Chapter 540: Shi Qian's reaction


"Liu Yan's dog thief" Shi Xuan's bearded face was full of grievance and anger: "It's too much to deceive people" The snow and ice in the central part of the state have not yet begun to melt, and even a light snow has fallen in recent days, so it stands to reason that winter has not yet passed, and the countries will not carry out any military operations.

However, if one turns over the Han state established by Liu Yan, it seems that the army's actions never look at seasonality, but only whether there is a need Shi Xuan stayed in Jinyang, and the importance of Jinyang was highlighted after Shi Hu decided to withdraw to Saibei, it was the avant-garde city of Dingxiang, the new capital of Shiqi Zhao State, and the city wall was thickened and thickened several times, and the population also increased because of the entry of various Hu species.

The ice and snow had not yet begun to melt, but the Han State did not plan to wait for the winter to pass before resuming the war, and Li Su reported to Shi Xuan that the number of Han troops on the side of Jingling had been increasing, and the Han army in Jicheng had begun to attack Yangyi again.

The Han army's attack on Yangyi felt normal for Shi Xuan, and after the confrontation between the two sides, even in the icy winter, they would often clash with each other, but this time the Han army under the city of Yangyi was slightly larger than before.

The most important information reported by Li Su to Shi Xuan was that the Zhao army of Shi Xuan had a scout cavalry that found traces of a large march on the north bank of Jiuze, but the scout cavalry searched for a long time but did not find the Han army.

He was an old soldier, and guessed that the Han army took advantage of the fact that the ice on the surface of Jiuze Lake had not melted and went to the northwest of Bingzhou.

Yangyi has not yet been lost, Jinyang is heavily guarded, and Zhongyang also has Fu Hong leading the army to wait for it, Shi Xuan's reason for being aggrieved and angry is very simple, the war has not yet started, but the Han army has made a move to prevent them from escaping.

"Whether it is to attack from the flank, or to prevent us from retreating, they are too blind" Shi Xuan inherited Shi Hu's personality genes, not to mention his temper and irritability, brutality seems to be instinctive, and the brain circuit is basically peculiar, the last moment he was still discussing military affairs, and the next moment he said: "Slaughter the two Han girls, steam and eat" In fact, in the past, Shi Qian called the Han woman two-legged sheep, and waited for the repeated defeats in the confrontation with the Han army to no longer call the two-legged sheep, which was to call the Han family girl directly and more vindictively.

Shi Hu led the people to retreat north, in addition to bringing away a large number of Hu Lu of various ethnic groups, the Jin people also brought a lot, the Jin men were used as slaves or labor or abuse, and the Jin women were raped and slaughtered and eaten.

It's the Jin people, that is, some Han Miao descendants who have never been in the Han Kingdom.

But now no one calls the Jin people anything, the Han side is to improve the pride of the Han people, and the Hu Lu side is to retaliate against the Han State and began to call those Jin people Han people again.

"Before the ice and snow melted, the Han army would start a war," Li Su said worriedly: "It can be seen that after the weather warms up, the scale of the Han army going north will be very large." ” The Zhao Kingdom did not intend to defend city after city, and paid more attention to the preservation of living forces than to defend the city.

Shi Hu has publicly stated that he should not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and should give full play to the advantages of Hulu's cavalry, and fight the Han army in the wilderness like the former Xiongnu, clamoring for another Hundred Years War.

To put it bluntly, Hu Lu has learned smartly, and he knows that he is not good at attacking and defending the city, so he wants to find back Hu Lu's old business, and if he can beat it, he will fight it, and if he can't beat it, he will just pat the horse's ass and escape.

After Hu Lu changed his combat strategy, the Han army and Hu Lu no longer had a large number of gains in the confrontation, and they no longer annihilated tens of thousands of Hu Lu at every turn as before.

Every time, Hu Lu saw that the opportunity was wrong and withdrew, and both sides fought with cavalry, relatively speaking, Hu Lu's light cavalry was faster, and the Han army's gains were naturally limited.

Shi Xuan asked Li Su: "What good opinion does the general have?"

There is not only one general in Shiqi Zhao Kingdom, there are many generals with various prefixes to an astonishing extent, Li Su is a general who has added a champion, and the full title of his official position is the champion general.

There is one person who has been a champion general in Shiqi Zhao Kingdom, Fu Hong.

Li Su seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, and said directly: "Your Majesty doesn't care about the gains and losses of the city, and we have always suffered losses in the offensive and defensive battles with the Han army, so it is better to transfer as soon as possible." ” Shi Xuan didn't hesitate, and said, "Then report to my father." ” "Your Majesty will certainly agree."

After Li Su finished speaking, he suggested: "The prince can first order to prepare for evacuation. ” To put it bluntly, the side of Shiqi Zhao is not completely stupid, the Han State hopes that the Shiqi Zhao army will defend the city, in order to eliminate the living force of the Shiqi Zhao army The core strategy of the Shiqi Zhao State is to fight with the Han army for a long time in the vast grassland, and they feel that not caring about the gains and losses of the city is an effective strategy.

"Since you want to retreat, through the Han army that went north through Jiuze, the traces must be found."

Shi Xuan said viciously: "They knew that we would withdraw, but they couldn't guess that we would withdraw immediately without worry, find the Han army that went north, and seize the opportunity to eat it."

"In this way, Yangyi needs to change its defenses, with Zahu and slave soldiers as the main force, and how long can it last."

Li Su thought for a while, and took a step closer to suggest: "On the side of the general of the chariot cavalry, the prince should order them to make a feint to go south to fight." ” The general of the chariot and cavalry that Li Su said is Fu Hong, and Fu Hong is currently under Shi Xuan's command system.

"Although that old fox is under the command of Lonely, he has always relied on the old and sold the old and did not listen to the command."

Shi Xuan didn't like Fu Hong, not only because Fu Hong openly rebelled last time, but also because Fu Hong's strength at hand was too strong: "That old guy even dares to disobey his father's orders." ” "It's just a feint, and the general won't refuse."

Seeing that Shi Xuan was still talking nonsense, Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "If Fu Hong doesn't even make a feint, I'm afraid that the prince will not only be unable to destroy the Han army that went north, but he should try his best to avoid it." ” Shi Xuan no longer dwelled on whether Fu Hong obeyed his orders, and it happened that the steamed food that slaughtered the daughter of the Han family was also sent up, and the invitation to Li Su for a delicious meal was refused.

Cannibalism, even if it's the Qiang people, not everyone likes to eat, Li Su actually thinks that eating people is disgusting, and sometimes he is forced to eat by Shi Hu's family, and it can even be said that the Qiang people's preference for eating people is also the reason why they are good at eating people.

The supreme commander of Shixuan on the side of Bingzhou is the crown prince Shi Xuan, but the people who really do it are actually Li Su and Fu Hong.

Li Su is in charge of the east of the state, and Fu Hong is in charge of the west of the state.

It was about two days later that Fu Hong received Shi Xuan's order.

"Although that kid asked us to go south was a feint, he didn't tell us that the Han army had gone north."

Fu Hou's face was slightly hideous: "What kind of truth is this?"

Not to mention how to go south in the ice and snow, Shi Qi Zhao is now on the defensive in the face of the Han army, and Shi Hu understands that the central part of Bingzhou does not need to be defended.

In this context, no one in the middle of Bingzhou has any intention of fighting with the Han army, if he is bitten by the Han army in the south, it seems that he will really be bitten, and whoever is now entanglement with the Han army is stupid.

Fu An asked, "Could it be that Shi Hu can't wait to weaken us again?"

Fu Hong just watched the two younger brothers vent one after the other.

In the eyes of many people, Shi Hu Zhao's evolution from a dignified Central Plains hegemonic world power to what it is today is completely Shi Hu's own doing.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with their opinions, it was Shi Hu who misjudged Liu Yan, and then it was too obvious that he wanted to weaken the Qiang and Di tribes, the two largest thug races of the Qiang people, in exchange for the decay of the Shi Zhao State.

In all fairness, it is not only Shi Hu's misjudgment of Liu Yan's rise, it should be that except for Liu Yan himself, there is a situation that he did not expect to be like this, so it cannot be said that Shi Hu is stupid, but Liu Yan's rise is too unreasonable.

Shi Hu wants to weaken the Qiang and Di people, because the number of the two tribes is too amazing, and at the same time, the prestige of Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong is really too high, in order to keep the hegemony of the Qi people unshaken, it is not wrong to weaken the Qiang and Di people themselves.

After Yao Yizhong was captured by the Han army, the Qiang people had fallen into a divided situation, and Shi Xuan's goal of eliminating the potential threat of the Qiang people was achieved, and it could be said that it would be perfect without the rise of the Han state.

The leader of the Di tribe, Fu Hong, was lucky, although they were defeated in the battle with the Han army, but the elite losses on Fu Hong's hand were not too serious, and the leader was alive and well, so that the Di people could at least be united, but in this way, the Di people could see Shi Hu and the Qi tribe thoroughly, and although Fu Hong took refuge in Shi Hu again, the rift between the two sides could not be repaired.

"Big brother, if you want me to say, retreat directly to the basin under the plateau."

Fu Hou was actually opposed to being under Shi Qian's banner again, but Fu Hong's attitude was resolute.

He said: "Shi Hu asked us to go to Bingzhou, it must be with the purpose of consuming us, we have not been trusted, and what is still to be done."

"Wait."

Fu Hong finally spoke: "We need enough craftsmen, and more books and so on." ” The Di people are different from the Qian, who rule the Central Plains but do not care about Han culture and technology, while the Di people, who are in the semi-Han stage, understand what culture and technology mean.

Although Fu Hong is a member of the Di ethnic group, he is actually very familiar with Han culture.

This time he will take refuge in Shi Hu again, not because of how loyal he is to Shi Hu, otherwise he would not have turned his back on Shi Hu last time and turned to Guanzhong, because he wanted to lean on Shi Hu again to suck blood, get rid of the craftsmen that Shi Hu didn't care about and collect more books.

Because Shi Qian didn't care, Fu Hong did not make much cover up after leading the army into Bingzhou, but wantonly plundered the population in a series of raids, especially looking for various craftsmen, and tried his best to collect books everywhere he went, and the people and resources obtained were sent to the north.

As strong as the former de facto rulers of the Central Plains, the Qi people were all shy away from the rise of the Han State, and Fu Hong did not feel that he could confront the Han State with the Di people.

Fu Hong thinks more thoroughly than Shi Hu, and he definitely reads much more history books than Shi Hu.

If we look through the historical texts, we can find that when the local forces of the Central Plains rose and showed signs of prosperity, some ethnic groups that were not "Chinese" reached the time of lying down, that is, being abused by the local dynasty of the Central Plains.

No matter how you look at it, Han is a strong country, when it is weak, it still dares to be the enemy of the world, and even has not experienced a big defeat, Fu Hong feels that the rise of Han is unstoppable, and it is purely stupid to stay around Han again, and he has already thought about making a big profit and should go away, and even think about where to go.

The place where Fu Hong wants to go is in the basin under the plateau, which has always been the habitat of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people are currently divided into the current situation, and the Di people and the Qiang people have always had a relationship, and he thinks that he can take advantage of the convenience of the origin to become the commander of the Qiang, which is equivalent to being able to easily gain a foothold in the basin.

The basin under the plateau is a good place, and in addition to the Qiang and a small number of Di people, another large ethnic group is the Tuyuhun.

And the Tuyuhun clan is actually clearly divided into dozens of tribes, and after a few hundred years of annexation, there will be six left, that is, the next six edicts, and the establishment of the Nanzhao country.

Since he wanted to get a vote and leave, it was impossible for Fu Hong to fight with the Han army, not only disobeying Shi Xuan's orders many times, but even disobeying Shi Hu's will.

What he is thinking about now is that the Han army's actions are earlier than expected, and it seems that the movements are also greater than imagined, whether the Di people should leave the Qi people again and run away by themselves.

"Reply to the prince" Fu Hong paused deliberately, and then said with a smile: "Just say that I will follow the order and go south." ” Fu Hou and Fu An immediately asked in unison with surprise: "Big brother won't really want to go south, right?"

"It's not going south," Fu Hong said calmly, "Get ready, let's retreat to the north first, and after meeting with the tribes, we will go to the basin." ” This time, not only Fu Hou and Fu An were excited, but even Fu Hong's sons also laughed cheerfully.

"Shi Xuan wants to use us to drag the Han army to run by himself, so let's pretend to obey the order, and in turn let him help us drag the Han army."

Fu Jian had only fought with the Han army three times in Guanzhong, but he was very impressed by the Han army: "It is best for Shi Xuan to die in the hands of the Han army, and let Shi Hu go south to fight the Han army." ” Fu Hong, who knew the actual relationship between Shi Hu and Shi Xuan, just smiled and didn't speak, Shi Hu was as cruel and ruthless as father and son, and there was no father-son relationship at all.

Fu Hong felt that if Shi Xuan died in the hands of the Han army, Shi Hu would be angry at most, and it would be better to go south to take revenge or something.

Li Tan, who was in Jingling, had been dispatching troops, and he knew that the enemy would also react, but the information was repeatedly gathered and Shi Xuan and Fu Hong had big movements.

"Shi Xuan has been increasing troops to Yangyi, and the enemy army in Yangyi has reached 70,000 at present."

Tiao You was confused, and asked with uncertainty: "Qianlang will go north should be discovered, and Shi Xuancai will increase his troops to Yangyi."

Li Tan didn't expect Qian Jiantong's movements to go north to be kept secret, but being detected and being found are two different things.

Shi Liang found that there was already a Han army going north, and he would definitely be afraid before he found the Han army that went north, and what the Shogunate wanted was that Shi Qi felt jealous.

"Keep an eye on Donggong Gaoli, where they are, Shi Xuan will be there."

Li Tan said about Zhongyang again: "Fu Hong made too much noise, but he had to guard against it. ” The Han army's information about Zhongyang is that Fu Hong constantly sent scouts to the south, a bit of a desire to march south, but he didn't expect Fu Hong to lead people to run away:
