Chapter 151 Yan Kingdom Sudai(2/2)
However, unknown forces in the Loess Plateau sent troops to seize the villages in the mountains in the north, and the territory occupied by Zhang Hua was reduced.
Fortunately, the population density in the plateau area was not enough, so Zhang Hua still obtained the main population.
"This group of forces is unknown yet."
"In addition to us, Qinchuan also has Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in Chang'an Town and Duke Xiao of Qin in Xianyang Town. In the western part of Qinchuan, there are many forces, including a powerful force that should not be underestimated, that is Cao Zhen, the general of Wei in Chencang Town."
Zhang Hua discussed major events with many think tanks, and his eyes fell on Chen Cang's position on the topographic map.
Chen Cang is a must-pass place from Guanzhong to Xiliang and Hanzhong. It is located at a critical location and is a must-fight for military strategists.
Zhuge Liang went to Qishan six times and attacked the Central Plains in the north, but never captured Chen Cang.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang was unable to enter Guanzhong directly from Hanzhong, so he had to take Xiliang first and then plot against Guanzhong.
This also means that if there is force to occupy Chencang and Chencang is the main city, then refugees from Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Hanzhong can be absorbed and become princes.
The princes entrenched in Chencang City were not others, but Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei.
Cao Zhen was Cao Cao's adopted son and commanded the most elite army of the Cao Wei Group - the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen had no sense of existence. The two generals who served as the chief of tigers and leopards were Cao Chun and Cao Xiu.
During the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Zhen began to emerge.
When the famous generals die, Cao Zhen becomes the general of Wei State.
According to Zhang Hua's knowledge, the time when Cao Zhen's army traveled to this world was in the second year of Taihe, which was 228 AD.
In that year, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, made a northern expedition, Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding all surrendered to Shu Han.
Emperor Cao Rui of Wei personally led a war to Chang'an and sent Cao Zhen to the commander of the army to garrison in Qi, leading various Wei troops to defeat Zhuge Liang.
When Cao Zhen discussed with a group of Wei generals how to force Zhuge Liang to retreat and recover the three counties of Xiliang, he traveled to the Chencang area of the Guanzhong Plain in this world.
So Cao Zhen re-established Chencang Town in the Chencang area, attacked powerful enemies from all directions, and regarded himself as the Wei army.
Moreover, Cao Zhen asked about the traces of Emperor Wu of Wei Cao, and wanted to merge with Cao Cao, conquer the world, and defeat powerful enemies from all dynasties.
But Cao Cao was not in the Guanzhong Plain.
Cao Zhen became the lord of Chen Cang's forces.
Originally, Cao Zhen's ability was not top-notch among the lords, but Cao Zhen brought the Wei generals who were fighting Zhuge Liang at that time and crossed over, gaining an advantage in the early stage. With his military strength, he gradually destroyed dozens of forces of all sizes and conquered generals from other dynasties. Therefore, Cao Zhen's Cao Wei army's strength should not be underestimated.
Cao Zhen is a major force worthy of attention in the western part of the Guanzhong Plain.
Cao Zhen’s tiger and leopard cavalry made Zhang Hua even more afraid.
Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is more brave than An Lushan's Yiluohe, because the requirements for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's military source are also more stringent, and most of them are composed of hundreds of generals.
In addition to Cao Zhen in Chen Cang, there are also counties such as Youfufeng, and some middle-level forces are separatist.
Qinchuan has many forces in the eight hundred miles. After a new round of expansion of major lords, Qinchuan's power has been reduced from hundreds to dozens.
"Cao Zhenyuan is in Chencang, and there will be no conflict with us in the short term. The strong enemies we face are mainly Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in Chang'an Town and Duke Xiao of Qin in Xianyang Town."
"Zong Xuanzong of Tang regards Yao Chong as prime minister, Li Daozong, Xue Rengui, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Mingzhen, Qi Bi Heli and others as generals, with excellent military and armor."
"Qin Xiaogong used Shang Yang as the mastermind, Meng Tian as the leader of the left, and the reputation of Prince Fusu, as well as military generals Wang Li and Gan Mao, are not easy to deal with."
"Tang Xuanzong and Qin Xiaogong all have a population of one million. What I worry most is the alliance between the two sides."
"There are still unknown forces eyeing the hills and other places on the Loess Plateau."
Zhang Hua expressed his concerns.
By defeating An Lushan and replacing him, Zhang Hua did not relax because of this.
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and An Lushan were the strongest, he was in a glorious and full of energy, but he fell down.
"You can only wait to find out the details of the forces in the north in detail before you can make a decision."
