Chapter 380 More than 100,000 rebels who cannot advance or retreat

Cai Yong's students are shorter than military and political affairs, but no matter how they are, they are still a famous scholar. They are better than the poor scholars from the Yellow Turban Army that Dong Hu had. At least they have greater potential and richer knowledge in all aspects, right?

Ruan Yu became the chief envoy around Dong Hu, busy all day long, but in Lian County, he also learned the military reports, numbers, and even pinyin for a year. He was an extremely smart guy. He was busy all day long, but Dong Hu was a little idle. Apart from staying in the military camp to supervise the promotion, he hid in the general's camp with a little bit of a big baby, or ran to Lian County School to be a professor or a teacher. At least in Ruan Yu's eyes, this lord was not very reliable. Even if he was the head of the Huns and the elders came to Lian County, he still didn't come forward and let himself handle it with all his power...

Dong Hu's life is very regular. Before dawn, he practices martial arts in the yard for half an hour. He handles military affairs in the morning and in the afternoon is government affairs time. However, he is not too concerned about government affairs, and he still asks veterans to handle it with some poor scholars. When he is in Lian County, he often teaches some children in Dongjia School in the afternoon, and government affairs are used to correct homework. If he still has some time, he will stay in the camp, walk around the weaving workshop, and walk around the military camp...

During the non-war period, Dong Hu's life was still quite loose. Others were busy preparing for the war, but he felt a little idle and pain. He ignored the Luoyang incident and the princess Liu Yan started a mutton soup business in Chang'an, and even more so did Wang Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others to attack Chen Cang.

Chen Cang is not big, with only three or five thousand soldiers inside. Although they enter the main road of Sanfu in Chang'an on the Wei River Road... Some people may say that Chen Cang is so important. It is a strategic location that the kingdom, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others must take. In fact, this is not the case. More than 100,000 Qiang people drilled out of the Wei River Road, and three or five thousand Han soldiers hid in the solid city. In the season when water drips into ice, they can use sacks to pour water on them. They can turn three zhang Chen Cang into four or five zhang overnight. They can also use the cold method to block the city gate. No matter how you hit it, it will be difficult to shake the frozen city gate.

It is not easy to attack the city in the cold season. Similarly, it is difficult for the Han soldiers to rescue. There are only three or five thousand Han soldiers in Chen Cang, and only five thousand soldiers can make the Han soldiers in Chen Cang unable to come out. If you want to be safer, just leave 10,000 people. Anyway, the kingdom, Han Sui and others have more than 100,000 people in their hands. As for fighting with a tiny city like this?

It was not because of the kingdom, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others who didn't know how to block Chen Cang's affairs. In fact, they used this method to confront the Han soldiers in the Meiyang Daying in the second year of Zhongping. The key was that when the rebellion in the winter of the first year of Zhongping, the rebel Qiang people robbed the grain of countless Han villages. They had enough food to fight, but now it is different. It has been four or five years since the winter of the first year of Zhongping. For four or five years, Liangzhou has been in constant turmoil. The arable land that could have produced grain has long been deserted, and more than 100,000 rebels did not have so much food at all.

Some people may not accept it. Liangzhou west of Longshan has fallen and has become a kingdom. Why can't the territory of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others be cultivated?

If Dong Hu returned to Liangzhou, even if he rebelled, he would farm as soon as possible. But before that, he would definitely beat everyone up and convince everyone. Only in this case can he farm with peace of mind.

There were countless Qiang people in Liangzhou, and no one could tell how many Qiang people were. Han Sui was only a famous scholar in Liangzhou and was a literati. Ma Teng was recruited by Youfufeng when the governor Geng Bi. Ma Teng himself was not from Liangzhou, but from Youfufeng. He was not a soldier, but a farmer or hunter. He joined when the governor Geng Bi recruited soldiers. However, Ma Teng was tall and burly. He quickly stood out among the Han soldiers and rose rapidly among the Han soldiers.

Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, recruited Ma Teng and some Han soldiers in Hanyang County. They were considered to be the soldiers of the court, which was somewhat different from the rebellious Qiang people. It was because Geng Bi was too radical and aggressive and wanted to take advantage of the split of the Eastern Qiang. When the Hanyang Qiang was recruited by Fu Xie, he recruited troops from six counties to kill Han Sui in one fell swoop. This forced the Hanyang Qiang who had just surrendered and rebelled again. Moreover, Geng Bi himself died in Didao. At this time, Ma Teng also led the Han soldiers in Ji County to rebel against the court and joined the rebellious Qiang people.

Han Sui himself is just a famous scholar in Liangzhou. Ma Teng rose for only two years. He is not a real Liangzhou native. Even if Ma Teng's blood is half of the blood of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, can he really let the Qiang people listen to him?

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Qiang people lasted for three hundred years. In the past three hundred years, there has never been a Qiang people who were defeated and bowed their heads. In the past three hundred years, the Qiang people have never won once. The Qiang people of various tribes are not fools. While they rebelled, they will definitely consider surrendering, so they let people like Han Sui and Ma Teng take the lead. Anyway, if they are defeated, it is great to use their heads to exchange for forgiveness from the court, and continue to surrender.

There are countless Qiang people in Liangzhou, and countless leaders of all sizes. A famous scholar in Liangzhou can make them obey orders honestly? Don’t be nonsense! Gaixun, Fu Xie is not a famous scholar in Liangzhou? Both of them have recruited Qiang people in Hanyang County? What’s the result? Are the Qiang people in Hanyang County honest? Dong Zhuo has been in Liangzhou for decades, and his prestige in Liangzhou is still comparable to Ma Teng, who has only risen for two years? Isn’t this nonsense? But did Dong Zhuo let the Qiang people in Liangzhou put down their weapons?

No matter what Liangzhou famous scholars or Liangzhou powerful men, they could really make the Qiang people in Liangzhou... or to make the Liangzhou people honest and obedient. The reason why they obey Han Sui, Ma Teng and the Kingdom was because these guys were willing to rebel and were willing to become the guy who lost his head after the failure of the rebellion. Any general who is familiar with the temperament of Liangzhou could not naively think that the people living in Liangzhou were restrained by Han Sui, Ma Teng and others.

The kingdom is the general of "Hezhong". Just look at the title of general he has given, you can know what the more than 100,000 people who cause trouble are like. So many people from so many forces gather together, even if they each plough the fields and farm, as long as one guy takes action with him, he will immediately curse each other, fight and loot. The kingdom, Han Sui and Ma Teng restrained this group of bastards and would not attack others and formulate a rule that everyone strictly abides by?

Stop talking nonsense, how is this possible?

The final result is that no one can grow the land, so they can only rely on cattle and sheep to survive. There is some food in Chen Cang... Even if there is no food, more than 100,000 rebels who only have cattle and sheep left must take down Chen Cang first. Cattle and sheep cannot be able to pull the food that runs around. Cattle and sheep need to be grazed and are easily frightened. Chen Cang is still one or two hundred miles away from Meiyang. At such a long distance, if the rear road is unstable and the supplies of cattle and sheep driven away by people can destroy more than 100,000 thieves with just a few dozen or millions of cattle and sheep.

There is no food to drag everywhere, and more than 100,000 rebels in Liangzhou can only knock down the cities along the way one by one. But this time it is a winter day when water turns into ice. It is not easy to win a city that can be reinforced with the cold. Moreover, the Qiang people in various tribes are not stupid or stupid, so they would not be willing to die first, and they would not attack a city without fear of death.

Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng got out of the Wei River in November and attacked Chen Cang for three months. There was no progress. Apart from the daily quarrels, the 100 leaders were left with their stomachs all day long. Anyway, as long as they spoke the word "strong attack", the 100 young and old leaders would fight each other, and they wanted to use their heads to erect a solid city. That would definitely not work!

Most of the generals of Dong Buyi were from Liangzhou. They knew very well about the rebellion of the Qiang people. Dong Hu didn't care much. Anyway, that's the case. If they couldn't use powerful force to make them bow their heads, all the famous scholars and prestige would be a cloud.

Zhang Wen was defeated by all six routes and taught enough lessons to the Han soldiers. Huangfu Song was extremely cautious. Although Chen Cang repeatedly asked for help, he did not send troops to rescue him. He quietly waited for the moment when more than 100,000 rebels' momentum declined. This was also the wisest choice. There was not enough food, cattle and sheep. At this time, Liangzhou could not confront the Han soldiers of Meiyang for one year like the second year of Zhongping. When he could not take down Chen Cang and could not grab the grain in Chen Cang, he would definitely withdraw to Liangzhou in spring, and this time was the best time to pursue the victory.

Not to mention Huangfu Song, even Dong Hu would take advantage of the Qiang people to withdraw troops. Of course, he would rather lead troops to lead the troops to fight with Wang Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others. For him, although he was safe when more than 100,000 thieves retreated in Liangzhou, the capture at this time was not very meaningful, because when the Qiang people retreated, the ones who retreated must be cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep supplies would first enter the Wei River Channel to retreat. At this time, not only would they not be able to catch enough cattle and sheep, but they would not be able to severely damage the young and strong main force of more than 10,000 thieves. Even if they cut and kill ten thousand or twenty thousand thieves, they would be just the old and weak who were unhurried. It would not be of much significance to chop these people. Only by head-on bulls can they seriously damage the elite main force of the thieves and completely create a favorable opportunity for pacifying Liangzhou.

Of course, more than 100,000 thieves ran to Chen Cangding Niu, which was more beneficial to Dong Hu and was easier to poke their butts. This was Dong Hu's favorite thing to do. Heavy snow blocked the road. Dong Hu slowly entered Shuofang County after the snowfall. The old boy Han Sui did not know that he appeared in Lian County. If he knew, he would probably run back to Jinchengsai without hesitation, instead of arguing with others under Chen Cang.

Han Sui's killing of Bian Zhang caused great harm to the Qiang people's alliance. The Qiang people in Han Yang did not trust the Qiang people in Jincheng County led by Han Sui. Sometimes it is like this. Once the seeds of doubting distrust are planted, it will be extremely difficult to make up for it...

As usual, except for drinking a large bowl of wine and eating meat in the central army, the rest was meaningless quarrel. Yan Zhongcang got much older and was wearing the cotton coat that Dong Hu gave him back then. But so many years have passed, the cotton coat was old and repaired, but he still didn't give up.

Yan Zhong didn't speak much all day long. If it weren't for Wang Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others asking, he wouldn't have spoken on his own...

"Father."
