Liangzhou's landforms are complex and diverse, including mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys, deserts, and Gobi. This state involves the intersection of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the N-plateau.

If we were to use simpler words to describe the significance and value of this state, they would probably be 'key point' and 'isolation of Hu and Qiang'.

Liangzhou is an important passage connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions. It is the only way to enter the Silk Road from Chang'an to the west. At the same time, it also gathers a large number of foreigners who have returned to the Han Dynasty. It is a buffer zone for the Han people to try to coexist and integrate with foreigners.

Obviously, the attempt failed miserably.

The site selection and construction of Liangzhou city is usually not based on the richness of the environmental land.

There are many foreign tribes in Liangzhou and its surroundings, and the west is surrounded by Qinghai Diqiang and other countries in the Western Regions.

The location of the city in Liangzhou was mainly to isolate the Hu, Qiang, and Xiongnu from each other. At the same time, it protected the main official road and tried to block the direct contact between the Hu and Qiang and other countries in the Western Regions.

In fact, the so-called "one man becomes the five barbarians" is not simply a matter of fighting. Taking into account various factors, some of the policies are actually quite unethical.

Some things should not be beautified blindly, otherwise, future generations will only wonder why a kind-hearted sissy can be so good at fighting?

"Oh~~~Oh~~!" He put his horse on a loess slope. After looking at the dry and barren land, he could see an oasis of green grass. Liu Cang shouted happily, and the eagles in the sky responded, and the sound spread far away.

There are many plains in the Central Plains, and counties in Jizhou and Bingzhou are mostly built between mountains. However, the various landforms in Liangzhou are scattered and scattered. There are many mountains and rivers, but they are fragmented. The lush green areas are either occupied by herds of ferocious beasts or gathered by humans.

place.

"Haha, after crossing the Wei River, my lord seems to be in a good mood." Beside Liu Cang, Pan Feng smiled at Liu Cang.

Pan Feng rides a war horse with a wolverine lying on his shoulders. The horse is covered with cloth while sitting down. There is a hard leather feather tassel on the horse's back, legs and buttocks, and an eagle preening its feathers stands on it.

Liu Cang and his party rode five hundred men, and they were accompanied by slave soldiers to escort the baggage. Most of the war cavalry were in the state of Pan Feng, with wolverines accompanying them and eagles withered at their feet.

"Haha, after leaving the hinterland of the imperial power, it suddenly dawned on me that if there is any trouble with the royal family in the future, I will rush to thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to build a city and stronghold, and will never mediate with others." Liu Cang stretched out his arms and laughed, looking up.

sky.

He only stayed in Luoyang for a few months, and spent more time in Shanglin Garden, but Liu Cang felt restricted everywhere, as if he was carrying thousands of pounds of shackles.

This time he led a left army Sima, but he could only lead a small group of 500 private troops. After leaving Chang'an and crossing the Wei River, Liu Cang threw off his caution and spoke wildly when he saw the vast world.

"We will follow your lord!" Liu Cang said wildly, and the soldiers behind him responded. When the elite soldiers responded, even the three hundred slave soldiers behind who were hauling heavy equipment also followed suit.

There is no need to go out for training, no need to worry about trivial matters, you only need to complete the assigned work, and you can also save money to marry a wife. Liu Cang even promised that he would never force slave soldiers to fight in battle. The Luyuan slaves seemed to be very satisfied with their current life.

"Shut up, shut up, everyone!" Liu Maode shouted anxiously, and all the troops laughed.

"My lord, please stop shouting nonsense. It won't do you any good if people spread the news." Liu Maode looked anxious and distressed.

He is the most slippery among the group. Would you say he is prudent? But he is also the most unscrupulous person who digs holes for others.

"Hahahaha." Liu Cang laughed. He didn't say anything rebellious. At most, he was just avoiding trouble in the countryside.

Liu Maode rolled his eyes. Seeing Liu Cang's madness, the generals around him grinned and felt excited in their hearts.

Liu Cang attacked the Duke of Dongping and stripped his territory. During this period, Liu Hong's various tricks were seen by everyone.

His Majesty Liu Hong really cannot get along with him up close. From a distance he looks majestic and orthodox, but up close there are very few people who can still respect him.

"Guard your mouth, if you dare to speak nonsense outside, don't blame the ruthless military law!" Unable to control Liu Cang, Liu Maode turned his face and shouted to the elite soldiers.

"Well, we can save it." Everyone responded. Although they were smiling, they did not contradict Liu Maode, the supervisor's order.

On this trip, 500 elite soldiers were equipped with war horses, and 300 slave soldiers also brought draft horses and 100 trailers to carry them. The 500 war horses were not from Luyuan, but Liu Cang brought them out from Shanglin Garden and put them directly into the

into the breeding system.

It doesn’t matter whether you say he has no awe or he is a broken person. Anyway, Liu Cang was completely disappointed with Liu Hong. You don’t need to follow the rules with Liu Hong, just be polite. If you follow the rules with him, you have already lost.

After walking through the mounds and wasteland, a village appeared on the green plains. The village occupies a large area and is surrounded by fences and walls. There are many tents set up inside, and there is a dock in the center of the village. Obviously, most residents here are not engaged in farming.

The main Han nationality.

"There are many Hu Qiang people in Liangzhou. The people here are powerful and savage. You don't need to be polite when walking here. Don't be underestimated." Seeing that there were people taking precautions in the village, Liu Cang said to his entourage.

"Here." Everyone responded. They had already seen people holding bows on guard in the distance, but looking at the ferocious beasts around Liu Cang, no one dared to look down upon them.

I saw an armored rhinoceros under Liu Cang's crotch, followed by a lion and a tiger on his left and right.

There were several brown bears in the generals' queue, and there was a small white tiger lying on the lion's head. The little white tiger seemed to be playing, patting the lion's head with one claw after another. The difference between the two was huge, and the lion didn't pay attention at all.

"Ji Ling, take the people to ask for directions and replenish Danshui." Liu Cang ordered, and Ji Ling waved and led the people to approach the village.

"Roar~!" The tiger roared as a warning. Liu Cang and his party did not stop and circled the village. The horses in the village groaned and the cows hummed. There were many people pointing in this direction and exclaiming from a distance. However, no one stopped Ji Ling and others from reaching the village entrance.

,to communicate.

Liu Cang and others walked along the road for a while, and there was a low mountain not far away. The flying bear on its shoulders was thrown out, and the gold standing on the rhinoceros' head also spread its wings and flew up.

The wolverine jumped down from the crowd and followed the flying bear into the short mountain. Jin Zi also took off with a hundred eagles screaming, and dozens of cavalry rushed out from the army to accompany them. Liu Cang and others stopped on horseback, waiting for the wolverine.

Returning from looking for food.

"Lord, I asked, this is within the territory of Wugong, and you can reach Meiyang in less than half a day." Ji Ling led people back, came to Liu Cang's side, and said to Liu Cang.

"Yes." Liu Cang nodded and looked south. To the south of Pingchuan, the mountains were hidden.

The rebels are composed of many forces. Bian Zhang and Han Sui are now regarded as the rebel commanders by Beigong Boyu. They have been replaced in response to the Zhang Jiao Yellow Turban Uprising.

According to the early battle report, Han Sui and Bian Zhang had stabilized Jincheng, and Beigong Boyu led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter the land of Sanfu under the pretext of killing the eunuchs.

It is said that the ten permanent servants were unlucky. After Han Sui and Bian Zhang joined the group, the rebel flag changed, and it seemed that He Jin was even less concerned about counterinsurgency matters.

Zhang Wen led 100,000 elite soldiers from the imperial court to Meiyang to block Beigong Boyu's eastward march. The destination of Liu Cang's march was Meiyang.

Not far from Meiyang to the south is the Wei River, and along the river to the northwest you can reach the vicinity of Jincheng.

If Meiyang crosses the Wei River and continues to the south, it is the Wuzhangyuan that is often talked about in later generations. After that, Chencang Mountain, Xie Valley, Ziwu Valley, Luo Valley, etc. are all places with continuous mountains.

Liu Cang had no soldiers and was worried that the soldiers commanded by Zhang Wen would not be obedient.

Bringing the tiger with him, the bear had many thoughts of entering the northern foothills of Yizhou and bringing out a group of ferocious beasts to intimidate the army, and also had some thoughts of driving the beasts away and frightening the enemy.

Ligers, tigers, bears, wolves, and Liu Cang all carry them. Fortunately, Xiongzhen orichalcum, the white tiger "Shanwang", and the white wolf "Laifu" are all cubs. It is obviously impossible for them to subjugate their own kind.

However, Liu Cang is also more powerful than in his early years. Just like the several large wolves and the adult tiger that accompanied the team, they were defeated by Liu Cang and were recognized by the system as breeding targets.

These tigers and wolves will become the full-time thugs of the Mountain King and Laifu. Once the two little ones are given more big brothers, it will be much easier to recruit the ferocious beasts.

As for the lion's "perm"? Liu Cang was not sure if there was a lion here, so he took it with him. If not, he would be included in the tiger team and temporarily serve as the mountain king's mount.

Of the more than 100,000 enemy troops, more than half are likely to be cyclists. Liu Cang's 500 soldiers are obviously not enough, and Zhang Wen's men will fall apart in minutes. This rebellion is definitely not like when Zhang Jiao was attacked.

So united.

But there was no shortage of horses and cattle in the land of Liangzhou. Liu Cang brought out all the spiritual beasts that the family could easily bring out. At the worst, he wanted to try to create a wave of fire bulls.
