Chapter 81 Prelude to the Great War(2/3)
I heard that the Qiang people were revolting again.
Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou, briefly lost his mind, but quickly recovered, with a calm look on his face, and gradually became more thoughtful.
"The Qiang people raised troops to resist without any warning."
"I'm afraid Ma Chao did it again!"
After thinking for a moment, he slowly pondered.
After learning that Liu Bei had sent Ma Chao north, Prime Minister Cao Cao was already keenly aware that something might happen to Liangzhou.
He then sent someone to tell Zhang Ji that he must be more vigilant.
Now that the Qiang people were rebelling, he immediately thought of Ma Chao.
He is also from Liangzhou.
Ma Chao is certainly familiar with the reputation of the mighty general who once served among the Qiang and Hu tribes.
Han Sui is now dead.
He was the only one who could single-handedly call on the Qiang people to rebel on a large scale.
Think about it.
Zhang Ji suddenly summoned Yang Fu to Liangzhou to work.
After half a while.
A tall, tall man from Xiliang, nearly eight feet tall, wearing a long mat and long robe, stepped forward.
"Fu paid a visit to the governor. I am anxious to summon Fu. Could it be that there is something going on in the counties of Liangzhou?"
In one word.
Yang Fu looked serious and asked solemnly with his hands raised.
There seemed to be a sharp look between his eyes.
It's as if he has everything in the world in his hands.
"Haha. Nothing can be hidden from Yishan's eyes."
"That's true!"
Looking at Yang Fu, he easily concluded that since Zhang had known him for many years, he was already used to it, so he smiled and said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, the military situation of the large-scale Qiang rebellion that had just occurred in Longxi was revealed truthfully!
"Concerning the current situation, Yishan, you have always been very resourceful, do you know if there is a solution?"
Zhang Ji asked bluntly.
Hearing this, Yang Fu pondered for a while, and then responded leisurely after a while: "Prince, your speculation on this matter is extremely reasonable, and Fu also strongly agrees that this is what Ma Chao did behind the scenes!"
"And if the prediction is correct, it turns out that this person is either on his way to Liangzhou or has arrived secretly."
"I'm afraid that Liangzhou's current defense strength alone will not be able to withstand a large-scale counterattack by the Qiang people!"
"We still have to inform the Prime Minister in time."
After a little analysis, he said decisively.
This way.
Originally, Liangzhou was initially established, and Xia Houyuan stationed there with heavy troops to intimidate all parties.
only.
Now is the critical moment for our side to conquer Hanzhong County.
As the western front army led by Xia Houyuan, it should be the main force.
If not.
The army is still there, even with Ma Chao's call.
The Qiang people from all sides may not dare to raise a large number of people to rebel again.
Following Yang Fu's advice, Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, could not help but think about these matters.
He groaned for a long time.
Yang Fu just said in a deep voice: "As for the next step, Fu suggested that our army first strengthen the wall and clear the country, and then use the stronghold to defend the city and confront the rebels."
"The Qiang people lack the means to attack the city and lack the weapons to attack the city. Even if they are strong, as long as they avoid going out of the city to engage in close combat, our army will not be afraid of them!"
"Just wait for the Prime Minister to make a decision!"
"Liangzhou is the foundation, and the Prime Minister is determined not to ignore it."
In one word.
He also said with a firm look on his face while cupping his hands.
In terms of the importance of Liangzhou.
Yang Fu believed that even if his current focus is on conquering Hanzhong, as long as he hears that there is a crisis here, he will not ignore it.
Because if Liangzhou is in danger, it means that Sanfu is in danger!
Once Liangzhou falls.
The Qiang people's iron cavalry will be like a sharp sword out of the body, threatening the three auxiliaries and attacking the Guanzhong Plain.
Guanzhong is the rear area.
This place is in danger, so why talk about conquering Shu?
Under Yang Fu's repeated words.
Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou, was naturally able to see the current situation clearly.
Immediately afterwards, he also took countermeasures.
They first sent people to report the military situation to Prime Minister Cao Cao on the front line, and ordered people to quickly order Fei Yao and Dai Ling to strengthen the walls and clear the country to hold on to the important ground and resist the Qiang people.
It is forbidden to go out of the city to fight with him.
Subsequently, Zhang Ji also gave full play to his advantages in governing the people and government.
Begin to recruit young men from various counties and organize them into an army, ready to support the front line at any time.
As the saying goes, both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong.
Since the large-scale rebellion of the Qiang people.
The situation in Liangzhou also came under pressure in an instant.
And just when Zhang Ji was actively dealing with the changes.
We met not long ago.
Prime Minister Cao Cao, who was stationing troops in Wudu County, had also received news of the changes in Longxi County.
He seemed to have expected this!
Therefore, when he heard this military news, Cao Cao didn't have any trouble on his face. He just sighed slightly and said: "I didn't expect that Ma Chao, a thief, actually went to Liangzhou to stir up trouble."
As soon as this was said.
Cao Cao's face gradually became serious, and there seemed to be anger hidden in his eyes, and his fists clenched tightly unconsciously.
He was not afraid of the Qiang people rebelling again.
After all, when the Qiang people rebelled, he had the opportunity to take this opportunity to send out large-scale troops to wipe out the living forces of the Qiang people in various tribes.
But what made him angry was that the Qiang people would respond to Ma Chao at this critical moment.
At this time, war broke out in Liangzhou.
He must not be able to devote himself wholeheartedly to the war against Hanzhong.
This move can be said to have greatly delayed his large-scale invasion of Hanzhong.
When he thought about this, a stern look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He had already made a decision in his mind.
After he pacified Hanzhong.
Liu Bei from Bashu and Qiang people from all tribes in Liangzhou will all be plowed up and swept out of their caves, and all of them will be slaughtered!
Wait for the military news to come.
Since he had guessed it beforehand, he had already deployed reinforcements in advance.
Guo Huai was ordered to lead his troops to Longxi County to assist Fei Yao and Dai Ling to resist the Qiang tribes.
He also ordered Xiahou Yuan to pay attention to the war situation in Longxi at all times.
Prevent the situation from getting out of hand!
Even though various tribes of Qiang people rebelled, they swept across Liangzhou.
