Chapter 26 Li Temouguo
There are Qiang people everywhere in Yinping City.
There seemed to be cries one after another in the city.
The prefect of Yinping insisted on guarding Yinping City, causing Li Te to lose many good men. Therefore, Li Te did not treat Yinping as gently as he treated other cities.
Although he did not massacre the city, he still allowed his men to plunder the city.
Whichever family has a girl with a better color will naturally suffer disaster.
Whichever family has a lot of food and money will naturally be attacked.
This is where these cries come from.
Speaking of which, Yinping County and Wudu County already belong to Yongzhou.
It no longer belongs to Yizhou.
Just because there were few sergeants in the county and there was no barrier to block it, Zhao Yan's troops pressed on the border. The two counties of Yinping and Wudu naturally became Zhao Yan's land.
As for Liangzhou, which originally occupied Hanzhong, Zitong, Bajun, Guanghan, Fuling, and Badong, they also changed their banners due to the arrival of Zhao Yan's troops.
Even Luo Shang, the governor of Liangzhou, had to flee to Shangyong City to rest temporarily.
At this time, the county's disadvantage of having few soldiers was revealed.
Zhao Ren had been planning for a long time. He had tens of thousands of strong soldiers in the army. To deal with the Liangzhou soldiers who had less than 10,000 county soldiers in total and who were neglected in training, it was naturally a one-sided massacre.
What's more, Zhao Yan did not attack directly, but pretended to take advantage of the passage and directly unloaded most of Liangzhou.
Later, Luo Shang, the governor of Liangzhou, came to his senses and had no choice but to flee Shangyong County.
However, although people were driven out and Hanzhong was in a prominent position, Luo Shang was not discouraged, but was in high spirits.
He served as the governor of Liangzhou for several years. If nothing else, his governance was pretty good, and he still had a good reputation among the people of Liangzhou.
Moreover, he still had backup forces in Liangzhou that day, although Liangzhou was occupied by Zhao Yan.
But Zhao Yan did not have enough men to defend Liangzhou. If he counterattacked, he would definitely succeed.
Moreover, Luo Shang also knew Zhao Yan's character well.
Zhao Yan is not a man of great talent and strategy. All he wants is to make a living.
And how can such a person who is not a talented person achieve great things?
In addition, Zhao Yan is not only not a talented and strategic person, but also a bit cruel.
This gave Luo Shang more confidence.
That's why he went to the emperor a few days ago, and then the appointment came down.
Sima Yu granted him the title of General of Pingxi, concurrently serving as the captain of the Yizhou Protector, the governor of Yizhou, Wang Dun, the governor of Yamen, Yixin, the captain of Shangyong, Xu Jian, the prefect of Shu County, and Xin Ran, the prefect of Guanghan, led more than 7,000 people to recapture Liang.
State, attack Shu.
Seven thousand people are certainly not many, but they are all elite.
During this period, he was also able to recruit many good people in Liangzhou. After two trips, tens of thousands of people were definitely not bad.
And this is enough to rival Zhao Yan.
What's more, the King of Hejian also sent troops to help.
In Shangyong City, Luo Shang's face was red.
He looked around at the people in the field and said: "Tomorrow we will conquer Liangzhou, and in five days we can march into Shu and offer the head of Zhao Yan. You can also take credit for this, be promoted to a noble rank, and be granted the title of wife and son."
"
"The governor must be too relaxed. Hanzhong is not easy to conquer."
At this time, Wang Dun, who was silent on the side, came out to speak.
Dealing with Zhao Yan, just like dealing with Qi Wannian before, was all for nothing. Wang Dun didn't get it last time because of the constraints of the kings.
Now that there are no kings in Luoyang, he naturally takes over this kind of job.
Of course, on the one hand, the emperor did not want to go to war.
If the emperor wants to start a big war, I'm afraid he will have to launch another southern expedition.
This is naturally due to Luo Shang's contribution.
Luo Shang, the governor of Liangzhou, said in his memorial that Liangzhou can be easily obtained and Yizhou can be easily defeated.
Although Wang Dun was the son of an aristocratic family, he was very careful about his life and very smart.
He came here this time to gain credit. It would be a bit funny if he handed over his life here.
And it seems that this kind of thing is not difficult to happen now.
If this Luo Shang is not reliable, his life may really be decided.
Therefore, he had to give Luo Shang a warning beforehand.
"Don't worry, sir. Don't talk about Hanzhong. Liangzhou can be conquered in a day or two."
If you really brag and don't draft a draft, your bragging will be blown to the sky.
Wang Dun snorted coldly and asked: "Does the governor know that Zhao Yu has 20,000 troops stationed in Liangzhou, but we only have 7,000 troops in our hands? In my opinion, we have to go to the King of Hejian to ask him
Let's borrow 10,000 people first. The natural dangers in Hanzhong cannot be easily overcome."
Hanzhong Basin is a land of plenty. Hanzhong spans two major river systems, the Han River and the Jialing River. At this time, water and land transportation is better than land transportation. Because Hanzhong's water transportation is good, it can connect Bashu and Jingchu, and even reach the coastal areas of the East China Sea. At the same time, Hanzhong is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the north.
In Nanping Bashan, there are Baoxie, Chencang, Tangluo, Ziwu and other ancient roads between Qin and Ba, which can directly reach Longnan, Guanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places by land. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they are a must-have for military strategists.
land.
It is not an easy task to conquer Hanzhong.
"Your Majesty, please relax, I have a backup plan in Liangzhou."
As for what the back-up was, Luo Shang is not in a position to say now.
Seeing that Wang Dun still looked distrustful, Luo Shang could only say: "If you don't believe it, you can stay in Shangyong. When we take Hanzhong, you will follow us. What do you think?"
Aren't you afraid?
I'm afraid I'm just waiting there. How safe is this?
But while it’s safe, don’t think about military success.
This is the meaning of Luo Shang's words.
"In this case, I will go to Hanzhong."
Wang Dun spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, you are so brave."
Luo Shang stroked his beard, not sure whether he was praising Wang Dun or mocking Wang Dun, but it always made Wang Dun feel a little depressed.
Wang Dun comes from the Langya Wang family, and the Langya Wang family is now the family most trusted by His Majesty and the most powerful family. If Luo Shang wants to offend, it is impossible to offend him.
But you don't know how scared Luo Shang is.
He, Luo Shang, does not have a family background.
The reason why Wang Dun was able to blend in and get credit for nothing was mostly because Luo Shang became an official in his early years and was recommended by Wang Rong.
With this relationship, it is easy to explain why Wang Dun got involved.
But he must be afraid of a junior member of the Langya Wang family.
That's impossible.
Wang Dun scolded Luo Shang and said nothing.
At this time, Luo Shang began to discuss tomorrow's tactics.
Seven thousand people were divided into two teams by Luo Shang.
Five thousand of them, the home team, took the Yangpingguan Road and then went straight to the Jinniu Road.
The other two thousand people took a detour through Maming Pavilion Road and entered Hanzhong.
As for other things to pay attention to, Luo Shang finally said it carefully at this time.
Wang Dun looked at Luo Shang's formation and knew that Luo Shang was also a capable person, so he was half relieved.
Everyone discussed the strategy for tomorrow's attack and went back to their respective camps early to inform their soldiers.
Moreover, I will get up early tomorrow and take the initiative before it gets dark.
In other words, they have to go to bed early today.
........
In Yinping City, Li Te began to think about his future.
Originally, he was considered a prominent figure in Yongzhou, but he was just a figure. In terms of power, he didn't have much power.
It's different now.
He has 100,000 Qiang troops at his disposal.
Although there is a lot of water in this hundred thousand, some people have never even touched a knife.
But this is an army of 100,000.
With this 100,000-strong army, he can directly take Wudu County and Yinping County. If he wants, he can massacre the people, he can bully the people, he can carry the best woman in a county into his room, or he can
Trample the members of the aristocratic family underfoot.
but...
Li Te did not do anything.
Because he knows that the world now belongs to the Han people.
He just wanted a way out.
Zhao Yan killed his younger brother, so he wanted to avenge his younger brother.
It's that simple.
The Qiang people's method is also very simple.
"Brother."
While Li Te was thinking for a while, someone walked in from behind.
There are quite a few people.
Two younger brothers, Li Liu and Li Xiang. Two sons, Li Dang and Li Xiong, as well as his brother-in-law Li Han, and his subordinates Ren Hui, Shangguan Dun, Li Pan, Fei Tuo, Fu Cheng, Wei Bo and others.
.
These people are all the senior officials in Li Te's army.
"Now we have captured Yinping County and Wudu County, and collected a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and beauties. There are five of us each. If my brother doesn't want it, it will be unreasonable. Hahaha"
Li Liu smiled, and Li Xiang, Li Dang, Li Xiong and others also laughed.
But Li Te couldn't laugh.
Not only could he not laugh, he actually cried.
"I dare not forget the death of my younger brother. His revenge has not been avenged for a day, and I will not be able to sleep well. How can I still think about playing with women?"
As soon as Li Te said these words, it was everyone's turn to show embarrassment on their faces.
"It's just that Zhao Yan is in Yizhou, and his soldiers are very good in armor and weapons. Although we have many people, we can't make up a thousand pairs of armor. Some of them don't even have swords or halberds. How can we compete with them?"
Li Xiang also said on the side: "There is a saying among the Han people that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When we have armor and weapons, we will not worry about whether we can kill him or not."
"Yes, father, if you keep thinking about your uncle's death, how will you live this life? The brothers are still waiting for father to settle them!"
Brother-in-law Li Han also spoke at this time.
"Uncle, they are right. Besides, there are more than 100,000 people with more than 100,000 mouths, and the food problem has not yet been solved!"
When the issue of food and grass was mentioned, Li Liu also spoke up.
"Nowadays, if the supply of food and grass is less than a month, there will be no food. As for how to get other food, we have to find another way!"
.....
Everyone's words brought Li Te out of his sadness.
As for whether Li Te is truly sad or whether he is just showing his sadness to others, only he knows.
"I'm too sentimental."
Li Te wiped the tears from his face.
"Brothers value friendship. This is the character a Qiang leader should have."
"Yes, this is the leader of the Qiang people."
Everyone was praising you and me. This posture showed that Li Te was following Li Te's lead.
This is also easy to understand. It turns out that they are used as cannon fodder. To say how much the Han people in Shu respect them, they naturally don't have much respect. They usually don't say they play with women, and they don't even have enough food and clothing.
.
But now, there are all kinds of women you want to play with, and you can eat whatever kind of meat you want.
Under such conditions, of course everyone followed Li Te's lead.
Of course, if Li Te didn't even have food, everyone would be in a different situation.
"Although some wheat in Yinping County and Wuwei County is about to mature, it will still have to wait for one or two months, and we cannot afford to wait for one or two months."
If we can't wait for the food to mature, we have no choice but to rob the Han people of food.
Li Te’s words speak for themselves.
"There is a granary in Hanzhong County. If we capture it, we will have no worries this year."
Li Xiong said.
Unexpectedly, Li Te shook his head slightly.
"We can't rob the Han people's granaries. At least we can't do it now. The Han people are too powerful now. To fight against the Han people, even if we have an army of 100,000, this kind of army is nothing more than a ragtag army.
Compared with the Han army, it is far behind. Now we are facing the Han people, and the odds are against us."
"How can eldest brother increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?"
"Just telling the truth."
After saying this, Li Te looked around at everyone and said seriously: "We do have some people now, but we can't be arrogant just because we have these people. The Han people are more powerful than you think."
Li Te blindly boasted about the strength of the Han people, which made Li Xiong a little angry, but he did not dare to contradict his father's words, so he had to change his question.
"Since we can't touch the Han people's granaries, how can we Qiang people fill their bellies? And what's the point of saying that we plundered Yinping City?"
"We want to be rebels."
Li Te's eyes sparkled.
"What Zhao Yan is doing is the trade of rebellious officials and traitors. Although we are Qiang people, we are also Jin people. We can be rebels and capture Chengdu, the granary of Chengdu."
Capture Chengdu?
Everyone looked at each other and thought about what Li Te wanted in the end, which was revenge.
Just when everyone was about to continue to comfort Li Te, the latter did shake his head slightly.
"I know what you are going to say, but Zhao Ren won't live long. When we left, the Han army came to the south of Zhao Ren. Originally, he set up troops in Hanzhong just to deal with us. Why didn't he fight now? Is he afraid?
The hundred thousand of us?”
"Is it possible? But this possibility is unlikely. The greater possibility is that he was pursued and intercepted by the Han court, so he could only put you and me aside."
Li Te wanted to continue talking, but at this moment, a guard trotted in from outside the door.
"General, there is an envoy outside the city who calls himself Yizhou Mu Zhao Yan and wants to see the general."
"Hahaha."
Hearing the guard's words, Li Te immediately laughed twice.
"Am I right? If Zhao Yun had not encountered a strong enemy, how could he have sent an envoy here? In my opinion, this envoy would only ask me to send troops to help him. Haha, this Zhao Yuan is really close to death.
