 army before, although Ma Chao's 80,000 army is patchwork, but because of Ma Chao's might, unite as one, and prohibit it, Ma Chao's order, no one dares to disobey, it is like a command, like a complete army.

And now the 200,000 army, half of Han Sui, one-third of Ma Teng, one-third of the other warlords, each with a ghost, I am afraid that only Han Sui and Cao Jun want to fight, the former wants to fight to establish power, the latter wants to weaken us, even Ma Teng will not be willing to fight.

Ma Teng only has so many troops left, I don't believe that he is so self-sacrificing, weakening himself, and letting Han Sui have Xiliang alone, Ma Teng is like this, not to mention other warlords, and Xiqiang, in the previous battle, Xiqiang suffered heavy losses, and without Ma Chao's deterrence, what benefits can they get?

Xian Lingqiang now just wants to pacify Tsing Yi Qiang in one fell swoop and establish the position of the overlord of Xiqiang, and the Qiang people who are with Xian Lingqiang will not be enthusiastic about this war.

Xiaozhi remembers the original Tiger Prison Pass Eighteen Road princes begging for Dong? The princes' army of 500,000 people, but they fell short, if Cao Cao led 200,000 troops alone, or even less, I believe that the battle of Tiger Pass would not be so unbearable, Dong Zhuoxiu wanted to return to Chang'an.

Today's Xiliang 200,000 troops have their own ghosts, which seems to be a lot, but in fact they are scattered, although Han Sui is the leader of the alliance, he can't command many troops, and he is even more worried that his foundation will be defeated, and the threat is not as powerful as Ma Chao's 80,000 army at the beginning. ”

Fa Zheng frowned and thought for a long time, and nodded: "The lord is right, the Xiliang army cannot be united, as long as we act cautiously and divide and disintegrate, there is nothing to worry about, but the subordinates still don't understand, why is the lord looking forward to the Xiliang army going south?" Even if you want to remove the threat of Xiliang, you can't wipe out these 200,000 people. ”

"Huh." Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Kill a thousand enemies, lose 800 yourself, how many Sichuan soldiers did we sacrifice in order to defeat Ma Chao's 80,000 people?" Of these 200,000 people, I, Liu Zhang, don't have that much appetite. ”

"What does the lord mean?"

"I told you, sneak attack Tianshui." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice.

Fa Zheng frowned, then stretched out, and said weakly: "Lord, it's all this time, you can tell the truth to your subordinates, otherwise I don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and nodded: "Okay, anyway, you have a heavy task this time." ”

Liu Zhang took out a large piece of white paper from behind the case, which was full of painted mountains and rivers, and important strongholds.

Liu Zhang spread out the white paper on the desk and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, do you see it?" This is the thirteen maps of Xiqiang, and in the past few days, I have called hundreds of people from various tribes in Xiqiang to inquire about the geography of the Qiang land, which is to draw a topographic map. ”

Fa Zheng looked at the complicated geography of mountains and rivers, was taken aback, picked it up and looked at it, frowned and said: "No wonder the lord has been asking the Qiang soldiers for a few days, it turns out that he has already made a plan, but even if it is an inquiry, how can he draw it in such detail, his subordinates can't worry about the lord and the minister." ”

Fa Zheng bowed to Liu Zhang, and at this time, Fa Zheng felt extremely ashamed in his heart, as a military advisor, he even had to draw a map.

Now the Sichuan army is up and down, whether it is Jingzhou Fan Lixiang, Li Yan, Jiang Wanweiwen, or Yizhou Huangquan, Wang Fu, Dong He, they are all exhausted, it can be said that these people are busier than the officials of other states and counties in the world, and they are embarrassed to meet people if they don't lose seven or eight pounds every month.

Of course, it also includes the main father-in-law Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang didn't listen to the doctor's dissuasion, got up early and rested late to be busy with government affairs, and sometimes Fa Zheng read it, and he felt worried, but then again, such a detailed map, even if he found a Qiang person to interrogate, he couldn't draw it.

Fa Zheng thought in his heart that he couldn't be so lazy in the future, otherwise, he would be really incompetent as a military advisor, at least incompetent in the Sichuan army.

"Xiaozhi doesn't have to mind, if it weren't for the military affairs handed over to you, would I have time to draw a map?"

Liu Zhang smiled, in fact, Liu Zhang is not stupid, he has to draw a map alone, which is a very tiring job.

After Liu Zhang asked the Qiang soldiers, he knew the main mountains, rivers, camps, Qiang villages, horse farms, pastures, and plank roads in Xiqiang.

But it is not enough to have an outline, you must also have an overall grasp, just like you know a certain vegetable market, there are carrots, cabbage, and you also know the approximate location, but the overall distribution can not be grasped, you are still at a loss when you walk into the vegetable market.

Each Qiang soldier is just familiar with his own tribe, and who knows the overall trend of the patchwork map? The direction of the river, the specific location of the mountains, these need to be supplemented.

In his previous life, Liu Zhang only went to Gansu twice, an internship, and a tour, and he was also blind, but the geographical knowledge of later generations and the pictures taken by satellites are much simpler and clearer than in ancient times.

Liu Zhang is not a geographical fanatic, but he also knows that Gansu is now Liangzhou Qiang, which is located in the northeast section of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the mountains are undulating, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the Qiang village is built by the mountains, the grassland, and the horse farm are divided by the mountains, that is, the ecology of the mountains and the grasslands, and from north to south, there are more and more mountains.

With this general understanding, the points, mountains, rivers, camps, Qiang villages, horse farms, pastures, and plank roads told by the Qiang people are gathered together to become a relatively complete map.

However, Liu Zhang can't be sure how far it is from the truth, and Liu Zhang feels that his strategy does not need a detailed map, he only needs to use everything possible to determine a location, and it will be done, that is, the first Lingqiang old camp.

Liu Zhang pointed to the map and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, I am waiting for Han Sui to go south, not to fight with the Xiliang army, but to wait for the old camp of Xian Lingqiang to be empty, take the opportunity to seize it, and destroy all the cattle and sheep and people of Xian Lingqiang, what do you think will happen next?" ”

Fa Zheng was taken aback and replied: "Now there are many Xiangchuan tribes in Xiqiang, but our cavalry strength is not thick, so we choose to rely on the powerful Han Sui, if we can take the first Lingqiang, Qingyi Qiang must be completely attached, and other swinging tribes will also be attached...... Wrong. ”

Fa Zheng's brows suddenly sank. (To be continued.) )
