After the soldier retreated, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and ordered a soldier to let Xun You, the secretary of the military department, come to meet him, and after a while, Xun You came to Cao Cao's face, and after the salute was completed, Cao Cao asked: "Do you know, Zilong's news?" ”

After thinking about the letter sent by Zhao Yun, Xun You arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Zhao sent a letter three days ago, and the letter said that at this time, the stability has been broken, and the army will be able to attack the old nest of Ma Teng and others under Wuwei City in a few days!" ”

"Okay, I have something to tell you, you come with your ears."

After Cao Cao said a few words in Xun You's ear, a very complicated expression rose on Xun You's face, and he said: "Your Majesty, is this really possible, according to Wei Chen, it is better than "

"Needless to say, it's okay, I'll know when the time comes, even if it doesn't work, for my Dawei, it won't be a lot of losses?"

"This, since this is so a small minister!" Xun You thought about it and reluctantly agreed, but Xun You was really not optimistic about Cao Cao's method just now.

Looking at Xun You, who looked helpless, Cao Cao smiled, and thought proudly in his heart: "When you succeed, there will be times when you open your mouth wide in surprise." ”

The matter of the Wei-Han peace talks, because both sides did not make a big splash, except for some upper-class people, most of the people did not disappear, and the shocking news of the Wei army's 300,000 attack on Xiliang was enough to attract the energy and attention of most people.

Xiliang or Liangzhou, although this place is close to Saiwai, resulting in inconvenient transportation. The people are bitterly cold, and it can be described as a bitter cold place. However, it is precisely because of the close proximity to the outside of the Saiwai that there are many war horses in Xiliang. Once dominated the world, whether it was the Xiliang Army led by Dong Zhuo or the Xiliang Army led by Ma Teng, the power of its iron cavalry was enough to make most of the Central Plains princes frightened.

Moreover, if you want to study Chinese culture, it is even more impossible to bypass Xiliang, for example, when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains. Xiliang is the most critical stop.

Buddha light to the west, since then spread, only to have a later pattern, China's four major Buddhist scripture translator Kumarosh lived in Xiliang for more than 10 years, his understanding of Han culture, is completed in Xiliang, so far, his famous incorruptible tongue is still buried in Liangzhou, accept the worship of the past generations of visitors.

And one more point. That is, if you want to study some famous buildings in China, you can't avoid the model of Xiliang, Beijing in later generations, Chang'an and other capitals in the past. The original source is in Xiliang.

At the same time, although the west is cool and bitterly cold. However, its geographical location is very important, it is bordered by Guanzhong in the east. The west leads to the Western Regions, separated by the mountains. The desert is around the back, which can be said to be a line through the vast desert and the throat of the five counties.

Among them, it is located at the east end of the Hexi Corridor, which is the key point of the Silk Road, located at the northern foot of Wusheling and Maomao Mountain, leans on Jingtai in the east, Tianzhu in the south, and borders on the Gulang Gorge in the northwest with Xiliang is called the "Jinguan Silver Lock" in the western part of China, and the narrowest place is only a few meters wide.

It is precisely because of this that there are many stories left here, such as the female general of the Yang Sect in the Song Dynasty, when she conquered the Western Xia, she went to Gulang Gorge, was desperate, jumped off the cliff and committed suicide, leaving the legend of "Twelve Widows Drop Tears Cliff".

The earliest origin of Liangzhou was in the second year of Yuanjia in the Western Han Dynasty (121 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the hussar general Huo Qubing to expedition to Hexi, defeated the Xiongnu, and opened up four counties in Hexi (namely Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang).

In the fifth year of Yuan Feng (106 years ago), the world was divided into thirteen states, each of which placed a thorn history, which was called "thirteen thorn histories". In present-day Gansu Province, the name of Liangzhou has been since then, which means "located in the west, often cold and cold".

It has jurisdiction over 10 counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Jincheng and Xihai, and governs in Longxian (now Longxian County, Shaanxi Province), and its jurisdiction is about the Huangshui Basin of Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai provinces in later generations, Dingbian, Wuqi, Fengxian, Luoyang and other counties in Shaanxi Province and Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudu, Yongyang, Nan'an, Anding vassal state, Zhangye vassal state (the above 3 counties were abolished), and Zhangye Juyan vassal state (that is, Xihai County) were added.

This time, the 300,000 Wei army went out, and Zhao Yun personally led the 150,000 army that accounted for the majority to attack Ma Teng, and the remaining 130,000 were led by Xu Huang and Le Jin to attack Guo Yan.

Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry once shocked the world and ran rampant for most of the world, at this time, after experiencing several times of great vitality injury, in the face of the Wei army's attack like Mount Tai's overpower, he did not dare to be Ma Teng or Guo Yan were defeated again and again, losing troops and losing the city.

Strength and wisdom, if the gap between the two sides is not too big, can still turn things around, but when the gap between the two sides is too big, it is useless, just when Xu Huang and Le Jin led the troops to attack Guo Yan's last nest Tianshui, Zhao Yun is and led the army, the soldiers came to Ma Teng's lair, and Wuwei City was down.

At this time, in Wuwei City, the defenders of Liang only had more than 10,000 remnants left, and Ma Teng's old father-in-law, the leader of the Jiang people who had sent 20,000 Jiang cavalry into Xiliang, had already been under the three-plate axe of the Wei cavalry, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The leader of the Jiang people, who had suffered heavy losses, did not dare to vent his anger on the Wei army, but instead vented it on Ma Teng's Liang army, and the Jiang cavalry, who had plundered a handful of the Liang country's borders, ran away directly after leaving a letter to sever relations.

Jiang Ren's actions, although Ma Teng was angry, but at this time, he was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river himself, and the encirclement of 100,000 Wei troops outside the city made Ma Teng completely dispel the idea of going out of the city to fight.

"General, Wuwei is worthy of being the capital of Liang Kingdom, I really didn't expect that this dilapidated city in the past would become so tall today."

Zhang He looked at the Wuwei in front of him, the city wall is as high, the moat is bottomless, and the Wuwei on the city wall is full of arrow towers, and he sighed with a sigh on his face, which is like two cities like the Wuwei he said he had seen a few years ago.

"That's true, if we attack, the casualties of our sergeants will definitely not be small."

Zhao Yun frowned, looking at the Wuwei in front of him, after Ma Teng's continuous repairs over the years, although the Wuwei at this time, although it is not as good as Chang'an, Luoyang, Daliang and other big cities, but compared to Yecheng and Xiangyang, these cities may as well give more, attacking such a city, even if it is defeated, the 100,000 Wei army at this time, maybe there will only be 50,000 or 60,000 left in the end.
