The thousandth and thirty-sixth day of the decisive battle (3)(1/2)
Considering his identity, in order to avoid causing conflicts at such critical moments, Zhang Yue had to try his best to choose the wording as carefully as possible.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "My question is: I heard that in order to lure the enemy, I personally general the main force of the central army and guard the order to prepare for the attack of Qiang and Hu... So, will there be a situation where the Luntai side... have no leader and each dominates itself?"
When Prime Minister Liu Qumao heard this question, he immediately laughed and replied softly: "General Ying Yang is too worried! General Ershi has commanded the army for more than ten years and has long known the pros and cons of it. Therefore, he only led the light cavalry and stationed in Juyan, and left the main force of the central army east of Juyan and west of Jiuquan on standby..."
"In addition, the Gaoque Army, Wuyuan Army, Shuofang Army, Longyou Army and other reinforcements who were ordered to rush to help Hexi will also be on standby in Zhangye and can rush to the front line at any time!"
"Now..." Speaking of this, Liu Qumao raised his head proudly and felt proud: "Our dynasty has gathered at least 50,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, militia and Yisong in the Hexi region, and tens of thousands of them!"
"Whether it is the invading Qianghu or the Xiongnu, as long as they dare to approach the border wall, they will be hit by the royal army!"
After Liu Qumao finished speaking, he raised his head proudly and looked at Zhang Yue.
The other generals and nobles present were also full of confidence and did not think there was any problem with this deployment?
They can indeed be so confident!
Because, the facts of the past decades have shown that no matter who it is, taking advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness and attacking coldly, they may be able to gain some advantage.
However, after the Han army was fully prepared and assembled heavy troops, no one could make good use of the elite troops of the Han King's Army!
Since the Yuan Ding, the Han army has not lost any battle of more than a thousand people within 500 miles of the border wall!
No matter what kind of enemy is, in front of the Han army, it is as vulnerable as a clay sculpture!
Zhang Yue listened to Liu Qumao's words and looked at everyone. He knew that he would definitely not have any good results when he was entangled in this issue.
Moreover, even if you win, it will be useless! It will only attract evil and hate!
Besides, Zhang Yue just felt uneasy and had no actual evidence or data support.
Therefore, he could only pray for Li Guangli's good luck, and silently smiled at Liu Qumao and stopped talking.
However, the emperor looked at Zhang Yue thoughtfully, suddenly pursed his lips, then turned his head and whispered to Zhang Anshi who had been standing beside him: "After the meeting, let General Yingyang stay alone!"
"No!" Zhang Anshi was stunned at first, and then nodded immediately.
……………………………………………………
The more and more Qiang people gathered in the wilderness.
The wealthy chiefs of all the Qiang races also arrived here.
They climbed up the hill and looked at the Han Dynasty border wall that stretched from Lingjusai.
Everyone had red eyes and swallowed their saliva desperately.
For the Qiang people, behind the wall was their entire hope.
Warm mountains, gurgling rivers, and corn everywhere and livestock on the plateau.
Especially the latter!
"The descendants of Wuge Yuanjian!" Under Feng Yangqiang's big banner, a man with a braided hair, a ferocious face, a huge copper ring on his nose, and a bronze weapon, rode on his horse and shouted loudly: "The great god of tigers will look at us!"
So he tore the sheepskin coat on his body and exposed the tiger-head tattoo on his chest.
This immediately caused countless yells of Wu Ge (the lower class of Qiang people, usually the synonym of slaves): "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
"The Great Son of the Tiger!"
The roaring shouts from thousands or even tens of thousands of people immediately stirred up the storm and attracted countless attention.
In particular, Xianling Qiang, who has deep hatred and blood hatred with Feng Yangqiang, was hostile to Qiang.
"These cats, the cheap Wu Ge, howl?" Sheyang, one of the wealthy giants of Xianling Qiang, cursed and held the knife in his hand, and was furious: "The fire will burn these cheap Wu Ge to death!"
The Yang Qiang and Xianling Qiang were enfeoffed and made enemies for hundreds of years.
They have a deep hatred for each other.
Sheyang’s father and grandfather both died in the war with Fengyang Qiang!
He himself was even abused by Feng Yangqiang as a sacrificial sword for several years until his uncle led his army to rescue him from Feng Yangqiang's sacrificial village.
During the years when Fengyang Qiang was a soldier, the sheep was cut off its nose and cut its cheeks.
Make him extremely ugly!
But it was this abuse that made him become extremely tyrannical when he grew up.
The Qiang people are different from the Huns.
It is not only because of the differences in social models, lifestyles, customs, and social systems and class compositions.
The Qiang people, except for the legendary ancestor Wu Ge Yuanjian, blessed by the god of tigers and the god of flames, no one has been able to unify all Qiang tribes.
Even within the various internal situations, there has never been a unity or unity.
There are several or more than a dozen wealthy chiefs within each Qiang species.
The fight between them is endless, and the sky is dark.
The only way to unite them is the invasion of foreign enemies, especially other Qiang species.
Or like now, multiple Qiang races resolved their hatred and jointly launched a large-scale waaal to the outside world.
But even if it is to resolve the revenge into an alliance.
In between, there may not be any real drop in the hatred of the past.
Especially at this moment, the cheers and celebrations of the Wuge who Fengyang Qiang aroused the strong anger of almost all the wealthy chiefs who had just turned into the Qiang!
Not only sheep, almost all the wealthy chiefs who were in the Qiang Dynasty were like flammable and explosive volcanoes at this moment. It may only take a little stimulation and they will lead their army to tear their mortal enemies apart!
no way!
Heresy is always more hateful than pagans!
Xianling Qiang and Fengyang Qiang were the major species among the Qiang people.
The hatred begins with religion, but is higher than religion!
Xianling Qiang believed in the fire god who protected his ancestor Wu Ge Yuanjian, and believed that only those who burned but did not die were the true heirs of Wu Ge Yuanjian.
It is different to the Fengyang Qiang. They believe in the legend of protecting Wu Ge Yuanjian, escaping the pursuers, and escorting them to the Huangshui tigers.
The first thing every wealthy chief who sealed Qiang wants to take office is to go to the deep mountains, hunt a tiger alone, and skin it back to be recognized!
The difference in faith has led to the death struggle and hatred that has lasted for hundreds of years!
The bleeding between the two populations is no longer estimated.
Fortunately, nowadays, it is not just Feng Yang Qiang and Xianling Qiang here.
There is also a maoist sister Qiang who doesn’t believe in the tiger or the fire.
What Laojie Qiang believes in is Wu Ge Yuanjian's wife, the girl who followed her to Huangzhong.
This is related to the social structure of Laojie Qiang. They are still matriarchal society, with women as the most respected, and all wealthy chiefs are women.
In the past history, Feng Yang Qiang, Xian Ling Qiang, Lao Jie Qiang, fought against each other and balanced each other.
The most peaceful time they are when the three are present at the same time.
It was because of the concerns about the people and horses of Lao Jie Qiang that Sheep barely suppressed her anger.
At this time, a person of his close friend Wu Ge walked up to him, knelt down and said, "Sheyang Yuanjian, Yuezhi's Jisi Yuanjian is here!"
"Jisi? What is he here to do?" Sheyang thought for a while and said, "Let him come!"
After a moment, a man wearing a sheepskin coat and a traditional felt hat from the Yuezhi people came to Sheyang, and gently stroked his chest with the etiquette of the Yuezhi people: "I have seen Yuan Jian!"
Sheyang hummed twice in anger, and had no good attitude towards this Yuezhi person.
The latter doesn't mind either.
Instead, he sat in front of She Sheep without hesitation, picked up the goat's milk wine placed on the table and started drinking it.
The Qiang people and the Yuezhi people fell in love and killed each other for more than 20 years in Hehuang.
Naturally, some fusion or even fusion will inevitably occur.
However, in the past, these things were overshadowed by the powerful Han Dynasty civilization and attraction.
Until now, the things that were once covered up suddenly came out under the instigation of ambitious people!
Because, this opportunity is really rare for the Yuezhi people!
This time, we worked with the Qiang people and the Xiongnu people to jointly plan for the Han Dynasty. It seemed dangerous, but in fact, the nobles of the Yuezhi had a clear idea!
For them, the purpose and goal this time were not the Han Dynasty at all!
But the Qiang people!
Using the power to fight the power, the Han Dynasty weakened the Qiang people, and then took the opportunity to annex this ethnic group with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions.
As for the revenge of the Han Dynasty, they did not take it seriously.
Because, as long as it succeeds, the Hexi of the Han Dynasty will be in chaos, and by that time the Han people may not have time to take care of them.
When the Han Dynasty freed up their hands, they had already completed their careers.
At that time, at most, you will be able to surrender and hand over a few scapegoats and then pay tribute to the Han emperor. The Han people will probably pinch their noses and recognize the existence of Yuezhi.
