Chapter 536

"Liu Yangou thief!" Shi Xuan's bearded face was full of grievances and anger: "bullying people too much!"

The ice and snow in the central part of Bingzhou has not yet begun to melt, and even a light snow has fallen in recent days. It is reasonable that winter has not passed, and countries will not launch any military action.

However, if we look at the Han state established by Liu Yan, it seems that the military action never depends on the seasonality, but on whether it is needed?

Shi Xuan stayed in Jinyang, and the importance of Jinyang was highlighted after Shi Hu decided to withdraw to the north of the Great Wall. It is an avant-garde city in Dingxiang, the new capital of Shijie Zhao. After several times of wall heightening and thickening, the population has also increased due to the entry of various Hu species.

The snow and ice had not yet begun to melt, but the Han state did not intend to wait until the winter passed before fighting again. Li Tu reported to Shi Xuan that the number of Han troops in Jingling had been increasing, and the Han troops in Jicheng began to attack Yangyi again.

It was normal for Shi Xuan for the Han Army to attack Yangyi. After the confrontation between the two sides, even in the winter of ice and snow, they would often fight. This time, the scale of the Han Army under Yangyi city was slightly larger than before.

The most important information reported by Li Tu to Shi Xuan is that Shi Jie and Zhao Jun have found traces of a large march on the North Bank of jiuze, but they haven't found the Han Army after looking for it for a long time. He was an old soldier. He guessed that the Han army took advantage of the ice on jiuze lake and went to the northwest of Bingzhou.

Yangyi has not been defeated, Jinyang is heavily guarded, and Fu Hong leads a large army in Zhongyang. The reason why Shi Xuan is oppressed and angry is very simple. The war has not started yet, but the Han Army has made a move to prevent them from fleeing.

"Whether they want to raid from the flank or prevent us from retreating, they are too arrogant!" Shi Xuan inherited Shi Hu's personality gene. He was grumpy and irritable. He didn't say it. Cruelty seemed to be an instinct. His brain circuit was basically strange. He was still discussing military affairs at the last moment, and said at the next moment: "kill two Han women and steam them!"

In fact, Shi Jie used to call Han women bipedal sheep. After repeated battles and defeats with the Han Army, she no longer called bipedal sheep. She called Han women directly in a more retaliatory way.

Shi Hu led the crowd to the north. In addition to taking away a large number of Hu prisoners of all ethnic groups, Jin people also took a lot of them. Jin men were slaves or labor or abuse, while Jin women were raped, raped, slaughtered and eaten.

Jin people are right, that is, some Han Miao people who have never been in the Han country. But now no one is going to call Jin people. Han people are called Han people in order to improve their pride, and Hu Lu is called Han people in order to retaliate. Han people also began to call Jin people Han people again.

"Before the ice and snow melt, the Han army will start the war..." Li Tuman said anxiously, "it can be seen that after the weather gets warmer, the scale of the Han Army going north will be very large."

Shijie Zhao does not intend to stick to one city after another. It pays more attention to the preservation of living forces than defending the city.

Shi Hu has publicly stated that he should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but give full play to the cavalry advantages of Hu Lu, fight with the Han army like the Xiongnu in the wilderness, and clamor for another hundred year war.

To put it bluntly, Hu Lu is smart. He knows he is not good at city attack and defense. If he wants to find his old business, he can beat him if he can beat him, but he can't beat his horse and run away.

After Hu Lu changed his fighting strategy, there was no large number of gains in the confrontation between the Han Army and Hu Lu, and it was no longer as easy to annihilate tens of thousands of Hu Lu as before. Every time, Hu Lu withdrew when the opportunity was wrong. Both sides fought with cavalry. Relatively speaking, the speed of Hu Lu's light cavalry was faster, and the gains of the Han army were naturally limited.

Shi Xuan asked Li Tu, "what's the good opinion of the general?"

There is more than one general in Shijie Zhao state, and there are many generals with various prefixes to an amazing extent. Li Tu is a general with a champion, and the full name of his official position is called champion general. Fu Hong is one of those who once served as a champion general in Shijie Zhao state.

Li Tu seemed to have made up his mind for a long time and said directly, "Your Majesty doesn't care about the gains and losses of the city. We have always suffered losses in the attack and defense war with the Han army. It's better to move early."

Without hesitation, Shi Xuan said, "then report to your father."

"Your majesty will certainly agree." Li Tu said confidently and suggested, "the prince can order to prepare for evacuation first."

To put it bluntly, Shi Jie and Zhao are not all fools. The state of Han hopes that Shi Jie and Zhao have cities to guard, so as to eliminate the effective power of Shi Jie and Zhao? Shijie Zhao's core strategy is to fight with the Han army for a long time on the vast grassland. They feel that they don't care about the gains and losses of the city is an effective strategy.

"Since we want to retreat, we must find the trace of the Han Army going north through jiuze." Shi Xuan said fiercely, "they know we will withdraw, but they can't guess that we will withdraw without worry. Find the Han Army going north and seize the opportunity to eat it!"

"In this way, Yangyi needs to change its defense. With miscellaneous Hu and slave soldiers as the main force, how long it can last is how long." After thinking for a while, Li Tu took a closer step and suggested, "the prince should order them to make a feint of going south to fight."

The cavalry general mentioned by Li Tu is Fu Hong, and Fu Hong is currently under the command system of Shi Xuan.

"Although the old fox is under the command of an orphan, he has always relied on the old to sell the old and did not listen to the command." Shi Xuan didn't like Fu Hong, not only because Fu Hong rebelled openly last time, but also because Fu Hong had too strong strength: "the old man dared to obey his father's orders."

"It's just a feint. The cavalry general won't refuse." Seeing Shi Xuan's nonsense, Li Tu said with a bitter smile, "if Fu Hong doesn't even feint, I'm afraid the prince can't destroy the Han Army going north. It's time to try his best to avoid it."

Shi Xuan was no longer obsessed with whether Fu Hong obeyed his orders. It happened that the steamed food that slaughtered the Han women was also sent up, and the invitation to Li Tu for a good meal was refused.

Cannibalism. Not everyone in the Jie nationality likes to eat. In fact, Li Tu feels that cannibalism is disgusting. Sometimes he is forced to eat by the Shihu family. It can even be said that the taste of people in the Jie nationality is good. The following is the reason to follow suit.

The highest commander of Shijie in Bingzhou is Prince Shi Xuan, but the people who really work are actually Li Tu and Fu Hong. Li Tu is in charge of the east of Binzhou and Fu Hong is in charge of the west of Binzhou.

About two days later, Fu Hong received Shi Xuan's order.

"The boy asked us to go south? Although it was a feint, he didn't tell us that the Han Army had gone north." Fu Hou's face was slightly ferocious: "what's the truth!"

Not to mention how to go south in ice and snow, Shijie Zhao is now on the defensive against the Han Army, and Shi Hu clearly said that there is no need to stick to the central part of Bingzhou. Against this background, none of the generals in the middle of Bingzhou plans to fight with the Han army. If they go south and are bitten by the Han Army... It seems that they will really be bitten. Who will entangle with the Han army now is stupid.

Fu An asked, "is it Shi Hu who can't wait to weaken us again?"

Fu Hong just looked at his two younger brothers quietly, venting one stubble after another.

In the eyes of many people, Shi Jie and Zhao Conghui have evolved from the overlord of the Central Plains to the world power, which is completely the fault of Shi Hu. There seems to be nothing wrong with their views. Shi Hu misjudged Liu Yan, and it was too obvious to weaken the Qiang and Di, the two largest thugs of the Jie nationality, in exchange for the decline of Shi Jie Zhao.

To be fair, it's not just Shi Hu's wrong judgment on Liu Yan's rise. It should be that in addition to Liu Yan himself, none of them thought it would be such a situation. Therefore, it can't be said that Shi Hu is stupid, but Liu Yan's rise is too unreasonable.

Shi Hu wants to weaken the Qiang and di ethnic groups. The number of the two ethnic groups is too amazing. At the same time, Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong have too high prestige. In order to keep the dominant position of the Jie ethnic group, it is not wrong to weaken the Qiang and di ethnic groups themselves.

After Yao Yizhong was captured by the Han Army, the Qiang nationality has fallen into a fragmented situation. Shi Jie's goal to eliminate the potential threat of the Qiang nationality has been achieved. Without the rise of the Han country, it can be said to be perfect.

Fu Hong, the leader of the di nationality, was lucky. Although they were defeated in the war with the Han Army, Fu Hong's elite loss was not too serious. Moreover, the survival of the leader also enabled the di nationality to at least unite. However, in this way, the di nationality completely saw the Shi Hu and Jie nationality. Although Fu Hong took refuge in the Shi Hu again, the rift between the two sides could not be made up.

"Brother, if you want me to say, just retreat to the basin under the plateau." Marquis Fu was actually opposed to being attached to Shijie's banner again, but Fu Hong had a firm attitude. He said: "Shi Hu let us go to Bingzhou. It must be the purpose of consuming us. We can't get trust. What are we going to do?"

"Wait." Fu Hong finally said, "we need enough craftsmen and more books."

Di nationality is different from Jie nationality. Although Jie nationality rules the Central Plains, it does not care about Han family culture and technology. Di nationality in the semi Han family stage understands what culture and technology mean.

Although Fu Hong is a di nationality, he is actually very familiar with Han culture. This time, he will take refuge in Shi Hu again, not how loyal he is to Shi Hu. Otherwise, he won't abandon Shi Hu and move to Guanzhong last time. He wants to rely on Shi Jie again to suck blood, get rid of the craftsmen Shi Jie doesn't care about and collect more books.

Because Shi Jie didn't care, Fu Hong led his army into Bingzhou without much cover up. He plundered the population in a series of looting, especially looking for various craftsmen. He made every effort to collect books everywhere, and the obtained population and resources were sent to the north.

As strong as the former actual ruler of the Central Plains, the Jie nationality retreated from the rise of the Han state. Fu Hong did not feel that he could fight the Han state with the di nationality.

Fu Hong thought more thoroughly than Shi Hu and read more history books than Shi Hu. If we go over the historical classics, we can find that when the local forces in the Central Plains rise and show signs of prosperity, it is time for some ethnic groups other than "Chinese" to lie down, that is, they are tortured to death by the local dynasties in the Central Plains.

No matter how you look at it, the state of Han is a strong country. When you are weak, you dare to be an enemy all over the world. Even without a big defeat, Fu Hong feels that the rise of the state of Han is unstoppable. It's sheer stupidity to stay around the state of Han. He has thought about making a big profit and should go away. He even thinks about where to go.

Fu Hong wants to go to the basin below the plateau, which has always been the habitat of the Qiang nationality. At present, the Qiang nationality is divided. The di nationality and the Qiang nationality have always had roots. He thinks he can become the commander of the Qiang nationality by taking advantage of the origin, which is equivalent to easily gaining a foothold in the basin.

The basin under the plateau is a good place. In addition to Qiang and a small number of Di, another large ethnic group is Tuguhun. The Tuyuhun clan is actually clearly divided into dozens of tribes. In a few hundred years of merger, there will be six (that is, the later six imperial edicts) and established the Nanzhao state.

Since he wanted to get a vote and leave, Fu Hong could not go to work hard with the Han army. He not only disobeyed Shi Xuan's orders many times, but also disobeyed Shi Hu's will. What he is thinking now is that the action of the Han army is earlier than expected, and it seems that the action is bigger than expected. Should the di nationality leave the Jie nationality to run again.

"Reply to the prince..." Fu Hong deliberately paused and said with a smile: "just say that he will follow the order to go south."

Fu Hou and Fu An were immediately surprised and asked in unison, "elder brother, don't you really want to go south?"

"It's not going south..." Fu Hong said calmly, "get ready. Let's withdraw to the North First, meet with the Ministry and then go to the basin."

This time, not only Fu Hou and Fu An were excited, but also Fu Hong's sons laughed happily.

"Shi Xuan wanted to use us to drag the Han Army to run, so we pretended to obey orders and asked him to help us drag the Han army." Fu Jian only had three battles with the Han Army in Guanzhong, but he was very impressed by the Han Army: "it's better for Shi Xuan to die in the hands of the Han Army and let Shi Hu go south to fight with 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 his father and son. 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 scold at most. It's better to go south for revenge.

Li Tan, who is in Jingling, has been dispatching troops and generals. He knows that the enemy will respond, but the intelligence has been gathered again and again, but Shi Xuan and Fu Hong have a big movement.

"Shi Xuan has been increasing troops to Yangyi. At present, the enemy force in Yangyi has reached 70000." TIAOYU was confused and asked with uncertainty, "Qianlang should have been found going north. Shi Xuancai sent more troops to Yangyi?"

Li Tan didn't expect Qian Jiantong to go north to keep secret, but being detected and found were two different things.

Shijie found that there was a Han Army going north. Before he found the Han Army going north, he must be afraid, and what the northern shogunate wanted was Shijie's fear.

"Keep an eye on Donggong Gaoli. Shi Xuan will be there wherever they are." Li Tan said Zhongyang again: "Fu Hong made too much noise, but he had to guard against it."

The Han Army's message about Zhongyang was that Fu Hong kept sending reconnaissance horses south, which meant to March south, but he didn't expect Fu Hong to take people running
