"Now the march is there.
"King Qiqi, when you arrive at a place fifty miles away from Liangzhou, a little further on, it will be a slaughter."
Fifty miles Hugh slaughter King Xiqiang was silent for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Let the warriors stop first and rest on the spot." ” "My king, but now is not the time to eat."
King Xiqiang's eyes glanced at the great patriarch, and immediately silenced the latter.
"Yes, my king, I will go."
The great patriarch hurried away, and then hurried back, sweating profusely, in exchange for naturally stopping the army that stretched for several miles.
"My king, the warriors have stopped."
Feeling that the horse tent was no longer shaking, King Xiqiang nodded, and then dismounted and walked to the main tent that had been set up in a few moments.
The big tent of Qianghu is a bit like the yurt of the Mongols, the disassembly and installation speed is extremely fast, of course, the defense is not so strong, it can only play a role in warmth and isolation, and there is a little sound insulation effect.
The throne in the main tent was already prepared, and the king of Xiqiang sat on the throne, and the high priest stood beside the king of Xiqiang.
One represents the royal power, and the other represents the divine power of the immortal heavens.
Unlike the Western Middle Ages, the kingship of the nomads always overshadowed the divine power, perhaps with his cult of the strong, although they believed in immortality, but they revered the visible warriors more, and the king of Xiqiang was obviously the most brave and revered warrior of Qianghu.
Shifting his sitting posture slightly, King Xiqiang coughed twice, looked at the patriarch standing at the bottom and Prince Xiangli and Prince Tuoba, and the words finally came out.
"Okay, you've read the letter from the guest, tell me what you think."
The king of Xiqiang stood on the throne, and the head was lower, whether it was the great patriarch of Qianghu who held great power, or the most courageous prince of Xiangli, or the prince of Tuoba who was known as a poisonous snake, they did not dare to show any disobedience at this time, they bowed their heads to show their obedience to the king of Xiqiang.
"Enlighten my king."
The first to speak was the Great Patriarch, although his body was fat, his movements were definitely not clumsy, and he spoke very fluently.
"I read the letter that the guest gave us, if what he said is true, my king, we must make some other preparations, which means that the three counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan and Dunhuang are a difficult bone to gnaw."
King Xiqiang neither shook his head nor nodded, like a tiger napping, and said softly: "What kind of preparation you said?"
"Since the Han people are difficult to deal with, and we have already obtained a lot of cattle and sheep in the hands of the Xianbei people, it is better to take it slowly, and there is no need to be too aggressive."
The patriarch is in Qianghu, is a group of people who are more pro-Han, the patriarch and the Han people do more business, for the Han people's scientific and technological system is very advocative, the more you understand the Han society, and then think about your own tribe's system and technology, the patriarch will have more admiration for the Han people, and the confidence in his own clan will be missing.
King Xiqiang stared at the great patriarch for a moment, and finally did not express any opinion on the great patriarch's words, but turned his gaze to his two sons.
"Tuoba, Xiangli, what do you think?"
Prince Aizato glanced at Prince Tuoba, but he stepped forward first.
When Prince Tuoba saw Prince Xiangli standing up, he had no choice but to retract his feet and lower his head, so that others could not see what his expression was at this time.
"Father, my son thinks that the words of the Han people cannot be fully believed, who knows if this is a trick of the Han people, but the father knows that the Han people are the most cunning."
When King Xiqiang heard Prince Xiangli say such things, he frowned, and said a little unhappily: "I didn't tell you before, what this guest says now can be believed." ” "But" Prince Xiangli seemed to want to argue further, but at this moment, the high priest standing beside King Xiqiang coughed, and Prince Xiangli immediately lowered his head and said to King Xiqiang, "Yes, Father. ” After seeing that Prince Xiangli was honest, King Xiqiang waved his hand and said, "Then tell me your opinion." ” For this son, King Xiqiang likes and worries about it, and he likes it, and naturally likes Prince Xiangli like the bravest warrior of the grassland.
Even if it is a lion, even if it is a tiger, it is not his opponent, and Prince Aizato takes good care of the warriors, if the tribe has such a lord, it is naturally a blessing for the tribe.
But at some point, the strengths of Prince Esato will also become his shortcomings.
It is natural to be brave and upright, and it is natural to move forward, but not everyone in the world can go straight, such as those conspiracies and tricks, which are twists and turns, and it is obvious that his son does not understand this, in this regard, King Xiqiang is optimistic about his Tuoba prince.
When it comes to intrigue and intrigues, his eldest son is not even as good as his fingernails.
It's a pity that his body is too thin, and it would be nice if he could be more robust.
In the grassland, it is the warriors who are valued, if the great patriarch under your command sees that you are petite and can be knocked down with one punch, how can he have a sense of awe in his heart Conspiracy and intrigue are naturally necessary, but only intrigue and intrigue cannot be recognized by the steppe warriors.
Prince Xiangli took a deep breath, sorted out the words in his mind, and immediately said: "Father, if what the guest said is true, the son thinks that he should press the border with heavy troops, and first strangle all the Han people in the city of Hugh Tu, if the Han people in the city of Hugh Tu are killed, then, aren't the three counties of Liangzhou just meat on the chopping board, let us slaughter them?"
King Xiqiang nodded, but there was no expression on his face.
"How can you strangle everyone in Hugh Tu City, although the Han people are not as good as us in cavalry, but they are first-class in infantry, we are not their opponents."
Prince Xiangli nodded and said, "The Han army is strong, but we are not as good as before, plus we have 150,000 warriors, even if we use human lives, we can pile them to death." ” King Xiqiang nodded, but he didn't ask any more questions, he turned his gaze from Prince Xiangli to Prince Tuoba.
"Tuoba, what do you think?"
Prince Tuoba saluted to King Xiqiang and said respectfully: "Enlighten the father, the son thinks that the father has three ways to go now. ” He stretched out three fingers and came out.
Prince Tuoba is not a loss of heart, King Xiqiang asked him to express his opinion, but he gave King Xiqiang three choices.
For this son, his opinion King Xiqiang is still a little concerned.
"You name it, which three choices."
Prince Tuoba paused for a moment and said, "The first one is that, as the eldest brother said, the army encircled and suppressed Xiu Tu, and wiped out all the Han troops in Xiu Tu City. ” "And what's next?"
"The second is to abandon Hugh and slaughter the city, go straight to Guzang, break through Guzang in ten days, and capture the head representatives of the Luoyang Marquis and the three counties of Liangzhou alive, so that the coalition army will collapse without a fight, and the father can press forward step by step, and eat away at Liangzhou little by little without paying too much price."
Prince Tuoba's strategy obviously made King Xiqiang a little moved, but even so, he still didn't show any emotions.

"What about the third one?"
"This third strategy is to ignore Wuwei County, leaving only a few warriors to paralyze the Han people in Wuwei, and the army will attack Jiuquan Dunhuang."
"Attacking Jiuquan and Dunhuang, but Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County are also guarded."
Prince Tuoba nodded and continued: "That's true, but the people in the three counties of Liangzhou are concentrated in Wuwei, Jiuquan Dunhuang must be weak in defense, persimmons should be selected soft to pinch, and the cattle and sheep lost by the clansmen in the winter have also been made up, and even our Qiang people are still prosperous." ” Listening to Prince Tuoba's three choices, King Xiqiang fell into a long silence.
To be honest, each of the three choices that Prince Tuoba said has its benefits, and each choice has its risks.
The first choice, that is, to outflank Hugh Tu, is the idea of sweeping away the three counties of Liangzhou, as long as all the Han people in the city of Hugh Tu are killed, the three counties of Liangzhou will naturally be a piece of shaved fat.
But the risks of this choice are also obvious.
First of all, you have to pay a great price, and secondly, you may not be able to exterminate all the Han people in Hutu City, and as long as there are tens of thousands of Han people who survive, the three counties of Liangzhou are also difficult to deal with.
And the second choice, Zhitu Guzang, the advantage is obvious, that is, the union of the three counties will be directly dissolved, and you can even use the people in your hands to trade with the Han people, and the Qianghu warriors will naturally have no loss.
But this choice is also risky.
The first point is whether you can capture Xia Guzang in a short time, secondly, whether the big people in Guzang can be controlled, and finally, when they detain all the important people in their hands, whether the Han people will really fall apart.
It's all unknown.
The third option is the most conservative and the most inconsistent with the approach of the Qianghu warriors.
It's a bit like a game of later generations, where you attack the opponent's base, and you choose a place where there is no defensive artillery fire on the opposite side, just steal a little resource and leave, instead of choosing to die.
This is the benefit of the third option, but there are also disadvantages.
That is, although the defense of Jiuquan Dunhuang is weak, it is really hard to say whether you can get everything you want in a short time.
King Xiqiang was not able to choose these choices for a while, so he tilted his head to the side and asked the high priest, "What does the high priest think this king should do?"
The high priest bowed to King Xiqiang, and said in a serious tone: "King Qiqi, I am just a messenger of the Immortal Heaven, just to convey the will of the Immortal Heaven, and I don't understand these war strategies. ” Regarding the high priest's answer, King Xiqiang really couldn't do anything with him.
Among the Qianghu tribe, perhaps only this high priest dared to disobey his will.
In Qiang Huzhong, although the divine power is not as good as the royal power, the royal power does not dare to really defy the divine power, at the very least, the face on the surface still has to be given.
Every steppe citizen is a believer in the Immortal Heaven So even if King Xiqiang knew that the high priest was giving him a haha, he could only expose the matter.
Since the high priest was reluctant to speak, he would have to choose one of the three options, but perhaps a fourth King Xiqiang thought for a while, and finally shook his head, these three choices, no matter which one they choose, look like they all have their own advantages.
Moreover, he is indeed an advantage, according to the content of the guest's letter, now all the soldiers in the three counties of Liangzhou combined, there are no 150,000 people, besides, their own army is twisted into a rope, and these Han people are to defend in various cities, and there may be less than 100,000 people who can really fight with themselves.
If it was before, these 100,000 people would be enough to drink a pot of their own, but now it is not the same as before, and their own army also has sharp weapons, so they have an absolute advantage in terms of troops.
If you have an absolute superiority in troops, then you will naturally fight as much as you want.
King Xiqiang thought for a while, when he hesitated, he chose to use the elimination method, first of all, the third choice is definitely not good, my Qiang tribe is not a thief, just came to your Liangzhou to steal things, my Qiang tribe is the darling of Changshengtian Well, until now, there is only the second option and the third option.
I have an army of 150,000 at my disposal, only 60,000 in Hutu City, and less than 10,000 defenders in Guzang City, so why can't I divide my army?
Attack Guzang, let the coalition army end up, so that they can't get the order of Guzang in Guzang City, then the coalition army will be like a headless fly.
Divide the troops, the main forces attack the small city of Hugh, encircle and suppress the Han army, and the forty or fifty thousand warriors are with a ladder to attack Guzang, I don't believe that several times the strength of the defenders, plus there are siege equipment, and there is no small Guzang After thinking about his choice, King Xiqiang said his choice.
After King Xiqiang said the words, Prince Xiangli didn't think about it, and naturally took the order, but the face of the great patriarch was full of worry, and Prince Tuoba bowed his head and fell silent.
"Guys, I think that's good."
The Great Patriarch was the first to stand up.
"My king, can you be a little presumptuous?"
King Xiqiang snorted, glanced at the patriarch again, and immediately made the latter dare not speak, but at this time, Prince Tuoba spoke.
"Since the father wants to attack in two ways, it is better to give his son 10,000 people and let the child go to Dunhuang County."
King Xiqiang's brow furrowed.
"Why is that?"
"If my father's strategy is effective, my father won't have to waste time attacking Dunhuang County, and naturally my son will fight it down for you, and if my father's attack doesn't go well, we won't lose all our money."
King Xiqiang thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"It's up to you."
Prince Tuoba hurriedly saluted King Xiqiang and said, "Thank you, father." ” Prince Tuoba lowered his head so low that no one knew what his eyes were like now.
Only he knew that these were fierce, cruel, and wise eyes.
Just like the blood flowing in his body, he wants to chat with more like-minded people about Cao Wei, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants:
