Farmer of Shu Han

Ever since Feng Yong's army appeared on the border of Jincheng, Zhang knew that Lu Pan, the guard of Xiping County, and Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, had fallen for it.

He sent someone to send the news across the river as quickly as possible.

After Xu Miao received the news, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"This is a sincere, vicious and treacherous person!

Xu Miao was trembling all over.

Yuzhong is definitely gone.

Although the news from Zhang said that the situation in Yuzhong was unknown.

But Xu Miao knew that Yuzhong must be gone, and the only thing that was uncertain was how long Yuzhong would last.

More importantly, Zhang Hua led the soldiers of Jincheng to rescue Yuzhong, but was cut off by Feng Yong who emerged from the mountains.

This is what Xu Miao is most concerned about.

If Jincheng's reinforcements are wiped out, Jincheng will not be guaranteed.

If Jincheng is not guaranteed, the Shu army can take the opportunity to cross the river, go up Lishui, and occupy Lingju.

Once the order is lost, the Shu army can attack Xiping from the right and enter Liangzhou from the left.

But at this time, the remaining soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are all in Xiping.

If Xiping's soldiers and horses cannot be withdrawn in time...

Thinking that all these consequences were caused by the elusive Feng Wenhe, Xu Miao couldn't help cursing again: "Vicious and deceitful, vicious and deceitful..."

"My lord, since the purpose of the Shu army's trip is to attack Jincheng, why don't you send General Lu to Lingju?"

The staff suggested.

Xu Miao's eyes were out of focus, and his face was heavy, "I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Jincheng Chengjian, as long as Zhang's uncle and nephew can hold on for a while, it will be enough for General Lu..."

"What if the Golden City is lost at this time?"

Xu Miao abruptly interrupted the words of the staff, crumpled the secret letter into a ball, and veins popped up on the back of his hand, "It's only two or three days from Jincheng to Lingju."

"I'm afraid that as soon as the governor's mansion's letter arrives at Xiping, the Shu people will already have arrived at Lingju City. There are only two or three hundred soldiers in Lingju City. How long can they hold off for a few days?"

"If Lu Pan leads the army rashly, and there is another mistake, Liangzhou will have to surrender."

Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just in case.

The news that Jincheng was robbed of food and grass, and the rescue army in Yuzhong was cut off by Feng Yong made Xu Miao really dare not gamble.

Because he lost the bet, Liangzhou was gone!

"Send a letter to General Lu, asking him to take people back to Liangzhou immediately, and leave from Dadou Bagu!"

The majestic Qilian Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from east to west, forming the southern barrier of the Hexi Corridor and separating Xiping from the Hexi Corridor.

Among the mountains, there is a canyon that connects Xiping and the Hexi Corridor.

This is the big fight to pull the valley.

Exiting the mountain pass of this canyon is Zhangye County in the west of Wuwei County.

It is the only way of the South Silk Road and the fastest passage from Xiping back to the Hexi Corridor.

"But my lord, in this way, Jincheng County and Xiping County..."

"Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, with these four counties, is Liangzhou, so what we have to do now is to defend these four counties."

Xu Miao said word by word.

After saying this, he closed his eyes in pain, let out a long sigh, and said in a lonely tone, "The rest, I can't do anything about it!"

Zhang Jiu's timely message, and Xu Miao's caution this time, saved the last remaining troops in Liangzhou.

Let Lu Pan have three more days to gather all the Wei troops in Xiping County and prepare to cross the only mountain pass in Qilian Mountains and return to Zhangye, Liangzhou.

However, the sudden big move of the Xiping Wei army produced an unexpected episode.

Xihai's balding department and Qiang Hu panicked: We have listened to Mr. Lu's mediation and no longer fight. What do you want to do?

Even the bald tribe had to temporarily stay away from the Xiping border for the sake of the safety of their own tribe.

In the Yongliang area, especially in the Hexi Corridor where there is little rain, almost all the cities are built on the flat land beside the river.

Across the river from Jincheng, there is a water that flows into the river, called Lishui.

Going up against the Lishui River, Zhiyang County, Yunjie County, and Lingju County are listed along its borders.

Zhang rescued Lu Pan and Wei Jun in Xiping, but he didn't know that he had been caught in a conspiracy.

He and his uncle walked all the way along Lishui, comforting them all the way.

Feng Yong, known as "Xiao Wenhe", led the army behind them and closed the city all the way behind them.

Lingju County is the key point leading to the Hexi Corridor, and it is also the largest county seat of Jincheng County on the west side of the river.

During Emperor Xiaowu's reign, Huo Huoqi once built fortifications and canals here as the frontier to pacify Hexi.

Later, the great Han Dynasty set up land officials and soldiers here. During Emperor Guangwu's time, it was once the administrative office of the Huqiang school.

At the gate of the county government office in the city, the county magistrate was sending Zhang Hua and his group to leave.

Just listening to Zhang, he said to the county magistrate of Lingju County: "Lingju County is the throat of Liangzhou. Now that the soldiers from Shu are not here, County Magistrate Li just took this opportunity to comfort people's hearts, repair armor and build a city wall for later. "

The magistrate of Lingju County complied with his promise.

But at this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Shu soldiers are here!"

Lingju City, which had already regained its calm, suddenly became chaotic.

"Who is talking nonsense here and disturbing the hearts of the people!"

When Zhang Hua heard this, he was furious and shouted loudly while holding his sword.

When he led the troops back to Jincheng, he first thought that the Shu army hadn't caught up, and then met Feng Yong blocking the way, and his nephew rescued him, but he didn't know that Wei Yan followed him again.

There were ups and downs, twists and turns, sad and happy, and the mood changes were so great that in the end he was so excited that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

So he is extremely sensitive to the word Shubing.

What's more, I and others said that Shu soldiers would not cross the river, and now there are people shouting and shouting, is it on purpose? !

Shu soldiers Shu soldiers, where are there so many Shu soldiers!

A group of people looked at the source of the sound, only to see a few Wei soldiers guarding an official, shouting loudly while rushing towards this side.

But all the common people and officials who heard the news scattered and fled.

"Take down those people quickly!"

Zhang Hua shouted loudly.

"No, isn't that the magistrate of Yunjie County?"

Zhang Jiu had sharp eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

Yunjie County is not far from Zhiyang County. When the uncle and nephew arrived there, the magistrate of this county had already abandoned the city and fled. Only the county magistrate was a local, so he stayed behind in the county seat.

Later, Zhang Hua, as the prefect of Jincheng, asked him to act as the county magistrate.

Unexpectedly, only one day later, the county magistrate suddenly appeared in Lingju City.

Thinking of this, Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose from his heart.

The county magistrate of Nayunjie County saw the county government and Zhang's uncle and nephew.

He rushed over staggeringly, "Nephew and uncle of the Zhang family, you are also disciples of the Hexi high school, I never thought you would be such shameless people!"

"What did you say!"

Zhang Hua drew his half sword out of its sheath and was about to step forward.

Zhang Jiu stopped in front of him, "Ding County Chancellor, what do you mean by that?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!"

The crown hat on Ding Xiancheng's head has long been lost, and the heat on his head is rising, and the sweat is dripping down like a steamer that has just been uncovered.

His face was flushed from the sun, he was panting heavily, and he pointed at Zhang Jiu with trembling fingers: "A son of the Zhang family in Dunhuang, how dare you do such a deceitful thing!"

Zhang looked at Ding Xiancheng, who was full of grief and anger, and his ominous feeling became stronger and stronger: "Ding Xiancheng, please be careful!"

"What's the use of talking carefully with me and Xizuo!" Ding Xiancheng still pointed at Zhang and refused to let go, "The uncles and nephews of the Zhang family are Shu people's Xizuo! Don't believe what they say!"

"How can you defile someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Unable to hold back, Zhang Hua stepped forward from behind Zhang Jiu and drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Innocent? How come you are innocent?"

The more Ding Xiancheng talked, the more excited he became, and he just rushed up to fight.

"What did you say that Shu people can't cross the river, let me wait lightly, but the next day after you left, Shu people came to the city!"

"Just looking at this matter, it is clear that you have colluded with the Shu people, so what face is there to say that you are innocent?"

Zhang turned pale with shock: "Impossible! We saw with our own eyes that the pontoon bridge had been demolished, and the Shu captives even set fire to it..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, thinking of a very frightening possibility: Could someone be plotting against them?

As long as there is no one to stop it, if the Shu army wants to cross the river, isn't that a simple matter?

Moreover, they were only guessing about the return of the Shu captives to their teachers, and they were not sure at all.

It's just that the Shu captives can cross the river directly, and even arrive at the city of Lingju two or three days earlier. Why did they make such a big circle?

This is exactly what Zhang couldn't figure out, and it was precisely this that led his mind to a crooked place, causing him to make a mistake in judgment.

Thinking of this, Zhang felt like he was going crazy.

who is it?

Who has the leisure to do such a detrimental thing?

"Shu captive, have you really crossed the river?"

Zhang was trembling, and asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"Yun Street has been lost, and the people of Shu are afraid that it is less than a day's journey away from here!"

Ding Xiancheng smiled miserably.

When the two sides confronted each other, the magistrate of Lingju County had already retreated calmly.

At the same time, the guards of Lingju County also quietly surrounded them.

"If this is true, it's all my uncle and nephew's fault."

Zhang Jiu's complexion was ashen and pale, and all thoughts were lost.

"Da Lang..."

When Zhang Hua heard this, he was very anxious.

Zhang smiled wryly and shook his head: "If the Shu people really cross the river, it will be useless for us to say anything."

As he spoke, his voice sank, as if he was muttering to himself, but in fact only Zhang Hua could hear him, "What's more, Jincheng fell..."

Reminded by him like this, Zhang Hua remembered that he was the body to be punished.

And this crime was precisely because of Jincheng.

When you think of Jincheng, you will remember all kinds of battles with Shu soldiers.

Anger, resentment, aggrieved and many other emotions came to my heart.

He was mad with rage, roared, and threw his sword to the ground: "I am so angry! Who is it, who is so vicious, and traps my uncle and nephew in such an unjust place!"

Zhang Jiu's complexion was even worse than that of Ding Xiancheng, "It's impossible to argue, it's just like that."

"Up to now, I still want to quibble!"

Ding Xiancheng was furious.

Looking at the Wei soldiers around, Zhang untied his long sword, "Uncle and I are going to plead guilty to Mr. Xu. If you are interested, you might as well send us to Guzang."

The magistrate of Lingju County breathed a sigh of relief: "That's very good, Prefect Zhang, Zhang Changshi, offended!"

Lingju County is a large county in Jincheng County, and it is also located in an important place. To be able to be a county magistrate here, the foundation of Li County Magistrate will naturally not be too low.

The people of Shu occupied Longyou and cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong. If Wei Guo could recover Longyou sooner, it would be fine, but if not... No one knows what will happen to Liangzhou in the end.

The Zhang family in Dunhuang is a wealthy family in Liangzhou. At this time, it is better to offend less.

On the second day after Zhang's uncle and nephew left, Feng Yong led the army and arrived as scheduled.

Lingju City is the only relatively large city in the Lishui Valley, and it is also the only city still guarded by soldiers.

Looking at the sparse guards on the top of the city, Feng Yong groaned, and then sighed: "This Lingju city is an important place, so the city is high and the pool is deep, and the guards are strict."

Zhang Yuan: ...

"Send the order and send people back immediately to inform General Wei that I need him to send troops to support."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the top of the city, and responded a little later than usual: "No!"

Zhang Yuan quickly passed on the military order, and finally couldn't help but say something when he came back.

"Shan Zhang, the students don't understand something."

"What?"

Feng Yong walked along the edge of Lishui, checked the situation around Lingju City, and found that this is indeed the best place in the valley along the way.

The land on both sides of the river is open, which is good for farming.

Looking from here, the mountains behind suddenly converge, and the city happens to be stuck in this convergent place.

Building camps and stationing troops here can not only make use of the flat land of the river valley for reclamation, but also march into Liangzhou at any time.

Huo Huoqi's vision back then was indeed unique.

In the recent Liangzhou rebellion, Qiang Hu Yicong, who was recruited from Huangzhong by the Later Han Dynasty, was originally guarding Lingju to suppress the rebels in Jincheng.

Unexpectedly, even Huang Zhongyi joined the army to rebel. After Lingju fell, the situation suddenly escalated.

"Shan Zhang, even without the Zhang family's uncle and nephew, we can easily take over the counties in the Lishui River Valley."

"The students don't understand, why didn't the head of the mountain cross the river earlier and directly take down the city?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Feng Yong smiled in relief.

"Muzhi, if you can ask this question, it means that you have been able to think independently and become a real consultant."

Zhang Yuan received the praise, and smiled with some embarrassment.

Students are eager to learn, so Feng Yong is naturally willing to say a few more words. He pointed to Lingju City not far away, "It is not difficult for us to capture here."

"If we wait for General Wei to come, we can even try to enter Liangzhou."

"It's just soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, you must pay attention to it."

"During the pacification of Liangzhou, how many casualties will we have? On the surface, the counties of Liangzhou will return to the Han, but how many people will actually rebel again?"

"This is something we need to think about. Muzhi, what we want is a Liangzhou that truly surrenders to the big man, at least a Liangzhou that won't block the big man."

"The lowest is the lowest, and it must be a Liangzhou that will not make trouble for the big man in the rear when the big man and Cao thief are at a stalemate."

"You have also read the information on Liangzhou. Over the past hundred years, how much food and troops did the Later Han spend in Liangzhou?"

"Severe ailments cannot be treated suddenly with strong medicines, but the body must be recuperated before it can be cured slowly."

"The uncles and nephews of the Zhang family are the introductions. I want to use them to bring out the diseases in Liangzhou."

Zhang Yuan seems to understand but not understand.

"Shan Zhang, the students don't understand."

"Since Cao Bandit usurped us, Liangzhou's rebellions have never stopped. So, not all the aristocratic families in Liangzhou sincerely surrender to Cao Bandit!"

"The matter of the Zhang family's uncle and nephew, regardless of whether the Cao thief in Liangzhou is punished or not, it is very difficult to deal with! Hoho, haha!"

Thinking of his pride, Feng Yong laughed strangely.

Even if the Zhang family's uncle and nephew deserved their punishment, at such a sensitive time, Xu Miao and the Zhang family could easily have a rift.

Not punishing him means that Xu Miao is afraid of the nobles in Liangzhou.

How can Feng Yong not be clear about the nature of those aristocratic families and local wealthy families?

With a strong enemy under pressure, foreign aid cut off, and the temptation of some huge benefits, Feng Junhou can guess what kind of choice they will make without using his brain to think, only with his brain stem.

The uncles and nephews of the Zhang family are just a catalyst to accelerate and magnify their internal conflicts.
