176 The Right Arm

Yan Zhong hurriedly replied: "One hundred thousand soldiers, the people of the two counties, the lives of the generals, all depend on the generals. The general should be prepared early and must not take it lightly."

Wang Guo hurriedly asked: "In accordance with the military advisor's opinion, how should we do it?"

Yan Zhong bowed and replied, "The so-called 'the truth has many help, but the loss of the truth has few help'. The general is a common person, and his reputation is correct and obedient. Although the thirty-six tribes of Qiangqu are greedy for money, they may not be less righteous. As long as everyone needs the full help, even if Beigong and General Li suddenly attack, the general can stand invincible. For the current plan, we should secretly contact the loyal and righteous people to help."

"Who can be loyal and righteous?" Wang Guo asked again.

"According to what the humble subordinates see, Bian Zhang and Han Sui, they are all heroes in troubled times. They can be left-handed and right-handed."

"The two of them wrote famous works in Xizhou, both of them are heroes. It is exactly my wish." The kingdom made up his mind: "Can military advisors have a way to persuade?"

"Just like this..." Yan Zhong asked the kingdom to come to his ears.

"wonderful!"

Ten minutes of sunrise (7:00).

After thinking hard for a night, Han Sui, who had not obtained anything, picked up the dogwood fruits one by one. He tied the two ends tightly and put them in the box. He was full of suspicion and left it behind for the time being, so he went to inspect various construction sites without mentioning them.

When the enemy is in front of you, you can first defend the camp so that you can act according to the opportunity. If you don’t have enough weight in your hands, how can you get a high official and a wealthy salary and a safe family?

After patrolling, soldiers came to report to the emperor, and the generals of the kingdom of the kingdom were invited.

Han Sui did not dare to delay, so he rushed to General Shihan's mansion to meet the kingdom.

At the same time, An Xuan, the rich merchant of An Xuan, has also arrived at Jincheng Jinbianzhang Camp.

Bian Zhang was also from Jincheng, whose real name was Bian Yun. In his early years, he was famous for both Han Sui and was famous in Xizhou. He was also entangled by the rioters.

Unlike the previous bicycles entering the camp, An Xuan moved most of the caravans to set up a shed in the army market in the camp. An Xuan was originally a wealthy merchant and had a good personal relationship with the kingdom of the General of the Hezhong Kingdom. Bian Zhang was also an old acquaintance with An Xuan, so he never stopped him.

The reason why it is sold in the military camp is very simple. In the hands of these soldiers who rebel, there are a large number of utensils from wealthy and powerful families, including gold and jade, jewelry, and even family heirlooms. They can find a bargain while they are in chaos and can be a big profit point for travelers.

Just imagine, these treasures of unknown origin can only be sold to merchants on the Silk Road with uncertain whereabouts. Things from this place are brought to that place; things inside the pass are taken to the Western Regions. Such bans that are traversed and trampled, and blood-stained, should have been successfully whitewashed.

For the thief army, this is the huge value of the existence of travelers.

When Han Sui, who had returned from the General's Mansion when An Xuan was in the middle of the Bian Zhangying, heard that Han Sui was silent for a long time.

The Qiang people in the northern part of Huangzhong have recently begun to form groups and gathered together again next to the Qiang prince Diaoling. This is the internal affairs of the Qiang people, and there is no need to intervene. The three groups of the Han army are under the turmoil. Once the pass is broken, why should we distinguish the Qiang people from under the butcher's knife? I believe that Diaoling and Diaoling should be mixed up, and we should know that the overall situation is the most important. We will never be able to fight and cannot be dealt with.

Well...An Xuan went to Bianzhang Camp for a long time, what did it mean?

Hongchiling.

Fifty thousand troops, ten thousand auxiliary troops, and thousands of craftsmen came to the villages along the mountain. They repaired the city blocks and beacon towers. The Great Wall was mostly damaged, but the foundation of the wall was still there. It was not difficult to repair. This place is about 400 miles east of Jincheng. It is not far or near, and the army can reach it in three days. After hearing this news, I should redouble my efforts to build the border seal of Jincheng Pass.

During the century-old Qiang Rebellion, the cities and beacon towers were blocked along the way, and the damage was severe. Fortunately, most of the foundations were intact and the repair speed was extremely fast.

When it comes to building a city, Ji Kingdom is the best in the world. Why should the construction materials be transported from the Western Regions? The dragon kiln built along the mountain and the brick kilns surrounding the foot of the mountain have produced the first batch of hard pottery water pipes, hollow Han bricks, and cloud-patterned tiles. They are piled up for use. Thousands of feet high buildings are raised on the flat ground. The same is true for the city. The channel diversion and underground pipeline networks, and every exit and entry are all the top priority.

It is different from the original single city wall connecting the east and west. What was built at this time is a huge pass.

What is a pass?

In short, it is a large barrier city. It depends on the rushing force and uses the terrain to build barrier walls, either in front or behind, or in front and behind. It is a city within. It is a pass. This is true for Hulao and Huguan.

The two cities of Anyuan and Anmen will also be expanded. The simple military fort will be transformed into a strong city with a capacity of five miles across and a vertical capacity of 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

"Where do the people come from?" Zang Ba couldn't help asking.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Nature is coming from migrating."

Zang Ba still looked puzzled: "This place is very deserted and not suitable for farming. It is far away from the four counties in Hexi and several counties in the eastern part of Liangzhou. It is an enclave. And it is surrounded by Qiang tribes..."

At this point, Zang Ba had already realized: "The two officials want to bring Qiang people here?"

Li Ru then said, "As Xuan Gao thought, I and the Zuo Cheng have reported to the lord. After the war, some Qiang people and Hu in Huangzhong will be moved to the city, shepherd sheep and horses, and stationed in this city."

"So that's it." Zang Ba is also a general. In recent years, he has made many progress around the two prefecture ministers. Looking back on the mountain and river topographic maps of Liangzhou and the Western Regions, he suddenly realized: "The two prefecture ministers want to take over the four counties in Hexi."

"That's right." Xi Zhicai replied with a smile: "Hexi Corridor is the throat that enters and exits the pass. How can it be strangled by others?"

"Why don't you take the opportunity to seize Liangzhou?" Zang Ba asked again.

"We also want to do so. The court must not allow it!" Li Ru sighed.

"So that's it..." Zang Ba understood. The four counties in Hexi guarded the Hexi Corridor, which is the key to connecting the throat of the Western Regions. If you focus on the earth in Guanzhong and Luoyang in the world, the Western Regions, Hexi, and even Liangzhou are all barren lands. You can abandon them.

However, if the Western Regions are centered, the importance of the four counties in Hexi is self-evident. First take the four counties, then plan for Liangzhou, and then the Sanfu Sili. When Guanxi and Guanzhong are all in the middle, what is the difficulty in Guandong? Then, it is easy to embrace the great Henan and the north and south of the country, and only Jiangdong is left.

"The so-called slow plan is to be slowly. There are many foreign races living in the Western Regions and Liangzhou, and the number of Han people is small. It is not difficult to capture Liangzhou, but it is not easy to defend. As the lord said, "continuous Chineseization", it is the right way. You should not act too quickly." Li Ru was good at luring him.

Zang Ba was taught carefully: "I will understand it in the end."

Another important reason for establishing a pass at Hongchiling is that this place is also a strategic location leading to the Western Qiang.

In Guangzong County, the camp of generals of chariots and cavalry.

After capturing Yecheng, General Lu Zhi of the Cavalry led General Zang Min of the Liao Dynasty, General Tian Yan of the capture of the enemy, and General Huangfu Song of the Left Central Army. The troops were divided into various directions and surrounded them from all sides, and attacked Guangzong County.

The Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were forced into a desperate situation.

The commander Lu Zhi also wanted to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou as soon as possible, and then march south to lift the siege of Changshe.

After reviewing the last official document, it was already the time when the rooster crowed. Lu Zhi got up, washed and changed his clothes, and just now he was lying on the bed, when he suddenly heard shouts outside the tent.

"Why is it noisy?" Lu Zhi stood up and asked.

"Report——" Then a soldier reported in front of his tent: "The camp was suddenly trapped and destroyed several sections of the camp wall in the northwest corner. The camp tent, vehicles, and horses were all buried in the soil!"

"Sinking ground?" Lu Zhi was stunned: "Is there an earthquake?"

"There was no earthquake." The sergeant replied.

"Is there any abnormality?" Lu Zhi asked again.

"..." The sergeant hesitated, as if he had a hidden secret.

"It's okay, but let's talk about it."

"There are night patrol soldiers in front of the sinking ground, and they see the bright light shining in the northwest at night from afar. That's right, it's right..."

"explain!"
