Shu Chen

Chapter 360
For Dahan, the 13 years of Jianxing (236 AD) was kicked off by a military newspaper.

The vassal state of Juyan, which hangs alone about eight hundred (Han) miles north of the Hexi Corridor, officially ushered in the siege of the left part of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.

This is what everyone expected.

It would be strange if the isolated city of Beixuan was not attacked or besieged!

Ma Dai, who was stationed in Huishui County, Jiuquan County, only said "Got it" lightly after learning the news, and asked the general to transfer his feelings to Wei Yanhou, but he was still busy with other things, and had no intention of going to the rescue.

And Wei Yande's reaction to telling the time was similar.

With a dispirited expression on his face, he nodded and made a nasal response, then waved his hand to let the messenger go down.

Seeing this, Fei Yi who was present couldn't help jokingly said, "A few days ago, the general was a prime minister, claiming that there was nothing wrong with Hexi and wanted to return to the governor of Longyou. Now that Juyan belongs to the country, there is an enemy. Why don't the general work hard to defend against the evil?"

"Heh, Wen Wei don't joke with me."

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Yan squeezed out a smile, and his tone was a bit contemptuous, "It's just a few Hu captives who came to invade. With the [-] soldiers of Juyan's vassal state, what trouble do I have? They like to sleep in the snow and sleep in the city. Let them do what they want, our soldiers will take shelter in the city and see who can last longer!"

Indeed, among the many generals in Hexi of the Han Dynasty, none of them worried about the safety of the Juyan vassal state.

There are three reasons.

First, the combat readiness over there is very perfect.

After the scouts spied on Dao Ni Wei Cao Rui and sealed King Xiutu and King Hunxie, the prime minister ordered Fei Yi, Ma Dai and others who were in charge at that time to transfer the grain, fodder and military supplies to the past.Even if the right part of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba part of the Xianbei were trapped in the city for a year, there would be no worries about running out of food in the city.

Secondly, nomadic tribes have never been good at attacking fortifications.

Not only is it because of their long-term riding that leads to their weak infantry combat effectiveness, but also because their siege equipment is simple and their armor is thin, and they will pay huge casualties for attacking fortifications.Even if they now have the assistance of Niwei, it cannot make up for the difference in the superior ordnance used by the Han army.

After all, they migrated from Mingsha Mountain.

To cross thousands of miles of deserts and Gobi barren valleys, how can we bring huge siege equipment?

At most, Wei Guohui and them accompanied some craftsmen to build it temporarily.But in the Juyanze area, there are few trees, and it is difficult to find tall trees, so why not be afraid of the siege equipment built!
Finally, it is the difference in the quality of soldiers.

In the former Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "one Han should be the five Hus". There were strict military laws, martial arts all the year round, and the Han soldiers who fought in the army formation and the Hu people who were all young and strong.

Although the cultures of the Han and Hu have collided and merged with each other for hundreds of years, and the Hu people have learned a little bit of the Han family, but now "one Han is three Hu" is still very pertinent.

Taking a step back, the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei Tuoba tribe would not be willing to sacrifice their tribal tribes for the rebellion against the Wei Dynasty.

There are many reasons combined, and there are three thousand soldiers guarding the city, so why worry about the generals in the Han River West!

In other words, they are still looking forward to the siege of the Southern Huns and Xianbei!
There is already a Jingguan outside the city of Xuanwei, which is close to Xiutuze. Building another one on the edge of Juyanze to promote Hanwei will be very beneficial for future border defense.

And Wei Yan wrote the book and asked to go back to Longyou, because he, the governor of Liangzhou, was bored after he came to Hexi.

Needless to say about political affairs.

For Fei Yi, matters such as reassuring the people, garrisoning the land, and distributing government orders are so easy for Fei Yi that it is impossible to find a place to comment.

At least Wei Yan thought he couldn't do better than him.

As for military affairs and other matters, Jiuquan has Liao Hua, Wuwei and Jiang Wei, and people such as Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Zhoutai, and You Chu are all guarding counties and counties.
In the past, when he was stationed in Hanzhong or Longyou, when he had nothing to do, he could still supervise the soldiers to perform martial arts!After coming to Hexi, I just sat around and watched the sun rise and set, wasting time in vain.

Ugh.
Wei Yan, who felt something in his heart, sighed quietly.

Immediately, as if thinking about something, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wen Wei just said that he suggested that I write a book and go to the other office of the prime minister's office in Ji County, claiming that Juyan's vassal state is safe and sound?"

Hearing this, Fei Yi clapped his palms and smiled, "Ha, it would be even better if the general didn't shy away from trivial matters."

But Wei Yan didn't respond, and kept looking sideways at him.

"Cough, cough!"

It also made Fei Yi cough a few times, and said in a soft voice with some helplessness, "General, Li Yiqing and Fu Gongyuan are both loyal and good men of mine, and they have always been favored by the prime minister. Now they are stationed in the country of Juyan. I can't wait to help him, so I should write a letter to Ji County to clarify the whole story, so as to avoid some officials who don't know what's going on in private gossiping."

"Who dares to challenge me to dispatch!"

As soon as Fei Yi's words fell, Wei Yan immediately expressed his attitude, "The prime minister ordered me to take charge of the Hexi war, whether to help or not, I have my own ideas, and Wen Wei cares about those ignorant people doing nothing!"

Uh.
Fei Yi was speechless for a moment.

However, after all, he has worked with Wei Yan for a long time, and he has long been familiar with his unruly nature.

After thinking for a while, he said along the way, "Based on the general's general strategy, there is no need to pay attention to those ignorant people. However, the general may not know something. I received a letter from my family a few days ago. In the letter, the dog mentioned One incident, claiming that after the emperor heard that Fu Gongyuan had gone to Juyan to belong to the country, he asked his attendants many times about the scenery of the Hexi Corridor."

This time, it was Wei Yan who was dumbfounded.

Fu Qian grew up in the palace and was much younger than the emperor, so the emperor always regarded him as his son and nephew.Everyone in the Han Dynasty knows about this, even Wei Yan who has little chance to return to Chengdu has heard of it.

But he never took it to heart.

Now being mentioned by Fei Yi, he suddenly remembered, and felt that his previous decision to allow Fu Qian to go to Juyan was a bit hasty.

It is also!

Fu Qian invited himself to Gucheng.

After he was sent to Hexi by the prime minister, he came to look for Wei Yan, claiming that both the prime minister and Zheng Pu wanted him to practice in the army, and Li Qiu, the garrison school lieutenant in the country of Yan, was his acquaintance with the chief, so he begged Wei Yan let him go.

Although Wei Yan has an unruly temperament, he admires Zhonglie Empress very much.

Not to mention that he and Fu Qian still have hometown friendship. For example, when Fu Qian joined Zheng Pu's army for the first time, he sent his eldest son Wei Rong to accompany him.Therefore, at that time, he admired Fu Qian for living up to his father's ambition to serve the country, and felt that there were such younger generations in Xiangzi who should follow his wish, so he agreed without thinking about anything else.

Who would have expected that the dispatch of a small school would actually worry the emperor?
What made him even more embarrassing was that his eldest son and Fei Yi's son are generally the emperor's servants today, but Wei Rong did not write a letter to inform him of this!
It was silent for a while.

Wei Yan waved his hand resentfully, "In that case, Wen Wei will do it for you. Well, don't forget to add that Juyan's vassal state is impenetrable, and guards such as Fu Gongyuan may not even have a chance to join the battle."

However, is Juyan's vassal state really what he thinks it is?
　Happy Spring Festival everyone!
