The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1078
After the war in Fengyi County ended, the Hexi Xianbei army got the relevant news, and they didn't want to continue fighting with the Shu Han army, so they quickly retreated across the Yellow River and entered their own residence.

The defeat of Wei Yan's army in Fengyi County reminded Liu Chan once again that there is never room for complacency when it comes to dealing with Cao Wei's army.

Moreover, this incident also reflects from another aspect that the combat effectiveness of Cao Wei's army can indeed be stronger than that of the Shu Han army. This should be an indisputable fact.

At the same time, the harassment of the border of the Shu-Han by foreign troops was not a big problem at first, but although the bald Shoutian sent troops to intervene in the war between Shu and Wei, this problem became acute.

Wei Yan, Fei Yi, Lu Xun and even Ma Dai and Huang Quan all expressed great anger over this incident.

After all, the reason why Wei Yan did not get the support of Ma Dai's army in time this time, at least the cavalry in it, was largely because Ma Dai had to use the cavalry to fight against the bald Shoutian Xianbei cavalry!
Therefore, these important officials of the Shu Han in the frontier all pleaded with the Da Sima Mansion and Emperor Liu Chan in an almost tacit gesture, demanding that the Hexi Xianbei must be severely punished, especially their leader Shoutian with bald hair.Otherwise, once the Cao Wei army repeats its old tricks in the future, the Xianbei cavalry with bald hair and Shoutian will make a comeback again. This will never end, and the Yongliang border will inevitably be restless.

Soon, two other people also joined in this petition: Yijianda and Zhiyuanduo.

Since Yijianda's father, Yijian's concubine, was killed by Zhang Ji, the tribe couldn't stay in the hinterland of Yongliang, and they crossed the Yellow River and entered Hetao to make a living.Their life in Hetao was very unsatisfactory, and they were often harassed and attacked by Hexi Xianbei.

Therefore, when Yijianda saw that the generals of the Shu Han army were so united in their hatred, he immediately joined Zhi Yuanduo and wrote to Liu Chan asking him to send troops to defeat Hexi Xianbei.

Liu Chan has always been concerned about the situation in the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area.

The Hetao area was later known as the top of the south of the Yangtze River, with fertile plains and good irrigation conditions.Moreover, it is also close to the Great Wall, which is also very suitable for grazing. In all dynasties, it has been an area where the Han and the nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall have constantly competed with each other.

Liu Chan had long intended to bring it back into the Shu Han's pocket, and then let Yijianda and Zhiyuanduo's tribes, as well as some Han people on the northern border, move there together.Through the way of living together, the Han people gradually adapted to the riding and shooting life of the Qianghu people, and learned the horse herding skills of the Qianghu people, so that there were also groups of Han people who could live a nomadic life, and eventually if they could form a group like the Russians Kazakhs, that is actually a very good thing.

Therefore, Liu Chan saw that everyone's morale was available now, and in addition to the large amount of supplies that had just been sent to the battlefield in Fengyi County, there were still a lot left, which could just be used for the battle against Hexi Xianbei.

However, there are still many inconvenient factors that need to be dealt with in the actual situation.

Therefore, Liu Chan first summoned Da Sima Donghe and Shangshu Taibing Cao Shangshu Zhugejin, two heavyweights closely related to the military, and asked them how to gather an army in the north of Yongliang and Liangzhou in a short period of time. Possibility, and how many troops the Shu Han army can mobilize this time to participate in the battle against Hexi Xianbei.

Da Sima Dong He had known in advance Liu Chan's intention to summon him. After all, Da Sima's mansion had also received the war invitation documents from the generals in Yongliang and Liangzhou.Therefore, Dong He actually came prepared.

The Shangshutai was originally the emperor's information agency, and almost all the forms and seals to be submitted to the emperor for review were submitted to the Shangshutai to draft opinions first, so that the emperor could decide whether to adopt them.

Therefore, of course, Zhuge Jin, the soldier Cao Shangshu, also knew Liu Chan's intention to summon him.These two people can be said to have come prepared.

Dong He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be a big problem to mobilize the army. Moreover, even the cavalry of Gai Meng and Xiong Ping are still in Yongzhou. If Your Majesty wants to use troops against Hexi Xianbei, then It is necessary to use a large number of cavalry, if it is like Emperor Gaozu sent troops to the Xiongnu, the possibility of failure is too great."

Zhuge Jin said: "Nowadays, a large number of my cavalry are concentrated in Yongzhou and Liangzhou. In Liangzhou, there is the cavalry directly under General Ma Dai, and Li Shengyuan's cavalry under his command. In Yongzhou, there is Yijianda The Qiang and Hu cavalry of three people, Zhi Yuanduo, and Gao Shili, and even the large cavalry of General Gai Meng are in Yongzhou. If these troops are assembled, there will be at least 5000 people, which is enough to launch a war against Hexi Xianbei. It's time to fight."

Dong He heard Zhuge Jin's words and nodded his head.

But Liu Chan was not as relaxed as Zhuge Jin thought, and said: "You two loves, I also know that the number of cavalry is enough. But you don't see the problem. Li Shengyuan, Yijianda, The cavalry of Zhiyuanduo, Gao Shili, and Xi Feixue, who agrees with Gao Shili, and others, combined with Ma Dai, who incorporated Cao Weiyuan’s Yongliang cavalry, and the expanded Gai Meng’s cavalry The number of people is basically equal.”

Dong He said: "That's true. It is precisely because of this reason that His Majesty can disperse the Qianghu cavalry to station in various places, so as not to cause troubles if they get together."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, the grievances between Li Shengyuan, Gao Shili, Yijianda, and Zhiyuanduo have existed for many years. I am afraid that it is unlikely that they will reach an understanding with each other in the future. This kind of thing If we outsiders want to interfere, we can't interfere. If we forcibly intervene in the grievances between them, even if we use strong means to suppress them, they will still be convinced and resentful towards the court, so that they think we are taking sides. My big man goes out to fight with such a combined army. How do we coordinate among the various armies? I think our army will be in trouble before it reaches the Yellow River. gone."

Dong He was taken aback when he heard this, and asked: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter? Don't you send troops? But the soldiers in front have a very strong desire to petition to send troops!"

Zhuge Jin said: "Yes, if we don't send troops to Hexi Xianbei this time, I'm afraid our army's morale will be frustrated again, and it will inevitably make Hexi Xianbei's arrogance even more arrogant."

Liu Chan thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then send troops. You can order Li Shengyuan and Gao Shili's cavalry to enter Fengyi County and join Lu Xun's command."

Zhuge Jin asked: "What is the reason for the order, Your Majesty?"

Liu Chan said: "Let's say that Lu Xun's Fengyi County needs cavalry to defend, so as to prevent our army from facing the threat of Cao Wei's Bingzhou cavalry again."

Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "Your Majesty's reason is very sufficient."

Liu Chan went on to say: "This order needs to be issued some days in advance. Then, Gai Meng, Yijian Da and Zhi Yuanduo were ordered to lead their respective cavalry teams into the northern part of Yongzhou to stand by. At the same time, Ma Dai was ordered to lead the cavalry directly under The [-] infantry under the command of the two barrels arrived at the Yellow River to join the troops from Yongzhou."

Dong He said: "The army should be led by General Ma Dai?"

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Yes. But do we need to assign Ma Dai a military adviser or join the army?"

Zhuge Jin said: "It should not be necessary. The generals who went out this time have experienced many battles, and each of them has capable assistant officials. But if it is really necessary, you can recruit General Mengxi or General Deng Ai nearby. He is competent. But General Deng Ai is stationed in Tongguan and it is not easy to leave. General Meng Xi has been serving as General Lu Xun's army, and he is very skilled in business and can be transferred at any time."

The personnel arrangement has been agreed upon, and Liu Chan slapped his hands on the table excitedly, and said, "Okay, the Da Sima Mansion will issue a call-up order to Meng Xi. Then the next step is the issue of military expenditure. If we don't beat Hexi Xianbei this time, I will What is the face of the big man!"
